In the square, under the command of General Qin Xiong, many soldiers surrounded Raymond in an instant.

"Who dares to touch my brother?"

Qin Yu's eyes flashed fiercely and he shouted coldly.

Gu Yunle also stepped forward and protected Raymond.

Facing the numerous soldiers surrounding him, Raymond showed no fear at all.

However, the longbow in his hand slowly dropped.

In this situation, even if you resist, there is not much point.

"Qin Yu, do you want to rebel too?" Qin Xiong shouted angrily.

"Dad, Raymond was also forced into this coup, and in the end he also turned from evil to good."

Qin Yu frowned, and immediately walked forward quickly, begging: "So, can you let him go this time?"

"no!"

Qin Xiong's face was cold and indifferent, and he said in a stern voice: "No matter what the reason is, killing an important official in the court is an unforgivable crime!"

"Xiao Le, come back to the family with me."

Gu Lie looked at Gu Yunle and gave the order with a stern look on his face.

In the previous coup, he had interfered with the change of imperial power, which was an exception.

So this time, the patriarch of the Gu family plans not to interfere again.

"If you want to go, you go first!"

However, Gu Yunle, who had always followed his father's words, disobeyed his father for the first time.

"How dare you disobey me!"

Gu Lie's eyes darkened slightly, and his voice was slightly angry. "I'll give you one more chance, leave or not!"

Gu Yunle looked determined and said sternly: "Raymond is my brother. I can't care whether he lives or dies!"

Hearing this, Gu Lie was slightly surprised.

He stared at Gu Yunle with deep eyes.

In response to his son's repeated refusal, Gu Lie did not continue to threaten him. Instead, a hint of appreciation welled up in his eyes.

"Second brother, fourth brother, that's enough."

Raymond shook his head, not wanting to implicate them.

"Boss, my sister's name is Lei Yingying. From now on... please take good care of her."

Immediately, Raymond turned his gaze to Lin Hao beside him, as if he was explaining his last wishes.

Among his brothers, he felt that Lin Hao was the most reliable.

After all, Qin Yu and Gu Yunle are usually lazy and if my sister follows them, she will most likely be led astray.

However, upon hearing this, a hint of anger finally emerged on Lin Hao's calm face.

"What nonsense! If you want to take care of someone, take care of them yourself!"

After saying that, Lin Hao glanced coldly at the soldiers around him, and the Dragon-Devouring Sword flashed in his hand again!

The way he acted, his meaning was very clear.

roar--!

The fire-scaled tiger pounced forward, opening its mouth and roaring.

The ferocious roar, containing extremely powerful sound waves, suddenly spread out.

Under the shock of the fire-scale tiger, the faces of those soldiers changed drastically, and they immediately retreated in fear.

They had witnessed with their own eyes the bloody scene of the Fire Scale Tiger biting a ninth-level warrior to death and devouring him, and they were still frightened when they thought about it now!

"I know you brothers have a deep bond, but the law is merciless."

Qin Xiong said calmly: "Even if you can spare his life, you have to destroy his cultivation!"

In order to prevent the dynasty's safety from being endangered again, Qin Xiong's attitude at this time was extremely tough.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became frozen.

Qin Xiong was not wrong, and neither were Lin Hao and the others.

It’s just that both parties are standing at a different perspective.

Not far away, the fourth prince Yan Chen was watching in silence.

Obviously, they tacitly approved of Qin Xiong's way of handling the matter.

He was able to let Yan Hongyi, who had escaped earlier, go because of their blood relationship.

But Raymond, who had no relatives, could only use him as a scapegoat, killing him in public to scare the monkeys and show the power of the new king!

Lin Hao had already guessed this from Yan Chen's indifference.

Otherwise, as the Fourth Prince is about to ascend the throne as the new king and hold great power, who would dare to disobey him if he pardons Raymond?

"What kind of kindness? It seems like it's all just a hypocritical imperial act."

Lin Hao sneered in his heart, as if he had seen through everything.

Immediately, Lin Hao turned to face Raymond and said softly: "Third brother, Yingying doesn't need us, but you."

"So, for your sister, you must live!"

After saying this, before Raymond had time to think, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Lin Hao's mouth. He suddenly felt his body lighten, and he suddenly flew into the air.

But then Sibao suddenly grabbed Raymond's shoulders with a pair of sharp claws and dragged him directly into the sky.

"Archers ready!"

Seeing this, Qin Xiong's face darkened and he suddenly shouted angrily.

In an instant, the archers in the field quickly drew their bows and arrows.

Lin Hao used the artistic conception of wind and suddenly soared into the sky.

At the same time, he quickly engraved two wind runes with his hands, flashing green light.

"shoot!"

Under Qin Xiong's command, the border guards' archers shot directly without any delay.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…!!!

In an instant, dense arrows shot up like a flood.

"Boss! Get out of the way!!"

Seeing this scene, Raymond yelled in panic.

The eight-foot-tall man couldn't stop the tears from flowing out at this moment.

In mid-air, looking at the rain of arrows that were rapidly enlarging in his pupils, Lin Hao's eyes were cold and he directly activated two wind runes.

Sixth-level spell, sweeping away everything in its path!

boom--!

In an instant, the spiritual power of heaven and earth roared, and two huge green tornadoes appeared out of thin air.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

Under the horrific wind and waves, all the arrows that were shot at were caught in the whirlwind and crushed into pieces in an instant.

Despite this obstruction, Sibao had already taken Raymond and flew high into the sky at an extremely fast speed, away from the archers' shooting range.

"Let me go quickly, I can't let the boss get involved!"

Raymond shook his body violently, trying to break free.

"Human, be quiet!"

Electricity surged through Sibao's body, shocking Raymond without mercy, causing his body to stiffen.

Then it followed Lin Hao's order and flew rapidly towards the direction of Tianyan Academy.

In Tianyan Academy, with the presence of two big guys, the Lord Ying Yuanzi and the Blind Sword Saint, they should not dare to act recklessly.

"The boss is still awesome."

Seeing this, Qin Yu and Gu Yunle both breathed a sigh of relief.

Anger flashed in Qin Xiong's eyes, but he was soon relieved and stopped sending troops to chase him.

Although he is impartial and just, he doesn't necessarily have to kill everyone immediately.

The reason why Qin Xiong was so ruthless just now was that he was actually waiting for Yan Chen to speak.

If only he could stand up and stop it, and speak out to pardon Raymond, the situation between the two sides wouldn't have become so awkward.

But from beginning to end, Yan Chen did not express his opinion at all.

Not only Qin Xiong did not expect this, but even Lin Hao and the others could not guess it.

The Fourth Prince, who has always acted in a clear and bright manner, unexpectedly has such a sinister mentality.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh inwardly at this.

I don’t know if it was the power that made him change, or if the Fourth Prince was actually a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

After all, Yan Chen has the royal blood of the Yan family.

Once he holds power, his true nature will gradually be exposed.

"Lin Hao, as a member of the Mingge organization, you failed in your duty and let the criminal escape."

Yan Chen suddenly spoke up, looked at Lin Hao and asked, "How do you think you should explain this to me?"

Although the Fourth Prince had not yet ascended the throne at this time, under the inducement of power, he had already begun to subtly assume the role of the Flame King.

His words and actions were very different from the way Lin Hao talked before.

Because in his eyes, Lin Hao was just an assassin of Mingge, and according to his status, he was his subordinate.

"There is nothing to explain. In my eyes, Raymond is not a criminal."

Lin Hao did not comment, he looked down at Yan Chen and said coldly: "Also, from today on, I will quit my job at Ming Pavilion."

After saying that, Lin Hao took out the badge of the Hades Pavilion member from the storage ring and threw it down.

"clang!"

A crisp sound was heard, and the black badge spun a few times on the ground before coming to a standstill.

Yan Chen frowned, obviously not expecting that Lin Hao would be so resolute and decisive.

Or perhaps, he had no respect at all for the new king.

"In that case, then it's as you wish."

Yan Chen hesitated for a moment, then said, "Although letting a criminal go is unforgivable, I will not pursue the matter further considering your contribution in this coup."

Hearing this, Lin Hao remained silent.

Without even a word of courtesy, he turned around and flew out of the city.

As for the Fire Scale Tiger and Kung Fu Fly below, they suddenly disappeared out of thin air in front of everyone's surprised gaze, and were all collected by Lin Hao into the system pet space.

"The boss is so unique and so handsome!"

Gu Yunle grinned, his voice full of undisguised admiration.

"Of course, this is the boss's usual style."

Qin Yu nodded in agreement, his eyes flickering as he looked at Lin Hao's figure that was flying farther and farther away.

He knew very well that Lin Hao's identity as an assassin had now been exposed, and it would no longer be appropriate for him to continue serving in the Underworld Pavilion.

Moreover, the most important point is that Yan Chen's tacit approval of the arrest of Raymond just now undoubtedly made Lin Hao quite disappointed.

Just as Lin Hao had said to the third prince Yan Hongyi before.

If we have different ideals, we cannot work together!

"Your boss is indeed a brother worth making friends with."

At this time, Gu Lie walked up to Gu Yunle and Qin Yu and said in an approving tone.

"nonsense."

Gu Yunle waved his hand and responded almost subconsciously.

However, as soon as he said this, his expression tensed up, and he realized that the person standing next to him was his father!

Gu Lie didn't seem to mind this. He said in a low and obscure voice, "With Lin Hao's martial arts talent and temperament, he will definitely achieve great things in the future."

"So, it is a wise choice for him to resign from the position of Mingge now. At least his future development will not be restricted."

At this time, Qin Xiong also came over.

"Old brother is right."

He looked at the receding figure of Lin Hao in the sky and said with a deep smile: "I hope he won't hate me, his uncle, for what I did today."

Hearing this, Gu Yunle, Qin Yu and the others were all stunned.

Because as far as they could remember, this was the first time they had seen their fathers praising someone like that.

Fortunately, this man is their boss, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

At this time, a large number of palace eunuchs began to busy themselves with cleaning up the scene.

Bucket after bucket of clean water was poured down, and the originally coagulated bloodstains under the imperial city became even more scarlet and glaring under the sunlight.

The fourth prince Yan Chen had walked onto the platform without anyone noticing.

He had a calm face as he looked down at the land, the area under his power.

No one could guess what he was thinking at the moment from his changing eyes.

But everyone knows that after so many changes today.

The elegance and gentleness that the Fourth Prince had previously shown seemed to have completely disappeared.

That transformation was like a cub suddenly growing into a wolf king.

As for how things will develop in the future, it all depends on his own luck.

…

At dusk, at the gate of Tianyan Academy.

A flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky and landed here.

The deacon guarding the gate is a second-year student.

hiss!

When they saw clearly that the lightning that was coming was actually a huge bird with purple thunder flashing all over its body, their faces suddenly changed slightly and they couldn't help but gasp.

This thunderbird is undoubtedly Sibao.

Due to the shock of Sibao's electric current along the way, Raymond's whole body was paralyzed and he fell upside down when he landed.

"Huh? That person seems to be Senior Raymond?"

When the two deacons were about to go forward to check the situation, another sound of breaking wind suddenly came from the distant sky.

They looked a little startled and immediately looked up.

But Lin Hao was seen stepping on the void, riding the wind, as if there was a sword under his feet, which was quite charming.

"That's Senior Lin Hao!"

Since Lin Hao had already changed into the school uniform of Tianyan Academy at this time, he was recognized by the two deacons at the first sight.

Immediately, the two of them went up to him with surprise on their faces.

They looked at Lin Hao who was landing, and then looked at Raymond whose face was covered in blood, and asked curiously: "Senior Lin Hao, what happened to you?"

"Nothing, please inform the Lord of the Mansion for me. I want to see him."

Lin Hao didn't say much and spoke bluntly.

“Okay…Okay.”

The two deacons looked confused, but did not think much about it. One of them immediately took out a sound transmission talisman and ignited it as Lin Hao requested.

"Senior Lin Hao, the Lord of the Mansion told you to go to the main hall to meet him."

A moment later, news came from the mansion lord.

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Lin Hao's eyes.

us?

Could it be that the Lord of the Mansion already knows about what happened between Raymond and me?

At this time, the electric current in Raymond's body dissipated, and he returned to normal, and suddenly stood up.

"Boss, you are impulsive."

He looked at Lin Hao with an apologetic expression.

"Since you call me Boss, you should listen to me. Don't hesitate. Come with me to see the Lord of the Mansion."

Lin Hao's tone was quite domineering, and then he said no more and walked straight to the door.

Seeing this, Raymond was slightly stunned and followed Lin Hao closely.

"Xiao Ba, do you know what species this thunderbird is?"

"I don't know either. I feel that the aura is very strong. It should be some kind of high-level magical beast."

As for Sibao, under the astonished gazes of the two deacons, he deliberately posed coquettishly to show off his elegant and handsome figure.

“Humans…”

However, when Sibao was about to speak in human language to show off, he suddenly disappeared.

Lin Hao directly took it into the system pet backpack space...
