The second prince smiled and said: "I'm afraid this matter is going to disappoint the junior brother, about the matter of the Ye family and Ye Qingxuan, the senior brother really can't provide any useful information, after all, the Ye family can't pose any threat to my royal family after the seclusion, there is no need to spend too much energy and time on them, but since the junior brother is interested, the senior brother will go to the palace to inquire, what news will be told to the junior brother as soon as possible, how about it?"

"Thank you, Your Highness. ”

Mo Lin hurriedly thanked him, the second prince's words were not unreasonable, after all, it was an old thing from fifteen or sixteen years ago, and the second prince was only five or six years old at that time, how much could he understand? However, what Mo Lin wanted was his attitude.

When I was full of wine and food, it was time to leave.

The second prince did not continue to stay, and after a few polite words, he asked the eunuch to drive the chariot that came to send Merlin back to the Fengshen Academy.

As soon as the chariot left, a middle-aged man in a red robe walked out of the bamboo forest.

"Your Highness, do you really want to lend 50,000 elite soldiers to Merlin? The transfer of troops and horses requires His Majesty's personal order. The middle-aged man came behind the second prince and said in a low voice.

The second prince said calmly: "Do you think I'm joking?"

The middle-aged man said: "This Merlin is unfathomable, His Highness should let his subordinates kill him directly, so that he can never suffer in the future." ”

The second prince shook his head and said, "Do you know what Dean Huang wrote in the letter to me?"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "My subordinates don't know." ”

The second prince took out a bright yellow envelope, handed it to the middle-aged man, and walked out.

The middle-aged man opened it, and after seeing the words on it, his sharp pupils instantly shrank into a small dot.

Written on paper.

"The Eastern Courtyard Merlin is invincible with the strength of the whole country. ”

Just twelve words.

The hidden meaning is enough to tell a lot.

If the letter had been written by someone else, the middle-aged man would have taken it as a joke.

It was Huang Tiejia who could write the letter.

The second prince's maternal uncle.

The entire Yunlan Kingdom is the only one who is willing to willingly cut off his head and shed blood for the second prince.

Compared with those dead soldiers who have been trained since childhood, he is the one who is most loyal to the second prince of Yunlan.

......

That night, the second prince entered the palace to meet His Majesty, but did not return all night.

......

Merlin didn't expect the second meeting with the second prince to be so soon.

On the afternoon of the second day after returning to the academy, he met the second prince.

This time, the second prince came to the door in person, and only brought an entourage dressed as an old slave, who appeared in front of Mo Lin wearing the blue robe most often worn by Yunlan literati scholars, just like a student who had traveled by endorsing books.

After a brief greeting, the second prince took out a tiger talisman and handed it to Mo Lin.

"This tiger talisman can mobilize 60,000 city defense soldiers, the father of the emperor brother sent troops to destroy the ruthless sect did not forcibly block the matter is very regretful, in order to make up for the mistake, the special seal of the younger brother is a product to protect the country, and the thirteen cities of Chang'an, Jiuchang and Tianyang in the thirteen cities of North County are fiefdoms, which are the edict of reward and the official seal of the prince. ”

The sudden good news made Merlin stunned.

The princes and nobles of Yunlan Kingdom are also divided into three, six and nine ranks, in addition to His Majesty the King, who is in the first place, there are five ranks: duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male.

Prince Song Yuanbiao belongs to the first-class grand duke, although the four major families do not have fiefdoms, but they have all the rights of the first-class grand duke, and Mo Lin's status as a protector of the country is not much more than that of the four major families, that is to say, from today on, Mo Lin has been officially included in the list of first-class magnates in Yunlan State.

"It stands to reason that I should enter the palace first and kowtow to His Majesty to thank you?"

Mo Lin, who quickly regained his composure, took the official seal edict and asked the second prince with a smile.

The second prince said: "My father is seriously ill, and I don't need to face the saint, you will collect the edict seal first, and after the New Year, you will be officially sealed, and now the dignitaries and princes and ministers in the city do not know, as for when the sealing ceremony will be held, where is the venue for the guest banquet, you decide, if there is no suitable choice for a while, then it will be in my Zhenghe Palace, oh, by the way, the princes of Yunlan Kingdom and above the second grade must have a royal mansion, and my father wants to give you the palace of my imperial uncle Song Yuanbiao, what do you think?" If you're not satisfied, I'll build you another one. ”

What is called thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river.

Merlin has experienced it firsthand.

A flurry of good news caught Merlin a little off guard.

When he wanted to see the second prince, the main purpose was to find out the truth and see the attitude of the second prince.

As for the theory of borrowing soldiers, it is also that he wants to return blood for blood, tooth for tooth, and now that he has been promoted to Martial King, he has the help of the two great masters of Thunder and Fire Ouyang, and he has secretly received the support of the major family forces, if he wants to destroy the three major sects, do you still need help from others?

As long as he gives an order, the Fang family, the Chen family, the Nine-Story Building, the Wind God Academy, the Flame Legion, and more than a dozen other second-rate and third-rate families will go all out to destroy the three major sects that have suffered great damage to their vitality, although it is not easy, but it is not much worse.

Merlin's prestige today is due to many reasons.

The comradeship of life and death in the process of treasure hunting is the foundation.

The viciousness of the eldest prince to kill them all is the inducement.

In the final analysis, it is Merlin's cultivation strength that has reached the point where the major families are secretive.

It's just what happened on Seven Star Island, Mo Lin believes that no one dares to say it, and when he went to see the second prince, he didn't reveal any meaning of being a strong man, he just wanted to see the attitude of the Song family.

Now.

He saw it.

I have to admit that the Song family's ability to dominate Yunlan for thousands of years is indeed not due to luck.

In just one night, the Song family completely changed their attitude and tried their best to win themselves over, which can only show that there are indeed masters and capable people in the imperial family, but I don't know if it is the old emperor who is said to have had an accident during cultivation and almost went mad.

"I'll talk about the sealing ceremony later, as for the mansion, but it's disrespectful, I'll agree first, but I don't know if there is any news about the Ye family?"

Mo Lin is not hypocritical, since the emperor is willing to show goodwill, he will naturally not be polite, as long as he can avenge the dead disciples of the Ruthless Sect, he is happy to do other things.

Seeing that Mo Lin did not refuse himself, the second prince was in a good mood and said: "The matter of Ye Qingxuan, the senior brother has also inquired about the matter of Ye Qingxuan, although the Ye family took the initiative to hand over Ye Qingxuan to my Song family for disposal, but after being imprisoned in the imperial city prison for a few months, he was returned to the Ye family, so I have to go to the Ye family to inquire about this matter." ”

"I see, then I will go to the Ye family in person when I have time. ”

Seeing that the second prince wanted to speak and stopped, Mo Lin smiled and said, "Your Highness, please say anything directly." ”

The second prince coughed lightly and said, "I don't know why the junior brother is so interested in Ye Qingxuan, but the Ye family is different from other families, and the family is extremely strict. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me, I have my own measure. ”
