Chapter 187: Each family takes a stand
"The old man didn't expect the third prince to come here, welcome!" Seeing the young and handsome man in green shirts appearing here, Lin Geng was also surprised by the fact that he stepped forward politely.
"The head of the Lin family is polite. The third prince smiled kindly and politely, with an approachable appearance, without half a bit of pride, completely different from the attitude he had when he first met Lin Haoxue, after greeting Lin Geng, his eyes slowly swept over Lin Haoxue who was standing behind Lin Geng, and his tone was light, "Who is this?"
"This is the disciple that Inuko used to accept. Lin Geng smiled and repeated the sentence that had been explained many times.
"Oh-" The third prince nodded slowly, and after a while, he asked again, "I heard that the head of the Lin family has two granddaughters, both of whom are of outstanding character and have amazing potential, I wonder if I can meet them?"
Hearing this, Lin Haoxue suddenly raised her lowered head, looked at the third prince opposite, and sighed in her heart, this third prince, what does the other party know. Hearing this, Lin Geng was also slightly stunned, his eyes drifted obliquely over Lin Haoxue, and then he said, "Some time ago, they went out to practice hand in hand, and they haven't returned yet." I'm afraid that I won't be able to come to meet the three princes for the time being, but I will disappoint the three princes. ”
Lin Haoxue and Lin Geng's slight gaffe naturally did not hide from the eyes of the third prince, however, the third prince Wu Yihan was a little surprised by the attitude of this young man named Xue Hao, but soon, the third prince showed a clear smile, the women of the Lin family are said to be stunning, this Xue Hao, who has lived in the Lin family for a long time, may have admired a certain young lady.
"Oh, that's also the blessing I don't have. The third prince smiled, as if he was really disappointed, and he didn't notice Lin Haoxue's expression, and entered the hall with Lin Geng.
After the three princes appeared, there seemed to be no one behind them, and many of the guests in the hall were ordinary families who were taken care of by the Lin family in the past, but there were a lot of people, and they were all noisy, but now as soon as the three princes appeared, they suddenly became quiet, and they were silent, and even a needle could be heard clearly when it fell on the ground.
As a member of the royal family, the third prince naturally has to sit in the first place, so the Xiao family of the Yan family and the Chen family can only come to accompany them, and others can just return it, but Chen Shao's face is getting more and more ugly, but there is no way to do this, who makes himself just a subordinate, not an immediate family member of the head of the family?
Looking at Lin Geng greeting the guests with a smile, seeing that the kid named Xue Hao has been accompanying Lin Geng, the banquet has begun, Chen Shao doesn't mention how angry he is, he can't wait to act immediately, but he is a little hesitant, there are too many people coming now, how can he fulfill the instructions of the head of the family? Especially the kid named Xue Hao, it is too weird, too treacherous, he still can't figure it out, so many of his people have actually fallen into his hands, I really don't know how he did it.
After the banquet began, Lin Haoxue sat silently beside Lin Geng, and everyone could see that the Lin family attached great importance to this guy named Xue Hao.
Suddenly, Lin Haoxue, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly raised her head, glanced at Chen Shao shallowly, and then lowered her head again, this glance made Chen Shao feel stunned in his heart, as if he could see his thoughts clearly, and couldn't help but secretly say, this guy is really evil, Chen Shao shook his head slightly at a black-shirted man sitting on his right hand, signaling not to act rashly.
Chen Shao's secret movements, no one seemed to be able to see them at the banquet, but Lin Haoxue saw it, and a sneer rose at the corner of her lips, Today, I am not afraid of your actions, but I am afraid that you will not move.
"Master of the Lin family," after three rounds of wine, the banquet was in full swing, Xiao Qing suddenly stood up with a smile and toasted Lin Geng, or with a junior salute, and said with a very respectful attitude, "Thirteen years ago, when the Lin family left the imperial capital, my father once asserted that one day, the Lin family will come back again, at that time, the Lin family will definitely be different from what it used to be, and now it seems that what my father said has really come true, and the younger generation will welcome the return of the Lin family on behalf of the Xiao family, and I hope that in the future, when encountering difficulties, the Xiao family and the Lin family can advance and retreat together." ”
With that, Xiao Qing drank all the wine in his hand.
There was silence in the banquet, people looked at Xiao Qing with some surprise, and then looked at Lin Geng, the head of the Lin family, and then, they all drank the wine in their hands silently, and everyone saw the attitude of the Xiao family towards the Lin family from Xiao Qing's attitude, which means that the Xiao family is willing to make friends with the Lin family, in the future, if the Lin family encounters any problems, the Xiao family will not stand idly by, when did the Lin family get on the line with the Xiao family, who has always been mysterious? It seems that this Lin family is really prepared.
Some families who originally wanted to see the Lin family's jokes, at this time, also lowered their heads and died down, dispelling their original thoughts.
Lin Haoxue was not surprised by Xiao Qing's words, since he knew that the Xiao family was related to Xiao Zhenren, it was reasonable for the Xiao family to show favor to the Lin family, but Lin Geng's hand holding the cup paused slightly, but he immediately raised it again, and said to Xiao Qing with a smile, "Xiao Gongzi is polite, please thank the Xiao family master for his kindness on my behalf, but Lin Geng is disrespectful." ”
It is indeed disrespectful, since someone has expressed kindness to himself, why not accept it, not to mention, the Lin family will inevitably encounter a lot of problems when they come to the imperial capital again, and the Xiao family's overture is indeed a big help.
"The kindness of the Lin family master, the younger generation will definitely tell the father!" Xiao Qing smiled, his eyes fell on Lin Haoxue on Lin Geng's side, and he didn't say anything, but sat down, this time he came here to help the Lin family, and seeing that those people who seemed to be calm but were about to move were quiet, his purpose was achieved.
"What Xiao Gongzi said is reasonable, and the head of the Xiao family is really discerning," just when Xiao Qing's words quieted everyone present, the voice in the hall was extremely obvious, and everyone followed the sound and saw that their jaws dropped to the ground, because this person was none other than the person who was sitting in the highest position in the hall, the third prince of the Wuhuan Empire - Wu Yihan.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Wu Yihan didn't care at all, obviously very accustomed to such a scene, his attitude was still a little arrogant, this kind of arrogance was not intentional, but brought out from the bones, he laughed, and the voice spread throughout the hall again, "The Lin family has always been chivalrous and courageous, arrogant, not to mention anything else, when I was in the imperial capital, I treated the gap between the rich and the poor equally, and rescued a lot of people, the return of the Lin family is the luck of my Wuhuan Empire, and the palace is also here, welcome the return of the Lin family." ”
While speaking, Wu Yihan stood up lazily and raised his glass to Lin Gengyao, "In addition, I have been rescued by the people of the Lin family, so if the Lin family has any needs, please don't be polite to this palace, but if there is a need, I will not push it back." ”
But if there is a need, it will not be pushed back, which is a very heavy commitment.
As soon as Wu Yihan stood up, a large number of people suddenly stood up in the entire hall, and they all toasted Lin Geng to express their kindness.
If He Lingyun is the benchmark of cultivation among the younger generation of the Wuhuan Empire, then Wu Yihan is the benchmark of the identity of the younger generation of the Wuhuan Empire. It is true that there are many strong people who want to break through the Xuan Immortal and enter another realm through cultivation, but for most of the strong people, the prosperity and noble status of Hongchen are also a great temptation.
The third prince, is the eldest son of He Guifei, he has been talented and intelligent since he was a child, and his potential is amazing, at the age of five, his strength has surpassed that of His Royal Highness the Prince, who is seven years older than him, and is loved by the Emperor Wu, at the age of eight, no one among the princes can fight against him, it is said that the power of his mind is amazing, and he is still a spell master, so, in this world where the strong are respected, he is far more supported than the current His Royal Highness the Prince, and people believe that it is a matter of time before the crown prince of the Wuhuan Empire is transposed.
Now although he has a main palace and never mentions the royal family, everyone knows that his attitude actually represents the attitude of the royal family of the Wuhuan Empire.
Seeing the statement of the third prince, Lin Geng was also stunned, he didn't know when the Lin family had rescued the unrivaled third prince, but now was not the time to think about this, Lin Geng immediately stood up, held a wine glass and saluted back, "Thank you three princes, the old man is grateful!"
The head of the Lin family was polite, but his smile was wide, obviously he was in a good mood, at this time, everyone began to toast Lin Geng one by one, and the whole hall was suddenly happy.
"Hmph!" When everyone was scrambling to congratulate, Chen Shao snorted lowly, and a sneering smile rose at the corner of his lips, but his hand rose with the public toast, and his heart was constantly changing his thoughts:
What kind of chivalrous courage, what arrogance, what kind of luck, what a big faction! I want to see how your Lin family is going to make a comeback today? If the Lin family makes a comeback so easily, then wouldn't my Chen family's painstaking management of this year be completely in vain? How can this be allowed?
Chen Shao, although he is not the head of the Chen family, he can only be regarded as a subordinate, but even so, his identity in the Chen family is extraordinary, more than ten years ago, Lin Geng's strength plummeted, the Lin family was forced to leave Beijing, the Chen family was able to take advantage of the situation to rise, Chen Shao can be regarded as an indispensable contribution. At that time, he was only a Xuanzong, and later, with the help of the Chen family's resources, he had the Xuansheng realm like today.
If the Chen family is beaten back to its original form, then everything he has now will be gone, so the Lin family must not make a comeback, but if you want to stop the Lin family, there is no other way, unless the head of the Lin family dies, thinking so in his heart, Chen Shao's palm turned over, and in the palm of his hand, there was a compass-shaped red object, raising his eyes to look at Lin Geng, who was not far away, and the smile on the corner of his lips deepened.
