Chapter 870: Surprising Intelligence, Unexpected Gains

Lin Yun's anger instantly subsided, and he quickly picked her up and comforted her, "Okay! It was Brother Lin's fault just now. Brother Lin apologizes to you. Xiaoyu, be good and don't be angry!"

On the side, Yang Lin, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned.

He never dreamed that this heroic leader who was so decisive in killing and yet also able to plan and strategize could be so gentle to his younger sister.

He reminded Yang Xiaoyu before because he was afraid that she might say something wrong inadvertently and make Lin Yun unhappy.

In his heart, Lin Yun is no longer the young man who was devoted to starting a business, but a king who is about to become emperor.

Yang Xiaoyu snorted softly, and actually acted like a spoiled child, rubbing her snot on Lin Yun's collar.

"Hmph, you're just being mean to me. I'm rubbing my big snot on you! Hehehe!!"

Lin Yun smiled helplessly and said angrily: "How can you be so bad, little devil? Look, Brother Lin will teach you a lesson!"

As he said that, he deliberately let go of his hand. Yang Xiaoyu laughed like a silver bell, ran out in a flash, and made faces at Lin Yun.

"Tsk, I can't catch it! Brother Lin, you are so stupid! Lululu..."

Lin Yun stood at the door of the study, pinching his waist and said, "Ghost girl, find a place to hide now. If Brother Lin can't find you later, I will grant you a wish. How about that?"

Yang Xiaoyu's eyes lit up: "Is this true? Brother Lin wouldn't lie, right?"

"No! If you don't believe me, you can try it!"

"Okay! It's a deal then! I'm the best at hide and seek!"

Having said that, she turned and ran away.

The Prince Yun’s Mansion is very large, so large that even someone who is not familiar with it might get lost. Moreover, there is a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps, so no matter where Yang Xiaoyu hides, he will be fine.

At this time, Lin Yun turned around and looked at Yang Lin who was still kneeling on the ground, and sighed: "Commander Yang, please stand up! Are you still waiting for me to help you up?"

Yang Lin then stood up. He was feeling quite complicated.

The affection that Lin Yun showed for his little sister was beyond his understanding.

"Master Fourteen, you are not... "

Lin Yun knew what he meant and rolled his eyes, "What are you thinking? This girl is not yet an adult, and I am not interested in children! I like this girl as much as you, my brother! So, Commander Yang, don't worry!"

Yang Lin then secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that when Lin Yun became emperor in the future, he would definitely have countless concubines in his harem, so he didn't want his little sister to become a canary that lost her freedom.

"Fourteenth Master, calm down! I shouldn't force some officialdom concepts into Xiaoyu!"

Lin Yun's eyes were slightly dazed. In fact, the way he doted on Yang Xiaoyu just now was also a kind of remembrance of the past.

At that time, he had everything except power.

But now that he has gained imperial power, he has lost a lot.

Although he has not yet become emperor, he already feels that it is lonely at the top.

His former subordinates all respected and feared him, Ma Ji and Wang Chuanzhong being examples, and Zheng Youli was also like this.

Originally, Lin Yun had always thought that besides being superiors and subordinates, he and Yang Lin were also friends in private, after all, there was also the relationship with Yang Xiaoyu.

But when he heard what Yang Lin said when he scolded Yang Xiaoyu just now, Lin Yun finally realized that without realizing it, he had become the person that everyone feared.

"Hey, it's over! You didn't do anything wrong. I just lost control! By the way, I asked you to conduct an in-depth investigation in Hanzhong County. Did you get any results?"

Yang Lin clasped his fists and said, "Everything has been found out! This old guy, Han Wang Guan Haiyue, is a jack of all trades. Even Li Jing was deceived. He openly claimed to be a die-hard loyalist of the Li family. Over the years, he has obtained countless resources from the Li family to develop his power. He secretly colluded with various vassal kings of different surnames in an attempt to check and balance the court!"

Lin Yun snorted angrily: "As cunning as a fox!"

"Fourteenth Master, please be patient. I haven't finished reporting yet! The most powerful thing about Guan Haiyue is that he has clung to the Tong family. In Kuicheng, Hanzhong County, I saw with my own eyes that they actually have a production line for making bamboo guns and ammunition!"

"Add to that the huge wealth donated by the Tong family, and their power cannot be underestimated! Moreover, from all indications, the Daqian Dynasty next door has secretly stationed 100,000 troops in Yingzi Mountain in Hanzhong County! The spies I sent out cannot get close to Yingzi Mountain's sphere of influence, so they are still unclear about the situation inside!"

Hearing this, Lin Yun was furious and stared at the table.

Although he didn't say anything, Yang Lin was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe.

He whispered, "Fourteenth Master, calm down! Although the King of Han is very powerful, I can see that their military production line is not large. As long as we send troops quickly and don't give them time to prepare, everything will still be in time!"

Lin Yun smiled sinisterly: "I am not angry about the so-called military production line, but because Guan Haiyue let a wolf into the house! However, this kind of battle is interesting! I must teach them an unforgettable lesson!"

He no longer cared about the mere bamboo gun.

No one knew the performance of the bamboo tube gun better than him. Although the striking range was large enough, the range was too short and it was troublesome to replace the ammunition.

The most important thing is that its service life is not long. Generally, a bamboo tube gun can only fire dozens of shots at most. It was later that Yang Tiexin made many improvements and changed the bamboo tube into fine iron casting.

Therefore, if you want to unleash the power of the bamboo tube gun, you need to deploy your troops.

After the ten thunder bomb cannons are officially put into service, they will launch a few rounds of shelling before the war, and then use assault elite heavy firepower to strike. After these two rounds, no matter how many troops the enemy has, they will basically be crippled.

Now is the time to take advantage of the bamboo gun.

Yang Lin didn't know about the Thunder Artillery yet, so he clasped his fists and said, "Please give the order, Fourteenth Master. The Jinyiwei is willing to go deep behind the enemy lines and assassinate important figures of the other side!"

Lin Yun shook his head slowly: "No need! When I established the Jinyiwei, although I asked you to assassinate, that was a means for peacetime! Once we enter a war period, the Jinyiwei will only have one role, which is to collect intelligence! Commander Yang, you did a good job this time, I will give you a credit! Tell the people lurking in Hanzhong County to protect themselves and wait for my next order!"

"But…"

“No buts! Even if we are going deep behind enemy lines to carry out assassinations, we have the explosive assault troops under King Jiangxia’s command! You all have to do your job and don’t mess around!”

"I obey your command! Oh, there is one last thing! The spy I arranged in Hanzhong County intercepted a secret letter sent from the capital some time ago. It is about the secret of the disappearance of the late Queen Tong Xiangrou! Please take a look, Fourteenth Master!"

As he said this, he handed over the secret letter with both hands.

Lin Yun's eyes showed joy. He had met Tong Mingchang before. Although he learned that Tong Xiangrou was secretly escorted to the Daqian Dynasty, he was very angry with this old guy.
