Chapter 1416 Farewell, Emperor of Jin!
"..."
Wanyan Aguda's speech acupoints were sealed by Li Zhu, so he couldn't say anything. He just stared intently at Li Zhu.
If looks could kill, Li Zhu would have been killed hundreds of times by Wanyan Aguda.
"What are you staring at? To make your eyes look bigger? Come on, give me a smile."
While observing the surrounding situation, Li Zhu spoke to Wanyan Aguda.
Wanyan Aguda naturally wouldn't pay attention to Li Zhu's request; his mind was racing, trying to think of a way to break the deadlock.
"You'd better not give me wrong directions. I can find my way out even if I don't have you, but if you deliberately give me the wrong directions, I will kill you immediately."
Li Zhu could tell that Wanyan Aguda had ulterior motives, but he was too lazy to say too much. He simply told Wanyan Aguda, "If you do anything reckless, you will die."
"..."
Wanyan Aguda was furious, but because he couldn't speak, he couldn't vent his anger! In a fit of rage, he headbutted Li Zhu!
"Oh!"
That headbutt hit Li Zhu in the chest with considerable force!
What are you doing?
Li Zhu neither dodged nor evaded the impact, since it wasn't particularly dangerous anyway; he figured one hit wouldn't hurt.
But this behavior made Li Zhu uncomfortable. They were still looking for a way, and Wanyan Aguda was doing this. What was he trying to do?
"Boom! Boom!"
After Wanyan Aguda landed a successful blow, he desperately launched a headbutt attack on Li Zhu, his main goal being to annoy him even if he couldn't beat him!
Li Zhu really wanted to shut Wanyan Aguda up, but firstly, he needed someone to guide him, and secondly, since the two of them were wandering around the army, there was bound to be other people around, so now was not the best time to kill him.
Hey! You two! What are you doing?
As expected, because of the commotion caused by Wanyan Aguda's death, patrolling soldiers discovered the two of them with their arms around each other and immediately came up to question them.
"It's alright, it's alright, he just had too much to drink! I'm helping him home!"
Li Zhu secretly pressed Wanyan Aguda's acupoints, causing half of his body to go numb instantly, rendering him unable to move!
At the same time, Li Zhu attributed the "drunk drinking" excuse to Wanyan Aguda, which seemed quite plausible.
"Drunk? You guys have some nerve. What's going on? Still drinking?"
After the patrolling soldiers cursed a couple of times, they told Li Zhu to take the man away immediately.
"Get out of here right now! If the military law officers see you, you'll be in for a beating!"
"Yes, yes, I'll leave right away, I'll leave right away."
Li Zhu half-dragged and half-pulled Wanyan Aguda toward a side path, and they soon disappeared from the sight of the patrolling soldiers.
The patrol continued onward, and soon they ran into a group of soldiers rushing over to deliver a message to the various battalions.
"What are you doing? Running so fast? Don't you know that riding horses is not allowed in the camp without a valid reason? Are you trying to cause a disturbance?"
The patrolling soldiers stopped the people who were rushing away and scolded them.
"Get out of my way! I'm currently issuing an important military briefing!"
The soldiers who were stopped looked anxious and angry. "Are you patrolling people stupid?"
"What important military intelligence could it be? No matter how important it is, we can't let the camp's order be disrupted!"
The patrolling soldier acted like he was the boss, which amused the messenger!
"The Emperor is missing! He may have been kidnapped by assassins! The Marshal has ordered the entire camp to search! Do you still want to stop me?"
"Wh-what?"
The patrolling soldiers' smiles vanished. "Wait, Your Majesty, where has Your Majesty gone?"
This is not right!
"If you keep blocking my way and delay military intelligence, I'll suspect you're an accomplice of the assassins and are deliberately obstructing me!"
"No, absolutely not! I'm not an accomplice of the assassin! I'm not!"
The patrolling soldiers quickly made way for them. Goodness, that was such a huge accusation right off the bat; who would dare to accept it?
"You're smart to know what's good for you."
The messenger snorted and was about to ride away when he suddenly remembered something and turned to ask the patrolling soldier:
"Hey, you were patrolling all the way from over there, did you see anyone suspicious?"
"No, no..."
The patrolling soldier said he saw nothing and was not an accomplice of the assassin!
"Boss, wait a minute, didn't we just see two soldiers? Are they suspicious?"
At that moment, another patrolling soldier suddenly nudged him and whispered something.
Which one are you referring to?
"The one who said he was drunk just now."
"That's right! I knew those two were suspicious!"
The patrolling soldier slapped his forehead, remembering that one of the two earlier seemed unable to move, and the other said he had been drinking. He seemed fine at first, but now that he thought about it, something was wrong!
"What? What came to mind?"
Upon seeing the situation, the messenger immediately reined in his horse, sensing something was amiss.
"Just now! Two people went that way! Something seemed wrong with them! One of them seemed to have a problem with his legs, and the other said it was because the other person had been drinking!"
Why didn't you tell me sooner about something so important!
The messenger suddenly took a bow and arrow from his back and fired a whistling arrow into the air!
This is used for communication by Wanyan Loushi's elite troops. Once the signal arrow is fired, everyone in the vicinity must come immediately!
"Two of you stay behind to show the way, the rest of you come with me!"
After firing the signal arrow, the messenger addressed the patrolling soldiers.
"Go? Where to?"
Some of the patrolling soldiers didn't react in time.
"Fool! Of course we're going to save the Emperor! Where did those two go?"
The messenger looked at him like he was an idiot. What tribe's idiot is this? Why is he on patrol?
"Save the Emperor? Was that the Emperor just now?"
The patrolling soldier was a little confused. Wait a minute, if that was the emperor, then the other one must be an assassin.
Just now, in front of the Emperor, I let the assassin walk away so easily?
I deserve to die!
"Hurry! Take me there! Let's catch up now! You can still earn merit!"
"Yes Yes!"
The patrolling soldiers quickly led the way, hoping the soldiers would atone for their crimes and perform meritorious service!
Meanwhile, the messenger soldiers also began summoning people from the surrounding tents:
"Assassin spotted! Assassin spotted! Everyone, come quickly! Save the Emperor! Save the Emperor!"
……
In a dark corner of the camp, Li Zhu stared at Wanyan Aguda with a displeased expression.
As soon as the signal arrow was fired, Li Zhu knew something was wrong; someone must have discovered the flaw.
"Wanyan Aguda, you are truly remarkable."
Although Wanyan Aguda couldn't speak, he stared at Li Zhu with an indescribable smugness in his eyes!
"It seems you really didn't take my words to heart."
Li Zhu drew his golden sword and pointed it at Wanyan Aguda.
"I think I can get out of here on my own without you."
"But this is the best you can do."
"Farewell, Emperor of the Jin Dynasty!"
