Chapter 48 Chapter 48
Before Zhang Yuanqing retreated.

Hill hut.

"My lord, I don't know what to call Xiao Wang to come here?"

Chi Li stood outside the door respectfully, without Zhang Yuanqing's instructions, he did not dare to step into the room at all.

The door opened automatically without wind.

"The drug lord can come in and talk."

Chi Li lifted his foot and walked in.

"sit."

Zhang Yuanqing sat in front of the table, and stretched out his hand to signal Chi Li to sit down.

"Poison Lord has aged a lot these years, presumably he has worked hard for the Wandu Cave?"

Chi Li felt like sitting on pins and needles, he couldn't figure out the meaning behind Zhang Yuanqing's words for a while, so he just nodded in agreement: "Don't dare, it's all just worrying about it."

"Not really."

Zhang Yuanqing said suddenly, his eyes were cold, as if a sharp sword pierced into his heart.

Chi Li suddenly felt like a thorn in his back, wondering if Zhang Yuanqing had discovered something, and was speechless for a long time.

"Haha, don't be nervous, there are only you and me here, what you say today can come out of my mouth and into your ears... that's all."

Zhang Yuanqing poured wine for Chi Li with a smile, but who knew that what he said next would directly make Chi Li's soul explode.

"Dugong these years, has the research on the God of Soldiers and Monsters been going well?"

Chi Li couldn't sit still for a while, so she stood up, and then knelt down in front of Zhang Yuanqing with a plop.

"Forgive me, my lord. Xiao Wang is only for the sake of the commander... no, for the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, this... this is..."

Zhang Yuanqing walked over to hold Chi Li's arm, and pushed him back to the seat.

"Don't be nervous, what we said today, if we go out of this door, no one will recognize it, what do you think?"

What do you mean?

Chi Li couldn't figure out what Zhang Yuanqing meant, why did he hear this...somewhat outrageous?
Chi Li lowered his head and seemed to be looking at the wine in the bowl, but secretly observed the changes in Zhang Yuanqing's expression. Seeing that he was indeed as he said, he was slightly relieved.

Asked tentatively: "My lord stays at home, how did he know about Xiao Wang?"

Zhang Yuanqing chuckled, raised his head, looked directly into Chi Li's eyes, and said, "My Gu is all over Raojiang."

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky exploded in Chi Li's mind, and there was a faint tinnitus.

"Hahahaha, it scares you. I lied to you. Why do you take it seriously?"

"Come on, have a drink."

A bowl of wine was unknowingly downed, and Chi Li didn't even know what it was like to drink it into his mouth.

Although Zhang Yuanqing laughed and defended what he said just now, Chi Li just didn't believe it, and the more he thought about it, the colder he felt all over his body.

This man is horrible.

At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing's fear in Chi Li's heart went straight to Yuan Tiangang.

Zhang Yuanqing said again: "Duke Poison's research has not been going well these years, I think it's because the king of the king is unwilling to hand over the secret scroll of insect voodoo, so even if you refine the altar of soldiers, gods and monsters, you can't completely control it, right? "

"But you know that I forced the two of you to hand over the second volume of poisonous insects in the Gods and Monsters Altar, and you would rather hide and study secretly than come to me. Do you have a second heart for the commander?"

Zhang Yuanqing's words directly manipulated Chi Li's psychology to death.

It was as if his heart had been plucked out of his chest with a knife, torn apart, and then exposed to the sun, making all thoughts invisible.

Even though Chi Li thought so, how dare he admit it.

"Your Excellency, Xiao Wang dare not."

"No, I dare not..."

Zhang Yuanqing pointed out something, raised a smile, and watched Chi Li's performance lightly.

"Okay, don't pretend to be Chi Li, I don't know who you are? Speaking of which, we are the same people."

Zhang Yuanqing took out a piece of jade from his bosom, held it in his hand, and placed it in front of Chi Li.

Then, the internal force was stimulated, and the words "bad person" were actually carved on the inside of the jade.

In an instant, Chi Li understood everything, looked at Zhang Yuanqing as if seeing a ghost, opened his mouth wide and was at a loss.

"you you…"

"I lied to you, you brothers, isn't it obvious enough?"

A narrow smile appeared in Zhang Yuanqing's eyes, and he gently squeezed the jade into powder with five fingers.

After pouring the wine, Zhang Yuanqing continued: "Actually, I betrayed Yuan Tiangang a long time ago."

"Do you know that the commander-in-chief will not let you go, let him know that even if you hide in the ends of the earth, he will..."

Zhang Yuanqing said, "He won't."

"He can't come. The situation in the Central Plains is in turmoil. He is already at his wits end. How can he have time to manage the ups and downs in Raojiang? Why do you think you have been safe and sound all these years?"

Chi Li was silent for a long time.

"So you want the Altar of Soldiers and Monsters?"

"good."

Zhang Yuanqing picked up the wine bowl and clinked glasses with Chi Li, and the two drank together.

Putting down the wine bowl, Chi Li said, "But the Wandu Cave is not my word, and my younger brother will not agree to it, and will definitely obstruct it in every possible way."

Zhang Yuanqing suddenly burst into laughter, pointing at Chi Li and laughing non-stop.

"Chi Li, Chi Li, these years there have been constant disputes between the poisonous worms in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, and it was you who planned it all by yourself. Since you have a countermeasure in mind, why bother to pretend to me."

"I…"

Chi Li was at a loss for words for a moment, at this moment he could no longer defend himself.

I heard Zhang Yuanqing say again: "Nowadays, there are already many of your people in the various villages in Raojiang, and you have almost worn out your patience with Chi Li. It's almost time to turn your face."

"You're waiting for an opportunity, I guess... you're waiting for me to leave Raojiang, right?"

"good."

Chi Li went straight to the showdown and became the Lord of the Ten Thousand Poison Caves in charge of the entire Raojiang once again.

"Since your lord is like this, you must cooperate with Xiao Wang?"

Without waiting for Zhang Yuanqing to speak, Chi Li chuckled lightly, and said again: "But even if there is no master's insect art secret scroll, Xiao Wang still has a way to pry it out from my brother's mouth. It seems that the master's bargaining chip is not much, is it?"

Now that the two had a showdown, Chi Li was sure that Zhang Yuanqing would not kill him, and Zhang Yuanqing would not kill Chi Li, at least not now.

"I can help you raise people, many, many people."

There are tens of thousands of people in Raojiang, but Chi Li would not be so stupid as to use people from various villages in Raojiang to refine the Altar of Soldiers and Gods. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not do the thing of digging the Great Wall himself.

Chi Li couldn't refuse this condition.

"But how can you raise so many people, why?"

Zhang Yuanqing didn't speak, just put a token on the table.

"King Qi Order!"

Chi Li suddenly realized, and stood up straight away.

"Then... happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

"Hahahahaha, cheers!"

----

Fengxiang Mansion of Qi State.

The brother and sister reunited again after 16 years, and they didn't know where to start.

Xuan Jingtian didn't stay any longer, and silently got up to leave.

The wind is noisy, and cicadas are singing from the leaves. The noise is like two people's thoughts, chaotic and disorderly.

"Little sister, these years... how are you doing?"

Li Maozhen looked at the girl who used to be like the scorching sun and now is now a prince in charge of her own affairs, and the guilt in her heart was endless.

"I brought you a present, look..."

Li Maozhen took out the fine pens, inks, papers and inkstones carefully prepared for the empress, and laid them out one by one, but what she got in return was the empress' cold eyes.

"I do not need it anymore."

"... "

Li Maozhen sighed softly, the helplessness in her heart was beyond words.

The air is quiet again.

After a long time, Li Maozhen suddenly said, "That painting...burn it, he's back."
