"Tian Dan!"
Looking at the figure of the man who was forced to kneel on the ground, Zhao Zhi's delicate face was filled with malevolence and hatred as he shouted.
Hearing someone call his name, the man subconsciously looked at Zhao Zhi. His eyes were blank, clearly not recognizing who Zhao Zhi was.
At this moment, Sei Itō raised his right hand and flicked his index finger at Tian Dan. Tian Dan's face paled and he instinctively let out a muffled groan.
"Let him go," Sei Itō ordered.
"Yes." The two soldiers responded and let go of Tian Dan.
In an instant, Tian Dan was like a piece of rotten meat without bones as he fell heavily onto the ground.
Plop.
"I've already crippled his limbs. Only his head can move. You can take him to see your eldest sister now," Sei Itō said gently to Zhao Zhi.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Zhao Zhi said gratefully as he bowed.
"There's no need for that. After all, I don't have any good intentions," Sei Itō said with a self-deprecating smile.
Zhao Zhi looked deeply at Sei Itō and said softly, "Although I don't know what my elder sister is thinking, Sister Lan has a wish for Your Majesty. And Zhi doesn't have any objections. "
"Is this an answer you reached after thinking about it for a long time, or an impulsive thought because of Tian Dan?" Sei Itō raised his eyebrows.
"… Probably both," Zhao Zhi replied after a moment of silence.
"Then think about it carefully. Answer me when you've confirmed your feelings," Sei Itō said as he shook his head.
"Okay." Zhao Zhi thought for a moment. He nodded and agreed.
"You two, help Instructor Zhao carry Tian Dan back," Sei Itō said to the two soldiers.
"Yes." The two soldiers obeyed and lifted the rotting Tian Dan. They followed Zhao Zhi out of the hall.
However, not long after Zhao Zhi and the others left, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Halt, the palace is an important place. Outsiders are not allowed to trespass!"
"Bastard, let this young master in. This young master has something urgent to report to the king. Otherwise, this matter will be delayed and the king's wife's life will be harmed. No matter how many heads you have, you won't be able to afford it. "
Hearing this, Ito Sei, who was in the hall, frowned and said loudly, "Let him in."
"Yes," the guard outside the hall replied.
Then, another step was taken, and a young man with a thick and sturdy body, who looked much older than his peers and had a heroic appearance quickly walked into the hall. — — it was Zhao Ni's son, Young Master Pan.
Although Young Master Pan was also a member of the royal family. But in the end, he was still Zhao Ni's son, so for the sake of the Buddha, Sei Itō, other than stripping him of his status as a young master, did not send him to the border of Yan like the other members of the royal family. Instead, he allowed him to continue to stay in Handan. He stayed in Julu Academy and studied under the supervision of his mother, Zhao Ni.
"Pan greets the king." Seeing Sei Itō, Zhao Pan paused and bowed.
"Speak, what is it?" Sei Itō asked indifferently.
"Your Majesty. Please save mother. "Hearing Sei Itō's question, Zhao Pan hurriedly said with an anxious expression.
"What happened?" Sei Itō frowned and asked.
"Just now. For some reason, four men suddenly barged into Julu Academy and knocked down the guards without any explanation. They then took Mother and Madam Ting Fang away, saying that they would only release them if they saw His Majesty. "Zhao Pan hurriedly explained.
As for why Zhao Ni and Wu Tingfang were in Julu Academy, the reason was very simple. The former was the dean of Julu Academy, so it was reasonable for her to go and take a look. Moreover, her son was still in the academy, and she was worried that without her protection, her son would become unruly. As for the latter, because of her active nature, she did not want to be bored in the palace like Zhao Qian and Guo Xiu 'er, so she did not give up her position as the dean of the academy's riding department. She still personally held the position to pass the time.
"Who is so bold?" Sei Itō asked in astonishment.
He was not worried about the safety of Zhao Ni and Wu Tingfang. No matter what the purpose of the union was, since he had taken them in, he would naturally give them the protection they needed. Therefore, the two of them also had protective spiritual tools that could save their lives. Therefore, unless they encountered a legendary Earth Golden Immortal like Huang Shi Gong, no one would be able to harm their lives. This point could be deduced from the spiritual warning that he received when he did not sense the spiritual tool being attacked.
However, having protection did not mean that they would not be captured. After all, the two of them were strong enough that even someone like Yan Ping could imprison them with a little thought, let alone these four people who seemed to be stronger than Yan Ping. Therefore, Sei Itō was not surprised when Zhao Pan reported that the two of them had been captured. He was only curious as to who was so bold as to kidnap the monarch's wife.
It should be known that the powerful people of this era were very righteous. Although they were not completely righteous, they were still able to carry out the principle of not harming the family. Therefore, except for some special circumstances, they would usually look for the culprit and would not attack anyone else.
"That person said his name is Cao Qiu Dao," Zhao Pan quickly replied.
"The Sword Saint of the Qi Kingdom. Those three men should be his direct disciples, Bian Dongshan, Han Jie, and Zhongsun Xuanhua. No wonder they could defeat the guards of Julu Academy," Sei Itō said in realization.
Even though Julu Academy was not an important place, it was still a place where the wife of the monarch resided. The guards arranged for it were naturally not ordinary soldiers from the State of Zhao, but martial soldiers from the Great Tang in the Rubik's Cube world. Even though they were not all second-rate or first-rate experts, taking down three or five fellows like Yan Ping would not be a problem.
"It seems that the destruction of the Qi Kingdom has forced this old fellow into a corner," Sei Itō said with a smile. Then, he stood up from his throne and walked out of the palace as he said, "Follow me."
"Yes," Zhao Pan quickly replied and followed closely behind Sei Itō.
The two of them left the palace and called for the imperial guards and a carriage. They moved majestically towards Julu Academy.
"Eh, the King is going out?"
"Where are they going?"
"Looking at the direction, it seems to be Julu Academy?"
"It should be Julu Academy. After all, that is the academy that the King personally established."
"…"
Along the way, the citizens of Handan City who saw the carriage began to speculate.
However, at this moment, there were a few muffled sounds. Dozens of arrows shot towards Sei Itō in the carriage like black lines.
Sei Itō, who was observing the citizens of Handan City out of boredom, narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly.
"You don't know the difference between life and death."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and a torrent of impact visible to the naked eye spread out with the royal carriage as the center, colliding with the arrows that were about to hit the carriage. Then, as if they were rebounded, the arrows flew back in the direction they came from at a faster speed than when they came.
"Ahhh!"
A series of blood-curdling screams resounded through the streets.
"Assassins!"
"Protect the King!"
At this moment, the imperial guards on both sides finally reacted and shouted.
It wasn't that they reacted too slowly, but that the arrows were too sudden and too fast. It was so fast that it exceeded their initial reaction speed. Sei Itō's counterattack was also too fast. Everything happened in the blink of an eye. The imperial guards didn't have the chance to perform at all.
But then, it was time for them to put their skills to good use. They rushed into the crowd one by one like wolves and tigers, knocking down suspicious people to the ground one by one, and began to eliminate the remaining traitors in the crowd.
"I was too slow to react and almost hurt Your Majesty. I am guilty." One of the generals quickly knelt in front of the carriage and bowed.
"When we return, you and the others will all go to the Ice Valley and be retrained for half a year," Sei Itō said calmly.
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy." The general bowed his head in gratitude.
The Ice Snow Valley was actually a place similar to the Allas Family. It was extremely cold and the training inside was extremely strict. Usually, less than half of a hundred people would come out unscathed. It could be said that it was comparable to hell, but it was many times better than being killed directly.
After all, one would have no hope in the future, while the other would have a long and wonderful life to enjoy after enduring it.
"Leave a group of people behind to deal with this matter. Continue to Julu Academy," Sei Itō said again.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The general immediately replied. He then stood up and separated a few dozen people from the imperial guards to continue clearing out the remaining traitors. He led the rest of the people to carry the carriage to Julu Academy.
However, compared to before, the aura of the imperial guards was clearly different. Their gazes were sharp as they scanned the surroundings. The surrounding commoners lowered their heads in fear, not daring to meet their eyes.
It was unknown whether it was because of this state of vigilance or because the traitors knew that if they didn't succeed in one strike, they wouldn't have another chance. Finally, after a short while, the carriage successfully arrived at Julu Academy.
Sei Itō then got off the carriage and stood at the entrance of the academy with Zhao Pan, who had caught up from behind.
"You guys wait here," Ito Sei said to the Imperial Army General next to him.
"Yes," the general replied.
After that, Ito Sei ignored him and led Zhao Pan into Julu Academy. They passed through the school grounds, the buildings, and the classrooms. Finally, they came to the resting room at the back of the academy where the Principal and the Principal used.
In an instant, the silhouettes of a large group of students and teachers with faces full of resentment appeared in front of Ito Sei's eyes.
"Your Majesty!"
"Dean!"
Seeing Sei Itō, the teachers and students of Julu Academy who were intimidated by Cao Qiu Dao and the others all shouted excitedly.
"You are Zhao Wangyi?" At this moment, a voice that gave people a strange feeling suddenly sounded from the crowd.
