Chapter 123: The Collapsing Gold Family, The Deal Between Lin Chen and the Royal Family!

For the time being, this was the only way to arrange matters in Sky Moon City.
However, Lin Chen would definitely not trust others so much and really let go of his city without managing it anymore.
This was also the reason why Lin Chen had looked for Winter.
To be honest, compared to Protector Duke Dragon Yandao, who he had never met before, Lin Chen was more willing to trust Winter.
“Mr. Winter, didn’t you say that you would find Princess Qingyue to help me? But why is the person who appeared the Protector Duke?” As soon as Lin Chen met him, he expressed his doubts.
“Hehe, City Lord Lin, don’t you think that Protector Duke’s arrival was too sudden… To be honest, it was actually my idea to let Protector Duke step forward to resolve the problem of Sky Moon City.”
Winter explained a portion of what he had done to Lin Chen.
It was all his suggestion to ask Princess Qingyue to ask Dragon Yandao for help.
After that, Winter and Lin Chen analyzed many things.
When Lin Chen heard some of the issues, he finally learned more.
First of all, the current outcome was good.
Dragon Yandao’s arrival completely shocked the marquises and nobles.
Even Gold Spear accepted Dragon Yandao’s arrangements without any objection.
In fact, although on the surface Dragon Yandao only asked Gold Spear to go back and rest, everyone knew that he was actually seizing power… He directly seized Gold Spear’s power and even deprived him of the position of governor of Sea Conqueror Province.
Did Dragon Yandao have such power?
Lin Chen was not too sure.
However, judging from what Winter had told Lin Chen, with Dragon Yandao’s status, even if the person behind Gold Spear was the king, he would definitely not disrespect Dragon Yandao for Gold Spear’s sake.
Or rather…
The king might also be happy to see things develop in this direction.
This was because if it continued to develop in other directions, it might be difficult for him, the king, to hold things back…
If Dragon Yandao did not appear today to handle this matter well, Lin Chen would have defeated Gold Spear, owned a city, and had the God Slaying Array. In the God Slaying Array, he could even fight a Rank Three individual…
Then, what about the Dragon Spirit Kingdom?
They definitely had to do something!
Sending troops to exterminate him?
Then who should they send?
It was mainly because Lin Chen was too fierce!
The Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Void skill, coupled with the enhancement of the God Slaying Array and the God Slaying Strike…
To be honest, no one below the Third Rank in the Dragon Kingdom could withstand it.
In the future, Sky Moon City might even become stronger upon sending an extermination force.
The nobles were also very dissatisfied…
At that time, it might turn into an internal crisis in the Dragon Spirit Kingdom.
As a king, what king wouldn’t want stability in the country?
At this moment, Dragon Yandao’s appearance gave everyone a relatively peaceful way to resolve the matter.
First of all, the person who died was ultimately dead.
Therefore, he did not care.
Everyone all looked forward to the future.
Of course, Lin Chen was the one who killed this person.
However, Dragon Yandao could not punish Lin Chen now, for reasons already stated above.
To be able to let Lin Chen go to the empire’s battlefield at this time was actually equivalent to letting Lin Chen redeem himself… It was just that there were some things that were not said openly.
With Dragon Yandao’s appearance and Lin Chen’s trip to the empire’s battlefield, the king who remained would find the nobles to reconcile. Everyone would give each other face and this matter would be over for the time being.
That was about it.
Next was Winter… or rather, Princess Qingyue, who was behind him. She had also spent some effort on this matter.
In fact, he even invited the Protector Duke.
Princess Qingyue definitely had her own requests as well.
Winter said to Lin Chen, “The Eldest Princess hopes that City Lord Lin will first announce that he will donate ten dazzling soul crystals to the Eldest Princess as a donation for the military expenses of the empire’s battlefield… However, this money will be used by the merchant guild under the Eldest Princess. Of course, since it’s military expenses, the Eldest Princess will definitely allocate it to the Dragon Protector Army in installments. In addition, in exchange, the Eldest Princess will send a person with a special identity to Sky Moon City.” “What person?” Lin Chen frowned.
Winter smiled and said, “This person’s identity isn’t simple. They will either be a descendant of the royal family, or some sort of princess… In short, the reason why this person will come to Sky Moon City is because the Eldest Princess will use them to intimidate those nobles. With them here, we can guarantee that no blind nobles will dare to invade Sky Moon City.”
Lin Chen understood that this Princess Qingyue still had some methods.
Although Winter said that she would send a prince or princess to protect Sky Moon City, Lin Chen was actually very familiar with this routine…
Wasn’t this just a hostage!
Princess Qingyue definitely had other requests.
Otherwise, would she be able to do such a thing as sending hostages to her subjects’ cities with just ten dazzling soul stones?
Most importantly, since Princess Qingyue had said so, it meant that she had already convinced the king.
“Princess Qingyue, does she have any other instructions?”
Lin Chen was amused.
As expected, Winter knew him better.
To be honest, Lin Chen was still a little worried about his city if he used the prestige of the Protector Duke to suppress the remaining five marquis families in the Sea Conqueror Province.
However, Princess Qingyue’s move made Lin Chen not have to worry.
That was a hostage from the royal family!
Who would dare to take the risk of universal condemnation and attack Sky Moon City when they knew this situation?
What if something happened to the royal family hostage?
At the very least, Princess Qingyue’s method could ensure the safety of Sky Moon City.
It was just that…
