Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1955 - 459: Tuotuo: What? The Little Ming King Escaped!
Previously on Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!...
But it’s not too bad now, Your Majesty is fine. As long as the King Slaughter Conference goes on normally tomorrow, I can still control the situation.
Wait!
The King Slaughter Conference, Little Ming King!
"This is bad!"
Tuotuo exclaimed, and immediately shouted, "Quick, back to the Great Buddha Temple!"
Seeing Tuotuo in such a state, those behind him asked puzzled, "What happened to Lord Prime Minister?"
At this moment, Tuotuo’s face was full of panic as he said, "Quickly, no more talk, just hurry back!"
As soon as these words were spoken, no one dared to ask further, and they immediately returned to the Great Buddha Temple.
Watching them leave, the Emperor’s face turned cold, with no sign of a smile. It was clear that he was very angry.
The Living Buddha looked at the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, these rebels are as numerous as clouds. Would the old monk be of assistance?"
The Emperor replied, "No, Lord State Preceptor, you just stay with me. Let them handle the other matters. Daqian is so vast; we can’t rely solely on the State Preceptor."
As the Emperor said this, he gradually led Basiba away. For the Emperor, capturing the criminals wasn’t important, but he absolutely couldn’t let the Living Buddha out of his sight. His safety must be guaranteed by having the Living Buddha accompany him.
His principle was that it was okay not to catch the rebels, but his own safety had to be absolutely ensured.
The Emperor feared that once the Living Buddha left, the group of rebels might make a backward charge. If something happened to him, even exterminating the rebels’ ten clans would be of no use to him.
Therefore, the Emperor resolutely refused to let the Living Buddha leave.
He even said to the Living Buddha, "Living Buddha, why don’t you stay in the Imperial Palace tonight and keep me company."
Looking at the Emperor’s demeanor, Basiba sighed helplessly.
After seeing Basiba agree, the Emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief, while also calculating today’s events in his mind. Thinking about it carefully, the root of today’s events rested on Tuotuo.
He had left the Capital in his care during the retreat, but the rebels had entered the city. What was more unbearable was that Tuotuo had even transferred away his Qincha Eight Guards and Dharma Ba. If Dharma Ba had been here today, how could he have been in such a miserable and dangerous situation?
With this in mind, the Emperor deeply resented Tuotuo.
However, the Emperor couldn’t express his grievances openly, as everything remained uncertain. He was still shaken and needed time to digest everything.
With these thoughts, the Emperor asked the Living Buddha to accompany him, and let others handle the internal affairs of the palace.
The Living Buddha accompanied the Emperor on an inspection around the Imperial Palace. While looking around, he realized that this group of criminals didn’t seem to truly intend to kill the Emperor. If they did, they would have moved silently. How could they have started setting fires as soon as they entered the palace?
This seemed like they were afraid no one would notice. Why was that?
Thinking of this, the Living Buddha slightly frowned. It seemed like this group had lured him to the Imperial Palace. Why did they want to draw him out of the Great Buddha Temple?
While pondering, the Living Buddha suddenly understood.
"So it was aimed at the Little Ming King."
The Living Buddha muttered, "Luring the tiger away from the mountain, haha, even tricked me into coming here. Interesting."
The Living Buddha made a remark of wonder, but neither got angry nor had any other reaction. He wasn’t even particularly concerned about the rebels’ intention to rescue the Little Ming King.
Instead, he maintained an attitude of letting events unfold as they would. In fact, this was indeed the Living Buddha’s mindset. He wasn’t especially concerned about the fate of the Little Ming King. He even preferred that the Little Ming King lived.
He had respect for Han Shantong. If Han Shantong’s son turned out to be a heroic figure, he would treat him with the honor due a hero. However, if the other was an unfortunate dullard, the monk’s interest in him would be very little, perhaps even seeing no value in him being killed.
This was why the Living Buddha had such a nonchalant attitude towards the Little Ming King. In fact, the Living Buddha thought that under the leadership of the Zoroastrian Sect by the Little Ming King, they were even less likely to succeed.
Therefore, letting the Little Ming King go would actually be more beneficial to Daqian’s development. Killing the Little Ming King could result in inciting stronger resistance from the Red Turban Army.
Thus, he prepared to let things take their course.
However, he was indeed interested in the person involved in this plan, whose wisdom was extraordinary. Moreover, the Living Buddha recalled the Hidden Dragon. For some reason, the Living Buddha had a feeling that the Hidden Dragon was likely the person who planned this matter!
At this moment on Vermilion Bird Street, in that civilian house, Chen Jie and others emerged from the tunnel.
Immediately, a guarding underling stepped forward. Chen Jie asked, "No incidents, right?"
The guarding underling said, "Rest assured, Dharma King, no one discovered us."
Hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Liu Futong and said, "Brother, check the troops and see if anyone’s missing."
Upon hearing this, Liu Futong said, "Yes, I’ll arrange it now."
Soon, everyone was accounted for, and then Chen Jie spoke, "Very well, since no one is missing, let’s break out through the East Gate."
Liu Futong was taken aback and asked, "But Boluo Timur is at the East Gate; wouldn’t it be too dangerous?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie replied, "The East Gate is the most suitable. As for Boluo Timur, no matter how strong he is, he can’t deal with four Melt God Realm experts at once. When we arrive, he will certainly retreat, allowing us a leisurely escape."
The four Melt God Realm experts Chen Jie referred to were two Heavenly List Strong People, Liu Futong, Fang Guozhen, the Melt God First Turn Zhu Chongba, and himself.
Boluo Timur, ranked fourth on the Heavenly List, was not enough for this formation!
Having sorted this out, Liu Futong said, "Then let’s head to the East Gate now."
"Yes."
Everyone immediately headed towards the East Gate. At this time, Chen Jie glanced in the direction of the Great Buddha Temple and said, "I wonder how things are over there!"
