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

Inside the second hall of the Fuzhou government office, the atmosphere was so depressing that it was almost suffocating.

As a border vassal king, Li Lin naturally couldn't have a conversation with someone from a noble family like Chen Wenrui.

But he just stayed here and refused to leave. Chen Wenrui didn't even have the chance to check on the situation and gradually became restless.

Li Lin is not the type of person who can sit idle. Seeing that Chen Wenrui didn't say a word, he actually started telling him a story, and it was the "Jin Ping Mei" which did not exist in this world.

But he was sitting at the bottom of the main seat, spitting all over the place, his face full of joy:

"... When Ximen Qing saw Pan Jinlian, intoxicated and charming, lying on her beautiful body beneath the grape arbor, he was so captivated by her beauty that he could not restrain himself! He tore open her gauze dress, revealing a pair of jade bowls..."

Chen Wenrui on the opposite side was feeling very uncomfortable. How could he have the heart to listen to "Jin Ping Mei"?

The news of the Japanese pirates' rebellion outside the city was like a poisonous snake circling his heart. The trusted advisor sent to contact Yang Ling had not returned yet, and he wanted to rush out immediately.

But this Prince Yan in front of me is sticking here like taffy, telling these erotic and vulgar stories, and I don’t know where he heard them from.

It made him feel upset, but at the same time, he was vaguely intrigued by the plot. He wanted to continue listening but was extremely anxious. It was like two completely different worlds.

Chen Wenrui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead again and again, and the back of his official robe was soaked. He wanted to say goodbye several times, but Li Lin always blocked him with words like "Hey, don't be impatient, the excitement is yet to come!"

Chen Wenrui felt like he was about to be driven crazy!

Just when he was on the verge of collapse and wanted to get up and see the guest off regardless of the consequences.

"Master, something bad has happened! Something terrible has happened!!!"

A shrill and distorted scream came from outside the hall, and his trusted advisor rushed in regardless.

But the lawyer's face was as pale as paper, his hat was askew, and his face was covered with snot, tears and dust. Where was his usual politeness?

He even completely ignored Li Lin who was sitting in the hall, and rushed to Chen Wenrui, crying and shouting:

"Master, it's over, it's all over! His Royal Highness Prince Feng... His Royal Highness Prince Feng brought the personal soldiers of Prince Fu's Palace to capture Yang... and those Japanese pirates alive!"

"He was just brought into the city through the west gate. Everyone in the city saw him. Now he's...heading towards the government office!"

boom--

Chen Wenrui only felt a nine-day thunder exploding in his mind, and his eyes suddenly went dark and the sky was spinning.

His body shook violently, and if he hadn't held onto the table in time, he would have almost collapsed to the ground.

It's over, completely over!

Yang Ling is Chen Wenrui's biggest weakness. He knows all his secrets. As long as Yang Ling opens his mouth, Chen Wenrui will be blamed for his death.

A huge fear instantly overwhelmed Chen Wenrui.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Li Lin, only to see that the latter was smiling, his eyes full of teasing.

All the doubts were instantly connected, starting from Gong Qingwen being framed, to Li Che's sudden visit, and Li Lin's deliberate entanglement...

All of this was simply an elaborate trap, the purpose of which was to trap him in the government office, out of the city's control, and then allow Li Che to attack directly.

"King Yan!!!" Chen Wenrui's eyes were red, like a beast cornered. "You...you plotted against me!!!"

However, before he finished speaking!

Li Lin, who was originally lazily leaning on the chair, suddenly had a gleam in his eyes and his wide robe sleeves shook violently like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.

Swah——

A cold light slipped out from the sleeve and hit Chen Wenrui's neck with incredible precision!

The cold blade pressed against his throbbing carotid artery, and the roar stopped abruptly, leaving only the suppressed gasping sound from his throat.

The playful look on Li Lin's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a murderous aura as sharp as a knife.

He clamped Chen Wenrui's shoulder with one hand and held the gleaming dagger with the other. His voice was low and full of oppression:

"Trick you? Chen Wenrui, how could this prince not know what kind of person you, the Grand Administrator Chen, are?"

"Colluding with the Japanese pirates, raising private soldiers, exploiting the people... every one of these crimes is worthy of your entire clan being executed."

"Since you've done it, you should be prepared to admit your mistakes! Stop whining like a sissy!"

The moment Li Lin controlled Chen Wenrui, the master also reacted extremely quickly.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately let out a terrified scream and rushed out of the hall, rolling and crawling.

While running, he shouted:

"Someone, come quickly! There's a thief trying to kill the governor—"

Li Lin snorted coldly without even looking at his master.

He just pushed the pale-faced Chen Wenrui and forced him to walk out of the room step by step.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, the scene in front of him made Li Lin's pupils shrink slightly.

The open space in the backyard of the government office was already surrounded by a huge crowd of people.

Dozens of government officials and private soldiers armed with sticks and iron bars all looked nervous, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Chen Wenrui has been in charge of the government office for many years. He has already replaced all the people above and below with people who are close to him. They only listen to his orders and are unaware of the court.

Li Lin scanned the crowd and finally set his sights on a few of them.

These men were short and strong, with fierce eyes. They wore tight clothes that were very different from those worn by Dafeng, and had long and narrow Japanese swords on their waists.

The most eye-catching thing is their hairstyle - the top of their heads are shaved, with only hair on the sides and back of the head, which is combed into weird little buns.

"Japanese!"

A cold light flashed in Li Lin's eyes, and the sharp blade of the dagger pressed a bloody mark on Chen Wenrui's neck:

"Well, Chen Wenrui! It's not enough to collude with the Japanese pirates, you even dared to hide Japanese warriors in the government office. You are so bold!"

Chen Wenrui was frightened out of his wits, but when he saw that he was outnumbered, a glimmer of crazy hope rose in his heart.

He forced himself to remain calm and said, "Yan... Your Highness, the Prince of Yan, as the saying goes, he who understands the current situation is a hero."

"This is Fuzhou, not your Yan territory, nor King Feng's Feng Kingdom, nor the imperial capital!"

"No matter how skilled you are, you can't defeat four with two fists. With a single command from me, all these servants and warriors in this courtyard will turn you into minced meat in an instant!"

"Why don't you let me go? Let's sit down and talk it out. We can come up with a mutually acceptable agreement. Otherwise... we'll both be destroyed, and it won't benefit anyone."

"Zheng Zhang, do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

Li Lin looked at Chen Wenrui as if he had heard a huge joke. He looked at him as if he were looking at a dead man. "With your strength, you are worthy of negotiating terms with this king?!"

Chen Wenrui's face flushed and he spoke incoherently: "You..."

bang bang bang-

Just as Chen Wenrui said the word "you", a series of dense and crisp explosions like frying beans sounded from all directions without warning.
