When he came to the capital again, Lin Su's mentality was different from before.
When he first came to the capital, everything he saw was novel, like a country bumpkin entering the city. His vision and strength limited his thoughts. The second time he entered the city, other than the prosperity, he didn't feel anything different, and he established himself as a master of alchemy in one fell swoop.
The title. The third time, it feels no different from Liangzhou City or Anyang County City.
Zhou Jing reluctantly followed Ren Yue back. The old man's intimidation was still very effective. The majestic prince Zhou, your majesty's personally named Xiaoyao King, was as honest as a quail in front of the old man.
When people arrived in front of the city gate, a group of armored guards suddenly walked out. In the group, a man riding a strong black horse pulled the reins and said with a hearty smile: "Second brother, you are finally back. This time.
It’s only two years, but I will miss you so much.”
There is no need to guess the identity of this person. The only person who can call Zhou Jing his second brother is the current prince Zhou Ke.
Zhou Ke's words may not mean anything to other people's ears. They are chatting at home and relatives returning from a long journey. This is usually the case. But there is not so much family affection in the palace, especially when Zhou Yin makes a move to give up his throne.
.
There can only be one emperor in a dynasty, and whoever sits on that position will have no choice but to bow down and bow down. What Zhou Ke said just now is basically the same as asking why Zhou Jing came back.
Ren Yue got down from the chariot and Zhou Ke saluted solemnly. The former said: "Your Highness, I have been rude."
Zhou Ke immediately said: "My lord, please don't make fun of Xiao Wang. If my father knew that Xiao Wang was delaying your return to the city outside the city gate, a rebuke would be inevitable. This is Lin Su, whom my father often mentioned."
Young Master Lin, right?"
Lin Su secretly thought that it was a disaster, but he respectfully bowed to Zhou Ke as a Jianghu man, clasping his fists and bowing, "Lin Su, a common man, has met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Dismounting hastily, Zhou Ke took Lin Su's hand and said: "I have heard long ago that Lin Su, who is number one on the Tiger List, is such a master of Buddha Seal Boxing. Xiao Wang Xizhi has no chance to meet him. No matter what, he has to go to Xiao Wang's mansion today to sit down.
.”
The prince dismounted from his horse to greet him. This etiquette was very important. This was the so-called etiquette for a virtuous corporal. However, Lin Suwen was not a great Confucian and a martial artist. The prince treated him with this courtesy. It was too heavy.
Lin Su would not be pretentious and think that Prince Zhou Ke valued being No. 1 on the Tiger List. If Zhou Jing was not present, he would be grateful, but this move was obviously done for Zhou Jing to see.
He seemed to have been inadvertently involved in the whirlpool of heirloom.
Ren Yue said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your Majesty has ordered Lin Su to enter the palace immediately. Even if you want to talk to him by candlelight at night, you should wait until he has finished explaining to Your Majesty."
Zhou Ke patted his forehead lightly, "I forgot that Young Master Lin is a guest specially summoned by my father. In this case, Xiao Wang will not stop him."
No one dared to stop Duke Ren's chariot in the capital, so he drove straight in. He, Lin Su, and Zhou Jing walked to the front of Zhou Yin's study. The eunuchs informed him that they could enter after Zhou Yin's approval.
Zhou Yin was originally very happy when he heard that Ren Yue was back, but as soon as he saw Zhou Jing, his face dropped, "You are such a traitor, and you didn't even know you were coming back. I thought you had forgotten me as your father."
Zhou Jing did not dare to say anything. His father's scoldings were always caring. If one day Zhou Yin stopped scolding him, it would mean that he was extremely disappointed with him.
"I don't know why I went to see your mother and concubine first when I came back. Why are you wandering around here?" Zhou Yin said.
Zhou Jing, who obeyed Zhou Yin's words, immediately resigned. He said that he had not seen his mother and concubine for a long time, and it was a lie to say that he did not miss her.
Zhou Yin coughed and said, "Lin Su, you did a good job this time."
He was talking about Lin Su giving the token without hesitation.
Lin Su said: "I only know that any kindness must be repaid."
"You kid, you are such a slippery man." Zhou Yin laughed and scolded.
There was something that Lin Su never understood.
Marquis Wu's strength is considered to be top-notch among the many royal family and nobles. Except for a few old guys, he is probably unrivaled by no one. But for such a powerful character, how could Zhou Yin be reluctant to hand over even a token?
Zhou Yin waved his hand and said, "The great master of Taoism is almost getting sick from chanting your name. Talk to him more about alchemy. He has high regard for you. According to Zhou Fu's temperament, he will probably not remain silent.
Be careful, kid."
Lin Su was a little confused when he left the house. What should he be careful about? He gave him a token. Could it be that Marquis Wu could retaliate for kindness?
"Young Master Lin." Prince Zhou Ke was waiting at the door, which surprised Lin Su. The prince of a majestic country condescended to wait for him in the wilderness. If there was any suspicion that he had done it to Zhou Jing before, then now Zhou Jing is not here.
Who is he doing it for?
Could it be that the identity of the alchemy master has been exposed?
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Lin Su saluted.
Zhou Ke said: "Young Master Lin has finished his work. It's time to get together at the young prince's residence. I admire you very much."
Lin Su sighed inwardly. Zhou Ke's attitude did not allow anyone to refuse. He knew that this trip was unavoidable, so he held his hand and said, "Thanks to the invitation of His Highness the Crown Prince, Lin is a commoner. How can he be so virtuous and capable?"
Zhou Ke smiled and said: "Shaoxia Lin defeated Old Man Tianhuang's disciples at a young age and won the first place in the Tiger Ranking. You are a role model for the younger generation. My father often uses you to teach us. Please!"
"Your Highness, please."
The prince Zhou Ke oversees the country and holds great power. Everyone is optimistic about him taking the throne. Many ministers in the court have clearly expressed their support for the prince. Zhou Jing has a restless character and rarely stays in the palace or court in the past few years.
It is estimated that more than half of the ministers do not know each other, but they are very friendly with people from six doors in various places.
Except for Ren Yue, the Duke of Ren, and Zhou Fu, the Marquis of Wu, who had no interest in the government, the other ministers either supported Zhou Ke or were just on the sidelines, depending on the direction of the wind.
Lin Su guessed that if Zhou Ke's move would not cause conflicts between him and Zhou Jingzhong, it would be an attempt to win over Lin Su and divide Zhou Jing's influence in the six gates.
After entering the Prince's Mansion, Zhou Ke sat at the head table. The Crown Princess poured tea for Lin Su herself, which made Lin Su's calm heart a little suspicious. This was something strange.
Zhou Ke offered tea, and Lin Su could not remain indifferent. After taking a sip, Zhou Ke asked, "Young Master Lin, how do you like this tea?"
Lin Su said: "His Royal Highness, this question is asked to the wrong person. I am a rough guy who has studied martial arts for several years. When it comes to cultivation, I probably know a little bit, but when it comes to tea tasting, I don't dare to talk nonsense.
language."
This is a fact. Lin Su drinks tea just like a cow drinks water. Mr. Ren Yue even criticized it several times, but what's the use? Lin Su really can't pretend if he is asked to raise his orchid fingers and taste it carefully.
What is tea for? To quench thirst, just drink it.
Zhou Ke did not force anyone to do anything, and signaled the Crown Princess to step back, and said straight to the point: "Young Master Lin, I heard that you have the Two-faced Demon Order in your hand. I wonder if you can give one to Xiao Wang?"
Lin Su was relieved. It turned out that he came here for the key. This can explain why Tong Zhou Ke was so attentive. He clasped his fists and explained: "Your Highness, I'm really sorry. Although I have two keys, I have one."
Not long ago, it was given to Lord Wuhou, which disappointed His Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhou was speechless. He would never dare to reach out for the key given to Zhou Fu. Zhou Fu was his cousin, but he was also the person he least wanted to mess with. He could still use his status as the prince to make trouble for others, but Zhou Fu,
Unless your fists are stronger than his, you will get beaten in vain if you go to the emperor.
