It's another day.

The autumn breeze is bleak and the weather is getting cooler.

I don't know why, these days, the capital is particularly desolate.

Many people closed their doors, and the vendors who used to patrol the streets are now gone.

It seems that everyone smells a different smell, and this autumn, the capital is not calm.

Lin Man'er is like in the past,

After washing, he went to the main hall to serve tea to his father.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the main hall today, she saw Lin Chunqiu sitting on a rosewood chair with a gloomy face, not saying a word, staring at herself coldly.

And at his feet, there was a sickle broken in two, which was discarded at will.

Seeing this, Lin Man'er couldn't help but be shocked in her heart.

Because this sickle was handed to him by his father a few days ago when he accompanied his father to cut bamboo.

"Lin Man'er, come here."

Lin Chunqiu raised his palm and hooked it in the direction of Lin Man'er.

That cold expression made Lin Man'er's originally frozen childhood memories appear in front of him in an instant.

Her delicate body trembled slightly, her body was uncontrollable, and she suddenly collapsed.

She was half-kneeling, her body trembling.

"Father, I know it's wrong......"

"Really?"

Lin Chunqiu's face was expressionless, and he glanced at Lin Man'er, his eyes undisguised with disgust.

"Put away your thoughts, understand?"

"For the sake of your pregnancy, this time the Father will spare you. If there is a next time, you know what the consequences will be! ”

The fear in Lin Man'er's heart at this moment has almost reached the extreme.

Hearing that Lin Chunqiu decided to let herself go, she almost subconsciously wanted to run out of the door.

But at this moment, Lin Chunqiu's calm voice with a faint coercion sounded behind her.

"Stop!"

"For the sake of my father, there are still things to be explained, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Half an hour ago, my father got the news that the Houjin army was about to arrive. Tonight is the day of our Lin Mansion's action. ”

"My father needs you to go to the palace again and control that Ji Chen in his hands. Are you sure? ”

"I ......"

Lin Man'er opened her mouth, to be honest, she felt guilty about Ji Chen in her heart.

Therefore, if it is not necessary, she does not want to be an enemy of Ji Chen, at least not now.

"What, you're hesitating?"

Lin Chunqiu sneered, suddenly his face turned pale, and he smashed the teacup in his hand with a "snap".

"Lin Man'er, do you have to think clearly, who raised you over the years?"

"And...... Even if you plan to betray the Lin family, have you ever wondered if that little emperor will trust you? ”

"After all, you left the palace on your own initiative, didn't you?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Man'er couldn't help but change her face. She opened her mouth and was about to speak, but she heard Lin Chunqiu say again:

"I know that you have been secretly investigating your mother's whereabouts all these years."

"Yes, your mother is still alive, but she was locked up by me. If you want a mother-daughter reunion, it's best to do things for the Lin family honestly. ”

Hearing this, Lin Man'er felt sad in her heart.

She turned around resignedly, staring at Lin Chunqiu's gaze, but with resentment. She almost gritted her teeth and squeezed the words out between her teeth.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"It's very simple, you take someone back to the palace tonight and control the little emperor Ji Chen."

"As long as you can do that, I can let you see your mother."

After Lin Chunqiu finished speaking, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up with a sneer.

"Lin Man'er, think about it."

"No matter what, you are the bloodline of my Lin family. In the future, if the Lin family can be in charge of the Great Zhou, you will also be able to enjoy endless glory and wealth, right? ”

"I just want to see my mother."

Lin Man'er said coldly, at this moment, the anger in her heart even defeated fear.

"Is there anything else, I'll go back and prepare if it's okay."

She said, turning to walk again.

However, this time, Lin Chunqiu did not mean to stop her, but waved his hand and said:

"By the way, yesterday's father's subordinates caught a dishonest subordinate, so you can bring her back."

As he spoke, a black-clothed figure covered in blood and covered with whip marks was pushed to Lin Man'er's feet.

Lin Man'er's pupils shrank, because she recognized that the person in front of her was not someone else, it was Qiu Lu, who had been by her side all along, loyal.

"Qiulu, why did you become like this?"

"Who the hell is it that hurt you like this!"

At this moment, Qiu Lu's face was pale without a trace of blood. She opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but she was afraid of Lin Chunqiu and didn't dare to say a word.

Lin Man'er stopped talking, picked up Qiu Lu, and walked out of the main hall.

At the same time that she closed the door, Lin Yi jumped down from the beam of the room and landed in front of Lin Chunqiu.

He clenched his hands into fists, knelt on one knee, and asked with a puzzled expression:

"My lord, why did you let go of that autumn dew? She seems to be loyal to Lin Man'er and knows a lot of things. ”

"If you get rid of her, if you want to come to Lin Man'er in your hands, you won't be able to make any waves."

When Lin Chunqiu heard this, his wrinkled old face was filled with disdain.

"It's just a rabble, and it can't be a climate at all."

"Besides...... There is the line of autumn dew, isn't Lin Man'er's mongrel also under the control of the head of the family? ”

Hearing this, a glint flashed in Lin Yi's eyes.

"I see, my subordinates have been taught."

"Okay, let's go down, tonight's action can't be missed!"

"My subordinates understand!"

……

A lot of times, coincidences always happen inadvertently.

Whether it was Lin Chunqiu or Yang Dong, they didn't expect that the other party would make a sudden move tonight.

And this has also made a lot of changes in Yang Dong's original seamless arrangement.

The Imperial Palace, the small building of the West Factory,

Yang Dong listened to Shu Mouse's report, bowed slightly,

The whole operation is arranged without leakage. But for some reason, Yang Dong always felt that he had missed something.

But he thought about it many times, but he didn't have any ideas.

In addition, the whole operation needed him to preside over the overall situation, so he simply put this matter down.

Under the calm capital,

The two forces are making final arrangements......

Autumn nights come early.

In a short time, it was completely dark.

At the same time, the two places of Xichang and Lin Mansion have begun to act intensively.

In order to ensure that the plan was foolproof, Yang Dong decided to take it personally.

Surrounded by the thick night,

Yang Dong and the secret agents of the West Factory have surrounded the Lin Mansion.

"Yang Gong, our people have surrounded the entire Lin Mansion according to the plan. The open and dark whistles have also been figured out, do you want to take action immediately? ”

"Let's do it."
