His Highness King Chen was sitting on the main seat. He felt a splitting headache and shook his head repeatedly.
Lin Bai sat aside in silence, seemingly not planning to say anything more.
On the contrary, the lifeless third prince had a particularly clear mind. When many counselors were noisy in the study, he said gloomily:
"After all, the main reason is that the kidnapped saints and saints have become the trump cards in the hands of the warriors in the Northern Territory."
"But don't forget, the Son and the Saint are just the Son and the Saint."
"They have not yet become the leaders of the major sects and families, they are just the sons of the saints."
When the third prince spoke, the entire study quickly fell silent.
The quarreling counselors raised their heads one after another and looked at the third prince silently.
The third prince continued: "Although the Holy Son and the sect are closely connected, the Holy Son can represent the sect, but the sect does not necessarily need a holy son!"
"That's the difference."
The third prince's words were very obscure and difficult to understand.
He continued to explain: "Every sect and family, in addition to the holy sons they cultivate on the surface, also secretly cultivates some unconventional geniuses."
"Once something goes wrong with the apparent Holy Son, or dies mysteriously, these unworldly geniuses will appear and become the Holy Son."
"Take Tianshui Sect as an example."
When the Tianshui Sect was mentioned, many civil servants and generals in the study glanced at Lin Bai.
The third prince said in a low voice: "No offense to Mr. Langhou, but this is the fact."
"Once something happens to Lord Lang, or he dies mysteriously, the Tianshui Sect will immediately support Bai Yifei to become the Holy Son to ensure the stability of the Tianshui Sect."
Although the third prince specifically emphasized that he did not mean to offend Lin Bai, Lin Bai still heard the third prince's threat and dissatisfaction from this sentence.
He seemed to still be worried about Mr. Huo's matter.
His Highness King Chen obviously heard it, so he said gloomily: "Brother Three Emperors, let's discuss the matter and don't blame others."
"Then let me use another person as an example." The third prince took a deep breath and said without much argument: "You all know about the Li family, one of the five and seven sects of Chu State, right?"
Everyone nodded slightly.
The five major families among the five families and seven sects of the Chu State are also called the five major families of the imperial capital.
The Li family is one of them.
How can everyone present not understand the truth?
The third prince said: "According to the news I received, Li Mo, the holy son of the Li family, has been asked to go into seclusion by the family, and a disciple of the Li family named Li Xian suddenly appeared. During Li Mo's seclusion, he
Will take over the position of the Holy Son of the Li family."
"That is to say...Li Mo didn't want to retreat at all, but the Li family found a reason to abolish Li Mo and promote Li Xian."
"You should be able to see the Holy Son Li Xian at the Star Reaching Platform banquet later."
Lin Bai suddenly felt shocked.
After the news came out that Li Mo, the sage son of the Li family, was in seclusion, it did not cause much shock in the imperial capital.
After all, at that time, after Lin Bai announced his retreat, the saint sons of the five families and seven sects of the Chu Kingdom almost simultaneously chose to retreat and break through.
Li Mo went into seclusion and did not cause too much trouble.
As for Li Xian succeeding Li Mo as the Holy Son, the explanation given by the Li family is... Li Mo went into seclusion, and Li Xian temporarily took over as the Holy Son.
Only temporarily.
At that time, Lin Bai did not think in the direction of abolishing the Holy Son.
After hearing the third prince's instructions, Lin Bai suddenly realized that it seemed that the Li family had already thought of abolishing Li Mo.
But having said that, Lin Bai also felt that...the holy son of the Li family, Li Mo, and the holy son of the Zhao family, Zhao Xiantu, were not very good.
No matter in terms of strength or character, there is no way to have the responsibilities of the Holy Son.
If Lin Bai was the head of the Li family and the Zhao family, he might have already thought of abolishing the Holy Son.
I don’t know how the two of them became the Holy Son.
"Back to business."
The third prince brought the topic back to the main topic and whispered: "Any sect and family will attach great importance to the Holy Son, but if it has reached the point of no return, then the sect will put interests first."
Lin Bai understood what the third prince said and what he meant.
In other words...if those sects feel that there is no hope of saving the Holy Son, they will give priority to the interests of the sect.
certainly.
The premise of all this is to make them think that there is no hope of saving the Holy Son.
"This matter is also very simple to deal with."
The third prince then proposed a countermeasure. He silently turned to look at Lin Bai, without any hatred or complaint in his eyes.
Instead, it was filled with a strange dead silence.
If Lin Bai hadn't traveled far and wide and seen a lot, he might have been shocked by the deathly look in the third prince's eyes.
The third prince stared at Lin Bai and said: "It's just that the saint son of the top sect has been kidnapped, not the saint son of the most prosperous sect."
"In their territory, it is not the top sect that has the final say, but the most prosperous sect."
He slowly said: "If Mr. Langhou can come forward and negotiate with Wang Zhengyang, the Saint Son of the Wansheng Mountain Territory, and Qi Lingyu, the Saint Son of the Qitian Sect, so that Wansheng Mountain and Qitian Sect can put pressure on the top sects in the territory, maybe things will be simple.
many."
Everyone looked at Lin Bai again.
From the moment he entered the study to see the gift, Lin Bai didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.
At this moment, he slowly said: "The Holy Sons of the All Saints Mountain Territory and the Qitian Sect Territory have expressed their stance before. They will firmly maintain their alliance with the Chu Kingdom and the Seven Nights Divine Sect Territory."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows about this matter."
Upon hearing this, His Highness King Chen nodded slowly and said, "Brother Lin did say this, and I have already reported it to my father."
"Today is different from the past." The third prince shook his head and said: "After the top sect leaders from the All Saints Mountain territory and the Qitian Sect territory arrived in the imperial capital, they have already gone to visit the leaders of the prosperous sects."
"What they discussed in detail behind closed doors, none of us know."
"Maybe someone will defect in the face of battle."
The third prince said to Lin Bai: "When the banquet is held at the Star Reaching Platform later, I would like to ask Mr. Lang to go early and find an opportunity to meet with Holy Son Wang Zhengyang and Holy Son Qi Lingyu to confirm their attitude."
Lin Bai frowned and asked, "Shouldn't the royal family of Chu State have to come forward in this matter? What's the use of my coming forward?"
The third prince said: "The royal family will naturally come forward."
"It's just that the people the royal family came to interview were the leaders of the All Saints Mountain territory and the Qitian Sect territory."
"And Mr. Langhou came forward to meet with the saint sons of the two major sects."
"This is different."
“A two-pronged approach can help you be prepared for any disaster.”
Lin Bai still did not agree directly, but asked the third prince: "Does the third prince mean to take the lead in the battle?"
"Why do you need to ask more questions, Lord Wolf?" A sneer appeared on the tired face of the third prince, "Judging from the current situation, Lord Wolf thinks there is still a possibility of suing for peace?"
"Furthermore, although Lord Wolf has not expressed his position, the attitude in Lord Wolf's heart...should be that of the main fighter, right?"
Everyone looked at Lin Bai, but he lowered his eyes and remained silent.
