Done! Your Majesty is going to prostitute me for free!

"Why are you mute?" Lin Xiaofeng stared at him expressionlessly, with a hint of joking in his tone, "Are you hungry again?"

Wu Yizhan was so frightened that tears welled up in his eyes. He knelt down with a plop and kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic: "Misunderstanding, Mr. Lin, I really didn't know it was you, otherwise I would never dare to touch a hair of yours!"

"Tell me, who are you? And who ordered you?" Lin Xiaofeng asked, his tone revealing unquestionable majesty.

Wu Yizhuan felt extremely desperate. He looked at Lin Xiaofeng with pleading eyes, but there was no response from the other party. As if his bones had been removed, he collapsed on the ground and said feebly: "I am Wu Yizhan from the Sanshen Gang. Gu Chaofei asked me to attack you. But I really didn't know it was you, Mr. Lin. I Go find him to settle the score now!”

Lin Xiaofeng sneered and waved his hand: "I'll give you a stick of incense and go back as soon as possible. If you don't come back on time, I will ask the Jin Yiwei to find you tomorrow."

As if he had received an amnesty order, Wu Yizhuang kowtowed again to thank him, and then fled the scene as fast as he could. Looking at his embarrassed back, Lin Xiaofeng crossed his arms with a sneer on his face.

He turned around and looked at Fu Jiayi. Fu Jiayi felt terrified by his gaze and quickly turned her head away, not daring to look at him. She thinks this person is really scary! Suddenly, she didn't want to say a word to him.

"Jiayi, are you okay?" Lin Xiaofeng's voice suddenly became gentle and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, I'm going back first." After Fu Jiayi said that, she turned around and left. She had to leave this place quickly and relax. This Lin Xiaofeng is really scary!

"Wait, don't leave yet." Lin Xiaofeng stopped her, "Gu Chaofei won't let it go. Solve this matter in front of him to prevent him from scaring you again in the future."

Fu Jiayi hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and huddled in the corner to wait. After a long time, Wu Yizhuan still didn't come back. Fu Lingzhi walked over with an anxious look on her face, holding a lantern. Seeing Fu Jiayi and Lin Xiaofeng standing together, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Lin, why haven't you gone back yet? It's already dark." Fu Lingzhi asked doubtfully.

"You came just in time, let's wait together. No need to ask more, we will know in a moment." Lin Xiaofeng said with a smile. Although Fu Lingzhi was full of doubts, he still chose to remain silent. Not long after, Wu Yizhuan held Gu Chaofei's neck and ran to Lin Xiaofeng in a panic. Gu Chaofei was already sweating profusely. He was beaten by Wu Yizhuan along the way and was told the whole story. However, he still couldn't believe that the young man in civilian clothes in front of him was actually the legendary Lin Xiaofeng.

"Kneel down!" Wu Yichuan kicked Gu Chaofei's knee hard, and Gu Chaofei immediately knelt on the ground. The friends behind him were also frightened and at a loss.

"Wu Yizhuan should have told you who I am, right?" Lin Xiaofeng put his hands in his sleeves and asked with a smile. Although his tone was calm, it revealed an unquestionable majesty.

"You, you are a little gangster, you say you are Lin Xiaofeng and you are Lin Xiaofeng? What evidence do you have?" Although Gu Chaofei was frightened to the point of sweating, he still asked forcefully.

"Evidence?" Lin Xiaofeng curled his lips, "Luo Huajun, show him your Jinyiwei waistband." As he finished speaking, Luo Huajun shook the Jinyiwei waistband in his hand. Seeing the waistband representing Jin Yiwei, Gu Chaofei and his accomplices were frightened to death. At this moment, they no longer doubted Lin Xiaofeng's identity. Others were even more horrified, and they all knelt down and saluted: "I have met Mr. Lin." Seeing this scene, Lin Xiaofeng just smiled and said nothing. After a while, he slowly spoke: "Gu Chaofei, Miss Fu is a good friend of mine. I heard that you harassed her again and again. As a friend, of course I have to come forward to help." Although his voice was calm, it was Revealing a biting chill. Gu Chaofei and his accomplices were so frightened that they did not dare to speak out. Lin Xiaofeng continued: "I originally thought that if you kept your word today, this matter would be forgotten. But it seems that you are still dishonest." Hearing this, Gu Chaofei was even more frightened. He opened his mouth to say something, but found that he was too frightened to speak. His eyes flickered between Lin Xiaofeng and Fu Lingzhi, and his heart was filled with fear and panic. He never expected that the person he provoked was actually Lin Xiaofeng's daughter! This time I really hit the wall! If he had known her identity earlier, how dare he provoke her! How does it end now? Just as he was thinking about it, Lin Xiaofeng's gloomy voice rang out again: "Xiaogu, look at how generous you are today and gave you such an expensive pocket watch. With your father's salary, how can you afford it?" Hearing this After saying this, Gu Chaofei's body stiffened instantly. He couldn't speak clearly: "I, I, I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I don't know the relationship between you." Looking at Gu Chaofei's embarrassed look, Lin Xiaofeng just smiled coldly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's a matter of the past. But you shouldn't find someone to beat me and attack the imperial official. This is a serious crime! If this matter gets spread..."

"Xiao Gu, you don't want your father to lose his job, right?" Although Lin Xiaofeng's words were calm, they made Gu Chaofei tremble with fear. He kept begging for mercy with tears streaming down his face: "Mr. Lin, please! Whether you beat me or punish me, please don't tell my father!" Looking at Gu Chaofei's pitiful look, Fu Ling Zhi and Fu Jiayi couldn't bear to watch anymore. They turned their heads, their hearts filled with complicated feelings. Although Gu Chaofei was difficult to deal with before, he was still quite graceful. But now this ugly appearance is really unbearable to look at. However, this scene also reminded them of the previous scene when Lin Xiaofeng pretended to be a servant and stood up for them in Songfeng Bay. The scene was so similar, but the identities now were completely different. "Master Lin, please! You can punish me however you want, just don't tell my father!" Gu Chaofei continued to kowtow and beg for mercy, for fear that Lin Xiaofeng would regret it. Lin Xiaofeng looked up at the trembling people behind him, patted Gu Chaofei's shoulder, and said indifferently: "Your father is conscientious in the cabinet, just this time."

"Tomorrow you take your gang of bad friends to Beidali Temple to stay in the prison for two days. Then you don't need me to teach you what to do, right?"

"Yes, yes! I'll go tomorrow! I'll go tomorrow! Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your kindness!" Gu Chaofei frightened and kowtowed his thanks, fearing that Lin Xiaofeng would regret it. Lin Xiaofeng waved his hand and said, "You all can go, Wu Yizhan will stay." A group of people fled in a hurry. Wu Yichuan knelt on the ground with a grimace: "Mr. Lin, what do you want me to do?" Lin Xiaofeng asked calmly: "Is it true that the Sanshen Gang can't change its habit of eating shit? Can you still do the dirty work before?" Wu Yizhuan cried and shouted: "You are wronged! Mr. Lin, it is my fault that I went out to take private work, and it has nothing to do with the Sanshen Gang!"

"Why? Can't the Three Gods Gang support you?" Lin Xiaofeng continued to ask. "There are too many people joining the Sanshen Gang now, and they can't get any odd jobs. So I have a weird idea and want to make more money by going sideways. But I make money to help the lonely elderly people in Kyoto! I don't have enough points in the gang. He is about to be kicked out, Mr. Lin is aware of it!" Wu Yishuan explained with tears in his nose. But Lin Xiaofeng was unmoved: "Look at your size! Go back and tell Ma Laosan to kneel at the yamen gate of Beidali Temple for a day tomorrow! Otherwise, just wait for the Sanshen Gang to disband! Get out!" After everyone dispersed, The streets were calm again. Fu Lingzhi wanted to say something, but Lin Xiaofeng had already turned around and left with Luo Huajun. Looking at Lin Xiaofeng's back, Fu Lingzhi could only sigh quietly.

The matter was finally resolved, and the trouble caused by Fu Ling disappeared. The very next day, Ma Laosan's nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He took Wu Yishuan with him, and the two of them knelt in front of the Yamen of Beidali Temple, like two children who had made mistakes, and they were wearing heavy shackles. Those unruly guys from the Three Gods Gang have always given Lin Xiaofeng a headache. This time, they bribed a gangster to cause trouble, but Lin Xiaofeng caught them. But they went too far. They knelt in front of the yamen all day and even peed their pants. The urine splashed in front of the yamen, making passers-by shake their heads. Their faces were full of guilt and grievance, which was heartbreaking to see. Tongzhi and the deputy commander both relented and begged for mercy for them. Although Lin Xiaofeng originally wanted to punish them severely, he finally waved his hands and let them leave.

Gu Chaofei rushed into the prison with his friends full of grief and anger. Life there was really hard, with only one meal a day and often not enough to eat. But luckily, he met a kind jailer who would give them the remaining food. Once, he even tasted a delicious Japanese omakase, which was so delicious that it was simply unforgettable. After living in prison for a few days, Gu Chaofei not only learned to organize housekeeping and read Jingjiang Rules, but also sang "Grateful Heart" proficiently. After he was released from prison, he praised Lin Xiaofeng in front of his father Gu Jiaxing, fearing that his father would conflict with Lin Xiaofeng.

Gu Jiaxing got a son in old age and doted on Gu Chaofei. This time his son became so obedient after returning home, which moved him deeply. When he heard that his son was appreciated by Lin Xiaofeng and was taken to Jinyiwei to study for two days, he was even more ecstatic. So, he specially wrote a letter of thanks and sent it to the Lin family. However, Lin Xiaofeng had some worries in his heart. He was worried that his influence would be too great and would cause unnecessary trouble. Thus, the "black laundering operation" quietly began.

On the day when Lin Xiaofeng's son Lin Hongwan was one full moon, he sent out invitations and held a full moon reception at the princess's mansion. He specially put on a red robe and greeted the guests with a smile on his face. Whether it is a high-ranking official, a marquis, or a commoner, someone will stare at him as long as he sits down. There was a sea of ​​people inside and outside the princess's mansion, and countless people came here to admire it. However, what made Gu Jiaxing embarrassed was that the servant he gave as a gift loudly shouted, "Only one hundred taels", which made him want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Listening to the discussions of the people behind him and the howls of effort in the princess's palace, Gu Jiaxing looked at Lin Xiaofeng awkwardly, feeling a little at a loss. Who could have imagined this scene at the full moon reception held at the Princess Mansion? Lin Xiaofeng, Lin Xiaofeng, you really got into the eyes of money!
Gu Jiaxing walked in like a zombie, with a look of disbelief on his face. He probably never even dreamed that the jade ruyi and white flowers of a hundred taels of silver he brought with joy would be exchanged for a light vegetarian meal. Alas, when it comes to this matter, he can only blame himself for his negligence.

Li Dexian stood aside and couldn't stand it anymore. He had been following Lin Xiaofeng from the beginning, observing his every move. Lin Xiaofeng's shameless behavior made him feel very disgusted. Seeing that no one came forward, Li Dexian hurriedly pulled Lin Xiaofeng to a corner where there were few people, and asked: "Old Lin, are you short of money? If you are short of money, just tell me, you still have to have some face to live!" "I really can't stand it anymore!"

However, Lin Xiaofeng just smiled mysteriously: "Xiao Li, you don't understand this. I am making fun of myself." "Self-ridiculing? It's not so exaggerated, right?" Li Dexian twitched the corner of his mouth, Express not understanding.

Lin Xiaofeng said cheerfully: "I suddenly felt that my image among the people was too good, almost perfect. But this is actually not good, because perfect people must be hypocritical. So I wanted to create some flaws for myself , let people see a more real side of me. In this way, when future generations look at me, they will think that I am a flesh-and-blood, lovely and respectable person. And, if I get more money, Aren't they happy? Look at the ministers here today. Is there any family that doesn't have something festive to do? It's not like I don't have a gift in return, so it's not too much to take some money."

Li Dexian shook his head helplessly: "It seems that you are really shameless." "Humph, after today, I don't know how many officials will impeach you, and even the Sixth Ministry will publicly criticize you. With so much pressure from public opinion, can you Aren’t you annoyed?”

Lin Xiaofeng smiled: "The Sixth Department openly criticizes me? That's exactly what I want! Otherwise, why would the Beilang Daily pay attention to me? If my image is too perfect, how can I post in the famous quotes section in the future?" He said coldly He snorted and continued: "I have been impeached by them all year round, and I have long been used to it. I don't even look at their moral articles and Qi-nurturing skills. When I do well, they look down upon me; They don’t like it when it’s bad. Why should I cater to them? I just do what I think is right.”

Li Dexian thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Have you noticed that there are very few people coming to Dali Temple and the Cabinet today? Don't you think it's strange? His Majesty said he would come today, but he hasn't come yet. Do you think he will come? ?”

Li Dexian recalled for a while and said: "Oh, by the way, when I said hello in the morning, I heard that the Xixia Kingdom had sent letters of credence. In order to celebrate the trade ceremony between the two countries, they will send a delegation to visit. The leader of the delegation is the Sixth Prince of the Xixia Kingdom. ""My father may have gone to convene people to discuss this matter after he retired from the court, so he hasn't come yet."

"Oh?" Lin Xiaofeng nodded, lost in thought, "It's a bit strange. We have made a lot of money from trade these years. Why are they so enthusiastic about sending envoys? And they also send a prince to lead the delegation? What is the background of this person? ?"

Li Dexian thought about it and said, "Battle has seventeen sons." "Holy shit! So many? How could he be so fertile!" Lin Xiaofeng was amazed. "That's right!" Li Dexian also turned away with an angry look. He worked hard for so long to have a son while Barter gave birth to a bunch. I don’t know what magic pill Battle took to help her get pregnant.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't interrupt! Let's get down to business! The more famous among his sons are the eldest, the third, and the sixth. The second is not famous. I think his name is Tardali, right?" "Okay, okay. We Jin Yiwei will definitely have to receive them when the time comes. It will be troublesome if an arrogant and domineering guy comes." Lin Xiaofeng said thoughtfully. At this time, someone suddenly ran in and said, "The people in the Inspector's Office are so stingy. They only gave him fifty taels of silver!" "Damn it! You have the nerve to give out fifty taels of silver? It's really embarrassing! Come with me and humiliate him." Fan!" Lin Xiaofeng said angrily. So the two of them left together. In the Qinzheng Hall, all the important ministers gathered together. Emperor Jingjiang asked: "What do you think of Xixia's sudden mission to visit your family?" Hongcheng, the minister of Dali Temple, replied: "Your Majesty, I think there is no need to worry too much about this matter. In addition to the credentials, there is also Wuri. A letter written by Master Ge." He took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it over. "Although the Xixia Kingdom did not gain huge profits from this trade, it can be said that they exchanged what they had and got what they needed." "This trade is actually an expression of goodwill and a hope to further expand the product categories, and there is no other intention." "In addition, Wuri Ge also specially invited Mr. Lin to meet in the capital of Xixia Kingdom," Hong Cheng added. "Wurige? He specifically mentioned me?" Lin Xiaofeng asked in surprise. "That's right." Hong Cheng nodded and confirmed, "I wonder what your majesty thinks about this?" Emperor Jingjiang took the letter and looked at it carefully for a long time before he raised his head and said, "Lin Aiqing? This matter seems to be a bit overriding, right? Isn't it inappropriate for Wu Rige to invite him by name?" Hong Cheng explained: "His Majesty, the Sixth Prince of Xixia Kingdom sent people here this time, which shows his deep sincerity and grand courtesy!" "Although Lin! Your Excellency is not directly responsible for trade affairs, but when Urige visited our country before, we hit it off and had a good conversation with Mr. Lin." "This decision was made after considering this situation." "Not to mention the sixth prince Tardali. Although he is not valued by Battelle, his status is extremely high. If he sends only ordinary envoys, it will be disrespectful and will damage the reputation of our country." "I think that I can send capable officials to assist Mr. Lin in completing this mission. It's as easy as traveling around the world. "What's more, Mr. Lin's talent in business is far inferior to that of ordinary officials. I wonder what your Majesty has to say about this?"

Emperor Jingjiang nodded and looked at Bai Yongyuan: "Mr. Bai Ge, what do you think?" Bai Yongyuan bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, I think this is just a small matter and there is no need to make the court too nervous. In recent years, the exchanges between the two countries have Frequent, the relationship has become increasingly friendly. In the past, the relationship between the two countries was tense and there were often conflicts at the border. However, since the trade, there have been only occasional minor frictions. The heavy snowfall in Xixia last year did not violate our border, which shows its sincerity. "It's just a form of friendly exchanges. It doesn't matter who you send, as long as you are polite." "Do you all think so?" Emperor Jingjiang looked around and everyone nodded in agreement.

Emperor Jingjiang closed his eyes and thought, tapping the imperial case with his fingers: "Having said that, I always feel a little uneasy. The Xixia Kingdom's behavior in recent years has been quite strange. This time I took the initiative to show my kindness. I wonder if I am overly worried." "It's okay to send Lin Aiqing, but I still want to hear his opinion. After all, my grandson has just been born, and we can't let him not see his father for several months." "Speaking of which, today is my grandson's full moon!" A smile suddenly appeared on Emperor Jingjiang's face. "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" All ministers congratulated in unison. Emperor Jingjiang waved his hand: "Okay, let's stop here today. The Princess Mansion is holding a full-moon banquet. If you all rush there now, maybe it's still too late. We can discuss other matters after the Xixia delegation arrives in Kyoto."

"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and the tea cup hit the floor hard, with pieces flying everywhere. Emperor Jingjiang's eyes widened and he shouted angrily: "How could you be so crazy! Are you so short of money? At my lovely grandson's full moon banquet, you actually dared to openly make money, not only plundering the ministers , Even ordinary people are not spared. What are you thinking? "

Lin Xiaofeng stood in front of Emperor Jingjiang, his head lowered so much that it almost touched the ground, silent, like a child who made a mistake.

Just after the dynasty ended, he was sent to the Qianqing Palace and received such a scolding.

However, he had nothing to say. Originally, the full moon banquet was held very well.

Who would have thought that after being drunk, everyone would try to beat him up, and even the common people would start booing him.

When my father-in-law arrived in a hurry, the situation became chaotic and uncontrollable.

He really didn't expect that these people were so petty and would make endless noises just because there was no meat in the banquet.

The princess's mansion was in chaos, while people outside the mansion were busy cleaning up the mess, each doing their own thing.

Although his embarrassment has been exposed, at least his goal was achieved. Now, his reputation among the people may be ruined.

"Are you mute? Why don't you speak?" Emperor Jingjiang stared at Lin Xiaofeng angrily, with fire almost coming out of his eyes.

Lin Xiaofeng licked his dry lips and replied: "Your Majesty, the Royal Academy was built by imperial decree, but I paid for Beilang University. I invested a large amount of money in it, and money is really tight now. Again In addition, the emperor’s grandson is about to be one month old, so I want to give him a generous gift, so I want to make money quickly.”

"Stop fooling me!" Emperor Jingjiang glared at him fiercely, "You, Lin Xiaofeng, are short of money? Why don't you come to me if you need money?"

"I'm a thin-skinned person, look at all the good things you've done! Prince, show him the things!"

Wang Jingwen responded quickly and walked in with a palace guard carrying a large basket. The basket was filled with memorials like a mountain.

Emperor Jingjiang pointed to the pile of memorials and said, "Look at these! They were all impeached yesterday. You are really promising!"

"In all the years I have been on the throne, I have never seen anyone receive so many impeachments in one day. You are really a talent!"

Lin Xiaofeng secretly glanced at the memorial in the basket, then secretly glanced at Emperor Jingjiang, and saw that he was still angry.

So he said flatteringly: "Father~"

This "Father" made Emperor Jingjiang feel goosebumps all over his body, and he hurriedly interrupted him: "You... don't call me Father, I can't afford it. How can I have a good son-in-law like you?"

Lin Xiaofeng curled his lips in his heart, so what if he doesn't admit it? Didn't you hug my son happily yesterday?

"I'm so ashamed! In fact, I really want half of the gift I received this time to be used for the construction of Beiling University, and the other half to prepare for the emperor's grandson's full moon banquet."

"Yesterday we collected about..."

"How much did you collect?" Emperor Jingjiang asked curiously, obviously very interested in this number.

"More than 20,000 taels of silver were collected. The emperor's grandson got half of it, which is 13,621 taels." After saying that, Lin Xiaofeng took out the banknotes and some scattered silver from his sleeves. Put them neatly on the table, "I brought them all today. Your Majesty can put them into the inner treasury first, and regard them as gifts from me in advance."

Emperor Jingjiang looked at the messy banknotes and silver on the table and couldn't help but frowned: "When the Ministry of Accounts reports accounts to me, they are all in round numbers. Why do you always use these fragmentary amounts of money?"

"I really like to be careful with my calculations. A penny is money, and it's okay to not have clear accounts." Lin Xiaofeng explained.

"Well, this is indeed a good habit. If the accounting department can be as honest as you are, it can also reduce a lot of mistakes." Emperor Jingjiang nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, thank you very much." Lin Xiaofeng said humbly.

·································
He carefully observed the changes in Emperor Jingjiang's expression, and saw that his expression softened a little, and he felt a little calmer. It seems that the trick of sending money still works. Although the country became rich and robbed some wealthy families, the money rarely entered the internal treasury. The expenses of the palace are fixed and allocated from the treasury every year. Although the treasury was rich, it was difficult for Emperor Jingjiang to ask for money. Although Yangqu County had a share-sharing agreement with Emperor Jingjiang, it could only receive more than 20,000 taels of silver per year. For someone like him who is used to being "poor", this is already a huge amount of money.

Emperor Jingjiang waved his hand gently and Wang Jingwen immediately stepped forward and collected the banknotes and scattered silver on the table. "Forget it, you also have good intentions. I will save this money for the emperor and grandson first," he said.

Lin Xiaofeng immediately gave a thumbs up and praised: "Your Majesty is wise! The emperor's grandson is still young and does not know how to manage money. When he grows up, his money will definitely be quadrupled!"

"Very well, sit down! What do you look like standing there? I have other things to do with you today." Emperor Jingjiang pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for him to sit down.

Lin Xiaofeng forced out a flattering smile and sat down. "The Kingdom of Xixia sent an envoy to visit Xixia and the cabinet discussed it and decided to send someone back to visit Xixia to show friendship." Emperor Jingjiang said, "Yes, yes, yes! This should be done." Lin Xiaofeng nodded in agreement, "Does your Majesty want to send Jin Yiwei to Xixia?" He said asked tentatively.

"That's what I mean. After the Xixia delegation leaves, you will go back with them." Emperor Jingjiang replied.

"???" Lin Xiaofeng was shocked: "Your Majesty, that's not the case! I just held a full moon party! I have nothing to do with diplomacy, why did you send me there?" He asked doubtfully.

"This is an invitation written by Imperial Master Wurige to you personally. And considering that Xixia has sent a prince to visit our Jiang Dynasty in person, we cannot be rude. After much thought, I can't find a more suitable candidate than you. You are proficient in business. This trip is not only It is just a simple visit, but more importantly, it is to expand the list of trade goods between the two countries. But you don't have to worry, I will send someone to assist you if you don't want to participate in the specific affairs. That's it. Just go out and have fun." Emperor Jingjiang explained. "Besides, you are always very resourceful and can take the opportunity to learn more about the internal situation of the Xixia Palace."

"Don't you find it strange that His Majesty Xixia is visiting us? Why are they so active when they have no profit from trading with us?" Lin Xiaofeng raised his own question.

"I'm not sure. But Dali Temple analyzed that Xixia suffered a snowstorm last year and they should have lacked a lot of necessities, so they acted like this. But in any case, they don't have any ill intentions." Emperor Jingjiang replied, "Can I not go?" Lin Xiaofeng asked with a grimace. He really didn't want to leave the capital and go so far away.

"No!" Emperor Jingjiang sneered, taking out a memorial from the basket and slamming it on the table. "I originally wanted to ask for your opinion, but after seeing your performance yesterday, I think it's best for you to leave the capital to avoid the limelight. " he said.

Hey, I’ve tricked myself! Lin Xiaofeng was about to cry but had no tears. "Father, I have been wronged! I only collect money to do practical things." He defended but it was obviously not convincing. Because what happened yesterday was indeed that he went too far.

"This matter has been settled and there is no room for discussion. I asked you to make money, but you don't have to be so ugly, right? In order to organize a full-moon banquet for the child, you didn't even show your face. You invited the ministers to eat vegetarian food and still paid for it. People's money is really a wonderful idea." Emperor Jingjiang rubbed his brows and said helplessly, "I heard that there is a saying among the people that 'if you endure hardship for a lifetime, you should not be afraid of hardship for half a lifetime.' You should practice more while you are young, otherwise you will not be able to take on the responsibility in the future. Where is Da Ren? Go!" He finally said, obviously determined to let Lin Xiaofeng go to Xixia.

Lin Xiaofeng felt aggrieved and stepped out of the door. Alas, he sighed secretly, Lao Taishan was indeed superior in skills, but he saw through my original little plan and defeated my army. Master, I have embarrassed you.

Outside the door, Li Dexian was a little bored waiting. When he saw Lin Xiaofeng coming out, he immediately went up to him and asked curiously: "Did Father beat you?" Lin Xiaofeng glanced at him sideways and replied angrily: "No, that's not the case. , he flew up and almost tore my official uniform."

Hearing this, Li Dexian showed a gloating expression on his face: "Haha, you are here too! Have you experienced the days we had before?" Lin Xiaofeng told him: "I have to go on a far journey, and the emperor sent me to visit Xixia to express his gratitude. The two countries are friendly. I plan to go to Dali Temple to get some information first to see if there is any useful information.”

Li Dexian was puzzled: "What's worth going to a place like Dali Temple? We're not going to fight, so what's the use of going there?" Lin Xiaofeng was a little impatient: "I will go wherever the emperor tells me to go, there are so many reasons. And since I’m back in a few months, I’ll go to Dali Temple first to get a feel for it.”

When they arrived at Dali Temple, Dali Temple Qing Hongcheng was overjoyed to see Lin Xiaofeng and went out to greet them personally. Since the last incident, he has always been in awe of Lin Xiaofeng. Thinking back when Lu Shenshen's affair happened, he was almost implicated, thanks to Lin Xiaofeng's help. At yesterday's full moon banquet, he almost blatantly accepted bribes. Such crazy behavior is really untouchable!
Hong Cheng asked cautiously: "Mr. Lin, you are a rare visitor. Why do you come to my humble residence today?" Lin Xiaofeng said bluntly: "The Xixia delegation is coming soon, and we, the Jinyi Guards, should also do our best to be landlords. We came here specially to pay homage to Mr. Hong. Please tell me, what kind of person is the Sixth Prince? What is his character? I want to find out first to avoid improper reception." Then he said: "The emperor has decided that after the Xixia delegation's visit, I will return to Xixia with them. "

Hong Cheng asked in surprise: "Ah, His Majesty mentioned this matter before, Mr. Lin, you also agreed?" Lin Xiaofeng sighed: "Stop talking." Hong Cheng nodded to express understanding, and then said: "Congratulations, Mr. Lin , this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Please come with me.”

They walked into the library, which was filled with documents organized into categories. Hong Cheng rummaged for a while, then pulled out a book and handed it to Lin Xiaofeng: "This is the information we compiled on the Xixia royal family. The sixth prince's name is Taldali, who was born when Battelle first took over as the leader of the Alukorqin tribe. Battelle is a A powerful ruler, each of his sons had to lead troops or participate in military exercises when they grew up, so they were all brave and good at fighting. But Taldali was different in that he was not good at military affairs during Battelle's reign. He has not made any military exploits, but he has a good reputation among the tribe. He is said to be gentle and kind-hearted, but he is not loved by Battle. Generally speaking, he is ordinary. And kind people shouldn’t be difficult to get along with.”

Lin Xiaofeng touched his chin and said depressedly: "Then isn't he a useless waste? If he sends a waste to visit us and uses me in exchange, wouldn't I suffer a loss?" Hong Cheng's heart tightened: "Mr. Lin, be careful what you say. ! He is also a prince, how can you say he is a waste? You deserve this deal!" "As a prince, he has endless resources, but he is not favored by his father. He is bullied by his brothers just because he is soft and kind. . To be honest, I sympathize with him!" Lin Xiaofeng's lips curled up with an evil smile, "I like dealing with honest people the most!" I don't know what Xixia thought about sending such an honest person to do things. But this is fine, if you want to know any news or want to do something, it is best to find this honest man.

Hong Cheng couldn't help but shuddered: "Mr. Lin, what do you want to do? Don't act rashly! This is no joke! Who did the honest man provoke?" What happened to the honest man? I just love teasing them! The main thing is to subvert their cognition! "Hmph! For some reason, I just want to chat with him more to promote the friendship between the two countries." Lin Xiaofeng said with a smile. "By the way, when will their mission arrive in Kyoto?" "Hurry! Because the credentials were delivered quickly by someone from the mission, they should arrive soon. But it's really strange. Their visit seems to be in a hurry this time. "It's different from the previous process," Hong Cheng said doubtfully.

Lin Xiaofeng also felt that something was wrong, especially when Wu Rige invited him by name, but he couldn't think of a reason after much thought, so he had to give up. "Don't think about it! They are anxious, but we are not anxious! Just wait! Thank you very much, Mr. Hong, for today. I will go back and make preparations first."

Ten days later, Jin Yiwei and officials from Dali Temple arrived outside the city early to wait. According to the news from the inn, the Xixia delegation will arrive in Kyoto today. Lin Xiaofeng put his hands in his sleeves and stared blankly ahead. After waiting for half an hour, no one came. In the past ten days, he had made full preparations, and the Beilang Daily also made slight adjustments and published a lot of positive news and reports about Xixia. In the past, negative news about Gumon was published every day, but the result was counterproductive. Now Gumon has been described as useless. Now that someone is visiting, it would be inappropriate to do this. What if someone sees me? Wouldn't that cause conflict? An honest person can't be so exciting!
After ten days of news, the mentality of the people has also changed a lot, at least they no longer cynicize foreigners. Finally, Lin Xiaofeng also carefully prepared a batch of special "diamonds", bicycles and other Jingjiang specialties, as well as tea as return gifts. After another half hour, a long team appeared in the distance. The leader rode a tall white horse and was dressed in white clothes. He was quite thin and his appearance was characteristic of Xixia people, but in terms of temperament, he was somewhat elegant like a scholar.

When he was still a hundred or two hundred meters away from the city gate, the attendant beside the man in white stretched out his hand and pointed: "Sixth Prince, look, the tall young man in the front is Lin Xiaofeng." Taldali narrowed his eyes and looked softly. He said, "Are you sure? You read that correctly?" "That's right! Lin Xiaofeng is taller than the average person, and he is very young in Jingjiang officialdom. I remember it very clearly when I accompanied the Imperial Master here last time."

"Sixth Prince, be careful. The National Master has repeatedly told me that Lin Xiaofeng is very special and does not follow the ordinary path. No matter what he says, you must carefully consider it and don't believe it easily." Taldali nodded slightly to express his understanding, and at the same time tightened his fists a few times. The hand that separates the horse's reins. Although he didn't know why his father, who had always looked down upon him, suddenly sent him to visit Jingjiang Kingdom, the imperial master taught him in every possible way before the trip that he must be careful when dealing with Lin Xiaofeng.

Lin Xiaofeng had been waiting for a long time. His legs felt a little sore and numb, and his body showed a hint of exhaustion. The person next to him reminded him to cheer up, so he shook his head and cheered up.

Looking up, Lin Xiaofeng suddenly noticed the person leading the team, who seemed to be Tardali. He turned sideways and said to Hong Cheng: "Hey, Hong Cheng, look at that person, the one leading the team, is it Tardali?" Hong Cheng looked at it carefully and nodded, "Yes, look at the horse he is riding. Horse decoration is not something that ordinary people can afford, and it should be him. "

After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng began to look at Taldali carefully. His face was slightly pale, and there was a trace of fatigue between his brows, giving people a feeling of weakness. Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but think that it would be really difficult for such a person to live among the nomads, let alone that he was from a royal family.

Not long after, the delegation's team arrived in front of the city gate. When Taldali raised his head, he saw Lin Xiaofeng on the city gate, and Lin Xiaofeng was also looking at him. The two people's eyes met in the air, Lin Xiaofeng's eyes were full of curiosity and determination, while Taldali was a little nervous, and finally even looked away. Lin Xiaofeng saw this and smiled to himself, thinking that this person seemed a little afraid of strangers, which was quite interesting.

Upon seeing this, Hong Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and asked loudly: "But the second prince is here to visit? Hong Cheng, the minister of Dali Temple, and Lin Xiaofeng, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, are here to greet him." He came down immediately, walked to Hong Cheng, raised his hands and saluted. "Lord Lao Hong came out of the city to greet him." Hong Cheng and Lin Xiaofeng were stunned. They didn't expect that the prince of the Xixia Kingdom could actually speak their language and speak it so fluently.

"Is this Master Lin?" Taldali turned to look at Lin Xiaofeng and asked. Lin Xiaofeng returned the greeting with cupped hands, "That's right. I've met the Sixth Prince. The Emperor has known that the envoy has arrived today and has specially ordered us to come and greet him. The Sixth Prince has had a hard journey, so why not go to Dali Temple to rest for a while before entering the palace to see the Emperor." Erdali shook his head and said: "No, I will go into the palace to see the emperor now. I didn't expect Lord Lin to come to greet you in person today. The Imperial Master often mentions you."

"Oh? The Imperial Master still remembers me?" Lin Xiaofeng made a gesture of invitation, got on his horse, and walked side by side with Taldali. Taldali pondered for a moment, "The National Master once said that Mr. Lin is extraordinary." "What else did he say?" "No more." After saying that, Taldali fell silent and rode forward slowly. . Lin Xiaofeng found it a bit boring. Taldali was not only talkative but also a bit dull.

Lin Xiaofeng felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward and he had to find some topics to talk about. "The sixth prince can speak our country's language. It seems that you are usually very interested in our country's culture." Taldali replied: "Father said that we should interact with you more after opening up trade, so let us learn your culture. ." After he finished speaking, he stopped talking, and the atmosphere became awkward again.

Lin Xiaofeng felt that Taldali was so calm, and he even wondered if the boy was deliberately keeping silent. "Sixth Prince, why are you so reticent? Don't be nervous, just ask if you have any questions!" Taldali just smiled slightly, "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your concern. I have no problem. I just want to see the emperor now."

When they arrived at the palace, Emperor Jingjiang was already waiting for them. Taldali and Lin Xiaofeng walked into the hall together and saluted Emperor Jingjiang. "Taldali, the envoy of Xixia, has met the emperor!" Emperor Jingjiang looked him up and down. "I have heard of your name a long time ago. You are indeed a young and promising talent! Please give me a seat!"

Emperor Jingjiang asked curiously: "You have worked hard all the way. What made you send the envoy here in such a hurry?" Taldali pursed his lips, "Xixia suffered a catastrophe the year before last, which caused domestic disasters. Material damage is serious and people's lives are difficult. In order to solve this problem, strengthening trade and cooperation with Jingjiang State is the fastest and most effective way. And some people in our court are very dissatisfied with this decision, but my father even wants to go to war. After discussing with the Imperial Counselor, the emperor felt that doing so would destroy the friendship between the two countries, so he decided to send an envoy."

After hearing this, Emperor Jingjiang clapped his hands and praised, "The friendship between the two countries is hard-won! Since your country is so sincere, we will also treat you warmly." "So what are the specific projects of this trade cooperation? You can contact our Ministry of Household Affairs Let's discuss it together." Taldali was sweating slightly on his forehead. He was not very good at dealing with others and was afraid that he would say the wrong thing. Fortunately, he has memorized all the words taught to him by the imperial master. Tardali replied: "We came in a hurry this time and were not too well prepared. So we are here mainly to give gifts. To discuss the specific cooperation matters, we have to ask you to send someone to our country to discuss in detail."

After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng nodded secretly, so that's it. No wonder he always felt a little awkward. It turned out that there had been changes within the Xixia Kingdom. He also agreed with Battelle's idea of ​​not wanting to start a war. After all, Jingjiang State was now very powerful and it might not be cost-effective to plunder it.

Emperor Jingjiang nodded, "Okay! I originally wanted to send someone to pay a return visit to your country. This time, Lin Aiqing will lead a team and follow you to the Xixia Kingdom to discuss cooperation matters. Since you are here, stay a few more days and appreciate us. The scenery of the country!" Tardali clenched his fists after hearing this, feeling secretly happy. It’s exactly what the National Preceptor said! He bowed and saluted, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

Taldali stepped out of the glorious palace gate and let out a long breath, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off him. All the plans went as planned, the responsibilities on my shoulders suddenly became much lighter, and I no longer had any worries.

Lin Xiaofeng, who was next to him, looked at him sideways and asked in a teasing tone: "Sixth Prince, why do you seem a little nervous?" Taldali showed an embarrassed smile: "Mr. Lin, please don't make fun of me. "This is my first time to lead an army on an expedition, and I have a lot of responsibilities, so I feel a little unsure." As he said this, he touched his nose uncomfortably.

Lin Xiaofeng laughed loudly and patted his shoulder affectionately: "Don't worry, everything has been solved, you should also relax. Come on, I will take you to visit Kyoto and have fun for a few days. It will be no problem for ten and a half months. Then go back."

Taldali waved his hand quickly: "I appreciate Mr. Lin's kindness, but I'm really not in the mood to have fun." "Oh, don't worry about it." Lin Xiaofeng interrupted him, "We don't have to worry about trade matters. "Your Majesty will not blame you. You have to have some fun. Whatever you like to eat, play, or be interested in, I will arrange it for you."

Taldali secretly wondered why this Duke Lin was so worldly, so completely different from what the Imperial Master had described. But he still responded politely: "I usually like to read books and watch plays." "Okay, I will find you whatever books or plays you want to read." Lin Xiaofeng said enthusiastically.

"It's a bit embarrassing to say it, but my favorite are the strange novels published by Jingjiang State, especially the "Journey to the West"." Taldali admitted shyly.

Lin Xiaofeng's eyes lit up when he heard this: "You also like "Journey to the West"? Let me tell you a secret, that book was written by me." He looked around and whispered: "Don't spread this matter, it will have a bad impact. .By the way, which character in it is your favorite?”

"I like Sun Wukong the most, he is so awesome!" Taldali said excitedly.

Lin Xiaofeng gave a thumbs up in appreciation: "The Sixth Prince really has a vision. We have an old saying in Jingjiang: There is a Monkey King in everyone's heart. It seems that you are also a young man with great ambitions!"

A blush appeared on Taldali's face, Lin Xiaofeng saw it and was secretly happy in his heart. He thought this young man was very interesting and might become his confidant. "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Lin Xiaofeng changed the subject, "Do you still remember the daughter country in "Journey to the West"?" "Of course I do." Taldali nodded.

"What do you think of that story?" Lin Xiaofeng asked curiously. "It's pretty good, but I feel a bit regretful." Taldali said frankly. "Yeah, that's how it is with some things." Lin Xiaofeng said with emotion, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. By the way, what theater did you like to watch when you were in Xixia? I'll take you to see it."

"My favorite thing is to watch "Wolf Warriors."" Taldali blurted out, "That was adapted by our national teacher based on his experience in Jingjiang." Then he told the plot and characters of "Wolf Warriors" with great interest. Character, as well as the feelings of family and country and national spirit contained in it. Finally, he also specifically mentioned the popularity of this play in Xixia and its important role in uniting people's hearts and enhancing national consciousness.

Lin Xiaofeng listened with fascination, nodding his head from time to time and praising: "Your Imperial Master is really a genius!" At the same time, he also expressed great appreciation and respect for the culture and spiritual life of Xixia, "In addition to "Wolf Warriors", there are also Are there any good movies? We don’t have such themes in Jingjiang.” “It’s basically similar to “Wolf Warriors”,” Tardali thought for a moment and replied, “Oh, by the way. "Wolf Warrior 2" is also pretty good."

"You just watch these every day?" Lin Xiaofeng asked in surprise, "Aren't you tired of watching them?" "No, we all like watching these shows." Tardali explained, "And besides There's nothing interesting about these. The National Master didn't write new plays anymore, so we could only watch these old classics over and over again." He smiled helplessly at this point.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at him and couldn't help but sigh: This young man's spiritual life is so lacking! So he put his arm around Tardali's shoulders and said, "Let's go! Let me take you to see our great show in Jingjiang! I guarantee it will be an eye-opener for you!" After saying that, he pulled Tardali involuntarily. Go forward. Taldali was startled by his sudden move, but he was too embarrassed to push the other person away, so he could only let him pull him forward. "Mr. Lin, slow down!" he shouted from behind.

They arrived at the bustling North Langfang. Night had fallen and the lights were starting to turn on. Audiences flocked to the theater, looking forward to tonight's performance. Lin Xiaofeng and Taldali also found a good seat and sat down, looking forward to the upcoming drama. With the sound of gongs and drums, the drama began. A gripping emotional drama unfolds on the stage, with two men and a woman performing passionately and immersedly. A handsome man with a sad face slowly walked onto the stage pushing a dilapidated bicycle. On the opposite side, a pair of men and women riding tall horses appeared. The woman tearfully told her inner struggle and pain: "I would rather sit in a BMW." I don't want to sit on a bicycle and force myself to smile!" After saying that, he rode away with the man, leaving the handsome man feeling sad and sighing alone on the stage.

Taldali stared intently at the stage, his emotions fluctuating as the plot progressed. When he saw the woman leaving, he angrily slapped the armrest, stood up and reprimanded loudly: "This woman is so vain! It's outrageous!" Upon seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng quickly pulled him to sit down and comforted him softly. Said: "Sixth Prince, don't worry, there is a twist in the plot later. In fact, the woman was terminally ill, so she took this opportunity to leave her beloved. Later, the hero's friends discovered the truth and helped them Love was rediscovered. In the end, the heroine exercised on a Yangqu bicycle and overcame the disease, and the two lived a happy life. "

After listening to Lin Xiaofeng's story, Taldali felt a little calmer. He re-examined the performance on stage and sighed: "Although the storyline is very touching, I think this play still focuses too much on the love between children and lacks some patriotic feelings compared with our Xixia plays. And why does that man appear every time? Why do you have to loudly emphasize that you are riding a Yangqu bicycle when you are riding a bicycle?" Lin Xiaofeng smiled awkwardly and explained: "The Sixth Prince is really observant and has unique insights! It’s a feature of our Jingjiang opera...Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore, I will show you other dramas tomorrow.”

With the curtain call of the actors on the stage and the warm applause and cheers from the audience, tonight's performance came to a successful conclusion. Taldali also smiled with relief and sighed: "It's really wonderful!" He looked at the sky and said to Lin Xiaofeng: "It's getting late, Mr. Lin, we should go back." Lin Xiaofeng nodded and stood up. : "Okay, okay, the sixth prince should be tired too. Let's take a good rest tomorrow and I will take you to see other fun things." After saying that, he walked forward and Taldali followed him. The eyes behind him sparkled with anticipation and curiosity...

As the days passed, Lin Xiaofeng took Taldali to visit the shops, academies, and even the scenic spots in Kyoto, even the corners of the government offices. Although Taldali had fun, he always felt a little confused. He gradually realized that Lin Xiaofeng's image in his heart had changed a lot unknowingly.

Imperial Master Wurige once told him that Lin Xiaofeng was not an ordinary person and he always did things unexpectedly. Indeed, Lin Xiaofeng has a straightforward personality and can say whatever he thinks in his heart. It seems that nothing can be hidden from him. When he teaches subordinates, rewards and punishments are clear, orders are clear, and he does not mince words. He spoke in a vulgar and quack-like manner, like a gangster leader. In Xixia Kingdom, such officials are indeed rare.

However, what confused Taldali was that Lin Xiaofeng had such an outspoken personality, so why did the National Master repeatedly tell him to be careful? But having said that, the ability and influence of Imperial Master Wurige in Xixia are well known, and his instructions must have reason. Therefore, Taldali still remained vigilant.

Recently, Lin Xiaofeng has also felt a little depressed. When chatting with Tardali, he always felt that the two of them could not talk together. Taldali looked ignorant, as if he had no status in Xixia and was not taken seriously. But when he talked about novels, national affairs and other topics, he became very interested. This time, it seems that I am here specifically to give gifts. However, Lin Xiaofeng was keenly aware that Taldali was wary of him. Although he didn't know the specific reason, it felt like it was not a good sign. If I go to Xixia in the future, something might happen, and I might have to rely on Taldali for help. Therefore, he decided to find a way to win over him.

One day, Lin Xiaofeng was busy sorting out his official duties, while Taldali sat quietly next to him. He had a pile of official documents on hand, all of which Lin Xiaofeng had specially brought to relieve his boredom. They were all about trivial matters such as punishing minor officials. After a long time, Lin Xiaofeng finished sorting out the official documents and put them on the table. He raised his head and said to Taldali: "Sixth Prince, we are not going to the theater today. How about going to Beilang University for a walk?" Taldali was immediately interested after hearing this. Interest came. He had heard of Beilang University in China and knew that Lin Xiaofeng was the president there. This is an important place worth visiting in person. "Okay, everything will be subject to Master Lin's arrangement."

They came to the entrance of North Corridor University and stood side by side. Taldali looked at the wide school gate and tall boulders in front of him, and his heart was slightly shocked. A college is so impressive, I'm afraid there won't be another one in the world. Lin Xiaofeng invited him to visit and introduced the school in detail. The decoration on campus is exquisite, and every place is a scenery. Students roamed and talked freely on campus, looking relaxed and at ease.

Lin Xiaofeng pointed to the distant landscape and asked Taldali: "Sixth Prince, guess how much money it will cost to build this school?" Taldali pondered for a while and said, "I'm afraid it will cost tens of thousands of taels." "Silver." Lin Xiaofeng shook his head, held out two fingers and said, "Ten thousand taels? That's not even half of it! It's at least two hundred thousand taels!" He pointed to the rare tree species in the distance and said, "Look. The trees over there are all brought from the south. The construction craftsmen are also professionals invited from the Ministry of Works. The teaching materials in this school..." Lin Xiaofeng introduced the situation in detail. He also said that if the land was not granted by the royal family and the court had strong support, two hundred thousand taels of silver would not be enough. And future expenses will continue to be invested. Taldali was shocked when he heard this! The Xixia Kingdom's annual fiscal revenue is only more than fifteen million taels of silver! And building a college in Kyoto actually costs hundreds of thousands of taels of silver! What an amazing financial resource this is!

"What do you think of the Sixth Prince?" Lin Xiaofeng asked. Taldali forced a smile and said: "It's indeed awesome! But is it really necessary to spend so much money to build a college? What are taught here?" "Everything is taught here! It can be roughly divided into liberal arts and science. At present, it mainly focuses on cultivating craftsmen. Of course, these are learned craftsmen. "Artisans?" Taldali felt a little confused. I understand that in your country, the status of craftsmen is not very high, right? Doesn’t it go against tradition to cultivate craftsmen in such a big way?” Lin Xiaofeng laughed and said, “The sixth prince is indeed well-informed! It’s just the spirit of inheritance, it doesn’t matter how it is displayed. In the future, one of the college students trained by us at Beilang University can be as powerful as ten horses! I don’t know how many people in Jingjiang will benefit from this! We will also benefit from these college students who are as powerful as cows and horses. This is the real tradition!" Lin Xiaofeng added.

Although Taldali did not fully understand, he was greatly shocked in his heart. "Of course it must be achieved through learning." Lin Xiaofeng answered vaguely, and then continued to move forward. Taldali didn't know what to ask, so he could only follow him silently and look around. As they walked, Taldali suddenly stopped, pointed to the buildings in front and asked: "Mr. Lin, I see that there are many houses here with signs. What are the houses without signs doing? "Well, considering that new majors will be added in the future, a lot of empty rooms are left as spares." He pointed to the building in front of him and said, "Look, this is where the Kyoto Patriarch Association recently invested. People in Beijing who are interested in studying medicine will come here to study. "Also, many of the flowers and plants outside are cultivated by students. Let's go in and take a look."

They walked into the medical school. The teacher was giving a lecture to a group of freshmen. A group of students were holding syringes in their hands and gesticulating on the pig skin. Taldali asked curiously: "Why did you get a needle? Is this practicing acupuncture? What is the tube behind the needle for?" "It's not for acupuncture. The tube is filled with medicinal liquid. Putting the medicine directly into the patient's body is more effective than drinking it. "I see, it's really clever." Taldali remembered in his mind and nodded seriously, "I wonder if I can take a closer look." "It's just a small thing." "With that said, they pushed open the door and entered. Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and greeted them loudly. Lin Xiaofeng raised his hand gently and said: "Today the Japanese principal is bringing distinguished guests to visit. What are you learning?" "Learn injections." "Let's show it to our distinguished guests." He pointed casually and selected a student to demonstrate. The selected student came out tremblingly and said in a low voice: "Principal Lin, I just came here and I haven't practiced yet." "What are you afraid of? Just do it if I ask you to do it! The distinguished guests just want to see how you give injections." Yes, don't be nervous!" The student tremblingly picked up the needle and injected it into the pigskin. Then Lin Xiaofeng frowned, pulled Taldali and said: "Let's go, Sixth Prince, I will take you to see other places."

Lin Xiaofeng and Taldali walked together, shuttling between various colleges. Lin Xiaofeng cleverly bypassed the lengthy explanation, but Taldali was still dazzled by the ocean of knowledge in front of him. He can generally understand the practicality of this knowledge, but the details are like heavenly scriptures to him. However, he did not delve into it, thinking that these were trivial matters. The long journey made both of them tired, so they found a small pavilion and sat down to rest.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at Taldali and asked curiously: "Sixth Prince, what do you think of Beiling University from this trip?" Taldali scratched his head and replied with some confusion: "I can't see some things well. I understand, those theories are too profound for me. Is it really useful to learn these things?" Lin Xiaofeng explained with a smile: "It is normal for the Sixth Prince to not understand. It is difficult to describe simply in words, so you will think it is profound. "Everything in nature, such as mountains and rivers, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and even the laws of the human heart, can be explained by science. We need to use science to study the laws of all things." is very useful."

"Science?" Taldali raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Listen to what you say, aren't scientific theories more profound than the teachings of saints?" Lin Xiaofeng smiled and nodded: "If you say that, I don't either. Objection. But to be more precise, science and the teachings of saints have their own merits. ""In my opinion, science is a ruthless guy. Anything that is contrary to science will expose the truth mercilessly and let people know. Pay the price. "So, Beilang University is an important pillar of our Jingjiang Kingdom!"

"An important pillar of the country?" Tardali looked up at the sky and said thoughtfully: "Since it is an important pillar of the country, why did you show it to me so easily and tell me so much? I don't quite understand. Lin Xiaofeng said with emotion: "Sixth Prince, after we have been together for so many days, you should know that I am a straight person." "Although Beilang University is very important to me, I only want to be honest." "There's nothing to hide." "You're right." Taldali nodded involuntarily. What he saw today was indeed what Lin Xiaofeng said, but it seemed that he was a little stingy. Lin Xiaofeng saw this scene and secretly admired him. He felt that this person had been persuaded by him and he could test him further.

Lin Xiaofeng asked with a hint of provocation: "The Sixth Prince has stayed in the capital for so many days, how do you think this place compares with your Xixia capital?" Upon hearing this, Taldali felt a little unhappy. He thought, I am the sixth prince of Xixia, how dare he ask me this, it is so rude! But he remained calm and responded: "Mr. Lin, what do you mean by that? Although we in Xixia have suffered disasters, our military strength is strong and the country is getting stronger day by day! Whether it is military strength or capital, we are no worse than Jingjiang!" "Not to mention that my father is a wise monarch. He has conquered unconquered lands in the past few years. My brothers are all outstanding generals with outstanding military exploits." After saying these words, Taldali gasped with a red face. Sighing.

Seeing Tardali's excited reaction, Lin Xiaofeng hurriedly comforted him: "Sixth Prince, don't mind. I am just a straight person and speak without thinking. Don't take it to your heart, don't take it to your heart." Tardali listened. His face gradually softened, and he said in a pretentious manner: "I still know Mr. Lin's character, it doesn't matter." Lin Xiaofeng scratched his head and said with a smile: "Okay, okay. I just heard the Sixth Prince say Your brothers are all talented generals and have great achievements in battle. I think the sixth prince must be a great person. Do you have any glorious deeds to tell me? "

When Taldali was asked this question by Lin Xiaofeng, his mind suddenly went blank! His self-esteem seemed to have been hit hard! His brothers all have military exploits, but he himself has nothing to say! The only time he led troops into battle, he fell off his horse and returned defeated. Now that Lin Xiaofeng asked him this, how should he answer? Tell the truth, you have nothing to show off; tell lies, you feel too embarrassed!
Taldali was silent for a while, then said with a flushed face: "Leading troops to fight is not my strength. I prefer reading and studying liberal arts." His voice became smaller and smaller, obviously lacking confidence. Lin Xiaofeng glanced at him and laughed secretly in his heart. Looking at your embarrassment, you are also good at liberal arts. What a joke!

"Oh~" Lin Xiaofeng deliberately pretended to have a sudden realization, "It turns out that the sixth prince's strengths are here! He has many similarities with the prince of our country. He also likes liberal arts, loves reading and watching plays, and is good at thinking." "Really?" Taldali's eyes flashed with light, as if he had found a soulmate. "Yeah, yeah, they do have a lot of similarities." Taldali suddenly felt more comfortable and saved a little face.

Taldali asked curiously: "How do I compare with the prince in your country?" Lin Xiaofeng looked embarrassed, "Well... you two have noble status, so my evaluation is not appropriate." Taldali carefully said Observing Lin Xiaofeng's expression, he felt secretly proud. It seems that the prince of Jingjiang Kingdom is really bad! Lin Xiaofeng didn't even dare to compare it! "Say it! It doesn't matter! If you don't say it, you won't treat me as a friend!" Taldali started to get a little excited.

Lin Xiaofeng laughed secretly in his heart, but on the surface he still kept an indifferent look, "Sixth Prince, I am a straightforward person, so I usually don't dare to say anything in front of other colleagues. Since you asked, then I will Just answer it briefly. But there is one thing, you must not spread it! Otherwise, I will not be able to survive." Taldali secretly said, "I will never spread it!"

Lin Xiaofeng sighed softly, "Okay, then I will say it. In my opinion, the prince of our country will definitely become a wise king in the future. He is positive, lively and kind, and loves the people like a son." "... "Tardali's heart was suddenly filled with disappointment! He originally thought that he could be compared with the crown prince of Jingjiang Kingdom, but now it seems that he is overthinking it! "What do you think of me, Master Lin?" he asked reluctantly. Lin Xiaofeng looked at him and said calmly: "You still have a lot of room for growth." Upon hearing this, Taldali's face suddenly became ugly. Although he knew that his abilities were limited, he still felt shocked when Lin Xiaofeng said this.

"How dare you humiliate me?" Taldali suddenly jumped up from his chair, his eyes blazing, and he was extremely angry. He never expected that Lin Xiaofeng would be such a direct insult as soon as he opened his mouth. Every word was like a needle, piercing the pain point that he least wanted to be mentioned.

Although he knew in his heart that Lin Xiaofeng was always outspoken, the humiliation this time was really hard to swallow. His eyes were as big as copper bells, and he stared at Lin Xiaofeng angrily. His whole body was tense, as if he was about to pounce in the next second.

However, in the face of all this, Lin Xiaofeng acted quite calmly, and even had a contemptuous smile on his lips, "Yes, I am just humiliating you, what's wrong?"

Taldali was so angry that his whole body was shaking and his teeth were chattering, "Lin Xiaofeng, you have to understand that I am a member of the Xixia royal family, you dare to humiliate me!"

Lin Xiaofeng stared back at him without fear. Even though the Taldali people were tall and powerful, Lin Xiaofeng was not willing to be outdone. He usually exercised diligently, had a strong body, and had rich fighting experience, so he didn't take Taldali seriously at all.

"Did the aristocratic education you received since childhood teach you to show off your royal status every day?" Lin Xiaofeng said sarcastically, "Unifying twenty-six tribes, conquering the north and south, are you responsible for these great achievements? Is it you? Dad and your brothers led the army to establish the Xixia Kingdom, not you!"

Taldali was speechless and furious, and he rushed towards Lin Xiaofeng with a fierce movement. But Lin Xiaofeng was on guard and easily tripped him to the ground and pinned his hands on the stone table with his backhand.

"You are so showy, but you still want to compete with me?" Lin Xiaofeng laughed sarcastically, "When I was on the street, you were still dreaming in bed!"

Taldali felt sad in his heart. He knew that he was no match for Lin Xiaofeng, but he still cursed fiercely. Lin Xiaofeng's every word pierced his heart like a sharp knife, trampling his self-esteem to pieces.

Seeing that Taldali was no longer able to fight back, Lin Xiaofeng let go of his hand, took two steps back, and kept a distance from him. Taldali seemed to have lost his soul, sitting on the stone bench blankly, tears falling silently from the corners of his eyes. He struggled helplessly, like a trapped beast, at a loss what to do.

However, Lin Xiaofeng had no intention of stopping there, and continued to sarcastically say: "You are not only incompetent, but also short-sighted. Let me ask you, what is the use of Beiling University? Can't you see it?"

Taldali had completely given up resistance at this time and just silently endured Lin Xiaofeng's humiliation. Looking at his appearance, Lin Xiaofeng felt that he had gone too far, so he walked over and sat next to him and said softly: "Sixth Prince, I know you feel uncomfortable now. But to be honest, many people are not willing to listen to the truth. I may have gone too far today, but I’ve been holding it in for a long time, and I’m not happy to say it anymore. Besides, I’m speaking out from my own feelings, because I’ve also had a similar experience.”

Taldali remained silent, just lowering his head and not daring to look up at anyone. Lin Xiaofeng didn't care whether he was listening or not, and started to tell his story: "Back then, I was also a good-for-nothing little gangster. I was still young and no one cared who I was. I originally planned to I could just find an easy job in Kyoto and just live my life. But who knew, fate would play tricks on people like this, and I would suddenly be entrusted with an important task and become the county magistrate. So many people were counting on me. I can't shirk the responsibility. I can only bite the bullet and lead them through one difficulty after another. Fortunately, I didn't let everyone down. I have made some achievements and lived up to the expectations of the people. Only now do I understand that this life should be like what I am now..."

Taldali secretly wiped his nose, glanced sideways at Lin Xiaofeng, and then quickly lowered his head. Although he didn't say anything, Lin Xiaofeng knew that his words had touched something deep in his heart.

Once upon a time, our emperor traveled in casual clothes and visited the territory under my jurisdiction incognito. I remember when I first saw Long Yan that day, I just felt that the emperor was in high spirits, with such wisdom and wisdom that penetrated people's hearts. I am truly lucky to have been appreciated by the Holy One, called into the palace, and became the prince's master. At that time, the prince was still an ignorant young man. He wandered around doing nothing every day, and even made the emperor frown for him.

"Fortunately, the prince and I have a good rapport, and he can listen to what I say. After several years of my careful teaching, the prince seems to have been reborn and has a completely new look."

"I still remember that when there was a food shortage in the country, the prince actually went to provide disaster relief in person. The Langfang area in the north of the capital is now dazzlingly prosperous. Under the prince's personal governance, he won the praise of hundreds of officials. Everyone said that this prince, He will undoubtedly be a wise king in the future!”

When Lin Xiaofeng said this, he paused, and a trace of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, "Recalling the days spent with the prince, it is really emotional. Now I can't help but tell this to the sixth prince."

"But to be honest, you, the Sixth Prince, are even worse than the Crown Prince back then."

"Oh? How did you see that?" Taldali asked casually, feeling a little sleepy.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled softly, "Sixth Prince, you are humble and good at accepting advice. You can take the initiative to ask me or the prince who is better. Your ambition is beyond the reach of others."

"In this regard, you have surpassed many people. What you are missing now is to put your thoughts into practice and work hard to change yourself. In time, you will surely impress everyone!"

"Life is like a long run. If there are people pointing fingers from the side, then you should move forward faster and leave those comments far behind and never hear them again." (End of Chapter)
