Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

The imperial capital, Prince Hong's Mansion.

Under the leadership of the maid of the palace, Lin Bai and others came to the study room of the palace and saw Miss Shen Xian and Chao Yushi.

Miss Shen Xian was originally discussing things with others in the study, but after hearing Lin Bai's arrival, she drank the others away, leaving only Chao Yushi.

Walking into the study, Miss Shen Xian sat on the main seat. When she saw Lin Bai, who looked haggard and pale, she couldn't help but frowned, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so haggard?"

Lin Bai first bowed his hands and smiled bitterly, "Don't mention it, it's annoying to death."

Chao Yushi sat aside silently, and immediately became interested when he heard that Lin Bai was worried.

It is a rare thing that in such a huge imperial capital, the Holy Son of Tianshui Sect, the Wolf Marquis of Chu State, and the current celebrity in front of His Highness King Chen and the Emperor of Chu can be upset.

Chao Yushi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Did Mr. Langhou encounter any trouble?"

Lin Bai looked calm and glanced at Chao Yushi, "I found Xia Jingzhi!"

What! ...Miss Chen Xian and Chao Yushi were both shocked and a little horrified.

After Prince Hong's Mansion decided to help Lin Bai, they mobilized all the intelligence to search for Xia Jingzhi.

But now, several months have passed, and still nothing has been found. But he didn't expect to be found by Lin Bai himself?

But Chao Yushi was also very strange. Lin Bai had already found Xia Jingzhi, whom he longed for day and night, so why was he still so upset?

Chao Yushi asked in confusion, "Since Lord Langhou has found Xia Jingzhi, he should be happy. Why is he so frowning?"

Lin Bai sighed softly, "This is the crux of the problem... Do you know where I found Xia Jingzhi?"

Chao Yushi's pupils narrowed, realizing that things were not simple, "Where?"

Lin Bai stared at Chao Yushi with an extremely serious expression, "The guild hall in the Worm Valley of Southern Xinjiang!"

What! ... Chao Yushi and Miss Shen Xian were shocked again. The horror in their hearts was completely revealed on their faces, and they looked at Lin Bai with wide eyes.

They obviously did not expect that Lin Bai would actually find Xia Jingzhi in the guild hall in the Worm Valley of Southern Xinjiang?

How is this possible?

Chao Yushi asked in surprise: "Master Langhou, may I ask one more question... Is this the guild hall in the Worm Valley in the southern part of the imperial capital?"

Lin Bai nodded and asked, "Yes."

Chao Yushi asked: "Is Lord Langhou's information accurate?"

Lin Bai said: "Totally accurate!"

After hearing Lin Bai's firm answer, Chao Yushi sat gloomily on his chair without saying a word.

His face gradually became serious, his eyes couldn't stop turning in their sockets, and his whole figure looked like a poisonous snake hiding in the darkness.

"Sit down first." Miss Shen Xian saw that Chao Yushi was deep in thought, so she ordered everyone in the Tianshui Sect to sit down first.

Lin Bai was sitting in the first place, his face was gloomy and he said nothing.

Chao Yushi thought in silence for a long time, then he raised his head and looked at Lin Bai, "So... Nanjiang Worm Valley knew that Xia Jingzhi was in the guild hall, but did not hurt him?"

Lin Bai said bluntly: "I guess... Xia Jingzhi betrayed Nanjiang Worm Valley thousands of years ago, and Nanjiang Worm Valley issued a demonic pursuit order for Xia Jingzhi. It was probably a scene."

"A play specially performed for the warriors of the Demon Realm... No, to be precise, it is a play performed for the warriors of the Chu Kingdom."

"The purpose of their doing this is to bring Xia Jingzhi to the Chu royal family and become their confidant."

If the words are not surprising, then I will die.

As soon as Lin Bai said this, Miss Shen Xian and Chao Yushi took a breath of cold air.

Chao Yushi spat out Hanshuang, "If this is really the case, then things will be troublesome. No wonder Lord Lang is so upset."

Immediately.

Lin Bai informed Chao Yushi of Xia Jingzhi's news, and also informed Chao Yushi of his speculations.

Chao Yushi nodded repeatedly, "It seems that Lord Langhou's speculation is not groundless. It is really possible that Xia Jingzhi is the secret agent arranged by the Worm Valley in Southern Xinjiang."

Lin Bai frowned and asked: "But I can't figure out what they want to do after Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley has spent so much effort?"

"What is it about the Chu State that attracts them and makes them spend thousands of years planning it?"

Chao Yushi did not rush to answer, but first glanced at Miss Shen Xian, hesitated a little, and said: "Of course there is what Nanjiang Worm Valley wants in Chu State, otherwise they would not be able to work so hard."

Chao Yushi was also dismissive and didn't say anything clearly. Lin Bai also saw that Chao Yushi didn't want to say it out loud, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Chao Yushi smiled bitterly, "Master Langhou, it's not that I don't want to speak out, but that with powerful forces like the Worm Valley in Southern Xinjiang, their plans must be extraordinary, and I'm not sure what they want. thing."

Lin Bai nodded in understanding. Forces like Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley have many plans. It may be a treasure, it may be a person, it may be a territory, it may be an opportunity...the things they plot. , it’s hard to tell clearly.

Lin Bai said: "I have discussed with His Highness Prince Chen... and decided to lure Xia Jingzhi out of the Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley Guild Hall and then capture him."

After hearing this, Chao Yushi nodded slightly: "Seize Xia Jingzhi outside the Worm Valley of Southern Xinjiang. In this way, the structure of the Chu Kingdom and the Worm Valley of Southern Xinjiang can be maintained."

"Master Langhou is a clever move."

Talking to smart people is just different.

Lin Bai did not tell the plan in detail, but just one sentence allowed Chao Yushi to see all Lin Bai's motives.

Chao Yushi thought for a while, "Just now, Lord Langhou said... Xia Jingzhi is hiding in the Worm Valley Guild Hall in Southern Xinjiang to refine the ghosts and gods?"

"If His Highness King Chen already knows about this matter, he must have gone to the palace to inform Emperor Chu."

Lin Bai said: "When I was discussing with His Highness King Chen, I told His Highness King Chen that I had no evidence, so I asked him not to inform Emperor Chu first."

Chao Yushi shook his head repeatedly, "Mr. Langhou doesn't understand. Members of the royal family always put the interests of the royal family first."

"Once a strange poison like the Cry of Ghosts and Gods, which can destroy a country, is released, it will be a disaster for the entire imperial capital."

"His Royal Highness King Chen is not ignorant of the importance. Even if there is no evidence, he will inform Emperor Chu of the matter and let Emperor Chu make the decision."

Chao Yushi looked up at the sky and counted the time, "Counting the time, His Highness Prince Chen should have almost reached the gate of the Golden Palace by now."

Lin Bai was shocked. Chao Yushi was so sure that His Highness King Chen would definitely enter the palace and inform Emperor Chu? And now he has reached the entrance of the Golden Palace?

Chao Yushi said: "Master Langhou, His Highness Prince Chen came to the palace to inform Emperor Chu. This is a good thing. Otherwise, if there is too much trouble, none of us except Emperor Chu will be able to control the situation. "

Lin Bai frowned, "But if this happens, wouldn't it be possible to alert the enemy?"

Chao Yushi sighed bitterly: "Plans can never keep up with changes. A wise man will make mistakes after all his considerations!"
