After Luo Tianbao heard what Shi Yan said, he didn't force himself anymore. Everyone left happily that day. Luo Tianbao originally thought that he would just wait for the imperial court to issue an order, but he didn't expect that within two days, things would come to his door again.

Well, the prince sent two chamberlains to invite Luo Tianbao to the banquet.

Luo Tianbao felt a little dumbfounded at the time. This time Chengtian felt that he was almost a treasure, and everyone was trying to snatch it away. Based on previous experience, the prince was most likely looking for him this time to win over him, but after all, he was the crown prince of a country.

Unable to offend, Luo Tianbao had no choice but to take Zhang Hao and the Shu sisters to the banquet.

The prince's residence is not far from the Shangqing Palace. It is said that it was originally a country villa built by a high-ranking official. This time it was donated to the prince as a temporary residence. The villa is not large, but the decoration and furnishings are compared to other local houses.

The natural style is very sophisticated.

Due to his status, the prince naturally could not come to the door to greet Luo Tianbao and his entourage in person. He sent Cui Ying, the prince's guest. Luo Tianbao had heard others mention this before, but she was a famous talented woman today. She was very knowledgeable and knew all kinds of poetry and songs.

, so the prince specially selected her to assist the prince in the East Palace, and she was also the latter's confidant. Not to mention that the imperial edict appointing Luo Tianbao as an official has not yet been issued. He is still considered white at the moment. Even if it is issued, according to the information revealed by Li Guozhong before

He is also a Lieutenant General of You Qianniu Guard, whose rank is not as good as Cui Ying. The fact that he can send such an important minister to greet him shows that the prince attaches great importance to Luo Tianbao.

Cui Ying looks to be in her early thirties, with handsome features and a rather elegant temperament. Luo Tianbao has become somewhat accustomed to court etiquette after struggling for a while, so it is not rude to meet Cui Ying. Everyone is simply polite.

After a few words, Cui Ying ushered everyone into the villa. When they arrived at the main hall, the prince was already sitting on the throne and had been waiting for a long time. Seeing this, Luo Tianbao hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Lin Siyi, a common man, pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince. May the Crown Prince live a thousand years." Because the emperor had given Luo Tianbao a name before, he now uses the name Lin Siyi in official occasions.

The prince smiled faintly upon hearing this: "You don't have to be polite, Lin Yishi, please get up."

Luo Tianbao stood up immediately after hearing this, and then asked Zhang Hao to present the gift he had brought. After all, Luo Tianbao did not dare to come empty-handed when the prince was entertaining guests. Immediately, a servant came forward to take the gift, and Zhang Hao and others exited the hall.

Waiting for orders at the door, Luo Tianbao was led to the table by the chamberlain. There were not many people present at the banquet. Luo Tianbao glanced at the fact that apart from the prince, there were only four people present, including himself. Among them, Cui Ying had already met.

However, there were two other people. One was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He was short in stature and had a kind face. At first glance, he looked similar to the shopkeeper of a small business owner, but Luo Tianbao knew by looking at his clothes that this person was

The official title is by no means small.

Of course, what surprised Luo Tianbao the most was that the person sitting next to him was actually a monk. Although it was not surprising that there were several monks around the powerful and even the emperor, this person was actually invited to attend a banquet of this level.

, and being on an equal footing with a court official like Cui Ying shows that the other party has a great background.

At this time, the prince seemed to see Luo Tianbao's doubts, and immediately said: "Lin Yishi, you don't know these people, do you? Let me introduce you to you. You have met Cui Bin before, and this one is from the prince's family."

Order Lu Yan, Lu Qing’s family.”

The prince said and pointed at the middle-aged man with a kind face. Luo Tianbao couldn't help being secretly surprised when he heard this. He had heard others mention it before. When the Supreme Emperor was in power, there were several prodigies in the world, and the leader is now.

Huo Daoliang, the emperor's think tank, "Shangren Qingyi", was the same as Lu Yan at that time. Unlike Huo Daoliang, who was good at poetry, Lu Yan was famous for his arithmetic. It is said that when he was seven years old, he was better at handling accounts than

Many veterans who have been working for decades are very fast, and when they grow up, they become financial experts. Their future was originally optimistic, but this person was relatively upright, so he offended the then Prime Minister Yang Chao and was arrested for a while.

By mistake, he was demoted to the northwest border and became a small local official. When people mentioned this, most people regretted it.

However, things in the world are sometimes so strange. Although Lu Yan was demoted in itself was a mistake, he himself was a blessing in disguise and avoided a series of disputes in the court. After the court fled westward, he actively persuaded the governor of the state to raise troops to serve the king and personally

The supplies donated to the imperial court were escorted, and the prince at that time was able to gain a foothold in Jianzhou and organize a counterattack against the rebels. It was initially relying on this supply of supplies. Therefore, after the emperor ascended the throne, he was quite appreciative of Lu Yan and specially

He was promoted to the rank of Prince's family magistrate and sent to the East Palace to handle the daily affairs of the Prince's house. Many people analyzed that the emperor intended to reserve talents for the Prince so that he could take over the throne in the future.

Luo Tianbao had heard others say these things more than once, but he never expected that he and Lu Yan would meet here today, so his words immediately became quite humble.

"You are so polite, Yishi Lin. The virtuous father and son are famous all over the world for their righteousness. Even Lu Mou has admired his name for a long time. Now you and I are serving the imperial court. From now on, we hope to unite sincerely, regardless of each other."

When Luo Tianbao heard that Lu Yan spoke very politely and did not have the arrogance of many talented people, he immediately had a good impression of him.

At this time, the prince pointed to the monk on the side: "As for this, he is the abbot of Qingfeng Temple in Jiulian Mountain, the eminent monk Yifeng. Guping has benefited a lot from listening to his sermons on a daily basis."

"Monk Yifeng..." Luo Tianbao felt that this Dharma name was very familiar. He seemed to have heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment. Luo Tianbao usually didn't pay much attention to things like monks and Taoism, so he thought maybe it was

There was a relatively famous eminent monk, but I had not noticed it before, so I hurriedly said hello to him.

"It turns out to be Master Yifeng, disrespectful."

Monk Yifeng looked to be about fifty years old, with a thin build, an ancient appearance, and a long beard. The way he sat there seemed to be a bit solemn. After everyone talked, he kept his eyes closed tightly there as if he was in trance.

It wasn't until Luo Tianbao spoke to him that this man opened his eyes and glared at Luo Tianbao. The latter was shocked at that time.

Luo Tianbao has been around the world for a long time, and he has seen many experts, but this was the first time he met someone with eyes as sharp as Monk Yifeng's. At that time, he felt that the other person's eyes were like two bright lights, so bright that it made people laugh.

He almost didn't dare to look at him, Luo Tianbao knew in his heart that the other party's internal strength had already been cultivated to the level of proficiency based on this alone, but there was no master named Yifeng in the martial arts world.

"The benefactor is Lin Siyi?" Monk Yifeng said at this time, his voice was loud and full of energy, and the whole hall seemed to be echoing as soon as he spoke.

"It's the junior." An ordinary person would have been overwhelmed by Yifeng's momentum at this time, but when Luo Tianbao came, he had even seen the emperor, Ning Zeen and other top figures today. Secondly, his own

The concentration is now well established, so I can finally cope with the peak.

"So Lin Yunfei is your father?"

"Exactly."
