Tat tat tat.

The two of them passed through a pitch-black stone passage. It was similar to a tomb. Suddenly, a beam of light from a torch appeared in front of them.

Seeing that they were about to reach their destination, Li Ran suddenly had an unspeakable feeling of apprehension.

The secret to topple the entire Empire of Xuan —

What could it be?

It sounds exciting.

To be honest, he was not only nervous, but also a little curious.

"Li Ran, you're really brave."

Liu Xiaoxiao suddenly smiled and asked, "Are you really not afraid that I'll kill you?"

The corner of Li Ran's mouth curved into a smile. "You're reluctant to kill me because I'm so handsome."

"Shameless." Liu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him.

"Isn't that the truth?" Li Ran mocked.

"Haha, of course I'm speaking the truth. If it weren't for the fact that you were bewitching me with your beauty, I would have locked you up here."

Liu Xiaoxiao's words sounded casual, but Li Ran was secretly astonished by her words.

In a secret room?

Could it be that this Liu Xiaoxiao had a perverted disposition?

Confinement program?

Did he even know how to play?

However, Li Ran was not afraid in the slightest.

His five senses were extremely acute. He could clearly feel that other than him and Liu Xiaoxiao, there were several Cyan Eyed Fox Demons behind him. They were about ten steps away from him.

In other words, if anything unexpected were to happen, he would have the chance to strike first and take control of the demon leader Liu Xiaoxiao.

In a life or death situation, any principle was nonsense.

The two of them took a few more steps forward, and the light became stronger and stronger. It almost illuminated the entire secret passageway. Surprisingly, a circular battle room appeared in front of them.

"I can't see that this little red clothes pavilion really has a different world."

Li Ran sighed as he saw a blurry silhouette tied to a wooden pillar.

"Do you know him?" Liu Xiaoxiao asked.

Li Ran didn't say anything as he walked up. He noticed that this brother was fair and handsome. Although he was a lot inferior to Li Ran, he could still be considered a qualified gigolo.

At this moment, he was only wearing his underpants, and his head was hanging down powerlessly. He had been unconscious for quite a while.

"Pei Yan? "The son of Minister of Revenue Pei Zhongshu, Pei Yan?"

"He's actually here!?"

Li Ran stared at him for a long time before suddenly recognizing the other party's identity.

Similar to the Earth of his previous life, this world's officials also gave birth to many circles, such as the imperial city's second generation circle.

If Li Ran and Ma Wenjie were considered the third-rate officials amongst the second generation, then people like Pei Yan were practically at the peak of craftsmanship. Everyone wanted to curry favor with them and walked with ease.

What kind of existence was the Revenue Minister?

A second rank official!

In a sense, he was equivalent to the Minister of Finance of Earth!

Most importantly, the Minister of Revenue Pei Zhongshu was a student of Prime Minister Zhang Ningbao. This relationship made his status even higher, far surpassing that of ordinary civil officials.

"Don't be so surprised, there's more over there."

Liu Xiaoxiao smiled and held Li Ran's hand as they walked to another corner.

Turtle, this is incredible!

Li Ran raised his head and looked over. There were actually ten or so unconscious people tied to a wooden beam. He even recognized many of them!

The son of Supervising Magistrate Qiu Mingzhi, the son of Qiu Qing, the son of Supreme Court Official Xu Zijin, the son of Xu Long, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice Zhou Yuan, and the son of Great Scholar Li …

Half of the imperial city's officials and second generations were tied up here!

"Sister, you …." Gathering stamps? Gather the men of the second generation, Heavenly Sphere, and summon the divine dragon? "

Li Ran was flabbergasted when he saw this.

Liu Xiaoxiao looked at him with seductive eyes. "Li Lang, do you know that they are nothing compared to you? In my heart, they can't even compare to a single hair on your head."

"Wow, that's my honor."

Li Ran raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you afraid of the imperial government finding out that you've committed such a heinous crime?"

"But I didn't do anything, so why should I be afraid?"

Liu Xiaoxiao blinked innocently, "These people are at home unharmed."

Li Ran instantly understood this.

It turned out that after Liu Xiaoxiao locked these officials and second generations in a secret chamber, she immediately had her Cyan Eyed Fox become a double and returned to their respective homes.

Although the cultivation of a lesser demon like the Cyan Eyed Fox was insignificant, its disguising and imitating abilities were one of the oddities of the demon world.

In other words, at this moment, these Cyan Eyed Fox had already transformed into the son of a scholar and the son of a scholar.

"But I have a question." Li Ran frowned, "Why are you doing this? "Extortion of the imperial government?"

"Extortion? "Oh, Liro, you're underestimating me."

Liu Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly as she neared Li Ran's ear. Her voice was terrifyingly soft as she said, "If I were to say that my empire would be overturned and my name would be changed, would you believe me if I were to trample all over Xiao Xuanyue and dismember her body?"

These words caused Li Ran's hair to stand on end.

This was f * cking rebellion!

Xiao Xuanyue, the current female emperor, was a powerhouse at the peak of rank 9. She possessed the secret techniques of the Xiao family's royal family, and in recent years, she had been able to lead the army personally. She had achieved complete victory.

At the very least, Li Ran did not believe it.

Forgive me for being blunt, old girl, having a dream is good, but you must know, for the Xiao Dynasty to be able to rule over the Central Plains for eight hundred years, they have never relied on a few officials to play tricks on them. Therefore, the children of the officials you have detained are completely insignificant. Li Ran said leisurely.

"You mean I don't have enough chips?"

Liu Xiaoxiao said with a faint smile.

"It's far from enough." Li Ran said.

"Then are these people enough?"

With a mysterious smile, Liu Xiaoxiao walked over to a wooden cabinet that looked like a huge coffin and lifted the lid.

Li Ran frowned and looked inside the coffin. He saw a few dignified looking middle-aged men with thick waists lying inside. They were obviously military officials. They were completely different from the female gunners from before.

"Who are these people?"

Li Ran asked. He really didn't know any of these uncles.

"Jinnan City, Yan Xiong, the North City, Chen Wuchuan, and …" the capital's commander, Slyin Chenyuan. " Liu Xiaoxiao said casually.

This time, Li Ran was completely convinced. He had no choice but to say this in his heart — Awesome!

Of the four strategic cities surrounding the imperial city, East Cloud City, Jinan City, West Huan City, and Feng Bei City's military leaders, two of them had already fallen into Liu Xiaoxiao's hands, as well as a local city defense leader!

In other words, at this very moment, the person who was in charge of the entire army in the military camp had been replaced by the Cyan Eyed Fox Demon under Liu Xiaoxiao!

What sort of concept was this?

This was equivalent to the three military sector chiefs in his previous life being forcefully turned over by someone!

This woman had something to offer.

Li Ran was shocked.

"Liro, you don't have to be nervous."

Liu Xiaoxiao's slender jade-like fingers caressed Li Ran's cheek. "In the future, if I become the emperor, I will definitely grant you the title of emperor and lead the world with me. Who asked me to like you?"

"Sister, don't you think it's too simple?"

In that split-second, Li Ran suddenly thought of something and lifted his head to look at Liu Xiaoxiao.

"Since we're all going to be friends, I advise you to run away now. There's no need to wait until tomorrow."

Li Ran shook his head and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the people from the imperial government are already on their way here. Not only are there powerful warriors, there are also people from the imperial government."

"What are you talking about? "How is this possible!?"

Liu Xiaoxiao frowned.

"You're underestimating the current female emperor."

Li Ran sighed with emotion, "For her to be able to sweep away her political enemies and ascend to the throne from an unfavored and weak imperial maiden is definitely not as simple as you think."

"Hmph, what's so special about that old woman Xiao Xuan Yue? If it wasn't for that Daoist Priest Murong, she wouldn't even be considered a fart!"

Liu Xiaoxiao felt her emotions go out of control.

"Aiya, no matter what, it's fine. In any case, you were too hasty in playing this game, so your efforts were in vain."

Li Ran narrowed his eyes, "Now, answer my last question. Why didn't you capture Ma Wenjie? His father is the assistant minister of the Military Department and is in charge of the military seal around the capital. Furthermore, his father Ma Feng loves his son like his life.

Liu Xiaoxiao lowered her head in silence. At this moment, a ghostly figure rushed in. Li Ran was alarmed and with a wave of his hand, a golden True Element Seal appeared.

Hm? It was an old woman.

The Madam of the Hong Chang Restaurant?

Oh, that's not right. To be exact, it was an old fox demon.

Li Ran said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my instincts …"

The old fox demon did not care about him and vomited a mouthful of blood as it shouted at Liu Xiaoxiao,

"Your Highness, it's bad!" The people of the imperial government had rushed in. They were the third grade martial artists from Dongchang and the Rainbow Shadow Workshop! Also … There are also more than ten teachers from the "Divine Avenue Surveillance Bureau"! "
