Seeing his behavior, King An's anger surged and turned into killing intent. He wanted to order his men to hack him to death.
His rationality suppressed him. He pursed his lips and did not call for help.
This Chu Li was obviously arrogant and domineering, but he did not mess up his etiquette, which made him look even more arrogant.
King An felt that he could not stand it any longer. He had to deal with him quickly to prevent himself from feeling uncomfortable.
Chu Li kept a straight face and said solemnly, not saying a word.
After a while, King An calmed his anger and killing intent. He said coldly, "I heard that the Second Lady is not willing to get married?"
Chu Li said calmly, "Your Highness, it was the Second Lady who personally sent someone to look for Your Highness. The one who is most willing to get married is the Second Lady. I wonder where Your Highness heard this rumor?"
King An said lightly, "Looks like it's a rumor. That's good. Although I have an engagement with the Second Lady, if the Second Lady is really unwilling, I will not force it. I will personally write to the Emperor to cancel this engagement."
Chu Li said, "Thank you, Your Highness. But if the Second Lady is really unwilling, isn't it too late for Your Highness to say this now? Moreover, can Your Highness really cancel the Emperor's engagement? "
King An was suddenly furious. His eyes were cold.
Chu Li looked down and did not look at him.
Even if he groveled, he would not be able to change King An's mind and not kill him. If that was the case, he would not let go of the opportunity to embarrass him. It would be best to make him lose his mind.
An irrational King An would be easier to deal with.
He glanced at Xu Ning who was on the other side of King An.
The little monk looked down and did not say a word. He did not even move, which made people involuntarily ignore him.
But in Chu Li's eyes, Xu Ning was very obvious. The sarira beads in his hand emitted a golden light that enveloped him and King An. His Omniscient Mirror could not see through King An's heart.
Chu Li thought to himself that he had to think of a way to make Xu Ning leave.
The monks from the Titanium Temple wanted him to listen to them. He could only start with cultivation.
The horses galloped. The entire group did not speak. They all heard the conversation between Chu Li and King An and were frightened. Even if he was rank one, he must be tired of living to dare to talk to His Highness like that!
Prince An gradually suppressed his anger and slowly said, "I heard that you want to follow me to the Imperial Residence?"
Chu Li said, "The Lady can't live without her family to serve her."
"If she's from her maiden family, she'll have to bring her maidservants. What's the point of bringing a grown man like you along? "Prince An said lightly.
Chu Li said seriously, "The inside of the Imperial Residence is unfathomable. Second Lady is alone with only a maid to accompany her. I really can't feel at ease! … Could it be that Princess Xue and Princess Song only brought maids into the mansion? The two side concubines could bring guards into the fu, but Second Miss, as the main concubine, could not bring guards? … It seems that in His Highness' heart, the old people are more important. Miss has respected His Highness' virtuous name in vain. I admire your highness, so as soon as I recovered my health, I didn't care that your highness is over forty years old and insisted on carrying out the engagement. If I knew your highness' thoughts, I don't know how sad Second Miss would be. As the Miss's bodyguard, I also feel disappointed! "
King An's face darkened and he shouted, "How dare you!"
Chu Li's expression did not change. "I'm just speaking logically. How am I being presumptuous?"
"You dare to sow discord between me and Second Miss? Isn't that presumptuous?! "King An said coldly.
Chu Li said, "As the Second Miss's Scribe, I saw that Your Highness is so biased. If I have been presumptuous, I can only hope that Your Highness will forgive me!"
"If there's a next time. I will not forgive you! " King An stared at him coldly and murderously, "In the Imperial Residence, the law is merciless. Don't blame me for not warning you!"
"Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness!" Chu Li closed fist saluted and said seriously.
Seeing him like this, King An became even angrier, but he knew that being angry would not help.
Find an opportunity. Just kill him. If two Grandmasters could not kill him, then three. If three was not enough, then four, six, eight. If all the Grandmasters in the Imperial Residence were to be mobilized, he did not believe that he could not kill this brat!
Thinking of this, he gradually calmed down. There was no need for him to waste his energy on a dead man.
He waved his hand and said lightly, "You may leave. I need some peace and quiet."
"Yes, Your Highness. I will take my leave." Chu Li closed fist saluted and retreated.
He went to the last position of the line.
Zhao Qingshan and another Grandmaster, Lu Donglou, came over.
Zhao Qingshan whispered, "Chief, why did you have to contradict King An?"
Lu Donglou said, "It was satisfying, but I'm afraid that there will be future troubles. This King An does not look like a broad-minded person."
Chu Li smiled, "I know what I'm doing. Elder Zhao, Elder Lu, be careful. If there's an assassin, don't rush forward."
"Hehe, yes." The two of them smiled and answered.
The following day, Chu Li stayed at the back of the line. He did not meet King An, and King An was too lazy to see him.
They traveled at full speed. The sixteen porters were all Light-body Technique Masters. Their speed was not any slower than a fast horse. The rest of them rode on horses and traveled at full speed.
On the evening of the second day, they missed their lodging and rested in a post house in the forest.
Chu Li, Zhao Qingshan and Lu Donglou gathered together. These two days, they followed the line obediently. Meng Zhi, who was secretly watching him, was relieved.
The moon was in the middle of the sky. King An was surrounded by everyone. He sat cross-legged around the campfire.
The campfire was blazing, lighting up the surroundings.
Everyone sat in twos and threes, meditating and adjusting their breath. They maintained a state of vigilance.
The journey was too peaceful. It made everyone's hair stand on end.
According to their guesses, there should be some twists and turns along the way. There would always be some ignorant people who would cause trouble.
In the end, the journey was peaceful. No one jumped out.
This made them more worried. The calmer it was, the more powerful the explosion would be. Especially since they might be able to reach Chong Ming Town tomorrow. Tonight was their best chance to act!
"Who is it!" Chu Li shouted and opened his eyes.
Ten men in black leaped out from the forest. They were like ten wisps of smoke. They struck their palms in the air.
The guards of honor at the outermost layer, although they had martial arts, they were not considered masters.
They collided with the invisible palm energy and flew out.
Chu Li suddenly flashed and appeared beside King An. Zhao Qingshan and Lu Donglou followed closely behind him and rushed over.
Zheng Lide and Meng Zhi were also beside King An. The other two Grandmasters rushed out to meet the ten men.
"Bang bang!" The two Grandmasters were directly hit and flew out.
The ten men who came were all Grandmasters. King An's Grandmasters could not even withstand a single blow from the ten palm energy.
King An said in a deep voice, "Who are you!"
"Hehe, Your Highness, it must have been hard for you to come all the way here!" One of the men in black sneered and waved his hand. The ten men in black leaped up and rushed towards King An.
Chu Li looked up and let out a long howl.
As soon as the howl ended, more than ten long howls echoed from not far away.
The howls merged into one and resounded through the night sky.
The ten men in black's expression changed slightly. They stopped moving.
These ten long howls belonged to Grandmasters. They were not inferior to him. Some were even stronger.
Chu Li smiled at King An. "Don't worry, Your Highness. Since you are in our territory, the House of High Dukes will not let you get hurt. Your Highness, watch how we capture them!"
The fifteen Grandmasters were all dressed in blue robes with blue scarves covering their faces. They appeared behind the ten men in black and surrounded them.
Chu Li said in a deep voice, "Don't let any of them go. Kill them all!"
"Yes!" The fifteen Grandmasters shouted in a deep voice.
Chu Li turned his head and said, "Elder Zhao, Elder Lu, you two go too!"
"Yes!" Zhao Qingshan and Lu Donglou closed fist saluted. They fluttered and joined the group of masked men in blue.
King An's face was pale. He stared coldly at Chu Li.
