Pan Qing didn't understand why, so he asked, "Why did the Holy Son make such a statement?"
Lin Bai pondered: "When I came back again, His Highness Chen Wang mentioned Chu Tinghan and Chu Tingxue intentionally or unintentionally. His Highness Chen Wang obviously did not do it unintentionally."
Pan Qing frowned slightly and said, "Chu Tinghan, Chu Tingxue...Daughter of King Liang, the current county master?"
Lin Bai said: "This autumn hunting, there is a high probability that King Liang will bring Chu Tinghan and Chu Tingxue to participate."
Pan Qing immediately understood what Lin Bai and His Royal Highness Chen Wang meant.
King Liang is the most powerful military king in the current state of Chu.
He was originally one of the most favorable contenders for the throne. If King Liang brought Chu Tinghan and Chu Tingxue to participate this time, he must have intentionally chosen a good husband for Chu Tinghan and Chu Tingxue.
Lin Bai is the strongest son among the seven contemporary sons of the five sects of Chu State, and he will undoubtedly become the consideration target of His Royal Highness Prince Liang.
If Lin Baizhen finally fell into the eyes of King Liang, and King Liang asked Emperor Chu to marry him, Emperor Chu would probably have to agree.
But at the moment, Tianshui Sect and Lin Bai are both subordinate to His Royal Highness Chen Wang, and they have paid so much to earn His Highness Chen's trust.
If King Liang is stabbed, even if Lin Bai rejects King Liang in the end, His Royal Highness Chen will inevitably plant a seed of doubt in his heart, and the trust finally established in front of His Royal Highness Chen will collapse in an instant.
When His Royal Highness Chen Wang left the imperial city, he specially mentioned Chu Tinghan and Chu Tingxue in front of Lin Bai, just to remind Lin Bai that Lin Bai could better understand the current situation.
Lin Bai understood the implication of His Royal Highness Chen Wang, and at the same time Lin Bai didn't want to participate in the royal family autumn hunting in his heart.
Pan Qing frowned and asked, "That is to say... His Royal Highness Chen Wang deliberately mentioned Chu Tinghan and Chu Tingxue in front of you, and told you about the severe situation between the royal family and the military king. I hope you will think about it? "
Lin Bai said: "And I don't really want to participate in the autumn hunting held by the royal family."
Pan Qing nodded and said, "I will send a letter to the sect first about this matter, and ask the sect master and several other ancestors to discuss it and decide."
"After all, this is no trivial matter."
Lin Bai nodded and agreed, and Pan Qing went to deliver the letter.
About three days later, Pan Qing called Lin Bai, Qiao Mo, Qin Yao and others here.
Pan Qing said: "The sect has already responded, saying that it is up to you to decide. If you don't want to participate in the royal family's autumn hunting, you must also think of a foolproof strategy, so as not to offend the royal family."
Thinking of a safe bet?
This made Lin Bai in trouble.
Think of a way? Not only does not offend the royal family, but also allows Lin Bai to retreat from the province?
Qiao Mo suddenly blushed and said coquettishly, "Old Ancestor, when I was in Tianshui Sect with Lin Bai, I had a marriage contract... I wonder if this can be used as a refusal?"
Pan Qing's eyes lit up, looked at Qiao Mo, nodded and said, "This is indeed a good method."
"I immediately went to the palace to meet Emperor Chu and explain the reason."
After speaking, Pan Qing wanted to turn around and leave.
But after walking a few steps, he asked again, "Are you two real..." When Qiao Mo heard the words, his face blushed, and he hurriedly explained, "When I made a marriage contract with Senior Brother Lin Bai that day, it was because Senior Brother Lin Bai wants to take back the Baisheng Building for me, but in fact there is no other... what... feelings between us.
! "
When Qiao Mo said the last few words, his face was slightly down.
a while.
Qiao Mo recovered his expression and said, "Furthermore, Senior Brother Lin Bai also said... He is already married, but he is only temporarily separated from his wife."
Pan Qing nodded slightly, looked at Qiao Mo's expression, and noticed that Qin Yao was also depressed, and immediately understood what was going on.
"It turns out that Luo Hua intends to follow the flowing water, but Liu Shui has no intention of loving Luo Hua."
"Hey."
Pan Qing turned and left, walked a few steps, and disappeared into the courtyard.
Lin Bai bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister Qiao Mo."
Qiao Mo chuckled: "Senior Brother Lin Bai doesn't need to say thank you, I'm just waiting for the sake of the sect."
The names of the two were very strange. Lin Bai called Qiao Mo and Qin Yao both senior sisters, while Qin Yao and Qiao Mo sometimes called Lin Bai the holy son, and sometimes called Lin Bai senior brother.
This is mainly because when Lin Bai entered the sect, his cultivation strength was not high. According to the rules, he should be the junior brother of Qiao Mo and Qin Yao.
But now, Lin Baixiu had surpassed Qiao Mo and Qin Yao in strength, and he was also the Holy Son of Tianshui Sect, so they should call Lin Bai Senior Brother or Holy Son according to the rules.
But the rules are the rules. Qiao Mo and Qin Yao helped Lin Bai a lot when Lin Bai entered the Tianshui Sect. Even if his cultivation level surpassed them, Lin Bai still couldn't open his mouth to call them junior sister.
So, we can only call each of them.
Lin Bai called them senior sisters, and they called Lin Bai senior brothers or holy sons.
On a different basis.
After Pan Qing left the Tianshui Sect Palace, he came to the palace without stopping and saw Emperor Chu in the golden hall.
The two were old friends for many years, and they met again for a while.
Emperor Chu smiled and said: "Pan Qing, let's be honest, you have never liked to come to my Golden Palace, and you are the master of the Three Treasures Palace. "
Pan Qing smiled and said, "Emperor Chu is Emperor Chu. He is wise and martial, and his eyes are like torches."
Emperor Chu gave a wry smile: "When did you learn to stalk the horse? If you had learned it ten thousand years ago, you would have already achieved great success."
"Haha." Pan Qing smiled slightly and said, "After all, thousands of years have passed, enough to change a person."
Emperor Chu nodded, without making jokes with Pan Qing, and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Pan Qing cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, is the royal family autumn hunting going to be held soon?"
Emperor Chu pondered: "That's right, I have already handed over this matter to His Royal Highness Chen Wang to prepare, and it will probably start in one or two months."
Pan Qing sighed: "The royal family's autumn hunting was originally a stage for the young talents in the Chu kingdom to show their talents..."
Emperor Chu pursed his lips and said, "There is no need to detour, you and I both understand that the autumn hunting of the royal family over the years is all about choosing the wishful prince for the princess and the county master."
Pan Qing said, "I'm here for this."
Emperor Chu seemed to have guessed Pan Qing's intention, so he frowned and asked, "What? Your Tianshui Sect doesn't want to participate in the autumn hunt?"
"This emperor remembers that Tianshui sect has not participated in the autumn hunting for ten thousand years since its fall. Now your Tianshui sect is finally showing signs of making a comeback. Do you want to give up this opportunity?"
Pan Qing smiled bitterly and said, "No no no, Tianshui Sect is naturally willing to participate in this royal autumn hunt, but there is one person who does not want to participate." Emperor Chu frowned slightly, already guessing who it was, and said, "Why doesn't Lin Bai want to participate? "
