Ch 58: Karma! He Actually Killed The Prince!
Cannot kill!
Lin Che quickly reached a judgment; the reason was simple.
Even if he attacked them all at once, before his True Qi was depleted, many of these three hundred men would definitely escape.
Most importantly, he saw a familiar figure in the crowd, Wen Wu yang.
He couldn’t possibly kill Wen Hong’s granddaughter.
If he cannot continue killing, then he must continue to think about a way out.
Especially, the mysterious bag on him was definitely treasure and could not be kept on his person.
Should he find a place to hide it?
That would definitely not work; this matter would certainly alarm Her Majesty the Empress, and Chi Feiwan would also be furious, ultimately sending countless martial artists to the scene.
This thing is probably impossible to hide.
Lin Che gritted his teeth; it seemed he could only gamble.
He immediately turned back and began searching around. After a while, he found a bird’s nest in a tree fork. Inside were two particularly cute chicks.
Lin Che quickly scooped up the bird’s nest, quickly stuffed the bag inside, then found some dry grass to cushion it, and put the two chicks back.
In this way, carrying the bird’s nest, he strode forward.
The martial artists from the prominent clans had already encountered the fleeing embassy martial artists. The embassy martial artists seemed to distrust the Daqian people, only shouting loudly and not allowing anyone to approach.
Lin Che found his opportunity and shouted to Wen Wu yang:
“Miss Wu yang, you’re here too!”
Wen Wu yang was currently sitting on her warhorse, dressed in fiery red garments. Her delicate face was flushed, obviously very excited from the journey.
She sized up Lin Che, then frowned and asked: “What happened? Why did that person say you killed the Yan Yun Kingdom Prince? Did Gong Chengyin really die?”
“Yes, but it’s a long story. I must go see Your Majesty immediately. Will you accompany me?” Lin Che extended the invitation.
Wen Wu yang, though usually willful and capricious, understood the seriousness of the situation this time and quickly asked:
“Did you kill him? As the Deputy Grand Master of Ceremonies, you actually killed Gong Chengyin? You’re going to be beheaded! Do you know that?”
She glanced around; Zhen Guo Mansion guards were everywhere. She whispered:
“You should escape!”
“No need. Your Majesty is wise and will understand my good intentions!”
Lin Che didn’t explain much and immediately went back with Wen Wu yang.
On the way, Lin Che pretended to be casual and handed the bird’s nest to Wen Wu yang:
“I’ll probably be taken back for questioning by Your Majesty later. I really like this nest of birds; will you take care of them for a few days?”
Wen Wu yang didn’t think much of it and casually accepted it.
“Are you really sure you can handle this? It was Gong Chengyin who died. Should I send someone to tell my grandfather…?”
“No. No one can help me with this. Remember this. I intend to raise these two birds, so take good care of them and return them to me exactly as they are when we leave. Also, they are so small, they are most afraid of the smell of people’s hands, don’t touch them. Just keep them in the bird’s nest…”
“Alright, alright. Take care of yourself first.”
Lin Che wanted to say more, but there were too many people around, so he couldn’t continue.
The mysterious bag was given to Wen Wu yang; at least he knew it was in her hands.
He would have a direction to search later.
If he buried it in this barren mountain and wild field, and later went to look for it, it would be gone.
He wouldn’t even know who took it.
The group’s speed returning to the city was not slow, and it wasn’t long before they reached Lu Shi Ping.
Upon arriving, everyone stopped abruptly.
Because at this time, Lu Shi Ping was densely packed with people, among them the ceremonial canopy umbrella symbolizing the Empress’s procession.
It proved that Empress Jiang Li had also arrived here.
At this time.
The fleeing embassy martial artist had already knelt down, reporting in a distraught voice:
“Your Imperial Majesty, every word I say is true, without a single falsehood. Lin Che killed the Sixteenth Prince and pursued us relentlessly; he has gone mad. Your Imperial Majesty, as long as you order his arrest, you will know that every word I say is true!”
Everyone present turned pale.
Initially, they had heard that a battle had taken place at Lu Shi Ping, with two groups directly ambushing Gong Chengyin, resulting in countless casualties โ something absolutely unacceptable.
Therefore, Jiang Li personally led the court officials into the hunting grounds and came to Lu Shi Ping.
But unexpectedly, before the Lu Shi Ping incident was clarified, an embassy martial artist returned carrying Gong Chengyin’s head. He wept and knelt before them, loudly proclaiming that Lin Che had killed Gong Chengyin.
Chi Feiwan’s face was as ugly as it could be. She stepped forward to pick up Gong Chengyin’s head and turned sharply:
“Jiang Chili, what do you mean by this? Our Yan Yun Kingdom embassy came here to show goodwill to your Daqian. The Sixteenth Prince came personally, yet he was killed like this!”
“Even in wartime, envoys are not killed! What grudges do we have with Daqian that require this method to kill our prince? Do you really not care about our Yan Yun Kingdom?”
Jiang Li’s expression was also cold; she didn’t answer immediately.
After all, she knew the inside story. Fei Sanzhu gave Lin Che two million and asked Lin Che to strike Gong Chengyin.
Could it be that Lin Che really killed someone?
Whether the two countries would go to war was for her to decide, for the civil and military officials to discuss.
Now Lin Che had directly killed Gong Chengyin, completely disrupting all her plans!
She had given Lin Che a secret edict; Lin Che could not possibly have been unaware that Gong Chengyin absolutely could not be killed like this.
“Humph!! Disobedient son, karma!”
Lin Pojun, standing aside, cursed angrily, shouting: “This karma, he actually killed someone privately, he actually killed the prince! This is blatant disregard for Imperial Law, he doesn’t put Your Majesty in his eyes at all!”
“My Lin Family has no such lawless person!!”
“Everyone here, please be my witness. Lin Che, this son, has committed a heinous crime. I cannot condone him. From today on, his actions have nothing to do with my Lin Family.”
“Whether he is killed or executed, even if he is cut into five pieces, do not consider my Duke Zhen Guo’s face. In the future, my Zhen Guo Mansion will absolutely not retaliate.”
“This karma! Serves him right! He deserves to die!”
