Myriad Paths

Shen Shuibi was pulled out from behind by Mr. Zhu, and then stood in front of Li Qi.

"Is it you!?" After she really saw Li Qi's face, she shouted in surprise, even forgetting that she was unwilling to come out before.

Shen Shuibi's eyes turned red!

She knew that these Baiyue blessings must be one after another!

When she met this young Xiao Zhu before, she should have thought that Da Zhu would follow her soon.

Well now, I’ve fallen into a trap!

But... fortunately, Wushen Mountain seems to be maybe... probably not hostile.

Otherwise, as they said, just take him back to do the sacrifice divination. There is no need for him to lead the way to the empress.

but……

Don't believe this!

The rabbit demon's mind was filled with anger, and she made up her mind that she could never trust these people. They had plotted against her once, and they would definitely have bad ideas in the future!

I am my empress's rabbit, I have to do everything for the sake of my empress, and I cannot listen to what they say.

Thinking this, Shen Shuibi stared at Li Qi and Mr. Zhu angrily, with a look of caution on his face.

As for Li Qi, he didn't care about Shen Shuibi at all. Although he recognized that this was the stupid demon he met back then, in the final analysis, Master Zhu had the final say here.

So he immediately saluted: "Sir, my mission is to follow this envoy to see Empress Luofu?"

"That's it." Mr. Zhu nodded: "You two should know the cause and effect. I've also told you the purpose. I can't go to Luofu Empress in person, and I even have to deliberately hide. After all, A frightened bird should not be disturbed lightly," Mr. Zhu said.

Li Qi lowered his head and looked at his nose and heart, pretending he didn't hear anything.

"Your Majesty, you are not a frightened bird!" Shen Shuibi immediately retorted.

But Mr. Zhu didn't bother to pay attention to her.

Shen Shuibi's few words before almost made him angry to death. It would be better to talk to less thoughtful people.

After all, the Li Qi in front of him must be able to figure out the specific situation of Dalu Country based on these clues. He might even guess that there is a war, but he kept silent and only said nice things. Although he was suspected of being flattery, But at least it's not annoying.

Thinking of this, Mr. Zhu suddenly became a little interested.

"Li Qi." He shouted.

Li Qi, who was pretending to be dead, immediately bowed and said, "The students are here!"

He had quickly adjusted his self-identity and was very clever. The difference between pretending to be dead was so great that it even shocked Shen Shuibi.

The rabbit jumped on the spot, and then stared at Li Qi fiercely, as if blaming him for scaring him.

"With the situation near Dalu Country, there should be a lot of big things happening. Apart from what you are saying now, what other things can you guess? Tell me, and if you are right, I will give you a reward." Zhu Gongzi said so .

Li Qi nodded, knowing in his heart that this was a test for the school.

Although Mr. Zhu was probably watching me at all times before, he had already passed the test when he came. He should be considered qualified before he showed up and promised himself benefits and let him do things.

This question probably came out of nowhere. He probably thought of something special and gave him a reward.

Hmm... Purpose aside, Mr. Zhu is really just as he said, with a pure and kind nature... Ask a question and give him a reward.

However, he immediately used his brain to think about what important matter it was that deserved the big boss to ask him specifically.

If it can be called a big event by him, it must be a big event, but it cannot be an accident, such as the birth of a treasure of heaven and earth.

Because he had no way of knowing that kind of thing, it was useless to ask Li Qi.

Therefore, there must be signs. Among the people, he may be aware of, or even participate in, major events unintentionally... and this major event is related to the conflict between the Tang State and Wushen Mountain.

What can such a big thing be?

There won't be many, and they will require the participation of the people. There are only two major events that Li Qineng can foresee.

The most important thing in the country is sacrifice and military service!

The sacrifice was different from the previous Li Qi, and it was also a matter of blessing. Li Qi had participated in the largest sacrifice, which was the river opening ceremony. Obviously, this kind of thing was not considered a big deal to Mr. Zhu.

Then...only Rong is left.

Military affairs, wars, these are considered important events.

And if it concerns myself...

Li Qi was thinking in his mind, and soon he came up with a clue.

Lushan, the mountain is big and strong! The leader of the Li Zhuang Gang, he said that he was a deserter from the Song Kingdom! (See Chapter 12)

The Song Kingdom is adjacent to the Dalu Kingdom, and further north, it is very likely to border the Tang Kingdom. In addition, Shan Dazhuang also said that he escaped when the Song Kingdom was attacked by the Tang Kingdom.

Then the answer was ready to come out, and Li Qi immediately replied: "I guess what the young master is talking about should be the war between Tang and Song, right?"

"That's right." Mr. Zhu nodded with satisfaction: "With your wit, I won't worry about you suffering a loss on your journey to see Empress Luofu."

"However, you can guess that I am afraid that I got clues and reminders from the Li Zhuang Gang. Now think about it, why did I find the Li Zhuang Gang?"

Li Qi thought of this when he was trying to figure out the previous answer, so he didn't hesitate: "I'm afraid... Young Master planned to let the Li Zhuang Gang be the victim from the beginning, right?"

"No, no, the sacrifice is the most precious part of the sacrifice. It cannot be used indiscriminately. How can a small soldier from the Song Kingdom use the word sacrifice? As a congratulator, you should also pay attention to the words you use in the future. The sacrificer is the bridge between heaven and earth. The way of ghosts and gods should not be taken lightly," Mr. Zhu reminded.

However, he also understood what Li Qi meant, so he said: "But your guess is right. Song Guo deserters, that is, they chose to abandon the country and abandon their friends when facing the attack of Tang State. This crime should be punished." , but before killing him, I can also use him to attract the heretics I need."

When Mr. Zhu said this, he glanced at Li Qi.

Li Qi immediately lowered his head and bowed.

Sure enough, Mr. Zhu said that he was pure and kind in nature, but he did not say that he would not kill people and scheme...

It's better to be cautious about your new boss.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Since you answered correctly again, I will give you a benefit and give you a little more protection on the road." Mr. Zhu said, taking out a willow branch from his sleeve.

He said: "You are going to travel far to find Empress Luofu. It is inconvenient for me to go with you, so I will give you a willow branch to see you off."

Li Qi couldn't ask what it was, but he knew that there was indeed an allusion to breaking willows to see off. Besides, this was a reward for answering the question correctly, so he didn't refuse and stepped forward to take the willow branch. After thanking him, Continue to pretend to be dead and say no more words.

"I have tested you several times and you have passed. Then, the task is given to you. Do it well." Mr. Zhu patted Li Qi on the shoulder and then disappeared directly.

Shen Shuibi and Li Qi were left staring at each other.
