Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

"Yes, of course. But two fists can't fight four hands, and we don't know what the current situation is!" Luo Ho said worriedly.

"Eleventh Senior Brother, I've noticed you're always so pessimistic!" Qing Shui chuckled. "With Brother Lin around, when have we ever encountered the situation you're worried about? Don't worry unnecessarily."

“That’s right! With Brother Yaoxie here, what are Qi Sha?! They won’t dare to act recklessly!” Hua Qiangu said righteously.

"We'll talk about it when we get back!" Dongfang said, and without realizing it, he threw something on the ground!

The dilapidated house was covered with cobwebs. Luo Shiyi and Shuofeng cleared a space for everyone to sit down and rest for a while.

"Right now, the most important thing is to go and see your father and mother and see if they have any countermeasures." Qing Shui's idea was quite realistic!

"I think we should just storm into that scoundrel Third Prince's mansion!" Ni Mantian clenched her fist and said sharply.

Lin Yaoxie added in his mind, "Just keep barging into his courtyard! And teach him a lesson along the way? Haha, Mantian's personality is really cheerful and lovable."

"No, no, even if we only have a few people, and even if we were to report that we have the power to reach the heavens, we can't risk the world's condemnation by killing so many mortals!" Luo Shiyi said.

Ultimately, Changliu's mission is to save all living beings. Bloodshed is acceptable in the struggle for the throne, but it shouldn't be treated with such blatant disregard for human life!

“Killing is not the solution. We have two objectives: first, to help Brother Meng protect his parents and, to some extent, to contend for the throne; second, to find the whereabouts of the divine artifact.” Dongfang’s thinking was quite clear.

"Yes, not to a certain extent, but to allow Meng Xuanlang to ascend the throne!"

Lin Yaoxie shook his head. Since Meng Xuanlang had decided to turn back, it meant that the path of cultivation was no longer for him!

If they cannot help him seize the throne this time, then when they leave, it will surely be Meng Xuanlang's death day.

"Alright! That makes it even clearer: one is vying for the throne, and the other is seizing the divine artifact!" Dongfang summarized simply.

"Brother Demon, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's right?" Hua Qiangu said, seemingly a little embarrassed.

“You say it.” Lin Yaoxie looked at her intently.

"I think we should have only one goal now, which is to help Brother Meng seize the throne!" Hua Qiangu said loudly, having gathered some energy.

"Why?" Lin Yaoxie asked, this was the first time he had heard that Hua Qiangu had her own ideas.

"Because we actually came back because of the throne-grabbing incident, and we didn't know where the divine artifact was. If Qi Sha knew, they would definitely find it before us, and then we would snatch it from them. If they also don't know the whereabouts of the divine artifact, they will inevitably interfere with whatever we do, so everyone will have to rely on their own abilities. If they find it first, we will still have to snatch it from them. So why don't we just decide to let them find it and then we will snatch it? Helping Brother Meng wholeheartedly will be much more effective!"

Qing Shui quietly gave Hua Qiangu a thumbs up. After experiencing some things, even a simple person can grow up.

Little Bone, you've grown up! Lin Yaoxie looked at her, this girl who, from the very beginning, only knew how to cry, should now be learning to think, and even learning to choose between dragons.

“That’s right, you’re absolutely right. We only have one goal! To help Xuan Lang seize the throne!” Luo Shiyi laughed, having also noticed the changes in Hua Qiangu.

"In that case, let's all think about how to seize it?" Dongfang shrugged.

"After all, we have no money, no manpower, and no horses right now. It's easy to say, but how are we going to seize it?" Ni Mantian also looked worried. If they couldn't just rush in, they could only try to outsmart the enemy, but they couldn't think of any good strategies.

"First, sneak into the palace to see if your parents are safe, then explain the situation to them. Your father should know best that there are no suitable generals to rely on," Qing Shui said.

Meng Xuanlang nodded, "Yes, let's see if they are safe and sound before we talk about anything else."

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Nighttime Infiltration of the Imperial Palace

"Boss, are you really coming with me?" Meng Xuanlang looked flattered.

“The Seven Killers won’t make a move now; they’ll choose to wait and see. So, those who stay here won’t be in danger. But you’re different. Nobody knows what the situation is like in the palace right now. If it were Shuofeng, I’d feel comfortable letting him go back on his own, but you…” Lin Yaoxie glanced at Meng Xuanlang with some disdain, “Your skills are indeed rather unimpressive.”

"Uh..." Meng Xuanlang blushed a little at Lin Yaoxie's words.

"Idiot! Your demonic brother is taking care of you!" Ni Mantian laughed and scolded. "What are you being shy about?"

"Brother Meng, don't hesitate any longer, hurry up and go to the palace with Brother Lin. Checking on your parents' safety is the most important thing!" Qing Shui also said.

Alright! Eleventh Senior Brother, then I'll leave the women here in your care!

Meng Xuanlang really inherited the family's mother-in-law and mother-in-law traits; he's exactly like his younger brother.

"Let's go! Stop talking nonsense!" Even Luo Shiyi was both annoyed and amused.

"Boss, shall we go through the north gate?"

Meng Xuanlang looked at Lin Yaoxie, who was also wearing a black mask, and still looked as handsome and dashing as ever.

"You know the area, so you lead the way!"

Lin Yaoxie said crisply, and looking back on the journey, he actually regretted it a little. Meng Xuanlang was really too noisy, and it really made people's ears callous!

"Boss! Someone's here!" Meng Xuanlang whispered.

Lin Yaoxie almost wanted to cast a silencing spell on him; it would be strange if there were no people in the inner palace!

He made an upward gesture. At the same time, his body felt light, and he had already climbed onto the wall and onto the courtyard wall.

"Oh." Meng Xuanlang belatedly followed his example and climbed up as well. Just as he pulled his leg back, a patrol team of soldiers walked by.

"Boss, today's patrol time is shorter! It's much more intense!"

Isn't that obvious? You swaggered in from outside the city. If I were your brother, I would increase patrols to prevent you from secretly meeting with your father and mother.

"Find them first!" Lin Yaoxie had given up on talking to him. "Which palace are they in?"

“It should be in Cixi Palace,” Meng Xuanlang replied after a moment’s thought.

"Let's go! Things could get complicated if we wait too long!" Lin Yaoxie grabbed him by the collar and held him tightly in her hand. "This way it'll be faster."

Meng Xuanlang scratched his head sheepishly: "Go east, pass this palace, yes, then go north, keep going north, the second to last one is it."

The palace was shrouded in darkness, and many of the smaller corners had been extinguished by candlelight. Only the maids and eunuchs holding lanterns remained standing at the courtyard gate.

Occasionally, a patrol battalion would pass by, but they would only pass through without lighting lanterns; their orderly steps were proof that they were protecting the entire palace.

"Empress Dowager?!"

Meng Xuanlang's sharp eyes spotted the Empress's brightly colored clothes. The Empress appeared extremely destitute, sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, without any maids serving her. However, outside the courtyard, soldiers could be vaguely seen lying in ambush. Were they waiting for her to come to them?

Lin Yaoxie grabbed Meng Xuanlang and whispered, "Look more closely!"

Meng Xuanlang looked at him with a puzzled expression, as if he didn't understand why he said that.

“That person is not the Empress Dowager! He is shorter than your mother!” Lin Yaoxie squeezed his arm tightly.

"what……"

Meng Xuanlang looked closely and, sure enough, it was true. Concern clouded his judgment; the woman was drinking, and her disheveled hair seemed to be deliberately concealing her true appearance.

"Then where is my mother?" Meng Xuanlang looked at Lin Yaoxie as if he were looking at a lifeline.

"Find, find another palace where someone is lying in ambush."

They climbed back up the city wall.

These endless palaces! For the first time, Meng Xuanlang was overwhelmed by how vast the imperial palace was! He had no idea where his father and mother were!

"Don't worry! We'll find it!" Lin Yaoxie comforted him.

Wherever people are imprisoned, there will always be something unusual. Although we don't know what the unusual thing is yet, we will eventually find it. Don't worry, patience will surely help.

"The Seven Killers?" Meng Xuanlang saw a dark figure almost touching Luoying Palace.

"Seven Killings?" Lin Yaoxie asked, "Are you sure?"

Meng Xuanlang nodded. "They used this technique to hide their tracks when they came to Changliu to steal things. I led the team that caught them, so I won't mistake them."

"Yes, then your mother should be inside."

Lin Yaoxie looked at the closed door of Luoying Palace. There were probably many other people like this shadow in the vicinity, quietly waiting for their arrival.

"How do we get in?" Meng Xuanlang had obviously guessed the arrangements for this trip.

"Me, hit me? What are you talking about?" Lin Yaoxie said.

“It will easily attract more people.” Meng Xuanlang thought for a moment, “Even so, some people will still rush in.”

“Then…” Lin Yaoxie’s gaze fell on the people of Qi Sha.

Lin Yaoxie flashed to Qi Sha's side, reached out, and pulled hard. Soon he returned with a set of Qi Sha Sect's dark clothes.

"Put it on!"

Meng Xuanlang took the clothes. "Will this be enough to sneak in?"

Lin Yaoxie rubbed his temples. This person really doesn't have much of a brain. How can the common people rely on him in the future?

"You go and pretend to be one of the Seven Killers, and lie in ambush here. I'll go back to the palace and storm it. Once we get the news and rush over, you can go in and talk. We'll meet at the east gate of the city wall in about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."

Boss!

Meng Xuanlang was deeply moved. If it weren't for Lin Yaoxie, he probably would have fallen into their trap from the very beginning.

Now, the boss not only helped him see the trap, but also helped him come up with a solution!

"Stop with this nonsense! Change your clothes and get over here!" Lin Yaoxie didn't want to look at him again.

"Okay, boss!" Meng Xuanlang jumped into a dark corner. "Boss, be careful."

"Just take care of yourself!" Lin Yaoxie was completely exasperated! So noisy!

Lin Yaoxie returned to the spot where he had just been, and some of the soldiers had already closed their eyes in exhaustion.

"Should we attack directly? Or feign falling into a trap?"

Lin Yaoxie thought for a moment. He decided that he should pretend to be Meng Xuanlang first, and then rush in.

"Mother..." Lin Yaoxie cried out, leaning against the wall, tears streaming down her face. Then she made a move to rush inside!

The officers and soldiers outside couldn't contain themselves and began to move.

The woman playing the empress leaned against the stone table, pretending to be drunk.

Lin Yaoxie thought to himself, "They're all fucking movie stars!" He leaped up and rushed to the stone bench. "Mother!" he cried out.

"Guards! There's an assassin!" Sure enough, a commotion broke out outside the door, and countless soldiers rushed out from all directions. "Make sure to capture them alive!"

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Meeting the Empress Dowager

"He's in Cining Palace! The Dharma Protector has ordered him to be captured alive!" A dark figure arrived at the entrance of Luoying Palace.

"Go!" The many dark figures lying in ambush on the ground quickly flew towards Cixi Palace, hugging the palace walls.

The members of the Seven Killings Sect are not all harmonious; there are often disputes over merit and personal gain.

Meng Xuanlang was initially worried that they might call out to him, but to his surprise, everyone rushed over and ignored him completely, instead fearing being left behind.

Meng Xuanlang breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his boss had succeeded. He should also work harder.

"choke……"
