Chapter 575 An Unpleasant Banquet
"Brother Su is young, and he will have a promising future."
In the palace, a group of people surrounded Su Lin and Ding Pingzhou. They were all here to curry favor with him. Ding Pingzhou had long been accustomed to this.
But Su Lin was different. He just thought these guys were chattering and very noisy.
If it weren't for Ding Pingzhou's face, these people would have to lie on the ground without even thinking of getting within three meters.
Look at how fat and strong they are, with greasy faces, what's the difference between them and fat pigs?
"Humph."
Su Lin just sneered at their so-called flattering words.
Ding Pingzhou also had a little understanding of Su Lin's character, so he immediately admonished his colleagues, worrying that if they continued like this, their lives would be in danger.
In the court just now, he had seen that Su Lin was fearless and the palace could not do anything to him.
"Please go back, Brother Su Lin, you are tired from the journey. If there is a chance in the future, we can have tea and chat in detail."
The so-called Northern Kingdom court officials were willing to leave, but they all sighed secretly, thinking that they had no relationship. If the court was turbulent and the reckoning was made in the future, they would be the unlucky ones.
It is estimated that there will be all kinds of gifts in the Ding Mansion in the next few days.
"I say, Lord Ding, you are really experienced." Su Lin laughed and teased Ding Pingzhou.
Compared to the previous meeting in Lanzhou, Ding Pingzhou has changed a lot at this moment, and it has only been more than a month.
It seems that what can change people is really the environment.
Fortunately, he only learned the principles of survival in the officialdom, and did not learn to make money like them, otherwise, Su Lin would not regard him as a friend at all.
Along the way, the two laughed and talked about the current situation.
"Hmph, it looks chaotic, but it's actually very simple, it's just a fight for power and profit."
Su Lin has seen through the overall situation, and now the situation can be said to be completely under his control. Yunlan Sect and Shenwu Sect, I'm afraid they will have to stand on his side at the critical moment.
I didn't say that before, it was not bragging. As long as Su Lin wants, the throne of the king of the Northern Kingdom may be given to him at any time.
This is the confidence of speaking.
At night, in the palace.
A grand banquet is being held, and the guests are all big shots, but almost everyone's eyes are on the door, they are waiting for a heavyweight.
It's not the king of the Northern Kingdom, but a seemingly fledgling boy, Su Lin.
"Brother, is Su Lin really that scary? I think he is just a bad boy! We will deal with him after we leave the palace."
Jiang Tai was so frightened when he heard the conversation between the eldest and second brothers. He emphasized again: "Two brothers, you should know that the Seven-Colored Lotus is in his hand and can be driven. If you do it, I am afraid."
This sentence really woke the dreamer. The two elders of Yunlan Sect trembled all over.
They really didn't think of this before, because the Seven-Colored Lotus is the treasure of Yunlan Sect. It is naturally imprisoned and ordinary people can't drive it.
Su Lin is an exception!
"Oh, Su Yingxiong is finally here."
Seeing the figures of Su Lin and Ding Pingzhou appear, a group of people immediately surrounded them and showed their courtesy.
Whether it is those ambitious guys or officials who want to protect themselves, they all want to win over Su Lin and get in touch with him at this moment.
Especially the two princes who hold military power, just after the court was dismissed, they found out about Su Lin's ability through various gossips.
This is related to success or failure, and it is even more costly. They have already ordered to accept it and send a big gift to the Ding Mansion.
Su Lin naturally treats these people coldly. He observes here and tries to find the figure of one person among them, which is Prince Zhang.
But it seems that he is not there?
He has never been seen in the court before, which makes people puzzled. Logically speaking, he should hold on to this good opportunity and come to the evil first.
Otherwise, if he loses the initiative, what is the point of coming to this capital? Instead, he will fall into the trap.
Ding Pingzhou saw Su Lin's doubts. He had already learned about the Lincheng County, so he signaled him not to worry.
Recently, the fat emperor has kept Ding Pingzhou by his side. He can check even the memorials of the civil and military officials in the court and the confidential military reports. It can be said that he trusts him extremely.
If there is a memorial from Prince Zhang, there is a chance to withhold it.
"Please come in!" The fat emperor also put his status low at this moment, not caring about his attitude at all. As long as he could ask for Su Lin's help, his battle for power would be stable.
Seeing this, everyone was secretly amazed in their hearts. This posture is rare in a century.
A king of a country actually bowed to a young man? Just treat him like the emperor.
A banquet is nothing more than drinking and eating.
But many people today are not interested in this, and they all throw olive branches to Su Lin in their words.
"I am just an ordinary person. You princes, nobles, and adults don't have to be so polite to me." His low-key remarks made many people admire him even more.
Soon, the main topic came.
The two elders of Yunlan Sect attacked again, and actually accused Su Lin of killing his disciples of Yunlan Sect in front of everyone. It was really hateful, and asked the fat emperor to bring him to justice.
This statement was obviously not human at all. The fat emperor was too late to curry favor with him now, so why offend Su Lin for Yunlan Sect?
In his eyes, Su Lin's ability is much stronger than Yunlan Sect's. This can be seen from the fact that he is not afraid at all in front of the three elders.
"Oh? Really? But today is just a welcome banquet for you all. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to talk about these things, right?"
Obviously, there was displeasure in his words.
This directly made the two elders of Yunlan Sect suffer a loss, and Jiang Tai stepped out to liven up the atmosphere, "Everyone, my two senior brothers are just joking, don't mind it."
This banquet is destined to be unhappy and full of intrigue.
Su Lin seemed to be in an invincible position. Before he took action, he broke the confidence of his opponent, and Yunlan Sect had to consider negotiating with him.
But from beginning to end, Jiang Yuyan of Shenwu Sect did not speak, and Su Lin looked over curiously.
This dignified Shenwu Sect's eldest sister, the first disciple of the master, came to the meeting on behalf of the sect, but she didn't say a word? It was completely inconsistent with her character that was similar to that of a strong woman.
There was only one possibility, he didn't want to be involved in this disaster.
"Su Yingxiong is really amazing. If he can enter the officialdom, it will really benefit the people."
The fat emperor said, expressing his intention to win him over.
Seeing this, the two princes did not shy away from taking the lead. They were not afraid of this guy's authority at all and directly said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, Brother Su has such a high level of martial arts skills that he should join the army to play a greater role."
