Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 363 - 361: The Wonders of the Carriage
Chapter 363: Chapter 361: The Wonders of the Carriage
After all, this troop had embraced a belief at its inception, which was to execute orders without fail.
In the first lesson upon entering the Nanshan Guards, one learns what it means when they say military orders are as weighty as mountains.
At the sound of a command, even if there’s a mountain of blades or a sea of flames ahead, you must jump into it without hesitation.
It is precisely because of this creed that, despite the hellish scenes within, these people still charged in without looking back upon receiving an order.
Once inside, amidst the utter mess, enduring a strong sense of revulsion, they still began to check the status of every single individual present.
Because the orders from above were clear that no one from today’s events was allowed to remain in this world, not a sliver of information could be leaked.
In a word, this troublesome matter was not to become known to a second soul.
After a thorough search, they indeed found some who had slipped through the net.
These individuals, though they were covered with wounds, were unanimously not in life-threatening conditions.
This brought a long sigh of relief from the leader.
It was fortunate that after seeing the scene inside, they had come back in and tidied up after overcoming their nausea.
Otherwise, if the matter had actually been discovered and escaped by the enemy, there would be trouble for themselves.
At one command, everyone immediately raised their weapons and helped those severely wounded to end their agony sooner.
After checking several times and finding no one overlooked, the leader gave an order, and they set the dilapidated temple ablaze.
Only after watching the temple reduced to ashes did these people turn and leave.
Although their military careers were not long, they had learned much more than others.
They knew well that orders had to be executed thoroughly.
Just like the matter of today, if they had left rashly and allowed these few to cling to life, it would have likely implicated many others.
Moreover, today’s battle was a baptism of blood for them.
After today’s events, the gleam in their eyes had become even more resolute.
Such a metamorphosis couldn’t be achieved in ordinary times but only through a baptism of blood.
It can be said that from this moment on, this troop had truly come of age. ƒreewebɳovel.com
After all was done, they did not continue on but chose to return the way they had come.
Of course, two days after they left, the Sixth Prince’s men arrived at the ruins of the temple, albeit too late.
However, upon seeing the signs of the temple ravaged by the fire, they couldn’t help but frown and wave their hands, choosing to leave without investigating further.
In their eyes, this had nothing to do with what they were seeking.
Nor did they imagine that within this ruined temple lay the final resting place of that group of barbarians.
In a nutshell, they calmly continued their journey towards the Border.
When they were about to reach the Border, Lin Yi’s Nanshan Guards had already returned to the Nanshan Base.
As for the court, subtle shifts had occurred.
Since the day of the contest, the Emperor’s words had gained considerable weight.
No one dared to openly oppose him anymore.
Perhaps there were many with valid opinions, but with Lin Yi’s deterrence and the hard-won victory, everyone chose to keep their mouths shut.
As the saying goes, "A new official fires up thrice," and what more for an Emperor!
No one wanted to be burned at this time.
Even when the young Emperor issued the order to the Ministry of Revenue to allocate Silver Coin and requested the Ministry of War to dispense weapons to the Nanshan Guards.
Both complied without hesitation, bowing and accepting the orders.
It was a joke, at this time the Fourth Prince was barely able to protect himself, how many would dare openly stand with him?
Now, the Fourth Prince could only privately coax some powerful officials.
His lackeys also had their own thoughts; if they got too close to him at this time, they might incur the Emperor’s displeasure.
Now was the time when the Emperor had great momentum.
If they really angered him, and the Emperor decided to make an example of them, could the Fourth Prince protect them?
Ha, clearly not. At this point, the Fourth Prince was doing well just to save himself, let alone protect them.
As for Lin Yi, after that great battle, he left the Imperial Palace the next day and returned to the Nanshan Base.
As for what happened that night, well, it goes without saying.
To sum up that night’s events in one phrase: a favor received even as a drop of water shall be repaid with a gushing spring.
All the more so since Lin Yi helped to the fullest, committing his billions of reserves.
To express his apology for Lin Yi’s selfless help, the young Emperor faced Lin Yi’s billions of assistance with verbal refusals, insisting "No need."
She was really too embarrassed to ask for Lin Yi’s help again.
However, for Lin Yi, such refusal mattered not; for his beloved woman, no amount of giving was too much.
Therefore, regardless of whether the young Emperor wished it or not, he gave all his accumulated wealth to the young Emperor.
Of course, to treat his woman with impartiality, after giving some savings to the young Emperor, he also gave a portion to Ying Yi in the rafters.
As for the little Palace Maid?
Lin Yi’s thoughts were simple; since he didn’t serve much in the Imperial Palace nowadays, he might as well take the little maid with him, bringing her directly to the Nanshan Base.
Initially, the Emperor furrowed her brows at such a request, intending to refuse.
But then she considered that if she didn’t let the little maid go, maybe this libertine would find her some more "sisters."
Better to let the little maid go with him.
At the very least, she was more familiar with the little maid, and the girl listened to her.
Thus, under Lin Yi’s insistent request, when he left the Imperial Palace, his carriage carried an additional person – a pretty little Palace Maid.
It was none other than the little maid.
"Brother Lin, actually, you don’t have to take me away.
There’s nothing wrong with staying by His Majesty’s side.
If because of me His Majesty becomes displeased with you, the fault will lie with me," said the little maid with coy hesitation, despite feeling immensely grateful.
Hearing this, Lin Yi, unconcerned, pulled her into his embrace:
"Silly girl, don’t overthink it. Come, let’s enjoy the fine features of my carriage..."
