C442 The Howling Wind Sword
Furthermore, after Grand Tutor Lin left, dozens of top assassins immediately took action. Their killing intent swept across the entire capital. After an hour, all the officials who appeared on the list died a violent death, shaking the entire imperial tomb!
After all, there were more than twenty lives in the imperial court, but they were all killed within two hours. Instantly, the entire imperial mausoleum was in a state of panic. Rumors kept spreading. At this moment, the officials in the court could not sit still any longer. Because they did not know if the killers' next target would be them. The shadow of death was constantly shrouding them. Stimulated by fear, they began to spontaneously gather in one place.
"Let us in, we request to see the Emperor!"
"Quickly let me go, I have something important to report!"
. . .
Outside the Cosmos Hall, nearly a hundred officials were desperately trying to break into the hall. However, Mu Yan had expected this to happen. He had sent hundreds of guards to guard this place in advance. The ground stopped them.
"Martial King, we came here because we have something to report to the Emperor. Why did you stop us? Can you bear the responsibility of delaying a major event?!"
Seeing that Mu Yan was unwilling to let them go, the Ministry of Rites Minister Liu Wenn waved his sleeve angrily and shouted at him. As soon as these words were spoken, the rest of the officials glared at Mu Yan.
"Huh, why are you stopping us?" Mu Yan sneered and said to these people. "Didn't I already tell you? Royal Father had been feeling unwell recently and needed to rest for a period of time. He had ordered Mu Yan to wait here and not allow anyone to disturb him. So, everyone, please return. "
" Go back? That won't do. We came specially for the memorial, so how can we go back just like that?" Liu Wenn and the others shook their heads when they heard that.
Mu Yan said faintly, "If that's the case, if you really have something urgent to tell Mu Yan, you might as well tell him first. Later, Mu Yan will pass the message to Royal Father. "
"Tell him to listen to you?" Unexpectedly, Liu Wenn snorted coldly and said, "Forgive me for being blunt, but Martial Prince doesn't seem to have the qualification yet, right?"
Mu Yan's eyelids twitched a few times, but he forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and asked with a cold smile, "Sir Liu, what exactly do you want?"
Liu Wenn straightened his body and faced his gaze fearlessly. "The matter of the memorial is urgent and urgent. I must inform the Emperor in person!"
Hearing this, Mu Yan's eyes turned completely cold. "Sir Liu, during the resting period, no one will be seen. This is Royal Father's decree. Could it be that you want to defy the decree?"
Liu Wenn suddenly became serious and said, "I do not have any intention of disobeying the Emperor. It is just that I am not sure if the Emperor is really unwilling to meet anyone. Just based on Martial Prince's words alone, I am afraid that it is not enough to convince the public, right?"
However, the one who answered him was Mu Yan who gave a cold snort. He heard a "Clang" sound as if a sword had been unsheathed. Sand suddenly filled the sky and the wind blew. The officials immediately pulled on the black muslin and covered their faces with their clothes. It was very embarrassing. When the dust dispersed, they saw Mu Yan standing on the stone steps with a long sword in his hand. His expression was indifferent and his hair was sharp. He was as mighty as a god.
"That. . . Isn't that the sword of the Emperor, Howling Wind!"
There were sharp-eyed people among the officials who recognized the sword in Mu Yan's hand at a glance. It was the Howling Wind Sword that Emperor Yaen usually did not leave his body. It was said that Emperor Yaen's love for this sword had reached a level where he was obsessed with it and did not even allow anyone to touch it. How did it end up in the hands of a Martial King?
Just as he was feeling puzzled, he heard Mu Yan's cold and emotionless voice. "I was afraid that some people would not listen to my advice, and Royal Father purposely gave this Howling Wind Sword to me. As for those people who refuse to change their ways of teaching, I can naturally kill them first and report to them later. Now, I am afraid that some people will not listen to my advice. Who else wouldn't accept it? Just stand out and try!"
As soon as these words were spoken, The ministers no longer flocked forward, Instead, they took a few steps back as if they had been electrocuted. There was an indescribable fear on their faces.
Mu Yan withdrew his gaze in satisfaction when he saw this. Immediately, he looked at Liu Wenn provocatively and said, "Sir Liu, do you think I am qualified now?"
Liu Wenn's expression became extremely ugly. He never thought that the Emperor would be so fond of a Martial King. To actually pass the Howling Wind Sword that never left his body to him, he could not help but lightly sigh. Compromising, he said, "Reporting to Martial Prince, this old official just received the news. Something big happened in Di Ling City today. Within a short two hours. . . More than twenty officials of the court were killed, causing a storm in Di Ling City. Everyone was in danger. If they allowed the situation to continue to worsen. . . The hearts of the people in the city would inevitably scatter, so this old official begged Martial Prince to send people to arrest the murderer as soon as possible. Stabilize the hearts of the people and seek justice for those comrades who died in vain! "
As soon as these words were spoken, the other ministers also echoed, "We sincerely request the Martial King to give the order to arrest the murderer!"
"So it's because of this matter. " Hearing this, Mu Yan withdrew his long sword and guaranteed to everyone, "Everyone, rest assured. I have heard about this a long time ago, and I have already sent hundreds of royal elites to investigate it. I believe there will be a result soon. After all, those who died tragically were the meritorious officials of Yaen Kingdom. Now that something has happened to them, how can the imperial family stand idly by?! "
When they heard that Mu Yan had started the investigation, all the ministers were overwhelmed by the favor and said: "Martial Prince is reasonable and decisive. This is the blessing of Yaen Kingdom, and the fortune of us subjects!"
"Alright, since there is nothing else, everyone should leave for now. Otherwise, if we disturb Royal Father later and blame him, it will be hard for me to explain. "
Mu Yan nodded with a smile and said faintly.
Since everyone could climb to their seats today, they naturally weren't fools. When they heard that Mu Yan had given the order to leave, they naturally didn't want to stay any longer. They all cupped their hands and said: "Martial Prince, we will take our leave!"
Only Minister of Rites, Liu Wenn, did not move. Seeing that everyone had dispersed, he respectfully asked, "May I ask Martial Prince, how is the Emperor's condition now? How long will he need to rest before he can continue attending the court hearing?"
Mu Yan replied with a smile. "Thank you for your concern, Sir Liu. Royal Father is fine now. I believe he will recover in a few days. "
"That's good. " Liu Wenn said happily, then cupped his hands at Mu Yan and said. "Then this old official will take his leave now!"
Mu Yan smiled as he watched him leave. Only when his figure disappeared at the end of the corridor did he put away his smile and ordered, "Follow him and see where he will go next. Then immediately come back and report to me. Remember, keep a low profile and don't let anyone discover you. "
"We understand!"
The two guards replied, "Yes. " Immediately, they carefully chased after him.
After staring blankly at the sword in his hand for a while, Mu Yan resolutely stepped back into the hall. As for Emperor Yaen, he wasn't in the hall at all, because his corpse had been secretly buried by Mu Yan three days ago. All of this was naturally a trick that Mu Yan had carefully fabricated.
