Just as the four men approached the palace wall and were about to jump out, they heard a man shouting, and then a huge net came into view, as if falling from the sky.
Then, there was another exclamation.
The exclamation came from Zhu Ling and his group, who were covered by the net.
Everyone was shocked by this sudden scene, and it took them a long time to recover.
Only then did he realize that the imperial guards outside the wall had already set up a huge net for catching people.
Looking down at the wall, Zhu Ling and the other three were covered by the net. They barely stood up and struggled in a panic.
Several imperial guards jumped in from outside the wall and stood beside them, each holding a steel knife, intimidating them.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Yue Haoyun ordered, "Take Empress Dowager Zhu and Han Lie to the Meridian Gate and tie them to the flagpole. Tomorrow morning, I will announce their crimes to the people at the Meridian Gate and behead them in public. Yue Haoming and the other two will be thrown into the Heavenly Prison!"
The imperial guards found ropes and went forward to tie them up.
At this time, the team of eunuchs who had just arrived from the east of Jinghu Lake and brought Liang Zhirou had already come to Xia Miaoyuan, the second prince and others.
Xia Miaoyuan was just curious about how the Second Prince and his men managed to send Liang Zhirou from Da Xia in just a few days.
Seeing them coming, he immediately looked at them carefully.
The man in the lead was none other than the captain of the secret guards, named Wang Meng.
In other words, these people wearing eunuch uniforms are all Daxia secret guards in disguise.
She looked at Liang Zhirou again, and when she saw the face of "Liang Zhirou", she suddenly understood.
That girl was not Liang Zhirou at all. It turned out to be the Dan Niang who was rescued before.
Dan Niang and Liang Zhirou are about the same age and height, and from a distance they look really similar.
Wang Meng walked up to the Second Prince and bowed to him. The Second Prince pressed his hand, indicating that it was not necessary.
"Well done! This is a great idea. I will reward you well later!" The second prince said in a low voice.
Wang Meng, however, nodded to a young eunuch behind him, brought his mouth close to the Second Prince, and whispered, "This time, it's all thanks to the Empress. It was her idea."
The Second Prince and Xia Miaoyuan followed his gaze and saw that the thin eunuch standing behind him was actually Xiao Ruoyu in disguise.
"Ah, mother..." Xia Miaoyuan's eyes turned red and she couldn't help but call for her mother. The second prince quickly covered her mouth.
The queen raised a finger and gestured for silence.
The Second Prince, Xia Miaoyuan, and the equally excited Sang Qi and others all suppressed their emotions.
At this moment, a ethereal shout was suddenly heard, as if it came from far away, but very clear.
"stop!"
Immediately afterwards, a blue light flashed, as if a group of people flew in from outside.
When everyone looked closely, they saw that the leader was an old man dressed strangely.
The old man has gray hair and a long beard. He looks very old, but he is in good spirits.
He was wearing a robe of strange style and holding something that looked like a magic weapon.
Behind him were more than twenty young people, both girls and boys, dressed in the same strange way.
"Grandfather, you're here!" The tied-up Zhu Ling looked up and saw the old man and said happily.
What? Empress Dowager Zhu Ling's grandfather?!
For a moment, everyone present was shocked!
The witch and Mei'er were also tied up, and several guards were holding them as they were about to leave. They looked at the old man and said respectfully, "We are doing our job poorly, and we ask the great wizard to punish us!"
What? Great Wizard?
After the witch and Mei'er said this, everyone became even more confused.
The old man known as the Great Wizard said coldly, "Useless things! You can't even protect people! I'll teach you a lesson later!"
[Great Wizard?] Xia Miaoyuan bit her lip and tried hard to recall.
[It seems that there really is such a person in the original book, but he is only mentioned briefly.]
At this moment, the great wizard waved the magic weapon in his hand, and the imperial guards who were holding Zhu Ling and others screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
One of the followers brought by the great wizard immediately ran over, brought Zhu Ling and the others behind the great wizard, and untied the ropes.
"Are you the great wizard of the Chi tribe back then?! Are you still alive?" Lin Xiang's voice sounded.
The great wizard laughed exaggeratedly. When the laughter died down, he said coldly, "Why? Are you disappointed that I'm still alive?"
Lin Xiang couldn't help but feel stunned.
The Great Wizard's cold and ethereal voice continued, "Not only is she alive, but my own granddaughter, the little princess of the Chi tribe, has become the Empress and Empress Dowager of your Dai Viet, and she has manipulated your Dai Viet Emperor into her own hands!"
Lin Xiang clenched his fists tightly and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Everyone in the crowd looked at each other in confusion, and some older ministers stared at the great wizard in disbelief.
"Oh my God! He's still alive?"
"Chi Moyan, is it really you?!" an imperial censor with white hair and beard in the crowd screamed.
The great wizard looked at everyone with disdain and said nonchalantly, "Don't you remember my face?"
At this time, some younger ministers whispered, "Who is he? What exactly is the Chi tribe?"
"Didn't they say that the Chi tribe has been destroyed?"
In the crowd, the white-haired imperial censor whispered to the young ministers, "Back then, the late emperor repeatedly tried to tame the Chi tribe, but they not only refused, but also became even more arrogant. Finally, the late emperor had no choice but to burn down the mountains and forests where they lived."
