Chapter 305: Chapter 303: Thunder Rising from the Drought Land
“What on earth are you trying to do? Why did you arrange those armors in a circle?”
Watching Lin Yi’s actions, the young Emperor couldn’t help but speak out eventually, only to be met with a mysterious smile from Lin Yi.
Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Yi directly pulled the Emperor to a few hundred meters away.
Although the Emperor felt butterflies in her stomach due to his actions, the people around them didn’t think there was anything inappropriate.
After all, Lin Yi was just an eunuch.
An eunuch pulling the Emperor along isn’t something out of the ordinary, right?
Moreover, since the Emperor was dressed as a man, no one would suspect any kind of unusual relationship between the Emperor and this little eunuch.
Yet, the Emperor knew well the formidable nature of this man.
Thus, being pulled along by him under the gazes of the bystanders left the Emperor feeling somewhat bashful, especially aware of her own identity.
“Your Majesty, don’t be anxious, you’ll understand everything soon.
However, we must keep some distance here; it’s very dangerous. Your Majesty, please stand behind this wall. Observing from here would be fine.”
After ensuring the Emperor’s safety, Lin Yi quickly ran back.
Holding an iron clump in his hand all the while.
This action made the Emperor furrow her brows even deeper.
Ying Yi also appeared immediately by the Emperor’s side.
The Emperor didn’t look at Ying Yi, but asked:
“Ying Yi, do you know what he is up to?”
Hearing this, Ying Yi lowered his head:
“Your Majesty, this servant does not know what Eunuch Lin is doing.”
“When he had you gather these armors, did he mention their purpose?”
“Eunuch Lin did not tell us.”
After a few inquiries did not yield the answers she sought, the Emperor opted to remain silent.
Just watching Lin Yi intently in the arena.
Seeing that he ran a few steps and got within just dozens of meters from the armors,
After looking around and seeing that everyone was far away, he nodded in satisfaction.
Then, under the bewildered gaze of the Emperor, he took out a flint from his bosom.
Immediately lighting it, he held it close to a small string on the iron clump.
The small string began to spark hissingly, much to the astonishment of the Emperor.
Unknown what the object was, why did it produce such sparks when the flint got close?
At that moment, Lin Yi threw the iron clump.
With a thud, it landed precisely in the center of the circle of armor.
This action made the Emperor nod in acknowledgment, acknowledging Lin Yi’s improvement in martial force.
Just from the landing spot of the iron ball, one could tell that his control over his strength was formidable.
However, just as she was internally commenting on his improved martial skills, Lin Yi suddenly broke into a sprint towards her.
This scene made the Emperor slightly furrow her brow, wondering why he was rushing over so hurriedly; what was he trying to imply?
Furthermore, watching Lin Yi running towards her, the Emperor grew even more puzzled, unsure what he intended by throwing that iron clump.
Why place it among those armors? What deep significance did it hold?
Just at this moment, as the young Emperor’s thoughts were rapidly turning, Lin Yi had already hurriedly run to the front of the young Emperor.
Then, he directly tackled the young Emperor to the ground, while also loudly shouting:
This move completely dumbfounded Ying Yi.
If it weren’t for the fact that Lin Yi was the one doing it, the person rushing towards the young Emperor would have probably been split into two by her sword already.
Didn’t you see Ying Yi’s palm already gripping the hilt, and the blade was already half drawn?
If not for knowing that Lin Yi would not harm His Majesty, Ying Yi’s sword would have already charged out quickly.
Amidst this unforeseen situation, the young Emperor was directly toppled to the ground by Lin Yi, which left her extremely puzzled and annoyed.
And soon her eyes filled with a hint of anger.
She had the intention to reprimand this ruffian a few words, especially since this was in the presence of a large crowd, surrounded by countless soldiers.
At this moment, he was directly pressing down on my body, how am I to handle this?
However, just at this moment, just when the young Emperor was thinking about how to speak.
Just when Ying Yi was looking over somewhat awkwardly.
Just when all the soldiers had no idea what had happened, curiously glancing over here, wondering what had come over Eunuch Lin.
Suddenly, a loud boom was heard from the arena.
Followed by the ground beneath their feet trembling.
This sudden boom and trembling directly frightened all the nearby soldiers.
Their weapons were dropped unknowingly, and out of fear, they knelt on the ground, continuously praying.
Meanwhile, their ears were buzzing from the shock.
Had they ever seen such a scene?
For a moment, they thought it must be the Thunder God showing his might.
Or perhaps someone had committed such an act that the Immortals in the heavens knew of, hence specifically sending down thunder as punishment.
And this place was the training ground, the Imperial Palace’s training ground!
Precisely because of this, when the heavens send down thunder, it must be because of the Emperor!
Thinking this, their hearts were already filled with a sense of fear.
Could it be that heaven really disapproved of this Emperor?
Is the Emperor’s time really coming to an end?
Do not doubt the richness of these people’s imagination; it is just that people in this society generally tend to be very superstitious.
How could this sudden sound of thunder on a clear day not shock them?
How could it not make them feel fear?
Not just the surrounding soldiers, under this loud boom, whether it was the young Emperor or Ying Yi, both were startled.
Each of them had their mouths wide open, eyes wide, filled with a fearful expression.
Especially when their gaze turned towards the middle of the arena, they saw thick smoke constantly drifting out from amongst those pieces of armor, which shocked them even more.
For a good long while, the young Emperor still hadn’t regained his senses.
At this moment, Lin Yi,
