It doesn't matter what the lord is.

After thinking it over, Mr. Hua Liang felt that he could only direct the firepower towards Lid, and hurriedly added:

"I don't have to cause trouble in Lingwu, but this matter is too infuriating. If you don't give me an explanation, no one will be able to swallow this anger. I don't know whether the group responsible for the inspection has accepted bribes, but this matter must be dealt with immediately. I can accept Lingwu arranging a driver for me, but others cannot enjoy any privileges under my nose!"

Young Master Hua Liang was ready to give in first. He thought that if Prince Qin Guang was sensible, he would also give in.

After all, Hualiang was the sixteenth-ranked territory of Yongtian Kingdom, much higher than Yunyang, and Lingwu would not offend him for a city called Yuxi, which was not as good as Yunyang. Besides, his behavior was essentially to drag Lide into the water. He himself was not comfortable and did not want others to be comfortable. Lingwu benefited from it and could monitor the movements of Lide and his group in a natural way, which made the Ten Kings of Hell have no reason to refuse.

King Qin Guang nodded, walked up to Lid and asked:

"Is there anything you want to say?"

Li De didn't say anything, and threw the badge he had just taken back from the soldier directly to King Qin Guang.

King Qin Guang glanced at them symbolically and asked the two drivers brought by Lid:

"Do you know how to get to Kaige Cliff?"

The two drivers nodded. King Qin Guang threw the badge back to Li De and turned to Master Hua Liang and said:

"They do have this privilege. We will naturally report this matter to the Lord, but it will not change even if it reaches the Lord. You can choose to accept this fact, or pack up and return to Hualiang's territory now."

"this--"

Mr. Hua Liang obviously did not expect this result. After a moment of hesitation, he glared at Lid angrily, suppressed his anger in his heart, and said coldly to the soldier in front of him:

"You may search now. Hurry up, I have to hurry and I don't have time to waste with you."

The soldier looked at King Qin Guang, who nodded, and the soldier continued to check and record.

After seeing this, Lid immediately followed suit, cleared his throat, and imitated Mr. Hua Liang's tone just now, and said to the soldier in charge of his side:

"You may search now. Please hurry up. I am in a hurry too."

The soldier looked at King Qin Guang, who shook his head expressionlessly, killing Lidmon's idea of ​​getting away with it in the cradle. King Pingdeng put his delicate hand on the soldier's shoulder and said with a smile:

"Leave the inspection of Yuxi City to us, the Ten Kings of Hell. You can assign more people to take charge of the rest of the work."

The soldier breathed a sigh of relief and left without saying a word.

King Chujiang coughed twice and said to Lide:

"... We are not acquaintances anyway, so I won't be polite with you. Tell your people to get off the car."

Lid sighed, stretched out his hand towards the car, and gently placed a hand in his palm. Lid held Huang Yan's hand and took her out of the car very gentlemanly, and then Alaiya and Xiluo also jumped out of the car. The three top assassins of Lingwu immediately looked at Xiluo, and Xiluo bowed slightly to King Chujiang, as a greeting to the master who had taught her many skills.

"It's the middle of the eighth level. So fast."

King Qin Guang's voice was calm and there was a rare hint of approval in it, as he said to King Chu Jiang:

"When you were her age, I'm afraid you wouldn't be at her level."

King Chujiang snorted coldly and said:

"What realm of cultivation do I care about? If I had a stronger foundation when I was young, I would have been promoted to the position of commander-in-chief with my talent. I don't have to suffer behind your butt every day. Besides, you are my disciple, King Chujiang. If you can't even surpass me, I won't recognize you when you leave!"

Among the three people, King Pingdeng didn't comment much on Xiluo. As a woman, she still held a grudge. Last time, Lid stepped on her face and kicked her to the ground, which was a great humiliation for her. However, the Lord of Lingwu not only pardoned Lid's crime, but also promised that the secret guards would not enter Yuxi City for three years, leaving King Pingdeng no chance to retaliate.

Now that there is such a good opportunity, King Pingdeng is determined to catch Reed's weakness.

Her eyes kept moving between Alayya and Huang Yan.

King Qin Guang also noticed Alaiya, looked at her for a few seconds, and praised her:

"Qingyun has a good eye for selecting disciples."

King Chu Jiang laughed heartily, stroking his stubble and said:

"When can we let the old man take in a disciple? Qingyun and the old man hardly ever fought each other during their lifetime, so we might as well see which of their disciples is stronger. Otherwise, everyone in the world will blindly flatter Qingyun and forget that we also have a great swordsman who is at the tenth level of the sword art!"

After laughing, the three people's eyes fell on Huang Yan at the same time.

King Qin Guang frowned slightly.

Huang Yan gave him a bad feeling, a feeling he had only felt from one person before, and that person was Li De. When they fought in Rivet City, he clearly felt that Li De was not at the tenth level, but as a ninth-level perfect person, he could not sense what level Li De's realm was. He had the same feeling when he saw Huang Yan. His first reaction was that this person was very dangerous, but after a little perception, he found that he could not see any realm cultivation from her.

King Qin Guang looked at Lid, his tone becoming more alert:

"Who is this guy?"

Lid walked to Huang Yan, stretched out his arm to hold her thin waist without a trace of fat, stood side by side with her, and said calmly:

"Play is play, joke is joke, but don't make fun of my wife."

24. Openly showing affection

"your wife?"

King Chujiang blinked and cursed:

"No, who are you kidding? When did you get married? How come I don't know?"

Lid replied as a matter of course:

"The Hidden Guards haven't entered Yuxi City for three years. How could you know that? Besides, we are engaged. Do you understand engagement? Look at which finger the ring is on before you speak. The love between us is stronger than gold. Even if the mountains are gone and the sky and the earth unite, and the winter thunders and the summer snows, I will never break up with you. How come this great love becomes a lie in your mouth?"

King Chujiang was stunned by the rebuke. King Qinguang glanced at the materials in his hand and frowned:

"It's no use saying that you're poor. The inn gave you information, but you didn't bring her with you when you checked in. Where was she then?"

King Pingdeng looked at Huang Yan who remained silent, and then smiled and said:

"Have you two already started living apart so soon? If your relationship isn't going well, you might as well separate while you're still young and give each other some relief."

Lid took Huang Yan's hand and asked the two high-ranking secret guards with a look of pity:

"Are any of you married?"

King Qin Guang and King Pingdeng both shook their heads. They were members of the Hidden Guards, and most of them had no family. First, they didn't know when they might die, and second, it was too easy for hostile forces to seize their weaknesses. Not to mention people like King Qin Guang who were indifferent and had no desires, even the somewhat unruly King Pingdeng only dared to have a brief relationship with other young men in his prime.

Lid loosened his hand around Huang Yan's waist, took a step forward, and said seriously:

"So you've lived to such an old age in vain, you don't have enough experience! Marriage is the grave of love, you know? Once you get to the point of talking about marriage, it means that the relationship between two people has become stable, and it's hard to create more surprises for each other. For example, before she and I met each other, we spent eighteen years in different places and different lives, so when we first met, we had countless topics to talk about and countless experiences to share with each other. But the daily interactions will eventually use up the accumulation of eighteen years, and that's when an emotional crisis will occur."

Lid waved his hand and said:

"But the famous love expert Liu Shi once said that the best way to solve this problem is to let distance create beauty. Every time we go to a new place, we separate for a while and then share what we have seen and heard with each other. So as you can see, our relationship is still very good now."

This is actually pure bullying. The three people on the opposite side have no experience in marriage, so whatever you say is what counts.

The key point seemed to make some sense, and King Qin Guang couldn't think of how to refute it for a moment.

King Chu Jiang laughed loudly for a while, patted his chest and said:

"You tell us all this, but we really don't understand! We are well-known old bachelors in Lingwu. We are too old to keep up with the trends of you little kids... But I still have to ask, who is this girl from, and how did she come to your Yuxi City? It's not too much to know about this, right?"

Just as Lid was about to answer, King Pingdeng stretched out five fingers in front of him and said with a smile:

"You can't answer everything. I also want to hear what this little girl thinks. Come on, introduce yourself. After all, you are the future wife of the mayor of Yuxi City. How can you remain silent in public?"

Reed closed his mouth helplessly. The secret guard had already said this and he really couldn't interrupt anymore.

Huang Yan's eyes swept over King Qin Guang, King Chu Jiang, and King Pingdeng, and after hesitating for a moment, he took Li De's hand, pulled him to his side, and snuggled up to him.

She felt that this action was very much like that of a young couple in love, but she didn't know that she was actually very stiff. Because she was too nervous, Huang Yan moved like a zombie. When she pulled Li De's arm, she left a handprint on his wrist through his clothes. When she leaned her head on his shoulder, she almost broke Li De's shoulder blade.

There was a bright smile on Reed's face, and he looked very affectionate with her, but in his heart he was wailing like a pig being slaughtered.

——It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!! Ah…!! No! Be gentle…!!

Huang Yan had no idea of ​​Lid's thoughts. He held his arm tightly and said stiffly:

"My name is A Yan, and I'm from Yuxi City. I'm his fiancée..."

Huang Yan was stumbling over what she was saying, and King Pingdeng suddenly interrupted her and asked:

"Have you slept yet?"

Huang Yan's body stiffened, and the strength in his hands increased a little. Lide seemed to hear the sound of his radius and ulna bending to the point of breaking. But the next moment, Huang Yan suddenly lowered his head, and the strength in his hands suddenly weakened. He leaned limply against Lide and whispered:

"Slept."

King Pingdeng and King Qin Guang looked at each other, and there was a hint of doubt in both of their eyes.

What's going on? How come he doesn't look like he's lying? Looking at Alayya and Shiloh, they clearly haven't made any progress with Lid. Could it be that a sudden victory is inevitable? Could it be that a Cheng Yaojin really showed up and a city lord's wife appeared out of thin air? ?

Lid took this opportunity to break free from Huang Yan's hand, pulled her into his arms, took a step forward, and announced loudly:

"We are a handsome man and a talented woman, how can you monsters object?! If you want to check, just check it thoroughly. Why do you keep asking about our privacy? Are you trying to steal my girl? Even if I have to risk my life today, I will fight you evil forces to the end..."

King Qin Guang put his hand over his forehead and said to King Pingdeng:

"There's no end to the entanglement. Just search me directly."

Huang Yan turned her back to King Qin Guang and the other three, holding Li De in her arms, her shoulders twitching, looking like she was crying in grievance, but in fact, there was no expression on her face. Li De also pretended to pat her back and coaxed her sweetly:

"Be good, it's okay, it's okay. I'm here, no one can bully you."

That voice gave King Chujiang goosebumps.

Alayya and Shiloh were examined first, but there was nothing to examine about them. The little slime in the box was examined thoroughly, which helped Huang Yan to attract a lot of attention. Facing the stares of the three hidden guards, the little slime was so scared that it threw itself on Lid's face and burst into tears, making Lid almost unable to breathe.

However, King Qin Guang, King Pingdeng and King Chu Jiang thought about it for a long time, but could not remember which law in the Secret Guard stipulated that slimes could not be brought in, so they had no choice but to let them in.

When it was Huang Yan's turn to be searched, King Pingdeng first pretended to touch her all over, and suddenly pulled out his hand and wiped her face. Huang Yan wanted to hide, but she was afraid of exposing her realm, so she could only let King Pingdeng's hand gently brush her cheek.

King Pingdeng glanced at his hands. They were clean and Huang Yan's appearance had not changed in the slightest.

There was a clear look of disappointment on King Pingdeng's face.

Lid chuckled in his heart. If this thing could be wiped off so easily, there wouldn't be so many people being fooled. After all, wiping a hand full of powder is just a joke. Not to mention wiping it off, even pouring a basin of water on it probably wouldn't make any difference.

This is called professionalism!

25. There is another reason for the abnormality

"You've passed."

There was no smile on King Qin Guang's face, and his voice was still cold. When they parted, he did not forget to warn:

"Just because they haven't found out doesn't mean there's no problem. Don't think you'll be fine if you sneak into Lingwu. If anything goes wrong, none of you will be able to leave."

Lid complained:

"What kind of trouble can we cause? Don't take revenge on me and throw all the dirty water on me. I am a law-abiding person and I always convince people with reason. Even if something goes wrong, it is definitely not my fault."

King Chujiang couldn't help laughing. He remembered that when he and his gang went to execute Xiluo, they told Lide that this was Lingwu's private matter and he shouldn't interfere. But Lide said after the beating, "In Yuxi City, I am the most important reason." Now, things have changed over time. Logically, it should be the home court of the Hidden Guards, but his gang still didn't have a good way to deal with him.

In fact, everyone knows the reason even without saying it, the key is that the attitude of the Lingwu Lord is unclear.

Logically, Lid came here to be beaten, but in fact, he had made an indelible contribution to the establishment of the Iron Wall Defense Line. In exchange for a small assassin who should have been executed and a middle-level manager who was insignificant to the Hidden Guards, they got a strategic weapon that could resist the southward advance of the giants. So even if he might have done something in the alliance between the capital and Xi Qin, the Lingwu lord would not necessarily kill him.

These matters have to be judged by the Lord of Lingwu - the entire Hidden Guard sounds like a huge and terrifying organization, but in fact it is just a knife in the hand of that woman.

However, to King Qin Guang's surprise, Li De actually went a step further and asked them before leaving:

"I heard that someone almost broke into your place a few days ago? Was the criminal caught?"

King Qin Guang shook his head and said:

"Not yet."

Lid asked again:

"I was at the inn before, and I heard that you have dispatched a lot of people here. More than one person even saw high-ranking military officials showing up nearby. I think this should not only be used to deal with intruders. Otherwise, if someone comes here today to make trouble and then runs away, and someone else makes trouble and then runs away tomorrow, your army will have to stay here for years. Did something happen recently?"

King Qin Guang looked at Lid with some surprise, as if he didn't expect him to say that. He hesitated for a moment and said:

"It is indeed not just because of the intruder... But the specific reason cannot be disclosed. This is the secret of our secret guards."

"Okay, when you get back, I'll ask your boss directly if I have a chance."

Lid didn't care. After getting on the carriage, he waved to the three men, Qin Guangwang, and said in high spirits:

"Bye bye!"

Then he walked away with a swagger.

Looking at Lid's back as he left, the three of the Ten Kings of Hell all had bitter smiles on their faces. But without solid evidence, they had no good way to deal with Lid. The three of them stood there and talked about Xiluo for a while. They met again after nearly a year, and even the vicious King Pingdeng had to admit that Xiluo had indeed grown up very fast.

After all, he was trained as the successor to the Grand Commander. His talent and hard work are all first-class in the Lingwu Territory, even higher than the three of them. Chujiang Wang is over 40 years old this year, which is a little over the ninth level. Xiluo is in the middle of the eighth level this year. If he continues to grow at this speed, he will probably catch up with him next year.

Although there is still a huge experience gap between the two people beyond the realm, this experience difference will slowly be made up as Xiluo's battles increase. King Chujiang estimates that if nothing unexpected happens, in another three to five years at most, Xiluo's strength will surpass his in all aspects, which also means that his generation of the Ten Kings of Hell will almost withdraw from the stage of history.
