Chapter 970: Chapter 930: This Is the Imperial Palace??

This is why Lin Yi has been focusing his attention on piloting the helicopter.

After all, there are no feedback facilities on the ground nowadays, meaning he must fly the helicopter carefully.

Due to Lin Yi’s question, Leng Yu began to ponder continuously, bringing the helicopter into a state of calm.

Out of the corner of his eye, Lin Yi noticed Leng Yu frowning in deep thought, and couldn’t help but smile slightly.

This girl is still inexperienced in dealing with me.

Of course, he doesn’t think he has deceived her, since this issue must be faced.

He also wants to test her tactics, to see if she has the talent for leading troops or if she has enough courage.

Once she enters the imperial court, the first challenge she faces will naturally be this matter.

He intends to let her handle the entire situation.

However, this doesn’t mean he will leave it completely unchecked; he will protect her secretly.

Even if she lacks the talent for leading troops or the ability to turn the tide, he can single-handedly repel Yan Country.

But such measures won’t help train the troops.

After all, the Dayou Kingdom can’t rely solely on him, as all departments need to coordinate to function properly, just like the military must operate independently; he can’t always lead the charge personally, right? Otherwise, what is the point of being a king?

Thus, after reaching the Capital City, Leng Yu was still frowning and pondering.

Even though Lin Yi landed the helicopter in the Imperial Palace, Leng Yu didn’t notice at all.

Seeing her serious and focused look, Lin Yi chuckled, and couldn’t resist reaching out to scratch her nose gently; her concentrated expression was just too adorable.

Of course, only Lin Yi could say this; if anyone else tried to scratch Leng Yu’s nose, she’d probably draw her sword and cut them down on the spot.

Her fiery temperament is well-known throughout the Border Army Camp.

She only shows such a gentle demeanor when facing Lin Yi; perhaps this is a case of one thing overcoming another, with only Lin Yi able to tame this girl who is both a fierce dragon and gentle as water.

In truth, such a girl is rare, and every man dreams of having one; after all, who wouldn’t want a woman who can be sweet or salty?

As the helicopter landed, the area was immediately cleared.

People quickly surrounded the area.

Although they surrounded the area, they didn’t show any signs, just isolated it from the outside crowd.

Previously, Lin Yi had instructed that once the helicopter landed, this area should be cleared, and he wouldn’t allow anyone to be present around him.

No one had any objections to such command, especially after Lin Yi showed his might one night, his methods stunned all the guards in the Imperial Palace.

For a time, Lin Yi’s status in the minds of these guards was unmatched and irreplaceable.

Therefore, when the helicopter landed in a square within the palace, there wasn’t a single person around; not even a eunuch or palace maid appeared, only occasionally visible were a couple of guards through the gaps in the palace.

"Alright, we’ve arrived, let’s go down."

Leng Yu, who was deep in thought, was suddenly interrupted by Lin Yi, first stunned, then quickly regaining her senses with a slightly embarrassed expression:

"I’m sorry, Brother Lin Yi, I was so absorbed in my thoughts just now, I may have neglected you.."

Seeing her apologetic expression, Lin Yi removed his headset and then took off Leng Yu’s headset, before ruffling her smooth long hair:

"Why all the politeness? We’re already here; let’s hurry down."

Upon hearing Lin Yi mention the location again, Leng Yu quickly looked around.

What she saw instantly shocked her, her eyes full of disbelief.

Looking at Lin Yi, her mouth opened wide, unsure of what to say.

After a long while, she finally uttered:

"Brother Lin Yi, where are we? This place looks so familiar, could we be inside the Imperial Palace?"

Although she had never really entered the palace, one shouldn’t forget that such luxurious buildings exist only within the Imperial Palace Inner Courtyard in Dayou Country.

Even in the Capital City’s urban area, there wouldn’t be such luxurious places.

Therefore, Leng Yu first suspected they had arrived at the Imperial Palace.

But at the moment, Leng Yu couldn’t believe this was true, couldn’t believe they had really landed inside the palace.

After all, this is the Imperial Palace, heavily guarded.

Entrance without permission is strictly forbidden.

If discovered, they’d likely be surrounded.

If the king knew, he wouldn’t be happy and would immediately send people to arrest her.

It’s not that Leng Yu is cowardly or afraid.

But there are rules within the palace, especially since Leng Yu is just an external subject.

Although she was appointed as Grand General, she hadn’t officially taken up the position.

This means Leng Yu’s identity is still just a minor Deputy General in the Border Army.

With such identity, not to mention entering the Inner Courtyard, being summoned by the emperor is almost impossible.

Following Leng Yu’s thoughts, her first stop upon reaching the Capital City was the Ministry of Personnel.

This is because promotions are always handled by the Ministry of Personnel, and although she’s been promoted directly to a top official, she must have the Minister take her to meet the emperor; an external subject aiming to meet the emperor is a very difficult task.

Facing Leng Yu’s question, Lin Yi nonchalantly nodded and said:

"Yes, this is the Imperial Palace."
