Volume 1, Chapter 128: Lin An's surrender is not a dead end.
Ye Tingmu sighed, but Lin An suddenly knelt down, moved his knees back a few steps, and then crawled.
"I have heard about Mr. Ye's battle on Shangyun a long time ago. Yesterday, I talked with Patriarch Dongfang at Banyueju. I think it was Patriarch Dongfang who told Mr. Ye about my father's affairs. I dare to ask for Mr. Ye's protection."
Seeing him like this, Ye Tingmu's eyebrows were furious, and he asked sternly: "You followed me?"
Lin An said: "Yes, but Lin An has no intention of offending you."
Ye Tingmu looked at Lin An in front of him and thought, forget it, just follow him. It seemed that the Northern Gangster King must have sent someone to follow him. No wonder this guy was so cautious and made an appointment to talk in a secret room.
Since even he knew to follow me, how could the Northern Maniac King be a fool?
In this case, it seemed that he was really in danger. Even if he wanted to leave this northern gang, they would not let him. He couldn't help feeling annoyed when thinking about this.
"Lin An, since you know about Shangyun, you must also know that I can't even beat that extraordinary realm, let alone the saint like the Northern Maniac King. Now I can't even protect myself, how can I protect you?"
He was telling the truth, and after knowing the truth, he started to address Master Lin as Lin An.
Lin An straightened his body and said, "Mr. Ye is right. However, as long as Mr. Ye does not leave Beimang City, the Beimang King will not dare to take action."
The corners of Ye Tingmu's mouth slightly raised, with a bitter smile on his face.
"He dared to massacre the whole village back then, so why doesn't he dare to kill me in this northern gang now?"
"Things are different now because of Mr. Ye's connection to the Dongfang family. Furthermore, if I'm correct, Patriarch Dongfang already knows your brother is the Fourth Prince. But Patriarch Dongfang asked you to find my father, which undoubtedly reveals his determination to protect you, or rather, the Fourth Prince. King Beiman will naturally not act rashly unless it's absolutely necessary."
Ye Tingmu became interested and asked with his head tilted, "Oh... How do you know? This Dongfang Patriarch wants to protect me."
Lin An chuckled, but his eyes were fixed on the long sword at Ye Tingmu's waist.
"The sword on Mr. Ye's waist can turn into thunder."
Ye Tingmu was shocked. This Lin An had no cultivation, but he could recognize Hua Lei?
"Yes, but what does this prove?"
"Mr. Ye, you don't know that Hualei is the ancestral sword of the Dongfang family, also known as the Sword of Protection. Now that the Dongfang Patriarch has given you this sword, he is telling the Northern Maniac King that you have been chosen by him and are standing on the side of the Dongfang family."
Ye Tingmu subconsciously looked at the Hualei sword in his hand. This sword was indeed extraordinary, but it wasn't necessarily just like that.
Take side?
Which team are you on?
In his subconscious, he would rather believe that it was the Eastern Ancestor who wanted to recruit him.
After all, he is famous and talented.
Seeing Ye Tingmu so confused, Lin An quickly said, "Mr. Ye is unaware of the current situation in Kyushu, so naturally he is confused. However, I, Lin, am fully aware of the affairs of the world. His Majesty is in poor health and may not live for many years. The power struggle between the First and Third Princes is intensifying."
"This time the Third Prince went to Beimang to form a marriage alliance with Dongfang Qingzhu, just to gain the support of the Dongfang family. This way he can completely control the land of a state, and have another saint behind him."
Ye Tingmu touched his chin, his eyes full of thought.
"Then what?"
"Therefore, the current King of Beimang will definitely not offend the Dongfang family, let alone conflict with them. You must know that the world's number one cavalry is in the hands of Dongfang Qinghu. As long as Mr. Ye does not leave Beimang, I guarantee that Mr. Ye will be safe."
What he said was powerful and logical.
Although Ye Tingmu still doesn't understand the situation in Jiuzhou.
However, with his intelligence, he was naturally able to sort out some information.
To put it simply, the current emperor is about to die.
His prince is trying to seize power.
However, the throne that should have been inherited by the third prince was coveted by the eldest prince. It seemed that the eldest prince had considerable power.
At least Situ Feng can't handle it, and he needs the support of the Dongfang family to be safe.
Now that Feng He has appeared and the Eastern Patriarch has given him a sword, no matter what the reason is, the Northern Maniac King will not openly attack Ye Tingmu and the others.
Otherwise it would be a slap in the face of the Dongfang family, and then no matter whether Feng He is dead or alive, the Dongfang family will not cooperate with him.
He would have cut off his retreat route, and would still be swallowed up by the eldest prince in the end.
That's what I mean.
Ye Tingmu couldn't help but look at Lin An. Although this man had no cultivation, he was definitely a good military strategist.
From meeting a few people yesterday, to the death of my father, to seeing myself today.
Not only did he successfully remove him from himself, but he was also able to infer so many things.
Now he has found a way out for himself.
He knew that with the character of the Northern Maniac King, now that his father was dead, he himself would probably not live long.
So, all this was arranged.
Let Ye Tingmu see his knowledge.
Or in other words, tell Ye Tingmu that I can be useful to you.
As he wished, Ye Tingmu did become interested in him.
It really works.
Both sides have a common enemy, but Ye Tingmu understands that people who are too smart are difficult to control and will fail if you are not careful.
Still needs to be knocked.
Ye Tingmu stood up.
He glared at her with a cold tone.
"Lin An, I can take you with me, but it's not because I need you. I just want to give you a chance to redeem your father's sins, but..." Having said this, he drew his sword.
rub.....
A flash of white light.
With a "bang...", the wooden table in front of me broke into pieces.
The sword even easily created a gap on the wall.
There was a sharp coldness in his eyes as he continued, "If I find out that you have other intentions one day, I will do this."
Lin An was shocked and looked surprised.
The power of the sword almost brushed his forehead.
At this moment, he was sweating profusely.
Crawl immediately.
"Lin An will definitely not let Mr. Ye down. He will devote all his life's knowledge to assisting the Fourth Prince in ascending to the throne."
Seeing him like this, Ye Tingmu knew that his goal had been achieved, so he put the sword back to his waist.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Mr. Ye."
Ye Tingmu patted his shoulder.
He instructed: "Lin An, please don't tell my second brother about this matter yet, okay?"
A strange look flashed in Lin An's eyes, and then he said respectfully: "Don't worry, Mr. Ye, I understand."
Ye Tingmu nodded with satisfaction. It was indeed much easier to talk to smart people.
"Let's go. We've been delayed long enough. We can talk about other things when we have time."
Having said that, he walked out.
When all the truth comes to light, what people feel is no longer confusion, but worry.
Then we need to solve the current dilemma.
And all this really requires someone like Lin An. After all, he doesn't know much about the affairs of Jiuzhou.
But the current situation is not one that Ye Tingmu can retreat if he wants to.
The royal family is fighting for power. To take a step back, there is no vast ocean, nor sky, but only hell and abyss.
Suspicion is ingrained in them, and they won't feel at ease unless you die.
Now that he had Dahei, if Dongfang Shuo was useful as Lin An said, he could indeed ensure that he would be worry-free. However, the waves on his second brother were probably much greater than he had imagined.
It seems that I have to go to Banyueju again.
He couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile on his lips. He originally thought that he was diving into the Dongfang family's water, but now it seems that he is the one who needs to drag the Dongfang family into the water.
But since this concerns my second brother, I have no choice but to retreat.
It’s just a pity that this happened too early.
Is this fate? Everything seems to have been arranged.
Forget it, why think about him, if I had known earlier...if I had known earlier...
There is no way we can know so much in advance. There are thousands of roads in this world, but there is no turning back.
Instead of thinking about other things, it’s better to think about how to deal with it in the future.
