Three days later, Bater and Aying received news from Karl, and immediately went to Karl and the Xiro Palace with Lin Ting.
The incident happened suddenly and Lin Ting had no idea what was happening.
"Bater, since we are already partners, I have the right to know the news you have received. Otherwise, next time you want me to give you advice, I can't guarantee that I will have the right ideas."
Bater was very happy today. As long as the noble families of Xiro supported him, he would still be the king of Xiro.
He also firmly believed that those ministers would not betray him.
“Lin Ting, you are indeed useful, this king just said that I would take you to Wenzhu County, and Shen Qingzhou ran back from Karl.
In addition, I did as you said, your life is in my hands, and asked Xiao Jingchuan to withdraw his troops, and he really did withdraw his troops.
I really can't tell that Xiao Jingchuan's feelings for you are no less than Shen Qingzhou's."
Lin Ting fell silent. It was true that Xiao Jingchuan liked her, but as the ruler of a country, it was impossible for him to hand over Xiro, which he had conquered with great difficulty, to Bater just for her.
Bater was not stupid either. The person who allowed him to go back at this moment was Bai E, whom he trusted the most, and wrote to him, saying that the Dongxia Kingdom had withdrawn its troops.
Moreover, the most powerful family in Xiluo, Meng Zhuo and others, have made all preparations and will be able to regroup when he returns.
Along the way, Lin Ting was thinking. She slowly sorted out the whole thing, including all the details.
I have a lot of assumptions and ways to deal with it in my mind.
The three of them walked for about eight days. With the help of the Xiro family along the way, they arrived at the Xiro capital, Karl, smoothly.
After getting off the carriage, Bartel looked at the walls of Karl, which were all replaced by Xiro's soldiers.
This familiar place is where he grew up. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath of Carl's air.
"The air in Xiluo is still the best."
Bai E, Meng Zhuo, Gao Li and other ministers, along with the Xiluo soldiers and their family members, all bowed to Bater.
"Your Majesty, we welcome your return."
Lin Ting observed the place and found that there was not even a single person from Dongxia Country. Could Xiao Jingchuan really have left like that?
No, he must have a backup plan.
Bater raised his hand and asked his ministers to stand up. As long as Xiro had these seven or eight big families, Xiro would not be destroyed.
After Bai E got up, he immediately ran to Bater's side with a fawning smile on his face.
"My king, you are finally back. You don't even know that during your absence, we lived a life worse than cattle and sheep."
Bai'e doesn't have much special ability, but he is the best at providing emotional value to Bater, and Bater likes him very much.
"Bai E, after Xiao Jingchuan withdrew his troops, did he leave anyone behind in Xiluo?"
Bai E didn't dare to laugh anymore, his face full of resentment.
"Your Majesty, Yijia is now in Yangcheng. He said that after you return to the palace, he will come to take Madam Weirui back. He also asked you to keep your promise and not break it."
Bater turned to look at Lin Ting. Lin Ting was still useful now, and he wanted to use Lin Ting to threaten Shen Qingzhou.
"Find someone to tell the people of Dongxia that once I'm safe, I'll naturally send Madam Weirui back safely."
Lin listened carefully to everything around him.
But Bartel didn't realize that danger was approaching him.
All he saw were people Bartel trusted. He was pushed into Karl, and there was nothing unusual in the entire city.
Meng Zhuo brought all the important people in the family and asked Bater to return to the palace.
"Your Majesty, the palace has been prepared for you in its original state. Do you want to rest first, or should we discuss government affairs first?"
Xi Luo had just returned to a few cities, and Bater was not in the mood to rest yet. Lin Ting followed her, so he naturally had to talk about political affairs first.
"Mengzhuo, have you counted Xiluo's soldiers? How many troops are left?"
Meng Zhuo is tall and strong, and he lowered his head and smiled slightly.
"The Meng family army has approximately 10,000 soldiers. I will mobilize all of them today to protect the king."
Ten thousand people, if you add Shen Qingzhou's weapons and Lin Ting's strategy, we can take our time.
"Meng Zhuo, in these cities we've reclaimed, all males will be recruited into the army, regardless of age."
"Your Majesty, this is not good. In some families, there is only one man. If you take away the only man, how will the women in the family live?"
After entering the palace, Bater looked at Meng Zhuo with a gloomy expression.
"Recovering Xiluo is everyone's responsibility. Meng Zhuo, don't forget that your Meng family and Xiluo have long been connected.
As long as Xiro is here and the Meng family is here, without Xiro, you will lose your authority and power.
Besides, if we don’t take all these men into the army, how can we resist the Dongxia army?”
Meng Zhuo stopped in his tracks, his expression changed from respectful to calculating, and even his voice changed.
"Your Majesty is right. We really can't defeat them."
Bai E pulled Lin Ting back, and the Xiluo soldiers surrounded them instantly, trapping Bater and A Ying in the middle.
Everything changed so quickly that neither Bater nor Aying could react.
Looking at his own people surrounding him, Bartel was in disbelief.
"Mengzhuo, Bai'e, are you crazy?"
Aying drew out the long sword in his hand and protected Bater. He didn't expect that even a lackey like Bai'e would betray the king.
"We are not crazy. We are just trying to protect our family, right, Master Shen?"
Following Meng Zhuo's last words, Shen Qingzhou, Yijia and others rushed out from the gate of the palace.
Seeing Shen Qingzhou in a black brocade robe running towards him quickly, Lin Ting knew that he would definitely not be fooled by Bater.
"lady!"
Seeing Shen Qingzhou, Lin Ting also trotted over and ran into his arms.
"Shen Qingzhou, I knew it, I knew you must be here."
Lin Ting's guess turned out to be correct. Shen Qingzhou would not have failed to realize that if she was really taken to Wenzhu County by Bater, it would not be Bater who was holding her hostage.
Wenzhu County is Lin Ting's territory. Anything left behind can convey information to Shen Qingzhou.
Seeing Shen Qingzhou in the palace, and the people surrounding Bater were all his former ministers.
At this moment, he knew that he had lost, and he lost completely.
"Shen Qingzhou, it's you, it's you who plotted against me."
Shen Qingzhou held Lin Ting's hand and didn't want to waste time talking to Bater. If this man dared to touch his woman, he would crush all his hopes with his own hands.
"kill!"
Shen Qingzhou didn't need to mobilize any soldiers. Just by opening his mouth, he could make the relatives of the aristocratic family that Bater once took pride in raise their knives and kill him.
With so many people, Bater and Aying alone are no match for them. Death is the only thing waiting for him.
But even if he dies, his death must be meaningful.
"Shen Qingzhou, you can't kill me yet."
As Bater spoke, he took out a piece of talisman paper from a black porcelain bottle with a wicked smile.
There was white phosphorus on the talisman paper, which ignited when it came into contact with sunlight.
"don't want......"
Lin was shocked and was about to reach out to ask someone to stop Bater, but it was too late.
The talisman paper burned in the air. Lin Ting couldn't control his body and fell into Shen Qingzhou's arms.
