Chapter 784: Final entrustment, winning trump card
The Eight Wise Kings heard the implication and sneered: "What's the use of talking about this now? Fourth brother goes on the road with peace of mind. The younger brother will try his best to find opportunities for revenge. If it fails in the end, it won't take long for the younger brother to go down to accompany you. !”

While speaking, the Eight Wise Kings had already taken out the revolver hidden in their sleeves.

In order to gain Lin Yun's trust, he must become this evil person and kill Li Jing with his own hands.

Li Jing looked up at him and said in a deep voice: "I know that Ouchi Longying is about to be destroyed! But I still have a trump card in my hand. If what the eighth brother just said is true, then I will use this trump card here you are!"

The Eight Wise King's eyes lit up: "Are you serious about what you say?"

Li Jing nodded seriously: "Of course! When have I ever lied to you?"

"What's the trump card? Can my Li family turn defeat into victory?"

Li Jing smiled playfully: "Whether you can turn defeat into victory depends on your eighth brother's ability! This card is...King of Han!"

The Eighth Sage King suddenly stood up and said in shock: "Is it him? Didn't the King of Han betray the imperial court?"

"That's right! The King of Han is the only vassal king who is loyal to our Li family! Eighth brother, listen carefully, no matter how high the price is, you must save Yuchifeng's life! Originally this was my biggest secret, even Du Sheng doesn’t even know about this! But now, I can only leave it to you! Yu Chifeng’s real name is Guan Yang, and he is the only son of King Guan Haiyue of Han and the successor of the next generation of King of Han!”

Li Jing took out half a crescent-shaped jade pendant from his sleeve and said: "Save him out and show this jade pendant to Guan Yang, and he will trust you! You will contact each other in the future, but remember, there is no complete certainty. Don’t use the power of the King of Han! If it is exposed, our Li family will really have no hope!”

"I had a conversation with Lin Yunye at Wangyue Villa, and I knew very well how ambitious he was. He wanted to use the weapons in his hands as bait to gradually eat away at all the vassal kings and seize their wealth! He has a cruel heart and is a murderer. Extremely dangerous person!"

The Eighth Sage King took a breath: "He...why does he need so much money?"

"What are you doing? Of course he wants to be emperor! Lin Yun is very smart. He knows that even if he sits on the throne, he will have no peace if he has no money in his pocket, so he is trying his best to survive! His ambition is the greatest among all the people I have ever seen! Be honest. Say, I can’t figure out what he’s thinking! If…he really wins one day, he will definitely expand outwards!”

Li Jing laughed at himself: "But unfortunately, I won't be able to see that day!"

He patted the Eight Wise King on the shoulder hard and continued: "Eighth brother, I will entrust everything to you! Listen to my advice, marry a wife and have children as soon as possible, but don't be misled by women, only if you have enough Heirs, our Li family has hope for help in the future! Finally, don’t trust my two sons, especially Daozhen, this kid is cruel and soft-hearted! If you continue to help him, you will suffer big losses in the future!”

After saying that, Li Jing took out a piece of yellow cloth from his arms and tied it around his eyes.

"Shoot! I'm... tired! If you can gain Lin Yun's trust with my life, my death will be considered worthy! In addition, if your strength allows, avenge me!"

The Eight Sage King had tears streaming down his face. Looking at his former fourth brother, memories of the past appeared in his mind.

There was the high spirits when they were princes and they were brothers, there was also the ruthlessness of Li Jing when he usurped the throne and killed his third brother, and finally there was the scene where Li Jing looked down at the court after ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor.

The Eight Sage King tremblingly raised the revolver and pointed it at Li Jing's head.

Wangchun Garden is surrounded by leafy osmanthus trees, filled with chirping sparrows, adding a bit of vitality to the long-abandoned Jing Palace.

"boom!"

A gunshot was heard in the hall, and countless sparrows were frightened and flew all over the sky.

Soon, the Eighth Sage King walked out of the palace in despair. Suddenly his feet slipped and he fell to the ground, leaning against the dilapidated palace door and crying bitterly.

He was deeply saddened, and his hatred for Lin Yun was overwhelming.

He muttered: "Fourth brother, I will avenge you! One day, I will let him experience the feeling of losing his family!"

...The living room of Prince Yun's Mansion has been decorated as a cocktail party.

Several gorgeous dancers were dancing gracefully, posing, and ogling Chu Yin from time to time.

Tonight's game was carefully prepared by Lang Qian under Lin Yun's instruction.

Lin Yun and Chu Yin sat at the small table in front of each other, drinking and talking, laughing from time to time.

Fulin'an and Du Sheng were sitting at the bottom of the table to accompany them.

Everyone drank and had fun, gradually pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

Two old men who had nothing to do with each other also whispered to each other while drinking.

They all work for Lin Yun now, and they all know each other's abilities. Naturally, they have to have a good exchange of feelings, hoping to take care of each other.

At this time, Zheng Li hurriedly came to Lin Yun's side. Dozens of fully armed guards had gathered at the entrance of the palace.

He whispered in Lin Yun's ear: "Fourteenth Master, I just received news from the palace that Li Jing is dead! The emperor sent someone to ask if there will be a funeral for him..."

Lin Yun put the wine cup on the table and said in a deep voice: "Has the obituary been issued to the outside world?"

"Not yet! Your Majesty and the Minister of Rites, Lang Qian, are still waiting for your wishes!"

As everyone knows, Chu Yin and Fulin'an Du Sheng pricked up their ears and listened quietly.

Lin Yun stood up suddenly, with a sad look on his face: he pointed at the dancers below and shouted: "Okay, stop dancing! Get out of this way!"

The music stopped suddenly, several dancers bowed and saluted, and then left through the side door.

Everyone present looked at each other in confusion, wondering what happened to make Lin Yun react like this.

"Everyone, I would like to announce a sad news now. Just now, the Supreme Emperor suddenly died suddenly in Jing Palace! Now the palace is in chaos!"

As soon as these words came out, Fulin'an and Du Sheng both took a breath and looked at Lin Yun meaningfully.

Li Jingcai abdicated not long ago, and he was only in his early forties this year. He was in his prime. How could he die suddenly?
Their first reaction was to suspect that Li Jing's death might have been arranged by Lin Yun.

But they dare not say such things.

However, I can somewhat understand Lin Yun's mood.

As long as Li Jing is alive for one day, even if he abdicates, it will be a stain and threat to Lin Yun.

Moreover, Li Jing had a very high status in the hearts of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Although he usurped the throne and seized power, his reputation was not justified, and he was still controversial after he ascended the throne.

But during his reign, he also made a lot of contributions. Even if he failed to complete the great task of reducing the vassal state, he increased the tax revenue of the Daduan Dynasty by 30%, which can be regarded as a link between the past and the future.
