Duke Wei grabbed the hilt of his sword and looked at Chen Lan with a determined killing intent.
"you you"
Chen Lan used all her strength to turn her head and opened her mouth with disbelief.
Before he could finish speaking, he fell to the ground and soon lost his breath.
Li Lin just looked at everything in front of him indifferently, because it was all under his control.
On the night of his return, he went to see Duke Wei Han Qian, told him the current situation in detail, and asked for his help.
Duke Wei is stationed at the border all the year round, and the one in the court is not as full-fledged as the other two. Generally speaking, there is less risk of being overtaken by his subordinates in yellow robes.
Moreover, Duke Wei's troops rarely fought against Lin Zhiguo, so it would be difficult for them to cooperate, so it would be safer to find him than the two of them.
Last but not least, Duke Wei was able to maintain strict military discipline in the Southern Army despite widespread corruption and eroded military discipline in the Jin Kingdom. This shows that he has the heart to serve the country and the people.
When Li Lin found Duke Wei, the two talked all night long. Although Duke Wei did not agree directly, he also stated that he would help Li Lin in times of danger.
It is now time for Duke Wei to fulfill his promise.
"Han Qian! Do you know what you are doing?"
Li Dang, who was relatively calm at first, couldn't sit still after seeing Han Qian kill Chen Lan with one sword, and immediately stood up to question.
"What are you doing? Chen Lan is forcing the palace, and even intends to assassinate the king. I am just protecting him!"
Han Qian had no intention of retreating and immediately retorted.
"Well said! As expected of me, Daxia Zhushi!"
Li Lin then stood up for Han Qian. At this time, among the four highest-ranking military commanders, one committed suicide and apologized for failing to rebel, one assassinated the king and killed him in public, and one had already been subdued by him. Now he would just go all out to bring down Li Dang.
Completely controlled Daxia's military.
"Dong An Guo, you and Duke Li forced His Majesty into the palace, attempted to disrupt our imperial court, and colluded with Linzhi's traitors. You should be punished for your crime. Do you have anything to say?"
Now Li Lin still had a lot of things to deal with, and he didn't have much time to quarrel with Li Dang at this time, so he immediately listed Li Dang's crimes as if he were pouring beans.
"His Highness is really good at it. Now I have nothing to say. Is it important? But! You have to know that I am a relative of the Emperor. Without Your Majesty's will, what can you do to me?"
Li Dang knew that he had fallen into Li Lin's hands this time, but he did not think that he would die. As the brother of the old emperor and Li Lin's uncle, he was not someone who could be killed just by the regent.
.
"Cough... cough cough cough cough..."
The old emperor coughed suddenly, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on the old emperor.
"Li Lin, come here..."
The old emperor had been seriously poisoned and was obviously going to die. If Li Lin hadn't sent seven doctors to force him to breathe again, Daxia would have been in mourning by now.
Just now, Chen Lan and Li Dang were so angry that the old emperor was in a really worrying state.
"Father, my son and minister are here."
Li Lin stepped forward with some worry in his eyes.
"Am I a wise king?"
The old emperor's eyes were full of unwillingness at this time. He just wanted to hear what his son said about him.
"Hey...Father..."
Li Lin looked at the old man on the bed, at the emperor who was once ambitious and devoted himself to the Great Xia, and wanted to praise him, but... Li Lin knew that the current old emperor did not want to listen to his flattery.
.
"Hahaha, that's all. Li Lin takes the order."
The old emperor forced himself to do it, but his hands were completely unable to use the strength.
Just as Li Lin stepped forward to help him, he heard the old emperor's voice asking him to accept the order.
He had no choice but to step back and kneel aside, and the others also knelt down.
Jixiang stepped forward to help the old emperor up and put a pillow behind the old emperor, which might make the old emperor feel a little more comfortable.
"I accept the order."
Li Lin knelt down respectfully. This might be the last time he received an imperial edict from the old emperor.
"The Duke of An, Li Dang, and the Duke of Li, Chen Lan, forced the palace to usurp the throne. I feel very sad. I have ordered the regent Li Lin to take full charge of this matter and kill the leader of the thieves. We cannot tolerate it. Duke Han Qian of the Guard is here to assist."
Li Dang's heart was completely cold when he heard this decree. He was puzzled.
"Why! Why! Your Majesty, you worked hard to get this position from a group of brothers back then. Why have you given up so completely now!"
"Ahem, cough, cough, fifth brother, I want to be a wise king..."
The old emperor looked at Li Dang, and his mind went back to the time when he had sworn to become the Mingjun Holy Lord when he was the heir.
"I... obey your order."
Li Lin glanced at the old emperor blankly. This old emperor really surprised him. He did not expect that the old emperor could wake up in his old age like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
"I kill you."
Li Dang did suddenly get angry and instantly drew his sword and stabbed Li Lin. Li Lin was still stunned and did not react.
It was the second time today that he saw a long sword approaching his face, but this time Li Lin was obviously not as calm as last time, because neither the old emperor nor Li Dang's reaction was what he expected.
"boom!"
The sound of metal colliding sounded.
"Puff puff!"
The machine spring vibrated, and three crossbow arrows shot from outside the door, piercing directly into Li Dang's body.
"Your Highness! Your rescue is too late!"
Haicheng stood at the door with a pair of forbidden soldiers, saluting Li Lin from a distance. They came to report the interrogation results of Li Lin, who was from Linzhi. After all, it was within the palace, and the movement of secret guards was not as convenient as the forbidden troops, so they let Haicheng brought the letter.
Haicheng happened to see this scene and immediately ordered to shoot arrows, thus saving Li Lin.
"Ah, hoo... There is no need to be polite, General Hai. I will definitely repay you for saving your life."
Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he should still prepare some life-saving means, otherwise he might not be able to survive the next time he encounters such a situation.
"Huh, General Hai, please send people first to drag down the bodies of these two thieves, behead them, and make their crimes known to the world."
"Follow orders."
Haicheng saw that Li Lin didn't have time to listen to his report yet, so he took someone to deal with it himself.
