C551 All Four of Them Were Shocked
At this time, we can't just wait. Lee Hongji said calmly, "Actually, to be able to gather with everyone here, I think we can work together to do many earth-shattering things that benefit the world. First of all, I need to make it clear that since everyone recognizes me, I will not let down everyone's trust and expectations. Here, I swear, as long as I sit in this position for a day, I will keep my promise. Not for personal gain. I also hope that everyone can supervise me on this point. "
Lee Hongji seemed to always be able to understand the true thoughts in people's hearts, which was why he made such a prompt statement.
However, it was also true. Lee Hongji's identity as the rebel king... It really made some mature and steady people doubt him. It also made many big and powerful martial arts tycoons worry that they would be beaten to a pulp by others. After all, a few rebel kings had shouted out slogans, saying that they would "divide the land equally and not pay the rations." Anyway, those fellows had nothing. No matter how many empty checks they made, they would not feel the slightest heartache. As for what would happen in the end, that would depend on after they obtained the world.
Now that Lee Hongji had made such a solemn declaration, everyone at least temporarily put down their worries in this regard. At the very least, Lee Hongji had made clear of his identity as the rebel king, and claimed that he didn't seek personal benefits. Of course, no matter what he said, what would he do in the end? He could only take things one step at a time. Moreover, if he had a good relationship with Li Da Alliance Master, his power and wealth would naturally be preserved. Having more friends meant having more options. Lee Hongji finished his words. There were very few people who weren't satisfied with him.
He said that it was very few, but there were still some who were dissatisfied with him. At the very least, the fourth prince of Qing Dynasty, Ye Bushu, might not be as pleasing to the eye to him. As for Jiang Wanfang, the Thousand Households of Dong Chang, he should not feel good about the fact that the rebel king had become a leader, but he and his companions had kept their promises. They had not interfered in the matter all this while. This had somewhat overturned the cruel and unreasonable image of Dong Chang in the hearts of the people.
Zhang Jingxuan watched Lee Hongji's performance with all his might, and a faint smile appeared on his face. No one knew what he was thinking, but it could be seen that he was in a good mood.
At this moment, rapid footsteps could be heard from below. Lee Hongji raised his eyebrows. He knew that the person he had been waiting for had finally arrived.
A group of people rushed over in a hurry. They were all dressed in black, with their drapes covering their faces. When they entered the battlefield, they came to Lee Hongji's side.
One of them was obviously the leader. He came in front of Lee Hongji and whispered into his ear. He said something to ___. The tall Lee Hongji slightly bent down to listen, his brows constantly knitted. Occasionally he would nod his head, the expression on his face appearing to be so focused.
At this time, Zhang Jingxuan was also paying attention to the activity here. The relaxed expression on his face had disappeared. Instead, it became more serious. His eyes, which were staring at them, even showed some anxiety. This made those who were familiar with him somewhat puzzled. What was the reason that could make Zhang Jingxuan, who usually remained calm even when Mount Tai collapsed, become like this?
Almost everyone was getting impatient from waiting. Only then did the two of them end their muttering. Lee Hongji gestured for the person to retreat, and then straightened his back. He faced the crowd. Those who were attentive enough might be able to notice the majestic Lee Hongji, who had always been like a deity descending to the mortal world. At this moment, it felt like he was hunchbacked. However, they didn't know if it was because he was carrying too many things on his back.
This time, Lee Hongji's eyes seemed to be somewhat unfocused. He didn't know where he was looking, but the determination in his words was still there.
"Heroes, the news that I just received is truly unacceptable. This matter is extremely important. In short, everything can only be explained by facts. My subordinate caught a fellow who participated in the killing of Hero Lee, and an old subordinate of Hero Lee was also here. I think it's better to ask them to speak for us."
As soon as he finished speaking, his subordinate dragged out a man. The man was wrapped in a long black robe, and his face was also covered. At the same time, two men in black came out. They were wearing drapes, and their faces could not be seen either.
Zhang Jingxuan seemed to have calmed down, but the familiar smile on his face had disappeared.
One of Lee Hongji's subordinate reached out and took off the hat on the man's head, revealing a thin and weak face. His mouth was tightly pursed, and there was a look of fear in his eyes. If one looked closely, they would find that his hands and feet were still tied up. It was none other than that poor Corina.
"Speak! Who killed Lee Yuming and Hero Lee? What kind of plot do you have?"
A burly man asked in a stern voice, causing Ke Lianhu to shiver in fear. However, looking at his tightly shut lips, it seemed that he did not want to speak. There was a hint of despair on his face, but he seemed to be used to it. So he wasn't really afraid.
Seeing that he didn't receive any response, the big man's face was filled with anger. He raised his hand and was about to hit Ke Lianhu's face.
"Stop! Let me say it!"
Zhang Jingxuan's lazy voice was heard. The man in black put down his arm as if he had expected someone to stop him.
Zhang Jingxuan appeared in front of Ke Lianhu in a flash. He moved as fast as lightning. He had removed all the restraints on his hands and feet. When he attacked, he felt a thick layer of cloth covering his hand. He thought to himself that someone must have suffered a little. Fortunately, Corina did not suffer much. Ke Lianhu seemed to have known earlier that he would see Zhang Jingxuan, and his face was filled with anxiety. However, he was not afraid. Zhang Jingxuan thought he would cry, but he didn't.
"This has nothing to do with him. Why did you capture him?" Zhang Jingxuan's voice was filled with displeasure.
"If you want to capture him, you should at least arrest me! Because I was the one who killed Lee Yuming and Mr. Lee!"
When these words were spoken, all four of them were shocked.
That day in Siwu Inn, although white-clothed scholar had already announced the news of Zhang Jingxuan killing Lee Yuming, however, a strange change happened very quickly. Everyone in the inn had died or been injured. Most of the lucky survivors had received Zhang Jingxuan's kindness. Naturally, they wouldn't spread such news. Therefore, this matter wasn't considered a shocking secret. However, only a small number of people in the Jianghu knew about it, and this was the first time most of the people present had heard about it. No wonder they were so surprised.
Whether it was Zhang Jingxuan himself or his Litre Bucket Sect, both had excellent reputations. It could even be described as being praised by tens of thousands of people. They did not offend anyone in their lives. They even received supplies later on, and they would provide aid to the disaster victims.
