Lu Qingshan's expression gradually darkened.
Will his men really attack Yingjie?
Not likely.
Or rather, it's impossible.
How could his subordinates not know what is more important?
Therefore, it was obvious that Yingjie was deliberately looking for trouble.
The purpose was either to provoke him or to capture his two men.
As for the reason.
Ying Jie is the eldest son of Demon Lord Honglie.
He has never had any contact with the Yingjie.
The only connection is that he once directed Ying Jun's death to Ying Jie.
Therefore, it is likely related to this matter.
Is it revenge?
Chi Li explained awkwardly, "When something like this happens in my house, I should help resolve it. However, if you really want to count, the Demon Lord of Yingjie is actually my elder, so I can't come forward to stop him for you."
“It doesn’t make sense.”
He was indeed in a difficult situation, and he was not just trying to please Lu Qingshan.
In order to win over Qing Ge, he has already given no face to Hei Wu, so naturally he hopes to succeed one day.
In other words, a certain cost has been paid.
Now that this incident had happened, his plan to win over others had encountered many twists and turns.
He also didn't expect Ying Jie to be so decisive.
After explaining the situation to Ying Jie just now, seeing that Ying Jie did not have any extreme reaction, he thought that Ying Jie was already planning to let the matter go.
Who would have thought that after Ying Jie knew it was difficult to cause trouble for Qing Ge, he actually attacked his men directly.
Although this action was not quite appropriate, the degree 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 alone, Qingge should be above Yingjie.
After all, Ying Jie is his father's man. No matter how powerful he is, it has nothing to do with him and is not of much help to him.
On the contrary, Qing Ge, although a mixed-blood, has unlimited potential, and there is a large interest area of ​​Senluo King Realm behind him . If he can be lured into his own camp, it will definitely be a profitable deal.
But because Ying Jie is his father's man, even if he wants to stand with Qing Ge, it is not easy for him to come forward directly.
Wouldn't it be considered as an unhuman being if you show up?
Lu Qingshan saw Chi Li's dilemma, and stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Highness Chi Li, something happened to my men. I am not in the mood to continue this Red Fruit Banquet, so I will leave first."
Chi Li nodded, "I understand."
"I will send someone to deliver your naked body to your house later. " he said.
"Also, as for the two human girls, if you like them and want to take them as maids, I will also send them to your house as a small gift to wish you a happy marriage."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Lu Qingshan did not refuse Chi Li's kindness.
He is the son-in-law of the Wu clan.
The Shi Wu lineage belongs to the Chi Zun lineage, so no matter what, he can only choose to join the Chi Zun lineage.
This is the most basic principle.
Chi Li respected him very much and even tolerated him taking action at the Chi Guo Banquet.
Although all of this is due to the strength and potential he has demonstrated.
But there is no doubt that this is a piece of sycamore wood and it is worth living on.
Although he disliked Chi Li, he had no intention of breaking up with him for the time being.
"If you have any trouble, you can still come to me. I can still help you a little." Chi Li added, once again showing his intention to win you over.
"Yeah." Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, turned and left, leaving behind a group of people with different thoughts.
"Hmph!" Seeing his receding back, Hei Wu in the crowd couldn't help but hum inwardly.
Retribution in this life!
The creatures on the field also began to discuss this matter.
It is conceivable that this matter will spread quickly through their mouths.
The Demon Lord's family affairs are still a good topic of conversation.
…
Demon Lord Honglie's Mansion.
In a secluded quiet room.
Three figures were hazy.
One of the figures was burly, wearing a long robe and had a gloomy look.
Winning world.
In front of him were Yu Luo and Ye Ying, who were tied up tightly, unable to move or struggle.
These are Qingge's men.
One is of the sixth grade, and the other is of the eighth grade.
But for Ying Jie, this didn’t make much difference. He easily captured him and brought him back to his mansion.
"I have carefully checked Qing Ge's movements after arriving at Jianluo King City, and I didn't find any flaws or clues."
"So, either this matter really has nothing to do with him, or he did it very secretly."
Ying Jie thought in his heart.
He prefers the latter possibility.
So, he needed a breakthrough.
Demon Lord Shi Wu has already made it clear that no one is allowed to cause trouble for Qing Ge again.
Even his father, Demon Lord Honglie, could not disobey this, let alone him.
"We can't cause trouble for Qingge, but it's okay to move his men." Ying Jie whispered with secret hatred.
Thinking of this, he raised his eyes.
He looked at Yu Luo and Ye Ying, who were captured by him on the pretext of a collision and brought back to the mansion.
Kill two birds with one stone.
If Qingge wanted to get his two subordinates back from his hands, the connections that Qingge had displayed would definitely not be enough.
It is also a good opportunity to verify another possibility, whether Qingge has someone else helping him in the royal city.
"Now, I'll ask you to tell the truth." He murmured.
He now wants to verify his first guess:
Did Qingge use some tricks to conceal his true intentions?
At this moment, Yu Luo and Ye Ying both had panic in their eyes.
Suddenly they were captured by Yingjie, and they were both confused and terrified.
"Who should start first?" Ying Jie's eyes swept across the two of them and finally stopped on Ye Ying's face.
Well, the eighth rank, logically speaking, should have a higher status and know more information.
He narrowed his eyes, and a white, furry bug appeared in his hand.
With a light flick, the insect landed on Yeying's face, and finally went into his nostrils and disappeared.
A trace of pain flashed across Ying Jie's eyes.
Waited for a few breaths.
Yeying's eyes began to turn white and lost their luster, like a puppet.
He asked, "What's your name?"
"Yeying." Yeying answered dully.
Yu Luo, who was standing by, saw this scene, his eyes widened in fear.
"identity."
"Qing Ge's guard."
"Very good," Ying Jie smiled with satisfaction and asked the question he was most concerned about, "Is Ying Jun's death related to Qing Ge?"
"have no idea."
"I don't know?" He frowned, pondered for a moment, and asked in a different way, "Has Qingge given you any orders recently?"
"His Highness Qing Ge asked us to stay at home as much as possible to avoid trouble."
"That's it?"
"That's it."
Ying Jie was stunned.
This was totally different from what he had expected.
In other words, Qingge did not instruct his men to do anything special.
However, he was certain in his heart that Qing Ge was the murderer.
Ying Jie thought for a moment and soon came up with the answer.
In this matter, Qingge did not use his official subordinates.
Indeed, if we do this, it will be too easy to find clues.
Yeying was just a subordinate and was not aware of this matter.
This kid is quite smart.
"Does Qingge know anyone in the royal city?" Ying Jie asked again.
There is no smoke without fire.
There can't be a perfect ambush.
He changed his entry point.
"have no idea."
"You don't know again?" Ying Jie responded, his eyes gradually becoming confused, and he realized that something was wrong.
Shouldn't the answer be yes or no?
Why don’t you know?
You know nothing about anything. How can you be a subordinate like this?
etc……
Yingjie suddenly reacted to a 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 her eyes seemed to be rolling at him, full of mockery.
Crunch.
Ying Jie gritted his teeth.
"You have only followed Qingge for half a month, and Qingge brought you to Jianluo King City?" He said with hidden anger.
Qing Ge came to Jianluo King City, a place where he was unfamiliar with the place, and he only brought three subordinates with him, and they were not his trusted men?
Is this reasonable?
Without hesitation, Ying Jie reached out to untie Yu Luo, and asked directly, "How long have you been following Qing Ge? You'd better tell me the truth."
"Half a month." Yu Luo answered tremblingly .
This matter should not be important, so it can be answered, right?
Yu Luo knew that Ying Jie had bad intentions, but he also saw that if he didn't answer honestly he would die.
He could only delay for a little while, just a little while.
Here, Ying Jie clenched his teeth even tighter.
Very good, also half a month.
Qingge, what are you thinking?
The situation is very strange and goes against common sense.
But it was this unreasonable behavior that made Ying Jie pay more attention to Qingge.
There must be a reason for everything being unusual.
"After Qingge came to Jianluo Royal City, where did he go and who did he meet?" Ying Jie continued to ask unwillingly.
"His Highness Qing Ge also lives in seclusion. Apart from visiting the Demon Lord Shi Wu's residence and visiting the Demon Lord Shi Wu, and then going to Mingyue Mansion a few times, he has not seen anyone else."
Ying Jie’s eyes flickered.
Yeying's testimony was leading Qingge towards innocence.
I didn't expect the situation to be so complicated.
In fact, if it were someone else, they would have already believed at this time that Ying Jun’s murder had nothing to do with Lu Qingshan.
But he is different, and his heart remains extremely firm.
But he sighed deeply.
Qing Ge, how did he kill Ying Jun?
Things seem to have fallen into a vicious circle again.
Just at this moment.
Suddenly, a slight sound was heard outside the quiet room.
"Didn't I tell you not to bother me unless it's something important?" Ying Jie was very annoyed, with a hint of anger in his voice.
"Your Highness, there's a reply from the Senluo Realm, along with a piece of intelligence." The person outside answered cautiously, not daring to breathe.
"Have you received the information from the Senluo Realm?" he muttered to himself, remembering that the day before yesterday he had a sudden thought and secretly contacted Qingge's brother, Chipu.
His impatience immediately dissipated and he left the quiet room.
A moment later, he reappeared in the quiet room.
There was an extra piece of black jade in his hand.
As expected, Chi Pu agreed to his cooperation conditions immediately.
And inside the black jade is Qing Ge's detailed information.
"Let me see what you are capable of."
Ying Jie thought about it, closed his eyes, and probed his mind into the black jade.
After a long time, he finally opened his eyes.
There was a flash of suspicion and a bit of regret in his eyes.
"No wonder he brought his men who had only followed him for less than half a month to Jianluo King City. It turned out that his former trusted men, who were the spies Chi Pu had planted next to him, had just been killed by him."
"In this situation, he couldn't trust anyone else, so in the end he had no choice but to bring the people given by the Demon Lord to Jianluo King City."
"If I had received this news earlier, I wouldn't have wasted a soul-eating insect in vain."
It seems that there is no hope of starting with his men.
Ying Jie felt extremely painful when thinking this.
Soul-eating insects are a specialty of the Heart Demon Clan. They can devour the heart and soul, turning people into puppets and giving them answers to any questions they ask.
Although there are many restrictions, this insect is still very valuable because of this special ability, and it is in short supply and extremely difficult to obtain.
Even with his wealth, he still felt a little pain after knowing that this soul-eating insect was wasted.
"I was anxious. Although I have to admit it, it was true. Because of my father's reprimand, I lost my balance and lost my composure." Ying Jie reflected on himself.
He could naturally see that Demon Lord Honglie seemed to have determined in his heart that he was most likely the murderer of Ying Jun.
But he really isn't.
He didn't show much emotion on his face, but in fact, he was really getting irritated inside.
That's why he acted hastily without having all the information.
"No matter what the situation, you shouldn't rush."
Ying Jie said secretly.
The next moment, he closed his eyes slightly.
He began to review and organize all the information about "Qing Ge" in his mind, analyzing it like peeling off layers of onion.
From the information given by Chi Pu to what he saw.
No detail is left out.
He took this information, looked back and forth, and made connections.
Qing Ge is a genius with extremely high aptitude in combat.
But because he was a mixed-blood, he was afraid that he was not yet fully grown and would be targeted and framed, so he dared not stand out. He had been keeping a low profile until he left the Senluo King Realm under the pretext of marrying Ying Mingyue, and then he began to show his prowess.
But when Qing Ge first faced the issue of marrying into the family, he even pretended to resist, trying to destroy human cities and gain military merit to win blood spirit crystals for himself.
It was not until he suffered a heavy loss on a battlefield outside the domain that he was "forced" to accept the fact that he was a son-in-law, which made Chi Pu lose his vigilance.
Chi Pu guessed that Qing Ge's defeat on the battlefield outside the domain was most likely intentional.
Because the defeat was so outrageous.
Qingge must have been aiming for the condition of being a son-in-law from the beginning.
It was just a self-torture tactic.
What a deep scheme.
Ying Jie sighed.
This series of actions made him sigh at Qingge's cunningness.
Faced with the long-awaited opportunity to leave the Senluo King Realm, Qing Ge was able to remain calm and composed, pretending that he was forced to accept it.
So high!
Really high!
But it was precisely because of this that he strengthened his judgment.
It was because of such deep thoughts that he was able to come up with a perfect plan to kill Ying Jun.
Without such cunning, how could one have such ability?
He continued his analysis.
At a certain moment, he suddenly came to his senses and murmured, "No... This is not right..."
According to Chi Pu, the spy he sent out before, Puqu Moshuai, was deeply trusted by Qingge and followed Qingge all year round.
Although Qingge did all this on purpose, just to create an illusion and paralyze him.
However, many of Qingge's actions were undoubtedly seen by the Puqu Demon Marshal.
It can be seen that over the years, Qingge has stayed in the capital of Senluo, rarely left, and almost never fought against the enemy.
The problem is, what Qing Ge showed in Jianluo King City was that he had a very deep attainment in sword skills.
Moreover, his sword skills are not bold and aggressive, but tend to be more human-style, complex and profound.
Swordsmanship is the most complex, difficult, and practical art.
How could a mixed-blooded soldier with little combat experience and no master master such powerful swordsmanship by working in isolation?
This is illogical.
in addition……
Chi Zun found remnants of sword energy on the wreckage of the warship left at the place where Ying Jun was killed.
But it is the sword energy that remains.
Is there really no connection between the two?
Ying Jie shook his head.
so……
Qing Ge, it is very likely that he has a master in secret.
A master who taught him advanced sword skills and helped him kill Ying Jun!
Yes, that must be the case.
Moreover, Qingge's master must be in Jianluo King City at this time, not too far away from Qingge.
"We have to force this guy out." Ying Jie closed his eyes and pondered for a moment.
With Qingge's cunning, ordinary means would definitely not work.
An idea gradually came into his mind.
We can only take risky measures.
Once Qing Ge is in life-and-death crisis, his master will have to take action.
It is against the rules to take action in the royal city.
The Demon Lord who killed Wu repeatedly warned them not to do anything wrong to Qingge again.
His action was a blatant disobedience.
"However, now I am the only heir of the Ying family. Even if Grandfather Shi Wu knew that I attacked Qing Ge, at most he would only punish me slightly."
In terms of status, how can a son-in-law compare to a pure-blooded grandson?
Yingjie is very confident.
"Besides, I am 80% to 90% sure that my guess is correct. Once I force out the person behind Qing Ge and find the real murderer of Ying Jun, how can they blame me then? They will just want to tear Qing Ge into pieces."
