Chapter 501: Testing each other, Lin Fengjiao is critically ill
  Lin Yun was already cursing loudly in his heart.

No matter how much money the emperor gave, Lin Yun would still have to spend it in the Daduan Dynasty in the end, which was equivalent to getting the talents that Lin Yun had carefully cultivated in the past few years without paying any price.

But he didn't dare to say it clearly on his face. He coughed lightly and said: "Didn't the Eighth Prince just say that he would arm ten thousand elites? Give me another year, and I can definitely complete it! However, these equipment cannot be given to the imperial court in vain. The imperial court You have to spend money to purchase it! Moreover, I must provide the later maintenance and consumption of ammunition!"

By saying this, he was tantamount to rejecting the rude request of the Eight Wise Kings, and also paving the way for future negotiations with the court.

After all, it was a matter of arms, and Lin Yun didn't dare to be careless. If the court wanted to kill the donkey, wouldn't he be shooting himself in the foot?
  Sure enough, the Eight Sage King frowned and said displeasedly: "Lin Yun, I asked you to hand over those skilled craftsmen, but in disguise I am protecting you! Unless you really have the intention to rebel! Your current idea is already in danger On the edge!"

Although the emperor did not ask him to force Lin Yun, that was what the emperor meant, otherwise he would not have allowed the Eighth Sage King to go there in person.

Lin Yun slightly narrowed his eyes and said, "The Eighth Prince should understand Lin Yun. When I resisted the rule of the Lin family, I was oppressed by them. If that's the case, then..."

He deliberately put it off and looked at the Eight Wise Kings with equally deep eyes.

One of them is a tycoon, and the other is a prince. Naturally, it is impossible for them to fall out directly, but this kind of verbal game is even more dangerous.

Based on Lin Yun's evil intentions, if the Eight Sage King really dared to turn against him, he would never be able to leave Niubei Village alive.

But if Lin Yun really dares to attack the Eight Wise Kings, he will definitely be attacked by the imperial army.

For now, this is not in his interest, and he is not ready for a war.

The Eighth Sage King took a deep breath. He knew what Lin Yun was going to say in the second half of his sentence and said, "Lin Yun, I really don't want to become an enemy with someone like you, so you'd better think about it!"

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "There is nothing to consider! These villagers in Niubei Village are my final bottom line. If the imperial court wants to divide and disintegrate my power in this way, then Lin Yun will have no choice but to be forced to go this way even if he has no intention of rebelling. There is a way! Of course, if the imperial court does not move my Niubei Village, I can guarantee that I will never threaten the imperial court, and I will also pay tribute to the imperial court with a batch of weapons and equipment every year!"

In the distance, Qi Rui and others could not hear the conversation between Lin Yun and the Eight Wise Kings, but just by looking at the changes in their expressions, they all felt that the conversation was not pleasant.

This can't help but make everyone nervous.

If the talks break down, then their subordinates will take action immediately.

At this time, the Eighth Sage King suddenly smiled, patted Lin Yun's shoulder, and said, "Okay, don't rush this matter! How about we wait until I go back to discuss it with the Emperor before making a decision?"

Lin Yun also smiled and said: "Okay! Then Lin Yun will wait for the good news from the Eighth Prince!"

The Eighth Sage King nodded and said: "Tell me about your next plan! If you really plan to fight to the death with the Lin family, then the imperial court will definitely help you! The emperor has issued a decree to let me take charge of Yucheng's 20,000 garrison at the critical moment. , can assist Mr. Lin to eliminate the Lin family!"

Lin Yun's heart skipped a beat and he said, "It seems that the Emperor really doesn't believe me anymore! In this case, the defense of Yucheng is left to the Eighth Prince! We can help each other until Lin Fengjiao dies, and the Lin family's army They will definitely come out in force!”

The emperor asked the Eight Wise Kings to control the 20,000 garrison because he was worried that Lin Yun would directly claim the throne after defeating the Lin family. The 20,000 garrison, plus the secret weapons in Lin Yun's hands, would be enough to threaten the Daduan Dynasty. Any force could even threaten the imperial rule.

"What! Lin Fengjiao died? Lin Yun, what do you mean by this? Do you want to kill her?"

Lin Yun pretended to be profound and said: "That's right! The plan has been started a long time ago! If everything goes as I expected, Lin Fengjiao would be terminally ill by now!"

The Eighth Sage King frowned and said, "What did you do to the Lin family before?"

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "It's just some small tricks that don't make sense! Don't mention it! It just so happens that the Eighth Prince is here. You might as well take a rest in Niubei Village these two days. Maybe good news will come soon!" Eight Sages Wang looked at him with a complicated expression and said, "Did you poison Lin Fengjiao?"

Lin Yun neither admitted nor denied, but said with a smile: "Could the Eighth Prince blame Lin Yun?"

"No!" The Eighth Sage King smiled awkwardly, but when he looked at him again, his eyes were full of fear.

If Lin Fengjiao was really poisoned to death, then the court would have to be careful.

This Lin Yun is so ruthless and will do anything to his enemies.

Moreover, although the defense of the vassal Lin family was far inferior to the court's protection of the emperor, it was also very difficult to poison Lin Fengjiao, the leader of the Lin family.

It would be terrible if Lin Yun could still succeed.

Not only is this man ruthless and thoughtful, his methods are also hard to guard against.

Once he is given power, he is a huge threat to anyone.

At this moment, the Eight Wise Kings finally understood that Meng Yuan's worries were not groundless.

When Lin Yun makes good use of it, it is simply an indestructible sword. The sword's edge points to it and is invincible.

But if it is not used properly, it will suffer huge backlash.

Lin Yun had seen this look in the eyes of the Eight Wise Kings before in Ma Jina, so he instantly understood what he was thinking.

But now that the matter was over, Lin Yun didn't bother to explain, and said with a smile: "What? The Eight Wise Kings must be scared, right?"

The Eight Wise Kings smiled bitterly: "No! Mr. Lin, don't worry too much!"

How can he not understand now that Lin Yun is definitely not easy to mess with. He seems to be approachable and greets everyone with a smile, but if he really makes a move, he will never give you a chance to react.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hoofbeats in the distance. An intelligence officer sent by Yucheng Mansion got off his horse and immediately knelt down in front of Lin Yun. But when he saw the presence of the Eight Wise Kings, he was embarrassed and at a loss. He didn't know whether he should do it or not. say.

The Eight Sage King said solemnly: "If it is inconvenient, I can avoid it!"

Lin Yun smiled and said: "What are you talking about, Eighth Prince! I, Lin Yun, am loyal to the court, so naturally I have no secrets that cannot be told!"

The Eighth Sage King then showed a satisfied smile. Regardless of whether it was true or false, Lin Yun's words made him feel comfortable.

Lin Yun looked at the intelligence officer and said, "If you have anything to do, just tell me directly! No need to hide it!"

"Yes! Mr. Lin! News just came from Yulin City that the eldest elder of the Lin family, Lin Fengjiao, is critically ill. Although the Lin family has been hiding the news, this matter is so serious that Lin Fengjiao may not be able to hold it anymore! The senior leaders of the Lin family have secretly been hiding the news. Get ready for the funeral!"
