Chapter 350 The Pope's Order Reappears
Li Xun and Zhu Zhuqing walked in the city.
Everywhere they saw was filled with crowds of supporters. Judging from their clothes, most of them should have fled from other cities.
The reason they chose to flee here was because Tianxing City was close to the sea.
Although the industrial level was not high in this era, it was still easy to catch fish with the ability of soul masters, so they did not worry about being hungry.
However, Li Xun noticed that although these people did not look hungry, their eyes were dull. They sat on the walls of houses along the street, and numbness appeared on their faces.
After a while, a team of guards came from the center of the city.
Many decadent people on the street saw the guards and immediately became energetic, and then shrank their heads one by one.
Many people secretly held a wooden statue of him and whispered something.
This made Li Xun a little confused.
However, the two had business to do, so it was inconvenient to stay, and then walked towards the center of the city.
They found a shop in the corner of a back street, and an old man opened the door a crack.
Seeing the old man's vigilant eyes, Li Xun flipped his hand and took out a token from the soul guide.
The old man's eyes lit up when he saw the token, and his body trembled unconsciously. He quickly opened the door, waited for the two to enter the house, stretched his head to look outside, and then quickly closed the door.
The situation has developed to this point. The forces of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect have basically withdrawn long ago, and only some scattered scouts remain here.
"Young Master, why are you here?" The old man hurriedly brewed two cups of tea after entering the house, and then stood aside respectfully.
"Come here to do something." Li Xun immediately asked about the current situation and whereabouts of the Zhu family.
"Although the Zhu family has always been a marriage alliance with the Dai family, I don't know what happened. It is no longer the same as before. I heard that the entire mansion is under strict control. Young Master, you must be careful when you go there."
"I know, now you don't need to do anything in Xingluo anymore. For safety reasons, you should contact the rest of the people to withdraw."
Li Xun heard the words and his heart was a little alert, while Zhu Zhuqing became nervous.
"Thank you, Young Master." The old man was overjoyed and saluted quickly.
"Be careful when you evacuate." Li Xun nodded, and took Zhu Zhuqing out of the room and walked towards the Zhu family mansion.
After being reminded.
Li Xun did not enter the Zhu family mansion directly, but first used his mental power to explore.
It was found that as the old man said, there were more than a dozen people closely following outside the Zhu family mansion
. Avoiding the sight of these people, the two flashed into the mansion.
Maybe it was because of the fear of being close to home. The closer Zhu Zhuqing was to her family, the more she was prepared.
Seeing this, Li Xun took Zhu Zhuqing's hand and covered the entire mansion with mental power. Soon, he found a figure that looked a bit like Zhu Zhuqing.
After thinking about it, he pulled Zhu Zhuqing over.
"Third sister."
"You are the younger sister? Why are you here!" Zhu Zhuqing's third sister was shocked, stood up suddenly, and quickly pulled the two into the room.
"What happened? Why are you still so careful at home?" The behavior of Zhu Zhuqing's third sister made Li Xun alert.
Close the door.
Zhu Zhuqing's third sister looked at Li Xun and Zhu Zhuqing with a complicated expression: "In fact, this matter may also have something to do with you."
Through the story, Li Xun also understood the general situation.
Because of the spirit, the Zhu family has always been the marriage of the Dai family, and the Zhu family will unconditionally support most of the decisions of the royal family.
And fighting to the death with the Spirit Hall has always been the proposition of the Star Luo Emperor.
However, in the past two months, the Zhu family found that some of the actions of the Star Luo Emperor were very strange.
After careful investigation, the Zhu family found that they did not know when, and the Star Luo Emperor had a tacit understanding with the Spirit Hall.
This led to the fact that the Spirit Hall had the strength to crush the Starfall Empire, but stopped the attack and was besieged at the border.
After all, the Star Luo Emperor is the master of a country, and coupled with the iron-blooded wrists in the royal family in the past, he has a strong control over the empire.
The little moves of the Zhu family did not escape the eyes and ears of the other party, and soon reached the ears of the Star Luo Emperor.
However, the two families have been married for generations. Although this matter involves spying on the royal family, due to the relationship between the two families, it will not affect the Zhu family.
But this is only the unilateral idea of the Zhu family.
The layers of surveillance and control outside the Zhu family mansion are the best proof.
After this happened, a group of people from the Zhu family sat together to discuss the matter, and finally thought of Li Xun and Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing's identity is no secret in the eyes of many people, and the name Li Xun has been in the limelight in recent years.
If it is not someone who is absolutely trusted, it is difficult for outsiders not to guess what role the Zhu family plays in it.
I am afraid that there are more reasons than this, Li Xun thought to himself.
The Xingluo Emperor approached the Wuhun Empire but did not surrender, and continued to send troops to the front line to create a small-scale war. I am afraid that Bibi Dong is inseparable from it.
"We came here this time because Zhuqing is worried about you. If you want to leave, I will take you back to Tiandou Empire."
"Go to Tiandou?" The third sister who was talking to Zhu Zhuqing was stunned, and shook her head after a moment:
"We can't get out. There are both open and hidden lines outside the Zhu family mansion, and there are many people in the Zhu family. As long as we dare to make an escape, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction."
"Third sister, don't worry about this. Brother Li Xun has a way." Zhu Zhuqing held the third sister's hands and said softly.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's serious look, the third sister looked at Li Xun again: "Are you sure? Did you bring the ultimate strong man from the Sea God Island?"
Li Xun shook his head: "Don't worry, if there is no way, we won't come here."
"Okay! I'll go find my mother." The third sister thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, stood up and walked out. Looking at the back of Zhu Zhuqing's third sister, Li Xun, considering the relationship between the Zhu family and the Dai family, released his spiritual power.
He saw that she really had no intention of tipping off, so he let down his guard a little.
But in a moment, the core people of the Zhu family gathered.
Among them were Zhu Zhuqing's mother, Zhu Zhuqing's second sister, third sister, and even Zhu Zhuqing's eldest sister Zhu Zhuyun.
After asking the reason, he found out that since the Emperor Xingluo and the Zhu family had a conflict, Zhu Zhuyun had returned to the Zhu family.
"I'll send you out first." Looking at the people in the room, Li Xun split out several wooden clones: "You just need to hold my clone tightly for a while."
"Wait a minute, my father is still in the palace discussing political affairs, and he needs to come back later, what should I do?" Zhu Zhuyun's face was complicated.
"It's okay, you go first, Zhuqing and I will wait here, too many people will be risky."
After Li Xun finished speaking, he didn't wait for them to agree, and decisively called on the clone to send people out with the Flying Thunder God.
After doing all this, he took Zhu Zhuqing to find a place to sit down and waited.
I thought I would have to wait until late, but I didn't expect that something happened in the Zhu family mansion after only half an hour.
At this time, teams of soldiers had surrounded the Zhu family, some of whom were heavy weapons.
And a tall figure walked into the mansion surrounded by this group of people. And there was a relatively thin middle-aged man next to him.
Li Xun had expected this situation.
Not long after the main members of the Zhu family disappeared, some maids and guards in the mansion became anxious, and there were so many people that Li Xun was unwilling to spend time.
The Zhu family's mansion was like a sieve, and it was already full of holes.
Seeing that someone was about to enter the backyard, Li Xun took Zhu Zhuqing out.
"Father." Zhu Zhuqing looked at the relatively thin middle-aged man and shouted softly.
The middle-aged man's face showed anxiety. He opened his mouth, glanced at the tall man next to him, and finally swallowed his words back.
"Oh? You look a bit like when you were a child. You are Zhu Zhuqing, right? Then the one next to you is Li Xun, right?" The tall man next to Zhu's father looked at Zhu Zhuqing and smiled.
"Exactly. You are the Star Luo Emperor?" Li Xun asked with a smile.
"Exactly."
The Star Luo Emperor nodded, waved to his subordinates behind him, and smiled: "I wonder why you came to Star Luo this time?"
The guards behind him received instructions, stepped forward, and trembled to stand between Li Xun and the Star Luo Emperor.
Li Xun's name is now known to everyone in the Star Luo Empire. Although it is not to the point of a child crying, it is also something that no one wants to face.
After all, even the Haotian Sect, which was once the number one sect on the continent, suffered heavy losses at the hands of the other party.
"My wife misses her parents a little, so I specially accompanied her back to visit them. If my father-in-law and mother-in-law agree, I would like to take them to Tiandou to live out their days."
Li Xun met the gaze of Emperor Xingluo and smiled sincerely: "Emperor Xingluo should be able to understand the hard work of us younger generations, right?"
"I am indeed somewhat filial."
The smile on Emperor Xingluo's face disappeared, and he stretched out his hand and patted Zhu's father on the shoulder: "Old Zhu, you found a good son-in-law!"
"Your Majesty is absolutely right." Zhu's father looked at Zhu Zhuqing and Li Xun with a smile on his face, and then said to Emperor Xingluo neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Hearing this, the smile on Emperor Xingluo's face gradually faded, and the hand on Zhu's father's shoulder couldn't help but use some strength:
"Such a happy event, Old Zhu, why didn't you discuss it with me? Given the relationship between our two families, how could I stop you from going to Tiandou to enjoy yourself?"
"We have only arrived not long ago, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to come so soon. It was a bit beyond my expectation."
Seeing the embarrassment on Zhu's father's face, Li Xun smiled and said, "With the consent of my mother-in-law, I have sent them away. Now it depends on what my father-in-law thinks."
"I don't think Your Majesty will be the kind of bad guy who stops us?"
Zhu's father was moved when he heard this, and the smile on his face gradually faded. His whole temperament became peaceful, and he said to Li Xun, "That's great."
"Old Zhu, it's not that I want to stop you from enjoying yourself, but the Xingluo Empire can't do without you now. Do you want to watch Xingluo decline?"
Emperor Xingluo's face changed slightly, and he clasped Zhu's father's shoulders tightly.
"Your Majesty, you and I know the current situation of Xingluo, so let's not talk about it anymore."
It seemed that the absence of his family made Zhu's father shed his disguise, and his tone was unusually calm when facing the question of Emperor Xingluo.
"Your Majesty, since my father-in-law has said so, why not let him reunite with his family? Or are you waiting for someone?" Li Xun felt a few wisps of energy and narrowed his eyes.
With a thought in his mind, a clone split out from behind him, holding Zhu Zhuqing's hand and disappearing on the spot.
Li Xun's move startled everyone present, and they quickly turned their heads and looked around, trying to find the clone and Zhu Zhuqing.
Emperor Xingluo didn't expect Li Xun to have such a space-related soul skill.
However, since he had been exposed by Zhu's father, he simply stopped hiding: "I am indeed waiting for someone, and I think you are more familiar with these people than I am."
With a flip of his palm, a token appeared, flashing in front of Li Xun's eyes and then disappeared.
"Pope's order?" Seeing the token in the hand of Emperor Xingluo, Li Xun frowned and was more certain about what he was thinking.
"Li Xun, I didn't expect you to come to Xingluo."
Suddenly, a sharp and feminine voice sounded, and then three figures appeared in various directions of the Zhu family mansion.
"It turned out to be Elder Ju and Elder Gui, who is this?" Li Xun was not surprised by the appearance of the three people, but he had no impression of one of them.
"Saint Dragon Douluo, Tuoba Xi." Seeing that he was despised, Tuoba Xi said in a deep voice with a cold face.
Li Xun looked around: "I wonder what your intentions are?"
"When we came out, His Majesty the Pope instructed that if we see you, we must invite you to the Spirit Hall." Ju Douluo covered his mouth and chuckled.
