Chapter 589: Chapter 573: Young folks, slow down your dressing (Additional 1)
This seemingly cold-blooded regulation is actually in place to protect the Emperor’s safety to the greatest extent.
You should know, nowadays this handgun is the unmatched magical weapon against the old eunuch.
After arranging everything in the Imperial Study Room, Lin Yi then set off towards Qiankun Palace in a sedan chair.
Of course, there are still many secrets in Qiankun Palace that have yet to be unraveled, and naturally, Judge Zhong could not be left behind.
Before the old eunuch had people send fake letters, Lin Yi had already secretly sent people to bring over Judge Zhong.
Seeing Lin Yi leaving the Imperial Study Room, the old eunuch in the dark felt restless and ready to act.
However, since the Sixth Prince, who received the Holy Decree, was ticulously inspecting every corner of the Imperial Palace, and everyone walking around the palace was always holding files to check departnt information.
Once soone was found to not match, they were imdiately detained.
In less than half an hour, the Sixth Prince had made a significant achievent by detaining over 30 individuals with unknown identities.
This really frustrated the old eunuch.
‘Damn Sixth Prince, can’t you be a little confused at the critical mont? If the Eighth Prince was recorded, as brothers born of the sa mother, wouldn’t he treat you well?’
The entire Imperial Palace was perated with a silent smoke of gunpowder, and those 30 detained suspicious individuals had a consistent story.
All claid they were remnants of the previous dynasty’s rebels, wanting to restore their regi.
Looking over at the Fourth Prince’s side, Lin Yi had arranged a note hinting him to pacify the officials obediently.
Moreover, Lin Yi had specifically arranged another sentence, pledging loyalty to the court can ensure prosperity and glory for generations.
Seeing no hope in ambushing the Imperial Study Room, the old eunuch could only pin his hopes in Qiankun Palace.
As long as Lin Yi falls, the young Emperor wouldn’t last a day.
At that ti, just starting a fire in the Imperial Study Room would permanently eliminate any future troubles.
Looking back at the front of Qiankun Palace.
Lin Yi was holding a thick bag waiting at the doorway.
It wasn’t long after that Judge Zhong got off from the Fourth Prince’s sedan. This was all deliberately arranged by Lin Yi.
Only in this way, could the safety of Judge Zhong be ensured.
‘Hehe, old eunuch, watch how I infuriate you to death!’
Sure enough, the old eunuch hiding in a small woodshed opposite Qiankun Palace, saw Judge Zhong stepping down from the sedan and his face turned green with anger.
“It’s unbelievable, that old geezer actually dared to fool ! Humph!”
The old eunuch, enraged, smashed the cup in his hand and imdiately gave orders.
“That Zhong surna kid was lucky yesterday, escaping from King Yan’s hands, today, by whatever ans necessary, you must send him to et King Yan!”
Actually, Judge Zhong’s role in hindering the entire event wasn’t significant, and at the beginning, he wasn’t even placed on the assassination list by the old eunuch.
Yet his appearances repeatedly disrupted the old eunuch’s plans.
Adding to the frustration was that, despite arranging a deadly poisoned al for him, he still managed to escape.
If Judge Zhong had been a highly skilled martial artist, escaping such a fate could be understood.
But he is rely an ordinary man with no special skills, isn’t this challenging the authority of the old eunuch?
Death, he must die, only then can the old eunuch’s heartache be soothed.
Yet facing this trap, Lin Yi had already prepared thoroughly.
“All of you wait outside, do not enter without my order.”
“Little Zhong, let’s go in.”
Lin Yi took Judge Zhong into Qiankun Palace and then shut the door behind them.
Then, he forcefully stomped on the floor, but the voice-controlled lights had no response at all.
“Oh no, I almost forgot, the devices here have been tampered with by the old man.”
Despite it being morning and bright outside.
Once the doors of the grand Qiankun Palace were shut, only a faint light filtering through the windows allowed one to barely discern the furnishings inside.
Suddenly there was a loud clang, followed by echoes repeated three or four tis.
He ca out anyway.
Lin Yi’s sixth sense told him that danger was approaching.
“Little Zhong, quickly put on your bullet-proof suit and helt!”
Lin Yi said this as he quickly ard himself from head to toe.
Before coming here, Lin Yi already knew this was a trap; as soon as he entered, myriad dangers awaited him.
‘I must survive this ti; my three children haven’t been born yet, they can’t beco orphans.’
[Beep, beep, beep, host successfully purchased 20 high-wattage lamps, one super pressure-resistant small drone, paid 200,000 Heavenly Bead Coins.]
Gongsun Mo, watching them from the shadows, silently observed Lin Yi and Judge Zhong fumbling as they put on their bullet-proof suits, finding it quite laughable.
When Lin Yi put on his bullet-proof helt, a sinister voice suddenly ca from above.
“Young n, take your ti dressing.”
“This is the last ti you’re dressing in the mortal world, we’ll soon take you to et the King Yan, and you will need to be properly attired.”
“Ha ha ha.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi and Judge Zhong broke out into a cold sweat.
They had thought this old man was mute; unexpectedly, he spoke.
Even more deadly, from the tone of the old man, it was clear he was intent on taking their lives today.
“Senior!”
Lin Yi cried out, and the next second, all 20 high-power lights lit up.
The entire Qiankun Palace was suddenly illuminated.
Lin Yi, confident that his bullet-proof gear was perfectly prepared, began to confront the old man.
Looking in the direction of the old man’s voice, under the bright light, Lin Yi could clearly see the old man sitting on the circular room’s beams.
Lin Yi took out his binoculars but couldn’t see the old man’s feet.
“Senior, where are your feet?”
Lin Yi was shocked; the old man, lacking feet, could still climb so high.
Gongsun Mo coldly chuckled.
“Both of your nas have been chosen by King Yan, and you still have ti to look at my feet, utterly foolish.”
Gongsun Mo was certain that once he took action, Lin Yi and Judge Zhong would definitely be dead.
But he had been in there for over ten years, apart from last night when the old eunuch ca and spoke to him briefly, no other living person had talked to him.
Now having two lambs fall into his lap, who could talk with him, Gongsun Mo decided to have so fun with them before sending them off, to compensate for the loneliness of the past decade.
Seeing that the old man didn’t imdiately kill, Lin Yi tentatively asked.
“Senior, we have no grievances; why do you want to kill us today?”
Gongsun Mo let out another cold chuckle.
“I don’t need a reason to take your lives.”
“Bla yourselves for following the wrong master.”
Following the wrong master?
Lin Yi suddenly turned back, was his master the Little Emperor?
Could it be that this old man was also among those plotting a coup?
Lin Yi feigned panic and asked: “Senior, are you partnering with the old eunuch, aiming to kill His Majesty?”
Faced with Lin Yi’s incessant questions, Gongsun Mo was now visibly impatient and snapped: “Enough with ‘Senior’; if I want your deaths to be clear, call Gongsun Mo.”
“Whether I want to kill the Little Emperor or not is none of your business, but since you have co here today, I intend to take your lives.”
