211: Chapter 209 (Sixth Update) 211: Chapter 209 (Sixth Update) He believed that if he truly could not complete this task, if he could not find this mysterious rchant within the stipulated ti, then he might never be able to return.
Not just himself, he believed that many others besides him would be implicated just like him.
After all, the look in the Commander’s eyes was indeed terrifying.
Every ti he thought of that look, it made him shudder.
This also made him instantly think of soone, a person whose presence frightened them.
The current gaze of the Commander was so similar to that person’s.
Of course, although he thought this way, he did not dare to show any negligence and hurriedly set off to take action.
His first step was to investigate who, under their supervision, had slipped through the net.
It was a sheer insult that soone could evade their surveillance and succeed in hiding.
And because of this, these guys were also secretly holding their breath in anger.
They were determined to thoroughly investigate this matter.
However, when they actually started the investigation, they were shocked to find that they had no idea this person even existed.
After questioning the shop assistants, they finally realized that this person truly existed and had indeed bought a glazed glass Qilin flask.
But there was no registration for this person, nor any clues at all, only that the individual was quite old, probably in their fifties or sixties.
And after so inquiry, the Shadow Guards were astounded that there were no traces of this person.
Even the Shopkeepers of so businesses were oblivious to the existence of such a person.
This left them as confused as headless flies.
The little Emperor and Lin Yi were naturally unaware of these events, with Lin Yi being even more so.
After all, Lin Yi believed that once the Emperor harnessed his power, it should be very easy to find a person, right?
But he could never have imagined that these people had almost turned the Capital City upside down and had not found any trace of that person.
As ti went on, the sweat began to show on the forehead of the Shadow Guard in charge of this task.
Of course, these were rely trivial incidents.
Let’s turn our attention back to the hall at this very mont!
After the amount had been confird, the little Emperor was truly overjoyed.
This ti, when she looked at Lin Yi, her eyes were filled with affection.
For so reason, the more she looked at this impudent man, the more pleasing she found him.
If it weren’t for her status and position, she would have thrown herself into his embrace and planted a kiss on his face.
Of course, even though the little Emperor’s status was restricted, preventing her from taking such action, this did not stop Lin Yi from doing so.
After a discussion, Lin Yi had quietly seated himself next to the Emperor and also sat upon the Dragon Chair.
And if an outsider were to see this scene, they would probably be scared to death.
After all, what did the Dragon Chair represent?
It went without saying.
Only the Emperor could sit upon it, not even the Crown Prince.
But what about now?
A eunuch was sitting there.
And the little Emperor was sitting beside him at the sa ti; such a scene was quite bewildering.
Of course, since Lin Yi sat there, Ying Yi imdiately got into action and surrounded the area.
No one was allowed to co in, not even a fly could buzz without Ying Yi’s sword’s approval.
And looking at Lin Yi at this mont, his hands had sohow very quietly reached around the little Emperor’s back, embracing her slim waist.
Despite the little Emperor’s outwardly expressionless face, as if unaware of Lin Yi’s subtle movents, her heart clearly perceived everything.
She thought that since the impudent man liked it, she would indulge him.
Moreover, this scoundrel had just made a great contribution for her.
With the addition of six hundred thousand taels of silver, there was so much she could do.
For instance, the earnestly desired Nanshan Base could finally be built.
“Your Majesty, about this sum of money, shouldn’t we allocate so of it to the Nanshan Base?
After all, construction is underway, and a large amount of silver is needed.”
As Lin Yi’s hand was mischievously wandering, the words he spoke resulted in the little Emperor rolling her eyes at him:
“What, the silver hasn’t even ward in my hands, and you want to take a piece of it, you rascal?
Tell how much you need.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi chuckled and then held up two fingers waggling them in front of the little Emperor.
After seeing this, the little Emperor casually waved her hand and then spoke:
“Fine, although two hundred thousand taels is not a small amount, considering you’ve earned the six hundred thousand taels, I’ll grant you two hundred thousand taels.”
Looking at the little Emperor’s generous deanor, Lin Yi couldn’t help but give a wry smile and shake his head.
Subsequently, under the puzzled gaze of the little Emperor, Lin Yi softly uttered a few words:
“Your Majesty.
I didn’t an two hundred thousand taels.”
Upon hearing this, the little Emperor was clearly taken aback, then sowhat confusedly frowned and said to Lin Yi:
“Not two hundred thousand taels; do you only want twenty thousand taels?
Hehe, you can directly withdraw those twenty thousand taels from the Inner Hall, why bother telling ?
Besides, wouldn’t it be easier to just give up fifty-eight hundred thousand taels when you make your deposit?
Really, can you be a bit more strategic?
Have a broader vision and think bigger.
Why bother with this trifle matter of twenty thousand taels?”
When Lin Yi heard the little Emperor’s words, it struck a familiar chord; weren’t these the very words he often harped on about?
Too small, the vision was too narrow.
Yet, he never expected that today, these very words would be turned around by the little Emperor and used against him, and he couldn’t help but laugh.
Especially seeing the little Emperor’s extravagant manner, it was even more amusing.
However, the two thousand taels she ntioned was certainly not what he wanted.
Just as the little Emperor had said, if he wanted only twenty thousand taels, he wouldn’t need to ntion it to her at all.
After all, he could easily earn several ten thousand taels of silver just by lifting a finger.
…End of Chapter…
