City Lord Zhao did not want to endure the torture of the restriction again. He immediately said honestly, "I'm not a member of the Blazing Wing Sect … After Eunuch Qi came to tell me these things, he said that he wanted to return to the imperial city and tell His Majesty about what happened here. He wanted His Majesty to send people to capture you."
"If that's the case, won't we be in trouble?" Feng Yi couldn't help worrying.
"Don't worry, the emperor has already issued the declaration for so long, ordering the entire Icepeak Nation to deal with us. Aren't we still fine? As long as we follow behind Young Master, we won't encounter any trouble at all, "Miao Feng said.
"That's true."
Feng Yi and the others could not help but nod their heads when they heard Miao Feng's words. At the same time, they sighed inwardly at how amazing Lin Long and the others were.
If it had been anyone else, they would not have dared to show themselves when they were being hunted down by all the experts of the Icy Peak Country.
"Since Eunuch Qi is returning to the imperial city, let's follow him," Lin Long said.
Now, the only way to uncover the Burning Wing Sect's true identity was to capture Eunuch Qi. Therefore, even though it was dangerous to head to the Imperial City, Linlong did not hesitate.
"En." Everyone nodded in agreement.
At this time, Lin Long took out a Ten Day Heart Attack Pill and threw it to City Lord Zhao, informing him of its effects.
City Lord Zhao's expression naturally became extremely ugly after hearing Linlong's words. However, what else could he do? He could only obediently swallow the Ten Day Heart Attack Pill.
The reason why Lin Long did this was because he wanted City Lord Zhao to be a helper.
Even if City Lord Zhao disobeyed him, he wouldn't lose anything.
After that, Lin Long led everyone to the Imperial City. Along the way, Lin Long released the bamboo rat in hopes that it could sense Eunuch Qi's aura.
…
A group of people approached the Imperial City before them. This group of people were Eunuch Qi's subordinates. They were now under the command of a person called Lu Geng. This Lu Geng was the expert who could activate the level-five Ice Talisman and had told Linlong and the others that he would report the situation to the Emperor.
"Brother Lu, the more I think about it, the more I feel that Eunuch Qi might be heading to the Imperial City as well. When the time comes, he'll probably be the one to complain and accuse us of colluding with Young Mistress Qian and the others. Then, His Majesty will send someone to deal with us!" someone beside Lu Geng said as they walked.
This person was also an expert who could activate a Rank 5 Ice Talisman. His name was Li Qian.
"I'm also worried," another person said.
This person was also an expert who could activate a fifth-grade frost talisman. His name was Wang Gu.
"Yes, I'm also worried about this problem … Of course, Eunuch Qi might also use his power and connections to get others to deal with us," Lu Geng said.
"If that's really the case, it might be very dangerous for us to directly enter the palace to see His Majesty. I reckon that we'll be captured before we even see His Majesty," Wang Gu said worriedly.
These words made Lu Geng and Li Qian frown.
They were just the three of them whispering to each other, so no one else knew what they were talking about.
After thinking for a while, Lu Geng said, "Let's do it this way. Let's find a safe place to hide outside the palace first. Then, I'll look for Prime Minister He and tell him about this. Then, I'll ask him to pass the message to His Majesty."
Lu Geng had a good relationship with Prime Minister He, and he knew that Prime Minister He's relationship with Eunuch Qi was very ordinary, so he dared to look for Prime Minister He.
Wang Gu and Li Qian also knew that this was the only way, so they immediately nodded in agreement.
After entering the Imperial City, Wang Gu and Li Qian brought the others to hide outside the palace according to plan. As for Lu Geng, he entered the palace to look for Prime Minister He.
Along the way, Lu Geng naturally hid himself, afraid that he would be discovered by someone who was familiar with Eunuch Qi.
After spending a lot of time and effort, Lu Geng finally found Prime Minister He.
Prime Minister He was in his fifties, and he looked calm and steady.
He wasn't an expert who could activate a fifth-grade frost talisman. It was because of his talent in management that he sat in the position of Prime Minister.
However, his authority as Prime Minister was sometimes inferior to that of some eunuchs. The reason was because his strength in the field of frost talisman was too weak.
When he saw Lu Geng, Prime Minister He couldn't help but ask, "Lu Geng, why did you look for me so mysteriously?"
"Prime Minister He, let's find a quiet place to talk," Lu Geng said.
At this time, there were still some servants around them. Lu Geng was naturally worried that the conversation between him and Prime Minister He would be spread to others.
"Sure." Prime Minister He nodded and immediately brought Lu Geng to a quiet room.
The moment they entered, Prime Minister He asked, "Lu Geng, what exactly is the matter?"
"Prime Minister He, Eunuch Qi's subordinates and I discovered that the appearance of the Burning Wing Bird is related to Eunuch Qi," Lu Geng said softly.
"Related to Eunuch Qi? What do you mean? "Prime Minister He was a little puzzled.
"We personally saw Eunuch Qi release a Burning Wing Bird from his ring," Lu Geng said.
"Is that true?" Prime Minister He was even more surprised.
"Of course it's true." Lu Geng nodded heavily, then continued, "After that incident, Eunuch Qi must have returned to the palace. I'm afraid that Eunuch Qi will send people to deal with us, or that he will complain to His Majesty. That's why I came to find you, hoping that you can tell His Majesty about this."
"This is no small matter. If I tell His Majesty about this matter, I might also be targeted by Eunuch Qi," Prime Minister He said with a frown.
"Don't worry. When the time comes, I and the others will testify. With so many people testifying, Eunuch Qi won't be able to explain himself. After all, we were once his subordinates. If we all say that he was the one who released the Burning Wing Bird, His Majesty will at least be suspicious of him," Lu Geng said.
"Alright then." After thinking for a moment, Prime Minister He said, "But before that, I have to confirm the others."
Lu Geng knew that Prime Minister He was worried and immediately nodded. "Alright."
"Lu Geng, wait in this room for a moment. I have some matters to attend to. After a while, bring me to meet them," Prime Minister He said.
"Alright." Lu Geng nodded again.
Following that, Prime Minister He walked out, leaving Lu Geng alone in the room.
Not long after, Prime Minister He returned and said to Lu Geng, "Lu Geng, let's go."
The two of them immediately headed out of the palace.
When they passed by a side hall, Lu Geng's expression changed drastically. There was a person not far away. It was obviously Eunuch Qi.
Eunuch Qi was chatting and laughing with another eunuch beside him. He wasn't affected by the incident with the Burning Wing Bird at all.
It seemed like he had guessed correctly. Eunuch Qi must have been the one to complain. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stay in the palace so peacefully. This thought flashed through Lu Geng's mind.
At the same time, he hid in a corner so that Eunuch Qi wouldn't be able to discover him.
What he didn't expect was that Eunuch Qi and the others would actually walk towards them.
For a moment, his expression became even more unsightly.
He knew the consequences of being discovered by Eunuch Qi.
