20demayo Chapter 191 Don't let Yagyu Yuki die, it would be such a pity.
Chapter 191 Don't let Yagyu Yuki die, it would be such a pity.
Liu Zhenshan's mind went blank.
Thirty-six Heavenly Guards?
Have not heard.
But the Thirteen Protectors—the ones who previously blocked the attack on the Prince of Zhenbei by the Twelve Heavenly Array of the Purple Robe Tower—were actually the thirteen of them.
Those thirteen people are said to all be at the peak of the Grandmaster level!
"Also..." Lin Chen thought for a moment.
"Let the thousand Great Snow Dragon Riders outside the city enter the city in four batches, with two hundred and fifty riders in each batch, stationed in the four directions of east, south, west and north."
Patrols began on the streets after the curfew started.
Yuan Tiangang nodded: "Understood."
The courtyard was deathly silent.
The households behind Liu Zhenshan, numbering in the thousand and hundred, all gaped open, like fish that had just come ashore.
Although we don't know how strong the Thirty-Six Heavenly Guards are, they must be strong, since Lin Chen sent them out.
The Thirteen Protectors – a team composed of peak Grandmasters, whose combined formation can withstand even celestial beings.
A thousand Great Snow Dragon Riders—all at the peak of the first rank, their charge could crush even a Grandmaster!
This lineup... this is going to plow through the entire capital!
"Your Highness..." a slightly bolder commander asked cautiously.
"Isn't this commotion... a bit too much? What if it disturbs the people, and then the court..."
"Big?" Lin Chen chuckled. "I think it's too small."
He walked up to the commander and stared at him:
"Those bastards from Zhongzhou sneaked into our homes, put knives by your bedside, poisoned your pots, and ambushed your son on his way to school—and now you're telling me it's a big commotion?"
Qianhu's legs went weak under Lin Chen's gaze.
"I'm telling you," Lin Chen said, his voice low, but every word struck a chord in their hearts.
"Here, there is no such thing as disturbance. It's either them die, or we perish. Since they dare to run wild on my territory..."
He grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth:
"You have to be prepared to be chopped into mincemeat."
The commander knelt down with a thud: "Understood! I'll take care of it right away!"
Lin Chen stopped looking at him and turned back to Liu Zhenshan: "Lord Liu."
"Your subordinate is here!"
"I'll give you one hour." Lin Chen held up one finger.
"In one hour, I want to see all the Imperial City Guards deployed, arranged as I just described."
"Streets, inns—you need to be at every intersection. Can you do that?"
Liu Zhenshan gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"
"Very good." Lin Chen nodded. "Remember, in this operation, follow my orders."
Who dares to outwardly comply but inwardly defy, leak information, or fail to perform their duties effectively...?
Lin Chen paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "I will exterminate his entire family."
The five words: light and airy.
Liu Zhenshan's hair stood on end, and the veins on his clasped hands bulged.
"Your subordinate understands! I would never dare to make a mistake!"
"Go."
Liu Zhenshan and his men practically ran out of the courtyard.
The footsteps faded away, and the courtyard fell silent again.
Yuan Tiangang whispered, "My lord, should we have Jing Ke take action secretly? His skills in infiltration and assassination would allow him to clear out these strongholds much faster."
"Yes." Lin Chen nodded.
"Have him keep an eye on that half-step immortal. Once he makes a move, kill him immediately and don't give him a chance to cause any trouble."
"Yes."
"Also," Lin Chen said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
"Let Dongfang Bai protect Zuiyue Pavilion well, it's one of our key industries."
And keep an eye on Yagyu Yuki... make sure she doesn't die. She's quite pretty; it would be a shame if she died.
Yuan Tiangang's lips twitched beneath his mask:
"...Understood, I guarantee that I will not let a single hair on Yagyu Yuki's head be harmed."
"As for Hua Tuo—" Lin Chen's lips curled up slightly, "Let him focus on refining the Dragon Tiger Pill for me. I need it urgently, so tell him to hurry up."
"Yes."
After explaining all this, Lin Chen stretched out a big yawn, his joints cracking a few times.
The ruthless and decisive look on his face vanished instantly, and he reverted to his lazy demeanor.
"Alright, everything that needs to be set up has been set up. Now... it's up to you guys."
Yuan Tiangang hesitated for a moment, then spoke:
"My lord, the fact that all the demonic sects of Zhongzhou have gathered in the capital this time must be due to the influence of the Netherworld Sect."
Besides coveting the Demon Lord's essence, perhaps there are other purposes...
"Ignore them." Lin Chen yawned and said casually.
"Kill them one by one, kill them in pairs. Dayan, and even the Eastern Region, are our territory. They have no right to be so presumptuous!"
"Understood!" Yuan Tiangang nodded in response.
"Go on!" Lin Chen waved his hand, turned around, and walked towards the backyard.
"Don't be afraid of killing the wrong person. Take this opportunity to sort out the capital and eliminate any scheming individuals."
Lin Chen muttered to himself as he walked:
"Sigh, Yueyao is getting more and more anxious, calling eight times a day... I have to go to work overtime, this is terrible!"
Yuan Tiangang watched Lin Chen's figure sway and disappear behind the moon gate, and his face under the mask twitched violently twice.
This lord is truly...
When it's time to be lazy, lie down rather than sit.
When I'm feeling horny, I can't resist a beautiful woman.
When it's time to be ruthless—more terrifying than the King of Hell.
He shook his head, his figure flickered, and he disappeared from the spot.
……
Liu Zhenshan led his men out of the palace, and only dared to slow down after turning two streets.
"My lord..." A commander approached, his face pale.
"Are we really going to do as the prince says? Curfew... crackdown... we'll offend too many people!"
Liu Zhenshan suddenly turned his head, his eyes bloodshot:
"You won't do it? If you don't want to, go to the Prince's mansion right now and tell him you're not going to do it. See if he'll chop you up with a knife!"
The commander shrank back.
"Listen up." Liu Zhenshan panted heavily as he scanned the crowd. "You all heard what the Prince just said."
"He'll outwardly comply but inwardly defy you, and then execute your entire family—this isn't just a bluff, he's truly capable of doing it!"
Everyone fell silent.
"So," Liu Zhenshan gritted his teeth, "one hour, just one hour!"
Send all your men out to the city gates, streets, inns... arrange everything exactly as the prince instructed.
"If anyone makes a mistake, I'll kill them before Your Highness even has to lift a finger!"
"yes!"
The crowd responded enthusiastically and then scattered.
Liu Zhenshan stood there, looking at the stack of papers in his hand.
On the first page, the words "half-step terrestrial immortal" pierced my eyes like needles.
He suddenly felt that the world in the capital—and even in Dayan—was about to change.
……
The backyard of the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion.
As soon as Lin Chen stepped through the moon gate, he saw a person standing in the corridor.
She wore a pale yellow dress, her hair was loosely tied up, and she held a round fan in her hand, looking at him with a half-smile.
"Yueyao," Lin Chen immediately put on a smile, "Waiting for me?"
Chu Yueyao smiled slightly and said softly:
"Husband, the Imperial City Guard is directly under the Empress's command; you should at least give them some face, shouldn't you?"
"I've kept it!" Lin Chen leaned closer and said with a grin.
"It's just to give them some instructions. If we don't intimidate them, they won't listen to us."
"Do you have something to tell me?" Chu Yueyao gently tapped Lin Chen's head with her fan.
"I heard it all from behind—'Exterminate nine generations of their family'? 'Chop them into mincemeat'? Husband, has your heart hardened so much now?"
Lin Chen grabbed the fan, and in doing so, also grasped Chu Yueyao's hand:
"I was just trying to scare them. Besides, no matter how hard-hearted I am, I still soften when it comes to Madam. Of course... other things aside!"
Chu Yueyao's cheeks flushed slightly as she withdrew her hand and said coquettishly:
"You're being ridiculous. Tell me, is something really big about to happen in the capital?"
Lin Chen's smile faded slightly: "Yes, some rats have sneaked in; we need to clean them out."
"Is it dangerous?"
"It's not dangerous." Lin Chen chuckled.
"Don't you know what kind of abilities your husband has?"
Chu Yueyao stared at Lin Chen for a long time, then sighed softly:
"I know you're very capable... but be careful in everything you do."
"You are not alone now. You have the Prince's Mansion behind you, we women behind you, and..."
She didn't finish speaking, but Lin Chen understood.
"Don't worry." Lin Chen put his arm around Chu Yueyao's shoulder. "The one who can kill me hasn't been born yet."
Chu Yueyao leaned on Lin Chen's shoulder, hesitated for a moment, and whispered:
"Can you still stay with me?"
Lin Chen was slightly taken aback, then smiled and swept Chu Yueyao up in his arms.
"I came to find you as soon as we finished our business. I'll do my best to make sure Madam gets what she wants today!"
Chu Yueyao rolled her eyes. "You always say that, but you never see it..."
"I have a feeling this time!" Lin Chen chuckled.
As soon as he finished speaking, he used his movement technique to quickly rush towards Xinglin Garden.
