Chapter 480 Another Chess Piece
According to the current situation, the Southern King has a million soldiers, and it is not impossible for him to be crowned as the emperor. But now this man suddenly wants to sacrifice all his wealth to kill a plain-looking masked man. This is not logically explainable.
It feels like Ye Tingbai is the enemy who killed his father.
The emperor: "You said, if I hand you over, I can solve my biggest worry for more than ten years. Do you think I should hand you over?"
To be fair, if this matter is put on Ye Tingbai, he will definitely hand you over. After all, anyone can investigate such a case. Ye Tingbai is just a small matter for the emperor.
Ye Tingbai: "Your Highness, he may not be dead yet!"
This sentence echoed in the emperor's ears like thunder. His only son, who has been missing for ten years, is there a possibility that he is still alive?
The emperor: "Maybe?"
"Give me some time, I can find out."
The emperor: "Okay, you go out."
Ye Tingbai left the hall, leaving only Wang Quan to report to the emperor.
Emperor: "Is what he said true?"
Wang Quan: "Your Majesty, I don't know, but this man's methods are really outrageous. He thinks about problems from a strange angle, and he has a strange technique of exploring the earth veins. He can know where there is a problem even if there are dozens of meters of rocks.
Moreover, he can explore the dragon veins."
Emperor: "Dragon veins? Are you sure?"
The emperor was overjoyed. He had indeed been looking for the dragon vein technique for more than ten years. Because of the migration of the dragon veins, his dragon energy has become weaker and weaker, and his strength has declined seriously. He has been struggling most of the time in these years.
If he can re-explore the dragon veins, his personal strength will return to the peak. The bonus of status in this world is the most terrifying.
Just then, a middle-aged man wearing a yellow vest and short hair entered the palace. Ye Tingbai noticed this man from a distance because his dress was as outrageous as those of the Tiger Guards.
It seems that he is not a person of this era, but can't this world only accommodate one chess piece?
The eunuch outside called out to meet the Southern King, and Ye Tingbai knew the other party's identity at once. Now he had only one question, is the Southern King also a chess piece?
The Southern King walked towards Ye Tingbai, and the eunuch beside him went in first to report, leaving only two people standing in front of the emperor's bedroom.
The Southern King smiled at Ye Tingbai.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Ye Tingbai: "What do you mean, you are a chess piece?"
The Southern King smiled slightly, and without saying much, he entered the emperor's bedroom.
Secondary personality: "The high-level pollutants in the hall before, there is no such person. If it is a chess piece, we have never seen it."
Ye Tingbai: "System! Isn't this a single-player world?"
No response.
According to the current situation, Ye Tingbai is already 80% sure that this person is a chess piece, and he entered the chessboard world a long time before him.
Otherwise, he can't explain the strange behavior of the Southern King, giving up all his wealth in exchange for Ye Tingbai's life.
No normal person would do that. That's 1.2 million Tiger Soldiers. If he gives up these, is he really not afraid that the emperor will lock him up?
Unless he doesn't care about these things at all, and they are chess pieces, it's easy to explain because he can't take these soldiers away.
Not long after the King of Nan went in, Wang Quan called Ye Tingbai in as well. The King of Nan looked a little surprised. He didn't quite understand why the emperor called him in.
In his opinion, he was just an ordinary person. How could he compare with 1.2 million Tiger Soldiers? The emperor would definitely agree to him.
Emperor: "Why did the King of Nan suddenly come to Beijing?"
The King of Nan frowned. His letter had been delivered a long time ago. Logically, the emperor should be very enthusiastic at this time.
"Didn't my brother see the letter I sent you?"
Emperor: "I didn't see it. According to the procedure, you should write a memorial to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Why did you suddenly write a letter?
Do you want to reminisce with me?"
The emperor's intention is very clear. He wants to protect Ye Tingbai. He can resist this level of temptation. Ye Tingbai really thinks highly of this emperor.
King of the South: "If my brother didn't see it, then I will tell you directly that you have been bewitched by this person. I am very worried. As long as my brother is willing to hand this person over to me, I am willing to give all the 1.2 million Tiger Guards outside the pass to my brother."
Wang Quan: "Asshole, the Tiger Guards originally belonged to the emperor!"
King of the South did not speak, but just stared at the emperor quietly, waiting for his reply.
"My brother is joking. There is no bewitching. This person is my third-rank official, second only to the national teacher. I will announce it at the court later."
[Ding! Get world-exclusive bonus, third-rank dragon guard]
[Official bonus: all attributes +60,000]
The King of the South had a cold expression and threatened: "Brother, my 1.2 million Tiger Guards are all looking forward to returning to the imperial capital.
Are you really not going to consider it again?
After all, they must enter the imperial capital, but how to enter is up to you."
The Emperor: "Are you threatening me?"
"No, I dare not. The world is full of my brother. I just entered the imperial capital and I am tired from the journey. I will not disturb my brother."
The King of the South left with a wave of his sleeves, completely ignoring the emperor. The emperor's face was ashen and he didn't say anything. Wang Quan was cursing on the side, and the emperor didn't stop him. Wang Quan's cursing must have reached the ears of the King of the South.
Emperor: "I am really a little curious. What is so special about you that is worth the Southern King tearing his face off for you?"
Ye Tingbai: "This is also the first time I have seen the Southern King. I really don't understand what gave rise to such a big hatred."
Emperor: "But don't worry. I said I won't kill you, so I won't kill you. Just focus on investigating the case. The more the Southern King wants to kill you, the more curious I am. You must have something that is more important than his Tiger Guards."
If he was still 80% sure just now, now Ye Tingbai is basically 100% sure. This Southern King must be a chess piece participating in the board game, otherwise he would not target him so much.
Emperor: "Come on, follow me to the court meeting. The King of the South is not like the King of the Yan. There are many people who support him in the court. You will probably be targeted later.
But if you can't even handle this, I can't protect you even if I want to."
Ye Tingbai: "I understand."
This is the first time Ye Tingbai has participated in such a formal court meeting. It is also the first time for him to see the civil and military officials of this country. Due to the official position bonus, he can now see the attributes of officials below the third rank.
And there are dozens of people whose attributes he can't see.
Although Ye Tingbai is very skeptical about the combat effectiveness of people in this world, these attributes that are enough to blow people's eyes are already very outrageous.
