Lu Qingshan's face gradually darkened.
Would his subordinates really offend Ying Jie?
Unlikely.
Or rather, impossible.
How could his subordinates not know which was more important?
Therefore, it was obvious that Ying Jie was deliberately looking for trouble.
The purpose was either to anger him or to take down his two subordinates.
As for the reason.
Ying Jie was the eldest son of Great Flame Demon Master.
He had never been in contact with Ying Jie.
The only connection was that he had once led Ying Jun's death to Ying Jie.
Therefore, there was a high probability that it was related to this matter.
Was it revenge?
Chi Li explained awkwardly, "This kind of thing happened in my mansion, so I should help solve it.
However, Ying Jie's Demon Master is actually my elder, so I can't stop him for you. "
"This doesn't make sense."
He was indeed in a difficult position, and he was not patronizing Lu Qingshan.
In order to win over Qing Ge, he had already disrespected Black Wu. Naturally, he hoped to succeed in one day.
In other words, he had already paid a certain price.
Now that this matter had happened, there were many twists and turns in his plan to win over Ying Jie.
He did not expect Ying Jie to be so decisive.
After explaining the situation to Ying Jie, he saw that Ying Jie did not have any excessive reaction. He thought that Ying Jie had already decided to let this matter go.
Who would have thought that Ying Jie would directly attack his subordinates after knowing that he could not find trouble with Qing Ge?
Although this kind of action was not appropriate, it was within a reasonable range. Everyone knew that Ying Jie was deliberately causing trouble, but it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.
Chi Li rubbed his eyebrows.
In terms of value to him, Qing Ge should be above Ying Jie.
After all, Ying Jie was his father's subordinate. No matter how strong he was, it had nothing to do with him.
On the other hand, although Qing Ge was of mixed blood, his potential was unlimited. He also had a large interest area, the Limitless King Realm behind him. If he could win him over, it would definitely be a good deal.
However, because Ying Jie was his father's subordinate, even if he wanted to stand on Qing Ge's side, he could not directly do so.
If he did, wouldn't he be regarded as an ungrateful son?
Lu Qingshan could see that Chi Li was in a difficult position, so he stood up and cupped his hands, "Your Highness Chi Li, my subordinates are in trouble. I'm not in the mood to continue this Naked Fruit Banquet, so I'll take my leave first."
Chi Li nodded. "That's understandable."
"I will send someone to deliver your Red Pip fruit to your residence later," he said.
"In addition, if you like the two human girls and want to take them as your maids, I will send them to your mansion as a small gift to congratulate you on your wedding."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Lu Qingshan did not refuse Chi Li's kindness.
He was the son-in-law of the Shi Wu branch.
The Shi Wu Clan belonged to Chi Zun's faction, so no matter what, he could only choose to join Chi Zun's faction.
This was the most basic principle.
Chi Li thought highly of him and even tolerated his actions during the Naked Fruit Banquet.
Although all of this was due to the strength and potential that he had displayed.
However, there was no doubt that this was a piece of Wutong Tree and was worth perching on.
Although he did not like Chi Li, he did not intend to fall out with him for the time being.
"If you have any trouble, you can still come to me. I can more or less help you a little." Chi Li added, once again trying to rope him in.
"Mm." Lu Qingshan nodded slightly and turned to leave, leaving behind a group of people with different thoughts.
"Hmph!" Looking at his departing figure, Hei Wu, who was in the crowd, could not help but snort in satisfaction.
This was karma!
The living beings present also began to discuss this matter.
It was easy to imagine that this matter would quickly spread through their mouths.
The Demon Lord's family matters were considered a good topic to talk about.
.....
Grandblaze Demon Lord's residence.
Inside a secluded quiet room.
Three hazy figures could be seen.
One of the figures was tall and sturdy. He wore a long robe and had a gloomy gaze.
Ying Jie.
In front of him were two tightly bound figures, Yuluo and Ye Ying, who were unable to move or struggle.
They were Qing Ge's subordinates.
One was a sixth-grade, and the other was an eighth-grade.
However, to Ying Jie, this did not make much of a difference. He easily captured them and brought them back to his residence.
"I've carefully investigated Qing Ge's movements after he arrived at Jianluo Royal City. I didn't find any loopholes or clues."
"So, either this matter really has nothing to do with him, or he did it secretly."
Ying Jie thought to himself.
He was more inclined to the latter possibility.
Therefore, he needed a breakthrough.
Shi Wu Demon Lord had made it clear that he was not allowed to find trouble with Qing Ge.
This was something that even his father, the Great Blaze Demon Master, could not disobey, let alone him.
"I can't find trouble with Qing Ge, but it's not a big deal to touch his subordinates." Ying Jie let out a low hateful murmur.
Thinking of this, he raised his eyes.
He looked at Yuluo and Ye Ying, who he had captured and brought back to his residence on the grounds of offending him.
Killing two birds with one stone.
If Qing Ge wanted to get his two subordinates back from him, Qing Ge's connections on the surface were definitely not enough.
It was also a good opportunity to verify another possibility. Did Qing Ge have someone else to help him in Royal City?
"Now, I'll let you confess honestly," he murmured.
Now, he wanted to verify his first guess.
Did Qing Ge use some kind of trick to cross the sea by deception?
At this moment, Yuluo and Ye Ying's eyes were filled with panic.
They were suddenly captured by Ying Jie, and they were inexplicably terrified.
"Who should I start with?" Ying Jie's gaze swept across the two, and finally fixed on Ye Ying's face.
Well, an eighth-grade. Logically speaking, his status should be higher and he should know more information.
He narrowed his eyes, and a white furry bug appeared in his hand.
With a light flick, the bug landed on Ye Ying's face and entered his nostrils, disappearing without a trace.
A trace of pain flashed in Ying Jie's eyes.
He waited quietly for a few breaths.
Ye Ying's eyes began to turn white, and he lost his spirit, like a puppet.
He opened his mouth and asked, "What's your name?"
"Ye Ying," Ye Ying answered with a dull expression.
Yuluo saw this scene and widened her eyes in fear.
"Identity."
"I'm Qing Ge's guard."
"Very good." Ying Jie smiled with satisfaction, and asked the question he was most concerned about. "Does Ying Jun's death have anything to do with Qing Ge?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know?" He frowned, thought for a moment, and changed his question. "Did Qing Ge give you any orders recently?"
"His Highness Qing Ge told us not to go out and stay in the mansion to avoid trouble."
"That's it?"
"That's it."
Ying Jie was stunned.
This was completely different from what he expected.
In other words, Qing Ge did not order his subordinates to do anything special.
However, in his heart, he was certain that Qing Ge was the murderer.
Ying Jie thought for a moment, and soon had an answer.
For this matter, Qing Ge did not use his direct subordinates.
Indeed, if he did so, it would be too easy to find clues.
Ye Ying was just a subordinate, and did not know about this matter.
This kid was quite smart.
"Does Qing Ge know anyone in the royal city?" Ying Jie asked again.
There was no smoke without fire.
It was impossible for there to be a flawless assassination.
He changed his question.
"I don't know."
"You don't know again?" Ying Jie responded, and his eyes gradually became confused. He sensed that something was wrong.
Shouldn't the answer be yes or no?
Why did he say he didn't know?
Was this how you act as a subordinate?
Wait …
Ying Jie suddenly thought of another possibility.
"How long have you been following Qing Ge?"
"Almost half a month," Ye Ying continued to answer with a dull expression.
The whites of his eyes seemed to be rolling his eyes at him, full of mockery.
Creak, creak.
Ying Jie gritted his teeth so hard that creaking sounds could be heard.
"You've only been following Qing Ge for half a month, and Qing Ge brought you to Jianluo royal city?" He said with hidden anger.
Qing Ge only brought three subordinates to Jianluo royal city, a place he was unfamiliar with, and they were not his trusted subordinates?
Was this reasonable?
Without hesitation, Ying Jie reached out to release Yuluo, and asked directly, "How long have you been following Qing Ge? You'd better tell me the truth."
"Half a month," Yuluo answered with a trembling voice.
This shouldn't be important, and he could answer, right?
Yuluo knew that Ying Jie didn't have good intentions, but he also knew that if he didn't answer honestly, he would die an unnatural death.
He could only delay for a little bit, just a little bit.
On the other side, Ying Jie gritted his teeth even harder.
Very well, half a month too.
Qing Ge, what are you thinking?
The situation was very strange, and it didn't make sense.
However, it was this kind of action that did not conform to common sense that made Ying Jie even more concerned about Qing Ge.
There must be a reason for this abnormality.
"After Qing Ge came to Jianluo royal city, where did he go, and who did he meet?" Ying Jie was unwilling to give up and continued to ask.
"His Highness Qing Ge also lived in seclusion. Other than visiting Shi Wu Demon Venerable's residence and Mingyue Prefecture a few times, he didn't meet anyone else."
Ying Jie's eyes flickered.
Ye Ying's testimony led Qing Ge to the direction of being innocent again.
He didn't expect the situation to be so complicated.
In fact, if it was someone else, they would have already believed that Ying Jun's death had nothing to do with Lu Qingshan.
But he was different, and his heart was still incomparably firm.
But, he sighed deeply.
How did Qing Ge manage to kill Ying Jun?
Things seemed to have fallen into an endless loop again.
At this moment.
A slight sound suddenly came from outside the quiet room.
"Didn't I tell you not to disturb me if there's nothing important?" Ying Jie was very irritated, and there was a little anger in his voice.
"Your Highness, there's a reply from the Senluo King Realm, and there's also a piece of information." The person outside carefully replied, and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
"The information from the Senluo King Realm has arrived?" He muttered to himself, thinking of the day before yesterday when he secretly contacted Qing Ge's elder brother, Chi Pu.
His impatience immediately dissipated, and he left the quiet room.
A moment later, he reappeared in the quiet room.
There was a piece of black jade in his hand.
Unsurprisingly, Chi Pu agreed to his terms of cooperation.
And in the black jade, there was detailed information about Qing Ge.
"Let me see what you're capable of, kid."
Ying Jie thought, closed his eyes, and probed his mind into the black jade.
After a long time, he finally opened his eyes.
A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, as well as some annoyance.
"No wonder he would bring a subordinate who had followed him for less than half a month to Jianluo King City. It's because his original trusted subordinate, who was a spy that Chi Pu had placed around him, was just killed by him."
"In this case, he couldn't trust others, so in the end, he had to bring Blade Demon Venerable's men to Jianluo King City."
"If I had received this news earlier, I wouldn't have wasted a Soul Devouring Worm."
It seemed that it was hopeless to start with his subordinate.
Ying Jie thought so, and he felt extremely pained.
The Soul Devouring Worm was a special product of the Mental Demon Clan. It could devour the soul and turn people into puppets, and it had the effect of answering all questions.
Although there were many restrictions, because of this special ability, this worm was still very valuable, and it was extremely difficult to obtain.
Even with his wealth, he felt a little pained after knowing that this Soul Devouring Worm was wasted.
"I was anxious. Although I have to admit, this is the truth. Because of my father's reprimand, I lost my composure," Ying Jie said to himself.
Of course, he could see that Great Blaze Demon Venerable seemed to have determined that he was Ying Jun's murderer in his heart.
But he really wasn't.
He didn't show much emotion on his face, but in fact, he was really irritated.
That was why he had hurriedly made a move before the information was complete.
"No matter what, I shouldn't be anxious."
Ying Jie thought to himself.
The next moment, he closed his eyes slightly.
He began to recall and organize all the information about Qing Ge in his mind, and analyzed it meticulously.
From the information given by Chi Pu to the situation he saw.
He didn't let go of any details.
He looked back and forth with this information and made connections.
Qing Ge was a prodigy with an extremely high aptitude for combat.
However, because he was a mixed-blood, he was afraid that he would be targeted and framed. Thus, he did not dare to show his strength and bided his time. It was only after he married Ying Mingyue and left the Limitless King Realm that he began to show his strength.
But Qing Ge even pretended to resist when he was faced with the matter of becoming a son-in-law, trying to get Blood Spirit Crystals for himself by destroying human cities and gaining military merits.
It wasn't until he was seriously injured in the Extraterritorial Battlefield that he was "forced" to accept the fact that he was a son-in-law. Because of this, Chi Pu lost his vigilance.
Chi Pu guessed that the reason why Qing Ge was defeated in the Extraterritorial Battlefield was most likely intentional.
Because the defeat was too ridiculous.
He should have been aiming for the conditions of becoming a son-in-law from the beginning.
He just pretended to be injured first.
What a scheming person.
Ying Jie sighed with emotion.
This series of operations made him sigh with emotion at Qing Ge's shrewdness.
In the face of the opportunity to leave the Senluo King Realm, Qing Ge could still remain calm and pretend that he was forced to accept.
Smart, really smart!
But it was precisely because of this point that he was certain of his judgment.
It was because of this that he was able to come up with a flawless plan to kill Ying Jun.
If he wasn't so shrewd, how could he be so capable?
He continued to analyze.
At a certain moment, he suddenly came back to his senses and muttered, "No … this isn't right …"
According to Chi Pu, the spy he sent previously, Demon General Pu Qu, was deeply trusted by Qing Ge and followed Qing Ge all year round.
Although all of this was done by Qing Ge on purpose, it was just a facade to numb him.
But Demon General Pu Qu saw many things that Qing Ge did without a doubt.
It could be seen that Qing Ge had been staying in the Senluo Capital for so many years and rarely fought against enemies.
The problem was that Qing Ge had shown great attainments in sword skills in the Jianluo Capital City.
Moreover, his sword skills were not on the path of open and closed, but were more inclined towards the path of the human race's skills, complicated and profound.
The path of the sword was the most complicated, the most difficult, and the most focused on actual combat.
How could a mixed-blood Demon Soldier without much battle experience and without a master practice such powerful sword skills behind closed doors?
This was illogical.
In addition …
Chi Zun found remnants of Sword Qi on the wreckage of the battleship where Ying Jun was killed.
But it was Sword Qi.
Could it be that there was no connection at all?
Ying Jie shook his head.
So …
Qing Ge most likely had a master in the dark.
A master who taught him sword skills and helped him kill Ying Jun!
Yes, that must be it.
Moreover, Qing Ge's master must be in the Jianluo Capital City now, not too far away from Qing Ge.
"I have to force this person out." Ying Jie closed his eyes and pondered for a moment.
With Qing Ge's shrewdness, ordinary methods would not work.
He gradually had an idea in his mind.
He could only take a risk.
Once Qing Ge was in a life and death crisis, his master would have to do something.
It was against the rules to make a move in the capital city.
Shi Wu Demon Venerable had repeatedly ordered them not to do anything bad to Qing Ge.
He was openly disobeying the order.
"But now, I'm the only heir of the Ying Family. Even if Grandfather Shi Wu knows that I made a move on Qing Ge, he would at most give me a light punishment."
In terms of status, how could a son-in-law be compared to a pure-blooded grandson?
Ying Jie was very confident.
"Besides, I'm eighty to ninety percent sure that my guess is right.
Once I force out the person behind Qing Ge and find the real culprit of Ying Jun's death, how would they blame me?
They would just want to tear Qing Ge into pieces. "
