Even if Liang Xing managed to deceive the authority of the Sanshui Army, with their own forces, it would be easy for them to stop him from claiming the title of king. But in this period of time, the generals leading Qiu Zhen had not done anything, it was obvious that he was doing it on purpose to indulge Liang Xing, and after he proclaimed himself king, their side was forced into a corner, and they could only use strong means to eliminate Liang Xing and the so-called imperial court he formed.
Le Tian seemed to understand something but he was clear on one thing. They could no longer stay in Shang Jing anymore and had to rush back to the Feng Country. He said with a stern expression: "Master, we must set off immediately and return to the Yan City, otherwise if we let this king, Liang Xing, continue living for too long and obtain the approval of the citizens, it will be extremely disadvantageous for us!" "Hehe!" Tang Yin rolled his eyes, laughed lightly, and said: "Since Qiu Zhen is willing to allow Liang Xing to be called king, then he should have a way to make Liang Xing, the Sovereign King, unable to sit steadily, no need to worry." "But …" Their own backyard was on fire, Le Tian could not be at ease. Looking at the confident Tang Yin, he was really confused. He asked, "My lord, what...?" "What do we do now?" "Wait here." "What are you waiting for?" "Wait three days, then we will return to Feng Country." Tang Yin said as if he was thinking about something.
Three days? Le Tian, Jiang Fan and Jiang Lou were all stunned, they did not understand why Master would waste three days in Shang Jing after such a huge incident in the capital. But seeing that Tang Yin no longer had any intentions to say anymore, everyone could only nod their heads and agree.
The next day, Tang Yin woke up very early and called Le Tian over. He got him to buy some books to kill time. Tang Yin did not really like reading books, but in this era, there was no entertainment that could interest him. Furthermore, there was currently a mysterious Spirit Cultivator of Dark eyeing him, he did not want to go out and cause trouble.
On Tang Yin's orders, Le Tian brought a few Sky Eye personnel who were familiar with the topography of Shang Jing to walk around outside, bringing back a large amount of books, with all kinds of contents, ranging from astronomy to geography, all the way until now.
Tang Yin brought these books to his room and casually flipped through them.
During the entire day, Tang Yin had almost never moved from his room; he was just reading, eating, and sleeping. On the second day, Tang Yin was still the same as always. He did not leave his house and continued to study in his room. On the third day, seeing that Tang Yin was still holding back, Le Tian, Jiang Fan and Jiang Lou were all dumbfounded.
The three of them muttered outside Tang Yin's room: "Why does Master keep himself in his room all day? Is it... "Sick?" "The lord eats three meals a day, and he eats quite a lot at every meal. How can he be ill?" "It could be a heart attack!" "Because of the Yan City?" "That may not be so, perhaps it has something to do with your highness …" Just as the three were discussing softly, the door suddenly opened. Tang Yin walked out. Seeing this, the three of them were shocked. They nervously said, "Sir …" "We just happened to pass by, and we didn't want to disturb the lord's reading …" Tang Yin looked at the three of them strangely, and said in bafflement: "I'm going to the toilet." In the afternoon, Le Tian, Jiang Fan and Jiang Lou had already started packing for their journey back. Tang Yin had said that he would be staying in Shang Jing for another three days. Now, two and a half days had already passed, and he could return to the Feng Country tomorrow morning.
Just as the three were busy packing up, Xiao Min came over.
Xiao Min was Yin Rou's Guard Captain, Le Tian and the rest did not dare delay and quickly reported it to Tang Yin. Tang Yin, who was in his room reading without even glancing at anything, heard the news of Xiao Min's arrival. Her expression momentarily flashed with relief, but quickly returned to normal. Not long after, Xiao Min walked in from the outside. Seeing the high books on the table, she was also startled. She looked at Tang Yin in surprise and said, "I never knew that you liked reading books." Tang Yin did not blush and said as a matter of fact, "As the saying goes, you should learn from the beginning until the end!" "How come I've never heard of such a thing?!" Xiao Min muttered.
Tang Yin changed the subject and laughed: "Xiao Min, why have you come to find me?" Hearing that, Xiao Min immediately held her head high and stuck out her chest, with her hands behind her back, she walked over to Tang Yin and casually picked up a book, after flipping through it for a few times, she sighed.
Tang Yin was happy, he tilted his head and smiled at Xiao Min.
After putting down the book, Xiao Min suddenly bent down and leaned in close to Tang Yin and asked: "How do you want to thank me?" Tang Yin looked at the big eyes that were leaning in front of him, and raised his eyebrows in confusion.
Xiao Min stared at him for two seconds before she stood up proudly and said, "Her Majesty has summoned you to the palace." Ouch! These casual words made Tang Yin's heart jump, and almost pop out of her throat. The reason he said he would stay in Shang Jing for three days was because of this news. He did not know whether Yin Rou would speak up for him in front of the Son of Heaven, and did not know if the Son of Heaven would listen to Yin Rou, or if the Emperor would summon him, he was even more unsure, so he decided to wait at Shang Jing for three days. If there was no news after three days, he would return to her Yan City and take care of the chaos that had occurred in her backyard.
After a moment of silence, Tang Yin calmly lifted his head and asked: "Is it now?" It would be a great honor to be summoned by the Son of Heaven, but on Tang Yin's face, Xiao Min did not see any happiness at all. "Are you unhappy?" "Of course not." The corner of Tang Yin's mouth rose.
"What a weirdo." Xiao Min could not see through Tang Yin's thoughts and naturally classified him as a strange person.
Tang Yin did not mind, instead he cupped his hands and said: "This time, it was all thanks to Xiao Min's help." "Don't thank me!" Xiao Min waved his hand and said, "The reason the Son of Heaven summoned you was because of the princess. "In the past two days, the princess has spoken a lot of good words for the Son of Heaven, and her words were so thin that they seemed as if they were about to be worn out." "Naturally, I am deeply grateful to your highness." Tang Yin was not a sweet talker, her words made people feel awkward.
Xiao Min unhappily rolled her eyes at Tang Yin and said, "There are many things that you can't just talk about!" After pausing for a moment, she seriously asked, "If you really become the Feng King, will you stop the princess from marrying Li Dan?" This was the problem that Xiao Min was most concerned about. Yin Rou did not like Li Dan, and was even less willing to marry Li Dan. Xiao Min could naturally see that she did not wish for the princess to be unhappy for her entire life.
Tang Yin squinted his eyes and said faintly: "I will." Xiao Min asked: "What will you do then?" Tang Yin asked slowly, word by word, "Is it a good way to recruit Zhen Country?" Xiao Min was shocked, and said: "Dispatching troops to recruit Zhen Country? Are you crazy? "If you do that, you will become the target of public criticism, and you may even be put at the beck and call of the other kingdoms!" "So what?" Tang Yin scoffed, and said: "What kind of man is a man, giving his beloved woman to another man?!" Xiao Min looked at Tang Yin in silence for a long time. If Tang Yin would really do as he said, she would rather Tang Yin not become the Feng King. However, most of the things were things that a mere Guard Captain like her could not stop.
The last time Tang Yin entered the palace, he was sneakily brought in by Xiao Min, but this time, he was summoned by the Son of Heaven into the palace in broad daylight.
The southern gate of the palace was the main gate. It was much larger and more imposing than the other palace gates. The armored guards on both sides of the palace were like a forest.
The Son of Heaven was not summoning Tang Yin at the main hall of the palace, but rather, in the study room.
The Son of Heaven's study was not much different from a palace. There were tens of thousands of books inside, but the spacious study still seemed empty. As long as one spoke loudly, they would be able to respond. Without even waiting to enter the study, Tang Yin had been stopped by several guards outside the courtyard. They carefully searched all over his body, and after confirming that there were no sharp weapons, they let him in.
When he walked to the door of the study, Tang Yin was stopped by a few guards, one of them used Arts of Clairvoyance to observe him, and then nodded to the people beside him. Seeing that, another person took out a Spirit-dispersed Pill and passed it to Tang Yin, for him to consume.
He didn't know that if he wanted to see the Son of Heaven, he would have to make such a small rule, and even scatter his spiritual qi. At this moment, he was hesitating. If he were to disperse his spiritual energy, he would be no different from a normal person. What if an accident were to happen? Without time to think, the surrounding guards all stared at him. Tang Yin made up his mind, took the Spirit-dispersed Pill and swallowed it.
After waiting for a while, the guard who had used the Arts of Clairvoyance to probe Tang Yin once again, and after confirming that all of his spirit energy was gone, he turned around, opened the door to the study room, and said, "Master Tang, please enter!" Reaching here, Xiao Min could no longer follow Tang Yin in. Although she was Yin Rou's Guard Captain, but without the Son of Heaven's special summons, she had no right to enter his study.
Tang Yin turned to look at Xiao Min and saw the latter nodding to him. Then, he walked into the study.
The floor of the study was covered with the same color of black marble, it was polished to the point that it looked shiny and smooth, just like a mirror, if one looked down, they would be able to see their own reflection clearly. Looking around, regardless of whether one was looking at the books or not, the interior of the study was covered with resplendent gold and jade, whether it was the bookshelves or the roof beams, both were embedded with gold and silver jade.
Just as he was raising his eyes to look, a sweet voice came from his side, "Please come in, my lord." Tang Yin turned to look and saw that there was a fifteen to sixteen-year-old little palace maid standing at the door. She had a pretty face and a humble demeanor, with her hands in front of her and her head lowered as she led the way.
He followed the young palace maid into the inner room of the study. On the seating area, he saw two people, a man and a woman, both quite young, and recognized the young girl, Tang Yin, who was as beautiful as a fairy. He was none other than Yin Rou.
