Chapter 617: Just about to make a move, the Eighth Prince takes action
The fifth prince curled his lips and said: "Old man, do you know the terrain of Longxia Pass? When I was a mighty general, I guarded Longxia Pass for three full years! No one knows the dangers there better than me! That place is a battleground for military strategists during wartime. Floods or landslides will occur when it rains. When I was guarding Longxia Pass, I didn't dare to send troops to patrol in rainy weather. That Lin Yun must be! Must die!"

The Eight Sage King shook his head helplessly, knowing that he could not be persuaded.

At this time, Meng Yuan said: "There are two more urgent things now!"

The Eight Sage King raised his eyebrows and said, "Meng Zhongtang, please speak!"

"First, send reliable personnel to conduct a carpet search. As the emperor said, if you want to see people alive, you must see corpses! This is very important for the next plan! Second, if it is confirmed that Lin Yun is dead, we must take action. Go and form an alliance with this generation of Fengyang King to get as much Niubei Village as possible! Especially the villagers in the village! They are all skilled craftsmen carefully trained by Lin Yun. Whoever can get Niubei Village next will have the best chance. Can win!”

As soon as these words came out, the Eight Wise Kings and the Fifth Prince fell silent, but their breathing gradually became heavier.

They naturally know how valuable Niubei Village is.

Once Niubei Village is controlled, it is equivalent to obtaining a military production base, which can continuously produce weapons and equipment in the future. This power is enough to subvert everything now.

In the past, with Lin Yun's pressure, no one dared to reach into Niubei Village, but it is different now.

Lin Yun's life or death is uncertain, but anyone with ambition will not miss Niubei Village.

The fifth prince suddenly stood up and said: "Then what are you waiting for? I will send people 800 miles away to hurry up and take the lead in controlling Niubei Village!"

He seems to be seeking benefits for the princelings, but in fact he wants to monopolize Niubei Village.

As long as Niubei Village falls into the hands of the Fifth Prince, he can declare himself king on the spot, or simply form a temporary alliance with Fengyang Wang Linxuan. When his troops are strong, he can march north and capture the capital in one fell swoop.

At that time, no matter how ambitious the emperor is, facing a well-equipped army, he will have no choice but to abdicate and make way for others.

All princes and princes must stay away. Anyone who dares to provoke him will be killed by him.

At this moment, the fifth prince seemed to have seen himself wearing a yellow robe and becoming a great treasure.

The Eight Sages and Meng Yuan looked at each other and smiled, and did not object this time.

The Eight Wise Kings stood up and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Fifth Brother! If we can control Niubei Village, our chances of winning can be increased by another 30%!"

The fifth prince secretly rejoiced: "Haha, eighth brother, you don't have to be so polite! This is all Brother Yu's responsibility! In addition, please tell the prince that I will take over Niubei Village as soon as possible, so I will leave first!"

Afterwards, he turned and left.

Meng Yuan sneered: "He Li Zhen really doesn't have a brain!"

"That's how good he is! However, Lao Wu just thinks the problem is simple and crude, but he is not stupid at all! We still have to be on guard!"

"Hmph, is Niubei Village so easy to get? Don't forget, Lin Yun also hid a private army of a thousand people in Niubei Village. If I take action, it's not certain who will win if he is asleep!"

The Eight Sage King nodded secretly. In his opinion, now was not the best time.

However, Meng Yuan's poisonous plan is really powerful. Once the fifth prince takes the risk, they will be able to benefit, and the emperor will not let him go.

The most important thing is that as long as Lin Yun's body is not found, one cannot easily draw conclusions, let alone reveal one's ambitions.

Especially the emperor's meaningful words just now were obviously warning them not to cause trouble at this juncture.

At this time, a guard walked in, knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, I have come 800 miles away to report that someone outside Longxia Pass discovered Lin Zhongtang and the second prince, leading several imperial guards into Qingshan Village outside the pass!"

The Eight Sage King's eyes lit up: "Is the news reliable?"

"It's absolutely true, but Lin Zhongtang and the others are very weak, and they seem to have suffered some injuries!" The Eighth Sage King raised his finger at the guard.

The guards immediately came forward.

"You immediately leave for Jiangxia County and let Wu Di personally lead an elite team to Qingshan Village to intercept and kill! Remember, never underestimate the enemy, fight quickly, and don't give the opponent a chance to react! If you succeed, you will be the first to attack. I immediately went to Yulin City to find Fengyang Wang Linxuan and said that I am willing to form an alliance with him!"

"I humbly obey my orders!"

The guards took the order and left.

The Eight Wise Kings sighed: "I hope I can succeed this time!"

menu Jealousy, and the emperor’s suspicion!”

Ye Mansion.

Ye Ruhui was reading leisurely in the study room. The door was suddenly opened, and Ye Wanqing walked in with a haggard look.

"Pfft!"

She knelt directly on the ground and said with red eyes: "Dad, you must save Lin Yun this time! My daughter, please!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed three times.

Ye Ruhui immediately stood up, walked around the desk to help her up, and said, "Wanqing, what are you doing? Get up quickly!"

Ye Wanqing cried: "Dad, you must have heard about it, right? Lin Yun and the others were killed in Longxia Pass and have been missing for three days! Please ask dad to arrange some manpower, my daughter wants to go find it herself!"

"Silly girl, what can you do if you go there? Besides, do you know how dangerous Longxia Pass is? In the past few days, the imperial court has sent out imperial troops to search and rescue, but they have sometimes caused casualties, not to mention you, a weak woman!"

Ye Wanqing sobbed twice, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "So, dad is not willing to help?"

"Hey, second girl, do you think dad is that kind of cold-blooded and ruthless person? Lin Yun is missing, and dad feels uncomfortable! But just now the infantry commander's office has sent a large number of imperial troops to search and rescue! What we can do now Just to stabilize the situation for Lin Yun! If we mess up, it will be even worse for Lin Yun!"

"Hmph! If Lin Yun dies, what's the use of caring about this? Forget it if dad doesn't want to help! My daughter will find her own way!"

After saying that, Ye Wanqing turned around and left.

At the same time, for the first time, I felt resentment towards Ye Ruhui.

She returned to Yun Mansion in despair, her mind already in a state of confusion.

At this moment, Princess Fuyao disguised herself as a man and walked into the courtyard wearing a gold gilt robe with her hands behind her back, followed by a group of palace guards.

Two Yun Mansion guards immediately stopped him, but they couldn't stop him because of the overwhelming number of people.

Princess Fuyao came to the living room and pushed open the door. Ye Wanqing was startled and stood up quickly.

"Mr..Why are you here, Your Highness the Princess?"

Princess Fuyao pouted her little lips with a look of arrogance: "I'm talking about Ye Wanqing, Lin Yun has been missing for several days, how can you still be in the mood to sit here and drink tea? Do you really want to be a widow?"
