There seemed to be a hint of surprise in his tone.
Lu Xiao glanced at the two of them, then gently climbed down from the tree and sat steadily on Si Lili's horse.
"I'm just a little later than Fan Xian and the others. Tell me, how should I punish you?"
When the last few words came out, his lips were almost touching Si Lili's ear.
Si Lili's face suddenly turned red.
Seeing this scene, Fan Xian behind him felt as if he had been fed a mouthful of dog food.
But he still asked loudly: "Old Lu, you are not here to save her, are you?"
This is not easy to do.
Counting the incident in Danzhou, he now owed Lu Xiao two lives.
If Lu Xiao wanted to save Si Lili, he would be too embarrassed to refuse.
After all, he knew in his heart that Northern Qi had absolutely no reason to kill him.
But he was unwilling to let Si Lili go so easily.
Once Si Lili is gone, all the clues will be broken.
For a while, Fan Xian was in a dilemma.
Chapter 133 Returning to Beijing
Just as Fan Xian was struggling, the situation on the field changed again.
Si Lili suddenly became as cold as ice.
"Let me go, you rapist who ruined my innocence. I will never go back with you even if I die."
As she spoke, she turned around, a dagger slipped out of her sleeve, and stabbed it directly into Lu Xiao's chest.
what happened?
Fan Xian felt that he was a little confused.
What is the relationship between these two people?
Lover? Enemy?
Facing Si Lili's attack, Lu Xiao had no intention of resisting.
Finally, the dagger came to rest firmly on his heart.
"Are you stupid? Why don't you hide?"
Si Lili was very confused at this moment.
At this moment, Lu Xiao grabbed her hand and gently pulled it, and Si Lili fell into Lu Xiao's arms.
Then he raised his palm and slapped the other person with a loud slap.
"You're the fool. You think the Black Knights around you are brainless, right?"
The silly girl "Four Six Seven" was just trying to distance herself from the relationship between the two.
This slap directly brought out all the grievances in Si Lili's heart.
She was heard shouting at Lu Xiao, "What can I do? You're the fool. Why did you come out now? Can't you see the current situation clearly?"
As he spoke, tears began to flow unconsciously.
Lu Xiao hated to see women cry, but at this moment, there was no trace of impatience on his face.
He patted Si Lili's back gently and said softly.
"Alright, since Northern Qi doesn't want you either, just stay with me from now on."
Si Lili is an undercover agent in Nanqing, and her identity is kept highly confidential.
Similar to Yan Bingyun who was undercover in Northern Qi.
As long as she doesn't reveal herself, and unless the Northern Qi high-ranking officials betray her, the Southern Qing side will never discover her true identity.
But now, within a short period of time, her identity has been exposed twice.
Lu Xiao was an exception this time, and given the special nature of the Inspection Bureau, Si Lili could only suspect that she had underestimated the Inspection Bureau's intelligence network.
But this second time was completely different. There must have been some kind of deal between the Northern Qi leadership and the person in Southern Qing who wanted Fan Xian dead.
So I sold her.
These are all issues that Si Lili can think of clearly.
After hearing Lu Xiao's words, she subconsciously glanced at the Black Knights around her: "Do we still have a future?"
This is the world-famous Black Knight, a Black Knight that even ninth-rank masters can kill.
Lu Xiao raised his hand and turned her face over, staring into her eyes and speaking seriously.
"I'll tell you one last time, you're my woman. With me here, no one can touch you. Don't overthink it from now on. Just trust me."
In this situation, Lu Xiao's words finally broke through the last remaining concerns in Si Lili's heart.
Then Si Lili took the initiative to hug him tightly, put her head firmly against his chest, and nodded heavily.
"Okay, I will only trust you from now on."
At this moment, Lu Xiao finally managed to truly conquer Si Lili.
From body to soul.
But now it's time to get down to business.
Lu Xiao looked up at the group of black cavalrymen, then at Fan Xian, and then spoke.
"I want to take the person away. Do you have any objections?"
Fan Xian finally made a decision at this moment and responded solemnly.
"Old Lu, I owe you two lives. I can't stop you, even if it's moral or logical. But Old Zhang's death couldn't be in vain. I must seek justice for him. As long as Si Lili tells me who's behind this, I'll pretend I haven't seen you today."
Lu Xiao raised his lips slightly. "You already know how to negotiate with me. It seems that after experiencing the assassination, your mentality has grown a lot. I will accept this matter on Li Li's behalf. I will tell you the answer after returning to Beijing."
Lu Xiao said this not because he was afraid of the Black Cavalry.
He simply wanted revenge.
After all this trouble, someone has to pay a price.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Lu Xiao had no intention of keeping this matter secret.
Then he looked towards the Black Knights: "What about you? What do you say?"
A moment later, a figure passed through the group of black riders and came up to Lu Xiao and his companions.
"The dean said that this matter is fully under Fan Xian's jurisdiction. No matter what decision Fan Xian makes, we, the Black Knights, will support him."
This emotionless, cold voice was a perfect replica of Lu Xiao's.
However, after seeing this person, Lu Xiao showed a rare smile on his face.
"Shadow Instructor, long time no see."
Yes, this person is Shadow, the top expert in the Inspection Institute.
He is also the world's number one killer.
Shadow now set his sights on Lu Xiao.
"It's been a while, but you've changed so much I almost didn't recognize you."
Lu Xiao said calmly, "With increased strength, my mentality naturally changes. Let's fight some other day. I've always remembered your teachings, Instructor."
Lu Xiao and his group of orphans were all trained by Shadow himself.
But it wasn't a good memory.
If you can survive, you are lucky enough.
Shadow said, "Alright, now you are qualified to let me draw my sword."
As the world's number one killer, his ability to sense danger is far superior to that of ordinary people.
At this moment, he felt an inexplicable sense of danger from Lu Xiao.
He had only experienced this kind of crisis before with Grandmasters.
So, while feeling apprehensive, Shadow also felt a little excited.
Fighting with such a master is a blessing.
At this time, Lu Xiao said, "Since everyone has reached a consensus, let's go home. I believe those important figures in Kyoto City have already prepared a grand welcome ceremony, and we can't miss it."
Lu Xiao never thought that Fan Xian and the Black Cavalry would be his enemies.
After all, he was also from the Inspection Institute, and he had a good personal relationship with Fan Xian.
So even if he didn't have the strength he has now, it wouldn't be difficult for him to take Si Lili away today.
But he also knew that this was just the beginning.
The real crisis is yet to come.
I guess there are many people in Kyoto who don't want them to return alive.
Shadow certainly had no objection to Lu Xiao's proposal.
But the Black Cavalry's deployment was no small matter, so they definitely couldn't accompany Lu Xiao and the others back to Beijing.
Otherwise, some people might overthink it.
Therefore, Shadow and the other Black Knights only accompanied Lu Xiao and his companions as far as the town closest to Kyoto City before saying goodbye and leaving.
Then there were only four of them left.
At this time, they were less than a day's journey from Kyoto.
This journey was truly wonderful.
After dealing with the thirteenth wave of assassins, the gate of Kyoto City finally appeared before their eyes.
At this time, Fan 0.3 Xian and the other three had already become numb.
They had thought Lu Xiao was strong, but they hadn't expected him to be this strong.
Thirteen waves of assassins, ranging from four or five to dozens.
They are all martial arts masters above the seventh rank.
But no matter how many people came at once, they couldn't stop Lu Xiao's sword.
That's right, it's just a sword.
One man draws his sword.
He still drew his sword even with dozens of people.
After one strike of the sword, no one could stop their progress.
On this day, Fan Xian had a misunderstanding about the ninth-rank master.
As a result, for a long time afterwards, he believed that Tianliu 1VII, Yisi Si, and the eighth and ninth ranks were all beings of Lu Xiao's level.
Just as Lu Xiao and his companions stepped into the gate of Kyoto City.
Countless people had already blocked the city gate.
City Guards, Kyoto Government Offices, Ministry of Justice
All departments that had even the slightest connection to the Niulan Street assassination case sent personnel.
They have only one purpose.
That's Si Lili..
Chapter 134 Officialdom Rules
The Niulan Street assassination case had widespread implications.
But at the same time, if this case is solved, the 0VII 栮4 thief will also be a great achievement.
When it comes to merit, many loyal ministers and generals in the court will often fight to the death.
