Chapter 187: Confident Li Zi (2)
A favor from Li Zi?
Lu Yi really wanted to ask Li Zi whether it was true that he was once slapped in the face by those hostages from the princes in the lobby of the Honglu Temple.
But these words were too harsh and Lu Yi couldn't say them.
There's no deep hatred, right?
Flicking the lid of the teacup with his fingers, Lu Yi looked at Li Zi and said softly, "Master Li's favor... is not bad. But is there anything unusual about that house?"
Lu Yi looked at Li Zi, wanting to see if he would tell the truth.
Li Zi frowned slightly, thought for a while, smiled and shook his head: "What could be unusual? It's just that Erya has developed feelings for the place, and he thinks that the place is much better than his official residence in Kunpeng Square."
'Living here brings out the emotions'!
Are you trying to fool the ghost?
Lu Yi smiled and shook his head: "Forget it, forget it, it's not a big deal. Since it's Lord Li who wants it, then, give it to Lord Li. I'll inform the prison officer, it's just a house, it's not a big deal."
The purpose of the Yushunfang Investigation Office's existence is to cause trouble for Bai Changkong. I don't know why Yinyuan is so bitter and resentful towards him.
But Bai Changkong's entire family was wiped out, so the meaning of the Yushunfang Survey Office's existence was gone.
It's just a house, Yu Changle didn't spend much effort to get it, so he probably doesn't take it seriously. If Li Zi wants it, then give it to him.
Li Zi coughed lightly: "It's just that the house prices in Yushunfang are high."
Lu Yi was stunned.
What are you talking about?
The housing prices in Yushunfang are high? Does that mean you can’t afford it or don’t want to?
What a joke! If it was Lu Yi's private residence, and if Li Zi and Lu Yi had a close enough relationship, then it would be fine to transfer the house to him at a low price, or even just give it to him as a gift.
But how could Li Zi and Lu Yi have such a good relationship?
This house is the public property of the Palace Guards and cannot be transferred privately.
"Master Li, this is meaningless." Lu Yi's voice turned cold: "The house in Yushunfang is indeed very expensive. But, didn't something happen here a few days ago? I guess the price of that house will be much lower."
Li Zi put his hands into his sleeves and looked at Lu Yi with a sad face: "It's true, I'm too tight on money and can't come up with any. The Honglu Temple is a clean government, and I've always been honest and upright..."
"Stop!" Lu Yi raised his right hand: "Shut up. Honest and incorruptible? Haha, Bai Changkong said he was incorruptible. I don't believe you don't know who the real owner of the stolen money I seized in Wuyinfang is."
Li Zi looked at Lu Yi with a bit of annoyance: "Lord Tianyang, please don't compare me with that old thief Bai Changkong. I originally had some savings, but these days, I've been spending money like water..."
Lu Wu interrupted Li Zi and said, "What does it have to do with me? The house is right there. If you pay, I will inform the prison. If you don't have money, then... please go back!"
Lu Yi reached out to grab the teacup, wanting to serve tea to the guest.
"A favor from me..." Li Zi stood up and looked at Lu Yi solemnly.
"Your favor is nothing to me." Lu Yi picked up the teacup and said, "Master Li, please go back. I can't help you with this matter."
Li Zi's ten fingers moved slightly. He looked at Lu Yi and said coldly, "Lord Tianyang really won't help with this?"
Lu Yi was so angry that he started laughing: "Master Li, why do you think I want to do you this favor? I want to help you ask the warden for a house and sell the public property of the Shougong Ward to a private person. That's all, but you even want me to pay for it?"
Li Zi frowned and said, "Given the status of Lord Tianyang in His Majesty's heart, this house is just a matter of a word."
Lu Yi angrily said: "That's my house too, why should I give it to you!"
Li Zi said proudly: "It's a favor from me!"
Lu Yu pursed his lips tightly. This was a twisted statement. Li Zi had a very good self-esteem. If he continued to pester her like this, Lu Yu no longer knew how to communicate with him normally.
"Forget it, please go back. You can do whatever you want with this house. You can go to the emperor or the eunuch. Anyway, it's just a house with six entrances. It's in Yushunfang where a bloody incident just happened. Maybe you can get a 50% or 70% discount... You can do it."
Lu Yi picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, put it down, stood up and waved his hand, obviously not wanting to talk to Li Zi anymore.
It was just, so early in the morning, so inexplicable.
When Li Zi was slapped in the face by those princes and hostages in previous years , no one expected him to be such a twisted person?
" Lord Tianyang really won't help with this?" Li Zi's body shook, and a breeze passed by, blocking Lu Yi. He looked at Lu Yi coldly and said coldly: "Don't regret it!"
Lu Yi looked at Li Zi in astonishment. Who are these people?
You came here to ask for help, how did that become a threat?
"I, don't, regret it!" Lu Yi rolled up his sleeves and looked at Li Zi with a half-smile: "What? Lord Li, are you going to beat me up? Haha, don't forget, I'm the palace guard, responsible for supervising all officials."
"The mission His Majesty gave me was originally to monitor Bai Changkong. Now he has killed his entire family. Lord Li, do you want to experience what it feels like to be closely protected by the Palace Guardian and be his face-to-face neighbor?"
Li Zi sneered proudly: "Why should I be afraid? Lord Tianyang really won't help me with this?"
Lu Yi sighed.
Li Zi has changed.
The changes are too great.
He used to be cautious and prudent in the court. How cute was he back then?
But now...why is it so inflated?
Lu Yi shook his head and shouted, "Show him away!"
Ah Hu, carrying a heavy demon-subduing pestle, and Yu Dian Hu, holding a long sword, walked out from the left and right of the lobby. Ah Hu muttered in a muffled voice, "Old man Li, Brother Yi is here to see you off. Do you want to leave by yourself, or do you want us to see you off?"
Li Zi's fingers twitched.
He looked at Lu Yi, then at Ah Hu, and suddenly laughed: "Mr. Tianyang, take a look at what I have done, and then make a decision... It is better to have one more friend than one more enemy. Especially an enemy like me. No one wants to have an enemy like me."
Li Zi smiled, his body shook, his real body remained in the same place, while another figure had already arrived in front of Ah Hu.
In the lobby, Lu Yi was the Duke of Tianyang appointed by the Emperor. He had a noble status and was not easily moved.
Yu Dianhu was wearing the armor of General Shenwu, who was the face of the emperor. Although it was awarded to Lu Yi to serve as a guard of honor, it still symbolized the emperor's majesty, and he was not easy to move.
As for Ah Hu, he was just wearing an ordinary white robe of a palace guard.
He was just a white-robed guard, so he could be killed. Would Lu Yi get really angry because of Ah Hu and himself?
The erratic figure lightly grabbed Ah Hu's heart with a palm.
Ah Hu roared, swung the demon-subduing pestle, and hit the figure on the head.
There was a loud bang, a flash of red flame, and the erratic figure was smashed to pieces by Ah Hu's pestle.
Li Zi turned around in astonishment, looking at the flaming demon-subduing pestle in Ah Hu's hand, and hissed, "Buddhist secret treasure? You actually have such a good thing? What a pity, what a pity!"
Li Zi let out a long roar, and his body suddenly turned into a wisp of green smoke and rushed straight towards Ah Hu.
When he attacked Ah Hu just now, he roughly estimated Ah Hu's strength and found that the strength of the afterimage he created was negligible.
However, when he saw the demon-subduing pestle in Ah Hu's hand, Li Zi, who was excited by the sight of prey, immediately used all his strength.
Li Zi's speed reached the extreme.
Lu Yi was a little faster than him. As Li Zi's body rushed out, the air around Lu Yi swirled, accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking wind. A palm-sized green wind blade condensed out of thin air and flew out, and the bright wind blade slashed Li Zi's back of the head.
"Given my position in His Majesty's heart, if I say that you colluded with Bai Changkong to rebel and cause chaos, and killed you on the spot, I think the most I would get is a fine." Lu Yi shouted sternly, "You attacked my people in my house, Li Zi, who do you think you are?"
The wind blade was extremely sharp, and it was still more than ten feet away from the back of Li Zi's head. The bone-chilling cold had already made his whole body slightly stiff.
Li Zi let out a strange cry, and he suddenly turned over. With a flick of his right hand, a thin silver snake-shaped bracelet on his wrist suddenly straightened up. With a humming sound, the bracelet that was tightly around his wrist jumped up, swayed in the wind, and turned into a narrow dagger two feet long.
The silver dagger rang out, and a sword light several feet long swept into the air, tearing the wind blade into pieces.
The wind blade exploded, and a strong wind suddenly blew up in the lobby. The large black dragon screen behind Lu Yi, which was as big as a hill, could not withstand the strong wind, and slid back more than a foot with a "crunch" and almost fell down.
Li Zi roared angrily: "Lu Yi, you dare to attack me? It's simply like, if you don't accept my toast, you will be punished!"
"Yeah? Who wants to ask Lu Yi to drink a penalty drink?"
The scolding voices of Qingning and Qingmeng were heard, and the two women jumped into the hall. They saw Li Zi forming a sword gesture with his right hand, directing a silver sword light about ten feet long to stab towards Lu Yi's heart. The two women sneered at the same time.
"Where did this inferior counterfeit come from?"
With a sneer, the sword bags hanging on the waists of the two women roared, and two sword lights as long as seventy or eighty feet, like dragons, rising into the sky with murderous aura and chilling chill. After circling, they arrived first and quickly caught up with the silver sword light, and slashed it down in mid-air.
With a ding sound, the silver dagger fell to the ground with a clang, and jumped violently a few times like a dying fish.
"This sword is good! Unfortunately, it has not been nurtured properly, and its spiritual power has all dissipated. It will be difficult to restore it to its original state." Qingyou walked slowly into the lobby, looking at the short sword on the ground that was shining coldly and could not fly, and exclaimed in amazement from the bottom of her heart.
Qing Ning and Qing Meng used the Qing Lin Sword that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Qing Lin Sword Pavilion. In this world, in the inheritance of sword cultivation, the Qing Lin Sword is also considered to be the most supreme item.
After being hit by Qing Ning and Qing Meng, the silver dagger was not damaged at all, which shows how powerful it is.
Li Zi turned around in shock and anger, and seeing Qingyou and the other two girls, he hissed, "The emperor appointed you as royal servants. It turns out you really have some abilities. Aren't you the emperor's concubines?"
Qingning and Qingmeng looked at Li Zi blankly. What is a mistress?
Qingyou blushed and said angrily, "You old bastard, you are so rude, you deserve to be beaten!"
She slapped the sword bag on her waist, and a sword light more than ten feet long burst out and instantly arrived in front of Li Zi.
Li Zi let out a strange cry, a flash of blood appeared, and he suddenly turned into dozens of afterimages and scattered, rushing out of the hall with a gust of cold wind.
"Lord Tianyang, today's revenge will be settled between you and me!"
