"Master Wolf, please come in and talk!"
The moon dance girl seemed to have removed a layer of disguise, and her expression slowly changed to a sad one.
With a slightly sad voice, she invited Lin Bai into the Fengxue Palace.
Lin Bai agreed without hesitation, and in Fengxue Palace, Miss Yuewu hosted a banquet for Lin Bai.
"You guys go back first, I have another matter to discuss with Lord Wolf." Miss Yuewu asked the maid beside her to step down temporarily.
After all the maids had left, Miss Yuewu said, "Would Lord Wolf let me see that painting?"
Lin Bai nodded, took out the scroll and handed it to Miss Yuewu, asking her to hold it for herself to watch.
She looked at it very carefully, and finally confirmed that it was indeed at the level of the twenty-first prince.
Just like the judgment of Lin Bai and Crow... Although this painting is very rough and clumsy, with only a few simple strokes to outline the outline of the snow-capped mountains, most of the scroll is left blank, but it is full of artistic conception.
If it weren't for a famous painter, it would be impossible to complete such a simple yet profound painting.
"Where did Lord Wolf get this painting?" Miss Yuewu asked Lin Bai after distinguishing it clearly.
"I got it from the palace of the twenty-first prince." Lin Bai replied truthfully.
"Impossible." Yue Wu girl shook her head, "The twenty-first prince will never give away his picture scroll at will."
The crow pouted and said, "Of course it can't be given to us for no reason. My uncle ran in and snatched it directly!"
The girl Yuewu showed astonishment on her eyebrows, and she looked at the crow on Lin Bai's shoulders in shock.
Lin Bai pressed the crow's mouth in a hurry, and said to Miss Yuewu, "Miss Yuewu should be very clear that I am currently loyal to His Royal Highness Chen Wang."
"Emperor Chu's birthday is approaching, and His Royal Highness Chen Wang is responsible for the security issues in the imperial capital."
"The disappearance of the twenty-first prince is suspected to be related to the remnants of the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
"That's why I caused unnecessary trouble. His Royal Highness Chen Wang asked me to investigate secretly and rescue the twenty-first prince."
"I just sent people to sneak into the palace of the twenty-first prince and secretly collect relevant clues."
Lin Bai moved out the name of His Royal Highness Chen Wang and carefully fabricated a story.
The crow was unhappy when he heard that, and stared at Lin Bai, "I am not on your orders, you have no right to order me."
"Lin Bai, we agreed on 28 points!"
Lin Bai patted the crow lightly, signaling him not to talk nonsense.
After listening to Lin Bai's words, Yuewu girl nodded slightly to express her approval.
Lord Wolf has a good relationship with His Highness Chen Wang, which is well known in the imperial capital.
The disappearance of the twenty-one princes must be a major event in the imperial capital, although it was suppressed by the Zhao Xingsi, it was not made public.
But the royal family of Chu State and Zhao Xingsi must be very anxious. At this time, His Royal Highness Chen Wang secretly ordered Lin Bai to investigate, which is also reasonable.
Miss Yuewu took a deep breath, "I do have a deep friendship with Prince Twenty-One."
"If Lord Wolf wants to know anything, just ask. As long as the little girl knows something, she will definitely not hide it."
Deep friendship? How deep? ...Suddenly, a bad taste emerged in Lin Bai's heart.
Lin Bai's mind was full of thoughts, "What is the relationship between the twenty-first prince and the girl?"
Miss Yuewu raised her beautiful eyes, "Didn't Lord Wolf already guess everything?"
Lin Bai smiled and said: "It's not that I'm being rude, but there are some things... It's useless to guess, you still have to listen to believe it."
The moon dance girl took a deep breath, her eyes were full of reminiscence, "Prince 21 and I met at the royal family's 'Moon Festival' eight years ago."
"I'm an unknown oiran in Mingyuefang, but because of my outstanding dancing, I was invited to perform a dance at the Moon Festival."
The moon sacrifice meeting refers to the ceremony where the royal family of Chu State sacrificed to the bright moon.
The top floor of the moon was built by the royal family of Chu State specially for the "Moon Sacrifice Meeting".
In the state of Chu, there are many sacrificial activities like the "Moon Sacrifice Meeting".
As long as you want to participate, there will be different sacrificial ceremonies and temple fairs in the imperial capital every day.
The girl Yue Wu continued: "I met the twenty-first prince at the moon festival, and the twenty-first prince took the initiative to draw a portrait of me and gave it to me."
"That's why I have a deep affection for the twenty-first prince."
"However, I am an oiran of the Moon Palace, and he is the favorite prince in front of Emperor Chu."
"It's impossible for us."
The girl Yuewu sighed softly, "God is sorry to see that after the moon festival, the twenty-one princes will come to the Moon Palace to listen to music every day."
"Come here specifically to find me."
"The twenty-first prince often listens to music and watches dances with me, and also attracts the attention of many warriors in the imperial capital."
"Slowly, I walked from an unknown oiran to the Moon Palace step by step."
"Some time ago, Miss Yunke from Fengxue Palace left Moon Palace, and I was also invited by Moon Palace to become the new owner of Fengxue Palace."
Hearing Miss Yuewu finished speaking carefully, Lin Bai nodded slightly. It seems that she and the twenty-first prince are not as simple as they appear on the surface.
But Lin Bai didn't come here today to listen to the love story, so he changed the subject, "Did the twenty-first prince give you any gift?"
Lin Bai's main goal here is to determine whether the treasure key is still in Fengxue Palace.
Miss Yue Wu smiled wryly, "Prince Twenty-one treats money like dung, and he spends extremely generously."
"Every time I come to the Moon Palace, I will be given many gifts, either magical weapons, rare treasures, or panacea..."
"The twenty-first prince gave me too many presents, and I don't know what Lord Wolf is looking for?"
Sure enough, the twenty-first prince is that kind of lofty literati... Lin Bai smiled wryly.
But Lin Bai couldn't directly ask Miss Yuewu if she knew the clue to the treasure key.
"A sword!"
"Did the useless prince give you a sword?"
Before Lin Bai could figure out how to ask, Crow couldn't wait to ask Miss Yuewu.
Lin Bai wanted to cry but had no tears. He wanted not to expose the treasure key, but he didn't expect the crow to say it directly.
"A sword? What kind of sword?" Miss Yuewu was obviously interested and hurriedly asked.
To prevent the crow from continuing to make trouble, Lin Bai replied: "Miss Moon Dance just answer our questions."
"Is there a sword?"
Lin Bai stared at Miss Yuewu and asked.
Miss Yuewu's eyes sank, she didn't rush to answer, but thought about it seriously.
She asked back: "How sure is Lord Wolf that he can rescue the twenty-first prince?"
I'll go, the woman came to her senses... Lin Bai felt a little annoyed.
Miss Yuewu realized that Lin Bai seemed to value the sword very much, so she didn't answer Lin Bai's question clearly.
Instead, he asked Lin Bai how confident he was in rescuing the twenty-first prince.
The implication of this sentence is... If Lord Wolf can rescue the twenty-first prince, I will give you this sword. On the other hand, if you cannot save him, then I will naturally not give it to you.
Lin Bai sneered from the bottom of his heart, still did not answer Miss Yuewu's question directly, but asked with a smile: "If Miss Yuewu doesn't give me this sword, I'm not sure I can save the twenty-first prince."
Beautiful, lethal with one move... Lin Bai said to Miss Yuewu with a smile.
The psychological game between the two old foxes made the crow confused.
The implication of Miss Yuewu... You rescue the twenty-first prince, I will give you the sword.
Lin Bai's implication... If you don't give me the sword, I won't be able to save the twenty-first prince.
