Chapter 568: Cracked (Part 3)
Lin Wen's third return to Shenjing went relatively smoothly, and he transported all the family members of Shang Lianshan and others out at once.
It must be said that this advantage of the wooden man is very useful. Its special internal shape can accommodate many people and can even change its body shape.
For example, the chest can be transformed into a double-decker Autobot to accommodate more people.
It is really convenient and easy to use.
But there is still that shortcoming.
It’s too expensive.
Now.
The spell installment of "Moon Dew Laurel Leaf" has reached a very exaggerated level. In the next month, he needs to repay 210% of his soul every day.
"The world has changed so much" is even more terrifying. Lin Wen has almost borrowed all of his future soul. In the next month, he needs to repay 220% of his soul with interest every day.
In other words, starting from tomorrow, he needs to return more than 430% of his soul every day, otherwise his spirit will collapse and his soul will disintegrate.
These two fortunes will end in one day, and it is impossible to tear down the east wall to repair the west wall.
I can only rely on new luck.
But now is not the time to think about that.
It is rare to have so much powerful luck, and Lin Wen wants to take the opportunity to make a big profit.
Although we know that the success rate is not very high, both [Without a Colorful Phoenix] and [Phoenix Shining on the Water] illustrate this point.
However, with the existence of "red clouds covering the sky", perhaps a miracle can happen?
At worst, you can escape, right?
Lin Wen has already prepared his escape spells and luck. If the situation gets bad, he will just run away.
However, just as Lin Wen was getting ready to leave, the phone in his arms suddenly rang.
When I took it out and looked, it was Qin Luoshuang's.
"Hello."
"Lin Wen, my father has suddenly attacked Changshan County! They've sent out nearly half of their main force! This is definitely not right. Do you know what happened?"
Lin Wen's mind seemed to be struck by lightning, and he asked anxiously, "What did you say?"
"Lin Wen! The Qin Group has dispatched 350,000 elite regular troops, a large number of tanks and aircraft, and an unidentified number of artillery pieces across the Gobi Desert to attack Changshan County."
Lin Wen's thoughts flashed, and he immediately understood: "They discussed it! Lin Yabo and the local commander discussed it!"
"What did you say? Lin Wen, what have you agreed on?"
Lin Wen calmed down and said briefly, "I'll be there soon, wait for me."
This risky plan could not be carried out.
He must return to Changshan County first.
Lin Wen cast a spell and locked onto Qin Luoshuang, the person he was most familiar with. It only took [A World Away] a dozen seconds to lock onto her.
The white light of the spell shone on his body, and he was about to teleport away.
Lin Wen took one last look at Shenjing from afar. Most of this prosperous city was now plunged into darkness, with artillery fire, flashes and thick smoke faintly visible.
pity.
A flash of white light appeared, and Lin Wen disappeared.
at the same time.
Li Linyue and his group finally returned to the base camp of the Royal Guards.
This army, totaling 1.2 million people, is Li Longxing's biggest trump card and also a thorn in the throat of those who want to assassinate the emperor.
At this time.
Most of the backbone members of the imperial faction finally gathered together.
The Royal Guards finally had a backbone.
Li Linyue immediately took over his mother's power and became the temporary commander-in-chief of the imperial faction.
But at the pre-war meeting held immediately, the commander of the Third Army told her.
"Your Highness, we've been separated. There are only 200,000 people here, and five armies are scattered around Shenjing. Our communication has been cut off, and the signal has been blocked. I'm worried that the generals over there may not be able to withstand the pressure."
At the round table, all the generals of the imperial faction gathered together. The seriously injured Yang Jiewei, Xu Feili, Xiang Nanshan and Xu Lishan had their wounds bandaged and woke up. They lay aside and listened to the meeting.
This room full of generals gave Li Linyue confidence.
My father lay down and now it's my turn.
She thought silently.
Glancing outside the door, she was reassured by the large number of royal guards and Dragon Team agents, allowing her to no longer tremble in fear in this dangerous imperial ocean.
"Everyone."
Li Linyue said in a deep voice.
"What we must do first is to get the Supreme Council to give up its illusions, stop creating a fait accompli that the emperor is dead, and stop the farce of hastily selecting a new emperor."
"We must fight the Supreme Council head-on. We must clearly tell them, tell everyone, that their emperor is still alive, his loyal ministers and generals are still alive, and his friends and allies have never left."
"At the same time, we must also politely and reasonably communicate with the Supreme Council. We must clearly tell them that the group headed by Lin Yabo, who attempted to assassinate His Majesty, must be brought to justice. The ringleaders and the ringleaders must be executed, while those who coerced him can be considered separately. His Majesty's reforms can also be temporarily suspended and carried out according to the instructions of the Supreme Council."
"But justice must be given to us."
"I believe that as long as we clearly explain the reasons and demonstrate our strength, the Supreme Council will definitely consider our opinions."
"I've finished what I'm saying. What do you want to add?"
There was silence in the conference room.
Everyone looked at the First Princess. Her beautiful face did not lose its luster in the dim light, but instead looked even more dazzling, as if all the light came from her.
No one dared to overstep their bounds in their eyes.
A moment later, unprecedentedly warm applause broke out.
The blond man, Fili, howled while lying on the bed: "Your Highness, I will love you forever."
It ruined the whole atmosphere.
…
Things happened just as they expected. When they put forward their conditions openly, the imperial garrison commander representing the Great Elder immediately flew from Shenjing to the front line of the confrontation between the two armies.
Under the heavy protection of the royal guards and clay figurines, Li Linyue met the imperial garrison commander and started a conversation directly with the great elder through the communicator.
Li Linyue clearly stated her trump card.
She told the Great Elder that her father was still alive and that almost all the main generals of the Royal Guard had escaped.
If the Great Elder does not want the empire to be divided and plunged into endless civil war, he must reach a reconciliation with her.
In this regard, Li Linyue put forward four requirements.
1. Both sides lay down their weapons and remove the signal shielding against the Royal Guards.
2. Immediately announce to the entire empire that His Majesty is alive and well, and abolish the absurd plan for a new emperor.
3. Restore order in the empire and stop the purge of the imperial faction.
4. Arrest Lin Yabo immediately.
The communicator said, "Li Linyue, your request is too much. You should know that you don't have such a big bargaining chip."
Li Linyue said calmly, "Your Excellency, Great Elder, Uncle Shang will be returning to Binzhou soon, where his direct troops are stationed. East Qinzhou has also been under the control of Uncle Sheng, whose 500,000-man army is no less elite than the Imperial Army. All of our key generals are here, even their families. Nothing in the Divine Capital can threaten us."
"These 1.2 million Royal Guards are our bargaining chips. I hope you will consider this carefully."
The communicator said, "You are rebelling against the Empire. Not many people will go with you."
Li Linyue: "Your Excellency, the Great Elder, I reiterate that we are not rebelling, we are simply fighting for what we deserve. Many people will follow us, and the influence of father's new policies is greater than you think."
The communicator said, "Lin Yabo is an imperial elder. It is impossible to arrest him without any evidence."
Li Linyue: "Your Excellency, the fact that Elder Lin Yabo ordered the assassination is indisputable. If even the emperor of the empire is allowed to be assassinated, then you will be too."
The communicator said, "We will not arrest Lin Yabo, but we will stop the chaos and restore order. You will do the rest on your own, and you must do it within the permitted scope."
Li Linyue: "Then, before my father wakes up, I must become the regent queen of the empire, otherwise we cannot guarantee our own interests."
The communicator said, "Yes, but you must disarm. This is a sign of sincerity."
Li Linyue: "Release is relative, you must also release it."
Communicator: "Okay."
The call ended there.
Li Linyue felt a surge of joy in her heart, but she did not indulge in it because the next thing was more important.
Both sides will prepare their own armed supervision committees to monitor each other's disarmament.
This is the most dangerous and difficult step to take. All the generals are committed to their work. The trust between the two sides is very weak, and any misjudgment may lead to serious consequences.
But fortunately, in the end, it was completed without any danger.
There was a cheer in the barracks.
They were safe for now.
Li Linyue was eager to tell Lin Wen the news. She took out her satellite phone and dialed the most familiar number.
But all that came from the phone was the disconnection sound.
Did he turn off his phone?
No way?
The tip of the iceberg appeared in my mind, and there seemed to be a larger shadow hidden beneath the water.
At this time, the signalman also said in surprise: "What's going on? The signal was working just now, why is it gone?"
Suddenly, a shadow that had been ignored appeared in Li Linyue's mind. Panic instantly took over her nerves, and she immediately shouted: "Quick, quickly get back on your weapons!"
The messenger and the general were stunned: "Huh?"
Li Linyue said anxiously: "Hurry up!"
At this moment, Guo Feng also came to his senses and shouted frantically, "The Imperial Army isn't the full force... there's also Lin Yabo's army! They must have been ambushing nearby for a long time, and now they've blocked the signal, they're going to wipe us out!"
But it was too late.
Under the night sky.
On the vast plain outside Shenjing, countless tracer bullets suddenly rose up, like countless suns, illuminating the entire area as bright as day.
Countless soldiers rushed out from the forest or behind the bunkers, and the roars of helicopters, planes, tanks and artillery appeared one after another from the distance.
And they were unarmed.
The imperial army quickly retreated and gave up the battlefield.
Click.
Li Linyue's phone fell to the ground.
Her face was so pale that there was not a trace of blood.
——
Elders' Courtyard.
The four great elders sat expressionlessly behind the long table, while the imperial garrison commanders or generals of the imperial army kept reporting news to them.
But they never responded, and the comings and goings of people gradually decreased until finally everything returned to calm.
The Great Elder then leaned over, took the chess piece representing the First Princess off the chessboard, and threw it into the trash can.
"One less."
——
Shenjing.
Somewhere in a royal palace.
Amid the men's curses and wails and the women's sobs and screams, Lin Yabo stepped on the blood, admiring this hellish scene and listening to the divine song that even the greatest art could not play.
"Elder Lin."
Luo Nuo followed behind him, smiling respectfully, "Western Yanzhou has been purged, Yaojing will soon be ours, that idiot Shang Lianshan will soon be defeated in Binzhou, and Shan Xinwu will not be able to escape our grasp. Most of the imperial factions in Lingzhou, Tianzhou, and Longzhou have been eliminated."
Lin Yabo was immersed in the glory of victory and did not speak.
"We've won a resounding victory." Cheng Wei said with a smile, "Except for East Qinzhou, there's no trace of Li Longxing in the entire empire."
"Elder Lin is so wise." Everyone praised him.
"Elder Lin," Lin Youde, who had already been confirmed as the new emperor of the empire, asked respectfully, "Why did the Great Elder kill someone? This is unlike their style."
Lin Yabo smiled faintly and said, "Li Longxing survived a heart attack, the core members of the Imperial Faction all escaped and reunited in Shenjing, an unknown super-special combat body, and the Royal Guards who were barely injured... Imagine what the Great Elder would feel if he were in that position. Would he be worried that Li Longxing would wipe them out after he woke up?"
"oh!"
Everyone suddenly realized what was going on, and one person shouted, "No wonder you let us let those key members of the Imperial Faction go before. Elder Lin is truly a man of unparalleled wisdom!"
"Brilliant!"
"Elder Lin is invincible!"
Everyone was praising him fiercely. In the new imperial structure that was to come, Elder Lin was about to become the brightest star in the empire.
It is the object they must cling to.
Lin Yabo immersed himself in this glory for a moment and raised his hand.
Everyone stopped immediately.
Lin Yabo said calmly, "Everyone, don't be too happy too soon. The real battle will begin in the days ahead. Li Longxing holds a very high reputation within the empire, and in this incident, we were the ones who took action. The Great Elder's hands were kept clean, unharmed. For a long time to come, we will all face the backlash of hatred from across the empire, so everyone must be careful."
Everyone answered in unison: "Yes!"
Lin Yabo continued, "Especially you, Lin Youde. Do you think inheriting the throne is a good thing? You are the target. All the dissatisfaction with Li Longxing's death will be directed at you, the new emperor. If you can't bear it, you will soon be thrown out as a sacrifice and burned."
Lin Youde's burning heart suddenly fell into an icy hole, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Uncle, what should I do? You must save me!"
Lin Yabo sneered, "Don't worry, the outcome is still uncertain. Just follow uncle's lead and we'll see."
Only then did everyone feel relieved.
"Also, we must seize this opportunity to quickly wipe out the remaining remnants of the imperial faction."
Everyone said in unison: "Yes!"
——
Changshan County.
When I heard the message from the clay man’s telepathy.
Lin Wen cracked.
