Jiang Aijian was slightly taken aback.
Li Jingyi glanced at Jiang Aijian from the corner of her eye and hummed softly.
Jiang Aijian cupped his fists and said, "Uh … I have something to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave."
"Wait."
Lu Zhou said.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Aijian turned around guiltily and said, "Old senior … H-how may I help you?"
"I still have something to ask you."
"Senior, please ask away. I will tell you everything I know. Yesterday, I received news that Zhang Yuanshan had found out about his lover's affair and killed the adulterous couple with a single slap. He has been in a very bad mood these days. "
"…"
The others looked at Jiang Aijian as though he was a lunatic.
Lu Zhou did not care about Zhang Yuanshan's family matters. He raised his wizened hand and grabbed Jiang Aijian's arm.
He walked towards the lake as if he was grabbing a chick.
Jiang Aijian wore an unwilling expression on his face, but he had no choice but to follow them.
"Let me ask you, is Mo Li still in the palace?" Lu Zhou asked.
"Divine Capital's Three Godly Archers, Chen Zhu, was her subordinate. After Chen Zhu died, the second prince was so angry that he vomited blood. He even grounded her."
This was similar to Lu Zhou's judgment.
Lu Zhou asked again, "What's Mo Li up to lately?
"Very honest. The old senior had clashed with her several times, and after a few accumulations, she was already seriously injured. I'm afraid I won't be able to recover without some time to recuperate, "Jiang Aijian replied honestly.
Whether it was the people Mo Li controlled or the Grand Witchcraft Formation, they were all destroyed by Lu Zhou.
This was the drawback of witchcraft.
The more powerful the witchcraft control or formation, the greater the backlash once it was broken.
Lu Zhou nodded.
"The internal strife in the palace is so fierce, but the Emperor doesn't care?"
Fortunately, Jiang Aijian was the Third Prince of the Imperial family. No one else would be able to answer this question.
Jiang Aijian shook his head and said with a sigh, "To be honest … I don't know either."
"I believe you."
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said, "One last question."
He paused and clasped his hands behind his back as he looked at Slender West Lake and asked, "Is it Moli who wants to investigate Cheng Huang, or is it the Emperor?"
The question was very direct.
After Ye Tianxin left the Evil Sky Pavilion, Lu Zhou wondered why Mo Li was in such a hurry to study these things since she was still far from the end of her life. The Emperor was old and had yet to abdicate. Also have this motive to investigate. Just like Qin Shi Huang on Earth, after unifying the six states, he still had to search for longevity pills.
Jiang Aijian shook his head and said, "No."
Initially, Lu Zhou wanted to ask about the key. However, when he thought about it, he realized he had no clue about it at all. He could not possibly ask Lu Zhou to look for a key. He did not even know what it looked like or what it was used for. So he didn't ask him.
Just as the two of them were chatting, the low sound of hooves could be heard.
Beside the Slender West Lake, several people were galloping in the forest.
Her aura was much stronger than that of Li Jingyi and the others.
Li Jingyi and her vice general were the only cultivators among them.
But this wave of people were all cultivators.
Upon seeing this, Li Jingyi said, "The Black Knights are here. Please leave quickly!"
Li Jingyi could not help but raise her voice.
When Jiang Aijian heard this, he shuddered and said, "Old senior, I'll take my leave now! Goodbye! "
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Zhou grabbed her arm and said, "You won't be able to leave."
Jiang Aijian pulled a long face. "It's useless even if I stay!"
Lu Zhou said nothing. Instead, he looked in the direction of the Black Knights.
After all, they were reinforcements from the palace. Jiang Aijian was the Third Prince after all. If they could not hold on, they could still use the prince as a trump card. Naturally, there was no such thing as a 'what if'.
Finally …
The grand group of Black Knights approached at high speed.
All of them wore black cultivator robes and silver armor.
Four of them ran at the front in a square formation.
Li Jingyi's people retreated swiftly until they were near the Slender West Lake.
The Black Knights stopped in formation.
"Li Jingyi?" One of the Black Knights looked at Li Jingyi, slightly puzzled.
Li Jingyi said, "My lords, are you acting under orders as well?"
Naturally, she knew they were acting under orders.
However, Li Jingyi was acting under the Emperor's orders. She did not know whose orders the Black Knights were acting under.
Zing!
The Black Knights drew their swords without saying a word.
The four Black Knights at the front rode on their horses and landed in front of Li Jingyi and the others.
"We're here on orders from our leader to clean up the Slender West Lake Park. Li Jingyi … You're incompetent. The Black Knights will report you to the palace," one of the Black Knights said in a deep voice.
Li Jingyi's expression was calm. She was unmoved.
At this moment, Leng Luo walked out.
Leng Luo's attire was different from the others. It was extremely unique. His appearance immediately caught the attention of the Black Knights.
"Whose orders are you acting under?" Leng Luo asked.
The four Black Knights looked at Leng Luo.
Leng Luo's identical attire puzzled the four of them.
Li Jingyi smiled faintly and said, "Naturally, it's the leader of the Black Knights, Lord Fan Xiuwen."
"Bastard!"
Leng Luo suddenly said.
His voice swept out like a shockwave.
He could understand that the Four Dark Knights had a new leader. In fact, he could even accept a new leader. However, how could he tolerate someone using the same name as before?
The four Black Knights stared at Leng Luo.
"Who are you?"
Leng Luo stepped forward.
When he was before the four Black Knights, he was only half a meter away from their swords.
For some reason, the Four Dark Knights took a step back.
Leng Luo spoke calmly.
"Chen Zhonghe, Yue Chong, Li Qing, Duan Yanhong … They've fought with me for many years and killed countless people. Their bones are filled with killing intent that has been tempered on the battlefield. Your disrespect for the dead is a crime punishable by death! "
The four Black Knights retreated again.
They would be fools if they did not understand what Leng Luo was saying.
The Four Dark Knights widened their eyes as they looked at the silver-masked Leng Luo approaching them.
"Fan Xiuwen? Leng Luo?!"
Li Jingyi exclaimed.
The Four Dark Knights retreated again.
They panicked.
Ever since they joined the Black Knights and became the Four Dark Knights again, they had been influenced by this legendary figure. The Black Knights talked about Leng Luo's legend the most. Even if the fake Fan Xiuwen took over, Leng Luo's position in the Black Knights would not change.
"Impossible! That's impossible! Fan Xiuwen has been killed by the old villain. Are you trying to deceive us? "
The Four Dark Knights raised their swords and steadied themselves.
"Everyone, listen up! This person is impersonating Lord Fan, the leader of the Black Knights. Execute him on the spot! Kill anyone who enters Slender West Lake's villa! "
"Kill him on the spot!"
"Kill him on the spot!"
The hundreds of Black Knights said in unison.
Primal Qi surged and carried sound waves as it swept past Li Jingyi's men and headed toward Jiang Aijian and Lu Zhou.
He looked at Lu Zhou and said, "I'm just trying to show off. I'll need your help, old man."
Lu Zhou's expression was calm.
He muttered inwardly, 'Why should I help? There are so many Black Knights. Even if I have ten Deadly Strike Cards, it won't be enough.
It's not a bad idea to capture a prince to protect myself. '
"Jiang Aijian, don't be afraid." Lu Zhou placed his wizened hand on Jiang Aijian's arm. His expression was kind and gentle. "Yuan 'er, look after him."
Little Yuan 'er made a face at Jiang Aijian and said, "Coward!"
The hundreds of Black Knights drew their swords.
