1007. Clues (Second Update)
"It's better for you and me to be honest," Li Liang said: "I'm very grateful to you for saving me from Duanmu Huangqi. To be honest, I already knew that I was going to die. Duanmu Huangqi has killed less than 8,000 people over the years. Wan, I am Li Liang, if you don't save me, my fate will be the same as Duanmu Yun'ai."
Lu Shu said politely: "This is life-saving grace."
"..." Li Liang was choked for a long time. Your expression really didn't match your words. He cleared his mind and continued: "But I have no use value anymore, right? My money is gone, and my strength is gone." No more, what else do you want me to do?"
Lu Shu laughed happily and said: "I have something I want to tell you, but if you don't agree with my proposal after hearing it, you may die. Even if I don't kill you, at least you will lose your freedom temporarily. Are you willing? ?”
Li Liang was stunned. It was rare for Lu Shu to say something seriously. The other party didn't say anything specific at all. He just let Li Liang make the bet. It was unclear what the result would be if he won the bet, but if he lost the bet, he was stunned. He's going to die!
How should he choose?
Li Liang suddenly sighed: "What's the difference between me now and my death? I listen to you!"
"Ahem, let's forget it for now. Let's wait until you recover from your injuries." Lu Shu suddenly felt that something was wrong. He always felt that the Marrow Cleansing Fruit was a bit strange after all. After looking at the earth and Lu Zhou, it turned out that I have never found anything in the world that has the same effect as the marrow-cleansing fruit.
There may be controversy about other things in this world, but there is a consensus that there is no cure after the foundation is severed. Once the foundation is severed, there is no cure.
Lu Shu once asked Zhang Weiyu about this matter, but Zhang Weiyu didn't seem to know that there was such a method.
Of course, even though Zhang Weiyu is the leader of the inner palace, he may not know everything. For example, he does not know what the plan of the person who saved them was. So in fact, Lu Shu knew that Yun Yi and Hu Zhi might still be hiding a lot of things. With Zhang Weiyu and others.
But Lu Shu did not dare to try to reveal this secret to Lu Zhou, because Lu Shu had always had a worry in his heart that he had never told anyone else.
However, at this moment, Li Liang almost collapsed. The hope he had just raised was crushed by Lu Shu. Is it ridiculous?
Li Liang's face turned dark: "Please tell me something nice, or not, I, Li Liang, am willing to be your slave, as long as you give me a way to live!"
Lu Shu shook his head: "I don't accept anyone as a slave. This is my principle."
Yi Qianqian made a pointer to the side: "We are all vying to be the King's slaves and we can't even get the chance. Why do you, a newcomer, become the King's slave?"
Li Liang was shocked at that time: "Are you all crazy?!"
"The negative emotion value from Li Liang is +666!"
Are there still people in this world fighting to be slaves? Li Liang found it a bit hard to believe that even the first-class guest ministers under Duanmu Huangqi were not willing to be the slaves of the Emperor of Heaven. Under normal circumstances, half of the first-class masters under the Emperor of Heaven were slaves trained by him, and the other half were guest ministers. Of course, , guests are definitely not treated as well as slaves. This is actually similar to the principle between civilians and ordinary slaves, because slaves are their own private property.
This is true for even the first rank, not to mention the great masters recruited by the Emperor of Heaven.
Lu Shu suddenly asked: "How many great masters does Huang Qi have under Duanmu? Do they all listen to him?"
"There used to be two, and they were promoted to the third recently," Li Liang sighed: "You may not believe it, but this newly promoted grand master is actually the slave of Duanmu Huangqi. If I were that grand master, I would probably have a weak heart now. I’m so sorry that after becoming a great master, I still have to be someone else’s slave.”
Lu Shu shook his head: "Although I have a grudge against Duanmu Huangqi, that's not what he said. Without Duanmu Huangqi's resources, this person might not be able to be promoted to Grand Master, so this is just a matter of his own choice. It's a bit difficult to handle, This Duanmu Emperor Qifang is actually as powerful as four great masters? Isn't this comparable to Jianlu?"
"That's not necessarily the case," Li Liang denied: "The realm of the senior brother in Jianlu is already unpredictable, and the great master of Jianlu is born to kill. Ordinary great masters are no match at all. You haven't seen it. Well, when Duanmu Huangqi aimed at Lu Shu, he had ten breaths of momentum, and the senior brother killed him with one sword."
"You mean that Duanmu Huangqi can't beat that senior brother Jianlu, right," Lu Shu said.
"It's hard to say. This Duanmu Huangqi is very scheming and suspicious. Maybe he is still testing. There must be hidden elements in it." Li Liang shook his head and said: "Actually, you don't realize the most serious problem. Duanmu Huangqi cherishes his life. There is a reason why he survived many wars back then, so you see that he has entered the royal city now and even dares to confront Jianlu... I suspect that there are other emperors behind Emperor Duanmu supporting him!"
"Wait a minute, why is it the Emperor of Heaven and not the one from the Divine King's Palace?" Lu Shu asked curiously.
"Not to mention that the God King doesn't look down on this level of fighting at all, let's just say that the abnormalities in the God King Palace in recent years have been very strange." Li Liang said and looked at Yi Qian: "In the past ten years, have you seen that person?" The new king? Where has she gone? Is she still in the Palace of the God King?"
Yi Qian was stunned when he asked this question: "I really haven't seen it before, but..."
Yi Qian didn't finish what he said because Li Liang didn't know his identity as Yulong Banzhi. Therefore, he couldn't say that the Yulong Banzhi had been treating the person in the Divine King's Palace as an imaginary enemy. If Li Liang really followed what Li Liang said, wouldn't it subvert their previous understanding?
This is crushing!
However, Li Liang said at this time: "When the old God King was here, he would ask all places to send memorials every month. However, after the throne was replaced, the God King Palace abolished this rule, so..."
Li Liang holds a high position in Xizhou, so he knows more than Yi Qian, a lonely ghost. Although Yi Qian can buy information, how can the truly supreme court be spied on by them? But Li Liang is different. He has been exposed to a lot of things in Xizhou in the past, and his classmates from Taixue are all over the yamen in the royal city, so he must be well-informed.
So the more Li Liang said, the more Lu Shu frowned. Is something big going to happen to Lu Zhou?
"Emperor Duanmu has been doing too many weird things recently," Li Liang suddenly said, "Actually, I only discovered one thing after my defeat. The invasion of Nanzhou by the Black Feather Army was a pretense, and the so-called reward of ten cities was nothing more than a cover. It's just bait to make everyone work hard. He has been stationing heavy troops at the border between Xizhou and Nanzhou. But what I find confusing is that he doesn't seem to be fully invading Nanzhou. Instead, after the black feather army attracted Nanzhou's attention, But he put his mind on another place, which is not too far from the border but has nothing."
Lu Shu was stunned for a moment: "Why are you still gathering so many troops when you don't have anything?"
"I didn't know," Li Liang sighed, "He didn't tell me the details this time. It's probably because my defeat affected his plan that he was so angry."
Lu Shu suddenly felt as if he was in a gray mist. What was in the mist had always been a mystery. However, as he blended into Lu Zhou more and more, the gray mist in front of him began to melt away little by little, revealing the ferocious figure inside. Come on.

There will be another chapter later, I recommend reading it tomorrow morning...
