Three World Swordsman
073: Silver Knife Group II
Yao Chan smiled then looked towards Elder He Jun for approval from him. Yao Chan actually wanted to see the Mother immediately, but the safety of the Crown Prince was his top priority.
He Jun nodded in agreement to this. For him who had reached the Early Hermit Swordsman stage, it was not difficult to face two of the King's warriors.
But when it comes to protecting the Crown Prince from a hidden attack, he is not sure he can easily face two Swordsman King at once.
"How about the two of them?"
Yao Chan stared intently at the two hitmen.
"Let them live, let His Majesty the Emperor determine the punishment for them."
After giving his word about the fate of the two Payday Killers, Wu Jian immediately climbed his horse back up. However Wu Mei did not ride a horse with him.
"Chan Gege's.. That horse you brought, can I ride it?"
Yao Chan nodded his head as a sign that he allowed it. Then with a quick movement, he took a look at some of the body parts of the two hitmen.
Now the two hitmen were able to move back his body, but when he realized that the power in them was locked, the faces of both of them returned lethargic.
Both Master and personal bodyguard Wu Jian immediately brought the two hitmen. While Yao Chan shot into the air with a height of dozens of meters.
Crown Prince Wu Jian's entourage immediately left the place. With Yao Chan watching the streets and roofs of the buildings around the road through the Crown Prince's entourage from the air.
Meanwhile, the City of Wu Chang An became excited as he watched a human being able to float above their house. Moreover, that floating figure, was a young man who had an unusual good looks.
Wu Jian smiled in his heart, with the occurrence of this kind of excitement due to the presence of high-level warriors escorting him, of course in the future the group of assassins would think twice about attacking him.
Wu Jian had learned many things, considering the task that awaited him in the future as an Emperor. The war strategy was one of his most profound and asking Yao Chan to control it was the first war strategy he practiced.
During the journey, none of the warriors lowered their vigilance so that the atmosphere became a little gripping for the group.
Finally they breathed a sigh of relief when they arrived at the Wu Palace Gate. Yao Chan also descended from the air. He smiled wryly as he saw the gate guard soldiers whip out their weapons the moment he saw them hover near the Palace.
The Palace Gate opened, then the soldiers saluted that Imperial Crown Prince Wu.
"Crown Prince, you have arrived at a safe place. We ask his permission to resign."
Yao Chan conveyed his intention to immediately meet the Mother, but Wu Jian's reply made him have to delay the matter for some more time.
"Brother Chan can I ask for your help once more?"
"Of course, what kind of assistance does the Crown Prince want?"
Wu Jian then explained his goal that he asked Yao Chan to help him explain to the Emperor, about the Silver Knife Group that was after his life.
In addition, the information Yao Chan got was valuable information for the government and deserved a decent return.
"A decent return? If it is in the form of a gift or payment, I do not want it Crown Prince. Helping you is an obligation for us citizens of the Wu Empire."
Yao Chan smiled wryly, for the real reason was not that. The decent return that Wu Jian meant must be money. And Yao Chan was not someone who lacked such things.
Inside his Dimension Space Bracelet, Yao Chan had millions of pieces of gold coins he had obtained from Zhu Long's Spirit while he was still in the Dragon Cultivation Realm.
Wu Jian smiled at Yao Chan's reply which sounded naive to him. However, if Wu Jian found out Yao Chan had millions of gold pieces, he would probably vomit blood from the shame of thinking so.
They finally entered the palace area which covered one-fifth of the total area of Wu Chan An. The grand and magnificent buildings they encountered all the way to the building where the imperial throne was located. It made Yao Chan and Yu Lian cluck in awe several times.
"Who ordered you to forbid me from entering this room!!" Wu Jian snapped at the guard soldiers who instantly trembled at the anger of the Crown Prince.
"Ampuni... Crown Prince,....His Majesty the Emperor himself ordered this."
Wu Jian frowned, a bad premonition entering his mind, unlike normally His Majesty the Emperor applied a rule like this. Unless something big is going on.
"What exactly is going on, do you know anything?" Wu Jian asked staring at the six guard soldiers sharply.
After looking at each other, a soldier took one step forward, after paying his respects, and began his explanation.
"The Crown Prince, His Majesty the Emperor is holding a closed-door meeting with some of the palace's top officials after news that the country's economy minister was killed in his residence last night. The Minister died with two silver knives stuck to his neck."
Wu Jian and the Others were stunned to hear that, anger was visible from Wu Jian's face. Not with Yao Chan. He had learned that one of the ministers had been killed, but he did not say so after considering it for a while.
After hearing the caption, Wu Jian and Wu Mei finally decided to barge in, considering that he had a reason for it. And even the guards, did not dare to forbid him to see the anger on the face of the Crown Prince.
The two rushed into the room, their sudden arrival with hurriedly visible steps, making the entire person in the room look at him with a mind filled with questions.
Even Emperor Wu Mao who was about to scold his two children, frowned when he found the anxious face of Wu Jian who stepped swiftly before him.
"Honor to His Majesty the Emperor, allow the servant to report something that has just happened"
Wu Mei and Wu Jian immediately bent their knees when they arrived before Emperor Wu Mao and saluted him.
The imperial Ministers of Wu who were sitting on his right and left Wu Jian were stunned at his words.
"What is Jin'er, why do you dare to barge in without my permission?"
Emperor Wu Mao still reprimanded Wu Jian and Wu Mei even though they were his very dear children.
Wu Jian then explained what he had just experienced while searching and picking up Wu Mei. Wu Jian's explanation made everyone present in the room speechless without knowing what to do with it.
Of course Wu Jian did not reveal Yao Chan's true identity, he only glanced at Prime Minister Lin Bao and Commander Lin Yung who were astonished at his attitude.
All of Wu Jian's explanations, were too shocking to them, let alone about a young man of a dozen years who was able to soar through the air. Not to mention that they had just learned of the group of assassins, had already begun to dare to touch the palace party.
"Jian'er is that really what you're saying?" Emperor Wu Mao's voice rang out, one side in anger, while on the other side he could not imagine losing Wu Jian, the son he loved so much.
"Hamba doesn't dare to lie to His Majesty" Wu Jian replied firmly.
"Bring here the young man who helped you!"
"Your Majesty."
Wu Jian then immediately picked up Yao Chan and the others who were still outside the room.
Yao Chan, Yu Lian and Zhu Yin walked hand in hand behind Wu Jian. The two followed Wu Jian who bent his knees, then immediately saluted the Emperor.
Prime Minister Lin Bao and Commander Lin Yun gasped as they stared at Yao Chan's face, Somehow they felt familiar with the face of the young man they had just met today.
