Chapter 398 No Looking Back
The kingdom's biggest enemy was obviously the devil, but the king hid a team of elite soldiers and gave Li a surprise attack.
Carrying the young master who was so tired that he fainted, Xiaoli cursed all the way and cursed the king's ancestors.
While walking down a street carrying Li Gang on her back, Xiaoli saw soldiers blocking the road.
These soldiers were evacuating the crowds gathered in the streets in the name of maintaining order.
Xiaoli knew that these soldiers probably had not had time to accept the new orders. If Li had not been asleep, he could have walked over with a swagger.
Unfortunately, Li was lying on Xiaoli's back, carrying someone on his back, which was too conspicuous no matter how you looked at it.
“…Is it impossible to walk on the ground?”
Since the ground was impassable, Xiaoli decided to leave underground.
Ever since they learned that the royal capital had an extensive underground transportation network, Li's men had taken advantage of their free time to find out a lot of information.
Xiaoli carried Li to the nearest tunnel entrance, where Emma was already waiting.
"Master, are you okay?"
"He's just too tired."
Emma saw how exhausted Li looked and she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.
"Damn the king! If we had known he was dishonest, we wouldn't have helped him!"
The assassins led by Emma had just helped the king clear the dangers on the streets, but right afterwards they harmed their own young master.
Emma swore that the king must pay the price!
"Emma, calm down. We don't have many people in the capital. Don't give yourself up."
Li Zheng is in a coma, but he doesn't have the magic power to revive Emma. If Emma gets too excited and fights with the kingdom's army, she will really die if she dies accidentally.
“…Okay, Sister Xiaoli, I know what to do!”
After sending Li and Xiaoli into the tunnel, Emma put on a hood, and dangerous eyes shone through the shadows under the hood.
The king wants to take this opportunity to eliminate the threat, so let the capital fall into chaos again!
The hidden blade popped out of her arm, and Xiaoli concealed her presence and slowly approached the soldiers on the street.
The next moment, the crowd burst into exclamations.
"Ah! Killing!"
Chaos broke out on the streets once again, and the already stretched military force was full of loopholes.
Xiaoli carried Li on her back as she moved forward in the shallow tunnel. She could clearly hear the sound of people running on the ground.
Emma has tried her best to help Xiaoli and Li attract attention.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiaoli carried Li on her back and headed out of the city. However, not long after they started walking, they heard the sound of soldiers searching in the tunnel.
"We must find Vizar Li! Whoever catches him will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"
Listening to the price quoted by the soldier in the distance, Xiaoli clenched her teeth in anger.
King Deng really has no bottom line in doing things!
Xiaoli and Li hid in a dark corner, trying to wait for the soldiers to search the area so they could leave.
However, Xiaoli underestimated the enemy's patience and missed a key figure.
The soldier's footsteps got closer and closer, and finally moved directly towards the direction where Xiaoli was hiding.
Xiaoli clenched the dagger tightly, ready to drag a few more enemies to her grave when the soldiers approached.
"I've spotted you, come out!"
The light of the torch dispelled the darkness of the tunnel, and a vague shadow of a woman, along with the sound of shouting, was projected onto the wall beside Xiaoli.
Xiaoli was very familiar with this shadow, and the voice was the same as that of someone Xiaoli was familiar with.
Xiaoli was so shocked that she jumped out from the corner where she was hiding.
"Lilith!"
It turned out to be Lilith who led the team to search the underground passage.
This stinky bat has a sharper nose than a dog. She must have noticed where Xiaoli was hiding a long time ago. She had people searching randomly just now, which was clearly intended to undermine Xiaoli's confidence.
"Xiao Li, leave Li to me, I can keep you safe."
"Dream on! You traitor!"
Xiaoli was very clear about Lilith's defection to the king. According to Li's original plan, Lilith joining the king's camp could provide Li with fresh intelligence.
But what's going on with Lilith now!
The devil's matter has been resolved, but Lilith is still wearing the officer's uniform. Has she betrayed Li and is planning to be completely loyal to the king?
Seeing Xiaoli glaring at her with gritted teeth, Lilith laughed and raised her hand to cast her vampire's innate magic.
Xiaoli felt a sharp pain in her heart and fell down holding her chest.
The soldiers who came with Lilith saw that the prisoner had lost his resistance and were excited to catch him.
Lilith was dissatisfied with the soldiers' unauthorized actions, so she cast a spell and made them lie on the ground as well.
"Have I ever told you that this mission is very important? Have I ever told you that all actions must be carried out under my command?"
Lilith displayed a powerful aura, shouting at the soldiers so loudly that they dared not say a word.
Seeing that the situation was under her control, Lilith restrained her ferocity and switched back to a gentle voice.
"Alright~ Use your brain more when you act next time! I need to ask you something in private, so all of you stay away."
The soldiers who were taught a lesson by Lilith did not dare to go against her will. The light of the torches retreated to a distance. In the darkness of the scene, only Xiaoli, Lilith, and the unconscious Li were left.
In the darkness, Lilith's blood-red eyes shone like gems.
Lilith walked over to Li and gently stroked Li's face.
"You are not allowed to touch the master!"
"Yo~ Are you still angry? I didn't really hurt you, why are you so angry?"
"Humph~ Who knows what tricks you, a cunning bat, are thinking of!"
Xiaoli got up from the ground and brushed the dirt off her body as if nothing had happened.
Lilith wasn't serious just now, so Xiaoli concluded that Lilith was still on her side.
"Lilith, why are you blocking us here?"
"…Because the king expected Brother Li to run away from here."
"Well, why don't you just let someone else come? What does he mean by asking you to come?"
Lilith shook her head. She couldn't understand what the king was thinking.
The king only gave Lilith the order to search for the tunnel, but he did not give any specific instructions on how to do it.
Xiaoli couldn't understand what the king was doing.
"People who can play chess have dirty hearts!"
Lilith did not respond to Xiaoli's complaints. She just stared at the sleeping Li and memorized Li's face firmly in her mind.
After a brief comfort, Lilith stood up and walked towards the soldiers without looking back.
"I'll get those soldiers out of the way, Xiaoli. I'll leave Brother Li to you."
"Lilith! Why don't you come with us? If the king knew you let us go, he would definitely punish you severely!"
Xiaoli's shout made Lilith hesitate for a moment, but Lilith still didn't look back.
"Xiao Li, look after Brother Li. He is not a god and cannot save the day every time. I think that if he stays with the kingdom, he may play a key role in the future."
"Lilith! Come back quickly! If you are executed by the king, you will have no future! Lilith!"
