Chapter 16: Sacrifice to Admonish the Emperor
In the evening, Seth first arrived at the residence of Prince of Dongping. He waited for a long time but Lin Ming did not come. Seth was worried when a man in black suddenly rushed to him. Seth quickly drew his sword and said,""Who are you?"
"Seth, this is Lin Ming."
Seth quickly took a closer look. It was indeed Lin Ming. However, he was wearing a veil, so he did not recognize him immediately. "Lin Ming, your outfit…" Seth said.
"I used to be a spy in my country."”
"I used to work for the Lord Pi Ping, and I often worked as a spy for him."”
Lin Ming said," It seems that the night outfit is the uniform of a spy. The crows in the world are as black as the crows in the world." Most of the people in An Lushan's residence had gone east with An Lushan, and the rest were Huang Lei. The house he built was definitely not that simple. There must be many traps.”
Seth also agreed with him. When the two of them came to the door, they found that the guards were all dead on the ground. They had been shot by arrows. "Looks like Zhang Ke and the others came first." Seth immediately said.”
"Alright, we'll go in too."”Thus, the two of them barged in.
After entering the Prince's mansion, Seth found that there were many treasures everywhere. He was determined and Lin Ming said,"It's said that An Lushan is as rich as a country. It's hard to believe it if you don't see it with your own eyes.”
They met Princess Rong Yi again in the palace. The princess asked how they came in. Lin Ming recognized her and the princess asked,""How do you know who I am?"
Lin Ming said,"The Emperor wants the princess to marry An Lushan's son, An Qingxu. The whole capital knows about it."”
The princess sighed." Sigh, it's actually to keep An Qingxu as a hostage, that's why I'm using this betrothal plan."”
" Princess, don't be sad," Lin Ming said." We're here to find evidence of An Lushan's rebellion."”
"Many chivalrous men have come to look for evidence recently, but this large house designed by Huang Lei has stumped them," the viscountess said.”
"Princess, do you know how to get in and out of this mansion?"”
The viscountess said," An Lushan must have done too many bad things, so this house is full of secret mechanisms. You can look around."”He also told them some secrets about the opening of the mechanisms, allowing the two of them to move freely in the Imperial Residence.
They came to one of the rooms and found Lilian in front of them. Seth was shocked. Lilian looked at Seth with a surprised expression. "Do you know each other?" asked Lin Ming.
"Didn't you get killed by Connally…Mayers clearly…" Seth said.
"You're mistaken," Lillian said."Actually, after Myers took me away, he asked the doctor to save me. I don't love Myers anymore. He only knows how to use me. Seth, I know you really love me…Come back to Gaul with me, okay? Look, Borl still recognizes you." Borl barked at Seth, causing him to panic.
At this moment, Nicole appeared and said,"Seth! Bohr is still in the Lianyao Flask!"
"King Hun!" Seth said. Was it you again?"
King Hun shouted in the pot,"Humph, it's just two little demons transforming. What does it have to do with me?"”
"Damn it!" Seth shouted angrily. You actually turned into Lillian to lie to me!" He stabbed Lilian to death. "Are you really killing demons?" Lin Ming asked in shock.”
Seth was also stunned." I'm not sure…" Before he could finish his sentence, Lilian and Borl returned to their original forms at the same time."What the hell is this?!"
The demon said,"Humph, Seth is indeed worthy of his name. He actually saw through Lord Satan's spell!" Originally, Lord Satan hoped that you would obediently return to your hometown, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful.”
"Go back and tell Satan that I don't want to go back yet!" Seth said.”
"Lord Satan said that as long as you resist, he will destroy your physical body!"”
"If you have the ability, try it!" Seth said.”
The two demons attacked at the same time, but Seth showed his might. The two demons were no match for him and were killed by Seth's sword. After killing the two demons, Seth and Lin Ming continued to search for evidence in the mansion.
They passed through the mechanism and came to the third floor of the prince's mansion. Here, they saw two stone statues. They were actually the stone statues of Zhang Ke and Hui Rong. Lin Ming said,"Yes, he's full of life. It's as if he'll come back to life at any time. That sculptor was really amazing. His skills were amazing.”
"Is that so?" Seth asked. I think these stone statues are them.”
At this time, Li Jing used the Secret Voice-sending Technique to say to Seth,""Seth, this kind of yao art exists in China. Why don't you ask Yu Danzi?”
Seth immediately called out,"Yu Danzi!"”
"Aiya, Lord Seth, I didn't do it, you know!" Yu Danzi replied. I've been staying here and can't go anywhere.”
"You know this spell?"
"Then…I did make some talismans to give to people in the past. It's not like there's no way to undo it. Ha, let me go first. I'll definitely repent for your amnesty.”
"I won't let you go. If you don't save her, I'll get rid of you.”
"No, I can't! No need, I'll give you a new charm, but you'll use up your stamina after using it.”As he spoke, he turned a talisman into Seth's hand. Seth did not think too much about it and used the talisman. It was indeed effective. Once the talisman was cast, Zhang Ke, Hui Rong, and Lion Zhenxie immediately turned back into human form.
But at this moment, Connally appeared."Hahaha! Seth, you've worked hard."
Seth was shocked when he saw this.”
"Wasting your energy is a good chance to kill you," Connally said.”After saying that, he launched a surprise attack on Seth. Hui Rong, Zhang Ke, and Lin Ming immediately went to fight, but they were only mortals, so how could they defeat the demon Connally? At this critical moment, Li Jing, Nicole and Karma worked together and transferred their strength into Seth's body. Seth immediately recovered and waved his sword to attack. The sword released a powerful aura that sent Connally flying back.
Connally didn't bother and used an evil technique to escape. "This demon can't be killed!" Seth said angrily.”
"I'm ashamed. Thank you for saving my life," said Zhang Ke.”
"It was Satan who harmed you. I think I can't get away with it." Seth said.”
"I've heard that Satan is the greatest demon in the West."”
"Sigh, no wonder we encountered so many strange things."”
"Lin Ming, it might be very dangerous in the future. It doesn't have much to do with you. You should…" Seth said.
" Didn't I say that I can't let An Lushan get what he wants for the sake of my country?" Lin Ming interrupted." Now that he has such a powerful backer, how can I back down?"”
"Alright, let's go together." Seth said.”
" Yes," Huirong said." As long as we find evidence of An Lushan's rebellion, we don't have to stay here for long."”
They continued to search for traps on the third floor of the mansion. They then went up to the fourth floor and used the traps on the fourth floor to send them to a house. There, they saw Huang Lei. Seeing Huang Lei working hard, Seth shouted,""Huang Lei, so you're here."
However, Huang Lei ignored them and said,"" Don't be noisy. I'm busy. Infinite power comes from the mass of matter multiplied by…"
"Huang Lei, come with us to see the Emperor, you treasonous pedant."”
Huang Lei said," It's so noisy. I'm busy. Can't you hear me?" Call me when you're eating…The speed of light and then the square, so it turns out that the calculation was wrong.”Seth did not expect Huang Lei to be so obsessed with it.""Since he's too busy to care about us, we'll look for evidence of An Lushan's betrayal ourselves.”
After rummaging through the room, Lin Ming first found a note that An Lushan had written to Huang Lei." Huang Lei: After reading the military order and the plan, hide it well. When I start the army, go to the palace through the secret passage to assassinate the emperor, understand?”
"Now we finally know what they're up to!"”
"We have to report this matter to the Emperor as soon as possible!" Hui Rong said.”
Lin Ming said," There seems to be a special mechanism under the note. Let me try!"”After he twisted the mechanism, an entrance immediately appeared in the room. It turned out to be a secret passage.
" We have to find the military order and the plan before An Lushan raises his army," Huirong said." Then, we have to go to the Emperor through the secret passage and report An Lushan's rebellion.”They searched the mansion carefully again and finally found the military order and the military plan in the east wing room and the third floor. Then, they returned to Huang Lei's room and sneaked into the secret passage. They went straight to the palace, but Huang Lei, that madman, was still engrossed in studying his powerful weapon.
After Seth and the others entered the secret passage for a while, Wang Siyue also entered Huang Lei's room. When she saw her enemy in front of her, she couldn't help but say angrily,"Yellow Lightning! I want to take revenge for my family today!"
However, Huang Lei didn't listen to him at all. He only said,""So noisy! Didn't you say to wake me up during dinner? Can't you see that I'm busy? " Light seems to be affected by the force of the earth…An infinite amount of power comes from the mass of the object multiplied by…the speed of light multiplied by itself. No, I've underestimated the force of the earth. Light seems to be affected by the force of the earth. The so-called force of the earth is…" Wang Siyue had already sneaked behind Huang Lei. She picked up a huge piece of metal and smashed it on his head. Huang Lei screamed in pain and his brain was smashed on the spot. He died. Wang Siyue said," Father, Mother, Younger Brothers and Sisters, this evil person is finally dead. You can rest assured."”
At this time, Seth and the others finally arrived at the main hall of the palace through the secret passage. The insufferably arrogant Yang Guozhong was sitting on the dragon throne in the main hall. The officials below all flattered him,""Lord Yang, the Dragon Throne looks very suitable for you.”
"Yes, yes. It looks like it was specially designed for you.”
"Hahaha, that's good, that's good!" Yang Guozhong laughed proudly.”
After Seth and the others entered the hall, Lin Ming said,""You can go over. I can't meet the emperor in this outfit.”Seth asked Lin Ming to stay where he was, and then he quickly walked to the front of the steps with Hui Rong and Zhang Ke. Yang Guozhong was shocked and asked,""Who…who are you? How did you get in?”
Hui Rong said,"We have an urgent matter to see the Emperor. Please forgive us, Lord Yang."”
"It's the same if you have anything to say to me!" Yang Guozhong said.”
"Yang Xiangguo, this is about the rebellion…" Hui Rong said.
Unexpectedly, Yang Guozhong exclaimed,"Rebellion? Someone come! Someone wants to rebel!" Immediately, the other officials were frightened and dodged. Hui Rong hurriedly said,"It's not that we want to rebel. Listen carefully!”
At this moment, Emperor Xuanzong and Concubine Yang arrived. Yang Guozhong hurriedly stood up from the dragon throne and retreated to the side."Your Majesty! These people suddenly barged in!"
"Your Majesty, we have something urgent to report." Hui Rong immediately said to Emperor Xuanzong.”
"So it's Seth, an international student from the West."”"Why did you bring a lion in to play?" Yang Guifei asked. Brother, you've invited a performance troupe again."
"Reporting to Your Majesty," Zhang Ke immediately replied,"that is a golden-furred lion raised by the common people. Its name is Evil Suppression."”
"It's been a long time since I came to court."”Yang Guozhong hurriedly welcomed the Emperor and Imperial Concubine to their seats. After Emperor Xuanzong sat down, he said,"Alright, what's the urgent matter?”
"Your Majesty, we found out that An Lushan is about to rebel," Huirong said.”
"Nonsense!" Emperor Xuanzong said. I and An Lushan are like father and son. How could An Lushan rebel?”
Seth said," Your Majesty, please calm down. This is the plan for the uprising that we found at An Lushan's house."”Tang Xuanzong asked Yang Guozhong to present the evidence. Yang Guozhong went down to take the evidence and then presented it to Tang Xuanzong. After Tang Xuanzong looked at it, he said,"Although the plan says that it's a rebellion plan, how can we confirm that it's An Lushan himself?”
Yang Guozhong said," Your Majesty, anyone can write a plan. It's not trustworthy. They might be trying to frame Master An. Why don't we take them down first and confront Master An when he comes back?"”
"Your Majesty!" Hui Rong said. No way. Once An Lushan returned to Fanyang, he would raise an army.”
Yang Guozhong said," How dare you! Do you still need to teach the Emperor what to do? Men!" Take them down!" Immediately, a few guards came to catch them. Who knew that Hui Rong would send a few guards flying with a single palm strike.
"What does this mean?" Emperor Xuanzong asked in surprise. Do you want to rebel?"
Hui Rong said,"Your Majesty, you are aware that this penniless monk has no such intentions. If Your Majesty does not listen to this, this penniless monk will die today to remonstrate with the country."”
"These guards are really useless," Yang Guozhong said."Quickly capture that bald donkey.”More than ten guards surrounded him, but Hui Rong still used a powerful palm force to force those guards back. "If this isn't a rebellion, then what is it?" Yang Guozhong immediately shouted.”
Hui Rong said,"Your Majesty, this old monk is wholeheartedly devoted to the country.”
"You've hurt so many people in front of me. Do you still want me to believe that you're dedicated to the country?"”
Hui Rong quickly said,"Your Majesty…I know I was wrong…" Then, he took a few steps forward and activated his internal energy to cut off his own meridians. Seth and Zhang Ke could not help but exclaim at the same time."This is a matter of great importance for the people of the world. Don't interfere. Your…Your Majesty, please…think for the sake of the world.”With that, he fell down and died.
"Master Hui Rong!" Seth shouted excitedly.”Tang Xuanzong was also stunned for a while and said,""Sigh…Guozhong! I think we should investigate this matter.”
Yang Guozhong said," Your Majesty, don't listen to the calumny of that bald donkey. Although An Lushan is powerful, I don't think it's possible that he betrayed us."”He thought to himself, What a joke! How can I give such a great credit to outsiders? If An Lushan really wants to rebel, I should be the one to expose him. How can I let this bald donkey and barbarian take credit?”
When Seth heard this, he was furious." You despicable person…Is Hui Rong's sacrifice not enough? You are still so stubborn!"”"Seth!" Zhang Ke quickly advised. Don't be rash." However, Seth was already furious. He quickly rushed up the stairs, scaring Tang Xuanzong, Yang Guifei, and Yang Guozhong away. When Seth rushed to the front of the dragon throne, Myers suddenly appeared and stopped Seth.
"Mayers!" Seth was surprised.
"Lord Yang, leave this kid to me."”
"How dare you, you insolent peasant, use your saber in the Imperial Palace!" Yang Guozhong said. Mayers, take him down and you'll be rewarded handsomely!”
"Seth, you've gone too far. I actually expected you to join us.”
"I don't care about your expectations at all," Seth said. What do you want to do in China?"
Myers immediately said in European,"Hahaha! In the past, I could only control the rulers of various places and make them do as I wanted.”
"Speaking of European, do you not dare to speak Chinese?" Seth asked.”
"Now, I want to fulfill my will personally!" First, they would seize the powerful Celestial Empire, then conquer the world. Hahaha.”
"Is conquering the world that interesting? I will never join you!"
"Becoming my enemy will be the beginning of all your pain!”
After saying that, Myers raised his sword and attacked. Seth fought with all his might. The two of them fought alone. The sword aura was everywhere. The others had no choice but to retreat. Although Myers was powerful, he was far from Seth's opponent in terms of swordsmanship. Seth's sharp sword technique broke through Myers 'defense and stabbed with all his strength. It hit Myers' vital point. Myers screamed and fell back, blood splattering everywhere. At the same time, Satan's soul floated out."Damn it! How dare you destroy my body?" Then, he used Satan's power to attack Seth. Seth could not block it and was severely injured. He spat out blood. However, Satan did not dare to stay after using this move and quickly escaped.
Yang Guozhong shouted at this time,"Someone come!" Someone come quickly! Come and kill the traitor!" A large group of guards rushed over. Zhang Ke hurriedly went forward to protect Seth, but the other side had many people and had already surrounded the two of them. "What a pity!" Seth sighed. " Although I can't escape death today, I can't get rid of a disaster for the world…" Just as they were about to die, a strong light suddenly exploded, causing the guards to cover their faces and hide. When they opened their eyes again, Seth and the others were gone.
Seth was awakened in the secret passage of the palace. He rubbed his eyes and felt that his surroundings were very dark. He asked,""Where…where is this?"
Lin Ming said," Seth, this is a secret passage. I saw that the situation was not good, so I immediately threw out a smoke grenade and carried you out of the palace."”
Seth saw Wang Siyue in front of him and asked,""Lady Wang, why are you here?”
"Brother Seth…" Wang Siyue said.
"Seth, you're seriously injured. Don't talk too much. Let's go quickly in case the pursuers come."”
Lin Ming said," I've closed the secret passage door. Don't worry for the time being. But Seth's…condition is very serious."”
"I want to go back to my hometown, even though I don't have any relatives there…" Seth said.
"I'll go back with you, so you have to get well soon!" Wang Siyue said.”
"Unfortunately, the Emperor still doesn't want to turn back." Seth said.”
"Everyone has already done their best. This is the fate of the Great Tang."”
"I hope that what we have learned will last forever, Lin Ming!" Seth said. I hope that when you return to your homeland, you won't forget the lessons of the Great Tang. However, I still have to thank the emperor for making a friend like you.”
"I will remember," Lin Ming said deeply.”
Seth said," In the future, the Tang Empire will enter an era of war. Zhang Ke, I am worried that Siyue has no one to rely on. Can you please take good care of her?"”
"Don't worry, I'll arrange it."”
"No, Seth!" Wang Siyue said sadly.”
Seth said," This... this is good. Lady Wang, I know you like me, but after all, we are people from different worlds... Perhaps this... is... the best..." After saying that, Seth spat out another mouthful of blood. Then, he fell down and left the world. Wang Siyue couldn't help but burst into tears, and so did Lin Ming and Zhang Ke.
Seth's soul was drifting. His memories appeared one by one. After an unknown period of time, Seth was still in a daze. He suddenly heard someone singing and woke up. He did not know where he was...
