In order to secure his rule, he not only needs people in the court to be his confidants and loyal to him. In the rivers and lakes, he also needs to have his own henchmen. Li Yunhai and Sun Changfeng have the ability. But these two are insidious and cunning, and although they are loyal on the surface, they may not be on their side if something happens. Therefore, at the moment, Lin Xiao is the best candidate.

The most important thing is that he can see that Long Yuyan is very affectionate to Lin Xiao.

Sooner or later, he will choose a good family affair for Long Yuyan. His sister deserves to marry the best man in the world. Lin Xiao is the person he values right now, and Long Yuyan is interested in him again. If Long Yuyan marries Lin Xiao, it will not only fulfill her, but also be regarded as doing her best, and she can also let Lin Xiao stay by her side and do her best for herself. It's a good thing to have the best of both worlds. He thought to himself that he should pay more attention to Lin Xiao and let him have more power, so that he can use it for himself and do things for himself in the future. Naturally, the person who marries the lord of the dynasty cannot be a nameless junior, but must be a figure with a head and a face.

He pondered for a while, and then said to Lin Xiao, "Lin Xiao, I have something to say to you. Lin Xiao took the order. ”

Lin Xiao immediately knelt down and replied respectfully: "Yes, Holy Lord, Weichen will accept the order." ”

"You were framed by Li Yunhai and suffered a lot of grievances. But you can deal with them one by one calmly and clear your grievances, which proves that you are indeed a capable person. And those two are insidious and cunning, although they have the ability, they don't need to be on the right path, and they are really overwhelmed. And you have indeed suffered a lot of grievances because of this. Besides, you've been to the valley before, so you must have added a lot of ability. Now, I have decided that you will take over all the affairs that Li Yunhai was in charge of in the imperial court. In the rivers and lakes, the power I have given him will also be taken over by you. The affairs of Li Yunhai's sect, you and Li Jian will discuss it together. You have to work hard, do things for me, exercise your power well, and remember not to do stupid things like Li Yunhai and the others. Don't let down my good intentions, don't live up to my trust in you. ”

Although Long Yuyan didn't know the emperor's intentions, the emperor handed over the power to Lin Xiao because she valued him, so she was a little happy.

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment and did not respond. Long Yuyan whispered to him: "Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao." ”

Lin Xiao immediately came back to his senses.

The emperor suddenly handed over this important task to him, although Lin Xiao was a little confused, but since the emperor had already spoken, he couldn't refuse. If you offend the emperor again and put him in prison, it will really outweigh the losses. So, he immediately leaned down and said: "Thank you, the emperor, the minister will thank the holy grace, and the minister will definitely live up to the emperor's trust." ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Get up." ”

"Your Majesty."

The two monarchs and ministers exchanged a few more words, and the emperor took Long Yuyan back to the palace. After Lin Xiao respectfully sent the two of them, he immediately took Yao Qi back to his mansion.

Mo Tong and Bi Fang were already waiting for them at the door, and when they saw them, they hurriedly stepped forward and said, "How is it?" Has the emperor reproached you? ”

"Don't worry, nothing happened, didn't we come back in good time. Advance to the house, I'll tell you everything one by one. ”

When the group returned home, Lin Xiao told them in detail, and at the same time said that Li Yunhai's former power was taken over by him. Although the two of them were a little confused, they were also happy for Lin Xiao, but they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd.

Lin Xiao analyzed that the emperor suddenly handed over power to him, presumably because Li Yunhai had now lost the emperor's trust. And at the moment, the emperor can only use him, so he handed over the power in Li Yunhai's hands to him. No matter what, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it.

This matter passed for the time being, and the group went to rest after dinner.

Soon, the news that Lin Xiao took over Li Yunhai's power soon spread, and some people began to find ways to have a good relationship with Lin Xiao in order to get some protection from him. People who had a good relationship with Lin Xiao also came to congratulate them. On this day, Li Jian and Zhang Meng came to the door.

As soon as they entered the hall, the two of them said heartily and loudly: "Brother Lin, congratulations so much." If you don't die in a catastrophe, there will be a blessing in the future, not only broke Li Yunhai's conspiracy, but also took over his power, it is estimated that he is repenting in prison at this time. He is so insidious and cunning, and he deserves his current fate. He thinks he is smarter than anyone else, but he doesn't know that being smart is mistaken by being smart. ”

The two brothers laughed. Li Yunhai has today, and he deserves the end. However, the two brothers helped a lot in smashing his conspiracy and rescuing me from prison, and Lin Xiao was grateful. In the future, if anything happens to you, I will definitely go to the soup and go to the fire. ”

The two laughed and said, "We are brothers, and this is how it should be." But if you are prosperous in the future, don't disown our brother. ”

"Laughing, I'll prepare a table of wine and food, let's talk while drinking, and rest when we get drunk."

At the wine table, the two were still congratulating Lin Xiao on his power, but Lin Xiao only smiled bitterly. "Others only see the scenery in front of me, but they don't know the pain behind my back. Now I have a lot of power, but I also have a lot of things. The Gu test is imminent, and there is no room for sloppiness at all, and there are so many things that I need to deal with at the moment. Even with Bi Fang Motong to help me, sometimes I can't keep myself busy, but thanks to them. I really feel that I have more than enough heart and not enough power, so I just want to split me in half alone. ”

The two laughed when they heard this, and Li Jian continued: "Brother Lin, if you need my two help with anything, just say it." Although I am now in charge of the sect, I also have free time. If there's something you can do, just ask. Zhang Meng also responded beside him: "Yes, just speak." ”

"Then thank you two brothers first, don't say anything, let's drink!"

"!"

Before I knew it, half a month had passed.

There are a lot of things, Lin Xiao can be said to be very busy these days, and sometimes he only takes a break once every few days. Such efforts will naturally pay off, and after a while, the valley test should be held smoothly.....

"Whew, it's really hard work that pays off."

At this time, Lin Xiao remembered the previous half a month of busyness, felt that his eyes were a little heavy, and there was a kind of tiredness in his eyes. It's just that as long as he thinks that the Gu test can be held smoothly, he feels that it is all worth it.

What's more, now, basically everything has been handled by Lin Xiao alone, and the so-called everything is ready and only Dongfeng is owed.

But on the day of the start of the valley test, there was bad news again.

"My lord, something is wrong. One by one, those who took the valley test disappeared, and their whereabouts are unknown, and no one could avoid it. ”

"What?"

Hearing the report of his subordinates made Lin Xiao's face pale.

Only then did the front foot solve the difficulty here, and the back foot began to stab the knife in the back, which made Lin Xiao feel very uncomfortable and in a very bad mood.

There should have been no problems with the valley test, but now it has become like this.

"My lord, now that the city is in an uproar, do you want to report this matter to the emperor?"

"Okay, I see, you can step back first."

Lin Xiao still had no way to breathe a sigh of relief, and another piece of bad news came out.

According to his subordinates, those who took part in the valley test were killed one after another, and it seems that someone attacked them, and their whereabouts are now unknown. This incident spread so much that the whole city was panicked. Thinking of this, Lin Xiao had no way to continue to calm down, he had to start looking for the reason.

Who exactly attacked those who took the valley test?

This question can be said to be very essential, but Lin Xiao continued to think about it carefully, and in the end, he still didn't realize who did this matter, even a few people who had enemies with him before would not take this risk to attack those people.

After all, this is an order from the emperor.

Report to the emperor, if you can't find the reason, you must report to the emperor, but not now. Lin Xiao has been busy these days, but this kind of thing happened at a critical time, which made him unwilling.

Now the situation has suddenly become very serious.

This is not a joke, now the enemy is dark and I am clear, which is very disadvantageous for Lin Xiao.

It would have been even worse if someone had stabbed him in the back at this time. But fortunately, such a thing was not discovered, which also made this matter come to an abrupt end here.

All of a sudden, silence returned.

However, at this time, Lin Xiao could be said to be sleepy.

"Go and find out who did it!"

Now at this time, the valley test is about to start, but although some difficulties have been solved, the people who participated in the valley test have been attacked. If no one comes, then there is no point in this valley test.

It's just that now is not the time to look for those who have been attacked for the valley test......

Now the fate of those people is unknown, and even if they are found, they are just cold faces or even corpses. If you can't determine who the enemy is, it will be very troublesome if you are negligent in the future.

I don't know if I can find out who the enemy is, but at least I can make a look.

In this way, it is easy to report to the emperor.

So Lin Xiao sent someone to look for three days and three nights, but nothing was found.

These so-called enemies seem to have evaporated from the world, and they haven't even found a trace of it, and even the traces of the fight on the spot are extremely strange.

"Adult ......"

According to these returning men.

They did find the bodies of a few people, but these people were already dead, so it can be said that they were cold, so the clues were lost when they arrived at this place.
