Chapter 432: Was my hint not obvious enough? (Seeking subscriptions, seeking...)

Xiao Ming has always been a person of excellent luck. Whether it is cultivation or promotion and solving cases, as long as he wants to do it, he can do it.

Even for the massacre case, the murderer had already been dealt with by him.

But even with such luck, he encountered two stumbling blocks.

The first is naturally that Emperor he has never met, who snatched away the goddess he had been fawning over for many years.

Of course, here Xiao Ming only thinks that he and Li Chen have never met, but in fact, they have met, and more than once.

Neither Li Chen nor Xiao Ming knows each other's identity.

The one who snatched the goddess is the Emperor. Xiao Ming does not yet have the ability to fight the Emperor, so he can only follow his master's words, strive to be a powerful minister, and then improve his strength to hollow out the Emperor.

The opponent is the Emperor; Xiao Ming can endure it. If he doesn't endure it, he has no way for the time being.

But the second one he cannot endure, and that is Fang Qian, the Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel.

Xiao Ming and Fang Qian's official positions are not very high in the Imperial Capital, but many officials know them.

Because they are both gifted, not only is their cultivation high, but their ability is also extremely strong. They are important officials of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Personnel, and can also be said to be the future of the two departments.

Their conflict is huge, and they have had conflicts more than once. It has become a focus of officials' after-dinner talk, leading to the fact that sometimes when Xiao Ming passes by some places, he is greeted by colleagues from other departments.

Fang Qian's relationship with Wei Manying has been getting better and better recently. Xiao Ming certainly cannot endure this. You think you are the Emperor? I can't provoke the Emperor, but I can't provoke you?

Even though he was told by the Minister of Justice Pang Jin, Xiao Ming had no intention of restraining himself.

That's how a Son of Luck is; once there is hatred in his heart, it won't be forgotten so easily.

Today, Xiao Ming and Fang Qian had another conflict, but they were afraid of being punished by their superiors because Li Chen had personally spoken about this matter, but not fighting once was not satisfying.

They agreed to leave the Imperial Capital and have a one-on-one fight in the suburbs to decide who is better. Whoever loses will leave Wei Manying.

After all, it is the suburbs of the Imperial Capital, there are no government runners, and they won't be reported to their superiors. The two hit it off and started fighting outside.

Hearing this, Lin Mo was stunned and said: "Is this the reason you asked me to persuade them to stop fighting?"

Just now Lin Mo was still working, and Wei Manying ran over in a hurry.

Lin Mo thought his sweetheart was looking for him for a date. Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Lin Mo was even preparing to make some small surprises.

Who knew that Wei Manying came to him for the sake of two other men.

Seeing Lin Mo's somewhat reluctant look, Wei Manying sighed and said: "Hey, both of them are very strong. They have been fighting for an hour and still haven't decided the winner. If they keep fighting like this, something will probably happen. Now in the whole Imperial Capital, only you, with your great strength, can persuade them."

She didn't think about calling others, but those without positions in the Heavenly Strategy Dynasty certainly couldn't persuade them, after all, Xiao Ming and Fang Qian both have official positions.

Most of those of the same rank are not as strong as them.

Superiors don't need to be mentioned; Xiao Ming and Fang Qian would both be punished when they go back.

Originally, this kind of work of persuading people to stop fighting was most suitable for Xu Kequan; he usually persuades them to stop fighting.

But Xu Kequan has already led troops on an expedition, so only Lin Mo is suitable in the Imperial Capital.

Hearing this, Lin Mo felt that he was needed by the goddess, which was very gratifying, but he also had a stomachache, feeling that Xiao Ming and Fang Qian were not stopping at all.

Lin Mo rubbed his temples to relieve the pressure of today's work.

To be honest, he didn't care if Xiao Ming and Fang Qian fought to the death, but since the beauty asked, he had to follow them to the suburbs.

From afar, he could hear the sound of weapons clashing.

He saw Xiao Ming slash with a saber, the saber energy plowing a three-zhang-long gully on the ground; Fang Qian pointed his sword tip, actually picking the saber energy away.

"Stop!"

Lin Mo activated his pulse technique, his voice like thunder. Both stopped and turned to look.

Fang Qian sneered: "Does Lord Lin also want to intervene?"

Xiao Ming said angrily: "Lin Mo, this is none of your business!"

Seeing that they were about to continue, Lin Mo hurriedly persuaded: "You two, we are all officials in the same court, for my sake..."

Before he finished speaking, Fang Qian and Xiao Ming, who had caught their breath, were already fighting again.

It can be said that Lin Mo was directly ignored.

In their view, who do you think you are, Lin Mo? Are you qualified to make us give you face?

Looking at the situation in front of him, Lin Mo was dumbfounded. He didn't understand how Xu Kequan succeeded in persuading them to stop fighting before.

Xu Kequan's way of persuading them to stop fighting was also very simple, which was to tell Fang Qian and Xiao Ming that if you two keep fighting, I will go to Lin Yue'e to report the situation.

As everyone knows, Lin Yue'e has the waist token of Emperor Li Chen and can directly capture Fang Qian and Xiao Ming, so they naturally dare not continue.

Now in the wilderness, they don't care about so much; they must decide who is better today.

However, with Lin Mo's intervention, they didn't fight to the death, and in the end, they could only agree to fight another day.

In fact, at this time, Fang Qian and Xiao Ming had consumed too much and couldn't hold on, and didn't want to lose in front of Wei Manying, so they could only do this.

Lin Mo was also exhausted, skipping work to come here to meddle in other people's business.

At this time, he also realized that in the Heavenly Strategy Dynasty, it is better to be closer to Li Chen. Lin Yue'e is close to Li Chen, and the courtiers give her face.

But Lin Mo's status is low, and he is not even qualified to fawn over Li Chen. What should he do?

And at this time, someone who is qualified to fawn over Li Chen is working hard to fawn over him.

In a large city of the former Wu Luo Ya Empire, Li Chen was visiting the construction here when he encountered a group of people who were also "traveling incognito."

The leader of this group was the King of the Bai Fan Kingdom, who is also the man who has recently become famous and shocked the southern kingdoms.

He personally came to travel incognito to see if the soldiers were treating the people according to the requirements, to listen to the people's views on the Bai Fan Kingdom here, and to ask if the Heavenly Strategy merchants were satisfied with the treatment they received here.

As a King, this is his work, and traveling incognito is also what his "mentor" taught him.

Only by not revealing his identity can he see some situations clearly.

Coincidentally, the King of the Bai Fan Kingdom met two "merchants" from Heavenly Strategy in a restaurant.

That's right, these two were Li Chen and Zhu Zhuying.

Although the King of the Bai Fan Kingdom studied in the Heavenly Strategy Dynasty, he had never seen Li Chen.

"This brother has unique insights!" After several conversations, the King of the Bai Fan Kingdom exclaimed.

He found that this "merchant" in front of him had extraordinary insights in military, politics, people's hearts, business, etc., and was simply a rare talent.

The King of the Bai Fan Kingdom was secretly happy: If I could recruit this person, wouldn't it be a great help?

So he had a plan and invited Li Chen to have dinner together.

"I have a residence in the city, why don't you move to talk?"

The King of the Bai Fan Kingdom said mysteriously.

He was already imagining the flattered look of this "merchant" when he discovered that he was actually the King.

Then he could take the opportunity to express his concern for him and give him a high status; this is the means of winning people's hearts.

However, when Li Chen stepped into the temporary palace, the King of the Bai Fan Kingdom began to feel that something was wrong.

Could it be that this "merchant" didn't guess my identity? Was my hint not obvious enough?
