CHAPTER 2231: CHAPTER 2231: IT’S ALSO HIS BAD LUCK

"It’s the Flying Cloud boots of the Feather Forest Guards who protect the imperial city. Only the Flying Cloud boots could make such an earth-shaking presence, and that Golden Signal Bell, it’s the unique sound emitted by the bell adorning the Feather Forest Guards’ battle robes."

"What? Feather Forest Guards?"

"Hurry, stand up straight, get up quickly."

"Don’t pull me, what are you doing, stop dragging me."

Upon hearing this, who would dare to keep sitting? Each of them scrambled to their feet, vying to stand up first.

"What are you dawdling for? Go on patrol at once. Do you want to wait for the Emperor’s men to twist your heads off?" The Tomb Guard captain’s face turned even more unsightly upon hearing the three words ’Feather Forest Guards’.

In the dead of night, why would the Feather Forest Guards come here? They must be following some important figure.

And that figure, aside from Emperor Ziyan, could be no other for, after all, who else could command the Feather Forest Guards?

Hearing the words of the Tomb Guard captain, the guards virtually vanished in an instant, running off without a trace.

Who would dare to slack off in front of the Feather Forest Guards? If caught, they could very well lose their heads on the spot!

The Tomb Guard captain watched as they fled faster than rabbits, shaking his head helplessly.

But soon, as he turned around, he saw the royal carriage of Emperor Ziyan, adorned with a pure gold phoenix, approaching from afar.

He was startled on the spot.

Has Emperor Ziyan come in person?

It was said that thieves had stirred trouble again within the imperial mausoleum, yet they were not captured.

But for a few thieves, it was more than enough to dispatch the Feather Forest Guards. Why would Emperor Ziyan come personally, and furthermore, at such a late hour?

Could it be true, as the Tomb Guards said, that something important remained hidden within the imperial mausoleum?

However, no matter what might be inside the mausoleum at this moment, he could no longer stay here.

With the mausoleum defiled and thieves having emerged, Emperor Ziyan’s heart must be aflame with fury. Now was certainly not the time to willingly present himself to be the Emperor’s vent for anger.

Thinking this, the Tomb Guard captain’s figure flickered, and he quickly followed the other guards, disappearing into the woods.

Emperor Ziyan arrived at the imperial mausoleum with incredible speed on his royal carriage.

Throughout the journey, Emperor Ziyan, sitting in the carriage, kept urging for greater speed, pushing the Chief Steward who was driving the carriage to the verge of being sick.

But the Chief Steward had no choice but to respond and drive at the fastest speed to reach the imperial mausoleum.

Even so, in the eyes of Emperor Ziyan, he was still too slow and failed to receive any favor.

When Emperor Ziyan alighted from the carriage and looked at the Chief Steward, his gaze was as if he was staring at garbage, full of displeasure. He even glared at him and flung his sleeve heavily.

Chief Steward: "..."

Who had he offended? He was already fast, was such treatment necessary?

Moreover, if His Majesty wanted to get there quicker, why not travel on a flying mount instead? That would certainly be faster.

But he knew that Emperor Ziyan, as the sovereign of the nation, would naturally not expose himself by riding a flying mount through the air, choosing the carriage instead.

Alas, it was just his bad luck.

"Your Majesty, the imperial mausoleum is very quiet inside. Could it be that the Tomb Guards were mistaken?"

He carefully assisted Emperor Ziyan, observing inside the mausoleum. It did not seem to fit the Tomb Guards’ description of suffering another petty theft.

"Could it be that the general has deceived Your Majesty...uh!"
