PS: I wanted to add more chapters today but the more I wanted to write, the more I couldn't. My head hurts.
? When Liang arrived at Mei Er Courtyard, he saw Chu Li drinking tea at the stone table in the courtyard. There were some files on the stone table. He was drinking tea while reading the files with a focused expression. Yang Zongwen stood at the side to serve him.
The rest of the people were training in the martial arts field. It was bustling with noise and laughter could be heard from time to time.
The Mei Er Courtyard had the most Grandmasters, and this was publicly acknowledged by all the secret guardians. Moreover, these Grandmasters were extremely loyal to Chu Li. After all, they were all saved by Chu Li, and he had given them a new lease on life.
? Liang sighed to himself. This kind of luck was something that no one could be envious of. If he had so many Grandmasters supporting him, he could also do whatever he wanted in the Secret Guardians Hall. No one would care about him, and he could do whatever he wanted.
“? Brother. "Yang Zongwen fist saluted.
Chu Li looked up.
"Greetings, Centurion Chu." Liang fist saluted and smiled. "It's been a while. Centurion Chu, you look better than before. Congratulations!"
"What's the matter?" Chu Li nodded.
? Liang said, "Commander Gu wants to see you."
"Sit down and talk." Chu Li pointed at the stone bench opposite him.
? Liang was helpless. He could only sit opposite him and move his butt uncomfortably.
Chu Li's eyes were bright as if he could see through his thoughts.
"Your Mei Er Courtyard sure is free." Liang smiled. "I really admire you!"
"You can come to Mei Er Courtyard too." Chu Li said.
? Liang shook his head. "I'm not that lucky."
Chu Li said, "What does this new Commander Gu want?"
"Nothing. Mei Er Courtyard is too quiet." Liang said happily. "I think it's a waste. There are so many Grandmasters who only eat and don't work. How can I get used to it!"
"He doesn't know about the situation in Mei Er Courtyard?" Chu Li asked.
? Liang said, "I've said it before. A new leader brings his own ministers. He's new so he wants to change the rules. He's eager to make everyone listen to him."
"Hmm …" Chu Li muttered, "Does he mean to make our Mei Er Courtyard move?"
"Yes." Liang nodded.
Chu Li asked, "Is there anything else?"
"He's also very curious about you, the famous Chief Steward Chu." Liang smiled.
Chu Li nodded. "Alright then, I'll go and pay my respects."
? Liang cupped his fists and smiled, "Please!"
He knew how powerful Chu Li was because he had personally witnessed Chu Li's rapid rise from a Secret Guardian who was ostracized to a Centurion in less than a year. Therefore, no matter who became a Commander or a Deputy Commander, they would not be able to suppress Centurion Chu.
Yang Zongwen looked at Chu Li worriedly.
Chu Li waved his hand. "It's not like it's a dragon's lair or a tiger's den. It's just a meeting!"
"Then be careful, Centurion," Yang Zongwen said.
Chu Li smiled. Follow? Liang arrived at the main hall.
In the main hall, Gu Yu was deep in thought as he read the dossier.
These files were all about the cases that Chu Li had solved. Chu Li's abilities were top secret, and there were no traces left on them. However, through the records of these cases, one could see that he was extraordinary and powerful.
After reading these files, Gu Yu realized that Chu Li's reputation was well-deserved. If it were someone else, they would not have been able to solve these cases.
It was no wonder that Fu Mengshan and Xu Huan relied on him so much, even if he was the Head Chief of King An's Imperial Residence.
"Commander Gu, Centurion Chu is here." Liang reported from outside the hall.
"Come in!" Gu Yu said in a deep voice. He raised his head and straightened his back, his eyes bright and threatening.
Chu Li stepped into the main hall and cupped his fists. "Greetings, Commander Gu!"
His eyes met Gu Yu's for a moment before he looked away.
"Centurion Chu, I've long heard of your name in the Imperial House!" Gu Yu smiled and extended his hand. "We finally meet today. Please take a seat!"
Chu Li sat down with a fist salute.
"Centurion Chu, as soon as you came out of isolation, you came across Consort Ping's assassination case. You investigated it together with Commander Xu, right?" Gu Yu flashed a smile. His gaze was amiable and there was not a hint of fierceness in it. Instead, there was a sense of familiarity.
Chu Li replied, "It was a coincidence that the case was solved."
"Sigh …" Gu Yu shook his head. "Commander Xu was really wronged. No one could've done anything when something like this happened. In the end, he could only resign and guard the Imperial Mausoleum!"
Chu Li nodded.
Gu Yu kept the dossier and said nonchalantly, "Commander Xu did a good deed. He closed the case before he left and saved us a lot of trouble. I heard that Centurion Chu also helped us."
Chu Li replied, "I was only responsible for catching the accomplice. As for the rest, I could only leave it to Commander Xu because I had to participate in the Hunting Ceremony. By the time I returned from the Hunting Ceremony, Commander Xu had already left for Fairy's Capital. It happened so quickly that I didn't even know what happened after that. I don't know if the mastermind was found."
"Didn't Commander Xu tell you?" Gu Yu was surprised.
Chu Li said, "I wanted to ask Commander Xu but he had already left when I returned to the city. It seems like it didn't go well. Otherwise, Commander Xu wouldn't have to resign!"
Gu Yu lamented, "Commander Xu was unlucky. It seems that the accomplice you caught was dead. Commander Xu didn't get any information so he closed the case!"
"Dead?" Chu Li frowned. "He took the Spirit Blessing Pill. How could he be dead?"
"He didn't survive the interrogation." Gu Yu spread his hands and sighed. "Maybe Commander Xu was too impatient and used too much force!"
"That shouldn't be …" Chu Li was still confused. He frowned. "With the Spirit Blessing Pill's effect, even the most severe interrogation wouldn't be fatal!"
"If that's the case …" Gu Yu was also confused. "Is there something else?"
"Most likely." Chu Li said, "Could it be that Commander Xu got some information that he shouldn't have? Then, he saw that the situation was bad and could only protect himself? … It can't be someone from the Ji Dynasty, right? "
His expression changed as he looked at Gu Yu.
Gu Yu's expression changed as well. He quickly waved his hand. "Don't talk nonsense!"
Chu Li said in a low voice, "It's possible! … King Ping has a lot of achievements in the war and has worked hard, but he's also envied by others. If someone does something to Consort Ping and King Ping finds out, what will happen? … The world will be in chaos! "
"Centurion Chu!" Gu Yu hurriedly waved his hand. "Shut up!"
He strode to the entrance of the main hall and looked around before waving his hand. "You may leave!"
There were two protectors outside the main hall. They quickly fist saluted and left.
Gu Yu's expression changed as he returned to his seat and glared at Chu Li.
Chu Li's expression darkened as well.
He seemed to be angry that he had guessed the truth.
Gu Yu sighed and said, "You'll lose your head if you speak like this. You mustn't speak carelessly!"
Chu Li coldly said, "Commander Xu is really unlucky! … Fortunately, I didn't participate in the interrogation and didn't know the details. Otherwise, as a centurion, I would have to guard the mausoleum with Commander Xu! "
