Li Beimu: "?"

Didn't anyone ask him if he was hungry?

"Uncle Emperor, wait for me!"

Li Beimu quickly chased after him.

After everyone was gone, Tang Jingkong breathed a sigh of relief and felt his back was soaked.

King Gong is about to finish.

The regent obviously intends to delegate power and train the emperor. I wonder if he really wants to retire, or is he letting the emperor retreat in the face of difficulties?

Hey.

The weather in Dongyue is about to change.

Shaking his head, Tang Jingkong went back and changed his clothes. Just after changing, the yamen servant came to report that Guan Yuansheng and his daughter came again.

"Master Tang, I heard that there was a leak in the cell. Is there anything happened to my daughter's body?" Guan Yuansheng looked anxious.

Tang Jing shook his head, "Don't worry, the regent was there at the time, and Miss Guan's body is well taken care of."

Guan Yuansheng breathed a sigh of relief, then remembered that he was rude just now, and quickly bowed to Tang Qingqing: "Concern leads to chaos, I hope you can understand."

Guansheng Bank has branches in the four countries, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the richest man in Dongyue Kingdom.

Although Guan Yuansheng does not hold an official position, his influence is huge. Even the first-class officials in the current dynasty would give him some thin noodles, let alone Tang Qingzong?
Tang Jingjing chuckled and waved his hand: "The customs officer is speaking too harshly."

Guan Wanyun's eyes were still red, and she asked with hidden tears: "Master Tang, can't you really take away my sister's body? My sister died so tragically, I really don't want her to suffer any more, so she can be buried as soon as possible For peace."

Tang Jingjing looked embarrassed, "To be honest, not only is the regent personally supervising this case, but even the emperor is aware of it. A second autopsy is inevitable, but I can guarantee that the second autopsy will be completed after the new widow's autopsy." After the second corpse, I must personally send someone to send Miss Guan’s body back to the house.”

Both Guan Yuansheng and Guan Wanyun were a little surprised. They didn't expect that such a case would alert even the emperor. They had no choice but to leave first.

……

Zuixian Tower, elegant room on the second floor.

Nan Xi listened to Li Beimu's ramble while eating food.

"I didn't expect that King Gong would be so ambitious. Even I want to kill him."

"Uncle Emperor, since we can all think of using new people in the scientific examination to check and balance King Gong, wouldn't King Gong think of this, use coercion and inducement, and use all means to win them over?"

"Gong Huijun goes to the palace to see the queen every now and then. His ambition is clear. Today they dare to assassinate me, and tomorrow they might attack the queen. We really have to be on guard."

Li Qingmo seemed not to hear, and calmly served Nan Xi some food.

"What are you doing here? Don't you like this dish?" he asked.

Nan Xi shook his head, the food tasted like chewing wax.

[Shouldn’t this minister’s conspiracy to assassinate people be told behind my back? 】

[You are discussing this in front of me. If the matter is exposed, wouldn’t I be the biggest suspect? 】

[Woooooooo, I just want to make a living, find a job, and earn some merit points. Why is it so difficult? 】

Li Qingmo couldn't help but laugh in his heart, but his eyes turned slightly cold when he looked at Li Beimu, "You can't say anything after eating."

Only then did Li Beimu stop.

Nan Xi breathed a sigh of relief and admired Li Qingmo fiercely.

【Master is so handsome! 】

Li Qingmo didn't understand what 'handsome' meant, but he could guess the meaning from Nan Xi's expression and eyes, and his eyes couldn't help but soften a little.

When Li Beimu raised his head to pick up the food, he happened to see this scene.

Blinking, I always feel like I am superfluous.

Boom!Xia Rui knocked on the door outside, "Sir, the person who went after Li Jiang has been found."

"Come in." Li Qingmo said.

Xia Rui pushed the door open and closed it behind him, with a solemn expression.

Li Qingmo glanced at him, already having a guess in his mind, and asked: "Where is the person?"

Xia Rui: "They are all dead."

This 'both' naturally refers to the two shadow guards who went after Li Jiang.

Xia Rui's eyes were full of anger, but he couldn't vent it in front of the emperor and his master, so he could only endure it as hard as he could.

"We are all brothers who grew up together and have been through life and death. How could Li Jiang do this?"

Li Qingmo doesn't know how to comfort people. It's always up to them to figure out this kind of thing.

Looking at Xia Rui's angry and forbearing expression, Nan Xi couldn't bear it, and said softly: "Actually, from the moment he betrayed Master, he has never treated you as brothers again. If you continue to be merciful, you will not be able to retaliate against him. Be kind, then you may be the one who dies in his hands next time."

Xia Rui was shocked.

Yes.

He and Li Jiang are no longer brothers.

Li Qingmo looked at Xia Rui and ordered in a deep voice: "Today's matter must be related to him. To assassinate the emperor is an unforgivable crime. Capture him and bring him back."

"Yes, sir."

Xia Rui calmed down, tightened the hand holding the sword a little, turned and left.

……

At three o'clock in the morning, Xia Rui was injured, and while Li Jiang was escaping, he happened to meet Nan Xi and others who had just come out of Zuixian Tower.

Li Qingmo raised his arms to protect Nan Xi and Li Beimu behind him.

Xia Rui staggered, flew forward with his sword in hand, jumped in front of Li Jiang, and blocked his way.

"Master, you go first." Xia Rui shouted while exchanging blows with Li Jiang.

Li Qing's eyes were slightly cold, and he made a gesture, and several shadow guards appeared, protecting Li Beimu and Nan Xi in the middle.

The moment Li Jiang saw Li Qingmo, his pupils trembled, and he subconsciously wanted to retreat, but before he had time to react, Xia Rui had already chased after him.

He had no choice but to continue fighting with Xia Rui.

Although Xia Rui was injured, his strength should not be underestimated.

Li Jiang wanted to get away quickly, his eyes flickered, his wrist turned slightly, and a hidden weapon appeared on his fingertips. At the same time, he deliberately used a flaw to induce Xia Rui to lean forward and flick out the hidden weapon with his fingers.

Xia Rui had no time to dodge, so he could only grit his teeth and fight for his life, facing the hidden weapon with his body, and swung the sword in his hand towards Li Jiang at the same time.

He was ready to die together.

Whoosh!
A piece of broken silver flew out from Li Qingmo's fingertips, and when the hidden weapon was about to sink into Xia Rui's body, he knocked it out.

Li Jiang turned sideways and narrowly avoided Xia Rui's attack. Only his arm was scratched by his sword edge.

Xia Rui flew up again, waved his sword and stood in front of Li Qingmo, looking at Li Jiang with cold eyes.

"You hurt someone with a hidden arrow and tempered the poison. You even used such despicable methods. Li Jiang, you have really forgotten all my teachings."

Li Jiang didn't dare to look at Li Qingmo, so he could only turn all the helplessness and fear into anger, and let out a loud 'snort', "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. What's wrong with using some means to survive? Like you , you have repeatedly fallen into my trap, but you still fall for it again and again, you are a real fool, a fool!"

Xia Rui looked down at his injuries. The bright red blood stains and the fishy-sweet smell showed his stupidity.

"Haha." He looked up at Li Jiang, "At least I have a clear conscience, but that's all. From now on, you will be my eternal enemy, Xia Rui."

He flew up again and swung the sharp sword flower towards Li Jiang without hesitation. (End of chapter)
