"Captain?" The two looked at him eagerly.
Chu Li waved his hand and said, "You two can go back first."
"Then are we going to chase after Minister Counsellor Zhou?" The two asked quickly.
Chu Li shook his head, "We'll see."
"… Alright." The two looked at him unwillingly, hoping that he would change his mind.
Chu Li had already turned his head and looked into the distance thoughtfully. His eyes were already out of focus, as if he was daydreaming.
"Sigh …" The two looked at each other helplessly and could only leave slowly.
Leng Qiu and Leng Qing did not care about this. They practiced their swordsmanship over and over again. It was boring but enjoyable. They felt the heat rolling through their bodies. The feeling of tiredness and comfort was especially tempting.
After a while, Chu Li left the courtyard and disappeared in a flash. The next moment, he appeared outside a large courtyard.
He looked at the courtyard. It was gloomy and gray. The courtyard seemed to be shrouded in a layer of green air. It was the aura of death.
There were corpses in the courtyard. Almost none of the corpses were intact. It was frightening to look at. Those who were timid would faint from fright. Those who were brave would feel sick to their stomachs and want to vomit.
Chu Li looked through the Omniscient Mirror and confirmed his thoughts. He immediately disappeared.
With a trace of intuition, his figure flashed and reappeared continuously. When he finally stopped, it felt like a long time had passed.
Through the dagger, he sensed that this place should be next to the owner of the dagger.
It was already evening and the sun was setting.
Three people were sitting in a gazebo by the road eating. One was wearing a blue Confucian robe while the other two were in embroidered robes. They looked travel-worn.
"Sigh … They are so useless!" A handsome middle-aged man in embroidered robes sighed. His face was full of helplessness, "They still haven't caught up after so long. Could it be that they still haven't caught up after we returned to the Li Dynasty?"
"Why don't we slow down?" The other middle-aged man in embroidered robes was short and fat. He looked very amiable.
"No need. Just follow the original plan." The young man in embroidered robes shook his head.
He was handsome with a cold gaze. His speech was not very clear.
"Yes, yes. It is best to follow the plan." The short and fat man quickly said.
"These guys are really disappointing!" The handsome middle-aged man snorted. "I really didn't expect them to be so useless!"
"Brother He," the Confucian-robed youth said, "We can't underestimate them, they have quite a few experts."
"So what if he's an expert?" The handsome middle-aged man pursed his lips. "If he was really that powerful, he wouldn't have let us leave Fairy's Capital so easily."
"He does live up to his reputation." The pudgy middle-aged man nodded and said, "At first, I was very cautious and cautious. Now that I've encountered them, I know that they're vulnerable. The Ji Dynasty is getting worse. I think our Li Dynasty's cavalry will be invincible!"
"I hope so." The scholarly robed young man glanced at the two and shook his head.
However, he was not as optimistic as the other two.
Chu Li frowned for a moment, but in a flash, he returned to King An's Imperial Residence.
He picked up the items on the stone table and left the Imperial Residence, arriving at the Secret Guardians Hall.
Other than Fu Mengshan and Xu Huande in the hall, Ma Kun, who had caused trouble earlier, was also there.
Ma Kun was reporting the progress of the matter to the two of them.
When he saw Chu Li enter, he frowned and glared at Chu Li. His face darkened.
Chu Li fist saluted and calmly glanced at Ma Kun.
"Young Chu, how was it? Have you seen the Minister Counsellor's Residence?" Fu Mengshan smiled.
Chu Li calmly said, "Commander, Commander Xu, I have a few words to report to you alone."
Ma Kun's face darkened even more. "Chu Li, you're asking me to leave, right?"
Chu Li nodded. "I hope Senior Ma can understand. I can't tell others about this."
"Why, I can tell others? Am I a traitor? Chu Li, you're too arrogant!" Ma Kun yelled.
Chu Li frowned and glanced at Fu Mengshan and Xu Huande.
Fu Mengshan quickly waved his hand. "Alright, Elder Ma. Shut up and listen to what Young Chu has to say!"
He smiled again. "Young Chu, Elder Ma is an old man. He's very tight-lipped. You can just say whatever you want to say."
Chu Li sighed. "Commander, with Senior Ma here, I'm afraid I'll be interrupted. It'll take too much effort to explain!"
"Alright then, Elder Ma. Don't interrupt!" Fu Mengshan smiled.
Ma Kun scoffed and glared at Chu Li.
Chu Li said, "Commander, I'm afraid this is a trap."
"A trap?" Fu Mengshan was stunned.
Xu Huande quickly said, "What do you mean? Speak clearly!"
Chu Li said, "I'm guessing that the Minister Counsellor is already dead. The real traitor is not the Minister Counsellor but someone in disguise."
"Impossible!" Ma Kun yelled.
Chu Li looked at him and then at Fu Mengshan.
Fu Mengshan quickly waved his hand and gestured for Ma Kun to shut up. He stared at Chu Li. "How can you think like that! … That's impossible, right? "
Chu Li said, "Then who has seen the Minister Counsellor? The Ning brothers haven't caught up with him yet, right? Then how can you be sure that the one who escaped is the Minister Counsellor? "
"The Minister Counsellor's family from a month ago …"
Chu Li said, "Isn't the family really sick?"
"But they …" Fu Mengshan hesitated and rubbed his eyebrows. "This is really hard to explain!"
They did not see the Minister Counsellor's family, but it was only for the past two days. Maybe they were really sick and lived in seclusion, so they really did not see them.
Chu Li said, "Commander, you know that I also know tracking techniques."
He placed the four items on the table.
"These three items belong to the Minister Counsellor." Chu Li took the dagger away and pointed at the remaining three items. "I can no longer sense the owner, but this dagger belongs to someone else. I can sense it."
"How do you know that these three items belong to the Minister Counsellor?" Ma Kun could not help but scoff. "The residence is in ruins, where did this come from?"
Chu Li said, "This jade pendant was found in the ruins and was buried underground. The other two were given by the Minister Counsellor to his best friend. They were all treasured by the Minister Counsellor for many years and played with them for many years. I can sense the Minister Counsellor with them, but unfortunately, the Minister Counsellor has passed away."
"Is your tracking technique real or fake?" Ma Kun scoffed.
Chu Li did not bother with him and looked at Fu Mengshan. "If I'm not wrong, the real Minister Counsellor is dead. The one who is escaping is an imposter!"
"Why?" Fu Mengshan was puzzled. "Just to go against the Secret Guardians Hall?"
Chu Li pondered. "What I'm worried about is that he wants to divert our attention! … The Holy Church of Light. "
"You're guessing that it's the Holy Church of Light?" Fu Mengshan's expression changed.
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Fu Mengshan and Xu Huande looked at each other with a serious expression.
Ma Kun frowned and did not say a word.
He saw that Fu Mengshan and Xu Huande had listened to him. With the intelligence of the two commanders, they would not be easily fooled. He could see that they trusted Chu Li's tracking technique.
If that was the case, they would be a joke. They were led by the nose and played around. It was so embarrassing!
"How confident are you?" Fu Mengshan asked. "Young Chu, you know that this is a serious matter."
Xu Huande said, "If there's a mistake and the real Minister Counsellor escapes, we'll all be finished!"
Chu Li said, "Most likely! … The Ning brothers should be able to catch up. We'll know once we verify it! "
"Elder Ma, have you met the Minister Counsellor before?" Fu Mengshan asked.
Ma Kun quickly nodded. "Yes, we have a good relationship."
"You go!" Fu Mengshan said. "Go and come back quickly. Watch carefully!"
"… Yes!" Ma Kun said.
