Qin Jun, the old butler, Hong Fu, Zhao Yue, and Little Yuan 'er looked over.
Li Yunzhao became respectful. He kneeled and saluted the 'little eunuch' and said, "Greetings, Your Fourth Highness."
'Your Fourth Highness?'
The extremely young man who had been following Li Yunzhao from the beginning to the end was the Fourth Prince. He had an unassuming appearance and kept a low profile.
Qin Jun was shocked. He did not expect this person to be the Fourth Prince who had just returned from the borders.
He hastily walked over.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
The little eunuch stopped clapping and straightened his robes.
He removed his eunuch's hat and tossed it to the side. His aura was completely different from before.
His facial features were revealed.
He was not as young as Lu Zhou had imagined. Instead, he seemed cold and harsh.
This was a temperament honed on the battlefield.
This was the Fourth Prince, Liu Bing.
Liu Bing cupped his fists at Lu Zhou. "Your skills are truly amazing, old mister … Li Yunzhao is a Six-leaf Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm elite, after all, and yet, he couldn't even last a single strike."
"You're the Fourth Prince, Liu Bing?" Lu Zhou asked.
"That's me."
"You're going to stand up for Li Yunzhao?"
Lu Zhou could sense that Liu Bing's aura was not profound.
At the very least, he could not tell how profound his cultivation base was.
"I've admired you for a long time, old mister …"
Liu Bing said with a smile, "I don't plan to stand up for him. He deserves it. However, you have to look at the master before you beat a dog. Li Yunzhao is a dog of the Imperial family, after all. I can't just stand by and watch. "
"That's good." Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded.
At least he knew how to behave.
The Evil Sky Pavilion was famous. Even when Liu Bing was away on a campaign, his name was still well-known.
Liu Bing's two strikes against Li Yunzhao had been completely overpowered. This was enough to shock Liu Bing. The Evil Sky Pavilion lived up to its name.
"How do you plan to punish him, old mister?" Liu Bing asked politely.
Li Yunzhao bowed.
He seemed to be in pain.
Even when he was crushed by Lu Zhou with two strikes, he did not feel this bad.
Since His Highness said this, he knew he could not escape this calamity.
When Li Yunzhao arrived, he coincidentally bumped into the Fourth Prince.
Lu Zhou's gaze fell on Li Yunzhao as he said, "Do I have to report my actions to you?"
"…"
Liu Bing was startled. His chest felt stifled by these words.
This old monster …
It was much more difficult to deal with than the legends said!
Not only was his cultivation terrifying, but his temper was also strange!
"Old mister, you're being too serious … Li Yunzhao is at your disposal. This prince will definitely not obstruct you. "Liu Bingxiang took a step back, acting as if he was not involved in this matter.
Li Yunzhao frowned deeply. "Your Highness …"
Liu Bing glanced at Li Yunzhao and said, "I and the Prince of West Conquering the West are on a joint expedition. They couldn't be considered best friends, but they were like-minded. Yet, you have ruined his family and killed his family. I can't protect you. "
After saying that, he looked away.
Li Yunzhao bowed to Lu Zhou and said, "Old mister, your cultivation base is unfathomable. I'm convinced … I'm willing to accept any punishment."
When Lu Zhou heard this, he stroked his beard and nodded.
At least he was tactful.
If he was still not convinced, then he would use the Astral Lightning to beat him until he was convinced.
"Very good. “
Lu Zhou continued to say, "I'll destroy your cultivation base … Do you accept that?"
Meanwhile.
A Thunderblast Card appeared in Lu Zhou's palm.
He waited for Li Yunzhao's reply.
Li Yunzhao's expression was dark.
Destroying his cultivation base was no different from killing him.
He did not expect the Evil Sky Pavilion's Old Villain Lu to be so ruthless.
How could he accept this?
"You're not convinced?" Lu Zhou noticed the change in Li Yunzhao's expression.
"I wouldn't dare to refuse … I have something to say … I believe you'll change your mind after you hear it, old mister," Li Yunzhao said.
'Hm?'
The Fourth Prince, Liu Bing, turned around and regarded the old eunuch with an amused expression.
His impression of Li Yunzhao was average. After all, Li Yunzhao was always out on the battlefield.
He had only interacted with Li Yunzhao a few times since he returned from the borders. Initially, he wanted to familiarize himself with Li Yunzhao so that he could have a spy for the Empress Dowager.
He did not expect Li Yunzhao to have so many schemes up his sleeves.
"Let's hear it."
"I've been serving the Empress Dowager. It's been 50 years … Deep in the palace, the Empress Dowager trusts very few people, and I'm one of them. The Empress Dowager has something that must be related to the Evil Sky Pavilion, "Li Yunzhao said.
'Hm?'
Something stirred in Lu Zhou's heart.
He recalled the location shown on the parchment drawing. Indeed, the information pointed to the palace.
'Could it be … the item is really in the palace?
Is this a pleasant surprise? '
"Continue," Lu Zhou said.
Li Yunzhao nodded and said, "This is a wordless book … It's something you exchanged for when you stole … no, took the Imperial token."
Li Yunzhao cleared his throat.
After he finished speaking, he coughed violently in an attempt to cover up his inappropriate choice of words.
'How could he say something inappropriate at this juncture? Does he have a death wish?'
Hong Fu was worried sick on his behalf.
How could he be a eunuch by the Empress Dowager's side with this level of skill? The heavens were truly blind to not be pushed out of the Meridian Gate and executed.
Liu Bing interjected, "You betrayed the Empress Dowager? You'll still be sentenced to death if you return. "
Li Yunzhao shook his head and said, "Your Highness, you've just returned to the Divine Capital, and there are many things you don't understand. Please listen to my explanation. After the Imperial token was lost, everyone was searching for it. The Empress Dowager was the only one who knew that it was in the Evil Sky Pavilion's hands. The Imperial token was originally in His Majesty's possession. However, His Majesty was unwell, so the Empress Dowager took care of it. When the token was lost, the Empress Dowager was burning with anxiety. She sent someone to the Evil Sky Pavilion … "
Lu Zhou wanted to say that he had no recollection of this.
However, when he recalled the missing memory, he decided to remain calm. The more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make. If he did not speak, he would not make a mistake.
"Old mister, you didn't return the Imperial token, but you gave me a wordless Heavenly Writing instead," Li Yunzhao said.
Realization dawned on Lu Zhou.
The wordless Heavenly Writing was most likely a remnant of the Open Heavenly Writing Scroll.
Lu Zhou did not bother to ask why. He asked, "Where's the scroll?"
Li Yunzhao said, "It's still in the palace."
At this point, Lu Zhou finally understood.
Li Yunzhao wanted to exchange the wordless Heavenly Writing for his cultivation base … Coincidentally, Lu Zhou had already given the Imperial token to Jiang Aijian. Jiang Aijian used the token to open the inner warehouse. The key had been returned to the Imperial family.
It was as though everything was predestined.
Lu Zhou did not turn around. He said, "Zhao Yue …"
"Yes, master."
"You're the victim … You'll decide his fate."
Since he knew the wordless Heavenly Writing was in the palace, he had many ways to retrieve it.
There was no need for him to accommodate Li Yunzhao.
Hence, he left the decision to Zhao Yue.
He looked at Zhao Yue.
Zhao Yue bowed and said, "Master's things should be retrieved … He saved my life by a freak combination of factors. If he's lying, it's not too late to kill him in the future."
"That's right." Little Yuan 'er nodded.
When Lu Zhou heard Zhao Yue's words, he thought to himself, 'My disciple did not train me for nothing. She finally knows how to think for her master.'
'Little Yuan' er … I'll have to teach her well. '
"Li Yunzhao … Did you hear me?" Lu Zhou asked.
"I understand … At this time tomorrow, I'll bring the item to meet you, old mister," Li Yunzhao said.
At this moment …
A hidden weapon flashed with golden light from the top of a tower that was built on the same side as the Prince of Qi Manor.
The target was Li Yunzhao.
After the figure shot the hidden weapon, he vanished in the blink of an eye.
It seemed like he intended to kill Li Yunzhao while he was injured!
Li Yunzhao's expression darkened.
He somersaulted in the air as terrifying energy surged out of his body.
The Fourth Prince, Liu Bing, frowned and said, "Li Yunzhao … Looks like you're not completely trusted!"
Bam!
