Chapter 569: The root of the disaster is laid, the Eighth Prince comes to visit
At this time, Lin Jinbiao, who was lying on the horse, said weakly: "Commander Zheng, you can't escape if you take me with you! Let me dismount!"

Zheng Li whispered: "Shut up if you don't want to die!"

His whole body was tense now, his concentration was highly concentrated, and he slowed down the horse's running speed, intending to wait until Fu Tianyong got closer and then take a shot.

If he could kill Fulin'an's second son, he would be considered a great achievement.

Of course, Zheng Li had no idea how many things had happened in the past few days since he left Beijing, nor did he know that Lin Yun had been tricked by the emperor.

Fu Tianyong, who grew up in the capital, had a smooth journey and had never experienced such a chase. He thought Zheng Lili slowed down because he was carrying the injured Lin Jinbiao.

So, he rounded the riding crop in one hand and sped up to catch up.

At this moment, Zheng Li found the right opportunity, relied on his amazing waist strength, sat firmly on the horse, raised the gun with both hands, aimed at Fu Tianyong and fired directly.

"what!!"

Fu Tianyong let out a scream and fell off his horse heavily.

Zheng Li stopped immediately and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Jinbiao, who was lying on the horse, was shocked. He did not expect Zheng Li's military qualities to be so strong.

The other party had revealed his identity as Fulin'an's second son, but he still shot him without hesitation. This was an unusually bold move.

Zheng Li got off his horse, walked slowly to Fu Tianyong, and said with a sneer: "It turns out that General Fu is just a strong-willed guy. If I had known that he was only capable of this, I wouldn't have run away!"

Fu Tianyong was shot in the chest and was bleeding all over the floor. He looked at him dying and said in a deep voice: "Damn it! Zheng Lili, if you dare to kill me, my father will never let you go!"

Zheng Li smiled contemptuously. This expression was very similar to Lin Yun. He was completely imitating Lin Yun's acting style.

"Hmph, your father has committed treason and can't even protect himself! How can he have time to care about you? So, General Fu, don't blame me for being cruel! You brought this on yourself!"

After that, he didn't hesitate, raised his hand and shot.

The bullet instantly penetrated Fu Tianyong's eyebrows, killing him on the spot.

At this time, Lin Jinbiao said weakly: "Commander Zheng, you...have caused a big disaster this time!"

Zheng Li said displeased: "If I don't kill him, should I wait for him to kill me? Master Lin had better keep his mouth shut!"

Lin Jinbiao opened his mouth, and finally let out a long sigh, completely losing his temper.

Although he didn't know what happened in the capital, he also understood how special Fu Tianyong's identity was, and killing him directly was definitely an irrational choice.

After that, Zheng Li rode back to the battlefield. The men in black had been killed, but more than half of Ma Ji's elite cavalry were also lost, leaving only ten survivors.

They successfully walked out of Fengyang County and met up with the people brought by Qi Rui at a post station thirty miles away from the capital. After a conversation, they returned to the capital together.

But when Qi Rui learned that Zheng Li had killed Fu Tianyong, he was stunned.

He understood that the capital was in complete chaos this time.

Fulin'an was well-known for protecting his sons, and he treated his two sons as precious little ones.

Fu Tianyong, in particular, has been frail and sick since he was a child, otherwise he would not have sought treatment from Sun Xing in the first place.

Now that Fu Tianyong was killed, Fulinan will definitely take revenge at all costs.

However, he couldn't explain the specific matter to Zheng Li, a domestic slave, and could only wait to figure it out after returning to Beijing.

Three days passed in a flash.

Capital City, Yun Mansion. Since the last time he had an unpleasant quarrel with the emperor in the palace, Lin Yun pretended to be sick at home and never went to court.

But in fact, he has been worried about Zheng Li's situation these days.

If the operation failed, not only would Zheng Li's life be in danger, but the secret letter that could kill Fulin'an would also be completely lost.

Once Fulin'an is relieved, Lin Yun's hard days will come.

At this time, a guard came to the study, clasped his fists and said: "Lin Zhongtang, the Eight Wise Kings are here and are waiting for you in the living room!"

Lin Yun frowned and said, "Who asked you to take him into the house?"

The guard smiled bitterly and said: "Don't blame me, sir. The Eight Wise Kings said they came with the emperor's will, and there is nothing they can do about it!"

Lin Yun took a deep breath and could only get up and walk out of the study.

When they came to the living room, they could hear the Eighth Sage King chatting with Ye Wanqing from a distance. They seemed to be having a very happy chat, and his hearty laughter could be heard from time to time.

Lin Yun came to the door with his shoulders crossed and said in a strange tone: "The Eighth Prince is so elegant! He actually had a lively chat with my second wife!"

Ye Wanqing stood up quickly and spat softly: "Nonsense!"

The Eighth Sage King smiled and said: "Hey, it turns out that Lin Zhongtang is not sick! It seems that he is deliberately pretending to be ill if he has not gone to court these days! This is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Lin Yun curled his lips and said: "Okay! The Eighth Prince has even brought the imperial edict. I have to crawl out to receive the edict even if I crawl!"

The Eight Wise Kings nodded and smiled, waving their hands and saying: "Lin Zhongtang, come and sit down!"

"You won't read out the imperial edict?"

"The emperor just asked me to come and visit Lin Zhongtang!"

Lin Yun then sat on the Taishi chair next to him.

"How are you? Lin Zhongtang has had a few days' rest. Does he feel better?"

Lin Yun patted the clothes on his chest and said absently: "It's just average! In terms of mood, I am naturally not as good as the Eighth Prince!"

The Eighth Sage King deliberately leaned closer to him and whispered: "That's it! The emperor already said that he didn't handle the matter last time properly! Is it possible that Lin Zhongtang still wants the emperor to admit his mistake to you in person?"

Lin Yun's expression softened slightly and he said, "Of course not! By the way, how is the fifth prince doing these days?"

"The person is awake, but he is seriously injured and needs some time to rest!"

Lin Yun nodded: "Okay, thank you so much for your concern, the Eight Wise Kings! I will definitely go to court on time tomorrow! I have something else to do, so I won't keep you here!"

Seeing that he issued an order to expel guests, the Eighth Sage King immediately raised his hand and said, "Hey, what do you mean? I personally came to the door, and you actually dare to chase me away?"

Lin Yun rolled his eyes and said, "If the Eighth Prince doesn't leave, why should I ask you to stay for dinner?"

The Eighth Sage King coughed lightly and said, "Okay, no more joking! Lin Zhongtang, when the emperor appointed you as Minister of War, do you know the deep meaning?"

Lin Yun said: "Don't you just want me to reform the imperial army?"

"That's right! I believe that after you went to the Ministry of War and took up the post that day, you should also know the current situation of our Daduan Dynasty, right?"

Lin Yun nodded solemnly: "I know! Now the imperial court is surrounded on three sides by those vassal kings with different surnames. Although we, Fengyang County, are resisting in the southwest, there is also the Panda tribe on the border who is eyeing me, coveting my Daduan country!"

"Hey, now that you know everything! That's easy to handle! Lin Yun, can you mass-produce the landmines that were previously installed in Niubei Village? If they can be buried in the border area, we can protect our Daduan country from foreign enemies. If you want to invade, you will have to pay a heavy price!"
