Chapter 777 Finale (VIII)
The cat replaces the prince.
When the first knock on the door sounded, he pulled Xu Suisui into the compartment to change clothes.
This was the only possible way to break the impasse that Li Zimu could think of in just a few dozen breaths.
There is no doubt that this move is a big gamble.
After all, Lu Hongji must have seen Xu Suisui's portrait, and she didn't look that much like the latter.
But apart from this, Li Zimu really couldn't think of any other way to save Xu Suisui.
So she could only gamble.
And judging from the current situation, she actually won the bet.
In just a hundred breaths, she transformed from a common woman into an empress, and she accomplished all this while the enemy knew her appearance.
This may seem incredible at first glance, but it is actually not too exaggerated.
There was no photography technology in those days, and portraits would be more or less "distorted" due to the subjective factors of the painter.
What's more, Lu Hongji probably just took a few glances at it, so his impression would definitely not be very deep.
And on the other hand, although they don't look alike, Li Zimu and Xu Suisui are both good-looking, so the difference is not that big.
In addition, the two men were of similar height and build, and neither had practiced cultivation. To put it bluntly, the difference between the two was not enough for a stranger to tell the difference at a glance.
The most important thing is that Lizimu makes good use of people's preconceived instincts.
Imagine if you were Lu Hongji. Knowing that Xu Suisui was in the compartment, you saw a woman in royal robes, whose words and actions were like those of an empress. Would you suspect that she was someone else in disguise?
Obviously, except for a very small number of people, most people will not have such "inexplicable" doubts.
It is precisely because of this that Tang Chen and Shen Ran are so surprised now.
Because they didn't expect it either.
“.”
With eyes wide open and breathing rapidly, Tang Chen stared at Li Zimu, unable to even feel the severe pain in his body.
He was not stupid, so he naturally understood the purpose of Li Zimu's actions.
But he also understood the cost.
After all, Li Zimu is not Xu Suisui, and her identity will be discovered by Lu Hongji sooner or later.
By then, Li Zimu's only fate would be death.
Even life is worse than death.
His eyes gradually became painful. There was no doubt that Tang Chen definitely didn't want Li Zimu to suffer any harm.
But how could he expose this "scam"? After all, once he said it, he would be throwing the overall situation aside. He clenched his teeth and clenched his hands.
Tang Chen struggled immensely in his heart, an unprecedented feeling of powerlessness filling his entire body.
At the same time, Lu Hongji, who had been silent for a moment, spoke again: "Prince Feng, I have given you enough face, so shouldn't you also fulfill what you just said?"
“It’s natural.”
Without looking at Tang Chen and Shen Ran, Li Zimu looked at Lu Hongji calmly and nodded slightly: "I will go with you."
The golden skirt swayed slightly, and as she spoke, Li Zimu had already walked towards the door.
In fact, she was fully capable of delaying a little longer.
But she didn't do that.
Because the sooner she leaves, the lower the possibility of her being exposed, and the safer Xu Suisui will be accordingly.
So, Li Zimu didn't say a word and quickly walked close to Lu Hongji.
But at this moment, the latter frowned and took a half step back.
"etc!"
“.”
The air around him suddenly froze, and these two words made Li Zimu's heartstrings suddenly tighten.
Fortunately, Lu Hongji didn't notice anything.
He winked at a man in black, then said to Li Zimu in a deep voice: "Feng Wang, I am a cautious person, please search me first."
"I'm sorry."
search.
There was nothing wrong with this action, and Li Zimu's heartstrings gradually relaxed.
However, she still pretended to look disgusted and glanced at the man in black, and shouted in a low voice:
"Since I said I would go with you, I will not break my promise!"
"Haha, Feng Wang, let's search it."
Lu Hongji shook his head unmoved: "Otherwise I won't feel at ease."
"you!"
Staring at Lu Hongji, Li Zimu's chest heaved violently, as if he had suffered some great humiliation.
Of course, she is still pretending now, and her purpose is naturally to maintain the "personality" of the empress.
However, this scene gave Tang Chen a different feeling.
His eyes gradually turned red and his body trembled slightly.
Watching the man in black approaching Li Zimu step by step, Tang Chen suddenly closed his eyes at some point.
When he opened his eyes again, the dark tapir appeared beside him in front of Shen Ran's astonished gaze.
His fingers trembled, and the horror in Shen Ran's eyes was even more intense than when he saw Li Zimu just now.
However, Tang Chen no longer cared about what he thought. He just stared at the man in black who was about to search Li Zimu's body, and then suddenly bit his tongue.
In an instant, blood gushed out from the corners of his mouth, mixing with the blood he had just vomited due to his injury.
As for the man in black that he was staring at , his body suddenly froze, like a puppet with its strings cut, or as if he had suddenly lost his soul.
The man in black suddenly stood still in full view of everyone, then turned around slowly with empty eyes, drew the sword from his waist, and pointed it at Lu Hongji, observing his mind and reading his heart.
This is Tang Chen’s “Heavenly Divine Ability” that Wei Changtian already knew.
However, the latter has another move that he has never used in front of Wei Changtian.
This move is actually the most exaggerated ability that Tapir has given to Tang Chen, called "mind control".
As the name suggests, the purpose of mind control is naturally to control others.
The effect sounds amazing, let alone seeing it with your own eyes.
Therefore, when everyone saw the man in black turning the knife and preparing to chop towards Lu Hongji, they all widened their eyes in disbelief.
But in the next second, the other three men in black suddenly came to their senses and immediately flashed to Lu Hongji's side, ready to kill this companion who suddenly betrayed them for unknown reasons.
But before they could take any action, Lu Hongji waved his hand first.
"Wait a moment."
With a light shout, Lu Hongji did not retreat but instead walked forward under the slightly nervous gazes of the four people, and walked directly in front of the man in black who looked like a walking corpse.
Then, he just stood there, motionless, watching the long sword fall very slowly bit by bit . To be honest, if you don't know what's happening, you might think it's a slow motion scene in a movie.
After all, the speed of the long sword was too slow. It was hard to say whether it could cut off Lu Hongji's hair, let alone hurt him.
And this is indeed the case.
A few breaths later, when the long knife finally landed on Lu Hongji's shoulder, it didn't even cut the latter's clothes.
In the corner, a candle that was about to burn out was flaming, as if making its last struggle.
"snort."
With a cold snort, Lu Hongji casually threw away the long sword and turned to look at Tang Chen who was lying on the ground.
At some point, two lines of blood and tears appeared in the latter's eyes, making his face look exceptionally pale.
But Tang Chen still stared at the man in black with his bloodshot eyes, even though his breath was becoming weaker and weaker at a very fast speed.
Obviously, "mind control" is not without limitations.
And what Tang Chen was doing now had undoubtedly exceeded this limit . The secret room was completely silent for a moment, with only the joints of the controlled man in black still making slight noises, and the sound of blood dripping to the ground.
No longer looking at Tang Chen who was still struggling in vain like a candle flame, Lu Hongji suddenly turned his head to look at Li Zimu and said with a most mocking tone:
"By the king."
"You are quite interesting, you dead warrior."
