"Uncle, where are you going to take me?" Lu Qi's face was expressionless, and his voice was relatively flat.

"Take you to the king, let's go!"

As soon as the words fell, the man walked out first, followed by Lu Qi.

The main hall where the king is located is not far away, about 100 meters apart, and the exterior is white, but the inside is relatively magnificent.

Entering the main hall, Lu Qi was attracted by a conference table about twenty meters long, carved with some strange patterns. On the other end of the conference table was a yellow-haired old man, in his fifties, flanked by three handsome men in armor, who seemed to be discussing some issues.

The masked man and Lu Qi walked in, the discussion stopped directly, and everyone looked at Lu Qi.

"Is there something wrong?" the yellow-haired old man asked directly.

"King, this is a newcomer who can be directly hired this year, called Lu Qi. The masked man replied.

It turned out that Lu Qi knew that the yellow-haired old man was actually the king of the entire Ten Thousand Souls Empire, this was the first time Lu Qi saw him, but he felt a sense of intimacy, perhaps because the king looked more peaceful, or maybe because his great achievements had spread throughout the entire Ten Thousand Souls Empire.

"Oh?" the king looked surprised and delighted, beckoning to Lu Qi, "Boy, come here." ”

Lu Qi strode to the king's side, straightened his body, and shouted softly, "Hello king!"

"Hmm!" the king nodded, and actually introduced the three generals around him to Lu Qi, "This is the Minister of War, Li Jian, and those two are the generals Fang Yong and Led." ”

After Lu Qi saluted the three of them, the king let everyone leave, and only the king and Lu Qi were left in the huge main hall.

"King, you deliberately let them leave, do you have anything you want to say to me?" Lu Qi asked directly.

"That's right, you're smart. After a brief smile, the king turned to seriousness, "Are you the same Lu Qi who defeated the leader of the mysterious organization?"

"Hmm!" Lu Qi nodded in response.

"You ought to have tested the power of fusion, and what is the result?" the king asked again.

"The first order of the fusion teacher. Lu Qi replied very simply.

But the king shook his head, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he snorted coldly, and said, "Hmph, child, you have hidden it from others, you can't hide it from me, you will be a first-order, right?"

Lu Qi was stunned and asked, "How do you know?"

"You hide the fusion power quite well, but you also underestimate the strength of this king, as far as I know, Du Yin's fusion power has reached the sect level, so, how did you defeat him? And why did you challenge him so desperately?"

"In order to protect important people!" the king asked several questions in a row, but Lu Qi only answered one, and it was the answer that the king wanted the most.

"Someone important?" said the king, shaking his head in disappointment, "perhaps, in another year or two, you will never see anyone important to you again." ”

Listening to the king say such amazing words, Lu Qi was particularly incomprehensible at this time, a solemnity appeared on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "Why?"

"Because in the near future, there will be a war with the Mar Empire, according to the information I have received, many people from the Mar Empire have infiltrated our country, if the war breaks out, this king will naturally do his best, but he will not be able to protect everyone. The king at this time seemed a little negative.

"Isn't it possible that the army of our empire can't fight against it?" Lu Qi's heart had already set off a trace of waves.

"The Mar Empire has a history of hundreds of years, whether it is from the army, or the cultivation of talents, we can't compare with it, the first king Newgate defeated Xingzun with the strength of Emperor Rong and established the Ten Thousand Souls Empire, and now Xingzun will regain all its strength in another year, and the decades of peaceful and comfortable life that people have won will be ruined in my hands. So saying, the king wept with some grief.

At this time, familiar faces slipped through his mind one by one, those were the most important people in his life, and they were also the people Lu Qi was most afraid of losing.

"Say, King, what do you need me to do?" Lu Qi's face once again showed a resolute look, "I must protect the most important person." ”

"Assassinate the Minister of War, Li Jian. The king stood up and whispered in Lu Qi's ear.

When he heard this name, Lu Qi's heart suddenly trembled, and he muttered, "This is not the ...... just now."

"That's right, he is in charge of one-third of the empire's troops, but he plans to commit treason with the Mal Empire, and those who infiltrate the empire are the ones he lets go, if the war breaks out, he may bring his own troops to treason together, so you, the Empire of All Souls will be destroyed soon. ”

Hearing this, Lu Qi's heart was already turbulent, and his mind was even more chaotic, and he muttered: "If you kill him, then the forces in his hands will be directly under your control?"

"That's right, with these forces, coupled with the unity of the whole country, there is still a chance to resist the attack of Zhu Xingzun. ”

After a short period of time, Lu Qicai adjusted his mentality again, "I need to understand his strength." ”

"Li Jian, the ninth order of the Rongshi, lives in the Li Mansion outside the palace, after the successful assassination, you will become a wanted criminal in the empire, you will flee in all directions, you will not see the light, and you will be embarrassed to survive. ”

"Why do you want to do this?" Lu Qi didn't understand.

"Li Jian is an important minister of the empire, I can't execute him directly, this will cause panic among the people of the empire, so someone needs to carry this black cauldron. ”

"So you chose me? What about my family?"

"Don't worry, I promise that your family will never lose a single hair. There's also an additional mission to do everything you can to get rid of the people sent by the Maar Empire to infiltrate our country. ”

"Then, please protect my family, or I will let the entire Empire of All Souls be destroyed. In the end, Lu Qi also carried this burden and took over the task directly assigned by the king.

Leaving the main hall and walking on the streets of the palace in a daze, Lu Qi had a lot of thoughts, all this came too suddenly, and it was normal for him to be difficult to accept all of a sudden, but when he thought of leaving the side of the person he loved the most, Lu Qi's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

If it is said that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, then this sentence is deeply confirmed in Lu Qi, a sixteen-year-old boy, with the amazing power, if he can't shoulder the responsibility of guarding his homeland, then what's the use of having this power?

Suddenly, the masked man patted Lu Qi on the back, and Lu Qi instantly woke up from his chaotic thoughts, "Lu Qi, what did the king tell you?"

"No, he said I was going to pick up the costume and then I was officially hired tomorrow. Lu Qi pretended that nothing had happened, tried his best to control his inner emotions, and said lightly.

"Then come with me!"

After the man finished speaking, Lu Qi followed him to the textile department.
