wealthy lord

Chapter 612 Undercurrent
Lin Yun was now satisfied. He was not afraid of getting into trouble, but he was afraid that Li Daozong would slip up at the critical moment. When the time comes, he would definitely be affected if he brought such a sluggish person.

After that, the three of them walked out of Yun Mansion and saw an elite cavalry of thirty people in the distance, who had been waiting for a long time.

They were all wearing silver helmets and armor, with bamboo guns and sabers hung on their waists, making them look majestic.

Lin Yun felt proud in his heart. These equipments were all made by his Niubei Village, and now they have fully armed the regular army.

When Lin Yun returns to the village this time, he plans to raise the administrative level of Niubei Village and directly subordinate it to the Ministry of War.

In this way, no matter who the Lin family appoints as Fengyang King in the future, they will have no reason to make things difficult for Niubei Village.

Lin Yun stood on the steps of Yun Mansion, looking at a group of elite cavalry, and said with a smile: "I believe Zheng Li has just told you about this mission! I won't say more! I have only one request for you. , when you leave the capital, you must obey my orders unconditionally! If anyone is dissatisfied or unable to accept it, you can raise it now!"

All the soldiers immediately clasped their fists and said, "We are willing to listen to Master Zhongtang's orders!"

"Very good! When we return to the capital, I will definitely reward you with great rewards! Let's go!"

With that said, Lin Yun walked down the steps and walked directly onto the luxurious carriage in front of the door. He turned back to look at Li Daozong and said with a smile: "Your Highness, please!"

The second prince then followed and got into the car.

The large group of people left the city in a mighty manner.

Lin Yun did not hide the news of his departure from Beijing this time.

Because there are too many spies in the capital, there are even more people staring at Yun Mansion.

If he makes any slight change, those people will know it immediately.

On the way, Li Daozong said: "Is Lin Zhongtang worried because he mobilized troops and went out of the city like this?"

Lin Yun smiled confidently: "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, nothing can stop me! If anyone wants to plot against me, just come!"

Li Daozong secretly nodded, but he was looking forward to it. He had heard Li Qingyue tell Lin Yun's glorious deeds many times before. He was naturally very excited to participate in person this time. He also wanted to see Lin Zhongtang, who once made waves in Fengyang County. Is it as powerful as the legend says?

Meng Mansion, in the study.

Meng Yuan was wearing a navy blue coat and was sitting in front of the desk making tea. The Eight Sages were sitting opposite him.

Both of them were silent, as if they were waiting for something.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a guard pushed the door open and came in. He knelt on one knee and said: "Zhongtang, let's start over there!"

Meng Yuan's eyes lit up, and without raising his head, he picked up the teapot and poured tea for the Eight Wise Kings and himself.

He said in a deep voice: "Go down!"

"Yes!"

The guard stood up and left, closing the door.

The Eighth Sage King stared at the steaming tea cup in front of him and said, "My father-in-law is really planning to take action against him?"

Meng Yuan took a careful sip of the hot tea and said with a look of enjoyment: "There are not many opportunities like this! Don't you want to take the opportunity to get rid of this hidden danger?"

The Eighth Sage King smiled bitterly: "My son-in-law always feels that something is wrong! Lin Yun's methods are very powerful! Since he dared to leave the capital openly, he must have been fully prepared! Moreover, he also seconded a team of imperial guards to protect him, just in case. If we fail, we will definitely have a big feud!"

Meng Yuan smiled sinisterly, looked up at him, and said, "Failed? When did the Eighth Prince become so timid? What's more, this news was sent to Li Zhen at the same time, and I don't believe that Li Zhen can hold it back!"

The Eight Wise Kings were shocked. In order to cover up their embarrassment, they quickly picked up the teacup and took a sip. He finally understood why Meng Yuan was so bold.

With his father-in-law's cunningness, he must have set a trap for the Fifth Prince again.

"Can my father-in-law tell me the specific plan?"

Meng Yuan put down the tea cup in his hand, picked up the folding fan and fanned it twice, and said with a smile: "There is no plan! It's just to let the people below take action! Of course, it still depends on whether Li Zhen is willing to cooperate!"

The Eighth Sage King raised his eyebrows: "My father-in-law means to let the fifth prince take the lead, and then we can attack from behind?"

Meng Yuan praised: "The Eighth Prince is really smart, he can tell you everything!"

"That's right! I'm not arrogant enough to go head-to-head with Lin Yun! I didn't plan to take action at first, but Lin Yun was so bold that he secretly investigated Cui Hongyu and dared to collude with the second prince! Then this matter There must be an explanation!”

The Eighth Sage King sighed. In fact, he did not expect that the second prince would take the opportunity to get in touch with Lin Yun.

No matter how stupid he is, he realizes that Li Qingyue's behind-the-scenes operation is inseparable from this matter.

Otherwise, with the second prince's ability, he would definitely not dare to contact Lin Yun easily.

The relationship between Li Qingyue and the second prince was no secret in the palace.

If the second prince really gets Lin Yun's full support, it will be a huge blow to the princelings.

In the past, they only needed to pay attention to the emperor's decisions at all times, but in the future, they would also pay attention to the second prince's movements.

The Eighth Sage King felt irritable at the thought of facing off against Lin Yun on the same stage.

If it weren't for this father-in-law, he wouldn't be involved.

On the other side, Lin Yun led the team to leave Beijing, rested for a while at a post station thirty miles away from the capital, and then set off again.

At this time, Zheng Li rode his horse to the side of the carriage and said in a deep voice: "Fourteenth Master, I have been in and out of the capital a few times, and I am already very familiar with this route! According to the current speed of travel, we will almost reach the destination before dark. Go to Longxia Pass! The terrain there is steep and there is only one passage. If we are ambushed by the enemy, we will be attacked on all sides!"

Lin Yun opened the curtain and asked, "Then do you think we should find a place to spend the night in advance, or speed up and get out of Longxia Pass before dark?"

Longxia Pass was originally the last barrier to protect the capital. During wartime, the imperial court would send heavy troops to guard this natural barrier.

But there have been no large-scale battles in recent decades, so the place has been abandoned.

Now it has become a geomantic treasure land for bandits and rogues. As long as they ambush here, passing caravans will be lambs to be slaughtered.

Zheng Li smiled bitterly and said: "With the weapons and equipment of our team, ordinary bandits will definitely not have the courage to take action! I am worried that the capital will send people to ambush!"

Lin Yun sneered and said: "In that case, let's speed up and find a place to rest after walking out of Longxia Pass! If we are really ambushed, we can just eliminate them!"

"Yes, I humbly obey my orders!"

After receiving the order, Zheng Li immediately rushed to the front of the team and led the team on their way.

At this time, Li Daozong asked: "Did Lin Zhongtang know the news in advance? Why are you so sure that you will be ambushed?"

Lin Yun looked at him meaningfully and said, "Isn't His Highness the Second Prince the general of the Shenji Camp of Jiangxia County? Don't you understand such a simple truth?"
