The Government Assigns A Daughter-In-Law, Which Needs To Be Chosen?

Chapter 158: Long Kui: Give Me Another Chance

Having personally experienced Lin Fan's strength and witnessed the Lin family's background, Princess Long Kui had no doubt that Lin Fan possessed the ability to resist the court and was not an opponent to be easily manipulated.

Now, with someone in a high position secretly providing information, if these two sides were to truly fight, she couldn't imagine what the outcome would be.

Before this,

She thought she had everything under control.

But now she realized that things were getting further and further out of control.

If she did nothing, the Great Long Dynasty, which had been established for over a hundred years, could truly collapse.

Even if it didn't collapse,

It wouldn't be up to her family to decide.

Fortunately, she happened to be here, and fortunately, Lin Fan showed her the letter. Otherwise, if the two sides truly joined forces, it would be a big problem for their royal family.

"You said the same thing before, but what I got was an army pressing in," Lin Fan said calmly in the face of the princess's panic, eating and drinking as usual.

"This time is different," Long Kui anxiously replied. She had to break this alliance.

"What's different?" Lin Fan put down his chopsticks and looked at her. "Or, were you intentionally playing with me before and never intended to have your father pay the ransom?"

"I..." Long Kui was rendered speechless by his retort.

"It seems that's the case," Lin Fan's smile faded.

"I didn't!" Long Kui gritted her teeth. "I didn't mean to play with you. I just followed your lead before without explaining the pros and cons, so my father didn't understand the consequences."

"So, you mean you didn't put in any effort?" Lin Fan glanced at her.

"Well... yes," Long Kui reluctantly admitted. She hadn't put in any effort before, she had just followed Lin Fan's lead.

But now things were different.

She had truly witnessed the power Lin Fan possessed, as well as the turmoil caused by someone in a high position. If things continued according to the plot, the Great Long Dynasty would truly be plunged into disaster.

"Princess, if your husband gives you another chance, can you really persuade your father?" Jian Ling spoke up when Long Kui was rendered speechless.

Although the person delivering the letter seemed to be helping, upon closer inspection, it was not difficult to see that this person behind the scenes wanted to see the two sides fight each other and both suffer losses.

It seemed like help,

But there was no good intention behind it.

If this could be avoided, it wouldn't be a bad thing for the Lin family.

A camel is bigger than a horse, and the elite troops of the capital's garrison are not so easily manipulated.

If both sides were truly to suffer losses, then they would fall into the trap of the person with ill intentions.

Jian Ling naturally didn't want to see this happen.

Lin Fan also understood this. The pressure he had just exerted was just an act, and now that Jian Ling had come out to speak and ease the tension, it was actually playing the good cop. The two of them were cooperating.

It had to be said,

In terms of tacit understanding, Jian Ling, this daughter-in-law, was definitely the most on point.

With the cooperation of the two, Long Kui's emotions were smoothly stirred, and she fell into their rhythm.

"I can," Long Kui replied without hesitation.

"Husband, what do you think?" Jian Ling looked at Lin Fan after getting the answer she wanted.

When acting,

Naturally, the whole set had to be done.

Lin Fan naturally wouldn't ruin the scene. He deliberately hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

"Thank you," Long Kui didn't waste any time. She went outside and took out a bone whistle, blowing it.

"Whoosh--"

"Chirp!"

A sharp whistle sounded, followed by a loud and clear cry from high above. In no time, a pure white falcon swooped down from the sky and landed on Long Kui's wrist.

"This is the White Dragon Falcon, a messenger trained by our royal family. Only core members of the throne can be equipped with it, and it can only be used for major events. It has great persuasive power," Long Kui explained while caressing the snow-white falcon, and she explained to the others.

"So, you did hold back," Lin Fan chuckled as he looked at her.

Long Kui didn't dare to meet Lin Fan's gaze. She did indeed hold back. If she had used the White Dragon Falcon to deliver the letter when she paid the ransom, the situation would have been completely different.

But it wasn't too late now.

As long as she could stop the conflict between the two sides and prevent the person behind the scenes from benefiting, there was still a chance to salvage everything.

Lin Fan had also learned about the conflict between him and the court from Jian Ling. He understood that it was caused by someone scheming behind the scenes, and it wasn't that he had a deep hatred for the court.

In fact, this whole situation was likely part of the plan of the person behind the scenes.

As long as the current problem was resolved, both sides could peacefully resolve their conflict and thwart the plans of the person behind the scenes, making their schemes come to nothing.

Although it may damage the dignity of the court, Lin Fan is not someone to be easily controlled. He has the power to make the court yield.

This has already been proven.

The letter was quickly written. This time, Lin Fan didn't need to say anything. Long Kui wrote it herself, detailing the pros and cons of the whole incident.

In order to increase persuasiveness, her face blushed slightly as she quietly wrote a few sentences at the end.

As for what she wrote.

She deliberately covered it up, and no one present saw it.

But from the blush on her face, it was clear that it wasn't something good.

Lin Fan originally wanted to check it, but he was quietly stopped by his wife, Jian Ling.

He trusted his wife, so he didn't insist on checking it.

The letter was tied to the leg of the White Dragon Falcon with a message tube. With a loud cry, the White Dragon Falcon turned into a white stream of light and flew into the sky at a speed of hundreds of miles per hour to deliver the letter.

In less than two hours.

The letter arrived deep in the palace.

The Imperial Clan's Zongzheng, who was responsible for feeding the White Dragon Falcon, had a sudden change in expression when he saw the White Dragon Falcon returning with the letter. He quickly presented the letter to the Martial Emperor.

Although the Martial Emperor was old, his complexion was quite rosy, giving him the appearance of a youthful elder. His dragon-like eyes were sharp and intimidating, making it difficult for people to look directly at him.

Today, he was not wearing the dragon robe, but even in a black robe, he couldn't hide his majesty. All living beings bowed down in his presence.

Even if there was a rebellion in the territory, he remained unaffected, with everything under his control.

But when he saw the letter brought back by the White Dragon Falcon, his expression became serious for the first time.

"Whose White Dragon Falcon is this?"

The Martial Emperor asked, his voice steady and powerful, leaving no room for doubt.

Zongzheng respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, it belongs to Princess Wu'an."

The White Dragon Falcons were all bound and each had only one owner, with special markings.

And Wu'an Princess.

Was Long Kui's title.

The fact that the Martial Emperor used his martial arts as a prefix in her title showed how much he valued and doted on her.

"It's Kui'er's?"

The Martial Emperor's gaze froze at the words, then he opened the letter and began to read.

When he saw the beginning of the letter, he disdainfully snorted, showing no significant change in his expression other than a slight coldness. But as he read the hastily added lines at the end, he fell silent.

Zongzheng quietly stood by, not daring to breathe.

Although he held the position of Zongzheng and was the nominal manager of the imperial family, in front of the Martial Emperor, he was just a relative with a little ability, nothing more.

The Right Minister had been consolidating power, forming factions, and deceiving superiors and subordinates, seemingly becoming a powerful minister.

But in the end?

When the Martial Emperor regained power, he completely suppressed him with just a few words.

Although he hadn't completely settled down, Zongzheng didn't think the other party could cause any trouble.

But now,

Just a letter.

Caused the Martial Emperor, who had the power to awe the world, to change his expression repeatedly, and ultimately fall into silence.

This change shook his heart, causing waves to surge within.

He didn't know how long had passed.

Zongzheng's whole body trembled.

The Martial Emperor finally spoke, "Wu Banban, immediately draft an edict to order the elite troops stationed in Tianfeng County to withdraw, redirect their forces from the Long River, and launch a surprise attack on the western rebel alliance camp!"

"Yes!"

An old eunuch dressed as a servant immediately bowed and sang his assent, quickly leaving to draft the edict.

"Your Majesty, why is this?"

Zongzheng asked instinctively. The constant movement of the army without any achievements would harm the imperial authority.

"Is this something you should ask?"

The Martial Emperor looked coldly at him.

"The minister deserves death."

Zongzheng immediately knelt down.

"You may leave. This is a one-time exception. Just do what you should do."

The Martial Emperor waved his sleeve, not punishing him.

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty."

Zongzheng felt as if he had received a pardon and weakly retreated.

The Martial Emperor remained silent, standing quietly under the pavilion. After everything was arranged, he picked up the letter again and his gaze stopped on the last few lines.

The attention of the world was focused on the army stationed in Tianfeng County.

They thought it would be a great battle, a showdown between the Lin family, who had been in the limelight recently, and a fierce struggle for dominance.

But to everyone's surprise, this hastily deployed army quickly withdrew in the middle of the night, boarding the prepared warships and sailing down the Long River to launch a direct attack on the rebel alliance camp.

In an instant,

The rebel alliance suffered heavy losses.

If it weren't for a mysterious force secretly intervening and holding back the main force of the elite army, this attack would have completely crippled the rebel alliance.

But even so, the rebel alliance suffered heavy losses and lost their previous momentum.

On this day,

All the leaders of the rebel alliance complained, blaming why they weren't allowed to take the initiative earlier, resulting in being caught off guard by the other side's tricks.

On this day,

The mysterious master finally lost his composure.
