Alien Lord

Lin Ze believed that if he said that, even if Lin Renquan didn't beat him to death, he would lock him up for a few days.

Therefore, Lin Ze hesitated for a long time before finally choking out a sentence: "Grandpa, don't worry, the boy's injury has already healed, and now the boy is refreshed and refreshed, and he will never lose face, Grandpa." of."

Lin Renquan nodded in satisfaction. Looking at Lin Ze's current appearance, he also knew that Lin Ze was fine. Therefore, Lin Renquan immediately asked Lin Ze to enter the palace with him.

Lin Renquan took Lin Ze along and explained to him the official positions, preferences, temperament, and positions of the ministers in the court. Lin Renquan did so in detail, and he was indeed preparing to train Lin Ze as his only descendant.

Suddenly, Lin Renquan, who was still introducing the minister, stopped, turned his head and said to Lin Ze beside him, "Xuan'er, you are in trouble, and you can't avoid it this time."

Lin Ze was stunned, looked up, and found that not far in front of him, a gentleman in brocade robes in his thirties was striding towards them, and he was very imposing.

This person, Lin Ze, had met once before on the Yanwu University campus, but at that time he was sitting behind Yuanwu Emperor Yan Hao, and he knew at a glance that he must be a relative of the emperor.

Perhaps this person's status is extremely precious to the ninth-level people in the Chu Kingdom, and he will flatter him in words and actions, but Lin Ze doesn't care in his heart.

Whether you are a relative of the emperor or a prince, Lin Ze doesn't care at all, if you really want to provoke Lin Ze, Lin Ze will kill him 100%.

If you use the words of modern people to describe Lin Ze's mentality, it is that he and these people are two parallel lines that do not intersect each other. What's more, now Lin Ze has been branded with the emperor's mark, so of course Lin Ze will not Go to these royal relatives and take the initiative to talk.

It's just that with Lin Renquan's current status, he seems to be very scrupulous about this person. Lin Ze knows in his heart that things are by no means that simple, and this person's status is definitely very high.

Sure enough, Lin Renquan's greeting at the next moment confirmed Lin Ze's guess.

"The old minister has seen His Highness the Seventh Highness." Lin Renquan waited for this person to approach him, and took the initiative to go forward and salute.

"The last general has met His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince." It turned out that this person was actually the Seventh Prince Yan Yucheng, and Lin Ze's heart shuddered.

He knew that the seventh prince was extremely hostile to him, and he wished he could kill him. Seeing the seventh prince now, Lin Ze was really surprised.

To be honest, Lin Ze doesn't seem to be friends with these princes, nor does he have any enemies with them.

The ancient history of China for thousands of years has fully demonstrated to the world the tragedy of the struggle for the throne. With these examples, Lin Ze really does not want to be involved in the vortex of the struggle for the throne, so whether it was on the road before or he After arriving in the capital, Lin Ze has been keeping a low profile, closing the gate of the camp tightly, except for the people of the Hou Mansion, generally no outsiders are seen.

Lin Ze did this in order not to get into the big trouble of fighting for the throne, but judging from the current situation, Lin Ze took it for granted.

Now that he has become a subject of Chu State and has such a powerful army in his hands, the battle for the throne of Chu State cannot be avoided by Lin Ze if he wants to.

Even, he has now become an extremely important part of the struggle for the throne of Chu State.

Because, as long as the prince has ambitions for the throne, he will not let go of the powerful army in Lin Ze's hands.

Although there is no saying in Chu State that political power comes from the barrel of a gun, in the mainland of China, martial arts are respected. Therefore, people here are more concerned about military power than in ancient China.

"There is no need to be too polite. Both of you are loyal ministers of the imperial court. You don't need to be so polite." Yan Yucheng said with a smile, and there was no hatred in his eyes when he looked at Lin Ze, but with a hint of appreciation, as if Lin Ze had inquired about it before. The message is wrong as well.

"What a hypocrite who can pretend!" Lin Ze muttered in his heart.

Seeing Yan Yucheng's appearance, Lin Ze knew that he was pretending.

Maybe Yan Yucheng thought that he would be deceived by the way he was pretending now, but Yan Yucheng never thought that their calculations had already been known by Lin Ze.

Lin Ze heard the conversations between Kong Yu and Yu's brothers in the garden through the Killer Bee. At the same time, Lin Ze really knew why Yan Yucheng hated him so much.

That's right, if I were Yan Yucheng, after learning that someone ruined my chance to ascend the throne of Chu, I would hate him and want to tear him to pieces.

Therefore, although Yan Yucheng greeted Lin Ze with a smile on his face, Lin Ze was still wary of Yan Yucheng in his heart.

At this moment, Lin Renquan replied, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Seventh Prince!"

Yan Yucheng nodded, and then, his eyes suddenly bypassed Lin Renquan, turned directly to Lin Ze and Xu Qiang and others beside him and said: "General Lin is really heroic, and the soldiers around him are even more brave. The battle on the square, the king admired it very much, with General Lin, the border of our Chu State will be more stable like Mount Tai in the future, this is all thanks to General Lin!"

"Thank you, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, for your compliment, I'm humble..." Lin Ze was about to say a few words of humility when suddenly, a rough voice mixed with a hint of arrogance interrupted him.

"The Seventh Emperor is not waiting for the father in the hall, what are you doing here?"

Lin Ze looked up and saw a young man in his thirties standing on the high steps and speaking to them.

This person is somewhat similar to the Seventh Prince Yan Yucheng in both appearance and clothing. The only difference is that this person is older than Yan Yucheng. Therefore, Lin Ze guessed that the two should be brothers of the same clan. .

"Brother, my younger brother is just out for a stroll, but I have taught my elder brother to think about it." Yan Yucheng nodded to the young man and said with a smile.

As soon as Lin Ze heard this, he knew that the person in front of him was His Highness Yan Yubin, one of the other protagonists competing with the Seventh Prince.

Seeing the eldest prince Yan Yubin appearing here, Lin Renquan, Lin Ze and the others immediately saluted to see His Highness again, and then in order to avoid an even more embarrassing atmosphere, Lin Renquan said first: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is coming soon, we should enter the hall first and wait for you." Bar."

"Well, okay!" The two princes agreed with Lin Renquan's decision very much, but for some reason, Lin Ze subconsciously felt a little dissatisfaction in their hearts. Lin Ze believed in his hunch.

"It seems that the display of strength on the Yanwu Square before has indeed played a role. No, these two princes have come here to befriend me in person!" Lin Ze felt very sorry for himself for not holding back on the Yanwu Square before. Decided to be proud, if there was no scene on Yanwu Square, Lin Ze would not be treated by the two princes who came out to greet him in person.

Soon, several people entered the hall.

At this time, several ministers from the court had already arrived, met Lin Renquan and others, and went forward to greet them at the same time.

The two princes beside Lin Ze also showed an appearance of getting along with each other in harmony. They were also very skilled and warmly greeted the ministers around them.

If Lin Ze hadn't known that the two of them had been fighting secretly, he would have thought they were good brothers.

It's just that Lin Ze is the most eye-catching person in the court now. Although Lin Ze is just a general soldier, his rank is much lower than that of the people here, but as long as anyone understands it, Lin Ze Ze's official title is only temporary. After this court meeting is over, Lin Ze's official title will be promoted like a rocket. Maybe becoming a second-rank general is not a problem.

What's more, just relying on the fighting soldiers at the previous martial arts conference, even the powerful city guards, and Yu Jie personally played, it was easier to defeat. Such strength made Lin Ze feel in the hearts of these courtiers. The status has risen rapidly.

In the impression of these dignitaries, Lin Ze is no longer an immature 18-year-old youth, but a young talent with real talents, wisdom and courage.

With such a powerful army in hand, Lin Ze is already qualified to play on the chessboard.

As for whether he is qualified to become a chess player, it depends on his future performance.

From the corner of Yan Yucheng's eyes, he has been paying attention to Lin Ze. To be honest, Yan Yucheng really wants to kill Lin Ze directly in his heart. However, the performance of Lin Ze's army on the Yanwu Square is not for Yan Yucheng. Don't let go of the hatred for Lin Ze in my heart.

The combat power of Lin Ze's army is too strong. If Yan Yucheng can get Lin Ze's support, then the possibility of him ascending to the throne is higher than the possibility of the previous Confucian plan.

Although Yan Yucheng has never heard of the saying that power grows out of the barrel of a gun, he understands that as long as he has an extremely powerful army in his hands, no matter how high the reputation and status are in the court, the other princes will be In the end, the throne of Chu is still his, because he has military power and can threaten the lives of those princes at any time.

Just because of these thoughts, although Yan Yucheng still hated Lin Ze for ruining his plan, Yan Yucheng still had to temporarily let go of his hatred for Lin Ze in his heart, and even came to recruit Lin Ze himself, hoping to be able to Increase the chips on the throne.

However, seeing Lin Ze's popularity among many ministers, and there are many other princes among them, Yan Yucheng knew in his heart that it would be extremely difficult for him to recruit Lin Ze.

"I can't go on like this. Now Lin Lixuan's foundation in the court is still very weak. I have to take this opportunity to kill Lin Ze's spirit, so that I can recruit Lin Lixuan more easily in the future, so... ..." Yan Yucheng had an idea in his heart...
