"Alright, since Young Chu insists, then let's go," Fu Mengshan waved his hand, "Young Chu knows what he's doing, I trust him."
"Commander, you don't trust me then!" Ma Kun looked at him with dissatisfaction.
Fu Mengshan laughed, "Elder Ma, you're an old man, who else would I trust if not you? You don't understand Young Chu. Although he's young, he can't be underestimated. With his Light-body Technique, even if he leaves a little later, he can still meet up with the Ning brothers before us! "
Chu Li looked at him and smiled, "Commander, I might not be able to do it, I'm not that good."
"Haha, you're so humble!" Fu Mengshan laughed out loud.
Xu Huande said, "Elder Ma, time is precious now, don't talk nonsense and think of a way to catch up to the minister counsellor!"
"I'm just angry that he's slacking off. The Ning brothers' tracking skills are unparalleled, they'll definitely catch up. The key is to be fast, if we're late and enter the Li Dynasty, it won't be easy to catch up! "Ma Kun scoffed.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Xu Huande said coldly.
Ma Kun said, "Why don't we issue a martial arts hunting order?"
"You're crazy! Haven't we embarrassed ourselves enough? These people from the martial arts world are extremely unreliable, who knows what they can do! "Xu Huande said coldly.
"It's good that we can stall them," Ma Kun said, "or send a letter to the General's Residence."
"The General's Residence won't listen to us!" Xu Huande shook his head.
The Secret Guardians Hall and the General's Residence were sworn enemies, they hated each other and would never cooperate.
"This concerns their safety, if the minister counsellor escapes to the Li Dynasty, they'll be in danger too!" Ma Kun said, "There's no harm in trying! I think we should leave this to Chu Li, his Light-body Technique is good, he'll be faster than our carrier pigeon! "
Everyone gloated as they watched Ma Kun make things difficult for Chu Li.
Chu Li's expression was calm, it was hard to tell if he was happy or angry.
This made everyone feel a little scared.
He was so young, yet he was able to keep his composure, his shrewdness far surpassed most of the people here. This kind of person would definitely not pay with his life, it was better to stay away from him.
Fu Mengshan waved his hand, "Stop coming up with bad ideas! Old Ma, I'll leave this matter to you. Go tell the General's Residence and ask them to find masters to block the road to the Li Dynasty! "
"… Yes, we'll have to do it when the time comes!" Ma Kun helplessly agreed and glared at Chu Li.
Chu Li looked at him calmly.
He could see the reason clearly. Ma Kun was targeting him because one of the two people Xiao Shi killed was Ma Kun's nephew.
Ma Kun frowned. This little guy was really good at enduring. He had provoked him so much and yet he did not explode. He did not even give Ma Kun a chance to deal with him.
Didn't they say that he was an arrogant fellow who would get angry at the slightest provocation? Once he got angry, he would recklessly beat people up. He even beat the Crown Prince if he wanted to.
Now, it seemed that it was not the case. It seemed that he had to be careful. This kind of guy was like a dog that didn't bark when it bit.
"Go back to your work." Fu Mengshan waved his hand. "Those in charge of intelligence, this matter is of the highest priority. Those in charge of intercepting and killing, send people over as soon as possible. The Ning brothers need expert support. Old Ma, you have to send people over … If we can't get through this, none of us will be able to escape!"
"Don't worry, Commander. I will send out four groups. One group will go to the General's Residence, one group will go after the Ning brothers, one group will look for spies, and the last group will spread the news that the Minister Counsellor has martial arts secret manuals! "
"Hmm, very good. Go!" Fu Mengshan waved his hand.
Everyone retreated. Before they left, they took a deep look at Chu Li, wanting to see through him.
When the crowd dispersed, only Fu Mengshan and Xu Huande were left in the main hall.
Fu Mengshan sighed and shook his head. "Young Chu, don't bother with Old Ma. He's just that straightforward. If he has any grievances, he will vent them. He doesn't have any bad intentions!"
Chu Li smiled.
This was called having no bad intentions. He was just short of shedding all pretense of cordiality and fighting.
Xu Huande said, "Do you think there's really an inside story?"
Chu Li shook his head. "Senior Ma is right. No matter what the inside story is, we can only chase and kill them if they betray us. I want to see if I can find some personal belongings for tracking."
"I forgot that your tracking technique requires personal clothing." Xu Huande nodded. "Although the Ning brothers' tracking technique is the best in the world, there are always accidents. It's better if you track them yourself!"
Fu Mengshan said, "Go quickly. Do you need someone to help?"
"No need. My two subordinates will do," Chu Li said.
"Alright, move as soon as possible." Fu Mengshan sighed. "Time waits for no man. That damned guy wants to drag the Secret Guardians Hall down with him!"
Xu Huande scoffed. "I believe we can catch him!"
"People like the Minister Counsellor …" Fu Mengshan shook his head. "None of these high-ranking officials are easy to deal with. How can they not prepare an escape route? He will definitely include us in the Secret Guardians Hall!"
He was completely different from the confidence he had in front of the crowd. His face was filled with worry.
Chu Li did not let his guard down.
This was an old fox. His expression and his heart were two different things. His heart had always been calm.
Chu Li said, "Commander, this isn't a trick, right?"
"What trick?" Fu Mengshan was stunned.
Chu Li smiled. "Then forget it."
Fu Mengshan's mind turned. He shook his head and laughed. "Your brain is really … This time, it's real. There's no trick. Young Chu, you must do your best. Don't hide anymore! … If you can kill the Minister Counsellor, I will promote you to Sergeant! "
"Sergeant …" Chu Li smiled.
"Good boy, you have a big appetite!" Fu Mengshan saw his expression and knew that he was not satisfied. He gritted his teeth. "How about this. If you can kill the Minister Counsellor before the Ning brothers do, I will promote you to Centurion. How about that? This way, Old Ma can't make things difficult for you! "
"I will do my best." Chu Li smiled. "Commander, you will keep your word, right?"
"I will never go back on my word. Commander Xu, be my witness!" Fu Mengshan said.
Xu Huande said, "If you can really kill the Minister Counsellor, being a Centurion is nothing."
Above the Centurion was the Deputy Commander. They were considered the top officials of the Secret Guardians Hall.
Chu Li's rank was enough. He only lacked merit. This time, the Secret Guardians Hall was in trouble. If he could not kill the Minister Counsellor, the Commander and the Deputy Commander would not have a good ending. It would be the Emperor's mercy if he could guard the Imperial Mausoleum.
At this time, how could he be stingy with a Centurion!
Chu Li could do things that others could not. Although Ma Kun and the others were reliable, it was hard to be surprised. The Minister Counsellor might have already seen through their routine.
If Chu Li could do it, he would be willing to give up the Centurion.
Moreover, if this news were to spread to Old Ma and the others, it would make them even crazier.
Killing two birds with one stone. Why not?
Chu Li closed fist saluted. "I will take my leave!"
He left the main hall. Dong Qifei and Yang Zongwen were already standing outside.
"Captain …?" They quickly said.
Chu Li waved his hand. "Follow me to the Minister Counsellor's Residence."
"Yes." Dong Qifei and Yang Zongwen quickly nodded.
Dong Qifei said, "I know that place. There was a big fire yesterday."
"All burned?" Chu Li asked as he walked.
