Twin Space: The Evil King Should Never Think of Taking the Throne

Chapter 174 is the key to breaking the deadlock

Dongfang Xiang suddenly felt that his work as the owner of the manor for so many years was meaningless after hearing Yun Nian's words. He was just a tool given by his parents to help them carry the responsibilities. What he wanted to thank most now was his sister who shared a lot of affairs with him, and Lin Yinian who was about to become his wife.

He had made up his mind that when his uncle arrived, he would immediately set off to find Lin Yinian. After they got married, he would first have an heir, whether a boy or a girl. Then, after twelve or thirteen years, he could let go and live a godly life.

Having made up his mind, Master Dongfang Manor happily watched everyone leave.

In a small courtyard in Jinzhou City, the old Duke and everyone in the Lin Mansion were placed inside. Because of the relationship with the emperor, they were treated specially and were not imprisoned in the prison.

With the old Duke's skills, it would be easy for him to leave, but he had to take care of his two sons and their families, and wait silently for his grandson to accomplish what he wanted to do.

Because of his constant admonition, his two sons were particularly quiet, and although his daughter-in-law sometimes complained, she dared not let him hear it. This made his life simpler and easier.

On this day, the moonlight was cold and the wind was blowing mixed with resentment. Suddenly, the lights in the old duke's room flickered violently and two figures flew over and arrived in front of his desk in an instant.

The old Duke was painting a plum blossom picture with his head down. Feeling the flickering of the candlelight and the change in his breath, he finished the rest of the painting with a few strokes without looking up, and then he put down his pen and looked up.

"You're visiting me late at night, is there something wrong?"

Yun Ling and Dongfang Yu felt relieved when they saw the old Duke enjoying himself. The uncle's calm demeanor remained unchanged. However, Yun Ling still wanted to make some jokes before getting down to business.

"Uncle, you seem to be more comfortable here than in Muyun Hongxue Garden?"

The woman in white spoke with a faint smile, her eyes moving with a myriad of charm. The old Duke made a gesture to the two men, and they sat down on the chairs beside them.

"There is nothing you can do even if you are unhappy. Ziqiao has posed a problem to the Lin family and also to the current emperor. However, if this problem is used well, it may be the key to breaking the deadlock."

Yun Ling raised her eyebrows. Her uncle was right. The key to breaking the impasse was indeed Lin Ziqiao's unexpected move. However, it was not easy to accomplish this.

"Uncle, Ling'er came here this time to teach you how to defeat the enemy."

Under the light, the three men discussed for a long time. The old Duke went from frowning to nodding, then to sighing, and finally he slammed the table to settle the matter.

Next, Yun Ling and Dongfang Yu stood up and said goodbye.

"Uncle, I'm sorry for inconvenience to you and the Lin family. Second Senior Brother said there will be a big reward in the future. Besides, Ling'er can't stand bloody scenes, so she won't participate."

"If you don't participate, the Central Plains is so big, where are you going to go?"

Yun Ling just smiled and said nothing, while Dongfang Yu answered the old Duke's questions.

"Uncle, the fallen leaves return to their roots. The children have grown up and have become wild. Ling'er and I are going to be the housekeepers."

"Return to the Cloud Clan?"

Seeing that the old Duke was full of longing when he mentioned the Yun Clan, the two of them shook their heads silently and said:

"Go back to the villa."

"Xiao Qi has a wild personality and likes to travel around. After you go back, ask Dongfang Xiang to take good care of Xiao Qi. If you want to get married, you can let Brother Zheng, the Poison King, officiate the wedding."

"Okay, but Xiaoqi and the others are almost in Jinzhou."

"Stop them!"

"it is good."

Yun Ling readily agreed to the old duke's request, bowed to him, and then jumped out of the window with Dongfang Yu, and left the courtyard at full speed.

After the two men left, the dragon guards stood at their posts in an orderly manner, their faces all looked a little unhappy. Although the two men greeted them before entering the door, their stealthy movements meant that even if they didn't greet them, they wouldn't have noticed. In this way, greeting them seemed like a naked provocation.

"I don't know what the relationship between these two people and His Majesty is? Entering the palace is like strolling in a garden. Can they see the wanted criminals casually?"

A dragon guard muttered quietly, but heard someone who knew the situation whispered:

"Don't forget, His Majesty has been in the martial arts world for more than ten years and has made many friends there."

Many dragon guards nodded, and also poked their heads in the direction of the emperor's secret guards. Although the dragon guards were nominally higher in rank and salary than the emperor's secret guards, their skills were not as good as the secret guards, so they felt inferior to the secret guards when they met.

On the second day, the courtyard was surrounded by a large group of people, led by a newly appointed deputy commander of the imperial guards, named Zhang. He came with an imperial edict, which meant to escort the Lin family to Tianjing City for questioning.

The man came with a threatening attitude, and showed no respect for the old Duke's family, and wanted to take them to the prison van without any explanation. The Dragon Guards had to show up at this time, but unfortunately, as soon as they showed up, Deputy Commander Zhang took out a token and ordered the Dragon Guards to escort the old Duke back to the capital without any mistakes.

When the old Duke saw Zhang, he knew that things had reached a point where they were beyond redemption, so he signaled to the Lin family not to cause trouble and got on the prison van first.

It was a very cold winter day. Although everyone was well dressed, it was still very cold sitting in the prison van. The eldest and second aunts shivered in the cold, but they dared not show their resentment and could only endure it silently.

It takes several days to get from Jinzhou to Tianjing City, and they still have to endure. The secret guards of the retired emperor did not show up. The retired emperor had already instructed them to try not to conflict with the dragon guards and the emperor's people, and just protect the good people.

The old Duke and his party were taken to the prison van, but two hours later, Yun Yiduo and his party arrived at the courtyard. When they saw the empty courtyard, they were disappointed.

"It seems that things have changed!"

Cen Song walked around the courtyard and didn't find anything. He came to Yun Feiyang and whispered.

"Ok!"

Yun Feiyang nodded lightly, feeling a little contempt for his brother. Why did he despise him? Because he wanted to pretend to be deaf to get a wife, and in order to cooperate with his brother, he had to pretend to be deaf as well.

But my brother was not reliable, and the matter was exposed the next day, causing him to be glared at by his future sister-in-law. Even his identity as a member of the Yun clan did not allow him to receive any preferential treatment.

Now, the fourth and seventh sisters were so sad that they shed tears because the Lin family was taken away, and they could only chase them and comfort them at the same time.

The prisoner car was moving slowly. After chasing for more than two hours, they finally saw the prisoner car on the official road. It was a cold day, and everyone felt bad watching their grandfather, parents and relatives suffering in the car. But as soon as they approached the prisoner car, they were stopped by the secret guards of the retired emperor.

"Gentlemen and ladies, please stay and don't come any closer."

"I will take good care of the old Duke. Gentlemen and ladies, please do not embarrass me."

Being stopped by the secret guards, everyone had no choice but to watch from afar. However, it was freezing cold, and the people in the car were quite old. Who could be at ease?

"Uncles, the weather is extremely cold. Can we send some pills to our relatives to strengthen their health?"

Yun Yido had no choice but to take out some good medicine prepared in the space.
