Chapter 973 Seeing in Person (Fifth Watch)

"Who is it?" Xiao Shi asked curiously, seeing Chu Li put the iron plate in his arms, his face became serious, and he asked with a smile: "Are you still afraid of people?"

Chu Li frowned and nodded slowly.

Xiao Qi said softly: "What's the matter, one person is short of wit, and the three are wise, we can discuss it."

Chu Li sighed and said, "I know that the fewer people involved in this matter, the better!"

"You are so long-winded!" Xiao Shi snorted.

Chu Li said: "It's King Ping."

"Why did King Ping send someone to see you?" Xiao Shi asked puzzled, "You have nothing to do with each other, right?"

"The last time I went to the border, I formed some friendship with King Ping." Chu Li shook his head and sighed.

This time it was really troublesome.

Xiao Qi said: "Prince Ping sent someone over, could it be about Princess Ping's encounter with an assassin?"

Chu Li nodded.

Xiao Shi's beautiful face also sank, her eyebrows frowned slightly: "It's really troublesome."

Chu Li has already told them about Princess Ping's case.

They all knew that the mastermind of the assassination of Princess Ping was not Da Guangming Peak, Xu Huande also went to guard the imperial tomb because of this, but the emperor didn't want King Ping to know about it.

Once the emperor knew that Chu Li knew who the mastermind was, he would never be as light as Xu Huande, and might directly silence him.

Chu Li has been covering up to avoid getting killed.

It never occurred to King Ping to ask someone to meet him directly, apparently to ask the mastermind.

If she was wise enough to protect herself, Chu Li should hide it and say she didn't know, but she knew that according to Chu Li's temper, she probably wouldn't do that.

"You want to tell King Ping?" Xiao Qi said lightly.

Chu Li nodded slowly.

"It's only bad for you, not good at all!" Xiao Shi said angrily.

Chu Li nodded.

Of course he knew that there was no benefit, but a man whose wife was murdered came to ask the murderer, especially King Ping, who fought on the border all year round to protect the common people from being ravaged by the Dali iron cavalry, but in the end he failed to protect his wife!

Xiao Qi said: "Since you want to say it, just say it."

Chu Li smiled: "I will not have a good life in the future, and I will definitely be hated by the emperor."

"You are really stupid!" Xiao Shi shook his head and said, "The blood is not cold yet!"

Chu Li said: "If you really want to be that sensible, living is really boring!"

He has the Kurong Sutra, so he is a little more free and easy about life and death. Besides, since the emperor has murderous intentions, he can only appeal to others, and he will not do it himself, so it is not so terrible.

"Well, anyway, there are too many people who are missed by the emperor." Xiao Shi sighed helplessly.

Chu Li clasped his fists and stood up to leave.

Xiao Shi watched Chu Li leave the courtyard, withdrew her clear eyes, and glanced at Xiao Qi: "Little sister, he is willing to listen to what you say, why don't you persuade me?"

"Follow his heart." Xiao Qi said.

Xiao Shidao: "Prince Ping may not appreciate it, both sides are not happy."

"The state of mind of a martial artist is very important. If he is ashamed of himself, it will be difficult for him to achieve too high in martial arts." Xiao Qi said.

Xiao Shibai glanced at her and said, "Ask for trouble!"

Xiao Qi said: "There's no way, if he doesn't have such a heart, he is not worth relying on."

Xiao Shi thought for a while, then nodded helplessly.

——

When Chu Li came to his small courtyard, a thin young man was already standing in the courtyard, cupping his fists and saluting without saying a word.

Chu Li took out the iron plate from his arms and handed it back to him: "Go into the room and talk!"

The skinny young man was about twenty years old. He only had a high nose until Chu Li. He had dark skin, mediocre facial features, and lackluster eyes. He had no sense of vigor. He was just an ordinary person in the crowd, and no one would pay attention to him.

Chu Li led him into the living room, closed the door, and asked him to sit down, while he himself sat in the grand master's chair: "Your name?"

"The manager can just call me Xiao Xu." The skinny young man said.

Chu Li said: "Okay, Xiao Xu, what orders does the General have?"

"This is a letter from the general." Xiao Xu took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Chu Li.

Chu Li took it, opened it, glanced at it, rubbed his hands together, and turned it into powder.

Xiao Xu didn't move, and looked at Chu Li quietly.

Chu Li got up, paced with his hands behind his back, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Xiao Xu didn't rush, but just looked at him quietly.

After a while, Chu Li stopped and sighed: "Go back first, I understand, I will go to the barracks myself."

"Yes." Xiao Xu said in a deep voice, "The general is already outside Qingyun City!"

Chu Li's face darkened: "Nonsense!"

It is a serious crime for a general to leave the barracks without permission. If you take a pass, and if you take a pass, he will be a general. He can just return to his senses obediently, and there is no need to embarrass the emperor.

Xiao Xu said: "We can't persuade the general."

Chu Li sighed and nodded slowly: "The general wants to come back to see the princess?"

"Yes." Xiao Xu nodded.

Chu Li said: "Without the imperial decree, the general cannot return to the capital, let him bear it no matter what, the emperor will definitely issue an order!"

"The general can't wait." Xiao Xu shook his head.

Chu Li sighed and nodded slowly: "It's human nature!...You go back first, I will find the general myself."

"Yes." Xiao Xu clasped his fists together, turned and left.

Chu Li looked at the back of him leaving, and after a moment of contemplation, he suddenly disappeared in place.

The next moment, he appeared in a forest outside Qingyun City.

The moonlight is like water, a large thick forest is located at the foot of a mountain, more than 200 meters away from the official road, and there are few people.

Eight middle-aged men formed a circle, guarding a dark-faced old man in the middle. The old man was tall and straight, standing upright like a javelin, even sitting on a tree stump, he was still imposing.

The old man sat in front of a pile of bonfires, silently staring at the leaping flames in a daze, dazed, the chirping of insects around him was exceptionally clear, and his fierce aura revealed desolation and sorrow.

The eight middle-aged guards are also full of evil spirits, making people daunting.

Chu Li suddenly appeared, and the eight middle-aged guards realized that they rushed towards Chu Li with a fierce aura. A Dao Sen looked over with cold eyes, his eyes were cold and heartless, and he regarded people like ants, as if he would kill him at any time.

Chu Li said in a deep voice, "My lord!"

The dark-faced old man turned his head to look over, waved his hand, and said calmly, "Let him in."

The eight middle-aged guards moved to make a gap.

Chu Li walked into the circle along the gap, came to the old man, clasped his fists to size up the dark old man, and said with a smile: "Your Highness's appearance can be deceiving, but if you really want to, you can still see it!"

King Ping nodded slowly, his eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to see through Chu Li: "You should understand my reason for coming!"

Chu Li nodded: "Yes."

He could see that King Ping was wearing a mask, which was similar to the mask of the cloud beast he had obtained, and a bit more delicate than the cloud and fog beast's face.

If it wasn't for his keen senses and the ability to see through the body, I really wouldn't dare to conclude that this is King Ping.

"What can I teach you?" King Ping's gaze became sharper, bloodshot faintly, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.

Chu Li looked at the eight middle-aged guards.

King Ping waved his hands and said, "Back down, a hundred meters away!"

"General!" A middle-aged guard said in a deep voice.

"I'm not weak." King Ping said in a deep voice, "Stand back!"

"...Yes." The eight middle-aged guards gave Chu Li a hard look, and retreated a hundred meters helplessly, forming an encirclement circle a hundred meters away.
