Luo Li's words left Chu Di speechless. Knowing that he couldn't get anything valuable out of her mouth, Chu Di picked up the reins and galloped his horse away at a faster speed.
The group of people traveled non-stop all night long, covered with stars and moon, and finally returned to Longdu City at noon the next day.
Enter the city.
Emperor Chu let Han Bing fall, Shangguan Bangning took Luo Li to the palace, and he and Bai Qi's generals galloped towards the military camp.
While traveling all night, Emperor Chu kept thinking about why Dugu Wubai must get Li Ke. Emperor Chu must get the answer to this doubt in his mind.
otherwise.
He will be restless, like a hundred claws scratching his heart.
The rumble of horses' hooves echoed over Longdu City, and within the time of a stick of incense, Emperor Chu appeared outside the military camp with Bai Qi's generals.
He jumped off his horse and strode towards the military camp.
When Yue Fei learned that Emperor Chu was coming in person, he had already come out of the barracks and strode forward to greet him.
"Yue Aiqing, where is Li Ke now?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the defeated general Li Ke is imprisoned in the barracks and is guarded by Lu Wenlong, Yang Zaixing, Zhang Xian and Gao Chong."
Hear the sound.
Emperor Chu signaled Yue Fei to lead the way, and the group walked towards the barracks.
Soon they appeared outside the barracks, and the four high-favored generals stepped forward to salute. Emperor Chu just raised his hand slightly, signaling them to open the cell door.
Creak.
The prison door opened, and Emperor Chu bowed into it, his eyes resting on Li Ke. The former king of Shu, Li Ke, was so high-spirited. After Li Chengqian and Li Tai lost their favor, he was infinitely close to the supreme position.
But all this was destroyed by Emperor Chu. He was reduced from a noble prince to a prisoner, suffering the disaster of imprisonment.
Emperor Chu's eyes passed over Li Ke, and his information appeared in his mind. After a brief check, he found that there was nothing special about it.
In this way, Emperor Chu became more and more confused. The Shura world wanted to get him at all costs, and there must be a hidden secret in it.
This is the thought.
Emperor Chu looked back and gave the generals a look, and everyone rushed out of the cell, "Li Ke, I have something unclear. I hope you can answer my questions."
"Haha~"
"The Emperor of Chu is in charge of the world and is so powerful that he still needs help from me, a prisoner, for something?"
"I have been reduced to a prisoner. I have nothing to say about what Emperor Chu wants to know. If you want to kill or behead him, it is up to you."
Li Ke did not raise his head, his messy black hair covering his cheeks. Emperor Chu could not see his expression, but he could hear it from his tone.
He wanted nothing more than to die.
"Li Ke, I have never thought of killing you. Longtang has been destroyed. You are just a prisoner now. I can give you a new life."
"But now someone wants your life. People have been sent here several times. If you are really not afraid of death, I will let you go now."
"Except for Longdu City, whether you live or die has nothing to do with me."
Emperor Chu stood with his sleeves folded and his hands behind his back, and said in a low voice.
this moment.
Emperor Chu is gambling.
Because he guessed that Li Ke was wanted by the Shura Realm, and Li Shimin should have left something to him.
These people were only interested in the things Li Ke had. As for his life, after getting the things, they immediately discarded them like worn out shoes.
"Are you serious about letting me go?" Li Ke raised his head slightly and asked in a suspicious voice.
"Jun Wuxi, you can leave at any time!"
Emperor Chu's expression was solemn and he sounded determined.
this moment.
Li Ke slowly stood up, brushed away the black hair covering his face, stared at Emperor Chu for a long time, and then spoke.
"I can tell you what you want to know, but why do you make me believe that you won't kill me?"
"If I wanted to kill you, why wait until now!"
"You can now walk out of the prison door and take a look. I have released all the prisoners in the Longtang War. I have allowed the Eight-Nation Allied Forces to return to their territories and rewarded them with food, grass, baggage, cattle, sheep, gold and silver."
"I want to unify the world. My purpose is just to end the war as soon as possible and let the people of the world live in peace."
The Emperor of Chu knew that he was not a saint, and in his heart he had the idea of eradicating the roots and eliminating future troubles forever. However, he also knew very well that water can carry a boat and also capsize it.
And the Revenge Legion woke him up, so he had given up the idea of killing Li Ke.
In the future, the Chu State will become more and more powerful. What kind of disturbance can a mere Li Ke cause?
Hear the sound.
Li Ke's face was as dark as water, as if he was thinking about something. When he was young, he suddenly said, "My father gave me something. He said that this thing is related to the survival of the war continent."
"But what is its purpose, I really don't know."
While speaking, Li Ke raised his hand and handed something in the shape of a jade pendant to Emperor Chu. This object looked like a jade pendant, but it was not jade, but made of a piece of meteorite iron from outside.
Emperor Chu held the jade pendant in his palm and turned on the system scan. A stream of information suddenly appeared in his mind.
"It turns out that the Shura Realm wants to get this jade pendant, thereby taking away the spiritual source of the War Continent and turning the entire continent into a lifeless desert."
This black iron in the shape of a jade pendant is the secret key to unlocking the underground spiritual source. A detailed introduction is given in the system.
There are three secret keys in total. Once the underground spiritual source is lost, the War Continent will become a place of death, and all living creatures will have no chance to survive.
The land will be barren of grass, rivers, lakes and seas will dry up in an instant. Even if the people of the world want to migrate, they will have nowhere to go and can only starve to death and become bones.
"I have accepted this item, and I will send someone to protect you!"
Emperor Chu glanced at Li Ke who looked dull, stood up and walked out of the cell. He took a few steps forward and suddenly stopped, "Let's go, I will take you to a place!"
The army was preparing to leave Longdu City, and it was not the best idea to leave Li Ke in the cell, so Emperor Chu decided to hand him over to Xiao Luoli.
Li Yuanba is now responsible for accompanying Xiao Luo Li to practice, so he can protect Li Ke's safety. In history, Li Ke and Li Xiuning also happen to have some connections with Yuanba.
To protect Li Ke's safety, no one is more suitable than Luo Li.
Return to the palace.
Emperor Chu took Li Ke outside the palace where Luo Li lived.
At this time, Luo Li was instructing Li Xiuning on his cultivation, saying from time to time, "If you want to be my maid, your cultivation level is too weak."
"Xiao Luoli, I brought you someone, and he will stay with you from now on. What do you think?"
Hear the sound.
Luo Li looked back and her eyes stayed on Ji Ji, "Well, his relationship with me, the maid, is not simple!"
The words fell.
Luo Li came to Emperor Chu's side and said, "I only accept beauties here, men should stay away."
"If you take him away and stay here with me, he will die easily."
Emperor Chu frowned slightly, not expecting Luo Li to be so cruel, and a smile appeared on his cheeks, "Excuse me!"
Unable to keep Li Ke by Luo Li's side, Emperor Chu was in trouble for a while.
"Zhengchun, take Li Ke down and let him stay by Yue Fei's side first!"
"Old slave, take your orders!"
Cao Zhengchun left with Li Ke. Emperor Chu glanced at Luo Li, chuckled and walked towards the deep palace.
at this time.
Outside Longdu City.
In the wilderness, a fast horse galloped under the red flames. The soldier sitting on the horse had a golden dragon flag behind his back. He was obviously dressed as a Chu army scout.
At this time, the scouts from 800 miles away rushed in. It must be a military report of the battle on the front line of Chu State.
