Because Lin Haoming arrived relatively late, it was already late at night at the post house, so they went back to their respective pavilions to rest.
Early the next morning, someone sent a message outside asking to see him. Lin Haoming thought it was Huang Yuhua or Mu Shan, but when he saw it, he discovered that it was actually Tao Axe.
"Master Tao Mansion, you are a rare visitor!" Lin Haoming looked at Tao Axe's smiling face. He didn't know why this powerful man paid attention to coming to visit him early in the morning.
"Master Lin, what you said is wrong. I'm still your father-in-law, so why am I such a rare guest?" Tao Ax walked in and said half-jokingly.
"I was wrong, please!" Lin Haoming immediately put on a smile.
"Master Tao Palace, why are you looking for me?" Lin Haoming ordered someone to serve tea and asked straight to the point.
Tao Ax came alone, without even his trusted subordinate Hei Feng, and Lin Haoming did not let Yin Sha, who was following him, come with him.
Taoxu picked up the tea and took a sip with a smile. He looked around and saw that there was indeed no one. Then he smiled and said: "Palace Master Lin, you really don't show your face. I heard that you went to Luo's house with Bai Feng's daughter. , the grandma of the Luo family stole the show on her birthday, and now she has caught her eye."
"Master Tao Mansion is well-informed, but the theory that it caught the eye is just a lie. If it really caught the eye, would I still be tossing around in the Renyin Mansion?" Lin Haoming asked in return.
"Hehe, Master Lin, Mr. Tao married your most beloved daughter to you, and has he done anything to break the contract since signing the contract? You take over the Jiayin Mansion and Kuimao Mansion, I can't do anything about it. You haven’t done anything to hold you back. There will be a big state meeting soon, so why don’t you reveal something first so that I can be prepared!” Tao Ax said with a smile.
"Reveal what?" Lin Haoming asked a little strangely.
Seeing Lin Haoming like this, Tao Ax also frowned and said: "Palace Master Lin, you are not a friend enough. To be honest, I came here more than half a month earlier than you this time, and I found Diao Xiong early in the morning. , after all, you also know that the situation in Zilu is not good, and it will be a matter of time for Bai Feng to leave. I also want to prepare. Originally, I thought it must be Master Zhou Mu who sent a confidant here, but Diao Xiong hinted that things have changed, and he and I’ve thought about it over and over about the Luo family’s involvement, Palace Master Lin, you must know about it, right?”
When Lin Haoming heard this, he couldn't help but feel a lot more at ease. It seemed that the grandma had really not broken her promise and had indeed taken action. Although she had felt this way when she gave the longevity flower to Zizhen, but now after hearing Taoxu's words, Only then did I really feel at ease.
Of course, Lin Haoming couldn't tell Tao Ax, so he could only pretend to be helpless and said: "Master Tao, I really don't know about this matter. I can only tell you that the road master has already decided where to go. This has changed." What means?"
"Palace Master Lin, you are too uninterested. Let me tell you this, I, Tao Ax, am not that ambitious. I am not Jin Shanhai. I have advanced to the fourth level and am starting to think about the position of the road master. I am just trying to figure it out. Protect yourself." Tao Ax said.
"Master Tao Palace occupied the land of three palaces in one go, just to protect himself?" Lin Haoming asked deliberately.
Tao Shu said bitterly with a helpless expression: "Master Lin, a thousand years ago, Shen Lu attacked Zi Lu. Everyone knows that it was Zizhen who disliked Bai Feng and taught him a lesson. But after Bai Feng came back, not only did he not obey, Instead, he wanted to regroup. He secretly sold me the war boat in order to fight against Shen Lu. I said Palace Master Lin, you also handled this matter back then. I was considered Bai Feng's subordinate at the time, but I knew full well that I would fight with Bai Feng. Zhou Mu will not end well, and I am definitely just a pawn. What can I do? Instead of letting Bai Feng become a pawn against Shen Lu, I might as well leave a way out for myself. I have no intention of fighting against Shen Lu. I don't want to fight against Bai Feng. I just protect myself. Otherwise, why didn't I send troops when you didn't control Renyin Mansion? Why did I sign a thousand-year contract with you? Although I also had the intention of stabilizing the two mansions, But if I really surrender to Shenlu, I don’t need to consider the situation of those two governments.”
After hearing this, Lin Haoming felt that Taoxu was indeed forced into a very embarrassing position. If he followed Bai Feng closely, he would not be able to see the general trend clearly. In the end, he made such a choice. It cannot be said that he was ambitious. Lin Haoming deliberately married his daughter to him. Lin Haoming felt that Tao Ax was probably a very smart person at heart, leaving him with backup options everywhere. Otherwise, how could he be so shameless as to come to him today.
Seeing that Lin Haoming was silent, Tao Ax took a sip of tea and continued: "Master Lin, I think you understand my situation. I really have no choice. If it were you, you might do the same thing. This way Well, let me explain it to you. As long as Palace Master Lin reveals some information to me, I promise, Taoaxe, I will help you if you need anything. Moreover, over the years, you have done business with Shenlu through me. What can I do to make things difficult for you?"
"Hey! Master Tao Palace, it's not that I didn't say it, but I really don't know. I only know that the Luo family doesn't want all influence in Gengzhou to disappear. After all, Bai Feng is the Luo family's son-in-law." Lin Haoming said.
"You mean, the Luo family wants to keep Bai Feng? Or should another Luo family come over?" Tao Ax asked.
"I really don't know this!" Lin Haoming spread his hands.
"Hehe, Master Lin, we are also son-in-law, for the sake of my daughter, you have to help me." Tao Axe said in a low profile.
Seeing him like this, Lin Haoming understood that once things changed, palace masters like him would also be sacrificed. Whether it was Baifeng who stayed or another member of the Luo family, he would still be the one to be dealt with. Originally, he was obviously the target of sacrifice. He planned to take refuge immediately after Zizhen sent someone here, but things turned out to be unpredictable.
"Master Tao, the matter is not that serious!" Lin Haoming said with a smile.
"Master Lin, in the eyes of others, I am the master of the palace. I control the three palaces and am a powerful man. But I know that I am walking on thin ice every day. In the eyes of Zhou Mu and even the road master, I am He is a character who can be sacrificed at any time, but his value is different to people who have lived through different experiences." Tao Ax vomited bitterness towards Lin Haoming.
"Master Tao Mansion, you are serious!"
"I really don't mean what I say, Master Lin. If things are really as I think, please give Master Lin a hand. I, Tao Ax, am also a person of my word, and I will definitely be rewarded generously!" Ax assured Lin Haoming.
Lin Haoming seemed to really feel Tao Ax's uneasiness at this time, looking at him he finally nodded.
"Then please, it's just a little thought!" Tao Ax was also overjoyed when he saw Lin Haoming nodding, and handed a storage bag to Lin Haoming.
"Master Tao Palace, what are you doing?" Lin Haoming said unexpectedly.
"Be careful, Master Lin, please don't see anyone outside. I won't stay here soon, so as not to be made an excuse to say goodbye, say goodbye!" Tao Ax said as he stood up and was about to leave.
Lin Haoming could only send him out. He turned around and opened the storage bag and found that it was filled with blood crystal pills, amounting to about one million.
