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 there was anyone with an unclear identity or unknown background, 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 were guilty and they must be captured. If they dared to resist, they would be killed.
They were prepared for a big battle.
Chu Li frowned and pondered. After some thought, he looked up and said, "I'll leave first. You stay here and don't do anything. Don't look for news about Meng Xiaoqi."
"Okay." Zhuo Fei raised his chin.
Chu Li 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 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 Liu Yurong?"
Chu Li said, "Miss Liu doesn't know either. Meng Xiaoqi seemed 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 fight?"
"Obviously." Chu Li smiled, "He's forcing me to come out, right?"
"Are you going to fight?" Siao Shi turned to look at him.
Chu Li slowly nodded, "I have no choice but to do so. Otherwise, how would we be able to stand up for King An's Imperial Residence?"
"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.
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, whether there are or not, we'll only know 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 too forceful, don't be too forceful, just deceive them, don't be too serious.'
The more he cried, the more Chu Li did not want to do as he wished. He said slowly, "I'd like to stop you. Let's see how the Secret Guardians Hall is going to kill without mercy. It's Commander Meng's first time here, but he wants to start a fire. How interesting! "
"Chu Li, are you really going to stop us from searching?" Chen Donghai scoffed.
Chu Li said, "Yes, you can do whatever 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, are you? You're new, right? "
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!"
"I don't deserve it!" 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 Commander Meng already knew that I'd 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." Meng Xiaoqi appeared from the corner amidst a hearty laughter. Four old men followed beside him. Their eyes were clear and bright, and their bodies were as light as a feather. It seemed as if they would float up at any time.
"I've long heard of your great name, 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. The word "Amnesty" was reflected in the sunlight. It looked like a dragon and a phoenix was dancing as if it was about to jump out of the gold plate. It was a shocking sight.
Chu Li frowned as he looked at the gold plate. He asked, "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 penetrated his body like solid mercury. It was all-pervasive and unstoppable. It instantly penetrated 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 he had plotted against Chu Li.
"Do you have any objections, Head Chief?" 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 chuckled. "I'd also like to see your power!"
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.
From the looks of it, the commander was better and could plot against Chu Li. Back then, Chu Li had planned everything. He only plotted against others and had never been plotted against by others!
