Chapter 839 Hope dashed
Lin Yun playfully said: "Any time! As long as the Eighth Prince is willing to reunite with me, then everything is easy to talk about! As for Guan Yang, his current status is not ordinary, so don't worry about it!"

Li Mu frowned secretly, not sure what Lin Yun meant by this.

Based on his understanding, Lin Yun's sudden change of nature and saying these things that were impossible before must be a trap.

Lin Yun continued: "What? The Eighth Prince doesn't believe it?"

"Hmph, I really don't believe it! How insidious you Lin Yun is, let alone me, who in the world doesn't know?"

Looking at the innocent Li Mu, Lin Yun sighed, and then turned to look at Guan Yang, who was standing aside with a guilty conscience.

"You haven't told him yet?"

Guan Yang forced a smile and shook his head slowly.

Li Mu saw the strange expressions on their faces and finally realized something was wrong. He said in a deep voice, "What happened? Guan Yang, are you hiding something from me?"

"Eighth Prince..." Guan Yang hesitated to speak, but did not dare to say it directly.

Although he is the son of Guan Haiyue, King of Han Dynasty, he has been hiding in the court for so many years and has been influenced by the Li family all day long, so he is afraid in his heart.

Even though he learned that his father had ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Hanzhong County, he still could not adjust his mentality of being a prince in a short period of time.

Moreover, based on his understanding, even if his father wins over thirteen vassal kings with different surnames, he may not be the opponent of Lin Yun, the regent.

Thirteen vassal kings with different surnames seem quite intimidating, but they can't help but take a closer look.

If they were really strong enough, how could they choose to join his Guan family?
It can only be said that they huddled together to keep each other warm. After getting together, they chased each other and boasted, making themselves believe that they could go head-on with the imperial court.

If the Li family was in charge of the world before, they would indeed have a chance of winning.

But now Lin Yun is in charge of the Daduan Dynasty, which is as powerful as King Chujiang. The most powerful and difficult bones among the thirty-six vassal kings with different surnames were all killed by Lin Yun at once.

Therefore, in Guan Yang's heart, he did not believe that his father could win at all.

Li Mu was furious: "Stop hesitating and speak quickly! What happened?"

Lin Yun looked anxious and said with a smile: "Let me tell you! Eighth Prince, Guan Haiyue, your king of Han Dynasty, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Huacheng, Hanzhong County last month. Dingguo No. Dayun, that is so majestic and powerful! When I heard about it, I was extremely envious!"

"What!! How is it possible? You lied to me!! Lin Yun, you despicable and shameless guy, don't even think about sowing discord! There is no way the King of Han would do such a thing!"

As he spoke, Li Mu endured the pain in his left leg and tried to stand up to fight Lin Yun.

Lin Yun looked at him with a half-smile, a hint of teasing in his eyes, watching him walk towards him with difficulty on a walking stick.

"Guan Yang, tell him Li Mu, did I lie to him?"

At the entrance of the palace, Zheng Li and Du Sheng looked at this scene with complicated expressions.

In their hearts, the former Eight Wise Kings always looked like a humble gentleman, elegant yet shrewd.

But now, all the halo on his body is gone. He looks not only haggard, but also impulsive. He is not the same as before.

And no matter how powerful a person is, his confidence is accumulated from one thing. Therefore, ever since Lin Yun succeeded in launching the Qingjun side, Li Mu had lost his fighter and could only struggle to deal with it, unable to make a comeback.

In fact, he has known it for a long time, but he has been unwilling to admit it.

Guan Yang sighed: "Eighth Prince, everything the Regent said is true!"

This sentence became the last straw for Li Mu, and the glimmer of hope that supported his spirit was shattered.

Li Mu froze on the spot, staring blankly at Lin Yun, then turned around and stared at Guan Yang with difficulty.

Guan Yang lowered his head and said: "Eighth Prince, I'm so sorry! Since the death of King Chu Jiang, my father has secretly recruited thirteen vassal kings with different surnames. They are now the thirteen Taibao under my father's command. I just found out about this. soon!"

Li Mu didn't say a word, limped to Guan Yang's side, and hit him on the head with the crutch in his hand.

"Your Guan family is so cruel! Before my fourth brother died, he was convinced that your Guan family was loyal to the imperial court. I didn't expect that Guan Haiyue also had wolfish ambitions!!"

"Haha!!" Li Mu smiled desolately: "Fourth brother, have you seen it? You asked the eighth brother to help the Li family, and you asked the eighth brother to avenge you. The eighth brother really can't do it!! In this case, what about the eighth brother? Brother, just go down and accompany you!"

As he spoke, he ran straight towards the red lacquer pillar on one side and hit it.

Lin Yun rushed forward quickly and grabbed him by the back collar.

"I said Li Mu, if you are not even afraid of death, why would you commit suicide?"

Li Mu said with a dark face: "Huh, Lin Yun, stop crying like a cat and pretending to be compassionate! Haven't you always hoped that I would die early so that you could clean up my Li family clan? Why are you still trying to stop me?"

Lin Yun sneered and said: "You have to understand something! From the day you choose to serve this king, your life no longer belongs to you! Without my order, you will have to survive no matter how painful it is!" When you die, I will give you a happy life!"

As he spoke, he gave Li Mu a hard shake, and Li Mu sat back in the wheelchair in embarrassment. His aggrieved look was unbearable to watch.

In Du Sheng's view, this is the fate of a country and a family. The Li family is completely finished, and the only pillar of the Li family, the Eight Wise Kings, has also completely fallen.

At this time, Lin Yun said: "Do you know what I mean by letting you two meet so late?"

Li Mu didn't say anything anymore. There was nothing more sad for him than heartbreak.

And Guan Yang is not feeling well either, he has to bear even more.

Lin Yun waved his hand and said: "Mr. Du, tell them what you just thought!"

"I obey my orders!!"

Du Sheng stepped forward and said: "Eighth Prince, I have just negotiated with the regent and got his consent! So, if you still want the Li family to continue, then for now, you can only We are fully cooperating with the regent! As long as you obey the advice, when Guan Haiyue is defeated, the Li family will be able to spread its branches in Hanzhong County! By then, if you really have this skill, you can still make your name famous in history! "

The Eight Wise King's eyes lit up and he sneered: "Are you kidding me! Is there such a good thing in the world? Will he, Lin Yun, accept it?"

Lin Yun said with a smile: "Why can't you accept it? In recent months, I have indeed been secretly attacking your Li family, but the purpose is not to kill, but to govern! Therefore, if the Eighth Prince is willing to cooperate, I I might not be able to give you a way out for the Li family in the future!"

The strategy proposed by Du Sheng just now can be regarded as an introduction. If Lin Yun can accept the Li family, then if the Guan family is willing to return to the Daduan Dynasty, Lin Yun can also accept it.
