Chapter 39: Taking advantage of the situation

"Flat body!"

Ying Zheng looked at the people present for a moment and took the list from Yu Ziqi's hand.

Just a quick glance revealed that the only people present were disciples from Fenglai Pavilion, Ziyang Sword Sect, Yin Yang Sect and Wanhua Palace.

No one from Penglai Wuzong and Dongxian Pavilion, two of the three major sects in the East China Sea, was present.

"Ziqi, where are the people from those two families?"

Ying Zheng glanced sharply and asked Yu Ziqi again.

Yu Ziqi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the disciples of Penglai Wuzong and Dongxian Pavilion are not only not at the scene today, but there is no sign of them even in the station."

My subordinates speculated that some of them might have guessed His Majesty’s plan and therefore evacuated in advance.”

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, not surprised. He looked at the disciples of various sects present and said calmly:

"I heard that as soon as you came to our Daqin, you stirred up troubles and caused a lot of trouble to the public security of Daqin, is that true?"

Hearing this, Tantai Jing hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I, the Yin Yang Sect, are not involved in this matter. Please don't confuse us with these martial arts monks from the East China Sea!"

As soon as these words came out, the disciples of the other three families immediately raised eyebrows. Some had cold looks on their faces, some were full of sneers, and some had murderous intentions.

Tantai Jing's consciousness was sharp, and she naturally felt everyone's hostility towards her very quickly, but she seemed not to notice it and just looked at Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng chuckled: "You are very courageous, and I also know that after coming to Da Qin, you really followed the laws of Da Qin, and you are also the only official sect registered in Da Qin.

Unlike the other three families present, they even recruit a disciple secretly, which is extremely sad!"

"You..."

As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, some disciples couldn't bear it for a moment and were about to question him, but were stopped by fellow disciples.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, my junior brother is too impulsive and makes you laugh!"

The disciple who spoke was wearing a costume embroidered with the Ziyang Sword Sect's logo. He was tall, handsome, and spoke with an extremely confident tone.

Even when facing Ying Zheng, he still looks neither humble nor arrogant, and is full of magnanimity.

This magnanimity and appearance alone make him stand out from the crowd of disciples, making people feel like they are shining brightly.

Ying Zheng said calmly: "Who are you?"

"I am Qi Shi, a disciple of the Ziyang Sword Sect. This is my second junior brother Gu Chen."

Qi Shi responded extremely politely.

Ying Zheng nodded: "At a young age, you can step into the second realm of Xiantian. You are indeed confident and calm. You must be quite popular among the teachers!"

Before Qi Shi could reply, Gu Chen spoke first, his tone full of pride.

"That's right, my senior brother is the eldest disciple of the sword-bearing elder. He is expected to compete for the position of leader in the future, and of course he will be favored..."

Before he finished speaking, Qi Shi covered his mouth.

Qi Shi smiled awkwardly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. My junior brother is missing a bone in his head. It's my fault that he offended Your Majesty!"

"Senior brother, what are you afraid of? With your cultivation, who in this palace can be your opponent?"

Perhaps because he had resentment in his heart for being "invited" into the palace, Gu Chen broke free from Qi Shi's hand.

She yelled at him very angrily, and looked at Ying Zheng, with a very obvious provocation.

Yu Ziqi took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "How dare you be so arrogant in front of His Majesty. Come, drag him down and give him fifty sticks!"

"What, you still want to hit me? Try hitting me. I tell you, my father is the second elder in the sect. Be careful, my father is here and he will kill your emperor with one sword!"

Yu Ziqi's scolding caused Gu Chen to explode in an instant, and he actually fought with his father, which surprised everyone present and showed strange and doubtful expressions.

Cold sweat dripped from Qi Shi's forehead. Before coming, he was sure that no one in Da Qin would be his opponent.

It wasn't until Ying Zheng arrived that he realized that he was wrong, and how wrong he was.

This Emperor of Qin is worthy of being the center of the birth of luck. He has extremely terrifying abilities. Before the arrival of the master, they must not offend him, otherwise they will never be able to leave the palace gate today.

He quickly kicked Gu Chen's knees, knocking Gu Chen down to his knees, and at the same time shouted:

"Junior brother, you have drunk too much. Why are you acting drunk? Why don't you apologize to His Majesty? No, you are asking for forgiveness!"

Gu Chen never thought that Qi Shi would suddenly treat him like this. He looked confused and immediately became furious:

"Brother, you are drunk, I am not! Why should I apologize?"

"You...are so mad at me!" Qi Shi slapped Gu Chen directly, ignoring the resentment on his face, and said to Ying Zheng:

"Your Majesty, Junior Brother Gu is young and incompetent. Please spare him this time. I am willing to apologize to you for him!"

Yu Ziqi looked at Ying Zheng with an angry face, waiting for his order.

Ying Zheng had been waiting for the two of them to finish their performance. When he saw this, he chuckled and said, "Qi Shi, why did your junior brother deliberately anger me? Is it because you think your life is too long?"

Qi Shi was startled and said quickly: "No, Your Majesty, my junior brother has always been straightforward in character. It is impossible for him to deliberately anger Your Majesty. Please tell me clearly!"

Ying Zheng shook his head: "No, he did it on purpose. Why, do you want to see me chop down everyone present in a fit of anger?"

As soon as these words came out, the others were shocked and stared at Gu Chen with evil eyes.

The hair on Gu Chen's body stood up, he touched his nose and looked embarrassed: "Why, did this young master do it so obviously?"

Tantai Jing frowned and said, "Fellow Taoist, we have no grudges against you, why are you dragging us into this?"

When Gu Chen saw her, his eyes brightened and he chuckled: "Miss Tantai, don't worry, this young master is just testing the bottom line of the Emperor of Qin, it won't be a problem!"

Qi Shi looked shocked, as if he had gotten to know his junior brother again, and said in a deep voice: "Junior brother, have you had enough of your nonsense?"

Gu Chen shook his head and said: "Senior brother, please don't worry about this matter. You have a generous personality, so Master left this matter to me and asked me to delay it for a while."

As he said that, he looked outside the door, "Master and the others must be here soon!"

Qi Shi was startled: "What do you mean?"

When Yu Ziqi heard this, his expression condensed, and he suddenly seemed to understand something, and cursed in a low voice: "Oh, you can use one move to get the plan! Your Majesty, this subordinate is careless."

Ying Zheng said softly: "It doesn't matter, they are all little shrimps anyway, and I had no interest in dealing with them. Since their elders can come today, it can save us a lot of trouble!"

"What a loud tone! Ying Zheng, aren't you afraid that you will die here today?"

At this time, a deep voice came from outside the imperial study, and soon five figures came together.

There are four men and one woman in total.

"Master!"

"Butler!"

"Elder!"

Seeing them, all the disciples present exclaimed.

Only Tantai Jing from the Yin Yang Sect stepped aside.

Seeing that something was wrong with the situation, Jiu Fengxi pulled Tantai Jing's clothes and whispered: "Senior sister, isn't the master coming too?"

Tantai Jing shook her head: "Master wouldn't be so unwise, we can just watch the show!"

She spoke very quietly, but how could she escape Ying Zheng's ears?

He glanced briefly at this delicate, gentle and majestic woman, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

Facing the five people who suddenly appeared, Yu Ziqi, who was in charge of the guard this time, looked very angry and said in a deep voice: "Who are you? How did you get in?"

"This brother was joking, so of course we walked in!"

A middle-aged swordsman in front smiled faintly.

The veins on Yu Ziqi's forehead swelled: "What about the guards at the door?"
