The Legend Of Beishang
188. The Xue Family

Lin Beishang walked wearing a two-layer coat like he liked to do when his body was still weak.

When Lin Beishang had just opened the door of his residence, snow started to fall, Lin Beishang sighed lightly and picked up an oil paper umbrella.

After that, starting to walk alone under the freezing snow, the servants ran to and fro to prepare firewood so that the inhabitants of the palace remained warm.

But, somehow Lin Beishang felt that he was still very lonely and cold. Lin Beishang turned his head back to see that there were two maids whispering whispers.

"Did you know that now the Empress is a fugitive ?" Ask one of them.

"Of course I know, it's said that his family has committed a lot of crimes and everything is being hunted, but nothing can be obtained." Reply to others with passion.

"Do you guys have so much free time ?" Lin Beishang asked coldly.

In this cold air added with Lin Beishang's cold voice made everyone tremble in fear.

The two maids immediately knelt down on him and did not dare to raise their heads.

"Yingfei Gongzhu !" Say both of them with trembling tone.

"You better not do that again or you all regret it, because the matter of the palace is not something you can say so easily. " Speak Lin Beishang stiffly and prepare to leave.

"Yes, we don't dare !" Said the two servants in fear.

"stand." Said Lin Beishang before finally walking away and disappearing behind the snowfall.

The two servants stood and held hands to help warm themselves.

"God ! Yingfei Gongzhu was extremely beautiful and dignified, as if it was a Goddess ! He was very untouchable !" Praise one of the servants with great zeal.

"Slow down your voice, but Yingfei Gongzhu is really very beautiful. Not knowing who would be his life companion, was Young Master Xue the Great ?" Ask another waiter.

"No way, the Xue Family was the oldest family and only had one son with a brilliant reputation. It must have been given to the Crown Princess, it was a pity that Yingfei Gongzhu had a lower status than the Crown Princess. " Speak the first with breath.

"I also think so, Young Master Xue, graceful and learned, is a perfect match for Yingfei Gongzhu, unlike the wild Crown Princess. " Second with a very low voice.

While on the other hand, Lin Beishang did not hear what the two maids were saying and was walking towards the palace hall.

Arriving at the front, there was Eunuch Luo standing guard at the door.

"Yingfei Gongzhu's. " Easim Luo said respectfully.

"Eunuch Luo, where's Huangfu ?" Ask Lin Beishang.

"Bixia was receiving guests, so this low eunuch stood guard at the door. " Sayor Luo.

"Guests ? Which good guest disturbs Huangfu's calm in the morning like this ?" Ask Lin Beishang.

"That's Yangyue Jun. " Say eunuch Luo said as she lowered her head.

(It was used as a substitute title for the word Wang, like Bei Wang then this is Jun. If Wang was usually used for members of the Empire if Jun then it was used for old nobles, like Yan Xi who got the title of Qinyuan Jun. )

Lin Beishang was instantly speechless when he heard Yangyue Jun's name and thought that the enemies met on the narrow path.

Yangyue Jun was the head of the Xue Family, Xue Yong. Lin Beishang laughed coldly and Eunuch Luo felt goosebumps.

"What did Yangyue Jun do to disturb Huangfu at a time when even roosters had not yet crowed ?" Ask Lin Beishang.

(That indicates that even the sun has not yet risen and Yangyue Jun has come to Lin Xi. )

"This servant does not know exactly but Yangyue Jun said that he wanted to see the state of Bixia after the attack. " Eunuch Luo said honestly.

"Oh, then I should personally thank Yangyue Jun. " Speak Lin Beishang while pushing the door without another word.

"Gongzhu !" Eunuch Luo wanted to stop Lin Beishang but it was too late and saw there was Yangyue Jun and his son.

Lin Beishang put on the best friendly and friendly face he had and the thin smile that made others go crazy.

"This must be Yingfei Gongzhu, this old official had heard for himself that Yingfei Gongzhu was very devoted and came to Bixia every day. " Said Yangyue Jun, Xue Yong.

"Yangyue Jun praised this young girl too much, I dare not accept this compliment. " Speak Lin Beishang while laughing shyly in embarrassment.

"Yingfei Gongzhu's beauty was like thousands of flowers blooming in the spring, looking extremely beautiful and admirable. " Yangyue Jun said back to licking it.

"This princess thanks Yangyue Jun for her praise, it really makes this Princess feel ashamed. " Say Lin Beishang while walking forward.

"Greetings to Huangfu, Yingfei listened that Yangyue Jun had come to see Huangfu's state, so Yingfei felt great admiration for the attention Yangyue Jun had on Huangfu. " Say Lin Beishang fluently.

"Of course, Zhen and Yangyue Jun were best friends since on the battlefield and were very good to each other. " Said Lin Xi.

Lin Beishang meticulously looked at Lin Xi's expression, it looked extremely clear and there was no hatred.

Though, Lin Xi had seen clearly how evil Xue Yong had been doing all along.

It was truly pathetic, this crime had been committed even before Xue Yong became Yangyue Jun.

The masks in the Palace were truly terrifying, each of these four people who looked familiar and kind, who was truly sincere, including him.

"This old official also listened that the Crown Princess had suppressed most of the enemies, really having made a proud. " Said Yangyue Jun.

"Sister is indeed very proud, this princess hopes that she can be like him."Said Lin Beishang in a slightly sad tone and a sense of pride.

"Bixia, it's time to think about the Crown Princess' wedding. " Said Yangyue Jun.

Lin Xi simply smiled and looked at him, her gaze becoming dark as if she wanted to warn Lin Xi about what she had said earlier.

"Does Yangyue Jun have any advice for this Princess Zhen ?" Ask Lin Xi.

"This old official wants that Bixia should decide the best young man from every family with a good past, good background, good level of martial arts, have devoted themselves to the country as best as possible. " Yangyue Jun did not directly say his son.

"If so, then wouldn't only Young Master Xue be able to qualify it ?" Lin Beishang asked adding oil to the fire.

"The princess has flattered this inexperienced fellow, this lowly one doesn't dare to accept it. " Said the Son of Xue Yong, Xue Lang Yu.

Lin Beishang frowned, usually men were given single names and women were given double letters.

As its name has two words, Bei and Shang. But, there were still some exceptions like Lin Yue.

"Gongzhu, this world can't just be solved with violence and force. With gentleness then we can unite all that exists. " Said Yangyue Jun.

"Indeed, indeed. But, if there is a war then who will come out ? Can softness solve the war ? I think Yangyue Jun's words are a little less mature, just like the 5-year-old said. " Speak Lin Beishang appropriately slapped on Xue Yong's old face.

Lin Beishang had always hated people like this Xue Yong, saying that war was a wrong and untrue thing.

And wanting to cut off all military power, Lin Beishang certainly agreed that war was the wrong thing.

But, cutting off the military power ? It's even more wrong ! With the current conditions, other than what other power could be relied upon ?

With strength, they could protect themselves from other Dynasties. Yangyue Jun was just about to spit out another nonsense before Lin Xi cut him off first.

"What Yingfei said was true but Yingfei, you have been very rude to Yangyue Jun, apologize to Yangyue Jun. " Said the Emperor.

"I'm sorry, Yangyue Jun. I am young and have no skills. " Said Lin Beishang with a mocking smile.

Xue Yong's face slightly changed before finally holding back and forcing himself to smile because the Emperor had decided to support him.

Thus, Yangyue Jun, Xue Yong, had no other way to stress this matter to him and could only swallow this insult raw.

"It's okay, the old official and the son of this old official resigned first, Bixia, Yingfei Gongzhu. " Say Yangyue Jun with a forced smile.

"Of course, this Princess felt very happy that she could meet experienced elders like Yangyue Jun and Young Master Xue. " Said Lin Beishang and the two men walking out of the Imperial hall with a feeling of anger.

In an instant, Lin Beishang's friendly gaze disappeared and changed into a cruel gaze that seemed as if it was monitoring its prey walking around foolishly.

"Beishang, is he your next target ?" Ask Lin Xi.

"Dad really understands me, I'm so proud. " Speak Lin Beishang turned back and looked at Lin Xi with a cold smile.

"Why do you want to take that step ?" Lin Xi asked in an incomprehensible manner.

"Why can't I take it ?" Asked Lin Beishang while grinning.

"After Xue, who else is your goal ?" Ask Lin Xi.

"Exhausted, just two, Yan and Xue. " Said Lin Beishang honestly.

"Why is that ?" Ask Lin Xi.

"With the downfall of many palace officials who have been trusted by the people, slowly the people's land will doubt and feel distrust and insecure. I think it's a worse crisis than fighting an outside enemy. "Chap Lin Beishang.

"A very good analysis. " Praise Lin Xi.

"I know even if I don't stop with my own consciousness then you'll stop me, won't you ? You've been Emperor for so long, it certainly doesn't make you blunt, does it ?" Lin Beishang asked calmly.

"Beishang is so smart, I will indeed stop you after this. " Say Lin Xi agreed with Lin Beishang's accusations.

"Indeed, with a punch to these two great nobles was more than enough to send a warning to the other smaller and weaker nobles. " Said Lin Beishang.

"Hm, that's enough but it's undeniable that there are always stupid rats who throw themselves in traps to get food. " Said Lin Xi.

"What you say is not wrong, but if it is so then I won't mind. With such clear evidence, who can dodge it ?" Ask Lin Beishang.

"I want to establish a martial arts academy." Lin Beishang.

"Smartial Arts Academy ?" Lin Xi asked confusedly.

"Hm, so no matter what his background is, no matter what it is so that it can practice martial arts as long as they have sufficient ability and good talent. " Said Lin Beishang.

When hearing this made Lin Xi's face slightly change and become even more grim, this had become a taboo matter for generations.

Where you can practice martial arts is only a person who enrolls in the military or nobility.

So that ordinary people are not allowed to train in martial arts and if caught training him in silence then he will be killed along with his family.

In essence, the only ones who could practice Martial Arts were the blades held by the Emperor. Ordinary people could practice martial arts as long as they were registered as Imperial soldiers, beyond that it was not allowed.

The Tang Dynasty was strict, unlike the other Dynasties that were lighter on the matter, the proof was that Zhao Ye Shi could even be one of the best swordsmen.

Though, Zhao Ye Shi was not even listed anywhere that was why there was the Heavenly Sword Sect.

While in the Tang Dynasty there was not even such a thing. Seeing that he had touched the bottom line belonging to Lin Xi, Lin Beishang did not pursue this matter anymore.

"Forget it, I just said with nonsense. No need to be too serious. " Say Lin Beishang calmly and did not show any emotion due to his rejected desire.

"When do you want to move this time ?" Ask Lin Xi.

"Next week. " Say Lin Beishang said with a cold smile.

Lin Beishang and Lin Xi were caught in a deadly silence and they were preoccupied with their respective thoughts.

"Why next week ?" Ask Lin Xi.

"After it happens, you'll know why I chose this. " Say Lin Beishang said mysteriously.

"Well, I can't get any information from you, my daughter. Don't disappoint me, Beishang. " Said Lin Xi.

"Of course, I won't disappoint you. " Said Lin Beishang.

"Dad, what about jie jie ? Is she okay ?" Ask Lin Beishang.

"He is fine, it is said that he only has a scratch on his arm but he feels very proud to have repelled an enemy that threatens his homeland. " Say Lin Xi with a proud smile and gave Lin Yue's letter to her.

Lin Beishang looked at Lin Xi's proud smile with a hint of bitterness in his heart, a smile that was so proud, but unfortunately only aimed at one person.

Lin Beishang shook his head slowly and thought that this was a side effect of Poison Gu's dark side.
