C1521 The Emperor's Mind
After walking around outside the Xi Jing mansion for half a day, he gave up on the idea of making a move on the people from the Xi Jing mansion.
With his current strength, it would be difficult for him to deal with Xi Jing Wang and the others.
After some thought, Lin Long got the masked woman, namely Dong Yi, to write a letter and had them deliver it to the Western Capital three days later.
The letter said that because the people chasing them were skilled, they were in the middle of a chase and did not need to worry.
The reason for sending him off every few days was naturally because it would arouse the suspicion of the king of the west capital if he sent it off too quickly, but if he did not send it off, the king of the west capital would be able to see what had happened.
In these three days, Lin Long was still in the vicinity of the Western Capital.
Other than wanting to increase his strength and research on the Rune wood man, he had nothing else to do, so he was in no hurry to go.
Three days later, the messenger delivered the letter to the palace.
In the Xi Jing mansion, the person who opened Dong Yi's letter was none other than his sister, Lady Dong.
Madam Dong could tell at a glance that it was her older sister's handwriting.
Madam Dong had only taken a few glances when King Xi Jing couldn't wait any longer. "Madam, is this really your sister's letter?"
"It's true." Madam Dong nodded.
"What did she say?"
"She said that due to that person's strength, she was unable to catch him. However, she assured you that they had already surrounded that person. They only need to wait a little longer to capture that person." Madam Dong said.
As he said this, Lady Dong handed him the letter and took a look at it. When he saw that the contents of the letter were exactly as Lady Dong said, he couldn't help but nod his head. "That's good."
It was also because of this that King Xi Jing continued to wait in the mansion for the rest of the time. Otherwise, he would be hopping up and down in a few days.
Although he was curious why it was not a letter from Luo Shengxuan and the rest, he did not suspect it. After all, the letter was really written by Dong Yi.
Lin Long who was guarding outside saw that Lin Long did not make any movements, and left the palace, returning to the imperial city.
He had come out for too long, if he did not return, he might be directly expelled by the Seventh Princess.
At that time, without the identity as the Seventh Princess's bodyguard, it would be difficult to enter the Imperial Palace.
Lin Long naturally led Dong Yi forward.
On the way, Lin Long, who was interested in the Mo Clan's Curse Seal, asked Dong Yi for advice.
After asking in detail, Lin Long frowned, because Dong Yi was just an outer disciple with very little knowledge. With her little knowledge, it would be very difficult for her to learn Curse Seal.
Therefore, Lin Long could only give up.
Very quickly, they returned to the Imperial City, and then he went straight to Yu Du.
"Young master, I thought you forgot about me." Seeing Lin Long, Yu Du cried his eyes out.
Because he still needed Lin Long's antidote for the Ten Day Heart Attacking Pill in his body. If Lin Long did not give him the antidote, then he would have to die.
"Don't worry, I will give you less of this antidote. Right now, you need to take good care of this woman for me." Lin Long pointed to Dong Yi who was beside him.
Although Dong Yi was the older sister of Madam Dong, she had always been in the Western Region. Therefore, no one in the Imperial City knew her, which was why Lin Long dared to bring her here.
"Young master, don't worry. I will take good care of her." Yu Du quickly said.
"You better watch carefully. If you are not careful and leave, the antidote will be gone." Lin Long said with a serious face.
"Young master, don't worry." Knowing the importance of this matter, Yu Du immediately patted his chest and said.
Seeing him like this, Lin Long casually threw over a money bag, causing Yu Du to start crying from gratitude again.
After settling Dong Yi down, Lin Long headed for the Imperial Palace and returned to the An Ruo Palace.
"Hey, guardian Tang, you finally decided to come back?" Seeing Lin Long, the Seventh Princess was angry.
"There really is something important in that family." Lin Long evaded.
"You're not going back to get married, are you?" Seventh Princess sized Lin Long up from head to toe, as if Lin Long had already married some woman.
"Seventh Princess, you must be joking. If there really is such a thing happening, this guard will naturally report it to Seventh Princess." Lin Long said.
"Is that so?" No matter what, you have to promise me one thing, in order to make up for your mistake. Otherwise, this princess will definitely tell royal father that he will punish you. "
"Seventh Princess, is it really that serious?" Lin Long could not help but ask.
"Of course. Why don't you try it?" Seventh Princess put her hands on her hips, looking like she was determined to do this.
"In that case, this guard will agree to Seventh Princess's request. However, do you think this guard will know what happened?" Lin Long said helplessly.
"This princess didn't expect that it would be recorded in the account for now." The Seventh Princess said.
Hearing her say that, Lin Long became even more speechless, but thinking about it, she would probably not say anything that would make things difficult for him, so, she did not take it to heart.
After leaving the Seventh Princess, Lin Long immediately returned to his own room.
After that, other than focusing on his cultivation, he also studied the wood man rune.
Unknowingly, two days had passed.
On the morning of the third day, the Seventh Princess came over to call him, asking him to follow them to see Emperor Wu Xuanran.
Before long, they had arrived at the palace where Wu Xuanran was. Lin Long did not follow them in, but stood guard outside.
Although he did not know why, Lin Long still followed him in.
After entering, he saw Wu Xuanran, the Empress and the Seventh Princess.
"Greetings to His Majesty and the Empress." Lin Long said respectfully.
"No need for formalities." Wu Xuanran nodded, but his eyes continued to look at Lin Long's body, causing him to feel a little scared.
Did the emperor notice something? Lin Long was secretly shocked.
Of course, he still pretended to be very calm on the surface.
After a long while, Wu Xuanran finally shifted his gaze away from Lin Long, and asked the Seventh Princess, "An Ruo, are these your personal bodyguards?"
"Yes, royal father." The Seventh Princess nodded her head and then asked playfully, "Royal father has been staring at the Tang Guards for so long, could it be that you want to snatch the Tang Guard from An Ruo's hands?"
Wu Xuanran couldn't help but start laughing, "Little girl, royal father has an army of thousands in his hands, how could he care about your bodyguards?"
"Even if royal father wants to snatch it, Anruo wouldn't agree." The Seventh Princess smiled.
"You little girl." Wu Xuanran shook his head, then said to Lin Long, "Guard Tang, you may leave now."
Lin Long then walked out.
The other party did not seem to suspect him, but Lin Long did not dare be careless.
"Imperial Father, Imperial Mother, what matter did you two call An Ruo here for?" After Lin Long left, the Seventh Princess said to the emperor Wu Xuanran and the empress.
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you." Wu Xuanran smiled, then said, "An Ruo, you're not young anymore. The reason royal father called you over this time is for the great matter of your life."
Hearing that Wu Xuanran had brought up the matter from the past again, Seventh Princess was startled and quickly replied, "Royal father, Anruo doesn't want to get married."
Previously, Wu Xuanran wanted her to marry Lin Guanghan, but due to the fact that Lin Guanghan had lost a hand, he could let this matter go for now.
"An Ruo, be obedient. You're a princess. This isn't something you can decide. Don't play with a child's temper!" Wu Xuanran said with a cold expression.
"Father, shouldn't you find me first?" The Seventh Princess suddenly said.
Hearing her words, Wu Xuanran's face became gloomy, and he said coldly, "An Ruo, this is a deal."
"Then, Ruo Ruo should know who royal father is going to marry, right?" Seventh Princess bit his lips and said.
"Amongst these young talents of the Wu, other than Lin Guanghan, no one else is worthy of you." Wu Xuanran said.
"Lin Guanghan? "That won't do." Seventh Princess immediately shook her head.
"Why not?" Wu Xuanran frowned.
"Isn't one of his hands already crippled? royal father, do you have the heart to let your daughter marry someone like him?" The Seventh Princess said angrily.
His strength is still the most outstanding amongst these young talents. Originally, royal father thought that he would sink into depravity, but who would have thought that he would have another breakthrough recently, even in this kind of situation. It can be seen just what kind of talent and perseverance he has, so after thinking about it, I have decided to marry you to him. Wu Xuanran said.
"An Ruo, Guanghan is really not bad." The empress at the side added.
"So what if he broke through? I don't believe that his strength is at the top among all the young talents in Wu!" Seventh Princess snorted.
"If you don't believe me, I'll have him come over and exchange a few punches." Wu Xuanran said helplessly.
Hearing Wu Xuanran's words, Seventh Princess's eyes lit up. She thought of a plan, and immediately said: "Royal father, I have an idea, I don't know if you are willing to listen to it?"
"What idea?" Wu Xuanran asked doubtfully.
"Didn't you say that Lin Guanghan is very powerful? How about we hold a Groom Search Competition? At that time, if Lin Guanghan can take first place, then I will marry him." Seventh Princess said.
"This …" Wu Xuanran was momentarily stunned.
"If he can't even get first place, royal father, how can you say that he is the strongest, and if he can't get first place, how can he marry this princess?!" Seventh Princess said as she raised her small face.
"You little girl." Wu Xuanran was a little speechless, and then said helplessly, "Then let's do as you wish. We'll hold a martial arts competition."
The reason he agreed was naturally because he felt that there was no problem for Lin Guanghan to obtain first place with his strength.
"Moreover, it's not only the people from big families that can participate, even the people with status can participate as well. I don't want those bored faces coming and going." The Seventh Princess said again.
"Alright, I'll do as you say." Wu Xuanran said helplessly.
"Then thank you, royal father." Seventh Princess was immediately overjoyed.
"Then how about after half a month?" Wu Xuanran said.
"Right." Seventh Princess immediately nodded.
After that, Wu Xuanran called for people to come in and settle this matter.2
After that, Seventh Princess also left and returned to the An Ruo Palace with Lin Long.
