We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

Chapter 583 Li Lin: What are you mumbling about?

Suddenly, a flash of lightning illuminated the imperial capital.

It also captured the anxious faces of Li Lin and others.

Thunder followed one after another, and with the thunder came raindrops as big as beans.

The imperial capital was already cold in winter, and the freezing rain made it even colder. Soon everyone's clothes and armor were soaked.

But Li Lin had no intention of stopping to rest. Instead, he whipped the horse faster, and the warhorse shuttled through the rain like a black lightning.

Li Lin knew very well that if the completely crazy King Qin rushed into the Duke of Qi's mansion, it would be an irreparable bloodbath!

No matter whether the King of Qin killed the Duke of Qi or he was killed by the King of Shu's assassins, it will become the worst case with the worst impact since the founding of Daqing!

By then, not only would Li Zhang himself be doomed and his father would lose all face, but the other princes would also suffer, and the already precarious court situation would be completely disrupted.

Everyone no longer cared about anything else and whipped their horses hard. The war horses neighed and chased in the direction where Li Zhang disappeared like a black torrent.

Fortunately, a long time had passed since the assassination of the King of Shu began, enough for the emperor in the palace to react.

The King of Shu committed treason and assassinated his brother. In order to calm Emperor Qing down, he was ordered to rush to the imperial city.

When Emperor Qing received the news, he immediately ordered the Jinyiwei to go out and had the officers and soldiers guarding the imperial capital impose a curfew.

Unfortunately, the Jinyiwei first went to the Prince of Yan's Mansion, the Prince of Qin's Mansion and the Ten Princes' Residences, while Li Zhang went to the West City in the opposite direction.

Because of the curfew, Li Zhang had a smooth journey until he was stopped at the gate of Xishifang.

The officer guarding the city stopped the King of Qin and saw the appearance of the person who broke through in the light of the fire. He was so scared that he almost fainted.

If you don't keep your eyes open when working in the imperial capital, you won't be able to survive.

The officer obviously knew Li Zhang, and he also knew that the person who was rebelling tonight was the King of Shu, and the King of Qin in front of him was the victim.

The King of Qin may not be the strongest among all the kings, but he is definitely the most brutal. No one wants to mess with this devil.

But the emperor's order could not be disobeyed, and the officers could not let the King of Qin go, so they had no choice but to kneel on the ground, holding the King of Qin's trouser legs tightly, crying:

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please be kind and spare my life!"

"If you go there, no matter what you're doing, I'll definitely lose my head!"

"Damn it!" King Qin was furious and lashed out with his horsewhip. "Do you think I can't chop off your head? Do you believe I can also kill your whole family?!"

"Get out of the way, make way for this king!"

The officer was not willing to give in. The man went to Xishi in a rage. God knew what he was going to do.

He had no choice but to hold the King of Qin in silence, and even when the King of Qin swung the whip in his hand and left an afterimage, he would not let go.

The King of Qin was already furious, and when he saw this officer being so rude, he felt blood rushing to his head.

He reached out and pulled out the soldier's sword, then placed it on the officer's neck. "I'm going to ask you one last time, will you give in or not?"

"I really can't let you go, I really can't let you go, Your Highness!"

"Okay, okay!" The King of Qin sneered, raised the sword in his hand, and chopped down without hesitation.

"Second brother, stop it!"

A black horse rushed out from the back of the street. Li Lin saw the scene in front of the street in the light of lightning and was frightened to death.

In front of so many soldiers, how bad would the impact be if you, Li Zhang, chopped him down with your sword?

Are you really afraid that your father’s imperial wrath isn’t terrifying enough?

Seeing the knife falling rapidly, Li Lin didn't care about anything else. He immediately took a jade pendant from his waist and threw it out while spinning in his hand.

boom--

The jade pendant hit the back of the knife and instantly broke into two pieces.

Li Zhang's hand trembled, and his sword brushed past the officer's head and fell, hitting the bluestone slab and splashing a few sparks.

The officer closed his eyes tightly and felt a warm current coming out from under his body.

Fortunately, the rain was heavy enough to prevent him from losing face in front of his subordinates.

Li Lin dismounted and looked at the jade pendant with heartache.

The jade pendant was a gift from Li Che to Li Xian. Later, Li Xian was left in the imperial capital by Emperor Qing, so Li Lin kept the jade pendant with him as a souvenir.

Unexpectedly, it was broken here.

"Second brother!"

"Get out! Get out!" Li Zhang shouted. "Old Four, you saved me today. I'll remember your kindness!"

"But you can't stop me. After tonight, no matter what happens to me, my life will be yours!"

The King of Qin seemed to have lost his mind. He pulled his foot out of the officer's arms and rushed towards the gate.

Seeing this, Li Lin quickly intervened, "Brother, you don't know the situation over there. If Duke Qi is truly colluding with the King of Shu, the Duke Qi's mansion will surely have a large force. How can you go there alone?"

"I have to go even if I have to!" Li Zhang gritted his teeth, "Kill! I'm going to kill his whole family!"

Seeing Li Zhang's murderous intent, Li Lin didn't dare to let him go.

"Don't be like this. No prince has died yet, so there's still room for maneuver. Father would never want to see us brothers killing each other. The King of Shu deserves his crime and will receive the punishment he deserves. There's no need to get yourself involved!"

"Bullshit!" Li Zhang pushed Li Lin away. "No prince died? Doesn't Rumei's life count?!"

"I know what you're thinking. She's just a woman, and a jealous and vicious concubine at that. If she dies, she dies."

"But you don't know, Rumei is all I have...only her!"

Li Zhang's throat choked, his eyes turned red, and his face was covered with water marks, not sure if it was rain or tears.

Li Lin sighed slightly, took a step forward and put his hand on Li Zhang's shoulder.

He was really not good at comforting people. Not to mention Li Zhang, he couldn't even comfort his own princess.

Whenever the couple quarreled, it was Princess Yan who took the initiative to comfort him...

However, Li Lin also has his strengths.

But he looked gentle and raised his hand to stroke Li Zhang's head, as if he wanted to comfort his royal brother in this way.

Then, the palm turned into a hand knife... and landed accurately on the back of Li Zhang's neck!

Li Zhang's eyes suddenly rolled back, and he gave Li Lin a last look of disbelief: "Fourth Brother! You..."

Li Lin shrugged his shoulders. "What are you mumbling about? I don't understand! Go to sleep first!"
