Qinghong took Sister Fei'er's portrait and immediately went out to make arrangements.
At this time, a gold-belted guard came in and reported to Lin Yi that Lu Ba from the Prime Minister's Mansion had invited him.
Lin Yi thought for a while and went to see the Prime Minister alone with Lu Ba without bringing anyone with him.
Lu Ba also pretended not to know the details of Lin Yi, and pretended that Lin Yi secretly helped Miao Xue had never happened. Lu Ba took Lin Yi to the courtyard.
After Lin Yi entered the house, Lu Ba closed the door from the outside.
There were only Lin Yi and Lu Xiang in the house.
Prime Minister Lu was sitting by the stove, brewing a pot of tea. There was a scent of tea in the warm room. Prime Minister Lu's face was also flushed by the fire.
Prime Minister Lu pointed to the chair opposite the stove and said, "Prince Lin, please sit down."
Lin Yi sat down. Prime Minister Lu knew the identity of the gold-masked guard, so Lin Yi no longer needed to wear the gold mask. Lin Yi took off the gold mask.
Prime Minister Lu picked up the teapot and poured Lin Yi a cup of hot tea himself.
Lin Yi took the tea with both hands and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister."
Prime Minister Lu said: "Try it and see how it goes."
Lin Yi smiled and said: "The aroma fills the room, it must be a rare good tea."
Prime Minister Lu said: "We haven't tried it yet, so it would be too early to draw conclusions."
Lin Yi brought the tea bowl to his mouth and took a sip.
As a result, the tea was beyond Lin Yi's expectation. It was so bitter and astringent that it was hard to swallow.
Prime Minister Lu poured himself another glass, then took a few sips and savored it carefully.
Lu Xiang said: "Others think this tea is unpleasant to drink, but it suits me. I like this tea and am addicted to it. So whatever suits me is good. If it doesn't suit me, no matter how good it is, it is not good. You say I
Is that right?"
Lin Yi took another sip and said with emotion: "The Prime Minister is right."
Prime Minister Lu looked at Lin Yi, his eyes still so unfathomable.
Prime Minister Lu said: "King Lin, you are a person who has experienced great storms. You are also a person who has led thousands of people. You are also a person who was personally pardoned by the former emperor and the new emperor. People like you are rare to see in a hundred years. So I won't tell you the truth.
Yes. Because you understand all the truths. I want to ask King Lin, what is the most talked about in the world?"
Lin Yi said: "Faith and righteousness."
Prime Minister Lu nodded and said, "Remember the deal you and I made. I let Zuo Chaoyang go, and you promised me to get rid of Feng Liancheng."
Lin Yi said: "I remember. Moreover, God knows and earth knows that I know that the prime minister knows, and no one knows about it. The emperor personally interrogated me back then, but I did not confess to the prime minister. I also take everything on myself."
Prime Minister Lu nodded affirmatively and said, "Because you are loyal."
Lin Yi said: "The prime minister is also a man of faith."
Prime Minister Lu said: "You promised me one thing back then, and it was my business. You didn't care about it, didn't care about it, but remember."
When Prime Minister Lu said this, Lin Yi suddenly seemed to understand what Prime Minister Lu meant.
Lin Yi knew that Prime Minister Lu was using Beigong Wuyang to do an extremely secretive thing.
That incident involved an extraordinary man.
Beigong Wuyang even said that the man was a wizard among wizards. This man's achievements in the future would be unparalleled.
Although Lin Yi was full of curiosity about this matter, he never delved into it because it was Prime Minister Lu's business and had nothing to do with him. Moreover, he had promised Beigong Wuyang and Prime Minister Lu.
Prime Minister Lu is worried that he will affect this matter.
Lin Yi said: "Of course I remember."
Prime Minister Lu nodded and said, "Just remember. I did what I said. I hope you can do what you said."
Lin Yi said: "Don't worry, Mr. Xiang, I will do it."
Then Prime Minister Lu sipped the bowl of bitter and astringent tea and said nothing more.
His eyes also turned to the burning fire.
I don't know what I'm thinking about.
When Lin Yi saw that Prime Minister Lu was still silent, he slowly tasted the tea that smelled fragrant but tasted extremely bitter.
Just like that, the two of them were silent, each sipping tea.
The room also became extremely quiet.
The sound of cold wind kept coming from outside.
It adds a different feeling to the atmosphere.
Lin Yi also tasted a different feeling from this tea.
After finishing the drink, Lin Yi poured another bowl himself.
Prime Minister Lu spoke and said: "Most people who drink this tea will never drink a second bowl."
Lin Yi said: "I'm addicted too."
Prime Minister Lu said: "It's really different."
I don't know if Mr. Lu's words mean that Lin Yi is different or that tea is different.
Lin Yi said: "It's indeed different."
I don't know if Lin Yi's words mean that the land phase is different or that the tea is different.
Then the two of them understood each other tacitly and smiled.
Prime Minister Lu said: "There is something else I want to tell you."
Lin Yi said: "Master Xiang, please speak."
Prime Minister Lu turned his attention to Lin Yi again, and said: "When you killed Feng Liancheng, you shocked the government and the public, and everyone in the south was implicated. Including Piaoling Island. At that time, the emperor was furious and ordered the navy to clear out Piaoling Island. So the general
Wei Chiyan led 30,000 navy troops and hundreds of warships to eliminate them. But I secretly asked General Wei Chi to let Piaoling Island go. Otherwise, there would be no Piaoling Island, and everyone on Piaoling Island would no longer exist..."
After hearing this, Lin Yi was really shocked.
He looked at Lu Xiang with an expression that was indescribable.
At that time, Lin Yi thought that it was Meimei and Zeng Tengyun's proper handling that saved Piaoling Island from the disaster.
It turned out that it was Prime Minister Lu who secretly helped Piao Ling Island escape the disaster.
Prime Minister Lu said: "If you don't believe it, you can ask Wei Chiyan. When you return to Piaoling Island in the future, you can also ask the goddess Empress. At that time, General Wei Chi went to the island in person and asked her to move to the island quickly..."
Of course Lin Yi believed what Xiang Lu said.
Because Mei Mei can testify about this matter, Prime Minister Lu will not lie to him.
Lin Yi stood up excitedly, his eyes seemed to be a little moist.
There are no words to describe how moved and grateful I am.
When he was able to save his life, Prime Minister Lu was indispensable. Now I know that Prime Minister Lu saved the entire Piao Ling Island. This is a great favor.
Otherwise, my beloved Meimei, my good brother Zeng Tengyun, my father, my daughter, Zuo Jingjing, Wei Jiangping and his wife, and everyone else, would all be doomed.
Lin Yi bowed his head towards Lu Xiang.
No one can make Lin Yi bend down easily.
Lin Yi bowed deeply to Prime Minister Lu.
Lin Yi said: "Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister! I will never be able to repay the kindness of Mr. Prime Minister even if I die."
Prime Minister Lu stood up and said, "There is no need for you to retaliate, as long as you abide by your faith."
Lin Yi said in a categorical tone: "Lin Yi will not hear, ask, or investigate the Prime Minister's affairs! If you betray your faith, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"
After hearing this, Prime Minister Lu sighed secretly.
Prime Minister Lu said: "I've drank the tea and said my words. You can go."
Now that Prime Minister Lu had given the "expulsion order", Lin Yi straightened up, looked deeply at Prime Minister Lu with grateful eyes, and then put his gold mask on his face.
Knowing the truth, Lin Yi felt emotional.
Lin Yi walked towards the door of the house.
Just when he was about to reach out and open the door, Prime Minister Lu spoke again.
"I don't want to be your friend, nor do I want to be your opponent. There is a saying that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. Let's just be friends between gentlemen."
