Chapter 384 Doubt

"It's almost 3 p.m., Yue'er, do you want to go out and take a look?"

Su Yue nodded: "Let's go out and take a look. We haven't shown up for so long, and we're afraid it will arouse suspicion."

"good."

Murong Li didn't care. Based on his understanding of an emperor, he would not care about paying out so much gold at any time. Even if he agreed verbally, he would not be willing to do so in his heart. He would not fulfill his promise until the last moment and would most likely refuse to pay.

Of course, he didn't just say he was going to default on the debt, but he was delaying it indefinitely with various excuses. It just so happened that there were thefts in the capital and the palace, so he had even more excuses.

Maybe they would even say that the national treasury was stolen.

But he can't be allowed to default on his debt.

The two stood up, straightened their clothes simply, and Su Yue and Murong Li slipped out.

"not good."

As soon as they came out, they found themselves in a fire and were immediately engulfed by thick smoke.

“Cough cough cough…”

The two of them were almost suffocated.

"Yuer, come in quickly."

In just a few breaths, they were both on fire, and the scorching fire swept over their bodies. Murong Li slapped himself and shouted.

“Cough cough cough…”

Su Yue coughed violently a few times and quickly took Murong Li back to the space.

“Huff, huff, huff…”

As soon as the two entered the space, Murong Li held Su Yue and rolled on the ground for a few times before the fire on his body was put out. The two of them lay on the ground gasping for breath.

"Yuer, how is it?"

Murong Li asked anxiously and quickly got up to check Su Yue's body.

The originally beautiful person now looked like she was pulled out of a stove, with all the white turned black, which made Murong Li feel very distressed.

That old bastard, let's see how he deals with him.

How could a fire be started if it wasn't set intentionally on such a snowy day?

They thought that the dog emperor just wanted to shirk his debt, but he didn't expect that he wanted to kill them.

Good, the Dog Emperor pissed him off.

"Ahem... I'm fine. I never thought the Eastern Phoenix Emperor would be so despicable as to want to burn us to death."

Su Yue waved her hands and coughed heavily a few times. The thick smoke choked her lungs and made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She said hatefully.

"Don't be angry yet, take a shower and change your clothes first."

Murong Li said this, picked up Su Yue and returned to the villa, where they took a bath and changed clothes.

In just a short while, both of their hair were burnt into curls and their clothes were burnt into pieces. Fortunately, they were wearing thick clothes, so only their outer clothes were burnt into pieces.

After Su Yue washed herself, she found that her face was a little burned. She was so angry that she said that if she didn't raze the palace of Emperor Dongfeng to the ground after she got out, she would not be called Su Yue.

Looking at Su Yue's face, it was burned. Her originally fair and tender face was now red, and the skin on both sides of her cheeks was burned.

Murong Li was furious. He quickly went to the pharmacy to get some ointment, gently applied it on the patient, and asked distressedly, "Do you feel better?"

He was reluctant to touch Su Yue even with a fingernail, and this Dong Fenghuang actually dared to set fire to them. He was really courting death.

Murong Li put away the ointment with a gloomy face. He had originally planned to let the Dongfeng Kingdom go, but they actually dared to set fire to the two of them. He must teach them a profound lesson.

Su Yue's mouth twitched. This wasn't some magic pill that could just be applied and it would be fine. She said, "It feels cooler and it doesn't hurt as much anymore."

"Um."

Murong Li held her gently in his arms and began to think about how to teach Dongfeng Kingdom a lesson.

"Yuer, do you think we should kill Dong Fenghuang or spare his life for now?"

If you don't want Emperor Dongfeng to make trouble again, the most direct way is to kill him. The prince is now seriously injured. If Emperor Dongfeng dies, other princes will definitely take the opportunity to seize the throne. The prince and the princes will all fight for the throne, so how can they have time to take care of Xifeng Kingdom?

After that, they will plunder the Dongfeng Kingdom and make sure that the country is so poor that it can't even afford to eat, and they will never come to attack other countries again.

Su Yue shook her head: "Let's spare his life for now. I won't let him off so easily this time. He actually set fire to both of us. How can I let that one million taels of gold go unpunished? I must double it.

Our two lives are worth at least a million taels of gold, so that's two million taels of gold. Then I'll go and plunder them, and I believe they won't be able to cause any more trouble."

Murong Li smiled. Yue'er and he had the same idea, both wanting to make Dongfeng Nation poor again. He said, "That's a good idea. Only when a blunt knife cuts flesh will it hurt. Let him have a taste of pain."

Su Yue said playfully, "Yeah, if he dies, everything will be over. He won't know anything. Why should we let him off so easily? Letting him live a life worse than death would make him feel better. That would be a relief."

"Uh-huh."

Seeing her like this, Murong Li felt better.

The two were discussing in the space how to deal with Emperor Dong Feng, while the shadow guards outside saw that the fire had gradually died down. It was already dark at this time, but they still had not seen the figures of Prince Li and the other two, and had not even heard any cries for help.

Murong Liren had only been out for a few breaths, and was in the middle of a fire and surrounded by thick smoke, so they naturally couldn't see him.

A shadow guard pursed his lips and said, "Do you think they are not in the inn?"

Another shadow guard shook his head. "They were about to leave this morning, but were stopped and taken back by the Imperial Guards. We saw them there too. We haven't seen them leave since then. There's no tunnel in the inn, so they can't get out from the back."

It's because they have been lurking behind us. If we want to come out from behind, we can't escape their surveillance.

"That's strange."

"Let's go back and report to the master, and let him make the decision." said a shadow guard.

"Okay then, you go back alone, and we'll all stay here and watch."

"Then I'll go back. You guys stay here and keep in touch." said the shadow guard who spoke first.

The other five nodded, and then the shadow guard disappeared in the snow and ice in a flash.

In the palace, Dong Fenghuang was feeling very happy. Now that Murong Li and Su Yue were dead, he wouldn't have to pay the one million taels of gold, and he had also eliminated a big threat. Who could resist him when he attacked Xifeng Kingdom in the future?

Hahaha……

Emperor Dong Feng really wanted to laugh out loud.

After being happy, he felt hungry. When he was about to ask the imperial kitchen to serve food, the shadow guard came back.

"Greetings, Master."

The shadow guard immediately knelt down to pay his respects.

"Get up and talk. They didn't run out, did they?"

Emperor Dongfeng waved to the shadow guard and said in a friendly manner, thinking that the shadow guard came to tell him the good news.

"My Lord, the posthouse has been reduced to ruins, but strangely, we never saw them in the fire, nor did we hear them calling for help.

We have been guarding there from this morning till now, and we haven't seen them come out.

We felt that this matter was a little strange, so we returned to report to our master."

The shadow guard told the truth without hiding anything from Emperor Dong Feng.

They are the shadow guards of Emperor Dong Feng and also his death warriors. They live only for Emperor Dong Feng in this life, so they will not tell a lie.
