C151 The treasure map is fake

With half closed eyes, Lin Chuyue sneered, "If there's anything, just say it, don't beat around the bush."

The black-robed man did not come forward. Instead, he stood in his original position and stared at Lin Chuyue through her robe with her cold eyes. "You want to know the meaning of my words? Come with me."

After saying that, the man turned around and walked back to the small alley. He wasn't worried at all that Lin Chuyue would turn around and leave!

Just as the black-robed man had thought, after thinking about it, Lin Chuyue followed the black-robed man's footsteps and arrived behind a small alley.

Gu Lang and the rest were already protecting Lin Chuyue from the shadows, but because of master's orders, they did not appear.

In the quiet alley, the black-robed man was leaning against the wall while Lin Chuyue quietly looked at the black-robed man. Only after a long while did she finally open her mouth and say, "If there's anything you want to say, just say it."

Although Lin Chuyue did not know how the black-robed man knew that the treasure map within the Imperial Palace of Hua was fake, it at least showed that this person must be related to the descendants of the five great generals, or at least related to Yan Kingdom.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to know whether the treasure map was real or fake.

It's not possible either. Based on Yuwen Jing's personality, he would definitely not tell anything that would benefit him.

Lin Chuyue didn't understand, and didn't know how to think about it. She discovered that the man in black in front of him was becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

"Your little tricks have always been known by this noble one. The fake treasure map in the Imperial Palace of Hua can only deceive Feng Yi."

The black gowned man raised her head, but Lin Chuyue was still unable to see her face clearly.

"How did you know that the treasure map in the Imperial Palace of Hua is fake?"

Lin Chuyue clearly knew that she would not get an answer, but it would be good if she could find some useful information in his words.

Only, the black gowned man didn't reply to Lin Chuyue at all.

"You have the three real treasure map, so I'm not in a hurry. When I find the other two treasures, I'll come find you, but …"

But just as she said that, a black figure leapt out and appeared in front of Lin Chuyue. The speed of the shadow was so fast that it shocked everyone, and Gu Lang and the others who were hidden could only vaguely see a blurry shadow.

Lin Chuyue, however, did not retreat even half a step as she felt the powerful Yin energy around him.

A faint smile surfaced on the corner of his mouth. As he looked at the man in black who had suddenly leaped forward, the smile on the corner of his mouth became increasingly dense. "You're injured?"

The faint smell of medicine reverberated around the man in black robes. Even though he wanted to cover up the smell of the medicinal herbs with other odors, he was unable to hide it from Lin Chuyue's nose.

Only, for some reason, Lin Chuyue had a very familiar feeling. She seemed to have seen this smell somewhere before, but she couldn't recall where it came from.

Just as Lin Chuyue finished speaking, another black figure appeared within the alleyway, worriedly kneeling behind the man in black.

"master, the guests have arrived."

"Right."

He slowly extended his hand and hooked Lin Chuyue's hair with her index finger, "This sovereign still has things to do, I'll come find you in a while. I'll leave those three treasure map under your care for now."

As the voice faded away, the black-robed man's figure also disappeared.

Gu Lang and the rest wanted to appear, but were stopped by Lin Chuyue.

A mocking smile appeared in his eyes as he looked in the direction that the man in black disappeared in.

Who said she only had three treasure map? She actually had four, and she even had a bunch of fake treasure maps. If you want all of them, you can have them.

Returning to the Lin's Medicine Hall from the main street, Lin Chuyue saw a horse carriage parked in front of the Lin's Medicine Hall.

At this moment, the eunuch at the side of the carriage walked forward slowly and blessed Lin Chuyue. "Miss Lin, His Majesty has an order for you to enter the palace."

The words of the little eunuch completely confused Lin Chuyue. Since it was Summer Sacrifice today, why did Feng Yi seek her out to enter the palace?

Although she could not understand, Lin Chuyue still sat in the carriage and went to the palace.

In the palace, the melody of gongs and drums could be heard from afar as Lin Chuyue followed the little eunuch to the Jade Flower Garden.

On the high platform, the performer was singing a melodious tune as he turned his hand in the air.

"This humble girl pays her respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor, long live and long live his Majesty."

Although she was unwilling to enter the palace, she still had to give him face. However, Lin Chuyue did not kneel down and only blessed herself.

Yun Yi was too lazy to bother about this with Lin Chuyue, so he merely nodded and signaled for Lin Chuyue to get up.

"I wonder what is the purpose of the emperor summoning this commoner to the palace?"

Yun Yi turned his gaze, and when his eyes looked at Lin Chuyue, his expression was extremely complicated.

"The reason I called you over this time is because of it."

With a wave of her hand, she pointed towards the high platform not far away. Lin Chuyue looked in the direction of Feng Yi's finger and her face sank.

Looking at the huge cage on the stage, there was a black leopard tied up inside. Beside the cage, there were over ten strong men standing there arrogantly.

If he was not mistaken, the man in the lead should be Huyan Zhi, Huyan Lie's little brother.

But, why would someone from the Hun appear during the Hua Kingdom's grand ceremony?

Turning around, Lin Chuyue looked at Feng Yan with a puzzled expression, while Feng Yan also shook his head, indicating that he did not know either why the ten odd Hun people were here.

"Your majesty, this humble girl doesn't understand."

Lin Chuyue turned around and her gaze moved back and forth between Feng Yi and the black panther on the stage. The reason Feng Yi came to find her was because of a black panther, but what did it have to do with her?

Did he want her to roast this black panther?

"This is a gift from Hun."

Feng Yi pointed to the cage on the stage. The black panther in the cage opened its pair of dark green eyes, as if it was sizing Lin Chuyue up.

But Feng Yi's words made Lin Chuyue even more confused. Was this a gift from Hun?

Please, ever since she was reborn, she had never come into contact with anyone from the Hun, okay?

At this time, sweat covered all over the stage as he walked to Lin Chuyue's side and greeted him with the etiquette of Hun.

"Respected Miss Lin, this is a gift from me, Tian Han, since my Hua Kingdom is at such a level."

The Hun pointed at the black panther on the stage and indicated for Lin Chuyue to come forward.

Looking at the black panther that was filled with the aura of a wild beast, Lin Chuyue could not understand what was going on.

"I'm sorry, there might be some misunderstanding. Is this really a gift for me?"

Lin Chuyue did not have much of an impression of Huyan Zhi. She only knew that Huyan Zhi and Huyan Lie were of the same father and mother, and that after Huyan Lie had inherited the position of Khan, she had rebelled.

"Respected and cute Miss Lin, that's what the khan meant."
