It was Li Rui who had appeared at some point in time.
He was also the one who single-handedly grasped Qin Huaiyu's trump card.
His trump card was as powerful as the Luo Clan's Return Spear.
It was precisely because of this that Qin Huaiyu was shocked.
Li Rui looked relaxed as if he had caught a chopstick instead of a golden mace.
If Yuchi Baolin was hit, even he would be heavily injured.
Even so, Li Rui still managed to take it easily. Qin Huaiyu was completely convinced.
He immediately knelt down and apologized,"Your Highness, I know I was wrong. I won't do it again!"”
Yuchi Baolin felt as if he had been pulled back from the gates of hell. He even imagined his chest being pierced through just now.
After he was safe, he immediately thanked him." Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life!”
Looking at their performance, Li Rui nodded and said,"Get up. If there's a next time, I won't let you off easily.”
"Understood!"
Qin Huaiyu and the others immediately replied respectfully.
Now, all the generals had sincerely submitted to Li Rui, completely changing their previous views.
At this moment, two people suddenly rushed in from the entrance of the Imperial Residence.
When he saw Li Rui and the others, he smiled and said,""Please forgive me, sirs. I went the wrong way.”
After saying that, he turned around and ran.
Li Rui narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction where the two people left as if he was looking at a dead man.
Qin Huaiyu and the other generals looked at each other and immediately reacted.
This was the Imperial Residence. Had he gone the wrong way?
The few of them chased after him.
Li Rui waited calmly in the Imperial Residence. Those two people who dared to trespass into the Imperial Residence were already sentenced to death.
Even without Qin Huaiyu and the others, the net would have brought them back.
Not long after, there was a commotion.
Yuchi Baolin and Cheng Chumo each dragged one of them back to the mansion.
Qin Huaiyu reported," Your Highness, there's something wrong with the identities of these two people. They have weapons and poison on them, and they're quite skilled. Do you think we should report them to the Ministry of Justice?"”
"We're innocent. We…Oh!"
One of them still wanted to struggle, but just as he shouted, he was hit by Yuchi Baolin's fist and turned around.
"Dian Wei, Xu Chu." Li Rui shouted towards the backyard, and two burly men walked over.
Putting down the teacup in his hand, Li Rui said slowly,"" Take these two people away. Since you brothers have come to seek refuge with this king, there is one thing you must know. This king likes to control things by himself, so there are some things that need not be reported to the six tribes.”
This was also Li Rui's reminder for them to be mentally prepared.
Prince Ning's residence did not rely on the imperial court, but had its own power.
Hearing this, the generals were not afraid. Instead, they cupped their fists excitedly and said,"I understand!"
This was the opportunity they were looking for.
If they were to rely on the Imperial Court, even if there was a war, they would not be able to obtain any merit points.
Seeing that it was almost time, Li Rui ordered indifferently,"That's all for today. I'll arrange a place for you tomorrow.”
"Where are you going, Your Highness?" Yuchi Baolin asked in confusion. We can follow His Highness."
"Ting Qu 'er, if you want to pay, this king won't care.”
As he spoke, Li Rui walked out with Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and the others following behind him.
The few generals were surprised and moved.
However, when he thought of the rod education at home, he immediately suppressed the thoughts in his heart. He could only wave his hand helplessly and say,"Then I shall take my leave."
……
After the sun set, Li Rui came to Purple Orchid Pavilion after listening to music for the whole day.
As the sky turned dark, the business of Purple Orchid Pavilion was also exceptionally booming.
One of the top performers, Nongyu, was playing the piano, causing the audience to cheer.
He didn't know if these silkpants could understand the zither music.
In the topmost pavilion, the top-grade agarwood was burning, releasing a faint green smoke.
Li Rui sipped his tea. The Empyrean Goddess stood behind him while two people knelt in front of him.
[Net: Xuan Jian!]
He was one of the eight swords of Yue Ba, a heaven-level assassin.
At this moment, he was explaining in fear,"Master, this subordinate did not do his job properly and allowed them to break into the residence. Please punish me!"”
Beside him was a woman dressed in purple and black armor. Her pretty face was cold.
[Net: Frightening Salamander!]
He was one of the eight swords of Yue Ba, a heaven-level assassin.
She handed over a piece of information and said,"Master, the two people who trespassed into the wangfu are secret agents of the Cui family of Qinghe.”
Li Rui's eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc as he reviewed the information in his hands. He chuckled and said,""The Cui family of Qinghe, how dare a small noble family like them extend their hands into Chang 'an.”
Startling Salamander's cold voice reported again,""Master, the Cui family of Boling, the Lu family of Fanyang, and other families are also restless. Ever since the incident with the Turks, they have been moving around more frequently, and the number of spies pouring into Chang 'an has also increased.”
"Today, the people of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs have already begun to investigate the princes.”
The five surnames and the seven surnames are Cui, Lu, Li, Wang and Zheng.
Among them, the Li and Cui surnames each had two prefecture kings, so they were collectively called the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs!
It was the largest aristocratic family in the Tang Dynasty, and its influence was huge.
Among them, the Cui Clan had even faintly suppressed Taizong's Li Clan, showing how powerful they were.
Moreover, the gentry clans were powerful, and most of the ministers in the court were among the Five Wangs.
Even Li Shi Min didn't want to provoke them before his foundation was stable.
At this moment, Masked Sun appeared in the room and said respectfully,""Master, someone sneaked into the Imperial Residence just now and was caught by the net.”
"Who is it?" Li Rui asked lightly.
"It's the secret agent of the Lu family of Fan Yang."
Li Rui smiled. He didn't expect the Five Families and Seven Wangs to be so impatient. They would interfere with the slightest disturbance in Chang 'an.
This time, she had actually bumped into him and infiltrated his mansion several times.
Did he really think that he could do whatever he wanted just because he was from the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs?
"Who are the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs? How dare they stir up trouble in Chang 'an!”
Li Rui suddenly stood up and took down the Dragon Spring Sword hanging at the side, revealing a murderous intent.
"Pass down the order!"
" The net has been activated. Tonight, all the minions of the Five Families and Seven Wangs will be eliminated. Tomorrow, I want to see a clean Chang 'an City!"”
Masked Sun, Xuan Jian, and Startling Salamander said in unison,"This subordinate will obey!"
Walking to the window, Li Rui looked at Chang 'an City hidden in the night and muttered,""Five Surnames and Seven Wangs, don't force me to uproot you.”
……
Two more black shadows sneaked into the Ning Imperial Residence.
As soon as they landed, they felt a cool sensation on their necks. Then, their eyes widened in disbelief.
He did not expect to be attacked at all. In the end, he stopped breathing unwillingly.
This was already the sixth batch of secret agents that the network personnel had killed.
Because the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs did not receive any news from the Ning Imperial Residence, they kept sending people to investigate.
However, the final result was the same. No one survived.
……
Vermilion Bird Street, Cui Yong's mansion.
The members of the Cui family of Qinghe were already third-grade officials.
Secretly help the Cui family to deploy manpower and grasp the movements of Chang 'an Fortress.
This time, he was the commander of the Cui Corps.
Two hours had passed since he received the order to send the people to the Ning Mansion, but he had not contacted them yet.
" What a bunch of trash!" Cui Yong scolded in frustration." Prince Ning is just a playboy prince. It will take so long to investigate him!"”
Before he could finish, a black sword pierced through his chest.
The other people in the room didn't even have time to react to how this person had appeared before they were knocked down one after another. They didn't have any room to resist at all.
Cui Yong struggled as he turned his head. When he saw Xuan Jian's cold expression, he said unwillingly,"You…how dare you, I…I am…the Cui family of Qinghe, pfft!”
Xuan Jian pulled out his black sword and looked at his body that was slowly falling down and gradually losing its vitality.
" The Cui family will be removed from Chang 'an tonight!"
