Lin Bai was injured and had to recover for half a month.
Zuo Feiyu’s death is not being investigated further.
After half a month of recovery, Lin Bai's injury had improved seventy-seven.
On this day, I was practicing swordsmanship with Qiao Mo in the courtyard.
A man and a woman, with fierce sword skills and roaring sword intent. Although there was no earth-shattering sound, it can be seen that both of them have extraordinary attainments in the sword!
"I really didn't expect that Senior Sister Qiao Mo is so accomplished in the way of swordsmanship, and Junior Brother is willing to fall behind."
Lin Bai sheathed his sword and said to Qiao Mo with a smile.
Hearing this, Qiao Mo's pretty face turned red, "Senior Brother Shengzi, please stop teasing me. You are clearly giving in to me and not using your true skills at all. Otherwise, I probably won't even be able to block your sword."
Lin Bai smiled and did not elaborate.
Qiao Mo's swordsmanship skills are indeed good, but he has not yet crossed the threshold of sword heart.
And Lin Bai already possesses the third-level Sword Heart cultivation. Just as Qiao Mo said, if Lin Bai really wanted to kill Qiao Mo, it might be a matter of one sword.
"You guys should stop complimenting each other and come over and take a rest."
Qin Yao sat aside, smiling like a flower.
Lin Bai and Qiao Mo put away their swords respectively, walked to the table and sat down.
Fang Yuanshu and Ye Guyu were also nearby. They were sitting in the courtyard, drinking tea and chatting.
"This half month is a rare moment of leisure after coming to the imperial capital."
"I don't know what the situation is like in the imperial capital now."
"Has the Zhaoxing Division found the murderer of Zuo Feiyu?"
Qiao Mo handed the brewed tea to Lin Bai. Lin Bai took it and took a sip, with a strange look in his eyes.
He was still thinking about the situation in the imperial capital.
After all, the current situation in the imperial capital is treacherous, and a single move can affect the whole body.
The death of a holy son caused an uproar in the imperial capital.
"Calculating the time, the half-month limit set by Emperor Chu is almost here. Zhaoxing Division should also give an explanation to Emperor Chu."
Qin Yao's eyes lit up and she carefully calculated the time.
Lin Bai was injured and was recovering in the Tianshui Sect's palace for half a month, but the Chu Emperor stipulated that the case should be solved within half a month.
Now half a month has passed, no matter whether the Zhaoxing Division has caught the real culprit or not, they must give an explanation to Emperor Chu.
At this time.
Led by a maid, Zhou Wang, the chief steward of Prince Chen's Mansion, quickly arrived at Lin Bai's courtyard.
"Manager Zhou." Lin Bai stood up and shouted with a smile.
"Shangqing Lin Bai." When Zhou Wang saw Lin Bai, he bowed respectfully, "His Royal Highness King Chen asked this old slave to come and see the injury of Shangqing Lin Bai."
Lin Bai looked as usual and replied, "Excuse me, Manager Zhou, to tell His Highness Prince Chen that I'm fine."
"If His Highness learns that Lord Lin Bai has improved and is fine, he will definitely smile."
Zhou Wang said with a smile, but his expression became extremely complicated, and he felt like he was hesitant to speak.
Lin Bai frowned slightly and saw Zhou Wang's strange behavior, so he asked, "Manager Zhou, why do you hesitate to speak? Is His Royal Highness Prince Chen in trouble?"
When Lin Bai asked, Zhou Wang hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Sir Lin Bai, your Highness was originally unwilling for me to tell you this matter, but I saw that Your Highness has been busy and worried these past few days, so I came here.
Inform Sir Lin Bai."
"I hope that Lord Lin Bai can help and solve His Highness's problems."
Lin Bai raised his spirits and his eyes were sharp, "What happened?"
Lin Bai keenly sensed that something big must have happened in the imperial capital during the half month he was recovering from his injuries, otherwise His Highness Prince Chen would not have been so troubled and troubled.
Qiao Mo and Qin Yao also turned to look at Zhou Wang with doubts on their faces.
Zhou Wang looked solemn and whispered, "Three days ago, another Holy Son died in the Moon Palace."
What!
When Lin Bai heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.
Qiao Mo, Qin Yao, Fang Yuanshu, and Ye Guyu also shrank their pupils, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
Another Son of God dies?
In just one month, two holy sons died in succession in the imperial capital?
Lin Bai's face was solemn. He finally understood why His Highness Prince Chen was so troubled and troubled.
The death of a holy son might be an accident.
Although Emperor Chu ordered the case to be solved within half a month, even if the real culprit was not caught, Zhao Xingsi could casually place the crime on a cult or demon and then hand it over to Emperor Chu.
The Emperor of Chu could also use this to give an explanation to the Gui Yi Sect and the Chu warriors.
This matter can be put aside for the time being.
But if there is a Holy Son who keeps causing trouble in the imperial capital, then we can't just mess around with it.
Lin Bai looked solemn, feeling the seriousness of the matter, "Which holy son died?"
Manager Zhou said: "Three days ago, in the territory of the Qitian Sect, one of the nine sects of the Qitian Sect, the eldest son of the Beidou Sect, the eldest son Hongxuan, died in the Danyun Palace of Miss Yunyan, the oiran of the Moon Palace."
Lin Bai's eyes narrowed, it was one of the nine sects of Qitian again!
The last holy son who died was Zuo Feiyu, who was also one of the Nine Sects of Qitian.
Changsun Hongxuan, who died now, was also one of the nine sects of Qitian?
How could it be such a coincidence?
Could it be that the real murderer was killing the nine major sects in Qitian Sect's territory one by one?
And he died in the Moon Palace.
Is the Moon Palace so evil? Is it the burial place of the Holy Son?
Moreover, what puzzled Lin Bai the most was... how could a saint-son-level figure from the two major sects die just because he wanted to?
So weak?
Could it be that some Daluo Daoguo realm warrior took action to kill them?
But Lin Bai thought it was impossible. If a Daluo Daoguo realm warrior really took action, it would definitely cause a huge storm.
Manager Zhou further informed Lin Bai of the Zhaoxing Division’s investigation in detail, “Three days ago, Li Mo, the holy son of the Li family, hosted a banquet for the eldest son of the Beidou Sect, Sun Hongxuan, the holy son of the Xuanming Sect, Dugu Ming, and the holy son of the Yang Sect, Mei Lin.
Having fun in Danyun Palace."
"Drinking too much, Changsun Hongxuan, Dugu Ming, Mei Lin, and Li Mo all stayed overnight in Danyun Palace."
"Early the next morning, Changsun Hongxuan was found dead in Danyun Palace."
"And her injuries are almost the same as those of Zuo Feiyu. They were both stabbed through the heart."
After hearing what Manager Zhou said, Lin Bai's face became solemn.
This is too much of a coincidence, right?
Lin Bai frowned, "There is still no sign of fighting in Danyun Palace?"
Manager Zhou shook his head, "No."
Lin Bai asked again, "Didn't anyone, including the Danyun Palace oiran and Li Mo, notice anything strange that night?"
Manager Zhou shook his head, "No."
Lin Bai sighed softly and had a splitting headache.
Not to mention His Royal Highness Prince Chen, who was in the bureau, even Lin Bai, who was outside the bureau, felt a huge headache from this.
I don't understand what the real murderer wants to do?
Is it to kill the Holy Son for fun?
Or does he want to show off his own strength?
Manager Zhou sighed softly, "As soon as this incident came out, several elders of the Beidou Sect rushed to Emperor Chu and made a scene. Emperor Chu was furious when he heard what he said and ordered His Highness King Chen to reveal the truth as soon as possible, otherwise, the consequences would be serious.
"
Lin Bai raised his eyebrows, "Zuo Feiyu's death? Did the Zhaoxing Division find anything out of the investigation?"
Manager Zhou looked livid and shook his head repeatedly, "The Zhaoxing Division found nothing, so they deliberately framed the crime on a cult. Then Master Zhu Mo led his people to wipe out the cult and give an explanation to Emperor Chu."
"But with the death of Chief Sun Hongxuan, this method can no longer be used."
"So for this reason, His Highness Prince Chen can't sleep at night."
"His Highness knew that you were injured, so he didn't come to tell you about it specifically so that you could heal your injuries in peace of mind."
"But this old servant really can't bear to see His Highness King Chen working so hard, especially..." Speaking of this, Manager Zhou hesitated and said: "Especially when His Highness King Chen finally returned to the capital, if there is a commotion because of this matter,
If it is too big, His Highness King Chen may be demoted from the capital under the wrath of Emperor Chu!"
