Three days after the death of the first emperor of the Zhuo Kingdom, the Ling Kingdom, the Yao Kingdom and the Dark Kingdom all sent representatives to come to the Burning Kingdom to offer condolences.

Taishi Lin Muyang took on the responsibility of reception, because this was a national funeral, and the other three countries came to mourn were all heavyweights.

Yaoguo sent Prime Minister Xiao Zimo, because the Dark Kingdom had an unspeakable entanglement with Zhuoguo, so he only sent an inconspicuous official, but the Prince personally drove it, which can be said to be the highest standard.

Therefore, Lin Muyang was very busy, not only to greet the envoys of the three countries, but also to deal with the domestic reaction.

This morning, the chief housekeeper suddenly rushed into Lin Muyang's study in a hurry, and said urgently: "My lord, this is news from a business under the Lin family's industry in Yaoguo, according to the person in charge of the business, this is a woman holding the jade pendant of the head of the Lin family, claiming that she must hand over this letter to the adult!" ”

The jade pendant of the head of the Lin family?

Lin Muyang's original tired face was swept away in an instant after hearing these words, and he said eagerly: "Bring it quickly!" ”

Who else can have Lin Muyang's jade pendant?!

The chief housekeeper quickly handed over the thick letter in his hand with both hands, and Lin Muyang didn't care about the presence of the chief housekeeper, so he opened the envelope on the spot.

Lin Muyang looked at it fixedly, and almost laughed out loud on the spot, only to see three big crooked Chinese characters written on the letterhead: Lin Muyang!

It's okay, at least it's not written wrong!

"Lin Muyang, when you kid received this letter, it means that my aunt and grandmother already know why you returned to China in a hurry that day. But it doesn't matter, I won't be angry, because I know that although you kid is unreliable most of the time, you are still more reliable in big things! The Emperor of Zhuoguo drove the crane to the west, you must be busy as a prince, right? You must pay attention to rest, otherwise I will be tired and I will not pay the bill! Also, you must be careful, but whenever there is a change of dynasties, there will be a purge, you have to be careful not to be cleaned! Xiang Zi pity. ”

Pinching this thick letter that actually didn't have a few words, looking at the letter that couldn't be in the vernacular, and there was no literary brilliance at all, Lin Muyang suddenly felt a warm heart.

Xiang Zixi didn't know where he heard the news of the death of Emperor Zhuoguo, so he probably wrote this letter to himself as soon as possible, right? At the level that she can't write a basket of big characters, it is really difficult for her to write so many words in one breath.

What's even more valuable is that she wrote this letter to remind herself to pay attention to safety, which is enough to make herself smile.

Is she worried about herself?

Lin Muyang re-read it again, as if he could clearly see Xiang Zixi's clumsy appearance of flipping the book with one hand and copying Chinese characters with the other, as if she could see her pretending to be a ghost in her own business, showing off the jade pendant she gave her, and arrogantly ordering the person in charge of the business to deliver the letter in time.

Seeing the smile on his master's face that he hadn't seen for a long time in the past few days, the big housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It seems that the only woman in this world who can make the owner of his house smile easily.

The more Lin Muyang thought about it, the bigger the smile on the corner of his mouth became, and he stuffed the letter in his hand back into the envelope and put it on the table with great importance. I was about to pick up the pen to write a reply, but I didn't know what to write, but after hesitating for a long time, I slowly put down the pen in my hand and shook my head helplessly.

"My lord, what do you think should be done next?" The chief butler asked in a low voice, "But is it still going according to the established plan?" ”

Lin Muyang said in a deep voice: "Everything is going according to plan!" Also, keep an eye on her, I won't allow anything like that to happen again! ”

Lin Muyang was referring to the incident in Songlin Town, which almost put Xiang Zixi in danger.

"Yes!" The chief housekeeper hurriedly replied: "This time, additional manpower has been dispatched, if you find that someone wants to be unfavorable to Miss Xiang, you will definitely not be soft!" ”

Lin Muyang couldn't help laughing anymore when he thought of his subordinates' report to Zi Xi pretending to be a ghost and sneaking into the Qinglou, and the group of people who were playing around. In the whole world, she is probably the only one who will be so naughty, right?

I don't know if it's because of Xiang Zixi's letter, Lin Muyang suddenly felt a lot lighter all over his body, and felt that the burden on his body was not so heavy.

"Let's go!" Lin Muyang stood up and left his study with the big butler.

On the desk, the letter lay quietly on the table, the thick envelope is a heavy heart, whether the other party accepts her or not, it at least represents her concern.

As soon as he came to the palace, someone immediately came over to invite Lin Muyang: "His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is invited!" ”

Because the crown prince has not yet officially ascended the throne, everyone still uses the old name.

Lin Muyang nodded lightly and said lightly: "I know!" Have you been entertained with guests from all over the world? ”

"If you go back to the Taishi, everything will be according to the Taishi's orders!" The man replied respectfully: "It's just that the prince of the country has been clamoring to see the Taishi, and his subordinates don't know how to answer, so please show the Taishi!" ”

"Let's just say I'm busy and don't have time!" Lin Muyang said lightly.

At this moment, a joking voice came from the corner: "I know that His Royal Highness is a busy man, so I made a special trip to find you!" ”

Lin Muyang looked back and saw the prince of the country walking towards him with a smile, with four beautiful women behind him, all covered with white gauze and wearing plain white long skirts. When I looked closely, it turned out to be a quadruplet beauty.

"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince command?" Lin Muyang smiled lightly: "But there is a place where the hospitality is not good?" ”

The prince of the kingdom of Lingguo walked up to him with a laugh and said to the others: "You all step back first, I have something to say to His Royal Highness the Grand Master." ”

Lin Muyang nodded slightly, everyone quietly retreated, and immediately said, "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince command?" ”

The prince of the kingdom grinned, stepped forward and grabbed Lin Muyang, who was about the same height as himself, and said in a low voice: "Don't pretend!" Do you think I don't know that the old emperor wants to pass on the throne to you? ”

Lin Muyang's eyes flashed with a gleam, but then it was fleeting, and he said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he was smiling!" I, Lin Muyang, am just a mere master, how could the emperor give me the throne? ”

The prince of Lingguo snorted: "Ah, maybe I heard it wrong?" Ahahahaha! Your Highness, don't be angry! I think it's better for you to be the emperor than the crown prince to be the emperor! In this way, you and I will look at each other ———— north and south."

When the prince of Lingguo said this, he suddenly snorted again, and refused to say any more.

Lin Muyang immediately understood what the prince of the kingdom meant, the ambition of the prince of the kingdom is not small, I don't know if he covets the dark country or the yao country?

Lin Muyang dodged the hand of the prince of the kingdom without a trace, and said softly: "Your Royal Highness the prince, what you said I am getting more and more confused!" I won't talk to you anymore, there are so many things to deal with! When one day is really free, I will find you to have a good get-together! ”

Lin Muyang nodded slightly at the prince of the kingdom and turned to leave.

The prince of Lingguo looked at Lin Muyang's back, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he picked a blooming flower from the wall and put it under his nose to smell it gently.

"Lin Muyang, you are really hidden!" The prince of the kingdom smelled the flowers in his hand again, turned around and left the place.

When he came to the prince's palace, the prince immediately said anxiously when he saw Lin Muyang: "When will I ascend the throne?" ”

Lin Muyang smiled faintly: "Don't be impatient, the prince must not be impatient, some things are in a hurry!" ”

"How can I not be in a hurry? Now that it has been three days since my father's death, and the whole country has no leader, haven't you seen that the three northern countries are eyeing us? The crown prince said impatiently: "Since you have decided to put me on the throne, why have you delayed letting me ascend the throne?" ”

"I said it was now! Don't be impatient! Lin Muyang still replied lightly: "I have my own arrangements!" ”

"Lin Muyang, you ————" the prince blurted out: "You don't plan to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, right?" ”

Lin Muyang looked at the prince mockingly, and replied calmly: "What do you say? ”

The prince was discouraged and sat down on the chair. Lin Muyang picked up the teacup on the table, let go, smashed the teacup on the ground, and said lightly: "If the prince acts rashly before getting my hint, then there is only one ending!" The prince won't know that many people in the court still criticize the prince, right? Acting rashly will only make you more passive! If the prince can trust me Lin Muyang, then he will not move! ”

After Lin Muyang finished saying this, he saluted slightly towards the prince: "Weichen retires!" ”

Seeing Lin Muyang leave, the prince looked at the smashed teacup on the ground again, watched the dark brown tea seep into the ground, and grabbed the back of the chair with both hands. After a long time, the prince suddenly let go of his hands, gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Muyang, I will definitely make you regret it!" ”

Lin Muyang left the prince's palace, and the smile on the corner of his mouth slowly floated. Prince, you want to fight with me, you're still a little tender!

The old emperor's funeral was carried out step by step, and the crown prince also quieted down and never mentioned his accession to the throne again.

It seems that the prince of Lingguo has never found anyone again, and most of them are in seclusion except for the necessary etiquette appearances.

Not to mention the Dark Country, as long as you can avoid meeting Lin Muyang, try to avoid meeting him. The grievances between the Dark Kingdom and the Burning Kingdom cannot be explained clearly in a few words. In particular, people who are well versed in that inglorious history are even more secretive about this topic.

So, everything was going on calmly, and everything was running according to Lin Muyang's established route.

In Zhuoguo, the most trustworthy person is probably not the current crown prince, the future emperor, or even the old emperor who has passed away, but the prince Lin Muyang!

Who doesn't know that the rights in Lin Muyang's hands are far more than the rights that a master should have?
