Zongwu: Yue Lao System, grab Huang Rong

The fastest way to improve your strength is to conquer the girl of luck and then participate in the lottery.

Therefore, it was impossible for Li Yu to stay for Tie Xinlan alone for too long.

In this case, we can only use less glorious means.

He looked closely at Tie Xinlan's delicate face.

With willow-shaped eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, rosy cheeks and a rosy mouth, she is as beautiful as a porcelain figurine created by a master craftsman with all his heart and soul, and she has a faint fragrance about her.

Every place is beautiful and every place is smooth.

Tie Xinlan waited for a long time for Li Yu's decision, neither comforting her nor killing her. She was curious and quietly opened her eyes a little.

Seeing Li Yu looking at her unscrupulously, Tie Xinlan instantly lost her composure.

She opened her eyes and said angrily, "Hey, what do you want?"

But no matter how angry she was, Li Yu still had a smile that made her fist itch: "It's easy for you to die, but someone will be sad."

"Who is it? You?" Tie Xinlan rolled her eyes unhappily, with an expression that said, "I've already seen through your tricks."

Li Yu shook his head: "Of course I am sad, but there is someone who is much sadder than me. How can I compare with him?"

Tie Xinlan was no fool. After a moment's hesitation, she quickly reacted and grabbed Li Yu's arm, saying excitedly, "You... you know where my father is?"

Li Yu nodded slightly: "I know."

"Where is he? Where is he?!" Tie Xinlan was surprised and happy, and her tears fell down in anxiety.

Thinking back to the fears she had endured over the past few days, and how ferocious those people had been, Tie Xinlan felt incredibly aggrieved.

If Daddy were still alive, how could these people dare to come and bully her?

At the same time, after this incident, she also understood more deeply how good her father was. In the past, it was her father who had supported her a carefree "sky".

Li Yu said calmly: "I will tell you where your father is, and I can help you rescue him, and then you can be my woman, okay?"

Tie Xinlan's expression froze, and then she pouted, with a grudge on the corner of her mouth. She said dissatisfiedly: "You are asking for favors, you have bad intentions, you are shameless."

Li Yu agreed with this and said, "I still covet your body. I am a cheapskate."

Tie Xinlan had never heard such blunt and explicit words before, and her cheeks flushed immediately.

Then, she couldn't help but burst out laughing: "You...you...who would say that about themselves?"

Li Yu looked surprised: "Isn't this what you really think? Don't you agree?"

Tie Xinlan blushed, not knowing how to respond. Her thoughts raced, and she changed the subject: "You saved my father? What happened to my father? Was he captured by someone?"

Li Yu did not answer but asked: "So, you agree to my request?"

Tie Xinlan turned sideways and murmured in dissatisfaction, "You're asking even though you already know the answer."

Li Yu was happy.

However, he also knew the principle of knowing when to relax and work hard, so he knew when to stop.

Pointing at the masked Grandmaster, he said, "Do you know why he wants to kill you?"

Upon hearing this, Tie Xinlan looked over with curiosity.

Naturally, she had a very deep impression of the masked grandmaster.

After all, among so many people present, he was the only one who came up and wanted to kill her.

Tie Xinlan will never forget the pain that the masked grandmaster's ruthless palm brought her, and she also can't remember when she had offended such a terrifying person.

Seeing that the masked grandmaster had been acupunctured and could not move, she hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to step forward and pull off his veil, revealing a sinister old face with a dagger hidden in its smile.

Tie Xinlan was startled at first, but then she calmed down. She looked at him carefully in the moonlight and lamplight for a long time, then shook her head: "I don't know, I don't know him either."

Li Yu said: "Your name is Liu Xi, and you are a eunuch in the imperial palace. Naturally, you don't know him. But he knows you, and he knows your father very well."

The eunuchs in the imperial palace? My father?

Tie Xinlan understood: "Did he capture my father? Or was he captured by the emperor's order?"

Tie Xinlan was horrified and in her haste, she didn't even care about Liu Xi's sensitive identity.

⑨If it is the former, it is fine, just get rid of Liu Xi, but if it is the latter, then it will be a big trouble.

Li Yu thoughtfully grabbed one of her hands and patted it gently to comfort her: "Don't worry, the arrest of your father was entirely Liu Xi's own decision for personal gain."

4Self-interest?

8 Tie Xinlan thought secretly, what is there about Tie Ruyun that makes people miss him?

⑷No, to be more precise, is there anything worth a eunuch’s concern?

Before he could think about it, he heard Li Yu say, "Liu Xi has practiced an evil skill and has now reached a bottleneck. If he wants to master the last level of telekinesis, he must find the 'Five Yangs and Two Yins' before the day of the Seven Stars' alignment. This will help him practice and achieve great success."

9. "Five Yang and Two Yin?"

Tie Xinlan frowned, knowing that this so-called "assistance" would be extremely costly, or even involve some evil method of "eating people".

5 "Yes, they are exactly the five men with pure yang bodies and two women with pure yin bodies identified according to their birth dates."

Li Yu explained, "When this 'Five Yang and Two Yin' assists this eunuch in cultivating his evil power, all his vital energy will be completely sucked away. What do you think will be the outcome?"

Tie Xinlan's heart was pounding, and she said in surprise, "Then my father..."

Li Yu nodded and said, "It is one of the 'Five Yangs'."

Tie Xinlan's eyes turned cold, she drew her sword and stabbed Liu Xi in the neck: "I'll kill you first!"

However, the tip of the sword had just penetrated half an inch when it was pinched by two fingers.

Facing Tie Xinlan's puzzled look, Li Yu said, "Don't worry, he can't run away anyway, so let's make use of the waste first."

Seeing that Liu Xi's face was flushed, Li Yu reached out and untied his mute point.

Liu Xi was first shocked by Li Yu's unfathomable nature, as he actually knew all of Li Yu's details and plans. He was also frightened by Tie Xinlan's sword strike just now, and was almost scared to death.

Now he finally had the chance to speak, and he quickly said, "You can't kill me!"

"We have come here in compliance with the Imperial decree to relieve the distress of Qiyun Manor and to invite Miss Tie to enter the palace and serve His Majesty."

"We are angels. As citizens of the Ming Dynasty, you must never offend the majesty of heaven because of misunderstandings!"

Liu Xi's words were righteous and high-sounding, and he used both hard and soft tactics. There was a threat in his tone. If an ordinary person heard it, they would probably lose their mind on the spot.

You must know that the people should not fight against the officials. This is an eternal truth.

Although many people in the underworld always call themselves the court's lackeys and dislike the people in the court, in fact, when those "court lackeys" really come to them, few people dare to continue to be stubborn.

If you dare to use the martial arts world to discuss the court affairs and point fingers at the emperor, you will offend the majesty of heaven. The court will send an army to destroy your sect.

By then, let alone the Grandmaster, even if the Martial Saint faced the encirclement of a large army, he would be in great danger if he did not have special means such as flying in the air for a long time.

After all, although the Martial Saint can communicate between heaven and earth and control celestial phenomena, he is still within the realm of "human".

As human beings, we have our limits. As human beings, we have our strengths exhausted. It is entirely possible to be surrounded and killed.

What's more, is there no Martial Saint in the court?

Therefore, the big guys in the underworld still have some concerns about the imperial court.

At the same time, in order to maintain stability in the country, the imperial court would not easily take action against the martial arts sects, for fear of provoking the sensitive nerves of the martial arts sects.

You know, even a rabbit will bite when it is angry, and everyone knows the principle of "lips and teeth are cold when they are gone".

Once the imperial court dares to think of "robbing the world of martial arts", all the major sects in the world of martial arts will dare to join hands to oppose you and turn your world upside down.

It is precisely because of this that the various countries in China have formed a polarized situation of division between the martial arts world and the imperial court.

Of course, this separation does not mean absolute peace. The relationship between the government and the opposition is not static. There is both confrontation and cooperation.

For example, during the Qin and Sui dynasties, all the schools of thought and both the righteous and the evil wanted to control the sacred artifacts and change the world.

Another example is the Qing Dynasty. Ever since the Qing Taizu entered the Pass and destroyed the Southern Ming Dynasty and replaced it, a group of Han Chinese righteous men established organizations such as the "Red Flower Society" and the "Heaven and Earth Society" to specifically oppose the imperial court.

This is the conflict between the imperial court and the underworld.

For example, the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, as well as the Liao Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty, the Western Xia Dynasty and other countries, were in constant friction with each other. It was not just a game between the imperial army, but also the people from various countries were helping their own countries.

This was a collaboration between the imperial court and the underworld.

Relatively speaking, within the Ming Dynasty, the relationship between the imperial court and the underworld was quite harmonious, and there were no reports of any major confrontations.

However, Tie Xinlan scoffed at Liu Xi's words and did not believe a single word he said.

"You're kidding me! You come here and want to kill me, and you even say the emperor wants to marry me. Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

Tie Xinlan was furious and felt that her intelligence was insulted.

This damn eunuch...why does he think that I would believe such a clumsy lie?

How disrespectful!

Liu Xi was about to explain anxiously when he heard Li Yu say, "He didn't lie. The Emperor Ming did give this order."

"But you are, after all, a child of the Jianghu. Even if your reputation as 'the most beautiful woman in Sanjiang Prefecture' is resounding, you still don't meet the requirements for selection as a concubine."

"Although the Emperor covets you, he wants to avoid criticism from his courtiers. Therefore, this order was issued in secret and cannot be made public. If it were discovered, the Emperor might not even acknowledge it."

"To put it simply, it's the same as a mountain king kidnapping decent women and taking them up the mountain."

"It's just that the emperor is more concerned about his reputation. He has to do a good job on the surface and can't be so unscrupulous. And the place you are going to is changed to the Forbidden City."

Li Yu made a summary.

After hearing this, Tie Xinlan was completely stunned.

What is going on? How come it is still true?

"Since it was the emperor's order, why did this damn eunuch want to kill me?" Tie Xinlan was puzzled.

Li Yu smiled and said, "Of course I'm afraid that if you really enter the palace and become favored in the future, and then learn the truth, you will avenge your father's murder."

Tie Xinlan was startled, and then she understood completely.

Seeing that the two believed his words, Liu Xi couldn't help but smile brightly, like a chrysanthemum, and felt much more relaxed.

Now that I know the connection, I believe my personal safety is not in jeopardy.

These two people shouldn't dare to disobey the Holy Authority... right?

Liu Xi secretly persuaded himself.
