Before Xiao Shi could send someone to greet him, Xiao Qi came over on her own.
She was dressed in a white shirt, and her whole body was spotless, just like a Gushe fairy who did not eat the fireworks of the world.
She had already heard the voice announcing the decree and looked at Chu Li with cold eyes.
Chu Li smiled and said: "Miss, we have to separate. This time it is as Miss wishes!"
Xiao Qi said: "Do you really want to go to the imperial mausoleum?"
"The imperial edict has been issued and cannot be disobeyed," Chu Li said.
Xiao Shi told Chu Li what he had done last night, and Xiao Qi raised her eyebrows: "The Emperor is sparing your life. A death sentence can be avoided but a living crime cannot be spared. According to his character, he will not let you return to the capital of God again."
Chu Li nodded.
Xiao Shi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, he has magical powers anyway and can come back at any time."
Xiao Qi showed a strange expression.
"What's the matter? Isn't it right?" Xiao Shi saw her expression was different and asked hurriedly: "As long as she doesn't appear in public."
"Then Second Sister, you will be disappointed." Xiao Qi's cold face showed a half-smile expression, and said lightly: "You cannot use magical powers in the imperial mausoleum."
"Hmm——?" Xiao Shi said in surprise: "Can't you use magical powers?"
Xiao Qi said: "If you think about it, you will know that if the imperial mausoleum can use magical powers, how can it be guarded?"
Xiao Shi's beautiful face sank and she looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li shook his head and said, "You really can't use magical powers?"
"It is said to be like this, you will know if you go and take a look." Xiao Qi said.
Xiao Shi frowned and thought for a while, then nodded slowly.
When Chu Li mentioned it at first, he was worried and then immediately overjoyed, so he didn't think about it. Now when he was reminded by Xiao Qi, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made sense. If he could really use magical powers, then who could prevent it?
The imperial mausoleum is no less luxurious than the Forbidden Palace. The underground palace is the same as the palace of the Forbidden Palace. It is almost the same model, except that the ones sitting in the palace are the remains of past emperors, not living people.
The security of this underground palace is similar to that of the Forbidden Palace, or even a little stricter.
It is said that the emperor's legacy contains the great mysteries of the gods, which are not allowed to be seen by outsiders. Since the emperor is a god, he is far better than the guards. Therefore, in terms of tight defense, the imperial mausoleum is even better than the forbidden palace.
Xiao Shi hummed: "Isn't that the end?"
"Once you go to the imperial mausoleum, Chu Li can't come back." Xiao Qi nodded lightly.
Xiao Shi frowned and looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li said: "I will find a way."
Xiao Qi said calmly: "If it were so easy, guarding the imperial mausoleum wouldn't be a chore."
Chu Li smiled confidently.
"Okay, if you can think of a way, don't stay there all day long, we are still waiting for you here!" Xiao Shi hummed.
Chu Li has become her backbone. Although there is nothing going on in Prince An's palace, he just sits down and chats for a few words when he comes back. Everything is on track, the guards are strong enough, and Xiao Qi is here, so she is safe and worry-free.
But Chu Li was not here, so I always felt a little uneasy, a little weak, and unsteady.
——
The four of them left Prince An's Mansion without any guards, only Chu Li, Xiao Qi, Xiao Shi, and Suru.
The three women all had white gauze covering half of their faces, revealing only a pair of bright eyes. Chu Li was dressed in a green shirt, with a long sword hanging on his waist, and he looked heroic and upright.
The four of them walked around all morning and then went to a restaurant for lunch.
Lingyun Tower is considered to be the top restaurant in Shendu. It has three floors and is about 30 meters long. Standing on the upper floor and looking down at Shendu, it is as prosperous as brocade. It really makes you feel proud. The chef of the restaurant is also outstanding. It is said that our ancestors once
It is an ancestral craft from the imperial kitchen of the Forbidden City.
The four of them arrived very early, and there were only five or six tables occupied on the third floor. They found a seat by the window and ordered several signature imperial dishes.
The food was served very quickly and was full of flavor and color. It was worthy of the title of royal meal. Chu Li and the three girls ate it with gusto.
The three women only ate vegetables and did not drink alcohol. They chewed slowly and elegantly.
Chu Li drank a pot of fine wine by himself, enjoying himself leisurely, while Suru helped him pour the wine.
They didn't talk much, they just listened to the chatter of the people around them, and it was a pleasure to hear what was going on in the divine capital city.
"Have you heard that?" A fat old man stroked his beard and shook his head, sighing: "Chu Li, the chief manager of Prince An's Mansion, is in trouble!"
"I heard the imperial edict with my own ears." Another skinny old man shook his head and said: "This General Manager of Chu is too arrogant. Sooner or later he will do this!"
"That's not entirely true. This General Manager of Chu acts fairly and is not afraid of power." Another black-faced old man said solemnly: "It is rare for such a person to be born. It is a pity that good people do not live long."
"He's not dead yet."
"Although he is not dead, he is still close. If he goes to guard the imperial mausoleum, he will have to pay his dues in this life. He can only live in obscurity in the imperial mausoleum for the rest of his life. He will never appear in front of people again. This life is completely finished."
"It won't appear in the capital of God either."
"Alas... it's such a pity that such a person ended up like this!"
"Actually, he is young and has a bright future. He may be able to leave the imperial mausoleum and return to the divine capital in the future."
"Old Zhang, have you ever heard of anyone who came out of the Imperial Tomb?"
"Everything about the imperial mausoleum is a secret. Once you enter, you will not want to come back. You will stay with the imperial mausoleum for the rest of your life."
"Doesn't that mean he's finished?"
"I can only live in the imperial mausoleum for the rest of my life, which is quite isolated from this martial arts world!"
"Poor!"
"As you climb high, you fall hard." The fat old man shook his head and sighed: "He used to be so majestic, but one day he will eventually come to this day. The emperor still has the final say in the world. If he offends the prince, he will not get any good results."
"He is too brave to deceive the emperor and ignore the emperor! He is the emperor!"
As an emperor and a master of the gods, he is deeply respected by everyone in a world where martial arts is the most important thing. Chu Li dared to deceive the emperor, which really surprised them.
He dared to deal with the prince, but he also dared to deceive the emperor. He was so courageous!
"Without the chief manager, Prince An's Mansion will probably decline."
"Prince An is actually overwhelmed by this chief manager. This is a relief. Maybe Prince An's palace will be more prosperous."
"Haha, a first-grade general manager, what prince can bear this?"
Chu Li took a sip of wine, thoughtfully.
Xiao Shi raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "It seems you are unpopular!"
"Humph!" Xiao Qi snorted lightly, feeling that their words sounded harsh.
Suru shook her head.
Chu Li said: "Following the red and the white has been going on since ancient times, there is nothing surprising about it."
"I guess there will be a lot of fun watching you this time." Xiao Shi said, "Especially when you become the king, you must be extremely happy."
"It must be so." Chu Li said with a smile: "There is also Leng Tao, I'm afraid he will get drunk and sing, and he will be happy."
As he was talking, footsteps sounded.
Several guards went upstairs, glanced left and right, and their eyes fell on Xiao Qi. Seeing that she was a woman, their eyes softened, turned their heads and shouted: "Your Majesty, no problem!"
Qiao San led the way, came up early, bowed and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please——!"
Leng Tao waved his fan and swaggered onto the third floor. He glanced lazily at everyone, and his eyes suddenly narrowed when he saw Chu Li.
His fat and fair face suddenly burst into a smile: "Ha, who is this!"
Chu Li held the wine glass and looked at him sideways.
Leng Tao laughed twice: "Isn't this the famous General Manager Chu!"
Chu Li said lightly: "Prince Tao seems to have forgotten his lesson!"
"Chu Li, things are not the same now!" Leng Tao closed his folding fan, clapped his palms proudly, and said with a smile: "What do you dare to do to me!"
"Even if I want to go to the imperial mausoleum, I'm still a first-class person, so I can still beat you without any problem." Chu Li said lazily, holding the wine glass.
Qiao San angrily shouted: "Chu Li, you are so brave!"
