Chapter 377: Promise

"The imperial capital has returned to normal, it is more prosperous than usual, and the various forces in the city have basically made no big moves, the only thing that has attracted attention is that the movement between the Wang family, the Taishi Mansion and His Royal Highness Lin Xuan, the eldest prince, has been slightly frequent recently. ”

"Slightly frequent?"

Lin Hong asked with interest, "Have you found out the reason?"

The voice outside the door replied respectfully: "The three families are not easy to contact, although there are our people inside, the real reason has not yet been ascertained, but what can be determined is related to a child of the Wang family who returned a few years ago." ”

"It's that little girl named Wang Caijuan, right?"

Lin Hong said with a smile: "Two years ago, Wang Zizhan brought me to see me, and I look very beautiful, but it doesn't look special, it's just that, you should pay more attention to the Wang family, as for the people around the eldest prince Lin Xuan, don't contact for the time being, so as not to be exposed, the battle between the princes is imminent, and Qin Tianjian can't participate in it, this is the ancestral training." ”

"Yes!"

After pausing for a while, Lin Hong asked again, "What about the Yanyang Palace, did the Yanhuang mention when he would leave the customs?"

"There is no movement in the Yanyang Palace, but Ghost Yang has spread the word that the Yanhuang will be out of the customs when the Dragon Conference is held, and now the people outside the Yanyang Palace are all people from the original ghost gate, and they don't know ......."

"Ghost Yang doesn't have that guts, don't think nonsense!"

Lin Hong interrupted the voice outside the door, and then ordered: "If there is nothing else, you can retreat first, by the way, now the time for the Tenglong Conference is getting closer and closer, and there are countless martial artists of all shapes and sizes in the imperial capital, scatter the eagle guards, no matter what, the emperor can't mess up." ”

As he spoke, a jade slip suddenly flew out of Lin Hong's hand to the door, only to hear Lin Hong say lightly: "Find the person in this jade slip, give me the news as soon as you find it, don't act rashly!"

"Yes, but there's one more thing that might need to be prepared. ”

The voice outside the door hesitated for a moment and then spoke: "In the past few days, the Tianding outside the Tianji Hall seems to be a little unusual, and the guards nearby can always hear a low cry coming from nowhere. ”

"Crying?" Hearing this, Lin Hong was stunned for a moment, and then asked a little strangely.

"No, it seems to be metal?"

“......”

"Alright, I know, let's go down!"

Lin Hong said angrily, but he had already made a decision in his heart.

After a while, after making sure that the person outside the door had left, Lin Hong suddenly stood up, walked to the bookcase behind him, and gently picked up a book, only to see that in a corner of the public house, a floor tile disappeared silently, revealing a pitch-black hole, and there was even a layer of brick and stone stairs below the hole, which extended along the hole to the end.

Lin Hong walked into the cave with a solemn face, and after Lin Hong completely entered the cave, a floor tile was quietly covered on the hole, and there was no trace of it from the outside.

The stairs were very long, and there was no light in the passage, but Lin Hong was not worried about any accidents at all, and walked along, and finally reached the end of the stairs at a certain moment.

It was a circular stone room, empty without any tables and chairs, the only decoration was probably the five oil lamps placed at intervals on the stone wall, and in the stone room, a black-robed figure was facing away from the stairs, not knowing what he was doing.

"You're here. ”

It seemed that he had known about Lin Hong's arrival for a long time, and before Lin Hong arrived at the stone room, a calm voice came out of the mouth of the black-robed figure.

"Meet the Ancestor!"

Lin Hong respectfully knelt down behind the black-robed figure, without a trace of hesitation, the solemn color on his face was gone, and all that was left was endless awe.

The black-robed figure didn't turn his head, still facing the stone wall, and asked calmly, "The person I asked you to find was found?"

"Not yet. ”

Lin Hong said respectfully: "However, there is another incident ordered by the ancestor, there has been an abnormal movement in the Tianding outside the Tianji Hall in the past few days, I am afraid that it has something to do with the Yanhuang who is retreating in the Yanyang Palace." ”

"Tianding ......"

Hearing this, the black-robed figure was silent for a moment, and then sighed and said slowly: "Lin Yu, this kid is indeed the person closest to Lin Yan in terms of talent and temperament for thousands of years, let him refine the Divine Soul Jade, although it is his own decision, but it is also a helpless move, I hope things will not go to the worst!"

"And what if we do get to that point?"

"What do you want to ask?"

Lin Hong cautiously probed, "I mean, if things really come to that point, will the Ancestor really make a move?"

"Are you worried about Lin Yu?"

The black-robed figure sneered: "Don't forget, Lin Yu is the Yan Emperor first, and then your younger brother, as for whether to make a move, you should know that all of us are on this chessboard, and we have never had any choice!"

"Understood. ”

Lin Hong nodded bitterly, and then got up and prepared to leave.

However, before he could take a few steps, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him again.

"You go and tell Lin Yu, I'll give him a chance, if it really comes to that point, I can help him keep one person, just this one!"

Lin Hong was overjoyed, but he didn't look back, but accelerated away.

In the stone room, the black-robed figure slowly rolled down his hood, revealing a half-black and half-white face, and muttered to himself: "Tianji has been covered, it seems that you feel the crisis, right?"

In the Qin Tian Prison, seeing Luo Ling walking out of the prison office, Lin Brown hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Brother Luo, I've been waiting for you for a long time, what is the matter with the old man looking for Qin Tian Prison?"

Luo Ling smiled and said, "No, no, it's not looking for Qin Tianjian, it's just that there is something for me to hand over to Lin Tianzheng." ”

Hearing this, Lin Brown was also helpless, Luo Ling refused to say, he couldn't go to Lin Hong to ask by himself, so he didn't say anything at the moment, and walked towards the exit of Qin Tianjian with Luo Ling.

However, after not walking a few steps, Luo Ling suddenly asked Lin Brown, "By the way, speaking of which, is there a place to live in Qin Tianjian?"

"Uh, why do you suddenly ask this? You don't live here. ”

Lin Brown was stunned, but in an instant, he reacted, his eyes widened and he said in surprise: "You don't want to live here, do you?"

"Or else?"

Luo Ling pursed his lips and said helplessly: "Look at the body I am wearing now, in this imperial capital, where can I live? Besides, I am half your benefactor, you can't bear to see me living on the streets of Tianluo City, and I will live on the streets again when I go to the imperial capital with you, the supervision envoy?"

“......”

"Forget it, you better live outside, I'll pay for the room. ”

Lin Brown reluctantly took out a Qiankun bag and threw it to Luo Ling and said: "There are 10,000 medium-grade spirit crystals in here, enough for you to stay in the imperial capital for a year, I will personally take you to find an inn, and the room money should be able to save a lot." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. ”

Luo Lingxi took the Qiankun bag with a smile, and then said in confusion: "You, a prefecture-level supervision envoy of Qin Tianjian, went to the inn in person, and actually only waived a lot of room money?

"Can open an inn in this imperial capital, which one of the forces behind it is simple?"

Lin Brown said speechlessly: "In addition, Qin Tianjian is an independent organization, and sometimes he will trouble them, so it is already for Qin Tianjian's face to be exempted from some of the house money." ”

After speaking, he didn't care whether Luo Ling wanted it or not, and immediately took Luo Ling and left Qin Tianjian.

At the same time, at the border of the Heavenly Death Mountain Range, a group of garrison warriors were chatting boredly.

Although it is said that in order to prevent someone from coming over in the Northern Regions, the major sect forces have sent a lot of high-level martial artists to garrison, but in fact, most of the high-level martial artists just went back after a circle, and what really stayed here were only some unsatisfactory people who were fighting in the sect, and they were distributed here without competing for resources, although there were fewer cultivation resources, but they were not as much pressure in the sect, and it was easier to obtain contribution points, which could be regarded as another way out.

"Alas, this day, when is it the head!"

"Isn't it? The birds don't here, and they won't change for a few years, and I really miss my days in the city!"

"You miss the girl in Cuihualou, right?"

"Hahaha!"

A group of garrison warriors chatted sentence by sentence, and the people who came here may not be willing at first, but after staying for two or three years, most of them have become like this, and not everyone can endure this endless boring day.

Of course, the major sect forces did not expect these people to be able to stop the invaders or spies in the Northern Regions, and the task given to them was only to report the situation in time, and the existence here was more to stimulate the self-motivation of the disciples in the sect.

Long San is an ordinary spiritual vein realm martial artist, and it is precisely because of the ordinary, so he was sent here by the sect to be a garrison warrior, and it was three years in a blink of an eye, and now he is also fighting with a group of garrison warriors, anyway, no one here is to take care of them, and secondly, the so-called spies in the northern region say that they may not see each other once in ten years, so basically every day is like a walking corpse.

On this day, Long San was still chatting with his companions as usual, but he didn't expect that there would be footsteps in the Tianwu Mountain Range, which had been silent for decades.

Although the cultivation has been abandoned, the most basic perception ability of a Spirit Vein Realm martial artist is still there, and there is obviously more than one person coming from the footsteps, and in Long San's perception, the other party seems to have no signs of restraint at all, which can be said to be above board.

There were not many martial artists like Long San on this boundary line, and they could naturally feel what Long San could feel, and soon, everyone gathered to the place closest to the sound, staring nervously at the Heavenly Death Mountain Range in front of them.
