- "You have lost so much weight and it has been really hard on you these past years!"
As Tang Yuli spoke, she reached out and wiped away the tears on Li Linxiang's face.
After crying for a while, the gloom in Li Linxiang's heart subsided a little. He stood up and waved to Xiao Lin, asking him to come to her.
"Lin'er, come here to meet your grandmother."
"yes!"
Xiao Lin responded, knelt on one knee in front of Tang Yuli, and said respectfully: "My grandson pays his respects to his grandmother!"
Tang Yuli looked Xiao Lin up and down, took Xiao Lin's arm, helped him up, and sighed in a low voice: "Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, you have grown so big."
"More than ten years have passed, but my grandmother has not changed much."
¡°You kid really knows how to talk!¡±
With a smile, Tang Yuli pulled Xiao Lin to her right and sat down.
"Lin Xiang, sit down too."
"yes!"
After Li Linxiang sat down on her left, Tang Yuli talked about something that happened more than ten years ago.
Tang Yuli talked about the past for a while, paused for a moment, and then said: "After a while, my mother will persuade the emperor to issue an imperial edict for you and your mother to stay in Mingdu from now on."
Li Linchang was silent for a while, shook his head and replied: "The city is a place of right and wrong. After this month, we, mother and son, will return to Qing'an."
"Don't you want to see me more often?"
"If we, mother and son, stay in Mingdu, we will be regarded as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh by many people, including the emperor and my father."
Tang Yuli sighed, was silent for a while, and asked the maid next to her to get some desserts.
After several palace maids brought the desserts, Tang Yuli ordered people to wrap them.
Seeing this, Li Linxiang took the initiative to say goodbye before Tang Yuli could speak.
Tang Yuli stayed for a few words, then asked the palace maid to send Li Linxiang and Xiao Lin away.
Except for Yuxiu Palace, Li Linxiang had no intention of visiting Li Linchang and left the palace directly with Xiao Lin.
The roads in Mingdu are very flat, but the sound of wheels hitting the ground is loud to Xiao Lin's ears.
After the carriage had been driving for about a tea time, Xiao Lin suddenly said: "Mom, how did grandma entertain you when dad was here?"
"When your father was here?"
Li Linxiang murmured to himself, the look of loneliness on his face getting stronger.
Looking at Li Linxiang with confusion in his eyes, Xiao Lin hesitated for a moment, suppressed the gloom in his heart, and did not bother Li Linxiang again.
After returning to Xiao Mansion with Li Linxiang, Xiao Lin left Xiao Mansion alone, asking for directions while walking. It took more than two quarters of an hour to arrive at Fan Xiaojin's house.
When he met Fan Xiaojin, Xiao Lin thanked him for the mutual affection yesterday, and then explained his purpose of coming.
Fan Xiaojin dared to protect Xiao Lin and Li Linxiang from the city gate to the entrance of the inner palace. Of course, he would not refuse to help Xiao Lin buy some food and materials to repair Xiao Mansion.
After Fan Xiaojin agreed to his request, Xiao Lin did not stay at Fan Xiaojin's place for long. He said a few polite words and left.
Fan Xiaojin¡¯s power in Mingdu is certainly not as powerful as Bai Wenxuan, Huangfu Lifeng and others, but in Mingdu, most people will not offend him.
Before it got dark, Fan Xiaojin ordered people to buy everything Xiao Lin needed and sent someone to deliver it to Xiao Mansion.
With the things Fan Xiaojin sent, Xiao Lin and a thousand guards worked until midnight, and finally repaired the Xiao Mansion.
After two peaceful days in Xiao Mansion, Xiao Lin suddenly received an invitation from Li Qingqi.
Xiao Lin thought for a moment, then followed the guard who sent the invitation and left the Xiao Mansion.
After walking for less than a stick of incense, Xiao Lin arrived at Qunying Tower.
¡°More than ten years ago, there was no such heroic tower in the famous capital; now, this heroic tower is one of the most famous places in the famous capital.
The Qunying Building has eighteen floors and a height of eighteen feet. It is the tallest building in the surrounding area for more than two miles, and its height can also be ranked among the top five in the entire city.
This Qunying Building was built ten years ago as a tenth birthday gift from Li Linchang to Li Qingqi.
The younger generation in Mingdu is headed by Li Qingqi, and their favorite place to come is the Qunying Building.
Xiao Lin came to Qunying Building after receiving Li Qingqi's invitation. However, when he arrived at Qunying Building, he was blocked by the guards guarding the door.
With a slight expression on his face, Xiao Lin looked at the accompanying guard.
The guard looked at Xiao LinweiHe slightly arched his hands, took a step forward, and shouted to the guard guarding the door: "This is Marquis Pingyang, a guest invited by His Highness, please get out of the way quickly."
"It turns out to be His Highness's guest!"
One of the guards said something that was not pleasant to the ears. He winked at the other guards and made way for Xiao Lin to enter.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Lin walked into Qunying Tower.
The reason why Xiao Lin accepted Li Qingqi's invitation was not only because he didn't want to offend Li Qingqi, but more importantly, he wanted to know the current situation of Mingdu from the younger generation of Mingdu. Of course, he would not shrink back because he was being made difficult.
After entering Qunying Tower, Xiao Lin walked up to the tenth floor alone before stopping.
The tenth floor is a martial arts arena. At this time, a pair of young men are competing with swords in the martial arts arena. There are more than thirty young men sitting next to them, talking, laughing and watching.
Xiao Lin glanced around and then focused on the young man in purple he saw at the entrance of Yuxiu Palace the day before yesterday.
Glancing at Xiao Lin, the purple-clothed young man's eyes flashed with light, and he stood up.
As soon as the young man in purple stood up, the two young men who were competing with each other stopped.
It is absolutely impossible for these people in the martial arts field not to hear Xiao Lin's footsteps going upstairs. However, it was not until the young man in purple stood up that they looked at Xiao Lin together.
"cousin!"
"Your Highness!"
They exchanged hands and Xiao Lin walked towards Li Qingqi step by step.
When Xiao Lin walked about ten feet in front of Li Qingqi, the second young man on Li Qingqi's right side winked and smiled at Xiao Lin: "Please sit down!"
"Thank you!"
Xiao Lin thanked him, casually glanced at the two young men on the left and right of Li Qingqi, walked to the chair pointed by Li Qingqi and sat down.
After Xiao Lin sat down, Li Qingqi smiled at the two young men who were competing with each other and said, "Luo Xi, Xingjian, keep going!"
The two young men bowed their hands to Li Qingqi, and then continued to compare swordsmanship.
Ding! Ding!
When the crisp sound of gold and iron mingled, Li Qingqi turned his head and asked Xiao Lin: "Cousin, my uncle is known as the Sword Master. You must have extraordinary attainments in the way of the sword!"
Before Xiao Lin answered, the man in blue sitting between Xiao Lin and Li Qingqi interrupted and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten, Your Highness? General Xiao disappeared more than ten years ago!"
"Before my uncle lived in seclusion in the mountains, he should have left his world-famous swordsmanship to his cousin!"
The corner of Xiao Lin's mouth twitched a few times, and he gave Li Qingqi a stiff smile and replied: "My father went into seclusion in a hurry, but he didn't leave anything behind."
"Really? What my uncle did was really wrong!"
After a pause, Li Qingqi told Xiao Lin the names of the young people present.
The more than thirty young men present were, without exception, all sons of truly powerful families in the famous capital. Among them, sitting on the left and right of Li Qingqi were Huangfu Cheng of the Huangfu family and Jingchenhao, the great-grandson of Marquis Jingming.
When Li Qingqi told Xiao Lin the names of these young people, these young people just bowed their hands to Li Qingqi and showed no interest in nodding and greeting Xiao Lin.
After a while, the two swordsmen determined the winner. They came to Li Qingqi together, raised their hands and said, "Please give me some advice, Your Highness!"
"Um!"
Li Qingqi nodded, commented a few words, and then asked everyone to comment.
In Xiao Lin's view, if the content of their discussion is changed from swordsmanship to government affairs, this martial arts arena is a court, and Li Qingqi is the emperor who heads the court.
After all the young people commented, Li Qingqi suddenly asked Xiao Lin: "Cousin, what do you think of their swordsmanship?"
"all good!"
"all good?"
Li Qingqi smiled lightly, stood up and said, "Cousin, let's compete."
Xiao Lin hesitated for a moment, then stood up.
The two of them walked to the middle position. Li Qingqi stretched out his hand to a young man, and the young man threw the long sword in his hand to Li Qingqi.
Xiao Lin knew that none of the young men present would lend him his sword, so he took out a long sword from the mustard seeds in his hand.
Seeing a long sword suddenly appeared in Xiao Lin's hand, except for Li Qingqi, the expressions of the other young people present changed slightly.
Among the people present, only Li Qingqi had a Sumeru mustard seed in his hand. Everyone else had also heard of the Sumeru mustard seed.M mustard seeds, but it is unlikely that they will have one Sumi mustard seed in their lifetime.
When they see that someone they despise has something they want but don¡¯t have, they naturally feel very uncomfortable.
Li Qingqi and Xiao Lin looked at each other for a moment, and almost simultaneously drew out the long swords in their hands.
After waiting for a moment, Xiao Lin saw that Li Qingqi refused to take action, so he stabbed Li Qingqi in vain.
After Xiao Lin made his move, Li Qingqi attacked Xiao Lin with one move after another.
Facing Li Qingqi¡¯s attack, Xiao Lin resisted and retreated, and after a while, he retreated to the stairs.
In terms of cultivation, Xiao Lin is about the same as Li Qingqi; in terms of swordsmanship, although his talent in swordsmanship is much worse than Xiao Yu's, his current swordsmanship is no weaker than that of Li Qingqi.
Xiao Lin's performance was weak because he was weaker than his momentum.
Amidst the cheers of the young people on the side, Li Qingqi stopped his offensive and threw the sword in his hand to the young man who gave him the sword before.
"Cousin, let's go to the top floor and have a look."
"good!"
Xiao Lin responded and put the long sword in his hand into the mustard seeds.
Li Qingqi turned around and said a few words to Huang Fucheng and others, then passed Xiao Lin and walked up.
A vague glint flashed in Xiao Lin's eyes, and he followed Xiao Lin two steps away.
Reaching the eighteenth floor, Li Qingqi opened the door and walked into a large room.
This big room is a little smaller than the martial arts arena below. There is a platform in the middle that is more than two feet long and wide. There is a large sculpture on the platform. There are mountains, rivers, and cities on the sculpture.
"Do you know what this is?"
"have no idea!"
Li Qingqi opened a mechanism to automatically roll up all the bamboo curtains in the room, walked to the window, and said lightly: "This sculpture is called Wanli Jiangshan. It is a microcosm of the entire world. It was received from my father when I was sixteen years old. Got a birthday present.¡±
Xiao Lin glanced at the sculpture and walked slowly to Li Qingqi.
Standing by the window and looking out, Xiao Lin saw most of the famous city.
"Do you know where your father went wrong?"
"have no idea!"
Li Qingqi turned around and stared at Xiao Lin with a captivating gaze, and said in a deep voice: "His mistake is that he does not know what a monarch and his ministers are. A monarch is a monarch, and a minister is a minister. No matter how much merit a minister has made for the emperor, this is all. It is the duty of the minister. Once the minister disobeys the king's wishes, the king can let the minister die. Do you understand?"
"If these words spread, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of all loyal ministers!"
Thinking about it, Xiao Lin nodded and said solemnly: "I understand!"
Li Qingqi nodded, stared out the window, and said calmly: "As long as you understand what a monarch and a minister are, in the future, if I become the emperor, you will definitely be an important minister in front of the palace."
