Chapter 473 The Road to Revenge is Full of Stumbling Blocks (7)
Zhou Yu and the others didn't wake up until noon the next day. Their minds were a jumbled mess, and they were in a daze.
My memory of last night is a bit hazy; I don't even know how I got back.
They were all stunned when they looked up and saw the person hanging from the roof beam.
"Senior brother, isn't that man wearing a dragon robe?" Zhou Yu could hardly believe his eyes.
"Probably," the senior student said, unsure as well.
After all, none of them had ever seen a dragon robe before, and this was their first time visiting the capital.
The senior brothers didn't have many opportunities to go down the mountain on weekdays, and they also lacked experience in the martial arts world.
At this moment, they could only look at each other in bewilderment.
"Why don't we just ask?" one of the senior students stood up.
He put the emperor down and slapped him awake.
Are you the emperor?
The emperor squinted at him; he was a simple-minded middle-aged man.
"Who are you?"
Upon hearing the question, the senior brother did not hide anything and answered, "I am a disciple of Yanyu Mountain, and Zhou Yu is my junior brother. Now it's your turn to answer. Are you the emperor?"
The Emperor remained expressionless as he looked at Zhou Yu.
This young man looks somewhat like the retired emperor. If he is allowed to live, and his identity is exposed, he will become the new emperor!
No, he absolutely cannot let himself be a stepping stone for someone else!
"Let me go first, I can't run away." The emperor coughed weakly twice.
As soon as his senior brother loosened his grip, the emperor threw out a handful of powder and leaped out of the window.
Zhou Yu and the others felt weak and powerless, and were unable to chase after them.
"He must be the emperor."
"Oh no, he escaped. He's definitely not going to let us go."
"What should we do?"
"Let's escort our junior brother back to Yanyu Mountain."
"I cannot implicate Master and my fellow disciples. I will handle this matter alone."
Su Dingding and Gangzi, who were having a lavish meal in the next room, had two sullen and stupid faces. They didn't say anything, but they already spoke a thousand words.
Giving them a chance to get revenge is useless.
He truly deserved to die in his past life.
[Host, supporting Zhou Yu to become the new emperor is a long and arduous task.]
"Don't push yourself too hard. If it really doesn't work, find someone else." Su Dingding patted Gangzi's head.
"What about him?" Gangzi asked curiously.
“Send him back to Yanyu Mountain, and let him continue to be his beloved junior brother, until… he dies,” Su Dingding replied.
Gangzi nodded, "Excellent."
However, it also likes challenges. It'll give it a try, just in case it doesn't get it yet?
After all, it was the child's first time coming down the mountain, and he had seen too few people and experienced too few things.
"Host, let's let that tyrant train him. Growth always comes at a price." Gangzi said, and began to formulate a detailed plan.
"Then I'll go out and right wrongs during this time, and first establish a reputation for myself." Su Dingding found it very interesting.
After all, there are all sorts of strange people in this world, and you're bound to encounter something new.
Gangzi quickly devised a plan, then disguised himself as an old eunuch and appeared on the emperor's escape route back to the palace.
"Eunuch Hua!" The Emperor saw him as if he were seeing a family member.
Gangzi rushed over, "Your Majesty, this old servant has finally found you! I've missed you so much all night!"
"Huh?" The emperor looked at the old eunuch who had picked him up in his arms, feeling a mix of emotions. What was going on?
That's over the top!
Gangzi gave an awkward laugh and hugged him even tighter. "Your Majesty is injured. Let this old servant carry you back to the palace. Those who dare to bully Your Majesty, this old servant will make sure they suffer a terrible death!"
"Eunuch Hua." The Emperor was very touched, but being held by an old eunuch felt strange. "Put me down, I can walk."
"Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, how can you walk by yourself? This old servant is willing to carry you!" Gangzi strode forward bravely.
Those who saw them were so frightened that they ran back into their houses to hide, fearing that they would bring bad luck upon themselves.
After all, this eunuch Hua is the head of the Eastern Depot, the emperor's number one lackey, second only to the emperor. Even the prime minister could have his head chopped off with just a word from him!
The Emperor blushed inexplicably, never expecting that Eunuch Hua, who was over forty, would have such impressive arm strength!
Those broad shoulders give me a great sense of security.
I am at ease entrusting him with the weighty responsibility of governing the country!
As he was inwardly complaining, he suddenly saw another old man with a flowery face coming towards him.
This eunuch Hua brought along a lot of one-eyed eunuchs from the Eastern Depot, and they started calling out to the Emperor from afar.
Gangzi hugged the Emperor even tighter. "Your Majesty, how dare a treacherous villain impersonate this old servant! His intentions are treacherous!"
"Your Majesty!" The real Eunuch Hua came over and looked at Gangzi with a shocked expression.
The Emperor was bewildered by the difference between the real and fake eunuchs.
Eunuch Zhenhua clasped his hands and said, "This old servant has been leading the entire Eastern Depot in searching for the Emperor. How could it be a lie?"
"Pah!" Gangzi sneered and questioned, "With so many people, why don't you split up and search? You're being too clever for yourselves. Besides, the fewer people who know the Emperor is in trouble, the better. Are you trying to make sure the whole world knows? And your entourage is even bigger than the Emperor's! Are you some kind of traitorous rebel trying to take over?"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor was suddenly enlightened. That's right!
Therefore, it seems that the person holding him is Grandpa Hua.
"How dare you impersonate Eunuch Hua! I have spent so many years with him, how could I possibly mistake him? Do you, a mere imposter, have the strength of Eunuch Hua?" the Emperor questioned righteously.
Grandpa Hua was dumbfounded.
Gangzi, however, was excited. "Your Majesty's words greatly encourage this old servant! I'll now perform for Your Majesty again, removing the fake flower with one hand!"
Before the Emperor could react, Gangzi had already grabbed him with one arm and choked Eunuch Hua with the other.
Hua Gonggong stared wide-eyed, still wanting to pledge his loyalty to the Emperor, but it was too late.
Gangzi had already snapped his neck with one hand.
Now, the emperor trusted Gangzi even more.
After all, Master Hua's martial arts are unparalleled. It's normal that counterfeit goods are just counterfeit goods, not even one ten-thousandth as good as his.
When her mother passed away, she asked Eunuch Hua to take good care of her son. Over the years, Eunuch Hua has been devoted to her and has never been disloyal to her.
The emperor trusted him and naturally felt he wouldn't mistake him for someone else.
"Grandpa Hua..."
The one-eyed eunuchs of the Eastern Depot were all somewhat shocked. They had been following him all night, and this eunuch Hua could not possibly be a fake. The one holding the emperor was the suspicious one!
Seeing their questioning looks, the Emperor immediately narrowed his eyes.
"Killed him?" Gangzi asked.
The Emperor was pleased. As expected, Eunuch Hua understood him best. These were all people who were not Eunuch Hua and could not be allowed to live.
Gangzi gave the one-eyed eunuchs from the Eastern Depot a sinister look, which frightened them so much that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy.
However, none of these people are good; each of them has dozens of lives on their hands.
After eliminating everyone, the emperor was still firmly held in Gangzi's arms.
"Your Majesty, let's return to the palace." Gangzi was incredibly charming.
Seeing the corpses scattered all over the ground, the emperor felt extremely excited.
"Return to the palace!"
Gangzi smirked, "Hehehe, now it's time to put his plan to train the new emperor into action!"
