Just as the assistant minister finished speaking, he suddenly felt his vision blur. His neck was grabbed by a strong hand and he found it hard to breathe. His entire body was enveloped by a cold murderous aura and he could not use any of his cultivation. He could not help but be extremely shocked. His Adam's apple moved and he made sounds of "uh uh uh".
Yan Li said softly, "If you mention the words' Second Prince 'again, I will take your life. Do you understand?"
The assistant minister hurriedly nodded. He had only come to deliver a letter and did not want to die here inexplicably.
Feeling the grip on his neck loosen, he felt slightly relieved. Then his feet touched the ground and he felt his legs go soft. He had no choice but to stand. Only when he was sure that his life was no longer in danger did he dare to gradually breathe again. Step by step, he retreated to the door frame and tidied up his clothes.
"Tan, Tan Hua, how can you treat an official of the Imperial Court like this …" Compared to the domineering tone at the beginning, his tone became as meek as a sheep. Rather than saying it was a question, it was better to say that it was a complaint.
Yan Li stretched and took a stool to sit down. "Is there anything else, Milord?"
The assistant minister was extremely afraid of him and did not dare to delay any longer. He could only say, "At noon today, the Saint Emperor wants to summon the three of you to personally inquire about your intentions."
This meant that he wanted to recruit them.
"There is no need to ask," Yan Li said directly. "I like the Court Of Sword. Just make me a document. Also, I will enter Tiantian Plain tonight. Remember to send someone to lead the way. "
…
After listening to the assistant minister's exaggerated complaints, Ji Wuyu's expression did not change. He said lightly, "That is to say, he is not willing to reconcile with me."
Lone Eagle stood at the side and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, if we do not get rid of this person, there will be endless troubles in the future."
"He will soon become a disciple of the Court Of Sword," Ji Wuyu said lightly. "If there are no accidents, he will shine at Soul Sword Peak. After a few years, it will not be a problem of troubles in the future when he returns."
"What's that?" the assistant minister asked subconsciously. But when he met Ji Wuyu's gaze, his heart trembled and he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, His Majesty is still waiting for this servant to report. This servant will go now."
"Go, don't let Imperial Father wait too long." Ji Wuyu suddenly smiled again.
The Eunuch Assistant Minister felt a chill in his heart. He felt that the Second Prince was sometimes even more terrifying than the Tanhua Knight. He didn't want to stay a moment longer in this beautiful place, so he hurriedly took his leave.
"Your Highness, do you have an idea?" Lone Eagle asked cautiously.
"Idea?" Ji Wuyu seemed to be taken aback. "No, I'm not a great sage, nor am I the military counselor in the Lihen Palace. How can I give you advice time and time again?"
These words were very hurtful.
Lone Eagle suddenly recalled Ji Wuyu's previous words. He bowed his head deeply, "Your Highness, rest assured. This humble servant will definitely handle this matter beautifully and not leave any future troubles!"
"I'll be watching." Ji Wuyu lightly said.
Lone Eagle bowed and took his leave.
He returned to the Eagle Yamen and saw Li Yong standing in front of his study, pacing back and forth, with a trace of gloom between his brows.
Li Yong's albinism gave people a cold feeling. With this bit of gloom, it was like a heavy mountain was hanging on him.
"What's the matter?" He walked over and asked.
Li Yong seemed to have just noticed Lone Eagle's return. He subconsciously hid his hand behind his back, "Your, Your Highness is back! What did Your Highness say? "
"What else can he say?" Lone Eagle coldly glanced at Li Yong's hand, "What are you hiding?"
Seeing that there was nothing he could hide, Li Yong gritted his teeth as if he had made a great decision. He took out the thing he had hidden behind his back, but it was a thin piece of paper.
"Your Highness, please have a look …"
Lone Eagle glanced at it. There were not many words, "What is this?"
"A letter from Yan Li," Li Yong said.
"Yan Li?" Lone Eagle slightly narrowed his eyes. Now, whether it was "Yan" or "Li", any one of them could stimulate his nerves, let alone the combination of the two.
He looked Li Yong up and down as he said meaningfully, "Your relationship is beyond this seat's expectations. You even wrote to each other."
Li Yong's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said, "Your Highness is wise. This lowly officer knows that you suspect that I secretly let Yan Li go, but after this lowly officer left the dungeon, I never went back in again. All my subordinates can testify to this."
"This seat did not suspect you," Lone Eagle lightly said. "Only this seat knows that place. Besides, I was always there. How could you have a chance?"
Li Yong let out a sigh of relief, saying, "Your Highness, I have no relationship with Yan Li at all. It's just that he thinks he's infallible. If you read the letter, you will know how infallible he is. "
"There's no need to read it," Lone Eagle did not read the letter. Instead, he walked into his study with his hands behind his back, "Just say it."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust!" Li Yong said confidently, "In the letter, he vaguely mentioned that this lowly officer's current position does not seem to match my identity."
"What identity do you have?" Lone Eagle sat down in front of the desk.
"The important point is not this lowly officer's identity." Li Yong smiled disdainfully, "The meaning behind his words is very clear. He wants to rope me in to deal with you."
"Deal with me?" Lone Eagle seemed to have heard a joke, "How does he want to deal with me?"
Li Yong said, "In the letter, he mentioned that tonight, he will enter the Heavenly Plains to perform the incantation. He wants me to convince you to sneak in and wait for an opportunity to kill you. He said that he has roped in Yu Jianzi and Lord Xiao Wang and is preparing to deal with you after the incantation. He wants me to sneak in at the crucial moment and kill you in one fell swoop. Only after you die will I have the chance to sit in your position. "
"Oh?" Lone Eagle smiled, "This Yan Li is a very skilled lobbyist. Isn't this hitting your soft spot in one strike?"
Li Yong's heart trembled once more. He did not expect that even after being so honest, the other would not let down his guard. He bowed his head and cupped his hands, "Milord is wise! This lowly officer is loyal to Milord and has never thought of replacing Milord! "
"Continue," Lone Eagle said nonchalantly.
Li Yong said coldly, "Speaking of which, it is really funny. Even if the three of them succeed in the incantation, do you think they can deal with Milord?"
"Don't I still have you?" Lone Eagle smiled.
"This lowly officer will not betray you!" Li Yong said resolutely.
"There are no absolutes in this world." Lone Eagle maintained his indifferent attitude, "Li Yong, we are both clear on one thing. A large portion of people are driven by benefits. You and I are no exception. This seat does not need any loyalty. What Yan Li can give you, this seat can also give you. Which side you want to stand on, consider it yourself. "
Li Yong did not expect that Lone Eagle would act as a lobbyist. He was startled at first and then bitterly smiled, "Milord, is there a need to say this? A few jumping clowns want to deal with Milord. I can only say that they are frogs at the bottom of a well, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth! Taking ten thousand steps back, even with this lowly officer, we are still not enough to deal with Milord with a single finger. "
"This seat is already tired of hearing compliments," Lone Eagle said. "This seat only wants to know, what opportunity did Yan Li give you to convince me to infiltrate Tiantian Plains?"
Li Yong said, "He said that Milord will definitely grasp this opportunity. Because once he completes the incantation and enters Confucian orthodoxy, Milord and the Imperial Court will not be able to do anything to him. "
"Of course, he will not have the chance to silence this seat." Lone Eagle sneered.
"Silence?" Li Yong was stunned.
"Nothing." Lone Eagle waved his hand, then changed the subject, "Li Yong, this seat has always appreciated you. Otherwise, I would not have promoted you to Fellow Zhi in such a short time. You are decisive in handling matters, fierce and swift in capturing criminals. You also have an incomparably keen sense of smell, comparable to a hunting dog. You are truly a rare talent. In truth, His Majesty has gradually relaxed his control over the Dragon Emperor Residence in recent years. Do you know why? "
"This lowly one does not know," Li Yong said honestly.
Lone Eagle said meaningfully, "What he wants now is to cultivate his heart and mind, to work hard for the final stage of the seventh realm."
"The final stage?" Li Yong's body trembled. "Isn't that …"
"Once you pass the final stage, you will be a true immortal!" Lone Eagle said fervently. "There are only a handful of people in the world with such great strength. To him, the power and influence of the mortal world is but a fleeting cloud. So … "
His expression quickly calmed down, and he smiled faintly. "He is preparing to establish a brand-new organization that will be above all the Dragon Emperor Residence, leading the Three Great Divine Arresters. If there are no accidents, this seat will sit in that position. At that time … "
"Promoting you to this seat's current position is only a matter of a word," he said casually.
Li Yong's mind trembled. "Milord, you …"
Lone Eagle made a shushing gesture and shook his finger. "This seat is referring to the Divine Arrester, not just the commander of the Eagle Yamen."
Li Yong knelt down with a thud, and deeply pressed his head to the ground. "This subordinate will never forget Milord's guidance!"
"Now you know what to choose?" Lone Eagle said with a smile.
"This subordinate will definitely help you give Yan Li the deepest pain!" Li Yong straightened up, and grinned hideously. "This is a good opportunity to settle old scores with him!"
Lone Eagle nodded in satisfaction. Then he waved his hand and threw out a black collar full of bells. "Since he wants to scheme against this seat, I might as well beat him at his own game. Take this precious artifact and put it on him when the opportunity arises. "
Li Yong stood up and caught it. After examining it carefully, he said in surprise, "Is this the God Binding Ring that Master Ban Gu made personally? Is it the same function as the God Binding Chariot in the prison? "
The so-called God Binding Chariot was a device that prevented Yan Li from using his True Qi. They were both precious artifacts used to control the Source Sea.
"It's even better. Let's give him a surprise tonight." Lone Eagle smiled mysteriously. "Do you think he will like this seat's gift? Compared to the ranking he obtained, Master Ban Gu's work is precious enough. "
"That's the only thing he's fit for," Li Yong concluded.
