Chapter 397: Changing attitude faster than turning the pages of a book
After the war, Li Lan's energy was exhausted and he became a useless man again.
If he was in a safe place, Li would have definitely cleared his mind and just waited for his magic power to slowly recover.
However, the capital was in a state of chaos today. Li Qiang managed to maintain consciousness, but he staggered from side to side like a drunkard.
Lei carried Li, whose legs were weak, and was almost dragged into the ditch by Li. After Lei barely brought Li back to the front of the Caiyun Catering store, he was already sweating from exhaustion.
"Lee, you're home, wake up."
Lei slapped Li's face hard, and Li raised his head and looked at the store in front of him.
There was a fat man standing in front of the store. Li blinked before he recognized who he was.
"George! Isn't your brother Paige here?"
George was confused. He didn't have any brothers and he didn't know anyone named Paige.
George was still wearing his loose butler's clothes as usual, and kept wiping the sweat from his face with a handkerchief.
"Mr. Li, my prince is here to dine in the restaurant. You don't look like you're fit to meet His Royal Highness."
George kept winking at Lee, his lips trembling and his eyes rolling around.
Li, who was not in a clear mind, burst out laughing when he saw George's facial expression performance.
"George, if you have a facial cramp, I recommend you see a doctor~"
Ignoring George's warning, Li turned to look at Lei who had brought him back.
"Uncle, thank you for sending me home. It's safe here. When my magic power recovers, I will go back and continue digging the ruins."
Lei looked at Li, whose brain was short-circuited, and sighed silently.
"…Li, take a rest. I'm going back now."
Lei wanted to say something to Li, but he swallowed the words back.
If it were the usually shrewd Li, he would definitely be able to determine the root cause of the problem.
It’s a pity that Li, whose magic power has been overdrawn, is not very smart.
"Uncle, give my regards to the king~"
After saying goodbye to Lei, Li walked around George who was blocking his way and pushed open the door of the shop.
As a result, after entering, Li instantly woke up from his confusion.
Returning to his shop should have felt like coming home, but Li only felt cold all over.
A knight was standing beside Li, with the sword in his hand already against Li's neck.
Lee ignored the knight who threatened him with a sword and faced Leon who was sitting at the dining table in front of him.
Today's Caiyun Restaurant has no customers, or it can be said that it is full of customers.
Prince Leon, wearing sturdy full-coverage armor, sat there quietly looking at Li who had just entered the room.
Next to Leon stood a large number of knights. There were more than a dozen knights within Li's sight.
These knights were all wearing the armor of the royal guards and carrying standard swords.
From the momentum they released, it could be seen that the king had assigned all of the royal family's most elite knights to Leon's command.
Leon led the team directly to Li's lair.
“…Leon, what do you mean!?”
Even though his magic power was overdrawn, even though his head was dizzy and he was about to fall asleep at the next moment, Li still forced himself to stay awake.
Seeing Li looking tired and weak, Leon suddenly felt a little ashamed.
Leon felt filled with guilt for running over to arrest Lee when he needed rest the most.
But he won't stop his mission!
Leon raised his hand, allowing Lee to see the chess piece he was holding.
The black chess piece in Leon's hand was the black king that Li used when playing chess.
Leon placed the chess pieces on the table in front of him and stated his purpose in a regretful tone.
"I'm really sorry, Vizor Lee. The royal family owes you a huge favor. This favor is so big that it's hard to repay."
Lee took action today and dealt with the demon that was endangering the kingdom, allowing the king's coronation ceremony to continue.
With such a great contribution, it would not be an exaggeration to give Li the position of a prince, but Li has a heavy northern label, which means that he is destined to be unable to stand in the kingdom's camp.
"My father asked me to bring you a message."
Leon knocked the chess piece twice, then his head exploded, sending the chess piece representing Lee flying.
"Father said, General! Now, how are you going to respond?"
With a common enemy, the devil, the king and Lee can work together.
Now that the demon has been destroyed, Li has become the biggest threat to the king.
At the same time, Li, who had made great efforts in the fight against demons and vampires, was now weak due to overdrawn magic power.
The king had good timing and made a shameless decision, which was also very kingly.
Li was not surprised that the king would suddenly turn against him. What surprised Li was that Leon could faithfully carry out the king's orders.
"It seems that you have grown a lot, Your Highness."
"Li! I am very grateful to you! My father also values you very much. As long as you surrender and stop rebelling, I can promise to keep you safe and give you the right to participate in decision-making!"
Leon tried to win over Li, but Li shook his head and rejected Leon's kindness.
"Your Highness, your move to block me in the restaurant was brilliant. Unfortunately, your plan had a big loophole, and the checkmate on the chessboard is not checkmate!"
Leon's pupils suddenly shrank, and a feeling of palpitations spread throughout his body.
Li has been in the capital for so long that he has already planted a widespread curse in the capital through means such as contaminating food.
Li activated the curse on everyone present, making them physically weak and unable to attack him.
Different from his treatment of Vlad, Lee obviously showed mercy this time when he triggered the curse.
Leon really didn't expect that Li could actually overdraw his body to cast a curse. Fortunately, Li did not launch a killing move.
"Damn it! Catch him!"
Leon, who was lying on the table, saw that he fell unconscious after Li cast the curse, and immediately ordered the knights around him to capture Li.
The knight, who was in pain all over, stood up with his strong will and approached the unconscious Li.
Just when they were about to touch Li, the store door was suddenly kicked open and Xiaoli rushed in from outside waving a dagger.
Xiaoli knocked away the knight closest to Li, then dropped two props that emitted thick smoke, picked up Li and ran away.
Leon's layout of the restaurant was good in every way, except for the exterior of the store.
If Leon had arranged a few knights on the street to block the retreat, Xiaoli would never have been able to rescue Li so easily.
"Master! Wake up!"
Li, who was limp in Xiaoli's arms, had a pale face. He had overdrawn his magic power too many times in recent days. If he were an ordinary person, his brain would have been burned out long ago.
Xiaoli was unable to wake up the unconscious Li and became very anxious.
She knew that what Li needed most now was rest, but Leon personally brought people to arrest Li, proving that this capital could no longer accommodate the young master.
"I'm sorry, young master. It will be very bumpy. Please bear with it!"
Xiaoli carried Li on her back, grabbed some clothes that were drying in other people's homes, tore them into ropes, and tied Li to herself.
After tying up the young master, Xiaoli held the end of the dagger in her mouth and blew hard, making a sharp whistle.
The figures of little assassins immediately appeared on the roofs of the surrounding houses. They nodded to Xiaoli and then dispersed.
Xiaoli took a deep breath and kept herself calm.
Now that the young master is in a coma, all decisions need to be made by Xiaoli. Xiaoli does not want the young master to be left in the royal capital because of her mistake.
Xiaoli rubbed her cheek against Li, who was lying on her shoulder.
"Master, I'll take you home!"
