If it were his subordinates, they would have certainly not spared anyone, big or small, after his assassination. But this emperor was always carefree and preferred to avoid trouble if possible. The most important reason was that the emperor still remembered the scene he saw when he was dizzy and disoriented after the fall: the handsome man in black armor sitting next to him had horns on his head, a tail behind him, silver hair, and golden vertical pupils!
Although the man now has black hair and black eyes, and there is nothing abnormal about his head and buttocks, after Yin Chen tested him by saying "brave man" when he entered, the man's superb martial arts skills made him certain that this must be the non-human he had seen before.
—Although the other's horns and tails were slightly different colors, Yin Chen was not so incomprehensible as to not recognize what the horns and tails of the creatures embroidered on the clothes he wore every day looked like.
After confirming the other party's identity, and seeing the harmonious scene of the three of them playing games together just now (...), Yin Chen, for the purpose of befriending this person, lightly let go of Chen Ziqi's assassination, a crime that could be punishable by the extermination of nine generations of his family.
As for his relatives, he wasn't in a hurry to make a move. If those who coveted his position made a move, he could conveniently add some silver to the national treasury; it would be a waste to kill them before they were fattened up.
...After all, he's the emperor. No matter how foolish he may seem, he's perfectly aware of everything. And things like family ties are meaningless in the face of a ruthless person like the emperor.
However, Yin Chen also realized that he was still amazed by Long Xun back then, and his mood didn't seem to have improved. If he hadn't been an emperor for so long and had become so shrewd, he really wouldn't have been able to take his eyes off Long Xun.
Could it be true love? If that's the case, then we can't let this dragon go...
Yin Chen pondered inwardly, but maintained a harmless smile on his face as he said, "Although the misunderstanding has been cleared up, all the people around me have been killed by Miss Chen's companions, and I am powerless to fight back. It may not be safe for me to go back now... Brother Long, Miss Gu, Miss Chen, I wonder if you could trouble you to escort me back to the capital?"
The Gu woman curled her lip and said, "Do you still need an escort? Just go to the government office, reveal your identity, and they'll treat you like royalty."
Yin Chen was not surprised that they knew his identity, and explained amicably, "When you're traveling and don't know anyone, the government officials probably won't recognize you."
Gu Nu: "..." No doubt about it, she definitely won't admit it.
Imagine a young man who is handsome and has a decent demeanor suddenly goes to the government office and says, "I am the emperor, I want to return to the capital, please send someone to escort me..." This is similar to someone in modern times running up to the government building and saying, "I am the president of the country." You'd be lucky if they didn't beat you up.
Oh no, in modern times we have TV, photos, and Baidu (a Chinese search engine), so anyone who's interested in seeing the faces of national leaders knows what they look like. But in ancient times, there was no such thing. Arrest warrants were drawn like Picasso's, so how could local officials possibly know what the emperor looked like?
Before Yin Chen could finish speaking, he was still smiling and looking worried for them: "Besides, even if I return to the capital, I will still send people to investigate the case as a formality. If this Miss Chen doesn't come to the capital, she might be offended by some of my less knowledgeable subordinates. If we leave together, we can avoid that."
Gu Nu: "..." The other party's reasoning was too sound, she couldn't refute him at all! And wasn't that sentence in the middle a threat? It must be a threat, right? Looking at this kid's friendly and sincere appearance, I never expected him to be such a black-hearted sesame-filled bun!
Seeing that this person was using his own problem to make things difficult for his fellow villager, Chen Ziqi's voice grew even colder and harder: "You don't need to worry about me. Anyone who dares to cause trouble can ask my sword!"
Yin Chen glanced at Chen Ziqi with a helpless look that said, "You're so stubborn," and softened his voice, saying, "The three of you, please help me out. I'll give you a reward... What do you say, Xun?"
So quickly you've gone from calling him Young Master Long to Brother Long and now you're just calling him Ah Xun!
Your overly familiarity is a bit too much!
Have some shame!
You're the emperor, for crying out loud!
Don't tarnish the reputation of the highest-ranking positions in feudal society!
Throughout history, there have been countless emperors, some incompetent rulers known for their decadence and debauchery, others tyrants known for their cruelty and ruthlessness, and still others wise rulers known for their diligence and hard work. But I've never seen one known for being shameless!
The Gu woman's incredulous gaze did not cause Yin Chen any harm; the smiling, handsome emperor was still staring at Long Xun.
It's obvious that among the three, Long Xun is the one who truly makes the decisions. Yin Chen had just spoken amicably with the two girls to try and gain their favor, but it would have been better to tell Long Xun when it came to actually making the final decision.
And Long Xun... do you all remember his purpose in coming to this world? It wasn't to watch any main storyline.
Long Xun's goal is to ensure that this world safely passes through the time reversal point and evolves into a real world. If the emperor of this world suddenly encounters some problem, then without a doubt, the world will fall into chaos, and the evolution will become nothing but empty talk.
So after Yin Chen threw the question at him, Long Xun loosely clenched his fingers, trapping the milk tea in his palm, and after a moment of contemplation, said, "I'll go with you."
The Gu woman, tears welling in her eyes, looked at the Dragon God with grief and indignation… Was the Dragon God about to be kidnapped? She still remembered his shameless confession, my dear!!
To protect the Dragon God's chastity (lol), Gu Nu wiped her face and immediately changed her tune: "In that case, Chen Ziqi and I will go together too."
Chen Ziqi stared coldly at Yin Chen for a long time, then snorted and acquiesced.
"After saying goodbye to Hua Manlou tomorrow, we will set off." With these words, Long Xun sealed the deal.
