Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

【Ding! Sign in successfully! 】

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the East Factory expert Cao Shaoqin! Note: Cao Shaoqin will join the host within half an hour!]

Ok?

Yu Huatian and Cao Shaoqin, now both the east and west factories are operational!

When Lin Fan heard the content of the sign-in reward, he was also slightly surprised.

After a while, Eunuch Sun brought Lin Fan to a place not far from Emperor Zhu Shou. Lin Fan collected his thoughts, saluted Zhu Shou with a fist, and said:

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Shou waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lin Fan thanked him and stood aside solemnly.

"Why are you here, you bad guy?" At this time, Crown Prince Zhu Jun suddenly said to Lin Fan.

"My son, please don't be rude." Zhu Shou frowned slightly when he saw Zhu Jun calling Lin Fan a bad guy in front of him.

Seeing this, Zhu Jun stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.

Zhu Shou smiled and said to Lin Fan, "The Crown Prince is young and doesn't understand right from wrong. He may be upset about you escorting Princess Yunkang to the Kingdom of Song. You don't have to take it to heart."

"I understand," Lin Fan said calmly, clasping his fists.

Zhu Shou nodded in satisfaction and continued, "What's the important matter that brought you to see me?"

Lin Fan said, "I have come here, firstly, to thank Your Majesty for your trust in me and for promoting me again; secondly, I have important news to share with Your Majesty."

"As long as you work loyally for me, I will promote you. There is no need to thank me. Let's talk about another thing. What is the specific news?" Zhu Shou said casually after hearing this.

Lin Fan lowered his voice and said, "I have received news that within the Sui Kingdom, there is a magical skill passed down from the immortal Guangchengzi, called the Longevity Secret. Practicing it can grant one immortality."

"Immortality? Is there really such a magical power?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Shou's expression suddenly became serious and he asked in a deep voice.

Lin Fan said, "This is the information I have received. Although I cannot guarantee immortality, it can at least prolong one's life."

"I have come to Your Majesty with a special request to personally lead people to the Sui Kingdom to retrieve the secret of immortality and present it to Your Majesty."

Immortality is a temptation that most people cannot refuse!

In particular, the emperor who holds power over the world is more eager for immortality.

Going to the Sui Kingdom to search for the secret of immortality was exactly the most suitable excuse that Lin Fan could think of to leave the capital.

When Zhu Shou heard Lin Fan's words, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "My dear minister, you are truly loyal! If you can find the secret of immortality, I will certainly reward you generously!"

Lin Fan clasped his fists and said, "I will do my utmost to retrieve the secret of immortality for Your Majesty."

"Haha, good. I will immediately draft a written order for you. Once you reach the territory of Sui, you can do whatever you like in search of the secret of immortality."

Zhu Shou laughed loudly upon hearing this.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Fan clasped his fists again to express his gratitude.

At this time, the Crown Prince Zhu Jun's eyes turned and he suddenly smiled and said:

"Lord Lin, I misunderstood you before. You are loyal to our father and a good minister."

Then, Zhu Jun said to Emperor Zhu Shou: "I wish you in advance that you can obtain divine power and live forever!"

Children living in the palace are naturally not comparable to ordinary children.

Although he was only seven or eight years old, Zhu Jun seemed very intelligent.

Zhu Shou was even happier when he heard Zhu Jun's words. "Haha, when the time comes, I will practice magic with my son and live forever together."

Lin Fan also thanked Zhu Jun.

As he spoke, Zhu Shou brought a few people to the imperial study, quickly wrote a letter, stamped it with his personal seal, and handed it to Lin Fan, saying:

"Lord Lin, I am waiting for your good news in the palace. Once you find the secret of immortality, I will reward you handsomely!"

"Your Majesty, I will never let you down!" Lin Fan clasped his fists again upon hearing this.

"Okay, you go down, get ready, and set off as soon as possible!" Zhu Shou nodded slightly and said with satisfaction.

"Wei Chen resigns!"

Lin Fan clasped his fists and bowed, then bowed to the prince before turning and leaving.

Not long after, Lin Fan left the imperial study.

"Master Lin, please come this way!"

As soon as he left the imperial study, a eunuch came forward and led the way for Lin Fan.

Lin Fan's heart moved slightly, and he asked calmly, "What is the name of this eunuch?"

Upon hearing this, the eunuch hurriedly said, "Your servant Cao Shaoqin greets Master Lin."

Lin Fan bowed and said, "So it's Eunuch Cao. What's the relationship between Eunuch Cao and Supervisor Cao of the East Factory?"

Cao Shaoqin said, "How dare I try to establish a relationship with Commander Cao? In the East Depot, there are actually quite a few people with the surname Cao. It just so happens that they share the same surname as Commander Cao."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Perhaps in the near future, your status will not be lower than that of Governor Cao."

Cao Shaoqin's expression changed slightly. She glanced around and saw that no one else was paying attention. Then she said, "Thank you, Lord Lin, for your kind words."

"If Eunuch Cao is not busy, could you accompany me out of the palace?"

Lin Fan's eyes flickered as he spoke to Cao Shaoqin.

Cao Shaoqin said politely: "It is my honor, but I can't be away for long."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "It'll only take a moment to get to the palace gate."

Cao Shaoqin nodded slightly upon hearing this, then followed Lin Fan and slowly walked out of the palace gate.

The two walked for a while, avoiding the guards at the palace gate. Lin Fan suddenly said to Cao Shaoqin, "Eunuch Cao, do you know that the East Factory has reached a critical juncture?"

Cao Shaoqin's expression changed slightly, and he said, "I wonder why Lord Lin said that?"

Lin Fan did not hide anything and told Cao Shaoqin about Zhu Wusi's plan.

Anyway, Cao Shaoqin was a reward from the system and would never betray Lin Fan, so he didn't have to worry about him leaking information.

After hearing Lin Fan's words, Cao Shaoqin was shocked. No wonder he felt that it was too easy for the East Factory to deal with the Hulong Villa this time. It turned out that this was Zhu Wusi's conspiracy.

"Thank you, Lord Lin, for your advice!" Cao Shaoqin took a deep breath and thanked Lin Fan solemnly.

Lin Fan said, "Cao Zhengchun is doomed to fail this time, but the East Depot may not be without a chance of recovery. If another capable person were to take charge of the East Depot, it might be able to recover from its defeat and then rebuild itself. I think you, Eunuch Cao, have a great chance."

Cao Shaoqin's eyes lit up, and he said solemnly, "If I can take charge of the East Factory, from now on, I will follow Lord Lin's lead."

"I have a set of skills here that may be able to help you," Lin Fan smiled slightly and threw the copy of the energy-absorbing technique to Cao Shaoqin.

"This..." Cao Shaoqin was surprised and delighted when he saw the four big words "Absorbing Power Method".

Rumor has it that Gu Santong became the number one figure in the Great Zhou martial arts world because he practiced the art of absorbing energy!

Of course, this is just a rumor.

"Thank you for the gift, Master Lin. From now on, I will follow your lead!"

Cao Shaoqin took the energy-absorbing technique into his arms, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully.

"Eunuch Cao, please stand up. Let's cooperate and achieve mutual success. There is no need to do this." Lin Fan smiled slightly and reached out to help Cao Shaoqin stand up.

"By the way, there's a eunuch named Yu Huatian in the West Factory who also has a cooperative relationship with Lin. Perhaps you two can also have some cooperation and promote each other's promotion."

Cao Shaoqin's eyes brightened when he heard this, "Thank you, Master Lin, for your advice!"

"Okay, you should go back, otherwise you won't be out for too long and arouse suspicion," Lin Fan said with a slight nod.

Cao Shaoqin didn't say much, bowed to Lin Fan, and then turned and left.

Lin Fan pondered for a moment, returned to the Northern Pacification Office, arranged some things, and then prepared to set off for the Sui Kingdom.

However, before leaving, Lin Fan secretly met with Yu Huatian again, explained the matter of Cao Shaoqin to him, and gave him the secret book of the power-absorbing technique.

Another day passed. Lin Fan said goodbye to Ah Zhu and Jiang Yuyan, then took Zhou Meng, Lin Pingzhi, and nearly a hundred Jinyiwei and headed towards the Sui Kingdom...
