In the imperial prison.
The two jailers slowly woke up with confused expressions.
"What happened just now? Didn't that barbarian want to kill me?”
Facing the two jailers 'doubts, Lu Yu said calmly,""They've already left. You guys can leave as well.”
"But I remember that person wanted to kill me. Why did I…"
Before he could finish, Zhang Qisheng saw Lu Yu glance at him.
He quickly shut his mouth and pulled his equally confused companion away.
Not long after they had walked out, a voice came from behind them.
"If anyone asks about what happened today, just say that they humiliated me and left.”
"After all, this is indeed the truth."
The two jailers heard Lu Yu's voice and responded loudly.
Only when they reached a deserted place did they relax.
" What exactly happened?" The jailer asked Zhang Qisheng." I remember that the powerful barbarian wanted to kill you. You can't survive."”
"That's an Inborn Expert! How can we match them?"
"Don't talk too much."
Zhang Qisheng's expression was solemn. He looked around and said,"Although there are some doubts about today's matter."
"But the Great General will never harm us.”
"If anyone asks, we will follow Great General's instructions and report truthfully.”
The jailer also understood at this moment.
The truth was indeed as the King of Beiyan had said.
This group of barbarians humiliated them and left.
As for the rest, it was not something they should know, so they did not discuss it anymore.
......
At this moment, in the imperial prison.
Xuan Jian knelt on one knee in front of Lu Yu and said respectfully,""Reporting to Your Highness, the death of the barbarians has been transferred to Leader Zhao Gao. If nothing goes wrong, the Emperor will suspect that it was the Third Prince who did it, and there will be internal strife.”
"Moreover, the network has already begun to weave nets in the various prefectures to guide the civilian fishing vessels. Very soon, it will cover the entire Great Zhou.”
Was Zhao Gao close to Emperor Yuan Tai?
After all, he was Great Qin's number one schemer. In just a short day, he had been able to change the Emperor's mind.
Lu Yu nodded slightly and said with satisfaction,""Well done. The operation of the Network must be carried out. We must find out all the details of Emperor Yuan Tai.”
As expected of Great Qin's number one intelligence and assassination organization. As long as it was activated, every second would be a terrifying infiltration of Great Zhou.
With this organization, it was equivalent to having ears and eyes to the outside world. So what if he was in prison?
Now that Emperor Yuan Tai had turned to the Third Prince, he had more time to prepare.
If Emperor Yuan Tai and the Third Prince were both injured in the fight, it was not impossible for him to benefit from it.
"Oh right, Your Highness, Leader Zhao Gao wants to guide Emperor Yuan Tai to decide on the marriage alliance.”
"Agree to the marriage?"
Lu Yu lowered his eyes and pondered silently. He soon understood that Zhao Gao wanted Emperor Yuan Tai to lose the hearts of the people.
"Let Zhao Gao do it. At the same time, inform the 3,000 people in the network to spread this matter. We have to let all the state capitals and even the people of Xiaoxian know about this.”
"We will obey your orders!"
"Very good. You can leave first. If there's anything, inform me.”
Lu Yu waved his hand and asked Xuan Jian to leave.
After the Celestial Prison regained its peace, Lu Yu signed in for the day.
Ding ~ Today's sign-in is successful.
Congratulations to the host for obtaining two True Energy Pills as a reward for today's check-in.
Obtained the critical hit reward of a Nine Summers Sword.
[Remark: The Nine Summers Sword was forged by an ancient mighty figure using Deep Sea Dark Iron. Its power is boundless. The wielder of the sword can easily kill enemies of a higher level.]
As the system's voice rang out, a dark purple longsword and a scabbard appeared in Lu Yu's hands.
The sword was more than a meter long, and its entire body was like purple jade. It emitted an evil aura. Just the sword intent emitted by the sword itself was enough to make Lu Yu marvel.
It was truly a good sword. He wondered what kind of power it could unleash when paired with the Tai Cang Sword Art.
Lu Yu did not hesitate. He picked up his long sword, gathered his strength, and turned around to shoot out a beam of sword energy at the wall.
The dark purple sword Qi slashed the wall, leaving a crack as deep as a finger.
This was the result of Lu Yu using only a little strength, as he was afraid of making too much noise.
Good sword!
Lu Yu nodded slightly. He was very satisfied with this sword.
When he used the Tai Cang Sword Technique in addition to the Nine Summers Sword, the power he could unleash was more than twice as strong.
With these two items, Lu Yu could probably fight or even kill enemies who were two levels higher than him.
Holding the Nine Summers Sword in his hand, Lu Yu danced on the spot and continued to cultivate the Tai Cang Sword Art.
No matter how the wind and clouds outside surged, what remained unchanged was his desire to become stronger.
......
Although he was suspicious of the Third Prince.
However, Emperor Yuan Tai wasn't a fool.
He was still a little worried, so he decided that it would be best to check on Lu Yu's condition.
He felt that there was something wrong with Lu Yu in the imperial prison.
After all, the barbarian diplomatic mission was assassinated after finding Lu Yu in the imperial prison. To be on the safe side, he had to test Lu Yu.
A man in black knelt in front of Emperor Yuan Tai and said respectfully,""What orders does Your Majesty have for me?"
His name was Chen Chao, and he was an Inborn Expert of the Imperial Court.
"I order you to go to the imperial prison to investigate General Lu's current situation and see if he's all right.”
"Yes!" Chen Chao nodded.
With that, he turned into a black shadow and flew out of the hall.
Zhao Gao, who was waiting beside Emperor Yuan Tai, saw all of this.
After Chen Chao left the hall, he began to implement his plan.
"Your Majesty, now that the barbarian envoy is dead, the Northern Barbarians must be furious. I think we should decide on the marriage as soon as possible.”
"This way, we can calm the anger of the Northern Barbarians. Peace between the Great Zhou and the Northern Barbarians is just around the corner.”
"Otherwise, with the violent personality of the Northern Barbarians, it's hard to guarantee that they won't ignite another war because of this.”
Emperor Yuan Tai thought it made sense and said,""Indeed, it's time to make a decision. When I go to court tomorrow, I'll mention this matter. I think no one will dare to disobey Zhen.”
"Your Majesty, everything you do is for the world."
"Those thieves only care about temporary benefits and don't know about the world's major events. What Your Majesty has done is the most correct decision.”
Emperor Yuan Tai burst into laughter and was very pleased with himself.
The prolonged battle between the Great Zhou and the Northern Barbarians was about to end, and it was all because of him.
How could he not be proud of such a thing that would be passed down through the ages?
Zhao Gao looked at the smug Emperor Yuan Tai and sneered.
Emperor Yuan Tai was like a three-year-old child compared to the Emperor of Great Qin he had faced before.
......
In the imperial prison, Lu Yu had just finished cultivating the Tai Cang Sword Technique and was sitting cross-legged on his bed, meditating.
At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and his ears twitched.
An imperceptible sound came from above the imperial prison.
Even though it was very slight, Lu Yu was able to sense it clearly.
At the same time, Xuan Jian's figure appeared outside the prison cell.
"Reporting to your highness, someone has entered the imperial prison. Commander Zhao said that he is here to spy on your highness.”
"I understand. You may leave."
After Xuan Jian left, Lu Yu immediately put away the Nine Summers Sword.
After messing up the surrounding true energy, he lay on the bed and pretended to sleep.
After a while, he heard footsteps.
Chen Chao walked to the cell and saw Lu Yu sleeping.
He stopped and did not open the cell door.
