Chapter 16: The March Covenant

The night sky is like ink, and the moon and stars are scarce.

On the dome of Fengxian Tower, a scholar and a young man sat on the ground, drinking opposite each other, and there were large and small wine jars next to them.

It was the Wing King and Lin Han.

"Lin Han, you ...... Do you know why this king has to invite you to drink?"

Murong Yi's face was full of wine red, his eyes were slightly drunk, and he suddenly smiled.

Although Lin Han's face was flushed at this time, he was also a little drunk, but in the face of this unpredictable prince, he still tried to stay sober and vigilant.

"Back to Your Highness, the little people don't know. He said cautiously.

"Let me tell you, because of you, not only let me watch a good show, but also made Lin Xiong lose face and make the Lin family lose face!

"No, didn't this Wing King cooperate with the Lin family in an earth-shattering deal, it stands to reason that the relationship between the two sides should be relatively close, why is he dissatisfied with the Lin family?"

"That's right! A few years ago, I heard the elders say very clearly, it was several big people who secretly signed a huge amount of weapons orders with the Lin family, which means that there are other people besides the Wing King! Could it be ....."

As if thinking of something, a thunderclap flashed in Lin Han's eyes, and he hurriedly lowered his head and drank, not daring to answer easily.

And Murong Yi, who was on the other side, drank a glass of spirits, but his mood became even more depressed.

He looked at the void with drunken eyes, and muttered: "The world thinks that I, as a royal noble, want the wind and the rain, but in fact, this king is not as good as you as an ordinary person, at least you are free and easy, happy and vengeful, I ...... I'm so jealous of you!"

"Your Majesty is too serious, the small people have nothing, and they have a cheap life, how can they be compared with Your Majesty's golden body. Lin Han hurriedly replied.

"Okay, okay, this king is looking for you to drink and talk to you today, don't pretend, okay? We are now equal identities between friends, there is no highness and commoner, be sincere with each other, okay?"

Murong Yi put down his wine glass and said with some displeasure.

"Okay, well, since you've said so, I'll do my best. ”

Lin Han shook his head and said with a wry smile: "But what I said just now is true, I really want to come to this world, just like you, with one side of power, and enjoy endless glory and wealth, but now I have nothing, I have to start from scratch and not say anything, and I have to beware of dog thieves like Lin Xiong everywhere, I am really tired." ”

"Brother, let me tell you the truth, I thought so when I was a child, I always felt that I didn't have to do anything in this life, I had nothing to do with women, drank and gambled, and I became a king of pleasure and leisure, but the reality is cruel......."

The corners of Murong Yi's mouth trembled, swallowing the smell of wine, as if he had fallen into some dark memory:

"That year, the emperor died, and I and several royal brothers were quickly summoned into the imperial capital by the queen mother, and when I arrived at the outskirts of the imperial capital, I learned that except for me, who was young and ignorant, I only brought servants and a few monks to escort me, and the other seven royal brothers secretly mobilized a large number of military horses, ready to snatch the throne into the bag!"

"You know what happened next...... The Rebellion of the Eight Kings!"

"Tsk, I saw with my own eyes countless Daxuan soldiers and warriors fighting outside the palace gate, corpses and blood donations filled the entire moat, and the imperial capital that night, the rain was bloody. ”

As he spoke, Murong Yi's eyes were blood-red, and his voice suddenly became a little astringent: "Do you know, if it weren't for me at the age of sixteen, I stepped on the high platform and said the oath that shook the world and never touched the throne in front of hundreds of officials, and among the eight kings who should be recited, I am afraid that the name of the Wing King would also disappear forever......"

Lin Han's eyes straightened when he heard this, and the wine in his hand was unconsciously spilled on the ground.

Although he had some knowledge of these past events, at this moment, Murong Yi, as a first-hand witness, personally recounted the coup, which gave him an immersive and thrilling feeling.

"From that moment on, I knew that the former Murong Yi had died before......"

"And in the future, I vow never to let anyone dominate my fate again!"

After speaking, Murong Yi's eyes were like electricity, and he slammed the wine glass in his hand on the ground, and the decadent aura on his face was swept away, replaced by the aura of a king that Lin Han had never seen before!

'Damn, this is simply a realistic portrayal of the anti-thief's mental journey!'

However, if I can catch the line of the Wing King and help him succeed, I am afraid that my dream of becoming the richest man in the Great Xuan Dynasty is almost one step away. ’

"Forget it, don't be too ambitious, after all, I'm just starting out, and the system is not familiar enough, even the Lin family can't compete, how can I have the ability to support an army?" What's more, everyone understands the truth of becoming a king and defeating a king, and the successful one is a king and a marquis, and he is illustrious, but the fate of the loser is never miserable......

Thinking of this, Lin Han shook his head, forcibly suppressed the ambition in his heart, and drank the wine in his hand.

"Come, come, let's not talk about these old adult things, let's drink first, drink!"

It seemed that he also realized that he had lost too many words, Murong Yi hurriedly changed the topic, and once again turned into the previous smiling Buddha, and raised his wine glass with a smile.

"By the way, let's talk about you, brother, what's going on with you and the Lin family?"

While pouring wine, he suddenly looked at Lin Han and asked.

"It's nothing, there were just a few small holidays in business before. ”

Lin Han was slightly stunned and said casually. Before he completely figured out the relationship between Murong Yi and the Lin family, of course, he couldn't easily give out the bottom tray.

"I'm afraid it's not just a small festival...... Murong Yi's gaze flashed a hint of cunning, and then sighed, and said, "Oh, look at you, you're not honest again, it's really boring, you guy......"

"Well, I'm not telling the truth, but there are some secrets that you can only know, don't you?"

Lin Han looked at him with a smile.

"Cut, who said that, I told you everything today, completely honest and unreserved!"

After speaking, Murong Yi shook his head, looking very aggrieved.

"Is it really unreserved?" Lin Han smiled, "That's it, didn't you just say that the Lin family was embarrassed, which made you very relieved? You tell me about your holiday with the Lin family, and I will tell you the truth about mine, if there is a lie, the sky will thunder." ”

"Me and the Lin family?"

A trace of imperceptible panic flashed on Murong Yi's face, coughed, and said, "Okay, it doesn't hurt to tell you, a few years ago, when the Great Xuan Expeditionary Force was fighting with the last main force of the Ice Country, they accidentally fell for the witchcraft of the opponent's high priest, and the weapons in the camp were devoured by the wind, so they had to retreat temporarily." ”

"And I, I just have a kind of five-grade mortal weapon that can resist that kind of witchcraft, reporting the mentality of worrying about the country, I personally found the Lin family, but I didn't expect that the head of their Lin family, thought that the unit price I gave was too low, and was only willing to make half of the finished product, and later, under my forced request, they still made it, but it's just like that, this beam is so finished, hey......"

Murong Yi sighed and raised his eyebrows: "Okay, I've told you everything, it's time for you to speak, I just saw Lin Xiong's hatred for you, I really want to wonder what you did to him......"

"Hey, it's just talking, it's just talking, it's so disappointing to me. ”

Lin Han shook his head.

"Damn, what I said is true! Why don't you believe it?"

Murong Yi was anxious, like a child with a tantrum.

"Forget it, His Royal Highness the Wing King, a friend like you, Xiaomin can't afford to climb high. ”

Lin Han finished his last sip of wine and stood up, looking like he was about to leave.

"Do you know anything?"

Murong Yi suddenly thought of something, his face changed, and he stopped him and said, "Just say what you know, I swear I will never blame you!"

"Your Royal Highness the Wing King, you and the Lin family did have a weapon deal, but as far as I know, the huge number of orders for buying and selling is not ordinary weapons, but siege spirit weapons such as the 'Five Elements Spirit Cannon', as for what it is used for, I don't know. ”

"But I heard that the gate of the imperial capital was five hundred years ago, dozens of Jindan monks, infused with pure yang true power, ordinary siege equipment, not a single hair at all, only a special spiritual instrument like the Five Elements Spirit Cannon can ......"

"Shut up!"

Murong Yi's expression was calm, and his eyes revealed a terrifying color like hell karma:

"Do you know that slandering the royal family and plotting rebellion is a grave crime that will never be recovered! You are not afraid that I will kill you right now?"

"Of course you won't kill me. ”

Lin Han smiled indifferently: "Actually, just now, I figured out everything......

"In my opinion, His Royal Highness is indeed a king who can endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens and have great ambitions, the reason why you dislike the Lin family is because Lin Zhen is the grass on the wall, in order to protect himself, he carried you behind his back, and the military weapons were also sold to those three people with the same status as you, and you have carefully planned for so many years, and there must be no problems in this link......

"So you came to Cangzhou, which has the reputation of "the country of forging", trying to find a trustworthy replacement for the Lin family, but you didn't expect to meet me by chance......"

"If I'm not mistaken, in fact, just now, His Royal Highness had already sent someone to the Lin family to inquire about my grievances with the Lin family, and knew my identity as a forging master, and you invited me to drink, just to test something. ”

"Your Highness, you are a smart person, but I am not stupid......"

Lin Han sighed, walked over, looked at the expressionless Murong Yi, and said softly: "Believe me, the mask has been worn for too long and can't be taken off, it's better to be honest and take what you need, I, I just want to be a rich businessman, you should understand what I mean." ”

"Of course, if you still think I'm talking nonsense, please have the guards show up and execute me, the slanderer of the royal family, on the spot. ”

After speaking, Lin Han's eyes were hot, staring at him deadly, waiting for the other party's decision.

He knew very well that since he chose to be the one who opened the skylight, the other party's next reaction was a gamble on fate!

It's just that there is only one thing, he won't gamble with it, and he will never lose, and that is this life!

"Shenjimaru, if I really have a desperate situation in my life, it will be tonight. ”

Lin Han muttered.

"Three months. ”

Murong Yi turned his back to him, facing the starry sky, and said flatly, as if talking to himself.

"I'll give you three months to bring down the Lin family, and after the matter is completed, come to Luozhou Yiwang City to find me-"

"Let's ...... together"

"Do something earth-shattering. ”
