I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

After Lin Chen left the prince's territory and returned to the capital, he found that all the common people were running towards the city gate. That was obviously where the prince had just stayed. So many people were rushing to collect their money, and Lin Chen felt speechless.

How can the prince's money be taken just like that? But now it is really those common people. Lin Chen was a little confused, so he asked, "What are you worried about? Come with us to collect the money."

Lin Chen thought, forget it, I still have to collect the prince’s money. How poor have I become?

Lin Chen obviously didn't want to care about the prince's affairs. If the prince wanted to distribute the money, then let him do it. It wouldn't be a big loss for Lin Chen anyway. However, the prince was quite good at winning people's hearts and gathered all the people together at once.

But no matter what, no one knew what Lin Chen was doing at the moment. He was only doing his work to help the princess establish her career in secret, and the soldiers he recruited were still rehearsing so that they would not fall behind when leading troops into battle. After all, these soldiers knew that they were just helping others at the moment. Even if Lin Chen could offer a large reward, that would be a matter of the future. After all, at this moment, Lin Chen was still penniless.

Although the soldiers understood this principle, Lin Chen did not necessarily care about their thoughts. He did not think that since they had joined the princess's army, they should practice martial arts seriously.

Only after you have acquired a good set of skills can you go to the battlefield and kill everyone.

Although the war is still a long way off, no one knows when there will be another unusual movement.

But it's better to master martial arts than to have no skills at all.

Thinking this, Lin Chen went back to the Princess Mansion. At this time, the Princess Mansion was decorated with lights and people were coming and going. Lin Chen walked to the door and looked at the big red lanterns pasted on the door. He was a little dumbfounded. What was going on?

Is there some big wedding going on here? How come he knows nothing about it? Lin Chen didn't know where to start. After all, this princess was a lifelong bachelor. How could she suddenly invite someone here?

However, looking at the festive scene, it seemed like there was indeed some big happy event. Lin Chen became more and more confused. Could it be that a high-ranking official from the court came to marry the princess?

But the princess wouldn't agree to it without the old emperor's consent, right?

Besides, the princess wasn't such a casual person, so what on earth was going on? Such a big commotion.

Lin Chen originally wanted to grab someone and ask, but seeing that everyone had an expression that said "I'm busy", he didn't know what to say.

I had no choice but to walk into the crowd and look at the princess sitting in the middle of the hall, but she was still wearing ordinary clothes.

But with so many officials coming and going, Lin Chen could understand a little bit. It seemed that they were spontaneously organizing a celebration banquet to celebrate the princess's victory in pacifying some war.

As Lin Chen was thinking, he saw the princess looking over. The princess waved at him and said loudly, "This is General Lin Chen. He wiped out many rebels at Tianmen Pass, and the soldiers I recruited were also brought here by him. So this man has made great contributions. If you soldiers come to my princess's mansion to celebrate, you must not miss this great hero, Lin Chen."

"After all, I wasn't at the Tianmen Pass frontline at the time, and I didn't manipulate these things. It was Lin Chen who created this with his intelligence and talent, and this is also his contribution."

After hearing this, Lin Chen finally understood. Fortunately, it was not that the princess was about to get married, or that someone had married the princess. It was finally a celebration banquet. He was right. This was fine. Otherwise, the princess would have married a man before ascending the throne, and her married life would have been a mess. Naturally, she would not have thought about making achievements, and then Lin Chen would have had no way to survive.

It was impossible for him to surrender to the prince. If he thought of surrendering to the prince, the first person he would kill after successfully ascending the throne would definitely be Lin Chen himself, so he didn't dare to take the risk.

At this moment, everyone seated in the hall seemed to possess considerable power. After all, these officials were important figures in the court. Without the emperor's permission, they wouldn't have come to the Princess's residence to dine. After all, eating anywhere didn't matter. The fact that they had to come to the Princess's residence showed that they valued the Princess's achievements. Lin Chen thought about it and found a random seat to sit down. Then, he waved to the officials and said, "Please rest assured. We will train more warriors together and quell the war. Don't worry."

These officials saw that Lin Chen was only a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, but had such knowledge, and they looked at Lin Chen differently, but this look was more or less admiration and disbelief.

But the Crown Prince's men were also present. Mao Zhong, who was beside the Crown Prince, happened to be there as well. Seeing Lin Chen's arrogant words, Mao Zhong became even more dissatisfied and said, "Didn't you just let your men fight this battle? You didn't do anything. If you command me, I can do it too."

Mao Zhong obviously felt that commanding this battle was not a big deal and he could complete it himself.

Mao Zhong's words made everyone present laugh. Lin Chen also smiled and said nothing. What kind of occasion is this? Mao Zhong's words were so vulgar that he really didn't consider himself an outsider.

He thought this was the residence of his Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but this is the Princess's Mansion, and Lin Chen would not allow others to say that about him.

So he stood up and said to Mao Zhong, "Given your knowledge, why don't you let the prince send you to the front line to lead the troops?"

Mao Chong was speechless when he saw Lin Chen being so critical, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. How could he not be better than a mere Lin Chen?

They are both retainers, so why is he worse than Lin Chen?

Mao Zhong disliked Lin Chen even more, and was unhappy with everything about Lin Chen.

They just think that Lin Chen is a gigolo, but these ministers like Lin Chen so much and think that Lin Chen is a talented person with potential for development.

But Mao Zhong just felt that Lin Chen was arrogant and there was no possibility of being shaped. Mao Zhong didn't want to pay attention to Lin Chen's thoughts. He just felt that Lin Chen was scheming. Moreover, Mao Zhong didn't say some things, but he knew in his heart that Lin Chen was relying on his vicious conspiracies to be superior to others. Isn't that courting death?

Mao Zhong thought about it and yelled at Lin Chen, "Don't be so complacent. This is a celebration for the princess and our Great Qin's victory, not for you. Why are you so arrogant?"

Mao Zhong just didn't want to be nice to Lin Chen. He felt that Lin Chen should submit to him and always be under him.

But Mao Zhong also understood that although there was a difference in status, the abilities of the two people were completely different. He just didn't want to admit that he was less intelligent and talented than Lin Chen.

Hearing this, Lin Chen looked at Mao Zhong with some displeasure, "If you have something to say, just say it quickly. Why do you keep saying these useless things?"
