Chapter 30: Ask for nothing but a promise!

"What's the matter, could it be that after taking away those four cheats, what happened?"

"It's not that anything has changed, but after taking away the four secret books, my father found that there were two lines of small characters on the stone table!"

"Oh, what is the word?" Lin Nuo suddenly became interested, if that tomb was really left by Liu Bowen, then what words would this land immortal leave behind?

"It's just a small courtesy, not a respect

Ask for nothing more than a promise!"

Lin Nuo blinked, this is really Liu Bowen's stay? Why does it sound a little whispered and begging?

"Looking at the literal meaning, it should be that the owner of the tomb took these martial arts cheats as gifts, hoping that the person who got the cheats would give a promise....... So what's next, what kind of promise does Mr. Liu Bowen want?"

"It's strange here, my father searched the entire tomb at the beginning, and he didn't find any other words, and he didn't know what Mr. Liu Bowen wanted!"

"Do you know where that tomb is, if you take me to see it, maybe you can find some clues!"

Xiu'er shook her head, her expression was quite regretful, "I can't find it, after my father left, the feng shui of that place has changed, even with my father's ability, I can't find any traces!"

Hearing Xiu'er say this, for some reason, two words involuntarily appeared in Lin Nuo's mind.

"Formation!"

"This matter was not settled until four years ago, when my father happened to pass by Linjia Village, and after learning your name and birthday, he returned home, regardless of whether I agreed or not, and forcibly arranged this marriage for me!"

"Father said that the original opportunity did not belong to the Xue family, but to you, and the Xue family took advantage of your opportunity, so you must repay it, otherwise, the whole family, I'm afraid there will be a curse!"

This is the first time Xiu'er has talked about the origin of the original marriage, and now to Lin Nuo, it feels like listening to a fantasy story.

"Lin Nuo, you say, if I really didn't marry you at the beginning, would my Xue family really have a curse?"

"This ...... Who can say this kind of mysterious thing!"

Lin Nuo felt a little brain pain, my brother is a martial arts practitioner, you have to ask me this kind of occult question that is beyond the scope of a martial artist, you ask me, who do I ask?

The topic of the two ended here, and Xiu'er once again returned to her previous state of being silent, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Lin Nuo also had no intention of talking again, figuring out what Xiu'er said just now along the way, but the information he knew was still too little, and it was difficult to completely sort out the cause and effect of the matter.

In this slightly dull atmosphere, everyone galloped all the way and finally came to the boundary of the capital.

The capital, the heart of the Ming Empire, even if it has not been seen for more than two years, is still as majestic as ever, businessmen and magnates from all over the empire have entered the city of the lifeblood of the empire in an endless stream, and the wide streets are bustling and lively.

Escorted by brocade guards, Lin Nuo and the others were very smooth along the way, and the soldiers at the gate of the city were full of fear and specially cleared a passage, until Lin Nuo and his party entered the city, and then allowed other people to enter the city.

There was no pause along the way, and under the escort of Fang Yun and the others, he came directly to the Forbidden City.

After reporting his identity, after a while, a round-faced eunuch wearing a big red python robe walked out of the palace and came straight to Lin Nuo.

"Tanhualang is back, and Your Majesty is waiting for you. ”

Lin Nuo nodded and followed behind the round-faced eunuch, observing the surrounding environment as he walked forward.

Compared with the last time he entered the palace, Lin Nuo could clearly sense that the atmosphere in the entire Forbidden City was very dignified at this time, the number of guards had more than doubled compared to before, and there were countless secret sentinels hidden in the shadows, without any dead ends.

Especially the round-faced eunuch in front of Lin Nuo, who is by no means very human, with his inductive power, he can faintly perceive that in this eunuch's body, there is an extremely strong internal force, and the internal force is so deep that it is not even under the current Xiu'er.

The imperial court is worthy of being the strongest force in the world, counting the old eunuch who handed him the Jinyi Wei Qianhu token when he first met Hongzhi, this is already the second top master that Lin Nuo has encountered.

"This father-in-law, I don't know what to call him?" Lin Nuo asked with his fists clenched.

"Our family Chu Fang, Tanhualang doesn't recognize me, but our family is very familiar with you!"

The round-faced eunuch named Chu Fang turned his head and smiled at Lin Nuo, and that smile was full of deep meaning.

"My father-in-law recognized me a long time ago?"

"It's been a long time, when Tanhualang was killing in that Fengxue Mountain Temple, our family noticed you!"

Lin Nuo's heart sank, at the beginning, he wondered why there was no master to protect the prince, it turned out that it was not that there was none, but that he was too weak at the beginning, and he didn't notice the existence of this person at all.

Even Xiu'er at that time had not yet stepped into the realm of the top master, and there was a snowstorm to cover it, and I am afraid that he did not realize that there was such a strong man lurking in an unknown place.

In this way, when his own coachman tried his best to ease the relationship with the prince, was it because he sensed that there was a top strong man lurking in the dark?

"When I was young and frivolous, I made my father-in-law laugh!"

"It's nothing, maybe this is your fate with His Royal Highness the Prince, if it weren't for the original battle, you wouldn't be able to become the prince's teacher!" Chu Fang's father-in-law smiled kindly, and didn't seem to take the original matter to heart.

"Dare to ask my father-in-law, I don't know what to call the old man next to Your Majesty?" Feeling that the Chu Fang in front of him was easier to speak, Lin Nuo continued to ask tentatively.

"He, we all call him the ancestor, he has guarded three generations of emperors, I only know that his surname is Chu, what is the specific name, then I don't know!"

This Chu Fang unexpectedly answered Lin Nuo's question, this kindness is full!

Lin Nuo knew in his heart, it seemed that Emperor Hongzhi was really not good!

In the future, the crown prince will ascend the throne, and with his relationship with the prince, he will definitely become a person who will hold great power in the future, and it is not surprising that this Chu Fang Guild will show kindness to himself!

"Your Majesty, Lin Nuo is here!" followed Chu Fang through the corridor from the outer hall of a palace to a thick veil, Chu Fang whispered.

"Well, give a seat!"

Inside the veil, an extremely weak voice came.

I couldn't see people clearly, but just by the voice, Lin Nuo could tell that this Hongzhi Emperor couldn't last a few days.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the emperor received his courtiers, and there were few seats, and today Lin Nuo can get the seat of Hongzhi, which shows that the other party really attaches great importance to him.

"I know everything you have done in Shanyin County...... Well done!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, share your worries for Your Majesty, this is the duty of a courtier!"

Lin Nuo didn't dare to be careless, and he wouldn't despise him because Hongzhi was about to die, as long as the other party was not dead, he was the emperor, and if he offended the emperor, then his fortune would be difficult!

"Lin Nuo, to be honest with me, when you were asked to serve as the Jinyi Wei Qianhu, did you have any resentment in your heart? Do you think this is an insult from me to you, a first-class jinshi?"

This is a proposition, a bad answer, Lin Nuo today, it will be difficult to get out of the Forbidden City!
