Chapter 194 Confrontation

The delicate maid came to the courtyard lightly with her colorful dress fluttering, and said in a low voice, "Guard Chu, the lord is here to invite you."

Chu Li suppressed his anger, nodded and smiled, "Thank you."

He followed the maid out of the small courtyard, and after passing through the Moon Gate, he saw Manager Chu.

Manager Chu waved lazily: "Come with me."

Chu Li cupped his fists and didn't say much.

He secretly sighed that if the second young lady wants to marry such a ruthless King An who only has the power of the throne, it is tantamount to the little white rabbit sending herself to the mouth of the big bad wolf.

He smiled wryly, this is not only to blame the second young lady for being stupid, but also to blame her bad luck, bad luck, who would have thought that Wang An under the Qing name would be such a character, and he would be so unkind to others.

Just like when he met a liar and drunk driving in his later life, he was unlucky, so what can he do!

He was angry, angry and pitiful, wishing he could scold the second young lady face to face.

Manager Chu said slowly: "Tell you about the prince's rules, lest you make a mistake and blame it on your Duke's mansion."

Chu Li said: "I also ask Director Chu to give advice."

"Cough." Manager Chu coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said lazily, "Our prince likes quietness the most. He doesn't like loud voices, and he doesn't like people disturbing him to study."

"Yes." Chu Li nodded, no wonder there was no one outside his study, he seemed to be very sensitive to sound.

This shows that he has been in a state of anxiety, impetuous and restless, and this kind of person is most likely to be irritated.

Director Chu said again: "My lord is the most approachable, but hates deceit the most. Like the people in the mansion, if they make a mistake, if they tell the truth, they will not be severely punished. If they lie, they will be expelled from the mansion and never used again! "

Chu Li nodded.

He understood what Manager Chu meant, and asked him to tell the truth and not hide it.

"The murder of the envoy of the Royal Palace is the responsibility of your Duke's Palace, right?" Director Chu's voice was still laziness, but his eyes suddenly sharpened.

Chu Li sighed: "We are responsible for this matter. I was careless. I thought that no one would dare to touch people in the palace, so I didn't send too many experts to escort them. Our mansion is looking for the murderer. We will definitely punish the murderer and act as an envoy for the palace." revenge!"

"Hmph!" Director Chu sneered, "Everyone is dead, so what's the use of revenge!"

Chu Li said: "These people are so courageous, if they dare to kill the people in the palace today, they will dare tomorrow."

Manager Chu frowned and said, "Isn't Chongming Road Boping Haijing? Why did such a thing happen, you are fans of Taiping!"

Chu Li sighed: "Because of the peace, I didn't expect that the envoy of the palace would be killed."

"Anyway, you are right!" Director Chu said coldly.

Chu Li smiled and said no more.

This manager Chu is scheming and insidious, he keeps putting hats on the Duke's mansion, and he can only see the tricks and block them.

The two came to the spacious courtyard, Prince An's study.

"My lord, the person has already been brought." Manager Chu lowered his voice.

Chu Li didn't step into the yard, his hairs stood on end, and he immediately put himself in a dry state, as if he had not healed from an injury, and the master of the sky in the dark formed a menacing aura, as if warning him faintly.

"Come in!" came the voice of Prince An.

Director Chu stepped up the steps and gently opened the door, the wooden door turned silently and opened quietly.

He bowed to ask respectfully, completely different from the previous negligence.

Chu Li stepped into the hall, cupping his fists in salute.

Prince An sat comfortably in the grand master's chair, dressed in a bright yellow robe, even though his face was scorched and sickly, he still did not lose his luxurious demeanor.

Holding a celadon teacup, he looked Chu Li up and down, his piercing eyes seemed to be able to penetrate his heart.

Chu Li lowered his eyes slightly, stood quietly, and the big round mirror moved wisely.

Prince An put down the teacup and said calmly: "I heard that your second lady is in better health, is it true?"

Chu Li said: "Yes, Second Miss is in good health and has recovered."

Prince An fixedly looked at him, his eyes were compelling: "I have been sick since I was a child, how can I get better after a while?"

Chu Li said: "I found a plant of longevity grass in the mansion."

"Oh, everlasting grass..." Prince An nodded slowly, his eyes flickering.

Chu Li's heart sank.

He finally solved a doubt, the Feng Yuan Finger was cast by Prince An!

At that time, Prince An must have been in his twenties. Taking advantage of the second young lady's birth, he went to Yiguo's mansion to watch, and secretly cast the Fengyuan finger, which was so vicious that it made people chill.

Prince An said indifferently: "I heard that Feng Yuanzhi was hit. I am a good friend of your little prince. He lived in my mansion for a while when he was a child.... Tie Ying found his father, who retreated, and I will help him go. The queen mother who begged finally sent the forbidden palace to enshrine,...is it solved?"

Chu Li sighed secretly, no wonder the second lady was stupid, Prince An was actually a good friend of the eldest son.

He knew that the Eldest Young Master did not like Prince An, and thought it was simply an instinctive dislike of his brother-in-law, so he didn't go into it. Now that he thinks about it, the Eldest Young Master may also know that King An is inappropriate.

It's a pity that as an elder brother, he can't control his sister, just like parents can't control their children.

Chu Li said: "Second Miss is auspicious, she has been untied,...has your lord seen Third Miss?"

"Xiaoqi? She is a lonely girl. She likes to be alone since she was a child, but I have never seen her before. ... Well, congratulations." Prince An stroked his beard and smiled: "Then I am relieved."

"Thank you, my lord." Chu Li said, "This time the envoy was killed, it's because our government didn't think well, and we should send a few experts from heaven and earth to escort him."

What he meant was that Prince An should send a few experts from heaven and earth to escort him.

He secretly lamented that the fate of the second young lady was really bad, and Wang An just didn't meet Xiao Qi to show her original shape.

Prince An waved his hand and said: "I can't blame you for this matter. The Duke's Mansion will never kill the envoy of the Prince's Mansion. If you don't want to, just say it. I will never force you!"

Chu Li smiled and said: "The prince is well-known, and everyone in my house is very happy to be able to marry him, and everyone is unwilling!"

Prince An's words are heartbreaking, it seems that the Yiguo government is unwilling to this marriage and wants to kill the envoy of the palace to prevent the marriage, of course he can't admit this.

Prince An stroked his beard and chin: "Then I don't worry about it. I have never tried to force others to do things that are difficult for me. The second lady is very beautiful. I am very happy to be able to enter the palace."

"Thank you, my lord." Chu Li cupped his fists.

"Tie Ying's letter said that the murderer was Ren Guogong's mansion?" Prince An said indifferently.

Chu Li said: "Yes, they originally wanted to put the blame on Duke Huaiguo's mansion. It happened that a guard in this mansion recognized a killer who was an enshrinement of Duke Renguo's mansion."

"What a coincidence." Prince An smiled.

Chu Li nodded: "Man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. If Duke Huaiguo's government suffers this kind of injustice, it can't be said that its vitality will be seriously injured."

"Isn't Renguo's mansion going to marry Huaiguo's mansion? Why do you do that?"

"One mountain and two tigers, there must be a competition."

"Sigh..., I've put all my thoughts into this, no wonder people in the martial arts world keep making trouble." Prince An stroked his beard, shook his head, and sighed, "They all forgot the original intention of the establishment of the Duke's Mansion!"

"People in the martial arts world can't blame the Duke's Mansion for causing chaos," Chu Li shook his head, and said seriously: "These city guards rely on their power to exploit the common people and act mischievously. Bloody people can't bear it."

Wang An frowned: "Have you exaggerated?"

Chu Li said: "This time the guard of Cangliang City was assassinated, presumably the court already knew that it was the hands of the enshrined servants of Duke Huaiguo's mansion."

"The two heroes of the Wang family." Wang An said lightly.

Chu Lidao: "As the priests of the Duke's Mansion, they know the severity, and the city guards cannot kill them, but why do they still know that there are tigers in the mountains, so they prefer to go to the mountains? It's unbearable!... And they are like this. What about people?"

Wang An stroked his beard and smiled: "Listen to this, you seem to be on the side of the martial arts?"

Chu Li said sternly: "On the contrary, I am worried about the court. If this continues, the great season will be unstable... As a prince, the prince should understand the truth that water can carry a boat and it can also overturn it. The people's grievances are boiling. Can it not be messed up!"

"Then what can you do?" Wang An smiled disapprovingly while Furan.

The government is like a furnace, and the people are like iron. Those ants can't make any big troubles.

Chu Lidao: "Equal power, the power of the city guard is too great, the governor has become a display, and often colludes, deceiving the upper and lower, if the power of the governor can be increased, and can compete with the city guard, it will be difficult to collude and link up, and it will be more conducive to the imperial court's control .”

"Hmm..." Wang An was thoughtful.

Chu Li has another trump card that he doesn't want to bring up, which is to add another person to decentralize power.

As soon as this proposal is made, the official position will naturally increase. All the officials in the world should thank the person who proposed it. He didn't want King An to get the credit.

"Of course, this is just a villain's superficial opinion. If you don't come into the eyes of the Fang family, please don't laugh at me, my lord." Chu Li said.

King An stroked his beard and waved his hands, "As expected of a second-rank bodyguard, he has good knowledge."

The officials in the court can look down at the world from such a condescending height. As a bodyguard, Chu Li has such insight, which is truly extraordinary and commendable.

This life is similar to the Tang Dynasty in the previous life. For tens of thousands of years, the political system has been stable. Chu Li came from the present world, and the dynasties changed more frequently than in this world. The crystallization of wisdom accumulated in history was picked up by Chu Li unconsciously. , but here he appears to be well-informed and extraordinary.

"This time I sent people over, one is to teach the second lady the rules in the palace, so as not to make a joke when she enters the mansion." Wang An smiled and said: "The second is to set the date of marriage. , the best time for a big wedding next year."

"March next year?" Chu Li pondered.

It's only September now, and there are still six months to go before March. It's inevitable that there will be long nights and dreams after half a year.

It turned out that the queen was satisfied with Xiao Shi, and King An had to marry him, so he had to resort to secret methods.

He raised his head and glanced at King An, furious, wishing he could slap him to death.

Dao is one foot tall and devil is ten feet higher, evil always overwhelms righteousness, people's hearts are so vicious, no matter how indifferent Xiao Shi is, his heart is still pure, if he really enters the palace, he is really like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

Compared with King An, Xiao Shi wanted to sacrifice herself to let the Duke's mansion breathe a sigh of relief, how naive and ridiculous, how stupid, ridiculous and sad!

Thinking of this, Chu Li became even more angry.

Under the wisdom of Da Yuan Jing, no matter how big the anger is, it will be suppressed and the mind will be calm.

"Is the prince feeling unwell?" Chu Li expressed concern, with a sincere and sincere tone: "I don't think the prince's complexion is very good."

King An's complexion was scorched and sick. He was a master of heaven and earth. Chu Li had already seen through Dayuan Jingzhi that there were two auras entangled in his body.

Wang An was always using his mind to fight against this internal force, and he couldn't get rid of it.

Prince An waved his hand and said, "A little injury is fine, how will Tie Ying deal with this matter?"

Chu Li smiled: "I was only ordered to deliver the letter, and I don't know the rest."

Prince An said: "I will reply to Tie Ying's letter and send a few more people there. You should go back first."

Chu Li said: "Yes, then I will leave!"

Prince An stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, holding up the celadon teacup.

Chu Li clasped his fists and left.

He turned around and went back to the small courtyard before, he was in no hurry to leave, the opportunity was rare, he wanted to see more of the reality of the palace, and find a way to kill King An.

King An is not dead, Xiao Shi cannot escape, he has no choice.

Although the palace is big, Prince An spends most of his time in the study, reading books, meditating to adjust his breath, and suppressing the abnormal energy in his body. Chu Li can see the flow of his mind through the big round mirror.

The mental method practiced by the royal family is top secret and has not been handed down to the world. Chu Li tried to use King An's mental method to try to find out the weakness.
