Chu Li sat in the restaurant and took a sip of wine. He had already read Chen Donghai's mind and knew what they were going to do.
They were going to enter King An's Imperial Residence again to provoke them.
They wanted to claim that King An's Imperial Residence was hiding people from the Holy Church of Light. They wanted to investigate the identities of all the Imperial Residence's Scribes and Protectors. If their identities were unclear, they would capture them and bring them to the Secret Guardians Hall for investigation. They would rather capture the wrong person than let a disciple of the Holy Church of Light escape.
If there was resistance, it meant that they had a guilty conscience. They would be captured and if they dared to resist, they would be killed.
They were preparing for a big battle.
Chu Li frowned and pondered. After some thought, he lifted his head and said, "I'll leave first. You stay here and don't do anything. Don't look for news about Meng Xiaoqi."
"Okay." Zhuo Feiyang nodded.
Chu Li closed fist saluted to express his gratitude and left.
The next moment, he suddenly disappeared and appeared in the backyard of King An's Imperial Residence.
Siao Shi and Siao Qi were both in the backyard. They were chatting and laughing in their white gowns. Siao Shi was teasing Siao Qi.
When Chu Li appeared, Siao Shi glanced at him, "You went to look for Lu Yurong?"
Chu Li said, "Miss Lu doesn't know either. This Meng Xiaoqi seems to have popped out from a rock. No one knows his background but he's trusted by the Crown Prince and the Emperor. It's really strange."
Siao Shi frowned, "You're saying that he's a disciple of the Imperial Family and might have the blood of the Leng Clan?"
Chu Li said, "Everything is still unclear. I'll investigate carefully. Oh right, there's a group of people from the Secret Guardians Hall coming to search King An's Imperial Residence. They said that there's a disciple of the Holy Church of Light hiding in King An's Imperial Residence. They must find him no matter what."
"Slander!" Siao Shi scoffed, "Meng Xiaoqi is too much. Is he forcing us to make a move?"
"Obviously." Chu Li smiled, "He's forcing me to come out, right?"
"Are you going to make a move?" Siao Shi turned to look at him.
Chu Li slowly nodded, "I have no choice. Otherwise, how can we be confident when King An's Imperial Residence's reputation is trampled?"
"Isn't this exactly what he wants?" Xiao Shi frowned and said, "If it really doesn't work, I'll go talk to the Empress. They can't bully us like this, can they?"
Chu Li said, "The Empress might not want to see you this time. let me do it."
Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi were worried.
Chu Li smiled. "It's a small matter, don't worry."
"Alright." Siao Shi scoffed and said, "I keep feeling that the Emperor's expression is different. His original arrogance has returned. Looks like he thinks he can take care of you. You better be careful."
Chu Li nodded and walked out.
He ordered someone to open the main door and walked out slowly. He stood on the steps and sized up Chen Donghai's group of ten who were rushing over from the corner of the street.
Chu Li smiled at Chen Donghai. "Centurion Chen, it's been a while. How have you been?"
"So it's Head Chief Chu, long time no see!" Chen Donghai reluctantly cupped his fists. His heart trembled as he knew that he was doomed this time. It was impossible for him to complete the mission and he could only return in low spirits.
Chu Li smiled and said, "May I know why the secret guardians are here? Are they searching for the disciples of the Holy Church of Light? "
"Exactly." Chen Donghai braced himself and said, "We've received orders from the Commander to come to King An's Imperial Residence to search for the disciples of the Holy Church of Light. Someone reported that there are disciples of the Holy Church of Light hiding in your Imperial Residence."
Chu Li said, "Didn't we search them the last time?"
"The last time was just a general search to go through the motions. It's different this time." Chen Donghai said in a low voice, "We need to thoroughly investigate everyone. If they're of unknown origin, we must arrest them."
Chu Li shook his head. "There are no disciples of the Holy Church of Light in our residence."
"This …" Chen Donghai shook his head and said, "Head Chief Chu, we'll only know if there are or not after we investigate."
Chu Li smiled. "The Imperial Residence is not a place where secret guardians like you can enter."
"Head Chief, you're wrong." Chen Donghai braced himself and said, "We secret guardians have the right to investigate any residence, even King An's Imperial Residence. Those who stop us will be killed without mercy!"
Chu Li could not help but laugh. "Oh? Killed without mercy? "
"That's right!" Chen Donghai said in a low voice.
He cried in his heart, 'Don't be forceful, don't be forceful. Just deceive them and don't take it seriously.'
The more he cried, the more Chu Li would not let him do as he wished. He said slowly, "I'd like to stop you and see how the Secret Guardians Hall is going to kill without mercy. … Commander Meng, you've just arrived, and you want to start a fire? You've brought the fire to me. Interesting! "
"Chu Li, are you really going to stop us from searching?" Chen Donghai scoffed.
Chu Li said, "Yes, you can do what you need to do!"
"… If that's the case, we can only offend you!" Chen Donghai said in a low voice.
Chu Li glanced at the crowd and his gaze fell on an elder in the crowd. He smiled faintly. "You're not an elder from the Secret Guardians Hall, right? Are you new here? "
The elder took a step forward and said, "I'm Hu Cheng. Greetings, Head Chief!"
Chu Li smiled and said, "It's such a great honor to have such a hidden master come to my residence!"
"You flatter me!" Hu Cheng said, "How would I dare to say that I'm hidden in front of you, Head Chief?"
Chu Li laughed out loud. "Alright, alright, let's not beat around the bush. I'm sure that Commander Meng has already anticipated that I'll make a move since you're here. He must have a backup plan, right? Why don't we come together? "
His gaze fell on the corner of the street.
"Hehe …" With a hearty laugh, Meng Xiaoqi appeared from the corner. He was followed by four elders. Their eyes were clear and bright, and their bodies were light as if they could float at any time. They surrounded Meng Xiaoqi.
"I've long heard of your reputation, Head Chief." Meng Xiaoqi smiled. "Now that I've seen you today, you live up to your reputation. This is the Emperor's gold plate!"
He reached into his inner pocket and took out a gold plate. Under the sunlight, the word "Amnesty" was reflected on it. It looked like a flying dragon and dancing phoenix was about to jump out of the gold plate. It was imposing.
Chu Li frowned at the gold plate and said, "This is the Emperor's token?"
Meng Xiaoqi kept the gold plate and shook his head. "Let's not talk about whether it's real or fake. Head Chief, are you going to hold onto the gold plate and prevent us from entering the residence to search?"
"If there's really a gold plate, I really can't stop you." Chu Li shook his head and extended his hand. "I want to test the gold plate."
"Please!" Meng Xiaoqi smiled. "There's the Emperor's Enlightened Master's inner energy on it. You'll know whether it's real or fake at a glance."
Chu Li took the gold plate. A strange inner energy immediately drilled into his body like solid mercury. It was pervasive and unstoppable. In an instant, it drilled into his internal organs as if it was going to freeze him.
Chu Li looked up at Meng Xiaoqi.
Meng Xiaoqi was smiling proudly. It was obvious that this move was meant to trick Chu Li.
"Head Chief, do you have any objections?" Meng Xiaoqi asked with a smile.
Chu Li sighed slowly. "The Enlightened Master's inner energy can't resist it. As a Grandmaster, I can't either. Commander Meng's move is really brilliant!"
"I heard that you've killed an Enlightened Master before. I'm sure you have a way to resist it." Meng Xiaoqi laughed. "I'd like to see how powerful you are!"
Chen Donghai and the others stared at Chu Li with bright eyes.
They could tell that Chu Li must have fallen into the commander's trap.
It seemed that the commander was superior. He was able to trick Chu Li. Chu Li had planned everything. He had only plotted against others. He had never been plotted against by others!
