Zhu Di nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Third Brother!
After listening to my sister-in-law’s valuable advice, I already have a general idea in my mind on how to explain the battle situation in Shuozhou Wei.

I will report this matter to my father in a secret memorial later, and will never let the Prince of Jin’s Mansion suffer any adverse effects due to the battle situation in Shuozhou Guard.”

After saying this, Zhu Di stretched out his bony fingers and firmly grasped the porcelain bowl containing century egg and lean meat porridge.

For a moment he only felt the aroma of rice, meat and the unique fragrance of preserved eggs intertwined together.

The rising wisps of hot air are extremely tempting.

Then Zhu Di picked up the mixed flour steamed bun beside him and started to eat it with the century egg and lean meat porridge.

I saw him taking a bite of steamed bun and a mouthful of porridge, eating very happily.

The Adam’s apple rolled up and down while swallowing, and every bite was like savoring a rare delicacy in the world.

The mixed flour steamed buns had the simple and mellow flavor of grains, and the delicate and smooth flavor of the preserved egg and lean meat porridge blended with it, playing a wonderful symphony of taste in Zhu Di’s mouth.

At this moment, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face, without any of his usual majestic airs.

At this moment, Zhu Di seemed like just an ordinary person who was enjoying the food to his heart’s content. Seeing this, Zhu Gang also picked up his chopsticks. For a while, the only sound in the tent was the sound of the two people eating.

At the same time that the brothers Zhu Di and Zhu Gang were enjoying century egg and lean meat porridge and mixed flour steamed buns, the Lin family in Jiangnan was shrouded in a sudden and huge haze.

When the news of the annihilation of the death squad army hit the Lin family like a heavy hammer without warning, the entire family instantly fell into chaos.

Inside the Lin family mansion in Jiangnan, the originally peaceful and orderly atmosphere was gone.

The servants ran around the courtyards in panic, their steps hurried and their faces terrified.

They whispered the shocking news to each other, and everyone’s face was filled with anxiety and fear.

The main hall, which used to be solemn and dignified, was now in chaos.

The elders of the Lin family gathered together, all of them had solemn expressions, frowned brows, and their eyes were full of worry and anxiety.

Some people paced back and forth in the hall with their hands behind their backs.

He was mumbling to himself, as if thinking of a strategy to deal with the situation.

Some people sat in their chairs with dull eyes, as if they had not yet recovered from such a heavy blow.

The younger generation has also lost their former calmness and composure.

They whispered to each other, their words filled with worry about the future fate of their family.

Some people showed anger on their faces and clenched their fists.

He shouted that he wanted to find out who was behind the incident and avenge those who died.

Others looked terrified, worrying that their family would never recover and would be doomed to failure.

The entire Jiangnan Lin family mansion now seemed to be caught in the center of a storm.

Everyone is struggling in this chaotic vortex, not knowing where their future lies.

Just when the Jiangnan Lin family was in chaos and everyone was panicked by the news that the death squad had been annihilated, a steady and hurried sound of footsteps came from outside the meeting hall.

Lin De, who was temporarily pushed forward to act as the person in charge, was walking quickly towards the meeting hall with a serious expression and hurried steps.

In this chaotic situation, he pretended to be calm and tried to stabilize the Lin family’s position by himself.

Next to Lin De, there was a man disguised as an attendant, who was none other than Jiang Lin, the deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

He had a tall and straight figure, and although he was dressed like a follower, he could not hide his innate cold temperament.

At this time, Jiang Li was wearing an ordinary cloth hat with the brim slightly lowered.

Half-covering his sharp hawk-like eyes, it was hard to tell his true intentions. He was wearing a plain blue cloth shirt, and although he looked ordinary, every movement revealed his well-trained and capable manner.

The two soon arrived in front of the meeting hall, and Lind took a deep breath.

Then he straightened his slightly messy clothes and reached out to push open the heavy door of the council hall.

With a creaky sound, the door slowly opened.

The noisy sound in the meeting hall suddenly became quieter, and everyone’s eyes were all cast towards the door. They were all expecting Lind to bring a solution to the disaster.

“Master Lin, we have been waiting here for a long time, hoping that you can come and take charge of the situation.

If that old bastard Lin Xiucheng hadn’t come up with a bad idea, saying that he could use the help of the Lin family of Luzhou to get rid of the King of Jin, the current situation wouldn’t have happened.

I hope that Mr. Lin can be magnanimous and save us from suffering.

As long as the Jiangnan Lin family can survive this disaster, I, Lin Hongyi, am willing to fully support Master Lin in taking the position of family head.”

Lin Xiucheng, who was sitting not far away, was already filled with anger that was difficult to vent because of the sudden change in his family.

Hearing Lin Hongyi’s words at this moment, it was like a powder keg with a lit fuse that exploded instantly.

His eyes were wide open, and anger was burning in them.

Veins popped out on his forehead and his face was filled with rage.

Almost at the same moment when Lin Hongyi finished speaking, Lin Xiucheng suddenly reached out and grabbed the tea bowl on the coffee table beside him.

There was still some unfinished tea in the tea bowl, and with his violent movements, the tea splashed everywhere.

Then Lin Xiucheng swung his arm and used all his strength to smash the tea bowl towards Lin Hongyi.

The tea bowl flew towards Lin Hongyi like a cannonball, accompanied by a whistling sound.

The people around subconsciously dodged upon seeing this, and screams of surprise were heard in the meeting hall.

The tea bowl drew a sharp arc in the air, carrying Lin Xiucheng’s anger and dissatisfaction, and rushed straight towards Lin Hongyi.

The eyes of everyone present were fixed on the tea bowl that was whizzing towards Lin Hongyi, as if time had frozen at this moment.

Seeing that a disaster was about to happen, Jiang Lin reacted quickly in a flash.

He looked calm, and his right hand casually reached to his waist and took out a piece of silver.

Then Jiang Li raised his arm lightly, his movements were smooth and natural, without any delay.

The piece of silver was like a bullet fired from a gun, making a whistling sound and shooting towards the flying tea bowl at an extremely fast speed.

With a crisp “dang” sound, the broken silver hit the tea bowl accurately.

The huge impact force caused the tea bowl to change its flight trajectory instantly. The tea bowl, which was originally heading straight for Lin Hongyi’s face, was knocked off course.

With a loud bang, it fell heavily to the ground and shattered into pieces, with porcelain fragments flying everywhere.

The tea also spilled all over the floor, spreading on the ground, as if it was the trace left by the prelude to this fierce conflict.

This sudden change made everyone present gasp.

They all shifted their gaze from the broken tea bowl on the ground to Jiang Lin, their eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

Who on earth is this seemingly ordinary follower, and why does he have such amazing skills and such decisive reactions?

In the meeting hall, it was so quiet for a while that you could hear a pin drop.

All that was left was the rising and falling heartbeats of the Jiangnan Lin family and the tense atmosphere that had not yet dissipated. (End of this chapter)
