White-Robed Chief

Chapter 980 Seeking Each Other (Three More)

Chu Li rolled his eyes and squinted at Qiao San: "It's rare to be loyal."

Qiao San snorted and said: "What is the status of the son, even though you are a high-ranking chief of Chu, you can't talk to the son like this!"

Chu Li said: "What grade is he?"

"Grade is not everything." Qiao San snorted.

Chu Li chuckled, turned his head to look at Leng Tao: "Your Majesty Tao, it seems that you, a guard, don't pay that much attention to grades. You are really brave, I admire you!"

Leng Tao coughed lightly, "swish" the folding fan away, shook it a few times and said, "People in the martial arts don't pay that much attention to rank, what they value is blood, and I am the authentic royal blood!"

"It's a pity that you failed to inherit the excellence of the emperor." Chu Li shook his head and said, "It's a pity for the wine bag and rice bag!"

"Chu, you're already like this, so what are you proud of!" Leng Tao finally couldn't pretend anymore, and simply tore his face directly, anyway, he was going to guard the imperial tomb, and there was no need to worry about it, and he would never see each other again in the future.

Chu Li said: "It's a good job for me to guard the imperial tomb."

"Haha, good job!" Leng Tao smiled disdainfully: "You really know how to comfort yourself, it's good job!"

Chu Li said with a smile: "You can concentrate on practicing martial arts, which is no different from retreating."

"It's a retreat, but what you're closing is a death test!" Leng Tao curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Once you enter the imperial tomb, you won't be able to get out. No matter how strong your martial arts are, it's useless. Sad or not sad?"

"I believe the emperor will call me back." Chu Li said.

"It's ridiculous, you deceived the emperor, and you were charged with such a crime. Even if the new emperor came to the throne, he would not dare to use you." Leng Tao squinted at him, shook his head and said: "The emperor's grandfather hates you very much, and he will never let you go." You come out!"

"Who can see what the future holds?"

"Stubborn!" Leng Tao said disdainfully: "Your proud days are over, and being in the imperial mausoleum is very boring, let's see if you can bear it!"

Chu Li smiled.

Xiao Shi's complexion was not good-looking, and Xiao Qi's face also darkened.

Leng Tao cupped his fists and said, "Third Aunt, I'll take my leave first!"

Xiao Shi said coldly: "Leng Tao, is what you said true?"

Leng Tao said with a smile: "Anyway, Chief Manager Chu is finished, Third Aunt also needs to make preparations, arrange it properly, and make plans early!"

After he finished speaking, 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 girls looked worried, and smiled: "Don't bother with 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 a cold palace, and there would never be a bright future.

Xiao Qi pondered and said: "It seems that getting in is easy and getting out is difficult, you have to be careful."

Chu Li nodded.

The four of them returned to Prince An's mansion in a somewhat dispirited manner. As soon as they reached the gate, the external manager, Mr. Chu, ran over and said in a low voice: "Princess, Chief Manager, Lord Jing is waiting in the mansion. He has been here for half an hour!"

Chu Li nodded: "I'll go there right away."

Xiao Shi and Xiao Qi went directly to the mansion and returned to Tianshuyuan, while Chu Li came to the hall.

The hall was brightly lit. King Jing was wearing a purple robe and was sitting in the grand master's chair reading a book. His expression was focused and serious, with a hint of majesty.

The sound of footsteps from outside interrupted him. He put down the scroll and looked, and saw that it was Chu Li who came in with fists in his hands, so he stood up and clasped his fists.

"Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time, please forgive me!" Chu Li clasped his fists and sat opposite King Jing.

A handsome maid served the teacup and stepped back lightly.

Chu Li took a sip of tea and put down the cup: "My lord came to the palace in person, what can I tell you?"

It was the first time he saw King Jing in Prince An's Mansion, and King Jing had hardly been to Prince An's Mansion.

King Jing sighed: "I heard the imperial decree, Mr. Chu, are you really going to guard the imperial tomb?"

"The emperor's imperial decree has been issued, and I cannot disobey it!" Chu Li nodded.

King Jing frowned and looked at him: "What is it that made Emperor Father so angry?"

Chu Li said: "I found out the mastermind who assassinated Princess Ping, and then told King Ping about the mastermind."

"Who is the mastermind?" King Jing said in a deep voice, "It can't be me, can it?"

Many people outside have rumored that he sent someone to assassinate the concubine, just to affect King Ping's mood and make him so upset that he could no longer lead the army to fight.

"It's not the prince." Chu Li shook his head, "It's the Dazheng Xuanji Pavilion."

"Da Zheng?!" King Jing said incredulously, "How could it be them? Isn't it the Holy Sect of Light?"

Shaking his head: "Xuanji Pavilion has hidden chess pieces in the Holy Cult of Light. When it is activated at a critical moment, everyone thinks it is the Holy Cult of Light."

King Jing gritted his teeth and said with a sneer, "What a ruthless Xuanji Pavilion!"

This trick was so vicious that it was hard for anyone to think of them. Everyone speculated that the murderer was either Dali Guangming Sacred Cult or him.

Chu Li sighed.

King Jing said: "I heard the news that the fourth brother is going to give up his military power. He was hit by the assassination of the princess. He was discouraged and refused to go back to the border. He will live in seclusion and ignore world affairs. It is said that he will also guard the imperial tomb!"

Chu Li looked at him in surprise, he never expected King Ping to act so resolutely that he would give up his military power directly, and what's more, he was going to guard the imperial tomb.

"Speaking of which, fourth brother is indeed pitiful, fourth sister-in-law is the most innocent, Xuanji Pavilion deserves to die!" King Jing said at the end, his face darkened, he gritted his teeth, and his voice was cold and murderous.

When he thought of his concubine being assassinated, he felt chills all over his body, his heart beat faster, and he couldn't imagine how painful it would be.

Xuanji Pavilion's move was too vicious to be tolerated.

"The emperor promised King Ping to guard the imperial tomb?"

"How is that possible!" King Jing shook his head and smiled wryly: "After hearing the emperor's imperial decree, this king suddenly understands that the fourth brother is probably fighting against the emperor, and he must have pleaded for you but failed, so he said so."

Chu Li nodded slowly: "If King Ping doesn't intercede for me, the emperor may kill me directly. In order to hide the news, the emperor sent Commander Xu to the imperial mausoleum, thinking that I didn't know the mastermind, but King Ping sent someone to ask me , I really can't bear to lie, I told the truth."

King Jing sighed: "Boss Chu, you are also a man of temperament!"

He could guess Chu Li's situation at that time. Once he violated his father's intention and revealed the real culprit, he would be killed. Chu Li leaked it, and it was a fluke to guard the imperial tomb.

If the fourth brother hadn't pleaded for mercy, Chu Li would have died according to his father's temper!

Chu Li said: "I can't change my temper, and if a cultivator betrays his own heart, it will be difficult to achieve consummation."

"Thank you on behalf of the fourth brother!" King Jing clasped his fists.

Chu Li smiled and said, "Your Highness is relieved, right?"

King Jing smiled wryly: "I didn't expect the fourth brother to be like this, but the loss of the fourth brother at the border is really worrying."

Chu Li smiled without saying a word.

King Jing's words had a deep meaning. Obviously, he was not worried about Dali, but that King Ping's men would not be convinced, and the army's morale was unstable and difficult to control.

King Ping's prestige in the army was too deep, so he left suddenly without saying a word, how could those subordinates feel at ease, maybe they would think that the emperor forcibly took King Ping's military power and would not be convinced.

King Jing took a sip of the teacup, bowed his head and did not speak.

Chu Li smiled and said: "If King Ping comes to see me, I will mention something, please write a letter to your subordinates."

"It's so good!" King Jing stood up and bowed solemnly with his fists in his hands.

Chu Li waved his hand: "My lord, you are welcome."
