Beauty and the Bodyguard

With Lin Yi's full support this time, coupled with his own connections, the chance of getting four out of seven votes is not only possible, but also not small!

 This is doable!

Li Zhulong was determined and immediately expressed his stance: "Thank you very much, Mr. Lin, for giving me this opportunity. No matter whether it succeeds or not, I, the Li family of Fengtian Mansion, will accept your love. I will definitely be Mr. Lin's most loyal ally and staunchest supporter in the future." supporter!"

What an old fox.

This time not only Lin Yi, but also Cheng Shuang'er on the side could see it.

 Compared with competing for the position of Taifu, the other party is actually more interested in taking the opportunity to tie Lin Yi to death and officially join Lin Yi's camp as an ally.

As for whether he can ascend to the position of Taifu, it would be best if he could succeed. Even if he could not, the Li family would not suffer much loss.

As long as he can get closer to Lin Yi, and even closer to the Zhao Palace, it will be a sure profit for him.

Lin Yi reminded quietly: "The most important thing is loyalty to the emperor."

“Yes, yes, my Li family is infinitely loyal to Your Majesty.”

Li Zhulong agreed with all his words, but he was slightly puzzled in his heart.

 Being loyal to the Emperor of Zhou is the political correctness of the inner court. Even the King of Qin shouted this verbally, but only verbally.

At the moment, it is a private negotiation between him and Lin Yi. No one can hear it behind closed doors. Why are you shouting this slogan?

Is it possible that Lin Yi is really a die-hard loyalist of Emperor Zhou?

 Li Zhulong doesn't look like him no matter how he looks at it.

Lin Yi, a shrewd person to the core, could just use the influence of Emperor Zhou to strengthen himself, but it was absolutely impossible for him to be buried with Emperor Zhou.

 In the long run, there would be no future for following Emperor Zhou. He definitely didn't believe that Lin Yi couldn't see such an obvious thing.

But immediately, he understood why Lin Yi said this.

Lin Yi shook the tea cup gently and said in a calm tone: "If you want to be the Tutor, you must first get the emperor's nod. Otherwise, even if you pass the recommendation of the seven kings, you will not be able to succeed."

 The meat show is coming.

Li Zhulong's heart trembled: "Then how can we make the emperor nod?"

Lin Yi seemed to say casually: "Wu Hou has been transferred to the ninth floor of the Tianlao. The emperor is very concerned about his situation and needs to find someone who knows the basics to go in and explore the situation. Your son Li Tianchong is very suitable."

"impossible!"

Li Zhulong stood up suddenly in shock. The atmosphere that was harmonious just now suddenly became tense.

Li Zhulong cannot be unclear about what the ninth floor of the Heavenly Prison is like. It is no exaggeration to say that anyone who enters is equivalent to giving up half his life.

　　It is not up to you to decide when to take away at least the remaining half of your life, but God has the final say.

Li Tianchong was his only son. Even if he publicly joined forces with Li Jianlong to defeat his superiors, his importance in his eyes never fluctuated even a little bit.

Cheng Shuang'er hesitated to speak, wanting to speak to help lighten the atmosphere.

However, when I saw old man Lin Yi drinking tea without any emotion, I immediately understood what Lin Yi meant and was deeply impressed.

Sure enough, seeing Lin Yi's dull reaction, Li Zhulong was excited for a moment and then quickly calmed down.

“Mr. Lin, you have given me a big problem.”

Li Zhulong smiled bitterly.

 He has realized that today's matter was not a multiple-choice question from the beginning, but a must-choose question. Since Lin Yi chose him, he had to agree even if he didn't agree, otherwise his son Li Tianchong would not be the only one who would be thrown into the prison.

Don’t forget, the review of the Li family in Fengtian Prefecture is not over yet.

With the matter of Li Jianlong there, if Lin Yi wanted to destroy his Li family, he didn't even need to fabricate anything at all, everything was ready-made.

 After all, there is such a big case like Li Jianlong, and the Li family of Fengtian Prefecture comes out and says that they are clean. Who would believe it?

Lin Yi said unhurriedly: "Master Li, there is no need to be too resistant in this matter. As a father, you know the problems with Li Tianchong better than we do. If you don't temper yourself, sooner or later it will cause problems in the future." When a bigger disaster comes, it’s hard to say whether your Li family will be able to survive the danger."

These words were a threat, but Li Zhulong could not refute it.

 Because his son Li Tianchong is indeed like a bird.

Li Tianchong is not the **** in the traditional perception. On the contrary, among the second generation group, he is considered to be a very motivated one.

 But for a super family like the Li family of Fengtian Prefecture, what they fear has never been a naughty boy in the family.

Given his family's wealth, no matter how many dandies spend hundreds or thousands of years, they can't squander such a strong family fortune.

 What they fear most is precisely this kind of highly motivated children.

Just like provoking Lin Yi this time, if you are not careful, it will bring disaster to the entire family!

In the past few days, although Li Tianchong said that he had become more honest after suffering a big loss, he still criticized Lin Yi a lot in his words. He wanted to get the Li family out of Lin Yi's clutches, which is true. Li Zhulong was frightened.

 To put it bluntly, although this guy suffered a loss at the hands of Lin Yi, he never learned a lesson at all.

 In the long run, it will be a matter of time before you get into trouble again.

Lin Yi slowly put away his smile: "I value our friendship very much, but I don't put sand in my eyes either."

Li Zhulong was sweating profusely: "Please rest assured, Mr. Lin, I will discipline the dog well and never let him cause trouble again."

“Parents who love their children have far-reaching plans.”

Lin Yi looked at him and said solemnly: "Do you really think you can control him for the rest of your life?"

 Li Zhulong was speechless.

It is natural that he does not understand these principles, but once they are implemented at the implementation level, they will inevitably become distorted.

Lin Yi said in a sincere tone: "This is a good opportunity for him to really experience it. When he comes back, it may be very different."

Li Zhulong smiled helplessly and said: "That's the ninth floor of the prison. Once you go in, can you come back?"

Lin Yi said seriously: "This matter concerns Marquis Wu, and the Emperor is watching over it. I will take charge of it myself. The Li family mainly thinks that I can't even guarantee this, so I have nothing to say."

 “No, no, there are only ten thousand people who believe in Master Lin’s ability.”

 Li Zhulong said quickly.

Just kidding, the other party can kill Xiao Mang at any time. What kind of method is that? The entire top circle of the inner court is still in shock until now.

 He was really convinced by Lin Yi's methods. This was no mere pretense.

In the end, Li Zhulong finally made up his mind: "Forget it, since Tianchong is a descendant of my Li family, it is only natural for him to go through fire and water for the sake of the family. I will give him orders now."
