" Jiumosong "?
Upon hearing Wang Yue's words, Lin Yi was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled.
This Jiumosong is truly audacious! He actually dared to try to assassinate the emperor himself. With so few men under his command, what was he thinking?
This is completely overestimating one's own abilities; it's like throwing an egg against a rock.
The Great Liang Imperial Palace was equipped with elites from the Net, Hundred Riders, and Divine Machine Battalion, as well as Zhao Gao's eunuch guards and Lü Qiling's female soldiers, the Phoenix Guard. Combined with the weapons provided by the Heavenly Craft Workshop, it was no less than the configuration of a military fortress.
Even a regular army, without at least 100,000 troops, would likely be utterly defeated, let alone a few small assassins.
This Jiumosong has some flaws.
Wang Yue nodded and explained, " Jiumosong must have learned of the fall of Daxin Pass, so he probably wants to fight to the death."
According to the Net intelligence, they are planning to assassinate Princess Anne and Ashley, a minister of the Frostwest Empire, in order to break the peace between the two countries!
The people of Net have been keeping a close eye on all the various delegations, and their every move is under control.
They noticed something was wrong as soon as Jiumosong a move, and naturally didn't dare to delay, so they reported it immediately.
This involves news from multiple countries, and it's no small matter.
"Assassinate Princess Anne?"
Upon hearing this, a strange glint flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh, "What a pitiful princess. Not only was she used as a tool for a political marriage by her own father, but now she's also being assassinated."
This is absolutely tragic, comparable to the tragic heroines in those palace dramas.
If things continue like this, Princess Anne might turn to the dark side, and perhaps she'll become a dark, edgy Western princess.
Put yourself in their shoes; if you were treated like that, you'd want to take revenge on society in no time.
These people deserve to die!
Zhao Gao's face was gloomy; he was very angry, and his whole demeanor exuded a murderous aura.
This is the capital of Great Liang! For them to attempt an assassination is a clear sign that they don't take us seriously. This is absolutely unacceptable.
A subject should die for his sovereign; the imperial palace cannot have such a powerful person besides His Majesty.
He stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, how about I send someone to wipe them out, so they'll know what it means to be subject to the wrath of Heaven?"
Seeing how protective he was of his master, Lin Yi nodded silently. At least Zhao Gao was quite enthusiastic about helping to kill people.
However, having the Imperial Guard handle this matter would be too personal and not in line with the principle of Win People Over with Virtue, so he rejected the idea.
They must be killed, but the Imperial Guards must not be allowed to do it!
He glanced at Wang Yue and said in a deep voice, "When will they make their move? Time is so tight, they should be able to act quickly."
"Tonight!"
It was indeed very urgent!
Lin Yi glanced at the two men and said in a deep voice, "Send Zhao Yun's Hundred Riders to them. The enemy harbors malicious intentions. I will kill them openly and fairly, and I will kill them until everyone is convinced of their guilt!"
However, remind Zhao Yun to capture them all after they have carried out their assassination attempt!
"After the assassination?"
Wang Yue and Zhao Gao were both stunned, completely bewildered; this action was rather strange.
Knowing full well that the other party intended to assassinate and cause trouble, the Emperor didn't stop them from doing so; instead, he ordered them to kill the target. What was going on?
However, Zhao Gao quickly realized that the emperor had his eye on the Frostwest Empire because it had previously attempted to join forces with Zhennan Frostwest Empire attack Great Liang.
Let the people of Zhennan stab them a few times, and incidentally give the Frostwest Empire a good beating.
As for Ashley's life or death, the Emperor didn't care at all. After all, Ashley was just a subject of the Frostwest Empire, and whether he lived or died wouldn't affect the overall situation.
Realizing what was happening, he dared not delay and said in a deep voice, "This servant will make the arrangements immediately!"
He needed to hurry and give Zhao Yun some instructions, and also convey the Emperor's thoughts, so that things could be done well.
"Your Majesty, what about Princess Anne?"
Wang Yue frowned slightly. If they allowed the assassin to carry out the assassination, Princess Anne would also be a target. Did they intend to let the assassin in?
Lin Yi glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "The royal palace is a place of great importance, and we will not allow them to come and cause damage. Send someone to keep an eye on them."
"If the other party takes even the slightest step, they will be killed without mercy!"
The imperial palace is a place of Great Liang and authority, so it's impossible to allow assassins to roam freely inside; killing them is the more reliable course of action.
I can tolerate them causing trouble, but I absolutely will not allow them to deviate from my rules, or they will be punished.
"Understood!"
Wang Yue instantly understood, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The Emperor ordered the execution of the assassins who broke into the palace; this was clearly to protect Princess Anne. Princess Anne has indeed met a benefactor.
With the Emperor's words, she was already perfectly safe.
At this moment, Lin Yi remembered something and frowned, saying, "By the way, Wang Yue, did you find out the source of the Frostwest Empire's intelligence? How did they get there so quickly?"
This is a problem; if the other party has something good, we have to borrow it and use it.
"Your Majesty, the Net (a secret police organization) has investigated this matter, and the most likely explanation is an Old Eagle, which Ashley's men tamed for it."
It's said that this Old Eagle can catch hares and bring them back to Ashley; I think it could also be used to deliver messages.
Wang Yue frowned.
" Old Eagle?"
Lin Yi frowned slightly. Old Eagle are incredibly fast, but whether they have the endurance for long-distance flight is something that hasn't been studied.
However, Lin Yi was somewhat annoyed that his country, Great Liang, used a little Blue Pigeon, while theirs used an Old Eagle. He thought, "Why is such a soft country so hardcore?"
Wang Yue, being the man he was, knew from Lin Yi's frown that his emperor had given up hope. He whispered, "Your Majesty, I've heard that Old Eagle can soothe the spirit. Shall I catch one for you to make soup?"
puff!
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "You underestimate my magnanimity. How could I possibly take my anger out on a beast?"
Send someone to borrow that Old Eagle. I have always Win People Over with Virtue; this time, I'll test whether I can subdue this Old Eagle.
These creatures are very valuable. If we could tame a batch of them, our intelligence system would be significantly improved. Old Eagle have far fewer natural enemies than pigeons.
Pigeons might be attacked, but there are very few birds that can attack Old Eagle.
"Borrow?"
At first, Wang Yue actually believed the emperor's words, but the second sentence made him realize that all the talk about Win People Over with Virtue was nonsense; this was an attempt to seize power for himself.
He nodded and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, rest assured, this Old Eagle does not have any identification from the Frostwest Empire. It is an illegal intruder, and I will capture it for you immediately!"
After saying that, he turned and left to catch the trespassing Old Eagle.
"Unauthorized intrusion?"
Watching his retreating figure, Lin Yi couldn't help but twitch his lips and exclaim, "As expected of the person who's been with me the longest, Wang Yue has already grasped the essence!"
"It's not that the Old Eagle flies slowly; the enemy is simply too cunning."
Wang Yue found such a good reason; he's definitely a genius. It's just a pity that the Old Eagle was wronged.
It probably never dreamed that it would need proof of identity!
