Chapter 429 A Land of Talents, Great Liang Country

"If you talk any more nonsense, believe it or not, I'll kill you right now?!"

Li Fei had no patience for these ordinary weaklings!

"He's going to kill us?"

"So he really is an assassin!"

The two exchanged glances.

Their expressions began to shift slightly...

The wise eyes and twisted features were back!

Then, the two, one on each side, grabbed Li Fei's arms.

"Great, another assassin has arrived!"

"Finally, we can have a feast again, hehehe!"

Li Fei sensed something was amiss!

Why did these two look like they had a screw loose?!

Had he been wasting his breath with two lunatics just now?

These two absolutely couldn't be kept, or it would damage his image!

But before that, he needed to clarify one thing!

They had mentioned "another assassin" earlier, which should refer to that useless Gao Ming!

"Did someone wearing the same clothes as me come by just now?" Li Fei asked, pointing to the embroidered insignia on his chest, "Where is he now?"

"Oh, he went to see His Majesty."

"The feast is about to begin, let's hurry, we're just waiting for you!"

As they spoke, the two impatiently pulled Li Fei further inside.

Although Li Fei found it a bit strange, he decided to wait and see.

As it turned out, this palace was indeed problematic.

He shouldn't act rashly until he fully understood the situation!

Before long, two teams of guards patrolled from opposite directions.

One team walked hand in hand, skipping and singing.

"Two little bees, flying into the flower bushes..."

The other team moved in groups of three.

The person at the bottom lay on the ground with their hands flat, while the person behind them lifted their legs and pushed them forward.

The remaining person sat on the back of the one being pushed, occasionally shaking a rattle.

"Dong dong dong..."

...

Familiar recipe, familiar taste.

The scene was incredibly bizarre!

It made Li Fei feel a little uncomfortable...

"Halt, who goes there?!"

The Grand Commander's intelligent gaze swept over the three, exuding a mighty aura!

Only an elite of elites like him could exert such pressure!

"Reporting to Commander, we've encountered another assassin!"

"That's right, he's here to assassinate His Majesty too!"

"Hehehe!"

"Hehehehe!"

...

Upon hearing this, the Grand Commander's expression changed!

If De An and Chun Hong were like two simpletons, then he was their great-uncle!

His dazed eyes held a hint of wisdom, and his wisdom revealed a touch of sharpness!

"Wonderful, another feast to attend!" the Grand Commander said happily, "Remember to save a seat for me at your table later!"

This point alone highlighted the difference between Li Fei and Gao Ming.

Despite the incredibly bizarre scene, he had consistently chosen to wait and see.

Clearly, a man destined for great things!

Thus, Li Fei quietly followed the Grand Commander and the others away.

Along the way, they encountered other guards, palace maids, and eunuchs, but the Grand Commander waved them all away with a look.

What are you looking at?

You won't get any of the feast!

It's all mine!

...

Not long after.

The Grand Commander led Li Fei to the entrance of the main hall.

Emperor Liang Dekuai was currently discussing state affairs with his ministers. The Grand Commander stealthily led Li Fei to a corner of the great hall.

"His Majesty is busy now, please wait," the Grand Commander whispered, "You can act after His Majesty finishes."

He then gently patted Li Fei's shoulder with an expression that said, 'I've got high hopes for you.'

Li Fei ignored the Grand Commander, his gaze fixed on everything happening inside the hall.

In the Liang Dynasty, court sessions were held while seated, and ministers had their own designated chairs.

However, none of these ministers were sitting properly...

Wobbly was still considered decent.

Some had turned their chairs around and squatted on them, hugging the backrest...

Some knelt on the ground, with their upper bodies hunched over, their heads poking through the holes in the chair backs...

The minister next to him had the same posture, and the two would occasionally exchange glances and flash enigmatic smiles...

Others squatted on the ground, holding chairs above their heads with their hands.

A minister with the same posture as them squatted on top of the chair, also squatting there.

One after another.

They had formed a human pyramid of five or six layers!

Yet, these were still considered relatively normal!

A minister, wearing official robes, was hugging a pillar in the great hall!

It was over twenty feet high!

Looking beneath the hem of his robes, it seemed he was only wearing boxer shorts underneath.

This minister held the pillar tightly, his head repeatedly banging against it.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

"Re-re-re-report, port, port, to, to, to, His, His, His, Majesty, ty, ty..."

The frequency was extremely rapid, like a woodpecker!

His voice even trembled!

He had even started chipping away at the pillar!

Looking up.

A minister hung upside down from a roof beam, his legs together.

He kept his eyes closed, motionless, appearing to be asleep.

"It's a bit dark in here, add some oil to the lamp above!"

A minister suddenly shouted to the upside-down official.

"Idiot, I'm a bat!" the upside-down minister cursed, pointing to the beam next to him, "That's the lamp over there!"

"Alright, I'll add it right away!"

Upon hearing this, the minister hanging upside down from the adjacent beam immediately took off his hat.

He vigorously rubbed his hair with his hands.

As he rubbed, he asked,

"How is it, is it brighter now?"

The minister who had previously complained about the darkness stared for a moment, then nodded seriously, "Yes, much better!"

At this moment.

Li Fei felt completely overwhelmed...

Was this really the imperial palace?

Had he entered the wrong place?

As he was lost in thought, he suddenly felt something brush against his leg.

Li Fei instinctively turned to look, and then he saw...

An elderly minister, crouching in an extremely bizarre posture.

His legs were spread wide, his upper body almost touching the ground!

This posture severely defied the laws of human anatomy!

His arms were bent and held flat beside his neck, and his fingers kept opening and closing.

In short, it was as weird as it could get!

"What are you looking at? Never seen a crab before?" Seeing Li Fei staring at him, the old minister scornfully curled his lips, "Pah, a bumpkin!"

After his disdainful remark, the old minister moved away, opening and closing his hands.

However, he didn't walk in a straight line but moved sideways repeatedly...

Before Li Fei could recover, another figure appeared in his sight.

This minister looked to be in his thirties, but his head was completely bald, with neither hat nor hair.

His gleaming bald head was incredibly conspicuous!

And his body was wrapped in a white bedsheet.

He moved along the ground, wriggling and inching forward...

As he wriggled, he hummed happily.

"I'm a happy little grub, so high!"
