People with higher positions of power are more likely to believe what they see and to accept their own judgment!
In the three years since Zhou Cheng came to Beijing, his feelings for Lin Jiaoyun have gone far beyond mere affection.
That was an act of reckless, heartfelt honesty.
Which of the ministers in the capital hadn't witnessed it firsthand?
Who hasn't heard those ridiculous rumors? Zhou Cheng loves Lin Jiaoyun so deeply, how could he just stand by and watch her marry someone else?
"That's right, Your Majesty!"
"This must be Zhou Cheng's scheme. He launched a surprise attack on the granary in an attempt to throw the court into chaos!"
"Zhou Cheng intended to use such tactics to deceive the court. One can imagine how anxious Zhou Cheng was at this moment. He probably wished he could rush into the capital immediately to rescue the Lin family girl from the capital."
"Your Majesty, I suggest that while we still have time, we immediately send another batch of elite troops to the capital. We just need to wait and wait, and not be disturbed by Zhou Cheng's schemes. We will surely be able to capture Zhou Cheng alive!"
"Your humble servant seconds this suggestion."
"Your humble servant seconds this suggestion."
Although Emperor Yan always had a bad feeling that something big was about to happen.
But then I thought, Zhou Cheng was able to travel all the way from Jiangling City to save Lin Jiaoyun. He and the other officials were certain about it, so how could anything go wrong? And what could possibly go wrong?
Unless it's a weapon in Zhou Cheng's hands, whose power once again exceeds everyone's expectations.
That deadly weapon...
Emperor Yan's expression was majestic, but a hint of burning desire for the weapon flashed in his eyes: "That makes sense. Issue the order to the prefects of the eight surrounding cities. I don't care what methods they use, but send another three thousand elite soldiers into the capital."
"I don't believe it."
"With the Lin family's daughter luring Zhou Cheng to his death in front, and 150,000 to 160,000 Imperial Guards and elite troops behind, this vast capital city can't even capture a mere hundred men like Zhou Cheng!"
"I will ensure that no one from the Zhou family ever returns!"
If another 3,000 troops are transferred from nearby cities, not only will there be reinforcements in case of an accident, but the number of soldiers on guard duty will probably be reduced by 30%.
However, most of the ministers present did not consider any other possibilities.
Only the Prime Minister, standing at the head of the hall, frowned. But seeing all the ministers kneeling and shouting "Your Majesty is mighty!", he could only suppress his unease and echoed, "Your Majesty is mighty!"
Perhaps Your Majesty is right to send another three thousand elite troops.
Zhou Cheng will definitely go to the capital, won't he?
Not to mention that 150,000 to 160,000 elite troops in the capital were besieging and killing Zhou Cheng.
Let's talk about Lin Jiaoyun...
Lin Jiaoyun made a big promise in the main hall last time that she would definitely stab Zhou Cheng in the back on the wedding day. She said that as long as Zhou Cheng dared to show his face, she would draw her sword against him.
But will all of this really develop as these people imagine?
"daughter!"
"Zhou Cheng is here."
"He's near Yan City now, and he's really here to save you."
An excited voice rang out from the Lin family study.
Lin's father, his face filled with emotion, clasped his hands together and paced back and forth, his expression a mixture of worry and joy at the relief that had been granted.
Compared to her impatient father, Lin Jiaoyun, who was sitting next to him fiddling with her fingernails, was much calmer. When she heard the news that Zhou Cheng had arrived near the capital, she simply curled her lips slightly.
She knew it!
I knew Zhou Cheng couldn't let her go!
Her previous engagement with Cheng Xianyi, her scolding of herself, and her severing of ties with herself were all to avoid implicating the Lin family.
“Father, I told you long ago that Zhou Cheng loves me so much, there’s no way he would abandon me.”
“My daughter, I really didn’t expect that Zhou Cheng would be so attached to you. Even though he knew that His Majesty had set a trap for him in the capital, he still came here regardless of everything to save you.”
