Lin Yu's life of traveling through time

Chapter 153: Survival in the Ancient World (22)

When Chief Steward Wang saw that Lin Yu had brought quite a number of men, his expression instantly turned extremely grim. "General Lin, what do you mean by this? The Emperor only wants to see you, so why are you bringing so many people?"

Lin Yu sneered: "Eunuch, the journey to the capital is long, so bring more people with you just in case. Besides, these are all my confidants, and they are worried about me. Don't you think I can stop you? Or you..."

Steward Wang gritted his teeth, but could do nothing: "Hmph, whatever you say!"

Along the way, Manager Wang tried to trip up Lin Yu from time to time, but Lin Yu and the others cleverly resolved the problems.

Finally arriving in the capital, Lin Yu and others were placed in an inn.

Steward Wang said arrogantly, "You and Lord Shi will wait here. I will return to report, and someone will naturally notify you to come to the palace to see the emperor."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Lin Yu and said, "General Lin, I would like to kindly remind you that the capital is not your barbarian land. You must abide by the rules. When you enter the palace, you must not find any excuse to bring weapons into the palace, otherwise you will be assassinated."

Lin Yu said with a smile: "Thank you very much for your kindness, Eunuch Wang."

Lin Yu emphasized the word "good intentions". Manager Wang snorted coldly, rolled his eyes, and turned away.

Lin Yu shuddered unconsciously. Wow, this is so disgusting. A lot of the makeup on the eunuch's face has fallen off.

Shi Zhongshou smiled and said, "My Lord... In this place, I shall address you as General."

"It's okay, it's better to be cautious. Mr. Mo is contacting the children of the noble families in the rear, I don't know how the progress is. Lord Shi, have you arranged the manpower in the capital?"

"Don't worry, we have people in the dark. Even in the palace hall, we have people."

Lin Yu was surprised: "They won't be bewitched by Yu Wanwan?"

Shi Zhongshou shook his head. "The arrangements are all insignificant. Yu Wanwan can't meet and persuade everyone one by one. It's unrealistic to meet the entire palace. I have never asked them to appear in front of Yu Wanwan."

Now Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. According to Lao Liu, as long as the people on his side were immune, he felt relieved. Even if he appeared in front of Yu Wanwan, he was not afraid that someone would suddenly become mentally disabled.

"That's great. Mr. Ji is also making steady progress. Let's take action tomorrow based on the situation!"

Shi Zhongshou nodded and said, "General, we must be careful tonight to prevent any changes."

Lin Yu looked serious: "Well, He Lin, give the order and let the brothers be alert."

"Yes, General."

Lin Yu thought to himself that after traveling all the way to the capital, people were in a panic, there were disaster victims and beggars everywhere, and even the atmosphere in the capital was a little tense. I'm afraid that this country's luck is about to end.

That night, while the inn seemed peaceful, a turbulent undercurrent was brewing. Lin Yu and Shi Zhongshou were both unable to sleep, constantly keeping an eye on their surroundings.

The next morning, an envoy from the palace came and informed Lin Yu and Shi Zhongshou to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

The two men put on their clothes and followed the envoy to the palace. Along the way, Lin Yu observed the surrounding environment and silently planned a response strategy in his mind.

Arriving at the city gate, Lin Yu was stopped by a guard and a eunuch: "Are you the newly appointed General Guarding the Border? Don't you know that you must remove your weapons before entering the palace? Take off your sword now."

Lin Yu glanced at the eunuch who was speaking, and knew that it was the steward Wang who was causing trouble again. He really brought the sword with him today, and he had not intended to bring it into the palace. After all, his real weapon was still in his treasure bag. He just wanted to see what kind of trouble they would come up with. Unexpectedly, that was all. Lin Yu thought that he would be accused of something and imprisoned directly.

Lin Yu said nothing, took off his sword and threw it on the table, saying: "What else do you want?"

The guard was startled by Lin Yu's gaze, and the young eunuch was also frightened by the noise of Lin Yu throwing his sword. He stammered, "Hmph, please... please, my lords... please examine me."

Lin Yu and Shi Zhongshou cooperated by opening their hands for inspection. Their frankness made the two guards look at each other in confusion for a while, and then they hurried forward to check.

"It's OK, my lords."

Lin Yu straightened his clothes, glanced at the little eunuch who relied on his master's power, and walked inside.

"Wait a moment, General Lin, your guards are not allowed to go in."

Lin Yu looked at He Lin and said, "You guys go to the post station and wait for me. Someone at home is worried. Go back and write a letter home."

He Lin understood. This meant that he was asked to wait for news from Mr. Mo and meet with people from the capital.

"Yes, General."

Lin Yu and Shi Zhongshou walked into the palace gate, and the gate slowly closed. Lin Yu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shi Zhongshou. Their eyes met and they continued to walk in.

Arriving at the main hall, Lin Yu could hear the sound of stringed instruments and bamboo music, as well as the faint sounds of men and women laughing and cursing. Lin Yu curled his lips.

After waiting for a while, Lin Yu and Shi Zhongshou went in after hearing the announcement of the meeting.

Lin Yu lowered his eyes slightly and glanced around. It was indeed ridiculous. Could it be that Yu Wanwan was imitating the so-called pool of wine and forest of meat? So many princes, ministers, palace maids and dancers were in chaos. It was really disgusting to watch.

Glancing at the two people sitting at the top again, Lin Yu complained in his heart, what the hell is this place? These two people met the princes and ministers, not to mention being dressed neatly, they were hugging each other in public, this was too much.

Lin Yu took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. There was no other way. Shi Zhongshou on the side was almost furious. If he hadn't held the other's sleeve tightly, the man would have jumped up and cursed.

Lin Yu pursed his lips and whispered, "Be patient. The overall situation is more important."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the two adults have been brought here."

"Greetings to Your Majesty and Your Majesty." The two men just bowed and had no intention of kneeling.

"Well. Go ahead. Wanwan, this is the Lin you wanted to see. I think he's just that, a general guarding the frontier. Why would you summon him to the palace to see him?"

Yu Wanwan's eyes were as charming as silk, and her voice was seductive: "Your Majesty, this man has destroyed the royal court of the Mo Nan Hu people. How can he not be powerful? He even dealt with the Mo Nan army outside Fangcheng. I am curious! Besides, with such a person around, if he has any ulterior motives, how can Your Majesty sleep well? It is better to summon him to the palace and see him with your own eyes..."

While Yu Wanwan was speaking, her eyes were looking at Lin Yu and the other two below. There was a hint of amusement in her eyes, but more of it was cold.

Lin Yu knew that Yu Wanwan was looking at him, and her gaze was almost solidified.

The emperor then spoke, "Are you that Lin Yu? Since Wanwan thinks you're talented, I'll keep you. I'll hand over your soldiers and generals to Xiang Wentian later. I'll definitely destroy that fellow Wu Qifeng. Wanwan, you're mine alone."

Lin Yu was fed up with what he heard. Good fellow, he's already thinking about the soldiers and generals in his hands. How can you be so shameless? With no one defending the border, how can you, the emperor, eat and sleep well? What a fool!

Just as Lin Yu was complaining in his heart, Yu Wanwan said: "Your Majesty, General Lin is indeed very capable. His crushing defeat of Mo Nan is a great honor for our Ju State. How about I personally offer a glass of wine to General Lin?"

Shi Zhongshou's heart suddenly tightened, and he looked at Lin Yu worriedly. Lin Yu gave him a reassuring look.

The emperor's stupidity struck again. He thought that Yu Wanwan was trying to recruit talents for her again. Although he felt that Lin Yu was not worthy of his baby to toast him, a commoner, he couldn't bear to refuse any of Wanwan's requests.

"Wanwan, don't give him too much face. I know Wanwan's feelings for me, but they don't know her value. Wanwan is obviously my virtuous queen."

Lin Yu tried to contain his laughter, but he almost burst out laughing. He felt extremely sympathetic towards Shi Zhongshou's helplessness in facing such a brain-dead emperor in the capital. This emperor must have run away from home, both his brain and eyes!
