“Lin Chengtian, come out and receive the order!”
In a ruined temple at the foot of Qingliang Mountain, Lin Chengtian was lying on a bed of straw when he was awakened by a sharp sound outside the door.
“Eunuch Cao Xing…”
Walking to the window and looking at the man in black standing in the courtyard through the gap, Lin Chengtian frowned and felt something was wrong.
As the old saying goes, it’s true to be with a king like a tiger.
The Dayu Dynasty was founded thirty years ago. The old emperor died of illness three years ago. Because he had no children, the eldest princess ascended the throne as the emperor. She changed her reign to Qinghe and was known as the Empress Qinghe.
Eighteen years ago, Lin Chengtian traveled to this world. His father was Lin Nan, the king of Dayu Zhennan. He was also the only king with a different surname in the Dayu Dynasty. He guarded Shangyuan County and blocked the barbarians outside Sichuan.
In order to show weakness and make Emperor Dayu feel at ease with them, Lin Chengtian acted like a prodigal, lying drunk on the fence at night, shooting bows and hunting during the day, and enjoying himself. Unexpectedly, it was not enough to make the emperor feel at ease.
A year ago, the barbarians outside Sichuan sent a letter to Empress Qinghe to express their surrender. Empress Qinghe issued an order to let the clan outside Sichuan marry their princess to Lin Chengtian as their concubine.
Who would have known that half a year later, the barbarians outside Sichuan betrayed their faith and suddenly sent troops to occupy two cities in Shangyuan County on the pretext of sending the princess here for marriage.
Empress Qinghe issued an order to reprimand Lin Nan and ask her to send troops to quell the chaos.
Lin Nan sent troops according to the order. It was supposed to be a crushing battle, but the barbarians outside Sichuan slaughtered 100,000 soldiers and horses, and returned in defeat.
Before Lin Nan could return to Nanchuan, Empress Qinghe’s imperial decree arrived and asked Lin Nan to enter Beijing to tell the story of the defeat.
Lin Nan had no choice but to follow him to Beijing.
At the same time, he gave Lin Chengtian a letter. If he hadn’t come back after one month, he would ask Lin Chengtian to put down everything in Shangyuan and go to his hometown in Nanchuan.
Lin Chengtian received the news and did not dare to neglect. He took some confidants and set off quickly. In one or two days’ journey, he would be able to enter the border of Nanchuan.
“Eunuch Cao, why are you here?”
Song Fang did not dare to neglect, and walked over with a smile on his face and clasped fists.
“A general like you is not qualified to talk to the Za family? Get out of here.”
Eunuch Cao glanced at Song Fang indifferently, the ridicule and ridicule in his eyes was undisguised.
The soldiers wearing heavy armor all around heard this and stood up one after another, their hands already on the swords at their waists.
“What? A bunch of homeless dogs still want to attack the miscellaneous family?”
“Commander Zhou, if any of these people dare to make any move, we will kill them all on the spot.”
“The King of Zhennan is dead. How dare you, a bunch of wild dogs without a master, bark in front of the Miscellaneous Family?”
Eunuch Cao flicked his sleeves and looked arrogant. In addition to delivering the order this time, he also had a secret mission to secretly eradicate Lin Chengtian.
Everyone in this courtyard has already been on the list of the king of hell, so there is no need to look down upon the dead.
“Eunuch Cao, you came all the way from the capital just to show off your rhetoric, right?”
Lin Chengtian walked out of the room, feeling a little uneasy, waiting for Cao Xing to speak.
“Huh? This loser actually dares to refute?”
Cao Xing frowned. According to past intelligence, Lin Chengtian, the son of King Zhennan, was an uneducated waste. He was obsessed with hooking up all day long. He was a prodigal son. He should not dare to refute him.
Thinking of this, Cao Xing flicked his sleeves, opened the imperial edict, and announced it first.
“It is God’s destiny, the emperor decreed! Zhennan Wang Linnan failed in his expedition outside Sichuan. I thought of his merits and did not hold him accountable. However, Zhennan Wang was loyal to Tianjian. He felt defeated and had no face to see him again, so he rushed to the palace.”
“In consideration of his past merits, Lin Chengtian, the son of Lin Nan, the quasi-zhennan king, will inherit the title. Regardless of hereditary succession, I will grant him the title of Nanchuan County…”
After the edict was read out, Cao Xing raised the corners of his mouth slightly and stared at Lin Chengtian, preparing to see how he would deal with this rumored playboy.
“Hanged himself…” Lin Chengtian’s pupils shrank, and he clenched his fists involuntarily.
He guessed that the imperial edict brought by Cao Xing was definitely not good news, but he didn’t expect it to be this.
“What? The prince is dead?”
“Impossible, you must have lied to us…”
Song Fang roared and opened his eyes angrily. He didn’t believe the content of the imperial edict at all. He drew out his long knife and was about to chop Cao Xing.
In his eyes, Lin Nan was the invincible God of War, and it was absolutely impossible for him to die.
“Song Fang, come back.” Lin Chengtian suppressed the murderous intention in his heart.
“Your Majesty, he said that the prince is dead…” Song Fang’s trembling voice was filled with tears, but he still didn’t want to believe it.
“Lin Chengtian accepts the order!” Lin Chengtian walked to Cao Xing expressionlessly, took the order, and killed the eunuchs who delivered the order. But it was a serious crime, and the imperial cavalry nearby could kill them on the spot.
Lin Chengtian put away the imperial edict and whispered: “This hereditary indiscretion was not given by his royal family, but was earned by my father with his life.”
Lin Nan said it in his original letter to him,This defeat was due to a spy in the army, who cooperated with the barbarians outside Sichuan and told him to be careful of the generals in Shangyuan.
And if he cannot return to Beijing this time, he will also fight for a hereditary replacement for Lin Chengtian. The future will depend on Lin Chengtian himself.
“Presumptuous, do you think that because you have inherited the title of King of Zhennan, you can make irresponsible remarks?” Cao Xing frowned, showing displeasure.
Lin Chengtian suddenly raised his foot and kicked Cao Xing in the chest, knocking him over and rolling on the ground for more than ten times before he stopped.
“Lin Chengtian, do you want to rebel?”
Behind Eunuch Cao, a man who looked like a general who had been silent stepped forward and scolded him coldly.
“I am now the King of Zhennan, a mere eunuch who dares to speak rudely to me. I am merciful by not killing him.”
Lin Chengtian had a cold face and his eyes fell on that person.
The commander of the imperial guards of the capital, Zhou Guang, is a second-grade minor grandmaster and a confidant of Empress Qinghe.
“You…” Zhou Guang was speechless for a moment. Lin Chengtian was right. From the moment he received the imperial edict, he was the King of Zhennan, the highest-status person in the Yu Dynasty besides the empress.
All the subjects of the Yu Dynasty must kneel down and salute Lin Chengtian when they see him.
“Commander Zhou, Lin Chengtian is going to rebel, kill him quickly.” Cao Xing picked up from the ground, pointed at Lin Chengtian, and shouted angrily.
“Let’s go.”
Zhou Guang looked at Lin Chengtian deeply with a sullen face, then turned and walked towards the door. Two guards came forward and pulled Cao Xing out.
“Shi, Your Majesty, are you just going to let them go?” Song Fang came over, holding a long knife, and wanted to kill Cao Xing and others directly.
“Zhou Guang is a second-grade young master. You can’t keep him even if you come together.”
“And now it’s not whether we can keep them, but whether we can make it to Nanchuan alive.”
Lin Chengtian shook his head. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to take action, it was just that the difference in strength was too huge.
His qualifications were not good. Lin Nan had found many masters for him to teach him martial arts, but after more than ten years of training, he was still only at the seventh level.
In this world, there are martial arts practices, ranging from the ninth level to the first level from low to high.
Those who reach the second level are called Little Grandmasters, and those who reach the first level are called Great Grandmasters.
And above the first level, there are three innate realms, which are divided into innate golden body realm, innate gas transformation realm, and innate god refining realm.
Song Fang is the strongest and only has a third-level cultivation level.
Zhou Guang, a second-grade junior master, came together to announce the decree, which meant that Empress Qinghe had given an order to let Lin Chengtian die.
Lin Chengtian asked Song Fang and the others to quickly pack their things and set off immediately.
Outside the ruined temple, Cao Xing stared at Zhou Guang with a puzzled expression: “Commander Zhou, have you forgotten His Majesty’s decree? Let Lin Chengtian go with Lin Nan, why didn’t you take action just now?”
Cao Xing was furious when he thought that Lin Chengtian, a down-and-out prince who had sacrificed his own father’s life, dared to hit him.
“His Majesty also said that Lin Chengtian should die quietly.”
“There is a village not far from here. There are hundreds of guards around Lin Chengtian. Although I can kill them all, it will inevitably cause noise. If word spreads, your Majesty will definitely be discussed.” Zhou Guang said lightly.
“Then when are you going to take action?” Cao Xing asked. In addition to announcing the decree, he also had another task, which was to witness Lin Chengtian’s death.
“Don’t worry, Lin Chengtian can’t reach Nanchuan.” Zhou Guang glanced at Cao Xing, pulled the reins, and drove the horse to the front.
Several figures scattered from the imperial cavalry behind them and disappeared behind.
