But now, because of Wu Wudi's incident, the two sides have long been estranged from each other.
Emperor Zhou suddenly came to visit at this juncture, and the unkindness of the visitor was almost written directly on his face.
But no matter what, the emperor is the emperor after all. Since he is here today, he, the tutor, must accompany him respectfully, accept his kindness, and must not be dissatisfied at all.
The only thing that made him feel at ease was that this was the Tutor's Mansion, his absolute home court.
Even if Emperor Zhou arrives in person, the situation will not be out of his control.
Xiao Mang gave the housekeeper a look.
The butler immediately understood and left, and began to strengthen arrangements for all parties to ensure that the situation would not get out of control in any unexpected event.
Emperor Zhou didn't show any strangeness at all. On the contrary, he was extremely approachable. He gave everyone the feeling that he really came to congratulate the teacher sincerely.
In the eyes of others, this is a coveted honor.
However, the more this happened, the more uneasy Xiao Mang felt.
It was not until the bride came through that his anxiety finally came true.
As soon as the big red sedan chair entered the door, an unparalleled huge sword energy condensed rapidly in the sky. However, the target of the sword energy was not the bride in the sedan chair, but Emperor Zhou who was sitting in the VIP seat to watch the ceremony!
"There are assassins! Protect Your Majesty!"
Accompanied by a burst of yelling, the scene instantly got out of control.
A group of master guards immediately rushed in from outside Taifu's mansion. The guards in the mansion subconsciously wanted to stop them, but they did not dare to stop them at all.
This is the private territory of Taifu's Mansion, but it is related to the emperor's safety. If they dare to block it in the slightest at this time, it will immediately be a heinous crime!
Seeing the imperial guards entering the arena, Xiao Mang couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat.
The situation is out of control.
The imperial guards were not under his control, and his so-called influence fell off a cliff when it came to the imperial guards.
It was impossible for him to control the mouths of these guards about what happened today.
This isn't the worst.
What really made Xiao Mang's eyelids jump wildly was that not only did the imperial guards following Emperor Zhou take advantage of the opportunity to break in, but the key was that the news spread out immediately, alarming the entire imperial army in just a few breaths!
At the same time, extremely harsh sirens sounded simultaneously, and the entire Yingjing Mansion immediately entered a first-level alert state.
It is true that the assassination of the emperor is indeed a big deal.
Even if he is just a puppet emperor, he still has huge symbolic significance.
Whether it was the dispatch of the Forbidden Army or the emergency martial law in the capital, they were all operations within the process, and there was nothing surprising at all.
But Xiao Mang still smelled a conspiracy.
Without him, it would be too fast.
Even though the Forbidden Army was well-trained, and even though other departments had capable people on duty, the overall response speed was so fast, it was still far beyond the norm.
It gives the impression that all this did not happen unexpectedly at all, but that it had been prepared in advance.
Xiao Mang subconsciously looked at Emperor Zhou.
If all aspects are slightly slower, he can gain a certain amount of reaction time. Even if he does not suppress the matter completely, he can at least make some responses to minimize the negative impact on him afterwards.
However, throughout the whole process from beginning to end, he didn't stand a chance.
Even before the assassin's face was revealed, the entire Yingjing Mansion had already responded in all directions. When did the efficiency of the Inner Court become so terrifying?
At this time, Emperor Zhou, who was the party involved, did not have any panic on his face, but looked like he was watching a show.
Xiao Mang was about to laugh out loud.
Is this not even acting?
Xiao Mang choked and asked, "Your Majesty, you don't seem surprised at all?"
Zhou Tianzi said with a half-smile but not a smile: "There have been so many things that have happened recently that even my most respected teacher can no longer rely on me. I have to make some progress and learn to be calm in everything. What do you think, teacher?"
There was no concealment of the joy of revenge in his eyes.
Xiao Mang felt a chill in his heart.
This is a direct confrontation in person!
Although it was only a matter of time that the current scene appeared from the moment he reached a deal with King Qin, the fact that this moment came so quickly was still beyond his expectation.
The puppet emperor he knew did not have such decisive courage.
Xiao Mang was about to speak out and argue, but at this moment, the whole place suddenly burst into exclamations one after another.
The master who issued the sword energy appeared out of thin air.
What's even more surprising is that this person didn't even do any covering up, and just entered the public's sight openly.
"Lin Yi?"
Xiao Mang's eyelids twitched, and he immediately figured out the whole story in the flash of lightning. He couldn't help being shocked and angry, and he immediately pointed at Lin Yi's nose and cursed.
"What an ambitious person! How much His Majesty loves you. Instead of repaying His Majesty's favor, you openly commit murder. Who is behind this!"
Between words, he had already changed his thinking about how to deal with it.
Now that the matter has come to this, it is no longer realistic to suppress the whole matter.
It's better to simply focus all the attention on Lin Yi!
As a result, although it will inevitably bring huge attention to Lin Yi, which is contrary to his previous strategy of suppressing popularity, as long as the matter gets bigger, it is entirely possible to use the trick to completely nail Lin Yi to the position of an anti-thief assassin.
.
Xiao Mang sneered and glanced at Emperor Zhou.
Since you took the risk and committed a fake assassination, let me just let you do it for real and turn the fake assassin into a real assassin!
The bigger the incident gets, the harder it will be for Emperor Zhou to end it. In the end, it is very likely that he will be forced to give up his car to save the commander-in-chief, and even Lin Yi will have to get involved!
"Your Majesty, I once climbed a tree. Those who play with fire will burn themselves. It seems that Your Majesty still didn't listen."
Xiao Mang sighed with regret, but the joy that showed in the corners of his eyes was also not covered up at all.
From this moment on, he completely broke with the Emperor's student in front of him.
Zhou Tianzi blinked: "Who is playing with fire? I don't quite understand what the teacher means."
Xiao Mang chuckled and said: "Lin Yi is a good seedling. If he is well cultivated in the future, he will be a good chess piece for Your Majesty. It would be too rash to use it on today's occasion. Once the charge of assassinating the emperor is confirmed, everyone will
Don't try to keep him."
"Assassination of the Emperor?"
Zhou Tianzi showed a strange expression, and his smile gradually widened: "Teacher may have misunderstood, he is not here to assassinate me, he is here to rob the teacher, your newlywed wife."
"..."
Xiao Mang's expression suddenly solidified.
By the time he realized something was wrong, Lin Yi had already jumped into the red sedan chair amid exclamations from the audience.
For a moment, no one knew what expression to make, and the whole place fell into an eerie silence.
In the sedan chair.
Lin Yi lifted Dongfang Yan's red hijab and looked at each other. Dongfang Yan suddenly asked with a confused look on his face: "Who are you?"
