"Young Marshal, I would never do anything to betray Qi Wei!"
In a brightly lit bar, a group of men and women are swaying on the dance floor.
Especially the female lead dancers on the central stage, wearing super short hot pants, short skirts, black and white stockings, posing seductively, made the men below shout and whistle incessantly!
In a corner, on a sofa booth, Feng Jiu looked at Lin Yu with a nervous expression.
Despite his infamous reputation as the Jade-Faced Yama, he rarely visits places like this.
She was afraid that if she wasn't careful, Lin Yu would lead her astray!
Lin Yu glanced at him irritably. "Do you think I brought you here willingly? It's only because you were poisoned by corpse poison. Although I cured you, this kind of poison has aftereffects. You have to make it raise its head often to maintain its ability, understand?"
Feng Jiu suddenly realized, and then looked at Lin Yu apologetically, "I'm sorry, Young Marshal, I misunderstood you!"
Lin Yu waved his hand, "You've been with me for so many years, of course I won't treat you badly! I've booked a room for you upstairs and arranged for a few Russian beauties, those long legs and big breasts, they're guaranteed to get rid of your aftereffects! You've worked hard catching flying corpses these past few days, so stay here for a few more days and take a good rest!"
Long legs? Big legs?
Glug!
Feng Jiu swallowed hard, but then suddenly remembered something and asked Lin Yu, "Young Marshal, this is a work injury, so it should be reimbursable, right?"
Lin Yu glanced at him and said irritably, "Nonsense, of course it'll be deducted from your salary!"
"Huh?" Feng Jiu was immediately dumbfounded.
Before he could say anything, Lin Yu quickly stood up, waved his hand, and said, "Alright, you can enjoy yourself here. I'm leaving now!"
"Hey, young marshal!"
Feng Jiu hurriedly tried to follow, but unexpectedly, several fair-skinned, long-legged blonde girls with blue eyes walked over and pressed Feng Jiu down onto the sofa booth.
"Grandpa, don't go!"
"Mr. Lin spent a lot of money to have us take good care of you!"
"He said that since you earn over 100 million a year, you'll give us a generous tip!"
"As long as we have enough money, we'll do anything you ask!"
Several women were densely packed around Feng Jiu's body.
Feng Jiu was completely flustered!
"Hey, hey, hey! Young Marshal, Young Marshal—"
...
Just as Feng Jiu was experiencing both pain and joy, Lin Yu had already walked out of the bar.
I casually lit a Hongtashan cigarette.
I haven't smoked in a long time, and I didn't dare to smoke in front of my wife. But when I finally got the chance to take a puff, it was so satisfying!
Just then, a phone call came in!
It turned out to be a call from the Yandu Cabinet.
Lin Yu thought for a moment, then walked to a quiet place and accepted the task.
On the other end of the phone was Hua Zhen, the commander of the Imperial Guards!
"Haha, Young Marshal Lin, how have you been?" Hua Zhen greeted him with a smile.
Lin Yu took a puff of his Hongtashan cigarette, exhaling smoke as he said nonchalantly, "Spit it out!"
On the other end of the phone, Hua Zhen looked embarrassed.
I'm the commander of the Imperial Guard, you should at least give me some face, right?
Lin Yu sneered, "Does the Grand Secretary have good news for me? I've been used as a pawn by you all these days, do you expect me to give you a friendly look?"
Hua Zhen quickly said, "Young Marshal Lin, what are you saying? You are the powerful Inspector General of Eight Prefectures, a title that has been held by many throughout history. Besides, aren't the issues you've resolved all matters within your own Feng Prefecture? How can you ask us to use you as a pawn?"
Lin Yu chuckled lightly, "You know perfectly well that the eight great clans have infiltrated the military, political, and business circles of Fengfu, and you are powerless to reverse the situation. Aren't you just trying to use me as a drastic measure to deal with them?"
"Now I've slapped the faces of the Wu, Chen, and Zhang families, sowing the seeds of hatred. But what have you in the cabinet lost?"
"You accomplished this without firing a single shot, causing these families to hold a grudge against me, and they might even threaten my family. I've gotten myself into all this trouble, haven't I just been used as a pawn?" Lin Yu said with some resentment.
He saw these things clearly from the very beginning.
The baby is crying inside, but just doesn't say it!
That meal at Beihai was definitely not for nothing!
These words left Hua Zhen speechless. He could only chuckle awkwardly.
"As the saying goes, the capable are always burdened with more responsibilities! What is your status? Outsiders only know you as the young marshal of Fengfu, but who knows that you possess the world's most powerful and wealthy empire! You are the chosen one, and these missions are your inescapable duty!" Hua Zhen flattered with a smile. His words were truly from the bottom of his heart; he genuinely admired Lin Yu.
Lin Yu had had enough of this flattery and said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense. Contacting me is never a good thing. Spit it out!"
Hua Zhen chuckled and said, "Nothing can be hidden from Young Marshal Lin, so I'll just say it straight! Aren't you catching flying corpses in Ha Prefecture? Perfect, we can take care of something big while we're at it!"
Lin Yu frowned. "What is it that's even bigger than flying corpses? Do you know what the consequences would be if that thing became a drought demon?"
"Of course I know!" Hua Zhen immediately replied, "There is a severe drought, the fields are littered with corpses of the starving, and the people are living in misery!"
"However, what I'm about to say has even more severe consequences! It could even affect the fate of the entire nation and ruin its future!" Hua Zhen said with utmost solemnity.
Lin Yu frowned even more deeply. He wanted to know what was so serious, so he asked curiously, "Tell me about it!"
Hua Zhen immediately said, "According to inside information obtained by our defense system, a martial arts force is currently rising in Harbin! This martial arts force is being secretly supported by the South!"
Lin Yu scoffed, "I thought it was something serious. Is this all? Wasn't Li Qingcang also supported by the South? Didn't I wipe him out too?"
Hua Zhen hurriedly said, "Young Marshal Lin, you must not underestimate the seriousness of this problem. This is different from Li Qingcang! The harm caused by this force is much more serious than that of Li Qingcang because it involves a special bloodline!"
"Special bloodline?" Lin Yu was slightly taken aback.
Hua Zhen said, "Actually, you've encountered this before. Think back carefully!"
After Hua Zhen's reminder, Lin Yu suddenly realized something, his eyes flickered, and he said, "You mean Uncle Li, the one next to Chen Yu?"
Last time, when Lin Yu was about to punish Chen Yu, a strange guy wearing a cloak appeared. He was the kind that couldn't be killed and was known as the Undead.
This special bloodline is extremely rare in this world, which is why it left a deep impression on him!
"So, this calamity was caused by the Chen family?" Lin Yu asked.
Hua Zhen quickly replied, "No, that's not it. Li Huai was originally planted in the Chen family by the Undead Clan to act as an undercover agent for the Ancient Martial Arts and to obtain information about the Divine Blood!"
"Although the Li family outwardly submits to the divine bloodline, their ambitions are not small. As they are also of special bloodlines, they are unwilling to be controlled by the divine bloodline. In addition, the problem of the divine bloodline's inheritance has become increasingly serious over the past few decades, and they have always wanted to take its place!"
"Therefore, once they get the chance, they will definitely be the biggest hidden danger in the entire north!" Hua Zhen said in an extremely solemn tone.
