Chapter 2161: Chapter 2161: This Time, He Failed

In the eyes of the other State Knights, a tinge of excitement could also be seen, and one of them even took a step forward, as if wanting to ask, “May I also join the beating party, is that alright?”

Truly, the actions of the Emperor of Beikun in recent years were unbearable to witness, and they had long since grown discontented.

If he were not the Emperor of Beikun Kingdom, they would have beaten him up long ago. As State Knights, the very reason they remained despite their displeasure was only in the hopes of persuading the Emperor when he made some muddled decisions, or alternatively, to do some practical work for the common people.

To be honest, without these State Knights, the lives of the citizens of Beikun Kingdom would definitely have been even more miserable.

“Stop hitting him, stop! I’ll give triple, no, five times the amount, as long as you bring me those two whelps from the Yiinn Family. Whatever you want, I can give it to you!”

Even now, the Emperor of Beikun still believed he could buy these people over with a hefty reward, making them his own.

An Jiuyue truly despised the Emperor of Beikun for this; it was so clear that they wanted to vent their anger through beating, and yet he still thought he could bribe them with high prices?

He even wanted to kidnap those two children from the Yiinn Family; this was a suicide mission.

Although that man deserved to die, she had never seen anyone quite so eager to seek death. Isn’t it just extraordinarily bizarre?

“Beat him to death for me!”

With such a mindless person sitting on the throne, what else could befall Beikun Kingdom but its downfall?

“Stop!”

Finally, the people outside couldn’t stand it anymore; the Chief of the Imperial Guards charged in with several guards.

Seeing His Majesty being beaten to the point of curling up and rolling on the ground, the Chief was furious, and with sword in hand, he swung directly at An Jiuyue.

He had heard it all too clearly from outside, among these people; it was this woman who kept ranting nonsensically.

If they could take this woman down, the others would surely hold back for fear of hurting her inadvertently, and things would be much easier to handle.

But what he hadn’t anticipated was that even without An Jiuyue and her companions fighting back, someone else would stop him. Just as his sword was about to touch An Jiuyue, State Scholar Qing flashed to his side and with a raise of his hand, sent the sword flying out of his grip.

“State Scholar Qing… what are you doing?”

It took him a while to snap out of it, and he turned to look at State Scholar Qing with disbelief in his eyes.

It seemed that he had never expected to be betrayed by one of their own Beikun Kingdom’s State Knights, people who were supported by the considerable financial and material resources of the kingdom, daring to lay hands on him.

More importantly, he was just about to succeed in pressing the knife against that woman’s neck!

But because of State Scholar Qing’s intervention, he had failed.

“They are the enemies, State Scholar Qing, did you mistake the target?” he asked through gritted teeth, questioning State Scholar Qing.

State Scholar Qing nearly lost his patience with the stupidity of the Chief of the Imperial Guards.

What kind of master, such are his subordinates–this Chief of the Imperial Guards really was cut from the same cloth as the Emperor of Beikun.

He took a deep breath, raised his hand, and sent the man flying out with a One Palm Strike.

Seeing this, the other State Knights followed State Scholar Qing’s lead and sent the remaining guards flying out as well. Then, they walked to the entrance of the imperial study room, blocking all the guards outside, preventing any of them from entering the imperial study room.
