Chapter 840

Just how big are their guts?

Don't they want to live anymore?

"What were you all muttering about just now?"

"I was too far away just now, couldn't hear clearly."

"If there's something, hurry up and tell us."

Wang Li walked back, looking at a group of military generals.

At this moment, the generals looked as if their parents had just died, faces twisted in an extremely constipated expression.

This instantly piqued Wang Li's interest.

"Um... Vice General Wang, why are you here?"

"You wouldn't happen to be the Inspector, would you?"

"That's right, Vice General Wang, you wouldn't happen to be the Inspector, would you?"

Vice General Zhao and the others kept their mouths shut about what they had just said.

They only hoped that Wang Li had been too far away and hadn't heard clearly.

But the person inside the sedan chair should have heard it, right?

Thinking of this, their heads swelled; clinging to fantasy, they wished Wang Li would tell them that he was indeed the Inspector.

If Wang Li was the Inspector, then they wouldn't be in any trouble at all.

"What kind of joke are you cracking? How could I possibly be the Inspector?"

"I'm merely His Highness's guard. The Inspector is His Highness."

Thud.

Thud.

The moment Wang Li finished speaking.

He saw Vice General Zhao and the others, unsure whether their legs had gone weak or they were simply scared.

They dropped straight to their knees.

Kneeling right there before the sedan chair.

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by dropping to your knees the moment we disagree on something?"

"His Highness isn't even inside the sedan chair."

Vice General Zhao and the others had just been about to open their mouths to beg for mercy when they heard Wang Li's words.

His Highness isn't in the sedan chair?

Doesn't that mean they've perfectly dodged a disaster?

"You're saying His Highness isn't in the sedan chair?"

"Then where did His Highness go?"

Vice General Qian looked at Wang Li with some disbelief.

Who knew whether this kid was trying to fool them.

"His Highness really isn't in the sedan chair. If you want to kneel in farewell, you'll have to wait until His Highness comes back."

"His Highness just went with me to relieve himself, and hasn't come back yet."

Wang Li looked at this group in confusion, guessing they must have been speaking ill of someone earlier.

Otherwise, why would they all drop to their knees like this?

Vice General Zhao and the others exchanged glances.

This was simply a pleasant surprise—His Highness actually wasn't in the sedan chair.

Which meant His Highness hadn't heard a single word of what they said earlier.

Upon learning this news, the generals all stood up one after another.

"Phew, I don't know what came over me just now, my legs just went weak all of a sudden."

"Now that you mention it, mine went weak too. Probably because I hadn't eaten enough."

"Mine went weak from hunger. I'll have to go eat later to make up for it."

"What a coincidence, we're all weak in the knees from hunger."

Vice General Zhao and the others nonchalantly brushed the dust off their knees.

Each finding themselves a perfect excuse.

Wang Li found this scene utterly speechless.

This group was way too shameless.

They were simply invincible.

He was willing to crown them as having the thickest skin.

"Next time, don't go badmouthing people behind their backs."

"Otherwise, someone among you might just be in for it."

Wang Li cast a glance at the crowd; judging by their behavior, he figured it couldn't have been anything good.

But since he hadn't heard it, he could only treat it as if nothing had happened.

It was all nothing more than harmless little matters.

"You kid better not talk too much."

"You kid dare to run your mouth, I'll beat you until even your mother won't recognize you."

"You kid didn't see a single thing."

"And we can also pretend we didn't see a single thing."

"Exactly, exactly, Wang Li, you should watch your mouth a bit."

Vice General Zhao and others stepped forward and grabbed Wang Li's shoulders.

Their relentless pestering was endless.

They looked ready to fight at the slightest disagreement.

"I saw nothing."

Wang Li hurriedly waved his hands; these guys were truly fierce.

They almost stripped his clothes off.

Seeing Wang Li say this, Vice General Zhao and the others finally let go of him.

They all flashed a look of mutual understanding.

But to Wang Li, the threat seemed far more prominent.

But with Vice General Zhao and the others being so numerous and powerful, what could he do?

He could only smile and yield.

He didn't care; as long as the Crown Prince hadn't heard, they could do whatever they wanted.

At this moment, everyone fell silent.

Their gazes all turned together toward one direction, where a figure of elegant grace appeared in their sight.

This figure was none other than Ying Zi Ye.

As soon as Ying Zi Ye walked up to the crowd, he sensed that their expressions were somewhat off.

Before he could speak, this group shouted loudly.

"Greetings, Crown Prince!"

"Greetings, Crown Prince!"

The shouts rose and fell in waves.

"Rise, no need for excessive ceremony."

Ying Zi Ye waved his hand to signal.

Then he looked at Vice General Zhao with confusion.

"Is something the matter?"

"Your expressions seem a bit off."

Vice General Zhao was almost scared into jumping up by this remark.

"Is... is there?"

"Nothing seems off at all."

"Your Highness must have seen things wrong."
