As long as there are enough vests, the plot can't kill me

"Your Highness..."

Upon learning Lin Xiao's intention, all the guards looked unhappy, and they also understood why the prince had lost his composure before.

This is simply a slap in the face.

"Your Highness, Young Master Lin is too overbearing."

"Yes, so what, Young Master Lin, how could she know how important the Pure Yang Spiritual Root is to you? Besides, we are not really getting it for free, we are just paying a few years later."

Seeing his brothers standing up for him, Situ Zhengming was instantly happy and turned to look at the silent captain of the guard.

"Seventh Uncle, what do you think?"

"Your Highness, we can only say that we were lucky. Since Young Master Lin has chosen to intervene, there is absolutely no reason for him to give up halfway. The previous plan is no longer useful."

"Yes. I heard that City Lord Pei's Taoist partner has physical defects. I will use those three drops of ten thousand year old black jade to exchange for the pure Yang spiritual root later."

When the private room heard that His Highness was going to take out the imperial gift that was kept at the bottom of the box for trading, the people in the room almost exploded.

But before they could say anything, Captain Situ lowered his voice and shouted angrily: "Shut up! One or two of you feel indignant in your heart, but you keep calling Master Lin, and you dare not even say his real name. Don't you realize it?"

"Uncle, calm down."

Although he was the one being warned, Situ Zhengming acted as a peacemaker.

He put away the smile on his face and said to the brothers who grew up together: "You may not know that not long ago, the ancestor and Young Master Lin had a meal together in the main hall of our palace."

what?

Young Master Lin just had dinner with the King, and in the main hall?

This news was really shocking. Even Situ Rui, the captain of the guard from the royal side branch, did not know about it, let alone the other guards of lower ranks.

The small private room was quiet for a long time until Captain Situ spoke up to break the silence.

"Your Highness, I have always been by your side, and I have conveyed all the news from all over the place. How did you know?"

These words touched everyone's heart, and seven or eight pairs of curious eyes looked forward at the same time.

"My sister told me."

Situ Zhengming explained, his old face suddenly became hot for no reason, and he didn't seem to want to mention it.

Noticing that everyone was listening attentively and wanted to hear the details, he immediately felt a little embarrassed and annoyed, "You have nothing to do, right? Go away."

"Yes."

His Highness rarely gets angry, so the guards dare not say much and keep their doubts deep in their hearts.

Captain Situ was not as easily dismissed as them. As a member of the royal family, he was not only the third prince's bodyguard, but also his blood elder.

[Your Highness, could it be the time you secretly ate fish a month ago? ]

It was only that time that the princess came to see her brother and the guards were not with her.

When he heard about eating fish, Situ Zhengming's face turned even redder, and he somehow had the urge to just throw the jar into the ground.

"Come on, come on, you all want to hear it, right? Let me tell you, my sister was also at the banquet, but she only had a seat to the side. The only ones who were eating properly were Young Master Lin and the old ancestor.

After the banquet, my eldest sister brought me a fish and said that Young Master Lin disliked the fishy cooking method and removed it directly. Are you satisfied now?"

When they learned the origin of the fish, everyone was dumbfounded. It was not difficult to understand why His Highness ate it secretly.

"Your Highness, we..."

"Okay, my elder sister has warned me more than once that I cannot treat Young Master Lin as a peer. Our ancestors also said something similar. But she said four more words than my elder sister, so I cannot do that for now."

temporary?

Situ Rui nodded when he heard this, and looked coldly at the few confused people, "Young Master Lin is only in her twenties, but she can achieve such success. It's only natural that the King and the leaders of other forces are optimistic about her.

If in a few years, Young Master Lin follows the old path of the Lin family's past patriarchs and relies on business to make a living, she will just be the head of an aristocratic family, not a local overlord, do you understand?"

To put it bluntly, Lin Xiao won the favor of a group of old foxes because his age and the career he has achieved are mismatched, which is eye-catching.

If her father Lin Tianze came instead, even if he achieved the same success, he would only be regarded as a talented person in the eyes of the top veterans.

After all, running a business is not the mainstream. The strong are respected in the world. In the eyes of most people, their own strength is the fundamental guarantee.

If a person is not strong himself, no matter how talented he is in dispatching and commanding, he must have the cooperation of those below him, otherwise nothing can be accomplished.

This is also the fundamental reason why Young Master Lin is very famous in the outside world, but not respected by the Qianxiu faction within the family.

The business talent that Lin Xiao showed early on may have only brought forward her future achievements. She will always be limited by her own talent for cultivation.

Because acquired spiritual roots can never compare to innate spiritual roots of the same level. This is common sense in cultivation.

Situ Zhengming had been beaten by his sister more than once, so he did not feel any resentment or jealousy towards Lin Xiao, who was much younger than him.

Just like our ancestors said, if someone can produce those things at this age, he or she should get a status that matches it.

It is completely unknown how much weight the title Young Master Lin will retain as he grows older.

"Don't think too much. It's a rare opportunity for you to come out, so take a good look."

"clear."

The guards also calmed down and focused their attention on the trade fair in front of them, no longer thinking about what had just happened.

Yuzhou is an important border town of the Qiyue Dynasty. Except for Lin Xiao and Situ Zhengming, all the people attending the party are seniors who have considerable reputation in the local area.

The things they brought out were varied, some of which made His Highness Situ jealous.

In the venue, everyone was paying attention to the platform where items were displayed, except Lin Xiao, who was witnessing the completion of each transaction with a look of gaining experience and filling his knowledge base.

This situation made City Lord Pei, who was presiding over the transaction, very panicked.

He specifically sent an acquaintance to the door of the private room where Young Master Lin was, hoping to find out what the other party needed as soon as possible and to make up for it.

As a result, halfway through the transaction, there was no news.

[Girl, you didn't like any of them? ]

Uncle Kun felt that it was a bit too much to not have any.

After all, the mere Lord of Yuzhou City is no match for the note just now, so this deal is a loss.

Of course Lin Xiao knew that it would be inappropriate to take nothing, and it might end up in a mess.

Deliberately destroying other people's humanity is a very serious matter.

As a qualified businessman, the ultimate goal of revenge is to convert it into profits, otherwise it is an ineffective behavior.

But as a candidate monk, she must follow her heart, not give up what she should fight for, not force what is not useful, and let everything go with the flow.

You can't go against your principles just to give the other person a chance to make amends.

No matter how precious the things here are, if there is no suitable one, Lao Pei can only blame his bad luck.

"Uncle, everyone wants good things. If you sell them based on value alone, wouldn't that ruin other people's luck?"

If you buy something that you can't use, it will just gather dust, and you will be hated by others because of this kind of interception behavior, which is still a loss-making business.

Uncle Kun understood and didn't say anything more.

The old man sitting in the yard also understood. The previous interest was gone from his face, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.

Realizing that Lin Xiao was adhering to the principle of fate, he panicked, thinking that his son-in-law might be killed by his momentary impulse.

In addition to cultivating their body, monks must also cultivate their minds. The belief that makes people willing to work hard and eventually turns it into principle is the so-called Tao heart.

Due to different personal circumstances, everyone's state of mind and principles are different.

For example, a demon cultivator who has killed countless people will have no psychological burden for slaughtering innocent people, and will not feel guilty afterwards, and it will not affect his mood.

And the same person may be abandoned by the relatives and friends he cares about, which may eventually lead to the collapse of his beliefs and shattered faith.

Pei Xingyuan is a man who values ​​treating others with sincerity and having no regrets. This time he plotted against Young Master Lin out of necessity.

It would be a disaster for him if he couldn't get along with Lin Xiao.

"Ying'er, your father was wrong, very wrong!"

pat!

When Zhou Ying came back from the treasury, she didn't hold the cloth bag firmly, and the things inside scattered all over the floor.

She is also a cultivator, so how could she not understand? The law of fate is Young Master Lin’s principle of Taoism, even though the other party has not yet entered the Tao.

If you judge others by yourself, no one would allow his or her state of mind to be clouded in order to forgive someone who has done something bad to him or her.

"Dad, it's useless to say this now. We made a mistake and we should bear the consequences."
