Chapter 507: The fifth prince’s power will prevent the sky from falling!
  The fifth prince thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he immediately raised his head and laughed: "Haha! Fourth brother, I didn't expect that after you become the emperor, there will be people who are afraid! God help me!"

Then, his smiling face instantly froze, and a stern look appeared in his eyes: "I did lose back then, but if I can hold this sharp knife, I will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory!"

Xiang Chong said with a shocked look on his face: "Your Majesty, what... do you mean by this?"

The fifth prince looked at him with a half-smile and said, "What do you mean? Don't you, Xiang Chong, claim to be the smartest person in the world? Don't you understand?"

After saying that, the fifth prince loosened the curtain of the carriage and began to close his eyes to rest, while his mind was thinking about how to win over Lin Yun next.

Being reminded by Xiang Chong, the number one counselor of the Daduan Dynasty, made him fully understand Lin Yun's huge power. If he could use it to his advantage, he could avenge his past.

Xiang Chong was still riding on the horse, and he was completely dumbfounded. Although he had heard some rebellious remarks made by the Fifth Prince in the past, he never took them seriously.

I just thought he was complaining about his previous failure, but this time it was different.

Once the fifth prince really takes Lin Yun under his command, the trouble will be big.

At the same time, Lin Yun and the Eight Wise Kings were full of wine and food, and their faces were red from drinking.

Qi Rui has been standing beside the Eight Wise Kings to take care of the situation.

At this time, an imperial guard whispered something in his ear. After Qi Rui sent him away, he cupped his fists and whispered softly: "Eighth Prince, it's almost time! Should we go back?"

Lin Yun smiled and said: "Why are you so anxious, Commander Qi? Didn't I just say that the Eighth Prince should rest in the village for two days and it won't be too late to leave!"

Qi Rui smiled bitterly and said: "Master Lin, there was news just now from Yucheng that the envoy from the Lin family has arrived!"

Lin Yun curled his lips and said: "We'll be there when we get there, it's just a family that is about to be destroyed! Why let the Eighth Prince travel all night?"

"this…"

Qi Rui scratched his head in embarrassment. Although he was the commander of the imperial guards and stayed with the emperor all day long, he did not dare to be rude to Lin Yun.

At this time, the Eighth Sage King, who was already a little confused after drinking, suddenly stood up and waved: "Okay, Lin Yun, it's better to go with me! Anyway, your Niubei Village has already prepared a defense, don't you want to hear this?" What do the Tinglin family want to talk to you about?"

Lin Yun took a deep breath and had no choice but to stand up.

"Okay! Since the Eighth Prince has spoken, there is no reason for me to refuse!"

After that, everyone made preparations and rushed straight to Yucheng.

When Oona learned that he was going to Yucheng, she even shouted to follow him. In the end, she was persuaded by Lin Yun and finally agreed to stay and take care of Lin Wuyue.

After all, this girl is pregnant and cannot be left without someone to take care of her.

Fortunately, Lin Yun has subdued Oona this time, so that this once unruly and willful woman finally learned some virtues.

However, Lin Yun took Zheng Li with him for safety reasons.

Let Ah San be responsible for the safety of Niubei Village.

Two days passed in a flash.

The inner hall of Yucheng Mansion.

Wang Chuanzhong paced back and forth in the hall with an anxious look on his face.

He is now an ant on the hot pot.

Let’s not talk about the envoy sent by the Lin family for now.

Just knowing that Lin Yun and the Eight Wise Kings arrived at the same time made him extremely nervous.

There was a fire in the Fengdu camp before. Although the truth was found to be Sun Xing's fault, Wang Chuanzhong was the governor of Yucheng after all.

He is also guilty of dereliction of duty and omission.

Once Lin Yun doesn't support him, and coupled with the imperial edict brought by the Eight Wise Kings, he, a fourth-grade official who has just taken office, will be completely doomed.

"Hey, I wonder where Mr. Lin and the Eight Sage Kings have gone? It's been two days, why haven't they arrived yet?" Wang Chuanzhong hammered his palm hard, sat down on the Taishi chair tiredly, and just picked up the teacup and drank. Suddenly, footsteps came from outside the door.

A captain clasped his fists and said, "Sir, please report from outside the city. Mr. Lin and the Eighth Sage King are here!"

"Quickly...inform all the officials in the government, large and small, and follow me out of the city to greet you!"

After saying that, Wang Chuanzhong stood up, picked up his official hat, put it on, and rushed out first.

He knew that the moment to decide his fate had come, and he would take it no matter it was good or bad.

Even if you die, you must die clearly.

Outside Yucheng is close to Fengdu camp.

The Eight Wise Kings looked at the camp that was burned into ruins and said nothing.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is in a very bad mood now.

Just as Qi Rui was about to open his mouth to console him, Lin Yun patted him on the shoulder, rode his horse forward and said with a smile: "Eighth Prince, things have already happened. There is no point in being depressed anymore. Let's go to the city first!"

The Eighth Sage King raised his finger and pointed at Lin Yun, and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Lin Yun, although the fault of the governor of Yucheng for this fire is your fault, you also have an unshirkable responsibility!"

The emperor had already tacitly allowed Lin Yun to secretly control Yucheng and Haocheng, just to serve as a line of defense against the Lin family.

But such a big mistake happened, and Lin Yun bears the greatest responsibility.

Lin Yun smiled awkwardly: "Yes! The Eighth Prince does not need to worry. Although the burning of the Fengdu Camp has a great impact on the morale of Yucheng, everything must be seen from both sides! If it hadn't been for this, I would not have made up my mind to change immediately. Strategy, take action against the Lin family!"

The Eighth Sage King nodded: "Yes! You are a thorn in your side! I guess the whole Lin family is more afraid of you now than the imperial court!"

After that, he rode towards Yucheng.

Lin Yun and others immediately followed.

For Lin Yun, those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. As long as they can eliminate the Lin family, they can completely make up for this mistake.

Soon, everyone came to the city gate. Wang Chuanzhong ran all the way, knelt on the ground with a thud, and shouted: "Yucheng Prefecture Yin Wang Chuanzhong meets the Eighth Prince, Mr. Lin!"

The Eight Wise Kings were smiling and looking at him with interest, while the white horse under his crotch was still pacing left and right.

"Are you Wang Chuanzhong?"

"The sins committed by the lower official are serious, and I ask the Eighth Prince to punish him! He wants to be killed or beheaded, but the official admits it! I also ask the Eighth Prince not to blame Mr. Lin! It's all because of the official's neglect of his duties that led to the big mistake!"

"Ha ha!!"

The Eighth Sage King raised his head and laughed, gave Lin Yun a meaningful look, then rode his horse and rushed directly into the city.

When he came to Yucheng, the Eight Sages no longer feared Lin Yun. In front of the officials under his jurisdiction, he naturally had to act like a king.

Qi Rui and other imperial guards followed him into the city on horseback.

Dust was flying for a while, and Wang Chuanzhong and all the officials choked and coughed violently.

At this time, Lin Yun rode up to him and said condescendingly: "Get up!"

Wang Chuanzhong stood up carefully, clasped his fists and smiled bitterly: "Sir, what does the Eighth Prince mean?"

According to his opinion, the Eight Wise Kings must have come with the emperor's will to punish sins this time.

But just now the Eight Wise Kings just laughed and said nothing, which made Wang Chuanzhong feel like he was walking on thin ice.

Lin Yun chuckled and said: "Master Wang, there is no need to be nervous, the emperor has no intention of convicting you! Even if you are convicted, I will support you, and the sky will not fall! Go to the city quickly to arrange for us to meet with the Lin family envoy!"

"Subordinate to obey!"
