Lu Zifeng took Situ Hao and rushed towards the palace gate. Situ Hao was still a little confused at this time. He didn't know why Lu Zifeng grabbed him like this. When he ran again, he guessed that someone was trying to assassinate him again, and he suddenly felt exhausted.
For the sake of Situ Hao's safety, Lu Zifeng turned at an intersection and ran towards another road, which stunned the people who were lying in ambush here to assassinate Situ Hao.
The leader of the men in black was stunned for a moment, then changed his tone.
"Now we have no choice but to fight to the death. Let's quickly head to the palace gate. No matter which way they go, they must enter through the palace gate."
Lu Zifeng took Situ Hao not through the palace gate, but went directly to the house near his own palace. There was a small door leading to the palace. Usually eunuchs and palace maids walked through there, and few people would notice this place.
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Zifeng brought Situ Hao to the small gate. The two did not alarm the guards at the gate. Lu Zifeng took Situ Hao and used his speed ability to climb over the wall and enter the palace.
Situ Hao looked at Lu Zifeng in surprise. He always knew that Lu Zifeng was powerful, but today he saw with his own eyes that Lu Zifeng could not only carry him up the wall, but also did so at an incredible speed.
When Lu Zifeng brought him to Qianyuan Hall, he still hadn't come back to his senses. This made Lu Zifeng roll his eyes.
"Alright, we've arrived at Qianyuan Hall. Let's go in quickly! I have to go back too."
After Lu Zifeng finished speaking, he turned around and left. He had already sent Situ Hao safely to the palace, and his mission was completed. If he stayed here any longer, he would probably have more work to do, so it would be better to leave quickly.
But the more you fear something, the more it will come. Lu Zifeng had just taken a few steps when he heard a eunuch say.
"Prince Xuanjing's son Situ Hao and Duke Dingguo's son Lu Zifeng come to see you."
Lu Zifeng exclaimed in his heart, "Fuck!" and had to stop, but he turned around helplessly and glanced at Situ Hao who was looking at him with a gloating look.
"Humph, just gloat over my misfortune!"
The two of them entered the Qianyuan Hall together. It was the time for court. Lu Zifeng had just thought that this was a good time. He was not qualified to attend the court, so he could just go back. But who knew that now he had no choice but to go in.
The two entered the hall, where Emperor Situ Yongzheng sat on the dragon throne. Because the distance was far, if Lu Zifeng did not have his mental power, it would be really difficult to see the emperor's true appearance here.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I, Situ Hao, and Lu Zifeng, pay my respects to you, your Majesty."
"Well, get up, Prince Jing, is everything settled?"
Situ Hao took two steps forward, took out a memorial from his arms, bowed and handed it over.
"Your Majesty, I have thoroughly investigated the matter. Please review it."
The chief eunuch beside Situ Yong stepped forward, took the memorial, turned around and delivered it to Situ Yong who was sitting at the top.
Situ Yong took the memorial with a serious expression and looked down at it.
Lu Zifeng actually didn't know what Situ Hao was doing this time, but he guessed it was probably about the affairs of Prince Qing, so he used his mental power to directly pay attention to Prince Qing's every move.
At this time, Prince Qing was already sweating profusely. He really didn't expect that after sending out more than a dozen waves of assassins in the past few days, they still failed. He knew more than ten days ago that Situ Hao had found evidence that he had raised private soldiers, so he asked his men to find assassins to kill Situ Hao in the past ten days, but he didn't expect that they failed, allowing Situ Hao to return to the capital safely.
He knew that after the emperor read the memorial, he would probably be exposed soon. It seemed that he would have to go back and prepare to leave the capital. Once he had coordinated everything, it would be time to take back his throne.
When Lu Zifeng saw this, he knew that things had probably reached a critical moment, but he didn't know what the emperor and his uncle were going to do.
After reading the memorial, Situ Yong looked at the ministers below with an expressionless face.
"Prince Jing, you've done a good job. You can go back first! Take a good rest these few days, Prince Dingguo."
When Lu Zifeng heard the emperor calling him, he quickly stepped forward and bowed.
"I am here."
"Well, you've done very well recently. Let's postpone your trip to the city's west camp! Stay in the palace for the next few days and stay by my side!"
Lu Zifeng was also stunned when he heard this, but now was not the time to ask this, so he said.
"I obey the decree."
After Situ Hao and Lu Zifeng left Qianyuan Hall, they stood outside the store.
"Okay, you better go home now! As for me, it looks like I'll have to stay here for a few more days."
Situ Hao smiled and patted Lu Zifeng on the shoulder.
"Thank you for your protection these past few days. Do you want me to send a message to the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion to let them know you're back?"
Lu Zifeng shook his head.
"My uncle is in there! You don't need to make a trip."
Watching Situ Hao walking away, Lu Zifeng leaned against the wall and thought about the emperor's intention of asking him to stay. He thought about it over and over again but couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up thinking about it.
He looked up at the group of people who had entered in front of him. There were men and women, young and old. He had no idea what they were doing. Soon, he heard a muffled sound coming from inside. Lu Zifeng was startled and looked inside. He saw the deputy commander of the emperor's Yulin Army competing with a strong man from the group who had just entered.
Lu Zifeng couldn't see clearly from the outside, so he could only use his mental power. As soon as he saw it, Lu Zifeng knew that the deputy commander was no match for this strong man. This strong man seemed to have practiced external martial arts, which was more like the wrestling of the Mongolians in later generations. The strong man was extremely strong, and the deputy commander's punches had no effect on him.
The deputy commander was also very depressed at this time. This man was like a solid wall of iron and steel. His fists hit him, and they hurt, but the man just reached out and brushed him off without any concern.
Situ Yong, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was also a little surprised at this time. It was really embarrassing that the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard Yulin Army could not defeat a barbarian warrior. However, the matter had developed to this point, and it was not a good time to stop it.
The Tatar prince laughed heartily.
"Emperor Dayu, are your warriors really like this? This really puzzles me. How did you manage to capture my brother? Did you resort to some dishonorable means?"
Situ Yong chuckled upon hearing this. "The Tatar Crown Prince is truly too narcissistic. There are many people like the Deputy Commander in our Dayu Dynasty, but they are all serving in the military. My nephew is waiting outside the palace. If the Tatar Crown Prince insists on another competition, then I will let him in to compete with your warrior, how about that?"
