Lin Bai walked forward in the rain, with a gloomy face and a pair of eyes in his eye sockets.
His mind was running rapidly, quickly sorting out the intricate relationships in the imperial capital!
"First of all, we need to find out what his goal is?"
"If I am the real murderer, what good will I get after killing Zuo Feiyu?"
"Can killing Zuo Feiyu provoke a dispute between the Guiyi Sect and the Chu State? Obviously not. The Guiyi Sect is only the top sect of the Qitian Sect and does not have the strength to compete with the Chu State."
"Is killing him to stir up the turmoil in the imperial capital? It is possible, but the risk is too great. People from ordinary cults and demons will probably not be stupid enough to kill a holy son to stir up the turmoil in the imperial capital!"
"After all, killing the Holy Son will not only anger the Chu State, but the sect that killed the Holy Son will also go to war!"
"Even if those cults and demons are tired of living, they will not choose this way to die."
"In that case, the person who killed Zuo Feiyu was not trying to stir up a dispute between the Guiyi Sect and the Chu State, nor was he trying to stir up the turmoil in the imperial capital. So he must have had ulterior motives."
"What is he planning?"
"What is there in the imperial capital for him to plot?"
"And the person who can kill Zuo Feiyu or dares to kill Zuo Feiyu must be an extremely powerful person in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm. If it is done by a cult or a demon, it must also be the most powerful cult and demon cult in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm.
!”
"If it is a cult or a demon, the Zhaoxing Division can investigate the matter carefully. The main purpose is to track down the strongest cult and demon within the territory of Chu State."
"..."
"After killing Zuo Feiyu, why did you kill Changsun Hongxuan again?"
"What was his purpose in killing Changsun Hongxuan?"
What Lin Bai couldn't understand the most was why that man killed Zhang Sun Hongxuan after killing Zuo Feiyu?
When Lin Bai was thinking hard, he suddenly felt that the ice rain falling on him seemed to be blocked.
"Has the rain stopped?"
Lin Bai raised his head in confusion, only to find that the rain in the Imperial Capital had not stopped, but the edge of an oil-paper umbrella appeared above his head, covering Lin Bai's body and blocking the falling rain.
Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, and a faint fragrance came from his side and penetrated into his mouth and nose.
This fragrance was elegant and refined, like a fairy. A whiff of it made Lin Bai's depression disappear, and even his groggy head regained some clarity.
He turned around and saw a stunning beauty standing next to him holding an umbrella.
Under the oil-paper umbrella, she does not apply makeup, but is elegant and refined, with exquisite facial features and charming beauty. She is wearing a long white dress embroidered with a blooming green lotus, and three thousand green silk threads are fluttering in the wind, as if she is inviting the wind and rain to dance together.
A song.
"Miss Chen Xian?" Lin Bai looked at the woman beside him in surprise.
This girl is actually the top courtesan of the Moon Palace, Miss Shen Xian.
Miss Shen Xian took advantage of the oil-paper umbrella and showed a sweet smile on her red lips.
This smile makes heaven and earth eclipse.
The woman she is today is not like the woman Lin Bai saw in Yaotai that day.
That day, she was busy planting wild flowers in the mountains. She was covered in soil, just like a peasant woman.
Today, she came holding an umbrella, smiling like a flower, wearing a long white dress with the sound of green lotus, like a green lotus fairy emerging from the mud but not stained.
"I see that Holy Son Lin Bai seems to be preoccupied and is walking alone in the rain. The little girl came here under the umbrella. Didn't she disturb Holy Son Lin Bai's thinking?" Miss Shen Xian asked with a smile.
"Heh." Lin Bai smiled brightly and shook his head, burying the worry and gloom in his eyes and regaining his energy.
Miss Shen Xian slightly raised the oil-paper umbrella, glanced at the restaurant next to her with bright eyes, and said with a smile, "This restaurant was opened by my father's old department outside Mingyuefang. There is a kind of wine in it called 'Zhejian'
', extremely spicy, domineering and decisive."
"I don't like it, but when my father was still alive, I liked it very much."
"I invite Holy Son Lin Bai to have a drink, as an apology to Holy Son Lin Bai!"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Bai understood Miss Chen Xian's intention today.
That day, Zhang Linghu indiscriminately wounded Lin Bai, and after Pan Qing arrived in the imperial capital, he punched Zhang Linghu three times and seriously injured him. If Miss Shen Xian hadn't come to the rescue in time, Zhang Linghu might not have been able to escape so easily that day.
Miss Shen Xian also understood that Tianshui Sect was about to rise and needed to establish its authority at this moment. He did not want Pan Qing of Tianshui Sect to stare at them, so he thought about asking Lin Bai to apologize.
Before Miss Shen Xian came to visit, Lin Bai walked to Mingyuefang in the rain.
After Miss Shen Xian learned the news, she came with an umbrella.
It stands to reason that no warrior within the Chu Kingdom would have any reason to refuse the invitation from Miss Shen Xian, the most beautiful lady in the imperial capital.
But Lin Bai wanted to refuse.
"No need, Miss Shen Xian, don't take it to heart. I had no intention of pursuing the matter of my injury. Otherwise, the elder of Tianshui Sect would have made a big fuss in front of Emperor Chu at this moment."
Lin Bai declined with a smile and made it clear that he would not pursue the matter.
"Thank you very much, Holy Son Lin Bai." Miss Shen Xian thanked her first, and then said: "Sheng Zi Lin Bai must be worried about the deaths of Zuo Feiyu and Changsun Hongxuan, right?"
"If Holy Son Lin Bai wants to have a drink, maybe I can help Holy Son Lin Bai."
When Lin Bai heard this, his heart suddenly sank, and he looked at Miss Shen Xian in slight surprise.
There was a strange light in his eyes inadvertently. If Miss Shen Xian was willing to help, Lin Bai might be able to get some clues that were not easy to know.
"In that case, I really want to try the 'Zhejian' wine that Prince Hong likes. What kind of wine is it?" Lin Bai smiled.
"Sir Lin Bai, please." Miss Shen Xian smiled, made a gesture, and walked into the nearby restaurant with Lin Bai.
Restaurant, on the second floor.
Zhang Linghu and the old man in black robe were stunned when they saw Miss Shen Xian coming to Lin Bai holding an umbrella.
They knew their young master very well. Ever since the incident with Prince Hong, Miss Shen Xian seemed to have become a completely different person. She had been planting wild flowers on the Moon Palace.
As she said, seeing too many people makes you sick.
For many years, Miss Chen Xian rarely left the Moon Palace, and she never saw any man except the royal family. Even the saints of the five families and seven sects of the imperial capital found it extremely difficult to see her.
Zhang Linghu and the old man in black robe looked surprised, wondering why Miss Shen Xian suddenly appeared outside Mingyuefang today.
"This boy is so courageous that he asked the princess to hold an umbrella for him!" Zhang Linghu looked at him, his eyes were blood red with anger, his whole body was shaking, and his face looked like he wanted to cut Lin Bai into pieces with a thousand knives.
"I'll go down and kill him right now!"
Zhang Linghu roared and rushed down.
But the old man in black robe hurriedly grabbed him and said angrily: "Zhang Linghu, please save it. If it weren't for you, how could the princess hold an umbrella for him!"
Zhang Linghu was stunned for a moment, and then he understood something. He felt guilty and blamed himself: "Princess Princess..."
The old man in black robe took a deep breath, looked at the man and woman under the umbrella, and chuckled: "Don't tell me, these two are quite a match!"
