If he wants to survive this palace examination, Lu Yu has to plan too many things.
With the patrols of these soldiers, the entire Lingzhou City has indeed calmed down a lot. All forces are secretly staying still and intend to watch the fire from the other side.
But in fact, there was already an undercurrent surging.
Lingzhou, Lin Mansion.
This mansion is located in the south of Lingzhou Mansion, surrounded by a city. The entire mansion is luxuriously decorated, and the landscape inside is even more magnificent, making it even more luxurious.
The owner of the mansion is Lin Xian, the magistrate of Lingzhou Prefecture.
When Lingzhou pastoralists were in seclusion, Lin Xian exercised the power of state pastoralists on behalf of the state, which could be said to be that one person was inferior to ten thousand people.
On this day, Lin Xian summoned his cronies to plot in a secret room as usual.
Ever since Lin Xian and Lu Yu had a disagreement in court, Lin Xian never went to the Yamen again.
It's just that Lin Xian has been operating in Lingzhou Prefecture for many years. Even after breaking up with Zhou Mu, he still has countless cronies following him. His power is still spread throughout Lingzhou.
In the secret room of Lin Mansion, dozens of people gathered, all of whom Lin Xian trusted the most.
"Have you seen the military recruitment order announced by Zhou Mu in the past few days?" Lin Xian looked around.
All the confidants nodded. The recruitment order was posted everywhere, and almost everyone in Lingzhou City knew about it.
"I heard that Mr. Zhou Mu has emptied his entire family because of this matter. He also used the Lingzhou government's treasury to recruit at least 100,000 people." A close aide suddenly said.
Lin Xian's cronies have all kinds of spies scattered throughout Lingzhou City. They are aware of any trouble.
Another confidant said: "So, Mr. Zhou Mu is out of skills and plans to use his numerical advantage to fight against the evil sect? Even if he evacuates all the people in Lingzhou Prefecture, he may not be able to withstand the opponent's attack."
"Zhou Mu's method is still too naive. Lingzhou will fall sooner or later if he has it in his hands."
A group of cronies shook their heads. They all knew that Lin Xian and Zhou Mu had had a quarrel before. Now they were crazily belittling Lu Yu just to speak up for Lin Xian.
Lin Xian pondered for a moment: "If Lingzhou City is destroyed, what should we do?"
This time, everyone was silent.
Regardless of the fierce fight between Lin Xian and Zhou Mu, if the city gate is breached, Lin Xian will probably suffer as well.
With the character of the Blood Demon Sect, as long as you are serving in the government, how can they care whether you have fallen out with the state pastor before? It is only right to kill them all.
When the time comes, Lin Xian, who is followed by these people, will not end well.
"Then, how about we surrender? Now that the entire city is closed, if we surrender first, the other party will definitely take care of us." A close confidant suggested.
Everyone present turned their attention to Lin Xian.
It's up to Lin Xian to decide what to do.
Lin Xian remained silent.
If in the past, someone dared to say such rebellious words in front of him, he would probably be reprimanded.
But now, Lin Xian also has to consider the future, his future wealth, life and future.
"Surrender is not impossible, but I don't know if there is anyone outside the city who can respond." Lin Xian said in a deep voice.
When the other cronies heard what Lin Xian said, they couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.
This matter is finally done.
As for contacting the outside world, it is too easy. These people have many eyes and ears, so they naturally have ways to contact the evil cultivators lurking in Lingzhou City.
