Lin Wei clutched an ice pack to the left side of his face, grimacing in pain. He stayed up until midnight, waiting for the bad news of defeat, and received a slap in the face for no apparent reason.
Not only was he beaten to the point of total loss of face in front of everyone, but his family fortune that had been emptied out was once again scraped to the ground, until even a drop of oil was gone.
If you ask me what I gained, does it count the pile of belly-full pancakes?
"Fuck!"
"Chentian!"
"This son will not die! There is no hope for the revival of the Lin family!" Lin Wei broke the ice bag and smashed it into pieces on the ground. "If you don't want to be a master who is free from the world, you have to become a Taoist with the people!"
"Those despicable mud-legged people have actually attracted you to go to war, and you are not willing to make enemies of all the famous families in the world!"
The more he scolded, the angrier he became. Lin Wei raised his foot and kicked over the coral lamp. The golden and cold ambergris oil spilled onto the ground, crawling like earthworms.
But anger turned to anger, and the huge mess still needed to be dealt with. Lin Wei cursed and sat down again, forcing himself to think calmly.
The previous head of the Lin family and his incompetent son both died due to Chen Tian. If he wanted to secure his position as head of the family within half a year, he must avenge them to show his integrity.
What's more important is that the Lin family has staked a lot of chips on Yin Jianyuan, and there is no chance to get out.
Now there is only one way to go to the dark side. I have to bite the bullet and follow the Yin family's coalition forces and fight to the death with Chen Tian without any reservation.
As for the capital invested in the early stage, these losses can only be lost. Let’s not talk about whether we can get out of it. The sunk cost alone is enough to make people’s hearts bleed.
If you withdraw now, you will definitely lose everything!
Thinking of this, Lin Wei couldn't help but feel nervous. He suddenly realized that he had been tied to the chariot by Yin Jianyuan. Even if there was a sinkhole in front of him, he could only jump down.
He sighed deeply, knowing that the current situation was no longer something he could control personally. All the fate of Cangxi Wanli would be changed here, and it would definitely not be as simple as the previous rise and fall.
"Open a position and mobilize the final reserves." Lin Wei stood up and made a decisive decision. The little maid next to him looked confused and didn't know who he was talking to.
At this moment, the shadows in the corner suddenly surged, as if something sneaky was taking shape.
This person's name is Jiang Tong, who belongs to the Guzhi Intelligence Organization in Gusu City. He mainly serves the Lin Ye family and plays the role of waiter in the Muchen Pavilion all year round. But in fact, he is a spy placed by the Lin family in Guzhi.
This appearance is undoubtedly a sign that the Lin family is about to make a desperate decision and has reached the most critical moment.
As for the final reserve mentioned by Lin Wei, Jiang Tong was even more stunned. The aristocratic families that have been passed down through generations certainly have profound heritage, and the Lin family is no exception.
This treasure house hidden in the dark is the last trump card of the Lin family. It means that the Lin family is betting on the EMI family fortune and giving it a try.
Jiang Tong always felt that it was a bit exaggerated, and Lin Wei's reaction was too impulsive. Although the Yin family's coalition forces were defeated in Muye, the foundation was still there.
What's more, Chen Tian can no longer mobilize spiritual power, and Yin Jianyuan himself is an extraordinary strong man in the ninth level of the Lingtai Realm, so why should he be afraid?
No matter how strong Yongtai City's troops are, they only number 20,000. However, there are still more than 500,000 people on the coalition side. The next time they fight in close combat, it is still unknown who will win.
Then why should Lin Wei use the treasure house again and hurt the vitality of the Lin family?
But this is not a decision that Jiang Tong can refute. As a dead soldier of the Lin family, he can only act according to orders.
After bowing deeply, Jiang Tong immediately turned around and left, quickly contacting the spies lurking everywhere, preparing to work together to obtain the token and open the treasure house.
The quiet city of Gusu was covered with a layer of pale moonlight, and undercurrents were surging. Not only Lin Wei had trouble sleeping and eating, but Luo Yongfeng was also restless.
"Sir, your guess is correct. Chentian is really capable of accomplishing great things. He actually defeated the strong with the weak, breaking the myth that the Yin family's army is indestructible." Luo Yongfeng walked in the middle hall, and under the flickering lights, Wu Yingzhe's figure immediately flickered.
Luo Yongfeng admired his vision very much. Before the war broke out, he had actually guessed the outcome of the current battle, and even intentionally revealed signs of his attachment to Chen Tian.
Obviously.
The adventure was well worth it.
But then again, the current situation is even more complicated and confusing. While Luo Yongfeng is happy, he is also more confused about the future.
"The city lord does not need to worry." Wu Yingzhe pondered for a long time and then added, "Judging from the current situation, Yongtai City has not yet launched an siege and counterattack. Overall, it is still at a disadvantage."
"So the city lord does not make any remarks and remains neutral, which is the greatest help to Yongtai City."
This has been made very clear.
Luo Yongfeng was the city lord who had been ignored by the Lin Ye family for a long time. Whether he expressed his stance or not actually didn't mean much. It proved that the Lin Ye family had already taken control of Gusu City. Every brick, every tile, every plant and every tree was controlled by them.

But looking at it from another perspective, Luo Yongfeng's inaction in the name of the city lord has already biased Chen Tian to a certain extent.
"Very good, your suggestion is good." Luo Yongfeng nodded slightly and asked again, "What should we do specifically?"
Wu Yingzhe blurted out: "Chentian pays most attention to the common people at the bottom. Now that the common people in Gusu City have no food to eat because of the expropriation of the Lin Ye family, it is a great opportunity for the city lord to win the hearts and minds of the people."
"Even if Chen Tian takes over Gusu City in the future, these common people who have received the city lord's favor will definitely prove it for the city lord."
"In this way, if you like him, Chen Tian will definitely have a deep understanding of the city lord's love for the people, and the position of city lord will naturally not be left behind by others."
Luo Yongfeng's eyes lit up, and he felt that he had discovered Wu Yingzhe by accident and was a god-given talent.
All these measures are very realistic. If you follow what he said, you will definitely be able to keep your position as city lord.
but.
Luo Yongfeng was also alert.
He stared deeply at Wu Yingzhe and spoke slowly: "Since you entered the City Lord's Mansion, everything you have done has been biased towards Chen Tian of Yongtai City. At the same time, I also sent people to investigate your place of origin and identity, and found that the place has long since become
It’s in ruins.”
At this point, Luo Yongfeng suddenly changed his subject: "The ghost lantern organization in Yongtai City is so pervasive that you..."
"Report to the city lord." Wu Yingzhe said calmly and bowed his head, "The city lord treated me well. He allowed me to be promoted from a handyman to a staff counselor with a salary of tens of thousands. How dare I betray the city lord with a small job?"
"not to mention."
"There are many aristocratic families in Gusu City, and all of them have huge profits. If Wei Zhi is really a spy, why not hide from him and work for the city lord's palace instead?"
"My job is full of sincerity, and the sun and the moon can teach me. Lord Wanwang, don't listen to the villain's rumors."
Say it.
Wu Yingzhe could not kneel down, but Qi Qi showed up as a loyal minister admonishing him to death.
Luo Yongfeng's eyes wandered over him again and again, and finally he helped him stand up and said seriously: "I really hope you are Gui Deng's spy. If Chen Tian really takes over Gusu City in the future, you will also be a witness." "Weizhi"
I dare not, from the beginning to the end, I am only loyal to the city lord." Wu Yingzhe bowed again.
