Chapter 799: Bearing a thorn to plead guilty, the Chu family’s plan

Shi Bao nodded and said: "Understood! Brother Yu is definitely not that kind of pedantic person. Even the Eighth Prince has surrendered, so there is no point in Brother Yu holding on!"

In fact, he was very disappointed with the Eight Wise Kings. He had always thought that he was following a wise master, but the regent Lin Yun suddenly rose up and defeated the Li family with lightning speed. It was only a matter of time before he became the great treasure in the future. Problem.

Now that the outcome has been decided, it's time for him to think about his future.

At this time, the maid came over with a coat, and Ye Wanqing coughed lightly: "Give him the coat! General Shi Bao, just take care of yourself!"

After that, she left first.

Ye Wanqing didn't want anyone to know about her brother-sister relationship with Shi Bao.

It's not that she deliberately concealed it, but she recently discovered that the attitudes of First Lady Lin Wuyue and Fourth Lady Li Qingyue have changed inexplicably.

Later, when Oona accidentally mentioned something about the future queen, Ye Wanqing, who was ice-snowy and smart, suddenly realized.

It's true that they had a deep love for each other as sisters before, but that was back when they were living hard times and accompanying Lin Yun to conquer the world.

But now that all the hardships have come to an end, Lin Yun will definitely become emperor in the next step, so the relationship between them becomes subtle.

Since ancient times, the harem has not been a pure place. These women can fight for Lin Yun, but what about the power behind them?
With Sun Xuemeng's lesson learned from the past, it is impossible for these women to have a clear mind. They know Lin Yun's bottom line. As long as they support Lin Yun unconditionally on major issues of right and wrong, everything will not be a problem.

Shi Bao looked at the handed coat, hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "No! I don't need these, you can take them!"

After listening to Ye Wanqing's words just now, Shi Bao's mentality completely changed. When the maid left, he looked up at Lin Yun's shadow in the study, with a hint of longing in his eyes.

As long as Lin Yun gives him a step down this time, he will surrender immediately.

Soon, it was the fourth watch, and the sky was already bright.

Although it is autumn and the sun rises late, if you look closely, you can still spot the white fish belly on the horizon.

Shi Bao felt that his knees were numb, and the biting cold feeling made him shiver. It was extremely difficult to move even slightly.

But at this moment, there was a rapid sound of boots coming from outside the Moon Gate behind him.

He reluctantly turned his head and looked around. In the darkness, a guard holding a lamp was walking at the front, followed by Qi Rui.

Tongshan Pass is less than a hundred miles away from the capital. He rode a horse for a whole night and was still sleepy and tired.

Qi Rui said with a smile: "Hey, General Shi is really obedient. As expected, he came here to apologize! Didn't the prince meet you?"

Shi Bao snorted coldly: "Commander Qi no longer guards Tongshan, why did he suddenly come back?"

Qi Rui raised his head slightly: "Of course there is an urgent military intelligence report! Just reflect on it slowly here!"

After that, he quickly came to the study door and knocked a few times.

"Qi Rui, a humble official, has military affairs to report to the prince!"

"Oh, it's Qi Rui! Come right in!" Lin Yun's voice sounded.

He then pushed the door open and went in. He saw a brazier on the ground with charcoal burning inside, and Lin Yun was leaning on the Grand Master's chair, flipping through the list of more than 10,000 people sent by Ouchi Longying sent by Du Sheng.

Lin Yun said: "Come back so late, is there any news in the Chu family?"

Qi Rui looked joyful, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, as you reminded me before, I negotiated with the senior leaders of the Chu family yesterday afternoon. I thought there was no progress, but I didn't expect that the eldest son Chu Xiang sent someone to secretly deliver a message in the evening. It is said that they can accept the two conditions proposed by the regent! But they hope that the prince will no longer restrict their purchase of weapons and equipment, and hope that the court can assist the Chu family in carrying out comprehensive military reforms!"

Lin Yun stood up suddenly, walked around the desk and hugged his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Okay! Qi Rui, you have worked hard this time! Come sit down and warm yourself by the fire!"

Qi Rui sat upright next to Lin Yun, with his back straight and his hands warming the fire. He said worriedly: "Your Majesty, the Chu family agreed so happily this time. Is there a conspiracy behind it? We were negotiating at the Dragon Gate yesterday afternoon. At that time, the Chu family’s general Chu Xun once uttered wild words, saying that the Chu family had secretly cultivated an army of 500,000..."

Lin Yun sneered and said: "It doesn't matter! Don't worry if there is a conspiracy! The thing I am not afraid of the most is the conspiracy! What he, the King of Chujiang, is worried about is the bamboo gun in my hand, and what I am worried about is the dozens of dollars he has accumulated in Chujiang County. Years of wealth will depend on who among us has the last laugh!”

Qi Rui cupped his fists and said, "Then the regent must have the last laugh!"

Lin Yun nodded: "Okay! It's hard for you to travel all night this time. Why don't you go to the lounge in the back room to have a rest!"

He knew that Qi Rui rushed back to deliver the news and would definitely return to Tongshan Pass later.

As a leader, Lin Yun naturally has to pay some attention.

"I am now a young man in my humble position, so I don't feel tired at all! It's just that the prince has many things to do, and now he has to be entangled with busy government affairs all day long, so you must take care of yourself!"

What Qi Rui said was true to his heart, because the Qi family had put all their hopes on Lin Yun.

The higher Lin Yun climbs in the future, the more benefits the Qi family will gain, and vice versa.

Lin Yun moved his shoulders and said: "Hey, I have wanted to take a rest for a long time! After meeting with King Chujiang in a few days, I will return to Fengyang County. If time permits, I will even go there. Panda Royal Court!"

If this operation goes well, he will definitely reward his subordinates, and Panda Royal Court will also actively cooperate with his operation, and they will definitely give some benefits.

This was quite important to Lin Yun, because it was the first time that the influence of Fengyang County and Panda Royal Court were simultaneously used against a certain force.

Qi Rui nodded and suddenly grinned: "Your Majesty, that Shi Bao is still kneeling outside the door! In this cold weather, instead of freezing him to death, it's better to make good use of him!"

Lin Yun raised his finger and pointed at him, playfully saying: "You have grown up a lot, and you have actually learned how to win people's hearts! Did Qi Changyun teach you?"

"Haha, if my father had this ability, he would have become a genius long ago! It was because he was infected by the prince's personality charm that he learned some essence!"

"Haha! Okay, you kid, don't try to flatter the horse! If you can successfully solve the Chu family chaos this time, I will definitely remember you! Let's go, I won't keep you, and call Shi Bao in by the way! "

Qi Rui bowed, clasped his fists and said, "I humbly obey my orders!"

After that, he opened the door and walked out of the study, came to Shi Bao, and said with a faint smile: "General Shi, get up! Your Majesty invites you!"

Shi Bao's eyes lit up, and he immediately lowered his head and tried to stand up. He didn't want to be embarrassed in front of Qi Rui, but his body really couldn't bear it.
