The Hooligan in Another World

Chapter 155 Undercurrents Surge

Lin Feng’s status was no longer ordinary. Last night, Lin Tianqiao had arranged for a small team of shadow guards to accompany him whenever he left the General’s Mansion.

What was there to be afraid of? She was afraid that Lin Feng would be assassinated. He was the sole heir of the Lin Family. If anything happened to Lin Feng, it would be useless no matter how they succeeded in the past. Everything would be turned into nothingness.

When he arrived at the entrance of the palace, Ying Seventeen, who had been tasked with dealing with the aftermath last night, led the Firedance Army to bow and welcome Lin Feng into the palace. This aroused the envy of all civil and military officials. It was indeed different to have military power. No matter if it was the high-ranking Prime Minister Zhou or the distinguished Venus Magnus, they did not receive such treatment.

The Firedance Army was very imposing. Regardless of their rank, as long as they entered the palace gates, they would have to undergo inspection. But what about Lin Feng? Let alone an inspection, their attitude was as respectful as a son’s when he met his father. How could the difference between officials be so huge? This was not just the thought of an official. Most of the officials had the same idea, indicating for the Shadow Guards to stay behind. Lin Feng followed the civil and military officials to the Taihe Palace. After observing for a while, he discovered that there were no more Imperial Guards around the Taihe Palace. He nodded his head secretly, knowing that after he had left yesterday, Tie Qianfeng and Lin Ke did not behave and must have embarrassed Muting and removed the original Imperial Guards.

When he reached the position of the second military officer, Lin Feng began to close his eyes to rest. He wondered Muting Wayne's performance at today's court meeting and if he would struggle with him.

After knowing that Lin Feng was going to take action, Prime Minister Zhou paid attention to Lin Feng's movements. Yesterday's movements in the General's Mansion had not escaped Zhou Tianze's notice. He knew that Lin Feng had made a big move, but he did not know the result. He was very anxious in his heart. On the contrary, Lin Feng, who was opposite him, was resting with his eyes closed.

If one were to say that nothing had happened, it would be nonsense. Didn’t they see Lin Feng’s weapon in his hand? In the past, it had always been separated and carried on his back. Now, it had been combined and held in his hand. This was to deal with any changes that could occur at any time.

Just as Zhou Tianze was making guesses, the doors to the Taihe Palace opened and the eunuch called out morning court.

Lin Feng opened his eyes and followed Nalan Su closely to the Taihe Palace. All officials knelt down to pay their respects to the emperor, except for a few bowing and saluting. Lin Feng did not even pay his respects, only slightly bowed.

"Report if you have something to report," the eunuch shouted. After receiving the instructions, the few words of dismissal were canceled.

Then, the officials reported some trivial things.

After the trivial matters were dealt with, Muting Wayne stood up and said, "Today, I have something to announce. It's not a discussion. The Empress and Consort Yun intend to pray for the people of the Celestial Kingdom. From tomorrow, they will move to the Courteous Spring Temple to worship the Buddha, and no one will be allowed to disturb them.

"Yes!" All the officials bowed and said.

"During this period of time, the Firedance Army has been stationed in the capital and the capital has been safe. It can be seen that General Lin Feng has made great contributions. In addition, after the two previous victories, I didn't reward him seriously. The whole Lin family are loyal and devoted. This time, it is the Lin family who rescued the empire. There should be a lot of rewards.

The Valiant Tiger Seal is the same as before. It is trouble-free and represets me. If one encountered injustice, he could kill them first and report later with Valiant Tiger Seal. General Lin is appointed as the first-class nation-protecting general to lead the empire's army. Now he is directly control the Firedance Army and the Imperial Army. General Nalan is in charge of the Imperial Guards to cooperate with the nation-protecting general to govern the empire's safety. The General's Mansion was allowed to expand, and the five-mile radius of the General's Mansion would belong to the Lin family for generations for generations."

“Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will definitely not let down the royal family’s kindness.” Lin Feng bowed and put on an act of gratitude.

This piece of news was enough to astonish all civil and military officials. What kind of news was this? This was just too shocking. With this order, Lin Feng’s status in the empire was second only to one and above tens of thousands.

"No, General Lin is still young and doesn't deserve such a high position. Your Majesty, please reconsider and withdraw your order." One of the civil officials was jealous and began to protest.

"He insulted nation-protecting general, and his jealousy is too strong. Men, drag him away and beat him to death." Muting ordered harshly. If he wasn’t ruthless, others would be ruthless to him as well. Last night, he suffered much. Tie Qianfeng was an expert in teaching others. After being lectured for half the night last night, Muting had no choice but to accept it.

Muting Wayne’s actions meant that he had to pay any price to pull Lin Feng up to his position, and no one would try to make a fool of themselves. It might even invite disaster upon themselves.

The uproar in the main hall died down. Muting looked around and gave the order once more. “I’m in poor health. Tomorrow, the Crown Prince will be managing court. I hope that all officials will cooperate. If there is anything you need, report to Qianqing Palace. Court will be dismissed.” After giving the order, Muting couldn’t take it any longer and dismissed from the court. Accompanied by Lin Ke, he withdrew from the Taihe Hall.

Venus Magnus and the second prince were caught off guard by what happened today. They did not expect Muting to suddenly do something like this. Not only did he confirm the Crown Prince’s position, but Lin Feng was also highly regarded and became the most authoritative person in the empire.

As soon as court was adjourned, Venus Magnus no longer held anything back, and he immediately made his way over to the second prince’s residence to discuss plans.

In the Jingyang Palace, Shaokang Wayne paced back and forth, smashing several teacups in his hand. The current situation of the court was completely different from what he had expected. Originally, Shaokang Wayne thought that as long as he could force Lin Feng to give up the position of general of the Firedance Army, he would be able to control the Firedance Army, and with the cooperation of Venus Magnus, he would be able to suppress the Crown Prince. At that time, he would have power. Now, everything had changed, and the Crown Prince had absolute advantage.

How could Shaokang Wayne, who was used to having the upper hand, accept such a situation? Had his ambition been destroyed just like that? How could he not be angry?

“Second prince, please calm down. You might not have noticed the main point of this matter, but did you see the bodyguard by His Majesty’s side today? That’s not An Long, but the leader of the Lin Family’s Golden Scale Guards. This might be the key to this matter.” Venus Magnus analyzed with a gloomy face.

It had to be said that Venus Magnus was quite experienced. With just a casual analysis, he had grasped the crux of the matter.

“Teacher, you mean to say that all of this was done by that brat from the Lin Family?” Shaokang Wayne looked at Venus Magnus in astonishment.

"Not necessarily. You should know His Majesty's personality. He is very snobbish. How could he give up power so easily? Otherwise, he wouldn't have attacked Lin Tianhe and Lin Zhennan for military power." The gloomy Shaokang Wayne knocked on the table thinking with his knuckles.

“Teacher, what you mean is that Father has been taken hostage? How is that possible? Although Father does not have many Royal Guards by his side, ordinary people can not approach him. After all, those are all soldiers at the peak of Combat General.” Shaokang Wayne’s face was full of disbelief.

“That kid from the Lin family isn’t simple. I’ve always underestimated him, but now that I know who he is, it won’t be too late. Since we’re playing big, let’s play big.” Magnus stood up and said.

“Teacher, what do you mean?” Shaokang Wayne asked in confusion.

“The Golden Lion Army is currently in my hands. We will transfer them back tomorrow, and we will fight it out once.” Magnus said with his hands behind his back.

“Can’t we just send someone to kill that brat from the Lin Family?” Shaokang Wayne hated Lin Feng to the core.

“Right now, Lin Feng is a general. Whenever he goes out, he is followed by Shadow Guards. It is not easy to take action. We can only defeat him fair and square. If we kill him, the Lin Family will have a powerful backer behind them. However, I believe that he will not take action. If he takes action, then he will break the rules. Your Wayne Family’s masters are not there for nothing, and the people behind my Family will not just stand by and watch.” Venus Magnus said sinisterly. No one in the Lin Family knew that the Lin Family no longer had the support of the Po Jun Sect.

“I will kill him in the battle the day after tomorrow,” Shaokang Wayne said confidently.

“You’re wrong. That punk’s aura is very strong today, and he’s at level three too. You won’t be able to win. It’ll be difficult to kill him even if you win. I can give you a way to kill him. The key is your safety after you kill him,” said Shaokang Wayne.

“Once Lin Feng dies, the Lin family will definitely go crazy. At that time, you will go see the Emperor to find out if he is telling the truth. If that is the case, then you will go see the experts your clan arranged in the Imperial Palace. Of course, even if you meet the experts of your clan, you will need to know what to say and what not to say,” Magnus said.

“Teacher, what do you mean?” Shaokang Wayne asked in confusion.

"Haha, if nothing happens to His Majesty, how can you be his emperor? It's best if the Lin family is willing to do it for you." Venus Magnus laughed gloomily.

“Haha, once we kill Lin Feng, the Lin Family will definitely not let Father go. This is my chance. As long as I kill Lante Wayne, the Celestial Kingdom will be mine.” Shaokang Wayne’s face turned savage.

After receiving the emperor's order, Lin Feng began to take action boldly. He made a mess of the royal army and the Firedance Army. The general power was tightly held in his hand. The head commander was the core of the Firedance Army, Lin Feng's trusted subordinate.

As for the ones who guarded the Imperial Palace, they were the elites of the Lin family.

After arranging everything, Lin Feng rushed to the Prime Minister's Manor. There were some things that he had to tell the old Prime Minister. After all, he should be his father-in-law. No, he was his father-in-law. After all, Lin Feng took in his two daughters.

When he arrived at the Prime Minister's Manor, Lin Feng greeted to the Black Evil Guards at the door with cupped fists and waited at the door.

After court, Zhou Tianze was also guessing randomly in the lobby. He didn't know how far Lin Feng had gone, but he was sure he had succeeded.

He just didn’t understand what Muting Wayne meant by letting his daughter and Bolton’s daughter go to the Courteous Spring Temple to pray for the people. Why would there be such an inexplicable order? To harm his daughter? However, even if the emperor wanted to, Lin Feng, who had got his little daughter, wouldn’t allow it. Zhou Lingchen had already informed Zhou Tianze that Lin Feng and Concubine Yun had an affair.

Just as Zhou Tianze was racking his brains, someone said Lin Feng had come to visit.

Zhou Tianze stood up without saying a word and went straight to welcome him. This caused the servant's eyes to widen. Did Prime Minister need to welcome him in person?
