Lin Yu's wait didn't last long.
Feng Jiu soon received a message from Guanzhong.
"Young Marshal, the Grand Secretary has issued a decree to reduce the number of troops. The Beiye unit will be disbanded from now on, and the million soldiers under Beiye's command will be at the disposal of our Fengfu!" Feng Jiu's tone was excited, clearly satisfied with the result.
Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction, "It seems the Grand Secretary knows how to handle people! All this time has not been in vain!"
Since receiving the imperial warrant as the Inspector of Eight Prefectures, he has dealt with all the powerful clans.
He knew he was a pawn being used by the Grand Secretary, but for the sake of the country and the world, he took on this responsibility voluntarily.
However, the Grand Secretary did not disappoint him and gave him full trust.
In this way, he could do things without any worries.
"Young Marshal, what should we do with these more than one million people?" Feng Jiu asked.
Lin Yu said calmly, "Except for Blood Wolf, who will be kept and sent to the Ironclad Cavalry for reorganization, the rest can be dismissed!"
"What? Dismissal?" Feng Jiu thought she had misheard.
"Young Marshal, you must understand, these are over a million strong and capable men! If we just dismiss them like this, the loss will be too great!" Feng Jiu couldn't understand it.
Lin Yu glanced at him indifferently, "We should reciprocate what we have received. They put our minds at ease, so we should put theirs at ease too! If these more than one million people really stay, how do you think the other ministries will view us? Although I am not afraid of others' apprehension, the Grand Secretary will ultimately face pressure from all sides! In addition, what are the daily expenses for more than one million people? Even if our Fengfu can afford such a huge expense, do you think it is necessary?"
"The key to an army is quality, not quantity! Too many people are not necessarily a good thing. What if hostile forces invade and mutinies break out? How will you deal with that?" Lin Yu said calmly, expressing his concerns.
Feng Jiu was slightly taken aback, then showed a ashamed expression, "Young Marshal is right, I didn't think it through!"
Lin Yu nodded and said calmly, "Do as I say!"
"Oh, by the way, have you found the Undead's lair yet?" Lin Yu said, narrowing his eyes.
The undead are ambitious. Although they have taken the initiative to befriend him, ignoring them would still pose a great threat.
Feng Jiu quickly replied, "We've already found out. Over the years, the underground of Qing City has been hollowed out due to the development of coal resources. The Undead Clan took advantage of this and built their lair under the city several years ago, just like a rat hole!"
Lin Yu was taken aback, then sneered, "This Undead Clan is truly as their name suggests, they really can't stand the light of day! Races like this that can't see the light of day must be wiped out. Even if they aren't wiped out, they must be restrained and controlled, otherwise when an external crisis comes, they will be like a venomous snake in your back, giving you a good bite!"
A murderous intent flickered in Lin Yu's eyes. Even though Li Nan took the initiative to befriend him, crippling Lao Jiu and getting him to cooperate in overturning the case, it only fueled Lin Yu's murderous intent.
His past experience taught him that such a fickle person should not be allowed to stay!
...
The night was dark and the wind was high.
This atmosphere is perfect for murder!
Despite the barriers surrounding the underground palace, Lin Yu entered with ease.
I stood in the vast hall.
Li Nan nearly tumbled off the throne with a sudden jerk.
"So, it's Brother Lin!" Li Nan stammered.
He witnessed the battle between Lin Yu and Jie's clone last night.
He knew that Lin Yu possessed the strength of a Martial Saint, which was far beyond his current ability to defeat, so naturally he dared not act rashly.
Lin Yu said calmly, "Get down and kneel before me!"
"you!"
Li Nan's face darkened as he said, "Brother Lin, as martial artists, we should put loyalty first. I helped you with Lao Jiu's matter, so you should at least give me some face, right?"
Lin Yu smiled faintly: "Loyalty? You make it sound so nice, but aren't you just afraid of my strength? If you were stronger than me, I probably would have been dead last night, right?"
Li Nan's expression froze, and he was speechless.
Indeed, if he were stronger than Lin Yu, he would have killed Lin Yu yesterday, instead of leaving him alive until today.
After all, Lin Yu had killed several of his clan's experts, making him a great enemy of the Undying Clan. He wished Lin Yu would die immediately.
But there was nothing he could do; circumstances forced him to back down.
So he chuckled dryly and said, "Brother Lin, it's better to resolve conflicts than to make them fester. Why bother? Let's become friends and plan great things together in the future!"
Lin Yu shook his head. "You old turtle, you're really good at holding back. I killed your own brother, and you secretly wish I would die soon, but you still want to make friends!"
"I, Lin Yu, never befriend scheming people! So, don't even dream about it! I, Lin Yu, always eliminate enemies completely! Make your move, or you'll really have no chance!" Lin Yu's eyes were sharp, and a murderous aura suddenly erupted.
"you!"
Li Nan's face turned extremely ugly. He never expected that Lin Yu would be so determined to kill him!
"Fine! Since you insist on being so relentless, then don't blame me! Kill!"
At this moment, Li Nan also erupted!
The true energy expanded instantly, exponentially! It quickly reached an unbelievable level, causing the entire palace to shake.
"Entering the Saintly Realm?" Lin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
That's right! Li Nan has become a saint!
In fact, he could have become a saint long ago, but he kept it hidden for the sake of the development of the Undead race.
But at this moment, he knew that this was his only chance. If he didn't become a Saint, he would never be a match for Lin Yu!
Whew!
The surge of vital energy leads to a qualitative change through quantitative change!
Feeling the increasingly solid and powerful true energy, Li Nan felt more and more confident.
He's getting a little cocky!
He looked at Lin Yu and burst into laughter, "Hahahaha! Lin Yu, you little brat, do you really think I'm afraid of you? If it weren't for the development of our clan, do you think I would fawn over you?"
"Now, I have attained sainthood! Although you can unleash saint-level attacks with your immortal treasures, you are still not a saint. In front of a true saint, you are nothing but an ant, a chicken or a dog! Hahahaha! Ahahahaha!"
In the end, he completely lost control and burst into laughter.
"Is the fox's tail showing now?"
Seeing his smug look, Lin Yu couldn't help but shake his head. "You really are a coward!"
"However, people are always prone to not recognizing themselves, just like that horseman didn't know he was a donkey, and that bird didn't know he was a chicken!" Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.
Li Nan was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
Lin Yu looked speechless. "This song is so popular lately, and you haven't heard of it?"
Li Nan subconsciously shook his head. He didn't usually use Douyin, so how would he know?
Lin Yu's lips curled up slightly. "It's alright! I'll burn the CD for you after you go downstairs. Don't worry, the songs are free, there's no piracy issue!"
brush!
No sooner had he finished speaking than a silver needle suddenly shot out and pierced directly into Li Nan's qi barrier!
