Transmigrated into a seven-year-old child, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens.

When the emperor came out, he rode a horse, thinking that it was a rare opportunity to go out, and it was also the New Year.

With so many novelties on display on the street, he had to take his time to explore. Besides, the governor's mansion wasn't far from the shops, so the group ultimately decided to walk.

In fact, apart from Afu and Zhaodi, everyone knew that someone was following them. Zhaolian found out not long after they left.

She took a closer look and saw that there were ten people in total. These people were dressed in ordinary clothes and looked no different from ordinary farmers.

He's easily overlooked in a crowd, but he's a trained fighter after all; his eyesight is different from that of an ordinary person.

As fellow martial artists, Zhao Lian recognized him at a glance.

Zhao Lian lowered her voice: "Big brother, who do you think is following us?"

Song Wenjie said with a solemn expression, "No matter who he is, let's wait and see. In any case, we must protect the Emperor."

Although he didn't know who it was, he was certain that it was either aimed at him or the Emperor.

Dark Night and Darkness exchanged a glance, then flanked the Emperor on either side.

Seeing their tense expressions, the Emperor smiled and said calmly, "Don't be so nervous, maybe they're not here for us."

It's the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the streets are bustling with people, with all sorts of stalls lining both sides.

There was food, toys, and a dazzling array of trinkets for sale, making it hard to choose what to buy.

There were some novel items that the emperor had never seen before, so he went over and picked them up to take a look.

The stall owner greeted him warmly, "Sir, do you like it? If you do, I'll give you a discount."

Seeing that there were many people here, and those people were getting closer and closer, if a fight really broke out here, innocent people would definitely be harmed.

Song Wenjie whispered a few words to Zhao Lian, and the two of them came to the Emperor's side one on the left and one on the right: "Your Majesty, we'll take you to a place where the things there are even more exotic."

Upon hearing this, the emperor quickly put down what he was holding.

The stall owner panicked when he saw this: "Hey~ don't go! I'll sell it to you cheaper."

Wu Hai originally intended to take advantage of the large number of people to make his move, but unexpectedly, Song Wenjie and his group suddenly turned around and walked into the alley next to them.

Wu Hai cursed under his breath, "Damn it, I didn't expect this kid to be so shrewd!"

He knew that Song Wenjie and his group must have known that someone was following them and were trying to shake him off.

One of them couldn't hold back any longer and quickly stepped forward to ask, "Young Master, what should we do? Should we continue?"

Wu Hai gritted his teeth: "Follow! This is a golden opportunity, we can't let them slip away."

He had just realized that the other person's identity was definitely not simple. Song Wenjie seemed particularly nervous, always consciously or unconsciously protecting that person.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Wu Hai's mind: "Could that be the current emperor?"

This idea suddenly excited him.

If that person is indeed the current emperor, and he doesn't have many people with him at the moment, it would be the perfect time to eliminate him.

My father is probably still in Dali Temple prison right now, so we can't let the emperor live so comfortably.

Since killing one or two is the same thing, it's better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.

But to their surprise, in the blink of an eye, when they arrived at the alley, they found that Song Wenjie and the others were nowhere to be seen.

"Where did it go? That's strange!" Wu Hai turned around twice.

"Hahahaha~"

A burst of laughter rang out from above: "I've seen people this stupid, but I've never seen anyone this stupid! You guys actually managed to lose track of someone!"

It turned out that Zhao Lian and Song Wenjie were standing on the wall above the alley, looking down at them.

"Who are you? Why are you following us?" Song Wenjie asked coldly.

“Who’s following you? This road doesn’t belong to you.” Wu Hai denied it outright.

"Is that so? It seems you're not telling the truth." Song Wenjie sneered, drew his knife, and leaped down from above the alley.

Seeing Song Wenjie bring his knife down towards his head, Wu Hai raised his knife to block without thinking.

When the other men saw that the attack had started, they immediately became alarmed and drew their knives, surrounding Song Wenjie.

Seeing that Song Wenjie and his men had made their move, Zhao Lian quickly flew down as well. A flurry of swordplay ensued, and the men were shocked to discover that this unassuming girl was actually quite skilled. The more they fought, the more flustered they became.

"Ah~"

Ouch~

Screams rang out, and with a few soft thuds, several men fell to the ground, stabbed by knives.

The other men were terrified at the sight. Wu Hai was no match for Song Wenjie and was forced to retreat repeatedly, unable to fight back at all.

Seizing the opportunity, Song Wenjie swiftly slashed Wu Hai's hand and then disarmed him.

With a clang, the knife fell to the ground. Wu Hai clutched his arm in pain, blood flowing from his palm.

I never imagined that after practicing so hard for so long, I would still be defeated by him.

"Come on!"

Wu Hai called to the other men to try to escape, only to find it was too late. The alley was blocked at both ends by darkness and night, and they were closing in on them.

The man in the brocade blue robe watched the scene unfold coldly from behind.

Wu Hai was now afraid. Looking at the two men's sinister eyes, he could tell that they were ruthless and not to be trifled with.

"Big brother, big brother, is there some misunderstanding between us?" Wu Hai's eyes darted around, and he pretended to be confused.

"Tell me, who exactly are you people? If you tell the truth, I might consider letting you go." Song Wenjie pointed his knife at Wu Hai.

Wu Hai's eyes darted around: "Brother, we've mistaken you for someone else, we've mistaken you for someone else~"

"Haha~"

The Emperor stared at Wu Hai and suddenly laughed: "What? You dare to do it but not to admit it? You're far inferior to your father in this respect."

"I don't know what you're talking about," Wu Hai denied vehemently.

The Emperor glanced at him: "Still won't admit it. If I'm not mistaken, you must be Wu Jingang's son."

"I'd heard long ago that he had an illegitimate child. But I just hadn't been able to find him."

"I never expected you to come to me like this today. It's like finding a needle in a haystack!"

"Hahaha~"

The Emperor laughed happily. He understood the principle that "if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring breeze."

She had been worried about how to find him, but he came to her door on his own initiative, so she couldn't miss this opportunity.

Let's seize this opportunity and arrest him to prevent future troubles.

Wu Hai was stunned: "Could it be that you really are the Emperor?"

"What do you say?"

"Dark night, dark night~ Tie them up!"

"As ordered!"

Ah Fu and Zhao Di watched in disbelief. They had just planned to have a happy shopping trip, but who knew they would encounter such a thing.
