While Wei Min and Wang Xingliang were fighting each other, Lin Xiao, Fang Tianguang, and Lin Yunying were drinking and chatting merrily in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Lin Xiao, well done!"
Fang Tianguang drank a cup of wine and looked at Lin Xiao with admiration. "You made an example of Wang Batian's men. You made Wang Batian's men afraid and enraged him. At the same time, you won their hearts!"
"Uncle, you flatter me!"
Hearing Fang Tianguang's words, Lin Xiao smiled modestly.
Fang Tianguang shook his head and said, "I'm not praising you. I'm just telling the truth!
You're really good!
What are you going to do next? "
"I can't just keep killing people."
Lin Xiao pondered for a moment and revealed a confident smile as he continued, "Next, I only need to do some gentle things to win over the hearts of the people.
Wang Batian sees me as a thorn in his side. Even if I don't do anything, I'm afraid he'll want to get rid of me. If he sees me winning their hearts, he won't be able to sit still! "
"That's great!"
As the Prime Minister of the Great Spring Dynasty, Fang Tianguang was definitely a strategist. Of course, he knew what Lin Xiao was thinking. He patted his shoulder and said, "The descendant of the Emperor Equals is really extraordinary!
In terms of strategy and martial arts, you're outstanding! "
"Uncle, don't praise me anymore!"
Lin Xiao was a little embarrassed by Fang Tianguang's praise. He couldn't help but laugh.
Early the next morning, Lin Xiao left the Prime Minister's Mansion and went to a square in the north of the city. He asked the soldiers to deliver a lot of food.
That's right!
What he was going to do today was to give out food and porridge!
In this way, not only could he win the hearts of the people and make them submit to him willingly, but it would also be easy for Wang Batian to hear about it.
After all, giving out food and porridge was such a big thing that it was impossible to hide it.
"People, I'm Lin Xiao, Heavenly King Xiao, the descendant of the Emperor Equal to the Emperor himself!"
Lin Xiao stood on the platform and first introduced himself to the citizens. After all, not all the citizens knew his identity. He did this to let the citizens remember his name and origins!
He was a descendant of the Lin family!
Sure enough, some people who didn't know the relationship between Lin Xiao and Lin Xiaotian became excited when they heard this and talked about it.
"So you are the descendant of the Emperor Equal to the Emperor. No wonder you are so kind-hearted!"
"God has mercy on us. The Great Spring Dynasty hasn't given us food for a long time. When the Emperor Equals One was alive, we were living a good life!"
"That's right. It's a pity that such a good person like Prince Lin died so young!"
"What do you mean by dying young? Maybe Wang Batian is behind this!"
…
Hearing the discussions of the people, a hidden hatred flashed across Lin Xiao's eyes.
He took a deep breath, restrained his emotions, and continued, "Our Lin family's motto is that the people are the foundation of the country!
Therefore, when I returned to Sky Spring City, I wanted to do something for us commoners!
Only with you can our Great Spring Dynasty prosper and prosper!
These are some of our food. Take it out and share it with everyone! "
"Thank you, Heavenly King Xiao!"
The citizens were very touched when they heard Lin Xiao's words.
Previously, Lin Xiao had made the decision for them and killed Wei Zhifang, which made them feel very satisfied. Now that Lin Xiao had given them food, they were even more grateful.
For a time, the streets and alleys were full of praises for Lin Xiao.
These praises spread to the palace, causing Wang Batian's face to turn pale. He scolded Wang Xingliang, "It's all your bad idea!
Now, Lin Xiao is back under our nose, but he's making things difficult for me right under my nose. I can't do anything to him! "
"I …"
When Lord Linjiang heard this, he felt very aggrieved.
During this period of time, because of Wei Zhifang's death, Wei Min had been crying and throwing a tantrum with him. He had long been annoyed. Now that he had finally come to the palace to hide, he had to be scolded by his father.
What could he do?
When Wang Tianli heard this, she gritted her teeth in anger and said, "Father, in my opinion, it's all because that Lin Xiao is too shameless!
He killed grandfather and now he's trying to win over the people at the foot of the Emperor. It's obvious that he has ulterior motives! "
"Ulterior motives?"
When Wang Batian heard this, he snorted coldly and said angrily, "Do you think I don't know?
But so what if I know? Don't tell me I'm going to decree his death?
He's Lin Xiaotian's descendant. If I issue an edict today, I'm afraid the people of Sky Spring City will rebel! "
"So what if they rebel?
They're just a bunch of mobs! "
When Wang Tianli heard this, she narrowed her eyes and said fiercely.
Ever since Lin Xiao killed her grandfather, she and Lin Xiao were irreconcilable enemies. If she couldn't kill Lin Xiao for revenge, she wouldn't agree to it no matter what.
Just as Wang Batian was feeling helpless, a young eunuch rushed in in a fluster.
When Wang Batian saw how flustered the young eunuch was, he pressed a hand to his temple and asked helplessly, "Why are you so flustered? What's going on?"
"It's … it's Heavenly King Xiaotian!"
The young eunuch glanced at Wang Xingliang and stammered, "He … he broke into Lord Linjiang's residence and said he's going to raid it!"
"What!"
When Wang Xingliang heard this, he slammed the table and stood up, his veins bulging, "Is he trying to rebel? How dare he break into my residence!"
"In reply to Lord Linjiang, this is what happened.
Heavenly King Xiao brought many carriages to distribute food, but there was too little food and too many people. There wasn't enough food to go around, so Heavenly King Xiao said he wanted to borrow some food from your residence! "When the young eunuch heard Wang Xingliang's words, he braced himself and said.
"Borrow food?"
Wang Xingliang furrowed his brows tightly and said angrily, "How is this borrowing food? This is clearly a blatant robbery!
Imperial Father, I must return to the Prince's Mansion immediately. Otherwise, my Prince's Mansion will be gone! "
"Go!"
Wang Batian massaged his temples and let Wang Xingliang go back.
Lin Xiao was now lawless. Not only did he distribute food privately, he even dared to rob food from Lord Linjiang's residence. He was sure that Wang Batian wouldn't dare to do anything!
How despicable!
When Wang Tianli saw this scene, she gritted her teeth in anger, "Father, Lin Xiao is already so arrogant. Are you going to sit here and wait for death?"
"I want to do something, but if I do it now, it will only make things worse!"
Wang Batian hadn't lost his mind. He knew that Lin Xiao was doing this to provoke him so that he would attack him. This would give the Southern Legion a chance to attack!
Now that the strongest of the three legions, the Southern Legion, was under Lin Xiao's control, he couldn't give Lin Xiao a reason to attack!
