Opening an office in Taila

Chapter 52 Bullying the King

After killing the last terrorist, Song Yufeng put the knife back.

Old Master Xiao did not take any action, but let Song Yufeng do everything. However, his brows were already furrowed like a knot.

It's weird, too weird. On the way to find the emperor today, they have encountered three waves of terrorist attacks. Although these terrorists are not targeting them, they were present at every terrorist attack. It's too much of a coincidence.

Song Yufeng walked back to Old Man Xiao with an angry look on his face and asked, "What's going on? That emperor first set up a feng shui scheme for my house, and now he's sending terrorists to kill me?"

"Calm down, Song Yufeng. If he wanted to kill you, he wouldn't have waited until now."

At this time, Song Yufeng had indeed lost his composure. There was no way around it. Song Yufeng was very sensitive now. If the emperor really didn't ask about his relationship with Xiao Pi, then his lurking plan would be successful. But if the emperor wanted to kill him, then Song Yufeng would have no choice.

At this tense moment, so many problems have emerged in succession, and anyone would lose their composure.

Song Yufeng took a deep breath, then silently activated the Still Water Ripples until he calmed down.

"Then, who is it?" Song Yufeng asked doubtfully. At this moment, he had no clue. It couldn't be just a coincidence, right? But how could there be so many coincidences in this world?

"Alas, Yan Country, I'm afraid these peaceful days won't last long." Old Master Xiao shook his head.

"Mr. Xiao, what should we do next? Should we go to the Emperor's side?"

"You should make your own judgment."

"If you ask me, we should take the side road. If these terrorists are really coming for us, we can avoid them."

Mr. Xiao affirmed, and then the two began to shuttle back and forth in the alley.

Sure enough, there were no more so-called terrorist attacks afterwards.

This made Song Yufeng even more suspicious that this group of so-called terrorists were targeting them and ambushing them.

Half an hour later, the suspicious Song Yufeng and Old Man Xiao arrived at the gate of the military camp, and then they saw the emperor coming to greet them with a smile on his face.

"You are finally here. I have been waiting for a long time. Come, sit inside."

Song Yufeng suppressed his anger and said, "Your Majesty, do you know what we encountered on the way here?"

"What's the meaning?"

"We encountered three terrorist attacks along the way. Although they weren't directed at us, they undoubtedly affected us. After we stopped taking the main roads and took the smaller roads, we really didn't encounter or hear about any more terrorist attacks. Your Majesty, do you have any clues?"

The emperor frowned, then shouted angrily: "Propagate the imperial edict!"

The scribe next to him immediately took out paper and pen and knelt on the ground to prepare to write.

"From today on, the Imperial Guards will immediately conduct a thorough investigation and throw all criminals and rebels into jail! The Governor of the Imperial Guards will be fully responsible. Even if it means turning the capital upside down, these organizations must be eradicated!"

The scholar would finish writing immediately, and then the manuscript would be handed over to the scholar, who would expand on the rhetoric and draft it, and then it would be handed over to the emperor for review and seal, and then the imperial edict could be passed down.

"I never thought that there would be someone in the capital who dared to be so arrogant. Please rest assured, I will definitely give you an explanation." The emperor said in a very sincere manner.

Song Yufeng nodded, and then he and Old Man Xiao followed the emperor into the military camp. However, his doubts had not yet been alleviated, and the emperor's suspicion could not be ruled out.

"Your Majesty, I have a question to ask." Song Yufeng asked as he walked behind the emperor.

"But it doesn't matter."

"A few days ago, I heard that the little prince had been found. I wonder if he is well now?"

"Hahaha, great, great! I didn't expect that Mr. Song is not only a martial arts expert, but also cares about national affairs. Don't worry, the little prince is in good health and is already learning royal etiquette under the guidance of the palace staff."

Song Yufeng was even more confused. Looking at the emperor's expression, could it be that he really didn't know about his relationship with Xiao Pi?

If he really didn't know, then someone was deceiving the emperor, someone was deliberately hiding this matter, but why?

Song Yufeng couldn't help but become curious. At that time, he killed the imperial guards, the soldiers, and the general who went to look for the little prince. How did the emperor's men report to the emperor?

"But the little prince has never appeared in the public eye." Song Yufeng said.

"This is normal. Now, inside and outside the court, some are happy and some are worried because of the little prince's return. But inside the palace is naturally the safest. Also, the little prince represents the image of the royal family and the future Yan Kingdom. He hasn't learned the etiquette yet, and it would be a disgrace to his image for him to appear in front of the people." The emperor smiled.

It seems that just as Song Yufeng thought, the little prince is only a substitute for the crown prince after all. Once the crown prince recovers, the little prince will no longer be needed. Moreover, Xiao Pi has no foundation in the court and will sooner or later be used as a tool in political struggles.

"However, I have seen the little prince." Song Yufeng said.

"This isn't surprising. The newspapers reported on the day the little prince returned, so it's normal for someone to take photos."

Song Yufeng no longer planned to chat, but planned to trick him again.

"So, it seems that I have a connection with this little prince."

"Oh? That's quite a coincidence. The young prince and the officials didn't mention any friends or relatives. They only told me that his life was very difficult and that he was found in the slums. But how could he have survived on his own? I think the young prince is reluctant to talk about his past with me. I sent people to investigate, but they only found that some people helped him. If Mr. Song really has a history with the young prince, could you tell me about it?"

"Ah, actually it's nothing. The little prince just stayed in my house for a while."

"Ha, it really is fate." The emperor said with a smile.

It is now basically certain that the emperor does not know his relationship with Xiao Pi, and his subordinates have chosen to deceive the emperor, and Xiao Pi has not revealed his relationship with Song Yufeng.

So the question is, who arranged the attack? And who arranged for himself to have such a bad feng shui room?

Song Yufeng vaguely felt that there might be a conspiracy behind this, and he might be about to get involved.

"Let me introduce you two." Just as Song Yufeng was still thinking, an old man who looked to be in his sixties came over. The emperor happily shook the old man's hand and said to Song Yufeng: "This is the current Taifu of Yan State. Taifu, these two are Song Yufeng and Xiao Yichen."

"Greetings, Master Taifu." Song Yufeng and Old Master Xiao saluted.

The Grand Tutor looked very happy and said, "No need to be so polite, you two. It is a great honor for Great Yan that you are now working for Great Yan. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me."

"Thank you, Master Taifu."

"Haha, oh, by the way, Your Majesty, there's new battle reports from Yumen Pass. I'll get them for you now."

"Okay, trouble."

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave." After the Grand Tutor saluted, the moment he passed by Song Yufeng, the Grand Tutor quickly took action and stuffed a note into Song Yufeng's hand.

Song Yufeng felt a little strange, but pretended to be nothing and continued to follow the emperor.

While following behind the emperor, Song Yufeng immediately opened the note and saw that it said: See you at the palace gate at midnight.

What is this for?

Song Yufeng always had a bad feeling, but if he didn't go, he would be targeted in the future.

Well, why not go and take a look at midnight?
