Zhou Li's heart tightened.
"Why does Le Ping say that? What did the noble family do? I really don't know what you are talking about."
Did Le Ping see something? Did she know that she was involved?
I heard before that there has been no news about those people from the noble families who took action. Could it be that they were all dealt with by her?
It’s really scary. This person is too weird. Can’t so many people deal with her?
What did she know? Did she also know that she was involved?
Feeling a little uneasy, Zhou Li tensed up and tried not to show any fear.
Time
Haru blinked.
"Your Majesty doesn't know, so it doesn't matter. They are just some clowns anyway."
"A clown?"
Zhou Li pretended to be ignorant and confused.
"Well, when I went to the fiefdom, there were always some assassins who came to assassinate people. However, those assassins were too incompetent, and I don't know which families hired them. Keqing just subdued them with a casual move."
"Because it was so easy, it was not a big deal, so there is no need to tell His Majesty about it one by one."
Keqing spoke in a relaxed tone, but His Majesty tightened his grip. A sharp pain came from the wound, which made him hesitate in his movements.
If his information was correct, almost two-thirds of the noble families had eliminated their own death squads, and some even colluded with bandits to eliminate their own private soldiers hiding in the dark.
With so many people around, they couldn't do anything to her?!
Could it be that this guy is really blessed and cannot die?
Zhou Li was even more apprehensive. Did she really not know that he was standing by and watching from behind? Or was she pretending not to know?
Zhou Li didn’t know, but he didn’t mind her being timid towards Keqing.
Whether it was the terrifying ability, the force hidden in the dark, the exaggerated luck, or the sudden appearance here, all of these made him, the king of the Great Zhou, feel deeply suspicious.
It's out of control, this guy.
"you……"
He wanted to say something, but his pupils suddenly shrank.
"It seems a little too dark here. Your Majesty, I think you wouldn't mind turning on some light."
Light appeared out of nowhere and instantly illuminated the entire room.
The dim candlelight was really depressing, so this is much better.
Keqing nodded and found a seat to sit down.
However, Zhou Li's face changed drastically.
"you you you……"
Zhou Li looked at this scene, his lips opening and closing, but he couldn't utter a word.
If it was just speculation before, now it has been proven that some of the speculations have been proven.
"You are not a human being!"
"What kind of monster are you!"
Zhou Li shouted, wanting to call the secret guards and the imperial guards over, because only in this way could he feel a little at ease.
However, no matter how he called out, no one around him responded, and he panicked.
"Your Majesty, don't be afraid. I won't do anything to you. Also, you are wrong. I am not a monster..."
"If not a monster, then what is it! You suddenly appeared here, and you have such a magic trick, how can you not be a monster!"
It cannot be killed and has a strange aura. If not a monster, then what is it?
"Your Majesty is afraid?"
Keqing tilted her head.
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I'll know you were involved? Like trying to assassinate me?"
"Nonsense!"
Keqing smiled and said nothing more.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, nor will I kill you. Do you think this is a sorcery?"
Keqing stretched out her hand, and flames appeared out of nowhere in her palm, burning fiercely.
She snapped her fingers again, and the flames disappeared, replaced by flowing water.
Then he rubbed his fingertips, and a golden light appeared out of nowhere.
Looking at His Majesty's astonished expression, Keqing said slowly.
"Why is it witchcraft? Couldn't it be magic? You also said that she is a lucky star, right? You can't just not tolerate Le Ping because she didn't enter the palace?"
Zhou Li forced himself to suppress his surprise.
Could this guy really be a god from heaven? Seeing that Keqing seemed to be harmless, he thought to himself:
If she really was a deity, then all the miracles that had happened before would make sense. Zhou Li looked at Keqing with mixed feelings.
"Are you a fairy?"
"Let's just say so..."
"So these are immortal techniques!?"
"Ah."
Zhou Li paused, then suddenly stood up and knelt.
"I didn't know you were a god. It was a misunderstanding. Please forgive me for what I did before."
Zhou Li apologized decisively, which surprised Keqing. She didn't expect the other party to be so decisive.
From Zhou Li's point of view, with such ability, what can he do? He is just an ordinary mortal, and the other party has also demonstrated extraordinary abilities, traveling through those monsters out of thin air to come to the palace. Now he can't get any help from heaven or earth, and the other party knows that he participated in the assassination. He can only sincerely apologize in advance to protect himself.
As an emperor, Zhou Li still knew what it meant to be aware of the current affairs.
Looking at the kneeling emperor, Keqing sighed. The faint dragon energy above his head completely disappeared as he knelt.
"No need to do that. I don't intend to pursue the previous matters, but the current situation needs to be resolved."
Hearing Keqing not pursuing the matter, Zhou Li's face lit up with joy.
"You, the Immortal, have been reborn in the Great Zhou. You must have seen the suffering of the people and the constant birth of monsters. I wonder if the immortals can save our Great Zhou and the people of the world. If the immortals take action, the people will have nothing to worry about. I, Zhou Li, am here to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the people of the Great Zhou."
Zhou Li put his hat on her, and Keqing blinked at that.
"I want to save the people..."
Zhou Li's face lit up with joy, but turned suddenly pale after Keqing's next words.
"But I can't save this great Zhou."
"Why!"
Zhou Li asked hurriedly.
"why?"
"Of course, the Great Zhou has no
It is curable.”
"How could that be! My Zhou Li is still here, the emperor of the Great Zhou is still here, and with you, the spirit, saving us and guiding us from behind, our Great Zhou will surely rise to prominence after all the work has been done!"
However, Keqing did not answer, but shook her head.
"The luck of the Great Zhou has run out, and I will not allow a second Great Zhou to appear."
Zhou Li's face changed and his expression became gloomy.
"Do you still hate me? Although I participated in the assassination, it was just the suspicion that an emperor should have, and I didn't make a big mistake."
"As a god, you should be broad-minded. How can you be narrow-minded? I have never done anything bad to you before, and I have rewarded you many times. Why are you treating me like this?"
"I'm not targeting you. Today, natural disasters and man-made disasters are rampant, and demons are everywhere. The old political system of the Great Zhou is no longer suitable for the current situation."
Keqing looked at Zhou Li seriously.
"Only by establishing a new system and adapting to the times can we resist this world-destroying disaster."
"Oh, who knows if you are the one who caused this world-destroying disaster? I think you are narrow-minded and unworthy of being a god!"
"As the king of the Great Zhou, I should announce the grand ceremony and abolish you evil gods!"
As if he was sure that Keqing would not attack him, Zhou Li quickly made a threatening gesture.
He was certain that Keqing must need him to do something, otherwise she would not have come to him specially. And this was something that only he could do. Combined with what she had said before about the fortune of the country, it must require him as the emperor to offer incense or hold a grand ceremony to enthrone the god.
Keqing looked at Zhou Li curiously, not understanding why he had changed so much. He had clearly bowed to her decisively just now, but now he was looking down on her. This huge change caught her off guard.
However, Zhou Li saw that Keqing was easy to talk to, and when he heard her talk about fate and national destiny, he was certain that she was lying.
Since there are gods, then His Majesty must be protected by the destiny of the country. The king is given the mandate by heaven and protected by heaven and earth. Is the other party really letting go by not taking action?
No, it must be because she can't do anything to herself. She can't do anything to herself at all. She has the protection of the country's destiny and the protection of heaven and earth.
It is unknown why Zhou Li is arrogant but confident that he is Keqing, but if he knew, he would probably just laugh it off.
Just like people who are not emperors don’t know why the emperor is so suspicious, Keqing also doesn’t know what kind of arrogance makes the emperor so self-righteous.
Zhou Li was like a clown now, and although he was dancing happily, Keqing didn't care. Could she say that she came here just to inform him, just to be polite, and not to ask him for a favor?
Before I could think about it, I heard footsteps outside.
"Who?"
Zhou Li looked over and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the person coming.
"Zhou Xin, it's you. What happened outside?"
"Alas, the people of the world are suffering. If they knew that their only chance of survival was cut off by some existence, would they be filled with resentment and report to the King of Hell?"
Zhou Xin looked at Zhou Li strangely, then retracted his gaze, turned his head and bowed to Keqing.
"I have already given you instructions. All the guards have been integrated into the divine power network. They should be able to become familiar with divine arts in a short time and break out of the encirclement."
"Well, that's good. I'll gather the people outside at the same time, and then we can attack from both inside and outside to eliminate those weird creatures."
"But before the battle, we need to eat and drink enough so that we can have enough energy. We will open the granary later so that everyone can have a good meal."
"Okay, I see."
Watching the two people talking freely, Zhou Li suddenly felt that something was out of his control.
"Zhou Xin, what are you doing!"
"Brother!"
Zhou Xin cupped his hands.
"I am reporting to Her Majesty Xuannv."
"Report?"
Zhou Xin's face turned grim.
"Why report to her?"
"She can lead us to break through the encirclement of the monsters, and grant us divine magic to treat the wounded. Why don't you report it to her? But my brother, aren't you incorporated into the divine power network?"
"What divine power net!?"
Zhou Li frowned.
Zhou Xin looked at Keqing beside him and didn't expect that she didn't tell Zhou Li about her belief in divine power.
He thought about it, and seeing that Keqing did not stop him, he simply told Zhou Li about the matter.
But who would have thought that the more Zhou Li listened, the darker his face became.
"You, aren't you afraid of being punished by God for doing this!?"
