In front of the strict Lin family gate, two teams of guards stood on both sides, like sculptures. The weather was getting colder and the cool autumn wind blew by, but these people didn't even blink.
In terms of scenery, scale, and ostentation, the Lin family's residence is of a higher standard than the Ye family in Wangjiang City.
As soon as dawn broke, two big men in night clothes rushed over. They were still fifty meters away from the gate. They were immediately intercepted by the guards outside the gate: "Stop, what are you doing?"
"Please tell me, Lord Marquis, that Li Yao has something important to report." The big man with the dark mole at the corner of his eye cupped his hand and said.[
"Wait a moment, I'm going to report it right now." The middle-aged man who looked like the captain of the guard saw their frosty faces. He thought there was something urgent, so he didn't dare to neglect and hurried inside to report.
After a while, the guard captain strode out and said loudly: "You two, the Marquis invites you."
The two of them looked at each other quickly and stepped towards the gate of Lin Mansion with the same excitement. They knew that from this moment on, their identities and status would be different, and the tension and excitement in their hearts was indescribable.
After stepping into the door of the Lin family, the two of them walked hurriedly and arrived at the study of Lin Yuan, the head of the Lin family. They reached out and knocked on the door gently.
"It's Li Yao, Cheng Xu. Come in." As the door knocked, soon, a deep voice came from inside the door.
Taking a deep breath, the two carefully walked into the study through the door. They knelt down respectfully and saluted a handsome middle-aged man who was sitting at the desk reading: "See you, my subordinates."
Lord Marquis."
"Well, get up." Looking at the two people below, the middle-aged man nodded slightly and said. This middle-aged man is naturally Lin Yuan, the contemporary head of the Lin family. He is now the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and has great authority. In the Daqian Empire, especially
Like this now
In peacetime, if a family wants to grow, it must go through the efforts of several or even more generations. For example, the Ye family in Wangjiang City, the Lin family in Taicang City, the Jin family in Cangwu City, etc., all can be achieved through the efforts of several generations.
achieved its prominent position today.
Of course, there are some families that have risen rapidly, but since the Daqian Empire has been established for thousands of years, there are very few such families, and most of them are families of military generals who have made great achievements in the war years.
The Lin family has been established for thousands of years and has a deep foundation. It is a hereditary marquis family. In terms of foundation, even the Ye family in Wangjiang City can't match it.
"You two have been guarding Wangjiang City for five or six years, and now you suddenly come back, but there is news?" Looking at the two of them with bright eyes, Lin Yuan also asked with great expectancy.
"Master Marquis, my two subordinates have not dared to neglect in the past few years. They have been keeping watch day and night. Now they finally lived up to the request of the Marquis and found the King's Sword." Li Yao, who had a dark mole at the corner of his eye, couldn't wait to express his merit.
"What!" Hearing this, Lin Yuan, who was always known for his calmness, stood up suddenly. His eyes stared at him, and the beard on his chin began to tremble: "You mean... the King's Sword has been found.
Already?"
"Back to the Marquis, my subordinates will never dare to lie or deceive."
"Okay, okay, you have done a good job, and I will reward you greatly." Lin Yuan suppressed her excitement, praised it, and then asked: "Where is the King's Sword now?"
Cheng Xu quickly untied the cloth bag on his back, and was shocked. As the pieces of cloth flew and fell, he quickly revealed the magnificent broad sword that was filled with golden light.
"Is this the King's Sword?" Lin Yuan stared blankly at the golden broad sword and frowned slightly. He had never seen a real King's Sword, so he didn't know what the King's Sword looked like, but he had experienced
It's so rich. Just by looking at it, you can tell that this sword is more than gorgeous, but in terms of good and bad, it's just ordinary.
"Whoosh!"
He stretched out his right palm, and a suction force suddenly came from his right palm. The broad sword originally held in Cheng Xu's hand immediately flew into Lin Yuan's hand.
"Is it true that the true value of the King's Sword does not lie in the sword itself?" Lin Yuan held the King's Sword for a while and examined it. He felt more and more that this King's Sword was extremely ordinary, but he knew that the so-called return to nature meant that the more powerful the treasure, the more powerful it was.
It looks more and more ordinary, maybe this is the king's sword.[
"You two have worked hard in the past few years." Lin Yuan raised his head and glanced at Li Yao and Cheng Xu, then hesitantly said: "In this case, from now on you can go to 'Xianpan Mountain' to be a steward."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis." The two of them immediately knelt down excitedly to express their gratitude. Xianpan Mountain is rich in black iron ore, and black iron ore is the raw material for casting superior weapons. Going to Xuanpan Mountain to be a steward is not something you can do.
What an indispensable source of wealth.

"Well, let's go down." Lin Yuan nodded.
After they left, Lin Yuan quickly stepped forward and closed the door of the study room, took the 'King's Sword' and began to ponder it carefully. However, after pondering for four or five days, he did not find anything unusual.
place.
This afternoon, in Lin Yuan's study.
Lin Yuan sat helpless in front of the desk, looking at the gorgeous broad sword placed on the desk, frowning.
In the study, there were five people standing at this time. Among these five people, two of the young ones were Lin Yuan's sons, Lin Junmo and Lin Junqi, both of whom were talented people. The other three were older.
He is his loyal general.
"Master Marquis, the material of this King's Sword is ordinary. It is forged from the most common iron block, with a layer of gold powder on it." An old man in his fifties frowned and said: "The King's Sword is famous all over the world.
How could it be so ordinary?"
"Are you saying that Li Yao and Cheng Xu used fake swords to deceive me?" Lin Yuan pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "They have worked hard to lurk for five or six years, and they are considered loyal to me, so they should not do this.
"
"Dad, why don't we go out and try the sword to see how powerful this sword is?" Lin Junmo on the side suggested: "Since we got this King's Sword, because we know how precious it is, we don't dare to try the sword.
, for fear of damaging this sword, however, precisely because of this, we have to take the risk."
Lin Yuan's expression changed: "What Jun Mo said makes sense, okay, let's go to the martial arts field and try this sword."
After a while, the six people filed into the martial arts arena.
"Dad, let me try the sword." Lin Junmo asked Ying.
"The authenticity of this sword is unknown, and we don't know what dangers it hides. The young master must not take any risks." The fifty-year-old man shook his head repeatedly and said, "It is better to let my subordinates and Zhan Yuanqing try it."
"Uncle Sun, you are worrying too much. There are so many dangers." Lin Junmo said indifferently: "Let me try."
"Let Jun Mo and Yuan Qing give it a try." Lin Yuan waved his hand and said.
After hearing Lin Yuan's instructions, the old man stopped talking.
"Dangdangdang..."
After hearing Lin Yuan's instructions, the two immediately jumped off the field and quickly started fighting. The collision of the swords was crisp and sweet, sparks overflowed, and waves of Gang Qi flew around wantonly.
Lin Yuan frowned and watched their fight. For some reason, an unknown feeling suddenly arose in her heart.
"Be careful!" Suddenly, Lin Junmo shouted loudly, and the 'King's Sword' thrust rapidly and fiercely towards Zhan Yuanqing.
"Ding!" Zhan Yuanqing subconsciously blocked the horizontal sword, and when the two swords touched each other, they immediately made a crisp and soft sound.[
"Abandon the sword, retreat quickly!" At this moment, Lin Yuan's face suddenly changed, and he shouted loudly. He stretched out one hand, and it stretched to the limit, turning into a translucent giant palm, between the lightning and flint.
He grabbed one of Lin Junmo's arms and pulled him back vigorously.
at the same time
"boom!"
A loud bang sounded from the point where the two swords came into contact, and the powerful power quickly spread to the surroundings.
"Ah!" Lin Junmo screamed, and one of his left arms was immediately blown into ashes. If Lin Yuan had been a step slower, his whole body might have been wiped out.
"Master Marquis, Zhan Yuanqing is dead." He stepped forward to check on Zhan Yuanqing who was lying on the ground. The old man said in a deep voice, Zhan Yuanqing is a master of the ninth level of the spiritual fetus realm.
He had the hope of entering the realm of rebirth and was considered to be the leader of the Lin family. But now without checking, even though he was possessed by Zhenqi in a hurry, his muscles and veins were severed by the powerful shock wave, and he became a cripple.
Lin Yuan's face was ashen, and her whole body was shaking slightly. She looked at Lin Junmo, who had fainted from the pain, and gritted her teeth and said, "Bring Li Yao and Cheng Xu to see me."
In Linyuan's study.
Li Yao and Cheng Xu were lying on the ground, trembling slightly.
"You two bastards, how dare you frame me, I will kill all nine of your clans!" Lin Yuan roared. He has three sons and one daughter. Although his eldest son Lin Junmo is not the best, he is deeply loved by him. Now,
An arm was blown off and it could be said that it was basically disabled. How could he not be angry?
"Hou... Lord Hou, please spare my life!" Li Yao kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic: "The two of my subordinates are highly valued by Lord Hou, and they have worked conscientiously for the past five or six years. Even if my subordinates were very brave, they would not dare to frame Lord Hou.
Lord Marquis, please take a closer look."
"Master Marquis, there are seniors and juniors all in Taicang City. I have to take care of them even if I risk my own life. How dare I do such a stupid thing?" Cheng Xu also said.
Lin Yuan's face was as gloomy as water, and he snorted: "Tell me how you got the fake sword. Don't miss a word."
"Yes, Lord Marquis." Li Yao nodded repeatedly: "That night, Cheng Xu and I originally discussed going in to scare them, so that they would panic and expose the location of the King's Sword in a hurry. However, before we even entered,
I heard Lin Junyi talking to himself..." Li Yao immediately told the story of that night in detail.
"Talking to yourself?" Lin Yuan frowned: "It's such a coincidence. Did he discover your whereabouts and was he pretending to do it on purpose?"
Li Yao laughed dumbly and said: "Master Hou, this is simply impossible. That guy is stupid and his skills are very poor. Cheng Xu and I are both warriors above the spirit fetus realm. There is no way he knows our whereabouts."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly. Although he didn't know much about Lin Junyi, because he didn't look down on such people at all, but how capable a sixteen-year-old boy was. If he wasn't cheating, then who was?
?
"Master Hou, do you think the sword Lin Chong gave them was a fake sword?" Li Yao said suddenly.
Lin Yuan thought. This was very possible. Although Lin Chong was a military general, he was very talented and thoughtful. He would not have expected that after his death, he would target his two sons.
"How are the two children doing now?" Lin Yuan suddenly asked.
"Going back to the Marquis, the elder Lin Jun'ao seems to have joined the army, and the younger one is studying at the Liberal Arts School of Haoyue Academy." Cheng Xu returned respectfully.
"Joined the army?" Lin Yuan nodded. It was not easy to get ahead in the army. He pondered for a moment and said sinisterly: "When Lin Chong was born and died, the two brothers were ten and eight years old. The younger one focused on studying literature.
, If it cannot become a great weapon, Lin Chong will not tell him the news about the King's Sword. If he wants to tell him, he will only tell the big one. In the future, you don't have to keep an eye on the little one, and send someone to kill him."
