"I heard from Hu Yu that you were receiving an important guest. Why did you suddenly ask to see me?”
Le Hou looked at Huo Yu Gong, who had a serious expression on his face, and guessed that he might have had a very unpleasant conversation with Liu Yi.
Since Li Kai was able to stroll around Fiery Rain Manor, the person in charge of talking to Fiery Rain Duke must be Liu Yi.
"Sir, there's no need to be afraid. I believe that with your intelligence, you must already know who the person is.”Fire Rain Duke forced a smile on his face. He was almost at the end of his rope.
Le Hou rubbed her nose awkwardly. This old man looked no different from any other noble, but he was able to get along well with Bai Yifei and the Bai Yue. This meant that he was quite capable.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Fiery Rain Treasure was too tempting, this person might not have died.
"It's not that I'm smart, but I happened to encounter this army on my way here, so I knew who they were.”
"Hehe, sir, you're quite straightforward. If I had known that you had met with the Han army in the beginning, I would never have asked you to stay. Now, I'm in a dilemma.”
Le Hou understood that the reason why Fire Rain Duke was so depressed was entirely because of her.
He had already revealed his face in front of Bai Yifei's army. He had said that he was going to Chu, but he ended up in Baiyue. This made Liu Yi and Li Kai doubt his true identity.
In addition, Duke of Fire Rain had taken him in, so even Duke of Fire Rain was suspicious of these two people.
"Don't tell me you really think that they are discussing with you about the Bai Yue.”
Le Hou had a playful smile on her face. This attack on the Bai Yue, including the mastermind, Han An, had their own plans.
Han An needed a battle to establish his position in Han.
Baiyi did not want to go to Baiyue to get something, and at the same time, he wanted to get his hands on the treasure of the Fire Rain Duke.
Liu Yi simply wanted the treasure of Fire Rain Duke.
Li Kai might not have had any ulterior motives at first, but after leaving here, he must have been thinking about his daughter.
"A mere Bai Yue isn't a match for Han and Chu. They probably came to find me for my treasures.”Fiery Rain Duke smiled bitterly. He wasn't a fool. The Han and Chu allied forces were more than capable of dealing with the Bai Yue.
If he sent someone to Fiery Rain Manor with such confidence, Lord Fiery Rain would be the first to not believe him if he said that it was not for Lord Fiery Rain's treasure. Did he really think he was stupid?
"Isn't that enough? Look at you. You didn't hide the treasure and instead announced it to the world. Isn't it obvious that people will remember it?”
"This treasure is related to the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon. Even if I build it secretly, it won't escape the eyes of others.”How could Fire Rain Duke not know that if he spread the news of the treasure, he would be coveted by others?
However, his treasure was closely related to the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon. If he didn't expose the treasure, he wouldn't have been able to stay calm for so many years.
"Hey old man, you shouldn't be telling me such a secret.”Le Hou felt that this old man was acting weird today. This kind of thing could be considered a top secret among top secrets. What did he mean by telling her this?
Fire Rain Duke did not answer Le Hou's question immediately. Instead, he took a deep breath and fell silent for a long time before he said slowly,"
"Le Hou, can I trust you?”
His tone sounded as if he had made up his mind. Coupled with his distressed look, it was as if he was asking for help before he died.
Initially, Fiery Rain Duke thought that since he had said such a touching thing, Le Hou would definitely reply with," You can always believe in me.”
But unexpectedly, Queen Le shook her head at Lord Fiery Rain.
"If it's Guan Yu and Fire Rain Duke's treasure, don't believe me. I'm afraid I can't help it.”
To be honest, the Blue Dragon's Seven Constellations 'Empress wouldn't care at all. However, it was rumored that the total amount of the Duke of Fiery Rain's treasures was comparable to the national treasury of the Bai Yue.
It was nonsense to say that he was tempted by such a large amount.
It was said that the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon was a secret that only the monarchs of the seven kingdoms could grasp. Once they obtained the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon, they would be able to obtain the entire world.
Le Hou scoffed at this. What kind of shocking power could a single item have?
As long as they occupied the right time, geography, and people, they would not believe that they could not compare to the seven broken boxes.
However, the current Le Queen had no way to take away such a large amount of treasure. In addition, even after 20 years, these people had not really found the treasure of the Fire Rain Duke, so Le Queen did not have any thoughts about the treasure of the Fire Rain Duke.
If the last time Le Hou had used her platinum fishing rod to catch the Divine Armament Hundred Refinements instead of the Heaven Pass Book, he would have long thought of a way to empty the treasure of the Fire Rain Duke.
Fire Rain Duke was about to say something when he was choked by Le Hou's " sincere " words. He never thought that someone would say that he was after your treasure in front of him.
"It's not my treasure, but my two daughters. If anything happens to me, I hope you can take care of my two daughters.”
"This is not a problem, but let's not talk about Hu Ming. As for Hu Yu, she might have someone in her heart.”
If nothing unexpected happened, Li Kai and Hu Yu had already met two people. They must have fallen in love at first sight.
"Sweetheart? Could it be?"
A terrifying thought appeared in Fire Rain Duke's mind. Not only did the Han people want his treasure, but they also wanted to kidnap his daughter?
"I can't say for sure about relationships, but on account of your hospitality these few days, I can promise you that if anything really happens, I can save your two daughters 'lives.”
Having received Le Hou's assurance, Fire Rain Duke heaved a sigh of relief. From the first time he met Le Hou, Fire Rain Duke knew that Le Hou was not an ordinary person.
Moreover, Le Hou had never inquired about the Fire Rain Treasure after moving into the Fiery Rain Manor. In addition to what he had said earlier, he knew that although this person's identity was mysterious, he was definitely not from the Han Country.
"Thank you so much. In order to repay you, I can tell you the secret of the treasure. If anything happens to Fiery Rain Manor, I will destroy the entrance of the treasure first.”
Fire Rain Duke's train of thought was very clear. Even if his eldest daughter had a sweetheart, didn't he still have a second daughter? He heard from the servants that his second daughter had a good relationship with Le Hou. If the two of them really fell in love, the Fiery Rain Treasure would be the dowry that the Fiery Rain Duke gave to Hu Ming.
"Old man, can you not tell me? If you really tell me, you'll owe me a huge favor.”
Le Hou said to Fire Rain Duke with a crying face. To be honest, he really didn't want to know the secret of this treasure.
