Chapter 863: A Decline in the Open and a Promotion in the Dark, Beware of Xiang Chong

Lin Yun raised his hand to interrupt her and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow you will go directly to the old man to ask for half of his official title, and then go to the National Academy to find Mr. Du. If you want any position, just go and tell him directly!"

Ye Wanqing's eyes lit up, and she pulled out a secret document from her sleeve, grinning and saying, "I have already asked the old man to register as an official! However, I don't want to go to the Imperial Academy! Du Sheng and Zheng Youli are enough for me there now!"

Lin Yun frowned and said, "Where do you want to go? Are you going to the front line to find Una?"

Ye Wanqing immediately took his arm and said coquettishly: "It is true that my parents gave me life, and my husband knows me best..."

"Come on, come on, just stop it! Una is a military commander, I can rest assured she's on the battlefield, but you're not even a strategist, what are you doing on the battlefield? If something dangerous happens, how can I explain it to the old man?"

"Hmph, who needs your explanation? I am not a fool, don't I know how to avoid danger and seek good fortune? Just tell me whether you agree or not!"

Lin Yun struggled to free her hand and said angrily, "No... No! Don't go too far, girl! If you want to be an official, go to the capital, and do whatever you want. But if you want to go to the battlefield, there is no way!"

Ye Wanqing gritted her teeth and said, "Alright! You don't agree, right? Then I won't be an official anymore! From now on, you must stay in my room four days a week! Anyway, Sister Wu Yue is still recovering from her illness, and Qing Yue is pregnant! Una is not at home yet, so all your time belongs to me! When I get pregnant, you can do whatever you want, and I promise I won't ask any questions!"

Lin Yun stared at her, but was eventually defeated.

He can't lie on a woman's belly all day, otherwise kidney deficiency would be a small matter, but it would be bad if it affected his official duties.

"Good! You are really good at this! You use all your tricks on your man!"

Ye Wanqing widened her eyes and asked, "Did my husband agree?"

"Well! But, I have something to say! When you go to Jiangxia County, you should stay there and be a counselor! Don't let your imagination run wild all day long! And you are not allowed to bypass your superiors! Do you understand? If I hear Qi Rui complain, you should come back immediately!"

"Tsk, my husband arranged for me to be with King Jiangxia. Aren't you afraid that he will bear a grudge against me? He doesn't regard me as an adviser, but only as a spy arranged by my husband to be by his side!"

Lin Yun finally came to his senses and frowned secretly.

Ye Wanqing said cunningly: "So, in order not to affect the relationship between you two, my husband, please arrange for me to go to the front line! It's best to let me and Una cooperate! We are invincible in the world with one of us being a scholar and the other a warrior!"

Lin Yun looked at her blankly. This woman must have planned it in advance. Maybe Una was waiting for Ye Wanqing to meet up there.

"Husband, please say something! Is this all right?"

Seeing that he was hesitant, Ye Wanqing used her womanly skills and started to act coquettishly and cutely.

Lin Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "No!"

Ye Wanqing could no longer hold back, and stood up and said, "Why not? You can trust a person as stubborn as Una, but you don't trust me? My husband, you really make me sad!"

Seeing this girl still acting, Lin Yun raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Wanqing, actually, my husband has been troubled by something recently. Don't you want to share my worries? If this can be done, when you come back, we will prepare to have a child, how about it?"

Ye Wanqing looked suspicious: "Of course you can have a child! But what is it that bothers my husband? Don't try to fool me!"

"it is true!"

Afterwards, he recounted how Shi Bao had massacred 500,000 soldiers of the Chu family in Fulong Valley some time ago.

Ye Wanqing took a breath and said in surprise: "My husband, you are not kidding, are you? Since Shi Bao can do such a thing, he must be a dangerous person. You let me go, aren't you afraid of danger?"

Lin Yun joked, "Why are you pretending to be stupid? Do you really think your husband doesn't know that you and Shi Bao are childhood friends? Moreover, Ye Ruhui and Shi Bao's father Shi Sanyang are close friends. How dare he bully you? It's good enough that he is not bullied by you!"

Ye Wanqing's pretty face turned red, and she was embarrassed and at a loss.

"Ah? My husband knows everything?" "Nonsense! Seriously, I asked you to go to break up the combination of Shi Bao and Xiang Chong! I have worked so hard to train Shi Bao, a general who will be of great use in the future, and I will never let that old man Xiang Chong ruin him!"

Lin Yun was so smart that he understood what was going on after just a moment's thought.

With Shi Bao's limited intelligence, he would never be able to come up with a clever plan to frame the Qiyi Kingdom.

Although this was indeed a brilliant plan, Xiang Chong's background forced Lin Yun to be on guard.

Before Qi Rui became a fief, he had mentioned to him privately about winning over Xiang Chong.

But it turned out that Xiang Chong refused the Qi family's recruitment and instead turned to Shi Bao.

Lin Yun would definitely not let this old guy get his wish.

Letting Xiang Chong work for the Qi family will make it easier for Lin Yun to monitor his every move in the next step.

Ye Wanqing and Shi Bao are childhood friends. Not only can they achieve twice the result with half the effort by working together, but they can also serve as a warning to Shi Bao.

Moreover, it can also prevent Ye Wanqing and Una from getting together and making trouble, which is killing two birds with one stone.

Ye Wanqing sighed, "Alright! Since my husband has said so, I will respectfully obey your command! But, are you planning to punish Shi Bao?"

Lin Yun said playfully, "The punishment is just to give the Chu family an explanation! Your husband will not take it seriously! This time, the Second Madam will say that Shi Bao is not doing a good job, and deprive him of his position as the General of Pingxi. Then, she will privately make him the Minister of War and confer him the title of the Prince's Guardian!"

Ever since he became the regent, the position of Minister of War has been vacant. Lin Yun's current position already includes all affairs of the six ministries, so it is naturally impossible for him to manage the Ministry of War alone.

Therefore, giving this position to Shi Bao was not only a reward for his contribution in pacifying the Chu family's 500,000-strong army, but also a recognition of Shi Bao.

And if he is a little more like the Prince's Guardian, even more mysteries will be revealed.

In the future, when Lin Yun becomes emperor and one of his sons becomes the crown prince, Shi Bao will be the crown prince's assistant minister, which can be said to be a great honor.

Ye Wanqing nodded and said, "Okay! It's settled then! I'll set off tomorrow!"

But at this moment, an explosion suddenly occurred in the backyard.

"Boom!"

There was a loud noise, and both Lin Yun and Ye Wanqing were startled.

All the armed guards in the mansion rushed over to protect Lin Yun at the first opportunity.

Ye Wanqing looked panicked, thinking something big had happened.

Lin Yun frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

At this time, a guard in charge of guarding the backyard came over, but he was kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty, there was an explosion in the center of the back garden just now, but that is a restricted area and outsiders are not allowed to enter!"

Lin Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alright! Let's all go! Wanqing, go back and get ready. We'll be on our way tomorrow!"
