Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Today he sneered: "You...
Today, he sneered, "You are very good at seizing opportunities."
There was a hint of sarcasm in these words, but the boy was so sleepy that he could hear them. He really didn't have the energy to care, so he just said, "Your Majesty, please give me this opportunity! I will definitely make amends for my crime! I will do my best! I will never let Your Majesty down!"
The young man only remembered that he should find an opportunity to do a job, make a contribution, and ask for a reward, so that he could ask His Majesty to secretly give an order to kill all the villagers.
He remembered nothing else.
Too sleepy.
Seeing how sleepy he looked, the current boss felt that there was no point in causing trouble for him, so he kicked him, turned around, sat next to him, and drank his tea which had cooled down a bit.
No one around dared to speak.
After drinking the tea, the emperor calmed down, put the teacup back, and said to the young man, "Since you are willing, I will leave this matter to you. If you can't do it, you will be beheaded. Do you understand?"
The young man only heard that the emperor was willing to hand over the matter to him, and he did not take the thought of being beheaded seriously at all. He was just extremely happy and kowtowed to express his gratitude: "I know! Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The current leader stood up and waved his hand: "In that case, let's go now. This matter cannot be delayed."
The guards around immediately stepped forward, one person on each side, lifted the young man from the ground, and dragged him out. The young man inexplicably felt like he was stepping on Hot Wheels, and he walked lightly, and he laughed.
The emperor could not bear to hear his laughter, and frowned and said, "Give him a carriage and take him to the place immediately. He is not allowed to come back until the task is completed!"
The eunuch immediately commanded the guards beside him: "Why don't you go quickly?!"
The guards quickly carried the young man away.
The surroundings became much quieter, and the young man immediately fell asleep in the carriage. The present emperor got on the carriage, left the villa halfway up the mountain, and returned to the imperial study. He gradually felt sleepy as he looked at the memorials.
He couldn't help but put the memorial on the table, stood up and said, "I'm going to the Yangxin Palace to have a good sleep before coming back. Remember to prepare a midnight snack for me and keep it warm. I'll eat it when I wake up."
"Yes!" said the eunuch beside him.
Now he went to the Yangxin Palace to rest.
However, after the present master took the young man away, the villa halfway up the mountain became empty again. Li Baili slowly got up from the ground, patted her clothes, glanced at the sky, and was in no mood to eat, so she went back to her room to rest.
As for the swordsman in the basement, he was originally teaching the wounded to practice sword skills. When he noticed what was happening on the ground, he couldn't help but frown. He wanted to go up, but he was worried that he couldn't get away. If he was not careful, he might get a stitch in the side, and it would be bad if someone died without being discovered. So he could only stay here, absent-minded.
Fortunately, he was the teacher, not the student, otherwise, with his condition, he would have been called out and questioned.
After the practice, the injured person, sweating and panting, walked to the sword holder and asked, "How did I do in practice?"
"Yes," the sword bearer nodded, "I should go up now."
The injured man couldn't help but ask curiously: "Can I follow?"
"What are you doing up there?" the swordsman wondered.
"I want to know what you usually do. I want to know how our master has such profound sword skills." The injured man said, blinking his eyes.
"If you want to know how to achieve such a level of cultivation, you don't need to go up," the swordsman said with a smile, lowering his eyes, "just practice until you have practiced enough."
This is what the system says, and this is what the system gives you, so that’s probably it.
"As for what we usually do, you don't need to know, because knowing this is of no use to your cultivation." The swordsman said coldly.
"Then when can I get out?" the injured person asked cautiously.
"I'll do it as soon as possible." The Swordsman did not give him an exact deadline.
The injured man nodded slightly disappointed, but still said, "I'll wait for Master to come back."
"Go and have a rest." The swordsman nodded, ran away quickly.
The injured man looked at his back with regret, sighed, and murmured to himself: "If only one day I could be like this, go wherever I want, do whatever I want."
The swordsman appeared on the ground and went straight to Li Baili's room. Li Baili was already lying on the bed with her eyes closed, as if she had fallen asleep.
But the sword bearer knew that he was still awake, so he pulled him out of bed and said, "You need to wash your hair and clothes. Wash them again, shall we?"
Li Baili was helpless. He closed his eyes and stretched out his hand. The swordsman stuffed the wet handkerchief into his hand.
He washed his face to wake up, and did as the sword bearer said. He washed again and again until it was completely clean.
The Sword Bearer sat next to him and said, "The one in the basement should be sent out."
"Where is the best place to send it?" Li Baili asked with her eyes closed.
"In my opinion," the sword bearer hesitated, "send him to the border. The area there is vast and sparsely populated, so it will be difficult to find him. Even if he is found, the people there may not recognize him. As long as he is not easily deceived by the passing merchants, he should be fine."
The swordsman paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "He loves swordsmanship so much. He can protect himself if he encounters a wild beast."
Li Baili rubbed her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "The most important thing is that there is a suitable person who can take care of him in the border area."
"Indeed." The Swordsman nodded.
"Then let's contact him." Li Baili opened her eyes and looked at him and said, "I can't go out. I have no choice but to ask you to go. Please go. How about going now?"
The sword bearer stood up and said, "Of course I should go."
He poured himself a cup of tea and said with a wry smile, "It's just that it's a bit rushed now, as if you can't wait to see me."
Li Baili shook her head: "I don't think so."
The swordsman drank the cup of tea: "What should I say?"
"Just say," Li Baili thought for a moment, "I asked you to bring someone to him and ask him to help take care of him. He should be willing to take over. After all, it's just one person, young, and he won't be involved in anything."
The sword bearer placed the empty cup back on the table and sighed, "He'll be able to find out if he investigates. Whatever that person is carrying, he can't be said to be completely uninvolved."
"Anyway," Li Baili looked at him, "why don't you go first?"
"Okay," the sword bearer looked at him and suddenly smiled, "but I can't go empty-handed. Without any token, he might think I'm a liar."
"Then just pick something to take away." Li Baili spread out her hands and said indifferently.
The swordsman stretched out his hand and grabbed the black coat on Li Baili: "This is a nice coat. Give it to me. I'll take it as a keepsake."
"This isn't an old item," Li Baili shook her head, grabbed the dress, and said reluctantly, "It's better not to take it away. I'm afraid I won't recognize it. Why don't you change it?"
"What do you want to change?" The man holding the sword did not let go, obviously unwilling to give in.
Li Baili looked at it and said, "I remember there is a personal seal in the cabinet that I used to use. How about you take it?"
The swordsman suddenly exerted force, pulled the clothes away, and said with a smile: "Come on. Who knows your personal seal? I'm afraid it's useless. Even if I take it away, what if the current master comes to check and finds that an important thing is missing here? What should I do then?"
Li Baili had no choice but to let go of her hand reluctantly, but she still couldn't help but remind him, "Be gentle, be gentle. This thing is very soft. If you are not careful and it gets deformed, it will be difficult to wear."
The sword bearer nodded repeatedly, holding the cat in his arms as if he were holding a big black cat, with fluffy, shiny fur, and smiled, "I will take good care of your clothes."
"I don't know if I can get this dress back," Li Baili shook her head and touched the dress, "It's up to you."
The sword bearer stepped aside and said, "Then shall I set off?"
"Goodbye," Li Baili looked at him, "Have a nice trip!"
The sword bearer smiled and nodded, "I'll be right back."
Having said that, he disappeared.
At the same time, the emperor, who had just woken up from a nap, listened attentively to what the eunuch said, then sat by the bed and waved, "Let that person come in."
Immediately, a man in Taoist robes came in holding a box.
"Your Majesty, I am honored to meet you!" He bowed deeply to the current emperor.
"Get up!" The current leader waved his hand nonchalantly and asked, "What did you bring?"
The Taoist priest immediately opened the box, held it above his head and said, "This is a gift to His Majesty. It is the latest indicator needle that we have refined!"
At first glance, that thing looked like a compass, but upon closer inspection it looked like a magnetic compass. The needle inside was shaking around and it looked like it was broken.
The present man took it in his hand, looked at it, and asked, "What is this for?"
"Your Majesty," the Taoist priest said respectfully and enthusiastically, "If there is anyone nearby, that person will be pointed out by this thing. It guarantees that no matter what kind of demon or monster it is, it will be nowhere to hide."
"Have you tested it?" asked the present man, holding the thing in one hand and taking a look at it.
"Yes, we have tested it." The Taoist nodded and said excitedly: "No matter how you hide, you will be found in the first place."
The current man thought about it and asked doubtfully, "If there is more than one person hiding, can this thing point them out?"
The Taoist nodded and said, "If there are many people, the needles here will be divided into many parts, pointing to different places, indicating the locations of those people. But if there is only one person, there will only be one needle."
"That sounds good," the emperor decided to give it a try and pointed at the eunuch, "find a place to hide."
The eunuch immediately looked around and hid behind a pillar.
The pointer in the current person's hand suddenly stopped shaking and pointed directly behind a pillar without hesitation, where the eunuch was hiding.
