Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Is that what you mean?"

Lin Yi's few words made everyone react. It turned out that this was all a trap set by Emperor Zhou.

This was clearly a moral kidnapping.

Cultivators fight against the heavens and the earth. There are very few selfless people. It is conceivable what choice they will make in the face of this situation.

If it were any other big boss, as long as he was not stupid, he would never agree to Emperor Zhou's request at this time.

Emperor Zhou's eyes flashed.

He knew that Lin Yi was not so easy to fool. If he could be fooled by a few words, Lin Yi would have been fooled by him long ago. How could he become a big worry today?

But Lin Yi saw through his intentions so quickly, which still caught him off guard.

However, Emperor Zhou was not panicked at all.

This was an open conspiracy.

It was not important whether Lin Yi could see through it or not. What was important was that the people of the inner royal court stood on the side of Emperor Zhou!

Under the attention of the whole audience, Emperor Zhou said sincerely: "I also know about this matter. It is indeed a bit difficult for you, but Lin Yi, you really don't need to deliberately belittle yourself."

"With your current strength and influence, you can even destroy the Qi Wang Mansion in one battle."

"If you insist that you can't bear the cause and effect, this is a bit self-deception."

Lin Yi looked strange.

However, the rest of the people present, especially the people of the Inner King Court who were watching this scene outside, nodded one after another.

In their simple cognition, since Lin Yi was able to destroy the Qi Wang Mansion in one battle, he was the most powerful person in the Inner King Court, no one else.

If even the most powerful person can't bear this cause and effect, who else can bear it?

As long as Lin Yi denied it, he was deliberately shirking responsibility.

Emperor Zhou continued to say earnestly: "With great power comes great responsibility."

"I know that with your strength, Lin Yi, you can indeed choose to sit on the other side and watch the fire, and keep yourself safe."

"But in that case, it's okay for me to suffer, but if the vast majority of the people in the inner court suffer with me, then I will never be forgiven."

With just a few words, the image of an emperor who cares about the people of the world is clearly established.

Especially combined with his image of being possessed by a demon at this moment, in the eyes of the people in the inner court, the sympathy points are immediately full.

Many people directly stand on his side, and in this way, they naturally stand on the opposite side of Lin Yi.

Feeling the surge of public opinion, Emperor Zhou smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was still sincere.

"For you, Lin Yi, this is just a matter of moving your fingers. As long as you have a thought, you can save the people of the world from danger."

"But for the vast majority of people in my inner court, this is the difference between life and death."

"Think about it carefully. If the inner court falls apart and people suffer, even if you are high and mighty, what can you do?"

"On the contrary, if you help, countless people in the inner court will be grateful to you, and from now on you will be the savior of the entire inner court. What kind of scene will that be?"

"I am not good at speaking, and I can only say this much. What to do and what will happen to the inner court depends on your choice."

After saying that, he knocked his head to the ground again.

The whole audience was silent.

Not to mention the ordinary people who did not know the truth, even the civil and military officials present at the court, those of a lower level, were fooled by him.

The big guys looked at each other in surprise.

It seems that Emperor Zhou has been busy these years and has practiced his acting skills.

Otherwise, even if you are deliberate, it is not easy to speak so eloquently in public.

At this moment, a thick cumulus cloud has condensed above the emperor's palace. Not only that, there are still more and thicker clouds coming rapidly from all directions.

These are the substantive public opinions.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the real public opinion.

The bigwigs of all parties showed their expressions of watching the show.

Even the bystanders like them felt a lot of pressure from such public opinions, not to mention Lin Yi, the person involved in the game.

"Hijacking public opinion, the emperor's means are despicable enough, but don't say it, it really works."

Qin Siren smiled and shook his head.

Lin Yi is too popular now, even his Qin Wangfu has been suppressed. Although they don't like Zhou Tianzi's means, they are still happy to see Lin Yi suffer.

Now Lin Yi needs someone to suppress him.

Otherwise, if he continues to be allowed to surge, the situation will be completely out of control.

The King of Qin said: "The Emperor Zhou has set a bad example, and he should not be kept in the future."

Everyone in the King of Qin's mansion was shocked.

Before this, although they had never taken the Emperor Zhou seriously, they had never thought of taking him down.

After all, the puppet emperor also has its uses.

However, with the words of the King of Qin, even if the Emperor Zhou succeeded today, he would surely die next time.

No one can stop him.

The Emperor Zhou himself was unaware of this, and he was even secretly proud of the surging public opinion he had mobilized above his head.

He had already won.

The reason why the conspiracy is an open conspiracy is that there is no solution.

No matter what Lin Yi chooses next, it will be wrong. Either he will completely stand on the opposite side of the public opinion of the entire Inner King Court and become the enemy of the entire Inner King Court, or he will accept the cause and effect and become a stepping stone for him to whitewash himself.

What he was really proud of was that this time, not only did he succeed in trapping Lin Yi, but he also borrowed the power of the big man behind the queen.

Invisibly, he was equivalent to pulling that big man onto his warship.

In fact, without the tacit approval of that big man and the behind-the-scenes instigation, the power of Emperor Zhou alone would not have created such a huge momentum.

Rather than saying that he was trapping Lin Yi, it was better to say that the big man behind the queen was using him to trap Lin Yi.

That was why he was so fearless.

Emperor Zhou was extremely sure that Lin Yi would definitely choose to surrender this time, because no one could resist this overwhelming public opinion.

No one could!

Above the clouds, a pair of deep eyes stared at every reaction of Lin Yi.

If Lin Yi saw it, he would definitely recognize that this was the eyes of the quasi-god Yi Liuchao.

"Now it depends on whether you have the courage to open the door to the new era with your own hands."

Yi Liuchao murmured playfully above the clouds.

At this moment, the cloud representing public opinion was getting thicker and thicker, like a huge mountain pressing down, pressing right on Lin Yi's head.

Public opinion is like a mountain!

Even the civil and military officials who were just bystanders were oppressed to the point of being breathless at this moment, with anxious faces and chests ready to explode at any time, not to mention Lin Yi who was the first to bear the brunt.
