Lin Tianxiao took a deep breath, and looked at Lin Zhan, who was wrapped like a zongzi on the other side, but his eyes were always calm.

Lin Tianxiao's lips moved a few times, as if he wanted to say something at the end, but he still didn't say it after all. In the end, he could only wave his hand weakly.

"Zhan'er, you go back and rest first. ”

Lin Zhan's eyes moved slightly, and he could see the old man's appearance clearly. Although Lin Tianxiao didn't say it in the end, Lin Zhan knew what Lin Tianxiao wanted to say.

Lin Zhan's existence is a threat, a mortal threat to all those who intend to do evil to the Lin family.

Lin Zhan only asks about the result, not the means. All he wants is the stability of the Lin family, as for anything else, Lin Zhan won't think about it at all.

Such a person is actually his grandson, which makes Lin Tianxiao feel both surprised and relieved, but also embarrassed and helpless.

Lin Tianxiao is the first person in the imperial military, but the will of some people in the empire Lin Tianxiao is powerless to change.

Lin Tianxiao is Lin Zhan's grandfather, but Lin Zhan's will is also unchangeable.

When these people in the empire really collided with Lin Zhan, the consequences caused were even more unwilling for Lin Tianxiao to see.

Such a fact made Lin Tianxiao very powerless and painful.

To be honest, Lin Zhan felt quite ridiculous about Lin Tianxiao's pedantic stubbornness. But when Lin Zhan saw Lin Tianxiao's appearance, Lin Zhan also admired the old man in front of him from the bottom of his heart.

"Grandpa, you asked me a question before, and I'll answer it again now. Lin Zhan didn't get up, but sat there and looked at Lin Tianxiao cautiously.

"As long as those people don't make a move, then my people and I won't take half a step out of the Lin family. ”

Hearing Lin Zhan's assurance again, Lin Tianxiao was not much happy in his heart, but more helpless.

Lin Zhan's words can also be understood in another sense.

If they moved, then Lin Zhan would definitely not be polite.

And with Lin Zhan's character, once he makes a move, it will be a thunderous blow.

"And what are you going to do next?"

"Recuperate. Lin Zhan said simply: "I also want to take this opportunity to prepare well." In two months, isn't the eldest brother going to marry the eldest princess?"

Hearing Lin Zhan suddenly mention this, Lin Feng's expression changed: "Little brother, the eldest princess ...... she"

"Big brother, don't worry. My goal is not to be the eldest princess. After passing the door, the eldest princess is my sister-in-law, and I still understand the minimum etiquette. ”

Lin Zhan said: "But big brother, you are getting married, no matter how you say it, this is a big deal." Accidents are going to happen, so I have to be prepared. ”

Hearing Lin Zhan's words, Lin Tianxiao couldn't help but nodded.

"Zhan'er, grandpa believes you know how to measure. Let's do this today, Crow, Feng'er, you two send Zhan'er back first. ”

"Yes. ”

Lin Zhan glanced at Lin Kecheng, who was left by Lin Tianxiao, and didn't say anything more. Accompanied by Lin Keluo and Lin Feng, he walked out.

Lin Tianxiao said so much today, what did he mean, Lin Zhan knew it. But as Lin Zhan said before, Lin Zhan understood why Lin Tianxiao did this, but he would definitely not agree with Lin Tianxiao's approach.

After a few people left, only Lin Kecheng and Lin Tianxiao were left in the house.

"Father. Lin Kecheng asked worriedly: "You say, will Zhan'er believe those words just now?"

Lin Tianxiao asked without replying: "If it were you, would you believe it?"

Lin Kecheng's face stiffened, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Although what my father said is not detailed, some aspects are still realistic. If it were a child, it would be fifty percent of the faith. ”

Lin Tianxiao smiled lightly: "You are still like this, how much can he believe Zhan'er?"

"The Heavenly Family has never had relatives. In our position, the word affection and meaning are not as real as interests at any time. I've worked my whole life for the Empire, and now it's all coming to an end. Not to mention that Zhan'er didn't believe in the royal family from the beginning. ”

Lin Tianxiao let out a long sigh: "Although my father is old, he is not confused. Everyone knows what the family is like now. Even you are resentful in your hearts, not to mention the two young and vigorous children Feng'er and Zhan'er. I can manage it for a while, but I can't manage it for a lifetime. Saying these words today to show Zhan'er an attitude, it can be regarded as my dedication to the empire. As for where the war will go in the future, how much can we manage?"

"Two generations of my Lin family have fought for Tianxing and paid all their efforts. The Xiao Jing brothers sacrificed their lives for the empire back then. My Lin family has done enough for the empire, no matter how things develop in the future, my Lin family can have a clear conscience. ”

After hearing this, Lin Kecheng felt a pang of regret in his heart. Not only for himself, but also for the old man in front of him.

Although Lin Tianxiao said it freely, Lin Kecheng knew in his heart that Lin Tianxiao was the most unwilling to see that kind of situation happen.

In the past ten years, the power of the Lin family has been continuously compressed, and the two young and vigorous children who have been hit the hardest are not Lin Feng and Lin Zhan, nor Lin Kecheng and Lin Keluo, who dare not speak out, but the old man in front of him who has dedicated his life to the Celestial Star Empire.

Under Lin Tianxiao's seemingly upright body, there is actually a melancholy and sadness that no one can see.

"Father, if Zhan'er really comes to the point of turning against the royal family, then I'm afraid it will be a situation of endless death. We must plan ahead before we cause a catastrophe. ”

Hearing Lin Kecheng's reminder, Lin Tianxiao's expression slowly became solemn.

What Lin Kecheng said was the most troublesome situation.

"We've all seen the horrors of war. With his potential and development speed, I am afraid that it will not be long before he can completely surpass the old man. ”

"But the royal family was able to suppress the Seven Great Families and dominate the Celestial Star Empire, and this was not a fluke. The heritage of the royal family is definitely not comparable to the so-called family. Although my Lin family is known as the first family, it is only a family after all. Everything the Lin family has now is just a reward from His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Lin Kecheng nodded and said, "Father, the strongest person allowed to appear in the family is the peak of the Holy Emperor's Great Perfection. But as far as the child knows, there should be a higher level of martial arts in the royal family. ”

"Not that there should be, but that there must be. And there is more than one. Lin Tianxiao said affirmatively: "With such a background, it is not difficult for the royal family to deal with the Lin family. It's just that the current Lin family is still valuable, and the royal family is still reluctant to let the Lin family be such an obedient and sensible courtier. Therefore, what the royal family wants is not to eliminate the Lin family, but to suppress the Lin family. Let the Lin family better help him manage the empire. ”

Lin Tianxiao sneered, and one sentence revealed the thoughts of the royal family: "After all, such a big empire always needs people to guard it. Although the strength of the martial artists above the Holy Emperor is terrifying. But when it comes to governing the country, these masters are not as good as those ordinary soldiers. ”

"Moreover, the royal family is still afraid of the old man. ”

Lin Kecheng stood aside with an unchanged expression, not at all surprised by Lin Tianxiao's words.

"Although my father has been suppressing cultivation for many years, the royal family should have been aware of it. Even Yu Wuwu and Zheng Wuji, who were not as good as the old man back then, have now broken through to the honorable level. Why has the old man been stuck at the peak of the Holy Emperor's Great Perfection for ten years?"

"Although there are martial artists above the Holy Emperor in the royal family, there are definitely not many of them. After all, at this point, it is already possible to break through the shackles of the world and reach a completely new realm. Even if the royal family has a deep background, I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand the counterattack of a strong man who can break through to the supreme level at any time. Not to mention that this powerhouse still holds the most elite army of the empire in his hands. ”

Lin Kecheng's eyes moved, and he thought, "Father, what do you mean ......?"

"The old man's suppression of cultivation is not to avoid trouble, nor is it to pretend to be a city. It's about giving the royal family a bottom line. ”

"Once the old man's strength breaks through to the honorable level, in order to maintain the balance between the imperial forces, the royal family is bound to recruit the old man into the palace and be driven by him like other honorable warriors, and from now on he will not be able to show his face in the court, let alone meddle in secular affairs, as if he was imprisoned. This is undoubtedly the biggest blow to the current Lin family. If the old man is edicted, the Lin family's power will immediately collapse by half, and other forces will fall into the well and attack in groups. The royal family may take care of the Lin family so that the Lin family will not die, but the Lin family will definitely fall to a low point because of this. And if the old man does not obey the edict, it will be a rebellion, and the royal family will have to deal with the Lin family. This is the real non-dying. ”
