Beauty and the Bodyguard

 “Brother Lin, why don’t you go in?”

Mr. Qi snorted coldly: "This man's family tree is very large, but he refuses to come in even if I ask him to come in."

Lu Chunfeng glanced at Lin Yi playfully: "That's not true. Although Brother Lin has always been very opinionated, since he is here today, he must still treat guests as he pleases, right Brother Lin?"

Mr. Qi sneered: "Is he so sensible? I didn't see it."

“This shows that Mr. Qi, you don’t know Brother Lin well enough.”

Lu Chunfeng smiled playfully, and then said: "You two communicate more, I will go in first to pay a visit to King Qi."

 As he said that, he was about to walk in the door.

At this time, Brother Lin suddenly said: "Brother Lu, don't worry, we are all here to pay a visit to the King of Qi, why not come together?"

Lu Chunfeng smiled and looked at Mr. Qi: "Is it appropriate?"

Mr. Qi laughed loudly: "It's appropriate. Lin Yi is going to bow down step by step. Brother Lu, you are just a witness to see how pious he is in paying his respects to my father."

"Yeah?"

Lu Chunfeng was full of meaning: "Brother Lin really plans this? Then I really have to witness it."

 Everyone present looked at Lin Yi jokingly.

 They were naturally on the side of Mr. Qi and wanted to see Lin Yi make a fool of himself in public.

Lin Yi smiled calmly and said: "King Qi is a top powerhouse that everyone admires. Prince Qi's Mansion is also a monument to our imperial court. He has made countless great achievements. It is actually appropriate to kowtow to King Qi, but today I really can't do it."

Mr. Qi sneered: "Oh? What's wrong? Tell me your excuse and let me judge whether it is reasonable enough."

There was ridicule and ridicule all around.

Seeing that Lin Yi was indifferent, Mr. Qi's face immediately darkened: "Since you don't want to kowtow to my father, then don't stand in the way and get out of the way!"

“Since you are being treated as a dog, you must have the consciousness of being a dog. When it is time to tuck your tail, you must tuck your tail firmly.”

 “Didn’t anyone teach you?”

Lin Yi looked at him quietly: "My family doesn't have dogs, so I regret that I didn't teach them this."

 Then, he was seen taking out a royal flag with a golden "zhou" character fluttering in the wind.

 The whole place was silent.

 “The Banner of the Emperor?”

Lu Chunfeng’s eyelids twitched, and his expression changed slightly.

 Wherever the emperor's royal flag goes, it is equivalent to the emperor's personal presence!

No one thought that Lin Yi would actually have the emperor's flag in his hand. Did Emperor Zhou really trust him so much?

 For a time, the faces of everyone in Master Qi became extremely ugly.

It is true that Emperor Zhou is a puppet emperor. None of the seven princes will sincerely support him. As the emperor, his actual influence is not even comparable to that of some second-rate princes.

Facing Zhou Tianzi, the top bosses standing in the clouds looked down on him, treating him as a special chess piece at best, and no one regarded him as an equal chess player at all.

  But again, he is the puppet emperor. As long as the Zhou royal family is not overthrown for a day, then at least in name, he, the Zhou emperor, will still be the emperor of the entire inner court!

Whether it is the Prince of Qin's Palace, the Palace of Qi, or other princes and forces including the Seven Kings, at least on the scene, they must maintain absolute respect for the Emperor of Zhou, and no blasphemy is allowed.

 Otherwise, you will be criticized by thousands of people and become a public enemy of the royal court!

Just like now, as soon as the emperor's flag came out, everyone fell silent.

Mr. Qi was dumbfounded and pointed at Lin Yi, unable to say a word for a long time. Lin Yi looked at him calmly: "Do I still need to kowtow step by step?"

Mr. Qi’s face turned purple with anger.

No matter how stupid he is, he knows that he must not say anything wrong at this time. With so many pairs of eyes staring at the scene, once he shows the slightest disrespect to the Emperor Qi, not only him, but also the entire Prince Qi's Mansion will be arrested. Push to the forefront!

No matter how powerful the Qi Palace is, it is far from being invincible.

 Master Qi is a fool, but he is not stupid.

If this is just the repayment, the key point is that Lin Yi asked again: "Aren't you going to kneel down?"

　　　…”

Everyone present reacted and hurriedly knelt down collectively.

Lu Chunfeng's face turned a little darker. With his pride, he didn't even bother to bow to anyone, let alone kneel down in public.

Even if you meet Emperor Zhou himself, you will only bow at most and there is no need to kneel down at all.

Emperor Zhou would never ask him, the heir to the Lu family of Liaojing Prefecture, to kneel down. He must be given the face he deserves. This is the most basic way to protect himself as a puppet emperor.

 But the problem is different now.

The Emperor's Flag is equivalent to the emperor's personal visit. Emperor Zhou himself will let him exempt himself from the ceremony, but the Emperor's Flag in Lin Yi's hand will not.

Now that everyone else is kneeling, if Lu Chunfeng is the only one who refuses to kneel, he will not stand out from the crowd, but will be a big tree attracting the wind.

The Lu family in Liaojing Prefecture has a profound foundation, but it is far from being a standout yet.

With no choice but to do so, Lu Chunfeng could only kneel down to the Emperor's banner.

This time, the person kneeling was the Emperor Banner, but he was also kneeling in disguise, Lin Yi!

Lu Chunfeng was totally dissatisfied. Lin Yi was just a leek in his eyes. How could any master kneel to a leek in public?

 But the situation forced him to kneel down even if he didn't want to.

Unless something breaks and the careful layout of the Lu family in Liaojing Prefecture for so many years is broken, in that case, he will no longer be Lu Chunfeng.

What Lu Chunfeng didn't know was that when he knelt down this time, it seemed that he was disgusted by Lin Yi at first glance. It was a loss of face, but it would not have any real impact.

But from Lin Yi's perspective, through the induction of the strange seed in the new world, he clearly saw the tug-of-war between Lu Chunfeng and Cheng Shuang'er, and an obvious imbalance appeared with this kneeling.

 In Si Nanjie's evaluation, Cheng Shuang'er has a stronger influence on the future than Lu Chunfeng.

 Just because of their weakness in reality, the tug-of-war between the two sucking each other's blood fell into a balance of power, and it seemed that no one could do anything to the other in a short period of time.

 But after Lu Chunfeng knelt down, the balance began to tilt obviously towards Cheng Shuang'er.

 The strong must not kneel down lightly.

 The tilt was not large, but Lin Yi could see it clearly.

 Cheng Shuang'er started sucking blood from Lu Chunfeng!

Given the huge difference in size between them, Lu Chunfeng couldn't even notice it for a while, but for Cheng Shuang'er, even if he only absorbed one hundred thousandth of it from Lu Chunfeng, it would be an earth-shaking change!

In just a blink of an eye, Cheng Shuang'er's personal strength and luck reserves have doubled.

 And this is just the beginning.

Lu Chunfeng would never have thought that he, who had always regarded everyone else as a leek, would one day become someone else's leek, especially when the other person was a little-known and weak woman.

At this time, as Lu Chunfeng knelt down, the only person still standing at the scene was Mr. Qi.

His face is still full of unruliness, he is still the young master Qi who is not afraid of anything and is not stingy in his misfortune.

 But deep in his eyes, there was clearly a struggle.
