Lin Yun said: "I have reached an agreement with the Eight Wise Kings, and now I am waiting for the emperor's decree! However, I am afraid that I will not be able to stay with Eighth Brother in the future!"

Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Why?"

"Hey, to tell you the truth, in order to win the throne for Bage and reassure the court, I decided to join the court as an official!"

Lin Xuan glanced at the fourteenth brother strangely. No matter how slow his reaction was, he still understood what was going on.

"Then the Eight Wise Kings want the Fourteenth Brother to be a hostage?"

Lin Yun nodded pretendingly: "Yes! Only in this way can the Emperor hand over Fengyang County to Bage with peace of mind! This is also the only way!"

Lin Xuan was greatly moved and knelt on the ground with a thud. XiuShu.com

"Fourteenth Brother, you...why are you doing this! How could you be so virtuous and capable as to make you pay such a high price, Foolish Brother!"

Lin Yun quickly helped him up and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter! The emperor is reluctant to kill me. Don't forget that I can also provide weapons and equipment to the Daduan Dynasty. For this alone, the emperor will not be able to complete the nationwide reduction of vassalage." They won’t even touch me! But if I encounter any trouble in the court, I hope Brother Batsu can help me!”

"That's no problem! From now on, if my fourteenth brother asks for something, Brother Yu will do his best to support it!"

What Lin Yun wanted was his promise.

Lin Yun negotiated with the Eight Wise Kings and agreed to use the Lin family army to attack various feudal kings. When the time came, he would still use Lin Xuan as a chess piece, but this was something he would not tell Lin Xuan now.

At this time, Jiang Kun said in a deep voice: "Fourteenth Master, how should we attack the city next?"

Lin Yun came to the city defense map, looked up and down, raised his hand and pulled it off.

"Siege the city? I don't think it's necessary at all!" Then he looked at Lin Xuan and said: "Brother Bage, now you personally lead five thousand elites to call for battle at the foot of Yulin City. Remember, don't do it easily. What we are playing now is psychological warfare. This kind of Surrounding but not attacking will be more of a deterrent to the Lin family's army!"

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "What if the Lin family wants to break out?"

"Let them out when they break out! Just send two thousand gunmen to kill them on the outside!"

Jiang Kun praised: "The Fourteenth Master's strategy is still good! I guess after doing it a few times, the mentality of the Lin family will collapse!"

Lin Yun smiled mysteriously: "Okay, Brother Bago, let's go call the formation!"

He arranged this just to delay time. He firmly believed that Lin Zixiang would take action after receiving the secret letter. The longer it was delayed, the smaller the cost of destroying the city would be, and he might even not waste a single soldier.

The more combat power the Lin family retains, the greater the benefit will be for Lin Yun to become an official in Beijing.

Seeing Lin Xuan walk out of the tent, Jiang Kun couldn't hold it in any longer. He knelt on the ground with a bang and said emotionally: "Fourteenth Master, why did you give up the throne so easily available to Lin Xuan? Lin Xuan is a narrow-minded person. , a villain who has no tolerance for others! If this news spreads, the brothers will definitely be chilled!"

Lin Yun looked at him kneeling on the ground and immediately raised his head and laughed: "Commander Jiang, do you think this young master will be the kind of good old man who suffers the consequences?".Ь.

Jiang Kun looked confused and shook his head slowly: "No! The Fourteenth Master has shown strong dominance along the way and is worthy of the word hero!"

Lin Yun laughed at himself, a hero? Is he worthy? Along the way, I have done a lot of shameful things, so it would be great if I could be a worthy female leader of the generation.

He bent down to help Jiang Kun up, and said jokingly: "Okay, originally, I didn't want to say more about what was on my mind! But since you are curious, there is no harm in telling you! However, what you say next will only make you want to die. Don’t tell anyone in your belly, otherwise, I can’t guarantee that you will have a good death in the end!”

Jiang Kun's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded vigorously, then raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

He suddenly realized that the self-made Fourteenth Master seemed to have changed. He couldn't tell whether it was for better or worse, but he couldn't see through it anyway.

Lin Yun said: "Actually, in my eyes, being the vassal king is tantamount to selling out the vassal! No one knows the emperor's determination to reduce the vassal vassal better than me! Therefore, I made Bage the vassal king, just using him as a I will be the one who checks and balances the imperial court in the future.

A trump card, nothing more! "

Jiang Kun took a breath and looked at Lin Yun in shock.

The Fourteenth Master's city is really unfathomable. It's like playing chess. Every time you take a step, you have to think about the next two or three moves. You even have to calculate the moves of the player.

Being his enemy is more terrifying than having a nightmare.

The cruel trick just now deceived Lin Xuan, who thought he was smart, into being so grateful that he almost risked his life. And he himself was sold, and he didn't even know it.

Jiang Kun looked confused, clasped his fists and said, "Then the Fourteenth Master joined the court as an official, is it because he wants to..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yun immediately made a silent gesture and said playfully: "Akun, don't say these things out loud, just keep them in your heart! If you really want to achieve a great career, just follow me. Don’t ask too many questions, and don’t be suspicious. As long as you are loyal, I will not let you down. In the future, it is not impossible for one person to be inferior to ten thousand people!”

Jiang Kun's eyes filled with excitement, he knelt on the ground again and kowtowed three times.

"From now on, my humble position is the sword in the hands of the Fourteenth Master. If you have two minds, you will be punished by heaven and earth!".Ь.

Lin Yun helped him up and smiled happily: "Okay, what I want is your loyalty! When my eighth brother becomes the king, you will stay in the Lin family and lead the Lin family's army!"

Jiang Kun suddenly raised his head and looked at him, saying, "Fourteenth Master, aren't you going to Beijing with your humble position?"

Lin Yun slowly shook his head and said sternly: "I want you to be a thorn in my eye! Monitor his every move!"

Jiang Kun thought for a moment and finally understood what it meant. He secretly sighed at Lin Yun's methods and nodded quickly: "I understand my humble position! I will definitely live up to the Fourteenth Master's trust!"

Lin Yun then nodded with satisfaction. How could he really believe in Lin Xuan? He just wanted to use the contradiction between Jiang Kun and Lin Xuan to act as a check and balance.

Although this is a bit shady, for the sake of safety, this is the only way to go. Of course, Lin Yun hopes that Jiang Kun will never use this secret card, but if Lin Xuan becomes the queen, he will inflate his ego and want to get away from him. If you don't have control, then don't blame Lin Yun for not talking about the past relationship.

Here, Lin Xuan directly ordered five thousand troops, rode his horse straight to the gate of Yulin City, and shouted: "Lin Hetu, you are also a king after all, but you are like a turtle, thinking that you can rest easy if you hide in the city and don't come out. Do you have the guts to come out and fight me for a hundred rounds?"

After getting Lin Yun's promise, Lin Xuan was completely moved and called himself a young master.

Upstairs at the city gate, the generals of the Lin family were so angry that they were livid, but without the order from King Fengyang, they did not dare to go out of the city to fight.
