Film and TV: Traveling through countless worlds at the same time

That was an arrow.

He is the only ninth-grade archer in the world.

Even a Grandmaster would be injured if hit by such an arrow.

If this arrow could injure Lu Xiao, he would be more confident in his next attack.

Emperor Qing really thinks a lot.

Unfortunately, his plan was destined to fail.

The black iron arrow finally stopped about ten feet behind Lu Xiao's back.

Just floating quietly in the air.

It looks very weird.

The power of this arrow is not even a little bit less than that of Li Xunhuan's Little Li Flying Dagger.

Even Lu Xiao's protective Qi skin couldn't be broken.

Not to mention hurting Lu Xiao.

At this moment, Lu Xiao slowly turned around, looked at the arrow floating in the air, and muttered.

"Yan Xiaoyi?"

Yan Xiaoyi, the commander of the palace guards.

When it comes to long-range attacks, he is definitely the best in the world.

Yan Xiaoyi is too loyal to Li Yunrui.

Otherwise, Lu Xiao really wanted to subdue him.

Since it cannot be recovered, then of course such a person cannot be kept.

Although his strength could not threaten Lu Xiao, he could definitely threaten the people around Lu Xiao.

Today, Lu Xiao was planning to kill Li Yunrui.

Therefore, he has a reason to die.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiao shook his head slightly: "What a pity."

After saying this, he raised his arm and waved it gently.

The next moment, the black iron arrow suddenly changed direction and returned to its original path at a speed several times faster than before.

At the same time as the arrow disappeared, a faint sound was heard in the dark night sky outside the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

It seemed like something exploded.

At the same time, another figure flew into the hall.

He stood directly in front of Emperor Qing.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

The person who came was Hong Sixiang, who everyone believed to be the fourth Grandmaster.

At this moment, Hong Sixiang's face was filled with horror, as if he had witnessed something horrific.

Seeing this, Lu Xiao smiled faintly and said, "Don't be nervous, Eunuch Hong. I was just acting in self-defense. I'm a loyal minister. How could I actively harm Your Majesty?"

As he spoke, Lu Xiao squinted his eyes and glanced at Emperor Qing, looking quite intriguing.

When the officials heard this, they were filled with worry.

What is this?

What do you mean by not actively harming His Majesty?

If you don't take the initiative, then it will happen, right?

Also, are you a loyal subject?

Are you kidding me? Today I am about to shit on Emperor Qing's head. Is this what a loyal minister can do?

This is really uncomfortable to hear.

But at this moment, Emperor Qing has no time to care about this.

He was very glad that he didn't act impulsively just now.

Lu Xiao's strength is too terrifying.

To others, the move just now was just a miraculous trick of a Grandmaster.

But in his opinion, it was completely incredible.

That was Yan Xiaoyi's arrow. Even if he had tried his best to defend himself, he couldn't have easily blocked it.

He didn't even dare to take the blow head on, and had to dodge it a few times.

However, Lu Xiao was caught off guard and, relying solely on his internal Qi, blocked the arrow ten feet behind him.

This level of cultivation is definitely stronger than his.

More importantly, he couldn't understand Lu Xiao's subsequent counterattack.

He had never seen such a trick before.

At this moment, Emperor Qing once again had to suppress the murderous intent in his heart.

Then he waved to Hong Sixiang.

"Withdraw. Yan Xiaoyi assassinated Grandmaster Lu without cause and is guilty of a capital crime. As for Li Yunrui, since Grandmaster Lu insists on severe punishment according to national law, I will grant you your consent. You may bring him back to the Inspection Office for interrogation, but he is the eldest princess after all, so you must not resort to private punishment."

No lynching.

This has become Emperor Qing's latest bottom line.

Everyone understood that Emperor Qing had given in.

In this battle between the Grand Master and the Supreme Being, personal strength ultimately triumphed over imperial power.

Starting today, things are going to change in Nanqing.

Hearing this, Lu Xiao laughed and said, "Of course, Your Majesty, rest assured. I wouldn't resort to such despicable tactics against a woman."

The torture used to extract a confession was too crude.

He no longer uses this trick when interrogating prisoners now.

Wouldn't it be better to just retrieve the memory directly?

Why bother with this effort?

After hearing these words, Emperor Qing felt much better.

Because Lu Xiao finally gave him some face.

It won't make him completely lose face.

As for Li Yunrui, he couldn't care less now.

She can only stay in the inspection office for a while.

Once he completely solves the big problem of Lu Xiao, Li Yunrui will naturally be fine.

And just like that, the Prayer Hall meeting finally came to an end.

Lu Xiao finally left the palace with Li Yunrui in a swagger.

As for Fan Xian, who died of drunkenness in the past, he was of course sent back by someone arranged by Emperor Qing.

I think Kyoto will be very lively tomorrow.

However, there was still one thing Lu Xiao hadn't resolved.

He hasn't dealt with Zhuang Mohan yet.

Lu Xiao's rescue of him wasn't free...

Chapter 245: Forcing Zhuang Mohan to Stay

In the following days, Kyoto was bustling with activity as never before.

There are only two hot topics.

One is Fan Xian's Hundred Drunken Poems.

Countless people in Kyoto believed that Fan Xian was the immortal poet who had descended to earth.

The other one was naturally Lu Xiao confronting Emperor Qing and demanding severe punishment for Princess Li Yunrui.

However, after this incident came out from the palace, some details were changed.

In order to maintain the royal family's reputation, although Lu Xiao was the protagonist in this matter, Emperor Qing was not the villain.

On the contrary, there were some vague rumors about speaking for Emperor Qing.

It is said that Emperor Qing sacrificed his relatives for the sake of justice, was just and wise, and was a rare wise ruler in history.

Such rumors were naturally spread by Emperor Qing himself.

Lu Xiao didn't care about this.

Anyway, through this incident, his and the Inspection Bureau's reputation among the people has reached a new height.

Letting Emperor Qing eat some leftovers won't affect the overall situation.

Time flies, and another four or five days have passed.

The peace talks are now complete.

The Northern Qi delegation naturally had no reason to stay in Kyoto.

So after four or five days, they planned to return.

But just as they were about to leave, something unexpected happened again.

In front of the Honglu Temple, Lu Xiao led the Inspection Office's troops to block the Northern Qi delegation's convoy.

"Master Lu, what do you mean?"

The Northern Qi delegation official asked politely and carefully.

Lu Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to cause you any trouble. I just want to have a chat with Mr. Zhuang."

After hearing this, the officials of the Northern Qi delegation finally put their minds at ease.

Then the officials made way for him, and Zhuang Mohan, supported by others, slowly walked out.

"Master Lu, what do you want from me?"

This was all thanks to Lu Xiao's explanation to Zhuang Mohan in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

The impact of his false accusation of Fan Xian copying poetry was not very serious.

Many people expressed their understanding.

Most people in this world are actually quite reasonable when it comes to matters not affecting their own interests.

Lu Xiao bowed to Zhuang Mohan and said.

"I've been busy dealing with Li Yunrui's affairs these past few days, so I haven't had time to visit Mr. Zhuang. Today, I heard that you were going back with the Northern Qi delegation, so I came here rashly. I hope you don't mind."

Zhuang Mohan laughed and said, "How dare I? If it weren't for Grandmaster Lu, my reputation would have been completely ruined by now. Actually, I owe you a big favor, Grandmaster Lu."

Lu Xiao smiled and said, "I'm glad you know. If that's the case, then I won't waste any more words. Mr. Zhuang, you must repay this favor you owe me."

Zhuang Mohan asked, "Oh? Then, Master Lu, how would you like me to repay this favor?"

Lu Xiao said, "Simple. Mr. Zhuang, you are a great master in the literary world. It just so happens that my Nanqing literary fortune is weak and I'm eager to recruit talented people. So, I'm thinking of you staying in Nanqing this time and not leaving. I'm planning to open an academy in Kyoto, so I'd like to invite you to be its president."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials of Northern Qi became anxious.

"That's ridiculous! Mr. Zhuang is a leading figure in Northern Qi's literary world. How could he possibly be accepted by your Southern Qing? Master Lu, your request is far too outrageous, isn't it?"

If they weren't afraid of Grandmaster Lu Xiao's strength, these Northern Qi officials would definitely fight to the death.

Lu Xiao smiled and said, "Your perspective is too narrow. The inheritance of literature knows no national boundaries. Don't be so narrow-minded."

I go!

The Northern Qi officials only wanted to curse at this moment.
