1539: C1539 Identity Exposure

C1539 Identity Exposure

In Huo Qing's opinion, this sword strike of his must have heavily injured Lin Long.

Because of this feeling, he felt that it would be better to first capture the thief and the king, and then directly take down Lin Long. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about being attacked by the Runic wood man behind him.

As his mind raced, Lin Long was immediately sent flying.

Huo Qing only thought that Lin Long was seriously injured by his attack, and immediately dashed towards Lin Long after his attack succeeded.

But in the next moment, his expression immediately became unsightly, because Lin Long actually stood up very quickly and swiftly flew out.

Crap! Seeing Lin Long running away, Huo Qing could not help but scream in his heart.

Because his pause was obviously giving the Rune wood man behind him an opportunity, indeed, in the next moment, a powerful fist force immediately attacked him from behind.

If Lin Long was unable to leave, he would have definitely captured Lin Long and used him to deal with this wood man rune.

However, right now, the only thing he could do was to turn around and block this attack of the Rune wood man. However, he was originally weaker than the Rune wood man, and now that she was in such a hurry, how could she be a match for the Rune wood man?

This time, he even broke a big tree not far away from him that was big enough to be hugged by several people.

In a short moment, the Qi and blood in his chest churned. Before he could stand up, Rune wood man's huge fist came attacking again.

He could only brace himself and strike out.

When the force hit him again, he was once again sent flying. This time around, he, who was in mid-air, directly spat out a mouthful of blood. It was evident that he had suffered quite a few injuries.

The Rune wood man would naturally not let go of this opportunity. After throwing a few more punches, it directly smashed Huo Qing until he was unable to move anymore.

"Tang Li, where did you get such powerful Runic wood man?" Seeing Lin Long walking over, Huo Qing asked unhappily.

"It's a long story, so I won't tell you." Lin Long said indifferently, his expression suddenly turned cold, "You are following me because you are from the King of Southern Jin, what did he discover?"

"Of course I won't tell you that!" Huo Qing said coldly.

"It's not up to you." Smiling faintly, Lin Long immediately placed a restriction on Huo Qing.

Once the restriction was activated, Huo Qing immediately rolled on the ground in pain, and begged for forgiveness after a long while. "Tang Li, I'll tell you."

Seeing him act this way, Lin Long removed the restrictions, causing Huo Qing, who had experienced the pain of the restrictions, to become dishonest, and immediately said, "I didn't come to follow you because of King of Southern Jin's intentions, but because I felt that following you would allow me to discover some of your secrets, so I wanted to gain some merits by doing so."

"Is that so?" Lin Long nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Then can you let me go?" Huo Qing quickly replied.

"I'm sorry." With that said, the Rune wood man beside Lin Long directly punched him on the head, causing him to fall.

After that, Lin Long took the dimensional stone and left.

Originally, Lin Long wanted to hide in the Imperial Palace and see if he could obtain the other half of the Cold Moon Ice Art. But now that such a thing had happened, he could only leave.

In the future, when his strength had increased, he would return home, Lin Long thought.

Within the Imperial Palace, a person in official uniform was brought before the First Prince, Wu Anbang. If Lin Long was here, he would definitely have realised that this person was the same Lord Gou from before.

"First Prince, what business do you have with me?" Seeing Wu Anbang, Master Gou's voice had already started to tremble.

"Tell me, where did that Tang Li come from?" Wu Anbang stared at Lord Gou and said.

After the martial arts competition was over, one of the people by Lord Gou's side informed him that Tang Li's origin was not right. Previously, it seemed like he had paid Lord Gou to participate.

The person who leaked the information was one of Lord Gou's trusted aides, and the reason why he leaked the information was entirely because he discovered that Lin Long had actually obtained first place.

If such a thing were to be exposed, it would definitely be a great merit. Moreover, if he did not reveal it, the Emperor would eventually discover that Lin Long's identity was not right.

It was also because of this that Lord Gou's trusted aides had given their all and directly told this matter to the First Prince.

Actually, after seeing Lin Long obtain first place, Lord Gou had also been panicking. He had already wanted to run away, but who would have thought that he would be captured by the First Prince's men before he could even run away.

"He … he is …" Lord Gou panicked to the point that his tongue was tied. He didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, if you can reveal his background, I might be able to spare your life!" Wu Anbang said coldly.

Upon hearing his words, Lord Gou slightly heaved a sigh of relief, then hurriedly said, "First Prince, this humble subject does not know the true identity of that person. I only know that he came to contact me through a person named Yu Du."

"Nothing?" Hearing Master Gou's words, Wu Anbang was so angry that he almost died.

"First Prince, this is this humble subject's fault!" Lord Gou said with a sullen face.

Wu Anbang knew that now was not the time to pursue this matter, and immediately asked, "Then who is Yu Du, and where is he?"

"Yu Du is just a hoodlum in the Imperial City!" Lord Gou said.

"Then, bring this prince to Yu Du now?" Wu Anbang said coldly.

Immediately, Wu Anbang led Lord Gou out. After arriving outside, he immediately stopped whatever it was that was on his mind, and ordered his two subordinates, "The two of you, lead your people to Gou Wen and capture Yu Dandao."

"Yes sir!" The two immediately nodded in agreement, and then led Lord Gou and a few others out of the Imperial Palace.

As for Wu Anbang, his direction was actually the An Ruo Palace.

Initially, he had wanted to bring his men to capture Yu Du. However, he recalled that the main culprit was An Ruo Palace, and it wouldn't be good if the culprit took advantage of his departure to escape. Thus, he changed his mind and brought his men to kill at once.

Soon, he arrived in front of the An Ruo Palace.

"First Prince, what's the matter?" Seeing that the First Prince was charging over with his men, the Sun Gonggong hurriedly welcomed him.

"Then is Tang Li here?" The First Prince said coldly.

"The Tang Guard is not here." Sun Gonggong immediately said.

"Not here?" Wu Anbang frowned, he did not believe it, so he immediately said to Sun Gonggong, "Sun Gonggong, please move aside, we need to go in and capture Tang Li!"

"What crime has Tang Li committed?" The Sun Gonggong was shocked and hurriedly asked.

"The sin of bullying the sovereign!" Wu Anbang's expression darkened even more as he directly pushed the Sun Gonggong away, then led the rest and barged in.

However, just as he took a few steps inside, he stopped again because Seventh Princess was already standing in front of him.

"Big brother, what are you doing?" Seventh Princess frowned.

"Sister, Big Brother is here to capture Tang Li!" Wu Anbang said directly.

"What crime did the Tang Guard commit?" Seventh Princess was also shocked, and hurriedly asked.

"The Tang guards aren't from the Southern Spring City's Tang Clan. This prince suspects that he is rebelling against the Wu forces and infiltrating the Imperial Palace has a hidden motive. That's why he brought people to capture him!" Wu Anbang said.

"Big Brother, do you have evidence?" Seventh Princess could not help but ask. She believed in Lin Long, and at this moment, she felt that Wu Anbang was simply creating something out of nothing.

Evidence? Hearing Seventh Princess's words, Wu Anbang's face twitched, the only evidence was already being shouted at by him, how could he have any evidence now.

"In short, Tang Li's identity is completely fake. He has committed the crime of deceiving the monarch, so we must capture him!" Wu Anbang could only say this.1

Seventh Princess did not care about all that. She still stood in front of Wu Anbang, blocking his way, and continued to speak, "Big brother, words have no basis!"

Wu Anbang did not care anymore as he ordered his men, "Search the An Ruo Palace immediately!"

With that, his subordinates immediately rushed inside.

Seventh Princess immediately shouted, "Sun Gonggong, chase them away!"

Hearing her words, Sun Gonggong immediately took action, forcing those who had just taken a few steps back.

"Little sister, you …" Wu Anbang's face became unsightly, he had not brought anyone along, and the person he brought was not a match for Sun Gonggong, so if Seventh Princess was determined to stop him, he would not be able to rush in.

"Brother, it's still the same old saying. Words are not true!" The Seventh Princess said coldly.

"That's good. Then Big Brother, I can only take a walk over to royal father's place." With that, Wu Anbang directly said to his subordinates, "Let's go!"

The group of people then walked out, but he did not leave the An Ruo Palace after they left. He stayed outside to monitor them, and then sent a subordinate to report this information to Emperor Wu Xuanran.

"What?" There is no such person as Tang Li in the Southern Spring City's Tang Family? " Hearing this information, Wu Xuanran's face immediately sank.

To be honest, he was somewhat happy at this time, because if this matter was true, Seventh Princess did not need to marry Tang Li.

While he was delighted, he was naturally infuriated. After all, he had been deceived by the emperor.

After which, Wu Xuanran immediately brought a group of people and charged towards the An Ruo Palace.

Seeing Wu Xuanran appear, Wu Anbang naturally welcomed him joyfully.

"Anbang, is this true?" Seeing Wu Anbang, Wu Xuanran immediately asked.

"Father, it is absolutely true. I have already sent out the misrepresentation of the truth in this matter. Otherwise, he would have been able to tell you the whole story." Wu Anbang hurriedly said.

"So it's like that, then let's catch this Tang Li first." Wu Xuanran nodded.

The group immediately headed for the hall of An Ruo.

Before they could go in, Seventh Princess had already brought Sun Gonggong and the others out.

Seeing the emperor Wu Xuanran personally bringing people over, Seventh Princess's expression naturally changed. She hurriedly asked, "Royal father, what business do you have?"

Although he asked that question, he was actually worried about whether Lin Long's identity was real or fake.
