Chapter 22: The Lin family defects
"Father is slow, it is true that taking down the Lin family is the first thing at present, but the Lin family still has a Lin Batian fighting against the Huanyu Empire. Now it seems that Lin Batian must be acting with the Huanyu Empire, otherwise, judging from the Lin family's historical style, it will definitely not take so long to repel the Huanyu Empire. Seeing the emperor's order, the crown prince seized the opportunity to continue.
"Well, the emperor is reasonable, who in the court can replace Lin Batian's position?"
"Father, the son recommended a person to take on this important responsibility, his name is Huan Yuchen, he is a general under the command of the son, and his ability is very good. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the opportunity to recommend his confidants.
"Okay, since that's the case, I'll send Huanyu Chen to the south with my will, take back Lin Batian's military power and take over him to fight against the Huanyu Empire, and be sure to send the Huanyu Empire back to me. The emperor didn't think much about it when he heard the prince's recommendation.
"The son obeys the order, thank the father. ”
In Zhennan Palace, Guan Chenglong finally received the emperor's decree and ordered him to directly take down the people in Zhennan Wangfu and put them on death row. Guan Chenglong didn't know how happy he was when he received this holy decree, and finally waited for this day.
"Come on, take down all the people in the Lin family for me, and if you resist, kill them on the spot." Guan Chenglong issued a lore order.
The Imperial Forest Army outside the Zhennan Wangfu rushed in, and for a while, the chickens and dogs in the Zhennan Wangfu jumped, but just when they were about to enter the inner courtyard, a large group of people rushed out of the Zhennan Wangfu to stop the Royal Forest Army, and the two sides began to fight.
"Stop!" A loud roar came from the inner courtyard, and when they saw that it was Old Man Lin coming, everyone in the courtyard involuntarily stopped.
"What are you doing, when the old man doesn't exist, you dare to attack my Zhennan Palace!" Old Man Lin shouted angrily, shocking the attacking Royal Forest Army, and everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to look directly at Old Man Lin.
"Lin Tenglong, we are following the holy decree of His Majesty to take down you rebellious ministers and thieves and put them on death row, if you dare to resist, I have the right to kill you on the spot. Guan Chenglong came out and said directly to Old Man Lin.
"By Your Majesty's will, my Lin family has not done anything sorry for the Haotian Empire, how could Your Majesty give an order to arrest us? Where is the holy decree? The old man suspects that you are falsely passing on the holy decree, if you can't take it, the old man will definitely let you die on the spot!" Old man Lin said angrily.
"Hmph, see for yourself. Guan Chenglong threw the holy decree into the hands of Old Man Lin.
When Old Man Lin saw the words on the holy decree, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he grabbed the holy decree tightly with both hands, and was stunned for a while.
"How come, how come?" Old Man Lin muttered to himself.
"Take down the traitor quickly!" Guan Chenglong saw that Old Man Lin was stunned, so he shouted at the Royal Forest Army.
"Protect the old man!" I don't know who shouted, the guards of the Zhennan Wangfu sent a few people to escort Old Man Lin to the inner courtyard, and the others immediately fought with the Royal Forest Army again.
"Father-in-law, it seems that the royal family is determined to put our Lin family to death, don't you understand it now?" Old Man Lin returned to the hall of the inner courtyard, and Lin Liangdong shouted loudly to Old Man Lin.
"It's too much to deceive people, I want my Lin family to be loyal to the Haotian Empire for generations, but I didn't expect it to end up like this, ridiculous, sad!" Old Man Lin's eyes were red and he had mixed feelings.
Old Man Lin couldn't think of what was wrong, the Haotian royal family didn't even see each other, first surrounded the Zhennan Palace, and now he directly ordered to arrest him.
"Father-in-law, we still have a chance, as long as you cheer up and let go of the big work, as long as we break through and find Batian, and then turn over his Long family and take care of himself. ”
"Break through, just rely on this little guard in our house, and our Lin family has been loyal for generations, so how can I do such a rebellious thing?" said Old Man Lin in despair.
"No, father-in-law, this time my son is not alone, I have also returned with five thousand men, they are in the maple forest in the east outside the palace, as long as I send a signal, they can immediately come to support. Lin Liangdong didn't expect Old Man Lin to have such great feelings for Haotian, and he didn't even think of resisting when things came to this point.
"Five thousand? How can you have so many people? How did they get in? Why did you place them in the maple forest? Could it be that Guan Chenglong said that it was you who killed the common people in our Lin family?" Old Man Lin was shocked in his heart and stared at Lin Liangdong.
"Father-in-law, why do you think so much about your son? If it's really me who did it, then what am I going to do when I come back?" Of course, Lin Liangdong couldn't admit it.
"And my 5,000 people have been recruited by my son in the Northeast Campus over the years, as for why the 5,000 people were placed in the maple forest, it is because my son wants to surprise you, and also wants to prove your son's ability, who would have thought that such a big event happened before I could tell you. ”
"Is that really the case?" Old Man Lin's doubts were mostly dispelled.
"It's true, my son was adopted by my father-in-law since he was a child, if it weren't for my father-in-law, my son would have died in the wilderness, it's too late for me to repay my father-in-law, how can I do something that doesn't give rise to my father?" Lin Liangdong made a look of loyalty.
"I'm sorry, Dong'er, it's the old man who was carried away by anger. Old Man Lin did not doubt what Lin Liangdong said, so he apologized to Lin Liangdong.
"The father-in-law is serious, the most important thing for us at the moment is to save our lives, only by living can there be hope. Lin Liangdong breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he had thought of a countermeasure before.
"Since this is the case, then you will send a signal quickly, since the Long family is unkind to us, then don't blame the old man for being unjust to them. Old Man Lin straightened his body, as if he had regained his former spirit, his tough face was not angry and arrogant, and he was worthy of a generation of military gods.
There is still a fierce battle in the Zhennan Palace, but after all, the palace guards have a disadvantage in numbers, and if nothing else, it won't be long before the Royal Forest Army can slaughter all the defenders.
At this time, a piercing scream sounded in the inner courtyard of the Lin family, and it turned out to be a cloud-piercing arrow!
Guan Chenglong saw this cloud-piercing arrow piercing the sky and bursting in the sky, and he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart, could it be that the Lin family still had support? Just when he was puzzled, the charging sound from the east of Zhennan Wangfu answered his doubts, and if there was really support, Guan Chenglong hurriedly turned to the top of the building and looked east.
It's closer, it's closer, Guan Chenglong was still a little delusional before, but seeing the number of people who came, Guan Chenglong couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, five thousand people, there are so many people, there are more than 10,000 people in the Royal Forest Army, and there are only more than 3,000 people brought over to arrest the Lin family this time, plus the Lin family's own more than 2,000 people's security army, 3,000 people against 7,000 people, there is no chance of winning at all.
Guan Chenglong didn't think much about it, and directly ordered the Royal Forest Army to retreat quickly, and couldn't let all the three thousand people stay here, if they could return in time, all the Royal Forest Army would be gathered at that time and there would be a chance to take the Lin family, in case he didn't retreat now, he and his three thousand people were all left, and there was no one to reply, and then the royal family would be really dangerous.
Seeing that the Lin family's support army was coming quickly, Guan Chenglong and the Imperial Forest Army also quickly withdrew from the Lin family and ran towards the palace, but how could Lin Liangdong let him go easily, seeing Guan Chenglong retreating, Lin Liangdong led his men to chase and kill, and did not retract until Guan Chenglong ran out of several miles, which was a successful withdrawal of less than 2,000 people left in the Royal Forest Army.
"Father-in-law, we need to leave the Imperial Capital City as soon as possible, we are now closest to the East Gate, it is better to break through from the East Gate directly to the Northeast Campus, which is completely our Lin family's henchmen, as long as we successfully arrive at the Northeast Campus, it will be safe, and then notify Batian to come back." ”
"But Feng'er doesn't know where he is yet, if we leave, who will come to him then?" Old Man Lin sighed.
"Father-in-law, before Batian searched the whole city and didn't find Feng'er, maybe he would have died, even if Feng'er was safe and sound, but now is not the time to care about him, our primary goal is to protect the Lin family, as long as the Lin family is here, if Feng'er is still there, we will definitely be able to find it back." ”
"Well, what you said is right, then you quickly reorganize the army, and everyone follows the old man to break through and go to the northeast campus. Now that he has torn his face, Old Man Lin no longer has any scruples.
Lin Zhao listened to the order. ”
"The subordinates are here. ”
"You lead 3,000 men to the east gate quickly, kill all the defenders of the east gate, open the city gate, and wait for the army. ”
"Yes. Lin Zhao took Lin Liangdong's order and set off directly with three thousand people to the east gate.
The others surrounded the Lin family's daughters in the team, sorted out the necessary items and set off immediately. ”
For a while, the Lin family moved up and down, taking what should be brought and putting down what should not be carried, and finally everyone stood outside the gate of the Lin Mansion and gathered, looking at the gate of the Lin Mansion with reluctance in their eyes.
The look of affection in Old Man Lin's eyes was even worse, and the corners of his eyes gradually blurred, but the time was urgent, and Old Man Lin quickly put away his mind, just waiting for everyone in the Lin family to gather, with a wave of his big hand, a fire burned, and in a moment the Zhennan Wangfu was on fire, and the firelight illuminated the sky red.
At this time, everyone in the Lin family had already come out of the east gate, but they still looked back in the direction of the Lin Mansion in the imperial capital city step by step, and only then accelerated their pace and ran towards the northeast school field until they could no longer see it.
After everyone was gone, Lin Feng appeared from the shadows, these days Lin Feng has been paying attention to the movements in the city, and he always feels that something is wrong, so he didn't appear in a hurry, but since someone helped him force the Lin family to rebel, he also saved a lot of things, and the next thing is to watch his performance.
"Report, the Lin family came from an army of 5,000 people from nowhere, Guan Chenglong couldn't stop it, and the Lin family broke through the defense line of the east gate and fled. ”
The emperor, who was waiting in the main hall, was shocked when he heard the news, and the ministers in the main hall also began to discuss.
"Five thousand people? Could it be that the Lin family did it the night before?"
"How is this good, the Lin family defected, presumably Lin Batian's side will get the news later, and then he will definitely lead his troops to come, who can stop Lin Batian at that time?"
"But it's not, we have to think of a way as soon as possible, once the Lin family makes a comeback, we won't be able to run away when we want to. ”
"Silence. With a bang, the emperor slapped the dragon case heavily.
"Prime Minister Zuo, how many troops are left in the Imperial Capital City at present?"
"Back to Your Majesty, in addition to the more than 1,000 people lost in the Lin family, there are only about 10,000 people left in the Imperial Forest Army, but if you add the palace guards of all the ministers in the capital of God, there are nearly 150,000 troops. ”
"Okay, quickly recruit all the government soldiers, send 20,000 people to chase down the defectors of the Lin family, and all the rest are stationed at the three city gates, I don't believe that the Lin family can still turn the sky upside down. ”
