Xu Hao¡¯s call made Lin Xiao a little stunned, but he still pressed the answer button.
"Lin Shuai," Xu Hao said eagerly as soon as the call was connected.
"Haozi, what happened?" Lin Xiao asked.
"Shuai Lin, it's nothing serious. It's just that we just intercepted a secret report sent from Northern Xinjiang to Yanjing. It's about Lin Shuai."
"I was a little worried, so I made a phone call."
Xu Hao said slowly.
"A secret report from Northern Xinjiang to Yanjing? Haha, it's the imperial edict issued today, right?" Lin Xiao suddenly laughed.
Hearing this suddenly, Xu Hao was stunned: "Does Commander Lin know?"
"Not only do I know, I also know that Zhu Youhuang intends to reduce his power and take back my command of the troops stationed in the border fortress," Lin Xiao smiled lightly.
" Northern Xinjiang rarely sends secret reports to Yanjing, but this time it was sent suddenly, and it was about him. It seemed that there was nothing else to do after he came out to reduce power.
Just as Lin Xiao expected, Xu Hao said with a hint of anger: "Commander Lin! This is unfair. You have fought countless times with foreign enemies for the sake of the Yanhuang Kingdom. You have suffered numerous injuries and have made outstanding achievements in battle."
"Now that we have finally had a stable life, Zhu Youhuang has repaid kindness with hatred. Once your military power is reduced, will the next step be to find an excuse to attack you?"
"I will never allow this to happen. I will mobilize the Death Scythe army now, cross the chasm, and ask Zhu Youhuang if he is sitting too comfortably in the emperor's seat!"
Xu Hao could be said to be furious at this moment. How could he not know that in just a few years, Lin Shuai has been fighting in the north and south without stopping, and has eliminated all threats from foreign enemies.
This laid the foundation for stability and peace in the next few decades for the border fortress. But now, his power has been reduced. How can he tolerate it?
"Haozi," Lin Xiao suddenly called out, and said: "My era has passed. Don't send anyone to Northern Xinjiang. If you reduce power, it may not be a bad thing for me."
"You don't need to mention this matter, manage the Death Scythe well."
Hearing Lin Xiao¡¯s words, although Xu Hao was very reluctant, he still regarded Lin Xiao as his own Lin Shuai.
Although everyone in the world knows that he has resigned as the God of Death in the Night, Shi Shou, headed by Xu Hao, does not agree.
They firmly believe that sooner or later, the god of death in the night that can make the world tremble will definitely come back!
"Haozi, the Saint Sect has been uneasy recently and has stretched its arms too far. Send someone to Northern Xinjiang and Yanjing to investigate."
"If they dare to rebel, you know what to do."
Lin Xiao said slowly.
"Yes!" Xu Hao responded quickly.
Hearing Xu Hao's serious answer, Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head helplessly: "It seems like it's not my place to ask about these things now."
After all, Lin Xiao has become accustomed to this feeling over the years, and it is difficult to adapt to the sudden resignation.
¡°Shuai Lin will always be Shuai Lin!¡± Xu Hao said without hesitation.
"Okay, you can figure it out yourself" Lin Xiao said and hung up the phone.
Then he slowly entered the house.
The main reason for coming to Jinling this time was to pick up Yu Siman, and Lin Xiao had no intention of staying in Jinling for too long.
After a brief lunch with his mother, Yu Siman and Li Yang, Lin Xiao set off for Yanjing
Northern Xinjiang.
Since Lin Xiao became the God of Death in the Night and a six-star honorary general of the Yanhuang Kingdom.
It can be said that it was a war in the south and in the north, and wherever it went, everyone was heartbroken.
It is precisely because of him, the God of Death in the Night, that the Yanhuang Kingdom now has a peaceful and prosperous era.
Even within the next few decades, the Yanhuang Kingdom will not have to worry about invasion by foreign enemies at the frontier.
Now that the external troubles are gone, it¡¯s natural to consider internal worries.
Deep in the palace, in the Imperial Study Room, which is heavily guarded by numerous Royal Guardsmen, a majestic-looking man wearing a dragon robe is sitting on the main seat of the Imperial Study Room, unable to calm down for a long time in front of an imperial edict.
This man is none other than the emperor of the Yanhuang Kingdom, Zhu Youhuang, who is lying in the sky and overlooking all living beings in the world.
And beside him stood a tall and graceful old eunuch, Guo Si.
"Your Majesty, are you still worried about the reduction of power?" Guo Si asked cautiously after watching Zhu Youhuang become dazed by the imperial edict since the morning.
Zhu Youhuang rubbed his temples and sighed: "Hey, you are telling me whether I should issue this imperial edict or not. After all, Lin Xiao has a high position."?
"This Lin Xiao has saved the country and me from danger many times."
"And he is like a god in the hearts of the border garrison. Will this sudden reduction of power trigger a mutiny?"
Hearing Zhu Youhuang's words, Guo Si thought for a moment, hesitated to speak, and then said helplessly: "Your Majesty, eunuchs are not allowed to serve as regents. I am a servant who cannot solve your problems. I hope your Majesty will forgive you."
Zhu Youhuang raised his hand and said: "Guo Si, I will make an exception today. I forgive you for not being guilty. Please give me some advice."
Hearing this, Guo Si bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Lin is indeed inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, with overwhelming power, but the ancestral teachings tell us that a country cannot coexist with two masters."
"Lin Houye is already at the top of the government and the public. He has hundreds of thousands of troops stationed at the frontier. Those troops are all tiger and wolf troops. They fight all year round and have extremely high fighting qualities."
"To put it bluntly, if Marquis Lin has second thoughts, I'm afraid we"
Having said this, Guo Si said no more. Zhu Youhuang should have known better at this moment.
At this time, Zhu Youhuang was no longer the weak leader who was trapped in the palace and was forced into the palace by the civil and military forces of the dynasty.
After Lin Xiao cleared away external and internal troubles, Zhu Youhuang also gained real power. Now, he has also revived his imperial style.
The first thing to do is to weaken the real power of some generals. Only in this way can we ensure that he remains secure.
But rashly weakening the power of some other generals will inevitably cause dissatisfaction. In this case, the only choice is to start with the strongest.
That is Lin Xiao. If Lin Xiao's real power can be weakened, then other princes and generals will naturally have nothing to say.
However, this is also the most difficult thing to do.
Zhu Youhuang inherited the Ming Taizu's style of doing things, which was to discard them decisively after using them, or even kill them. Only in this way can he ensure that after a hundred years, future generations of kings can enjoy peace forever.
"Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao, it is said that one general's achievements can make thousands of bones wither, and his achievements can shock the master. Don't blame me for being cruel."
"After all, you have now resigned as the commander of the Death Scythe. I have no reason to be afraid of you. I show weakness in front of you."
"But now, Yanhuang Kingdom no longer needs you, you can retire!"
After the words fell, Zhu Youhuang felt cruel, picked up the jade seal and stamped the imperial edict with the eight characters "Ordered by Heaven, live forever"!
"Guo Si, you set off immediately, arrive in Yanjing before Lin Xiao goes back, and give him the imperial edict." Zhu Youhuang handed the imperial edict to Guo Si and said slowly. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
