In the bustling streets of the imperial capital, Lin Bai and the Tianshui Sect members walked forward, weaving through the sea of people.
No one noticed that a crow, as black as jade, landed silently on Lin Bai's shoulder from the sky.
"Lin Bai, you will never guess what I found in the Worm Valley Inn in Southern Xinjiang..." Crow's voice was very exciting and excited, obviously he found something good.
"We'll talk about it when we get back." Hearing Crow's tone, Lin Bai easily guessed that he had found something interesting.
But Lin Bai was still not sure whether the crow had found Xia Jingzhi, but this place was still in the market, there were many people, and it was not a place to talk.
Lin Bai told Wu Wu not to say anything, and at the same time he quickened his pace and returned to the Tianshui Sect's palace.
Tianshui Sect's palace, in Lin Bai's courtyard.
After returning, Lin Bai couldn't wait to ask: "What did you find in the Worm Valley Inn in Nanjiang?"
Crow gave it a try and said, "Guess."
Lin Bai rolled his eyes speechlessly, "What time of the day is it now? I'm not interested in playing riddles with you."
"It's boring." Crow curled his lips, a little dissatisfied, "You are such a piece of wood, I don't know what Bai Xiaoxiao sees in you? He is so devoted to you."
"Forget it, forget it, I won't amuse you anymore."
Crow became serious and said, "Xia Jingzhi is at the Nanjiang Worm Valley Guild Hall."
Crow told Lin Bai simply and clearly that Xia Jingzhi was hiding in the guild hall in the Worm Valley in southern Xinjiang.
When Lin Bai heard this, his expression was extremely complicated for a moment. He didn't know whether he should be happy? Or worried?
Happily...he had been looking for Xia Jingzhi for more than half a year and finally found his hiding place.
The worrying thing is...Xia Jingzhi is actually hiding in the guesthouse in the Worm Valley in southern Xinjiang, which makes the matter complicated.
Why is Xia Jingzhi hiding in the guild hall in the Worm Valley of Southern Xinjiang?
Does this mean that Xia Jingzhi and Nanjiang Worm Valley are still disconnected?
Does this mean that Xia Jingzhi's betrayal of Nanjiang Worm Valley was secretly instructed by Nanjiang Worm Valley, and its purpose was to send Xia Jingzhi to the Eastern Capital?
If things are as Lin Bai guessed, then things will become very, very complicated.
Because if Insect Valley in Southern Xinjiang instructs Xia Jingzhi to come to the imperial capital, it would be a blatant interference in Chu's internal affairs.
As one of the sixteen most powerful forces in the four major territories of the Demon Realm, the State of Chu has strict systems, one of which is that "any powerful force is prohibited from interfering in the internal affairs of Chu. Once found, it will be equivalent to a declaration of war."
If it is as Lin Bai guessed...Xia Jingzhi is the secret agent of the Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley placed in the imperial capital, this is undoubtedly a choice for Chu.
This might not be good... it will cause a war between the Chu State and the Insect Valley in southern Xinjiang, and it is more likely to sweep the world of demons.
"Huh..." Lin Bai had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but his face was gloomy and ugly.
Crow's expression was very strange, and he tilted his head and looked at Lin Bai, "Boy Lin Bai, now that you have found Xia Jingzhi, who you have worked so hard to find, why don't you seem unhappy?"
Lin Bai felt sad, "You shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't find Xia Jingzhi in the guild hall in the Worm Valley of Southern Xinjiang?"
The crow still didn't quite understand and asked, "What's the difference?"
"Xia Jingzhi is a traitor in the Worm Valley of Southern Xinjiang. No one would have thought that he would hide in the guild hall of the Worm Valley of Southern Xinjiang. It's such a beautiful trick in the dark."
"Even I couldn't believe it at first."
Lin Bai gave a bitter smile and stared at the crow, "Do you think... Xia Jingzhi is hiding in the Worm Valley Guild Hall in Southern Xinjiang, and is it possible for the strong men in the Worm Valley in Southern Xinji to discover his traces?"
"Uh..." Crow tilted his head, thought seriously for a long time, nodded and said: "Given the character of the demons in Nanjiang Worm Valley, they will definitely check carefully after entering the Nanjiang Worm Valley Guild Hall. They should be able to find the bottom of the lake.
of the secret passage.”
Hearing the crow say this further confirmed Lin Bai's suspicion.
Xia Jingzhi is the Anzi placed in the Eastern Territory by the Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley.
As for Xia Jingzhi's betrayal of the Insect Valley in southern Xinjiang thousands of years ago, it was a staged play, the purpose of which was to allow Xia Jingzhi to enter the Chu Imperial Capital and successfully become the confidant of a certain prince in the Imperial Capital.
If Xia Jingzhi does not leave the Worm Valley in Southern Xinjiang, even if the third prince asks for something, he will at best regard Xia Jingzhi as a tool for refining poison. He will have no way of knowing that he has become the third prince's confidant, nor will he know anything else.
.
After Xia Jingzhi "betrayed" the Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley, he was hunted down by the Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley and had no choice but to take refuge in the Imperial Capital of Chu.
However, the southern Xinjiang Insect Valley did not give up and sent strong men into the imperial capital to surround and kill Xia Jingzhi.
When Xia Jingzhi was on the verge of life and death, the third prince suddenly came to help, rescued Xia Jingzhi, and brought him into the Sun and Moon Pavilion for his use.
In this way, the third prince will think that Xia Jingzhi is desperate, and since he has saved his life, Xia Jingzhi will definitely repay him with all his strength.
The most important thing is... the third prince has an illusion. He thinks that Xia Jingzhi will be killed by the Worm Valley in Southern Xinjiang if he leaves him. In this way, Xia Jingzhi will easily gain the trust and respect of the third prince.
"Huh..." This was Lin Bai's second breath in just a short moment, but the pressure in his heart did not weaken at all, and his tense emotions did not decrease with his breathing.
"trouble!"
Lin Bai sat on the stool anxiously, his brows furrowed into the Chinese character "Chuan".
After thinking about it for another hour or two, the expression on Lin Bai's face gradually turned into indifference, and there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes.
He already had a decision in his mind.
"The matter between the Worm Valley in Southern Xinjiang and the Chu State has not been broken yet!"
"As long as we haven't broken the skin yet, there is still room for maneuver!"
"As for why Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley put so much effort into arranging for a secret agent to enter Chu State and enter the Eastern Region, that is something that Chu State and the other three major powers have to think about. This... has nothing to do with me!"
"The game between Worm Valley in Southern Xinjiang and Chu State has nothing to do with me!"
"Even if I want to control it, I can't control this kind of game between powerful forces!"
After Lin Bai thought about it, his tense heartstrings relaxed a little, "And what I should control... what I can control... is only one thing."
"That is to find a way to catch Xia Jingzhi before the Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley and the Chu State quarrel!"
"As long as we catch Xia Jingzhi and let him tell him about the arrangements for conferring the third prince, poisoning the first prince and the second prince with divine and demonic calamities, we can ensure that His Highness Prince Chen can successfully ascend the throne, and that I can enter the great world of Tianquan. As for what happens next
Regarding the matter...just leave this mess to Chu State and the other three powerful forces in the Eastern Region."
When Lin Bai thought of this, a helpless smile appeared on his face...Why did he feel that His Highness Prince Chen's ascension to the throne was not a wise choice?
When he ascended the throne and became emperor, didn't he just take over the mess left by the current Emperor of Chu?
The current state of Chu and the current Eastern Region are suffering from internal and external troubles, and a war is about to break out.
What a mess!
