Chapter 44: Lin Family's Dilemma

Lianyun City City Lord Mansion.

Lin Nantian was the only person in the dim study.

Lin Nantian is more than 60 years old this year. Because of martial arts, he seems to be only about 40 years old.

At this moment he was holding a book in his hand, but it was a long time since he turned the page, obviously his attention was not on the book.

"My father, you haven't slept yet!" A voice broke the tranquility of the study.

Seeing the incoming person, Lin Nantian's frowning brows eased slightly, revealing a smile.

The man came was a weak and pale man, about 20 years old, thin, and it seemed that a gust of wind could blow him away.

This man is Lin Nantian's second son, Lin Qingming.

"It's Qingming! How come you haven't slept so late?" Lin Qingming asked with a trace of concern.

Lin Qingming is Lin Nantian's illegitimate son. Although he was taken back to the mansion, his status in the mansion is not high because of his low background and no talent for martial arts.

Lin Nantian was born in a big family in the Great Zhou Kingdom. Due to his power, he didn't dare to treat Lin Qingming too well.

But he still likes this son. The Lin family has two sons and a daughter. The eldest son Lin Shan has outstanding martial arts talents, but his simple mind is not enough to keep his family business. Although Lin Qingming cannot practice martial arts, his mind is extremely clever. Lin Qingming was on the sidelines for the matter.

Therefore, he cultivated Lin Qingming in the hope that Lin Qingming could help Linshan in the future and carry forward the Lin family.

"Father, what are you thinking?"

"Sit down!" Lin Nantian pointed to the chair next to the desk.

"Qingming! Do you think my Lin family can survive this disaster?" Lin Nan asked leisurely.

"Is my father worried about the Ji family?" Lin Qingming asked after sitting down.

"Yes! The Ji family is getting tighter these days, and they want me to marry Wan Qing to their dude, Ji Hao."

"Don't say that Wan Qing is only twelve years old, and he hasn't reached the age of marriage, that is, when he is old, how can I bear to send her to the fire pit?"

"But, if I don't agree to the Ji family's request, how should my Lin family deal with it?" Lin Nantian looked sad.

Lin Qingming, who has always been resourceful, is also a bit at a loss. As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. No matter how clever he is, he can't think of a way to solve the problem without any help!

Lianyun City is one of the four defensive cities in the royal capital Luocheng, and its status is extremely important.

Nearly 20,000 elite soldiers were deployed in each city to assist the imperial imperial army to protect the safety of Los Angeles.

In view of the importance of these four cities, the lord of the four cities are often held by the emperor's cronies.

But a month ago, the old emperor died, Xiao Tianci usurped the throne, and the situation took a sharp turn. The three city lords of the four cities directly chose to join the new emperor, and they were the only ones who had not expressed their views in the Lin Family of Lin Yuncheng.

The Lin family was greatly favored by the first emperor, and had always been concerned about the usurpation of power by Xiao Tianci, how can he be loyal to him?

At this time, the Ji family, the second family of Lian Yuncheng, saw the opportunity to bring down the Lin family. The Ji family was loyal to him at the first moment Xiao Tianci succeeded in usurping the throne.

The Ji family, which received the support of the new emperor, has rapidly increased in power, surpassing the Lin family in less than a month.

Now, half of Lian Yuncheng's troops are in the hands of the Ji family. Coupled with the gradual stability of the government, Xiao Tianci can immediately free his hands to take care of the Lin family. The Ji family's recent behavior has become more and more excessive.

Three days ago, Ji Hao, the youngest son of the Ji family, directly proposed to marry Lin Nantian's daughter, Lin Wanqing.

"Has Wan Qing not fallen yet?" Lin Nantian rubbed his aching brows.

After the Ji family proposed marriage, although Lin Nantian did not agree, but did not refuse, this made Lin Wanqing feel a sense of crisis and directly chose to run away from home.

"Not yet, but please rest assured, father, Wan Qing can't do without Lian Yuncheng, as long as she doesn't fall into the hands of the Ji family, she won't have an accident!"

The Ji family set up a private checkpoint at the gate of the city. Anyone who wanted to leave the city had to pay the exit fee. He had checked it. When Lin Wanqing left the house, she did not bring any gold or silver, so she definitely couldn't get out. city.

Lin Nantian nodded. He also knew that the Ji family set up a checkpoint at the gate to collect the entrance fee, but the Lin family couldn't protect himself, and he didn't bother to manage that much.

"Is there really no way out for our Lin family?"

Lin Nantian leaned back on the seat, looked up at the roof, his face was confused.

"Father, it's not as good as us..." Lin Qingming's face showed a trace of embarrassment, and he stopped talking.

Lin Nantian naturally knew what he wanted to say. He smiled bitterly: "If Xiao Tianci had just succeeded to the throne, we would have no problem with him, but it is too late! The Ji family has already received the absolute support of Xiao Tianci, and the Lin family has no chance. Up."

"Then our Lin family, should we really make fish and wait for others to kill it?" Lin Qingming was a little unwilling.

He has no talent for martial arts and wants to get ahead. He can only rely on the power of his family to enter the court and become a civil official.

Once the Lin family fell, in this world where the aristocratic family controlled everything, his entire life would be over, so how could he be reconciled.

"Let's take one step at a time! As a last resort, you can only sacrifice Wan Qing."

A trace of pain flashed in Lin Nantian's eyes. The reason why he didn't clearly reject the Ji family was because he had such a mind that he could leave the Lin family a way out when desperate.

Lin Qingming also nodded helplessly. If a woman can keep the family, they naturally know how to choose.

"By the way, father, the red guard of the eldest prince recently appeared in Lianyun City!" Lin Qingming mentioned this incident suddenly.

"Oh?" Lin Nantian showed a hint of curiosity on his face.

Then he said with disdain: "Not long after Xiao Tianci has just usurped power, his sons are thinking about seizing a concubine. It's really because the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked."

"Now that the enemy country is eyeing it, they don't care at all. This Great Zhou Kingdom will sooner or later be destroyed in the hands of Xiao Tianci."

"Then, should we contact the red guard, maybe we can solve our Lin family's predicament by this!"

This is Lin Qingming's real intention to find Lin Nantian tonight. If he can catch the line of the prince, Lin Qingming's career will be much brighter.

"No, let's go now. It's boring to find ourselves. Everyone knows that even Cloud City is about to change ownership, and the prince is no exception. The Red Guard is looking for the Ji family, so let the Ji family have a headache!"

Lin Nantian has decided, so Lin Qingming naturally dare not say anything!

"Okay, Qingming, rest early!" Lin Nantian waved his hand and signaled Lin Qingming to go down.

Lin Qingming bowed slightly, and then exited the study.

When he left the study, his face suddenly became cold.

Father, I will not let the Lin family be destroyed in your hands, the entire Lin family is destined to be mine.
