"Your Highness, please reconsider..."
Wang Yanzhang thought that even if you weren't taking him, you shouldn't have brought Jian Hun along. That guy had tried to assassinate you before, and now he's suddenly come to your aid; his credibility is questionable…
"Don't worry, everything will be fine..."
Li Zhu said casually, "Since Jian Hun's wife and daughter were saved by his mother, they will definitely do their best to make Jian Hun obedient, so I believe Jian Hun won't harm me..."
After agreeing on their plans, under the cover of night, Li Zhu and Jian Hun followed behind Xiao Baga towards Taiyuan Prefecture…
Li Zhu kept glancing back, and only when he saw Xuan Tian's figure did he breathe a sigh of relief. With that, he was finally at ease…
Little Baka arrived at a secluded corner of the city wall and then emitted a special insect chirping sound towards it. Soon, the same chirping sound came from inside the city, accompanied by a unique rhythm. The two of them seemed to be exchanging secret signals, and after repeating the sound several times, they saw a rope being thrown down from the city wall.
Seeing this, Li Zhu's expression changed slightly. If the Jin soldiers could let people into the city so easily, then it was possible that the same thing could happen in the cities he managed...
In large-scale battles, a place where only a few people can pass through won't affect the overall situation. However, if the goal is assassination, such a loophole is fatal; a few people only need to enter the city to achieve the objective...
Little Baka used the rope to leap up the city wall in a few bounds, and he and his contact quickly disappeared above the wall...
After the group left, Li Zhu snorted coldly, determined to prevent such incidents from ever happening again in his city. Otherwise, if someone sneaked in, they wouldn't even know how they died…
Taking advantage of the fact that the area was unguarded, Li Zhu, along with Arrow Soul, used their lightness skills to reach the city walls...
The entire city wall was eerily quiet, without a sound, except for the faint murmur of soldiers chatting in the distance…
Following the marks left by the little rascal, the two passed through an alley. Looking at the empty surroundings, Li Zhu couldn't help but frown...
I wondered if Little Baka had betrayed me? That wasn't impossible; after all, I'd treated him so well, it wouldn't be surprising if he turned against me…
However, Li Zhu suddenly looked towards the eaves not far away. Normally, there was no one there, but Li Zhu sensed that someone was there, and it was Xiao Baga...
This made Li Zhu look at the Japanese ninjutsu with new respect; he hadn't expected it to fool his eyes...
"You little idiot, if you don't come out soon I'm going to take action..."
"My lord, you have excellent eyesight; you noticed that..."
Little Baka's figure seemed to appear there suddenly, even Arrow Soul showed an expression of disbelief, he hadn't even sensed anyone there...
"If I can't find you, does that mean you've betrayed me?"
Li Zhu stared at the little baka and coldly questioned him!
This caused Xiao Baga's expression to change instantly, because that was exactly what he had been thinking. Submitting to the strong was a deeply ingrained idea in their hearts, but if the master they submitted to was weaker than themselves, then the inherent flaws in the Japanese people would completely erupt, and they would turn around and bite their master...
"My lord, I was wrong. I shouldn't have harbored disloyal thoughts..."
Hearing the little idiot's words, which were tantamount to an admission, Li Zhu looked at him coldly and said...
"I can give you one more chance to rebel against me, but remember my patience is limited. Once I've used up my chances, you should know what the consequences will be. I don't show any mercy to my enemies..."
Hearing Li Zhu's words, Xiao Baga became even more terrified. He knew that Li Zhu was testing him, and that the opportunity was just an excuse to take his life. So he hurriedly kowtowed repeatedly, saying...
"My lord, please calm your anger. Little Baka will always be your most loyal dog, woof woof..."
The Arrow Soul next to him was completely dumbfounded, feeling like his CPU was about to burn out, unable to understand what kind of combination this was.
One who knows the other party has rebellious intentions, yet still keeps them as his lackey, seemingly expecting the other party to turn against him?
Why would someone who is clearly an extraordinary master choose to be a dog who is always ready to turn against his master?
Li Zhu nodded in satisfaction, but his gaze towards the little bastard was sharp. If the boy weren't still useful, he really wouldn't mind killing him...
"Remember, you have one more chance to retaliate against me. You'd better seize it. This time, I'll let it go. Lead the way..."
Li Zhu spoke calmly, and Xiao Baga immediately stood up respectfully and led the way...
The three individuals were capable of appearing and disappearing without a trace, so, after deliberately lying in wait, they quickly arrived at the Li family's gate...
The entire gate was very grand, with a gilded plaque hanging above it bearing the two large characters "Li Mansion"...
Two large stone lions stood imposingly on either side of the main gate…
It was already late at night, but there were still many people coming and going from the Li family's residence, which showed how deeply rooted the Li family was in Taiyuan...
It makes sense. The previous dynasty ruled for three hundred years, and the Li family has thrived here for three hundred years thanks to the legacy of that dynasty. It's estimated that the Li family members alone are enough for them to act arrogantly and domineeringly here...
"I wonder if the Li family is hosting some kind of banquet; normally there wouldn't be this many people at this time..."
Hearing what the little rascal said, Li Zhu listened intently, and then realized that the people coming and going from the Li family home were actually related to him...
News of Zhu Yougui's defeat had already reached Taiyuan Prefecture, and anyone with any influence knew about it...
Li Zhu was the crown prince of the new Tang Dynasty. His family was a branch of the previous dynasty's Li family. In fact, Li Zhu's father was a subject of the previous dynasty's Li family. In the eyes of these people, the fact that the Taiyuan Li family had been able to remain in power for so long must mean that they had some connection with the new Tang Dynasty's Li family...
Otherwise, why didn't the new Tang dynasty kill these remnants of the previous dynasty?
Therefore, these people wanted to cling to the Li family, hoping to have a way out so that they could have a chance to survive if the city fell...
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in Li Zhu's line of sight, and he recognized Qinglu at a glance...
Despite her attempts to disguise herself, Li Zhu still recognized her…
Beside her was Zhu Yougui; the two entered the Li residence one after the other…
How did she end up here? Where is Master Xun?
Li Zhu stroked his chin, sensing that things were not simple. Perhaps he had come to the right place today; he was sure to make a remarkable discovery...
"Little idiot, they're having a banquet. Can you go in?"
Li Zhu looked at the little bastard and asked…
"That's not a problem. I'm quite familiar with the eldest son of the Li family patriarch..."
"Let's go inside..."
After speaking, Li Zhu made some adjustments to his appearance to avoid being recognized at a glance...
Arrow Soul was also helpless. He had tricked Zhu Yougui into opening the city gate, and if Zhu Yougui recognized him, he would probably kill him first. So he could only use his internal energy to change his appearance...
