The selection of the book killing department may be a grand event in the book keeping family, but for Li Lin, it really has nothing to do with half a dime.

"Because, Luo Lan is also one of the candidates for the head of the ministry. Sun Dichang said the key point of the day and said: "At present, Luo Cangcang, the young head of the department, and Luo Lan, the daughter of the previous head of the department, are also candidates for the head of the department. ”

Li Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became a little solemn.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you the truth, since the disappearance of the previous master, the Killing Book Department has gradually divided into two factions, both of which are intriguing for the selection of the next master. Sun Tu thought for a while, and seemed to be considering his words: "The details are a bit complicated, but the general situation is that Luo Chen's old department intends to appoint Luo Lan as the young master, but Luo Lan's mother is not from her own clan, so she was vetoed by some elders with older qualifications." And Luo Cangcang had this opportunity to be arched by the elders of the other faction as the young master. ”

"Now that Luo Lan has reached adulthood, according to the agreement we made with Hongsang Academy back then, Luo Lan must return to the Killing Book Department to participate in the selection of the head of the department when he becomes an adult. Sun Di's expression suddenly sank, and said: "And Luo Lan and Luo Cangcang, only one of them can be the upper master, and the other is a loser...... It is to perish. ”

Li Lin closed his eyes and was silent for a long time before he said, "In other words, if Luo Lan didn't become the head of the department, he would die, right?"

"That's right, this principle is the same as the battle for the throne of the imperial family, the winner goes to the top, and the loser will not have a chance to turn the tables...... Luo Cangcang will not show mercy to Luo Lan's subordinates, he will definitely kill her. ”

Li Lin stared at Sun Dichang and frowned: "In this way, you just said that we have the same 'position', which means that you support Luo Lan?"

"That's right. The old man is one of the old departments of the former head of the ministry Luo Chen, and of course I support Luo Lan to inherit her father and sit in the position of the head of the department. Sun Dichang said lightly: "However, the previous head of the ministry has been missing for a long time, and the power of the old ministry back then is not as good as before, to be honest, we are quite disadvantaged." ”

"At present, among the elders of the Book Killing Department, there are twelve Elders of the Desolate Rank who support Luo Lan, and there are two Elders of the Hong Rank plus me. Sun Dichang seemed to sigh: "And there are thirty-nine desolate elders who support Luo Cangcang, and there are four Hong-rank elders. ”

That's a lot.

"What about the Universe Elder and the Celestial Elder?" Li Lin asked.

"There are only three Celestial Elders of the Killing Book Department, and it is impossible for them to express their position on the matter of electing the Ministry Master, because as long as anyone takes a stand, it will have a huge impact on the entire situation. Sun Di's face was sad: "Not to mention the Yu Elder Clan, the total number of Yu Elders of the entire Book Keeping Clan is only eight, that is, the eight students under Mr. Lu Wen back then...... The ancestors of our ministries. ”

"The old ancestor usually sees the head and the tail of the dragon, and it is impossible for him to show up for such a thing as selecting the head of the department. Sun Tu said.

Li Lin thought for a moment and said, "If you tell me so much, you don't want me to support Luo Lan, right?"

"Not bad. There is no explicit provision in the selection of the head of the ministry that foreign aid cannot be requested, and the current head of the ministry, Luo Cangcang, is also sending people to woo powerful writers everywhere, and we cannot be left behind in this regard. ”

"Li Lin, you are very young, but you can fight like this with the desolate elder, to a certain extent, you still have potential than our young master Luo Cangcang, the old man believes that Luo Lan has your support, and the chances of winning will be much greater. In the end, Sun finally said his purpose.

In the face of Sun Di's invitation, Li Lin didn't answer immediately, but pointed to Luo Hang on Sun Di's shoulder, and asked, "What about that guy?" He will come to kill me, the real reason should be that Luo Cangcang wants to remove Luo Lan's wings in advance, so it doesn't matter if I am threatening or not, he will kill me first, right?"

"That's right. ”

"So Luo Hang is Luo Cangcang's supporter?"

"That's right. ”

"Then why did you stop me from killing him? If I kill him, won't there be one less desolate elder on Luo Cangcang's side?"

Sun Diyan replied indifferently: "I said that my 'identity' is the Hongwei Elder of the Book Killing Department, and it is impossible for me to watch the Wasted Elder of the Book Killing Department being killed in front of my eyes, even though he is a supporter of the Young Department Master. ”

Li Lin pursed his lips: "Pedantic." ”

"It doesn't hurt if you think so. Sun Dichang didn't care: "But you have to think clearly, if you kill Luo Hang, the whole of the Book Killing Department and even the entire Book Keeper clan will regard you as an enemy, so how can you act as a supporter of Luo Lan and participate in the selection of the head of the department?"

"Are you so sure I'll join?" Li Lin couldn't help but say.

"Yes. Sun Dichang touched his mouth: "Although Luo Lan doesn't want to involve you in this matter, I believe that Luo Lan values you so much, you will definitely not stand idly by." ”

Li Lin was silent for a long time: "Start in half a year?"

"The specific date is the sixth day of September. ”

"Okay, I got it. ”

"Huh. Sun Dichang finally showed a smile: "It seems that you agreed, so take this thing first." ”

Li Lin took a blood-red token thrown by Sun Dizhang, and looked up and down, this blood-red token is nothing special, except for the word "kill" written on the front, and the word "Keqing" is engraved on the back.

"This is the Elder Keqing token of the Book Killing Department, with it, you can justifiably support Luo Lan. Sun Dichang explained: "As for how to go to the Killing Book Department, Hongsang Academy knows. ”

After saying this, Sun Dichang glanced at Lin Chengyang.

Immediately afterwards, this Hongwei elder of the Book Killing Department carried Luo Hang in a coma and disappeared into the sky.

。。。

"Old Yang, shouldn't you tell me what happened to the Red Mulberry Academy and the Killing Book Department back then?" After Li Lin landed on the ship's board, he asked Lin Chengyang first.

Lin Chengyang, as a senior Confucian of Hongsang Academy, must have known some of the secrets of the year.

Lin Chengyang heard the whole conversation just now, and he didn't know what he thought, his expression was a little frightened.

"Fifteen years ago, the dean of Hongsang Academy was not the current dean, Sang Hongyun. Lin Chengyang muttered: "It's a woman named Sang Hongwu." ”

"Sang Hongwu?" Li Lin raised his eyebrows.

Lin Chengyang ignored Li Lin, he seemed to be immersed in some kind of memory, and said to himself: "Sang Hongwu has shown amazing talent since she started writing books, and when she was twenty-two years old, she was already a great Confucian......

"Twenty-two years old, it seems to be okay......" Li Lin thought about his current age and couldn't help but say.

Lin Chengyang: "......"

After a few seconds of coldness, Lin Chengyang continued: "At that time, Sang Hongwu and Chen Shuyuan of Chenghu Academy and Shen Wuhou of Bingdao Academy were listed as the three great heavenly pride, and all the young generations in the five major academies, no matter how hard they tried, they would always be crushed by those three. ”

"At that time, we all thought that Hongsang Academy could move to a new peak through Sang Hongwu, but then that incident happened...... Lin Chengyang sighed: "The book keeper killed Luo Chen, the newly appointed head of the book department, and met Sang Hongwu by chance, and then the two fell in love......

"So this is the process of Luo Lan's parents' acquaintance......" Li Lin said.

"It's just that the bookkeepers, as the oldest force in the world, have an inexplicable arrogance that people can't understand. Lin Chengyang sneered, and said as if he was a little sarcastic: "They are strictly forbidden to marry people outside the book-keeping clan, so the matter of Luo Chen and Sang Hongwu has been delayed." ”

"Later, Luo Chen and Sang Hongwu eloped?" Li Lin groaned, according to the general routine, it should be like this.

"That's right, the two of them eloped. Lin Chengyang did not deny it, and the plot really went farther and farther on the road of blood.

"To this day, there is no news from either of them. Only Luo Lan's daughter was left to be entrusted to the care of the Sang Hong family. Lin Chengyang continued: "Later, Murong Mo would openly recruit Luo Lan as a student, also to hide Luo Lan's true identity. ”

"It's just that the Killing Book Department lost the newly appointed head of the department back then, and its attitude can be imagined, and it has been aggressively asking us to hand ......people over," Lin Chengyang recalled the past fifteen years ago, and sighed: "And why aren't we angry at Hongsang Academy? Sang Hongwu was not only the dean at that time, but also the star of tomorrow that Hongsang Academy pinned its hopes on, and the disappearance of Hongsang Academy was also a very big blow to Hongsang Academy. ”
