Chapter five hundred and ninety-ninth, the hand of the emperor
Seeing this, Lin Dongyun's attacks became more fierce.
When the extraordinary fifth-level warrior saw this, he immediately flew back without hesitation.
However, Lin Dongyun gave him no chance to escape and pursued him at full speed.
Soon, Lin Dongyun appeared in front of the extraordinary fifth-level warrior. The red flame sword gathered energy and then suddenly fell.
Whoosh!
The terrifying energy formed a blazing sword light and rushed towards the extraordinary fifth-level warrior.
In panic, the extraordinary fifth-level warrior immediately launched a counterattack.
However, he was no match for Lin Dongyun when he was not injured, let alone in this situation.
Bang.
The surging energy attacks collided together.
The extraordinary fifth-level warrior spit out several mouthfuls of blood.
Immediately afterwards, the red flame knife in Lin Dongyun's hand was chopped off again.
The extraordinary fifth-level warrior immediately mobilized all his energy to resist.
The next second, the body of the extraordinary fifth-level warrior fell heavily to the ground.
Then Lin Dongyun landed in front of the extraordinary fifth-level warrior, and without any hesitation, the red flame knife in his hand struck directly on his neck.
With a sneer, blood instantly surged out from the neck of the extraordinary fifth-level warrior.
After successfully killing Tao Xiyuan's extraordinary fifth-level warrior, Lin Dongyun also had a smile on his face.
Once the extraordinary fifth-level warrior died, the strength of Tao Xiyuan's men was greatly reduced, and there was nothing to fear.
Although Tao Xiyuan escaped, Lin Dongyun was not worried at all about what else he could do.
Then, Lin Dongyun had a thought in his mind, put away the red flame knife and walked towards his residence.
At the same time, the news of the Battle of the Imperial City quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys as if it had wings.
…
Return to your residence in the imperial city.
What surprised Lin Dongyun a little was that Emperor Di Hao of the Qinglin Empire was also in the other courtyard.
"Emperor." Lin Dongyun glanced at Di Hao and said slightly.
Di Hao hurriedly got up and came to Lin Dongyun and said: "Master Lin, there is no need to be polite. I have already heard about you and Tao Xiyuan. I didn't expect Tao Xiyuan to be so bold and dare to attack you, Master Lin, in the imperial city."
."
"Tao Xiyuan's ambition has been exposed. My arrival is an obstacle to him, so he is naturally unwilling to keep me." Lin Dongyun said.
"Master Lin, are you okay? Tao Xiyuan has been cultivating the imperial city for many years, and his subordinates are extremely powerful." Di Hao said with a slight worry. "It's embarrassing to say that I, the emperor, are just a decoration, and I can only use the people under my command.
It’s not even half as good as Tao Xiyuan.”
"Emperor, don't worry. Tao Xiyuan's men lost one extraordinary fifth-level warrior and three extraordinary fourth-level peak warriors in today's battle. I guess they don't have much strength anymore." Lin Dongyun responded.
"Extraordinary fifth-level warriors? There are actually extraordinary fifth-level warriors under Tao Xiyuan?" Di Hao said in surprise. "It seems that I still underestimated the strength of Tao Xiyuan's men."
"Emperor, you have to be careful in the next period of time. Tao Xiyuan has suffered heavy losses and is very likely to make a desperate move." Lin Dongyun said. "But we can take advantage of this opportunity to operate on Tao Xiyuan!"
"As for the warriors under Tao Xiyuan, if Tao Xiyuan dies, there will be nothing to fear."
"Master Lin, what do you mean..." Di Hao looked at Lin Dongyun doubtfully and asked.
"Emperor, we can do this..."
Immediately, Lin Dongyun told Di Hao what he was thinking.
After listening to Lin Dongyun's opinion, Di Hao showed a trace of hesitation on his face, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go back and gather the ministers right away."
Although Di Hao's position as emperor existed in name only, he still carried the title of emperor of the Qinglin Empire.
Shortly after the order was issued.
Officials of all sizes in the imperial city gathered at the Jinluan Hall.
Di Hao glanced at everyone and said: "You should know what happened in the imperial city today, right? Tao Xiyuan ignored me and openly launched a battle in the imperial city. In fact, he showed contempt for me, so I decided to exempt Tao Xiyuan
Xiyuan’s position, in addition to punishing Tao Xiyuan, who is willing to go and arrest Tao Xiyuan?”
Di Hao's voice fell, and there was silence in the hall.
Most of the dozens of officials, large and small, were single-handedly promoted by Tao Xiyuan, and since they knew Tao Xiyuan's strength well, they would naturally not choose to deal with Tao Xiyuan.
When Di Hao saw this, he was not surprised at all. He also knew Tao Xiyuan's influence in the imperial city.
"Emperor, Lord Tao, as a veteran of three dynasties, is there any misunderstanding?" Immediately, a tall and thin middle-aged man below was heard to speak.
"Misunderstanding? Who knows about the ban on fighting in the imperial city? Tao Xiyuan blatantly ignored the ban and ordered his men to besiege Master Lin in the imperial city." Di Hao said coldly. "Is this a misunderstanding? Master Lin is the emperor's subordinate.
Friends should treat each other with courtesy, but Tao Xiyuan did such a thing, isn't he ignoring this emperor?"
"For the crime of deceiving the emperor and disregarding the superior, do you still want to intercede for Tao Xiyuan?"
"Emperor, calm down!" the middle-aged man who spoke just now said quickly.
"From today on, Lin Dongyun will assume the position of Emperor's Hand of the Qinglin Empire and take charge of all affairs of the Qinglin Empire on behalf of the emperor!" Immediately, Di Hao's voice sounded again.
Hearing this, everyone below could not help but be startled. Then a burst of discussion broke out.
Everyone's eyes also looked at Lin Dongyun in unison.
Lin Dongyun couldn't help but be stunned by this. He didn't expect that Di Hao would appoint him to the position of Emperor's Hand.
But that’s fine, for the next period of time, I will be on Qinglin Emperor Star, and with the position of Emperor’s Hand, I don’t have to worry about being restricted in what I do.
"Emperor, no, Lin Dongyun..." Immediately, someone below objected.
"This emperor has his own discretion in doing things. This matter has been decided like this. There is no need to say anything more." Di Hao said coldly.
After speaking, Di Hao directly ordered everyone to leave, leaving Lin Dongyun in the hall.
"Master Lin, with the position of Hand of the Emperor, you can deal with Tao Xiyuan at will." Di Hao said.
Lin Dongyun nodded and said: "Don't worry, Emperor, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Immediately, Lin Dongyun briefly chatted with Di Hao before heading to the Imperial City Guard.
Now the captain of the Imperial City Guard, Jiang Wu, was appointed by Tao Xiyuan. As one of the protective forces of the Imperial City, Lin Dongyun naturally wanted to be the first to remove this poisonous fang.
Soon, Lin Dongyun arrived at the Imperial City Guard.
Also arriving were Chen Kui and Brother Xiaowu.
"Good brother, I heard that you are now the hand of the emperor." Brother Xiaowu saw Lin Dongyun and immediately smiled and said. "In addition to the emperor in the entire Qinglin Empire, that is you. Your words are the imperial edict.
