Leng Qiu rode on her horse, beaming with joy, "Head Chief, how was my swordsmanship?"
Chu Li smiled, "Your ability to seize the opportunity is a little lacking. Logically speaking, with your swordsmanship, you should be able to defeat him in ten moves!"
"I wanted to play it safe, I only had one chance!" Leng Qiu smiled.
She was in a great mood, wishing she could fly.
Leng Qing said, "I think Young Qiu has already used it well, if it was me, I would not dare to attack until more than a hundred moves!"
"That's because she was not forced to that step," Chu Li smiled, "Leng Tao's sarcasm made her perform better than usual."
Leng Qiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes, the angrier I am, the clearer my mind is, I saw his flaw!"
They discussed as they rode on their horses.
Chu Li called Liu Xing over and whispered a few instructions. Liu Xing nodded slowly, turned his horse around and went back.
Leng Qiu could not stop talking excitedly, Xue Ningyu was also beaming.
The Hunting Ceremony this time was still hosted by Prince Bao.
When he arrived at the tall building, he saw Chu Li in the crowd. He smiled and nodded, then walked into the tall building with a sullen face. He spoke to the crowd about the benevolence of the Emperor, the painstaking efforts of the ancestors, and how they should cherish this opportunity and work hard to build the army.
After an hour, he announced the start of the Hunting Ceremony.
This time, because Leng Feng was not there, Lu Yu Rong and Princess Lu did not come, which made Chu Li a little disappointed.
Leng Qiu and Leng Qing were very popular, they were quickly pulled aside by some women to talk to her, asking her about swordsmanship and the situation at that time.
The news of her defeating Leng Tao in one move had spread throughout the entire Imperial Enclosure, everyone knew about it.
Chu Li sized up the cavalrymen in the enclosure.
It was rare for Leng Tao to be so strong-willed, even though he was injured, he still insisted on fighting and would not run away.
After a while, Chu Li's expression changed.
He saw Leng Tao being heavily injured, knocked by a horse, then stepped on twice by the horse's hooves, coincidentally on the wound on his stomach, so he screamed and fell to the ground, struggling and screaming.
Chu Li frowned, the cavalryman who stepped on him did not do it on purpose, it was really a coincidence, Leng Tao was really unlucky.
Prince Bao shouted from upstairs, "Protector Leng Tao, go over immediately!"
Zhu Tian Hua responded in a low voice. Like a wisp of smoke, he traveled a mile in the blink of an eye and arrived in front of Leng Tao. He helped him up and walked back.
Leng Qiu broke away from her sisters and came before Chu Li. "Head Chief, what happened to Leng Tao?"
Chu Li smiled. "What bad luck."
Leng Qiu hurriedly asked, "He won't die, right?"
If he really stabbed Gu Lengtao and caused Gu Lengtao's death, then his sin would be too great.
Chu Li said, "I won't die."
Zhu Tianhua quickly brought Leng Tao back.
Chu Li stepped forward and tossed a jade bottle over. "There's a Spirit Blessing Pill inside, take it."
Leng Tao was wearing a full set of armor. His face was as pale as paper as he glared at him hatefully. "Thank you so much!"
If he hadn't been injured, he wouldn't have been injured.
Chu Li said, "If you don't want to die, then take this Spirit Blessing Pill. Otherwise, you won't be able to make it back to the Public House. I'm not trying to scare you!"
Leng Tao's expression changed slightly.
Chu Li said, "His internal organs are ruptured and he's bleeding non-stop. It seems that this Protector of yours isn't very familiar with injuries."
Leng Tao scoffed. "You don't have to worry about it."
"Alright, then take back the Spirit Blessing Pill. One pill for one life, it's very precious!" Chu Li extended his hand.
Zhu Tianhua hurriedly said, "Thank you, Head Chief."
He immediately poured out the Spirit Blessing Pill and stuffed it into Leng Tao's mouth.
Leng Tao only felt a clear current entering his body. In the blink of an eye, it circled around his body. The original pain and weakness disappeared, the cold disappeared and was replaced with a warm and comfortable feeling. As expected of the Spirit Blessing Pill!
Chu Li grinned. "Crown Prince Tao, you want Brother Zhu to kill me, don't you?"
Leng Tao's expression changed slightly. He scoffed. "How did you know?"
Chu Li said, "You owe me a life now."
Leng Tao gritted his teeth. "What do you want?"
"Give this Brother Zhu to me." Chu Li smiled.
"In your dreams!" Leng Tao shouted.
Chu Li said, "Your life is not enough to exchange for Brother Zhu?"
"Change your condition!" Leng Tao scoffed. "Moreover, even if I don't accept the Spirit Blessing Pill, I won't die."
"You should know how serious your injuries are." Chu Li shook his head. "Did you feel cold just now? That's the sign of your life fading away. You'll understand when you go back. "
"I can't give Protector Zhu to you. Just give up!" Leng Tao said.
"You have Chen Kong anyway." Chu Li said, "One more Protector is not much. Alright, I only have this one request. If you don't want to give it to me, then forget it!"
"Chu Li, what do you mean?" Leng Tao said.
Chu Li said, "I'll ask King Cheng for it. I'm sure in King Cheng's eyes, you're worth more than a Protector, right?"
"Why do you insist on asking for Protector Zhu?" Leng Tao frowned.
Chu Li said, "Because I like people who are loyal to their relationships. I'll redeem Miss Mu Qing too!"
"A hundred thousand taels of silver!" Leng Tao laughed coldly. "Do you have it?"
"I don't have a hundred thousand taels of silver." Chu Li shook his head. "But Brother Zhu, you should understand that even if you have a hundred thousand taels of silver, you won't be able to redeem someone from the Verdant Cloud Brothel if you don't have enough backing!"
Zhu Tianhua took a deep breath and slowly nodded.
If it was a normal brothel, he would've robbed it with his status as a Grandmaster.
Unfortunately, the Verdant Cloud Brothel was the top brothel in the Fairy's Capital. There were four Grandmasters as Protectors. He had no confidence in robbing Mu Qing. More importantly, it was said that Mu Qing was poisoned. Without the antidote, robbing her would be useless. He might even harm her.
Chu Li said, "Even someone like Prince Tao might not be useful!"
Leng Tao scoffed. "Nonsense!"
Chu Li said, "I'm from the Secret Guardians Hall now. My words should be more useful than Prince Tao, right?"
At this moment, Liu Xing galloped over on his horse.
He landed in front of Chu Li and presented a thin piece of paper with both hands.
Chu Li nodded in satisfaction and passed it to Zhu Tianhua. "Brother Zhu, this is for you."
Zhu Tianhua shook his head.
Chu Li said, "This is Miss Mu Qing's contract. Are you sure you don't need it?"
Zhu Tianhua's expression changed. He quickly reached out to receive it.
"Chu Li, you're trying to steal my woman!" Leng Tao gritted his teeth and stared at him fiercely. "You're too cruel!"
Chu Li said, "Don't forget, you owe me a life!"
He was forced to save Leng Tao. But since he did, he naturally wanted to get back at him.
Zhu Tianhua was roped in by Leng Tao. His cultivation level was high and he was a good helper. It would be best to keep him by his side and order him around.
Leng Tao scoffed. "You're asking for repayment. You're too despicable!"
"I like it that way. Do you agree or not?" Chu Li smiled. "Brother Zhu, I'll be waiting for you at the Imperial Residence. Miss Mu Qing is there!"
He stood up and returned to Siao Shi's side.
Siao Shi glanced at Leng Tao. "Wouldn't it be better to let this guy die."
"His death is not to be regretted. But we're in trouble." Chu Li said.
Prince Cheng only had this one son. If he really died, he would definitely go crazy. He was not afraid but he was afraid that he would harm Leng Qiu and Leng Qing. He might not be able to protect them. These days, he liked Leng Qiu and Leng Qing very much. He could not bear to see them die.
Siao Shi said, "Can you get Zhu Tianhua over?"
"It won't be easy." Chu Li smiled. "He's a good helper. Prince Cheng will not let him go."
"But you still want him."
"That Body Contract can force him to come here." Chu Li smiled.
