Chapter 171
Capital city.
Jing Yue was receiving Emperor Long Shun and his entourage at the martial arts hall.
For this reception, he made arrangements in advance and carefully selected many guards to provide secret protection to ensure that there would not be any problems.
If the enemy wanted to start with him, 'assassinating his father and blaming him' would indeed be a good entry point.
"Pianpian, you always praise me for my meticulousness. I hope I can be foolproof this time too." Jing Yue thought silently.
"Yuer, you have managed this martial arts school very well." Emperor Longshun praised.
Jing Yue maneuvered his wheelchair forward and said modestly, "It's all thanks to your father's teachings. I still need a few more years of training to be even a fraction as good as you."
Emperor Longshun laughed heartily, then glanced at him with a smile and changed the subject: "How did my Yue'er learn such high-sounding words?"
Jing Yue's smile remained unchanged. "My brothers and sisters are already capable of taking charge and sharing Father's worries. How can I, a son, always hide behind and burden Father and Mother? Naturally, I need to learn more..."
Emperor Longshun thought about the situations of his other sons and the families of his daughters and sons-in-law, and he felt relieved.
"You have a capable consort, so there's no need to be so cautious. Your mother and I are willing to pamper you a little more. Your brothers and sisters have their responsibilities and have to be worldly-wise. As for your responsibility, it's to raise a child with your consort."
Jing Yue had often heard similar remarks before, but in the two years since marrying Lin Zhiyi, she had heard them much less. She was more aware of the various examples of hard work and self-reliance shown by the Lin sisters. Later, he even managed a women's martial arts school.
Now hearing Emperor Longshun say this, he felt very complicated.
But he still kept a smile on his face: "Father, please——"
Jing Zhuowen looked at Jing Yue's back, narrowed his eyes, and looked uneasy, but soon he glanced at the female disciples lined up, and the corners of his lips curled up again.
When Jing Yue was introducing the last lesson taught in the women's martial arts school to Emperor Long Shun, something strange happened.
Suddenly, several female disciples suddenly jumped up, targeting Emperor Longshun.
Jing Yue conducted a thorough external inspection and also conducted several rounds of internal screening - after all, if someone has a criminal record or an unknown background, they will not even pass the first round of 'admission' - but who would have thought that something would still go wrong.
Perhaps someone who really wants to hide and ambush them would create a fake identity that cannot be traced back to the beginning.
Since most of the people traveling with them were not very good at martial arts or their martial arts skills were not very high, this sudden attack really caught them off guard.
Xie Junnuo took the lead in protecting Emperor Longshun, and Jing Yue also turned the wheelchair and used the weapons installed on the wheelchair to fight against the killer.
The others all ran in a swarm of panic. Some of the normal female students in the women's martial arts school were frightened and didn't react much, after all, it was their first time facing real combat. Others tried to resist, but since the nobles were coming to inspect, they were unarmed, so it was a bit difficult to hold on.
It will take some time for Tang Cong and others to get here.
In fact, there is no problem in ensuring the safety of several people, but Jing Yue's identity cannot be hidden - he has limited mobility in the wheelchair, and he must stand up from the wheelchair and move around to ensure that Emperor Longshun is not hurt.
Xie Junnuo figured it out in a flash and winked at Jing Yue repeatedly - at this time, even if Emperor Longshun got slightly injured, it wouldn't be a big problem, but if Jing Yue's pretense of illness was exposed, it would be hard to explain.
Of course, Jing Yue also understood the key point. He held on for a while, but later saw that Xie Junnuo was slashed with a knife, and Tang Cong and others were tripped outside and could not rush in, so he no longer cared about his disguise, pressed the armrest of the wheelchair hard, and soared into the sky. The long sword in his hand was as graceful as a dragon. In a few seconds, he cut the tendons of the hands and feet of the assassins who besieged Emperor Long Shun and Xie Junnuo, removed their jaws, and threw them aside.
This sudden change shocked everyone.
Especially Emperor Longshun.
Xie Junnuo covered his bleeding shoulder and closed his eyes in frustration.
This move was a really bad one!
Jing Yue really shouldn't have done this! She shouldn't have been exposed like this!
