Tang Lie shook his head and said: "It is my duty to protect the young lady. You need to thank me." He was dissatisfied with Pu Longqi for letting Lester go just now, and his tone was extremely harsh.

Pulongqi smiled bitterly and said, "Are you blaming me for letting Lester go?"

"If you have grown-up difficulties, the cuttlefish dare not complain."

Pu Longqi whispered: "I want to kill that bastard more than you do, but this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface."

Tang Lie said silently that what Pu Longqi said was true. Although killing Lester was simple, dealing with the series of consequences was extremely complicated. Pu Longqi had to consider the overall situation.

Pu Longqi said: "They must have spent a lot of effort in planning today's events." They had already reached the three-way intersection ahead. Pu Longqi stopped and signaled his warriors to let go of Yue Ling. Yue Ling knelt down in front of Pu Longqi with tears in her eyes.

In front of Long Qi, he said in a trembling voice: "Master Pu, Yue Ling knows that she deserves to die in revenge, so I only ask for your forgiveness..."

Pu Longqi sighed and said: "Yue Ling, I know you are forced to do so, but no matter what, you should not frame Fuling!"

Yue Ling was already crying.

Pulongqi waved his hand and said: "Go ahead and be a good person in the future and never be taken advantage of by bad people."

Fuling came to Yue Ling's side and placed a package filled with gold and silver in front of her. She bit her lips and finally turned away without saying a word.

Looking at everyone's retreating figures, Yue Ling felt so ashamed that she threw herself on the ground and cried loudly.

Pu Longqi sat silently, his eyes flickering. After this incident happened, there was no moment of peace in his heart. If Tang Lie hadn't made a prompt decision, the development of the situation would have been unimaginable.

His fingers tapped on the desk, and he could almost conclude that Adams would never let his son do whatever he wanted.

There was a gentle knock on the door.

"Come in!" Pulongqi whispered.

Tang Lie strode in and saluted Pu Longqi: "Hello, sir!"

Pulongqi nodded appreciatively. Unexpectedly, the young man he accidentally discovered on the way had become his powerful arm. It was his presence that resolved the crisis for him and protected his most important relatives.

Pulongqi pointed to the chair opposite: "Sit!"

Tang Lie obeyed the order and sat down and whispered: "As expected, Mai Qi and her men have completely escaped."

Pu Longqi sneered: "She doesn't have that much courage. There must be someone behind this."

Tang Lie nodded and said, "I asked them to burn the farm down!"

Pu Longqi smiled and said: "That's okay, give her a small punishment."

Tang Lie asked cautiously: "Do you plan to just let this matter go?"

Pulongqi pondered for a moment and then said: "I just discovered today that there are many people in the empire who want me to conflict with Adams."

Tang Lie was slightly startled, wondering why Pu Longqi suddenly said such words.

At this time, an announcement suddenly came from outside the door, but it was General Adams coming to visit.

Tang Lie stood up and said goodbye to Pu Longqi.

Adams' visit had long been expected by Pu Longqi, but he didn't expect it to be so quick. He and Adams had always been at odds. Later, although they both supported the crown prince Xuanyuan's accession to the throne through the mediation of Sima Tai, the conflict was hidden.

, but they have never been intimate with each other. Now that something like this happened, the relationship between the two has become even worse.

Even though something like this happened, Adams still had a modest smile on his face. He came here to apologize to Pu Longqi for his son's behavior. Like Pu Longqi, he did not believe that this matter was that simple.

There were some people with ulterior motives who wanted to use his son to provoke a fight between him and Pu Longqi.

"The general is here!" Pu Longqi said hello calmly, but showed no intention of getting up.

Adams smiled slightly, and without waiting for Pu Longqi to greet him, he sat down opposite Pu Longqi. He seemed to feel the residual warmth on the chair, and said with a smile: "Mr. Pu, a friend just left?"

Pu Longqi sighed and said: "How can there be any friends in this world!"

Adams said: "I came here specifically to apologize to you on behalf of Quanzi!"

Pu Longqi said coldly: "The term "General" is quite appropriate. I never thought that you, a majestic general of the empire, would actually give birth to a son like this. I feel sad for you."

Adams was furious in his heart, but showed no signs of it on the surface. He smiled calmly and said: "His current appearance has something to do with me. It's just that I was busy with state affairs and neglected to teach him."

Pulong Qi watched Adams' performance coldly. He knew Adams very well. This man was second to none in the empire in terms of scheming and skill. He was willing to come here tonight not just to apologize for his son.

Adams said: "I know there were some misunderstandings between Mr. Pu and I in the past, but I would like to ask Mr. Pu to calm down about this matter."

Pu Longqi sneered: "Your son killed thirteen of my men in a row and took my niece away by force. Now you are here to persuade me to calm down?"

Adams said: "Mr. Pu, I have asked Quanzi about this matter. What is certain is that someone is secretly instigating it. I suspect that the real purpose of the person behind it is to use this matter to drive a wedge between us and provoke us.

dispute."

Pu Longqi said calmly: "If I hadn't considered this matter, how could I have let your son go so easily."

Adams smiled and said: "It seems that Mr. Pu and I have the same view. I wonder who Mr. Pu suspects is behind this?"

Pulongqi shook his head and said: "I am old and thinking about retiring to the countryside. Who is instigating behind the scenes is no longer important to me."

Adams whispered: "As far as I know, your Excellency encountered some twists and turns on his way back to Beijing. Don't you really want to find out the mastermind behind this?"

Pu Longqi asked: "Who does the general think he is?"

Adams laughed loudly and said: "Maybe he is your enemy, or maybe he is your best friend. You may not know."

Pu Longqi secretly scolded Adams for being cunning, but Adams' words clearly pointed the finger at Sima Tai. Pu Longqi couldn't help but think, if it was really Sima Tai, what was his purpose in provoking this dispute? He sighed: "

I am already old. When the alliance with the Sea Clan is completed, I will retire and return home..." His eyes suddenly became sharp, and his tone was tough: "But... my bones are still strong, even if someone

If he wants to break my body, my broken bones will pierce his palm!"

Adams was shocked. Pulongqi was obviously threatening him.

Pulong Qidao: "Take good care of your son, because family is very important to each of us!"

Fuling sat sadly in the garden, staring blankly at the crescent moon in the sky.

Tang Lie quietly appeared behind her: "What are you thinking about?"

Fuling was so frightened that she suddenly trembled and scolded softly: "You almost scared me!"

Tang Lie smiled and sat down next to her: "The matter is over, why should Miss keep thinking about these unpleasant things."

Fuling nodded, her eyes slightly red and said, "I'm sorry! If it weren't for me, I wouldn't have caused so much trouble."

Tang Lie said with a smile: "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Let's just regard this as a lesson and don't do it again in the future."
