Chapter 398 Fighting With The Lazy Captain [1]
"Your majesty, you want us to come up with a plan to gather everyone in one place." The minister came forward and expressed his view on the topic. "But I am sure you know that they would think we have some ulterior motive in gathering them there."
"There is an ulterior motive for me to gather them there, but I want you to make sure they don't think that." Wuhan waved his hands while looking at the minister.
"But that's impossible." Suddenly, one of the scholars came forward and raised his view. As soon as he spoke, the minister looked at the man sharply.
"With all due respect, Your Majesty! These people, especially the older generation, are too paranoid about everything." Gulping down under the gaze of the prime minister, the scholar chose his words carefully and gave Wuhan his opinion.
"Indeed, if you tell them you want to give them a pill for free, they will think it's a poison." Seeing the Emperor listening to the words of his colleague, the other scholar came forward and continued along.
"We have to find a legitimate reason for them to come forward and gather in one place." The first scholar frowned at seeing what the other scholar did but continued without saying or pointing anything.
They did not realize that while they were speaking, the prime minister on the side was smirking the entire time, looking at the two of them going back and forth.
"Even if you give them a legitimate reason, what makes you think they will definitely attend whatever gathering you are going to make them attend?" After seeing that they were almost on the same page, he spoke up, stirring the conversation.
"They just need a doubt that someone is going to make a move against them, and they will make sure that they do anything in their power to not attend at any cost."
"But it's not like we are going to make a move against them. We just want to gather them in one place." The second scholar asked with a confused look on his face.
While he was thinking, the other scholar looked at Wuhan. Seeing the indifferent look on his face, he turned to the minister. Seeing the smirk plastered on his face, his face paled.
"What if I want to make a move against them?" Wuhan's words dropped the bombshell that not only made the first scholar's face paler but also made the second one bite his tongue.
They had been thinking that Wuhan wanted to gather them in one place for some kind of event but it never occurred to them that he was going to go after these families while they were going to attend that event.
"I apologize for their insolent behavior, Your Majesty!" The prime minister suddenly exclaimed while bowing to the emperor. Hearing his words, the other two snapped out of their daze and bowed along with him.
"Forgive us, Your Majesty!"
"Don't waste your time on these wasteful talks. I need a solution and I need it soo—" Just as Wuhan was about to complete his words, he stopped in between and turned his face in a certain direction.
With a wave of his hands, he made the array formation in the room disappear.
*BOOoooM!*n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
As soon as he did that, a huge explosion sounded in the area. The aftermath of the blast caused the ground to shake.
*Clank!*
He got up from his seat and walked out of the room. The prime minister and the scholars followed after him hurriedly and left the room.

"I am not a battle maniac like a certain brain-dead monkey here, but I sure as hell don't like wasting my time for nothing." The black sword reappeared once more, stopping a punch from landing on its user's face.
"I made a mistake coming back from the vacation…" The middle-aged man sighed, realizing that he would have to waste more energy on the boy.
While they were talking, Bai Chen in the back coughed up a mouthful of blood. "Who… are you calling brain-dead?"
Wiping the blood off his face, he looked at the boy and asked with bloodshot eyes.
"Maybe not as much dead as we thought…" Nuo Yan commented. The impressed look on his face did not help his words at all.
*Pitu!*
"...you!" He spewed another mouthful of blood on the ground, looking at him like he was going to rip the boy to shreds.
He looked at the other two people he thought would help him. Hu Fei immediately looked away at the first chance she got, and the other guy was too forgetful and lazy to even care about him.
"You all…" Seeing them not defending him, Bai Chen almost went into Qi deviation.
*Woosh!*
His words were cut short when the array all around them started to act up. Stay updated with empire
They watched as the cube that entrapped them in the area suddenly started to glow, and a huge array circle appeared on the top face of the cube.
"This is a simple Tier 3 array formation." Captain Black Sword yawned before making an observation.
"Now you can remember what arrays look like." Nuo Yan rolled his eyes with an annoyed look on his face.
"Hmm… you know that this won't work on any of us?" ignoring the comment one more time, he asked back.
"It cannot work against you, but it can work against them." With a smirk on his face, the boy waved his fingers, and several illusionary swords made out of qi appeared from the array.
They all pointed at the guards lying on the ground. Since they were unconscious, they could not do anything to protect themselves. The whole area within the bounds of the array was filled with such guards.
"You disgusting piece of trash!" Hu Fei exclaimed in anger, seeing the swords pointing at the guards.
The head captain also frowned, uncomfortable with the boy's action. He noticed and realized that some of the people lying there were from the same group he met before.
Even though he did not remember their identities, he did not like the feeling of seeing their lives being threatened.
What do you think?
