Chapter 87 Inside Story

As the sun sets, the afterglow spreads over the lake.

As soon as Chu Li returned to East Garden, Suru arrived and took him to Yuqi Island.

As soon as he arrived downstairs, he heard the sound of Cong Cong's zither, the sound was intense, and there was a hint of murderous intent.

He turned to look at Suru.

Suru sighed, and said in a low voice: "Miss had a quarrel with Eldest Young Master."

"because I?"

"Yeah." Suru said in a low voice, "Eldest Young Master is very upset."

Chu Li smiled, guessed something, and then looked at her with a big round mirror to understand what happened.

Gu Litong was expelled from the mansion by the Eldest Prince himself, and his criterion for employing people is to have both ability and integrity, and he would never employ someone without virtue.

According to him, since Gu Litong was expelled from the mansion, he is no longer a member of the Duke's mansion, and he is at his mercy. Besides, the Duke of Ren's mansion is not just killing him or recruiting him, so there is no need to worry about it.

Chu Li led people to kill twenty guards of Duke Renguo's mansion, and when the news spread to the mansion, the eldest son was furious.

That lunatic Lu Yurong will not mess with her if she doesn't provoke them. Duke Ren's mansion is powerful and cannot be stopped by Yi Guo's mansion. We should try our best to avoid conflicts and recuperate. This time, it's a good time to take the initiative to attack. That woman Lu Yurong will definitely retaliate crazily. Twenty people died in Renguo's mansion, and they wanted to kill at least forty!

This time Xiao Qi ordered without authorization, ignoring his authority, lawless!

The eldest son originally wanted to deal with him, but Xiao Qi disagreed, and the two quarreled.

Xiao Qi scolded the eldest son for being pedantic, and that woman Lu Yurong pushes every inch of her head, she doesn't know what is enough and enough is enough, it's ridiculous to be friendly with this kind of woman.

Yi Guogong's mansion must not compromise, only after hurting Lu Yurong can there be peace at all. Now the morale of the guards in the mansion is bad, and the situation is not good.

Xiao Qi is in charge of the house, clearing up the ethos in the mansion, and the eldest prince is in charge of the outside, mobilizing guards.

Xiao Qi saw that the Duke's Mansion was being restrained everywhere, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so she made this move.

Suru lowered her voice: "Be careful, miss is not happy!"

Chu Li said: "It's okay?"

Suru waved her hands and said with a smile: "The two of them didn't quarrel once or twice, once in a few days, it will be fine in two days, but you have to avoid the eldest son!"

"It just so happens that I want to concentrate on practicing the Vajra Duering Divine Art."

"Well, it's best not to come out in the small courtyard."

"no problem."

The two stepped into the Star Observatory and came to the third floor.

Xiao Qi faced the window, with her back to them, sitting in front of the Xuan table and playing the piano. The graceful and graceful back made Chu Li's heart skip a beat.

"Miss." Suru called softly, "Chu Li is here."

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, Xiao Qi turned around, her beautiful face was clear and cold.

She pointed to the moon-white futon opposite with her slender hand.

Chu Li walked over and sat down on the futon, watching him quietly.

The faint fragrance from her body wafted into her nose, which was refreshing, and she stared at him with clear eyes: "You did a good job this time."

"It's very dangerous. Lu Yurong has arranged four groups of people."

Xiao Qi shook her head lightly: "She is full of wit and tricks, she is really difficult to deal with."

"The government of Renguo has infiltrated us too much." Chu Li mused, "Almost all the way to Jinghai has been infiltrated, which is shocking!"

Xiao Qi lowered her jade face.

Chu Li said: "Once something happens, they can intercept our communication, so we must guard against it!"

Xiao Qi's eyes flickered.

Chu Li sighed: "Jinghai Road has almost become their back garden. This is only Jinghai Road, and the other roads in the mansion may not be optimistic!"

There are 12 roads in the world, each mansion guards one road, and each road is divided into six branch roads, and they pass through the Jinghai branch road.

Suru tugged at his sleeve.

Chu Li pretended not to see it, and continued: "At this level, our guards are not safe at all. If it spreads out, I'm afraid people's hearts will fluctuate, and the consequences will be unpredictable!"

Xiao Qiyu's face became more and more gloomy.

Suru whispered: "Stop talking!"

Chu Li didn't seem to hear it, and continued: "Miss, if this goes on, the Duke's Mansion will be useless and will be slaughtered by others!"

"Shut up!" Xiao Qi snorted.

Chu Li looked at her quietly.

With a gloomy face, Xiao Qi said coldly: "I didn't expect the situation to be so severe!"

Suru said: "Miss, it's not that serious, is it?"

Chu Li sighed at her: "It's more serious than what I said. Think about it, when Miss travels, they can assassinate whenever they want, how terrible it is!"

"The guards around Miss are enough to deal with it." Suru snorted.

Chu Li shook his head: "Ten people can handle it, a hundred people can handle it, what about two hundred? They can mobilize people at will without being noticed by us, and treat our mansion as their own mansion!"

Suru stopped talking.

Xiao Qi sighed for a long time and shook her head.

Chu Li didn't say any more, it was useless.

"Where's Gu Litong?" Suru changed the subject.

Chu Li said: "We have arrived in Jinghai City."

"It's hard for him to come back." Xiao Qi frowned and said, "Brother won't let him."

"Actually, he is a useful talent, why don't you take him under your command?"

"Insufficient character, embarrassing responsibility." Xiao Qi said.

Chu Li sighed, "It's a pity."

He can use Gu Litong, he has the wisdom of a big circle mirror, he can see his mind at any time, he can see it when there is a slight change, and he can beat him at any time, besides, Gu Litong also has a fatal weakness, if he catches him, he dares to betray his heart.

"Observe for a while first." Xiao Qi pondered: "If you perform well, then transfer over."

Chu Li smiled.

Xiao Qi also has the ability to penetrate people's hearts, dare to use him.

It is precisely because she has such ability that she knows that observing people's minds, having both ability and political integrity is too demanding, and she is tolerant and tolerant, which is different from the eldest son Ya'an's arrogance, and the two have conflicting styles of behavior.

Xiao Qi looked at him quietly: "Chu Li, you did a good job this time, it's a pity that you can't ask for credit."

Chu Li smiled and said, "Miss, what are you talking about?"

Xiao Qi said: "Stay in the mansion and don't go out. There is Daleiyin Temple and Renguo Mansion. Lu Yurong will retaliate wildly!"

"Well, I'll stay in the mansion to practice."

"Second sister will go to Jinghai City to celebrate her birthday next month." Xiao Qi frowned and said, "You can follow."

"Jinghai City?" Chu Li frowned.

Suru hurriedly said: "Miss, is it too dangerous?"

Daleiyin Temple and Renguo Mansion are going to clean him up, wouldn't he be sent to death if he goes out?

Xiao Qi said: "Within one month, I have practiced the Vajra Era Divine Kungfu to the third level, and with the fact that I am so close to the world, I also have the power to protect myself!"

Although she doesn't practice the Vajra Duering Divine Kungfu, she knows the changes of each level. When she reaches the third level, she can hardly be hurt by a sword, and most of her internal energy can be removed. Plus she is so close to the world, it is enough to protect herself.

Chu Li showed distress: "The third floor..., I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

"In short, you can figure it out." Xiao Qi said lightly.

Chu Li saw a painting on the case, and said with a smile, "Is this Miss's masterpiece?"

Xiao Qi picked up the drawing paper and handed it to him.

There is a painting of a tiger descending the mountain, so imposing, it seems that it will jump out of the painting at any time.

Chu Li sighed: "What a strong evil spirit!"

With a thought in his heart, he faintly felt that this painting was beneficial to the human body, and he could get the spirit from watching the tiger, which would help to practice the white tiger's alchemy of yang.

"It's far away." Xiao Qi said: "Only after seeing Lu Boyuan's paintings do I know what evil spirit is."

Chu Li said: "Miss, do you have paintings by Lu Boyuan?"

Lu Boyuan, a master of Danqing in the former dynasty, is especially good at painting tigers. Others paint tigers with skin, flesh and bones, but he paints tigers with spirit and spirit.

"How many pictures do you want to see?"

"Can I get to know you?"

"Xiao Ru, you can send it to him later." Xiao Qi said, "Enjoy it for a month."

"Thank you miss!" Chu Li was overjoyed.

Xiao Qi waved her hands.

Chu Li bid farewell and left.

He returned to the small courtyard of Yuqi Island, opened the door and went in. The setting sun made the small courtyard red. Dressed in a moon-white dress, Xueling practiced the Eight Taiyin Forms slowly and softly. When she heard the voice, she turned her head, her clear and beautiful face showing surprise.

Chu Li said: "What are you doing with your eyes so wide!"

Xue Ling hurriedly stopped her: "My lord, when did you come back?"

"Just came back." Chu Li entered the living room.

Xueling followed in: "Haven't you eaten yet?"

"Yeah." Chu Li lazily sat in the grand master's chair, and heaved a long sigh of relief. The pursuit and escape all the way was exhausting, and he could completely relax now.

Xueling got busy, with quick hands and feet, quickly made tea and served it, and then went to cook.

After Chu Li finished drinking a cup of tea, Xue Ling had already made four side dishes, brought them up, took another jug ​​of fine wine, and filled him a cup: "My lord, fill your stomach first, and I'll make it for supper at night. "

Chu Li sniffed the tempting aroma, nodded in satisfaction, held the vegetables, drank the wine, and listened to Xue Ling talk about the major events that happened in the mansion these days.

"Zhi..." The courtyard door was pushed open, and Suru came in.

She was holding a long box with a purple luster, seeing Chu Li eating food with a satisfied face, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Blessed enough!...painting!"

Chu Li put down the wine glass and stepped forward to take it.

Suru handed it to him: "There are ten paintings by Lu Boyuan here, you have to be careful not to damage them, the lady is very precious, if you didn't make a contribution this time, the lady would not be willing to take it out!"

Chu Li smiled openly, stroking the long purple box: "Of course, of course!"
