This is the emperor...
They would never have dared to dream of seeing the emperor so close in their entire lives...
Now they've caught us.
So even emperors are nothing special after all!
Just as he was thinking this, the chief chief casually tossed the emperor aside.
Upon seeing the disheveled Marquis of Yongning on the ground, his face showed anger.
He looks very angry.
"Who told you to turn my father into this horrible state?!"
Everyone's expression froze.
W-what?
The Marquis of Yongning is actually the head of the gang's father?!
Niu Er, who had just searched the Marquis of Yongning, knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down his face.
"I was blind and ignorant, I offended Your Excellency! Boss, please spare my life!! Boss!! I truly didn't know this Marquis was your father!! Please forgive me this time, for the sake of my unwavering loyalty!? Waaah..."
As soon as he knelt down, all the bandits, including Niu Da, knelt down in unison to plead for Niu Er.
"Boss, Mr. Lan taught us a saying: 'Ignorance is no excuse,' please forgive us this time!"
Yu Shuang's expression softened.
"Ignorance is no excuse? You've certainly learned that saying. I'll let you off the hook this time, since you've put your knowledge to good use."
The bandits were overjoyed.
Thank you, Mr. Lan!
We will definitely cooperate with literacy classes from now on and will never make you angry again.
Yu Shuang glanced indifferently at the Marquis of Yongning, who was pretending to be asleep.
"Why aren't you hurrying up and tidying up my father's clothes?"
Two henchmen hurriedly went to help someone tidy up their clothes.
Yu Shuang stepped forward and called out to her father with a worried expression.
Marquis Yongning then feigned sobriety, his sharp gaze falling on Yu Shuang's face, and he let out a cold snort.
"Who is your father? You kidnapped me..."
He paused, his pupils dilating in shock as he caught a glimpse of a bright figure out of the corner of his eye.
With a trembling hand, he pointed to the emperor lying beside him and said furiously:
"How dare you! You actually kidnapped His Majesty and brought him here!!"
Yu Shuang blinked her innocent eyes:
"Father...please listen to me first..."
Marquis Yongning reacted violently: "Shut up! I am not your father!!"
This beast not only kidnapped him, but he also dared to abduct the emperor. I can't acknowledge this relative even if I'm beaten to death.
Otherwise, the Yu family will be doomed.
Yu Shuang showed no anger whatsoever; instead, she patiently explained:
"Father, it's okay if you don't admit it, but blood is thicker than water, that's an indisputable fact, isn't it?"
Without a second thought, Marquis Yongning denied their blood relation, trying to absolve himself of all responsibility.
At their age, they're all cunning and shrewd; who knows, the one lying on the ground might already be fully conscious.
We can't afford to give anyone a handle to use against us.
Yu Shuang remained very patient.
"Don't you remember when you sent your steward to the prison to give me some pointers?"
Marquis Yongning was taken aback.
It seems there is such a thing, but it's not some kind of guidance.
He sent his steward to ensure that his daughter, who was blind to the situation and overconfident, would die knowing why.
"After the butler's advice, I realized how foolish I had been. For my own selfish gain, I almost ruined my father's and the Yu family's reputation. I really shouldn't have done that."
It's good that you understand.
Marquis Yongning wholeheartedly agreed with this statement.
"I know I have no special talents, I have no face to be my father's daughter, and I can't help my father in any way, so I feel very ashamed."
That's a nice thing to hear.
But what does this have to do with the abduction of him and the emperor to this place?
Yu Shuang continued:
"Just when I was feeling ashamed, I was fortunate enough to be taken in as a disciple by Gu Tongtong, the number one martial arts master in the world, who taught me unparalleled martial arts. Now I am the number one in the world, and I have also secretly trained a group of unparalleled masters for my father, who have come here to lend me a hand."
Marquis Yongning's heart skipped a beat.
"What do you mean by 'helping me out'?!"
Yu Shuang kicked the middle-aged man on the ground who was wearing bright clothes.
The sight made Marquis Yongning's eyelids twitch violently.
He prayed frantically in his heart that His Majesty the Emperor was truly unconscious.
Otherwise, even nine lives wouldn't be enough to quell the rage from that kick.
"Father, the throne rotates among emperors, and this year it's my turn. Any one of my men could easily take the head of a general amidst a vast army. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to abduct you and the emperor from the heavily guarded imperial mausoleum compound..."
What can that imposter offer Father? Isn't he just using marriage to find a backer? I can give Father the world!! We'll be that backer ourselves! ..."
The first sentence made Marquis Yongning tremble with fear, and he dared not listen to what followed.
Even if there's some truth to what comes later.
But he would never dare to think about it.
"You...you are utterly rebellious! Shut up!! I am utterly loyal to His Majesty and have absolutely no intention of betraying him! Just give up on that idea!"
His ambitions are great, but not to that extent!
That rebellious daughter!
Do you want them all to be buried with Yu Shuang before you're satisfied?
Yu Shuang's expression was somewhat unpleasant, and her tone left no room for argument:
"Father, even that imposter has helped you a lot, so naturally I can't lose to her. What your daughter gives you is naturally the best in the world. Just accept it! We're all family, so don't be polite with me!"
Her words sounded like those of a junior vying for favor with an elder, and then, out of jealousy of another likeable junior, she was determined to go all out.
He wouldn't listen to anyone's advice.
No matter who comes, it won't work.
The veins on the forehead of the Marquis of Yongning throbbed.
What sins did he commit to deserve such retribution?!
