Chapter 11159 The Battle of the Three Kingdoms!
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Some things simply couldn’t be pondered over. Once one fell into a conspiracy theory, the final result would be that they would be trapped and unable to extricate themselves.
Just like now, the more Han Wang looked at Lin Yi, the more cunning he was.
“If you don’t consider my Imperial Residence and you choose for yourself, which rule would you choose?” King Han probed.
“If I had to choose, I’d choose number one hundred and fifty-one.”
“You’ve come into contact with the Protector?” The King of Han was taken aback.
Number 151 did not belong to any of the seven kings. It was the core asset of the Duke Protector’s Mansion.
In the outside world, the title of the Duke Protector was quite famous, but in front of the seven kings, it did not have the slightest bit of deterrence, nor did it have any secrets to speak of.
If the previous Duke Protector was still around, with his strength and reputation, he would still be able to establish some dignity.
But now that the previous Protector Duke had passed away, the newly appointed Duke had no strength or skills. He was just a show, so naturally, these true top figures would not take him seriously.
She didn’t expect Lin Yi to actually call out the name of the Protector.
“Not directly,” Lin Yi replied honestly.
King Han narrowed his eyes.
If there was no direct contact, then there was indirect contact.
To a certain extent, this was true.
Lin Yi didn’t have any dealings with the protector, but he did have many dealings with Ning Yuqi, and Ning Yuqi was the wife of the new protector.
Ning Yuqi had been expelled by the inner court and was now in Guan Zhengxuan’s hands.
Guan Zhengxuan had asked Lin Yi to meet him before the start of the Hundred Seedlings Plan.
Ning Yuqi was just a freeloader, but Lin Yi might need him after he entered the inner court.
This was the perfect opportunity.
Towards this answer, King Han was skeptical.
Did this kid throw a smoke bomb on purpose?
If Lin Yi had second thoughts, the ones who were most suspicious would naturally be the other seven kings.
As for a mere Protector Duke, other than Number 151, he didn’t have a second core human rule. How could he compete with the Han Imperial Residence?
But at this point, Han Wang was pretty sure that Lin Yi was having second thoughts.
He couldn’t help but feel regret.
If he had known this day would come, he would not have sent Jinghai Flying Land away back then!
To be honest, since things had come to this, the ones who should be blamed the most were Han Changshi and Han Wu.
If it weren’t for the two of them, he wouldn’t have made the decision to spend so much money to recruit Lin Yi.
Now, it was all for naught. He had helped others to get married for nothing!
King Han didn’t continue with the Divine Awareness Voice Transmission.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, didn’t know that the other party had so many tricks up his sleeve. He was thinking of giving him benefits to win him over a second ago, but in the next second, he had changed his mind and was trying to take revenge.
From Lin Yi’s point of view, this was a rare opportunity, but as long as the conflict wasn’t too big, he was willing to cooperate with King Han’s mansion.
After all, the other party did show some genuine goodwill, and Lin Yi wouldn’t deny it.
However, the premise of cooperation was that they could not bring themselves into the pit.
The three rules provided by King Han, each one counted as one. It was obvious that they could not avoid this round of cleansing of rules by the Gods.
If Lin Yi really wanted to agree, he’d have to be stupid.
After all, once something happened to the man-made rules of this scale, the bound carrier would definitely be affected. There was no chance of survival.
After a moment of silence, King Han suddenly transmitted his voice again.” Those three man-made rules are extremely important to This King. If Mister Lin has any concerns, you can consider letting your men take them on. This King can guarantee you that I will definitely not treat them unfairly.”
In other words, he still wanted to give Lin Yi a chance to fight for it one last time.
Lin Yi might be new here, and he didn’t have any foundation in the inner court, but the way he defeated the emperor was too domineering.
Just based on that scene, Number One was destined to be a ruthless person that no one could underestimate.
Plus, he had already given away Jinghai and Feidi. Han Wang wasn’t willing to fall out with Lin Yi just because of the sunk cost.
As long as he controlled the Queen and the others, he would naturally control Lin Yi.
Lin Yi looked at him and replied,” Han Wang, you might have misunderstood. The people who came with me this time are all my brothers, friends, and family. I won’t let them take the risk.”
“Understood. You have to pay more, right?” King Han immediately understood.
“..”
“That’s not what I meant,” Lin Yi replied with a bitter smile.”I’ll say it again, those three rules are really bad. I suggest King Han choose carefully.”
King Han’s expression turned cold.” That’s all I have to say. I’ve already made my bottom line clear. Please consider it carefully, Mister Lin.”
The communication between the two of them seemed to take a long time, but in fact, it was only a short moment.
In the eyes of others, Lin Yi and Han Wang only exchanged a few glances.
However, just when everyone thought that Lin Yi would be the ambassador for Prince Han’s mansion, Lin Yi’s eyes unexpectedly turned to Zhangsun Sheng.
Everyone’s gazes shifted.
Zhangsun Sheng couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy when he suddenly became the center of attention.
As the new Duke Protector, although he had the right to stand here, his presence had always been very low. He was purely an invisible person.
Usually, these important figures present, especially the high and mighty Seven Kings, would not even look at him, let alone the attention of the entire audience.
Just as Zhangsun Sheng was feeling uneasy and confused, Lin Yi’s voice sounded in his mind.
“Little Duke, if I’m not wrong, Rule Number 151 belongs to the Duke Protector’s Public House, right? I wonder if you have any intention of cooperating with me?”
Zhangsun Sheng was stunned.
He didn’t expect that the top one on the ranking list, the center of attention, would come looking for him!
Then, he was overjoyed.
The descendants he had carefully arranged for the family had all been wiped out in the competition for the throne. He had been feeling uneasy these past few days. If no one among the hundred chose his family’s Rule 151, then the future of the Duke Protector’s Public House would be truly dark.
After all, if no one chose, it meant that they couldn’t get on the Hundred Seedlings Plan, which meant that they couldn’t avoid the cleansing of the rules by the gods.
The worst part was that although the Duke Protector’s Public House was a big family, this was the only rule that they had.
In other words, once the only core asset was gone, there would be nothing left.
At that time, the Duke Protector’s Residence would be nothing but an empty title!
