Chapter 108: A Grand Banquet
"This Lin Ming has such an appeal before he grows up, if he is willing to help me, I think the succession will be much smoother. β
Thinking of this, Yang Lin had some gains and losses, before, Lin Ming and Zhu Yan had a bad relationship, afraid of being framed and assassinated, and maybe let himself be a backer, but this month has not been seen, Lin Ming's strength has grown too fast!
With his growing influence and the backing of the Seven Xuanwu Mansions, no one dares to move him lightly, he will definitely become a hot figure in the future, with such capital, he doesn't need to be attached to anyone.
"Haha, the last general will see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Nanwu Marquis smiled heartily after seeing Yang Lin, and then bowed down, although he could not bird the prince's invitation, but if he saw the prince, according to the rules, he still had to salute, Nanwu Marquis was just a marquis, up was the duke, and then there were county kings and princes, and the status of the prince was above the prince.
Don't look at the difference in rank so much, the title is just a title, there is no real power, it is virtual, a person's influence in the country of Tianyun has little to do with the title, but depends on the position, power and military power. This Nanwu Marquis has great influence in the army, and Yang Lin will be polite when he sees it.
Yang Lin hurriedly helped up Nanwu Hou Wu Hou is too outside, this time it is a family banquet hall meeting, just feel free, no need to be polite, Nan Wu Hou is one of the top ten generals of my Tianyun Country, Wu Po Condensation Period, this king has long wanted to get acquainted, this time Nanwu Hou came, but this king was extremely surprised, and also surprised!"
"Hehe, a few days ago, I was busy with military affairs, so I had no choice but to turn down His Highness's invitation. Nanwu Hou explained casually, of course Yang Lin would not pursue it, and warmly greeted Nanwu Hou to take a seat.
"Lord Wang of the Heavenly Fortune City Guardian Army has arrived!"
With the emcee's report again, Yang Lin raised his eyebrows, Wang Qian, the commander of the Tianyun City Guards?
Yang Lin was very surprised, Wang Gan's arrival surprised him even more than the arrival of Nanwu Hou, and he didn't even send an invitation to Wang Gan before.
Uninvited, and at such a sensitive time, how many spies are staring, this Wang Qian dares to come to the banquet? Isn't he afraid that Yang Zhen will remember him?
In fact, among today's guests, Wang Gan's status is not too noble, the position of the military lord is below the general, and there are dozens of generals in Tianyun Kingdom, and there are nearly two hundred military masters, and Wang Gan does not have a knighthood, not a nobleman.
It sounds like Wang Gan's status is not obvious, but in fact, this Wang Gan's status among the many military masters is the top, even more important than some generals at the bottom of the ranks, mainly because his position is too important - the military master of the Tianyun City Guardian Army!
Since ancient times, the battle for the throne has been very sensitive to military intervention, and the imperial city guards are even more sensitive. Almost all palace coups were carried out by the Imperial Palace Jinyi Guard and the Imperial City Guard!
Because of this, the Imperial City Guards of the Heavenly Fortune Kingdom do not have generals, but only have four military masters, who are in charge of the Tianyun City Guards in the east, west, north and south, so that the power is dispersed, and the four military masters can restrain each other.
Wang Qian is the commander of the Eastern Army, of course he knows the sensitivity of his identity, so he has always been cautious and maintains a balanced distance from any prince, and the person who can sit firmly in this position should be an old slippery head.
The military master of the Heavenly Fortune City Guardian Army is different from Nanwu Hou.
Even if the crown prince fails to succeed to the throne, Nanwu Hou can still be his general, with his prestige as the title of the top ten generals of the Tianyun Kingdom, the ten princes dare not move him lightly, and Wang Qian is different, he is just a small military master, and he is in charge of the imperial city guards, if it is not good, the ten princes will remove him, and even kill him according to a crime.
"Wang Qian is actually here, even if he wants to get acquainted with Lin Ming, he won't be ...... I remembered......" Yang Lin then remembered that two months ago, on the day of the big exam in the Seven Xuanwu Mansion, when he helped Lin Ming with a transmission note, it seemed that the one who framed Lin Ming was one of Wang Gan's sons. ...,
At the beginning, Lin Ming was just a small person, and this matter was just a casual thing for Yang Lin, and he didn't take it to heart at all, so he forgot about it.
It turns out that this is the case, these days Wang Qian is afraid that he will feel uncomfortable, thinking of this, Yang Lin smiled secretly in his heart.
Wang Gan is indeed suffering these days, this person was unlucky, lying down and also shot, when he learned that the person who had a conflict with his son was now Lin Ming, who was in the limelight of Tianyun Country, Wang Gan called a cry without tears.
Who did I recruit and who did I mess with?
Two months ago, in the big exam of the Seven Xuanwu Mansion, his son framed Lin Ming, and the prince passed a note to the Public Security Mansion, which just made Wang Qian feel a little uncomfortable, after all, this was just something that his unsuccessful son did, and the prince should not implicate himself.
But he never expected that the problem would be Lin Ming's body, this guy has transformed into a once-in-a-century genius in the Seven Xuanwu Mansion, and he must be a figure in the Heavenly Fortune Country in the future, this kind of character, as long as he is willing, he can definitely be crowned a duke and a general.
After Lin Ming grew up, it was easy to get rid of himself.
Wang Qian knew that the conflict between his son and Lin Ming was definitely not as simple as a fight, it was Cheng DΓΉ who killed and maimed people!
Wang Qian asked himself, if he encountered this kind of thing, he would never give up!
Therefore, how can he not be afraid, he has hardly slept these days, but Lin Ming is in the Seven Xuanwu Mansion, because of the regulations of the Seven Xuanwu Mansion, he has no chance to contact Lin Ming at all, let alone him, even those princes and nobles can't see him.
Therefore, the only chance he could see Lin Ming was this prince's banquet, he really wanted to strangle his son!
So on the day he learned the news, Wang Yigao, who had been punished by Wang Gan for half a year and confined for half a year, was dragged out by Wang Gan and beaten up overwhelmingly.
Speaking of Wang Yigao, he is about to have a nervous breakdown these days, the first time he was deflated at Lin Ming's place, it was Lin Ming who beat Wang Yigao's subordinates, Lin Ming at that time was an ant in Wang Yigao's eyes, and he was bitten by an ant, of course, he had to be trampled to death.
So Wang Yigao brought a large group of wine bags and rice bags that he thought he had good martial arts skills to clean up Lin Ming, but the names that were beaten were written upside down.
went back and was fined for two months, couldn't drink wine and eat meat, couldn't go to the Qinglou, it was like Wang Yigao's life, he came out and thought about revenge, so there was the scene of the assessment day of the Seven Xuanwu Mansion, at that time, Lin Ming was at most a cockroach in Wang Yigao's opinion, a little stronger than an ant, and he could still be trampled to death.
However, in fact, Wang Yigao was beaten even worse this time, not only beating people, but also slapping his face, and what was even worse was that after returning home, Wang Yigao was dealt with by Wang Qian's family law and was confined for half a year.
Slowly, Wang Yigao almost got used to the days when there was no wine and meat, no women, and he gnawed books on the martial arts scriptures every day, but he was locked up well, and Wang Yigao was inexplicably dragged out and beaten again.
This time, the beating was really ruthless, Wang Yigao, who was beaten directly, almost fainted, and finally he learned why he was beaten, the name Lin Ming has now completely become Wang Yigao's nightmare, borrowing him 10,000 guts, he didn't dare to do anything to Lin Ming anymore.
The family law of the big family has always been strict. Wang Gan must beat Wang Yigao, he is actually protecting Wang Yigao, he wants to give Lin Ming an explanation, Wang Yigao wanted to kill Lin Ming at the beginning, if he didn't fight harder, Lin Ming might not expose this matter.
"The last general will see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, come uninvited, please atone for your sins. Wang Qian bowed deeply, looking a little sincerely afraid.
"Haha, Lord Wang Jun is polite, Lord Wang Jun can come, this king is very happy, please feel free. Yang Lin didn't say much, he knew that Wang Qian was here to see Lin Ming today.
"Your Highness. β
As time passed, one after another princes and nobles came to the banquet, and this time the prince's banquet presented an unprecedented prosperity. ...,
Celebrities from all walks of life, dressed in gorgeous dresses, chatted softly with wine glasses, and their every move showed aristocratic etiquette. These people are all the people of Tianyun City.
"Sister Jingyun, you're here too. Murong Zi found Bai Jingyun in the crowd, her face, which was originally a little impatient because of the entanglement of some gentlemen, suddenly changed to a happy smile, she moved, like a small fish, appeared beside Bai Jingyun in a blink of an eye, even if she was wearing a gorgeous and cumbersome dress, it did not affect her movements at all, but in such an elegant banquet, her movements did not seem abrupt, but brought people a kind of flowing elegance.
"Sister Murong, I didn't expect your Murong family to come too. β
Murong Zi and Bai Jingyun are the two Heavenly Pride Girls of the Seven Xuanwu Mansion that Lin Ming saw in the last Ten Thousand Killing Array assessment, Murong Zi is seventeen years old and ranks twenty-eighth in Shi, while Bai Jingyun is eighteen years old and ranks twenty-second in Shi, and the two women are collectively known as "Seven Xuanwu Shuangjiao".
They can be said to be women who have thousands of graces in one, and when the two women get together, they immediately attract the attention of many men, and the two of them stand out in this hall like proud peacocks.
"I remember that your Murong family rarely saw the prince's banquet. Bai Jingyun paused slightly when she said this, and then smiled lightly and said in a low voice: "This time it won't be for you to go on a blind date, right?"
Sister Yun, you are teasing me again, none of these gentlemen are decent!" Murong Zi does have the capital to say this, her natural strength, coupled with her appearance and temperament, looking at the entire Tianyun City, only Qin Xingxuan can safely compare with her.
There are indeed few sons of the family who are worthy of Murong Zi, Zhang Guanyu has good looks and talents, but he is notoriously lustful, and he has practiced Hehuan Gong, so far he doesn't know how many women he has played, as for the Ten Princes and the Prince, the Prince already has a wife, with Murong Zi's arrogance, it is naturally impossible to be a concubine, besides, the battle between the Prince and the Ten Princes is still unclear, and the Murong family naturally does not dare to marry rashly.
"Hehe, of course I'm not talking about them, I'm talking about ......" Bai Jingyun was just saying this, when the voice of the master of ceremonies suddenly came from outside the door: "Lord Lin Minglin of the Seven Xuanwu Mansion has arrived!" (to be continued)
