"It's almost Shenshi time. Yue'er wants to go out and have a look?"
Su Yue nodded: "Let's go out and have a look. We haven't shown up for so long, so we're afraid of arousing suspicion."
"good."
Murong Li didn't care. Based on his understanding of an emperor, he would pay so much gold as compensation. Even if he agreed verbally, he was unwilling in his heart. He would not honor it until the last moment. It was very likely that he would pay it back.
Default.
Of course, he didn't just say that he would default on the debt, but he used various excuses to delay indefinitely. It happened that this time the capital and the palace were stolen, so he had even more excuses.
It's hard to say that the national treasury has been stolen.
It's just that I can't tolerate him defaulting on his debt.
The two stood up and simply arranged their clothes. Su Yue stepped out with Murong Li.
"not good."
As soon as they came out, they were in the middle of a fire, and a thick smoke immediately swallowed them up.
"Cough cough cough..."
The two of them almost suffocated.
"Yue'er, come on quickly."
In just a few breaths, their bodies were on fire. The hot fire swept through their bodies. Murong Li slapped them and shouted.
"Cough cough cough..."
Su Yue coughed violently and quickly took Murong Li back to the space.
"Huhuhu..."
As soon as the two of them entered the space, Murong Li hugged Su Yue and rolled around on the ground several times before extinguishing the fire on his body. The two of them lay on the ground panting.
"Yue'er, how are you?"
Murong Li asked anxiously, and quickly got up to check Su Yue's body.
The originally beautiful person seemed to be pulled out of the stove, and all her white hair turned black. Murong Li was heartbroken to see her.
That old bastard, let's see how he deals with him.
Isn't it possible to burn something if it wasn't deliberately set on fire in a snowy day?
I thought the dog emperor just wanted to default on his debt, but he didn't think he was going to kill them both.
Well, the Dog Emperor pissed him off.
"Ahem, cough...I'm fine. I didn't expect that Dongfeng Emperor was so mean and wanted to burn us to death."
Su Yue waved her hands and coughed several times. The thick smoke filled her lungs and made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She said bitterly.
"Don't be angry yet, take a shower and change your clothes before we talk."
Murong Li said, picked up Su Yue and returned to the villa, where the two of them took a bath and changed clothes.
In just a short while, both of their hair was burned and their clothes were burned. Fortunately, they were wearing thick clothes and only their outer clothes were burned.
After Su Yue washed herself, she found that her face had been burned a little. She was so angry that when she went out, she would not be called Su Yue unless she destroyed Emperor Dongfeng's palace.
Seeing that Su Yue's face was burned, her formerly fair and tender face was now red, and the skin on both sides of her face was even burned.
Murong Li was furious. He hurried to the pharmacy to get some ointment, applied it gently, and asked distressedly: "Do you feel better?"
He couldn't bear to touch Su Yue even with a fingernail. This Dongfeng Emperor dared to set them on fire. He was really looking for death.
Murong Li put the ointment on his face and had a sullen face. He originally planned to let Dongfeng Kingdom go, but he dared to set fire to them both. That must have taught them a profound lesson.
The corner of Su Yue's mouth twitched. This is not a panacea. Just put it on and it will be fine. She said: "It feels cool and the pain is not so bad."
"Um."
Murong Li held her gently in his arms and began to think about how to teach Dongfeng Kingdom a lesson.
"Yue'er, do you think it's better for us to kill Emperor Dongfeng, or to keep him alive for the time being?"
If you don't want Emperor Dongfeng to stop acting like a monster, the most direct way is to kill him. The prince is now seriously injured. If Emperor Dongfeng dies, other princes will definitely take the opportunity to seize the throne. The prince and princes will all fight for the throne. Where can there be anything else?
Time will take care of Xifeng Kingdom.
After that, they would plunder the Dongfeng Kingdom to ensure that they would be so poor that they would not even have food to eat, let alone try to make plans for other countries again.
Su Yue shook her head: "Let him live for the time being. He won't let him go so easily this time. He actually set fire to both of us. How can the one million taels of gold be good? It must be doubled."
The lives of both of us are worth a million taels of gold anyway. The total is two million taels of gold. Then I will search again. I believe they will never be able to cause any trouble again."
Murong Li smiled. Yue'er and he thought that they both wanted to make Dongfeng Kingdom poor again. He said: "This is a good method. Cutting flesh with a dull knife only hurts. Let him taste the pain."
Su Yue said playfully: "Yeah, I've been dead for a hundred times and I don't know anything. Why should I take advantage of him so easily and make him live worse than dead? That will relieve my anger."
"Uh-huh."
Seeing her like this, Murong Li felt better.
The two of them were discussing how to deal with Dong Fenghuang in the space, and the shadow guards outside saw that the fire had gradually extinguished. It was already dark, and the two figures of Li Wang were never seen, and there was not even a cry for help.
heard it.
Murong Li had only been out for a few breaths, and he was in the middle of a fire and surrounded by thick smoke, so naturally they couldn't see him.
Yiyingwei pursed his lips and said, "Do you think they are not in the post house?"
Another shadow guard shook his head: "They wanted to go out in the morning, but they were stopped by the imperial guards and led back. We also saw them, but we have never seen them go out since then. Moreover, there is no tunnel in the post house, and there is no way to get out from behind.
"
Just because they have been lurking behind, if you want to come out from behind, you can't escape their surveillance.
"That would be strange."
"Let's go back and report to the master quickly, and let the master make a decision." Yiying defended.
"Then you can go back alone, we'll all stay here and watch."
"Then I'll go back, and you guys will stay here and keep in touch." The shadow guard who spoke first said.
The other five people nodded, and then the shadow guard disappeared into the ice and snow in a flash.
In the palace, Dong Fenghuang was rejoicing. Now that Murong Li and Su Yue were dead, he didn't have to pay the million taels of gold, and he also got rid of a big problem. Who can resist him when he attacks Xifeng Kingdom in the future?
Hahaha……
Emperor Dongfeng really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh.
After feeling happy, I felt hungry. Just when I was about to call the imperial kitchen to deliver the food, the shadow guard came back.
"See Master."
The shadow guard immediately knelt down to see.
"Get up and talk. They didn't run out, did they?"
Dongfeng Emperor waved his hand towards the shadow guard and said pleasantly, thinking that the shadow guard was here to tell him the good news.
"Reporting to the master, the post house has now been burned into ruins, but the strange thing is that we never saw them in the fire, nor did we hear them calling for help.
Since morning, we have been staying there every step of the way and have never seen the two of them come out.
We felt there was something fishy about this, so we came back to report it to our master."
The Shadow Guard told the truth and did not hide anything from Emperor Dongfeng.
