Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 54 Everything for the Ruoye Tribe
Yinglili walked towards the chief physician step by step: "So, are you ready to explain the reason to me, or introduce me to the archer?"
"Everything is for the Ruoye clan, everything is for His Highness." Even though Ying Lili made countless guesses in her heart, she did not expect that the imperial physician's explanation would be so confusing, or, in other words, so righteous.
She was slightly startled, and subconsciously repeated: "Everything for the Ruoye tribe? How do you explain this?"
"It is inconvenient to explain more at this time. Miss Ying will understand it in the future. Including the archer, I cannot introduce him to you at this moment because he has more important things to do." After talking for a long time, this guy said nothing. What Ying Lili wanted to know was still an unsolved mystery.
"Miss Ying, there is something I have always been curious about." The imperial physician did not seriously answer Ying Lili's question. Instead, he stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Ying Lili with a playful expression: "My prince loves you, Miss Ying, deeply, and the sun and the moon can testify to it. This makes me sigh."
Upon hearing this, Ping Lili was slightly embarrassed. She knew very well how Long Yu felt about her, but her heart had already settled. To Long Yu, she only had a close friend and confidant relationship, without any mixture of love between men and women. Therefore, she had always been careful to keep a close distance from him, because she didn't want to destroy the rare friendship between them.
And Long Yu, such a smart man, naturally understood what was in Ping Lili's mind, so, as she wished, he never crossed the distance beyond friendship, because he didn't want to make Ping Lili embarrassed, or in other words, he never thought about monopolizing her at all. In Long Yu's heart, as long as Ping Lili could live happily, it was his greatest comfort, and he didn't care whether the person who brought her happiness was herself or not.
Perhaps it was because he was used to seeing the separation of life and death in the world, or perhaps it was because he felt sympathetic for the short life of an ordinary human like Ping Lili, so Long Yu regarded Ping Lili's life as more precious than anything else.
In fact, Ping Lili could feel all of this, so her gratitude towards Long Yu was deeply hidden in her heart.
But no one knew why the imperial physician brought up this embarrassing topic so abruptly at this moment?
"What are you going to say? Don't beat around the bush." Thinking of this, Ping Lili looked at the imperial physician and asked word by word.
"Miss Ying is a person who values friendship and loyalty. Considering your friendship with His Highness, I believe you will not mind doing something for my Highness. I just don't know to what extent you can do for His Highness?" The imperial physician was a straightforward person. He did not hold back and went straight to the point.
This direct question startled Ping Lili for a moment, but she quickly realized that what this imperial physician represented was definitely not Long Yu's idea. Ping Lili knew Long Yu too well. All his efforts for her were selfless and he did not ask for anything in return. This was what moved Ping Lili the most.
So, the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is. What does the imperial physician mean by saying this ? Who does he represent? In other words, what exactly does he want to do by throwing out such a grand reason?
With a thought in his mind, thinking of the arrow and the phantom before, Ping Lili soon realized that all this was a test for him by the imperial physician. It seemed that the thing he needed him to do was very important, or in other words, he had to do it himself.
"Tell me, what do you need me to do?" Ying Lili took a deep breath and replied very straightforwardly: "Or, what can I do for Long Yu? Please tell me clearly."
"Straightforward! Miss Ying is indeed a straightforward person." The smile on the imperial physician's face at this moment made Ying Lili subconsciously feel that she was not facing a human being, but a shrewd fox.
However, if I can help Long Yu a little bit, I won't be afraid even if I collude with Huhu!
"Then, I'll leave the task of assassinating General Zhiguo to you, Miss Ping." The old fox spoke of this murder and robbery as if it were nothing serious.
"Give me a reason." Ping Lili was stunned again. She thought that something that could make the imperial physician plan so painstakingly must be no trivial matter, but she did not expect it to be an assassination, and what's more, the other party was actually the father of the Crown Princess, who should be Long Yu's father-in-law.
Killing him is not a big deal. When I decided to stay and fight alongside Long Yu, I had already prepared myself mentally to kill. But why me?
"The situation at the West Gate is now clear. To capture the thief, we must first capture the leader. As long as we capture the leading General Zhiguo, the rebels at the West Gate will not be a problem."
"I know all this better than you do. Please tell me the key point. Why me? Your Ruoye tribe is full of talented people. I don't believe that we can't find someone who can assassinate him. I think the person who shot a cold arrow at me before is probably a good candidate. Since he can shoot a cold arrow at me, why can't he do it again?" Gong Lili interrupted the imperial physician rudely.
"General Chiguo's strength is considered to be a top expert even in my Ruoye tribe. Looking around Yonghui City, the only one who can kill him is probably you, Miss Ping, except for the three outside Dongdaemun."
The imperial physician was explaining to Ying Lili very patiently: "Also, although the old general Chiguo has rebelled now, he was once the pillar of the Ruoye tribe and a founding minister. He naturally has many sympathizers. If he died at the hands of his own people, it would be disheartening to the generals and soldiers. You know, my prince will inherit the throne in the future..." The old fox spoke cryptically and stopped at the point.
Ping Lili finally understood the other party's painstaking efforts. It turned out that the reason why he chose her was because of her strength, but more importantly, her identity. Because she was not a member of the Ruoye tribe, she did not have so many taboos. Even if everyone knew about her relationship with Long Yu, in the chaos of the army, they would subconsciously think that she was considering the overall situation. And more importantly, even if there were confidants or sympathizers of General Zhiguo who wanted to resent her, they would resent her. Who was she? She was a Shamo person, the chief wizard of the Shamo tribe, so this account naturally fell on the Shamo people.
This way, it would neither damage Long Yu's reputation nor discourage the Ruoye clan's soldiers. This move of killing someone with a borrowed knife was a good plan. Or, in other words, Yan Lili even wondered in his heart whether this was another play called killing to silence someone.
Although this person claims that he is a man of the Emperor of the Ruoye tribe, all these strategies seem to be planned for Long Yu. I wonder what he is up to?
However, Ping Lili knew that she would not refuse. Even though she knew that this was a conspiracy and a blatant plot against her, she would still do it because, for now, this matter would be beneficial to Long Yu in every way. If that was the case, why would she be afraid of being the bad guy?
At least she could control this matter under her own will, because how to implement it specifically was not something that the imperial physician could decide. It seemed that Ping Lili had never been a person who would obey orders.
"If Long Yu knew how much effort you, the imperial physician, put in, I wonder if he would be moved to tears of gratitude." Ping Lili snorted coldly, but still couldn't help but mock the other party.
But the other party looked calm and said, "There are some things that Your Highness is not convenient to do and is unwilling to do with his status and mind. We, as ministers, must find ways to take the initiative to help Your Highness share his worries."
"Be careful, all your schemes may end up costing your life!" Ping Lili blurted out angrily.
"If Miss Ying agrees, then take action as soon as possible. Miss Ying should know the current situation of the West Gate better than I do. As long as General Zhiguo is eliminated, the rebels at the West Gate will not be a problem!" The imperial physician ignored Yinglili's sarcasm. He carefully took out a set of silver soft armor from a sandalwood box in the wing room: "This is the dragon scale soft armor, a treasure of my Ruoye tribe. It is not invulnerable to swords and guns, but it is also a good thing for self-defense. You can use it."
"What exactly do you want to do?" Ying Lili did not take the dragon scale soft armor. What she was more curious about at this moment was, this old fox had planned so many things, what was the ultimate purpose?
"I have just said it , everything is for the Ruoye clan, everything is for Your Highness." The imperial physician said this in a sonorous and powerful voice, and after throwing the dragon scale software to Gong Lili, he turned around and left in a leisurely manner.
Leaving Yinglili standing there alone, all for the Ruoye tribe? All for Longyu?
Ping Lili felt that he seemed to have grasped something key.
Outside the west gate of Yonghui City
The originally chaotic and tense situation seemed to have been reversed the moment the huge blood symbol suddenly appeared outside the East Gate.
The goddess of victory seemed to lean heavily towards the rebels in an instant!
After feeling the breath of the blood talisman, the black-armored undead and the beast-like rebels were like chicken blood, and they swarmed like a tide and took turns to attack the wall of the west gate! Mu Feng almost thought he was about to lose several times! Not to mention the increasingly fierce and sturdy beast-like rebels, the black-armored undead as tall as the wall alone caused heavy losses to the Dragon Wing Army defending the city! Those black-armored undead only needed to lightly slap countless defenders, and they kept hitting back and forth, making the wall look shaky and seemed to collapse at any time.
Although the powerful city defense crossbow was effective against the beast-like rebels, it was useless to the lifeless black-armored undead. The huge crossbow arrows shot at the undead and turned into nothingness.
If the walls of Yonghui City had not been miraculously strong, and if the Longyi Army defending the city had not been so tenacious, the West Gate would have been lost long ago.
Mu Feng's situation wasn't much better! A long bloodstain on his chest spread from his left shoulder to his right waist, and his armor was torn into pieces. This was the price he paid after being hit by the black sand finger of the black-armored undead.
At this moment, this passionate man still had no intention of retreating. He had only one thought in his mind: fight! fight! Live and die with this West Gate!
He clenched the trident in his backhand and poured all the spiritual power in his body into the trident. Seeing another black-armored undead rushing towards him angrily, Mu Feng leaped up and the trident in his hand suddenly flew out. Almost at the same time, a blood-colored light flew out from behind Mu Feng, and along with the flying trident, it pierced deeply into the body of the black-armored undead. After a loud bang, a black-armored undead slowly fell under the city wall of the west gate!
Then with a whoosh, it turned into a puff of black smoke.
Immediately afterwards, on the city wall of the west gate, the strange beast let out an earth-shaking roar, as if sounding the clarion call for the Ruoye tribe to counterattack!
At this moment, a few miles away from the west gate, the familiar horn of the Ruoye tribe was blown! Mu Feng's eyes seemed to be lit up in an instant!
Reinforcements! Yes, reinforcements! This familiar sound of the conch shell, which is unique to the Ruoye tribe, cannot be mistaken!
I just don't know where these reinforcements come from?
