Chapter 322: Protector

Li Wuming quickly gave the answer.
"Caixing is not strong enough now, so I need to find a protector for her."
Li Wuming said indifferently: "Originally, I wanted to ask King Yan to protect the way for the stars. Unfortunately, King Yan had an accident..."
"So, Dean Li wants me to be the guardian?" Lu Li smiled bitterly, "Dean Li can't help but value me too much."
Li Wuming smiled and said, "Now, in the Swallowing Heaven Sacred Kingdom, are there any young talents better than General Lu?"
"In just a few months, to be able to occupy a high position in King Yan's Mansion and stir up the situation in the Imperial Capital. Whether it is means, strength, or character, you are the best choice."
"Of course, these are not absolute reasons."
Li Wuming turned his head to look at the martial arts field, and after a moment of silence, he said, "The reason I really came to you is because you are greedy but know how to score."
"Zhen Guojin, Dibu, designed to kill Yuan Jingtao, and even participated in the conspiracy between His Majesty and King Yan. You have played a very important role in these matters, and you can be seen behind every incident. Ambitious means. Especially now, you have saved King Yan's life and replaced Yuan Jingtao as the head of foreign affairs. If the two countries were not at war, it would not be an exaggeration to say that you would have reached the sky in one step."
"Especially now that His Royal Highness Yan's martial arts has been abolished, Qinglian... that is, although Ge Xinyue has a superb skill, she may not be your opponent. For you, it is the overhead Yan King, who will take the entire Yan King Mansion and even the power of God The best opportunity in your hands."
"But you are still willing to be loyal to His Royal Highness Yan Wang to this day. It means that although you are greedy, you have a sense of measure and know how to advance and retreat."
Lu Li was dumbfounded for a moment, and said helplessly: "Dean Li would have thought of me too good. If Dean Li didn't mention it, I wouldn't know that I had done so many important things."
"Of course you are excellent."
Li Wuming smiled and said: "At that time, the little madman Shen Fangge threatened to kill you, but he was defeated by you. He was sent to Hanshan Academy by the Shen family and has not returned. Prior to this, he was hailed as the most promising among the family. A genius who has become a master, but after you appear, the aura of this genius is completely shattered, and it even seems a little stupid."
Mentioning Shen Fangge, Lu Li frowned slightly, remembering his first real enemy, and said meaningfully: "Of course he is stupid, but he is not stupid in his brain, but stupid and pedantic."
"Preserving the tacit understanding between the rich family and the royal family, this is his biggest mistake."
"If I were him, relying on the Shen family's resources and don't use it, and I have to end up personally when I'm not sure, then I might as well commit suicide."
Lu Li's words didn't seem to be mocking, but he directly wiped out the entire circle of power and nobility in the imperial capital, and all of them became idiots.
Li Wuming also didn't expect Lu Li to be so bold, but his eyes brightened a bit, admiringly said, "Manager Lu is really a wonderful person."
"Unfortunately, the tacit understanding between the noble family and the royal family is the rules. They must abide by these rules and move around the rules to be able to safely get everything they want. If everyone treats the rules as nothing, this world It's already messed up."
"Up to the emperor, down to the people, in fact, they must be bound by rules. No one can do whatever they want."
Li Wuming's tone was calm, not like exhortation, but more like saying a simple truth to Lu Li.
Lu Li didn't refute, but he didn't completely agree. "Everyone needs to abide by the rules. This is true. But some people's keeping is actually trampling and exploiting."
"Oh?" Li Wuming smiled, "Then Director Lu thinks, who is trampling and who is using it?"
"The people who set the rules are using the rules, and the people who know the rules are trampling the rules."
After Lu Li finished speaking, he shook his head again: "Actually, these are not important. What is important is how the rules are determined."
"What does Mr. Lu think?" Li Wuming seemed to have intentionally guided Lu Li to continue.
Lu Cheng knew well, but didn't feel disgusted.
Because Li Wuming has no malice.
"President Li, just like Wu Zong, what are the rules?"
Lu Li asked rhetorically.
Li Wuming thought for a moment, and then said: "For stability, for diligence, for inheritance."
"Stabilize internally, improve strength, and pass on knowledge."
"For these, Wu Zong has rules."
"Okay." Lu Li nodded: "Dean Li said it was right, then why did the Heaven-Swallowing Saint Kingdom set the rules?"
Li Wuming opened his mouth, but made no sound.
At this moment, even Ling'er looked at him in a little surprise, wondering why he was suddenly speechless.
In fact, Li Wuming already had countless answers in his chest. For the people, for the sake of sentient beings, and even for the stability of the emperor's power, these were either awe-inspiring or rebellious answers, and each of them could be a reason for the Holy Kingdom to formulate rules.
But when the words came to his lips, Li Wuming could not speak.
Finally Li Wuming sighed: "Manager Lu can see clearly."
Lu Li laughed: "It's not that I can see clearly, but I think there is a problem with your rules."
"So I don't need the rules, and I don't want to follow the rules."
As soon as he said this, Jiang Caixing stared at Lu Li suddenly.
This sentence is indeed a bit treachery.
However, Li Wuming didn't have any expression. He just nodded his head to signal that he understood, and smiled and said: "If this is the case, then let Manager Lu decide for himself."
He no longer mentioned the matter of protecting Jiang Caixing, as if the previous conversation did not exist at all.
After that, he took Lu Li and Ling'er to visit Wu Zong, and agreed to Ling'er's request to enter Wu Zong to study, indicating that as long as he is still in Wu Zong for one day, all Wu Zong's books can be opened to Ling'er.
This is considered a reward.
Or it can be regarded as an investment.
Although Lu Li did not explicitly agree, he did not explicitly refuse.
After some conversations, Li Wuming determined that Lu Li was a smart person and he must have his own thoughts in his heart. Not responding to this matter now does not prevent Li Wuming from showing goodwill to Lu Li in advance.
The promise that Ling'er could enter Wu Zong to read was a kindness to Lu Li, and it was also kindness to Ling'er.
When the sun gradually set, and the dusk had arrived, Lu Li took Ling'er and got up to leave.
Li Wuming didn't keep him, but told Jiang Caixing to go and see him off.
All the way to Wu Zongshan gate, Jiang Caixing did not speak, and the atmosphere was silent and weird.
"Teacher Jiang, just send it here." Lu Li stopped in front of the mountain gate and bid farewell to Jiang Caixing.
When he turned around, he heard Jiang Caixing's voice behind him, "Wait."
Lu Li looked at Jiang Caixing suspiciously.
The latter obviously showed a look of embarrassment, and said, "It's about...about that..."
She hesitated, and finally said: "Nothing..."
When Lu Li saw this, he knew what she wanted to ask, and smiled: "I will send Ling'er to Wu Zong to read in the last few days. If Jiang Jiaoxi has free time, he can help me point Ling'er."
Hearing these words, Jiang Caixing's face became a little hot, but he nodded gently and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
After Lu Li finished speaking, he took Ling'er and left the Wuzong Mountain Gate.
Jiang Caixing stood there steadily, until the two of them were completely gone, and finally whispered: "Heaven and earth spiritual energy... is it also a kind of energy that can be controlled?"
Before she finished her voice, there was a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy around her.
"It turns out... it's really like this." She looked at the aura that was faint but actually staying beside her, and a touch of joy appeared in her eyes.
...
"teacher."
After returning to Wuzong, Jiang Caixing saw Li Wuming's lone figure standing by the cliff, and the joy in his heart suddenly disappeared.
"Send them away?" Li Wuming originally seemed to be thinking about something. Hearing Jiang Caixing's voice, he immediately recovered, his voice was gentle.
Jiang Caixing nodded.
Li Wuming noticed that her mood was a little depressed, and smiled and said, "Why, think I will be alive in a few days?"
"Don't worry, I know my body. At least, before you...you both grow up, I won't die of old age."
Li Wuming reached out and patted Jiang Caixing on the shoulder.
Jiang Caixing's nose was sour, and he whispered: "Teacher, I don't want to be the leader of the war academy."
"I...I'm not strong enough."
As if afraid of seeing a disappointed expression on Li Wuming's face, Jiang Caixing avoided his eyes, "It is best for the teacher to sit in this position."
