Chapter 404: Drifting Away
Lin Liang's relationship with Lin Yan now is very delicate.
It stands to reason that after Lin Dian revealed the relationship between the various forces in the imperial capital to Lin Lianghe, Lin Liang should be regarded as Lin Dark's staff, or a military advisor? Anyway, it is almost a title, and he is always a subordinate.
But because Lin Liang's jade pendant involved Emperor Yan again, judging from the change in the face of the eunuch Wang last time, this Lin Liang's true identity may also be a member of the royal family, so it is a little inappropriate for him to be a subordinate.
So although the two of them haven't made things clear until now, for the relationship between the two, whether it is Lin Liang or Lin Dark, they all have the same positioning, cooperation!
The figure of the housekeeper Lao Lin suddenly came from a distance, but when he walked outside the pavilion, he suddenly stopped, and said with an extremely strange face: "Your Highness, the person who sent the plaque to the Tianyuan Gambling House has returned." ”
"Oh, come back when you're back, you don't have to tell me about this kind of thing in the future. Lin Yan waved his hand nonchalantly, obviously not particularly concerned about the gift of the plaque.
On the contrary, Lin Liang showed a hint of playfulness on his face, and asked, "Tian Yuan Gambling House received the plaque, what should be the reaction, right?"
Hearing this, Lao Lin glanced at Lin Liang in surprise, but he answered: "There is news from Tianyuan Gambling House, that Xue Li looked at the plaque sent by His Royal Highness, and then vomited blood and fainted. ”
"I was so angry that I vomited blood and fainted?"
Lin Liang was a little stunned, and asked Lin secretly blankly, "Your Highness, what kind of cultivation is this Xue Li?"
"Xue Li is the head of the Xue family, and the forces in the cultivation of the basic God Capital are all clear, and he is in the Seven Heavens of the King Realm, although he is piled up with a large number of heavenly materials and earth treasures, but he is a real King Realm cultivator!" Lin Dian also said a little dazedly, obviously shocked by this news.
"The Seven Heavens of the King Realm is the ability to bear this little bit in his heart?" Lin Liang muttered, it was his idea to send the plaque in the past, and he just wanted to disgust Xue Li, but he never thought that Xue Li would vomit blood because of this, and even fainted, this is also a King Realm martial artist!
But since he has passed out, then Lin Liang has nothing to say, not to mention that with the relationship between the Xue family and the eldest prince, sooner or later he will attack Lin Dian and Lin Liang, rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to take the initiative.
Lin Dian quickly thought of this, so he didn't take this matter to heart anymore, and after waving his hand to let Lao Lin retreat, he took out a beautifully styled name card and handed it to Lin Liang.
The name post is very exquisite, and the materials used are also extraordinary, it seems to be the fur of some kind of monster, which can ensure that the name post is not invaded and is not damaged at will.
Lin Liang took the name post, and what caught his eye was the four golden characters "Bin Zhi Baolai".
"What is this?"
"The invitation to the triennial auction in the entire Southern Regions is organized by Binbao Building. Lin secretly smiled and explained: "This auction happened to be held in the imperial capital, so Bin Baolou gave me an invitation, but I have never been very interested in this kind of auction, so I will give it to Brother Lin!"
Lin Liang didn't answer, but continued to flip through the invitation letter in his hand, which also recorded the lots sold in the last auction and some of the lots in this auction, including many martial arts and combat skills from the human level to the earth level, or the heavenly and earthly treasures above the spiritual product, and the information was very detailed.
Lin Liang quickly reacted to the invitation page by page, and the posture was not like browsing the lots, but like looking for something.
Seeing this, Lin Dian not only felt strange, but breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what Lin Liang was browsing or looking for, it showed that Lin Liang was interested in this auction, and he didn't waste this invitation.
Although the two have reached a cooperative relationship, as far as Lin Dark's heart is concerned, he still feels that Lin Liang should owe himself more favors to feel more at ease, this is probably also a habit of being born in the royal family, right?
When Lin Liang found a snow-white and a crimson spirit fruit in the invitation, he closed the invitation and put it away, and said with a smile: "Then I will thank Your Highness!"
"Brother Lin doesn't have to be polite, if you don't have enough money at that time, just use this jade talisman to contact me!" Lin said with a dark smile, and took out a jade talisman and handed it to Lin Liang.
"Your Highness seems to have forgotten something. ”
Lin Liang chuckled, but he didn't refuse Lin Yan's kindness, and put away the jade talisman.
Lin Dian then remembered that he had just gone to the Tianyuan Gambling House with the guy in front of him to collect debts, and now this guy's net worth was probably worth a lot of families in the God Capital.
Born in the imperial capital and grew up in the royal family, Lin Dian knows very well that those family forces, annual income is one thing, but in fact, it is another thing to go to the family, even the royal family is no exception, maybe from another point of view, the royal family is the largest family in the entire Great Yan Dynasty.
Just when Lin Liang and Lin Dian were talking, in the mansion of the eldest prince Lin Xuan, the shadow general who saw the whole process of the incident was half-kneeling behind Lin Xuan and repeating everything he saw.
"In this way, the so-called person pretending to be Xue Nan is actually Xue Nan himself?"
After quietly listening to the shadow general's retelling, Lin Xuan asked lightly.
"According to the subordinates, this is just an excuse to mobilize the Yan Yu army, and it doesn't matter if it's true or not. The shadow general said in a deep voice, obviously not hearing the other meaning of Lin Xuan's words.
"My uncle who cultivated in the Wang Realm was so angry that he vomited blood and even fainted because he was so angry that he was so angry that he vomited blood and even fainted by Lin Liang, who came out of nowhere?" Lin Xuan suddenly turned around and looked at the shadow general who was half-kneeling on the ground with interest.
The shadow general didn't understand why Lin Xuan asked some facts, but he didn't want to ask rhetorically, so he had to answer truthfully: "My subordinates saw it with their own eyes, Xue Li was indeed angry and fainted. ”
Alas!
Lin Xuan sighed inexplicably, and suddenly spoke: "I remember that this Lin Liang was the agreement with Li Dongshui at the beginning, at that time, you also went to the Hegu City branch in person, and even entered the realm of Yunmeng, so you come and tell me why this Lin Liang is not only alive, but also came to the imperial capital." ”
Hearing this, he was shocked, and he finally understood why Lin Xuan's attitude towards him today was always a kind of unspeakable strangeness, obviously because of Lin Liang's appearance, he even got together with the eighth prince Lin Xuan, which made Lin Xuan suspicious of himself.
Originally, the Shadow General was indeed supposed to tell everything that happened in the Cloud Dream Realm to eliminate Lin Xuan's suspicions, but compared to Lin Xuan's suspicions, the Shadow General knew more about Qin Tianjian's secret mission, and no one could leak it.
After a moment of silence, the Shadow General uttered the explanation he had said to Lin Xuan countless times.
Qin Tianjian sealed, and the five-word explanation was as pale and weak as ever.
Lin Xuan's gaze became fierce as early as when the shadow general spit out the three words Qin Tianjian, and in the entire imperial capital, except for his father Yanhuang, who was in retreat, the only thing left was the invulnerable Qin Tianjian.
Lin Xuan didn't understand why his father, Emperor Yan, wanted to use such a Qin Heavenly Prison that played a restraining role in imperial power, but in Lin Xuan's opinion, the existence of such a place might be the biggest variable in this imperial capital, right?
Qin Tianjian's strength is very strong, although he is not exposed to the world, but Lin Xuan, as the eldest prince, is very aware of the horror of Qin Tianjian, looking at the entire imperial capital, many forces have placed Lin Xuan's manpower, but only Qin Tianjian has nothing.
"Qin Tianjian ...... Are you planning to use it to suppress me all the time?" Lin Xuan asked solemnly, unconcealing the killing intent in his heart.
"The subordinates don't dare!"
The shadow general bowed his head and said, but his words were full of bitterness.
Forcibly suppressing the killing intent in his heart, Lin Xuan knew that he couldn't kill the shadow general because he was suspicious, everyone knew that the shadow general had been with him for many years, and he couldn't kill a shadow general and cause everyone under his command to be in danger.
"Go down!"
After a while, Lin Xuan sighed and said without saying a word.
The Shadow General got up and left in silence, he knew that it was impossible for him to say what happened in the Cloud Dream Realm, and apart from this incident, no matter what he said, it was impossible to dispel Lin Xuan's suspicions about him, maybe he wouldn't see Lin Xuan again after leaving, right?
The Shadow General knew that Lin Xuan would not kill him, no matter what the considerations were, but for the Shadow General, who was born in the Shadow Sect, it was more uncomfortable to abandon him than to kill him.
Thinking like this, the shadow general walked towards the courtyard step by step, although he could leave in one step, but he didn't do so, every step he took seemed to be looking back at every moment when he served Lin Xuan, and at the moment when the shadow general was about to step out of the courtyard, Lin Xuan's cold voice came from behind the shadow general.
"You can forget anything, but don't forget it, Shadow General, everything you have is from me to you!
Lin Xuan almost roared out this sentence, in his opinion, even the most loyal shadow generals were unwilling to tell the truth to themselves because of Qin Tianjian, maybe there was no so-called truly loyal person around him at all, right?
The shadow general walked out of the courtyard with a smile, and the moment Lin Xuan's voice came, what appeared in the shadow general's mind was not the past with Lin Xuan, but the conversation between himself and Lin Dian outside Hegu City.
He knew that it might be a good choice, but he knew even more that he had never liked to make choices, which was destined from the time he was led away by Lin Xuan in the Miao Sect, he was the only one who did not take the initiative to choose, and he was also the last one in that batch of "Miao" to leave.
The shadow general left, and Lin Xuan, who had a hideous face, regained his usual calm demeanor, standing alone under the only maple tree in the courtyard, he knew that he had no choice, perhaps, this is the so-called fate, right?
