Lin Xiao murmured in a low voice.
Suddenly, he looked at Lin Cheng and said loudly: "How about we buy a house? This shabby yard is too small. Let's buy a house bigger than Cui Mansion."
"Need not."
Lin Cheng looked at Lin Xiao and explained: "Eunuch Bai just said that the court will probably allocate me a house and give me a fief."
"It's over."
Lin Xiao sat down on the chair and said distressedly: "I finally thought of a place to spend money, but the court blocked it."
Lin Cheng smiled lightly and was about to go into the house.
suddenly.
He stopped, looked outside the courtyard, and said coldly: "Come here in the middle of the night using Qinggong. He is either a killer or a thief."
Lin Xiao heard this and stood up: "Is someone here again?"
As the two watched, a figure came from outside the courtyard.
"It's you."
When Lin Xiao saw the person coming, he immediately cursed: "What are you doing here in the middle of the night? Could it be that Cui Mansion sent you here because he couldn't hold his breath?"
This person is the man named Liu.
The opponent held a long sword and stared at Lin Cheng with murderous intent on his body.
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, the man sneered: "Haha. Originally, you had nothing to do, but you insisted on provoking my junior sister, so I have to keep you here."
【beep】
[Kill the man surnamed Liu and reward 200 destiny coins]
System prompts rang in Lin Cheng's ears.
And this time.
The man surnamed Liu drew out his long sword, looked at Lin Cheng and said, "You have been in the limelight today, so you can try to catch my sword."
Under the moonlight.
The man's sword skills were like spring rain, and he was killing Lin Cheng.
"My swordsmanship is average."
Lin Cheng’s brief comments.
"Suffer death!"
When the man saw Lin Cheng's calm face, he was furious.
In an instant, the long sword in his hand swung like rain, stabbing at Lin Cheng densely.
Lin Cheng looked at the incoming sword moves and slowly extended his fingers.
Suddenly.
The air seemed to be stagnant.
Lin Cheng actually took the sword away from the man's hand and sneered: "With this strength, you should assassinate me?"
The man looked pale.
He looked at the empty palm of his hand and murmured: "Impossible. I have first-class strength, how can you take the sword from my hand?"
Subsequently.
The man seemed to understand something. He looked at Lin Cheng and shouted: "You are hiding your strength! Are you a super master?"
Lin Cheng didn't bother to explain.
He used the long sword as a hidden weapon and threw it at the man.
The man looked at the incoming sword and wanted to escape, but found that the sword had blocked his escape route.
Only a flash of cold light was seen.
The man had a sword pierced his throat and fell to the ground helplessly.
He looked at the bright moon in the sky, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes... At this time, he already understood that the Lin Cheng in front of him was the person in the rumors.
Lin Cheng looked at the corpse on the ground, and system prompts rang in his ears one after another.
[Mission completed, reward 200 destiny coins]
【beep】
[Destroy Qiumeishan and reward 1,400 destiny coins]
When he heard about the annihilation of Qiumei Mountain, Lin Cheng was a little confused... Why was it only 1,400 destiny coins? In the past, the annihilation of the Pingyun Eighteen Bandits and the Pingyun Mountain Bandits cost thousands of destiny coins.
Perhaps the system rewards destiny coins according to difficulty.
Now that he is innately powerful, wouldn't it be easy to destroy a small force?
Lin Cheng was too lazy to think carefully.
He returned to the house, sat cross-legged on the ground, and started to use the phaseless magical power.
The next day.
The morning sun shines through the wooden windows into the room.
Lin Cheng slowly opened his eyes.
He practiced all night, and not only did he not feel sleepy, but he was full of energy.
Come out of the house.
The yard was clean, and there was no trace of last night's corpse.
It's probably been dealt with by the old man a long time ago.
Lin Cheng heard movement outside the yard. He opened the door and saw a familiar figure lingering outside the door.
This person is Cui Linlin.
When she saw that it was Lin Cheng who opened the door, a trace of surprise flashed across her face.
After a moment of relief.
She walked towards Lin Cheng and said fiercely: "Lin Cheng, have you seen my senior brother? Has he come to see you?"
"seen."
Lin Cheng responded calmly.
Hearing this, Cui Linlin looked a little ugly... Yesterday, the senior brother promised to kill Lin Cheng and his son, but now Lin Cheng is fine, and the senior brother has disappeared.
She waited all night but didn't see her senior brother come back.
Therefore, she went outside the Lin family yard to check.
But the scene in front of her made her a little overwhelmed.
Lin Cheng is not dead!
But the senior brother is missing!
Has senior brother changed his mind?
Senior brother is the most powerful disciple in Qiumei Mountain, second only to the elders on the mountain. Unless he deliberately held back, the Lin family and his son would not be alive now.
Think of this.
Cui Linlin complained a little in her heart.
She looked at Lin Cheng and said coldly: "As long as you see it, my senior brother is just here to teach you a lesson. My Cui family is not someone to be trifled with!"
"oh."
Lin Cheng nodded and asked again: "Why don't you ask where your senior brother is?"
"Can you tell me where he went?"
Cui Linlin left Lin Cheng with her back in a hurry and left.
Lin Cheng looked at the other party's leaving figure, took out a willow leaf dart from his arms, and hesitated whether to take the woman's life.
suddenly.
There was the sound of horse hooves in the street ahead, and several armored men riding fast horses passed Cui Linlin.
Cui Linlin stopped.
She was a little curious...these armored men were the imperial guards in the palace. What were they doing here?
The leader of the armored man, after seeing Lin Cheng.
He quickly held a scroll and shouted: "Mr. Lin, take the order! The emperor has ordered you to enter the palace as soon as possible."
So fast?
Lin Cheng was startled...Didn't Eunuch Bai say he would have to wait a few days?
He had no choice but to say, "Just wait for me for a moment, and I'll bring the horse over."
"Master Lin, no need."
The armored man shook his head and drove his men off the horse: "The emperor's order is urgent. Mr. Lin, please ride on our horses first."
"Um."
Lin Cheng had no choice but to mount his horse and signal the armored imperial troops to clear the way.
this moment.
Cui Linlin stood in the street, her face turned extremely pale.
Master Lin?
These forbidden troops actually called Lin Cheng "Master"?
Could it be that Lin Cheng is the person in the rumors? If so, then his strength must be far higher than that of his senior brother!
Thinking of this, Cui Linlin showed a trace of fear in her eyes.
Senior brother must be gone!
嘘嘚嘚……
The armored Forbidden Army passed by Cui Linlin quickly, and Lin Cheng followed behind unhurriedly, passing by Cui Linlin.
Seeing Lin Cheng leaving, Cui Linlin breathed a sigh of relief.
She had already guessed Lin Cheng’s identity!
But before she could take a breath, she heard the sound of horse hooves coming back.
She quickly looked around and saw Lin Cheng riding back again and stopping in front of her.
"You, what do you want to do?"
Cui Linlin looked at Lin Cheng and took a few steps back in fear.
At this time.
Seeing that Lin Cheng did not follow, the armored imperial army hurried back: "Master Lin, why are you back again?"
Lin Cheng looked calm and said with a smile: "There was a man in black who assassinated me last night and was killed. I suspected that this woman was in cahoots with the thief..."
"I didn't, I didn't."
Cui Linlin interrupted Lin Cheng and wanted to escape.
Lin Cheng sneered, raised the long whip in his hand, and hit Cui Linlin hard.
Bang.
Cui Linlin flew three or four feet away, not knowing whether she was alive or dead.
Upon seeing this, the leader of the imperial army left two of his men to guard Cui Linlin, and then said to Lin Cheng: "She is being watched by us. Mr. Lin, just follow us into the palace, and we will deal with it after you come back."
"good."
Lin Cheng followed the other party and rode towards the palace.
There are armored imperial troops opening the way.
The journey was smooth.
Under the leadership of the armored imperial army, Lin Cheng was arranged outside the imperial study room.
"Master Lin, I'll go and report it first." The armored forbidden army said a simple word to Lin Cheng and left in a hurry.
But who would have thought that once the other party left, there was no trace of him at all.
Lin Cheng waited silently, a little bored.
"Master Lin."
Suddenly, a delicate female voice sounded from behind Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng turned around and saw a slim girl in a red dress with a delicate face looking at him with interest.
"Meet the princess."
Lin Cheng recognized the other party's identity based on his clothing.
"No need to be polite."
The girl said delicately, her eyes always staying on Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng was a little frightened by the other party's look, so he could only say: "May I ask the princess, why do you look at your humble position like this?"
"I heard rumors about you."
With a smile on her face, the girl added: "I am Princess Yunzhi, and Yunyao must call me sister when she sees me. Will you follow me from now on?"
Princess Yunzhi?
Lin Cheng was startled, he knew who the other party was.
This time the Yuan Qing Dynasty planned to propose marriage to Zhao Yan, and they selected two people. One was Princess Yunyao, the daughter of the imperial concubine.
The other one is the Queen's daughter, Princess Yunzhi.
That is, the person in front of you.
"Well."
Hearing Princess Yunzhi's words, Lin Cheng didn't know how to respond.
This is a question of taking sides.
You know, he is Princess Yunyao's bodyguard.
Although he has made a meritorious service this time and will no longer have to be a guard in the future, in the eyes of everyone, he is still a member of the royal family.
Now Princess Yunzhi has come to win over her. She represents the queen line.
This may involve a dispute between the emperor and the nobles!
Lin Cheng didn't want to get caught up in the whirlpool of fighting.
At this moment.
The armored forbidden soldier came back, and he shouted to Lin Cheng: "Master Lin, the Holy One has summoned you, come over quickly."
"good."
Lin Chengru was released and walked away.
Yunzhi looked at Lin Cheng's back and said hurriedly: "Mr. Lin, please wait for me. I will go with you to see dad."
Hear the words.
Lin Cheng walked and ran, leaving Princess Yunzhi behind.
Under the leadership of eunuchs.
Lin Cheng passed various inspections before being taken to a palace.
This palace is not big!
Lin Cheng looked up and saw a middle-aged man in casual clothes sitting high up, looking at him carefully.
This is the emperor of Zhaoyan.
Lin Cheng thought to himself.
On the left side of the emperor, the imperial concubine and Princess Yunyao sat, while on the right side sat a graceful woman wearing a phoenix costume.
now.
Everyone's eyes were on Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng felt a little oppressed, and he quickly saluted and said, "I have met the Emperor, the Queen, the Imperial Concubine, and Princess Yunyao."
"Wait a minute."
Princess Yunzhi rushed over and glanced at Lin Cheng: "Where's me?"
