The strongest ruler of the heavens

Chapter 491 The Embarrassment of the Confused
After entering the city and the post house, Lu Guan waited for the emperor to summon him, while Lin Xi found an excuse to visit an old friend, and went to the street hand in hand with Meng Qi and Ruan Yushu.

The streets of the capital intersect vertically and horizontally, forming a chessboard shape. Xiaoxiang Tower is far away from the post house. It took Lin Xi and the three of them half an hour to walk gradually along the way, and they finally reached the square market where they saw the restaurant with red lanterns hanging high.

Just when the three of them were about to enter, Luo Shengyi's hearty and bold voice came from next to their ears: "The names of the three have been spread all over the capital, and there are indeed no worthy men under their great reputation."

He and Ge Huai'en stood by the steps of the restaurant, as if waiting for a special trip.

Luo Shengyi smiled and said: "There are many people here, let's go in and talk about it."

Lin Xi nodded, and Meng Qi followed Luo Shengyi and Ge Huai'en through the lobby of the restaurant, across the small bridge and flowing water, and arrived at an elegant and quiet courtyard behind.

"As soon as you entered the city, I got a reminder from the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation." After closing the door and carefully inspecting the surroundings, Luo Shengyi opened his mouth to explain.

At this moment, the indifferent and lofty voice of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation sounded again: "The main task [-] is started, help Lu Guan regain the trust of the emperor, pay homage to the general, reward four hundred good deeds for success, and deduct corresponding good deeds for failure."

"Regaining the emperor's trust..."

Lin Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Luo Shengyi: "Brother Luo, your main mission should be related to this, right?"

Luo Shengyi nodded lightly, pointing to the table full of wine and food: "Talk while eating."

Lin Xi was not polite, and immediately picked up the chopsticks and started eating, as if she was not afraid of being thrown, but Meng Qi had to be on guard, and waited until Ruan Yushu started eating before picking up the chopsticks.

"The Xilu were victorious, stationed in the upper reaches of the Pei River, and sent envoys to negotiate. The conditions were harsh. The emperor suffered a stroke and fell into a coma."

Luo Shengyi poured a glass of wine for everyone, and said with a smile: "Our main task is to gain the trust of a certain prince and temporarily stop the peace talks. Now it seems that if we can help the prince we support ascend to the throne, the main task Two can be successfully completed."

Lin Xi put down her chopsticks and asked, "Which prince are you supporting?"

"The third prince, and only he is willing to accept us." Luo Shengyi said indifferently, as if he was talking about an unimportant matter.

"How is the power of the third prince?" Lin Xi nodded, hearing the string song, he knew the meaning, and probably understood the current situation of the third prince.

If his strength is not bad, then he will not accept people of unknown origin.

Luo Shengyi played with the wine glass: "Not too strong but not weak either. At least the master Xiyue who is in the infancy supports him. I don't know the rest."

"Where's his competitor?" Lin Xi asked, taking a sip of his drink.

"The prince is orthodox, with a national teacher behind him, a Ruyi monk, and many courtiers. The fourth prince is a disciple of the Sword Emperor. He is quite popular in the world, and there are many important court officials..."

"However, now he seems to be aware of his shortcomings. He is a courtier and a master undercover. I suspect that the Demon Queen has secretly entered the capital and lives in the Seventh Prince's Mansion."

Lin Xi nodded slightly, and at this moment Meng Qi said: "How much ability do the masters in this world have to influence the situation?"

"If there are no masters in the imperial city or court, they can completely influence the political situation, and anyone who refuses to accept it can be assassinated." Luo Shengyi sighed and said, "However, Confucianism and Taoism are rampant in this world, especially the right minister is a great Confucianist. The strength is extremely not weak, if the court situation is controlled by force, I am afraid it will be turbulent."

"Since this is the case, the crown prince has the highest possibility of succeeding to the throne, and almost no one can stop him." Meng Qi frowned.

Lin Xi smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true, right, brother Luo."

"Not bad!"

Luo Shengyi nodded and said with a smile: "The emperor has been in power for many years and is getting older. He is very wary of the crown prince. He is very displeased and has repeatedly suppressed him. If it wasn't for the state teacher's efforts to protect him, the crown prince might have been abolished. Therefore, if With the emperor's will, other princes have the same possibility to ascend the throne."

"I can't tell the details of this matter for a while. I will take you to see the third prince tomorrow. You are now famous, and he will definitely attach great importance to it."

Meng Qi had some objections to this matter, but Lin Xi took the lead in answering: "Okay."

Meng Qi was startled. He thought for a while, but he didn't refute. Instead, he focused on the newcomer: "Where's Cao Zhan?"

Just now he wondered why only Luo Shengyi and Ge Huai'en were there, and Cao Zhan was gone, but because Lin Xi was talking, he didn't ask.

"He has the trust of the third prince, and he is ready for orders at any time." Luo Shengyi said without changing his expression, "I heard that you fought against the evil king? How is his strength?"

"If I fight head-on, I will use all my strength, and I can only save my life."

Save your life?
Luo Shengyi nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Lin Xi: "Brother Lin, how sure are you?"

Lin Xi chuckled lightly and said, "He's not worth my shot, so you and Xiaomeng and the others can join forces. Taking him down with your strength, isn't it difficult?"

Luo Shengyi frowned slightly, not because of Lin Xi's contempt, but because he remembered the special features of the Immortal Seal: "It is said that the Immortal Seal is very special, and it is not afraid of group battles."

"Yes, I also heard the rumor." Meng Qi also echoed.

……

The following discussions were all handed over to Meng Qi and Luo Shengyi, while Lin Xi and Ruan Yushu were happily eating, feeling uncomfortable.

It has to be said that Meng Qi is really good at this, especially at the wine table.

After drinking and eating, the three of Lin Xi bid farewell and left. They made an appointment to meet here early tomorrow morning to meet the third prince.

It was already late at this time, and many streets were very quiet. Meng Qi hiccupped and asked curiously, "Apart from playing the piano to assist and kill people, don't you have any means to confront the enemy head-on?"

Ruan Yushu glanced at him, then played the guqin lightly.

Zheng!
The sound was piercing, and a zither string bounced like a sharp long sword.

"That's it."

Lin Xi glanced at him: "What do you think? Killing people thousands of miles away?"

Meng Qi scratched his head and laughed dryly.

Ruan Yushu pressed down the strings, tied them up again, and continued to move forward indifferently.

The three of them stepped onto the stone bridge and walked slowly. Suddenly, at some point in front of them, there was an old man with white hair.

He sat on the stone steps, with his back to the three of them, and leaning on a long sword in front of him. His whole body seemed to exist, as if he was in between existence and existence, which gave people a very strange feeling.

Lin Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, moved away, and exposed Meng Qi: "I'm looking for you."

Meng Qi nodded, raised his hand and drew out his long sword.

"I heard that Lin Xi, son of Yulong, has special skills and superb swordsmanship. I want to try it." The old man stood up slowly, and his momentum changed, like a long sword drawn out of its sheath.

embarrassingly confused...

Lin Xi looked at Meng Qi who had drawn out his long sword, put away his folding fan in embarrassment and coughed lightly, and said slowly, "Why are you looking for me? Xiao Meng's swordsmanship is also superb, you will see blood when you take it out of the sheath, let him just do it like this." I'm afraid it's not good to take it back?"
