White-Robed Chief

Chapter 993 Arrival (One More)

After killing all the assassins around, the three of them could only change to another place to settle down again.

A bonfire was lit in another part of the woods, and the three of them sat by the bonfire.

Both Lu Yurong and Xiao Qi took off their white gauzes, one jade face is full of charm, the other is pure and beautiful, the two women are good at autumn, it is hard to tell the difference, the surrounding air has become much fresher.

"Prince Ping let go of the military power, and I heard that you were there to persuade him." Lu Yurong threw a piece of firewood into it, clapped her jade hands, and looked at Chu Li with her phoenix eyes.

Chu Li sat opposite her: "Who said that?"

"What do you think!" Lu Yurong said.

Chu Li pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "It's none of my business, it's King Ping who is disheartened and doesn't want to fight on the border anymore, he's tired of it...killed so many Dali cavalry, protected Daji comprehensively, but If he can't protect Madam, his heart is cold."

"Could it be that you blame the emperor?" Lu Yurong smiled half a smile.

"A little bit." Chu Li said.

The emperor can protect the princes well, but he doesn't care about the life and death of the princess, and the princess who guards the frontier and is not by her side needs someone to protect, but the emperor can't protect her.

How could King Ping not complain in his heart! If he doesn't express his resentment, it must be buried in his heart, but he is more energetic, leaving hidden dangers, and when he shows it, the emperor is relieved.

Lu Yurong said: "So the emperor threw the deputy commander of the Secret Guard Mansion into the imperial tomb, and also threw you, the centurion, into the imperial tomb?"

Chu Li glanced at her and said nothing.

Lu Yurong chuckled lightly: "Or is it because you meddled and your conscience was still alive, that you ended up like this?"

"You know why you need to ask more!" Chu Li snorted.

"See if you're lying or not!" Lu Yurong said with a smile, "At last you didn't fool me, but you've gotten to this point, it's really miserable, you've lost your martial arts and sent you to the imperial mausoleum, and there's no hope of returning to the capital. Life is over!"

Chu Li nodded: "Yes, this life is over."

"But I think you're quite calm." Lu Yurong looked him up and down.

She originally thought that Chu Li would lose his soul, and his confidence would not be born out of thin air. It was based on his strength. Chu Li's high spirits were rooted in his martial arts. If he lost his martial arts, he would naturally lack confidence.

Unexpectedly, Chu Li was still in high spirits, without the slightest sign of downfall.

She couldn't help admiring that the man was in a difficult situation, and he could still calm down and remain unmoved. This is the real courage. She has always admired Chu Li's grandeur, which is far beyond her reach.

Chu Li said: "My martial arts are gone, and my wisdom is enough to live a carefree life!"

"Hehehe!" Lu Yurong laughed coquettishly: "You are free and unrestrained, you think beautifully!"

Chu Li shook his head and said nothing.

Xiao Qi said lightly: "Lu Yurong, what do you know?"

"Hey, Miss Xiao San is worried?" Lu Yurong looked at her with a smile: "I just don't say anything!"

Xiao Qi frowned: "Is there going to be trouble at the Imperial Tomb?"

Lu Yurong smiled but wasn't smiling.

Chu Li said: "Master Jing, are you relieved this time?"

Lu Yurong pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Prince Ping's move may not be based on retreat."

Chu Li sighed secretly, Bingxue was really smart, and said lightly: "Anyway, I took a step back, King Jing can take this opportunity to infiltrate the army, Miss Lu, you are also very busy, and you have time to come and see me lively?"

"No rush." ​​The corners of Lu Yurong's snow-white and delicate mouth curled up slightly.

She saw King Jing's hope of enthroning, and she was excited, but when her biggest opponent was unlucky, of course she had to come over and show off.

Xiao Qi said: "There are still ten years. Ten years is fast, and sometimes it is very slow. Who knows what will happen!"

She said calmly: "Chu Li has practiced martial arts for less than two years, and it will be faster to come back after practicing. Besides, it's not that difficult for me to go to Qingluya to get a rejuvenation pill."

No matter how indifferent she is, if she doesn't strive for strength, she will never see Lu Yurong being so proud, especially when Chu Li is frustrated, it's like adding salt to the wound, and Chu Li will suffer even more.

Lu Yurong's complexion changed slightly, thinking of Xiao Yueling, she couldn't help snorting: "Wugong is for the emperor to see, and it will recover soon, how about playing with the emperor?"

Chu Li smiled and said, "Miss Lu, although I can't help King Jing succeed, it's still easy to ruin King Jing."

Lu Yurong narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly.

Chu Li and her stared at each other, both of them had fire in their pupils.

Chu Li suddenly looked to the left, and raised his voice, "Fayuan, since you're here, let's come out and see you."

"Amitabha..." A Buddha's name sounded, peaceful and quiet, and slowly spread into the ears of the three.

With fluttering gray monk robes, Fayuan came to the bonfire to tithe: "Brother Chu, two female benefactors."

Chu Li smiled and said, "Fa Yuan, did you come to see my joke?"

Fayuan smiled and said, "The world is impermanent, I never thought Brother Chu would have such a day."

"The world is unpredictable, and I never expected to see you, Fayuan, under such circumstances." Chu Li said with a smile.

Lu Yurong snorted, "Monk, why are you here to join in the fun?"

Fayuan smiled: "If benefactor Lu can come, why can't the little monk come?"

"It's just some young people, vulnerable to a single blow." Chu Li said with a smile, "Don't bother you."

"Brother Chu, it would be a great disgrace if he was hurt by Xiaoxiao's generation." Fa Yuan shook his head.

Lu Yurong snorted and said, "Monk, you and Chu Li are called "double prides", so it seems that your reputation will be weakened?"

Fayuan smiled and said nothing.

Xiao Qi said: "Master Fayuan, do you know the reality of the imperial mausoleum?"

"The inner mausoleum, the outer mausoleum, and the attached city." Fa Yuan said with his jaw lowered, "Brother Chu has abolished his martial arts, and he will enter the small town next to the imperial mausoleum to serve as an errand in the city."

Lu Yurong snorted and said, "I'm following King Jing's order this time, and I'm going to inform the city guard to take care of Chu Li and give you a job, are you satisfied?"

"Thank you, Lord Jing." Chu Li clasped his fists together.

Lu Yurong rolled his eyes at him.

Fa Yuan said: "The errands in the city are sent to guard the imperial tomb, some residents are from the outer tomb, some are family members from the inner tomb, the small city is still very safe, don't worry."

Xiao Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Li said: "Hurry up as soon as possible tomorrow, and arrive at Fucheng earlier."

He chatted some gossips with Fayuan, inquired about the Ksitigarbha's Running Wheel Sutra, and wanted to ask if there was any way to restrain it.

Fayuan shook his head, the traditions of Zhuanlun Temple are completely different from those of Jingang Temple and Daleiyin Temple, and the Dizang Shunlun Sutra has always been mysterious, he really doesn't know how to restrain it.

For the next two days, the road was very quiet, as if the assassins saw how many people there were, they didn't dare to come again, and left wisely.

At noon on the third day, they came to a small town, about the size of Qingyun City, and it was very lively with people coming and going.

The four of them went directly to the Chengshou Mansion.

The city guard's mansion is located in the center of the city. It looks very shabby, dilapidated, and has nothing to do with magnificence, and the security is lax. There are only two guards guarding the gate, and there are no other guards in the mansion.

Chang Gui was short and fat, sitting in the grand teacher's chair in the hall of the city guard's mansion, smiling, he didn't have the majesty of a city guard at all.

Chang Gui looked Chu Li up and down: "Chu Li, Chief Manager Chu, I also heard your name here."

Chu Li clasped his fists together.

"How about this, you have no martial arts and are useless, so just sweep a street." Chang Gui said with a smile.
