Chapter 499: Life and Death (Part 4)

He competed with Chu Li earlier because of Lu Yurong.

But now he has no thoughts on Lu Yurong, even if Lu Yurong took the initiative to marry him, he would not dare to ask for it. If such a female tyrant marries back home, he will not have a good day, so let others do it.

If Chu Li married her, it would be great, just to live a hard life.

As soon as this entanglement was gone, most of his hatred for Chu Li dissipated, and he was rescued by Chu Li, so he vented his resentment.

No matter how powerful Chu Li is, it is impossible for him to be the emperor, but he has a great chance of becoming the emperor, so why bother with him.

If there is no accident, I will become the prince in the future.

I should keep my ambitions high, and what I want to think about is how to become the emperor.

First of all, you must have strong enough martial arts, otherwise you will not survive to sit on the throne, and secondly, you must have enough intelligence and insight, and you must have enough connections.

The most important thing now is to avoid assassination, all of these together, the best choice is the frontier army.

Once the father sits on the throne, he will definitely not be a prince himself. If he wants to get ahead of them, he has to work hard now!

Thinking of these, he felt suddenly enlightened, and his heart opened up a lot.

After becoming an emperor, no matter how powerful someone is, he is only a subject under his rule. What does being an emperor compare to a subject?

"Go to the Duke's Mansion to stay for a year first, and then go to the border." King Jing said in a deep voice, "You should understand that when you get to the border, you can only change your name and surname, and no one can help you."

"Your martial arts are too weak, it's hard to achieve anything in the army." Lu Yurong said: "If you want to get ahead in the army, you must practice your martial arts well first!"

King Jing said in a deep voice, "Listen to your cousin!"

Leng Feng looked at Lu Yurong, saw her looking at him coldly, couldn't help feeling guilty, and reluctantly agreed: "Okay, listen to my cousin."

Concubine Lu breathed a sigh of relief: "You should listen to your cousin!...Yu Rong, if he is disobedient, you can beat him, as long as he doesn't die!"

Lu Yurong showed a slight smile: "Don't worry, aunt, we must teach him a lesson!"

"Mom!" Leng Feng shouted hastily.

Concubine Lu said: "Now I finally understand that it's not okay to be blindly spoiled. If he has practiced martial arts well, he won't have this calamity!"

"Yu Rong is also tired, go and rest." King Jing said, "Let him stay in the mansion for half a month."

"Okay." Lu Yurong nodded lightly.

She really didn't want to bring Leng Feng back to the house, if something happened again, she couldn't save him.

But until now, she couldn't abandon Leng Feng, otherwise her uncle would definitely have an opinion, thinking that she was killed and retreated.

She went back to her room and lay down on the couch, motionless, too lazy to recover.

The thunder and lightning, the earth-shattering scene before, can't get rid of in my mind.

Chu Li sat quietly at the table, calmly welcoming the thunder and lightning.

Thinking of this, a sour feeling suddenly rushed into her heart.

She suddenly understood that Chu Li always looked like he was holding the wisdom beads in his hands. He seemed to be fearless, and everything could not stop him. In fact, he was lonely in his heart, and he had always concealed it very well, but occasionally it would still show it inadvertently. .

Chu Li likes Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi is practicing in retreat, so he feels lonely?

It seems that it is not only that, simple lovesickness is not like this, he seems to be independent from the world, living alone in the world.

"Alas..." She sighed faintly, Chu Li was a mystery, she couldn't figure it out no matter what.

She suddenly smiled self-consciously, she really had leisure time, why did she want to see through him?

However, as a strong enemy, an opponent who can cooperate, one should see him through, so that he can cooperate with confidence.

She thought about this and fell asleep unconsciously.

——

Chu Li stepped on the dark soil, walking casually: "Where are the people in this house?"

"They're all dead." Yang Zongwen said, "They're all burned to death!"

"Yuanwailang's family members are also dead?" Chu Li frowned.

Yang Zongwen said: "It is said that the family members have already fled away!"

Chu Li nodded.

"Yuan Wai Lang's defection was premeditated." Yang Zongwen snorted, "It is likely that he escaped a month ago. His family members suddenly fell ill and have been bedridden for a month."

Chu Li pulled out the Dust Light Sword and threw it on the ground, a piece of jade pendant flew out of the soil.

This white jade pendant is as moist as soaking in water, and it has not been burned by fire. One can tell at a glance that it is not ordinary, and it is very precious.

Such a jade pendant would not belong to an ordinary person, it might be Yuanwailang himself.

He closed his eyes and began to activate his supernatural powers. After a while, he shook his head: "He's already dead!"

"Maybe someone else's." Yang Zongwen said.

Chu Li pondered for a moment, then sighed: "...let's look for it again."

He suddenly picked up a brick, the green brick was burnt beyond recognition, but it was still not broken, which shows the authenticity of the material used.

Under the blue brick is a dagger covered with bronze.

Chu Li pulled it out and took a look, and there was a chill in the snow.

"What a dagger!" Yang Zongwen praised it at the first glance.

Chu Li activated his supernatural powers, opened his eyes after a while, and found the owner of the dagger. It seemed that he had indeed escaped a long way.

Could it be that this is Yuanwailang's belongings?

Chu Li got up: "Okay!"

"Captain, just find this?" Yang Zongwen asked puzzled.

Chu Li said: "It's up to Dong Qifei, he found Zhou Yuanwailang's best friend, you go and help him, find out if Zhou Yuanwailang has any beloved gifts for friends, find them!"

"...Yes." Yang Zongwen nodded.

Chu Li said: "The sooner the better!"

"Yes!" Yang Zongwen said.

He left in a hurry.

Chu Li stood where he was, looking at the mansion.

He was very curious, what kind of power made a Yuanwailang treason, was it a family member, or something else? People are the most irresistible temptation of desire.

Not long after he returned to the small courtyard of the Wangfu, Dong Qifei and Yang Zongwen came to see him.

Leng Qiu and Leng Qing are practicing swords in the small courtyard, sweating profusely, but in good spirits.

"I found two things." Yang Zongwen presented a volume of books and an inkstone with both hands: "This is Yuanwailang's favorite, one is a rare copy from the former dynasty, and the other is an ancient inkstone from the former dynasty. Two Yuanwailang."

Chu Li took it, closed his eyes slightly, and began to use his supernatural powers.

His brows gradually wrinkled.

"Captain?" Seeing that his expression was not right, the two hurriedly asked.

Chu Li waved his hand.

The Heavenly Demon Orb in his heart fell, and the surging power immediately spread all over his body, as if a single punch could break the sky.

After re-activating the divine power, he picked up the dagger again.

After a while, he slowly put down the dagger.

The Heavenly Demon Orb condensed above the heart again, a faint sense of hunger came, and the previous feeling of being powerful and incomparable disappeared without a trace.

His face was serious and thoughtful.

Dong Qifei and Yang Zongwen stared at him without blinking.

"Can you find him?" The two asked cautiously.

Chu Li glanced at the two of them and shook his head.

"Can't you?" The two said disappointedly.

Chu Li stood up, pacing with hands behind his back, his thoughts turned, trying to find out what happened.
