There is only half a month left before Emperor Chu's birthday.
This day.
Lin Bai was sitting in his house, gently wiping the demon sword and measuring ruler, with a calm and indifferent expression.
Bai Yifei, Zhou Xinjun, Li Juenian, Yi Zien, Qin Yao, Qiao Mo, Fang Yuanshu, Ye Guyu and others all gathered in his mansion.
Compared with Lin Bai's calmness, their expressions all looked a little anxious.
"It's been how many days. Hasn't Prince Hong's Mansion still completed the matter?"
"There is still half a month until Emperor Chu's birthday. If Xia Jingzhi comes out after the birthday, it will be too late."
"Why hasn't the news come yet?"
Zhou Xinjun, Fang Yuanshu and others all spoke in low voices, with anxiety in their tone and expression.
Even the usually calm Bai Yifei and the aloof Li Juenian looked a little uneasy at this moment.
Emperor Chu's birthday is still half a month away.
But now Xia Jingzhi has not been arrested, which makes everyone in Tianshui Sect extremely anxious.
But there was still no news from Prince Hong's Mansion. Although everyone in the Tianshui Sect was extremely anxious, they could only stand still.
Several people were restless and anxious in the house, but Lin Bai calmed down.
Bai Yifei hesitated several times and stared at Lin Bai, "Senior Brother Shengzi, aren't you anxious?"
Lin Bai wiped the demon sword, "What's the use of being anxious? There's very little we can do now."
"The imperial capital is like a big net, and we are just an insignificant thread in this big net."
"Our power cannot influence the overall situation of the Imperial Capital at all, let alone disturb the situation in the Imperial Capital."
"Currently, only Prince Hong's Palace is qualified to infiltrate Sun Moon Pavilion and contact Xia Jingzhi."
"We have no choice but to believe in Prince Hong's Mansion."
"If Prince Hong's Palace cannot accomplish this, then it is even less possible for us to accomplish this."
"So, we have no other choice but to wait."
In fact, before pinning his hopes on Prince Hong's Mansion, Lin Bai had also considered other countermeasures.
I want to find Xia Jingzhi with my own strength, or with other people.
But in the end, nothing was gained.
Prince Hong's Mansion has been plotting in the Imperial Capital for many years, and their eyes and connections are spread throughout the palaces of all the major forces in the Imperial Capital.
Even in the Sun and Moon Pavilion of the Third Prince, there are confidants from Prince Hong's Mansion.
This is not something that can be accomplished in a year or two. It will take at least thousands of years of planning to achieve this point.
Since the Tianshui Sect fell into decline, the sect has been closed for ten thousand years, and no one in the imperial capital has been active, so it was naturally cut off.
At the moment, Lin Bai has almost no other option except relying on Prince Hong's Mansion.
After hearing Lin Bai's explanation and analysis, Bai Yifei and others fell silent again.
Although they were extremely anxious in their hearts, they also knew that Lin Bai was right. At this moment, there was almost no other way except to wait patiently.
Suddenly this time.
Lin Bai froze while wiping the sword. If he felt something in his heart, he immediately patted the storage bag and a sound transmission token flew out from it.
This voice transmission token is the voice transmission token of Miss Shen Xian, the princess of Prince Hong's Mansion.
After taking out the token, Miss Chen Xian's voice immediately came from the token, "Everything is in order."
"Three days later, outside the imperial capital, in the mountains and forests on the eastern outskirts, there is Star Picking Mountain."
"Master Langhou is coming over here, and we will confirm the final details of the ambush."
After hearing the voice, Lin Bai raised his hand and put away the demon sword and the measuring ruler, his face turned cold and cold.
"Go to Prince Hong's Mansion!" Lin Bai didn't say much, and walked out directly, heading towards Prince Hong's Mansion.
Bai Yifei, Zhou Xinjun, Yi Zien and others looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, but they hurriedly followed.
However, when they heard that they were going to Prince Hong's Mansion, they still had some suspicions in their hearts.
It seems that Prince Hong's Mansion has settled the matter.
Lin Bai was already engaged to Miss Shen Xian, so even if he visited Prince Hong's Mansion every day, it would not arouse the alertness of other forces.
Arriving at the study room of Prince Hong's Mansion, Lin Bai raised his eyes and saw that the study room was full of warriors.
Some of these warriors looked like they were elegant when they had read poetry and books, but there was a sinister and cunning look on their faces.
These people are obviously all treacherous people loyal to Prince Hong's Mansion, and the leader among them is clearly Chao Yushi.
Others, on the other hand, exuded murderous intent, had stiff faces, and showed no anger or authority.
The aura on their bodies was like thousands of troops charging into battle, making people afraid to look directly at them.
These people are obviously all experts in the military department of Prince Hong's Palace.
Among them, Lin Bai saw the figure of "Zhang Linghu".
There were only five treacherous men in the study, but there were more than twenty generals who went into battle to kill the enemy.
Among them are three more Daluo Daoguo realm cultivations, and the rest are all Taiyi Daoguo realm cultivation realms.
This was the first time Lin Bai saw the background of Prince Hong's Mansion, and he didn't expect it to be so profound.
As Lin Bai led the Tianshui Sect people into the study, everyone's eyes in the study fell on Lin Bai and the Tianshui Sect disciples.
"Princess." Lin Bai stepped forward, raised his hands and said to Miss Shen Xian.
"Sit down first." Miss Shen Xian said calmly, and asked Lin Bai and everyone in the Tianshui Sect to sit down.
After Lin Bai sat down, he couldn't wait to ask Chao Yushi: "Mr. Chao, has that matter been settled?"
Chao Yushi nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's done."
"Xia Jingzhi has agreed to meet, and the time has been set in three days. The location is Zhaixing Mountain."
Chao Yushi said to Lin Bai: "I came to Lord Lang today to discuss the final details."
He paused, and his eyes revealed the look of a hunter who was still lying in wait, finally seeing the fierce light of his prey falling into a trap.
"What I mean is..." Chao Yushi slowly expressed his opinion, "Mr. Langhou took his men to Zhaixing Mountain in advance to find a reliable place to ambush."
"When the agreed time arrives, Tu Yue will go to Zhaixing Mountain to wait for Xia Jingzhi's arrival."
When Chao Yushi talked about Tu Yue, he pointed at a burly man sitting on the general's seat.
Lin Bai took a quick look and saw this man. He was more than two meters tall. He was tall and powerful, with a strong back and a strong waist. If he were wearing armor, he would be a majestic general.
He has a dark complexion, a rigid face, and a serious expression on his face, exuding a sense of majesty.
"I have heard about Lord Langhou for a long time, and now that I have seen him, he is really a hero." Tu Yue bowed his hands to Lin Bai.
"I'd like to thank Senior Tu Yue for this matter," Lin Bai said in return.
Tu Yue smiled and said, "Since it is the princess's order, then of course the general will not hesitate to die."
"At that time, on Zhaixing Mountain, please ask Master Lang to lead some men and ambush them all around."
"I will stand on the Star Reaching Mountain and wait for Xia Jingzhi's arrival."
"As long as Xia Jingzhi arrives, Lord Wolf can start the siege."
Lin Bai nodded and said: "It's just that after this incident, Senior Tu Yue may not be able to stay in the Sun and Moon Pavilion, and maybe he won't even be able to stay in the Imperial Capital."
Tu Yue laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, we soldiers have already put life and death aside."
"I've long been tired of staying in the Sun Moon Pavilion and the Imperial Capital."
"After this matter is over, I will leave the imperial capital temporarily. I will only come back when the situation is stable."
"Mr. Chao has already made arrangements."
Lin Bai felt relieved when he heard that Chao Yushi had arranged Tu Yue's escape route.
The next step is to surround and kill Xia Jingzhi.
