Zhao Kuangyin sat in the main seat without any doubt. Zhao Defang and Zhu Lin sat beside him. Zhao Kuangyin didn't say anything. He picked up the wine glass and stood up and said, "In the two months since I left Kaifeng, I would like to thank you for protecting the safety of the Zhao Mansion. Zhao thanked me here!"

Lin Jianjia glanced at Zhao Kuangyin. This man had aura and was majestic enough, but at the same time, he did not despise or care about his subordinates. He was at the gate of the Zhao mansion just now, and someone else would definitely be unhappy, but Zhao Kuangyin actually hid his emotions so well and even took the initiative to invite her to the mansion to attend the banquet.

It’s not unreasonable that Zhao Kuangyin can become the Imperial Marshal.

Lin Jianjia took a sip of tea. At this time, Zhao Kuangyin sat back on his seat. He said to Lin Jianjia: "Miss Lin, are you still used to the food in Zhao's mansion?"

Every table in the banquet hall was filled with birds and beasts, and such food was even more abundant than in the palace. Zhao Kuangyin asked this just to start talking.

Lin Jianjia smiled gently: "It's all okay."

"Hey, I didn't expect that a noble person like Miss Lin would come to Zhao's mansion today. Otherwise, we would prepare more food." Zhao Kuangyin paused for a moment and said, "Miss Lin... what happened five years ago..."

Lin Jianjia said lightly: "General Zhao, Prime Minister Li Feng sent someone to slaughter my whole family. I have already avenged this revenge, and all his accomplices have been eliminated. As for those rumors in the market, I have never heard of them."

"That's good. The rumors in the market are sometimes really harmful, but the rumors are only for wise men. I believe that people like Miss Lin will not believe them." Zhao Kuangyin was very happy. He had also heard of the news that Li Feng and his accomplices were eradicated. In this way, all those who could stop him had disappeared.

Zhao Kuangyin hesitated for a moment, and he asked, "Miss Lin, I heard that you were from Li Feng and the others before, and they were also the core figure of his group. I just don't know about this... is it a rumor?"

Lin Jianjia glanced at Zhu Lin, and Zhu Lin understood. He took over and said, "General Zhao, this is not a rumor. Jianjia was indeed the core figure of Li Feng's group before, and she was under Li Feng."

Shi Shouxin and Wang Shenqi exchanged their eyes, and Zhao Kuangyin's table suddenly became very quiet.

"But, Jianjia did this to get close to Li Feng." Zhu Lin smiled and said, "Jianjia was so powerful at the beginning. If she wanted to take revenge, she had to get close to Li Feng and join them so that she had the chance to get revenge for her family."

"In the past two months after General Zhao left, Jianjia contacted me, and then made plans on both sides to eliminate the rebel Li Feng in one fell swoop!"

Zhao Qian frowned slightly. When Lin Jianjia attacked Zhao's mansion that day, she didn't seem to be acting. Her competition with Zhu Lin was completely serious. Zhao Qian immediately heard that Zhu Lin was lying.

Zhao Kuangyin laughed and said that there were many loopholes in this story, such as why would a cautious person like Li Feng believe in Lin Jianjia? However, Zhao Kuangyin didn't care. What he wanted was just a story.

The result now is that the entire Li Feng group was wiped out. If Lin Jianjia came to see him, Zhao Kuangyin could understand what Zhu Lin was thinking. Of course, he would not speak out to expose Zhu Lin's words. What he wanted to do was to cooperate with Zhu Lin.

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said, "Miss Lin is really a hero among girls. She has endured humiliation for so long to avenge her family. I admire her! Don't worry, I will let the emperor overturn the case for the Lin family tomorrow, and I will also seek an official position in the court."

Zhao Qian opened her mouth and didn't say anything. This was too kind to treat her. There were very few female officials in all dynasties, and even if there were, she wouldn't be a high-ranking official. Now that Zhao Kuangyin has given such benefits, he has really invested a lot of money.

"This is really what I want to say." Zhu Lin pondered: "General Zhao, I thanked you for your kindness, but I, Lin Jianjia and Qing'er, may be leaving."

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned and was leaving? To be honest, he was already used to Zhu Lin's existence, and even vaguely, he had regarded Zhu Lin as his confidant. In order to keep him, Zhao Kuangyin even made the conditions to marry Zhao Qian to him.

But Zhao Kuangyin did not expect that Zhu Lin finally rejected him.

Zhao Qian felt a little disappointed. Although she had no feelings for Zhu Lin, she had become accustomed to Zhu Lin being by her side after so long.

This man, whether in his ability or in character, is so trustworthy.

Shi Shouxin was silent for a while, and he asked, "Young Master Zhu, do you have to leave?"

"Yeah!" Zhu Lin looked at Zhao Kuangyin and said, "General Zhao, there is no banquet that will last forever. My purpose of this trip has been achieved, and it is time to leave."

Zhu Lin glanced at the entourage behind Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin knew it. He waved his hand behind and bowed and left.

Seeing that there were only one person in the banquet hall, Zhu Lin said: "General Zhao doesn't have to be disappointed. The separation is only temporary. We will come back in about a year and then help General Zhao achieve great achievements again."

The Yin and Yang magic in Zhu Lin's body spread out and drew a map in the air. This is the map of the entire Jiuzhou of China.

Zhu Lin said seriously: "General Zhao, since they are all their own people, I will just say that the new emperor is in decline, the royal sect and the traitors of the six counties have been eliminated. Now what General Zhao has to do is to take over the throne from the new emperor and then control the authority of the empire."

General Zhao nodded slightly. Those who do not want to do so are done in front of others. Zhao Kuangyin will not hide his ambitions after others.

"Tomorrow General Zhao can enter the palace, and then make profits to the Empress Dowager to protect their glory and wealth for the rest of their lives. Then let the Empress Dowager issue an edict to abdicate, and the new emperor issued an edict to abdicate. In this way, General Zhao's wish can be realized."

Zhu Lin continued: "There are no worms inside the Great Zhou Dynasty. What we have to do now is basically external things. The Southern Tang Emperor Li Yi is addicted to poetry, singing and dancing, and only knows how to make peace every day. However, the scholars in Jiangnan are not good at fighting, so it only takes two months to take them off."

"However, for the sake of external stability, I still hope that General Zhao can treat the Southern Tang royal family well, so that the people of Southern Tang will have much less resistance. I believe General Zhao understands this."

"As for Wuping, Houshu, Southern Han, and Dali, although they occupied natural dangerous places and had abundant food and grass, they were scarce at the same time, and their combat capabilities were poor. It would take time to take them down, but it was absolutely not difficult. General Zhao, these small southern countries, can be pacified in one year."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded. What Zhu Lin said was basically the same as what he thought. These small countries in the south were not a problem for the Great Zhou.
