I'm the one running the game

"Greetings, Lord Lu, the Cavalry Commandant. I am visiting you late at night. Please forgive me, Lord Lu."

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

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

There must be some plan for visiting in the middle of the night. No one would be stupid enough to stick his head out.

Lu Xingshi opened the door and saw that the visitor was dressed like a royal guard. He should belong to the imperial faction left after the purge, not the literary party controlled by Cai Qiuhe.

"The efficiency is a bit slow. It took me until this point to find out my identity." Lu Xingshi said as soon as he opened the door.

The court still recognized Lu Xingshi's official position and did not take it back, but it was also because this official position had great limitations and became a nominal position because it did not control the corresponding military force.

If it were a position with real power, Lu Xingshi would have been replaced by someone long ago after running away for so long.

The Cangwu Army was split up because of the King of Wu, so naturally, he, the Cavalry Commander, was only a title.

It could also be because of Lu Xingshi's achievements.

"Come in, what's the matter?" Lu Xingshi let him in.

This inner guard was much more polite than the inner guard 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 embarrass a worker for no reason? It's not easy for him.

"Your Majesty invites you to come to the palace for a chat." The royal guard said in a low voice.

"It's not appropriate to go to the palace so late, right?" Lu Xingshi didn't figure it out. It was almost twelve o'clock now.

Normally, at this time, people would have gone to bed long ago. Who would have a meeting?

Not to mention this ancient society, even in modern society... Oh, this is really possible.

Lu Xingshi remembered some bad memories.

"This is the order of your majesty, so it's naturally appropriate." The royal guard responded in a low voice.

He didn't care whether it was appropriate or not. The emperor asked, what else could he do.

"Well, I'll go with you." Lu Xingshi didn't refuse.

The reason was very simple. Everyone had the same goal. Lu Xingshi simply wanted Cai Qiuhe and Wen Daoguan to die, and the emperor had the same idea.

Then everyone hit it off and could cooperate again.

If Lu Xingshi wanted to do this, he needed enough information channels, such as knowing where Wen Daoguan was located, or who were the disciples of Wen Daoguan, and how many people in the court were related to Cai Qiuhe.

That's right, he came to take revenge with the idea of ​​cutting the grass and eradicating the roots.

The premise of not bringing harm to the family is that the children will not benefit. You can't have both.

Besides, this is a personal grudge, not a great cause or justice. He just came to vent his anger. How could he have so many scruples.

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

After all, it was the emperor's task.

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

Another possibility was to return to Kunlun.

If he used his force, Lu Xingshi didn't care, anyway, he was also using the emperor's intelligence channels, which was mutually beneficial.

As for the latter two, he had to find a way to refuse or kill the other party.

Sitting in the carriage thinking about countermeasures, and then suddenly rushed out of the carriage.

The royal guard who drove for Lu Xingshi was a little confused, what's going on with you.

The next moment, a large number of crossbows shot through the carriage. At this moment, the eyes of the royal guards changed. If Lu Xingshi hadn't helped him escape this disaster, he would have become a hedgehog with the carriage.

The enemy with a strong crossbow, no matter who he assassinated, was a big case. This is Kyoto, and there are thieves who can have such armaments.

Before he could open his mouth to remind Lv Xingshi, he saw Lv Xingshi's whole body leaving a trail of afterimages in the dark night, and rushed towards the location of the crossbow volley.

The speed was so fast that even before the second wave of crossbows could be fired, Lv Xingshi had captured a thief.

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

"Swish~"

A stream of smoke rushed straight to the sky. Obviously, the enemy was also frightened by Lv Xingshi's speed and directly issued an order to retreat.

Lv Xingshi's face sank: "Want to leave? Originally planned to capture you alive, now I can only send you on your way."

As he spoke, Lv Xingshi directly broke off a large piece of floor tiles, pinched it into several stones, and then turned into flowers scattered from his hands.

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

The lucky ones died on the spot, but the unlucky ones were miserable. The broken stones entered their bodies and caused them to become disabled and painful, while the seriously injured ones were powerless.

"This inner guard, the security of the capital is worrying. Aren't you afraid that thieves will enter the palace one day?" Lu Xingshi walked back and said with a solemn tone.

It is obvious that the struggle between the emperor and the Cai Xiangwen party has reached the point of tearing their faces apart, otherwise they dared to use a powerful crossbow in the street?

If someone else came, they would have died by now.

"This is the first time. Perhaps it is your reputation, Lord Lu, that frightened these scoundrels and had to ambush you to prevent you from entering the palace to meet 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 literary 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 firmly established 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 and destroys those who have hatred.

"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.
