Chapter 928: Seeing Through the Plot, Daqian Imperial Master

At this time, a frail middle-aged man with a goatee came over. He was wearing a white gown and holding a feather fan, and he had a somewhat immortal temperament.

This person was none other than Lu Zongqing's strategist, named Tang Jingde, whose ancestor was one of the twelve heroes of the Daqian Dynasty.

He is a typical descendant of a famous family. It is precisely because of his background that he can gain the trust of the suspicious Lu Zongqing.

The two are both teachers and friends, and their relationship is very close.

"My Lord, what's going on?"

As Lu Zongqing's strategist and military advisor, Tang Jingde rushed over as soon as he heard that Lu Zongqing had suddenly led two thousand elite troops out in person.

"Haha! Mr. Tang, please take a seat! This general wants to tell you good news!"

Afterwards, he told Li Mu about his surrender and the news that he had sent ten carts of arms.

Tang Jingde did not feel happy, but frowned.

"Your Majesty, do you think this is a good thing?"

"Is not it?"

"How can this be considered a good thing? This is clearly a vicious plot set up by Lin Yun!"

Lu Zongqing's expression changed slightly: "Oh? Can Mr. Tang explain it in detail?"

"Hey, my prince, how can you be so confused! Everyone in the world knows what kind of character Lin Yun has! How could he let the Eighth Sage King go right under his nose? And how could he successfully bring out ten carts of ammunition?"

"We are in a state of war now! Not peacetime. Your Highness, don't you think there is something fishy going on here?"

Lu Zongqing nodded: "Of course, this general has noticed something strange! But the thousand men that Li Mu brought with him have been killed by this general, and even he himself has been placed under house arrest! Could it be that a batch of arms sent for free is not good news?"

"Well, the more arms the better! What I mean is that for the sake of safety, this Li Mu cannot be kept! Your Majesty, either order him to be beheaded and sent back to Lin Yun! Or leave the arms behind and send someone to send Li Mu back to Jincheng!"

Tang Jingde was very smart. Even though he could not guess Lin Yun's true intention, he was certain that Li Mu's sudden surrender must be a conspiracy.

As long as they don't accept the challenge, they will never be fooled, and will not give Lin Yun any opportunity to take advantage of.

Lu Zongqing frowned and said, "Mr. Tang, you are wrong! This general can keep Li Mu in prison, but there is no reason to let him go! There is no need to kill him! Don't forget, his last name is Li, and he has an irreconcilable feud with Lin Yun! Moreover, as a minister of the Military Affairs Department of the Great Duan Dynasty, he must know a lot of core secrets, which are the information we lack the most!"

"Your Majesty, why don't you understand my thoughts! This Li Mu is the nail planted by Lin Yun in our ranks! This is not a conspiracy, but an open conspiracy! It is also the most powerful and difficult trick! This trick has been used by our Daqian for hundreds of years! So you must not be fooled!"

Previously, Lin Yun was impressed by how powerful the person who set up the fishing net strategy was. In fact, it was Tang Jingde’s grandfather Tang Long.

Tang Long was a strategist of the same era as Wei Feng, a monumental figure!

The geopolitical layout of the Daqian Dynasty for the past two hundred years was the work of Tang Long. He was also the founder of the National Academy of the Daqian Dynasty. The Daqian National Master rumored by the outside world was exactly him.

Because of this, when Tang Jingde learned that Li Mu was coming to surrender, he instantly saw the danger.

Lu Zongqing said in a deep voice: "This general has made up his mind! This Li Mu is still very useful, he must not be killed, let alone sent back! As for Mr. Tang, he has seen through Lin Yun's tricks, so he must be able to prevent it before it happens, right?"

Tang Jingde sighed, and could only stand up reluctantly, clasping his fists and bowing: "I obey your command!!"

If Li Mu was present and heard this conversation between the two of them, even if he was very scheming, he would probably be scared to death. He hadn't said anything yet, let alone done anything, but Tang Jingde had anticipated everything, as if he was there listening in when Lin Yun was planning the infiltration plan.

Ten days passed in a flash.

Lin Yun has led his ministers back to the capital safely.

The imperial court's Ministry of Works, under the personal supervision of Yang Tiexin and Zhao Ji, finally mass-produced one hundred thunder bomb cannons.

Since he had manufactured ten cannons before, Yang Tiexin had accumulated rich practical experience and quickly expanded the scale, waiting for Lin Yun to give the order for mass production.

It was because he put his official duties first that he was able to complete the task so quickly.

After Lin Yun's inspection, these one hundred sky-blasting cannons were sent to the borders of Fengyang County and Chujiang County overnight.

Ever since the 30,000 elite troops of the Shenji Camp led by Shi Bao were annihilated, Lin Yun had to redeploy troops within the Lin family army and asked Lin Fuling to transfer one-third of his troops to be stationed in Chujiang County.

To prevent the Panda royal court from becoming desperate.

The Zhennan Pass Fortress has now entered the combat readiness stage, but countless mines have already been placed in front of the position, so the real danger lies in the Chujiang County frontier fortress.

After the morning court session, Lin Yun finished reviewing the pile of memorials in the imperial study, and then hurried to the Grand Council.

Ever since Zhao Ji was asked to deliver a letter to Yang Lin of the Grand Marshal's Mansion last time, Yang Lin personally led a group of Jinyiwei to secretly sneak into the Panda Royal Court.

Originally, Lin Yun said that Yang Lin didn't have to carry out the mission personally.

But this time the situation was urgent. Una and Ye Wanqing were trapped in the Holy Capital of Panda Royal Court. Lin Yun was really worried and could only let Yang Lin take action personally so that he could feel at ease.

Moreover, after the battle of Wa Lian Village, Shi Bao's whereabouts were unknown, and Lin Yun was somewhat worried.

Lin Yun had an unshirkable responsibility for Shi Bao's disastrous defeat this time.

Therefore, if the situation permits, Yang Lin will also secretly search for Shi Bao's whereabouts in the Panda Royal Court.

At this moment, the Military Affairs Council was in a state of chaos.

Fu Lin'an and Ye Ruhui had different political views.

Fu Lin'an hopes to stabilize the current situation and avoid war if possible. After all, he has not yet figured out the bottom line of the Panda royal court.

But Ye Ruhui couldn't bear it. His second daughter's life or death was uncertain, and he really couldn't calm down.

If anything happens to his second daughter, or if she dies unfortunately, the foundation of the Ye family will be unstable.

Without the bond of Ye Wanqing, the relationship between the Ye family and Lin Yun became distant.

"Ye Ruhui, you'd better consider the overall situation! The court suffered heavy losses this time. Who among the families of the fallen soldiers doesn't want to avenge their sons or men? Don't think that only your Ye family has paid the price!"

Ye Ruhui was furious: "Bah! Fu Lin'an, what qualifications do you have to act noble in front of this old man? If it was your son Fu Tianchen who was detained, I don't believe you can still be so calm!"

Fu Lin'an was about to retort when he suddenly noticed a dark figure standing under the curtain outside the door. Thinking back to Lin Yun's habit of eavesdropping, he immediately calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Humph, my Fu family did make mistakes in the past, but the current emperor is a wise ruler. If it can bring back the prosperity of my Great Duan Dynasty, let alone sacrificing Tianchen, even if it means sacrificing my own life, I will not refuse!"
