C12 Identity

Everyone in the yamen saw the leader of the soldiers kneel down and cry, and they were all stupefied. They could not believe what he had just shouted, but they all followed behind him and knelt down.

The entire hall was completely silent, until Lin Yi turned and sat in the middle of the hall.

"Why have you come here?" Lin Yi asked.

In truth, the leader's head still had the order badge Bao Fusheng took out from his sleeves.

It was a five-clawed dragon medallion. As for the disciples from the nine great clans, the crown prince was a five-clawed dragon, and the vassal lords were four-clawed. This sort of common sense was extremely simple.

Carefully raising his head, he glanced at Lin Yi who had an extraordinary bearing and replied, "Reporting to Your Highness, I am following the orders of the Department of Public Affairs to apprehend the remnants of the Su Family."

After Lin Yi heard this, he sank into deep thought.

The Supreme Court official, Su Shao, was convicted a year ago of colluding with the enemy to sell out the country.

The official who was kneeling on the ground thought that Lin Yi was interested in this matter, so he kneeled and moved forward, wanting to give the portrait of the fugitive to.

He did not expect that, when he was still three meters away from Lin Yi, he would be yelled at and forced to retreat, "Quickly take your people and withdraw from the Wu City, go and capture him."

"Your Highness, this …" [Is the Crown Prince trying to protect someone?]

"What? Your Highness's words are useless in front of you?" Bao Fusheng asked at the right time.

How could the soldiers withstand such threats? Afraid that his life would not be spared, they hastily replied yes and immediately led the group of soldiers out of the yamen, hurrying out of Wu City City.

When Wang He, who was always observing the situation from the back of the yamen, heard this, he felt relieved and immediately rushed to the back courtyard to explain to Su Mu the current situation.

When everyone had retreated, Lin Yi slowly opened up the fan in his hand, his eyes were fixated on the white fan as he muttered to himself for a moment, and then said word by word: "Seems like your brother Su and Brother Wang are truly powerful."

That night, Bao Fusheng went to the backyard to visit Su Mu.

"brother Su, are you feeling better?" Bao Fusheng asked gently.

At this moment, Su Mu had just stood up and used the medicine. It was unknown whether his face had turned red from the medicine or if it was the best medicine. His pale face finally had a hint of redness, and through the candlelight, it added a hint of brilliance.

Su Mu nodded towards Bao Fusheng and took the initiative to ask, "It's much better now. I wonder how the soldiers who were chasing after us are doing?"

"Why did brother Su suddenly ask about this?" Bao Fusheng continued to have an amiable smile on his face.

Su Mu looked at Bao Fusheng with a serious gaze and said sincerely, "Brother Lin, to be honest, these pursuers are here to chase us two brothers."

Although they had discussed it in front of the hall today, Bao Fusheng did not expect Su Mu to be so frank. He could not help but be slightly surprised, "Oh, brother Su, why do you say that?"

"Wang He and I are not real brothers, we just know each other and we became sworn brothers. He was originally the son of Su Shao, a grand official of the capital's original justice courts, and his father was originally Su Shao's distant cousin. We never thought that the Su Family would be the culprit, even the Nine Clans and the two of us would be affected, so we formed a knot and fled, mutually supporting each other. " Su Mu slowly explained.

Bao Fusheng heard and pondered for a moment. He felt that Su Mu's words were strange, but matched up with the truth, which made sense, and comforted him, "Since that's the case, brother Su does not need to worry about it in the future. With Jing Ting and I, we will not let the soldiers casually take you away."

Bao Fusheng reached out to support him, "brother Su doesn't need to be so courteous, it's best if you rest well and recuperate your body."

He turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something, and said, "Jing Ting just told me that you will be staying here for a few more days, until the new county magistrate takes over, and even told brother Su to take care of your health." The last sentence was naturally added by Bao Fusheng himself, but it was indeed Lin Yi who nodded his head and wanted to stay in Wu City for a few more days.

Not long after Bao Fusheng left, Wang He entered the house from next door.

His tall and straight body seemed to be a little tired, and he impatiently asked, "How is it? Did he believe it? "

"How many people can completely believe something so coincidental, it's just finding an excuse to let the two of them protect us as we leave." A faint smile appeared on Su Mu's face. His entire face was covered by the glow of the candle flame. There was an indescribable tenderness and small amount of affection.

Wang He was a little confused, "Then will they still do their best to protect us?"

"I don't know. Just wait."

Inside Lin Yi's room.

Bao Fusheng had just gotten an explanation from Su Mu, so he hastily ran over to discuss the matter with him. "This is what brother Su said, Your Highness thinks that it's true."

"What do you think?" When Bao Fusheng came over, Lin Yi had already finished bathing and changing his clothes. The strands of hair that had been tied up in the daytime were all draped over his shoulders and his angular face was softened.

Hearing that Lin Yi was fighting with him again, became smarter, "This subordinate does not know, I hope that Your Highness can explain." With a humble and studious expression on his face.

Lin Yi opened her phoenix eyes with a smile on her face, "I think you are afraid of getting scolded, and do not dare to say it."

"Then let me tell you, I don't care what brother Su said, whether what he said is true or false. I only care, whether he is useful to me or not."

"What does Your Highness mean?" Bao Fusheng started to become blurry from her words.

Lin Yi sat up straight from the chair, and looked at Bao Fusheng with contempt: "Meaning to say, he has talent and strategy, he is a talent that I need, no matter what he did, as long as it does not affect me, I can take him under my wing, and deal with those old fellows in the imperial court who only eat people or not spit out their bones."

After saying that, Bao Fusheng finally realized something, and a mischievous look flashed past his eyes.

The emperor had said that for Lin Yi, the crown prince, to roam the world, not only was it to broaden his horizons, it was also to prevent serious political conflicts in the imperial court from harming Lin Yi. It was not because the emperor indulged his son. He was just afraid that some scheming and scheming people would covet the benefits of this situation.

In a great dynasty, the only thing that could cause it to collapse was never the chaos and riots in the outside world. Instead, it was its internal tangled roots. Once it broke out from the roots, it would automatically perish without any external help.

Therefore, Lin Yi's other goal while travelling was to recruit wise and talented warriors to build a roots of his own to replace those old fellows who were almost rotten to the brim. However, it was extremely rare to move flowers and trees, so he needed the help of someone who was resourceful enough to do it well.

Su Mu was the only person that Lin Yi had set his eyes on who possessed outstanding talent, after looking for him for so many places.

Thus, ever since Lin Yi had promised to protect him, she had not worried about his past anymore.

The morning sun of the Wu City had already risen from the east, but there was still a place above the land of the Heaven's Expanse Palace where the sunlight could not reach, waiting for the arrival of the Savior.
