This is what Si Lili is worried about.

So she had to come and see Lu Xiao.

She is of the royal bloodline of Nanqing. According to her generation, she should be considered the cousin of the current Nanqing Emperor.

Unfortunately, this identity brought her no glory, only disaster.

After all, her lineage had fought for the imperial power with Emperor Qing's lineage and ultimately lost.

Even after many years, Nanqing still hasn't given up on hunting down her lineage.

After hearing Si Lili's question, Lu Xiao said casually.

"I am a humble agent of the Inspection Office. Miss Lili, you are of royal blood, but I never thought you would be willing to fall into prostitution. What a pity."

When Si Lili heard the word "Inspection Office," her expression changed again, but she quickly recovered and forced herself to calm down.

"The Inspection Office's methods are truly formidable. I never imagined you would be able to uncover my true identity even after I arrived in Kyoto. So, sir, what do you intend to do now? Capture a helpless and vulnerable woman like me and claim the credit for it?"

As she spoke, she stared at Lu Xiao with a look full of pity.

Lu Xiao laughed and said, "You're not a weak girl, that's the case. I heard that the Northern Qi royal family treated you well. They sent you back to Southern Qing as a spy, but didn't they teach you how to protect yourself?"

This time, Si Lili was really panicked.

The exposure of her royal bloodline was nothing to her.

To put it bluntly, she was just a woman. Even if she had royal blood, she couldn't threaten Emperor Qing's rule.

Besides, although her lineage failed in its fight for imperial power, it still had some foundation in Nanqing.

When the situation becomes desperate, saving your life is always a good thing.

But now it is different from 1.9.

She really didn't expect that Lu Xiao even knew her identity as a Northern Qi spy.

If her identity were exposed, she would definitely die.

Fortunately, Si Lili is also someone who has experienced many ups and downs.

She quickly calmed herself down.

Since Lu Xiao revealed her identity under such circumstances, it meant that he must have other intentions.

If you want to capture me and make a contribution, you don't need to go through all this trouble.

So there must be a way to remedy this.

So, she looked at Lu Xiao very seriously, and finally asked, "Sir, what do you want?"

Lu Xiao smiled slightly, raised his hand, gently pinched her chin, and asked.

"Can you give me everything I want?"

Si Lili bit her lips hard and finally nodded vigorously.

Lu Xiao immediately stood up and slowly picked her up.

"Then it depends on your performance."

Chapter 68 Agent Host

Lu Xiao has no interest in talking about love.

He prefers to keep it simple and direct.

Why waste more time when you can get the job done in one sentence?

On the Liujing River, Si Lili's flower boat continued to sway until late at night, then finally came to a stop.

The next day, at noon, Lu Xiao, exhausted from a night of sleep, slowly woke up.

He lowered his head to glance at the beautiful woman in his arms.

The traces of tears from last night were still on her face, making her look particularly charming.

This was incredible, and the desire to fight again came back.

The phrase "compassion and care for women" never applied to Lu Xiao.

If you want to, then fight.

Thus, Si Lili, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened again.

(Ten thousand words omitted here)

An hour later.

Lu Xiao put on his clothes and finished washing up.

I opened the door and planned to leave.

"Sir, you're really a cruel person for leaving just like that!"

A night passed, and Si Lili, who had accepted her fate, lay in bed seemingly calmly. She was so exhausted that she didn't even want to move.

But seeing that Lu Xiao was about to leave, she had no choice but to speak.

Lu Xiao turned around and glanced at her: "Don't worry, I won't reveal your secret."

After hearing these words, Si Lili finally felt relieved after a night of worry.

Although I lost my innocence, I got a promise after all.

Even though she didn't know how long this promise would last.

But at this moment, she was the fish and Lu Xiao was the knife.

She really had no choice.

Of her lineage, only she and her younger brother are left.

She doesn't care about her own life.

But I can't ignore my brother's life.

Going undercover in Nanqing was a task assigned to her by the Queen Mother of Northern Qi.

If the mission failed, her life or death would be a minor matter, but her brother would be completely without support in Northern Qi.

So, she had to survive no matter what.

"Then I can only hope that you will keep your promise, sir." Si Lili said calmly.

Lu Xiao continued, "Although I'm not very gentle with women, I'm not someone who goes back on his word. However, from today on, you're my woman. I'm a very petty person and I can't stand seeing my woman get too close to other men. Do you understand?"

Si Lili said angrily, "Are you planning to control me forever?"

She originally thought that last night was just a transaction.

I didn't expect Lu Xiao to be so ambitious.

Seeing her angry, Lu Xiao, who was standing at the door, instantly appeared in front of her.

Then he suddenly threw back the quilt, raised his arm, and slapped her.

"You don't have the right to refuse now, understand?"

Si Lili rubbed her buttocks. Although she wanted to eat the man in front of her alive, she finally held back her tears and nodded in grievance at his unfriendly look.

“I remember that.”

Only then did Lu Xiao smile with satisfaction.

Then he raised his hand and wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes.

"Don't cry. I hate to see women cry. If you want to cry, wait until I leave. You can cry slowly. No one will disturb you."

The first half of the sentence sounds like a human being.

But the second half of the sentence is not human at all.

"I've never seen a man as cruel as you!"

This was the second time Si Lili had made this comment about Lu Xiao.

"You've seen it now, and you'll get used to it in the future."

Lu Xiao said nonchalantly.

Having said this, he stood up again.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. I'll come find you in the evening."

Si Lili said subconsciously: "No."

Are you coming tonight?

Who can bear such torture?

Unfortunately, before she could finish her words, Lu Xiao had already disappeared.

Only the slight shaking of the door proved that he had just left.

Looking at the empty house in an instant, Si Lili felt even emptier.

After a while, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly fell on the bed, crying hysterically and miserably.

"Wow~~Wow wow wow wow~~Why~~Wow~~Why~~~Wow wow wow wow~~~"

Pitiful.

It's really pitiful!

Unfortunately, a certain heartless guy didn't care at all.

"By order of the dean, Zhu Ge is dismissed from his position as director of the First Division, and Lu Xiao from the Fourth Division is transferred to the First Division to temporarily take over the duties."

As soon as he returned to the Inspection Office, Lu Xiao heard good news.

"Dean's actions are so fast?"

Lu Xiao asked subconsciously.

He originally thought it would take at least several days.

Yan Ruohai said, "Yesterday I sent a pigeon to the dean, and I received a reply early this morning. The dean praised you for your good work and said that our Inspection Institute needs talents like you right now. Although you are only temporarily appointed as the director, the position is basically confirmed. Once the dean returns to the capital and reports to His Majesty, you will be promoted to a full-time position."

Lu Xiao said, "Then please thank the dean for me."

I have to say Chen Pingping is really straightforward.

The decision was made in such a short time.

But no matter what, this is definitely a good thing for Lu Xiao.

"Alright, I won't waste your time here. The First Division is leaderless right now, and we need you to take charge. We can collaborate more in the future. After all, you're one of our people who's been out and about."

Although Lu Xiao was only the acting organizer, Yan Ruohai didn't dare to underestimate him.

His martial arts skills are there.

In addition, the First Division was responsible for monitoring officials in Kyoto, and the Fourth Division was responsible for monitoring officials outside Kyoto.

The two departments often interact with each other on a daily basis.

It is very necessary to establish a good relationship with Lu Xiao at this time.

As for Zhuge, both of them subconsciously ignored him.

Zhu Ge's actions were tantamount to betraying the Procuratorate and Chen Pingping.

There will only be one outcome.

So far, there has never been a precedent of anyone betraying Chen Pingping and surviving 787.

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble Master Yan to take care of you from now on."

Lu Xiao is not someone who is ignorant of the ways of the world.

He naturally wouldn't refuse Yan Ruohai's kindness.

If you want to go far in officialdom, you must make many friends and few enemies.

As long as others' actions didn't cross Lu Xiao's bottom line, he didn't mind making more friends.

"Hahaha, take care of each other, take care of each other!"
