C592 Nie Xiong Escaped and Returned to His Original Position
He turned around and saw the assassin, Prince Qu, standing not far behind him, looking at him with a cold smile on his face. Besides the deputy general, there were two other people standing beside him. In his mind, they should be the two helpers of Yunxuan.
"Everyone is here. It seems like I won't be able to escape this time. But don't be complacent. It won't be that easy to kill me. " Nie Xiong looked around. There were city walls on one side and pursuers on the other. He was in a very bad situation, but it wasn't as if he didn't have a chance to escape.
Thinking about this, he threw the bow and arrow at Prince Qu and the rest. He turned around and stretched out his hand to grab the Emperor. Seeing this, the Emperor hurriedly turned around and wanted to go to Yunxuan's side. As for Yunxuan, when he saw that it was not good, he stepped on the stirrups and jumped up and attacked Nie Xiong.
But he never thought that Nie Xiong's move would be a feint. He changed direction midway and escaped towards the palace entrance. Now, there was only one way left. Before he left, he did not forget to throw a Thunderbolt Fireball.
The Thunderbolt Bomb fell, and with a "hong" sound, white smoke rose. In an instant, this place was covered by white smoke, making it impossible to tell which direction and person it was. Yunxuan quickly came in front of the Emperor to protect the Emperor while Prince Qu and the rest saw the direction where Nie Xiong fled. They quickly chased after him but there was still no white smoke. They heard the sound of arrows piercing through the air. They quickly raised the weapons in their hands. Following the direction of the sound, they blocked the arrows' attacks and quickly retreated.
By the time the white smoke dispersed, Nie Xiong was already nowhere to be seen.
"Damn it, he ran away again. This Nie Xiong was like a loach. He is very slippery. He can always slip away. Go and give the order to immediately lock down the four gates. Inspect all the people who passed by. We must not let these two Master from the World's Tyrant Manor escape. " Looking at Nie Xiong who had disappeared without a trace, Prince Qu was so angry that he ordered the deputy general to immediately seal the city gates.
"Yes, this subordinate will do it now. " After saying that, the deputy general cupped his hands and left.
"Haha, Mr Qu, don't be angry. Perhaps this is not the time yet. Killing him today is secondary. The most important thing is that we must ensure that the Emperor can safely return to the Imperial Palace. Let's go, let's send the Emperor back to the Palace together. " Yunxuan smiled and said when he saw Prince Qu's angry look.
At this moment, many people came from afar. They fixed their eyes on Tianyu and the others.
"I, Lee Tianyu, saved you and came late. Please forgive me, Emperor. " When they came closer, Tianyu led the crowd and knelt down to the ground as he spoke.
"Haha, no worries. Hurry up and get up. I have nothing to do right now. Let's talk after we return to the palace. " Seeing the arrival of Tianyu and the rest, the Emperor had already confirmed that he was not in any danger. Thus, there was nothing that could replace that joy. Naturally, he would not be unhappy that Tianyu came late.
"Tianyu greets the Master. " After getting up, Tianyu came to Yunxuan and cupped his hands as he spoke.
"Hehe, you don't need to be so polite with me. Tianyu, why are you here?" Yunxuan asked with a smile.
"I heard some noise and white smoke rising over here. Something must have happened. According to the time, the Emperor should be here by now. That's why I was afraid that the Emperor would be in danger, so I led my troops here. "
"Now that the overall situation has been settled, everything has calmed down. All of you are the meritorious officials of my Great Ming. Let's go. Let's return to the Palace. I will definitely reward all of you. " After saying that, the Emperor finally safely returned to the Imperial Palace under the protection of everyone.
Arriving at the Imperial Reading Room and sitting on the Dragon Throne, the Emperor caressed the Dragon Throne that he had not seen for a long time and his heart was filled with emotions. His bitter days had finally come to an end. He had returned. From today onwards, he was still the ruler of a country and could still command the world.
"This servant Wang Shun greets the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. " After waiting for the Emperor to sit down, Shunzi immediately knelt on the ground and saluted.
"Dispense the formalities and rise. Shunzi, you really did not disappoint me. This time, your contribution is also huge. I will definitely reward you well. " Seeing Wang Shun under the hall, the Emperor spoke frankly.
"Many thanks to the Emperor. This servant being able to accompany by the Emperor's side is this servant's honor. This servant does not need any rewards. As long as the Emperor can return safely, this servant will be satisfied. Thank you very much, Emperor. This servant is able to accompany by the Emperor's side is this servant's honor. This servant does not need any rewards. As long as the Emperor can return safely, this servant will be satisfied. " Wang Shun once again gave the Emperor a great bow. These words also made the Emperor even happier.
"Hahaha, there's also Yunxuan. Tianyu, the two of you are my great contributors. In the past, I have really let the two of you down. Now, I solemnly apologize to the both of you. Today, I have returned safely. Speak! What kind of reward do the two of you want? Gold, silver, jewelry. . . As long as you can say it. . . I will satisfy you if I can do it. " The Emperor turned around and looked at Yunxuan and the rest as he spoke.
"Emperor, the two of us do not need any rewards. Protecting the Emperor to ascend to the throne is what we should do. Just like what Eunuch Wang said, as long as the Emperor can return safely, the peasants will be satisfied. " Yunxuan looked at Tianyu and cupped his hands to the Emperor.
"Emperor, what Master said is very true. This is what we should do. Emperor, during this period of time, the commoner had already helped Prince Qu clean up the hidden remnants of the World's Tyrant Manor in the Imperial Court. But I believe that it has not been completely cleaned up yet. Only a person with great wisdom like the Emperor would be able to clean up the rest. Everything had already been handed over to Eunuch Wang. At that time, Eunuch Wang can assist the Emperor in reorganizing the Ming Dynasty and reorganizing the Imperial Court. " Tianyu also looked at Yunxuan. Seeing Yunxuan nod to him, he cupped his hands and said to the Emperor.
"Listening to the meaning in Tianyu's words, are you all leaving?" After listening to Tianyu's words, the Emperor was very smart and naturally understood the meaning of his words, so he asked with some disappointment.
"Emperor, the peasants have been waiting for a long time and there are still many things waiting to be dealt with in the manor. And now that the Emperor has safely returned to the Imperial Palace, the commoner believes that with Royal Guards's three great experts and Prince Qu protecting the Emperor, he will definitely ensure the safety of the Emperor and the rest will be able to leave without worry. " After hearing the Emperor's words, Yunxuan quickly cupped his hands and said.
" That's right Emperor. Currently, there is a strong enemy outside of our manor and we might be attacked anytime and anywhere. So we must return and make arrangements as soon as possible. If there is any impoliteness, I hope the Emperor can understand. " Tianyu cupped his hands towards the Emperor as he spoke.
"Alright then. Since that is the case, I will not force you. But if there is anything you need my help with in the future, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will definitely give you all the greatest support. " Seeing that the two of them had made up their minds, the Emperor did not say anything else and nodded his head.
"Thank you for the Emperor's understanding. That commoner will take his leave now. " After saying that, Yunxuan and Tianyu both knelt down and saluted before standing up and leaving.
