Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 11319: Chapter 11317: The Battle of the Three Kingdoms!

Lin Yi’s previous performance was flawless, but Qin Si’s monitoring didn’t relax at all.

Even though he was sure that Lin Yi wouldn’t be able to see through his plan, it was just as Old Qin had reminded him-he had to be careful.

“This person’s reaction is much calmer than I expected.” Qin Si pondered for a moment and placed a piece in the corner of the chessboard.

Old Qin also placed a piece in the corner. He stroked his beard and smiled.” The Han Imperial Residence is in such a hurry for the funeral. He should be able to guess your intentions behind it.”

“That’s why I find it strange.”

Qin Si revealed a puzzled expression.

The Han Mansion’s intention of going against common sense and holding a funeral on the same day was so obvious that it was almost obvious to those who were interested.

The most crucial point was to make King Han’s death a reality and not give the other five Imperial Residences the chance to make a comeback.

As long as the King of Han was buried, no one would be able to get close to his corpse.

In this way, they could make up the rest of the story.

Even though there would be doubts, including the evidence against Lin Yi, it would be questioned by all parties. However, when had King Qin’s residence ever been afraid of being questioned?

Without King Han’s body, there was no solid evidence, which meant that no one could overturn Lin Yi’s case!

Not to mention, they weren’t just going to bury King Han today, they were going to use private law to bury Lin Yi as well!

Needless to say, the controversy would definitely be even greater, and it would even cause a storm in the city.

However, Han Wang was already dead, and Lin Yi, the main suspect, had already “confessed”. This matter was completely dead, and there would be no turning back!

It was useless to just talk. It was King Qin’s Mansion’s style to be ruthless right from the start.

It was a little rough, but it was definitely useful.

With that, it was a foregone conclusion that King Han’s mansion would withdraw from the alliance. Lin Yi’s death would be a huge blow to the morale of the remaining five mansions.

After this wave, the vertical alliance was already half-destroyed before it was even formed.

Even if the alliance was forced, the threat to King Qin’s Mansion would be greatly reduced.

Of course, this was only the most superficial layout.

But even if it was just this, Lin Yi would have been worried if he was in his position. After all, this was an overwhelming disadvantage.

If he only used conventional methods, there was almost no possibility of breaking out of this situation.

If he couldn’t break out of this situation, then he would be buried with King Han. How could he still remain calm at this time?

More importantly, Lin Yi didn’t look like he was just pretending to be calm. He looked like he had a plan in mind.

” We’re playing chess,” Old Qin said meaningfully.” He’s playing chess too. Maybe he’s already placed a piece in a place we didn’t expect.”

“I really can’t tell.” Qin Si’s eyelids twitched.

With his habit, once he set his eyes on someone, he would definitely figure out everything about that person. At the very least, he was not allowed to leave any secrets in front of him.

Lin Yi’s information after coming to the inner court was simple and clear. He didn’t have any secrets.

However, Lin Yi gave him a feeling that he was shrouded in layers of fog. It seemed clear, but it was actually blurry.

According to his experience, this meant that he must have missed out on some very important clues.

But Lin Yi had hidden these clues too well, and he couldn’t do anything about it.

“I’m curious as well, what kind of backup plan did he have to make him so confident?” Old Qin looked at Lin Yi from afar.

“Maybe he’s just blindly confident?” Qin Si thought for a moment and said.

“There’s a 70% chance of that happening.” Old Qin smiled.

“There is still thirty percent left…”

In an instant, Qin Si’s mind had already gone through every detail, but he still found nothing. He couldn’t help but frown and whisper,”What could it be?”

Old Qin shook his head and said nothing.

At this moment, Lu Chunfeng came to the side of the prison carriage. He said with interest,” Brother Lin, you look like you’ve already prepared a backup plan. If I’m not wrong, you’ve already informed the other five kings in advance, right?”

“Brother Lu, you’re a smart person,” Lin Yi said, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

” Brother Lin,” Lu Chunfeng chuckled.” After receiving the news of King Han’s sudden death, if Brother Lin didn’t make any preparations, how would he dare to barge into the Han Imperial Residence alone?” I never thought that Brother Lin was such a brainless boor.”

“Brother Lu, you overestimate me, I’m quite a brute sometimes.” Lin Yi laughed at himself.

“Brother Lin, you’re being humble, but…”

“Brother Lin, aren’t you afraid that your desperate counterattack will directly drag the other five imperial palaces into this?” Lu Chunfeng changed the topic.

“What do you mean, Brother Lu?” Lin Yi asked, surprised.

“Do you really not understand?”

“Brother Lin, the backup plan of you and the five Imperial Mansions has long been within their calculations,” Lu Chunfeng said with a scrutinizing expression.

” Let’s get straight to the point. If the King of Han is buried successfully, then today’s game will end here.”

” And if something happens midway, then this will turn into a fishing trap. Everything is bait to lure the five kings to take the bait.”

“The viciousness and decisiveness of Prince Qin’s mansion is not something that ordinary people can fathom.”

“Brother Lu, are you saying that King Qin’s mansion is planning to strike first and use this opportunity to start a massacre?” Lin Yi was shocked.

“Do you think it’s impossible?” Lu Chunfeng asked meaningfully.

Lin Yi fell silent.

This wasn’t impossible, it was very possible!

According to common sense, no matter how powerful King Qin’s Mansion was, there was still a clear gap between them and the overall strength of the five kings.

Moreover, if they really fought, the experts of the Han Imperial Residence might seem obedient now, but who knew which side they would stand on.

The most likely scenario was that they would help whoever won.

If it were any other faction, they would most likely make the most cautious choice in this situation. Before the situation was clear enough, they would definitely not rashly attack.

However, the reason why King Qin’s Residence was King Qin’s Residence was that they never played by the rules.

Otherwise, it would still be the most despised outsider among the seven kings, and not the leader of the seven kings ‘mansions that made all the factions pale.

Lu Chunfeng said faintly,” The actions of the five kings cannot escape the control of King Qin’s Mansion. Once they are fully gathered, they are indeed powerful. However, any alliance has a fatal weakness.”

” They lack trust in each other.”

” Usually, when you and I are on good terms, it might not show. But once it’s time to get serious, it’s a completely different matter.”

” Especially if they were to lose their footing this time. Brother Lin, what do you think will happen?”
