"Your Majesty, this old minister will immediately evacuate the people outside."
Wu Chao cupped his hands, his expression respectful.
After saying that, Wu Chao turned to leave without waiting for Lin Xuanye to speak.
Lin Xuanye frowned: "Lord Wu, you are the head of the Military Equipment Bureau and in charge of the armory. If you do not cooperate with me, it will be difficult for me. If public opinion breaks out, it will be very detrimental to your Wu family. Once it gets out of control, there will probably only be one outcome. I hope Lord Wu will think it over carefully."
"Does Your Majesty's performance of this play truly quell public opinion?" Wu Chao asked.
"Yes." Lin Xuanye said seriously, "If you don't cooperate and I lose face, neither of your families will have an easy time. I'm willing to fight to the death."
This young emperor displayed a powerful side.
Wu Chaodu's expression changed slightly, and he immediately said, "Very well, Your Majesty, this old minister agrees."
"Your Majesty, should we clear out those people outside now?" Xuan Yuanzhan asked.
"Go and clear out the vacancies before you come back. I'll wait for you here," Lin Xuanye said calmly.
"yes."
"Your Majesty, this old minister will come immediately."
Wu Chao and Xuanyuan Zhandao both left quickly.
Lin Xuanye sat on the throne, his eyes icy cold.
He wasn't afraid that the two would escape. If they did, or refused to come back, he would have a good excuse to take more forceful measures to suppress them.
In the shadows, Lin Jingshu whispered to Ye Qiu, "Brother, aren't you afraid they won't come back if you just let those two old foxes go like this?"
“They will definitely come back,” Ye Qiu said. “In the eyes of Xuan Yuan Zhan Dao and Wu Chao, your brother is still just a greenhorn. Even if he wants to deal with them, he won’t really dare to do anything to them.”
However, their current actions of surrounding the imperial palace are indeed extremely sensitive. If not handled properly, they could severely damage the reputations of both families. Therefore, they will definitely return to cooperate in this charade, unaware that it is not a performance.
"I understand." Lin Jingshu nodded in deep agreement. "What's this move called?"
"Openly repair the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass," Ye Qiu said.
"What does this mean?" Lin Jingshu felt like her mind was going blank.
Ye Qiu laughed and said, "For example, I might be praising you on the surface as incredibly good-looking, but actually I just want to sleep with you."
"Oh, how annoying!" Lin Jingshu blushed instantly. "You... how could you have such wicked thoughts? I idolize you, and you actually want to sleep with your fan."
"I'm just giving an example."
"That's not necessarily a bad thing. As long as you're bold enough, we might give you a chance," Lin Jingshu said shyly.
Ye Qiu was exasperated and decided to ignore Lin Jingshu.
This princess is dangerous!
...
Not long after, Wu Chao and Xuan Yuanzhan returned as expected, cooperating with Lin Xuanye in their act.
Lin Xuanye mobilized the most powerful 'Dragon God Guards' of the Imperial Palace to escort Wu Chao and Xuanyuan Zhandao into the Heavenly Prison.
The Imperial Palace Prison is an extremely special place.
Any expert at the Cave Realm who enters the Heavenly Prison will have their magical power completely sealed.
Because the Imperial Palace Prison was built by a sage at the request of the founding emperor of the Dragon Dynasty, it is surrounded by a sage's magic array, and it remains perfect to this day because a huge amount of manpower and resources are spent on its maintenance every year.
After Xuanyuan Zhandao and Wu Chao were imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, both of them remained very calm.
In their minds, Lin Xuanye would never dare to do anything to them, because the power of the Xuanyuan family and the Wu family could still unleash tremendous force even without them.
Unfortunately, they were ultimately too naive and greatly underestimated Lin Xuanye.
After the two were imprisoned, Lin Xuanye finally felt relieved.
Once these two get inside, they won't be able to escape, even if they had wings.
At this moment, Ye Qiu and Lin Jingshu finally appeared, without any more scruples.
"Jing Shu, you just said that you can't use your magic power in the Heavenly Prison. It seems that it's true. I really can't use my magic power right now," Ye Qiu said with a smile.
“Of course, hey, once those two old foxes were locked up here, they could never escape again.” Lin Jingshu smiled brightly.
"Teacher, what brings you here?" Lin Xuanye asked in surprise.
"We've been keeping a low profile, thinking we'd lend a hand if needed, but we didn't expect it to be so easy to succeed," Ye Qiu said.
"I didn't expect that either," Lin Xuanye said with a smile. "But in any case, it's a good start."
“Indeed.” Ye Qiu agreed wholeheartedly.
In the prison, Xuan Yuan Zhan Dao and Wu Chao were both shocked to see Ye Qiu.
"Ye Qiu, I never expected you to be hiding inside the Imperial Palace."
"Damn it, we've fallen for their trap."
Wu Chao and Xuanyuan Zhandao both realized what was happening, but it was too late.
They frantically rammed the iron gate of the boss, but having lost their magic power, they were unable to budge the prison gate, which was reinforced by a magic array.
The iron gate was made of meteorite cold iron, which is very special. Their physical strength was insufficient to destroy the iron gate, let alone bend it.
It is no exaggeration to say that Wu Chao and Xuanyuan Zhandao have been completely reduced to prisoners.
"You two clans want to kill me? I'm right here, come and kill me."
Ye Qiu stood with his arms crossed, staring at the two of them.
The two were consumed by hatred, their eyes turning red.
"Your Majesty, is what you are doing really appropriate? Once the Military Affairs Bureau is without a leader, who knows what kind of chaos will ensue?"
"Don't forget, the most powerful high-tech weapons and the most powerful Dao soldiers are all in the Military Equipment Bureau." Wu Chao's voice was low and the threat was obvious.
"I have already sent someone to take over the Military Equipment Bureau. As for your few confidants, I have also sent the Dragon God Guard to kill them all, leaving none alive."
