The news that Princess Jinyang was going to hold a martial arts competition to recruit a bride soon spread throughout the streets of Xuanjing. Within a few days, the entire Xuanjing was talking about it, and countless people were gearing up to show their faces in the martial arts competition.
, maybe I will be lucky enough to marry Emperor Xuan’s favorite princess?
In fact, the contest to recruit a bride has not only aroused discussion among many common people, many wealthy nobles in Xuanjing have also expressed their intention.
It's just that most of these nobles are thinking about defeating their opponents and marrying Jiang Zhixi. However, what the Lin family is thinking about is how to take this opportunity to kill Wang Qiang openly!
"Master, I have inquired clearly. The relationship between Wang Qiang and Princess Jinyang has always been unusual. He will definitely participate in this competition to recruit a bride!"
Lin Fu spoke decisively, and when he looked at Lin Chenghong, there was a hint of excitement in his eyes that could not be concealed.
"This is a good opportunity for us. If we can kill that Wang Qiang in a martial arts competition to find a bride, even His Majesty will not be able to blame him. After all, swords have no eyes, and casualties are inevitable."
After learning about the contest to recruit a bride, Lin Fu was very excited. On that day, Wang Qiang came to the door and slapped him in the face. This was definitely a great shame for a family like the Lin family.
Even though he was a housekeeper, Lin Fu hated Wang Qiang to the core.
Now that I have seized the opportunity, how can I let it pass easily, so I have been lobbying Lin Chenghong to take action.
But compared to Lin Fu's excitement, Lin Chenghong was a little pensive.
As the head of the Lin family for so many years, Lin Chenghong was very cunning after all. Judging from the fact that Emperor Xuan suddenly wanted to hold a martial arts competition to recruit a bride, he always felt that something was not right.
"Your Majesty has always been very fond of Princess Jinyang. How could he now hold a competition to recruit a bride for no reason? How can any royal princess choose a son-in-law in such a way? I think there must be a hidden secret in this matter."
Lin Chenghong's words are reasonable. Under the current circumstances, it is indeed easy for people to think elsewhere when such a thing suddenly pops up.
But could such a good opportunity be given up in vain?
You must know that Emperor Xuan's previous imperial edict has basically blocked the Lin family's way of causing trouble to Wang Qiang. For this reason, they can only start from the dark.
But Wang Qiang is also an old man. He doesn't give anyone a chance. These days, Lin Chenghong has been sulking in vain for several days, but there is nothing he can do.
On the one hand, there is the pain of losing a son, and on the other hand, there is the hatred of being slapped in the face. No one can understand the intense suffering Lin Chenghong is going through in his heart at this moment.
And just when he was lost in thought, Lin Fu found another way to get along with him.
"If the head of the family is afraid that this martial arts competition is a tactic, why don't we use our own people to kill Wang Qiang and secretly instruct others to do it?"
Lin Fu's words seemed to open a new door for Lin Chenghong, and his eyes immediately lit up.
"That makes sense. The person who killed Wang Qiang has nothing to do with us. Even His Majesty can't say much." The two communicated for a while and finally decided on a plan. With the help of outsiders, they would kill Wang Qiang through a martial arts competition to recruit a bride!
Once things are done, the rest is very simple.
Since we are looking for someone to kill Wang Qiang, the most important thing is who to find, so that everything can be guaranteed and the matter will not be leaked.
You must know that Wang Qiang is not an ordinary person after all. The person who can kill Lin Ting has the qualifications and talents that ordinary people cannot easily compete with.
Although Lin Chenghong always believed that his son Lin Ting was invincible among his peers, the reason why Wang Qiang was able to kill Lin Ting must have been through some trick or poison.
In a head-on confrontation, Lin Chenghong was confident that no one could beat his son.
But even so, Wang Qiang's strength can be regarded as the top among his peers. In this case, who should he find to kill him?
"What does the head of the family think about Gu Jiange?"
Lin Fu is indeed Lin Chenghong's confidant who has been with him for decades, and he hit the key point in just one sentence.
When Lin Chenghong heard the three words Gu Jiange, his eyes lit up and he immediately became interested. He even murmured to himself unconsciously: "If we can get Gu Jiange, the sword-wielding idiot, to take action, this can be done."
!”
It can be said that no one in Xuanjing knows who this Gu Jiange is. He is known as a swordsman, and his swordsmanship is superb and unpredictable.
When Lin Ting was in his heyday, he once fought against Gu Jiange, but in the end he only won half a move. Gu Jiange has become famous in Xuanjing and is almost as famous as Lin Ting.
If Gu Jiange can be invited this time, he will definitely be able to kill Wang Qiang in addition to a martial arts competition to recruit a bride!
And more importantly, Gu Jiange is about the same age as Lin Ting, so he can participate in martial arts competitions as his own identity to find a bride. In this way, it will be a perfect match, and there is no need to worry about Emperor Xuan coming to the Lin family again.
"Lin Fu, contact Gu Jiange and invite him secretly. I will discuss this matter with him alone!"
Lin Chenghong made the decision on the spot, and soon Lin Fu also left the mansion secretly, preparing to go looking for Gu Jiange.
Lin Chenghong took this matter very seriously. After all, it was a major matter to avenge the murder of his son, and there was absolutely no room for error. He wanted to meet Gu Jiange alone because he did not want any accidents to happen.
Whenever he thinks of Wang Qiang at this moment, Lin Chenghong feels that infinite anger is about to burst out from his heart.
He must not give up this opportunity to compete for a bride!
"Don't worry, I will soon make you regret living in this world. I want every inch of your flesh and blood to tremble!"
...
About two hours later, Lin Fu returned secretly from the back door. At this moment, he was wearing a black cloak and a huge hood on his head, and was accompanied by a similarly dressed person.
Along the way, under the guidance of Lin Fu, he deliberately avoided everyone in the house and went all the way to the inner house, where he met Lin Chenghong who had been waiting for a long time.
"Master, Gu Jiange is here."
Lin Fu pointed at a handsome man next to him who had just taken off his hood. At the same time, Lin Chenghong's eyes lit up.
"Nephew Gu Xian, do you know the purpose of calling you here this time?"
"Master Lin, no need to say anymore, I will take over the task of killing Wang Qiang!"
Gu Jiange was easier to talk to than Lin Chenghong thought. He agreed before he even said the conditions. This made Lin Chenghong confused for a while, and even wondered if all this was a trap?
It was obvious that Lin Chenghong was overthinking, but Gu Jiange explained calmly: "People in the world call me a swordsman. My biggest pursuit in life is the way of swordsmanship. My defeat at the hands of Lin Ting has always been a big regret in my life.
Having the opportunity to fight against the beings who have fought against Lin Ting this time is what I have wanted all my life!"
"I am very pleased that Nephew Gu Xian has this pursuit, but you have to know that this matter is extraordinary. What I want is to kill Wang Qiang, not to discuss with him. You must understand this, and once this matter is exposed,
Vent... I'm afraid it will be a disaster for you and me!"
Facing Lin Chenghong's provocation, Gu Jiange's answer was simple.
"Those who are defeated by my sword never survive. The Lin family leader does not need to worry about this. As for today's incident, I, Gu Jiange, will not say a single word to anyone!"
