Chapter 198 Big Turmoil
Richard and the others could clearly see the stillness on Lin Feng's side through the water mirror technique at the Star Gazing Tower.
None of them seemed inclined to stop them, not even Luo Yuheng was in a hurry.
With the group members there, and the entire Grand Supervisor of the Imperial Academy not intervening, who can do anything to them?
Let Emperor Yuanjing test him if he wants; in the end, he'll be the one who breaks his tooth anyway.
She also disliked this guy, so it would be good to teach him a lesson.
As for the supervisor, he had long known that Emperor Yuanjing was an alter ego of Emperor Zhende. As the saying goes, there was nothing in the entire capital that could be kept from him; it was only a matter of whether he wanted to get involved or was willing to get involved.
He also chose to sit back and watch the drama unfold between Emperor Yuanjing and the visitors from another world. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't.
Richard and the others were right beside him. Even if he wanted to help Emperor Yuanjing, he would have to see if Richard and the others would agree.
So he decided to just join in and watch the show, to see what these visitors from another world were capable of.
Of course, besides the people at the Star Observation Tower, many other places were also paying attention, such as the night watchmen.
As the headquarters of the night watchmen, the capital city naturally had the most stringent intelligence control over the area.
Apart from the imperial palace and a few other places, few places could escape their detection and surveillance.
At this time, Wei Yuan was paying close attention to the conflict between these unknown individuals and Emperor Yuanjing.
Of course, he wouldn't easily intervene. It was just a conflict caused by one of Emperor Yuanjing's concubines, and it didn't harm the interests of the Great Feng Dynasty. He was happy to see Emperor Yuanjing make a fool of himself.
After repelling the first wave of people sent by Emperor Yuanjing, Lin Feng and his group didn't take it to heart at all and continued to eat, drink, and play as usual.
It's like casually swatting a mosquito.
After some time, Emperor Yuanjing, enraged, finally sent a second group of people.
He also received detailed intelligence that the person who could take down dozens of imperial guards in one move was at least a fourth or fifth-rank martial artist.
So instead of sending them in waves, he directly dispatched the troops garrisoning the capital. A force of several thousand men was enough to take them down, even if they were fourth or fifth-rank experts who resisted.
Because among these soldiers guarding the capital, there are also some skilled ones. Not to mention, the commander-in-chief and several deputy commanders and captains are all quite strong, and there are even some who are of the middle third rank.
Just in case, Emperor Yuanjing also sent someone to the night watchman's place, asking Wei Yuan to send a golden gong and a group of people to provide support.
The night watchmen's golden gongs are mostly used by fourth-rank martial artists, and with two silver gongs, they're more than enough to deal with those arrogant people.
The entire street was quickly deserted. The troops guarding the capital had been mobilized, so something serious must have happened. Of course, the people had to run away, and some, fearing something terrible might happen inside the city, rushed to the outskirts.
These soldiers didn't care about the fleeing civilians; in fact, they thought it would be better to let them run away.
If this happened in a remote, unnoticed border region, killing these ordinary people would be one thing, but this is the capital city after all. If too many ordinary people are accidentally killed, they might be impeached to death by the civil officials in the court.
Lin Feng and his group didn't run away; instead, they watched with great interest as the army surrounded them.
Once the army had completed its formation and surrounded everyone, the general in command of the army finally appeared and began to persuade the people to surrender.
After all, His Majesty has already given the order. It doesn't matter who else is safe, but Mu Nanzhi must be unharmed.
If a fight were to break out, he couldn't guarantee that Mu Nanzhi would be unharmed. If Emperor Yuanjing were to blame him, he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences. So, it was better to persuade her to surrender.
Unfortunately, Lin Feng didn't even glance at them.
Hyotei and Xiaoyao chuckled and came out.
The commanding general frowned, wondering what the two young girls coming out from the other side meant.
Is this looking down on them?
With a wave of his hand, his soldiers rushed out. No matter what, they had to take down these guys first.
"Hey, half for each of us, no fighting over it!" Xiao Yao shouted at Hyotei. She knew this guy was into ice, and if she hadn't shouted, he would have frozen everyone on the other side into ice blocks, leaving none for her.
"Whoever gets it keeps it." Hyotei had no intention of agreeing; her strength lay in group attacks.
"If you don't agree, I'll tie you up first," Xiao Yao threatened.
"Fine, fine, I give up, half for each of us." Ice Empress sighed helplessly. She couldn't beat Xiao Yao. If Xiao Yao really tied her up, not only would she not be able to untie herself, but even if Snow Empress helped her, she wouldn't be able to.
That won't do; she doesn't want to lose face in front of so many people.
"That's more like it." Xiao Yao nodded in satisfaction.
Seeing that the soldiers opposite were about to rush in front of them, Hyotei slowly released a soul skill.
In an instant, all the soldiers along a straight line centered on her, as well as those on the left side, were frozen in place, like statues.
Not to be outdone, Xiao Yao on the right waved her hand and the soldiers charging towards her from the right were tied up with thin branches. Even though the soldiers struggled desperately, they could not break free from these seemingly small branches.
Thousands of soldiers were reduced to ice sculptures, and half of them were turned into pupae crawling all over the ground. The scene was so beautiful that even the general leading the army dared not look directly at it.
At this moment, his mental activity was incredibly rich. If someone could read his thoughts, they would know that he was cursing those intelligence agents in his mind.
Didn't you say there was only one martial artist at the fourth or fifth rank? I don't believe you. Where did these two people come from?
Are those intelligence agents just sitting around doing nothing? These two are clearly high-ranking experts, and they know nothing about them. If His Majesty knew there were two of them here, why would he send them to deliver food?
Several thousand elite troops may sound impressive, but what do they amount to for these high-level experts?
At this point, only this general remained, and all he could think about was how to answer to His Majesty.
He can't just abandon his men and run away; how will he lead troops in the future?
It would be difficult to explain to His Majesty if we went back.
But he didn't have the guts to attack those two young girls who had subdued his thousands of men with a wave of their hands.
I never expected this task to be so tricky; I've failed this time.
Now he no longer craves any credit or recognition; he's just happy to avoid being unfairly blamed.
After thinking it over, he knew he couldn't run away, but he really didn't want to be a popsicle on the left. He decided to go with his brothers on the right and become a pupae. Although it wasn't respectable, at least he could save his life.
With that thought, he charged straight at Xiao Yao, who kindly tied him up as well.
