”Hahaha!”
Haha …” Lin Yue laughed madly, feeling extremely comfortable in his heart. He pulled Zheng Wan to his side, and enjoyed all of the officials' kneeling, with no trace of fear or dread on his face.
”It's done!?”
The feeling in his heart was unimaginable. It was just that when facing the Spirit Sword that was resting on Lin Yue's neck, he had no choice but to lower his head and temporarily restrain his anger.
”Scram!” Lin Yue coldly snorted, he did not want to go overboard, if he were to kill the governor of Tianxuan City, then he would not be able to continue participating in this trip of the Leader Board.
The Grand Master felt a great sense of relief. He quickly helped the Prefecture Overseer stand up and retreated. The other silver-armored warriors carried the corpses of their comrades away and quickly left the room.
As he was walking down the stairs, the Prefecture Overseer turned his head and stared at the complacent Lin Yue and Zheng Wan. His eyes were filled with malice.
Why would Lin Yue be afraid of him? In this world, the strong preys on the weak. If the other party still wanted to take revenge against him, he wouldn't hesitate at all.
”Oh, Lord Prefect, why are you here too?” Suddenly, three eunuchs came up from below. The leader wore a light purple official robe and was dressed like a leader. He held his horsetail whisk as he greeted the Prefecture Overseer with a smile.
When the Prefecture Overseer saw the eunuch who had arrived, his eyes narrowed and changed into a smile. He did not dare to be arrogant and cupped his hands in greeting as he cried out, ”Eunuch Hu, this official is here on my orders. May I know why this eunuch is here?”
Eunuch Hu laughed and said: ”What a coincidence, I am here on the orders of the honored tutor to tell Young Master Lin about the following arrangements of the Leader Board.”
”Hmm? ”Lord Tutor?” The Prefecture Overseer frowned, feeling extremely shocked. The current Tutor Wei Qianqing had a lot of power and influence, much more than the ones in the Marquis Lingxiao, and he was even more important to the Monarch. He could control the general affairs of the Leader Board this time, and such a person would actually take care of Lin Yue?
”The honored tutor is busy with his work, why would he pay attention to this kid?” The Prefecture Overseer was perplexed as he asked.
Hearing the governor's tone, Eunuch Hu paused for a moment, then revealed a smile. He lowered his head and said, ”Eunuch is joking, this Young Master Lin is after all, a participant in the Leader Board this time. The Imperial Tutor was just a little interested in his introduction, he didn't have any other intentions … If you are busy, please leave first, we still have to talk to Young Master Lin about something. ”
The Prefecture Overseer nodded, led the Grand Master and the silver-armored knight down the stairs and left.
Eunuch Hu's expression turned cold as he looked at the back of the Prefecture Overseer and the people killed on the backs of the silver-armored riders following behind him. He swore in a low voice, ”The Imperial Tutor still dares to make a move on a person he values. He is truly reckless!”
The two eunuchs by his side spoke in a low voice, ”With the Crown Prince supporting him, he has never been concerned about anyone else.”
”Humph!” Sooner or later, we'll make him pay! ”
Eunuch Hu let out a cold snort, then brought his two subordinates upstairs, personally reporting to Lin Yue about the following arrangements.
”...” She then heard that Ye Xiao was Yue Ye and she was worried about Empty Mountain … It has the high standard of six dragons, the backward-breaking of downstream echo... ”.
The sounds of quiet and serene reading emanated from a pavilion. The nearby rock garden, pond water, peach trees, and bamboo forest were all extremely pleasing to the ear.
In the pavilion, Qin Yao read a few pages of the thick ancient scroll, then placed it on the side and drank a mouthful of tea.
At this time, in a distant corridor, several maids were holding a large fan embroidered with a phoenix. Underneath the fan was a middle-aged woman wearing a phoenix robe.
Seeing the person that had arrived, Qin Yao's face revealed a happy expression. He ran out of the pavilion and welcomed him from afar, shouting, ”Mother, why have you come!”
The woman was none other than Imperial Consort Qing from the Eastern Tang Empire, one of the three great imperial concubines that the Emperor doted on.
