After seeing off His Royal Highness Prince Chen, Lin Bai returned to the room to rest for a while.
The next step is to find out the location of Lanting Xiaozhu.
According to Lin Bai's judgment, this small courtyard should be within the imperial capital.
But the imperial capital is so huge that finding this small courtyard is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
In the remaining few days, Lin Bai, Qin Yao, Fang Yuanshu, Ye Guyu, and Qiao Mo used the excuse of playing to conduct secret visits in the imperial capital, looking for traces of Lanting Xiaozhu.
This day.
Imperial Capital, in the East City.
On the seventh floor of a restaurant, Lin Bai, Qiao Mo, Qin Yao, Fang Yuanshu, and Ye Guyu were sitting at a table by the window, looking out at the bustling market.
"In the past few days, we have basically searched all the areas within the Zhao family, but we have not found the location of Lanting Xiaozhu."
"I don't know where this little Orchid Pavilion building is?"
Qiao Mo and Qin Yao sighed softly.
Lanting Xiaozhu, since it belongs to the Zhao family.
Then the place Lin Bai, Qiao Mo and others were looking for must be within the scope of the Zhao family's residence.
But after searching all over, there is still no trace of Lanting Xiaozhu.
Moreover, without using the intelligence network of the Zhaoxing Division and the Dark World, trying to find Lanting Xiaozhu within the imperial capital would undoubtedly be like finding a needle in a haystack.
But having used the power of the Zhaoxing Division and the Dark World, I'm afraid this matter will soon be publicized.
If His Highness the Third Prince knew that Lin Bai was looking for Lanting Xiaozhu, he would probably move the deceased child.
So there was no other way. Lin Bai could only take matters into his own hands and search slowly within the imperial capital.
Lin Bai frowned, frowning and thinking: "Are we looking in the wrong direction?"
Qiao Mo asked in confusion: "What does Brother Shengzi mean by this? Since Lanting Xiaozhu belongs to the Zhao family's residence, it should naturally be within the scope of the Zhao family's residence? Is there any other mistake?"
?”
Lin Bai couldn't help but think of Ren Xin at this moment.
Ren Xin is the weapon refiner of Tianji Pavilion. In addition to the residence provided by Tianji Pavilion, he also has other residences in the imperial capital.
Lin Bai wondered whether Lanting Xiaozhu was not the residence of the Zhao family, but the private residence of a certain warrior of the Zhao family?
At this time.
A black crow fell from the sky and landed on Lin Bai's shoulder.
"Crow, do you have any clues?"
After Lin Bai learned that the posthumous son was in Lanting Xiaozhu, he immediately informed Crow about the news.
Crow has great magical powers, so maybe he can find Lanting Xiaozhu more easily than Lin Bai and others.
Crow curled his lips and said: "This imperial capital is so huge. Looking for a small house is like looking for a needle in a haystack. How can it be so easy?"
Lin Bai smiled bitterly, without getting angry, and said calmly: "Of course it won't be that easy. Since the third prince is willing to put his posthumous son in Lanting Xiaozhu, it means that this place is absolutely safe."
"Don't be in a hurry, just take your time and look for it. Just treat it as if you're visiting the imperial capital."
Lin Bai smiled slightly. Anyway, Emperor Chu had taken back the sword-wielding tokens of the Zhaoxing Division, so Lin Bai didn't have to worry about the affairs of the Zhaoxing Division.
Next, we will slowly wander around the imperial capital and look for the Orchid Pavilion.
Time passed in the blink of an eye.
Half a month passed quietly.
During the past half month, Lin Bai often visited the imperial capital with Qiao Mo, Qin Yao and others, and sometimes drank and had fun with Meng Qixian, Nie Shang, Lu Qingjun, Yi Heze and Chen Yule.
But Lin Bai and others never went to Mingyuefang again.
Meng Qinxian had always wanted to go, but the others didn't dare.
If Lin Bai went there, he would definitely be stopped by Qiao Mo and Qin Yao again and questioned after he returned.
It is said that after Chen Yule returned to the family last time, he was severely scolded by his aunt Chen Yun and punished him by reciting the ancestral precepts in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights.
Lu Qingjun was also taught a lesson by his sister Lu Lingjun when he returned home. This was something Lin Bai did not expect. He did not expect that Lu Qingjun would be taught a lesson by his sister.
It seems that Lu Qingjun is very afraid of his sister.
After Yi Heze and Nie Shang returned to the sect, they were also reprimanded by the sect elders.
Everyone calmed down in unison, and even if they went out together, they were just drinking and having fun.
Half a month later.
Qiao Mo came to find Lin Bai, with a look of uncontrollable joy on his face, and said, "Brother Shengzi, there is news."
Lin Bai raised his eyebrows with joy and asked, "Is there any news about Lanting Xiaozhu?"
"Yes." Qiao Mo said, "Senior Sister Qin Yao and I were out playing just now. When we passed through an alley, we accidentally discovered a small courtyard, and above it was the Orchid Pavilion."
"Senior Sister Qin Yao is currently staring at Lanting Xiaozhu. I will inform you when I come back."
"Senior Brother Shengzi, you have no idea where this Orchid Pavilion is located."
After searching hard for half a month in the imperial capital, I finally found some traces of Lanting Xiaozhu.
"Where is it?" Lin Bai hurriedly asked: "Tell me as we walk, take me there and have a look."
Under the leadership of Qiao Mo, Lin Bai hurriedly left the Tianshui Sect palace.
Half an hour later.
Lin Bai and Qiao Mo walked up to the top of a restaurant. Qin Yao, Fang Yuanshu, and Ye Guyu all stood by the window, looking up at a house at the end of the lane ahead.
"Senior Brother Shengzi is here."
When Qin Yao saw Lin Bai and Qiao Mo approaching, a smile appeared on her face.
"Senior Brother Shengzi, come and see."
Qin Yao led Lin Bai to the window, raised her hand and pointed slightly.
Lin Bai followed Qin Yao's fingers and saw an extremely secret alley ahead.
And at the end of the alleyway, there is a closed vermilion gate.
Above the gate, there is a plaque hanging, which is clearly the "Lanting Xiaozhu".
Qin Yao said with a smile: "Today I came here with Junior Sister Qiao Mo, Fang Yuanshu, and Ye Guyu to play. I wanted to have a meal in the restaurant, but I didn't expect that I just sat down and looked up and saw
This little Orchid Pavilion building.”
Fang Yuanshu said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that this Orchid Pavilion would be here?"
Ye Guyu asked: "Brothers and sisters, it's better not to rush to a conclusion. The imperial capital is so huge, and there are many houses with the same name. Who knows if this house is the Orchid Pavilion we are looking for?
"
What Ye Guyu said makes sense.
The imperial capital occupies a vast area, with hundreds of millions of beings and countless mansions living within it.
There are many houses with the same name, and I don't know if the house in front of me is the house where the deceased was imprisoned.
Qin Yao said: "Senior Brother Shengzi, no one thought that this house would be here. This house is very close to the Zhaoxing Division!"
"Almost placed under the care of Zhao Xingsi."
Qin Yao raised her hand and pointed forward, allowing Lin Bai to see Zhaoxing Siguan Yamen in the distance.
Lin Bai said softly: "If there is any trouble here, the Zhaoxing Division will know the news immediately, and they will immediately take action to suppress it."
"So, this house is probably the one we are looking for!"
