Chapter 168 Who Sovereigns the World?

Gu Ye entered the palace of Taihe. Less than a moment later, the old eunuch rushed out again. This time, he held the weapon in his hand and passed the imperial decree, "The decree, summon the general Lin Yun to enter the hall. Palace Guards has thirty thousand soldiers in full display. Lei Tai and the four gates of the four corners of the world, guarding the rules of the palace."

Everyone was shocked. Gu Ye's strength was indeed monstrous. He only entered in a hurry, which led the Emperor to dispatch thirty thousand Palace Guards into the palace. The leading general was his trusted Lin Yun. Everyone could see that Gu Ye's arrival was leading the situation to a rapid pace. And the Emperor would actually entrust a foreign minister with such a heavy responsibility and receive as one can imagine of trust!

After reading the decree, the old eunuch looked at Nobel Consort Liu and the Fourth Prince. Nobel Consort Liu quickly stepped forward in an anxious tone.

"Prince Wang, did the Emperor recruit me into the palace?"

"Nobel Consort Liu, please don't be impatient. The Emperor has someone who wants to meet at this moment, but it is not the Enchantress, but the Fourth Prince." With the crowd's gaze, he fixed his eyes on Cheng Jin. He looked at each other for a moment before nodding respectfully and rushing to greet him.

"Fourth Prince, please."

The Fourth Prince's expression turned serious. He nodded and quickly walked in.

At noon, the scorching sun came to the end, and the cold breath of early spring had long disappeared. The nervous waiting outside Taihe and the palace made everyone feel pressured. After all, what they are experiencing is not a small matter. Maybe after today, the Jinyun Dynasty will change owners, and they are in the centre of such a vortex, don't ask for keep out of the affair, just want to escape!

The extremely agitated and strange silence finally broke the almost extreme collapse in everyone's heart when there was a loud hoof sound. Everyone looked at the noisy voice and saw a large number of Palace Guards in the four gates of the four corners of the world outside the hall. They were dressed in silver armor and held sharp blades. They appeared orderly and surrounded the four exits of the whole hall.

In front of Palace Guards, the eight thousand imperial guards under the Third Prince who had been guarding the town for a long time were also a little passive. After all, Palace Guards was the best equipped Jinyun Dynasty, and the most trained ironclad army. Moreover, there was a big general, Lin Yun, who had a bloody wrist, who was guarding him. Anyone would have to face the consequences of stately entering the forbidden ground of the palace.

"General Lin, it's great that you're here. With you and Prime Minister in the palace, it's finally stable." Just as Lin Yun came in from the South Gate, Nobel Consort Liu went up to welcome them.

Qi Hai was still on Ji Wujin's neck with a knife. For half a day, he was stunned to maintain this gesture. When he saw Lin Yun's appearance, his knife that hadn't moved for a long time actually trembled, and Ji Wujin's delicate and tender neck was immediately cut open.

Ji Wujin rolled her eyes in pain.

"Commander Qi, don't tremble. If you are tired from raising the knife, you can put it down and rest. I can't run."

Qi Hai was speechless for a moment, then he said, "Young Lady is really in a good mood. She's still in the mood to tease her."

Lin Yun seemed to not see Nobel Consort Liu. He got off the horse and strode towards Tai and the palace with the knife on his waist.

Under the scorching sun, Qi Hai's forehead was already covered with cold sweat.

Lin Yun's footsteps stopped when he passed the kidnapped Ji Wujin. His face turned towards the direction of Tai and the palace, but he said to Qi Hai, "Commander Qi, I haven't seen you for a few days. I didn't expect you to have the courage to pull the knife in front of you."

The cold blade was closer to Ji Wujin, and Qi Hai's trembling hands started to tremble even more violently, while Ji Wujin's bleeding wound was also cracked.

"Hey, Qi Hai, what does he mean by cutting me? If you don't even have a knife, just put it down and talk!"

"Shut up!" Qi Hai's pressure reached the limit.

The Fourth Prince had been in the Palace of Taihe for a long time, but Lin Yun had called a heavy army to escort Taihe. The situation was too difficult to guess, plus there was Nobel Consort Liu from look at fiercely as a tiger does beside him. At this moment, he was already extremely passive with three thousand guards, but he had to stabilize because he knew that Gu Ye was the key to the situation, and Ji Wujin, who he was holding, was the key to leaving and leaving Gu Ye!

"General Lin, knives and swords are blind. You'd better not care about Miss Ji, or I'll inevitably tremble nervously. I accidentally cut Miss Ji's slender neck later, but it'll be bad." Qi Hai was in the unified position in the imperial court, and he had experienced several battles with soldiers.

As soon as his voice fell, Nobel Consort Liu stood in front of Lin Yun and scolded Qi Hai, "Qi Hai, you have the guts. How can you act recklessly in the palace?"

Qi Hai didn't say anything but stared at Lin Yun, not moving at all than the knife on Ji Wujin's neck.

Lin Yun stood there with his knife in hand, like a frozen Buddha. For a time, the three of them confronted each other. No one spoke and the surroundings were so quiet that only breathing could be heard.

Only Ji Wujin seemed to be unaffected by this strange atmosphere. Her brain was still wandering and her be inopportune or inappropriate was open.

"Hey, Lin Yun, are you wearing such thick clothes?"

"Qi Hai, can you give me some antidote? What if I die from blood?"

No one spoke, only Nobel Consort Liu, who was also a woman, was willing to talk to her.

"Little girl, you look at life and death with a knife on your neck. As expected, Gu Ye thinks highly of you. It's a little special," Nobel Consort Liu said with admiration, but her tone was hard to hide the sarcasm of the superior.

"Thank you, Nobel Consort Liu," Ji Wujin grinned at her.

Nobel Consort Liu's expression changed and she suddenly thought of her influence on Gu Ye. Her eyes darkened again.

Ji Wujin saw it and smiled in her heart.

"Aren't you overestimating me? The Fourth Prince thinks that I will affect Gu Ye's choice. Why would Nobel Consort Liu believe me?"

Nobel Consort Liu was so angry that she glared at her without saying a word.

Why would they be so worried that Ji Wujin's hostage might affect Gu Ye? It was because Gu Ye had never shown such a straightforward concern for a woman in front of anyone. He did not hide it and did not act in the slightest.

Nobel Consort Liu asked herself how many people had read, so she still had some skills. Ji Wujin was very important to Gu Ye. What made them the most uncertain was whether this weight of Khai could really change Gu Ye's decision today!

The Emperor had never been neutral in the imperial court before, and now, on the verge of death, he had only called Gu Ye to oversee the situation. Gu Ye's existence meant that everyone knew what Qi Hai was waiting for, Nobel Consort Liu was waiting, including Lin Yun. Everyone was waiting for the results in front of the closed doors of Tai and the palace.
