We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

Time goes back to a quarter of an hour ago.

Qiu Bai clasped his fists and said solemnly, "Your Highness the Prince of Yan and the Duke of Wei, please follow me immediately and move away from the enemy!"

After hearing this, Li Lin remained silent, while Zhu Chun was somewhat moved.

For Zhu Chun, the life or death of the Qin Wang cuckold had nothing to do with him.

Although Zhu Chun had a friendship with Emperor Qing, he had no feelings for these princes, especially in such a fierce battle for the throne.

Even if all the princes were tied together, they would not be as important as a finger of his own son-in-law.

As Emperor Qing grows older, the personal friendship between Zhu Chun and Emperor Qing becomes increasingly unreliable, and the lives of the entire Zhu family depend on Li Lin alone.

No, now it should be Li Lin and Li Che. Li Che is more important than Li Lin.

If Li Che could successfully seize the throne and the Fengwang camp won, at least it could protect the prosperity and wealth of the Zhu family for another generation.

But if Li Che fails in his bid for the throne, or if something happens to Li Lin...

Even if Emperor Qing still takes care of the Zhu family out of old friendship, the successor emperor will never let the Zhu family go.

After all, Zhu Chun is the founding duke and the chief military hero of Daqing. Which new monarch would not be afraid of him?

Li Lin was wondering, if Li Che was here, what would he do?

Now he was safe, and the King of Shu's crazy behavior would not affect him. He just needed to find a place to hide until the things outside were settled.

As for the King of Qin and the King of Jin? Although they were brothers, their relationship was not very good. Whether they lived or died had nothing to do with him.

There was only one thing that made Li Lin very unhappy. He had suffered so many assassination attempts for no reason. How was he going to settle this account?

If Li Che were here, with his vengeful character, he would have rushed into the palace and given the King of Shu a few beatings before his father could teach him a lesson.

Li Che: I avoid his edge? !

Thinking of this, Li Lin looked at Qiu Bai and said firmly: "No! We will not retreat!"

Qiu Bai looked puzzled: "Your Highness Prince Yan...you?"

Li Lin sneered and slowly put his pistol back into his waistband. "On my way to the capital, I've encountered at least seven or eight assassination attempts, if not ten. If nothing unexpected happened, they were all done by my good brother, right?"

"If he doesn't consider me his brother, why should I acknowledge him as his younger brother? Now he wants to fight to the death, but I won't let him have his way! Let's go to the Prince of Qin's mansion, rescue my second brother, and then take him to the Imperial City to confront Father and the King of Shu!"

"But Your Highness... this is very dangerous." Qiu Bai advised, "The King has ordered us, the Night Watchmen, to protect you at all costs. If anything happens to you..."

"Commander Qiu is wrong." Li Lin shook his head. "The capital is in turmoil, the situation is unpredictable. Where in the imperial capital is there a truly safe place?"

Hearing Li Lin's words, Zhu Chun beside him suddenly said: "Great!"

Li Lin and Qiu Bai were both stunned and looked at Zhu Chun.

Zhu Chun showed admiration on his face: "The King of Qin, the King of Chu, the King of Zhou, and the King of Shu were all born to Concubine Lu. If something like this happened to their brothers, His Majesty would never let the King of Shu off easily, and might even vent his anger on Concubine Lu!"

"And if we rescue the King of Qin, not only will we be doing him a favor, but we will also allow His Majesty to see that the princes of the Fengwang line are considerate of the overall situation and value friendship and loyalty."

"Everything is afraid of the word 'comparison'. The contrast between the two is so strong. The prince born to Concubine Lu will completely lose the right of inheritance. And whether Prince Jin survives or not, he has already lost the initiative. Not to mention that he is also guilty of smuggling and corruption."

"In this way, Prince Feng's position as crown prince will be more secure. No matter how much the noble families object, Your Majesty has no choice but to pass the throne to Prince Feng."

Zhu Chun looked at Li Lin approvingly.

He knew that his son-in-law had a kind heart, but lacked some strategy.

Now it seems that a good son-in-law not only has a pure mind, but also appears wise!

Qiu Bai was also a little confused. Could it be that Li Lin had been with his prince for so long that he had developed some quick wits?

He couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, do you think so?"

Li Lin smiled, looking very confident, and slowly said:

"Of course... no, I'm just mad at the King of Shu and want to beat him up!"

Qiu Bai: ...

Zhu Chun: ...

Well, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is still His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan.

Holy as ever...

"In that case, we must gather all our strength to defeat the King of Shu's assassins in one fell swoop and rescue the King of Qin," Qiu Bai said. "The night watchmen you brought into the city, plus those in the Imperial Capital, will total about three hundred people."

Not every Night's Watchman can climb walls and is good at fighting.

Most of the night watchmen in the imperial capital are ordinary people. They usually infiltrate various places in the imperial capital and are only responsible for collecting intelligence.

Li Lin also said: "There are also a thousand elite soldiers of the Fengguo Army accompanying me into the capital, but they are all outside the city. With such a big incident, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for them to enter the city."

"However, Prince Yan's Mansion does have some guards and servants that I left behind, about two hundred people."

Qiu Bai shook his head and said, "I'm afraid they won't be of much use. Facing those brave warriors who are ready to die, we need veterans."

Zhu Chun said, "I still have three hundred soldiers in my palace. They are all veterans who have fought hundreds of battles and can be used."

"As for the troops stationed in the three camps, although I have the right to order them to move, they will definitely not rashly intervene in the fights between the princes."

"There's no time to hesitate." Li Lin made the decision immediately. "The soldiers from the Duke's Mansion will be responsible for sealing off the perimeter of the Prince of Qin's Mansion. We will rush in with the night watchmen to rescue them. Let's get Second Brother out first, then we can deal with anything else!"

. . . . . .

At this time, outside the Prince of Qin's Mansion.

Three hundred armored and sword-wielding guards surrounded the Prince of Qin's mansion, making it impossible for anyone to get out.

Inside the palace, the showdown between the Night's Watch and the King of Shu's assassins has reached its final moment, with only a handful of assassins still resisting stubbornly.

"Second brother, you're so confused!" Li Lin looked at Li Zhang with deep sorrow. "If I wanted to harm you, why would I wait until now? And why would I bring people to rescue you?"

"Open your eyes and look. Who are those people in black? Look at those crossbows and crossbow arrows. They're all made of wood from Shu! They're the Shu King's loyal soldiers. He's desperate and wants to drag all his brothers down with him!"

"Seventh brother?"

A crack appeared in the madness in Li Zhang's eyes. This name was like a basin of cold water, poured on his burning anger.

"Yes, it's him!" Li Lin pointed at the corpses of the assassins in their night clothes on the ground. "He knew that if his father summoned him to the palace, it would be dangerous, so he madly sent assassins to the residences of several princes in Beijing to assassinate them!"

"The Qin Palace, the Jin Palace, and even my Yan Palace. Luckily, I wasn't there at the time, so the assassins came up empty-handed. And my sixth brother saw through the situation and ordered his men to secretly protect me, so I was able to escape and come to save you!"

"Now, the guards of the Duke's Mansion have blocked the perimeter of the palace, cutting off the reinforcements of the assassins. The truth will come out sooner or later!"

"Second brother, wake up the fuck up! Your enemy isn't me, or Old Six! It's that unscrupulous Li Huan hiding in the shadows!"

Li Lin's words were like heavy hammers, hitting Li Zhang's already confused mind again and again.

He looked down at Liu Rumei in his arms, who had completely lost her life. Her body temperature was rapidly dissipating.

And the instigator of all this was actually his seventh brother Li Huan, who always obeyed his words?!

A huge sense of absurdity surged into King Qin's heart!

He fought and struggled for half his life, guarding against the kings and guessing about his father, but in the end he almost died at the hands of his own brother!

And the woman he loved most used her life to block the cold arrow from her brother!

“Ah!!!” Li Zhang suddenly raised his head and let out a wild animal howl, “Li Huan, you deserve to die!”

After a roar, Li Zhang finally came to his senses and knelt there in a daze.

"By the way, Prince Jin! Where is Prince Jin?" Li Lin suddenly remembered and asked anxiously.
