The Hou family's legitimate daughter died tragically and went to the palace, and then she was r

"Secret Guard? Wushang Camp?"

Lin Jinglan's face was filled with confusion as to why she had never heard of it.

The old Marquis turned around and looked at Lin Jinglan behind him, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"My ancestors of the Lin family were sworn brothers with the founding emperor of Chu. You must have heard of this."

Lin Jinglan nodded. Da Chu conquered the world on horseback, and the Lin clan of Ding Beihou Mansion was the most trusted military commander of the founding emperor.

Therefore, the title of Marquis of Dingbei is hereditary and is extremely noble even in the capital where there are many powerful people.

"After the founding of the country, there was injustice in the court, uncertainty in the country, and traitors. Therefore, the founding emperor and my ancestors of the Lin family gathered their best men and gathered some talents from the world of martial arts to establish two mysterious forces to jointly protect the tranquility of the great Chu. "

The old Marquis slowly told Lin Jinglan these secrets.

"These two forces are Wushang Camp and Ye Youming. The people from the royal family are in charge of Ye Youming, and the people from the Lin family are in charge of Wushang Camp. The original intention is that one party is in the court and the other is in the opposition to jointly protect the Chu. But a hundred years have passed, and Ye Youming It’s getting stronger and stronger, but the Wushang Camp is getting weaker and weaker.”

It turned out that there was such a reason. Lin Jinglan's eyes became darker and darker, and the look on his face became more and more solemn.

"The reason for the decline of Wushang Camp is to prevent the emperor from being jealous. After all, once the emperor and his courtiers were once emperor, the subsequent emperor was no longer the founding emperor who was as close as a brother to the ancestors of the Lin family."

Lin Jinglan raised the corners of her lips, revealing a mocking smile.

"Lan'er is indeed smart. You are right. This is why Wushang Camp has rarely taken action in recent years."

The old Marquis praised Lin Jinglan with full appreciation. Now Lan'er's mind has changed, as if she has become a different person.

"Is the current leader of Naye Youming your Majesty?"

Lin Jinglan asked curiously.

The old Marquis shook his head.

"I don't know about this. Although the leaders of Ye Youming in the past generations are all direct descendants of the royal family, no one knows who they are. They are all passed down from generation to generation."

"The same is true for the leader of Wushang Camp. Although he is a member of the Lin family, he is not necessarily the head of the Lin family, and outsiders have no way of knowing."

Outsiders don't know, but the emperor will definitely know.

"Grandpa, I actually have something to say right now. I don't know if it's a bit disrespectful to ask it, but I'm still very curious."

Lin Jinglan listened to the old Marquis' words, thought about it carefully, and finally asked.

The old Marquis glanced sideways and signaled to Lin Jinglan to just ask.

"Is Wushang Camp loyal to the royal family or the Lin family now?"

The old Marquis was stunned for a moment as he asked the question word by word. Then his face became slightly solemn and he looked at Lin Jinglan seriously.

"Although I don't want to admit it, after more than a hundred years of development, the secret guards in Wushang Camp are basically passed down from generation to generation. Those people are close confidants of the Lin family, so now Wushang Camp only recognizes Lin."

No wonder the emperor was afraid. If she were an emperor, she would be afraid.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. A force has developed and has always been controlled by the same family. It would be strange if they were still loyal to others.

"Is the Wushang Camp still under Grandpa's control now?"

The old Marquis originally had three sons, but the eldest son died in battle and the youngest son died in infancy. Now her father, Marquis Dingbei, is the only child of his grandfather.

But why didn't my grandfather pass Wushang Camp to his father?

"Yes, although the Wushang Camp is no longer as good as before, nor as good as Ye Youming at the height of the sun, it has been accumulated for hundreds of years and is a force that cannot be underestimated."

Is that why Lin Qingyun came to look for the jade pendant?

It seems that he has known about Wushang Camp for a long time.

"This jade pendant is the Wushang Order, but this one is just the Yin Order, and there is also a Yang Order. The two pieces combined into one are the new generation leader of the Wushang Camp."

The old Marquis took out another jade pendant similar to Lin Jinglan's from his arms.

He walked to the table and put the two jade pendants together. With a click, the two jade pendants turned into one.

"Then why doesn't Grandpa choose the next leader of Wushang Camp, or father, or eldest brother?"

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, these two people are still very capable.

The old Marquis sighed softly while holding the jade pendant, and shook his head.

"I placed the Yin Order in the mansion because I intentionally chose the next generation of leaders. It's just that your father can't do it."

As for why it couldn't work, the old Marquis didn't say anything.

"Lan'er, let me ask you, do you think Wushang Camp should be loyal to the royal family now, or should it still be loyal to the Lin family?"

The old Marquis stared at Lin Jinglan closely.

"The Wushang Camp was originally established to protect the Great Chu. If we are sincere, we should be loyal to the people of the Great Chu."

Lin Jinglan answered as he should without any hesitation.

Whether it is the royal family or the Lin family, they all belong to Da Chu. They hold absolute power in their hands, so they should bless the people and protect the people.

"Isn't this the original intention of establishing Ye Youming and Wushang Camp?"

He looked at the old Marquis with doubtful eyes, but saw a smile suddenly appearing in his solemn expression.

"Grandpa, why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?"

Lin Jinglan was also a little surprised. Did he say it wrong?

But didn't my grandfather also say before that Wushang Camp was established because the country was unstable and the traitors were not eliminated, so Ye Youming and Wushang Camp were used to defend the mountains and rivers?

"No, you're right, and it's fine."

He walked back to the chessboard and motioned for Lin Jinglan to sit down as well.

"I asked your father and eldest brother this question before, but at that time one of them said they were loyal to the royal family, so that the emperor would trust and love the Lin family more, and the other said they were loyal to the Lin family, so that the Lin family could continue to stand in Dachu. .”

No one is doing it for the common people?

Well, her father and brother don't even know how to pretend.

"That's why I haven't decided on the person who will be in charge of Wushang Camp in the future."

The old Marquis also seemed to feel very sad because of this incident.

"Actually, you don't have to worry. As long as you can find the right person, if you can't find the right person, you can petition His Majesty to take control of the Wushang Camp. This will also prove the sincerity of the Lin family."

Lin Jinglan felt that this matter was not a big embarrassment at all, unless the Lin family had always wanted to hold this powerful force in their hands and were unwilling to let go.

"Lan'er, you are thinking simply. If it could be easily handed over, I would have handed it over long ago. The founding emperor told the ancestors of the Lin family that the Wushang Camp would always be under the command of the Lin family and could not be handed over to the royal family. If If there is no successor, then the Wushang Camp will be disbanded."

Is it so decisive?

At this time, Lin Jinglan also had a little more respect for the founding emperor of Chu.

"However, fortunately, I should have found the next leader of Wushang Camp now."
