You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 256 Ye Yi, you have completely become a discarded pawn now!

"Eradicate? Uncle, please don't be so harsh!"

As he spoke, Lin Yanzhi changed the subject and said:

"It's just that the emperor's uncle is old and can no longer handle many things. Just like two years ago, the emperor's uncle suddenly changed his mind and caused us to miss that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

As soon as Lin Yanzhi finished speaking, another male voice said coldly:

"My lord, you should have given up this position long ago. Why don't you take this opportunity to have a good rest?"

The person who spoke was the head of the second clan, Zhuang family - Zhuang Mingxiu.

The Shadow Moon Tower is their limbs and sharp blades scattered across the place. Each Shadow Moon Tower has a Shadow Master, who all obey the Seven Lords. And each Lord within the seven kilometers manages all the Shadow Masters in each specific area.

The seven dukes are headed by the Lord, and all serve the prince and work hard for the cause of restoring the country. Those among the seven dukes are all heads of various families in the previous dynasty of the Ye family. Lin Kaiji is the Lord, and has the power to govern the other six dukes.

As Zhuang Mingxiu finished speaking, the heads of other clans also began to attack him.

"My lord, ever since you obtained the Eastern Border Defense Map two years ago but ruined the cooperation with the Northern Jue people, you have no right to sit in that position."

"Ye Yi, you are too soft-hearted. Have you forgotten how the Xiao family exterminated the Ye family? How they wiped out our aristocratic families and left them no chance of survival! The blood of the Wu family has not yet dried, and the people in the underworld have not yet closed their eyes, but you have become a running dog of the Xiao family!"

"You are like a dog now. If someone gives you a bone, you just follow them..."

……

Looking at their accusations and complaints, Xiao Yan couldn't help but let out a light laugh:

"Ye Yi, they are the so-called Seven Lords! Look at their faces, they seem to have betrayed you."

As she spoke, she seemed to feel that this was not enough, and she lifted her red lips slightly, and then slowly said:

"Ye Yi, you have completely become a discarded pawn now!"

Killing people and breaking their hearts, Xiao Yan's words were like a sharp blade, piercing the heart.

Lin Kaiji never thought that one day, the people who would besiege him would not be his enemies, but his own people.

They all stood at the highest moral point and accused him of being soft-hearted and betrayed.

Xiao Yan curled his lips slightly, played with the soft sword in his hand, and said with regret:

"It seems that I can't compete with King Wenxuan today. Since King Wenxuan has family affairs to deal with, I will leave first!"

As Xiao Yan turned around, Lin Kaiji's voice sounded behind him:

"Xiao Yan, do you think you can leave? He wants to bury us here completely."

"I naturally have my own way."

Lin Kaiji's eyes darkened and he said:

"You think that with your "divine weapon"? I know that each of your guards has one, but more than half of them were consumed in the battle with my men just now. Now it is impossible for you to break through their encirclement of 30,000 people!"

Xiao Yan pursed her lips and waited for his next words:

"Xiao Yan, let's cooperate. You don't want Zhao Zhao to die here, right?"

……

Lin Yanzhi looked at the two people not far away, they seemed to be plotting something.

He frowned and waved at Ye Qi.

Ye Qi showed an embarrassment on his face. He was not a fool and could probably understand what they had just said.

The reinforcements they talk about are, to put it nicely, encirclement and suppression!

They want to get rid of the young master.

Seeing that Ye Qi was unmoved, Lin Yanzhi's eyes flashed with fierceness.

"What? Even you have become Xiao's running dog?"

Ye Qi quickly shook his head and said in fear:

"I am absolutely loyal to the Crown Prince and have no second thoughts."

Lin Yanzhi's eyes were sharp:

"Then why don't you come when I call you? What are you afraid of?"

Lin Yanzhi looked at him with murderous intent in his eyes:

"Betrayer, die!"

When Ye Qi met Lin Yanzhi's eyes, his legs suddenly went limp. After struggling for a moment, he looked at Lin Kaiji's remaining troops, gritted his teeth, and walked over.

He knew what his decision meant, it meant that he had chosen to betray the young master.

Looking at Ye Qi's back, Xiao Yan's dark eyes were filled with a hint of mockery:

"It seems that King Wenxuan is not popular among the people!"

"When faced with life and death, some people are afraid of death."

Looking at Lin Kaiji with an unpredictable expression, Xiao Yun pondered for a while and then moved his gaze to Lin Zhaoyue:

"You can cooperate. Give me her antidote."

Lin Zhaoyue was like a puppet who had lost its soul at this moment. She stared blankly in the direction of Lin Yanzhi. In her confusion, there was a kind of heart-breaking and suppressed pain.

Knowing that her respected elder brother and third brother are all remnants of the previous dynasty, she must be feeling bad now!

Seeing the pain in Xiao Yun's eyes, Lin Kaiji tightened his grip on the medicine bottle, and then said nonchalantly:

"Remember to hide your weakness next time!"

Xiao Yun said nothing, took the medicine bottle and walked towards Lin Zhaoyue.

I don’t know what Lin Yanzhi said to Ye Qi, but after listening, he walked to the middle of Lin Kaiji’s team and shouted in a loud voice:

"My fellow soldiers, the prince has something to say:

The prince knows very well that you have followed the lord for many years and have deep feelings for him, but he has betrayed the Ye family and everyone. All of us have a blood feud with the Xiao family. Our parents, wives, children, brothers, and sisters were all killed by the Xiao family. Our relatives are buried deep underground and cannot rest in peace!

And Ye Yi has long become Xiao's running dog. He has forgotten the responsibilities he shoulders and our blood feud. He has forgotten, but we cannot forget!

The hatred for one's parents is irreconcilable. If one does not avenge the murder of one's wife and children, he would be unworthy of being a husband and a father.

We are all men of blood, not dogs that can be tricked away by giving them a bone.

Traitors will be killed without mercy, even if they are chased to the ends of the earth.

The prince promised that those who surrendered would not be killed, and when the great cause of restoring the country is accomplished, you will all enjoy endless wealth and splendor, luxury cars, jewels, and beauties for your enjoyment..."

In the crowd, someone loyal to Lin Kaiji angrily argued:

"My lord did not betray me..."

But before he could finish his words, a crossbow pierced his throat. Blood gushed out and all his sounds were stuck in his throat. His eyes widened and his body fell heavily to the snow.

Everyone was in an uproar, terrified, and the whole place was silent.

They looked in the direction where the crossbow was shot, and saw Lin Yanzhi sitting on the sedan chair with cold eyes. He watched everything coldly, as if he was looking at an insignificant ant.

"Who else wants to speak for the rebels?"

The voice was icy cold, sending chills down one's spine.

The whole place was silent, no one dared to speak.

Lin Yanzhi's voice continued:

"Those who surrender, I promise, will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future. Those who betray, die! Life or death, it is your choice."

A timid guard heard Lin Yanzhi's words and quickly ran to the team led by Lin Yanzhi.

Seeing someone make a choice, those who were already full of thoughts immediately followed.

Others hesitated and were pulled over by their companions.

"You are such a good fellow, Qian Sun. The young master is always very kind to us, why is it that even you are..."

Before the man could finish his words, Lin Yanzhi aimed the crossbow at him again and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

His body fell down limply.

The breath of death enveloped everyone. From then on, no one dared to speak or make a sound.

Most of Lin Kaiji's remaining troops defected on the spot, leaving less than a thousand people.

Xiao Yan walked to Lin Zhaoyue, poured the antidote into his palm, half-supported her, and put the pill to her mouth.

"Take the antidote first."

Her little face was terrifyingly pale and her eyes were empty, as if her soul had left her body and only a shell remained.

Lin Zhaoyue was very obedient at this moment. She did whatever he asked her to do, like a rag doll that could be manipulated at will, without a soul.

The warm tip of her tongue skillfully rolled away the medicine on his palm and swallowed the antidote raw.

At this moment, she was so fragile that she seemed like she would break at the slightest touch. Xiao Yun pursed his thin lips, stretched out his hands to hold her in his arms, stroking her back again and again, soothing her and coaxing her silently.

Feeling her trembling body, Xiao Yan said:

"It will feel better if you cry."

Lin Zhaoyue's nose felt sore, and she tried hard to hold back her tears. After she regained her strength, she pushed Xiao Yan away, held the long sword in her left hand, and walked to the middle of the two teams, pointing the long sword directly at Lin Yanzhi:

"Who are you? Where is my third brother?"

Lin Yanzhi looked at Lin Zhaoyue who rushed out, and a playful smile flashed in his eyes.

In fact, blood relationship is quite magical. Since childhood, she has been close to Lin Qingchen.

He still remembered when she was five years old. They went to visit the graves at that time and she picked a small bunch of wild flowers. He teased her and said that he wanted the flowers. As soon as he stretched out his hand, she looked at him warily, hid the flowers behind her back, and said softly but firmly: These flowers are for fourth brother.

He then asked, why not give it to the third brother? The third brother also wanted it.

She only answered with three words: You are not.

She was only five years old at that time, and he didn't think she knew the twists and turns involved, but at that moment, he wanted to kill her.

If her maid hadn't come looking for her, he would have probably pushed her off the mountain.

From then on, he consciously spoiled Lin Qingchen. As the saying goes, bad company corrupts mankind. She stuck to Lin Qingchen and indeed turned into a willful young lady who only knew how to enjoy herself, a fool and a waste.

He really found it puzzling that a fool who was not proficient in any of the arts, had no good qualities whatsoever, was not stunningly beautiful, had a slow brain, and was easily credulous could yet charm those two men so much.

"Zhao Zhao, what are you talking about? I'm your third brother!"

Lin Zhaoyue looked at him, gripping the hilt of the knife tightly, her eyes firm and filled with extreme resentment.

"You are not, who are you? Where did you take my third brother and eldest brother?"

Lin Yanzhi enjoyed other people's anger and pain. He looked at her and smiled more gently:

"What do you mean Third Brother or Big Brother? I am your Third Brother! Zhao Zhao, come over here, Third Brother."

Lin Zhaoyue remained unmoved.

Lin Yanzhi patiently and persuadingly.

"Zhao Zhao, come over here. Don't stay with those rebels. When my third brother ascends the throne, I will make you a princess. How about that?"

His face was full of ambition, desire and an extreme thirst for power.

Lin Zhaoyue looked at him and suddenly curled her lips:

"You don't look like a prince even when you put on the prince's uniform, and yet you still dream of climbing to the throne. What wishful thinking!"

Lin Yanzhi's face suddenly became gloomy, and he could no longer maintain his gentle appearance.

Lin Zhaoyue continued to laugh and said:

"No wonder, no wonder everything went so smoothly. Ever since I arrived at the border, you have been secretly setting up a trap and waiting for me to jump in! You have calculated everyone's thoughts and forced us to come here, thinking of catching Big Brother... No, your uncle and the third prince in one fell swoop, right?"

She was right.

Lin Yanzhi was not annoyed when he was exposed, but just said slowly:

"So what if I was the one who secretly fanned the flames? Even if you know now, what does it matter? Do you think you can get out alive?"

At this point, what does it matter if it’s exposed?

Today, they will all die here.

"Catch her!"

Lin Yanzhi gave the order in a deep voice.

If we catch her, we don't have to worry about whether the two of them will surrender obediently.

After receiving Lin Yanzhi's order, those people came towards Lin Zhaoyue aggressively, but before they touched the corner of her clothes, a fierce palm wind hit them and those people were directly knocked away.

Xiao Yan looked at the person opposite him, exchanged glances with Lin Kaiji, and ordered:

"kill."

"kill!"

After receiving the order, the two sides went from being at loggerheads and fighting to the death to being as one, showing an unprecedented unity.

Lin Kaiji's men knew that Xiao Yin's men had the magic weapon in their hands, so they felt confident and their morale was high. Coupled with the anger of being betrayed and abandoned, at this moment, they just wanted to fight to the death.

Those who stayed were those who were absolutely loyal to Lin Kaiji.

They were determined to die and were not afraid of life or death. They only wanted to kill one person to make up for their losses, and kill two people to make a profit.

Looking at the people attacking them, Lin Yanzhi said:

"Archers prepare."

The archers heard Lin Yanzhi's order, drew their arrows, put on the strings, and pulled their bows. Before the arrows were shot out, a black ball the size of a cow's eye fell at their feet. Before they could react, they heard a loud bang. In an instant, dust flew, flames shot up into the sky, and the huge impact caused by the thunder bead spread in all directions, bringing up a huge heat wave and hot wind, and the air was filled with smoke, which caused people and horses to fall to the ground.

The person closest to the Thunderbolt Pearl was blown beyond recognition and his original appearance could not be seen.

They were swept into the air by the heat wave and then fell heavily down. Screams, wails, fear and exclamations all intertwined into one, which was creepy.

"What the hell is that? It's horrible!"

Someone said in horror.

They had never seen the Thunderbolt Pearl before, and were still immersed in its powerful might.

The encirclement formed by 30,000 people began to tear a small crack when the first thunder bead exploded.

Lin Yanzhi looked at it and tightened his hands on the armrest of the sedan chair.

Ye Qi said beside him:

"Crown Prince, what the Third Prince just threw was a divine weapon. If we own this divine weapon, mass-produce it, and use it on the battlefield, we will be invincible!"

Artifact?

Lin Yanzhi looked at those people who were lying on the ground dead or wailing, his eyes flashing with greed, excitement, and a kind of madness that wanted to destroy the world.

He looked at Xiao Yan opposite him and ordered:

"Capture the Third Prince and Second Miss Lin alive. As for the others, kill them all!"
