Chapter 382: Burning the Inn
Emperor Dong Feng suddenly stood up and slammed the table, he was so furious. He asked the national teacher to find a solution for him, but the national teacher told him these words, saying that the country would no longer exist. Wasn't this a curse to destroy his country?
The Imperial Master stood up calmly. Hearing the Emperor's words, he felt a sense of relief. He bowed deeply to the Emperor Dong Feng and said, "This is all I have to say. Whether Your Majesty believes it or not is your business. I will take my leave now!"
It doesn't matter if he doesn't do this job as the national teacher, he can still have a relaxed life.
Originally, seeing the prosperity of Dongfeng Kingdom, he wanted to assist the Emperor of Dongfeng so that Dongfeng Kingdom could prosper for a long time. However, he did not expect that the Emperor of Dongfeng actually wanted to unify the world.
If this happens, the fate of Dongfeng Kingdom will come to an end.
After the Imperial Master took his leave, he hurried out of the imperial study and then hurried out of the palace. At the gate of the palace, he glanced in the direction of the posthouse and said, "Your purple aura is very strong."
God's will cannot be violated. The Imperial Master sighed deeply, returned to his Imperial Master's Mansion, packed up his things, and left the capital.
However, as soon as the Imperial Master left, a man in a black Taoist robe looked at the departing Imperial Master with a sinister look. He curled his lips, glanced at the palace, and walked towards Prince Rui's Palace.
Prince Rui is the legitimate son of the Queen, but the youngest son of Emperor Dongfeng. He is narrow-minded, has a bad temper, and is arrogant. He relies on being the legitimate son and does not take the Crown Prince seriously.
As soon as the prince was injured, he could no longer sit still and summoned the legal advisor in the mansion to pay attention to the developments in the palace.
Coincidentally, this master was the former junior fellow of the Imperial Master. He was treacherous by nature and did all kinds of bad things, and was later expelled from the sect.
Knowing that his senior brother had become the imperial teacher, he turned to King Rui to help him regain the throne of crown prince.
In Prince Rui's eyes, the position of crown prince should have been his.
When the master saw that the national teacher had left, he knew that his chance had come and he also wanted to become the national teacher respected by everyone.
He immediately told King Rui the news.
King Rui said, "That's great. I will help you fulfill your wish, Master."
The master bowed and said, "I thank you, Your Highness. Once I get what I want, I will definitely fulfill King Rui's wish."
"good."
King Rui clapped his hands and said happily, "If we work together, hahahaha... we will definitely get what we want."
The two of them were praising each other in the study, working together as if they had already achieved what they wanted.
In the imperial study, Emperor Dong Feng was so angry that he swept the memorials on the table all over the floor. His face was gloomy and he sat on the dragon throne panting heavily. He was so angry that he was about to die.
Did his ambition die in the womb?
Thinking of what the National Master said, Emperor Dong Feng pondered carefully in his heart. The National Master said that the theft in the capital and King Li both affected his conquest of the Three Kingdoms.
Isn’t it true? As soon as King Li came to the capital, there was a theft. It must have been done by him.
if……
An idea suddenly flashed through Dong Fenghuang's mind, and he immediately shouted into the air: "Someone come."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in black jumped out from nowhere and knelt in front of Dong Fenghuang: "Master."
A ruthless look flashed in the emperor's eyes. Nothing can be accomplished without ruthlessness. He said in hatred, "Take your men to the posthouse and burn it down. Remember, Prince Li and Princess Li live inside. I want them dead. Not a single one of them can escape. They must be burned to death inside. You can only succeed, not fail."
"Yes, Master."
After the man in black finished speaking, he disappeared.
Emperor Dong Feng looked at the departing man in black. His eyes were filled with cruelty and he looked so ferocious that people dared not look him in the face.
No one can stop him. He will kill gods and Buddhas if they stand in his way.
Eunuch Liu, who was standing in the corner, saw the Dong Fenghuang like this for the first time. He was so scared that he trembled, dared not breathe, and tried his best to reduce his presence.
He was afraid that the emperor would see his unknown side and would definitely kill him.
The emperor was now completely focused on the scene of Murong Li and Su Yue being burned to death, and he didn't care about Eunuch Liu next to him.
Eunuch Liu finally escaped from the disaster.
Emperor Dong Feng calmed down for a while, thinking that Murong Li and Su Yue were about to be burned to death, and that the one million taels of gold would definitely not be compensated, he glanced at Eunuch Liu and said, "Call the people from the Ministry of Revenue back to me, and tell them not to send the gold for the time being."
Eunuch Liu calmed himself down, took a long breath, and bowed, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will go right away."
After saying this, he fled out of the imperial study and headed straight for the national treasury.
Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Eunuch Liu was very nervous and wanted to retire and return home right now. He thought to himself that after this matter was over, he would bid farewell to the emperor. At his age, he could definitely retire and return home.
He wanted to live out his retirement for a few more years, but he was killed by the emperor for no apparent reason.
He hurried to the national treasury and immediately conveyed the Emperor Dong Feng's instructions.
Several Ministry of Revenue personnel who were counting in the national treasury were about to finish when the emperor told them not to send any more. They didn't understand what was going on and looked at each other in confusion.
What is going on? Doesn’t it require compensation?
If that's the case, that would be great. Even if we pay out a million taels of gold, the national treasury will be almost empty.
"Eunuch Liu, did the emperor say why?" someone couldn't help but ask.
Eunuch Liu didn't dare to tell the reason, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know, it was the emperor's order. My lords, please report quickly, the emperor is waiting."
Several people nodded, hurried out of the treasury and headed towards the imperial study.
Su Yue and Murong Li had lunch in the space before coming out. The Royal Guards were still guarding there like wooden stakes, and the gold that Emperor Dong Feng had promised had not been delivered.
"Then the emperor won't go back on his word, will he?"
Su Yue asked. She had seen Emperor Dong Feng ask the people from the Ministry of Revenue to deliver the gold as soon as possible.
"It's really hard to say."
Murong Li said slowly that it was actually very quick to count one million taels of gold. Whether it was gold bars or gold bricks, generally speaking, the weight was the same, and the number packed in the box was also the same. All he had to do was count them.
But it hasn't arrived yet at this time. He thought that because of what Yue'er did last night, it might be late.
He patted Su Yue and said, "Let's wait. We agreed on three days. If it's not delivered by the end of three days, then it won't be a matter of a million taels of gold."
Su Yue nodded, and the two of them closed the door. In that case, they might as well go into the space and wait.
It's snowing heavily in the capital today. It's already dark and it's still cold outside.
However, not long after they entered the space, several people in white cloaks came to the back of the inn like ghosts.
They burned kerosene on the windows and everywhere that could catch fire, without the Royal Guards in front noticing.
Then they threw out a few tinder sticks, and the kerosene began to crackle and burn as soon as it came into contact with fire.
