My enemies became my companions

Chapter 70 Why is there another one?
"We are here to attend a poetry reading, what are you doing?!"

"Master Lin, Master Lin, please give me an explanation!"

"Disrespectful! What are you doing? What are you doing?"

At some point, a group of sturdy servants surrounded the lobby of the Lin Mansion, and all the doors were blocked. The officials present were terrified, as they had never expected such a change to happen.

Chen Yi folded his arms across his chest and watched the scene silently.

No one could have imagined that a poetry gathering would suddenly turn into a palace coup. Nearly 70% of the court officials in the capital were besieged in the Lin Mansion. When the court was held tomorrow, the Fengtian Hall would be empty.

There was a lot of noise in the hall. Elder Lin, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, frowned, as if he had not expected the change today at all. He shouted:
"Where's Yan'er? Call Yan'er over! Ask him to explain it to me!"

Before the servants could rush to find Lin Yan, the figure of the Second Young Master Lin appeared in the lobby, escorted by several experts.

Chen Yi took a quick glance and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Among them, there was actually a third-grade master.

The man had a pale face and was dressed in black, like the Black Impermanence who lures people to hell. His murderous aura shocked the shouting civil servants into shutting up.

It seems that Lin Yan has some confidence in forcing the emperor to abdicate.

But... I have never encountered this plot before...

Chen Yi sank into deep thought. No matter which time, he had never encountered the plot of the Lin family forcing the emperor to abdicate. It was as if this plot had never existed before.

"Don't panic, everyone. Today's action is just a last resort."

Lin Yan bowed to everyone.

Seeing Lin Yan appear, the atmosphere in the hall relaxed, and Lin Yan took out the pre-prepared manifesto and said loudly:

"I think that our Great Yu Taizu founded the country with virtue and made the four seas submit. The previous emperor was wise and benevolent, and there was already a sign of revival. However, the government is now in a mess, and there is a lot to be done. If we trace it back to the root, the culprit is none other than the foreign relatives, and the cause of the disaster is none other than the Jingren Palace..."

Chen Yi scratched his ears. He was not used to listening to such impassioned speeches.

Whether it is the Lin Party or the Ding'an Party, in essence, they are just fighting for power and profit. The difference is that the Ding'an Party is more concerned about its reputation and cares more about the people of the world. Chen Yi has a good impression of good officials and good people, but he has no good impression of both parties.

After Lin Yan finished his impassioned speech, the hall fell silent for a moment. A storm of refutation seemed to be brewing. At this moment, Lin Yan slowly reminded:
"My family members must still be visiting the garden to enjoy the flowers."

As soon as these words were spoken, the momentum that had gathered was instantly extinguished, and Lin Yan also promptly asked everyone to sign the manifesto and jointly write a letter to force the emperor to abdicate.

........................

After controlling the ministers, Lin Yan led Chen Yi to a side room.

In the side room, Lin Wanheng was ordering tea. She said nothing, just ordered tea for the two of them.

"Captain Chen, I'll leave everything to you."

Lin Yan bowed and said,
"Now you just need to control the East Factory, and this good deed will surely be accomplished."

Chen Yi seemed absent-minded, his eyes wandering, mostly on Lin Yan, and occasionally on Lin Wanheng.

The young lady of the Lin family has a dignified and graceful demeanor, and her eyes are naturally gentle. Chen Yi always feels that she looks plain. Staring at her forehead, he finally knows the reason: without the plum blossom makeup, if three plum petals were added to her snow-like forehead, her originally plain appearance would be enriched. Otherwise, unless you stare closely at a certain part of her facial features, once you look at her as a whole, you will feel that her appearance is lonely.

Lin Wanheng was glanced at by the strange man from time to time, her ears turned red, and she felt disgusted. She intuitively felt that this man was ridiculous and rude, but she remained silent on the surface.

Chen Yi turned his eyes to Lin Yan and said:
"Sir, your plan is good, but... relying on the East Factory alone may not necessarily make the evil queen return power and abdicate. She also has the West Factory and the Magpie Pavilion under her control."

Lin Yan's expression flickered when he heard this, and he said:

"Of course, I am not a man of courage but no strategy. Half a month ago, the Western Camp of the Imperial Guards agreed to join us in the cause, and two months ago, the King of Annan in the south accepted my request and vowed to make the Demon Queen abdicate. If my calculations are correct, the King of Annan has already led his troops to Yuyong City and will be able to reach the capital within seven days."

Chen Yi nodded when he heard this. Even the King of Annan had been invited, so it seemed that the Lin Mansion was determined to win this time.

The King of Annan guards the south of Dayu. He is one of the only two vassal kings of a different surname in Dayu, and has 30,000 elite soldiers under his command.

He used a poetry meeting as an excuse to gather all the officials at the Lin Mansion, requested the Western Camp of the Imperial Guards and the king of a different surname to send troops, and colluded with the donkey-headed prince, one of the three great demons. Finally, he sent himself to take charge of the East Factory. He controlled both political and military power. The Lin Mansion's plan this time was very detailed.

"Second Master Lin, I only have one question to ask you. Is this event...really what Elder Lin wanted?"

Chen Yifa asked.

"Since Captain Chen has asked this question, I will treat it with sincerity. This matter has nothing to do with my father. It is my personal wish."

Lin Yan wanted to win him over, and since there was no one around, he told him everything:

"The evil queen has disrupted the government and committed crimes. My Lin family has worked hard for the court, but she wants to hide her good bows after the birds have flown away! Now that my father is still alive, she is reopening the case of the prime minister. The King of Xiang is a lesson for us. If we don't seize this opportunity, once my father dies, the Lin family will repeat the same mistakes!"

Chen Yi nodded slightly, but was not infected by Lin Yan's enthusiasm.

Seeing this, Lin Yan realized the crux of the problem—Chen Yi had received favors from the Queen Mother.

Then he blurted out a secret:

"Captain Chen, have you ever thought about why the Queen Mother wants to use you?"

"What you mean is..." Chen Yi raised his eyebrows.

"Have you ever heard of... the Chen family of Jin?"

Lin Yan asked.

Of course Chen Yi had heard of the Chen family of Jin State, and then he immediately realized something was wrong.

Lin Yan slowly pointed out:
"In the sixteenth year of Qingying, the Western Jin attacked our Dayu Luoyong City and slaughtered all the old, young, and children in the city, including... the An family. Captain Chen, the Queen Mother appointed you not because of your loyalty to the country, but because you are her enemy, and she wants to use her enemy to wipe out the entire Chen family of Jin in the near future! To avenge her blood feud!"

After hearing these words, Chen Yi's expression finally changed and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Lin Yan felt that this truth was enough to make all the thousand households turn against him.

But for some reason, he felt a vague sense of uncertainty.

"In other words, she and I have... a blood feud?"

Chen Yi asked slowly.

Become!

Lin Yan clenched his fist.

I persuaded this opportunistic captain of the Western Factory! The Queen's fate is near...

Above the lotus pond, Zhou Yitang seemed to sense something.

“It’s very fast.”

Yin Tingxue looked at Zhou Yitang in confusion.

"What action?"

"Force the Queen Mother to abdicate." Zhou Yitang said casually, "The Lin family wants to force the Queen Mother to abdicate."

After hearing this, Yin Tingxue was stunned.

"How dare they...force the evil queen to abdicate..."

Then she realized something.
"Have you known this for a long time?"

"Yes." Zhou Yitang did not deny.

"Why...why do you know?" Yin Tingxue kept asking.

"Because... I am also in it."

The one-armed woman said calmly.

This was one of the steps she planned with Yu Zhen Yuan Jun.

She will get Chen Yi after he killed the three corpses, and Yu Zhen Yuanjun will get a direct disciple who understands what true Tai Shang Wang Qing is. They will both... get what they need.

After hearing the words of the one-armed woman, no matter how dumb the Xiang King's daughter was, she knew that Zhou Yitang's origin was definitely extraordinary. In addition, since she only had one arm, her identity was self-evident.

"You, you are... you must be..."

Yin Tingxue was a little incoherent, and she was shocked to realize that she had dreamed of this woman.

"Daoist name: Tongxuan."

The one-armed woman said calmly.

Even though she had expected it, Yin Tingxue was still shocked.

After coming to her senses, Yin Tingxue couldn't help but curse Chen Yi in her heart.

That evil guy!

Why would he pick on Yinjianshan Jianjia when he could pick on anyone else? !

Yin Tingxue really wanted to grab Chen Yi by the ears and scold him.

She tried to think about it and found that it was more likely that Chen Yi pulled her ears and bullied her... She was so scared that she didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"It's time to send you back. I left a sword in you to protect you."

Hearing Zhou Yitang's words, Yin Tingxue thought of the time when she pressed on her head.

It turned out that at that time, Jian Jia left the sword intent on her body.

"Thank you..." Yin Tingxue said gratefully.

"No need, just for his sake, he cares about you."

Zhou Yitang said softly.

Yin Tingxue was somewhat flattered when she heard this, but after thinking about it, she relaxed.
Then, she thought of something and said:
"Can you save the sword power for one more person?"

"Why?" Zhou Yitang frowned.

"Chen Yi also...cares about her."

As he spoke, Yin Tingxue turned around and pointed toward the shore.

The heroic woman dressed as a man came into view. Zhou Jianjia's face darkened and he said in a cold voice:
"Why is there another one?"

She felt more and more that his three corpses...had to be killed.
