His Highness King Chen dismissed the envoys, musicians and dancers, and talked with Lin Bai about the current affairs in the imperial capital.
Lin Bai asked in a deep voice: "I heard Sect Leader Chu Xi say something about the Twelve Princes. I wonder if His Highness Prince Chen has properly handled the matters in Xie Yue Qianzhou? Has the posthumous son been found?
"
The affairs of the Twelve Princes are considered taboo in Chu State.
Naturally, Lin Bai didn't say how much he knew. He just asked if the posthumous child had been found.
The posthumous son does not seem to pose much danger to His Highness Prince Chen, but if the third prince finds a suitable opportunity to take out the posthumous son, it will definitely cause heavy damage to His Highness Prince Chen.
His Highness Prince Chen sighed softly, shook his head and said: "When my troops arrived at Xie Yue Qianzhou, the posthumous son had already been taken away. I guess... it must be the third prince's person."
"Although I don't know where he is at the moment? But he must be in the imperial capital."
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince has already brought him to the imperial capital."
His Highness King Chen keenly sensed that after the posthumous son was taken away by the Third Prince's men, he must have brought him to the imperial capital.
I just don’t know where the third prince is hiding him now? How he plans to use this person.
His Highness King Chen said to Lin Bai: "Brother Lin, I know that Tianshui Sect has just experienced a great catastrophe. At this moment, it is full of waste and needs people. I didn't want to invite you to the imperial capital in such a hurry, but the situation in the imperial capital is special now.
Seriously, I can no longer deal with the imperial capital with my own strength."
"Although I had a group of old men in the imperial capital a thousand years ago, I also gathered them together during this time."
"But who can guarantee that they will continue to be loyal to me after a thousand years have passed?"
Thousands of years ago, His Highness King Chen was one of the most powerful princes in the imperial capital and the most favorable contender for the throne.
At that time, His Highness King Chen also had a group of people loyal to him.
For example, Zhou Wang, who just came to greet Lin Bai and others, was the person who loyal to His Highness King Chen a thousand years ago.
However, thousands of years ago, after the incident involving the Twelve Princes broke out, His Highness King Chen was implicated and was demoted from the imperial capital.
Those who were loyal to His Highness King Chen were also scattered.
Although His Highness King Chen has summoned the old troops from back then, a thousand years have passed, and His Highness King Chen is not sure how many people are still loyal to him, and how many people have been bribed by the third prince and become the princes of other cities.
of hidden piles.
His Highness King Chen said: "So, I have to ask you to come to the imperial capital to help me at this moment."
Lin Bai nodded slightly and said: "Several ancestors of Tianshui Sect have left seclusion. At present, the sect's affairs have been handed over to the ancestors. I don't have anything else to do in Shuijing Sea. If I enter the Imperial City, I can help Your Highness.
A few, that would naturally be excellent.”
"I wonder what His Highness needs me to do?"
Lin Bai asked His Highness King Chen.
His Highness King Chen stretched out two fingers and said: "Two things."
"First, help me find the orphan of the Twelve Princes. He is extremely important to me. I must preserve the last trace of the bloodline of the Twelve Princes."
Lin Bai nodded, already guessing in his heart that His Highness Prince Chen invited him to enter the imperial capital in order to find the bloodline of the Twelve Princes.
After all, the current situation in the imperial capital for His Highness Prince Chen is delicate. He cannot go in person to find the bloodline of the twelfth prince, otherwise he will be caught by the third prince and cause another storm.
His Highness King Chen continued: "The second thing is to help me maintain law and order in the imperial capital."
"Right now, the imperial capital is a mixed bag. Disciples from large sects and families from all over the demon world are gathered in the imperial capital. Among them are some dandy boys and some arrogant and arrogant saints and saints. They are in their respective sects and families.
, I’m used to being reckless, and I’m afraid I won’t restrain myself when I come to the imperial capital.”
"Also...the birthday of Emperor Chu is a grand event that happens once every ten thousand years in the demon world. There will inevitably be many demons, cult members, etc. in the imperial capital. We must beware of them taking advantage of the situation and causing trouble."
This is the second difficulty that His Highness King Chen encountered.
When Lin Bai went to the imperial capital, Li Guxian mentioned this matter, and Lin Bai also knew that this matter had great advantages and disadvantages.
His Highness King Chen said: "During the birthday of Emperor Chu, the Imperial Capital Zhaoxing Division and the garrison are all at my disposal."
"Brother Lin, I will arrange for you to become the 'sword bearer' of the Zhaoxing Division. You don't have to patrol the streets every day like the garrison and the warriors of the Zhaoxing Division. You only need to use the sword bearer's skills at critical moments.
Identity, just help me deal with some difficult problems."
The full name of the sword-bearing envoy of Zhaoxingsi is: "the envoy who holds the emperor's sword".
The Emperor's Sword refers to Emperor Chu.
The envoy holding the Emperor's Sword refers to the imperial envoys of Emperor Chu.
This official position is neither too big nor too small.
His position within the Zhaoxing Division is to supervise the warriors of the Zhaoxing Division to ensure that they do not engage in malpractice for personal gain.
But usually, only the Emperor of Chu is qualified to send sword-bearers.
so.
If His Highness King Chen wants to arrange for Lin Bai to become the sword bearer, he also needs to submit a letter to His Majesty the Emperor of Chu. After the Emperor of Chu agrees, Lin Bai can take office.
Although the nine Tianshui Sect elders including Qiao Mo, Qin Yao, and the second elder did not become sword bearers, under the arrangement of His Highness King Chen, they also put on a robe belonging to the Zhaoxing Division to facilitate their presence in the imperial capital.
Act within.
Lin Bai nodded repeatedly: "His Royal Highness Chen's arrangement has saved us a lot of trouble, and it will be much more convenient for us to operate in the imperial capital."
His Highness King Chen nodded slightly: "But I still don't want you, the 'sword wielder', to take action. If it is really necessary for the sword wielder to take action, then this matter must be extremely serious."
The banquet didn't end until late at night.
At the banquet, Qiao Mo, Qin Yao and others remained silent and listened quietly to Lin Bai and His Highness Prince Chen discussing the current situation in the imperial capital.
His Highness King Chen said: "Brother Lin, you have just arrived in the imperial capital. You are tired from traveling and traveling, so please go and rest first."
"I have arranged for you to live in another courtyard. If you are not used to it, you can return to the Tianshui Sect's palace in the imperial capital. I have also ordered people to clean it out."
Lin Bai cupped his hands and thanked him: "Then let's go back to the palace to live. Anyway, it's not far from Prince Chen's Mansion and it's very convenient to get there."
His Highness Prince Chen nodded repeatedly and said: "Zhou Wang is the chief steward of Prince Chen's Mansion. If Brother Lin comes to me in an emergency and I am not in the Prince's Mansion, Brother Lin can just go to Zhou Wang. He is a trustworthy person."
.”
Lin Bai glanced at the old man standing behind His Royal Highness Prince Chen.
Just now, His Highness King Chen dismissed everyone except this old man. Apparently he had great trust in this old man.
Zhou Wang cupped his hands and said, "Please ask Lin Bai for your advice in the future."
Lin Bai smiled slightly: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
The banquet is over.
Everyone from the Tianshui Sect left Prince Chen's Mansion, boarded the Qinglong Beast chariot, and returned to the Tianshui Sect's palace in the imperial capital.
