Chapter 314 Identity
Qin Lin said: "Did you just come out to mingle? This world, especially the darkness between the clans, you don't have any points in your heart?"
"This, this, may be that I have been in Anjing City for a long time, and I am used to it. Lin Chuyu was a little embarrassed.
Indeed, she should have known the unbearable nature of this world for a long time, but for a while, she really didn't think so meticulously as Qin Lin thought.
"Alright, let's find out again and see if there is any place to stay. "Qin Lin.
Lin Chuyu shook his head: "How else can I find it, Xiangcheng is an important city on the trade route of Lizhou, but in the end, it is only a border city, and more than 30 inns in the city are all crowded with people, I think we are going to sleep on the street tonight." ”
Qin Lin thought about it, and he was a little helpless.
Then he said: "What about He Lanchip? We came to Lizhou, don't you know?"
"I sent him a secret letter yesterday, and he can't be unaware. ”
"Go find him. With that, Qin Lin went to the courtyard of the He family's mansion.
The size of the He Mansion is not large, only a quarter of the Qin Mansion, and it is located on the western edge of the city, close to the city gate.
is like a cluster section, and it is also clear that the strength of the He family is in Xiangcheng.
Qin Lin came to the gate of the He Mansion, and several disciples guarded the gate.
Lin Chuyu stepped forward and said politely: "Excuse me, is the blue-chip prince He in the mansion?"
"Who are you?"
"We are Changzhou Lin, and we met with He Blue-Chip Son in West Jinzhou, and we happened to pass by Xiangcheng today, and we came to visit He Blue-Chip Son. Lin Chu said.
At this time, it was inconvenient for Qin Lin to disclose his identity in Xiangcheng, after all, the five major families were sharpening their knives against Qin Lin.
When the disciple heard that he was a friend of He Bluechip West Jinzhou, he immediately squeezed into a smile.
"It turned out to be a friend of Childe, okay, please wait a moment, I'll go and inform Childe. "When the disciple finished, he entered the palace.
It didn't take long for He Lanchou to come out of the courtyard in a hurry.
He hadn't made any lifelong friendships in Xijinzhou, and it was worth traveling thousands of miles to visit his friends in Xiangcheng, so as soon as he heard the disciple's report, he immediately guessed that Qin Lin was coming.
"Young Master Lin, Sister Lin, long time no see. He Lanchip pretended to be happy, and also called Qin Lin "Lin Gongzi", acting enough.
Lin Chuyu was also full of smiles.
He Lanchou knew that the entrance of the He Mansion was not a place to speak, so he immediately beckoned Lin Chuyu and Qin Lin into the mansion.
Coming to the courtyard where He Lanchou lived alone, Lin Chuyu's smile quickly disappeared, and turned to a reprimand: "Okay, you He Lanchou, knowing that Qin Lin and I came here today, did you deliberately not come to greet you?"
"Isn't it inconvenient for me. He was a little aggrieved.
Qin Lin waved his hand and said, "That's it, it's not wrong for the blue chip, if he comes to pick us up on purpose, it will inevitably reveal our identity." ”
"How can this be exposed?" Lin Chu was puzzled.
Qin Lin curled the corners of his mouth and looked at He Lanchip: "You can explain." ”
He Lanchip's face was embarrassed, and he said: "Didn't I stay in Xijinzhou a few years ago, and I have no friends in Xiangcheng, so I ran to pick you up for some reason, and it is suspicious to think about it." ”
This is already a tact.
To be accurate, He Lanchou has no friends at all in Xiangcheng, and he knows that there are scouts secretly monitoring all the clans in Xiangcheng, although his status in the He family is not high, but fortunately he is also a relative son, who he has met outside, the scouts must have a record.
Qin Lin said: "You have to arrange a place for me and Lin Chuyu to live tonight, the inns outside are crowded." ”
"It's simple, you live in my courtyard, anyway, you are in the name of friends from West Jinzhou. "He blue chips.
"Can the people in your house fully believe it?" Qin Lin asked.
"There's no reason not to believe it. He Lanchip pretended to be high-profile.
In fact, it was he who deceived everyone in the He Mansion. He claimed that he had a lot of friends in Xijinzhou, and he was even more powerful and had a secret relationship with him, that is, in the He Mansion, He Lanchou had built himself into a well-connected person, so it was normal for one or two friends to visit him in Xiangcheng.
It's just that since he came to visit, it was inevitable to meet the rest of the He family, especially He Lanchip's father, He Xiang, the head of the He family.
He Xiang heard that the people of West Jinzhou came to visit He Lanchip, and he felt a little strange in his heart, it was really too coincidental to catch up, and tomorrow was the day of the auction.
He asked his disciples to summon them in the courtyard, and soon Qin Lin and Lin Chuyu came to the front hall of the He family.
Walking into the front hall, Qin Lin and Lin Chuyu arched their hands to He Xiang, who was sitting on the front hall: "Hello to the head of the He family." ”
He Xiang smiled slightly: "I heard that the two of you are from West Jinzhou, this road is not close." ”
Qin Lin said: "We are from Changzhou, we met with the blue chips in Xijinzhou before, and this time we entered Lizhou, the original intention was to go to the capital of Lizhou, and through Xiangcheng, we came to visit the blue chips...... I don't know, will I beg for mercy?"
"No, of course not. He Xiang squeezed an embarrassed smile.
He Lanchou answered at this time: "Dad, Gongzi Lin and Sister Lin had a lifelong friendship with me when I was in Xijinzhou, and Dad has to treat them well." ”
"That's nature. He Xiang's face was cold, and there was a little doubt in his heart.
At this time, a person walked in from outside the front hall, obviously putting on an arrogant posture to show Qin Lin.
"Listen, blue-chip friends in West Jinzhou are here?"
The people who came in stared at Qin Lin with straight eyes, full of provocation.
Qin Lin felt hostile and looked at He Lanchip.
Just looking at He Lanchip's round face showing an embarrassed expression, his eyebrows tightened a little unconsciously.
But soon, He Lanchou relaxed himself again, smiled and introduced to Qin Lin: "Lin Lin, this is my eldest brother He Lanxiao. ”
"Big brother, this is Lin Lin, this is Lin Chuyu, they are relatives of the Lin family, the Lin family is a state-level family in Changzhou, this time I came to Lizhou to visit the state lord. The smile on He Lanchip's face was very tight, and he could see that he was smiling very reluctantly.
He Lanxiao smiled coldly: "The state-level clan in Changzhou is so big. ”
The tone is unfriendly.
He Xiang, who was sitting in the right seat, knew his son's thoughts too well, and said, "Lan Xiao, don't be rude." ”
He Lanxiao is an arrogant person and the future head of the He family.
It stands to reason that with He Lanxiao's status in the He family, he can completely ignore He Lanchip. But on the contrary, He Lanzi also has strong self-esteem and is not willing to fall behind, so he advertises how many powerful people he has established in Xijinzhou everywhere, and shows that his status is not lower than He Lanxiao.
In this way, He Lanxiao is naturally unhappy.
And he also knew that He Lanchou was ambitious and wanted to compete with him for the position of the head of the He family, so the two brothers were pinching each other on weekdays, and there was no brotherly affection at all.
Today, He Lanxiao learned that He Lanchou's friend in Xijinzhou had come to the mansion, so he immediately rushed to meet Qin Lin and Lin Chuyu for a while to see what kind of powerful person he was.
Now that he sees it, he doesn't think it's a good deal.
"Since the two of you are going to meet our Lord of Lizhou, then I don't know, what is the purpose of the two?" He Lanxiao asked bluntly, as if he was interrogating Qin Lin.
Qin Lin frowned slightly, glanced at He Lanchip, and then looked at He Xiang.
He said: "It seems that we are begging for mercy from the He family, otherwise how could the eldest prince of He use such a tone, since the He family does not welcome me and my sister, then I will leave." ”
Qin Lin shook off his face and was about to leave.
Lin Chuyu also showed an angry expression, and said to He Lanchip coldly: "Blue chip, it's better for us to meet in Xijinzhou in the future, so as not to hurt the feelings between us." ”
After finishing speaking, she followed Qin Lin's footsteps closely.
Seeing this, He Xiang immediately got up and said, "Young Master Lin, Sister Lin is slow. ”
Qin Lin stopped, turned around and handed it over: "The head of the He family doesn't have to send him off, you can rest assured, we have a lot of relationship with the blue chips, and we will never talk about today's events with outsiders." ”
If today's events are spread, the He family can't afford to lose face.
People come all the way to visit, but you treat guests with such an attitude, in this way, the He family will only become a joke in the whole city.
Qin Lin said that he would not go to the outside world, but outside his words, he was undoubtedly reminding He Xiang - your He family's hospitality is simply disgusting.
He Xiang also understood, so he sped a few steps and came to Qin Lin: "Young Master Lin, don't misunderstand, this eldest son of mine has always been straightforward and fast-talking, he has no malicious intentions, and I hope that Young Master Lin will not have to deal with him." ”
"Dad!" He Lanxiao stepped forward: "I'm not straightforward, I just want to ask what is the purpose of Lin Gongzi coming to Lizhou to find the state lord, Lin Gongzi is angry, and if he refuses to answer, he has to play with his face, he really deserves to be the son of a big clan at the state capital level, he is squeamish." ”
"Presumptuous!" He Xiang scolded and glared at He Lanxiao: "What does Gongzi Lin have to do with you if you want to meet the state lord, it is your turn to ask Gongzi Lin what is the purpose?"
He Lanchou also stepped forward at this time: "Big brother, you are too much, Gongzi Lin and Sister Lin are my guests, but you seem to treat them as prisoners and question, this is not our He family's hospitality." ”
"It's not your turn to teach me a lesson. He Lanxiao squinted at He Lanchip.
Then, he said to He Xiang: "Dad, my son has no other meaning, it's just strange that since Lin Gongzi and Sister Lin are from Changzhou, why do they want to visit our lord of Lizhou, it doesn't make sense." ”
"The reason why we visited the Lord of Lizhou is very simple, because the elders of the Lin family and the Lord of the State are originally old friends, and it is natural for our younger generations to visit. Lin Chu responded, staring at He Lanxiao with cold eyes.
He Lanxiao was stunned, he couldn't tell the difference between truth and falsehood.
And He Xiang was even more cautious at this time, and hurriedly asked: "Are your Lin family and the state lord old friends?"
"Do you have any opinions?" Lin Chuyu asked.
He Xiang smiled awkwardly: "Sister Lin is serious. ”
"Alright, Master He, we take our leave. Qin Lin bowed his hand again and stepped out of the hall.
He Xiang stepped forward again to stop: "Lin Gongzi, don't worry, there will be an auction meeting in Xiangcheng tomorrow, and there must be no more vacant rooms in the inns in the market tonight, so please ask Lin Gongzi to deign to live in our He Mansion temporarily." ”
"It's okay, if there is no inn tonight, my sister and I will travel overnight. Qin Lin seemed to be prepared for the worst.
This made He Xiang even more afraid to slack off, and arched his hand: "Please don't postpone Lin Gongzi, just stay in the house." ”
"If you don't ask for mercy, it is naturally best to live in He Mansion, but depending on the meaning of Prince He, it is indeed inconvenient for me and my sister to live here. ”
"Convenient, how can it be inconvenient. He Xiang looked back at He Lanxiao: "Don't apologize to Lin Gongzi soon." ”
"Dad, don't be confused. He Lanxiao was arrogant, stepped forward, and looked at Qin Lin and Lin Chuyu with contempt: "They themselves are old friends of the state lord, but why did I never know that the state lord and the people of Changzhou could still have a relationship?"
"Who does the state lord have dealings with, is it your turn to worry about it? He Xiang was really angry with his eldest son.
It's just that he is too indulgent on weekdays, so that He Lanxiao has no one in his eyes.
"Big brother, what do you mean? Are you suspicious of my friend?" He Lanchou originally stood aside and didn't say anything.
On the one hand, he believed that Qin Lin had the strength to play tricks on He Lanxiao, and on the other hand, in the He Mansion, He Lanzhen really didn't have much capital to argue with He Lanxiao.
But at this time, he heard He Lanxiao's suspicion of Qin Lin's tone, so he couldn't help but speak: "Big brother suspects that my friend has other purposes for coming to Lizhou?
"Then how can I know. He Lanxiao smiled darkly, and then said: "No, I don't doubt the purpose of their coming to Lizhou, I am wondering if they are from Changzhou? ”
As he spoke, He Lanxiao looked at He Lanchou with a mocking gaze: "You usually brag a lot, how many powerful people in Xijinzhou do you know, but in fact, how did you live in Xijinzhou in the past few years, do you really think we don't know......?"
"You!" He Lanchip's heart was weak, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Qin Lin raised his eyebrows, smiled faintly, and took over: "I understand, Mr. He thinks that there is a problem with the identity of me and my sister, this is really interesting, and it is the first time that someone doubts the identity of our Lin family, if this is in Changzhou, hehe......"
At this point, Qin Lin showed a unique sly smile of the nobles, and continued: "I am presumptuous, but it is still necessary to remind the eldest prince of He, if this is in Changzhou, if you dare to doubt the identity of me and my sister, then I am afraid that you will die a miserable death, including your entire He family, you will see the strength of our Lin family." ”
"Bastard!" He Lanxiao frowned.
Standing on the territory of the He family and making such disrespectful words to the He family, Qin Lin's arrogance really made He Lanxiao hate in his heart.
He said: "Heh, you don't pretend here, if this is Changzhou, even if it is not Changzhou, if you two brothers and sisters are really the children of a big clan at the state level, you must also have the demeanor of a child of a big clan! ”
He Lanxiao asked the disciples guarding the gate about Qin Lin's situation when he came.
Indeed, since it is a great nobleman, it is reasonable to follow the chariots and horses.
However, Qin Lin continued to smile slyly, and asked with a strange emphasis: "According to the meaning of the eldest prince He, the so-called great clan demeanor must be luxurious carriages and horses, rich clothes, and surrounded by entourage?"
"This is the majesty that a great clan should have. He Lanxiao said.
Lin Chuyu made a mocking tone at this time: "Haha, ignorant person, where is the style of a big clan with your chariot and horse entourage, it is clear that the clan is swollen and fat, the real clan, except for formal occasions, who will be extravagant and wasteful to fiddle with these." ”
Lin Chuyu despised He Lanxiao with the eyes of a "countryman".
He Lanxiao's eyebrows tightened.
To be honest, he didn't know what the real clan was like.
Although he had also seen state-level clans in Lizhou, Lizhou was the most closed and barren state in the Western Continent, and the overall power of Lizhou was not as good as other states, so he didn't know if the state-level clans in Lizhou were considered real clans.
Qin Lin said: "If Prince He thinks that extravagance and wastefulness and excessive gold ornaments are the style of the clan, then Lin admits that Lin really has no clan style. ”
"Okay, since you're like this, then I'll change the way. He Lanxiao tensed his facial nerves, he didn't want to be embarrassed, he didn't want people to think that he was a countryman, so he wanted to find another excuse.
I only heard him say: "Since you are a child of the big clan, then your cultivation is naturally flirtatious, the bloodline of the great clan cultivators is superior, and you look like you are also in your twenties, and your cultivation strength should be able to be up and down the martial artist realm." ”
