Chapter 1557: Blood Flowing Like a River in the Prison!
Translator: Lonelytree
The moment these men in black entered the cell, they picked up their sabres and reaped one life after another like the Grim Reaper holding a scythe.
Lin Laosan’s family members lying on the ground could not even cry for help. They could only widen their eyes and look at a sharp sabre stabbing into their chests!
As for the villagers of Lin Family Village, they were in the same situation.
The only difference was that they could speak.
“Who are you?” The villagers of Lin Family Village looked at these people in horror.
They did not think that these people were here to save them at all.
They knew very well that from the moment they knelt in front of His Majesty and told His Majesty the information, they had betrayed those people.
Therefore, it was very likely that these masked men in black with large knives were here to silence them. Therefore, they were terrified.
As expected…
A man in black who seemed to be the leader said coldly,” You can ask King Yama!”
Then, he harvested the lives of these people one by one, just like how he harvested the lives of Lin Laosan’s family!
In the time for half an incense stick to burn, Lin Laosan’s Family and the villagers of Lin Family Village had all lost their lives in prison.
However, just as these men in black were about to leave the prison, a ghost-like cold voice sounded in their ears.
He said,” Everyone, we’ve been waiting!’
When these men in black saw the person who was blocking them, their pupils constricted violently. Then, the leader of the men in black roared,” Let’s fight it out!”
That night, the citizens of the capital did not know that blood was flowing like a river in the imperial prison!
The wine tasting was in full swing. At this moment, Eunuch Zhang hurried over and whispered a few words into Yuwen Longyan’s ear.
Yuwen Longyan’s sharp eyes narrowed slightly when he heard that. However,
there was anger hidden in his eyes.
It was Lin Yuelan’s wine-tasting party.
After that, Yuwen Longyan called Lin Yuelan over and said,” Little girl!’ Lin Yuelan walked over and asked,” Your Majesty, what’s the matter?”
Yuwen Longyan said,” Girl, I’m a little tired. I’ll go back to the palace first!”
Lin Yuelan nodded and said,” Alright, Your Majesty. You can go back first and rest early!’
After that, Yuwen Longyan instructed the Crown Prince to entertain the guests well. After bidding farewell to the diplomatic missions of the various countries, he left the banquet with Eunuch Zhang.
Xiao Jingrui looked at Yuwen Longyan’s back as he left. His eyes darkened, and then he asked the waiter to pour him some wine as if nothing had happened. He swirled the glass, then walked to Lin Yuelan and said with a smile,” Princess, why didn’t I see the general accompanying you?”
He was clearly still there before.
However, after the time it took for two incense sticks to burn, he still did not appear. He could not help but feel a little suspicious.
Lin Yuelan smiled and said,” He doesn’t like these complicated banquets. He went upstairs to rest!”
Xiao Jingrui listened and frowned slightly. Then he smiled and said,” It seems that the general’s feelings for the princess are nothing more than this. Just because he didn’t like crowds, he could let the princess entertain the guests alone?”
His words were very provocative.
Then, he said unexpectedly,” If it were me, I would definitely accompany the princess every step of the way!” This was a blatant confession.
However, Lin Yuelan smiled and said,” Then I really have to thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. Unfortunately, I don’t need it! You should save it for those who need it!” In other words, she did not need his company.
Xiao Jingrui just frowned slightly, expressing his displeasure, but he didn’t say anything.
After that, Lin Yuelan called for a waiter to serve him and found an excuse to leave.
After the wine tasting, Lin Yuelan chose some partners. As for the diplomatic corps of the four countries, Lin Yuelan gave them some wine and negotiated some agreements with them.
These wines would be shipped to their countries. As for the agent, they could choose it themselves, but they had to get Lin Yuelan’s approval.
The other four countries did not have any objections.
After all, they were the ones who would choose the agents in their own countries, which gave them a lot of leeway.
This way, Lin Yuelan could be prevented from acting as a spy.
They would definitely for the best outcome for their own country’s people.
Of course, the matter of the foreign agents would become an internal matter of the foreign royal family. Lin Yuelan could only wait for the results.
These diplomatic corps knew very well that Lin Yuelan was giving them a mountain of gold.
Whoever the gold mountain was given to became a matter of power struggle within the royal family.
If they rejected Lin Yuelan, it would be equivalent to rejecting this golden mountain.
Thus, after returning to their countries, their imperial courts had to go through a discussion.
This was because this golden mountain might escalate some factional struggles!
