Meng Yi looked at Lü Buwei and said coldly, "Prime Minister, are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"
"No, no, no! My eyes are blurry and I really didn't know that General Meng was here to capture the criminals. How about I help you catch them now? Those two bandits are injured and should not be able to escape far!" Lu Buwei said with a smile.
"No need, Prime Minister, please continue drinking. I can handle this matter myself." Meng Yi snorted coldly, led his men to search everywhere, and then went straight back to the palace, because he knew that no matter how carefully he searched, he might not be able to find the location of the criminal, because the other party must have been hidden by Lu Buwei, so it would be better to go back and report immediately.
In the palace of the Qin Empire, the emperor was reviewing memorials. When he heard the news that Meng Yi had returned, he immediately put down his pen and asked Zhao Gao to summon him.
"Meng Yi, how is the matter going?" the emperor asked anxiously.
"I am guilty. I had already captured Long Junhai, but suddenly a master in black came. I had just injured that master, but was stopped by Prime Minister Lu! I had no choice but to come back and take the blame!" Meng Yi said very ashamedly.
"It's Lu Buwei again! How did he know this news? Zhao Gao, have you made any progress in investigating the spies in the palace that I asked you to do recently?" asked the emperor.
"Reporting to the emperor, I have found 896 suspicious persons, but I dare not take any action without the emperor's decree, because these servants are also extraordinary in the harem, especially that Lao Ai. I usually respect him." Zhao Gao said nervously.
"I didn't expect there were so many traitors! Lao Ai is the Queen Mother's favorite, so I can't just act right away. Let's wait a little longer. When the time is right, I'll eliminate all these people! But I'm unwilling to give up! If Lao Ai knows the news, it means the Queen Mother knows the news, and if the Queen Mother knows the news, it means Lu Buwei knows the news! I shouldn't have let Long Junhai leave at that time. This move is a wrong one! One wrong step, and all the steps are wrong!"
The emperor overturned the table in anger, and all the memorials on it fell to the ground. But even so, he could not vent all his anger, and everything still needed to be waited for quietly!
Time passed day by day. On the surface, the emperor did not take any action. In fact, he was closely watching the news of Long Junhai. However, he could only find out the news at the door of Lu Buwei's house. He could not get in from inside. What should he do?
At this time, Long Junhai had been staying in Lu Buwei's house for half a month. During this half month, Lu Buwei treated Long Junhai with great respect, like a close friend, and did not dare to neglect him in the slightest. In addition, he was guarded by that god-level master day and night.
However, Long Junhai also knew in his heart that this was said to be a form of protection, but in fact it was a form of surveillance. Once Long Junhai had any second thoughts, he would probably be caught by the other party!
"Miss Leng, how is your injury?"
Long Junhai treated this god-level master very politely because the other party saved his life. Although he was in danger now, it was still much better than falling into the hands of the emperor.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Long. I have basically recovered. If you need anything, please let me know and I will report to the Prime Minister." The woman's name is Leng Yu. She is very beautiful, but has a cold personality. She basically doesn't talk and looks very quiet from beginning to end. She only speaks when Long Junhai takes the initiative to talk to her.
"As long as Miss Leng is not seriously injured, I will be relieved. By the way, how many years has Miss Leng been in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Does she have any close friends?" Long Junhai asked casually.
"I have always been alone. I grew up in the Prime Minister's Mansion since I was a child. It has been ten thousand years!" Leng Yu smiled, but still looked cold as ice. It is not possible to get into the heart of a woman like this with just a few words, so Long Junhai could only ask from a different angle. After all, the only breakthrough he could find now was Leng Yu. If he didn't get rid of this woman, he was afraid that he would have no way to escape.
"Miss Leng is truly amazing, as she has reached the divine realm in just ten thousand years!" Long Junhai said with a smile.
"It's nothing. It's just practicing by standing on the shoulders of others. If I don't have the godhood of a god, I won't be able to reach this level even if I am given another 100,000 years." Leng Yu said with a wry smile.
“There are many people who have obtained the godhood of gods, but those who can cultivate to the realm of gods within 100,000 years are extremely rare, let alone reaching the realm of gods within 10,000 years. Otherwise, there would be at least tens of thousands of gods in the Dongsheng Continent! So Miss Leng is an absolute cultivation genius!” Long Junhai continued to praise.
"So what if you have a fast cultivation speed? You are still like an ant. In front of others, you will always be an insignificant person." Leng Yu said with a sigh.
"Haha, if Miss Leng is a dispensable person, then my life is even more worthless." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Mr. Long is too modest. Anyone who is valued by the Prime Minister must be extraordinary. If you have no outstanding qualities, why would the Prime Minister let me save you?" Leng Yu asked back.
"Having said that, the actual situation is really hard to say! We are all miserable people, and it will only bring tears if we talk too much!" Long Junhai sighed, sat down and drank a cup of hot tea.
At this time, Lü Buwei pushed open the door and walked in. He said with a smile, "Leng Yu, have you treated Mr. Long unfairly?"
"Leng Yu dare not. Sir, you are the Prime Minister's distinguished guest. Leng Yu will fulfill any request you make!" Leng Yu said very seriously.
Lü Buwei smiled upon hearing this, and then said, "That's right, we must grant every request! Mr. Long is not an ordinary person, so we must treat him with caution. Mr. Long, are you accustomed to living in my humble abode?"
"Of course I'm used to it! If the Prime Minister hadn't rescued me, I would probably have become the emperor's prisoner." Long Junhai said bluntly.
Lu Buwei smiled upon hearing this, and then said, "The Emperor is young and impatient. Even though he has cultivated to the peak of the Heavenly God, he is still like this. You should also know that the Emperor has never used his godhood. Everything he has achieved is obtained through cultivation step by step. But now he has encountered a bottleneck and has been unable to break through to the Divine King realm. So there is a flaw in his heart. Even he himself does not know what this flaw is, but everyone else can see it clearly. Therefore, if the Emperor cannot overcome this knot in his heart, he will always be trapped in his current realm. And if the Emperor does not break through to the Divine King realm, Mr. Long will never be able to use the teleportation array to enter the Zhongzhou Continent!"
Long Junhai was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the other party already knew his purpose. This Lu Buwei was really not simple! He really knew him very well!
