Lin Yu's life of traveling through time
Chapter 152: Survival in the Ancient World (21)
Lin Yu cleared his throat and said, "Eunuch, since it is an imperial edict, I wonder what conditions the court has given?"
The eunuch glanced at Lin Yu and asked bluntly, "Hey! Who are you? Can't you see that I'm talking to Master Shi? Why are you, a servant, butting in?"
When Lin Yu heard that this man actually treated him as a servant, he immediately laughed out of anger. He also looked at his clothes carefully and thought that this eunuch must be blind.
Lin Yu sneered in his heart, but didn't show it on his face. He said, "Didn't the eunuch ask Lord Shi to come and summon me? How come I became a servant just because of your words?"
"What? You... you, you, you, are you the Lin Yu who defeated the Mo Nan army?" Steward Wang, pinching his fingers like orchids, looked at the man in front of him in disbelief, thinking that the Queen's goal had been thwarted. But when this man arrived in Kyoto, was she still worried that she wouldn't be able to capture him? After all, the Queen's methods were formidable.
Thinking of this, Steward Wang instantly calmed down. He said sarcastically, "Oh, General Lin, so you're in Qingyun Mansion. This will save Lord Shi from running away. As for the conditions for the imperial edict, you'll know when you return to the capital with my family."
Lin Yu sneered: "You are so insincere, eunuch. This makes it difficult for me. My brothers have been with me through thick and thin. There must be a clear explanation, right?"
The eunuch snorted, "General Lin, don't push your luck. It's a blessing that Her Majesty has given you this opportunity. Otherwise, for your actions, which are tantamount to treason, you should have been beheaded long ago."
Lin Yu scratched his ears and said, "Oh? Looks like we can't talk it out properly. Tsk, I don't think you guys are really willing to surrender. Why don't you just stay in Qingyun Mansion? What do you say?"
Manager Wang's eyes widened with anger, and he pointed at Lin Yu, trembling for a long time without saying a word: "You...you you you...you are so bold."
"Heh. Am I bold? Would you like your father-in-law to think about this carefully? What will you do if you fail to achieve your queen's wishes?"
"Humph, you are really greedy. The emperor appointed you as the general of the frontier defense, and you are not grateful for his kindness."
"Oh! Okay, then I'll thank you after I meet the emperor." Lin Yu said indifferently.
Manager Wang was so angry at his attitude that he fell backwards. If he hadn't appeared here in Shizhongshou, there would be no need for him, the manager, to step in to recruit the amnesty. This man was really arrogant. He would definitely sue him when he got back.
Lin Yu, Mo Ziyang and Shi Zhongshou nodded to each other tacitly, responded to the imperial edict of amnesty and went to the capital to meet the emperor.
Shi Zhongshou escorted Wang Zongguan and his entourage to the government post station, and the three of them sat in the government study.
Shi Zhongshou was the first to speak: "My lord, this trip is full of dangers. I have sent letters to the people in the capital overnight, asking them to cooperate with us."
Mo Ziyang also said, "That's right. I will also contact the families that haven't sided with them. I think that kid from the Chen family can't wait any longer."
"Alas! It's a pity for the Chen family. A family that has lasted for a hundred years is ruined just like that... Does the lord have any plans?"
Lin Yu said: "With what happened today, I think the emperor and Yu Wanwan made this decision together. The emperor wants to recruit me, and Yu Wanwan wants to meet me in person."
Shi Zhongshou said, "That's right. They asked me to recruit the Lord, but they were just trying to set a trap for me. If the recruitment succeeds, you and I can go to the capital, and the Lord might be given a trivial official position. Given the Lord's background, they would definitely not refuse. After all, the pursuit of life is nothing but money, power and benefits. If Yu Wanwan dislikes the Lord, you and I will be prisoners in the capital."
Mo Ziyang agreed: "That's right. If you, Zhongshou, fail to recruit them, they will have another reason to torment you. After all, that woman is reluctant to kill you for the time being." When he said this, Mo Ziyang looked at Shi Zhongshou with a strange look.
Lin Yu was very puzzled. What was Yu Wanwan's intention towards Shi Zhongshou? So he carefully looked up and down at Shi Zhongshou who was sitting at the table.
I thought to myself that I hadn't noticed it before, but after a closer look, I realized that Shi Zhongshou was actually a handsome man. It was just that his beard covered up Mr. Shi's beauty.
Perhaps because Lin Yu's gaze was too intense, Shi Zhongshou felt very uncomfortable being looked at. He coughed lightly and said, "Oh. What's the point of being reluctant? It's just that I haven't been fooled by her."
This made Lin Yu's eyes light up. Others may not know it, but Lin Yu is well aware of Yu Wanwan's deception. He didn't expect that Shi Zhongshou could resist being deceived. He is indeed a powerful person. However, this also made Lin Yu wonder what the conditions were for Mo Ziyang to choose a wise leader.
When Lin Yu had doubts, he asked directly: "Mr. Mo, from what Lord Shi said, it seems that some people are not influenced by Yu Wanwan, right?"
Mo Ziyang nodded and said, "Yes, very few. They are basically upright people who are consistent in their appearance and inner qualities."
"Then how did you choose a wise leader? I remember you said you searched for three years, and the one you found was still bewitched by Yu Wanwan. So, there are people around you who are immune."
Mo Ziyang said with a smile: "My lord, you know that those who can become emperors are also people chosen by heaven, and they must have dragon energy. In this chaotic world, there are good and bad people mixed together. Originally, if these heroes were normal, one of them would end the chaotic world of division. Unfortunately, since Yu Wanwan appeared, the luck of these heroes has been madly lost, especially the Emperor of Ju. He should have been the emperor who unified the world, but now... Alas!
As for the one I found, it only had a hint of luck, but people have desires, and if they can't control them, they will be devoured by them, and they can be bewitched by Yu Wanwan."
Lin Yu suddenly realized that Mo Ziyang was actually good at the art of qi-reading. He had said that it was impossible for someone to recognize him so easily. So that's it.
"If it weren't for the accident, the Emperor of Ju would have been the ultimate winner, but now things are in chaos. I'll write to Fangcheng and Daliangcheng shortly, asking them to select a group of elite soldiers to accompany us to the capital."
Shi Zhongshou frowned and said, "I'm afraid that Chief Steward Wang will find a reason to let you go to the capital alone."
Mo Ziyang said, "Why not send elite troops secretly? I and Zhong Shou's men can also be used when the time comes. My lord, you've driven the Mo Nan Kingdom out of the grasslands, so they won't be able to make a comeback anytime soon. It would be better to dispatch troops and have them recapture the towns one by one. I'll have Mo Qingyu help. I think some cities will be willing to open their gates and surrender."
At this moment, He Lin and the postman came outside the door to ask for a meeting.
"Lord, we have received a letter from Daliang City and Fangcheng."
"Come in."
Lin Yu took the letter and opened it. His face was immediately filled with joy. He clapped his hands and said, "Good, good. Mr. Ji and the others did a great job."
"What's the good news, my lord?"
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Didn't we just talk about retaking one town at a time? I previously asked Mr. Ji and Bai Sili to send people to various major towns to develop all kinds of people and publicize the changes in our Daliang City to the public in order to attract population. I didn't expect there would be a surprise. I got two talents, Lord Shi and Mr. Mo.
Mr. Ji wrote to say that two cities are planning to surrender to us, and the people in three other cities are waiting for us to attack them one day to cooperate with them from both inside and outside.
The best news is that a general named Dai Rong surrendered to me.
Shi Zhongshou's eyes lit up. "Dai Rong? Why would he surrender if he's such a stubborn guy? He was always working so hard for that guy. Isn't he in Shanyin City?"
Lin Yu read the letter and said, "It is said that Dai Rong's wife was given to her by Yu Wanwan..."
Lin Yu was speechless for a moment. The words on the letter reminded him of the demonized Su Daji in the Investiture of the Gods.
Mo Ziyang and Shi Zhongshou looked at Lin Yu and saw that he looked grim. They asked, "What happened?"
"The punishment is to be put into a scorpion pot."
"What? This demon queen." Shi Zhongshouqi's beard stood up.
Mo Ziyang said, "My Lord, it seems you and Zhong Shou should be careful when entering the capital."
Lin Yu nodded and said solemnly, "This demon queen is so cruel, it's really outrageous. But the situation is urgent now, so we can only deal with it carefully."
He didn't expect that this fellow time traveler was so vicious. It was hard to believe that this person was the one who traveled from modern times as Lao Liu said.
Shi Zhongshou took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and said, "Does Dai Rong have any troops?"
Lin Yu shook his head: "This guy is really lucky. Yu Wanwan originally invited him to watch a play, saying it was a reward for his general, but when he went, he saw his wife, who should have been at home, carrying her big belly and being pushed into a scorpion pot. He was held by seven or eight people and watched helplessly. Later, he was sent to a cell. Because Yu Wanwan hadn't decided what to do with him, if he had obeyed Yu Wanwan, he might have saved his life. This guy simply agreed and escaped with his confidants when no one was paying attention. Only his personal guards were left with him."
Shi Zhongshou was once again enraged: "What on earth is this demon queen trying to do?"
Mo Ziyang patted Shi Zhongshou and said, "Calm down. If you hadn't managed to escape and sent your wife and children to Qiyun Mountain, you would have ended up like this. It's inevitable for anyone who isn't under Yu Wanwan's control. Otherwise, those of us who stayed behind wouldn't have played along with her to hide ourselves."
"In my opinion, Dai Rong has a common enemy with us at the moment and should be trustworthy," said Lin Yu.
Afterwards, Lin Yu discussed many details with Shi Zhongshou and Mo Ziyang until late at night.
The next day, Lin Yu and his companions prepared to depart for Beijing. Before leaving, they made proper arrangements for matters at home.
