"This punch was over a year overdue; I just couldn't hold back anymore!"
Watching Zhao Hu fly away, Lin Yi calmly withdrew his fist; he had wanted to throw that punch for a long time.
ah?
Upon hearing this, Zhang Long, who was about to rush forward to seek revenge, stopped abruptly and stared at Lin Yi in shock. Why did this person's voice sound so familiar?
emperor!
That's the Emperor's voice! How is that possible? The person in front of me is clearly not the Emperor.
But he was absolutely certain he hadn't misheard the voice. After all, he had served the Emperor for so many years, and there was no way he could have mistaken it. There was only one possibility: the Emperor was in disguise.
He couldn't help but glance at the Xuan Niao guarding the other party, and his heart skipped a beat.
Although the other woman was dressed as a maid, the sharpness in her eyes was unmistakable. This woman had definitely killed people, and quite a few at that! Therefore, she was very likely a member of the Net organization.
Thinking of this, Zhang Long suddenly couldn't stand up straight.
He withdrew his fist and tentatively asked in a low voice, "What do you mean? Why did you hit my brother? Do you have some kind of grudge?"
"Hmph, so what if I hit you? You're so shameless, daring to be so sleazy. Don't you know this is under the Emperor's nose?" Lin Yi gave him a meaningful look and said quietly.
These two guys are behaving like thugs; it's no honor for the emperor.
The key issue is that they came out to watch the spectacle, yet they didn't even address me, the Emperor. This is utterly disrespectful and deserves a reprimand.
Holy crap!
Upon seeing that familiar gaze, Zhang Long's face turned pale.
Those terrifying glints in their eyes—it could only be the Emperor. My brother and I are so unlucky! We only said a few careless words, and the Emperor has already set his sights on us.
He said sheepishly, "Oh, I see. We misspoke. We were just too curious about the people of the Xinma Empire, which is why we spoke without thinking. I'm so sorry, everyone!"
"You!!!" Zhao Hu rushed over, ready to get revenge, but Zhang Long slapped him across the face.
Zhang Long grabbed Zhao Hu and whispered in his ear, "Shut the hell up! This is the Emperor. Do you want to get beaten up again when we get back?"
"Emperor?"
Zhao Hu glanced at Lin Yi, and upon seeing that familiar look in his eyes, his legs went weak.
He didn't care about getting back at Lin Yi anymore, so he quickly withdrew his hand and slunk away under Lin Yi's murderous gaze.
The surrounding people were stunned for a moment when they saw this, but then they immediately cheered and applauded.
"Wow, this young master is absolutely amazing."
"These two lads act like they've never seen a woman before; they're a Great Liang. They should have been kicked out long ago."
In their view, while it's true that men are naturally masculine, one should still have some manners. To judge women like that is simply uncivilized.
Compared to the despicable Zhang Long Zhao Hu, Lin Yi became the hero who bravely stopped the despicable behavior and upheld the image of Great Liang to the outside world. That's what a true hero is.
"This..."
Compared to the cheers of the people, Li Yifeng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, even doubting his own eyes.
He knew Zhang Long Zhao Hu; these two were close to the Emperor, people who were not ordinary.
It's rather strange that they've actually been scared away.
He was filled with doubt and muttered to himself, "What's going on? These two are known for their powerful connections and strong opinions, how come they were scared away by a young master?"
He subconsciously sized up Lin Yi. Although this man was quite handsome, he shouldn't be so bad-looking as to scare people away. Could it be that this person had an even stronger backing?
Hahaha!
Faced with the people's flattery, Lin Yi's smile widened. He said solemnly, "This is what I should do. Our Great Liang has great respect for women, and the Emperor has even enacted laws to ensure that women's rights are not violated."
"How can I tolerate their reckless behavior, which violates the Emperor's laws and tramples on a woman's dignity?"
hero!
The common people were filled with admiration, not only for the man's heroic deeds, but also for the emperor's kindness towards women.
Long live the Emperor!
Many women couldn't help but cheer, expressing their approval of the policy. At that moment, they were filled with admiration for this young man; he was truly a hero.
Why!
Lin Yi was somewhat amused and exasperated. He had only come to see this new guest, but he hadn't expected to receive such hero-like treatment. It was truly an unexpected coincidence.
After giving him a few perfunctory replies, he simply ran to the side.
If you want to know more information now, you should undoubtedly go to the Court of Diplomatic Reception, where you will surely find more information.
Just as they were about to enter the Court of Diplomatic Reception, several people from the Xinma Empire slowly walked over, each accompanied by a member of the Court of Diplomatic Reception.
The leader of the group started chattering away, while the Court of Diplomatic Reception behind him whispered, "He said he's thanking you for chasing away the pervert for the women of Xinma, so you're their good friend now."
"Huh?"
Upon hearing their words, a glint of light flashed in Lin Yi's eyes.
This so-called Xinma Empire actually speaks a Western language, which is quite interesting. If these people aren't actually from the Moses Empire in disguise, then the origins of this Xinma Empire are worth investigating.
There's a secret here.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi's face immediately lit up with a smile, and he said warmly, "Friend from afar, you're too kind. This is what a righteous person should do; after all, it's immoral to comment on a lady like that!"
"Immoral?"
After hearing the translator's explanation, the leader of the Xinma Empire shook his head and said with a wry smile, "In the Xinma Empire, this is not just an immoral thing, it is a crime."
In serious cases, it could even lead to a death sentence!
His eyes were filled with anger, and the people behind him also looked furious; clearly, they were very wary of this kind of thing.
"Death penalty?"
Lin Yi was completely dumbfounded. It turned out that he had actually saved Zhang Long Zhao Hu after all; otherwise, those two guys would probably have been beaten to death by the people from the Xinma Empire.
But this is too strange. To be sentenced to death for saying a few witty remarks is really too outrageous and unbelievable.
That doesn't make sense!
Seemingly noticing Lin Yi's confusion, the other party offered an explanation, smiling and saying, "The reason is actually quite simple. Because our Xinma Empire is ruled by a queen, offending a woman is a very serious matter."
