The secret guards led by Jiang Ling are directly under the lord and are similar to Gu Xing's secret guards.
The grudge between Jiang Ling and Lin Yu is a long story.
Jiang Ling had never been optimistic about Jiang Jie since he was a child, but as a smart man, Jiang Ling did not place a bet in advance, but chose the path of a secret guard.
After becoming the commander-in-chief of the Dark Guards, he received a long-term task from the chief of the Dark Guards to protect Jiang Jie, and then began to protect Jiang Jie who was bullied everywhere.
To be honest, he was not optimistic about Jiang Jie.
There was even a situation where Jiang Jie and Lin Yu were in danger, and Jiang Ling only discovered the problem later and rushed to rescue them.
This time, Jiang Jie and Lin Yu turned a disaster into a blessing and obtained the Tiandao Mercenary System. Jiang Jie and Lin Yu began to fight back.
The first target of counterattack was him, the leader of the secret guards who was not serious about protecting Jiang Jie.
That time, Jiang Ling almost lost his life! Because of this, the two of them had a life-and-death feud!
He was able to get through it by mobilizing many connections and paying a heavy price.
Because of this incident, Jiang Ling turned a disaster into a blessing and came into the sight of the chief of the secret guards. Later, he became one of the leaders.
After Jiang Jie succeeded to the throne, the chief leader stepped down. According to tradition, Jiang Jie chose a chief leader from among their leaders.
As an acquaintance, Jiang Ling naturally received preferential treatment and was chosen by Jiang Jie to become the new chief of the secret guards.
Then Jiang Ling kept looking for opportunities to take revenge on Lin Yu!
However, there were few opportunities, and Jiang Jie trusted Lin Yu very much, so he had no chance at all.
Later, Jiang Jie became wary of Lin Yu, and Jiang Ling immediately stepped in and became the new military advisor and the person Jiang Jie trusted the most.
Lin Yu may not know the existence of his enemy Jiang Ling until now.
The defeat was inexplicable.
In Lin Yu's opinion, Jiang Ling might be a cannon fodder and should have died long ago.
I never took it to heart.
However, this existence has put Lin Yu, and even his father and the Lin family, into a desperate situation!
The secret guards who have the lord's 100% trust represent the lord's will.
Specialized in doing those shady jobs for the lord.
The leaders are all from the Jiang family.
Every time the lord changes, the chief leader must be changed and swear allegiance.
They, the secret guards, belong to the lord's mansion, the lord, and the head of the Jiang family.
However, they were not led by anyone other than the lord. Some young nobles were even unaware of the existence of the secret guards.
Including the original Lin Yu!
He always thought that Jiang Ling was just an ordinary guard commander, somewhat incompetent, who came to rescue the emperor too late and became the punching bag of the two frightened people.
Later, the commander of the guards did not show up again, and Lin Yu thought that he had been transferred to another place!
Unexpectedly, he has always been by Jiang Jie's side and has never left!
Even because of the Gu family and their group, they became wary of him and replaced him to become the most trusted person!
A dark and cunning man who has a life-and-death feud with him, who commands secret guards, monitors and assassinates nobles on a daily basis, a pervert with great power!
Lin Yu was targeted by a poisonous snake without knowing it. The snake slowly approached him and killed him with one blow!
…
The Sun Principality, the Sun Lord, he is different from Jiang Jie, he has been the lord for more than ten years.
He is of the same generation as Jiang Jie's father.
He has very traditional ideas and was not alert to Jiang Jie's martial arts performance. Instead, he thought it was very normal!
Although there had been a rebellion, Lord Sun still felt that the Sun army was very powerful and the Jiang Principality was nothing to be afraid of!
The purpose of the martial arts show between the Sun and Jiang families was that the Jiang family took the opportunity to eliminate the restless elements within the family, while the Sun family did it simply to improve the combat effectiveness of the army!
The lords of the Sun family throughout the generations were all typical soldiers, and often regarded themselves as marshals!
The Sun family's territory is like a large military camp, and everyone is serving the army.
After the disaster of corpse demons, the situation became even more serious.
There was already a shortage of supplies, but Lord Sun was unwilling to compromise his army, so he had no choice but to compromise the nobles and civilians!
That’s why there was a rebellion some time ago. This was a typical backlash under high-pressure policies.
Lord Sun also needed this martial arts performance. For this performance, Jiang paid a huge price before getting Sun to agree.
The price paid by Jiang greatly alleviated Sun's predicament, so Sun had to agree to the martial arts performance proposed by Jiang!
In addition, Lord Sun also needs to divert the conflicts and attention within the territory.
This martial arts performance is also necessary!
Therefore, this ridiculous martial arts performance is imperative!
…
Lin Yu received the news that the martial arts performance was about to begin. His father Lin had already set off with an army composed of nobles.
Lin Yu was punished by Jiang Jie and stayed at home, and no one participated in the martial arts performance!
However, he was well-informed. One reason was that the other three Tiandao mercenaries would pass on this news to him from time to time.
Another thing is that before leaving, Lin's father handed over the family's intelligence network to him.
Lin Yu is now the acting head of the family and possesses the highest power in the Lin family!
Looking at this information, Lin Yu understood before the fight started that in this martial arts exercise, the Jiang family would win and the Sun family would lose!
"With deliberate planning and unintentional tactics, and the strong attacking the weak, how could the Jiang family not win? How could the Sun family win?"
"It's just that victory or defeat is easy to determine, but life or death is hard to predict!"
Lin Yu knew Jiang Jie's plan and wanted to swallow up the Sun family in one fell swoop, but, after all, that was an old lord family!
Even if it has declined a little due to the disaster of corpse demons, it is not something they can swallow up in one bite!
If Sun counterattacks before his death, the consequences will be unimaginable!
No matter how anxious Lin Yu was, it was useless. He could only sit on the lake island, in the rear, and worry about what was happening. There was nothing he could do!
…
On the battlefield, Father Lin sighed sadly, "I never thought I'd have the chance to participate in the Jiang-Sun martial arts competition again in my lifetime! My father died in the last competition!"
"Alas, our family is the same! The Sun family and we have been enemies for thousands of years! I wish I could exterminate their entire clan!"
"There will be a chance. I believe victory will belong to our Jiang family!" Jiang Jie was patrolling the camp and heard the casual conversation between Lin's father and the nobles, so he stepped forward and said.
"Lord!"
Father Lin and his companions bowed and greeted.
They don't call their lord. Their lord is the old lord who has abdicated.
Instead of Jiang Jie!
Jiang Jie wanted to say something, but the word "Lord" stopped him from saying it.
He said politely, "Uncle Lin, the battlefield is ruthless, please be careful!" and then left.
Jiang Ling, who was following Jiang Jie, looked at Lin's father deeply before leaving.
Father Lin looked at Jiang Jie, Jiang Ling and the other Jiang family members walking away with confusion.
"Brother Lin, what's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing."
Although he didn't say anything, his heart was surging.
Just now, the person next to Jiang Jie had a strong murderous intention towards me!
