Chapter 888 Preparing to Attack the City
Qi Rui smiled bitterly and was about to agree when a loud shout suddenly came from outside the door.

"Oona, you must not be rude to King Jiangxia! If you are released, you will be lawless!"

Qi Rui and Xiang Chong's eyes lit up and they immediately went out to greet him.

Lin Yun came over with the Eighth Wise King of Fulin'an.

Following behind him was a group of civil and military officials, all of whom were the confidants of Fulin'an and the Eight Wise Kings.

Qi Rui and Xiang Chong knelt on one knee, clasped their fists and shouted, "Welcome the Regent!"

Lin Yun smiled and said, "Get up! You two have worked hard during this period! This time, I came here first to visit you, and second to give you a great gift!"

The two of them smiled at each other and began to look forward to it secretly.

Qi Rui bowed and stepped aside, holding out his hand and saying, "Your Majesty the Regent is tired from the journey, please come into the living room and rest!"

Lin Yun nodded, then led everyone into the living room.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw that Una was like a mouse seeing a cat. She no longer had the arrogant look she had just shown. She threw her machete, which was as tall as a person, directly into the corner, and immediately stepped forward to hold Lin Yun's arm, saying coquettishly: "Husband, why didn't you say hello before you came? I was not mentally prepared at all!"

Qi Rui and Xiang Chong both smiled bitterly in their hearts. This Third Madam was truly an extraordinary woman. She looked as if she wanted to eat people just now and was more manly than men. But as soon as she saw Lin Yun, she immediately turned back into the delicate and weak woman she was.

Lin Yun poked her forehead with his finger and scolded her with a smile: "You are such a disobedient girl! What did you promise your husband and the first lady?"

"Oh, my husband, there are so many people here! Please give me some face!"

When everyone heard her say this, they all burst into laughter.

Lin Yun shook his head helplessly and sat down in the main seat.

Everyone took their seats, and when they saw the sand table split in half and the big hole on the ground, they all sighed inwardly at how terrifying the Third Lady was.

Lin Yun asked: "Qi Rui, what happened just now that made this girl so angry?"

Qi Rui sighed and repeated what had just happened.

Lin Yun couldn't help but frown.

Una waved her hands and explained: "My husband, please don't be angry. I promise I won't lose my temper again..."

But Lin Yun ignored her and murmured, "Liu Cheng..."

Qi Rui and Xiang Chong looked at each other and whispered, "Regent, Liucheng is our gateway to Fufeng County! Since Guan Haiyue was able to suddenly occupy Liucheng, the signal he sent out is worth pondering!"

Xiang Chong clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, based on this incident, I have made two predictions! The first is that the King of Zhao has made a mistake! It is very likely that he could not withstand Guan Haiyue's coercion and inducement, so he suddenly changed sides!"

"The second is that Guan Haiyue launched a surprise attack, catching King Zhao off guard, which led to the loss of some cities, and Liucheng was one of them!"

Lin Yun listened to his analysis and nodded, "The King of Zhao has written to me many times recently, so it is impossible for him to turn against me! There is only one possibility, that is, Guan Haiyue has already taken action against the King of Zhao!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present put on a solemn expression.

If Fufeng County is lost, the next battlefield will inevitably be Jiangxia County.

This is unacceptable to them.

Qi Rui, in particular, would not accept the battlefield being set up in his own fiefdom.

If we get beaten to pieces, even if we win in the end, it will be meaningless.

At this time, Li Mu clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops personally and win this first victory!"

Qi Rui snorted coldly: "Eighth Prince, this is my territory. When will it be your turn as an outsider to lead the troops? Even if it is the first victory, it must be won by my people!" Wu Na stood up and said angrily: "Stop arguing! Husband, please be fair. Do you agree to let me fight?"

Lin Yun watched them bickering over who would fight the first battle, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Alright! Stop arguing! Since I'm here in person, I'll fight this first battle! It's a good opportunity to open the eyes of all you self-righteous guys!"

Qi Rui's eyes lit up: "My Lord, what is the great gift you just mentioned?"

Fu Linan smiled and said, "King Qi, don't be curious. This is a powerful weapon that will definitely shock you! Just wait and see. Once this powerful weapon is out, we can capture Liucheng in less than half an hour!"

After hearing what he said, Qi Rui and Xiang Chong became even more curious.

They have never seen the power of the thunder bomb cannon.

Apart from Lin Yun, only Fu Lin'an had the honor of seeing it.

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "Qi Rui!"

"The official is here..."

"Quickly mobilize 10,000 elite troops and prepare to attack the city!"

"Yes!" Qi Rui just agreed, then realized something was wrong, looked up at him, and said: "Prince Regent, you don't know that the King of Han is also equipped with bamboo guns as the main munitions. Isn't 10,000 people a little too few?"

Fu Linan said, "When you see the power of the thunder bomb later, you won't feel that there are not enough people! Go and make arrangements!"

After all, Fu Lin'an was an old minister of the same generation as Qi Changyun, so Qi Rui naturally did not dare to refute him and still had a certain respect for him.

Lin Yun continued, "Fu Lin'an, arrange for someone to take ten Thunderbolt cannons to the battlefield! We need to take them out for a walk! Remember, we must bring a lot of shells. In this first battle, even if we have to raze Liucheng to the ground, we must show the momentum of our Great Duan Dynasty!"

"Subordinate to obey!"

Afterwards, Qi Rui and Fu Lin'an got up and left.

At this time, Xiang Chong asked curiously: "Your Majesty, is this secret weapon really as powerful as you said? Do you want me to secretly mobilize some troops for support?"

Lin Yun said unhappily, "If the king says no, then no! Don't you understand, Xiang Chong?"

Xiang Chong quickly knelt on the ground with a look of trepidation.

"I know I was wrong!"

After not seeing each other for a while, he found that the Regent's power was growing, which made Xiang Chong feel unprecedented pressure.

Lin Yun's expression eased a little, and he realized that he shouldn't have lost his temper just now. He stood up and said, "Mr. Xiang, please go out with me!"

"Yes!!"

Lin Yun walked out of the reception room first, and Xiang Chong followed carefully behind him. The two of them strolled all the way to a pavilion.

Xiang Chong stepped forward quickly, cleaned the stone chair with his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, please sit down!"

Lin Yun happily sat down, hugged his shoulders and said, "Mr. Xiang must be blaming me for being unreasonable, right?"

Xiang Chong quickly shook his head and said, "How dare I! Your Majesty, please don't think of me like that!"

"Humph! If it's not true, then it's strange! Do you know why I transferred you to Qi Rui's command?"

Xiang Chong knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "I know! It's because I helped General Shi to frame the Qiayi Kingdom..."
