Chapter 32: New Scheme, Friction at the Northern Border

After the new commander approached in front of them, everyone was completely dumbfounded. They thought that they were hallucinating.

Wasn't this the pathetic Lin Ran they were talking about just now?

Perhaps they were so shocked that the gifts they had prepared fell to the ground. They picked them up in a panic, afraid that Lin Ran would blame them.

Fortunately, Lin Ran didn't mind. "Long time no see."

Looking at his clothes and the token that represented his identity as the commander, everyone understood that this was not a dream.

Lin Ran really transformed from an insignificant mountain guardian to the commander of the imperial guards!

They were still third-grade guards and had worked their asses off to climb up from the fifth-grade. In the end, Lin Ran overtook them and became their leader.

"I knew all along that Lord Lin was a promising person back then with a bright future ahead of him. As expected, you made it! I congratulate you on your promotion. This is a small gift I prepared for you. I hope you can accept it."

The others were dumbfounded. This bootlicking skill was simply too masterful.

The others were not to be outdone and squeezed to Lin Ran's side.

"I knew that Lord Lin was blessed with a bright future. Now that you have become the commander of the Imperial Guards, it's really our honor to be able to work under your command."

"Exactly! I Prayed day and night just to get the chance to work with Lord Lin. Now that I have the chance, I will be loyal and dedicate my life to my job."

They praised Lin Ran with nice words.. Each of them was better at making nonsense up than the other, trying their best to please Lin Ran.

If not for the fact that Lin Ran was summoned by the emperor, he would probably be bootlicked by them for the entire morning.

Soon, it was time for the imperial court meeting. As the commander of the imperial guard, he naturally had to stay by Emperor Sheng Yuan's side at all times.

Lin Ran knew that the Emperor Sheng Yuan was in a difficult situation, but he did not expect the situation to be worse than he thought.

Basically, the real decision-making power was in the hands of the ministers. At most, Emperor Sheng Yuan was just like a puppet and would not be able to interfere in important matters. Even if she did, her words wouldn't be taken seriously.

Sun Zhanghong and his faction looked at each other. Ordinary people couldn't detect that subtle interaction, but it couldn't escape Lin Ran's sharp eyes.

As a ninth level senior grandmaster, his five senses were extremely acute. No move in the imperial court could escape his eyes.

What were these people plotting again?

One of the ministers stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Lord Li, please."

"The northern border is often harassed by the Yong army. Recently, there has been a lot of friction. Now that the Great Yong Dynasty has suddenly mobilized their troops, I'm afraid they are up to no good."

Many people echoed, "Lord Li, what you said makes sense. the Great Yong Dynasty has been eyeing our country covetously and has been making small moves. I'm afraid they're really conspiring something. We have to take precautions." freewebn ovel.c om

The empress pondered for a moment and said, "We have signed a peace treaty with the Great Yong Dynasty, so we can't afford to fall out with them. Why don't we send an envoy to negotiate first?"

Lord Li shook his head. "This will take too long and give the Great Yong Dynasty an opportunity. Besides, people who don't know will think that we're afraid of them and take us for cowards."

The empress's gaze gradually became sharp as she asked slowly, "Then what do you think we should do?"

"I hope that Your Majesty can send masters to suppress them. This way, we can intimidate those who have evil designs on us and also tell the world that the Heavenly Saint Dynasty is not to be trifled with."

As soon as he said that, many ministers agreed.

"What Lord Li said makes sense. The matter at the border has to be resolved as soon as possible to prevent the enemy from matching further."

"Speaking of masters, who in the entire Heavenly Saint Dynasty is qualified and capable to take on such a mission?"

"I think the Sword God is the most suitable. Didn't he just come out of seclusion? He should be able to teach the Great Yong Dynasty a lesson."

"After all, think about it. If we sent a weak master and lost, wouldn't we be embarrassing ourselves? Only the Sword God can ensure that nothing goes wrong."

At the mention of the Sword God, the empress's expression changed slightly and she subconsciously grabbed the throne.

"The Sword God just cured my poison. He needs time to recuperate. Besides, he never interferes in secular matters. If I ask him to do that, I'm afraid…"

"But the Great Yong Dynasty is not an easy opponent. We can only ask the Sword God to scare off the enemy. Please consider it, Your Majesty."

Most of the courtiers knelt down and said in unison, "Your Majesty, please consider it."

Among them were even those who supported Emperor Sheng Yuan. After all, they did not know the truth, nor did they know about Sun Zhanghong's scheme.

Sun Zhanghong smiled smugly.

It turned out that after the poison scheme failed, this old fox came up with another plan.

He was trying to send the Sword God away. At that time, it would be easier for them to cause a stir in the palace and they would not have to worry about the threat the Sword God posed.

The northern border was thousands of miles away from the Imperial City. It would not be easy for the Sword God to rush back after receiving the news.

To execute his plan, all he needed to do was send some people to secretly intensify the friction between the Yong army and the Heavenly Saint army at the northern border, fan the flames, and exaggerate the matter during the imperial court meeting.

By that time, Emperor Sheng Yuan would have no choice but summon the Sword God again!
