Chapter 20: Something Happened
In the rockery east of the Prince's Mansion, Cheng Mingyu received a secret call from His Royal Highness, so he hurriedly rushed to the rockery.
"See Your Highness, I don't know what Your Highness has summoned your subordinates?"
"There is news from Zhang Long's side, he has joined your uncle, your uncle has done a good job, and now Chen Long has an army of 50,000 in his hands, and I came to you to discuss what to do next. ”
"Oh, this is good news, now the Haotian Empire except for the Imperial Forest Army, the other armies are trapped on the border, if we get the right opportunity, our 50,000 troops should be able to directly take the palace of the Haotian Empire. Cheng Mingyu looked excited, and his years of planning were finally coming to fruition.
"No, although most of the troops of the Haotian Empire are not here now, the Imperial Forest Army of Haotian is not something to be underestimated, and we have to wait for a suitable time. The Third Highness shook his head and said, not impulsive.
"Alas, there was a fool in the Haotian Empire yesterday, and I actually felt that the main reason for the Three Kingdoms War was that the Lin family was in chaos, and I thought about fighting the Lin family by street parades, but I didn't think that I was directly put on death row by the Haotian Emperor. Cheng Mingyu sighed.
If he was allowed to plan at that time, it would definitely not be so rampant as a direct parade, at least most of the people would have to be pulled into the water before it was easy to do things, this time so many people were disturbed by the Lin family, if he made good use of it, maybe he could set off a big storm in the imperial capital city, so that Zhang Long would have the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos and take the palace in one fell swoop.
"It's useless to say this now, but you reminded me that there are a lot of people who have been harmed by Lin Batian in the past few days, although Emperor Haotian has come up with a means of class punishment to deal with it, but now there are definitely not a few people in the imperial capital who hate the Lin family to the core, we have to make good use of it, as long as the imperial capital city is in chaos, we will have a chance." The Third Highness's eyes flashed, and he thought of a good idea.
That night, thousands of people suddenly appeared outside the west gate of the imperial capital.
"Who's here? Report your name!" The soldiers guarding the west gate were shocked when they saw so many people suddenly appearing outside the city gate, most of the current army of the empire is going to the border to meet them, where did so many people come from?
"It's me, I'm Lin Liangdong, I received an order from the old prince, ordering me to lead the army of the Northeast Campus to return to the city to standby. ”
"Ah, it turned out to be General Lin, hurry up, open the city gate. ”
After the city gate was opened, Lin Liangdong came in with his five thousand men, and then one of the soldiers guarding the west gate came out to greet him, and by the way, he wanted to pat Lin Liangdong's ass.
"General Lin, you have worked hard, the villain wanted to join the Lin family army a long time ago, but unfortunately he has never found a chance. The person who greeted Lin Liangdong said with a flattering smile.
"Oh? Do you want to join the Lin family's army? Then now give you a chance, you gather all your subordinates, I will choose from them, as long as it is suitable, I will let you all join the Lin family's army." Lin Liangdong said with a strange smile.
"Okay, okay, the subordinates will summon it immediately. When the man heard Lin Liangdong say this, he thought that he could finally join the Lin family's army, the pillar of the empire, so he ran to the city tower and shouted directly to the whole army to gather, and everyone ran to Lin Liangdong to stand in line, but before he knew it, he was surrounded by Lin Liangdong's five thousand people.
Lin Liangdong looked at the more than a hundred people in front of him, and then asked the person who started.
"Eh, who's that, are all of you here?"
"Back to the general's words, the villain's name is Zhang Xi, except for three people who did not come to Fengyantai, the others have arrived. ”
"Zhang Xi, yes, you call those three people down, and I'll take a look at them by the way. ”
"This, general, this is not good, Fengyantai is a special place, it must be guarded at all times, if the three of them are taken down rashly, if they are reported by someone at that time, the villain's head will not be guaranteed. "Zhang Xi is a little difficult, after all, Fengyantai is too important.
"What's this, it'll be fine for a while, what are you afraid of with me here, don't you still believe me? Call all three of them down, I'll arrange for three people to take their place, and then I'll tell everyone something, and they can go up after that, it won't be long." Lin Liangdong pretended to be dissatisfied.
"The villain doesn't dare, since the general has an order, I'll let them come down now. Zhang Xi turned his head and made a look, so someone quickly went up and called the three people on Fengyan Yantai.
"Well, yes, like that, let me ask you, now that the empire is in trouble, do you want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?" Lin Liangdong saw that everyone had arrived, so he shouted to more than a hundred people in front of him.
"Yes, of course we do. Everyone was secretly overjoyed, thinking that Lin Liangdong was here to recruit them to enlist in the army and go to the front line to kill the enemy.
"Aren't you afraid of death on the battlefield?"
"Back to the general's words, we are afraid of death, but we are willing to sacrifice our lives for the country. Everyone said firmly.
"Sacrifice your life for the country, a good one to sacrifice your life for the country, then there is now a thing that asks you to sacrifice your life for the country, are you willing?" Lin Liangdong laughed secretly.
"Yes, we are willing, dare to ask the general what makes us sacrifice our lives for the country?"
"Well, very well, since you are all willing to sacrifice your life for the country, then you should go and sacrifice your life for the country now. Lin Liangdong's face was hideous, and with a wave of his hand, more than a hundred people in front of him were killed in an instant without reacting.
"Quickly clean up the body and follow the plan. Lin Liangdong ordered.
In the second half of the night, a major event occurred in the imperial capital, and the dozens of miles of people starting from the West City Gate were killed overnight, and the smell of blood filled half of the West City.
The next morning, His Majesty the Emperor received the news of the tragedy that happened last night, and ordered someone to find out who did it, and the result was very unexpected.
"Your Majesty, the Lin family is going to rebel, and please order the Imperial Forest Army to quickly take down the Lin family, otherwise there will be endless trouble!" The people who had been punished by Lin Batian before quickly knelt down and said hoarsely to His Majesty the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, the Lin family is rebellious, with a strong army in their hands, the previous general order was to ignore the law of the country, this time they actually did such a heinous thing, if the Lin family was not beheaded, how can they be worthy of the undead who died last night. ”
"Your Majesty, please make a hasty order. ”
His Majesty the Emperor had a headache, he definitely didn't believe that the Lin family would do such a thing that lost his conscience, if the Lin family wanted to rebel, they didn't have to do this, just add a yellow robe, these people don't have to think about it, is the Lin family so easy to move, even if the Lin family wants to rebel, then who can stop it?
But His Majesty the Emperor can't say clearly, the current evidence points directly to the Lin family, if you don't make a little attitude, even if the Lin family has no intention of rebelling, it will be pushed to the throne.
"Come on, go and surround the Lin family, no one is allowed to enter or leave without my order. "Finally, His Majesty the Emperor weighed the pros and cons, and still sent people to surround the Zhennan Palace, but he did not directly raid the house, after all, there are many doubts now.
But think about it carefully, it is impossible to kill so many people overnight, without thousands of people, and the West City Gate did not light the beacon smoke, which means that these people did not come in from the outside, but in addition to the Royal Forest Army in the city, only the Lin family has the ability to do it. Therefore, although His Majesty the Emperor did not believe that the Lin family would rebel, he could not help but suspect that the Lin family would rise.
Zhennan Palace, Guan Chenglong led the Imperial Forest Army to surround the Lin Mansion, and the subordinates of the Zhennan Palace, who saw this posture and ran to the mansion in fright, and then reported to the old man Lin.
Guan Chenglong was very happy in his heart, it would be great if the Lin family could come out with a few people to resist at this time, and he would have an excuse to destroy the Lin family, and then the Lin family would collapse, maybe the Lin family's army would be in the hands of the Guan family, so Guan Chenglong worked hard.
"Nephew Guan Xian, I don't know why you surrounded my Lin family, did my Lin family commit something?" Old man Lin heard the report from his subordinates, hurried to the door, and saw Guan Chenglong, his nemesis, the son of the old man Guan, but still asked politely.
"Lin Tenglong, who is your virtuous nephew, don't you know what you have done?" Guan Chenglong didn't give Lin Lao face at all, and called him by his name.
"General Guan, can you tell the old man, what did my Lin family do?" Old Man Lin was angry, and he gave Guan Chenglong a face, how much face did he give him by calling him a good nephew, since Guan Chenglong doesn't want face, let's do business.
"Lin Tenglong, your Lin family actually dared to rebel, and killed so many ordinary people in the imperial capital last night, Your Majesty was very angry when he learned about it, so he sent me to surround the Lin family. Guan Chenglong shouted at Old Man Lin.
"Nonsense, my Lin family was loyal and loyal to the royal family, how could I do something rebellious, not to mention that now my son is going to the south to defend the country, how can I do such a thing?" said the old man Lin angrily.
"The evidence is conclusive, you can't deny it, you still have to stay honest, as long as this border war subsides, the day Lin Batian returns is the time when your Lin family perishes. Hearing Old Man Lin mention Lin Batian, Guan Chenglong's mind finally cleared up, but he still said stiffly.
Yes, now the Lin family still has a Lin Batian to fight at the border, in case this matter reaches Lin Batian's ears, when Lin Batian gives up the border and returns to the dynasty directly, then the Huanyu Empire will be able to wave its army straight in, and then the Haotian Empire will be in danger, so Guan Chenglong no longer pays attention to Old Man Lin, but just fights and is stationed on the periphery of the Lin Mansion to prevent the Lin family from notifying Lin Batian of the news.
