"Stop talking nonsense!"
After being shocked, Lin Yaoguang immediately began to refute.
When he heard that Gong Chengyin was killed, Lin Yaoguang began to feel scared.
Because his plan was simple: find Cheng Xuan, use the help of Taoist warriors to infiltrate the hunting party, then seize the opportunity to kill Lin Che, and ultimately frame the Yanyun Kingdom delegation.
Lin Che's identity was sensitive. If Lin Che was killed, the empress would definitely vent her anger on the delegation.
At this time, the empress would also think of the importance of Zhenguo Mansion. After all, if any action was to be taken against Yanyun Kingdom, the Zhenyuan Army of Zhenguo Mansion would be the main force.
Lin Yaoguang's plan can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
But Lin Yaoguang never expected that Gong Chengyin would be the one who died in the end.
The result is very different.
If these little tricks of his were uncovered, he would definitely be implicated. He could only pray that Lin Che didn't see through the pros and cons and didn't implicate him.
However, God did not hear Lin Yaoguang's prayers. Lin Che came back and pointed out in public that this was related to him.
How could Lin Yaoguang not panic?
"Lin Che, you've disliked me for a long time. Last time I went to your mansion to look for you, I was stopped by your guards. At that time, you wanted to attack me. Now, you dare to slander me with such a crime!"
"Hmph. If I'm guessing correctly, you'll definitely say that I secretly sent some of the warriors inside to kill you. Right? You're truly vicious! What evidence do you have?"
Lin Yaoguang was extremely furious and tried hard to distance himself from the matter.
Lin Che gave him a cold look. "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself! Lin Yaoguang, don't you know what you've done? Taoist warriors haven't died out yet. Can they protect you like this?"
“That’s enough!”
A cold roar came from Chi Feiwan's mouth.
Her eyes were almost spitting fire. If there were no other people present, Chi Feiwan would have pounced on Lin Che and torn her to pieces.
She pointed at the head covered with white cloth beside her and shouted:
"Why did you kill the Sixteenth Prince? Why?"
"No matter what your reasons are, my Yanyun Nation will never give up!"
Lin Che did not answer her. She knew very well that the only one who could save his life now was Jiang Li.
He saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I have something very important to report to you in private."
Chi Feiwan said sternly, "You're so secretive! Is there something you can't tell others?"
Jiang Li also looked solemn and asked, "Marquis Jing'an, was it you who killed the Duke Chengyin of Yanyun State?"
"Yes!" Lin Che responded directly without dodging or avoiding.
Crash!
Everyone was in an uproar. They had never expected that Lin Che would dare to admit it in public.
That's killing a prince!
Even if Lin Che claimed that he and the Second Prince were like brothers and that he wanted to avenge him, it wouldn't make sense. After all, this was a matter of state.
Even if Gong Chengyin or Chi Feiwan was to be killed, it was Jiang Li who issued the order and declared war on the Yanyun Kingdom.
But that was definitely not the case. Lin Che was so passionate that he would kill without hesitation.
"Evil creature!! You really killed Prince Yanyun."
Lin Pojun clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Your Majesty—the country has its own laws. Lin Che is so disregarding the law that he has put Dagan in an unjust situation. He deserves to be killed!!"
Wen Hong immediately stepped forward and said, "Why are you so anxious to execute him? Are you afraid that Lin Che will say something harmful to your eldest son?"
"Duke Wei is wrong!"
Mo Zhaoxue, who had been hiding among the Mo family disciples, finally couldn't help but come out.
In such hunting occasions, everyone uses Mohist bows and crossbows, so she, a young lady from the Mohist school, is naturally qualified to participate.
It's just that she had always been reluctant to show up before.
Mo Zhaoxue, dressed like a Mo family disciple with a ponytail, said:
"The Duke of Zhenguo's actions are a betrayal of one's own family. Since Lin Che murdered the Prince of Yanyun for no reason, we can no longer turn a blind eye. We can tolerate him, but the laws of this country cannot!"
"Your Majesty, we, Dagan, have always been known as a nation of propriety. If a prince's envoy is killed and we don't give an explanation, who among the neighboring countries will trust us in the future?"
After hearing this, many ministers nodded in agreement.
Although some court officials thought that Lin Che's killing was satisfying, they did not dare to come out to support him.
"His Majesty!"
Lin Che suddenly activated his true energy and shouted loudly, forcibly silencing the quarreling crowd.
He knew very well that Jiang Li was not speaking at the moment because he was weighing the pros and cons.
You must speak up now, otherwise it will be too late.
"Your Majesty, I do have something extremely important to report to you privately. It won't take you long. If Your Majesty thinks I'm talking nonsense, I will be willing to accept the punishment of the law!"
Jiang Li looked at Lin Che deeply, then closed his bright eyes gently, and opened them again after a few seconds.
"Come with me!"
After Jiang Li finished speaking, he turned and left.
Lin Che didn't say much and followed decisively.
All the court officials looked on, and without an imperial decree, they did not dare to follow.
Jiang Li didn't walk very fast, and didn't use any true energy at all, just like an ordinary person who had never practiced.
Lin Che followed behind and became a little anxious. Why was Jiang Li walking so slowly?
The two of them walked back from Lushiping, step by step from the foot of the mountain to the top. Under the gaze of everyone, they finally reached the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain, the mountain wind whistled past.
The wind blew Jiang Li's three thousand black hair, she looked forward and whispered:
