Chapter 315 The Special Envoy’s Favor Is Not Over Yet
The carnival lasted for a full hour before it ended.
All the guests woke up from their revelry, but everyone was so tired that they collapsed in their chairs, unable to even move a finger.
Both mentally and physically, there are symptoms of extreme fatigue after a carnival, as if entering the sage time.
The staff of Yongle City had been waiting for a long time and quickly put blood-red capsules into the mouths of each guest and served them to take.
The guests who have come here several times all have delighted expressions on their faces. These capsules are extracts from the blood of vampires, which can not only eliminate fatigue and overcome illness, but can even increase lifespan.
This is the mysterious little gift that Yongle City prepares for every guest who participates in the carnival celebration.
A few vampire guests received non-toxic demon blood that could enhance their own strength, which was considered a valuable gift.
On the stage, the beautiful singer said goodbye with a tired look on her face.
There was a wave of applause in the theater immediately. All the guests who were captivated by the singing and experienced the revelry were willing to give the beautiful singer their warmest applause.
It can be seen from their enthusiastic expressions that every guest is extremely satisfied with the performance, even addicted to it.
After No. 1 and the other two woke up, shame appeared on their faces. As bodyguards, they had unknowingly had their minds controlled and had even done extremely shameful things.
Especially No. 1 and No. 2, they wanted to strangle each other to death - why the hell were you hugging me just now? And you were touching me everywhere.
Shen Cheng did not blame them. Seeing that tonight's performance was almost over, he asked the three of them to invite Jin Yan to come over and meet him.
He had already made an agreement with Gao Yi to control Jin Yan for a period of time at a specific time.
Gao Yi and others thought that Shen Cheng would use force to entangle Jin Yan, but Shen Cheng had no intention of exposing his strength so quickly. He had a simpler way to keep Jin Yan by his side.
Hearing Shen Cheng's order, the three members of No. 1 looked at each other.
It's not that they refused to carry out Shen Cheng's orders, but they felt that the Duke might not come in person to meet Shen Cheng, a small character. Even if they really wanted to meet, it should be Shen Cheng who went to visit him, and the other party might not necessarily meet him.
For a moment, they didn't know whether they should carry out this request which was bound to bring humiliation upon themselves.
"Go ahead and invite them."
Shen Cheng was very confident: "If Jin Yan doesn't want to come, just tell him that I have some information about Jin Xing. He will definitely be interested."
Jin Xing’s information?
Number One and the other two were all shocked. Are we allowed to hear such important information?
The three of them didn't ask any more questions. Number One immediately stood up and said, "Please wait a moment. I will go and invite Duke Jin Yan."
He decided to carry out Shen Cheng's order in person. If he had been No. 2 or No. 3, he might not even have been able to see Jin Yan.
After No. 1 left, No. 2 and No. 3 sat upright but secretly communicated with their eye contact.
"Can you please come over here?"
"How is it possible? Yongle City has treated us as invisible people."
"What will happen then?"
"When the Special Envoy gets angry, just keep silent."
About ten minutes later, there was a gentle knock on the door of the box. No. 3 hurried over to open the door. The moment she opened the door, she was stunned.
The Duke with an indifferent look on his face was standing outside the box door, and Number One was following behind him respectfully.
Further back were the Duke's guards, each of them tall and strong with a ferocious look, blocking the entire corridor.
Even though No. 3 was a mature agent, he was stunned at this moment.
It was not until Number One gave her a series of looks that she suddenly realized that she had blocked the Duke outside the door, and she hurriedly took a step back to make way for him.
Jin Yan then walked into the box with a cold face, and his majestic and oppressive eyes fell on Shen Cheng.
Shen Cheng looked calm as he ordered the nervous No. 2 and No. 3, "You two go out first. Don't come in without my order."
"Yes."
Number Two and Number Three carefully walked around the Duke, walked out of the box quickly, and closed the door.
The two came to No. 1's side, and before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, their scalps began to tingle again.
The Duke's guards blocked the corridor and surrounded the three men. Their fierce eyes made the three men feel under great pressure and sweat profusely.
The atmosphere in the box was not very good. Jin Yan's face was cold, as if he was a mobile human air conditioner, causing the temperature of the entire box to drop significantly.
Shen Cheng was not affected at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Please take a seat, Your Excellency the Duke. This is your home ground. You don't need a guest like me to entertain you, do you?"
Jin Yan did not sit down. He just looked at Shen Cheng for a few times before saying in his unique cold and hard voice: "I'll give you a minute."
His tone was not one of negotiation but one of notification, and it had an air of unquestionable authority.
Shen Cheng didn't care about his attitude and said with a smile: "Before I set out, I got some very strange information."
Jin Yan didn't react at all, just silently calculating the time.
Shen Cheng was not in a hurry either, and even paused deliberately. In fact, he was also stalling for time.
"The content of this strange information is that something has happened to Lord Jin Xing. The Jin Xing who has appeared in public now is actually just an imposter."
When Shen Cheng finished saying this, exactly one minute had passed.
Jin Yan had planned to leave after Shen Cheng finished speaking, but after hearing his words, the idea of leaving immediately disappeared.
His eyes became extremely sharp in an instant, locking onto Shen Cheng tightly. The huge pressure spread throughout the box like a tsunami.
It was like a real pressure that was transmitted to the outside through the box.
The three members of Team No. 1, who were surrounded by the strong men outside, suddenly turned pale, and their hearts felt like being pinched by an invisible big hand.
These guards had long been accustomed to Jin Yan's oppressive feeling and behaved very normally.
Inside the box, Shen Cheng let his face turn pale and his breathing become rapid, pretending to be oppressed, but his eyes were still stubborn, staring at Jin Yan closely, not backing down at all.
Jin Yan observed Shen Cheng carefully and sensed extremely subtle energy fluctuations from him, which was only at the extraordinary level.
A mere extraordinary person actually holds the greatest secret of Yongle City.
Jin Yan's face was gloomy, and for a moment he had the urge to kill the person to silence him.
But this thought just popped up in my mind and then was dismissed.
Since even such a small character knows that something happened to Lord Jin Xing, then the people who know this secret are probably more than imagined, and there is no point in killing him.
In the unspeakable silence, Jin Yan finally sat down slowly: "Where did you get this information?"
His tone was unquestionable, just like a superior giving orders to his subordinates. Shen Cheng chuckled, "If you want to stop the spread of intelligence by curbing the source of intelligence, then you may be disappointed, because there are far more people who know about this than you think, and you can't kill everyone."
Jin Yan was somewhat impressed by Shen Cheng's performance. A little extraordinary person could actually remain calm under his oppression. This was something that many people could not do.
Yongle City’s previous disregard for the special envoy from Baiye Country was a misjudgment. A person’s ability is not entirely determined by strength.
Just then, loud cheers came from outside.
On the podium, a big shot who attracted everyone's attention finally appeared.
The Blood King Jin Xing.
Compared with Jin Yan, who is as majestic and solemn as a king, Jin Xing is more like a rich second-generation who is uneducated and unskilled.
He was very young, wearing casual clothes, sunglasses and a top hat.
The whole person looks cheerful and frivolous, without any aura of a big shot at all.
But no one dared to underestimate this Blood King. Being able to become one of the three kings of the Eternal Empire and compete with the other two Blood Kings, Jin Xing's strength and skills are completely worthy of the realm of legend.
Being cheerful and frivolous is just his personality, not his style of doing things.
The audience of the Grand Theater enthusiastically gave the king the highest and warmest applause.
A figure who stands at the top of the world came to give a speech to them in person. This kind of treatment and honor can be boasted about for a lifetime. No wonder the tickets for the carnival celebration were sold at a priceless price.
In the box, Jin Yan felt a little strange. How come Jin Xing came on stage one minute earlier than the scheduled time?
"Good morning, noon and evening, ladies and gentlemen."
Jin Xing took off his hat and opened his arms to welcome the cheers of the crowd: "I am your most beloved Master Jin Xing. I haven't seen you for three years. I miss you so much."
Shen Cheng looked down at Jin Xing who was playing tricks below, and said with a tut-tut sound: "Who could have imagined that this respected and beloved Lord Jin Xing was actually a fake? When the time comes, will people inside and outside Baiye City feel that they have been deceived and will be angry?"
Jin Yan ignored the provocation in Shen Cheng's words, turned his head to look at him, and asked coldly: "What is your purpose in revealing this secret to me now?"
Of course there is no purpose. Shen Cheng does this just to delay time.
If he hadn't used this thrilling topic, Jin Yan would never have come to see him.
Just as Shen Cheng was thinking about how to continue delaying time, a loud noise suddenly came from outside.
boom!
Suddenly, a violent explosion occurred in a corner of the theater.
A huge ball of fire suddenly appeared in everyone's sight, and hundreds of guests nearby were torn to pieces or blown away on the spot.
Everyone's attention was drawn to this sudden explosion, including Jin Xing who was standing on the podium, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
At this moment, in the audience seats closest to the stage, a figure suddenly jumped up and pounced on Jin Xing who was standing on the podium at an extremely fast speed.
No one reacted.
No, Jin Yan, who was sitting in the box, reacted and stood up suddenly.
But the assassin's speed was too fast, and the distance between him and Jin Xing was too close, he was about to hit him in a few tenths of a second.
Jin Xing was stunned and completely unable to react before the assassin stabbed him in the chest.
The enormous force knocked Jin Xing to the ground on his back, with the black weapon piercing his chest and nailing him to the stage.
"Oh!"
Shen Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly. He had already figured out that the black weapon used by the assassin was of the same type as the black weapon that the prophet had been assassinated with before. It was specifically used to deal with vampires.
He had known for a long time that Gao Yi had a backup plan and was planning to make a big news today, so it was not surprising that he chose to assassinate Jin Xing.
Jin Xing struggled a few times on the stage before he died. The murderer grabbed the black knife, pulled it out, raised it high, turned to face the audience below the stage, and said excitedly: "Did you see it? Jin Xing is a complete fake. The real Jin Xing has disappeared long ago."
The assassin was Gao Yi. As the leader of the murderers, he came personally to assassinate Jin Xing.
The guests below were stunned by this sudden assassination.
When Gao Yi killed the fake Jin Xing and announced that the real Jin Xing had disappeared long ago, the entire audience erupted in an uproar.
Jin Xing was killed in public, and now Yongle City could no longer hide the secret that Jin Xing was an impostor.
Unless Yongle City kills all the guests in the theater, they will not be able to reveal the news to the outside world.
But these more than one thousand guests are the most precious and loyal group of guests of Yongle City over the years, and they have great influence all over the world. If they are all killed, Yongle City will no longer have the need to operate in the future.
Shen Cheng originally thought that Jin Yan would tear Gao Yi into pieces in a rage, or take immediate measures to control the guests in the theater.
As a result, he just stood in the box, watching the fake Jin Xing being assassinated without doing anything, but his face became very ugly.
After taking a cold look at Gao Yi who was still talking nonsense below, Jin Yan ignored Shen Cheng and turned away.
However, after walking out of the box, he instructed the guards around him: "You stay here to protect the safety of the Special Envoy. No one is allowed to leave without my order."
"Yes!"
The guards all agreed, and then forced the three people from No. 1 who were guarding outside into the box.
Although this is protection in name, it is actually house arrest and they are not allowed to leave.
After being driven into the box, the three members of No. 1 looked at each other, feeling helpless about what to do about this sudden change.
Shen Cheng ignored them and just frowned slightly, wondering why Jin Yan had such a reaction?
He just left without doing anything and let the situation deteriorate.
It's not that we did nothing, at least we kept him under surveillance.
On the stage below, Gao Yi was so nervous that his heart was beating fast.
He had sneaked in long ago, but Jin Yan's box was very close to the stage, and it was almost impossible to assassinate him successfully under his nose.
But unexpectedly, the envoy from Baiye Kingdom actually did what he said. He actually asked Jin Yan to stay away from the stage and controlled him for several minutes, giving Gao Yi a chance to assassinate the fake Jin Xing.
When he was carrying out a mission, he had already prepared himself mentally for death. If Jin Xing was not an impostor, he might have been killed at the moment of the assassination.
Even if he succeeds in killing the impostor, Jin Yan will never let him go.
But when Gao Yi was standing on the stage waiting to die, he did not receive any attack from Jin Yan at all. Instead, the guards in the theater swarmed towards him.
How could that special envoy have been able to entangle Jin Yan until now?
I will remember your kindness, Mr. Special Envoy.
Gao Yi was overjoyed when he felt he still had a chance to escape, and immediately turned around and ran.
