"Why don't we be frank?" Li Liang said, "I'm very grateful that you saved me from Duanmu Huangqi. To be honest, I knew I was going to die at that time. Duanmu Huangqi has tortured and killed tens of thousands of people over the years. I, Li Liang, won't make a difference. If you didn't save me, I would have ended up the same as Duanmu Yun'Ai."
Lü Shu said politely, "This is the grace of saving your life."
"…" Li Liang was speechless for a long time. Your expression and your words really don't match. He sorted out his thoughts and continued, "But I have no value to be used, right? I have no money and no strength. What else do you want me to do?"
Lv Shu chuckled and said, "I have something to tell you, but if you don't agree to my proposal, you might die. Even if I don't kill you, at least you will lose your freedom for a while. Are you willing to do that?"
Li Liang was stunned. It was rare for Lü Shu to say something so serious. The other party didn't say anything specific at all. It was completely letting Li Liang gamble. If he won the gamble, the result was unclear, but if he lost the gamble, he would die!
How should he choose?
Li Liang suddenly sighed, "What's the difference between me and being dead now? I'll listen to you! "
"Ahem, forget it. Let's not talk about it now. Let's talk about it after you recover." Lü Shu suddenly felt that it was still not appropriate. He always felt that the Marrow-Cleansing Fruit was a little strange. Looking at the Earth and Lü Zhou, he actually didn't find anything in this world that had the same effect as the Marrow-Cleansing Fruit.
There may be other things in this world that are controversial, but there is a consensus on the matter of no treatment after the foundation is severed. There is no treatment after the foundation is severed.
Lü Shu had asked Zhang Weiyu about this matter, but Zhang Weiyu did not seem to know about such a method.
Of course, although Zhang Weiyu was an Inner Palace Official, he might not know everything. For example, he did not know what the people who had saved them had planned. So, Lü Shu knew that Yun Yi and Hu Zhi might still be hiding many things from Zhang Weiyu and the others.
However, Lü Shu did not dare to reveal this secret to Lü Zhou, because Lü Shu had a worry that he had never told anyone.
However, at this moment, Li Liang almost broke down. The hope that he had just raised was crushed by Lü Shu just like that.
Li Liang's face darkened. "Give me a straightforward answer. Are you going to tell me or not? I, Li Liang, am willing to be your slave as long as you give me a way out!"
Lü Shu shook his head. "I don't take anyone as a slave. This is my principle."
Yi Qian added, "We are all fighting to be the King's slave, but we can't even get in line. You are a newcomer, what right do you have to be the King's slave?"
Li Liang was shocked. "Are you all crazy?!"
"Negative emotion points from Li Liang, + 666!"
Were there still people fighting to be slaves in this world? Li Liang found it hard to believe. Even a first-rank guest under Duanmu Huangqi was not willing to be the Emperor Of Heaven's slave. Under normal circumstances, half of the first-rank experts under the Emperor Of Heaven were his slaves, and the other half were guests. Of course, the treatment of a guest was not as good as that of a slave. This was similar to the treatment of a commoner and a slave, because the slave was the owner's private property.
Even a first-rank expert was like this, so there was no need to mention the Great Grandmasters under the Emperor Of Heaven.
Lü Shu suddenly asked, "How many Great Grandmasters does Duanmu Huangqi have under him? Do they all listen to him? "
"There were two in the past, and he has only recently been promoted to the third." Li Liang sighed and said, "You may not believe it, but this newly promoted Great Grandmaster is actually Duanmu Huangqi's slave. If I were that Great Grandmaster, I'm afraid my intestines would be green with regret right now. After becoming a Great Grandmaster, I still have to be someone else's slave. "
Lü Shu shook his head. "Although I have a grudge against Duanmu Huangqi, you can't say it like that. Without Duanmu Huangqi's resources, I'm afraid this person would not be able to become a Great Grandmaster. So, this is just a matter of choice. This is a little difficult. This Duanmu Huangqi actually has four Great Grandmasters? Isn't this comparable to Jianlu? "
"That's not necessarily true." Li Liang denied and said, "The realm of Jianlu's Eldest Shixiong is already deep and unfathomable. Furthermore, the Great Grandmasters of Jianlu are born to kill. Ordinary Great Grandmasters are not a match for them at all. Didn't you see? When that Duanmu Huangqi was facing Lü Shu, he accumulated his aura for ten breaths, and that Eldest Shixiong killed him with one sword strike."
"What you mean is that Duanmu Huangqi is actually unable to defeat that Jianlu Eldest Shixiong, right?" Lü Shu said.
"It's hard to say. This Duanmu Huangqi is extremely scheming and paranoid. He might even be testing us. There must be some hidden elements in this." Li Liang shook his head and said, "Actually, you haven't realized the most serious problem. Duanmu Huangqi cherishes his life very much. There's a reason why he was able to survive many wars in the past. That's why you see that he even dares to go toe to toe with Jianlu after entering Royal City … I suspect that there's another Emperor Of Heaven supporting Duanmu Huangqi from behind!"
"Wait, why is it the Emperor Of Heaven and not the one in the Divine King's Palace?" Lü Shu asked curiously.
"Not to mention the fact that the Divine King doesn't care about a fight of this level, the abnormalities in the Divine King's Palace in recent years are very strange," Li Liang said as he looked at Yi Qian. "In these ten years, have you seen the new King? Where did she go? Is she still in the Divine King's Palace? "
This question stunned Yi Qian. "I really haven't seen her, but …"
Yi Qian didn't finish his sentence because Li Liang didn't know his identity as Mituryū Kanao. Therefore, he couldn't say that Mituryū Kanao had always treated the one in the Divine King's Palace as an imaginary enemy. If it was really as Li Liang said, wouldn't it subvert their previous understanding?
This was very frustrating!
However, at this moment, Li Liang said, "In the past, when the Old Divine King was around, he would request for memorials to be sent to him every month. In the end, after the throne was replaced, the Divine King's Palace abolished this rule, so …"
Li Liang had a high position in Western State, so he knew more than Yi Qian. Although Yi Qian could buy information, how could they spy on the real supreme court? However, Li Liang was different. He had come into contact with a lot of things in Western State in the past, and his classmates in the Imperial College were all over the government offices in the capital, so he would definitely be well-informed.
Therefore, the more Li Liang said, the more Lü Shu frowned. Could it be that something big was really going to happen in Lü Zhou?
"Duanmu Huangqi has been doing too many strange things recently." Li Liang suddenly said, "Actually, I only realized one thing after my army was defeated. The Blackfeather Army's invasion of Nanzhou itself was a pretense. The so-called reward of ten cities was just bait for everyone to risk their lives. He's now stationed a large number of troops at the border between Western State and Nanzhou. However, what I find puzzling is that he doesn't seem to want to fully invade Nanzhou. Instead, after the Blackfeather Army attracted Nanzhou's attention, he placed his attention on another place. That place isn't too far from the border, but there's nothing there."
Lü Shu was stunned. "Why would he station a large number of troops if there's nothing there?"
"How would I know?" Li Liang sighed. "This time, he didn't tell me the details. It's because my defeat affected his plans that he's so angry."
Lü Shu suddenly felt as if he was in a gray fog. What was in the fog had always been a mystery, but as he melted into Lü Zhou, the gray fog in front of him began to melt away bit by bit, revealing the ferocious appearance inside.
