Chapter 47: The Wind

Humility, for those who are not talented, is a kind of honesty, but for those who are extremely talented, it is a kind of hypocrisy. www.biquge.info Lin Hou has already determined from Fei Ying that the person he will serve does not like modesty or hypocrisy, so Lin Hou needs a stage to show his strength. According to Fei Ying's arrangement, Lin Hou successfully entered the officialdom of Renthnot; with significant popularity and the recommendation of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, in the officialdom, Lin Hou's road can be described as unusually open, unlike ordinary people who need to pay hard work and good luck, from the beginning Lin Hou lost the opportunity to work hard, and reached the height that many people need to pay for a lifetime to achieve. But it's a pity that this is not what he wants to pursue, and he also understands that once he is satisfied with the status quo and forgets what he really wants to do, he may immediately lose everything he has now.

Stopped, looked at the tavern in front of him, sighed, it was better than the casino, and then walked into the tavern, without any hesitation, he already knew the meeting place, and walked up to the second floor of the tavern one by one, and walked into a small private room.

"It's coming sooner than I expected, how about this place easy to find, right?"

"Can't you just find a place that looks more formal and elegant?"

"Why, does the newly appointed Inspector dislike us common people in the tavern? You know, this place is favored by the second prince, and I have already ordered a dish for you that the second prince likes, but you still have to pay for the money!"

"Okay, you didn't just ask me to come here to recommend the food in this tavern, did you?"

Fei Ying smiled and nodded: "How is it, do you still like the new position?"

"I don't like it or not, and my original interest is not here. ”

"Is it true? Inspector, although there is a whip in the middle under the General Division, but you are in charge of the entire Imperial City, in a sense, if the Prime Minister or the General Secretary has any bad behavior, you have the right to suspend their duties, which can be regarded as one of the most powerful positions. ”

"This position is not bad, but why would the eldest prince give me this position at such a critical moment? Not to mention that I sat in the relationship of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, if this position allows his people to sit up, shouldn't it be more beneficial for him?"

"You're right, but the arrangement of the position of the eldest prince is not counted, but in the hands of the prime minister, although Liufeng is dead, but the prime minister's son, before his death, the relationship with our Royal Highness is still good, His Royal Highness will rarely ask for help like the prime minister, once in a while, his son's face, the prime minister should still not be stingy, plus your original reputation is also good, as a civilian hero, isn't it right for you to supervise the words and deeds of these palace officials for the people?"

Lin Hou nodded in understanding, then the door of the private room opened, and plates of delicious dishes were slowly placed on the table, after the clerk left, looking at the delicious food on the table, Lin Hou said with some curiosity: "Just the two of us, will it be too much for you to order so many dishes?" Could it be that you asked me to come today just to celebrate my career?"

"Shi Tu ......" Fei Ying shook her head: "I'm here to talk to you about work." ”

Looking at each other, Lin Hou nodded: "Although the second prince and several city lords have come forward to call for the stop of the turmoil of the popular election, it seems to have no effect. And the harder we oppose it, the more excited everyone seems to be. ”

"But the situation of the original eldest prince's one-sided situation has indeed improved, and your information on this matter should be more accurate than mine, right?"

"I don't know how much, but in the last vote, the second prince's vote has increased significantly, and several city lords have expressed that they are not too interested in the king's election, and the whole clan has their own supporters to vote for themselves, and their votes have dropped greatly, except for our city lord of Snowal, Luo Li Yu. ”

"Exactly?"

"The eldest prince is still in the lead, followed by Luo Li, and the second prince has reached third place. ”

"Well, Luo Li, this person does have some skills, and I heard that he has a good relationship with His Majesty the King. ”

"And it's not bad to be an official, he is well-known in the mouth of the people, and this time in the election, under the instructions of the eldest prince, the city lords have all launched speeches, but he didn't do it. ”

Fei Ying smiled: "This kind of person is either too self-righteous and thinks that he really has a chance to fight with the princes with the support of the people, or he is too high-minded, and this kind of election that does not become is not in his eyes at all." ”

Lin Hou nodded, agreeing with Fei Ying's words: "At least for now, his attitude is a good thing for us. ”

"Just see how fierce the sparks he will rub with the eldest prince. Fei Ying pondered, "So what is the attitude of the officials in the palace towards this election?"

Most of them still support the eldest prince, but since the king has not expressed his position, in fact, many people in the court have begun to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the eldest prince himself. It's just that the second prince's political achievements are really not much, although some people are optimistic about the second prince, but they are still a minority. ”

"It's better to talk than nothing, you write down all these people who are optimistic about His Highness, maybe it will be useful one day. ”

"Understood. Lin Hou took a sip of wine: "But I'm a little worried, although the second prince's speech that day was wonderful, I don't think he has ...... Do you know what I mean?"

Fei Ying also took a sip of wine: "You don't have the qualifications to be a king, do you?"

Lin Hou nodded lightly: "At least what I saw is still a little different from what you described." ”

"You know, it's not easy for a person to play a role that he's not good at, and there are no flaws, so don't ask him to perform vividly. ”

"Playing? Do you mean that the second prince of that day was not his real side, and he only showed it so that the people would recognize him?"

"Hmph~" Fei Ying chuckled: "You can understand it like this." ”

"Anyway, have you heard? Since returning from the Vic Kingdom, our Royal Highness the Third Prince has been planning to create a Bounty Hunters Association. ”

"Bounty Hunters Guild?"

"Yes, I heard that I was inspired by the Wizards Association of the Vic Kingdom, and I wanted to hire some talented people to become bounty hunters to accept various commissions. ”

"His Royal Highness Ye Xiao is really good at playing. Fei Ying smiled and shook her head: "It seems that he really doesn't have the heart to compete for the throne yet." ”

"I heard that His Royal Highness Ye Xiao has a good relationship with the second prince, but in terms of temper, His Royal Highness Ye Xiao's temper should be more similar to that of the eldest prince, right?"

"So you've heard of same-sex exclusion?"

"Then I'm really a little curious about what kind of person the second prince fell to the ground," Lin Hou said, "When can you arrange for me to meet him?"

"You're going to have a chance. Lin Hou said: "And I think there should be a lot of opportunities for you to contact His Highness in the future." After that, many things need to be done by people in the court, and he will consult with you on many things, which is the main purpose of my invitation to come. ”

"But I've been serving as a court whip for a few days, don't say that the second prince came to me, even if I want to go to the second prince, I can't even see him. ”

"Do you really want to meet Your Highness?"

"If it doesn't cause any trouble to His Highness's plans, I'd love to talk to His Highness. "It's no secret that Ling Chen lives in the order barracks, but Lin Hou also knows that one of Ling Chen's big advantages is that the eldest prince doesn't know that his usually lazy younger brother has begun to compete with him for the throne, if he, an official who has just held an important position, suddenly leaves the kingdom and runs to the barracks to find a prince who doesn't do much on weekdays, maybe it will arouse the suspicion of the eldest prince.

Fei Ying looked at his eyes, from the window of the private room to look at the pedestrians passing one after another below, Lin Hou saw that Fei Ying was silent, knowing that he was thinking, picked up the chopsticks on the table, and prepared to taste the dishes recommended by Fei Ying, if it is really good, you can come here a few more times in the future, just raised the chopsticks, Fei Ying suddenly raised her hand and suddenly slapped the chopsticks in his hand down.

"Taste, what are you doing?"

"Hmm...... Don't you think it's a bit much for two people to order so many dishes?"

"So you hired someone else?"

Outside the city of Snowal, the second prince did not stay in the camp as usual, but left the barracks of the Order Legion very early, accompanied by Liao, came to the gate of Resnot to wait, although it was already summer, but this year the wind of Resnot did not weaken because of the change of seasons, the sun slowly set, looking at the clouds that were burned red, Liao Chen, who was calm and calm on weekdays, was also a little anxious, and finally when the sky was not completely dark, a carriage swayed into their sight.

The carriage stopped in front of the second prince, and Dou Wo walked out of the carriage: "Mr. Liao, it's finally here." ”

Liao Qian smiled at Dou Wo and nodded. They had seen it in the holy capital of Vik, Lafusa, and looked at the carriage of the carriage, the second prince and Liao Qian glanced at each other, Liao Qian nodded slightly, and then the second prince walked into the carriage, and after a while, Xiao Qiong took Lu Feier's hand and walked out of the carriage, Lu Fei turned around and said: "Ling Chen, is this the imperial capital of your human race?"

Although the climate in Resnot is not as hot as in the Oak Kingdom, after all, it is summer, and it won't take long for you to sweat if you wear a few more clothes, right? Therefore, Ling Chen did not wear his black robe as always, but a short shirt, and walked down from the carriage: "Yes, this is Snowal." ”
