Lin Bai went to pay first. How dare the tavern owner accept Lin Bai's money? He kept saying that Lin Bai was invited and there was no need to pay.
But Lin Bai still left a lot of purple gold, enough to pay for the meal.
Arriving outside the tavern, Lin Bai, Meng Qinxian, Yi Heze, Lu Qingjun, and Chen Yule stood on the street, watching Jiang Xuansu, Qiao Mo, Qin Yao, and Miss Shen Xian board the deer cart and leave.
"Brother Chen, Brother Meng, Brother Yi, Brother Lu, you guys arrived just in time." Watching the deer cart slowly leaving, Lin Bai wiped his cold sweat with lingering fear.
After the four people saw the deer cart leaving, they all had smiles on their faces.
Chen Yule said: "Do you really think we passed by this place by chance?"
Lin Bai wondered, "Isn't it?"
Meng Qinxian grinned and said: "Chao Yushi from Prince Hong's Mansion just sent a message to us, saying that you are in a life-or-death disaster in this tavern, and we should come to rescue you as soon as possible."
Yi Heze breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Meng came over angrily, planning to have a big fight, but unexpectedly, there was no life and death fight, but... this kind of thing?"
Lu Qingjun said with a smile: "Brother Lin, you are so beautiful."
Lin Bai suddenly realized that it was Chao Yushi who sent someone to deliver the message so that Meng Qinxian and others could appear outside the tavern in time.
At this time.
Chao Yushi and Zhang Linghu, who did not leave with Miss Shen Xian, walked side by side to Lin Bai.
Chao Yushi heard the conversation between several people and said with a smile: "Master Langhou, there is no need to say thank you."
Lin Bai smiled silently and cast a grateful look at Chao Yushi.
Although Lin Bai felt that he was doing well, standing upright and had nothing to hide, Chao Yushi's move really eased Lin Bai's embarrassment.
Chao Yushi said to Lin Bai: "Lang Houye has an engagement with our Prince Hong's Palace. Late at night, Lord Lang made an appointment with a young woman in the imperial capital. Prince Hong's Palace got the news. If he didn't come, it would bring shame to the royal family. If he came,
It will embarrass Mr. Langhou."
"That's why I specially sent someone to deliver a message, asking Meng Qixian, Chen Yule and others to come to the rescue."
Lin Bai said gratefully: "Mr. Chao is interested."
Chao Yushi said: "Both Lord Lang and I are in the muddy water of the Imperial Capital. I know that Lord Lang has many things he cannot control."
"That's why I'm willing to help."
"But..." Chao Yushi paused, and then continued: "Never mind that the marriage contract between Lord Lang and our princess is a delaying tactic by His Majesty the Emperor of Chu, or it was intentional."
"Obviously, Lord Lang is still the prospective son-in-law of Prince Hong's Mansion, so it's better not to be too conspicuous in every move of Lord Lang."
"Otherwise, many people will be used to gossip."
Lin Bai understood Chao Yushi's words. He was reminding himself, so he smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chao, for the promotion. I'll remember it."
Chao Yushi sighed softly, looked up at the sky, and said, "There are still five days until Emperor Chu's birthday."
"Master Langhou, don't waste too much time elsewhere. Your attention now should be on purgatory."
"I wonder if there is news from Purgatory?"
Lin Bai frowned, "Don't Prince Hong's Mansion know about the news about Purgatory?"
Chao Yushi shook his head and said: "Purgatory belongs to another space alone, and the forces of Prince Hong's Mansion cannot explore it."
"So when I mentioned this matter, I wanted to ask Lord Lang to visit Prince Chen's Mansion more often and get some information from His Highness Prince Chen."
Lin Bai nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
Just at this time.
A servant from Prince Chen's Mansion quickly came to Lin Bai and said, "Master Langhou, I have finally found you. His Highness, Prince Chen, please come over as soon as possible."
What to say, what to come for?
We just mentioned Prince Chen’s Mansion, but now the servants from Prince Chen’s Mansion have already come to deliver the news?
"I'll go over immediately." Lin Bai replied.
Chao Yushi's eyes were gloomy and he said slowly: "His Royal Highness, Prince Chen, please come over. I think things in Purgatory have become clear again."
Lin Bai said: "If I get any news, after I come out of Prince Chen's Mansion, I will immediately go to Prince Hong's Mansion and let the Princess and Mr. Chao know."
Chao Yushi nodded repeatedly, "Then we will wait for Lord Langhou to arrive at the palace."
Finished.
Lin Bai then said to Chen Yule, Meng Qinxian and others: "Something happened suddenly today. I'm afraid I won't be able to drink until another day."
Chen Yule shrugged nonchalantly, "We are here to save you, not just here to drink."
Yi Heze said: "Since Brother Lin has something to do, let's go and do it. It's the same for the rest of us to go have a drink."
Lin Bai smiled and said: "Okay, I will hold a banquet to apologize some other day."
After finishing speaking, Lin Bai went straight to the direction of Prince Chen's Mansion.
Prince Chen's Mansion.
Lin Bai, led by Zhou Wang, the chief steward of Prince Chen's Mansion, came to His Highness Prince Chen's study.
In the study.
A photo bead was suspended in the air. His Highness Prince Chen was sitting on a chair, looking at the scenes emerging from the bead with a gloomy expression.
The sound also echoed in the study room.
"Your Highness, Lord Wolf is here."
"Brother Lin, please come in."
Standing at the door, Lin Bai could hear the indifference in His Highness Prince Chen's tone.
After pushing the door open and entering, Lin Bai immediately saw the photo bead, and the scene that emerged inside was like a hell on earth.
It was a man who was tied to a stone pillar and beaten until his skin was torn and his blood was dripping.
The wailing sound came from the shadow bead, which made people's hair stand on end.
Taking a closer look, the figure inside the shadow bead was clearly Xia Jingzhi.
"Your Highness." After Lin Bai entered, he first glanced at the photo beads, then raised his hands and bowed to Prince Chen.
"Brother Lin, come and take a look." His Highness Prince Chen raised his hand and reset the photo bead, allowing the image inside to emerge from the beginning. "This is Xia Jingzhi's confession."
"I really didn't expect...this bastard colluded with the third prince and actually did so many evil things."
Lin Bai looked at the picture on the photo bead and listened to the interrogation of Xia Jingzhi by the warriors of the Zhaoxing Division. At the same time, he also asked: "Did Xia Jingzhi confess his relationship with His Highness the Third Prince?"
His Highness King Chen said: "Yes, everything has been recruited."
Lin Bai laughed, "Zhao Xingsi's methods are quite fast."
Lin Bai patiently read the photo beads, and the gloom on his face became more and more intense. At the same time, his heart became colder and colder, and cold sweat even ran down his face.
Xia Jingzhi's confession made Lin Bai feel terrified and uneasy.
No wonder Lin Bai walked in and found His Royal Highness Chen so embarrassed. Anyone who looked at this photo would feel frightened.
Xia Jingzhi's confession began a thousand years ago.
And the first thing he confessed was enough to cause turmoil in the entire demon world.
The first thing Xia Jingzhi confessed to was that he conspired with the Southern Border Worm Valley, and was assigned by the ancestor of the Southern Border Worm Valley to pretend to betray the sect, escape from the Southern Territory, and sneak into the Chu Kingdom in the Eastern Territory to act as a secret agent.
