In a spacious hall, Lin Han was sitting on a chair. The door opened.
The entrance has three floors inside and three floors outside, and is surrounded by many high-level officials of the Xu family. It is obvious that the "lonely senior" came to the Xu family and caused a sensation.
Some of the Xu family's juniors even climbed up and took a peek, making the atmosphere extremely hot."
Senior Lonely, I wonder why you came to our Xu family?" Xu Zhengxiong personally handed a cup of tea to him and asked with a slightly embarrassed smile.
Lin Han smiled faintly and said casually: "How long has the Xu family been thriving in the imperial dynasty?"
Going back to seniors, it has been more than three hundred years since my ancestor, Xuanzu, came to the Imperial City and founded the Tianbao Hall." Xu Zhengxiong replied. "
How has the royal family treated you over the past three hundred years?" Lin Han said calmly. "
Very good." Xu Zhengxiong replied. This is true.
"But you guys don't seem to be honest about the royal family." Lin Han smiled faintly, looked at the Xu family members outside the door and said, "I came here today to remind you that the royal family is no longer what it used to be. If the Xu family is no longer what it used to be,
If you continue to have a stalemate with the royal family like this, you will only bring about your own destruction. Do you understand what I mean?"
As soon as these words came out, many old people felt nervous. The royal family had recently unified 90% of the territory in the eastern region, which really shocked the Xu family.
Since the Xu family has a strong character and is unwilling to curry favor with the royal family, their current position is indeed somewhat awkward.
Xu Zhengxiong also felt that the matter was a bit serious and said with a smile: "Thank you, senior, for reminding us. We understand that the dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, and we will follow the situation closely..." "
Haha, now the royal family does have a use for the Xu family..." Lin Han said with a smile. He
I know that only by coming as a lonely master can I truly intimidate the Xu family.
Otherwise, a sixteen-year-old boy who comes as the crown prince will be of little use."
Oh?" Xu Zhengxiong asked curiously. "
I had an old relationship with the royal family back then, and today I am here to repay their favor. This is a process drawing for the Shendan cannon shells. The only one the dynasty has the ability to produce is your Xu family. I am here today just to trouble your Xu family.
, produce a large number of these artillery shells and contribute to the dynasty..." Lin Han took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said. Xu
Zhengxiong glanced at the blueprint, hesitated, and said: "We can indeed make these cannonballs, but... if we help the royal family to make a large number of cannonballs, if one day the royal family has all its weapons and can deal with our Xu family, wouldn't we,
At the beginning, the Legalists, the Yanshen Sect, and the Xu Family were the three major forces in the dynasty, and they were all vaguely comparable to the royal family. However, with the rise of Lin Han, he helped the emperor find out the collusion between the Legalists and the orc tribe at the Dragon Hunting Conference.
The evidence led to the collapse of the Fa family. The Yanshen Sect was also completely loyal to the royal family because of the shock of the lonely senior in front of them. Now they are the only ones left with the Xu family whose attitude is unclear. As a result, they cannot guess the emperor's intentions, and the family
Most of the swordsmiths in the family are a little arrogant, so they are stuck there. If they really help the royal family to refine a large number of cannonballs for the divine elixir cannon, making the royal family more powerful, and finally turn around to deal with the Xu family, it will be a move.
It's just a stone to shoot himself in the foot. It's reasonable for him to have this hidden danger. Lin
Han frowned, Xu Zhengxiong thought well. Back then, the Xu family was proud of their merits, which indeed made many people in the royal family unhappy. Now that the royal family has grown, many officials in the court have recently warned their father about their intentions to deal with the Xu family, but his father
The emperor put the overall situation first and suppressed the matter. Then he said calmly: "Then how can I make you believe that as long as you serve the royal family wholeheartedly, the royal family will not do anything to your Xu family?" Xu
Zhengxiong glanced at the mysterious lonely senior, coughed, and squeezed out a smile on his face: "My daughter once had an engagement with the prince Lin Han. If senior can help to say a few words about it and let them reunite, we will marry the royal family.
Being a family naturally eliminates this worry."
Xu Pingting couldn't help but blush and lowered her head.
Tie Zhui's eyes widened in an instant and he shouted: "That can't be done. Pingting is my wife. How can she marry that bastard Lin Han? I don't accept it."
Shut up..." Xu Pingting glared at him and scolded Zhu.
Iron Hammer shrank his neck angrily.
Hearing this, Lin Han couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth under his bamboo hat. He didn't expect that Xu Zhengxiong was still thinking about this matter. He is such an old fox. Naturally, he didn't want to marry Xu Pingting. He couldn't help but smile lightly: "
Haha, fate has its destiny to come together and fall apart. Since you have missed some scenery, don't force it anymore. I am just doing a trip for the royal family because of some old friendships, and other things will not get involved."
Then... forgive us, the Xu family... for being unable to obey our orders. For the sake of the future of the whole family, we have to take precautions. Please understand, senior." Xu Zhengxiong could only say bitterly.
Lin Han frowned and said, "Aren't you afraid that the royal family will use force against you?"
We have long expected that such a day would come and have been prepared." Xu Zhengxiong smiled sadly. Even if his family was ruined, he did not want to help the royal family become stronger and end up killing himself. Lin
Han tapped his fingers on the table, as if thinking of a solution.
Xu Zhengxiong was a little uneasy when he saw that the master of the Heaven and Human Realm was silent, for fear of making him unhappy, and then suddenly laughed and said: "Senior, it's not like there is no other room for return..." "
Oh, what room?" Lin Han asked.
"Senior, what do you think of Pingting's bones?" Xu Zhengxiong suddenly smiled. "
He has excellent bones and extremely high understanding. He is a rare and good seedling, what?" Lin Han nodded.
"Haha, if senior doesn't dislike her and accepts Pingting as a disciple, then our Xu family can help the royal family refine cannonballs," Xu Zhengxiong said with a smile.
The eyes of the Xu family's senior management all brightened up, and they secretly sighed that they were careful. In this way, the Xu family can be tied to this senior, and the Xu family will have an extra layer of protection. Naturally, the royal family will not dare to take advantage of the Xu family at will in the future. What if?
Considering the strength of this lonely senior, Xu Pingting would have endless benefits from worshiping him as her teacher.
This can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
"Accept her as a disciple?" Lin Han was stunned. He didn't expect Xu Zhengxiong to offer such a condition. His identity as an expert was just a pretense. With his current level, he was far from being able to become a human teacher.
He couldn't help but darken his tone, and snorted coldly: "Young man Xu, you are so scheming, you actually paid attention to me!" Xu
Zhengxiong had some sweat on his forehead and said with a smile: "Senior, please understand, for the sake of the safety of our Xu family, we have to do this."
Then he cast a look at Xu Pingting. Xu Pingting nodded understandingly and said with a smile: "Yes, senior Lonely, just accept me as your disciple. Pingting will definitely be filial to you."
Seeing this scene, Lin Han frowned slightly, and understood that the Xu family had already risked their lives. If they didn't agree, it was indeed impossible for the Xu family to help the royal family refine cannonballs. After some hesitation, he decided to agree first.
, the top priority now is to let the Xu family help the royal family refine cannonballs.
After all, this is the key to my father's ability to successfully break through the realm of heaven and humanity!
If some other unscrupulous people in the eastern region broke into the palace and delayed my father's breakthrough, the loss would be too great.
As for the rest, we can only take one step first and see what happens next.
At this point, Lin Han only nodded and said: "In that case, I will make an exception and accept Xu Pingting as my disciple. But first, I often travel around the world and am not within the dynasty. The opportunity to guide her is limited.
Not much." Xu
When Pingting heard that Master Dugu was willing to accept her as a disciple, her pretty face suddenly lit up, and she half-knelt down with a smile: "It's okay, my disciple Pingting, I have met the master."
The senior members of his Xu family were all excited and grinning from ear to ear. They were very excited and happy. Oh my God, this is the only known peerless expert in the Heavenly Realm in the eastern region of the world. Pingting can be accepted as a disciple.
, it is really a great blessing. Moreover, because of this relationship, the Xu family will be blessed by an expert in the realm of heaven and man. They all feel that a great good thing has happened to the Xu family today, making them feel like they are dreaming.
.
Of course, if they were told that the real master of this lonely senior was Lin Han, I don’t know what kind of expression they would have on their faces. This
Xu Zhengxiong seemed to have thought of something and whispered a few words into Xu Pingting's ear. When Xu Pingting heard this, her eyes lit up and she nodded.
"Master, you have finally come to our Xu family. Let Pingting take you for a walk around the Xu family. Our Xu family has a nice scenery. If you come to the Imperial City in the future, you can stay here." Xu Pingting
He came up and hugged Lin Han's arm affectionately, and said with a sweet smile. Lin
Han was about to refuse, but then he thought, since he accepted someone as his apprentice, it would not be appropriate for him to immediately slap his ass and leave as a master. After a moment of hesitation, he could only nod his head and agree.
At that moment, Xu Pingting took Lin Han's arm affectionately and walked out of the hall and walked to the courtyard of the Xu family.
"What did you say in Pingting's ear?" an old man asked doubtfully.
Xu Zhengxiong smiled and said: "I asked Pingting to take the opportunity to take Senior Lonely to the "Immortal Phoenix Cliff" in the back mountain to have a look. There is a set of Immortal Phoenix secrets there. We have never been able to see it. Senior Lonely has extraordinary eyesight and said
Maybe I can give some advice to Pingting..."
"High!" An old man said excitedly, giving a thumbs up.
That Immortal Phoenix Cliff contains combat skills left by the ancestors of the Xu family, and is said to have earth-shaking power. Xu
Pingting brought this senior Dugu over to Ruopena. This is another great thing for the Xu family...
