The old darthead was even more surprised, although he didn't hear Zhao Jincheng's words, but his actions had already made the old darthead dare not imagine. What kind of person can make the head of the Liuli Zhao family kneel on one knee, it's unimaginable.

"What is the head of the family doing, Lin Ji can't afford it. Lin Ji heard Zhao Jincheng's footsteps, but he deliberately didn't look back, and waited until Zhao Jincheng knelt down, his knees had just touched the ground, and then he stretched out his hand and stroked the void.

Zhao Jincheng's body stood up involuntarily under Lin Ji's caresse.

"Without the help of the prince back then, there would be no Zhao Jincheng now, and Jincheng is unforgettable. Zhao Jincheng's words can be regarded as sincere, and Lin Ji is indeed sneering.

"What kind of son, Wuhou has long been gone, then there is no son. Lin Ji motioned for him to sit down.

Zhao Jincheng walked to a place not far from Lin Ji and sat down, looking a little cramped.

The dishes on the table are all Baiyanlou's specialties, because he was afraid that it would be cold after arriving at the Longtu Dart Bureau, so Zhao Jincheng specially ordered someone to add charcoal under each dish, so even now those dishes that have walked a long way to get here are still steaming.

"Shizi, this is a special dish made by the best chef in Liuli City, since Shizi has come to Liuli City, he should taste the characteristics of this Liuli City. ”

Lin Ji glanced at this table full of talents, and only then did he realize that he was born in the Hou Mansion and was also considered a family, and few of the dishes on this table were seen by himself, obviously this Zhao Jincheng put a lot of effort into the dishes.

"Thank you for your hospitality. Lin Ji gave it up, and he was not ambiguous, in Zhao Jincheng's introduction, he tasted almost all the dishes, and then praised it.

After a period of polite greetings, the two returned to silence, just taking care of their own food, no longer speaking, and waiting for the other party to speak first.

Yi Hanlan came to her senses at some point, looked at the deliciousness of this table, was stunned for a moment, felt the slightly embarrassing atmosphere on the table, and stood up and left the table.

"I don't know why the prince came to Liuli City this time?" After all, Zhao Jincheng couldn't sit still. After pouring a glass of wine for Lin Ji, he asked hesitantly.

The wine is fragrant, this is a taste that Lin Ji has never smelled, although it is not a famous wine, but it has obviously been stored for a long time, which is enough to show Zhao Jincheng's sincerity.

"Good wine, thanks to the head of the house, I can drink such a fine wine. ”

"This is the wine that my mother buried under the locust tree in the yard when I was born, and said that I would dig it up by myself when I grew up and married my wife, but ...... She didn't wait for that day. Perhaps recalling some sad past, Zhao Jincheng's tone turned down.

"Don't talk about the past. Lin Ji patted Zhao Jincheng on the shoulder, lifted the wine in the cup to the sky, and then sprinkled it to the earth.

"I came this time, but I wanted to ask the head of the house for help. Lin Ji said.

"Knowing what my Zhao family is capable of, Jincheng will not hesitate. Although Zhao Jincheng did not hesitate when he spoke, he was a little lacking in confidence, because he had a hunch that this would be an extremely extraordinary thing.

"What is the strength of the Zhao family in Liuli City?"

"The Zhao family has been operating in Liuli City for hundreds of years, and it is naturally as stable as a rock. ”

"That's good. Lin Ji took a deep breath and continued, "I hope that Liuli City can declare independence. ”

Zhao Jincheng did not show any special surprise after hearing Lin Ji's words, but was very calm, which was beyond Lin Ji's expectations, how could he know that Zhao Jincheng's heart was already about to fall into the sea at this time.

"Independence is tantamount to rebellion, and this is to be infamous on your back. Zhao Jincheng said in a low voice, and then fell silent.

As one of the three major families of the empire, if the Zhao family defects from the Han Dynasty, it will obviously be infamous for thousands of years.

"No, it won't. Lin Ji shook his head slightly, "As long as you promise me to do this, then I will make you famous." Lin Ji said confidently.

"Why do you need Liuli City?" Zhao Jincheng asked Lin Ji with some puzzlement.

"Liuli City is a springboard that can threaten Zhongjing, if Canghai City can be connected with Liuli City, then it is equivalent to being able to enter the mansion of the Han Dynasty at any time to impact Zhongjing, and the most important thing is that Dugu Gorge will no longer be a natural pass to block Canghai City. ”

Lin Ji poured himself a small glass of wine and continued: "And at that time, half of the big man will be in our hands, you know, I don't really have much interest in power, all I want is the peace of Canghai City." Lin Ji understood what he said, and then silently waited for Zhao Jincheng's reply.

He knew that Zhao Jincheng was an extremely ambitious person, he would not be willing to just be the head of a declining family, he would definitely have greater ambitions, and Lin Ji also happened to value his ambition, so he chose to help him back then.

"I don't know anything. Zhao Jincheng seemed to have thought of something, and immediately asked Lin Ji.

"Excuse me. ”

"Since the prince is not in the world, then why do you want to leave Duguxia. ”

"Dugu Gorge is just a barrier between the Great Han and Canghai City, and the enemies of Canghai City are not only the Great Han, but also the Great Mang, and the ghost people, so hiding in Dugu Gorge will inevitably be short-lived. Lin Ji carefully analyzed the general trend of the world, but Zhao Jincheng also listened to it with relish.

"If Liulicheng declares independence, the defensive strength of Liulicheng will not be easily broken, so the Han Emperor can only draw troops from Duguxia to aid Liulicheng, just to prepare for the Lin family's army to leave Canghai City. And this is the opportunity to start another beginning. Lin Ji was very sincere, he told Zhao Jincheng all his intentions, so he was very sincere.

Lin Ji didn't coerce, didn't ask for it, just discussed this matter with Zhao Jincheng. This made Zhao Jincheng feel very comfortable.

The two men drank a great deal of wine, and it was not until the old wine was drunk that they stopped.

The sky had gradually darkened.

After Zhao Jincheng drank the last bit of wine in the cup, he licked his lips with some unfinished feelings, and then glanced at the sun setting in the west.

"Shizi, I have watched the sunset countless times in this glazed city, and each time it is the same, I want to see if the sunset there is the same as the sunset here, or if it is very different. Zhao Jincheng seemed to have made some major decision, and glanced at Lin Ji, who was already a little drunk, and said.

"The Zhao family will go to another peak in your hands, no longer one of the three major families, but unique in this world. ”

After Lin Ji finished talking about things with Zhao Jincheng, he did not leave Liuli City immediately, but walked around the city with Yi Hanlan for a few days, until someone had a relationship with Lin Ji, and after recognizing Lin Ji in the crowd, the news of Lin Ji's appearance in Liuli City spread instantly like a spark.

The man who is known as the man with three heads and six arms in the legend is so handsome, and it subverts the world view of all Liuli people for a while, how can there be such a handsome man in this world.

The news spread in the market, but it was only half a day that it had spread in Liuli City, and even more so the city saw the head of the Zhao family meeting with Lin Ji in Baiyan Building, and all kinds of rumors were noisy for a while.

At this time, Lin Ji and Yi Hanlan, who were shuttling between the markets and admiring the beautiful scenery of the late spring of Liuli City, followed a figure in the distance, and after confirming that it was Lin Ji, the figure hurriedly left the hidden position, and then disappeared without a trace.

Lin Ji put his arm around Yi Hanlan's shoulder, took it down curtly, glanced at Yi Hanlan, whose face was flushed, and scratched his head embarrassedly.

Lin Ji glanced back at the place where the person who followed him just now was accommodating, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

In the evening, a carrier pigeon flew out of the roof of a house somewhere in Liuli City, and then disappeared into the distance.
