Chapter 3973 Princess goes as bait
"The princess is the bait." Lin Yun said with a smile.
"How can this be done? If something happens to the princess... everything will be over!" Lu Yichen disagreed.
"Master Lu! Don't worry... just listen to what he says. I don't think Brother Lin will harm me." The Emperor was not frightened, but asked Lin Yun to continue speaking.
"I think the princess will not be so prone to accidents, because they have changed their minds. They don't want to kill the princess, but want to live."
"So... I guess... the princess must have an irreplaceable role for them." Lin Yun analyzed.
"You are right." The Emperor nodded: "They must know the ultimate secret of the empire."
"And that secret cannot be opened by getting two national treasures."
"It's about the real master of the secret."
"That controller needs to be brought there by the previous controller and accepted the baptism of that divine object before he can continue the inheritance!"
"I... am the current controller of that divine artifact in the empire."
"Unless I go there personally, they won't be able to inherit it, and they won't be able to control that divine object."
"The inability to control...means that what they get is just an empty frame, and they cannot truly control the entire empire."
The Emperor revealed the secret she had kept in her heart.
"It seems... now only the princess can enter the secret place if she goes deep into the tiger's den."
"There should be an extremely mysterious power hidden there that can be used by the princess to catch all their rebellious ones." Lin Yundao said.
"Yes... So, I can only take the risk and give it a try! Otherwise, with our current strength, the possibility of success is very small." The Emperor made a decision.
"But... Princess, this is too risky and not powerful enough... We can wait..." Lu Yichen stopped her.
"I can't wait any longer... One more day they stay in the court, one more day the people will suffer disaster. I must consider them, so I must go." The Emperor said decisively.
"Since the princess has made up her mind, I can't change it!"
"The old minister is calculating the time for the princess to enter the palace. If the princess cannot come out safely, the old minister will definitely take action and save the princess even if he dies."
Lu Yichen could only kowtow and shed tears, but his words were also decisive.
"Okay!" The Emperor nodded. She knew that if it didn't succeed, everyone would have no choice but to become benevolent.
"Then get ready! It's best to put on a show so that the guy who comes along won't be suspicious." Lin Yun warned.
"Shall I prepare a frying pan or a nail board for you?" the Emperor smiled.
"Anything is fine!" Lin Yun smiled nonchalantly: "Send me back now and perform in another place."
"Don't worry, everything will satisfy you..." The Emperor smiled, she was in a good mood at this time.
Lin Yun then left the island and was sent back to the place where he came in.
The carriage pulling Sikong Xing around also arrived.
Sikong Xing was helped out of the carriage.
After taking off the hood, he saw Lin Yun rubbing his eyes.
"This light is really dazzling..."
Lin Yun also complained.
Sikong Xing didn't say much and had no doubt that Lin Yun had been away from him for quite some time.
"Stop talking! Follow us!"
Several masked men came over and yelled at them.
Lin Yun immediately became behaved and followed them with Sikong Xing.
Passing through several portals in the dark night, I came to a dark hall.
"Catch them both..."
Suddenly there was a loud shout, and the entire hall was brightly lit, making people dizzy.
Then, dozens of masters rushed over, threw them to the ground, and tied them up.
Pushed in front of the leader sitting high above.
"Lin Yun...you have already joined the Chishui family with Yilong, and you still dare to come here to deceive the princess. You really don't know whether to live or die..."
The masked leader shouted loudly, as if he already knew everything.
"Ah...how is this possible?"
"Master Yilong and I are loyal to the princess, so why would we seek refuge with the Chishui family?"
Lin Yun shouted to Qu loudly.
"Hmph! Do you think we don't know?"
"I have already placed an insider in Yilong's mansion...Everything you have done has been reported to us one by one. Why are you still quibbling?" the leader sneered.
"It's really ridiculous... How can you make up such a reason convincingly?" Lin Yun sneered.
"I know you will be dissatisfied...but, I will let you say it yourself..."
The leader sneered and waved his hand.
"Grease the pan!"
Soon, two large iron stoves were brought into the hall, and the oil was boiling in the oil pots above...
"You'd better admit it to yourselves!"
"Otherwise, just wait until the frying pan..."
The leader sneered, his sharp eyes sweeping back and forth between the two of them, as if he wanted to see something.
But he found nothing.
Although Sikong Xing's legs were weak from fear, he still held on.
He knew that if he could hold on, there was still a glimmer of hope.
Otherwise, there is only death.
"What do we admit?"
"I think I have a clear conscience towards the princess!"
"But to be treated like this is really chilling!"
Lin Yun let out a long sigh.
"Since I can't be trusted like this, then I'm with the wrong person!"
"You guys put us in the frying pan!"
Lin Yun said decisively, looking as if he was ready to die.
"Hehe! You really won't cry until you see the coffin!"
"You think I'm scaring you..."
"Then I'll show you... whether I dare not throw you."
"For the princess's safety, I'd rather kill the wrong person!"
"Throw them into the oil pan!"
The leader waved his hand angrily.
Several people rushed over and lifted Lin Yun and the other two to the top of the oil pan.
The scorching heat burned them, and their bodies were less than two feet away from the oil in the iron pan.
"Now... the last chance..."
"If you admit it, I'll let you die more comfortably."
"Otherwise... we'll watch the good show of frying living people..."
The leader's voice was cold and ruthless.
"Nothing to say! Throw them!"
Lin Yun said indifferently.
Sikong Xing's body trembled, but he was still holding on.
"Throw them!" The leader gave the order.
Lin Yun and the other two were thrown down.
At the critical moment, Lu Yichen suddenly flew out, slapped the two away from the oil pan, and rolled to the ground.
"Haha! Senior Brother Lin is really loyal and lived up to the princess's high hopes for you!"
Lü Yichen laughed.
"Untie them!"
As Lu Yichen ordered, someone came over and untied their ropes.
Lin Yun patted the dirt off his body and turned away.
"Senior Brother Lin! It's all my fault... I shouldn't have tried this way!"
"Can you stay for me?"
Emperor Ying also appeared and called out in a tender voice.
