"In this case, I should have nothing to do with you here. Please take care of yourself."
Take care, everyone, and see you again, you bastard.
Princess Xiyun wanted to say something else, but Lin Xiaodong pulled away and left.
In the next few days, the spies sent by Xu Zhengyang all reported that the Yaowu tribe had indeed retreated, and there was only a small amount of defense in the city.
Xu Zhengyang wrote a letter to the leader of the country, who replied a few days later and also withdrew his troops.
There will be no more war between the two clans, at least during Zhang Lanyue's reign.
Lin Xiaodong almost became the culprit of the war between the two clans. He narrowly escaped death and returned to Chong'an Village. Finally, a big stone fell to the ground and he could concentrate on practicing martial arts.
Until half a month later, in the afternoon, several officials came to the city.
Lin Xiaodong came to the courtyard to greet him: "Why are you here here?"
"Lin Duhu, the king personally summoned you to the palace."
What is supposed to come will always come. Lin Xiaodong nodded: "Okay, wait until I pack my bags."
After packing his things, Lin Xiaodong followed a few others and went to the Imperial City again.
A few days later, in the afternoon, Lin Xiaodong met the king in the study.
"Lin Xiaodong, a humble official, meets the king of the country."
The king shouted angrily with a cold face: "You are so brave! How dare you collude with foreigners?"
"Understanding one's duty and knowing one's guilt."
Lin Xiaodong lowered his head and cupped his hands, as if he had a clear mind. If you wanted to punish me, I would have been dead long ago. There is no need to wait until now.
"However, General Xu said in his letter that you, alone, defeated the demonic Wu tribe's millions of powerful soldiers and saved the people of the two tribes from the war. For now, the merits and demerits are equal to each other."
The king changed his tune.
"Thank you, Lord, for your extrajudicial mercy."
"Let me ask you, why did Zhang Lanyue retreat?"
The king asked sideways.
Lin Xiaodong handed over his hand: "For the sake of peace between the two races, it is better for the king not to know."
"If you don't tell me, do you think I won't know?"
He stood up and came to Lin Xiaodong's side. The king patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Did you light the holy fire?"
Lin Xiaodong sweated on his back and his eyes widened.
"The holy fire in the Holy Fire Temple may no longer be extinguished!"
"The King's Holy Ming!"
Lin Xiaodong lowered his head and cupped his hands, secretly shocked: "When it comes to mental skills, Zhang Lanyue is still far behind!"
The king rolled his eyes: "Since you didn't say anything, then you can be exempted from death but cannot escape from the crime of living. If you collude with foreigners, I will punish you and banish you for three thousand miles. Go to Linshao City to plant trees!"
"This... Your Majesty, I have also rescued the princess. Your Majesty is thinking of old friendship, so please be more generous!"
Lin Xiaodong guessed the emperor's intention and pretended to plead for mercy.
"snort!"
With a straight face, the king snorted coldly, closed his eyes and said: "Do you want to get away with it?
Okay, if you want to avoid punishment, you have to work as a coolie for me! Come and work in my court!"
The king still wants Lin Xiaodong to be used by him.
Lin Xiaodong pretended to decline: "Lin is very grateful for the kindness of the king, but I am a practitioner and of no use in the court!"
"There's no need to pretend to be confused with me. I have three provinces and six departments in the imperial court, and there's still no place for you to use it?"
I immediately order you to report to the Supervision Department, and you will stay in the Supervision Department and serve as a magistrate under Supervisor Mr. Li, responsible for strange cases, strange cases, and unsolved cases in various places!"
"This..." Lin Xiaodong said carefully.
"Either you stay here to run errands, or you go to Linshao City to plant trees!"
The king swung his sleeves and closed his eyes.
Gently shaking his head, Lin Xiaodong said helplessly: "I accept my order from my humble position!"
The king's anger turned into joy: "Go!"
"I resign from my humble position!"
As soon as Lin Xiaodong left, Princess Xiyun knocked on the door.
"Father, Lin Xiaodong, how should we deal with it?"
The king smiled lovingly and said: "Lin Xiaodong has great magical power, so we must keep him in the human race. Otherwise, if he is used by the Yaowu tribe, he will be in great trouble."
Princess Xiyun nodded solemnly.
"But you have to remember that this person can be used, but not trusted.
You did a good job in capturing Zhang Lanyue, but it's a pity that you didn't let Grand Master Wen go there in person, and it was too late to let the tiger go back to the mountain."
"Father, where is Lin Xiaodong now?"
The king suddenly clapped his hands and laughed: "I asked him to work as a coolie in the Supervision Department, specializing in investigating strange and unsolved cases, hahahahaha!"
Lin Xiaodong took the order and went to the Supervision Department to report. Supervision history Li Zhengcheng, Du Guanzhong Meng Liqiang, and Simon doctor Zhu Bowen were waiting in the lobby.
"Sir Li, gentlemen, Lin Xiaodong, who holds a humble position, has come to the Supervision Department to report on the orders of the country's leader."
Lin Xiaodong cupped his hands.
"Master Lin, please sit down quickly."
The princess hunted down the prince of the Yaowu clan, and Lin Xiaodong defeated millions of enemies. Only the parties involved knew about it. Li Zhengcheng and others did not know that Lin Xiaodong escaped from death. They only knew that he protected the princess to retrieve the fairy flower and saved the life of the king.
He was named the Protector of Yiluan, so he did not dare to neglect him at all.
Lin Xiaodong sat down, and Li Zhengcheng introduced a few people to each other, and then asked Lin Xiaodong: "Lin Protector, the Lord of the country has ordered you to investigate strange and unsolved cases. In the Supervision Department, all such cases are under the jurisdiction of the Chief Minister.
Your Excellency is responsible, so I want to wrong Lin Duhu and serve as an envoy under Mr. Zhu, how about that?"
Originally, with the title of Protector of Yiluan, Lin Xiaodong was at least on the same level as Zhu Bowen and Meng Liqiang, and could be a doctor. However, the king personally ordered Lin Xiaodong to run errands, so he could only be assigned the smallest official position. Li Zhengcheng was puzzled.
You can only obey your orders.
How could Lin Xiaodong not obey? He handed over his hand and said: "Lin has no experience in investigating cases. Please forgive me!"
"Lin Duhu is humble. No one in the court knows that your lord's math skills are not inferior to those of Si Tianjian Liu. He single-handedly wiped out the remnants of the Wanfangzhai demon Wu clan. From now on, we will have to rely on you more for the unsolved cases in the bureau!"
I wish Bowen also gave up.
Li Zhengcheng suddenly remembered something and said, "Is there any progress in the missing persons case in Song'an City?"
Meng Liqiang shook his head: "Sir, I don't have a clue yet."
"It's just in time to take Lin Duhu there to get familiar with the work of our Supervision Department!"
Lin Xiaodong curled his lips and thought to himself: "Good guy, he came to life on the first day he took office!"
After a few chats, Lin Xiaodong returned to the guest house and prepared to leave the next day, rushing to Song'an City with Zhu Bowen and others.
In the evening, just after dinner, someone knocked on the door. Lin Xiaodong already knew who it was. When he opened the door, he was filled with jewels and jewels. It was indeed Princess Xiyun.
"I've met the palace master."
"You came to the Imperial City and didn't even come to see me?"
Lin Xiaodong closed his eyes and pursed his lips, saying unhappily: "I'm busy with business, I'm leaving tomorrow, I don't have time to see the princess, please don't blame the princess."
"Leaving tomorrow?"
Princess Xiyun was a little disappointed.
Lin Xiaodong spread his hands: "The king said that I should either handle the case or plant trees."
Covering her mouth and laughing, Princess Xiyun squinted and said, "Go plant a tree, it suits you!"
"I still have to be exiled for three thousand miles!"
Lin Xiaodong crossed his arms.
Entering the room and sitting down at the table, Princess Xiyun said: "Just be satisfied, if someone else had let the prince of the Yaowu clan go, it would definitely be a death sentence for the Nine clans, and even Luzhu and the others would be implicated by you.
"
"Yes, thank you princess and the king for showing mercy beyond the law."
