"Minister Lin, how did you determine my identity?”
Emperor Qin was quite curious, but after thinking about it, he still did not know where the flaw was.
However, Lin Yi's gaze was fixed on Emperor Qin's waist. There was a jade pendant hanging on his waist. On the jade pendant, the dragon had five claws.
The most used by princes and marquises are four-clawed dragons. Who else in Chang 'an can use five-clawed dragons?
Emperor Qin suddenly realized and patted his head.
"So it was the jade pendant that was caught by you. Sigh, you were in a hurry when you left the palace. You should have taken off the jade pendant and placed it on the table.”
Lin Yi continued,
"Your Majesty accidentally revealed the jade pendant. I can confirm your identity.”
"However, in this street, the inspection soldiers disguised as commoners go shopping and never buy or sell anything. From time to time, they will stare at His Majesty's side.”
"I see, I see!”
Emperor Qin had to admire Lin Yi's keen observation skills.
Before Lin Yi discovered his identity, the two of them could still talk to each other, but now, their identities were clear.
Emperor Qin knew that when Lin Yi suddenly stopped talking halfway when they were talking about the national policy, he must have guessed his identity at that time.
"You can continue strolling around. Zhen still has official matters to attend to, so I'll return to the palace first.”
"This subject respectfully sends off Your Majesty!"
"No!"
Lin Yi also secretly wiped his sweat. He had just cursed Qi Zhenguo for being stupid and not being an official.
He himself was not much better than Qi Zhenguo. He had only met an open-minded monarch like Emperor Qin. Otherwise, he would have been arrested and imprisoned today for slandering the emperor!
"System, oh system, it's not enough to just draw the strategy of leading troops to war. Can you give me some strategy of governing the country and being an official for self-protection?”
Ding! Replying to the host, there are no restrictions on the inheritance from the advanced prize pool!
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment before he immediately became happy.
"In other words, if I draw the Zhang Liang inheritance and Liu Bowen inheritance, I can actually establish myself in the royal court?”
Ding! Yes, the host can also draw the inheritances of Li Shishi and Chen Yuanyuan, as well as the inheritances of Conqueror Xiang Yu and War God Lu Bu…
Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine. He wanted the inheritance of the Conqueror Xiangyu and the War God Lu Bu.
Li Shishi, Chen Yuanyuan…Why would a man like me need these things?
He couldn't possibly enter the palace to serve Emperor Qin, right?
"Oh right, system, what can be drawn from the super prize pool?”
Ding! The host's authority is insufficient. Please reach 50000 points to activate!
Lin Yi gave up.
This time, he came to Chang 'an to meet Emperor Qin and also to meet that expert, Northern Sparrow.
Northern Sparrow had a good reputation, but it was not a good one.
He stabbed his enemy to death in one move and was imprisoned for seven years. Emperor Qin pardoned him, but after that, he was like a madman.
According to him, he was in prison. His hair had turned white overnight, and his face was haggard like an old man. He was wandering around Chang 'an City with an erhu in his arms, and his whereabouts were unknown.
Because he had avenged his mother twelve years ago, everyone in Chang 'an knew him.
Because he was like a wandering ghost and a walking corpse, wandering on the streets every day and not eating the food given to him by others, he became a veritable lonely star and was despised by others.
It was not difficult to find out where Northern Sparrow was staying. Eight miles outside Chang 'an City, the Parasol Tree Forest was his residence.
There was a tattered grass patch with a few stone pillars and a stone table in front of the door. The stone table was covered with leaves and a thick layer of dust.
The guide told Lin Yi that Northern Sparrow relied on her own ability to eat. She had saved up for two years to buy this stone table. She usually did not sit at the door, so no one knew what it was used for.
He slowly stepped into the Parasol Tree Forest. The guide did not dare to enter. From afar, Lin Yi heard an ear-piercing sound.
Someone was playing the erhu!
Many people found the sound of the erhu to be old-fashioned if it was played well. If it was not played well, it would sound like a dog scratching the door.
The sound of the erhu in the forest was worse than a dog scratching the door. It was like the sound of a zombie in a coffin scratching the lid of the coffin with its nails.
It was ear-piercing, rough, and terrifying.
Lin Yi frowned. When he walked into the forest, he happened to see a few black shadows walking back and forth, surrounding the grass.
On the wooden stool at the entrance of the grass reed, there was a person with white hair and a thin and cold face. At first glance, he thought that he was an old man in his sixties or seventies, but Lin Yi used his investigative eyes to take a closer look and realized that this person was still very young.
"Northern Sparrow, have you made up your mind?"
The leader of the black shadows spoke. He had two short knives in his hands and was ready to take a stance at any time.
"Do you think you can escape without saying anything? Today is the deadline. If you don't agree, I'll burn your grass and forcefully bring you back!”
Northern Sparrow remained unmoved and continued to play her erhu.
"Alright, since you're like a dead man, then we'll snatch the Heaven Broken Sword ourselves!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the six men in black charged towards Northern Sparrow.
The knife was about to be placed on his neck, but Northern Sparrow did not even frown. He shook his head and said,"
"I'm a dead man, just a corpse wandering in the world. Why are you forcing me?”
He shook his head and the knife stopped two feet away from his head.
"I know you don't have any killing intent.”
"This person! When one's skills are not good enough, one always wants to rely on divine weapons to win. If one doesn't have it, one will snatch it from others. I've already said that the Heaven-Destroying Sword is a family heirloom. It has been buried at the bottom of the nameless cliff with my mother. If you can't find it, you don't have to come looking for me.”
"Hmph, hmph, what our Emperor Qin wants, we must get it even if we die!”
Lin Yi was stunned. Qin Di?
At this moment, a disdainful look appeared on Northern Sparrow's face."
"Just say Dai Country, what do you mean by Qin Di? Using other people's names to do despicable and dirty things, you're even worse than a lonely ghost like me.”
"Cut the crap!"
Northern Sparrow was unmoved. He stood up and massaged his waist. He went into the house and took out a dung rake. He wanted to go down to the village to collect dung and sell it to the rich to make fertilizer. He wanted to earn some money for his three meals.”
Originally, Northern Sparrow had already stood aloof from the world and lived a leisurely life.
He completely ignored the assassins when they came…
However, these men in black, who were looking for death, stepped on the stone block that Northern Sparrow had spent half a year to buy and piled up in front of the door.
This seemingly casual action was the root of his anger!
Northern Sparrow was enraged!
No one knew why he would be enraged when someone stepped on the stone block…
Northern Sparrow suddenly said,"
"There are some things you can't do. If you do it, you have to pay the price.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his ghost-like footsteps suddenly left an afterimage on the spot.
Lin Yi did not see him draw his sword at all. The two men in black in front of him suddenly froze on the spot and groaned.
The unpleasant sound of the erhu rang out again, and this time, three lives were taken.
The last person looked at Bei Que and trembled. He had already peed and was begging for mercy…
But at this moment, Northern Sparrow's heart was as hard as stone.
When it passed by that person, the erhu suddenly roared like a galloping horse!
"Puff!"
A bloody mist filled the air, and the corpse was split into two.
This person had already been evenly split into two halves from the center of his brows.
Lin Yi was stunned. He could not help but gulp on the spot.
He panicked and knew that if he really fought against Northern Sparrow, he had no chance of winning.
When facing Bai Jueying's ghostly killer move, Lin Yi had analyzed that he should be able to win.
However, looking at the speed at which Northern Sparrow attacked, he did not even know what Northern Sparrow had used to kill him.
The bowstring of an erhu?
He used his Scout Eye to check, but there was no sword or saber hidden in the bowstring.
Just as Lin Yi was in a daze, two heads suddenly rolled down.
"Bang bang bang"
Then, three more heads rolled down.
Northern Sparrow stooped down and went to pick up the dung rake. Then, he walked out of the forest with a bamboo basket on his arm.
It was as if he did not see Lin Yi. He did not stay or speak.
Lin Yi suddenly felt that this was impossible!
Before entering the capital, Lin Yi thought that with his skills and some other methods, he had a high chance of subduing the Northern Sparrow.
But now that things were like this, how could he accept it?
Just as Lin Yi thought that Northern Sparrow was about to leave, Northern Sparrow suddenly stopped and asked him,
"Young Master, why do you think people have to live?”
Lin Yi did not know that Northern Sparrow would ask this question whenever he met someone. Moreover, he was sincerely asking for advice and asking for someone to answer his doubts.
When he was in prison, he asked the prisoners.
After Qin Di released him from prison, whenever he met a stranger for the first time, he would definitely ask the same question.
The answer of the common people was nothing more than raising a wife and children and living a difficult life. The dignitaries would tell him that the world was so big and there were so many beautiful women. He had to take advantage of his youth to get more good cabbages.
He had asked many people, even the famous scholars, but none of them could answer his question.
However, when he asked Lin Yi this time, Lin Yi answered immediately. Moreover, he asked Northern Sparrow,
"Do you dare to die?"
"I dare."
"Do you dare to stab yourself to death?"
Northern Sparrow hesitated for a moment before saying,"
"My body, hair, and skin were given to me by my parents, and I dare not harm them.”
Lin Yi nodded.
"Isn't that settled? Why are people alive? Why are you still alive?"
"Why?"
"Because you don't dare to die. If you dare to die, you don't have to live. If you don't dare to die, you naturally have to live.”
"This…"
Northern Sparrow was suddenly rendered speechless. After some thought, he stood rooted to the spot for a long time…
"Hahahaha, hahahahaha…"
Northern Sparrow's laughter suddenly rang out in the parasol tree forest.
Lin Yi's words shocked him. Moreover, it just happened to resolve the knot in his heart.
"Do you have time?"
Northern Sparrow suddenly asked.
"I came here to find you. How can I not have time?”
"Wait a moment."
Northern Sparrow's 'wait' made Lin Yi wait for a full 15 minutes.
She boiled water to wash her face, shaved, and changed into a set of clothes that were barely clean and full of holes. She also washed her hair and tied it up again.
Although it still looked strange, it was much better looking than before.
"Guest, please take a seat."
Northern Sparrow wiped away the fallen leaves on the stone block and dusted them off. He had already put down the dung rake and wanted to chat with Lin Yi more now!
However, at this moment, a fast horse suddenly rushed into the parasol tree forest. Before they could chat for a while, a guard from the palace suddenly came to summon Lin Yi with a gold medal in his hand.
"Lord Lin Yi, His Majesty has summoned you urgently. There is an urgent letter from a thousand miles away. At this moment, all the officials have gathered for the court.”
