My enemies became my companions

Chapter 73 The Emperor Becomes an Immortal

The Lin family suddenly sent out a large group of servants to search everywhere, but no one knew who they were looking for, and this caused quite a stir.

However, Wu Qingsheng managed to escape from the Lin Mansion safely.

Chen Yi and Lin Yan waited patiently in the Lin Mansion.

"Soon, Wu Qingsheng will lead people to find the whereabouts of the second volume of the Spring and Autumn Register,"

As he spoke, Lin Yan placed the first volume of the Spring and Autumn Register into the brazier.

Black smoke rose, and the list of names of half of the warriors above the fifth rank in the capital was burned to ashes bit by bit.

"Captain Chen, you have made an invaluable contribution to this cause. When the mission is accomplished, what will you wish for?"

Lin Yan sat down and held the cup of tea that his wife had ordered in front of Chen Yi with both hands.

Chen Yi took the tea bowl and took a sip, then said with a smile:

"It's too early to say anything about this at this point."

"The situation is set. We must act quickly. The demon queen has not noticed yet. Even if she did, she has no one to act. The poetry society has locked up all the civil and military officials in my Lin Mansion. She has no room for maneuver. In this case, Captain Chen might as well give me a definite answer first so that I can make preparations later."

Chen Yi laughed and said:
"I love to live my life. I don't seek excessive fame or wealth. I just worry that too much is as bad as too little. But... there is one thing I have to ask for."

Hearing this, Lin Yan sneered in his heart, but said kindly and warmly:

"I'm not afraid to say it myself, but I'm afraid the only thing Qianhu wants is... sex. I've heard of Qianhu's reputation as a playboy."

Chen Yi smiled but said nothing.

I only heard Lin Yan jokingly flattering:
"It is often said that a good girl marries a good man, and a good man marries nine wives. But in my opinion, Captain Chen is a martial arts expert who can fight a hundred men alone, so he should marry nine hundred wives."

"I love you very much, but... I'm afraid I don't have the luck to have nine hundred wives."

Chen Yi paused, and looked at the young lady from the Lin family who was drinking tea in a dignified and gentle manner. She also covered her mouth and chuckled. Her appearance was no longer as dull as before, but more lively.

Lin Wanheng felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by him and stopped laughing.

A chill flashed across her husband's eyes.

"You are so pretty, I wonder if you have any sisters in your family?"

When Chen Yi said this, he saw that Lin Wanlang's negative emotions increased visibly.

This graceful and elegant girl has a very thin skin and her eyes are bright red.

Lin Yan said calmly:
"My mother's family has quite a few sisters, all of them are beautiful. If Qian Hu has any requests, I will be your matchmaker even if it means losing face. If you marry a girl into the mansion, you and I will be brothers."

"That's great, then we can call each other brothers from now on?"

Chen Yi smiled and clasped his fists.

Lin Yan's expression softened a bit and he said, "Of course."

"Then," Chen Yi clasped his fists and said, "Brother Lin."

Lin Yan's face froze. He was twenty-seven years old at the time, five years older than the captain. After a while, he held back and forced a smile:

"Brother Chen."

Chen Yi turned around and glanced at his cheap sister-in-law.

Seeing her husband being humiliated, the young lady of the Lin family also felt ashamed and looked at him angrily.

Chen Yi stared at her with a smile.

Lin Wanheng felt numb from being stared at. She was used to treating her husband with respect, so she cursed him in anger in her heart, but on the surface, she could only gently and tactfully call out:
"Uncle."

[Lin Wanheng's negative emotions are rewarded with ten years of true energy. ]

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

Following the actions of the Western Camp of the Imperial Guards, chaos broke out near the Qiandeng Temple, and a large number of Taoist priests from the Shangqing Dao and Yinjian Mountain were taken under control.

Min Ning led Yin Tingxue and, as Chen Yi had said, they passed through the alleys, avoiding the imperial guards along the way.

What Chen Yi wanted her to do was simple - find an opportunity to contact the people from the Western Factory.

During the whole abdication, Chen Yi seemed to have sided with the Lin Party, but also seemed to be still on the side of the royal family. Min Ning couldn't figure out what his real purpose was. Maybe he wanted to bet on both sides, or maybe he really only helped himself as he said.

But Min Ning was very clear about one thing, she just needed to do what Chen Yi said. After crossing an alley and turning a corner, Min Ning hurriedly headed towards the direction of Donghuamen.

Suddenly, an old and crazy voice came through the alley.

"The emperor has become an immortal! The emperor has become an immortal after killing three corpses!"

Min Ning froze for a moment.

That voice...she was so familiar with it!

That's her grandfather!
Yin Tingxue saw Min Ning frozen in place. She didn't understand why and shook Min Ning's arm.

Min Ning came back to his senses, his legs trembling, and subconsciously, he pulled Yin Tingxue and rushed out.

After turning several alleys and approaching the sound, he finally stopped in a wide alley. Min Ning looked up and saw a ghost with white hair and a murderous aura. He was shouting crazily and repeating similar words.

"The dharma of immortality has been found. The emperor has killed the three corpses and become an immortal!"

"It is a blessing for us, and the grace of heaven is immense! The emperor has returned to the heavens!"

Min He’s ghost kept shouting, his eyes turning white.

"grandfather!"

Min Ning screamed.

The old ghost paused visibly, turned his head, and looked at Min Ning with dull eyes.

A gleam of clarity flashed across his eyes.

"go!"

Min Ning was stunned for a moment.

Behind her, two footsteps were heard.

The nun walked into the alley slowly, holding a whisk in her hand, as if she had ascended to heaven. In front of her, the white-clothed swordsman Xue Chengdong approached with a smile on his face, holding a three-foot sword in his hand.

Min Ning turned his head stiffly, realizing that this was a trap, and gnashed his teeth and said:
"It's you... Yin Xiangu."

Yin Weiying smiled indifferently and said:

"Your grandfather really did lead you here."

As she spoke, the nun glanced at the girl led by Min Ning with surprise in her eyes.

"I didn't expect... that she was the daughter of King Xiang."

The women in the royal palaces in the capital often interacted with each other, and Yin Weiying had once met the daughter of King Xiang.

Yin Tingxue looked up at the nun and recognized her:

"Sister Wei Ying?"

"You still remember me."

Yin Weiying smiled and said:
“Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you, but… why are you in Min Yuechi’s hands?”

"I…"

Before Yin Tingxue could answer, the wise woman guessed the answer.

"Captain Chen once took a maid away from the palace... I'm afraid that was not the maid, but you."

The truth was revealed, and Min Ning stared at Yin Weiying with murderous intent.

The swordsman in white took a step forward, his sword still unsheathed, but the waves of sword power in it forced Min Ning to take a step back.
The old ghost sensed the murderous intent directed at his relatives, and roared ferociously and hoarsely, rushing forward as if holding an invisible blade.

Xue Chengdong's eyes flashed, and the sword was about to be unsheathed.

The moment they made contact, Min He passed straight through him.

Xue Chengdong was stunned for a moment, Yin Weiying laughed, she raised her hand and made a gesture, restrained the ghost with one hand, and chanted a spell. Min He's ghost let out a heart-wrenching scream, and the eyes that had originally shown a hint of clarity became confused again.

"Yin Weiying!"

Min Ning's eyes turned red and he drew his sword.
