Chapter 705: The Eight Wise Kings surrendered, and Yun County faced a confrontation
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Qi Changyun and his son suddenly changed.

"Eighth Prince, where do you start with these words? According to what I said, Lin Zhongtang is loyal to the court! There is nothing out of the ordinary in what he does..."

"Huh, old man!" The Eighth Sage King smiled helplessly, raised his finger and pointed at him: "Why are you pretending to be stupid! Don't tell me, you don't know that Lin Yunxia was responsible for the explosion in the palace!"

"To be honest with the Eighth Prince, I really don't know anything about it!"

"Okay! You don't need to hide it in front of me! The emperor has admitted this matter, but you old fox don't know about it? To be blunt, if Lin Yun hadn't suddenly brought this matter up, how could you have made up your mind so quickly? Determined to surrender to him?"

Qi Changyun was speechless. He really couldn't say anything.

"The Eighth Prince, just tell me why you are looking for me! As for whether Lin Zhongtang has any rebellious intentions, it doesn't matter if you tell me! It still depends on the emperor's wishes!"

The Eighth Sage King lowered his head, raised his hand and patted the robe on his body, and said meaningfully: "I have had some unpleasantness with Lin Yun recently! If it were in the past, I would not be afraid of him, but now... the situation Better than humans!"

Qi Changyun joked: "So, the Eighth Prince wants me to be a peacemaker?"

The Eighth Sage King bowed his hands and saluted: "If Master Qi can accomplish this, I will definitely remember this favor from you!"

"Haha!" Qi Changyun raised his head and laughed: "The Eighth Prince really thinks too highly of me!"

The Eight Wise Kings frowned and said, "How do you say this?"

"To be honest, the relationship between me and Lin Zhongtang is not as close as you think. If the relationship is really that good, I don't have to be so anxious to show off!"

Qi Changyun continued: "Lin Zhongtang is suspicious by nature and can strategize. I think I can't see through his mind! However, this explosion in the palace, I, as the admiral of the Nine Sects, cannot absolve myself of the blame, so I had to make a choice! I just want to seek peace, but I don’t dare to have any other plans! If the Eighth Prince wants to seek peace, he might as well open his heart and make it clear to Lin Zhongtang!”

The Eighth Sage King leaned forward slightly and whispered: "Did someone come here just now?"

"Not bad!"

"Who is it? Can you tell me?"

"Princess Fuyao Li Qingyue!"

"It's her..." The Eighth Sage King's pupils shrank, his palms rested on the handle of the Grand Master's chair, and he murmured: "Qingyue, you really did this anyway!"

As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes.

Qi Changyun and his son looked at each other, somewhat confused about the meaning of the Eight Sage King's words.

At this time, the Eighth Sage King stood up, returned to his previous calm demeanor, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Master Qi, for clearing up the confusion. If nothing happens, I will take my leave now!"

With that said, he stood up and left.

In his view, the situation in the DPRK is now clear.

The powerful ministers who had troubled the emperor before were completely defeated and placed under house arrest. Only he, Lin Yun, and the reckless Fu Tianchen were left, and they were not much of a threat.

Even Qi Changyun, the former wallflower, had made his choice, so this confrontation between Lin Yun and the emperor was already won.

It depends on Lin Yun and the emperor's private negotiations. The outcome of the negotiations will affect the court for decades to come.

Yun County.

The last line of defense in the capital is also the headquarters of the 100,000 imperial guards.

However, there are no mountains or dew here at ordinary times, but when it enters wartime, this place is particularly important.

As soon as Lin Yun and his three ladies entered the city in a carriage, dozens of officers and soldiers immediately surrounded them.

Dozens of private troops led by Zheng Li also took up positions to confront him.

"Who do you dare to block the way of my Fourteenth Master?"

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing battle armor stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "The last general is Zhou Xu, the general manager of the 100,000 Imperial Forest Army. He is waiting here for Lin Zhongtang on the order of the emperor!" "Hmph, you said it was the Imperial Forest Army. The manager is the manager? Where is your identity token?"

Zheng Li knew that the other party was unkind and his attitude was extremely arrogant.

Zhou Xu looked gloomy and said in a deep voice: "You are a slave, you are not qualified to ask me to take out my identity token! I want to ask you, is Lin Zhongtang in this carriage?"

"My Fourteenth Master has entered the capital a long time ago! In this carriage are my Fourteenth Master's three wives. If you disturb them, I will take your head!"

Zhou Xun snorted coldly and waved his hand: "Be brave, here comes someone! Capture all the people in the carriage!"

Knowing that Lin Yun was not here, he became significantly more courageous.

Several officers and soldiers immediately drew their sabers and rushed towards the carriage.

Without saying a word, Zheng Li pointed his gun at them, and dozens of private soldiers around him also drew their guns at the same time.

It instantly shocked all the officers and soldiers, causing them to retreat repeatedly.

In today's Daduan Dynasty, who doesn't know how powerful the bamboo gun is? Once it fires, dozens of them will not be enough to watch.

Zhou Xu's face was even more livid. If he couldn't complete the task assigned by the emperor, he would be in misery.

He waved his horsewhip, whipped the officers and soldiers who retreated to him, and angrily shouted: "Whoever dares to retreat will be dealt with directly by military law!"

But these officers and soldiers would rather be whipped than take another step forward. The little salary they get every year is not worth fighting for.

What's more, the other party is not a vegetarian at first glance, and no one wants to get into trouble.

Lin Yun's reputation has long been resounding throughout the Daduan Dynasty. Not to mention the high-ranking officials, even ordinary soldiers know that he is not easy to mess with.

Zhou Xu cursed inwardly, slammed the riding whip in his hand to the ground, and strode towards the carriage.

Zheng Li was just about to open fire when Lin Yun in the carriage suddenly said: "Li Li..."

Zheng Li understood instantly and obediently put away the bamboo gun.

Zhou Xu came to the carriage and opened the curtain.

When he saw Lin Yun and the three ladies sitting in the carriage, Zhou Xu was frightened and stunned. His body trembled unconsciously and he stepped back step by step.

Just one glance made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.

He couldn't describe what it felt like. He felt like he was being despised, but it was more like being stared at by a ferocious beast, which made him want to hide immediately.

At this time, Lin Yun stood up and walked out of the carriage, put his hands into his sleeves, and stared at him coldly.

"Mr. Zhou, right? You are quite courageous. Do you know the consequences of blocking my carriage?"

Zhou Xu knelt on the ground with a bang and said in panic: "Master Zhongtang, please calm down! I'm just following orders, there is absolutely no malice!"

Lin Yun sighed, raised his eyes and scanned the audience.

When the officers and soldiers around him saw Zhou Xu kneeling down to beg for mercy in fear, they all knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads to look at him.

Lin Yun said: "Does the Emperor intend to let you arrest me directly?"

"No... I got an order from my superiors and am here to welcome Master Zhongtang!"

Lin Yun smiled contemptuously: "Greetings? The emperor really looks down on people! He actually sent a general manager of the Royal Forest Army over!"
