Zhou Li is an evolved version of the people-pleasing personality.

Crusading personality.

Tang Wan once commented on Zhou Li, saying that he had three breathing points on his body. As long as any of these three breathing points was touched, Zhou Li would instantly become Haji Li and start to breathe continuously.

First exhalation point: Second exhalation point.

The second breathing point: adaptive.

The third point of exhalation: saying that he is impotent.

Haha, that's a bit humorous, right?

It was obvious that the prime minister's attempt this time was completely a step on Zhou Li's minefield. He looked at the four people who had killed themselves, standing beside the carriage, with only a faint anger in his eyes.

play.

Show it to me.

The death of these four people proved that the prime minister controlled not only the upper-level officials and generals, but also the lower-level soldiers. At the slightest sign of trouble, these four people were willing to commit suicide to show their loyalty to the prime minister.

This is a naked show of force.

Zhou Li could see that this was not a coincidence, but something the prime minister did on purpose. His only purpose in doing this was to remind everyone that everything in the capital belonged to him.

Including soldiers and generals.

This led to Zhou Li being on high alert and on guard day and night as soon as he entered the city. No one knew that a certain vendor or peddler would suddenly draw a dagger and do everything he could to assassinate him.

Zhou Li can defend, but what about others?

Can others also defend themselves day and night?
This was an open plot, a plot to distract Zhou Li. As long as Zhou Li started to think about this, he had to devote some of his energy to protecting others, so that some of his thoughts would be diverted and he would not be able to focus on opposing the prime minister.

Looking at the line of fate that had not appeared for a long time, Zhou Li walked forward, bent down, and gently pulled it.

[The final destiny line: bring some shock to the world of immortal cultivation]

[Mr. Xiao Deng Tianshi, as a ruthless man in the world of immortal cultivation, you concealed your identity as a Tianshi and came to Daming to do things, which is a great feat that ordinary people cannot imagine. Next, what you have to do is very simple and clear.]

[Give the whole world a little Beiliang shock]

[Grasp this fate line, and you will shock the Ming Dynasty and the world of immortal cultivation as Zhou Li! ]

"Ming Dynasty, Princess Yuli, enter the capital!"

A shrill and high-pitched voice sounded from not far away. Zhou Li raised his head and saw a group of people wearing luxurious short clothes made of silk and satin, holding gold, silver and jade in their hands, slowly walking towards him around a eunuch with a white face and no beard, who was riding a tall horse.

The eunuch wore a tall hat and had an arrogant look on his face. He sat very straight on his horse.

Holding the token in his left hand and the imperial edict in his right hand, the eunuch rode slowly to Zhou Li, hung the token on his chest, then spread out the imperial edict and shouted in a high and sharp voice:

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

Zhou Li did not go to accept the imperial edict, but just looked at the eunuch coldly.

The eunuch narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhou Li and the carriage behind him, nodded meaningfully, and then asked:
"Why don't you kneel?"

"Gold medal granted by the Emperor, exempt from kneeling."

Zhou Li pulled at his robe, revealing the gold medal at his waist, and said calmly, "Just tell me, eunuch."

"Everyone who sees the imperial edict must kneel."

Looking at the carriage behind Zhou Li, the eunuch smiled and said, "Sir, please don't embarrass me."

"Well, you're embarrassed."

Zhou Li nodded, not caring about the surprise in the eunuch's eyes, and said slowly: "Go ask your master, is it my sister who should kneel to this imperial edict, or his Princess Yuli who should kneel. Or, does he think Jiang Li should kneel to him?"

"And me?"

Tang Wan poked his head out and asked curiously, "I think I have to kneel."

Zhou Li grinned, looked at the eunuch who was about to explode, and said, "She is the princess, so she doesn't have to kneel."

"There is no precedent in this dynasty."

Taking a deep breath, the eunuch said in a deep voice: "My lord, you don't have to kneel because you have the gold medal. But what official position does your sister hold? Who is the so-called Jiang Li? I only know one thing, there are only a handful of people in the Ming Dynasty who can see the imperial edict and not kneel!"

"Qianyun, do you know this eunuch?"

Zhou Li ignored the eunuch and just asked a question towards the carriage.

"never seen it."

Zhu Qianyun got off the carriage, glanced at the eunuch, and said with a smile, "He doesn't look familiar either."

"That's the eunuch from a few days ago."

Zhou Li suddenly realized.

"I am the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department! How can you say..."

Before he could finish his words, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department suddenly fell off his horse, fell to his knees trembling on the ground, prostrated himself, and lay on the ground without saying a word.

He saw a person.

"You recognize me."

Tao Yao looked at the eunuch calmly, and said indifferently, "And then you stopped my carriage?"

"Zhou... Zhou... Immortal Zhou."

Kneeling on the ground, the eunuch could hardly speak. He could only try his best to squeeze out another word from his throat, "I dare not, I dare not, I dare not."

"I remember that Gao Pang treated you well and saved you from the knife. So, is selling out your master for fame and fortune a common trait of yours?"

Taoyao's words were filled with extreme indifference.

If she hadn't recognized the eunuch's appearance and knew that he had once served Zhu Gaochi, Taoyao would not have bothered to talk to such a person.

At this time, this powerful eunuch could only kneel on the ground without saying a word, his whole body shaking like a sieve, unable to organize any words at all.

He had never thought that the immortal who had once pointed at Emperor Taizong and cursed him was still alive. As a eunuch who had once served the emperor in the palace, he naturally knew what the appearance of this woman meant.

Even with the Prime Minister's protection, she would never be able to survive if she wanted to.

It is impossible for the prime minister to fall out with the emperor because of himself.

"My Immortal, please spare my life because I once served you tea."

The eunuch kowtowed repeatedly, his forehead turning blood red.

"Sister, what are you doing out here? It's so unlucky."

Zhou Li did not hide his disdain for the eunuch at all, and said directly: "You go back first, I will take care of this."

As soon as Zhou Li opened his mouth, Tao Yao lost her previous indifference and indifference. Instead, she pulled Zhou Li's sleeve and said with concern: "Be careful and don't fall into their trap."

"I know." Zhou Li smiled and patted Tao Yao's hand.

Of course he knew.

Four soldiers died because they did not perform their duties properly.

Now that this eunuch has died, things will be difficult.

The position of the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department was very sensitive. He was not only the emperor's dog, but also had a lot of connections with the government. The "right to approve red documents" alone meant that this position was a position that enjoyed the aura of a dragon and a tiger.

If Zhou Li had killed the eunuch out of habit, his relationship with the royal family would have plummeted. But the prime minister's idea was very simple. He asked the eunuch to take the imperial edict and asked Zhou Li and his family to kneel down to receive it. It was just that simple.

But it is a complete conspiracy.

"Okay, come out."

Zhou Li sighed and said to the deserted south side of the path, "We've been watching the show for so long, it's time to get back to work."

The sound of swords being unsheathed came from somewhere. In the dimness, fish flew into the sea, and the spring scenery was beautiful. Yin Hong walked out from the darkness. The leader walked out slowly with a fake smile that made people feel cold. He held a spring sword and walked out slowly with a fake smile that made people feel cold.

Following behind him were six men in black robes, wearing hats to cover their faces, holding three swords with six blades. They just stood there, their hands on the handles of the swords that had not been unsheathed, with their eyes lowered and motionless.

The eunuch who held the seal raised his head and saw the ordinary appearance of the leading man. His pupils contracted instantly and his entire body stiffened visibly. He was trembling with fear as if he had seen an evil ghost ripping off his face.

"Why did Eunuch Yin come to this?"

The man in the flying fish suit looked at the eunuch in charge and said gently, "Kneeling like this, isn't it tarnishing the dignity of the royal family?"

The eunuch named Yin let out a weird howl, like a chicken with a blockage in its throat, and the next second he was so frightened that he couldn't breathe and fainted.

"Mr. Zhou, I apologize to you on his behalf."

After walking up slowly, the man leaned forward, bowed respectfully, and said in a gentle tone: "I am Mr. Xu, the commander of the Jinyiwei. I am very sorry for being late."

Zhou Li looked at the other party and did not speak immediately. He just smiled, then set his eyes on the unconscious eunuch and asked, "Is this what you meant?"

"No."

Xu Gong shook his head and said bluntly: "Your Majesty only asked me to come and greet you. I never thought that there would be such a filthy thing to offend you. I have failed in my duty."

"You mean, someone forged the imperial edict?"

Zhou Li glanced at Xu Gong and said with a half-smile: "That is a crime of disrespect. The whole family will be killed."

"I understand."

Xu Gong still maintained a humble attitude, and then under Zhou Li's gaze, he drew out his long knife and gently cut off the eunuch's head as if cutting tofu, and said in a gentle voice: "Yin Yu has only one father in his family. He should hang himself to death tomorrow morning. This crime of disrespect will be cleared."

Zhou Li just smiled and then said, "In this case, please ask Mr. Xu to lead us into the capital and not cause any more trouble. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Gong took a step forward, placed the embroidered spring knife in his hand on his chest, and said sincerely: "If Master Zhou does not believe my words, feel free to cut my soul to pieces with one blow."

"Mr. Xu, I'll fuck your mother!"

At this moment, a loud roar suddenly sounded from the side, and a sturdy man with a resolute face rushed out and kicked Xu Gong seven or eight meters away under the astonished gaze of Xu Gong. In an instant, the other Jinyiwei drew their long swords and stared at the sturdy man beside Zhou Li, as if they were going to rush up and hack the man to death in the next second.

"Don't move!"

Xu Gong suddenly shouted, and the Jinyiwei immediately stopped their dragon and tiger energy and continued to stay where they were like a sculpture. Xu Gong slowly stood up, holding his chest. He looked at the angry man with a long-handled armor-breaking hammer on his waist, gritted his teeth and said angrily:

"Wang Buqu! What are you going to do?!"

"Don't hurt my old friend!"

The man called Wang Buqu stood in front of Zhou Li. He stared at Xu Gong and said through gritted teeth, "Xu Gong, I miss you and I have a past. I will break your ribs and you can leave quickly. But if you want to hurt my friend, you have to step over my dead body!"

"You fool."

Lord Xu looked at Zhou Li, then at Wang Buqu, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty asked me to bring Master Zhou to the capital, why are you making trouble?"

"what?"

Wang Buqu was stunned. "Then why did the superiors give me a bandit suppression order, saying that the characteristics of the previous bandit should be changed to one that is of decent appearance, speaks in a very annoying way, carries a white-haired female pendant, and has the surname Zhou, and asked us to set up an ambush and strangle him around the capital?"

?

Xu Gong was also stunned.

This is a bit too targeted.

Zhou Li was silent.

This is me.

"Foolish boy, get back quickly."

With a sigh, Xu Gong lost his previous hypocrisy and flattery, only the unique powerlessness when facing Wang Buqu, and said: "You must have been sent out to run the post. If you don't go back and get your approval within half an hour, you will be dragged out and beheaded tomorrow. Do you think the Imperial Guards are run by your family?"

Wang Buqu was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Zhou Li behind him, feeling a little conflicted for a moment.

"Go back quickly."

Zhou Li sighed. Like Xu Gong, he had endless energy when facing many people, but he was also powerless against this strange creature with a single-threaded brain. Of course, he was also very moved. After all, Wang Buqu risked his life to "save himself". "I will come to see you when I have time after I enter Beijing."

"Then keep your word."

Wang Buqu patted Zhou Li on the shoulder and then ran away.

"Oh, this fool."

Xu Gong looked at Wang Buqu's back and said in a complicated tone, "He is the only one who could offend the commander and interfere with the Jinyiwei's affairs without permission."

"It really is."

Originally, Zhou Li and Xu Gong had a relationship of hypocrisy and confrontation, but after Wang Buqu intervened, the two of them suddenly felt an inexplicable identification.

"How did you and Lao Wang know each other?"

On the way, Zhou Li and Xu Gong walked side by side and chatted. The carriage behind them was surrounded by Jinyiwei and others, and no one would approach the carriage.

"After graduating from the Imperial College, he came to the capital camp. Our families knew each other before, so we were assigned to the same department."

Xu Gong placed his hand on the hilt of the long sword and said slowly: "At first we all wanted to join the Imperial Guards, but then something happened in my family, so I chose to join the Jinyiwei in advance. Wang Buqu went to the border to train for a while, and after returning, he joined the Imperial Guards."

"You have a good relationship with him."

Zhou Li looked at Xu Gong and said with a smile: "We are friends?"

This time, Xu Gong did not answer fluently like before. After a long while, he sighed inaudibly, then kept his previous expression and said calmly: "Jinyiwei cannot have any private teaching, not to mention that I am also a commander, I can't act on impulse."

"is it?"

Zhou Li looked at Xu Gong standing beside him and smiled without commenting.

"arrive."

Soon, after passing through a stone gate that was only open to a few others, Zhou Li and the others entered the capital. (End of this chapter)
