"Lin Fan, do you really like me?"
As if unsure, General Bailing said sadly...
"What I said is true. In fact, I have liked you for a long time. Bailing, when everything in the world is solved, you can return to the battlefield with me."
Bai Ling nodded and threw himself into the boy's arms, crying and gently caressing Bai Ling's back. Lin Fan's face was also filled with an indescribable strangeness.
Dusk leaves and night falls.
A darkness shrouded every inch of the entire land. At this moment, Longteng City was completely boiling. Although the royal family strictly prohibited this matter from being leaked, there is no airtight wind in the world. I don’t know when and where it started. Rumors began that the royal family was trying to take care of themselves. The safety of the people actually disregarded the life and death of the people.
Inside the palace.
"Old man, what do you think of this matter?" The entire Longteng City now knows that Baibaotang defeated the Jiuyang War Sect. When Ouyang Hongbai heard this, he was completely stunned. He really couldn't imagine that a young man actually killed him. A strong warrior king also drove the Jiuyang War Sect out of Longteng City.
At this moment, Duanmu Wentian's face was cold and cold, not at all as gentle and elegant as usual. After all, he was not trustworthy. It would have been fine if the young man did not have such strength. But with the news he had just received, Lin Fan not only rushed back to Longteng City in time, but also brought him with him. A strong warrior king.
The strong War Emperor was a strong War Emperor, let alone the entire Longteng Empire, even the Jiuyang War Sect had only one War Emperor, and he was beheaded.
Duanmu Wentian began to feel a little regretful. If he had persisted for a while longer, even until Lin Fan came, the result would have been completely different. With another war emperor joining the empire, the national power of the Soaring Dragon Empire would have instantly increased. But now he knows It was all over because he personally pushed out a war emperor and a young man with unlimited potential.
"Brother Ouyang, do you think I did something wrong this time?"
Seeing his old buddy like this, Ouyang Hongbai sighed slightly in his heart. What else could he say? After all, things have already happened and he said...: "There is no way to say who is right or wrong in this matter. If we tried our best to save the Lin family at that time, what if Lin Fan didn't come back? What would happen if the two of us start a war?"
After hearing this, Duanmu Wentian, who had a gloomy expression just now, suddenly regained his composure and said... "Brother Ouyang is right. If I tried my best to protect the Lin family, it would be the people who would suffer in the end. I am the king of a country, so what if I occasionally break my promise?" "With a clear conscience"
"Old man, now is not the time to talk about this. The most important thing is that you and Lin Fan had an agreement back then. Now the Lin family is almost destroyed. If nothing happens, Lin Fan will definitely enter the palace and ask how we should answer then."
Both of them knew in their hearts that Lin Fan was no longer what he used to be. After all, he had a War Emperor to protect him. Even a human-level War Sect might not dare to mess with him. Now the Jiuyang War Sect would basically never come to Longteng City again. Even his ancestors were If nothing goes wrong, the Jiuyang War Sect's status may plummet after returning.
But you must know that if you want to establish a human-level war sect, you must have a war emperor sitting in the sect. Now the war emperor of Jiuyang war sect is killed. If nothing happens, other war sects who had enmity with Jiuyang war sect before will definitely be hurt. .
Since Lin Fan was able to kill a War Emperor and repel the Jiuyang War Sect, it was enough to show that Lin Fan was no longer treating Lin Fan's affairs as a trivial matter. Duanmu Wentian knew that he could not be careless.
"Your Majesty, Lin Fan, asks for an audience."
Speaking of Cao Cao, when Cao Cao heard that Lin Fan actually asked for an audience at this time, both Ouyang Hongbai and Duanmu Wentian looked distressed. But you must know that it was already late at night, and under normal circumstances, all ministers would not ask for an audience at this time.
If it were Lin Fan Duanmu Wentian in the past, no matter how much he appreciated it in his heart, he would never summon him casually. After all, the emperor has the ways of an emperor, but can he do it now
But you must know that Lin Fan not only killed the ancestors of the Jiuyang War Sect, but also made the Jiuyang War Sect leave Longteng City. With this strength alone, the Longteng Empire could not afford to offend him unless the ancestors were invited to take action.
"Bring Lin Fan into the Royal Garden"
"It's Your Majesty"
After tidying up his clothes, Duanmu Wentian said helplessly... "Old man, please come with me. I'm really afraid that the boy will kill me if he gets excited."
"Hahaha, it turns out you are scared sometimes." Ouyang Hongbai laughed three times, took a deep look at Jiutian Duyue and said... "I believe Lin Fan will not do anything inappropriate."
"Oh? Brother Ouyang, it seems you know Lin Fan very well?"
"Although I don't know him well, I know that this son is not an unreasonable person. The reason why we don't protect the safety of the Lin family is for the sake of the overall situation. I believe that he has also thought of this. Otherwise, instead of asking for an audience, he would go directly to the palace. "
Nodding, Duanmu Wentian is not a fool and can become the king of a country. Duanmu Wentian is much smarter than others. Of course he knows what Ouyang Hongbai said. If Lin Fan really blames the royal family for not protecting the Lin family, then he is not asking for permission so late.
"Let's go, old man, can't you really defeat this person with your methods?"
"so hard"
The Imperial Garden Under normal circumstances, the Imperial Garden of the imperial palace is for the comfort of the royal family, so other people except the royal family do not need to easily enter. The reason why Duanmu Wentian summoned Lin Fan in the Imperial Garden shows how much he values Lin Fan.
By the time the two of them arrived, Lin Fan had already sat on a stone chair and had a meal. After all, he had traveled for several days and didn't eat anything. He was an iron rice and steel, and he was not a god, so of course he needed to eat.
"Lin Aiqing, you are finally back, so I miss you so much."
Hearing Duanmu Wentian's words, Lin Fan shivered and thought that his head was numb, but he said with a smile on his face... "It is also an honor for Lin Fan to see His Majesty again."
"Okay" he took Lin Fan and sat down together. Duanmu Wentian always had a smile on his face. If other ministers saw it, I wonder if he would go home and buy two kilograms of tofu to compensate for his death. After all, Duanmu Wentian would never smile easily. He always looked cold and serious, but now he suddenly smiled and even Lin Fan couldn't bear it.
"Lin Aiqing, where have you been during this time?"
"War Territory" did not hide anything at all. After all, the two people in front of them should have known about their entry into the War Territory. At this time, they saluted Ouyang Hongbai and said, "Senior Ouyang, you are polite."
"Lin Fan, you don't have to be polite."
War zone
Ouyang Hongbai and Duanmu Wentian were still shocked when they heard the young man in front of them say that they had entered the war zone. After all, they both knew what the war zone meant.
"Lin Aiqing, are you going to the war zone for something?"
"Of course, I originally belonged to the Lingxiao War Sect. This time I returned to the sect mainly to help the sect be promoted to a prefecture-level war sect."
Prefectural level war sect.
Duanmu Wentian asked eagerly when he heard the words "prefecture-level war sect": "Has Lin Aiqing been successfully promoted to Lingxiao war sect?"
Lin Fan nodded and did not hide anything at all. Although he was not prepared to pursue the case this time, it did not mean that he would not put some pressure on the royal family and Duanmu Wentian. But you must know that an earth-level war sect is much more powerful than a human-level war sect.
Hearing the word success, Duanmu Wentian has already stirred up huge waves. As the emperor of the Dragon Soaring Empire, he is not as ignorant as others. Duanmu Wentian is very aware of the hierarchy of the war domain and war sects from top to bottom. There is a strict hierarchy of people. How big is the gap between the first-level war sect and the prefecture-level war sect.
If the Jiuyang War Sect is a one-sided mountain, then the Lingxiao War Sect is a double-layered mountain. At this moment, Duanmu Wentian finally understood in his heart why Lin Fan came back this time with a powerful War Emperor by his side. After all, he was a War Emperor. For a prefecture-level war sect, it is still very capable. "Your Majesty, Lin Fan, has something to ask you. I wonder if your Majesty can answer it."
"Whatever Lin Aiqing said, I will definitely tell you as long as I know it."
I don't know why Lin Fan now feels like vomiting when he sees Duanmu Wentian in front of him. It is rare in the world that a person can pretend to be so shameless.
"Your Majesty, if Lin Fan's memory has not deteriorated, I remember that I made an agreement with your Majesty. As long as the Lin family is in Longteng City, your Majesty will protect them for a day. I don't know if your Majesty still remembers this agreement."
Finally asked.
After listening to the young man's question in front of him, Duanmu Wentian didn't show any strangeness on his face because the two of them had already guessed that the young man would ask such a question. Fortunately, the young man was just asking now without any intention of pursuing any investigation. In this case, everything would be much easier to handle. .
This time Duanmu Wentian didn't hide anything at all. After all, the facts are in front of him. No matter how strong your lying ability is, the fact is that the facts cannot be changed at all. So Duanmu Wentian prepared to use one move to retreat.
"Lin Aiqing had an agreement between us, but the reason why the royal family did not come forward to protect the Lin family before. I believe Lin Aiqing can also guess the reason. No matter what, the Jiuyang War Sect is an existence above the world. Even if I have the intention, I am powerless. After all, I am As the king of a country, what I want to consider is not the Lin family but an empire. For the sake of the Lin family, I will bring the entire empire into a place of eternal destruction. I can't do it, so in the end I chose to give up on the Lin family."
After hearing Duanmu Wentian's words, Ouyang Hongbai was shocked and wondered what happened to his old friend. Wouldn't it be obvious to others that he didn't want to take action
