How to work

The moment Zhuo Xiuyuan said the 'treasure map', He Lianyu's spirit tensed up, and he felt that there must be something wrong!

Therefore, when Zhuo Xiu hit the arrow from afar, his reaction was the fastest. Before Zhao Zhu knew the origin of the hidden arrow, he picked up Shen Wansha and rushed towards the direction of the arrow.

"Little Lizi—" Shen Wansha's eyes were still on Lu Li, and he anxiously grabbed He Lianyu's waist, "Little Lizi is in danger!"

"Don't worry..." He Lianyu kissed Shen Wansha's forehead, "He will be fine."

Shen Wansha grabbed He Lianyu's shoulder and looked down, seeing that Lu Li was indeed carried away by Zhao Zhu, he just patted his chest, "It's okay..."

Everything happened so suddenly, the Jianghu people in the hall were a little confused, and they didn't know how to react for a while.

He Lianyu flew to find the person who shot the arrow in the dark. After Zhao Zhu ordered his subordinates to arrest the foreigners, suddenly several figures appeared in the remote corners of the hall, and they raised their hands to make a killing move.

The Jianghu people now understand that there are villains sneaking in!

So there was no need for Zhao Zhu's order, nor for Wen Qi to mobilize, everyone immediately copied the guy and fought against the nearest villain.

These villains are very strange, most of them are ugly, plainly dressed, and have strange martial arts skills.While fighting, the Jianghu people recalled, these days... I have seen a few, but most of these people are silent and low-key, walking alone, do not contact with others, and rarely chat politely, so they did not pay attention...

It turned out that he was a generation with ghosts in his heart!

The Jianghu people were very indignant, and cooperated to form a siege, vowing to make these people come and go!

Lu Li felt that the current situation was very strange.

Zhuo Xiuyuan hijacked him because in a short time, Ping Wang Zhao Zhu showed too much importance to him, Zhuo Xiuyuan wanted to use him as a threat to force Wen Qi to hand over what he wanted.If Wen Qi doesn't cooperate, King Ping will use his status and power to exert pressure, so this plan is very clever.

And if it was not a last resort, Zhuo Xiuyuan would definitely not kill him, because doing so would do more harm than good.

But Zhuo Xiuyuan was killed just after the plan was launched, and before he could move much... the timing was a bit subtle, as if he had been silenced.

Lu Li didn't understand the actions of the aliens. If he had colluded with Zhuo Xiuyuan, shouldn't he hear the result?If there is an enmity with Zhuo Xiuyuan, he should not attack him in full view. The time can be advanced or delayed a little, so that it will not become a target of public criticism, and everyone will attack him together.

Lu Li felt that these aliens didn't seem to intend to expose them. If He Lianyu hadn't acted quickly and Zhao Zhu had revealed their identities and issued an order, these people should have fired hidden weapons and disappeared quietly...

Because people from the rivers and lakes joined the battle, the environment around Lu Li and Zhao Zhu was much more relaxed, so Lu Li shared his guess with Zhao Zhu.

Zhao Zhu nodded, his eyes were sharp, "You guessed right, they really didn't plan to do anything."

"Then why..."

There must be a treasure map.Zhao Zhu had guesses in his heart, so he protected Lu Li and walked out of the circle, "We'll know when we catch them."

Lu Li let Zhao Zhu hug him, "That's right."

After being forced out helplessly, the foreign team began to want to capture the thief first, and came towards Zhao Zhu and Lu Li.In the shadow of swords, lights and swords, Zhao Zhu hugged Lu Li, twirled and twirled, the mace in his hand was extremely powerful, anyone who dared to step forward had only one result: death!

The field of vision was shaking, and the sharp sound of the exchange of swords and soldiers exploded in his ears, Lu Li could almost feel the murderous aura attacking as if it were real, and he was so excited that he was sweating all over his body.

There was warm blood splashed on the face, and the fishy-sweet smell came straight to the nostrils...

Lu Li subconsciously looked at Zhao Zhu.

This man was as strong as ever, with sharp eyebrows and full of murderous intent. Even if he was hugged, his movements did not slow down at all, like a born warrior!

This person is domineering and arrogant, yet calm and wise, as if following him, no matter how difficult the road is, you don't have to worry, he will take you to see the scenery along the way and reach the wonderful end...

It’s not that the road is smooth and without danger, it’s not that the road is sunny without wind and rain, but with him, these will become unique scenery, you just need to enjoy it with peace of mind.

……

Lu Li experienced the harshness of the living environment in ancient times more than once.For example, he himself has been here for a year, and has experienced several murders. If Zhao Zhu hadn't been there, he might have died several times.It's good that Zhao Zhu is strong, but wouldn't a strong person be in danger?

No, with Zhao Zhu's status and authority, he must face more dangerous situations than he imagined...

In a daze, he turned around quickly again, and Lu Li fixedly looked at Zhao Zhu's profile.The candlelight was very clear at this moment, Lu Li saw the black stubble on Zhao Zhu's face, the bloodshot eyes...

Like a person who has been displaced for a long time.

Prince Ping, who has a noble status and a high status, how could...

Lu Li's heart moved slightly, was it because he was looking for him?

He couldn't help stretching out his hand, caressing Zhao Zhu's face, trying to wipe away the traces of wind and frost for him.

In the past three months, he thought too much, the only thing he didn't think of was the word safety.

The world is changeable, let alone tomorrow and today, even within today, the next moment may be different from this moment.

He doesn't know how long he can stay in this different space, so, since he likes it, why don't he cherish it?

Put all the problems aside first, cherish the person in front of him, perhaps that is what he should do the most...

The number of foreigners has decreased a lot, and no matter how desperately struggling, they will not be able to escape being restrained.Soon, the situation in the hall was settled.

The aliens who fought against the Jianghu people were basically dead. Either they were killed by the Jianghu people, or they felt that they could not escape, so they bit the poison pill in their teeth and killed themselves.Zhao Zhu's hidden guards were more experienced, and they removed the jaws of the aliens one step ahead of time, and tied up a few living people.

Because it was related to the hidden treasure and the matter was confidential, Zhao Zhu didn't explain it to the Jianghu people, and directly asked his subordinates to take him away.Of course, none of the Jianghu people dared to refute. Wen Qi took the lead and said unanimously: Let Ping Wang deal with it.

At this time, another accident happened.

Shen Wansha was very happy to see that Lu Li was fine, and trotted towards him, Lu Li was also very happy, and wanted to have a loving hug with his little friend, but Zhao Zhu kept holding his hand tightly, even if it was confirmed that he was safe Don't worry too.

Seeing him talking to Wen Qi, Lu Li thought that he didn't pay attention to him and used a little more strength, but he still didn't get away.

Not only did he not get rid of Zhao Zhu, but because of too much strength, he staggered himself.

Lu Li couldn't stand firmly for a while, and when he grabbed Zhao Zhu with all his strength, the skirt of his clothes was torn apart due to too much force, and the wooden plaque that he had been wearing around his neck fell off.

What he wore around his neck was the Sovereign Order with the word 'Chuanyun' written on it.

There was a crisp and soft sound of '啪啦', and the room was suddenly silent.

Among the Jianghu people present, as long as they are of some age and experience, there is no one who does not know the Sovereign Order.She was young, but loved by her elders, she was told about the Sovereign Order, and even saw a portrait of the Sovereign Order, so when this sign came out... everyone was shocked.

Lu Li and Qian Kun had made a plan before, if Wen Qi's father's death could be resolved smoothly this time, the Sovereign Order would be released. As long as the timing is right, his appearance will not cause resentment.

But he never expected that the Sovereign Order unexpectedly fell down!

It's still when the atmosphere is delicate!

Lu Li was a little dazed.

Hu Weiwei felt sorry for Suzerain Ling who fell to the ground, so she quickly squatted down to pick it up, blew and wiped it, and then handed it to Lu Li after it was cleaned, "Master—be careful next time."

Lord, master?

The Jianghu people's eyes widened at the same time.

Sovereign Order...Master...

Could it be that Mr. Lu is the holder of the suzerain order, the suzerain of this generation?

There was a flash of light in Wen Qi's eyes, he laughed twice, stood up, cupped his hands and bowed to the Jianghu people present, "I'm afraid you don't know yet, the gentleman I invited from Wenjiabao is the current suzerain!"

Now that we have arrived at the right point, we might as well grab a head start. Anyway, regardless of Lu Li's autopsy skills, or the King Ping behind him, Lu Li, the suzerain position, will definitely be able to stand firm.Wen Qi smiled and saluted Lu Li, "I have to thank the suzerain for his help this time. My father's death came to a conclusion. Wen Qi thanked the suzerain for his kindness. If the suzerain has orders from now on, he will go through fire and water and die!"

There was a sudden silence in the hall, and soon, the atmosphere became lively again.

Wen Jiabao has recently become the leader of the Jianghu. As soon as he made a statement, the Jianghu people present, regardless of whether they thought it through or not, followed suit at the first move, and all saluted, "I have seen the suzerain!"

"It turns out that Mr. Lu is the suzerain, no wonder he possesses the skills of ghosts and gods..."

"The suzerain is too polite. Why did you hide your identity when you came here, and only favor Wenjiabao? I'm very jealous..."

"The suzerain is free, so you must come to my Maple Leaf Villa as a guest!"

……

Lu Li's eyes were wide open, watching the scene as if he was acting, one scene after another, almost unable to react.

So this is...not planned, but it worked out?

He stared at Zhao Zhu in a daze. I'm afraid there are many reasons for this person...

Although he has the ability to do things, but the matter of the old castle owner has not yet been found out, as soon as the sign was dropped, Wen Qi immediately expressed his intention to follow, and then all the people in the Jianghu followed, it must be Zhao Zhu's face.

Hu Weiwei was a little anxious, and kept winking at Lu Li, but unfortunately her eyelids were about to cramp, and Lu Li just didn't see it.

Now that the Jianghu people have recognized the suzerain's decree, the most important thing is to express their stance!

Seeing that Lu Li was in a daze, Zhao Zhu simply spoke up for him, "Everyone, Sect Master Lu is straightforward and informal, so you don't need to be too polite."

"It's good to be refreshing, we Jianghu people are refreshing!"

"It's better to be informal, I'm just lazy, hahaha——"

People in the Jianghu expressed that whatever is the best for the Suzerain, Zhao Zhu nodded with satisfaction, "Sect Master Lu is busy with affairs and has little time in the Jianghu. If you have any needs, you can contact—"

Zhao Zhu pointed at Hu Weiwei, "His maid Hu Weiwei contacted her. The suzerain has just returned, and I don't know much about the Jianghu affairs. There will be rules and instructions issued one by one later, so everyone just follow them."

King Ping's demeanor was not friendly at all, and his voice was cold, but no one in Jianghu dared to object.It is so rare for Prince Ping to personally speak about the affairs of Jianghu!With Wen Qi taking the lead, everyone happily accepted the fact that the new suzerain had appeared.

Lu Li: ...

Nothing is done, the road is flat!

……

In short, everything is logical because of the appearance of King Ping.

The case of the old castle owner of Wenjiabao has not been solved yet. Although Zhuo Xiuyuan is dead, his son is still there and was captured by Zhao Zhu's hidden guards. Next, we need to ask more questions.Because the matter involved hidden treasures and it was not easy to publicize, Zhao Zhu proposed a separate trial.

Hu Weiwei rolled her beautiful eyes twice, she simply pulled Qian Kun out, and together with her, gathered people from the Jianghu to one side to talk about the future.

In this way, people in the Jianghu are busy, and they are not considered to be driven away by Zhao Zhu. Everyone has face and is happy.

Wen Qi vacated a room specially, and led Zhao Zhu and others over to interrogate Zhuo Ziang.

Zhao Zhu didn't give Zhuo Ziang a chance to hesitate, and said directly, "If you confess, I will allow you to take the whole body without involving your family. Otherwise, your Zhuo family is full, so don't want it."

Zhuo Ziang shuddered.

King Ping... This is King Ping who kills without batting an eye...

So he said.

The old castle owner was indeed killed by Zhuo Xiuyuan, and his motive was to want the treasure map on the old castle owner of the Wen family.

Zhuo Xiuyuan knew that the old castle lord had a treasure map on him, but he didn't say anything when he tried it twice, and even wanted to be on guard, so Zhuo Xiuyuan made a plan to torture the old castle lord.He first found a person whose body shape and facial features were very similar to the old castle owner's. Coincidentally, this person was also in the Zhuangzi and was a servant of the Wen family castle.

On that day, Zhuo Xiuyuan first drugged the old castle master, then disguised the person who was very similar to the old castle master, and fed poison—a kind of poison that can show the appearance of madness and death.

Afterwards, Zhuo Xiuyuan carried that person on his back, sneaked into the water pavilion and replaced the fainted old castle owner.

During this period, Zhuo Ziang was in charge.

After Zhuo Xiuyuan and his son finished exhorting, when they left to do some work, Zhuo Ziang found Ruan Ying who had barged in by mistake, and knocked him unconscious.Because his father's business was very important, he didn't dare to leave without authorization, so he decided to take care of Jiying first and wait until the matter was finished.

He was a little nervous and couldn't see Ruan Ying's face clearly, but he was confident in his own strength, it would not be a problem if Ruan Ying fainted for more than half an hour.

But when he finished his work, Ruan Ying disappeared when he came back. He was a little flustered, and he didn't dare to talk to Zhuo Xiuyuan, and he paid close attention to Wenjiabao's affairs in private.

"But even if your father is strong in martial arts, the old castle master has many guards around him. Is it so easy to give him medicine and enter his room?" Shen Wansha didn't understand.

Lu Li raised his eyebrows slightly, reminding him, "They have internal support in the Wen family."

"Who?" Shen Wansha's big eyes flickered.

Zhuo Ziang lowered his head, "...gentle."

Wen Rang has no skills, but he has a big heart and a strong jealousy, and he can be moved by a little profit.However, the old castle master valued friendship and was not too wary of his younger brother, so he got the point.

It was Wen Rang who helped to watch, and Zhuo Ziang realized that Chun Xing was abnormal.It's a pity that a few days later, Chun Xing didn't show much, and Zhuo Ziang didn't show up either, so Wen Rang continued to stare.

Because Zhuo Xiuyuan has a very good friendship with the old castle owner, he has a separate compound in the village, which is very private.So after Zhuo Xiuyuan got his hands, he didn't leave Zhuangzi, he tortured the old castle owner in his room, and forced him to ask about the treasure map.

Wen Qi's eyes were about to burst, "This beast!"

Zhuo Ziang flinched, saying that what his father used for the old castle master was the 'four hooves' guessed by Lu Li during the bone examination.Zhuo Xiuyuan knew that when he asked the old castle lord, he would definitely not say anything, so he imprisoned the old castle lord for three days, and then hanged him for three days with this "mild" punishment, saying that he would loosen his muscles and bones first, and wait until he had had enough. Liao Ruo, he will recruit without them asking.

Who knew that the old castle owner could not endure this punishment, and if he didn't beat or increase the punishment, the old castle owner died.

Zhuo Xiuyuan was furious, but he was already dead, and it was useless to be angry, so he changed his face for the old castle master, pretended to be that servant, and pretended to be a martyr for his master...

During this period, the Wenjiabao was constantly in trouble, several groups of people were fighting for power, and there was no one in charge, which allowed their plan to proceed very smoothly.

This matter did not come to fruition, Zhuo Xiuyuan had other calculations in his heart, in order to avoid suspicion, he set up another trick, let the Wen family drive him out, and returned to Lianhua Villa, but in fact, he secretly kept someone to keep an eye on the hidden treasure Things……

Then, the time came to this hero meeting.

Zhuo Xiuyuan said that the treasure map is still in Wenjiabao, and they must be obtained. The two came here again, apparently wanting to seek an alliance, but in fact it was for the treasure map.

Zhuo Xiuyuan guessed that Wen Qi wanted to investigate his father's death, so he deliberately invited Bai Shi.He was confident that Bai Shi would not be able to find out the truth, and he also felt that Bai Shi could use the name of King Ping to make things go smoothly.Bai Shi was not clear about what happened back then, but he had something he wanted, so the two hit it off...

During this period, Zhuo Ziang noticed that Chun Xing was terrified when she saw his face change drastically, and guessed in her heart that she really knew what happened that night, so she followed him quietly.Chun Xing went to see Ruan Ying, Ruan Ying's profile looked familiar in the night, Zhuo Ziang thought of the person he knocked out that night...

So he pushed Ruan Ying into the lake.Finding that Ruan Ying can't swim, he was even more satisfied, and he didn't have to reach out to press it himself.Seeing that Ruan Ying was no longer struggling, he left in peace.

He was very shocked when he heard that Lu Li had rescued Ruan Ying, but when he heard that Ruan Ying had lost his memory, he felt relieved and planned to wait until the defense around Ruan Ying was not so strong before attacking.

He has no scruples about Chun Xing.He deliberately asked Chun Xing to pour wine for him, taking advantage of drinking too much, while disturbing her mind with his hands, while tying her up.

In the end, it was found out that Chun Xing really didn't know more, but Zhuo Ziang had also drunk too much carelessly, his whole body was dry and hot, and the drunkenness could not go away, so he quietly came to Chun Xing's room.

"In fact, she doesn't have to die, as long as she obeys me and be my person. I don't dislike her at such an age, but she dares to dislike me!" Zhuo Ziang gritted his teeth angrily.

Lu Li suddenly realized, "That's why you killed her. Because you were drunk at the time, your strength was insufficient, and you couldn't perform martial arts, so you strangled Chun Xing to death like an ordinary person."

Zhuo Ziang closed his eyes and nodded.

"Then that Wen Rang jumped out and said that Chun Xing was killed by him, and he also covered it up for you?" Shen Wansha patted the table afterward.

Zhuo Ziang nodded again, "I killed Chun Xing, and when I was walking back, I saw Wen Rang..."

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the room.

Wen Qi went to open the door and found it was Wen Jiuxian.Wen Jiuxian came here to report something: he checked with the maid who found Chun Xing's body, and there was a special spice smell in Zhuo Ziang's room, which was the same as that in the room the night Chun Xing died.

This is strong evidence... Then what Zhuo Ziang said just now should be true.

Lu Li asked some more about the case, but Zhuo Ziang didn't hide anything.

……

After the case was finished, He Lianyu knocked on the table and said casually, "So... what's the matter with the treasure map?"

Zhuo Ziang shook his head now, "I really don't know about that."

He didn't know where Zhuo Xiuyuan heard about the hidden treasure, and he also didn't know how Zhuo Xiuyuan was sure that the old castle owner was the one who got it. Zhuo Xiuyuan never told him about these things.

"I paid close attention to my father and saw him talking to a man in black with unknown origin, but I didn't dare to get close, because my father would definitely find out..." Zhuo Ziang said everything he knew, "My father didn't He said where did the news about the hidden treasure come from, but he said that the old castle owner owed the suzerain the life-saving grace, and he repaid it so easily, so he didn't need to pay attention to the Baibaolou because he did a great thing for the suzerain. It's related to the treasure map."

Hearing this, Lu Li was a little shocked, "This suzerain, but..."

Zhuo Ziang nodded, "That's right, it's the Sovereign Order around your neck."

So... Miao Hongxiao has something to do with Lu Shaoxuan's disappearance and the treasure map?

Lu Li was a little confused.

Zhao Zhu remembered that Lu Li didn't know everything about the treasure map... He held Lu Li's hand and whispered in his ear, "I will tell you about the treasure map in detail later."

Knowing that Zhao Zhu understood the matter, Lu Li suddenly became less anxious.

Things will always happen step by step, the truth will come to light, there is no use in worrying, just take your time.

……

Ask again, but Zhuo Ziang doesn't know more.

After listening, everyone had different expressions.

Shen Wansha was very interested in hidden treasures, He Lianyu patted his head and said that he would talk to him in detail later.

Regarding the treasure, He Lianyu has been looking for it for a long time, and most of the time he found nothing, he is used to it.Fortunately, the clues are coming out bit by bit. If it continues, there will always be good results. He is not in a hurry.

Zhao Zhu is not in a hurry either, what he is more anxious now is to be alone with Lu Li.

It's enough to be so busy as soon as we meet!King Ping's patience was almost exhausted.

As an ambitious person from the rivers and lakes, it is impossible for Wen Qi not to be curious about the mysterious treasure map, but he is ambitious, more intelligent, and knows what can be touched and what cannot be touched... So he didn't mention this at all. In order to avoid suspicion, he didn't even ask Zhuo Ziang to be handed over to kill his father. On the contrary, he smiled and said that the cook on the Zhuangzi was good. Today, the four of Pingwang and Pingwang have been busy for so long. After leaving the residence, exquisite meals will be delivered later.

Shen Wansha cheered, "Yo, delicious!"

……

But before eating, you have to wash up.Not to mention the smell of dead people on their bodies, just fighting in the hall, a lot of blood was splashed on everyone's clothes, which can be ignored when talking about business, but not when eating.

After seeing each other for such a long time, Shen Wansha really wanted to take a bath with Lu Li, but after reuniting for such a long time, Lu Li and Zhao Zhu haven't had a good conversation... Master take a bath!"

Shen Wansha scratched He Lianyu's face angrily, He Lianyu leaned into his ear and said such and such, Shen Wansha was startled, understood, and said goodbye to Lu Li with a smile, "Anyway, I have to take a bath every day, little Lizi will be with King Ping today, and then with me tomorrow!"

Then he patted He Lianyu's back very happily, "Drive! Hurry up, the young master can't wait!"

Before Lu Li had time to say goodbye, the figure of the young master disappeared before his eyes...

Zhao Zhu wanted to take a bath with Lu Li very much, but he had a hunch that his wife would not agree...Anyway, there was something going on in the hall, and he had to explain it, so he let Lu Li go first, and he came later.

The hidden guards followed around, and soldiers were also dispatched outside. Up to now, Zhao Zhu no longer worried about Lu Li's safety.

In the palm of his hand, if something can happen, he will not be king of Ping.

Lu Li thought for a while, said goodbye to him with a smile, and left alone.

Every time, it was Zhao Zhu who was doing things for him. This time, he wanted to show his sincerity.

He had to let Zhao Zhu know that he had him in his heart.

……

Zhao Zhu had been busy for a long time that day, and when he arrived at Lu Li's room, Lu Li was waiting for him.

There are two charcoal basins in the small room, which is very warm.The fire in the charcoal basin was burning very vigorously, and there was a faint "cracking" sound.There are wine cooking utensils on the charcoal fire, the water vapor is dense, and the wine is fragrant.

The window is open, and a crescent moon can be seen faintly. Under the moon, a branch of early plum blossoms, with bright red buds swaying slightly in the wind, its color is enchanting.

Lu Li was wearing a moon white tunic, leaning against the window with loose hair, watching the moon while lighting the charcoal fire.

Seeing him coming in, Lu Li tilted his head slightly.

"I have a gourd of wine, which can comfort the world." Lu Li picked up the hot wine in the wine vessel, with a bright smile, "Do you want to drink?"

Hu Weiwei said that in front of the person you like, you don't need to look left and right, just face yourself with the most authenticity.Don't think too much, take it seriously, love will become what you like, what suits you best...

This time, I will take a good look at you and hope to do something for you.

This time, let's start with a long conversation, okay?

Volume IX The Case of the Mission
