Seeing Shen Lou, Lin Xin subconsciously hid the scimitar in his hand behind his back, "I forced Du Huang to resign, and he agreed."
Shen Lou caught the words of "not going to the village and not going to the store at the back" suddenly, but Shen Lou caught it firmly and said with a slight nod: "That's good, it's better than being killed by Yuan Ah." In his previous life, Du Huang died very badly. Yuan'a Fourteenth Blade, who belonged to the Marquis of the Deer, bloodbathed the Du Mansion, leaving no one in his family of sixteen.
Lin Xin clenched the swallowing hook tightly in his hand, and the bloody aura of the demon knife spread around his wrist faintly, "If I said that I didn't order Du Huang to kill Du Huang in my previous life, would you believe it?"
Shen Lou frowned, looked at Lin Xin's wrists which were getting paler and paler, "I know."
"Huh?" Lin Xin was taken aback for a moment, and the evil spirit that reached his forearm dissipated instantly, "You know?"
Shen Lou took the swallowing hook and put a new piece of deer glass on it to suppress the evil spirit, "Yuan'er Fourteenth Blade is loyal to the seal after you die."
Lin Xin smiled wryly, if Yuan'a Shishiren hadn't betrayed, he wouldn't have died so badly back then. Following his subordinates who were born and died, at the critical moment of life and death, the birds and beasts scattered, leaving behind a paper-like deer resting platform and Lin Busheng, who had lost all spiritual power.
The wind suddenly picked up, making the horns of the robe rattle.
"The sky is dry, be careful of the candles!" The watchman came out of the alley, and the two of them jumped onto the wall immediately.
It was only after this interruption that Lin Xin remembered that he didn't ask Shen Lou why he appeared here just now, and he started to explain the bad things he did when he came up, which seemed a bit silly, "Why are you here?"
"It's not easy to enter the palace at night, so I'll pick you up." Shen Lou returned the scimitar to Lin Xin. As a modified ancient knife, the hook is actually not suitable for flying. They are still living in the East Palace, which is not very convenient.
Lin Xin looked at Shen Lou suspiciously, "Tungou can't enter the palace at night, but Yuyuan can?" There is a curfew in the imperial city, and if you fly through the sky at night, you will be shot down by the guards.
Shen Lou was taken aback for a moment.
"Hahahaha..." Lin Xin couldn't help laughing, it was rare to see Shen Qingque being stupid, which greatly entertained him, and hooked Shen Lou's neck to tease him, "Hey, Shen Qingque, you are not worried about me, are you? ?”
The surroundings suddenly fell silent, "Bang bang bang—" The watchman who had already walked into another box dutifully knocked on his clapper, and the crisp sound echoed in the silent night.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward, Lin Xin curled his lips, this guy is really not fun, he let go of Shen Lou's neck and was about to take him to sleep in the Prince's Mansion, when he suddenly heard a firm and forceful "hmm".
Looking back in disbelief, Shen Lou was looking at him calmly, his integrity was taken for granted.
The voices opposing the deer-discretion order in the court and in the middle are getting louder and louder. Civil servants are divided into two factions, and they quarrel every day. Emperor Yuanshuo didn't stop him, but the gully between his brows got deeper day by day.
"Some people's hands have already reached into my court." Feng Zhuoyi held a vermilion pen and sketched on a roster.
"Father wants to take this opportunity to eliminate the power of the princes?" The prince looked at the roster. If these were really involved with the princes, then the court's situation would be in jeopardy. Just know."
"If you've been in business for a hundred years, if you don't even have personal contacts in the court, you won't be able to hold on to the family business." Lin Xin, who was sitting on the side wiping the hook, interjected.
"As a king, sometimes you have to turn one eye and close one eye. I can tolerate them leaving people to inquire about the news, but they want to intervene in government orders..." Emperor Yuan Shuo lowered his eyes and drew a circle on Du Huang's name.
Du Huang always knew the current affairs and knew how to advance and retreat, but this time he jumped out suddenly, which was very unusual. But Zhongshuling was very capable, which made him hesitate.
"The Hou's mansion in central Beijing is almost done. Go to the Habayashi Army and pick some good ones, and train them yourself. Next month, I guess you'll have to go out to do some business." The emperor handed over a transfer order with the seal on it. To Lin Xin.
Lin Xin swung his saber horizontally, and slowly swiped his palm against the arc of the thin blade, making sure that there was no trace of dirt, then put the saber into its sheath neatly, received the order, and left in response.
The prince looked at Lin Xin's back, thoughtfully.
"What else is there for the prince?" The emperor was a little disappointed that the prince had not been able to win Lin Xin over so far, but instead pushed him further and further away.
"The weather is getting colder, and I'm afraid the Northland will be uneasy again. My son thought about it, and invited the barbarian envoys to Beijing to discuss marriage matters." Fengzhang bowed his head and submitted a copy of the regulations drawn up by Zhan Shifu.
"Marriage? Who do you plan to marry?" The emperor flipped through the regulations and looked up at the prince.
"Yunxi."
Lin Xin took the transfer order and left the imperial study, and met Feng Chong who was going to deliver the memorial.
"Xinxin, where are you going?" Feng Zhong asked him with a smile.
Lin Xin stopped, looked around from the corner of his eye, no one was around, and whispered to Feng Chong: "Go back and remind you, Mrs. Du, that the emperor is a little unhappy."
Feng Zhong looked at Lin Xin, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Lin Xin didn't give him a chance to chatter, missed him and left directly. Taking the transfer order, he headed for the Habayashi Army garrison.
Dayong's Habayashi Army is different from that of the previous dynasty. The Habayashi Army used to protect the imperial city in the previous dynasty mostly used the children of princes, and more than half of them were full of wine bags and rice bags. But Dayong has Luli, who can cultivate immortals, and the children of the great nobles will not guard the royal family, and the Yulin Army are all masters of humble origins.
Many people who were born in the Qiuwei Martial Arts Department entered here. After several years of experience, he either became a royal guard or joined the army as a general.
Standing on the high platform, Lin Xin couldn't help laughing at himself as he watched the aura surging in the classroom.
These masters with powerful spiritual power are the trump cards of the royal family, and they are also the fundamental difference between the royal family of the Central Plains and the princes. Relying on the imperial examination, the royal family can recruit talents from all over the world. Although there is no one who can compete with the top experts of the great nobles, the victory lies in the large number of people, and the combat power is stronger than that of the four domains.
Small nobles and ordinary monks, if they want to get ahead, they can only rely on the royal family. Back then, he didn't see through it, and thought that those people who followed him through life and death were his people.
"Master Hou, look, what do you want, the subordinates will find it for you." The commander of the Habayashi Army smiled obsequiously, and carefully served the red-haired Lord Hou.
"Okay—" There was a burst of cheers in the arena, and several people who were fighting decided the winner. Seven or eight people fell down, and only one was still standing. The man was holding an iron sword in his hand, panting rapidly, and his solid muscles were clearly visible through the sweaty thin shirt.
"That was the martial arts examination three years ago. People in the same discipline as him have entered the palace as royal guards. He is the only one who offended the nobles because he can't speak. He has been staying here and can't be promoted." The leader of the Habayashi Army saw Lin If you are interested in the letter, introduce it immediately.
Lin Xin squinted at the man full of spiritual power, his eyes were cold. He knew that man's experience much better than the leader of the Habayashi Army. That person was one of his Yuan'a Fourteen Blades.
"Hey, Lord Hou!" Looking at Hou Luhou who turned around and left without saying a word, the commander of the Habayashi Army was a little at a loss, not knowing where he had offended the Lord.
Before Feng Zhong could bring Lin Xin's words to Du Huang, the old man of the Du family passed away, and Du Huang sued Ding You.
Emperor Yuan Shuo was very surprised, "Lao Houye is not your real grandfather."
"I have been in Beijing for many years, and my family has been taken care of by the old Hou Ye. I should be a filial piety for the Hou Ye, and I hope His Majesty will make it happen." Du Huang said with his forehead on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
Feng Zhuoyi saw something unusual, so he agreed to Ding You by holding back a few words.
"Du Gong, if you leave like this, the Zhongshu Province will be messed up." Thinking of what Lin Xin asked him to bring, Feng Chong felt a little uneasy.
"Your Highness, you are serious. There is nothing in this world that is obligatory. If Du leaves, someone will replace him." Du Huang said calmly.
"Is this matter related to cutting the deer?" Feng Zhong asked in a low voice. In fact, he wanted to ask if it had something to do with the cutting deer.
Du Huang smiled wryly and shook his head, no matter what Feng Zhong asked, he kept his mouth shut and didn't dare to say more.
Feng Chong pursed his lips and turned to look for Lin Xin.
Having not used the scimitar for a long time, Lin Xin practiced the machete one move at a time in the courtyard. Lu Li's spiritual power flowed along the scimitar, gushed out from the tip of the knife, bent back to the handle, and danced like a complete circle. It is most convenient to cut off the head when the moon turns into a full moon.
From the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of Feng Zhong walking in, he didn't take it seriously, and continued to practice the knife.
"Xinxin!" After a long while of anger, he opened his mouth aggressively, but what he called out was such an appellation. Feng Chong choked for a moment, turned his back and slapped himself lightly. Turning around again, facing Lin Xin's approaching face, he was startled.
"What are you doing?" Lin Xin pushed him with a smile, "It doesn't matter if it's big or small, call me Senior Brother."
Feng Zhong was pushed back, grabbed Lin Xin's shoulder to barely stand still, "Let me ask you, did you do what happened to Du Huang?"
"Yes." Lin Xin said casually.
Feng Zhong didn't expect him to admit it so quickly, he was silent for a while, "I don't know what you want to do, but Du Huang is a capable minister..."
"I didn't kill him, it's already very good." Lin Xin patted Feng Zhong's chest with a knife, "If His Royal Highness is here to Xingshi to inquire about crimes, please go back."
"Lin Xin!" Feng Zhong was a little angry, "What exactly are you going to do, can you discuss it with me? Jiangshan Sheji is not a joke!"
"Is this your country?" Lin Xin choked, looking at Feng Zhong's disheartened face, he became angry, "It's not your turn to worry about it now!"
Feng Zhong's face was flushed, and he shook his sleeves angrily and left.
Shen Lou who was standing in the corner came out, "Didn't you tell him?"
"I can't open my mouth, I thought Master said it!" Lin Xin angrily hacked at the rockery, and chopped off a section of Taihu Lake stone.
"Mo Qi, he will understand," Shen Lou casually tried to persuade, but the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly, "Let me practice sword with you."
