"Since you have returned to the imperial capital, let's stay for a while."
"The imperial capital is not very peaceful. His Highness Prince Chen is so worried that he can't sleep every day."
Lin Bai persuaded Di Wuyan to stay in the imperial capital temporarily.
He felt that the imperial capital was about to face a huge change, and it would be good to accumulate more strength at this moment.
Di Wuyan nodded and did not refuse. He had planned to stay in the imperial capital for a while longer this time.
Then he raised his head slightly and looked in one direction.
Lin Bai suddenly understood and said: "There seems to be a temple in that direction, the Daci'en Temple?"
Di Wuyan smiled and nodded.
"I see."
"If I have anything to ask you about, I will go to Da Ci'en Temple."
After chatting with Di Wuyan for a while, Lin Bai stood up and left, heading to Prince Chen's Mansion.
Di Wuyan returned to the imperial capital again. Although it seemed like a small matter, it also represented the official end of the battle for the prince's inheritance.
It's a pity that the territory of Chu State is now experiencing one wave of unrest after another.
Emperor Chu's birthday had just ended, but the top sect's saint son and ancestor who came to celebrate his birthday were kidnapped and disappeared.
~~~
Lin Bai was also a regular customer of Prince Chen's Mansion. When he came to the mansion, the guards at the door did not stop him and allowed him to enter the Prince's Mansion.
Butler Zhou Wang got the news and hurried out to greet him.
"Congratulations to Mr. Langhou for making a further step in your cultivation."
Housekeeper Zhou Wang saw Lin Bai approaching and immediately saw that his cultivation had improved, so he held his hands in congratulations with a smile.
"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here?"
After Lin Bai responded with a smile, he asked about the whereabouts of His Royal Highness.
"Please Lord Lang, come with me."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is meeting with the courtiers in the study, as well as the commanders of the Zhaoxing Division and the Forbidden Army."
Housekeeper Zhou Wang took Lin Bai to the study.
If it had been another warrior who came to visit, Zhou Wang would probably have made up any excuse to let him go back first, saying that His Highness Prince Chen had something to do.
Or they could arrange to have tea in the living room and wait until His Highness the Crown Prince remembers them and then be able to see them.
But Lin Bai was completely different.
For His Royal Highness Prince Chen to become the crown prince, Lin Bai definitely deserves the most credit.
Without Lin Bai, His Highness Prince Chen would never be the third prince's opponent.
Zhou Wang, the chief steward of Prince Chen's Mansion, also knew that Lin Bai's status in the heart of His Highness was extraordinary. Except for Lin Bai, no one else could easily see His Highness at this moment.
Come outside the study room.
The chief steward Zhou Wang asked Lin Bai to stay temporarily, and he walked into the study quietly to report to His Highness the Crown Prince.
Not long after.
The door to the entire study room was completely opened, and dozens of courtiers in official uniforms slowly walked out.
Most of these people were senior officials from the six departments of the imperial court. Normally, Lin Bai would not see them, but now they were all gathered in Prince Chen's Mansion.
"Master Wolf Lord."
"I've seen the Wolf Marquis."
Lin Bai greeted them with a smile.
He was not familiar with these courtiers, and Lin Bai was also involved in the government affairs of Chu State, so he did not have many opportunities to interact with them on weekdays.
But after all, Lin Bai was a one-word prince of the Chu Kingdom, especially in the Golden Palace just now, His Majesty the Emperor of Chu personally admitted that the title given to Lin Bai was a "one-word prince."
The titles of the Chu State are divided into three, six, and nine grades. A marquis is the highest title under the king, and its status is equivalent to the three princes in the court.
Although Lin Bai never held an important position in the dynasty, after all, his title was extremely high, and other courtiers must also be honored.
After chatting with Lin Bai for a few words, the courtiers left, citing their busy official duties as an excuse.
Among the two people who came to the end, one was Zhu Mo, the commander of the Zhaoxing Division, and the other was the commander of the Forbidden Army.
After Zhu Mo's introduction, Lin Bai learned that the commander of the Forbidden Army was named "Zhou Fang", and he was actually the grandson of the great steward Zhou Wang.
"Master Zhu Mo seems to be frowning. Are you worried about something?"
Lin Bai could tell that Zhu Mo seemed to be living an uneasy life during this period, his face was haggard and pale, and he was mentally exhausted and depressed.
"Don't you know, Mr. Wolf Marquis?"
"Isn't that what happened?"
"Why."
Zhu Mo sighed repeatedly when he mentioned this matter: "I really didn't expect that Jiuyou Demon Palace could actually plant so many secret agents in Zhaoxing Division, and even two or three commanders were from Jiuyou Demon Palace."
"It's amazing."
When he said these words, thoughts immediately came to Lin Bai's mind.
He immediately thought... that the Nine Nether Demon Palace could send the kidnapped Holy Son out of the Eastern Region so easily, it must have avoided the eyes and ears of the Zhaoxing Division.
But how did they avoid it?
Although Zhao Xingsi's ears and eyes are not very useful in the world of Demon Realm, he is very knowledgeable in the Eastern Region of Demon Realm. Especially in the territory of Chu State, any troubles and disturbances cannot escape Zhao Xingsi's eyes.
It is an extremely difficult task to send the Holy Son and the Ancestor out of the Eastern Region without anyone noticing under such strict surveillance.
Lin Bai immediately realized that there seemed to be a mole in the Zhaoxing Division.
He had never thought about this before, because even Lin Bai thought that with the strictness of the Zhaoxing Division in selecting warriors, it would be difficult to sneak into the inner ghosts, but he did not expect that Jiuyou Demon Palace could do it.
"Even the commander is from the Nine Nether Demon Palace?"
After hearing this statement, Lin Bai finally understood how Jiuyou Demon Palace sent people out.
With several Zhaoxing Division commanders coordinating behind the scenes, it was natural for Jiuyou Demon Palace to get things done with ease.
"Yes, those commanders are still my friends for many years. I really didn't expect them to..."
"Why."
Zhu Mo started to speak but stopped, looking sad.
Lin Bai said calmly: "The Nine Nether Demon Palace has spent a hundred thousand years planning a comeback. The infiltration plan they formulated has already entered into the high-level forces in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm. It is reasonable that there is a mole in the Zhaoxing Division."
"I'm afraid the Forbidden Army also has them."
Lin Bai looked at Zhou Fang, the commander of the Forbidden Army next to him.
Zhou Fang's face was also ugly.
The duty of the Forbidden Army is to protect the Imperial Capital and the Imperial City. In other words, the lives of the entire Imperial Capital warriors and the safety of the palace are in the hands of the Forbidden Army.
If there are also ghosts from the Jiuyou Demon Palace in the Forbidden Army, wouldn't it mean that the Jiuyou Demon Palace has pointed its sword at Emperor Chu's throat, and Emperor Chu doesn't know it yet?
Zhou Fang said in a deep voice: "We have already started to carefully screen."
Lin Bai asked: "What should we do if we are caught?"
"Kill him directly?"
"Of course not." Zhu Mo shook his head and said: "The captured ghosts have all been sent to purgatory. They are more useful alive than dead. Now is a good way to use them to find out the news about the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
"
"The Nine Nether Demon Palace knows a lot about us, but we know too little about the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
"Now we should also pay attention to the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
"They have already formed quite a force."
Lin Bai nodded slightly, and after chatting for a few words with Zhu Mo and Zhou Fang, the two of them went about their business.
Lin Bai finally walked into the study and met His Royal Highness King Chen... and the third prince.
