Xiaohei had already explored the way and brought the two to the Pingyu Palace. The gates of the house were built in a very low-key and simple manner, but the walls of the courtyard were high. Lin Feilu was worried that announcing her arrival would give the enemy time to hide their unruly actions under the carpet, so she planned to sneak in with Xiaohei first to check on the situation.
Lin Ting was a little uneasy, “If this is exposed, what if King Pingyu sends someone to kill you to cover up all that has happened today?”
Lin Feilu said, “Aren’t the Shadow Guards following us? If I don’t come out within the time of a stick of incense, you can bring someone…” She paused before she turned her ears and said, “Brother, do you hear a voice inside? “
There seemed to be a faint sound of fighting occurring within the closed gate.

It was indeed a fight, and it didn’t seem like it was going to remain a still, isolated situation.
She turned her head and said, “There’s a fight inside! Let’s take the opportunity to go in and have a look!”
Lin Ting couldn’t fly, so he could only watch her and Xiaohei scale in through the courtyard wall.
It was very conspicuous to climb over the wall in broad daylight, but the entire personnel of the Pingyu Palace seemed to have gathered in one place. Lin Feilu took Xiaohei and went in easily, following the sound of the brawl all the way to find the source, but she saw that the palace was decorated in a rather extreme manner. It had a luxurious courtyard inside and wine ponds and meat tables laid around— the epitome of extravagance. There were also countless naked women around, the picture of an erotic fantasy right before her eyes.
Because of the fight, these women shivered and shrank to the side. The banquet of musical instruments in the courtyard were thrown to the ground and the guards were besieging a woman in red.
She faced dozens of guards by herself, but she was not afraid at all. With a broadsword, she danced like a tiger and went straight to King Pingyu, who was hiding behind a curtain and surrounded by guards. She shouted, “you slutty thief! I will take this incompetent mutt’s life of yours!”
King Pingyu screamed in horror, “Someone! Somebody! Shoot her to death with arrows for this king!”
Someone next to him said, “My lord, if you let the arrows loose, those beauties will die.”
King Pingyu was furious, “This King’s life is almost over. Why do I have to bother about their lives?! Shoot them all to death!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe woman in red heard this, and her swordsmanship became more and more intense. No matter how great she was, she couldn’t deal with the guards’ tactics and break out. The guards quickly surrounded her with bows and arrows as Lin Feilu hurriedly led Xiao Hei and jumped in, loudly saying, “Stop!”
Seeing that two people jumped in again, King Pingyu suddenly collapsed and said, “Did all the assassins in the world decide to altogether take my life today?”
Lin Feilu shouted, “Uncle 9th King, do not fret.”
King Pingyu was stunned for a while as he looked out through the crowd, “Who? Who was it? Who called me Uncle 9th King?”
Lin Feilu still answered loudly, “Brother Crown Prince and I were passing through Yinzhou, and we wanted to visit Uncle 9th King, but I didn’t expect Uncle to be living such a lively life here.”
King Pingyu was stunned, “What? What? Has the Crown Prince come down to Yinzhou?”
