"Hmph, if you want to escape, then pass this level first! Don't do it all!" Wu Shang roared, discarded the weapons in his hand, turned over and dismounted, and punched Lin Xiao's shoulder.
Lin Xiao did not dare to face him head-on, and dodged several times in a row. His eyes flashed frequently, then shouted violently, penetrated his hands, and pushed them towards Wu Shang at the same time. Wu Shang snorted coldly, and used his fists to face each other. The two fists and palms collided. Wu Shang took a step back and immediately found something wrong. Lin Xiao actually used the force to jump and landed on the horse he was riding before.
At this moment, a cold arrow shot out from the guards and shot straight into Lin Xiao's back heart. Lin Xiao, who had just swung his full force, had not yet developed his strength. Even if he noticed that something was wrong, he had no resistance and his body was shot through by an arrow. Due to Lin Xiao's body blocking, Wu Shang only heard a light roar, and an arrow protruded from Lin Xiao's heart. In a hurry, he didn't see where the arrow came from.
Lin Xiao's body fell on the horse, his eyes widened in horror. After a brief stay, he fell from the horse and then disappeared without a sound.
Wu Shang was shocked and hurried forward. After trying his breath, he was shocked. He stood up and roared, "Who did he shoot the arrow!!"
His eyes suddenly focused on the rear of the guard group, where there were twenty golden archers. They looked around and shook their heads and indicated that they were not what they had let go. Who would have been foolish to admit it after making such a big mistake? The emperor clearly stated that he would capture it alive!
Wu Shang's eyes... swept over the twenty bow riders, looked at Lin Xiao's corpse and the arrows specially used by the palace guards, and said in a low voice: "Take his corpse and go back to the city immediately. I will definitely find out about this matter, hum!"
"Sir, there is a parcel there."
"Pick it up!"
"yes."
He opened Lin Xiao's package and looked at it for a few seconds, and finally his eyes fell on the seal that had not yet been opened: "Go back to the city!"
The palace guards who completed the mission began to return the same way. After they all left, the middle-aged man who had obviously run away stood out from behind a tall mound, looked at the direction they were away with a sneer, and said to himself disdainfully: "A woman who even wants to marry the Holy Lord is really ignorant of the world."
There was an extra wooden longbow in his hand that came from somewhere.

Ye family.
In the warm sun, Ye Wuchen was half lying in the wheelchair, closing his eyes and basking in the sun comfortably. Tongxin stood by him without leaving any steps, while Ningxue gently kneaded his body. After a while, Ye Wuchen opened a slit slightly and murmured: "By the time, Lin Xiao should be dead. This is a person who can be friends, but unfortunately he was born in the wrong place."
"What's really exciting is not that you crippled the dog with your own hands, but that you watched the two dogs who had originally had a harmonious relationship bit each other. The Lin family, I wonder how many days you can withstand..." Ye Wuchen curled his lips and smiled silently.
What is the world deciding in the blink of an eye? Ye Wuchen didn't move at home, and the entire Tianlong City was filled with smoke and clouds.

Wu Shang hurried into the imperial study room, but the emperor was found. Lin Zhan and Lin Kuang were all among them, but their faces were not very good-looking. Wu Shang glanced at Lin Zhan and Lin Kuang with pity and stepped forward and said, "Keep to the emperor."
Long Yin frowned and said, "Why are you back so soon? What's the situation?"
Wu Shang replied: "Trust Emperor Hong Fu, Mr. Lin was stopped by a group of robbers on the way, so his subordinates were able to find him so quickly."
"Has found it?" Long Yin turned around suddenly and asked, "Then where is he now?"
Lin Zhan and Lin Kuang's hearts suddenly raised. If they were really allowed to choose, they would rather be misunderstood by the emperor than be arrested by Lin Xiao, who had already escaped, be arrested. Wu Shangchui said sadly: "My subordinates are not good at doing things. When they captured Mr. Lin, they were shot to death by one of my subordinates... and they only brought back the corpse and asked the emperor to sue him."
"What... what did you say... Xiaoer... die? Dead?" Lin Kuang and Lin Zhanru heard Pili, and rushed to Wu Shang at the same time, shouting in horror.
"Yes... the emperor originally wanted to capture Mr. Lin alive, but he didn't expect..." Wu Shang said in shame.
"Xiao'er..." Lin Kuang exclaimed sadly, then there was no sound, his whole body trembled slightly, turbid tears flowed down, and his body collapsed weakly. Although he had known that Lin Xiao could not avoid the ending of death, he suddenly heard the bad news, and the misery in his heart was still heartbroken. Lin Zhan quickly supported him, gritted his teeth and said tremblingly: "Who... was that bastard who shot him to death, I want to tear him... into pieces!!"
Long Yin looked at them coldly and sneered: "He should have died... But don't think that if he dies, there is no evidence. Today's matter will definitely be found out."
"Emperor." Lin Kuang cried out sadly: "The loyalty of the old minister can be seen by the sun and the moon, and the heaven and the earth can be proved by the world. Even if our Lin family destroys the clan, they will never do anything to be sorry to the emperor... Emperor, this matter is clearly a trap against my Lin family!"
If it weren't for the two words before the guard's death, Long Yin might not have had such great doubts about the Lin family. If he really found Lin Xiao in the north, it would be even more confirmed that the guard could not be a lie. His last few short words put a tight-knit basin on the head of the Lin family, and he couldn't even take it off.
Wu Shang stepped forward and said, "Emperor, this is the package Lin Xiao carries. Please check it out."
Long Yin took the package that had been opened and flipped it a few times. The more he looked, the more gloomy his face became. Whether it was clothes, white jade flute, or the jade pendant, they were clearly Lin Xiao’s objects. When Lin Xiao was locked in the dungeon, these things were all in the Lin family. Finally, he picked up the letter, looked at Lin Zhan and Lin Kuang with a depressed face, and tore them apart, and took out the letter paper inside.
Xiao'er, I know that you are deeply persecuted, but I can't excuse you. I can only spend a lot of money to invite two masters to rescue you. I hope you can go north and escape thousands of miles away. From then on, I will hide my name and never come back within twenty years. Your second brother is ruined. If you die, the Lin family will be cut off. I hope you will be careful in everything outside and you will not lose your life.
Now, there is something to tell you. Your grandfather secretly told me that our Lin family was originally established by the emperor to restrain the Ye family. It can be said that our Lin family is all the emperor's pawns. At present, only the emperor and your grandfather know about this. I dare not mention it with your grandfather. Otherwise, he would block loyalty if he regards loyalty above everything else. Alas... I think my Lin family is loyal to the emperor, but the emperor treats my Lin family like this. Even though he knows it is a frame-up, he still does not hesitate to eradicate the blood of my Lin family. How sad and painful, I regret being a minister of the Long family for my father. Xiaoer, when the emperor returns to the west in the future, remember not to be a loyal minister after you come back. Think of his Ye family and my Lin family, but what you get is so... Remember, remember.
Being a father is incompetent, and only this can be achieved and peace.
Long Yin's hand holding the letter was trembling faintly. He glared at Lin Zhan resentfully, and suddenly swept his desk with his hand, searching quickly among the piles of memorials. Not long after, he found a memorial presented by Lin Zhan. After opening it, he put it together with the letter... He could see at a glance that this was clearly a man's handwriting, which was from the same man's hand.
"What a Lin Zhan... OK, that's really good." Long Yin's lips trembled, and in extreme anger, his breathing became a little uncomfortable.
"Emperor... Emperor, what's wrong?" Lin Zhan was so scared that his heart beat faster and asked tremblingly.
"Wu Shang, retreat. I forgive you for your death in Lin Xiao!" Long Yin gasped, obviously already extremely angry.
Wu Shang noticed that the atmosphere suddenly became wrong and quickly retreated. Long Yin turned around suddenly and said to Lin Kuang in a low voice: "Lin Kuang... I have told your son Lin Zhan about my relationship with your Lin family!"
Lin Kuang was stunned by the question and hesitated for a moment. He couldn't understand why he told Lin Zhan this morning because of Lin Xiao's "rescue" and why the emperor actually knew.
Lin Kuang's reaction made Long Yin's last doubt completely disappear. He sneered: "Okay, very good... Your Lin family is indeed more promising than the other... Humph! Look at the good things your son does!"
Long Yin shook his hand and threw the letter in front of Lin Kuang. Lin Kuang hurriedly picked it up and started to look carefully. Slowly, his hands began to tremble, and tremble faster and more violently. This was his son's handwriting, so how could he not recognize it?
"This...this..." Lin Kuang felt dizzy in his brain. This letter not only proved that Lin Xiao was rescued by Lin Zhan, but also clearly expressed dissatisfaction and anger with the emperor, and even... there was a vague meaning of rebellion.
"Lin Zhan! What else do you have to say now!" Long Yin pointed at Lin Zhan and shouted.
After reading the letter, Lin Zhanjiang was cold and kneeling on the ground and shouting wildly: "Your Majesty... This is not written by me, this is really not written by me, it is someone who blames me!"
"You are still quibbling!" Long Yin almost burst into anger: "You always say that you are a scapegoat. Then I ask you, except for us, who knows the connection between me and your Lin family? When Lin Kuang told you about this matter under his slander, a third party was present? Could it be that the person who blamed you is a god or a ghost, and all this can be guessed without any fault!!"
"But... Emperor, my father told me this after Xiao'er was rescued, at all..." Lin Zhan suddenly stopped halfway, and his heart was shocked. Yes, it was his father who told him after Xiao'er escaped, and this letter should have been given to him when he escaped... Could it be that a god or a ghost? He could have predicted before this!?
Long Yin sneered: "Say... and then continue, I want to see what ridiculous reason for quibbling. Lin Zhan, Lin Zhan, I have always underestimated you and misread you."
"Your Majesty, this is really not what I wrote..." Lin Zhan almost cried.
"Okay... Then I will give you another ironclad evidence, come here!"
Two yellow-clad guards walked in outside the door, and Long Yin shouted: "Immediately, let me investigate the Lin family's finances to see if there has been a large amount of money transferred from the day before yesterday to today. Go quickly! I will hear the reply within a quarter of an hour!"
"yes!"
The letter said that Lin Zhan was a master who spent a lot of money to invite him, and Long Yin naturally knew that he had never forgotten the heavy money he spent when he invited Tao Baibai.
After less than ten years of cultivation, the guard hurried back: "Your Majesty, the Lin family's money house lost a total of six million taels at a time yesterday morning, and there was no major change in other times."
Long Yin nodded, asked him to retreat, and then smiled coldly: "Six million taels are such a big deal... Can you tell me where the money has been spent!!"
