Everyone was startled by this sudden development.

Ji Xiuyun, who had just followed the direction the soldier was pointing at, saw the two people and one cat beside the bright red vehicle. He paused in his footsteps, then quickly walked up and stuffed his cat into his arms. He raised his head and looked at Marshal Kevin.

Just as he was about to say something, the ground under his feet shook again.

This time, they could clearly hear the muffled explosion coming from underground.

Marshal Kevin said without hesitation, "You go down. I'll send His Majesty back."

"Yue An, come with me." Ji Xiuyun looked down at the cat in his arms.

Yue An raised its head and licked its little nose. It meowed softly.

Marshal Kevin saw this and didn't plan to take them out in front of the media. Instead, he carried the crying little Emperor and got into the bright red car that Yue An drove.

It was impossible for him to take the little Emperor for a stroll under the noses of the media who had caught wind of the news. Otherwise, who knew what the news would be tomorrow? At this time, he had his own car, so of course, he would drive it away directly.

Yue An looked at Marshal Kevin's actions and was stunned. The next second, it raised its paws and frantically slapped Ji Xiuyun's chest. It pointed at the shopping bags in the car and meowed anxiously.

Ji Xiuyun looked at the shopping bags and looked up at Marshal Kevin.

Marshal Kevin looked at Yue An and then looked at the shopping bags. He immediately understood and nodded.

The two of them had a tacit understanding. One of them left with the cat while the other left with the little Emperor in the car.

There was a reason for this arrangement.

They didn't know what was going on down there. For safety reasons, Ji Xiuyun, who was stronger in terms of physical fitness, gene level, and combat power, would go and check out the situation.

If he brought Yue An, whose physical fitness was not inferior to Ji Xiuyun's, with him, the man and the cat could take care of each other.

The most important thing was that the little Emperor would be very obedient in front of Marshal Kevin and wouldn't dare to say anything.

The specific reason probably went back to when he had just ascended the throne. Marshal Kevin had always scolded him with a stern face.

This was probably one of the reasons why he was more willing to trust Ji Xiuyun, who couldn't control him.

"Technical class?" Ji Xiuyun walked to the nearest entrance of the black market and turned to ask the soldiers guarding the entrance.

A small white head in his bosom pricked up its ears vigilantly. Two snow-white little claws were placed on the collar of Ji Xiuyun's black military jacket. It was currently raising its head and sniffing around the air that was filled with the smell of smoke and dust.

The soldiers who stayed behind were all under Marshal Kevin's command.... Although they were a little uncomfortable with Ji's command, they still obediently followed the order...................

.. Marshal Ji...

.............................. to...... of the explosion.......

........

"No!

Marshal Kevin! "

Ji Xiuyun nodded and kicked open the tightly shut elevator door.

Thick smoke billowed out from inside. The door was empty. It was obvious that the elevator below had been destroyed.

Yue An, who was focused on sniffing the unusual smell, sneezed from the smoke. Its little head shook and sneezed again.

The technical class soldier beside him quickly handed him an oxygen patch and a location communicator. Ji Xiuyun lowered his head and looked at Yue An, who was wriggling in his arms. He waved the oxygen patch in his hand.

"Meow!" Yue An moved back and slapped Ji Xiuyun's hand away with disdain.

Marshal Ji, who was disdained, gave up the idea of putting an oxygen patch on his cat. He put one on himself and walked to the smoking exit. "Let's go down."

Yue An meowed and clung onto Ji Xiuyun's jacket.

Under the gaze of many soldiers, Marshal Ji didn't hesitate and directly jumped into the thick smoke.

Not long after, the soldiers above heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. They also heard the sound of something being violently destroyed.

Even though they had heard many rumors about Ji Xiuyun's body being so strong that it didn't seem like a human's, it was still more shocking than seeing it with their own eyes.

Other than the sound of the equipment, the soldiers above who saw Ji Xiuyun jump from a height of 100 meters were all silent.

A colonel was the first to react. He looked around at his shocked colleagues and said loudly, "What are you waiting for?

Hurry up and get to work. Are you going to let Marshal Ji do everything by himself?

Don't you think it's embarrassing? "

His words woke everyone up. The soldiers, who were originally silent and shocked, quickly got to work.

Hot smoke and dust kept rolling out. The other exits were also violently broken open. The media and onlookers outside the central business district all saw thick smoke billowing up.

The First Army Commander, who was surrounded by the media, thought for a while and guessed that something must have happened in the black market.

He closed his mouth tightly. No matter how the media excitedly asked him questions, he put on a very easy-going look. However, he didn't open his mouth.

Ji Xiuyun walked in the black market with his cat. The sudden explosion caused this hidden underground market to fall into chaos.

Oxygen patches were very common daily necessities. Nowadays, very few people would die of suffocation in a fire.

Therefore, in the thick smoke, people who were doing business in the black market tried to take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters. The medium-sized and large shops that they had never dared to touch in the past were all looted at this time.

However, when this group of people rushed to leave with their trophies, they were horrified to find that all the exits and exits had been blown up.

In order to prevent the existence of the black market from being seen through by scientific instruments, the entire market was wrapped in rare materials that could block all kinds of signals. Except for the elevators, there was no other way to leave in an emergency.

At this time, these people were completely surrounded. None of them could escape.

After several exits of the black market were blown up, the complete shielded network was torn open. It was enough for the technical class to barely see the full picture.

"The first explosion point is in the east, two streets away from you. Turn right, and 100 meters later, it's the third shop on the left."

Ji Xiuyun followed the instructions in the communicator and walked to the destination.

Unfortunately, the shop had been blown beyond recognition. The entire street was affected. Basically, the center of the explosion had been blown into pieces.

All the evidence that could be used to explain the explosion at this point was blown to ashes.

The timing of the explosion was too coincidental. It happened when the military surrounded the central business district. Less than five minutes had passed, and the explosion occurred. The timing was too subtle.

In addition, there might have been an attack on the Empire's Emperor. It was even more subtle that people couldn't help but think about it.

Ji Xiuyun lowered his eyes and carefully tried to recall which shop was here originally.

Yue An, who was in his arms, was not stained by a single speck of dust. She was so fair that she was clinging to his collar. Her little head was looking around, and her ears were pricked up vigilantly. Every now and then, she would turn twice.

The surrounding environment was too noisy. Yue An listened carefully to the surrounding sounds and felt that something was not right.

Just in case, a few white lights appeared on the tip of his claws. Then, he propped up an invisible barrier, enveloping him and Ji Xiuyun, one man and one cat.

Ji Xiuyun had already remembered who this shop belonged to.

— Prince Kells.

He always stood by the side of the little Emperor and almost completely controlled the Emperor's power in his hands.

"Marshal Ji?"

The voice of a soldier came from the communication device. "We are ready to go down. What's the situation?"

Ji Xiuyun glanced at the surrounding situation and replied, "Bring your weapons. There are many people down there."

As soon as his voice fell, a very soft "click" came from the ruins at his feet.

Ji Xiuyun's heart tightened. He turned around and rushed out. He turned around and protected the soft furball in his arms.

The sudden roar of the explosion once again resounded throughout the entire underground black market.

Not only that, but because they were extremely close to the explosion, along with the sound transmitted by the positioning communicator, the few technical squad soldiers who were in contact with Ji Xiuyun all showed clear symptoms of tinnitus and dizziness.

Ji Xiuyun, who was in the center of the explosion, shook his head and climbed up from the deep pit caused by the second explosion. His first reaction was to take the cat out of his arms.

Yue An was shocked by the loud sound.

He had never experienced such an exciting activity in reality — the virtual training room didn't count.

The white furball stared at Ji Xiuyun with its round eyes. There was no pain in those blue eyes except for shock.

Marshal Ji was still worried. He turned Yue An over and over again until Yue An regained his senses from the explosion. He pressed his claw on Marshal Ji's right hand that was messing around.

"Meow!"

This meow was full of energy. There was nothing unusual about it.

Only then did Marshal Ji heave a sigh of relief. He carefully placed Yue An aside and turned around to check his own body. He found that even his clothes were not damaged.

He turned to Yue An, who was looking around, and asked, "Did you do this?"

Yue An knew that he was referring to the barrier that protected them. It immediately puffed out its small chest proudly. "Meow!"

Marshal Ji patted Yue An's head. "This is the second time."

He was saved by Yue An again.

Ji Xiuyun felt that this time, he had to help Yue An ask the government for a high-yield energy crystal mine.

The soldiers from above came down very quickly. Large batches of soldiers poured in from all the entrances and exits. The technical team brought equipment to clear mines and defuse bombs. Soon, all the people who could still jump around in the black market were arrested.

There were so many media outlets outside. They had to give the public an explanation for this operation.

Now, these people who were lucky enough to survive until the end became the public's explanation.

Ji Xiuyun returned to the surface. He watched as the soldiers dragged these people up batch by batch. He walked around in front of the media before escorting them away.

"Meow!" Yue An's small paws rested on Ji Xiuyun's chest. It stretched out its head and rubbed Ji Xiuyun's chin.

Ji Xiuyun retracted his gaze and gently rubbed Furry An in his arms.

Marshal Ji coldly abandoned his First Army Commander in front of the media. He got into the car and took out his optical computer. He sent a message to Marshal Kevin.

Marshal Kevin didn't take the Emperor back to the palace. Instead, he took the Emperor and his secretary back to the military headquarters.

He couldn't trust any of the people in the palace.

Ji Xiuyun glanced at Marshal Kevin and asked, "Who agreed to let the Emperor go to the black market?"

The secretary wanted to say something but stopped.

The Emperor didn't have any scruples. He sniffed and said bluntly, "It was Uncle Kells."

When Ji Xiuyun heard this answer, he instantly understood.

He asked again, "Who was the one who decided to make a move on Marshal Kevin?"

"I didn't agree!" The Emperor glared and straightened his neck. He reiterated, "I didn't agree!"

It was true that the Emperor didn't have much of an opinion when it came to politics. He was naturally biased against Marshal Kevin.

However, when it came to major issues, he knew what was good for him.

Marshal Kevin wasn't as famous as Ji Xiuyun in recent years. However, he was still an outstanding general who had supported an era with the previous Emperor. He was a hero who had protected the Empire for hundreds of years.

Usually, the military and the government would play dirty tricks on each other. This was a normal power struggle.

However, to send a hero to the grave because of this kind of power struggle was definitely not right.

"I didn't agree," the Emperor said again.

The little Emperor said again. His entire person seemed dispirited and depressed, completely aware of his own powerlessness and incompetence. "But they still made this decision."

Fortunately, this decision didn't have time to be implemented. The person who made this decision was caught off guard by the 500 energy crystals and stuffed this idea back into his stomach.

After that, because of Ji Xiuyun's series of big moves, the Emperor was worried that he would be misunderstood. He couldn't wait to throw the secretary in front of Ji Xiuyun. He wanted to ask him for a clear attitude.

Ji Xiuyun was silent for a moment. He didn't feel that this matter was very surprising.

He was very clear about how indecisive the little Emperor was.

Ji Xiuyun just continued to ask, "Your Majesty, the mastermind of Marshal Kevin's matter was Prince Kells?"

The Emperor nodded.

Ji Xiuyun's gaze finally fell on the secretary next to the Emperor.

The secretary was stared at by him for half a minute. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore. He confessed with a stiff face, "I wasn't allowed to inform you. It was also Prince Kells' intention. I went to inform you privately."

Ji Xiuyun nodded slightly and unexpectedly praised him, "Well done."

Marshal Kevin frowned, "What did you think of?"

Ji Xiuyun paused, "His Majesty was disobedient, so some people couldn't sit still."

The puppet Emperor, who had always been obedient, suddenly had his own ideas and began to go against them. Those who held power naturally wouldn't be happy.

They wanted to scare the Emperor, help a new Emperor, or ascend the throne themselves. In short, they wanted an obedient person who had the same interests as them to stand in the position that symbolized the highest power.

If the Emperor was disobedient, then they would scare him until he was obedient.

Or, he could simply kill them without anyone knowing.

Unfortunately, no matter what their plan was, an accident had already happened.

Looking at the situation, the Emperor probably found a way to escape and coincidentally met the Yue An. The secretary couldn't withstand the torture of conscience in his heart and told Ji Xiuyun about the matter.

The series of coincidental explosions in the black market was also clearly intended to kill and destroy the evidence without leaving a single trace.

This was to prevent the military from finding out anything and causing them to be directly sued by the Empire's Supreme Court.

Marshal Kevin obviously also realized this. He asked bluntly, "Have you collected any evidence?"

Ji Xiuyun shook his head, "No, it's all blown up."

The Emperor looked at Marshal Kevin and then looked at Ji Xiuyun in the communication channel. He seemed to understand something. The confusion in his eyes gradually dissipated.

He didn't know where the courage came from. He stood up with a "whoosh" and walked to Marshal Kevin's side. He looked up at the hero who was gradually walking into old age.

"I was wrong before. I'm sorry."

He pursed his lips tightly, clenched his hands into fists, and bowed deeply to Marshal Kevin.

When he spoke again, his voice was still trembling, but he didn't let the tears fall.

He said in a trembling voice, "Can … can you help me?"

Marshal Kevin was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect this kid to have such behavior and awareness. He was stunned and said, "Ah."

"Help me." The Emperor hurriedly wiped away his tears, "I don't want to go on like this!

I, I want to be as good as my father! "

Marshal Kevin looked at the Emperor and then looked at Ji Xiuyun.

His student nodded slightly on the other side of the communication channel. Marshal Kevin immediately relaxed.

"Okay." He nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, I have a request."

Ji Xiuyun touched the Yue An in his arms and looked at the Emperor with shining eyes. "Can you give me another energy mine planet?"
