Chapter 9 His year, I am your minister

"I've lost so much weight. It's really hard for you these years!"

As Tang Yuli spoke, she reached out and wiped the tears on Li Linxiang's face.

After crying for a while, the gloom in Li Linxiang's heart eased a little. She stood up and waved to Xiao Lin and asked him to come to him.

"Lin Er, come and meet your grandmother."

"Yes!"

Xiao Lin answered, knelt on one knee in front of Tang Yuli, and said respectfully, "Grandson, please say good to your grandmother!"

Tang Yuli looked at Xiao Lin up and down, took Xiao Lin's arm, helped him up, and sighed in a low voice, "Time flies. In a blink of an eye, you have grown so big."

"Ten years have passed, but my grandmother hasn't changed much."

"You are such a talker!"

replied with a smile, Tang Yuli pulled Xiao Lin to her right and sat down.

"Lin Xiang, you sit down, too."

"Yes!"

When Li Linxiang sat down on her left, Tang Yuli talked about something more than a decade ago.

Tang Yuli talked about the past for a while, paused for a moment, and then said, "After a while, my mother will persuade the emperor to give him an imperial edict to let your mother and son stay in Mingdu in the future."

Li Linchang was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "The name is a place of right and wrong. After this month, our mother and son will return to Qing'an."

"Don't you want to see your mother often?"

"If our mother and son stay in Mingdu, they will be regarded as thorns and thorns in many people' eyes, including the emperor and father."

Tang Yuli sighed, was silent for a while, and ordered the maids around her to get some desserts.

When several maids of honor brought desserts, Tang Yuli ordered people to wrap them up.

Seeing this, Li Linxiang took the initiative to say goodbye without waiting for Tang Yuli to speak.

Tang Yuli took a few words and asked the maid of honor to send Li Linxiang and Xiao Lin away.

Except for Yuxiu Palace, Li Linxiang had no intention of visiting Li Linchang and left the palace directly with Xiao Lin.

The road in Mingdu is very flat, but the sound of the wheels crushing on the ground is not small in Xiao Lin.

After about a tea time in the carriage, Xiao Lin suddenly said, "Mom, how did your grandmother treat you when your father was here?"

"When your father was there?"

Li Linxiang muttered to herself, and the loneliness on her face was even stronger.

Looking at Li Linxiang with a confused look in her eyes, Xiao Lin hesitated for a moment and did not disturb Li Linxiang again under the pressure of depression in his heart.

When he returned to Xiao's house with Li Linxiang, Xiao Lin left Xiao's house alone. While asking for directions, it took him more than two quarters to come to Fan Xiaojin's house.

Seeing Fan Xiaojin, Xiao Lin first thanked each other for yesterday's love, and then made it clear.

Fan Xiaojin dares to protect Xiao Lin and Li Linxiang from the city gate to the door of the inner palace. Of course, he will not refuse to help Xiao Lin buy some grain and some materials to repair Xiao's house.

After Fan Xiaojin agreed to his request, Xiao Lin did not stay with Fan Xiaojin much. He said a few polite words and left.

Of course, Fan Xiaojin's power in Mingdu is not as good as Bai Wenxuan, Huangfu Lifeng and others. However, in Mingdu, ordinary people will not offend him.

Before dark, Fan Xiaojin ordered someone to buy everything Xiao Lin needed and sent someone to Xiao's house.

With the things sent by Fan Xiaojin, Xiao Lin and a thousand bodyguards were busy until midnight and finally repaired Xiao's house.

After two days of calm in Xiao's house, Xiao Lin suddenly received an invitation from Li Qingqi.

Xiao Lin pondered for a moment, and then left Xiao's house with the bodyguard who sent the invitation.

After less than a long time, Xiao Lin came to the Qunying Building.

More than ten years ago, there was no such a group of heroic buildings in the famous capital; now, this group of heroic buildings is one of the most famous places in the famous capital.

The Qunying Building is 18 floors and 18 feet high. It is the tallest building in more than two miles nearby, and its height can also rank in the top five in the whole name.

This group of heroes building was built ten years ago. It was a 10-year-old birthday gift from Li Linchang to Li Qingqi.

The young generation is led by Li Qingqi, and their favorite place is this group of heroes.

Xiao Lin came to Qunying Building after receiving an invitation from Li Qingqi. However, when he came to Qunying Tower, he was blocked by the bodyguard guard at the door.

His face darkened slightly, and Xiao Lin looked at the accompanying bodyguard.

The bodyguard arched his hand slightly to Xiao Lin, stepped forward, and shouted at the guard guarding the door, "This is the Marquis of Pingyang, a guest invited by Your Highness. Why don't you get out of the way quickly?"

"It turned out to be Your Highness's guest!"

One of the bodyguards said such a unpleasant sentence, and gave a wince to the other bodyguards and made way for Xiao Lin to go in.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Lin walked into the Qunying Building.

The reason why Xiao Lin took Li Qingqi's invitation is not only because he doesn't want to offend Li Qingqi, but more importantly, he wants to know the current situation of Mingdu from the young generation of Mingdu. Of course, he will not flinch because of the difficulties.

Entering the Qunying Building, Xiao Lin walked up to the tenth floor alone before stopping.

The tenth floor is a martial arts arena. At this time, a pair of young men are playing swords on the martial arts arena, and more than 30 young people are sitting next to them talking and laughing while watching.

Xiao Lin glanced around and turned his eyes to the young man in purple he saw at the door of Yuxiu Palace the day before yesterday.

Looking at Xiao Lin, a light flashed in the eyes of the young man in purple, and he got up and stood up.

As soon as the young man in purple stood up, the two young men who were fighting the sword stopped the sword.

It is impossible for these people on the martial arts arena to hear Xiao Lin's footsteps upstairs. However, it was not until the young man in purple stood up that they looked at Xiao Lin together.

"Cousin!"

"Your Highness!"

Arching each other, Xiao Lin walked towards Li Qingqi step by step.

When Xiao Lin walked to Li Qingqi, the second young man on Li Qingqi's right hand winced and smiled at Xiao Lin and said, "Please sit down!"

"Thank you very much!"

Xiao Lin thanked him, glanced at the two young people on the left and right sides of Li Qingqi, and sat down on the chair pointed to by Li Qingqi.

When Xiao Lin sat down, Li Qingqi smiled at the two young men who had been compared with the sword before and said, "Luo Xi, Xingjian, go on!"

The two young men arched their hands to Li Qingqi, and then continued to compare swordsmanship.

Ding! Ding!

When the crisp sound of gold and iron sounded, Li Qingqi turned his head and asked Xiao Lin, "Cousin, my uncle is known as the sword master. You must have extraordinary achievements in kendo!"

Before Xiao Lin answered, the man in blue sitting between Xiao Lin and Li Qingqi interrupted and said with a smile, "Your Highness, have you forgotten? General Xiao has been missing since more than a decade ago!"

"Before my uncle lived in seclusion in the mountains, he should have left his swordsmanship that shocked the world to his cousin!"

Xiao Lin twitched the corners of his mouth a few times, smiled stiffly at Li Qingqi, and replied, "My father lived in seclusion in a hurry, but he left nothing."

"Real? Uncle's job is really wrong!"

After a pause, Li Qingqi told Xiao Lin the names of the young people present.

More than 30 young people present, without exception, are all the sons of a truly powerful family in Mingdu. Among them, the ones sitting on the left and right sides of Li Qingqi are Huangfu's Huangfu's family and Jingming Hou Chongsun Jing Chenhao.

When Li Qingqi told Xiao Lin the names of these young people, these young people just arched their hands to Li Qingqi, and even lacked interest in nodding and greeting Xiao Lin.

After a while, the two people who competed with the sword divided the winner. They came to Li Qingqi's side and said, "Your Highness, please give me some advice!"

"Uh-huh!"

Li Qingqi nodded, commented a few words, and asked everyone to comment.

In Xiao Lin's view, if the content of their discussion is changed from swordsmanship to government, this martial arts arena is a court, and Li Qingqi is the emperor of this dynasty.

After comments from the young people, Li Qingqi suddenly asked Xiao Lin, "Cousin, what do you think of their swordsmanship?"

"It's all good!"

"Are they all good?"

Li Qingqi smiled faintly and got up and said, "Cousin, let's have a competition."

Xiao Lin hesitated for a moment and got up and stood up.

The two walked to the middle position. Li Qingqi stretched out his hand to a young man, who threw the sword in his hand to Li Qingqi.

Xiao Lin knew that the young people present would not borrow his sword, so he took out a long sword from the mustard in his hand.

Seeing that a long sword suddenly appeared in Xiao Lin's hand, except for Li Qingqi, the faces of other young people present changed slightly.

Among all the people present, only Li Qingqi has a Xumi mustard in his hand, and others have heard of Xumi mustard, but they are unlikely to have a Xumi mustard in their whole life.

When they see that people they don't like have something they want but don't have, they naturally feel very uncomfortable.

Li Qingqi and Xiao Lin looked at each other for a moment and pulled out the long sword in their hands almost at the same time.

After waiting for a moment, Xiao Lin saw that Li Qingqi refused to make a move, so he stabbed a sword at Li Qingqi.

After Xiao Lin made a move, Li Qingqi attacked Xiao Lin one after another.

In the face of Li Qingqi's attack, Xiao Lin resisted and retreated. After a while, he retreated to the stairwell.

In terms of cultivation, Xiao Lin is similar to Li Qingqi; in terms of swordsmanship, although his talent in kendo is much worse than Xiao Yu, his current swordsmanship is not weaker than Li Qingqi.

Xiao Lin's performance is weak above the momentum.

In the cheers of the young people on the side, Li Qingqi stopped the offensive and threw the sword in his hand to the young man who gave him the sword before.

"Cousin, let's go to the top floor and have a look."

"Good!"

Xiao Lin answered and put the long sword in his hand into the mustard in his hand.

Li Qingqi turned around and said a few words to Huangfu Cheng and others, and then crossed Xiao Lin and walked up.

A faint light flashed in Xiao Lin's eyes, followed Xiao Lin across two steps.

Walking to the 18th floor, Li Qingqi opened the door and walked into a big room.

This big room is a little smaller than the martial arts arena below. In the middle, there is a platform more than two feet long and wide. There is a large sculpture on the table, with mountains, rivers, and cities.

"Do you know what this is?"

"I don't know!"

Li Qingqi opened a mechanism and ordered all the bamboo curtains in the room to roll up automatically. He walked to the window and said faintly, "This sculpture is called thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. It is the epitome of the whole world. It is a birthday gift I got from my father when I was 16 years old."

Xiao Lin took a look at the sculpture and walked slowly to Li Qingqi.

Standing by the window and looking out, Xiao Lin saw more than half of the famous capital.

"Do you know what your father is wrong?"

"I don't know!"

Li Qingqi turned around and stared at Xiao Lin with seizing eyes and said in a low voice word by word, "It's his fault that he doesn't know what a gentleman is. He is a king, and a minister is a minister. No matter how much I have made for you, this is my duty. Once I disobey your will, you can let me die. Do you understand?"

"If this word spreads, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of all loyal ministers!"

Thinking about it, Xiao Lin nodded and said in a low voice, "I understand!"

Li Qingqi nodded, stared out of the window, and said faintly, "As long as you understand what a king and minister is, in the future, if I am the emperor, you must be an important minister in front of the palace."
