Chapter 960: The Tiger Shows His Power (End of the Substitute Marriage Chapter)

Seeing that his sister had seriously injured the enemy, Lin Ze'an also rushed into the circle holding a Miao knife. He cut off the knife in the hand of the man in black with a swing of his knife and killed the man on the spot.

The guards around Lao Shangshu were not just for a living, so they immediately cooperated with the young master and young lady to surround the enemy.

Lianyi nodded with satisfaction and said to the old minister who was watching the battle nervously:

"Father, don't worry. Both children are measured. This is a good opportunity to train them. After this disaster, their future paths will be smoother."

"You're right. Yaozu was spoiled by us back then and lost his blood. That's why he ended up like that."

The old minister knew very well that because he was the only son, he, like his wife, subconsciously protected people under his wings. As a result, his son was less responsible. If it had not been appointed by His Majesty, his son would probably have died. Live under your own wings all your life.

But the daughter-in-law has done a good job. She is also an only child. She can let the child go out to practice after the crowning ceremony. Now she knows how to rush to the front to protect her relatives when encountering trouble. Even the delicate little granddaughter can be injured by a whip. enemy.

"Lianyi, you have taught the children well."

What Lao Shangshu said is true.

"This is also indispensable without the support of my father."

Lianyi said modestly.

Suddenly Ripple's ears moved, and she heard a sound piercing the sky, and the target was her and Lao Shangshu.

"Grandpa, mother!"

Lin Ze'an turned sideways to avoid the knife, and then saw that the man in black was just making a feint, and the target was his grandfather and mother standing in front of the study door. The moment the other party raised his hand, he shot three consecutive sleeve arrows from his cuffs, and the arrows flashed It shines with green light, and you can tell at a glance that it is quenched with poison.

Ripple turned her wrist and caught Duoduo in her hand. Without her having to give orders, Duoduo grew automatically. The rhizome lengthened and turned into a long green whip. It quickly rushed out and caught three poisonous arrows.

"An'an, Ningning, get out of the way!"

Ripple raised his voice.

The two of them dodge with a tacit understanding. Ripple shook Duoduo in his hand, and the three poisonous arrows were sent back. Immediately, three men in black were hit by the arrows and fell to the ground. They died within a moment.

"Be careful with their sleeve arrows, they are quenched with poison."

Lianyi flicked her wrist and took Duoduo back, and at the same time reminded the two children and the guards in the mansion who were killing the enemy.

"Don't worry, mother!"

"Got it, mother!"

The two men responded, fighting more and more carefully.

Due to the continuous injuries, all the remaining men in black were eliminated in less than a stick of incense. The one captured alive killed himself by biting the poison pill hidden in his teeth.

The backyard suddenly became very quiet. Ripple listened carefully and saw that there were still sounds of rushing outside.

"Plum branches."

Ripple shouted.

"Ma'am, I'm here."

Mei Zhi stood up immediately with a pale face, her voice was trembling when she spoke, she could see the danger just now.

"Go and call the maids and servants back and prepare some food. You can keep an eye on it yourself and let everyone eat. We have to hold on until dawn. The outcome depends on the prince's ability."

"Madam, do you want to clean up this yard?"

The leader of the guard asked respectfully, holding a bloody knife.

"Just clean up our yard. There is no need to clean up other places. This will create the illusion that the men in black have succeeded, so as not to attract more enemies."

After Lianyi finished speaking, he looked at the old minister.

"Listen to the young lady."

The old minister nodded.

Then everything went on in an orderly manner, the servants silently did what they were doing, and everyone kept their eyes open until dawn.

After dawn, the death knell rang in the palace, heralding the death of the old emperor, and then horses raced around the imperial city, notifying all officials of fifth rank and above to enter the palace to discuss matters.

The old minister breathed a sigh of relief. At least the Lin family was saved.

"Lianyi, I will go to the palace to check the situation first. If it is the prince, I will retire and return to my hometown. You will take care of the palace and be ready to go at any time."

Lao Shangshu thought a lot and made two preparations.

"Yes, my daughter-in-law will prepare it as soon as possible."

After seeing off the old minister, Lianyi began to prepare, but she was not too worried. The prince had a good fortune for the country and should not be solved so easily.

Sure enough, two hours later, a confidant of the old minister came to send a message, saying that the prince had succeeded to the throne, and asked her to cooperate with the Military and Horse Department to deal with the body of the man in black, and wait for the old minister to come back to talk about the rest.

Lianyi gave the order again and led his subordinates to deal with the people from the Imperial City's Military and Horse Department, restoring the entire Shangshu Mansion to its previous appearance.

It was not until noon the next day that the old minister came back. The first thing he did was to call his grandson to the study.

Ripple later learned that the prince had been wary of his younger brothers for a long time. The old emperor had secretly handed over the royal guards and royal guards to the prince, giving him the strength to fight against them.

The prince didn't expect that his brothers would be so vicious. They planned to succeed or succeed and attacked and killed many officials' mansions in the imperial city. However, there were almost no casualties like Shangshu's Mansion. Most of them were The military generals' families and the civil servants were unlucky, and a large number of them died.

This will free up many official positions, which need to be supplemented. Now is not the time for official assessment. Even if local officials want to be transferred to the imperial city, it will take time. Not only do they need to be assessed, but they also need to have suitable candidates. successor.

In the end, the new emperor decided to hire Enke, and there was a high probability that Enke would be retained in the capital this time. With such a good opportunity, the old minister naturally wanted his grandson to seize it.

Lianyi agreed with Lao Shangshu's decision. In her opinion, if her son was capable of both literary and martial arts, he could take any path.

The matter was decided happily, and Lin Ze'an began to prepare for the Enke exam one month later.

Because Lin Ze'an had a solid foundation and had study tour experience, he stood out in this Enke competition and was directly put into the staff department. I don't know how many people were jealous. This was linked to the official assessment. He really had a bright future in the future.

Marquis Anding also suffered in this disaster. Only Mrs. Marquis died, and several of his son's concubines died unjustly. A lot of slaves died but the principal was fine, so he was lucky.

Moreover, Marquis Anding made a decisive decision that night and took his eldest son into the palace to protect him, thus saving his title. At least this time when it passed to his eldest son, he did not have to demote his title. This was also a reward from the prince for protecting him.

The new emperor hired new people, vigorously developed commerce, built roads, and promoted Confucianism, making the Great World prosperous, and step by step annexed all the surrounding small countries that were eager to expand the territory of the Great World.

Lianyi chose a good marriage for her children, rejected the Anding Marquis's decision to get married, and completely broke up with the Anding Marquis. After the death of the old minister, she took the position of the old feudal lord. .

But as she grew older, she became more and more reluctant to go out and socialize. She left the Lin family's human relations to her daughter-in-law. After she also had her grandson, Ripple returned to the Space-Time Management Bureau.

The grass on the grave of the original owner's sister was several inches taller. Ripple successfully fulfilled the original owner's wish and still gained merit this time.

Mainly because she saved the prince, prevented the whole country from falling into a war-torn situation, and saved many people's lives, so when Lianyi saw Shijiu again, the corners of his lips never dropped.
