The Praetorian Guards will definitely not foolishly go to Esdes to die. This time, it is just to prevent accidents from happening, to keep an eye on them, and to prepare for future wars.

  However, even if Esdes were not there, if they attacked the assassination unit, 25 Lin Cheng would not be worried.

  The strength of the current assassination unit is already very terrifying.

  Lin Cheng smiled slightly and continued to walk forward.

  After a while, Lin Cheng came to the palace hall.

  Outside the palace, there are closely guarded soldiers, fully armed. It doesn't look like they are holding a celebration feast at all. Instead, they are about to set foot on the battlefield.

  The surrounding environment was deadly silent.

  Lin Cheng walked into the palace without hesitation, the inside was resplendent, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, and there were other officials sitting beside them, all of them were Ornest's subordinates.

  And Ornest, at this time, was standing beside the little emperor as before.

  "General Lin Cheng, you are finally here!"

  With a hypocritical smile on Ernest's face, he said to Lin Cheng.

  "Long time no see, Minister Ernest."

  Lin Cheng also said with a smile, and sat on his seat.

  "General Lin Cheng has done a good job in protecting the country, so I am safe and arranged this dinner..."

  The little emperor pretended to be calm and said, but he was only a young child after all, and his voice was still trembling.

  He knew of Ornest's plan, and this Hongmen Banquet was to poison Lin Cheng.

  "Look at His Majesty's excitement after seeing the heroes of the empire."

  Ernest explained immediately, and the fake smile on his face became more obvious.

  He stretched out his hand and placed it on the emperor's shoulder.

  Ornest absolutely does not allow this matter to be exposed.

  "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

  Lin Cheng said with a smile, but there was no gratitude in his words.

  As for the civil servants under Ornest, they all said nothing and looked at Lin Cheng nervously.

  They didn't know Ornest's plan, and it was only because Ornest was afraid of being noticed by Lin Cheng that they called him over to make up the number.

  "However, Minister Ernest, where have you been recently?"

  Lin Cheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Ornest beside the dragon chair. The smile on his face did not change.

  "I heard that in the past month, Minister, you haven't come forward."

  "Recently, I was ill, and I took a good rest at home for a while."

  Ornest looked at Lin Cheng, took a step back guiltily, and almost lost his footing.

  "It seems that you haven't rested yet, Minister."

  Lin Cheng tilted his head slightly,

  "It's a pity that the well-respected General Bude suddenly died of a serious illness. It's a pity."

  "yes....."

  Hearing Lin Cheng's words, Ernest felt his heartbeat speed up suddenly.

  Bud's death must have something to do with Lin Cheng's uncleanness, but he also took the blame for it.

  Moreover, the assassination unit had previously followed Ernest's orders and had leaked to the people that other civil servants who disobeyed him had been assassinated.

  This is definitely what Lin Cheng did.

  But now, Ornest has neither evidence nor the courage to accuse Lin Cheng, and can only go along with the other party's words.

  At this time, the maids brought delicious meals to the tables in front of the officials.

  These are all delicacies made by the top royal chefs in the palace, and the ingredients used are things that are impossible for ordinary people to touch.

  There are also the top red wines of the empire, which are usually only enjoyed by Ornest.

  A palace maid respectfully walked in front of Lin Cheng and presented the food.

  Lin Cheng looked at each other with a smile on his face, nodded, then turned to look at the food in front of him, and started eating without any hesitation.

  In the Great Hall, the singing and dancing were peaceful, and the dancers in exotic costumes twisted and danced temptingly inside. They wore veils to cover their faces, but they exuded a kind of like holding a pipa. Semi-covered beauty.

  The corrupt officials and officials around were attracted by the scene in front of them, and they enjoyed the food and wine without any scruples. Under the influence of the alcohol, their cheeks were a little red, and their bodies also danced with the dancers. Get carried away, go forward, want to get some cheap.

  Looking at this scene, the corner of Ernest's mouth rose slightly.

  Lin Cheng ate all these foods!

  He had already bought the maids who were in charge of delivering the food in advance, and asked them to put poison in Lin Cheng's food when they were serving the food.

  The former Ornest used this poison to poison the previous emperor.

  This kind of poison only takes less than half an hour to work, and it will kill you immediately, and there is no antidote. Even if the body has a poison-resistant assassination team member, if they eat this poison, they will surely die.

  Watching Lin Cheng eat all the food, Ornest laughed happily.

  "Everyone has a good time, you won't go home if you don't get drunk!"

  Ornest said excitedly.

  He just had to wait, wait for half an hour to pass, and wait for Lin Cheng to die from the poison.

  Time passed little by little, and half an hour had passed.

  But at this time, Lin Cheng showed no signs of being poisoned.

  "what happened?!"

  Ernest's heart was a little anxious,

  "Could it be that the dose of poison is not enough?"

  "Or Lin Cheng's resistance to toxicity is beyond my imagination."

  Just when Ornest was a little flustered, a retching sound came from the surroundings.

  All the officials present rolled on the ground in pain, and many people knelt on the ground and vomited.

  That's a sign of poisoning! .

Chapter 243

  "What's the matter, Minister?!"

  The emperor was also stunned, somewhat at a loss.

  After a few minutes, all of Ernest's men had stopped breathing.

  In the palace that was still singing and dancing just now, the performance of the dancers ended in painful screams and groans. In an instant, a lot of corpses had been piled up, and they were all Ornest's minions.

  There was only one person present who was unharmed.

  Forest City.

  At this time, Lin Cheng was sitting in his seat, feasting on the food in front of him, as if nothing happened around him.

  After everyone stopped breathing, Lin Cheng finally put down the tableware in his hand, raised his head, and looked at Ornest with a smile.

  "As expected of Minister Ernest, he is so quick to use poison."

  "I don't understand what you're talking about, General Lin Cheng."

  Ornest swallowed, but his voice was trembling.

  "The maid you arranged is my subordinate." "How could it be..."

  Ornest leaned back, almost falling,

  "They are all subordinates that I have personally selected."

  As Lin Cheng spoke, the palace maid who was just in charge of delivering food to Lin Cheng walked in.

  After a cloud of smoke passed by, the appearance of the palace maid changed.

  Long pink hair, a completely different face, and a lollipop in her mouth.

  Chelsea!

  Chelsea has a Teigu called Gaia foundation that can freely change her appearance.

  A long time ago, Chelsea had disguised as a palace maid and infiltrated the palace according to Lin Cheng's order.

  Lin Cheng had previously told Esdes that the people who assassinated the association had penetrated into the imperial capital, even in the palace, referring to Chelsea.

  After Chelsea disguised as a palace maid, she accepted Ornest's order and poisoned Lin Cheng's food.

  And Chelsea gave the poison to everyone's meals except Lin Cheng.

  "what.!"

  Seeing Chelsea in front of him, Ornest was stunned.

  He thought that the top secret plan had already been known to Lin Cheng long ago?

  "Quick escort, escort!"

  Ornest shouted hysterically, and the soldiers guarding outside the power supply rushed in immediately, which was also one of Ornest's insurances.

  They were all heavily armed and armed with sharp spears.

  But at this moment, the dancing girl who was performing in the palace took out countless daggers like a conjuration, and threw them all, hitting the head of every soldier in front of them with precision.

  This made Ernest even more stunned, and he never thought that even the dancer was the other party's person.

  The dancer took off the veil, and what appeared in front of Ornest was the face of a peerless beauty. The tear moles under the corners of her eyes made her look even more charming.

  Maillard.

  For the leader of the assassination club, disguising as a dancing girl in the royal palace is an easy task.
