I am the one running the game

Chapter 72 The prerequisite for killing chickens to scare monkeys is that you have to kill chickens, not dinosaurs
"I have seen Mr. Lu, the Cavalry Commander, visiting me late at night. Please forgive me, Mr. Lu."

In the middle of the night at the inn, a royal guard knocked on the door outside Lu Xingshi's guest room. At this time, most people in the inn were already asleep.

But after hearing this, no one came out curiously to see what was going on.

If you come to visit in the middle of the night, there must be some plan, and no one will look around stupidly.

Lu Xingshi opened the door and saw that the person who came was dressed as a royal guard. He should belong to the imperial faction left behind after the purge, not the Wen Dang controlled by Cai Qiuhe.

"The efficiency is a bit slow. It's only at this point that I found out my identity." Lu Xingshi said as soon as he opened the door.

The imperial court still recognized Lu Xingshi's official position and had not taken it back, but it was also because the official position was very limited and it became a vacant position because he did not control the corresponding military strength.

If he had tried it in a position with real power, Lu Xingshi would have been replaced long ago after running away for so long.

Cangwu's army was split up due to the King of Wu's incident, and naturally he, the Cavalry Commander, only had one title left.

It may also be simply because of Lu Xingshi's record.

"Come in, what's the matter?" Lu Xingshi asked the other party to come in.

This guard was much more polite than the one who went to Langya Pavilion to find him before. He not only knocked on the door but also asked questions, so Lu Xingshi did not embarrass him.

Why would he make things difficult for a worker? It's not easy for him in the first place.

"Your Majesty, please invite Master Lu to come into the palace for a brief talk." The royal guard said in a low voice.

"Isn't it appropriate to go to the palace so late?" Lu Xingshi didn't realize that it was already almost twelve o'clock.

Normally at this point, I would have gone to bed long ago, and who would have a meeting?

Let alone this ancient society, this is modern society...oh, this is really possible.

Lu Xingshi remembered some bad memories.

"This is His Majesty's oral order, so it is naturally appropriate." The royal guard responded in a low voice.

He didn't care if it was suitable or not. What else could he do if the emperor opened his mouth.

"Forget it, let's go with you." Lu Xingshi did not refuse.

The reason is very simple. Everyone has the same purpose. Lu Xingshi simply wants Cai Qiuhe and Wen Daoguan to die, and the emperor also has the same idea.

Then we all hit it off and can definitely work together again.

If Lu Xingshi wants to do this, he needs sufficient information channels, such as knowing where the Wen Dao Pavilion is located, or who are the disciples of the Wen Dao Pavilion, and how many people in the court are related to Cai Qiuhe.

That's right, he came to take revenge with the intention of eradicating the root cause.

The prerequisite for harming your family is that you cannot benefit your children. You cannot have both.

Furthermore, this is a personal vendetta, not a matter of righteousness or justice. He is simply venting his anger. How can he have so many scruples?

"Master Lu, please come this way. The carriage has been prepared." The royal guards were also prepared to come. They certainly couldn't let Lu Xingshi walk over. That would be rude.

After all, it is the emperor's task.

Lu Xingshi followed him onto the carriage, and then he was thinking about why the emperor wanted to see him. It was most likely to use his force, and less likely to recruit him.

Another possibility is to return to Kunlun.

Lu Xingshi didn't care if he used his force. Anyway, he was using the emperor's intelligence channels, which was mutually beneficial. As for the latter two, you have to find a way to reject them or beat them to death.

He was sitting in the carriage thinking about countermeasures, and then suddenly rushed out of the carriage.

The imperial guard named Lu Xingshi who was driving was a little confused. What is going on with you?

The next moment, a large number of crossbow arrows were seen piercing the carriage. At this moment, the eyes of the royal guard changed. If Lu Xingshi hadn't helped him avoid this disaster, he would have turned into a hedgehog along with the carriage.

No matter who is assassinated by an enemy with a powerful crossbow, it is a serious case. This is Kyoto, and there are thieves who can actually have such weapons.

Before he could open his mouth to remind Lu Xingshi, he saw the afterimages of Lu Xingshi's whole body leaving various afterimages in the dark night, and he rushed towards the location where the crossbow arrows were fired.

The speed was so fast that Lu Xingshi captured a thief before he could even launch the second wave of crossbow arrows.

Then, he smashed the thief over and rolled directly to his feet. The thief fainted after groaning.

"Hey~"

A streak of smoke shot straight into the sky. Apparently the enemy was frightened by Lu Xingshi's speed and directly gave the order to retreat.

Lu Xingshi's face darkened: "Want to leave? Originally, we planned to capture them alive, but now we can only send you on their way."

As he spoke, Lu Xingshi tore off a large piece of floor tile and crushed it into several stones, which then turned into scattered flowers and flew out from his hands.

The stones penetrated a large number of obstacles and landed accurately on the thieves who attacked him.

If you are lucky, you will die on the spot, but if you are unlucky, it will be miserable. These gravels will bloom into the body. In the least, they will be disabled and painful, and in the most severe cases, they will be seriously injured and unable to do anything.

"As for the internal guard, the security of Kyoto is worrying, so you are not afraid of thieves entering the palace one day?" Lu Xingshi came back and said with a solemn tone.

Obviously the struggle between the emperor and Cai Xiangwen's party has reached the point of breaking up, otherwise he would dare to use a powerful crossbow in the street?

Another person would be dead now.

"This is the first time this has happened. Perhaps it was your reputation, Mr. Lu, that scared these young people into ambushing you to prevent you from entering the palace to meet with His Majesty." The royal guards were respectful this time.

He had only heard about his reputation before, but now he finally saw the real person. With such strength, it is no wonder that he was tabooed by the Wen Party and would not hesitate to attack him with a crossbow in the street.

"That's nice to say, but I guess it's more likely to scare the monkeys." Lu Xingshi said.

Of course, the monkey in this story of killing a chicken to scare a monkey is not him, but the emperor. He is just the chicken that was killed. Unexpectedly, Lu Xingshi was so fierce. He was not afraid of being surrounded and killed by a strong crossbow, but he was also able to fight back.

Now, Lu Xingshi's reputation has been directly confirmed and a brand new storm has formed.

Lu Xingshi has always been clear about grievances and grudges. He will repay those who are kind and ignore those who have no conflict or relationship. But now he kills those who have hatred and kills them all.

"Can we find out through interrogation?" Lu Xingshi changed the topic.

There is a complete living being and a group of incomplete living beings who may die at any time. If the royal guards don't even have this ability, then they should be disbanded as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, we will be able to pry out all the evidence before the court tomorrow morning." After the royal guard finished speaking, he added: "This time, Mr. Lu has no choice but to walk to the palace to face the saint."

For the imperial guards, survival and evidence are not important. All they need is a reason and justice. Now that they have it, with the emperor's acquiescence, they will pick up the rest.

Of course, it would be best to find out through interrogation.
