After the old man was forked out, he remained motionless.
Anyone with eyes can see the reason.
The trident not only pierced the old man's body as it threw him away, but also directly penetrated his body.
What appears to be a stream of water is actually incredibly powerful!
However, they couldn't understand how a dignified ninth-realm martial artist, a legendary being who could turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist, could die so hastily.
Just how powerful must this girl be?
In the imperial court, the smiles that had been on the faces of the elderly men were now impossible to maintain, or rather, they dared not maintain them.
They were afraid that King's Landing would discover that the old man they had just invited was someone they had brought.
However, in contrast, Gou Guan's mood had turned from gloomy to sunny, and at this moment, he even seemed to become arrogant.
His gaze toward the court officials was tinged with contempt and disdain, revealing a smug and self-satisfied air.
Those around Gou Guan were furious at his behavior, but there was nothing they could do.
Junlin yawned, looking at the little commotion below and feeling rather bored. "Why don't you guys start fighting already?"
Time passed second by second.
Junlin remained silent, as did the crowd below, who all kept their heads down as if afraid of being seen.
The court fell silent for a moment.
Before long, Junlin felt a little bored and suddenly stood up.
This movement startled everyone below.
They all wore expressions of tension and worry, wondering what Junlin intended to do.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Am I some kind of monster that makes you so afraid?!"
These words terrified the crowd below.
Only Gou Guan stood up and said, "Your Majesty is not a monster, but a sage ruler for all ages. These people have ulterior motives, and now that they see Your Majesty's wisdom, they will naturally be filled with fear."
Upon hearing this, everyone's murderous gazes immediately fell upon Gou Guan.
You beast!
How could they be accused of having ulterior motives!
Gou Guan merely smiled slightly at the gazes of the crowd, showing no fear whatsoever, and even a hint of enjoyment in his heart. He had never been so the center of attention before.
Junlin raised an eyebrow, looked down at Gou Guan and couldn't help but laugh. This little rascal is quite a scoundrel.
Do I have a grudge against these people? How dare they say such things to my face?
Unfortunately, he's in a good mood today.
In addition, Gou Guan just said that he is a sage ruler of all ages, so naturally he will not do anything to his beloved ministers who have just paid their taxes.
"This is boring. Court is adjourned. We'll discuss it again tomorrow!"
With a flick of his sleeve, Junlin turned and left the court.
There was nothing he could do; he really had nothing to talk about with these people, and they were afraid to talk to him about anything.
As soon as Junlin left, everyone in the court immediately turned their attention to Gou Guan.
As the emperor walked away, an elderly minister with gray hair stepped forward and rebuked him, "Gou Guan! What did you mean by that just now? Are you trying to get us killed?!"
Gou Guan sneered indifferently, "What do you mean? Do you think you don't know what I mean? Besides, you all know in your hearts whether you have ulterior motives or not!"
"Gou Guan, you beast! Do you really think he's some kind of emperor?!" someone couldn't help but shout angrily.
"How dare you! Does this gentleman think His Majesty is unworthy to sit in this position?" Gou Guan roared angrily, showing no mercy.
Upon hearing this, those who were about to speak were all taken aback.
I understand completely.
This bastard is determined to be King's Landing's dog!
I can't stand it! I can't stand even a little bit!
...
The treasure vault of the Chixiao Empire.
King's Landing was preparing to leave, and before leaving, he made a point of coming to this place to loot it.
After all, it was the treasure trove of an empire.
The amount of resources here should not disappoint him.
And that is indeed the case.
After E'yan helped demolish the treasure vault, what came into view was a mountain of various resources.
The lowest rank is fourth grade, and there are quite a few even at the eighth or ninth grade.
At a glance, there were even a few demonic magical artifacts mixed in.
There are two Soul Refining Banners alone.
Without the slightest hesitation, Junlin began to plunder the resources in the treasure vault, filling several spatial rings before emptying it.
"Brother-in-law, aren't you going to be emperor anymore?" Errou asked curiously, since she had only been emperor for less than two days.
"I'm quitting, it's pointless." Junlin shook his head.
No joke, people say that if he were to become emperor, he would only be a tyrant.
If you asked him to play the beacon fire game with the feudal lords, he could pull it off in a heartbeat.
But to expect him to be a diligent and virtuous ruler, well, that's beyond my opinion.
Er Yan wasn't surprised at all; after all, that's just how Jun Lin is—he only has a three-minute burst of enthusiasm for everything.
After emptying the Chi Xiao Empire's treasury, Jun Lin left the palace with Er Rou and Er Yan.
Outside the palace, Gou Guan walked along the road with a bruised and swollen face.
While rubbing his injured face, he cursed under his breath, remembering all the officials who had hit him that day.
When I go to court tomorrow, I'll definitely submit a proper report to them!
Let those ungrateful bastards know the consequences of offending him, the emperor's most loyal dog!
Just as Gou Guan was thinking this, he saw his Emperor Junlin walking out of the palace with two beloved concubines.
He hurriedly went up to them, his face full of flattery, and said, "Your Majesty, are you out on an incognito visit? Would you like me to accompany you?"
Junlin stopped and frowned as he looked at Gou Guan, whose face was bruised and swollen. He asked, "Who did you send that to?"
Gou Guan then remembered that he had been beaten so badly that even his own mother might not recognize him.
While cursing those bastards in his heart, he quickly explained, "Your Majesty, I am Gou Guan, a surname bestowed upon me by Your Majesty."
Junlin then understood, his eyes revealing a hint of disdain, "What's wrong with you?"
Upon hearing this, Gou Guan immediately knelt before Jun Lin, crying out, "Your Majesty, you don't know! Those people saw how loyal I was to Your Majesty, and they couldn't stand it! They ganged up on me and attacked me!"
Not only did they beat him up, but they also stole all his healing pills, leaving him with a pig's head and running around everywhere.
Seeing this, Junlin feigned anger and said, "Hmph! How outrageous! You remember the people who hit you, right?"
"I remember, I remember everything!" Gou Guan nodded repeatedly. He remembered everything clearly and was just waiting to get his revenge!
"Hmm, good that you remember. Give me the list at the morning court tomorrow. Now, you can get out of here. Don't interfere with my shopping trip with my concubines," Junlin said, waving his hand.
"Yes, Your Majesty! This humble subject will depart immediately!"
Gou Guan was overjoyed and without the slightest hesitation, he lay down on the ground and rolled away.
"Haha." Errou couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw this. "Brother-in-law, are you really going to help him teach those people a lesson tomorrow?"
"I'm not going."
