Old Yang made the call.
Not long after, a major operation took place in the western region.
A large number of troops returned to reinforce Yandu.
It was publicly announced that it was a joint exercise.
The other state coaches also received the news and were extremely surprised.
They call it an exercise? Who would believe that?
The capital region is a strategically important place, not to be trifled with!
The Fengtian Army's Iron Pagoda was renowned throughout the land, standing out from the crowd.
Although Xiliang did not have the Iron Pagoda, it was still a formidable force in the Nine Provinces!
If these two sides were to start fighting, what would become of them?
For a time, the entire state of Great Xia was filled with unease and fear.
I wonder what earth-shattering event will happen next.
In the Military Affairs Department, the eight elders frowned deeply.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous.
If this isn't handled properly, it could go down in history.
History is always written by the victors.
It's really hard to say who will win this time.
The Ironclad Cavalry swept away all enemies and saved the Great Xia from danger several times, earning them a great reputation. It would be a lie to say they weren't nervous.
At this moment, Old Yang suddenly spoke up, "Gentlemen, my son has now returned to reinforce the capital, but let me make it clear first that he has returned only to protect the capital, not to fight. I think we should talk to this kid first, because if we really start fighting, it won't benefit anyone!"
“Exactly! And this covert war continues. If there were no Floating Pagoda Army, who would defend against the Japanese?” Another elder voiced his concerns.
At this moment, Wu Tiande waved his hand and said, "Everyone, I think you're worrying unnecessarily! You've all seen the recent good news. The Ninja Way School and the Martial Arts School have suffered setbacks one after another, and now even the Divine Toilet has been blown up. There are also natural disasters on the island. It won't be long before things recover. I suppose things will calm down after that. If we're given these ten or eight years, surely we can cultivate a second Lin Yuanlong?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
They naturally understood what Wu Tiande meant; it was clear he intended to discard them after they had served their purpose.
However, upon closer examination, Old Wu's words do make some sense.
The Feng family was too powerful, and Lin Yuanlong was a troublemaker, so the major clans always regarded them as a thorn in their side.
Now that we've taken this opportunity to remove this thorn, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?
However, this was a very big deal, and some of the elders were still somewhat worried.
Someone suggested, "Why don't we consult the Grand Secretary first and let him make the decision?"
Wu Tiande waved his hand, "The Grand Secretary is getting old and hasn't been feeling well lately, so let's not bother him with this matter!"
Upon hearing his words, everyone fell silent instantly.
Everyone knows that the Grand Secretary is about to retire, and Old Wu is eyeing that position covetously.
Not just him, but everyone here, who doesn't covet the position of Grand Secretary?
At this moment, no one else spoke up.
Having reached this position, remaining silent is itself a form of attitude.
Now that the Grand Secretary is seriously ill, it will be easy for everyone to join forces and sideline the cabinet.
Meanwhile, Lin Yu also received news that the Western Border Army was returning to reinforce Yandu.
At this time, the Buddhist army was already twenty miles from the capital, on a vast plain. Lin Yu ordered them to set up camp.
"Are these old fogies in Yandu planning to discard me after I've served my purpose?" Lin Yu's eyes gleamed with a sharp light.
Now that the covert war has achieved a partial victory, he originally wanted to see what attitude these old foxes would have.
This military uprising, besides seeking justice, may also be a test.
However, the result of the test was disheartening.
"Heh, I should have thought of that..."
Lin Yu stood on the high hill, feeling the night wind blowing.
It's true what they say, the higher you climb, the colder it gets!
"The aristocratic families and the gentry have always been the same. Sages are ruthless and treat the common people like straw dogs. Their rise and fall are both suffering!"
Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.
Despite bearing the title of "Young Marshal," he and his father were ultimately nothing more than tools and beasts of burden for others.
Feng Jiu, standing to the side, pursed her lips and said, "Young Marshal, don't say that. This is just the attitude of the aristocratic families, not the attitude of the cabinet. At least the Grand Secretary hasn't spoken yet!"
"Grand Secretary?" Lin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Suddenly, a kind old man came to mind.
This old man devoted himself to the country and its people, doing a great deal of work. He even threatened the interests of many powerful families.
Lin Yu acknowledged his achievements.
The fact that this exercise was conducted under the guise of a military exercise, rather than a direct declaration of war, may well be a way of waiting for the elders' attitude. Waiting for justice!
Lin Yu glanced at the sky and said, "After tonight, we should have a result!"
"I have never set foot in Yandu since I was born!"
Lin Yu thought of something and said, "My mother's hidden illness was left over in Yandu. This time I came to the capital, this matter should be resolved!"
Feng Jiu looked remorseful. Lin Yu had been asking her to investigate the battle at the city gate, but so far there had been no results.
He quickly lowered his head and said, "It was my fault for failing in my duties. Please punish me, young marshal!"
Lin Yu waved his hand, "It's alright. Since you can't find out, this matter is not so simple. It probably involves a lot of people, and I need to take action myself!"
Feng Jiu pursed her lips and said, "Young Marshal, the brothers have been working very hard to investigate, but this matter is really strange. In the end, all the clues went cold! I think someone must have deliberately hidden this matter, and in Yandu, apart from the aristocratic families, I'm afraid no one else could have such power!"
"Aristocratic families?" Lin Yu frowned, his eyes filled with confusion.
The aristocratic families and the martial arts world are worldly and otherworldly, so how could the aristocratic families be involved in the feuds of the martial arts world?
What exactly are they trying to cover up?
