Although Wang Feng was only cooperating with Lin Yi today, he was waiting for Lin Yi to embarrass himself.
After all, if Lin Yi lost, he would be able to win back the emperor’s attention.
“Surround the mansion,” Lin Yi ordered, smiling nonchalantly.
No one responded.
Everyone was looking at Wang Feng. Only when Wang Feng waved his hand did they collectively agree.
Lin Yi didn’t care about this little trick at all.
Along the way, a few lieutenants surrounded Wang Feng and discussed in low voices.
“Does this person have any ability? He doesn’t look very reliable.”
” That’s right. He wants us to surround the Grand Tutor’s Residence. Does he really think that the three grand dukes are weaklings? What is he thinking?”
” In my opinion, we should gather and charge straight at Xiao Mang. We should take him down before the others can react!”
“Hehe, just wait and see. Once the encirclement is set up, the entire Grand Tutor Manor will definitely be desperate. The defense line formed by our few people will be shattered in minutes.”
“Tell our brothers to be careful. Don’t be led into a trap by a layman like him.”
Wang Feng listened to everyone’s complaints and his face darkened.” Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you can’t complete the mission, someone else will take care of it. Just take care of yourself.”
“Alright.”
The group of lieutenants immediately understood and dispersed to explain to their subordinates.
Lin Yi didn’t stop them.
He didn’t expect these people to be of much use. It was enough to create some momentum.
Grand Tutor Manor.
Ever since the bride kidnapping incident, the entire residence had been on high alert day and night.
As the group of Imperial Guard experts surrounded them, they immediately felt as if they were facing a great enemy.
The housekeeper’s face was livid as he led his men to block the entrance, yelling,”Lin Yi!” My master has already let you off for the previous matter. Don’t be ungrateful and make things worse!”
“The emperor’s edict, please accept, Grand Tutor Xiao.” Lin Yi scanned the crowd and said calmly.
The butler froze.
He had ten thousand reasons to not let Lin Yi in, but in front of the emperor’s decree, all reasons were useless.
Not to mention the Grand Tutor’s Residence, even King Qin’s Residence did not dare to stop them in the slightest.
However, the butler still stuck his neck out and retorted.” If you say the emperor’s decree, then so be it. Who knows if you’re making it up?”
As the steward of the Grand Tutor Manor, he naturally knew that he was taking a risk, or even courting death.
However, Xiao Mang’s current condition was indeed not suitable for him to meet people. As long as there was a one in ten thousand chance, he would fight for it.
“You can try stopping them, maybe you’ll get a surprise.” Lin Yi smiled.
As he spoke, he directly walked into the door.
The butler’s eyes flashed as he stood in front of her.
However, in the next second, the long knife was already placed on his neck.
“Get lost.”
Wang Feng and a few of his men followed behind Lin Yi, their swords unsheathed without a word, their killing intent clear.
It was one thing for them to look down on Lin Yi, but at the very least, they had to fulfill their duties faithfully.
To put it bluntly, if Lin Yi couldn’t complete the task the emperor gave him today, it would be his own fault. But if he couldn’t even get through the door, then it would be their fault.
In the end, the butler could only move aside resentfully.
It couldn’t be helped, these guards really knew how to cut people.
Lin Yi entered the residence.
Wang Feng and the others followed behind him. Looking at the resentful butler and the experts of the Grand Tutor Residence behind him, they could not help but have a solemn expression.
If they had stayed outside, even if they didn’t bring many people with them today, they could at least advance and retreat calmly without any life-threatening danger.
But now, with only a few of them entering the residence, once something happened, they would be caught like turtles in a jar.
The key was that these turtles had come in on their own accord.
” Lord Lin, isn’t this too risky?” Wang Feng couldn’t help but whisper.” Why didn’t you show the emperor’s decree outside the door?”
As soon as the emperor’s decree was issued, Xiao Mang had to come out to receive it no matter what. There was no need for him to take the risk alone like now.
In his eyes, Lin Yi was just putting on a show, using their lives to increase his presence in Tian Zi’s eyes.
Something that was originally not dangerous had to be dangerous!
“Are you scared, Vice Commander Wang?” Lin Yi stopped and looked back at him.
The corner of Wang Feng’s mouth twitched, but he did not say anything else. However, he was even more disdainful in his heart.
Lin Yi’s image in his eyes right now was that of a jester.
The housekeeper followed him and led the way with a dark face.
Soon, everyone arrived at the main hall of the Grand Tutor Manor.
Lin Yi’s eyelids twitched as he looked at Xiao Mang, who was sitting at the head of the table with a red face. This was completely different from what he had expected.
Logically speaking, with the collapse of the moral role model, the other party should have already suffered an extremely serious backlash.
Previously, he had been forced to use the moral monument to suppress public opinion. This in itself was evidence that the other party had been forced into a corner.
But looking at Xiao Mang’s current condition, not only was he not weak at all, but he was even better than usual. It was really abnormal.
“Lin Yi, you still owe me a concubine. When are you going to return it?” Xiao Mang stood up slowly.
“That doesn’t sound like something a moral role model would say.” Lin Yi paused, a strange expression on his face.
“Morality is in the heart, not in the mouth.”
Xiao Mang seemed to be fearless. Then, he changed the topic.” If you really like my concubine, I don’t mind giving her to you. I don’t lack the desire to help others. However, you might have to compensate me in other ways.”
What he meant was self-evident.
Lin Yi looked at the man for a while.” It seems like these two days have dealt a big blow to Grand Tutor Xiao. I came with the emperor’s decree. It’s not appropriate for Grand Tutor Xiao to make a deal with me so blatantly, right?”
” Haha!” Xiao Mang laughed nonchalantly.” Everything in the world is a transaction. There’s nothing inappropriate about it.”
Lin Yi was surprised.
The title of moral role model was not given for nothing. If one said something wrong, they would immediately suffer a backlash.
The other party’s words had completely subverted the foundation of morality. Logically speaking, the backlash should be extremely heavy at this moment.
However, looking at Xiao Mang’s posture, not only did he not feel uncomfortable at all, but he was even more pleased with himself.
“What if I don’t want to talk about this deal?” Lin Yi asked.
Xiao Mang said indifferently,” Since you’ve chosen to enter the trap with your own body, it doesn’t matter whether you’re willing or not. You have no other choice. We can only see the final outcome.”
“Are you that confident that you’ll have the last laugh?” Lin Yi asked curiously.
