Chapter 240 Xiao Jiwu will be so worried if he can’t find you when he comes back!
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingshi's expression in the dark instantly became extremely ugly.
He really didn't expect these people to be so shameless!
If they can't find him, they're going to attack others!
Yun Qingshi's five fingers, which were resting on the tiles, unconsciously tightened and clenched into fists. A rare flash of hatred flashed in his eyes...
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingde hurried forward to explain again: "This is unacceptable. Ying Shiyi is really not at home right now. You two have already searched. I did not lie..."
Eunuch Liu hesitantly addressed the deputy commander, "This...but His Majesty only ordered Ying Eleven to be brought into the palace, and did not issue any other decrees."
After hearing this, the deputy commander surnamed Zhang said coldly again, "Eunuch Liu, if we can't bring the person back, His Majesty will be furious, and it will be you and me who will be punished. Think it over before you make a decision."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Liu fell silent. After struggling for a moment, he finally nodded and said, "Then let's do as Deputy Commander Zhang says. Except for the women, arrest all the men in Prince Yi's mansion."
Seeing this, Zhang Li added coldly, "Listen, anyone who dares to disobey orders will be killed without mercy."
"yes."
After receiving the order, the armored Yulin soldiers set out to various places to capture people.
The first person to suffer in the yard was Changshun. He was violently dragged to his knees, but he gritted his teeth and didn't utter a word.
"You're so stubborn, I think you don't want to live anymore!"
"It's better to confess the truth..."
In the dark, Yun Qingshi saw this scene and could not remain indifferent. He could no longer hide and immediately wanted to jump off the roof in a hurry.
He couldn't bear to see Changshun get hurt because of him, and if he didn't leave, it would be more than just Changshun who would suffer.
He would not harm Zhao Mingde, so he just said that he had just rushed back.
But just as Yun Qingshi was about to move, Ye Runan at his side held his shoulder.
Ye Runan lowered his voice and spoke hurriedly, "You should know that the emperor wouldn't summon you to the palace for no reason. If you go, Xiao Jiwu will be so worried if he can't find you when he comes back!"
How could Yun Qingshi not know this?
But how could he ignore others!
Yun Qingshi avoided Ye Runan's gaze and spoke softly, "But I can't implicate my brothers. We are all human beings. Who is more noble than the other? They are all living lives, and they are my brothers and friends who see me every day."
"It's okay. Maybe things aren't that bad. Maybe the emperor just wants to see me. Maybe when Xiao Jiwu comes back, I'll be sent back too..."
But everyone knows that this is just a lie.
Ye Runan still had no intention of letting go: "I can't let you go."
At this moment, the deputy commander suddenly stepped forward, drew his sword, and pointed it at Changshun's neck, asking viciously, "Tell me, where is Ying Shiyi hiding?"
The sharp blade cut through the flesh, and blood instantly flowed out from Changshun's neck, but he had no intention of answering from beginning to end.
Although he is not a promising man, he would never do anything treacherous.
Seeing this, Zhao Mingde also stepped forward anxiously to persuade him: "Deputy Commander Zhang, this is His Royal Highness Prince Yi's attendant, you can't do this!"
After hearing this, the deputy commander said coldly, "So what if I'm Prince Yi's attendant? I'm following His Majesty's orders."
"Speak, or I'll kill you!"
After seeing this scene, Yun Qingshi no longer cared to say anything more.
In a flash, he quickly broke free from Ye Runan's hand, jumped down, and used his lightness skills to quickly enter the yard, draw his sword, and open the sharp blade in Zhang Li's hand.
The sword was blocked, and Zhang Li was immediately furious. He instinctively swung his sword and stabbed at Yun Qingshi: "Who are you? How dare you offend me!"
Yun Qingshi quickly dodged the sword and said coldly, "You came looking for me, but you couldn't even recognize me?"
Hearing this, Zhang Li hurriedly put away his sword and asked, "Are you Prince Yi's bodyguard, Ying Shiyi?"
Although he knew that the man would most likely not come out alive once he entered the palace, he must not die at his hands before the emperor summoned him.
Yun Qingshi had already come forward, so he didn't intend to hide anything. Upon hearing this, he spoke frankly and coldly, "Yes, I just rushed back home and heard that you were looking for me, so I came here."
On the ground, Changshun's eyes were red when he saw this: "Master Eleven..."
A hint of anxiety flashed in Zhao Mingde's eyes.
After all, he failed to protect Ying Shiyi.
I just hope that their prince can come back as soon as possible after receiving the letter.
Ying San immediately went to deliver the message, but the camp was remote and far away, and it would take him until dark at the earliest to get back...
Zhang Li did not believe it, so he turned to ask Eunuch Liu who was not far away: "Eunuch Liu, come and take a look, is it him?"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Liu quickly went over to glance at Yun Qingshi and nodded, "It's him, that's right."
Zhang Li sheathed his sword and spoke again to Yun Qingshi, "Ying Shiyi, the Emperor has summoned you. Follow us into the palace immediately. If you dare to disobey, you will be disobeying the Emperor. I advise you not to struggle any further."
After hearing this, Yun Qingshi glanced at the other person with disgust, said nothing, and turned towards the door.
Zhang Li frowned upon seeing this, with anger evident on his face, but he did not say much. He simply waved his hand to signal the Yulin Army to withdraw.
Soon, a row of Yulin soldiers stood on each side of Yun Qingshi, surrounding him tightly in the middle.
Yun Qingshi was too lazy to take another look and just walked straight towards the entrance of the palace.
After walking for a while, Yun Qingshi suddenly stopped.
Zhang Li immediately became alert upon seeing this: "What are you going to do?"
Yun Qingshi was too lazy to pay attention to Zhang Li. He just looked in a certain direction and then said, "Twelve, come here."
Ying Twelve, who was hiding in the dark, thought that Yun Qingshi was planning to break out. When he heard the sound, he immediately showed up and drew his sword at the numerous Yulin soldiers.
Seeing this, the Yulin Army also drew their swords vigilantly and pointed them at Ying Twelve.
Yun Qingshi shook his head at Ying Twelve and said, "Go back and don't follow me."
He didn't know what the road ahead would be like, so how could he let Ying Twelve follow him?
He knew that if he didn't call Ying Twelve out, Ying Twelve would definitely follow him into the palace no matter what.
So, this was also a helpless move on his part.
Ying Twelve was filled with regret when he heard the voice, and wanted to speak anxiously.
Seeing this, Yun Qingshi shook his head again, then raised his foot and walked forward again.
Ying Twelve's eyes turned red with anxiety, but there was nothing he could do even if he regretted it.
His whereabouts have been exposed, so there is definitely no way he can follow him.
————
Yun Qingshi thought that he was about to be taken into the palace, but he didn't expect that there were several carriages parked in front of the palace gate.
Eunuch Liu also stepped forward at the right time and said to Yun Qingshi: "Ying Shiyi, get in the car."
After hearing this, Yun Qingshi got on the carriage without any hesitation.
He thought that going in a carriage was better than being forced to walk.
Soon after Yun Qingshi sat down, the carriage started moving. Alone in the enclosed space, the calmness and composure he had just pretended to have gradually dissipated.
How could he not be afraid, knowing full well that the emperor had no good intentions in meeting him?
He also knew that this trip would probably be dangerous.
But he was more worried about Xiao Jiwu. What would happen to Xiao Jiwu if the worst result happened?
Yun Qingshi didn't dare to think about it.
But he had no choice.
Now that I think about it, Xiao Jiwu's visit to the camp was probably a deliberate move by the emperor...
While his thoughts were in chaos, the wind blew open a corner of the car curtain. Yun Qingshi looked over and happened to see the palace gate getting closer and closer.
It's coming, he thought.
Yun Qingshi unconsciously tightened the cushion beneath him, closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down.
Even if he was going to die, he had to have backbone and must not let the dog emperor be proud, Yun Qingshi warned himself.
Shortly after entering the palace gate, Yun Qingshi was taken off the carriage and escorted by several Yulin soldiers to a certain direction.
Finally, he was brought to a grand palace.
Eunuch Liu immediately spoke up, "Ying Shiyi, please wait here. I'll go in and inform them first."
Hearing this, Yun Qingshi rolled his eyes and ignored him.
Eunuch Liu quickly entered the hall, and after a moment he returned to the doorway and spoke to Yun Qingshi, "Ying Eleven, His Majesty orders you to enter the hall immediately."
