Chu Li rolled his eyes and squinted at Qiao San: "It's rare to be loyal."
Qiao San snorted and said: "What a status the prince is, even though you, the Chief Manager Chu, are in a high and powerful position, you can't talk to the prince like this!"
Chu Li said: "What grade is he?"
"Grade isn't everything." Qiao San hummed.
Chu Li gave a "scoff" smile and turned to look at Leng Tao: "Prince Tao, it seems that your guard does not value rank so much. You are really brave. I admire you!"
Leng Tao coughed lightly, threw open the folding fan, shook it a few times and said, "People in the martial arts world don't value grade so much. What matters is blood. I am of authentic royal blood!"
"It's a pity that you couldn't inherit the emperor's excellence." Chu Li shook his head and said: "It's so sad to have wine and rice bags!"
"Chu, you are like this, why are you so proud!" Leng Tao finally couldn't pretend anymore and simply broke his face. Anyway, he had to guard the imperial mausoleum, so there was no need to worry about it. We would never see each other again in the future.
Chu Li said: "It is a good job for me to guard the imperial mausoleum."
"Haha, what a good job!" Leng Tao smiled disdainfully: "You are really good at comforting yourself, what a good job!"
Chu Li said with a smile: "You can concentrate on practicing martial arts, which is no different from seclusion."
"It's a retreat, but what you're in is a death retreat!" Leng Tao curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Once you enter the imperial mausoleum, don't think about it. No matter how strong your martial arts is, there is no use for it.
Sad or not?”
"I believe the emperor will call me back." Chu Li said.
"It's ridiculous. You have deceived the emperor and have been accused of such a crime. Even if the new emperor comes to the throne, he will not dare to use you." Leng Tao looked at him sideways, shook his head and said: "The emperor hates you very much and will never let you go."
Come out!"
"Who can see clearly what the future holds?"
"You're tough!" Leng Tao said disdainfully: "Your proud days are over. It's very boring in the imperial mausoleum. Let's see if you can endure it!"
Chu Li smiled.
Xiao Shi's face looked ugly, and Xiao Qi's face also dropped.
Leng Tao clasped his fists and said, "Third Aunt, I'm leaving now!"
Xiao Shi said coldly: "Leng Tao, is what you said true?"
Leng Tao smiled and said: "Anyway, General Manager Chu is finished. Third Aunt must also make preparations, arrange them properly, and make plans in advance!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, too lazy to argue with Chu Li. Instead, he was an insignificant person.
"This guy!" Xiao Shi shook his head and looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li saw that the three women all looked worried and smiled: "Ignore him, there will be a solution."
"I hope so." Xiao Shi sighed.
She had always had confidence in Chu Li, but the news she heard was worse than the last. It seemed that entering the imperial mausoleum was like entering the cold palace, with no chance of success, which made her feel weak and worried.
Xiao Qi muttered: "It seems that it is easy to get in but difficult to get out. You have to be careful."
Chu Li nodded.
The four of them returned to Prince An's Mansion in low spirits. As soon as they reached the gate, the foreign manager, Mr. Chu, ran over and whispered: "Princess, the chief manager, Prince Jing is waiting in the mansion. He has been here for half an hour!"
Chu Li nodded: "I'll be there right away."
Xiao Shi and Xiao Qi went directly into the mansion and returned to Tianshu Courtyard, while Chu Li came to the hall.
The light in the hall is bright, King Jing is dressed in purple robe, sitting in the Taishi chair, reading a book, his expression is focused and serious, and his majesty is faint.
He was interrupted by the sound of footsteps coming from outside. He put down his book and looked around. When he saw Chu Li coming in with his fists clasped, he stood up and clasped his fists.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for waiting for a long time!" Chu Li clasped his fists and sat down opposite King Jing.
A handsome maid held the tea cup and stepped back lightly.
Chu Li took a sip of tea and put down the cup: "Your Highness came to the palace in person. What can I teach you?"
This was the first time he met King Jing in Prince An's Mansion. Prince Jing had almost never been to Prince An's Mansion.
King Jing sighed: "I heard the imperial edict, Mr. Chu, do you really want to guard the imperial mausoleum?"
"The emperor's decree has been issued, I cannot disobey it!" Chu Li nodded.
King Jing frowned and looked at him: "What happened to make my father so angry?"
Chu Li said: "I found out the mastermind who assassinated Princess Ping, and then told the mastermind to Prince Ping."
"Who is the mastermind?" King Jing said solemnly: "It can't be me, right?"
Many people outside said that he sent someone to assassinate the princess in order to affect Prince Ping's mood and make him so upset that he could no longer lead his troops in the war.
"It's not the prince." Chu Li shook his head: "It's Dazheng Xuanji Pavilion."
"Dazheng?!" King Jing said in disbelief: "How could it be them? Isn't it the Holy Sect of Light?"
Shaking his head: "Xuanji Pavilion hid the chess pieces in the Holy Sect of Light. It was used at the critical moment. Everyone thought it was the Holy Sect of Light."
King Jing gritted his teeth and sneered: "What a ruthless Xuanji Pavilion!"
This move was so vicious that no one would think of it. Everyone speculated that the murderer was either the Great Li Guangming Holy Sect or him.
Chu Li sighed.
King Jing said: "I heard the news that the fourth brother was going to give up his military power and was hit by the princess's assassination. He was disheartened and refused to return to the border. He wanted to live in seclusion and ignore the world. It is said that he also wanted to guard the imperial mausoleum!"
Chu Li looked at him in surprise. He didn't expect that King Ping would be so resolute and resolute that he would directly give up his military power. What's more, he would go to guard the imperial mausoleum.
"Speaking of which, the fourth brother is really pitiful, the fourth sister-in-law is the most innocent, Xuanji Pavilion deserves to die!" At the end of his sentence, King Jing's face darkened, he gritted his teeth, and his voice was cold and full of murderous intent.
When he thought about his own princess being assassinated, he felt chills all over and his heart beat faster. He couldn't imagine how painful it would be.
Xuanji Pavilion's move is too cruel and intolerable.
"The emperor promised Prince Ping to guard the imperial mausoleum?"
"How is that possible?" King Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "After listening to the emperor's imperial edict, I suddenly understood that the fourth brother is probably fighting with his father. He must have failed to plead for you, so he said this."
Chu Li nodded slowly: "If King Ping doesn't intercede for me, the emperor is afraid that he will kill me directly. In order to hide the news, the emperor asked Commander Xu to go to the imperial mausoleum, thinking that I didn't know the mastermind. As a result, King Ping sent someone to ask me.
, I really couldn’t bear to lie and told the truth.”
King Jing sighed: "Mr. Chu, you are also a temperamental person!"
He could guess Chu Li's situation at that time. If he went against his father's intention and revealed the real culprit, he would be killed. However, Chu Li accidentally leaked it and went to guard the imperial mausoleum. It was a fluke.
If it hadn't been for Fourth Brother's intercession, Chu Li would have died based on his father's temper!
Chu Li said: "I can't change my temper, and if a cultivator loses his original intention, it will be difficult to achieve perfection."
"Thank you very much on behalf of Fourth Brother!" King Jing clasped his fists.
Chu Li smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are relieved now, right?"
King Jing showed a wry smile: "I didn't expect Fourth Brother to be like this, but the absence of Fourth Brother at the border is really worrying."
Chu Li smiled and said nothing.
The meaning of King Jing's words was profound. Obviously, he was worried not about Da Li, but that King Ping's subordinates would be unconvinced and their military morale would be unstable and difficult to control.
King Ping had too much prestige in the army, so he left suddenly without a word of explanation. How could those subordinates feel at ease? They might think that the emperor had forcibly taken away King Ping's military power, and they would be dissatisfied.
King Jing picked up the tea cup and took a sip, bowing his head and saying nothing.
Chu Li smiled and said: "If King Ping comes to see me, I will ask King Ping to write a letter to his subordinates."
"There is no greater good than this!" King Jing stood up and clasped his fists in a solemn salute.
Chu Li waved his hand: "Your Majesty, you're welcome." (To be continued.)
