Chapter 128 Open your heart
When these words came out, the three people present were stunned.
"Father!"
Zhou Rou blushed subconsciously, stood up suddenly, and looked at Jiang Lin involuntarily, feeling confused for a moment.
She did have some feelings for the Taoist priest in front of her, and admitted that she fell in love with him at first sight, but it was just love at first sight.
But it hasn't reached the point where "We first met in front of Shangqing Temple, and once I saw Jiang Lin, I was ruined for life."
But at this moment, my father actually mentioned such a sentence so directly and abruptly.
She really didn't know how to face it.
Disgusted?
Of course not. If she was disgusted, she would not have stayed up all night and waited for it early in the morning.
But when it comes to talking about marriage, she feels it's too early.
At least, not yet.
Zhou Rou's mind was in a mess. She was helpless and stamped her feet in shame. She didn't care about anything else and walked out of the main hall with small steps, covering her blushing cheeks.
"Your Majesty..."
Baihua also spoke stupidly.
"you……"
He really didn't know what to say.
If this Taoist priest was from another lineage, it would be the Tianshi Mansion and Longmen, the leaders of the Zhengyi Quanzhen Sect. If the Prince of Qin, a noble prince, wanted to recruit one of his disciples as his son-in-law, even the Tianshi and the abbot would have to think carefully about it.
As long as the Zhou Kingdom has not fallen, the King of Qin is still the King of Qin. He is a royal noble who is second only to the emperor and above everyone else. The rich and powerful are nothing more than subjects in front of him.
Be it the Zhengyi Taoist school or the Quanzhen Longmen Taoist school, as long as they are still in the Zhou Kingdom, as long as the Zhou Kingdom is still the orthodox school among all nations in the Southern Continent.
Then we cannot ignore a prince.
But the Taoist priest in front of me is different!
My prince!
"Your Majesty! Didn't I tell you that..."
Baihua opened his mouth but hadn't finished speaking.
But he knew that the prince absolutely understood what he meant.
The origins of the young Taoist priest in front of him were not found out by himself, but through the connections in the Prince Qin's Palace.
King Qin couldn't possibly not know what kind of weight the only black law master in the world had! This was different from the two or three big cats and small cats in his own lineage!
The Fengdu Mage, who walks in the North Pole and enforces orders and laws, has always been the type who prefers to have nothing rather than something less than perfect!
In other words, it is not that there is only one Black Law Master in the world today, but that in this vast world, only Taoist Xuanying is qualified to be a Black Law Master!
Although Taoist Xuanying belongs to the Zhengyi sect, marriage should not be prohibited, but...
You just said that he should return to secular life???
My Lord, the first god worshipped by the royal family of our Great Zhou, the Great Emperor who is high up in the Purple Palace at the North Pole, is our ancestor!
At this moment, Baihua really wants to ask, Your Majesty, do you really know what you are talking about?
There is no way you don’t know the trick!
Baihua opened his mouth, but saw that the prince was just staring at Taoist Xuanying. At that moment, even if he had a thousand words to say, he had to hold them in his stomach.
The King of Qin is the master and he is the subject!
There has never been a time when a minister makes decisions for the monarch!
After the King of Qin finished speaking, he said nothing, but just stared at Jiang Lin with a smile on his lips.
Of course he knew Jiang Lin's background. In Kyoto where practitioners were everywhere, Jiang Lin could not hide anything.
The King of Qin was also very clear that Jiang Lin would not return to secular life, but he still asked.
Jiang Lin also came back to his senses at this time, looked at King Qin deeply, and said with a smile: "Don't joke, Your Majesty."
"How can a princess, a rich lady, marry a Taoist priest from a remote mountain?"
"Hahahahaha!"
The King of Qin laughed and said, "The idea of returning to secular life is of course a joke."
Laughing, the King of Qin suddenly became serious and said, "But the idea of recruiting a son-in-law is no joke."
"This is the first time I've seen my daughter being so particular about a man. If I can't make him my son-in-law, my daughter will be unhappy."
Jiang Lin blinked when he heard that.
Well, this gentleman is still a daughter slave...
It's no wonder. With only one daughter, it's normal to spoil her, but...
"Your Highness, please don't bother with me. I have never thought about men and women, and I only practice cultivation."
Jiang Lin also said seriously.
Since the King of Qin in front of him had spoken out, he naturally had nothing to hide. For matters like this, the more straightforward one spoke, the better.
"In that case."
The King of Qin stood up, lowered his eyes so that his expression could not be seen clearly, and just raised his hand.
This scene made Jiang Lin narrow his eyes.
"This is the first time that my words have been rejected."
Baihua's pupils constricted as he mobilized the magic power in his body.
Although I don’t know what the master is thinking and why we are at odds, no, he just made a request that is completely impossible to be agreed to, and now he has to take action!
Taoist Priest Xuanying is...
Baihua didn't hesitate much, his expression became determined, and he had a firework talisman hidden in his hand.
When this talisman is offered, all the offerings from the Qin Palace will arrive.
Before that, can I, alone, protect the prince and hold out against this Taoist Xuanying for a few breaths?
Baihua didn't know, but he knew that he might die today.
Jiang Lin looked at the King of Qin in front of him and did not move.
As Baihua was nervously watching, waiting for the prince's order, the prince's hands trembled in his sleeves.
The next moment, a token appeared in the King of Qin's hand. On the token made of purple gold was a word "Qin" written in a flamboyant style.
Seeing this, Baihua was stunned.
King Qin raised his head and smiled: "But I am very happy."
As he said this, the King of Qin stuffed the token into Jiang Lin's hand and said with a smile: "The talk of recruiting a son-in-law is just a joke, a joke with the young Taoist priest."
"However, I am sincere. Even if you don't have any thoughts about men and women, if you share the same interests, please be my friend."
King Qin sighed sincerely and said, "My daughter doesn't have many friends. She has been feeling depressed these years and sneaks out from time to time."
"This token is the golden token of my Qin Palace. With this token, you can come and go freely in most places in Kyoto."
"Although I don't have any real power, I am still a prince after all, and I have some respect in Kyoto."
King Qin said, bowing to Jiang Lin, and said: "Although I don't know what the Taoist priest is going to do in Kyoto, I know very well that it is not a good choice to be an enemy of the Taoist priest."
"Besides, no matter what, the Taoist priest and my daughter are now friends."
"There is a destiny between you and me."
"Please accept it, Taoist priest."
The words of the King of Qin were extremely sincere, and Baihua on the side also breathed a sigh of relief.
Recruiting Taoist Master Xuanying as a son-in-law is obviously a fantasy, and even asking him to be a worshipper may not be approved.
But now this can be said to be the best way to deal with it.
At least it is much better than taking direct action, because it is really unnecessary.
The Black Law Mage is a hedgehog. If you are clean, he will not bother you for no reason. But if you have nothing to do and bother him, you are either mentally ill or have other motives.
Baihua thought so.
Jiang Lin looked at the token in his hand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is sincere. If I don't accept it, I'm afraid I won't know what's good for me, but..." "I have quite a few restaurants in Kyoto."
The King of Qin interrupted Jiang Lin and said with a smile, "With this order, you can come and go as you please, and all expenses will be charged to me."
"This is just a greeting gift. I just want to build a good relationship with the Taoist priest."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin rubbed the token in his hand.
Ok……
I don't want to go back, what's going on...
"Hahahaha!"
The King of Qin laughed and said, "Master, I know how to please others and I consider myself a righteous man. I have never done anything to steal money or kill people. There is no karma or bad karma between me and you."
"This time, I really just took the opportunity to make myself familiar with the Taoist priest."
These words were not only straightforward, but also completely without any concealment. They did not sound like something a prince would say.
"In that case, I will accept it."
Jiang Lin thought for a moment, nodded, and put away the golden order in his hand.
"it is good!"
King Qin smiled, looked at Baihua, and said, "Sir, please guard outside the door and don't let anyone in."
"Yes."
Baihua didn't know what the prince was going to do, but he subconsciously agreed and then turned and left the main hall.
For a moment, there were only King Qin and Jiang Lin in the main hall.
"Master, there are no outsiders here. I have something to say to you."
The King of Qin asked Jiang Lin to sit down, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Jiang Lin was a little surprised.
"My brother is crazy."
"what?"
Jiang Lin frowned.
There is only one person in the entire Zhou Kingdom who can be called the Imperial Brother by the King of Qin, and that is His Majesty the Emperor who lives in the Forbidden City.
"The Taoist priest is not an ordinary person, nor does he care about power in the world. There are some things that I will not hide."
The King of Qin sighed and said, "My brother has grown old, but his heart is not old. He has just become a little... strange."
"Master, do you know Zhou Mei?"
"Natural understanding."
Jiang Lin did not deny that it was impossible for King Qin not to know about what happened this morning.
Others may not know the inside story of what happened in Hangzhou, but the King of Qin may not.
This prince has always been sincere, but there is one thing he said that is not right.
If he really had no power or influence, he would not have been able to sit peacefully in Kyoto until now.
"Zhou Mei often stayed overnight in the palace."
The King of Qin sneered and said, "Because of this vixen, the dispute between my brother's three sons has become more intense."
"But my brother pretended not to see anything and watched helplessly as his three sons fought to the point of bleeding because of a whore!"
Jiang Lin frowned even more deeply and said, "Prince Song and His Majesty are... brothers, right?"
"Then Zhou Mei and His Majesty's three children, aren't they..."
"The so-called nobility, especially those in high positions, hold great power and everything is up to their own preferences. Who would care about blood ties?"
The King of Qin sighed, "Besides, this is not without precedent. My three nephews have good ideas! At most, they just don't want to have children with that bitch."
He kept calling her a bitch and didn't care at all that she was his niece.
"My royal brother just watched them quarrel and watched them fight each other, not because of the throne, but because of a woman, their cousin!"
King Qin said this and slammed the table hard.
"The situation is turbulent now. There are treacherous ministers in the Great Zhou and powerful enemies outside. Such a scandal has happened in the imperial palace again!"
"My brother the emperor doesn't want to put things right, but instead stands by and watches! He even adds fuel to the fire!"
Jiang Lin listened to King Qin's words, shook his head and said, "This is not right."
Ordinary officials are protected by official aura, not to mention the imperial palace where the emperor resides.
With Zhou Mei's charm skills, what's the use even if they are Asura charm skills?
Jiang Lin dared to guarantee that there were many practitioners in the palace who were able to slap Zhou Mei to death with a single slap.
Not to mention, to seduce the three princes who are protected by dragon energy.
No matter how chaotic the Great Zhou Kingdom is, it is still the ancestral home of the human race in Southern Continent and the seat of the legitimate emperor!
How could a place like this be messed up like this by a woman who practices seduction?
"I understand what the Taoist priest is thinking."
The King of Qin looked at Jiang Lin and whispered, "But what if His Majesty intends to condone it?"
After hearing this, Jiang Lin looked at King Qin in disbelief.
No, what does the emperor want?
Even if he is worried about the crown prince and the prince seizing power, he only needs to use some checks and balances. The current emperor is not a mediocre ruler.
Holding power is not just talk. The power in the hands of the three princes is just a small share of the power they got because of the imperial power.
Why resort to such vulgar means?
Isn't he afraid of ruining his own son?
This is no longer a check and balance, but an extremely despicable means of distracting his three sons. But what good does this do the emperor?
Does he really not consider what will happen after his death at all?
Also, why is it Zhou Mei?
You know, now it seems that the things that Prince Song did in Hangzhou were most likely manipulated by the emperor, but Prince Song himself was not aware of it.
Could it be that Zhou Mei has been the emperor's person from the beginning to the end?
With his mind racing, Jiang Lin could only think of this one possibility.
In the case of the ghost fetus in Hangzhou, the person who hid the deepest was not King Song, nor the Black-Tooth Monk, but Zhou Mei.
"That's why I said that my brother is crazy."
King Qin sighed helplessly, let out a long breath, and said with a smile: "I don't know how long I have been holding back on these words. It is only because I am sure that the Taoist priest will not interfere with the power of the world that I am telling them everything to vent my anger."
As he spoke, the King of Qin stood up, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you for listening to my nagging, Taoist priest."
Jiang Lin glanced at the King of Qin, smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are too kind."
"It's getting late, Taoist priest, please rest in my palace tonight."
The King of Qin also smiled, raised his hand and called Baihua, ordering him to take Jiang Lin down.
"I'm leaving now."
"Master, take care. Remember to come and have breakfast with me tomorrow morning."
King Qin waved his hand with a smile and stood there watching Jiang Lin leave.
For a moment, the King of Qin was the only one left in the main hall. He lowered his eyes and the smile on his lips turned into thought.
"what."
The King of Qin suddenly laughed with emotion, stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked around the main hall, and went into a quiet room.
"Little fox."
King Qin sighed and looked up at the scene in front of him.
There was nothing in the quiet room except a shrine with a deity on top.
The King of Qin stepped forward, offered incense silently, and bowed three times.
The words on the shrine became visible in the midst of the incense smoke.
'The throne of the Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole in the sky'
