Chapter 321: Once Again Employed by the Emperor
After that fierce battle, the palace temporarily returned to peace. The outstanding performance of Lin Feng and others made the emperor look at them with new eyes.
In the palace hall, the emperor sat on the throne, gazing majestically at Lin Feng and others below.
"Lin Feng, I am very pleased that you have shown bravery in this crisis." The emperor's voice echoed in the hall.
Lin Feng took a step forward and said respectfully, "It is our honor to serve the Emperor."
A Qiang couldn't help but secretly look up at the Emperor, his heart filled with excitement.
Wang Meng straightened his back, his face filled with pride.
The Emperor nodded slightly and continued, "The situation in the palace is still complicated. I have decided to use you again. I hope you can do your best for the stability of the palace."
Zhao Xue bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. We will definitely fulfill our mission."
Lu Yun and Li San also said in unison: "We are willing to help the Emperor solve his problems."
The Emperor smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, Lin Feng, I order you to investigate the mastermind behind this enemy attack. Make sure to find him out."
Lin Feng accepted the order: "Yes, Emperor!"
After everyone retreated, they began to discuss the next course of action.
"The Emperor trusts us so much this time, we can't let him down." Lin Feng said seriously.
Wang Meng patted his chest and said, "Brother Lin, don't worry, I will do my best."
Ah Qiang said with some concern: "But the mastermind behind this is hiding so deeply, it may not be easy to find out."
Zhao Xue comforted her, "Don't be discouraged. We can start with the clues from the last battle and we will definitely find some clues."
Lu Yun thought for a moment and said, "I think we can analyze the enemy's equipment and tactics and perhaps deduce their origins."
Li San nodded in agreement: "That's right, and we also need to pay attention to the movements of people within the palace, there might be a mole."
So, Lin Feng and others began an intense investigation.
They went through every corner of the palace, questioning witnesses and examining battlefield relics.
In an abandoned barracks, Lin Feng discovered some strange symbols.
"What is this?" Aqiang came over and asked.
Lin Feng observed carefully: "It looks like some kind of secret code."
At this moment, a mysterious figure flashed past them from behind.
"Who?" Wang Meng shouted and chased after him.
Everyone followed closely and surrounded the mysterious man in the palace garden.
"Who are you? Why are you sneaking around?" Lin Feng asked.
The mysterious man sneered: "Don't waste your energy, you won't find out the truth."
Zhao Xue said, "If you don't tell the truth, don't blame us for being rude."
The mysterious man suddenly attacked and started fighting with everyone.
Wang Meng swung his battle axe violently, but the mysterious man dodged it skillfully.
"This guy is quite skilled." Wang Meng said.
Lu Yun flashed and stabbed at the mysterious man. The mysterious man turned sideways and hit Lu Yun back.
Li San took the opportunity to cast a spell, and a ray of light restrained the mysterious man's movements.
"Tell me quickly, who sent you?" Lin Feng pointed his sword at the mysterious man.
The mysterious man gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, don't be complacent. Your enemy is far more powerful than you think."
At this moment, a puff of black smoke suddenly emerged from the mysterious man's body and he disappeared.
"What's going on?" Aqiang opened his mouth in surprise.
Lin Feng frowned: "It seems that the power behind this is not simple."
After some investigation, Lin Feng and others finally found some key clues and gradually approached the truth.
However, what they didn't know was that a greater danger was waiting for them...
