The First Tyrant of Daxia

Qin Yun looked at the woman's face full of hatred and could probably guess what had happened: "So the one who harmed you like this was that Baron Flo?"

"That's right!" The woman nodded vigorously, her eyes full of hatred, "It was this guy who secretly caused us to fall into this situation!"

"It seems that we have a common goal." Qin Yun asked curiously, "I don't even know your name yet."

The woman thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "My name is Michelle."

Qin Yun only then noticed that the people around her were quite complicated, including old people and children, but it seemed that the woman named Michelle was in charge of the situation.

After a casual conversation, Qin Yun didn't ask any more questions and continued to follow Babia.

Soon, a huge capital city appeared in front of them, like a sleeping beast, crawling among the mountains and forests.

"This is the capital of the Ptolemaic dynasty." Michelle whispered.

The overall scope of the Ptolemaic Dynasty was not large. The main city was their kingdom, and the rest were just small border towns, which were far from as prosperous as the capital.

From a distance, you can see people coming in and out of the city gate.

However, Babia did not lead them through the main gate, but instead led them around the city wall to a small door on the side with no one around.

Obviously, this was reserved for privateers like them.

Babia had already sent a message before returning. The people in the city had received the news and opened the small door in advance, so Qin Yun and his party entered the city smoothly.

"Finally I got in. It was such a chore!"

Qin Yun wiped his sweat. They met at least four or five British Empire teams on the way, but after seeing that it was Baria's team, they all dispersed.

It seemed that the British Empire's troops were already accustomed to Babia's troops.

After entering the city, Babia led everyone to a small courtyard.

"We had been looting outside before, and occasionally we would go into the city for supplies. We would stay in this yard, and someone would pass our news to Lord Kasim." Babia explained.

Qin Yun touched his chin and said, "Does this mean that you can only wait for the prince to summon you, and you can't take the initiative to meet the prince?"

"Yes, although our existence is not a secret, there are some things that cannot be brought to the surface." Baria smiled bitterly.

"I understand that people who sit in high positions always care about their own face." Qin Yun nodded. He, as an emperor, was also the same.

There are some things that you can do secretly so that others can know that you did them, but they must never be made public.

It’s nothing, it’s just a matter of face.

Since he knew there wouldn't be any major commotion in the short term, Qin Yun simply asked everyone to rest on the spot and prepare for the next action.

Of course, the only house was given to Qin Yun and his friends, and Baria could only stand guard outside in frustration.

The furnishings in the room were very simple, with only a large bunk bed. Qin Yun sat casually on the edge of the bed. Zhu Rong and the other two stood around Qin Yun with their hands behind their backs.

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?" Liu Wanshi asked in a deep voice, "Should we directly attack the residence of Lord Kasim, or force our way into the palace and do... No, kidnap that damn Ptolemy IV."

Qin Yun looked at him speechlessly: "We are infiltrating. Do you understand what infiltrating means? According to your statement, do we still need to go through so much trouble? Wouldn't it be better for me to directly lead the army to the border?"

Liu Wanshi said awkwardly: "I just thought that we don't have any opponents here..."

"Hehe, there is no rival. The Ptolemaic Dynasty has been able to hold on until now under the heavy pressure from various countries. How can it be a group of people without any capabilities?" Qin Yun rubbed his eyebrows and also felt that it was a bit tricky.

Mu Le stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is only one way to borrow the passage, which is to make Ptolemy IV stand on our side, using coercion or inducement."

"Yes, I understand the truth, but it is difficult to do it."

Qin Yun supported his chin with a thoughtful look on his face.

At this moment, a guard suddenly came in and reported in a hurry: "Your Majesty, we found this."

He presented a token in both hands. The token was dark gold in color and engraved with inexplicable patterns on the surface. It looked dignified and solemn.

"What is this?" Qin Yun weighed the token twice and couldn't understand what was engraved on it, so he asked someone to call Babia in.

"Your Excellency, what can I do for you?"

Babia trotted all the way, fearing that his slowness would cause dissatisfaction among the nobles in the room.

Qin Yun threw the token over: "Look at what this is."

Babia took it, looked down, and suddenly his eyes widened. He exclaimed: "This is the royal token, how come it is here?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yun immediately perked up and looked at the guard who had run in earlier: "Where did this token come from?"

The guard said in a deep voice: "It was Michelle's companion, who fell from that child!"

"Child?" Babia seemed to have thought of something, with a look of fear in his eyes, "Could it be that he..."

"Him? Who are you talking about?" Qin Yun noticed Babia's change and asked anxiously, "Do you know who that kid is?"

"No, that's not it! I don't know either. I just heard that the current king Ptolemy IV has an illegitimate son who is living abroad, but no one knows who he is!"

Hearing this, Qin Yun was instantly certain that the child outside was most likely the illegitimate child.

Ask him why?

Haven’t you seen enough scripts like this about illegitimate children wandering around in foreign lands in your previous life?

"Bring them in, and I'll say there's something wrong with what this woman said before."

Qin Yun frowned and thought carefully, then he immediately understood what the problem was.

"You have been hiding your identity from the beginning to the end, and just used your family to pass it off. Even the prince himself was kept in the city, but you were sent out. I didn't even see the trick just now."

He looked at the woman kneeling in front of him with a cold expression and a sneer on his lips.

"Tell me, Miss Michelle, who are you and the children around you?"

Michelle looked flustered and felt extremely annoyed. He should have hidden the token well, but the little guy was so weak that he fell down when he tried to stand firm.

Facing Qin Yun's questioning, she thought quickly in her mind how to deal with this situation.

However, before she could figure out how to explain, a sharp cold light suddenly fell, and the long knife pierced straight into the ground, shaking slightly.

"Ms. Michelle, if you don't want to lose your head, I hope you won't hide anything."
