Lin Zhihuang laughed loudly, maybe because it was already midnight, his thoughts were unavoidable and he was a little drifting, so he spoke more and more casually: "That's why Congyuan is so powerful. It's really a great honor to have you take care of me. It's not in vain that I wanted to do this for you."

I have put so much thought into you to accept you as my subordinate. Haha!"

Sui Bian Hong was speechless for a long time, and then said: "...Master, that is not a good memory."

The situation when his hands were tied and he was forced to accompany Lin Zhihuang day and night while being extremely ignored was really not a good situation. Now that Sui Bianhong thinks about that past event, he is still depressed.

Others being conquered by the lord are all exciting and beautiful memories, but for him...it is oppression and persecution...it is full of joy and sorrow.

Lin Zhihuang stopped laughing immediately and realized that he had said something wrong. He raised his hand and touched his nose in embarrassment, and quickly went back to make up for it: "It is said that we don't know each other without fighting... Ha... Ha..."

Uh... I got a little carried away.

Sui Bianhong lowered his eyes and looked at Lin Zhihuang, and couldn't help but accuse: "You tied up your subordinates and forced me to follow you, even giving you a chair. I was tired of standing, so I could only sit on the floor.

"The ground is so dirty, and sitting on the ground is unsightly. Sui Bianhong felt bad. He felt that this was an ironclad proof that he was a subordinate and did not deserve preferential treatment from his master.

Lin Zhihuang had a bad feeling and quickly changed the topic: "When I meet Lin Yangshu tomorrow, how can I ensure that among the Lin clan members left behind, the spies arranged by Lu Yundan are among them?"

Sui Bian's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly: "Master, please don't change the subject."

Lin Zhihuang smiled dryly: "I had no choice but to do it because I wanted to have you so much."

Sui Bianhong: ".........."

"Lord, there are some words that cannot be omitted." Sui Bianhong admonished expressionlessly.

Lin Zhihuang immediately changed his attitude and said, "I really want to have you as my slave."

"Forget it, it was all five years ago, so don't mention it." After saying this, Bian Hong was still a little depressed: "But among the lord and his subordinates, it seems that the lord only used his methods and attitude to conquer Bian Hong.

bad?"

After arriving, the subordinates will indeed compare their treatment with each other.

As the lord, Lin Zhihuang felt that this matter needed to be handled with caution.

Looking at the gloomy Sui Bianhong in front of him, Lin Zhihuang, who knew that he had made a mistake in his words, immediately decided to tell him a secret to appease his injustice: "Congyuan, cough...Actually, I, the Lord

When you are...it's really not bad...there are people who are treated even worse..."

He is still smart, steady and dignified, and never mentions the past.

Lin Zhihuang missed Congshen Haolai at this time.

Sui Bianhong naturally didn't believe it: "Who?"

"Smart..."

Sui Bian Hong raised his eyebrows, and a strange color flashed in his eyes: "Didn't you meet Cong Shen on the mountain when you were fleeing, and accidentally saved him? Cong Shen was so grateful that he became your master?"

Lin Zhihuang hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth to the top talents in order to appease him: "No, Cong Shen and Yun Lin were recaptured by force by my Lord."

Suibian Hong's eyes flashed with light, but his lips pursed in disbelief.

Lin Zhihuang gritted his teeth and continued: "Really, you should have heard of Chiyun's magical power, right? Congshen and Yunlin were forced to live on the muddy ground by Chiyun, the king of the house. Compared with you, Congyuan

, but it’s a lot worse, and you’re really not the worst. Well, don’t think about the past anymore. When we first met, the situation was unpredictable, and the methods were inevitably a bit harsh. Congyuan, how about forgetting it? "

Sui Bian Hong raised the corners of his lips, obviously comforted by this secret, and said happily: "It turns out that the Lord has always been bad."

Lin Zhihuang was assassinated. What could he say? He could only blame himself for getting carried away for a moment. Seeing his subordinates who had been comforted, he slumped his shoulders in exhaustion and said: "It's already late today, so we're going to discuss the matter here.

Congyuan, please go back and have a rest."

Then Hong Yue asked in a loud voice: "Didn't my lord ask just now how to ensure that there will be Lu Yundan's spies among the Lin clan members who stay with you?"

Lin Zhihuang glanced at Sui Bianhong angrily: "As long as Lin Yangshu recommends me, he can stay with me as a member of the Lin clan. If that spy is even selected by the clan, he has the qualifications to recommend me."

If not, then it is really useless. How can it become a chess piece and be reused by my side to influence my decision-making?"

Sui Bianhong laughed in a low voice: "My lord, just now, you are indeed deliberately changing the topic."

Lin Zhihuang: "..." In fact, it is not a good thing for subordinates to be too smart, because they are too difficult to fool.

The next day, Lin Zhihuang met with Lin Yangshu, the head of the Lin family branch.

From the first moment he saw Lin Zhihuang, Lin Yangshu was certain that Lin Zhihuang was a man of clear mind and would never give preferential treatment to the Lin clan just because they were kin.

This realization made Lin Yangshu both happy and anxious.

What is gratifying is that such a superior person comes from the Lin family.

What worries me is, how will such a superior person arrange their Lin clan?

Lin Yangshu was thinking in his heart, but he respectfully saluted Lin Zhihuang on his face. After the ceremony, he expressed his intention to surrender directly.

Lin Zhihuang did not shirk anymore this time, but happily accepted the submission of Lin's branch clan and expressed his joy.

Seeing Lin Zhihuang accept the surrender, Lin Yangquan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and began to inquire vaguely about how Lin Zhihuang planned to arrange the people of the Lin clan who had surrendered.

Lin Zhihuang said with a smile: "In a few days, I will be ready to break camp and march forward. My third uncle recommends a few Lin clan members to help and retain my juniors."

This means that he is preparing to keep the Lin clan members around to cultivate his trusted followers.

Lin Yangshu was overjoyed when he heard this. He cupped his hands and said, "Yes. When the old man returns, he will arrange for someone to come to the Lord's side to assist him. Those who are useless will not be recommended."

Lin Zhihuang nodded and said: "Okay. This junior naturally trusts the vision of his third uncle."

Lin Yangshu saw that Lin Zhihuang always called himself a junior and had a friendly attitude, and his face became even more happy. He couldn't help but said: "If the Lin clan members recommended by the old man are not used, you can punish them. If you don't change after repeated admonitions, you will be dismissed from the official position.

There is no harm in returning it. Don't worry about the old man's face and spoil your important affairs."

When Lin Zhihuang heard this, the smile in his eyes became more serious: "Okay, I will follow what my third uncle said."

Lin Yangshu stroked his beard and nodded.

Lin Zhihuang and Lin Yangshu exchanged some pleasantries, and after looking at the right opportunity, he said: "Lixian County is the place where I have been deeply cultivated. How about you and the people you brought with you go and settle there? My father is here.

I will take care of things there at that time. If you take your clan members to Lixian County, you can also let dad settle down safely."

The smile on Lin Yangshu's face froze for a moment and he asked: "Master Fu, in addition to the important talents recommended to you by the old man, the other clan members of the Lin family who have come to join you this time are all very knowledgeable.

It can be put in place and used to meet your current talent needs."

Lin Zhihuang has just appeared in front of people and has not issued a recruitment order. Talents in the local area are limited and must be in urgent need. This is why Lin Yangshu hurried here.

Come here earlier to join forces and serve Emperor Lin Zhi. Under the situation that Emperor Lin Zhi is in short supply of talents, the positions and powers of Lin clan members should be higher when they are appointed as officials. After all, talents are not readily available.
