I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

Wang An looked shocked and kept kneeling down to admit his mistake and beg for mercy.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

No matter how much he prayed, King Yan remained unmoved, his eyes filled with coldness.

The guards dragged Wang An down and when they were about to execute him, Wang An could only resist with all his strength.

He knew that if he obeyed, he would only die, so he might as well give it a try, maybe he would have a chance to survive!
Seeing that he dared to do something in front of him, King Yan's eyes became even more stern and he said coldly.

"Capture the person, don't show mercy, execute him immediately!"

Following his order, seven or eight great masters in the palace all took action and attacked Wang Anxun.

He knew that he could not withstand these people's moves, so he simply closed his eyes and accepted his death calmly.

But before he died, he was unwilling to give in. He opened his eyes suddenly and stared at the people in front of him. His face was full of self-deprecating smiles, which even more satirized their situation.

"What I am like now is what you have followed. We are all great masters. It is extremely difficult to practice, but it is ruined today. Don't worry, your end will not be much better than mine!"

With his wry smile, the great masters all exerted their strength. Wang An was instantly stunned and completely disappeared.

However, King Yan was not affected by his words in the slightest. He just glanced at several great masters and said something unhurriedly.

"Remember, this is the fate of betraying me. If any of you dare to betray me in the future, this is the fate. Don't go there. Why did I come back to you!"

Everyone agreed in unison, bowed their heads, and watched King Yan leave.

After he left, everyone looked at each other with horror in their hearts.

They understood that King Yan's words were not just a simple reminder, but also a naked threat.

If they dare to have any bad intentions, Wang An will be their fate.

After exiting the palace, several people gathered together, discussing in low voices and whispering.

"If this continues, I'm afraid that we and Wang An will end up in the same fate. When the prince recruited us, he didn't talk like this. Now he treats our lives with such contempt, and he really treats us like nothing!"

"You can tell how ruthless he is because he loves you because of what he said at the time! If this continues, we won't end up well. We still need to find a way as soon as possible to break away!"

After hearing this, one of the oldest people sighed.

"It's easier said than done. He is the Flame King. Who among us can fight against him? If we want to leave, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. He has other great masters under his command. Are we opponents?"

After a moment of silence, one of the youngest Grand Masters came up with an idea.

"How about we go find Jiang Linglong?"

No one expected that he would say this. Everyone looked at him with shock in their eyes. They did not expect that he would say this.

Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, he explained calmly.

"Now, we have no way out. The only way is to find new shelter. Now the only one who can compete with the King of Flame is Jiang Linglong. Wouldn't it be better for the few of us to seek her help and abandon the darkness and turn to the light?"

A few people debated for a while and finally decided to do what he said.

Judging from the current situation, there is no way out for them to follow King Yan.

If that's the case, it's better to find another way to make a living. After several people sneaked out of Prince Yan's Mansion, they did not go to Zhu Feng immediately, but went to Commander Zhao first.

They knew very well that if they wanted to take refuge in Jiang Linglong, just having such an idea was not enough. They also had to be introduced by someone, otherwise they would not be able to meet Jiang Linglong at all!
Commander Zhao was very surprised when he saw them coming, especially after learning their purpose.

"You are all people close to King Yan. Now that you want to take refuge with His Majesty, are you sincere or do you have other motives?"

Seeing the directness of his question, one of the great masters also revealed their purpose.

"The Flame King has killed one of us and failed to give us what we wanted as promised. If that's the case, why should we continue to work for him?"

"Now that we want to leave, it's not easy. We can only come to the Prime Minister to seek His Majesty's asylum. We also ask Your Majesty to help introduce him! We are willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty, no matter what!"

Seeing the sincerity of these people, Commander Zhao believed a lot in his heart.

However, for the sake of caution, he did not agree immediately, but instead gave a solution.

"It's better than this. You guys will stay in my house for the next few days. I have a lot of great masters here. Maybe you guys know them."

"As for this matter, I need to go to the palace and report back to His Majesty. As for His Majesty's thoughts, I don't know yet, and I can't speculate on it!"

Hearing what he said, the great masters had no objections.

Anyway, they can stay in the General's Mansion temporarily, which is a good choice.

From the moment they stepped in, several people knew that there was no way for them to return to Prince Yan's Mansion. There was no turning back.

However, their whereabouts were still known by King Yan's spies, who went to report the matter to King Yan.

After learning about this, King Yan frowned in confusion.

"What did they go to Commander Zhao for? Did they do anything?"

Faced with the question, the spy shook his head and replied.

"It's not like I didn't do anything. I just went in and didn't come out again. I don't know what I did there."

As soon as these words came out, King Yan narrowed his eyes and thought in his heart.

Is it possible that these people are Commander Zhao's spies under his command? Are you constantly monitoring your every move?
On second thought, I thought it was impossible.

So many people are too ostentatious and attract attention.

Even if there is something important to report, you only need to send one or two people back to report it. Is it necessary to send all seven or eight people back? It's like he's afraid that others won't see it.

King Yan couldn't figure out the specific situation, and he could only figure out what was going on after the people came back.

He glanced at the secret agent and said.

"Keep watching. If there is any trouble, please notify me in time!"

After the spy went out, King Yan began to have doubts in his heart. He did not think that these great masters under him had any purpose. Instead, it was Commander Zhao. Maybe he was planning something.

In this way, it is for Jiang Linglong, so that she can manage Dazhou safely without any accidents. (End of chapter)
