The palace, the golden palace.
That beam of divine light illuminated the Dragon Chair resplendent and solemn.
Emperor Chu sat on the dragon chair as usual, looking at the darkness in the golden hall and the people in the hall.
"Father, these are the original words of Lord Wolf Lin Bai." His Royal Highness Chen Wang came down to the Golden Palace and truthfully relayed the words of Lord Wolf Lord to His Majesty the Emperor Chu.
"Hehe, Lord Wolf, it's interesting..." Emperor Chu smiled, "He is indeed a smart man."
"Pity……"
"The smarter the person, the harder it is to deal with!"
"Hey."
Emperor Chu first praised Lin Bai for being smart, then shook his head and sighed softly, saying that the smarter the person, the harder it is to deal with.
Emperor Chu said faintly: "If Lin Bai gets this sword, he will keep it secret and secretly search for the treasure of Jiuyou Demon Palace with Tianshuizong."
"When they find the treasure, it will be the time when Tianshui Sect will be destroyed."
"Chu State can not only destroy Tianshui Sect, but also obtain the treasure of Jiuyou Demon Palace without any effort."
"This is killing two birds with one stone, but I didn't expect that... Lin Bai would come here to discuss cooperation with Chu State on his own initiative!"
"Hey."
Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Chu sighed and smiled wryly, "Now that Lin Bai has come to discuss cooperation, there is no legitimate reason for Chu, and Tianshuizong cannot be moved."
"Lin Bai, he's just too old and cunning. He knows that the Tianshui Sect can't eat this treasure. If he doesn't find someone to cooperate and pull people into the water, this treasure won't be excavated."
Emperor Chu sat on the dragon chair and kept talking to himself.
His Royal Highness Chen Wang who was standing in the Golden Palace was terrified and broke out in cold sweat.
According to Emperor Chu's original plan...if the Tianshui sect kept secret and went to find the treasure by himself, the royal family of Chu would be sent to follow behind.
Let's use a trick, the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind.
The day Tianshuizong finds the treasure will be the day when Tianshuizong will be destroyed.
Chu State can not only destroy Tianshuizong's confidant, but also get the treasure of Jiuyou Demon Palace.
This is killing two birds with one stone.
But it happened to be Lin Bai, who was old and cunning, and did not hide his secrets, but took the initiative to seek cooperation from the royal family.
In this way, there is no chance for the royal family to "make a name for themselves".
No matter how poor the Tianshui Sect was, it was still one of the five schools and seven schools in the Chu State, and its disciples and old officials were all over the territory of the Chu State. If Tianshui Sect was wiped out rashly, it would definitely cause a lot of chaos in Chu.
Therefore, in order to destroy Tianshuizong, there must be a legitimate reason.
Not only the Tianshui Sect, but if the Chu State wanted to destroy any of the five schools and seven schools of the Chu State, it needed such a "justifiable" reason.
Of course, this refers to the peaceful age.
If it is in the era of chaos, then there is no need to think too much.
His Royal Highness Chen Wang took a deep breath and asked, "Father, how should we answer Wolf Hou Lin Bai?"
Emperor Chu didn't rush to answer His Highness Chen Wang's words, but asked, "Did you ask Lord Lang, what will he do if I don't agree?"
"I asked." His Royal Highness Chen Wang said.
"Then what did he say?" Emperor Chu was very curious, what would Lin Bai do if he didn't agree to it?
His Royal Highness Chen Wang smiled wryly: "Ling Bai, the Marquis of the Wolf, didn't say anything clearly, but only said one thing... His Majesty will definitely agree."
He is so sure? ...Emperor Chu smiled.
His Royal Highness Chen Wang said: "The Marquis Lang said...the royal family doesn't value the treasures of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, they just don't want him to fall into the hands of the five families and seven sects of the Chu State, and breed a power that can carve up the world with the Chu State."
"His distribution like this, the Tianshui sect only accounts for 20%, and it will not pose any threat to the royal family."
"Even if he gave Tianshuizong 40% of his share, Tianshuizong would only have 60% of it, and the threat to the royal family is still not great."
"So he said... His Majesty will definitely agree."
His Royal Highness King Chen told Emperor Chu about Lin Bai's words.
After hearing this, Emperor Chu chuckled again, "Master Wolf, it's more difficult to deal with than we imagined."
"I will personally summon Lin Bai over this matter."
"Prince Chen, your focus now is on preparing for your birthday and the safety of your twenty-first brother."
His Royal Highness Chen Wang nodded again and again, "I have searched all over the city with all my strength, and rescued the 21st brother as soon as possible."
Emperor Chu nodded, "Okay, you go down first, pass an order to Lin Bai, let him enter the palace to meet me."
"Yes."
After His Royal Highness Chen took the order, he left the Golden Palace.
In the Golden Palace, only Emperor Chu was left sitting on the dark and cold dragon chair.
He laughed uncontrollably, "Master Wolf, it seems that he is more cunning and cunning than we imagined."
"What do you guys think?"
In the darkness, the voices of many people sounded immediately.
"That sword originally belonged to our royal family, what right does Tianshuizong have to negotiate terms with us?"
"We should order Lin Bai to hand over that sword, otherwise we will send troops to destroy Tianshuizong!"
"..."
"Lin Bai is famous now. He is the holy son of Tianshuizong and the wolf prince of Chu. If he sends troops to kill Tianshuizong at will, it will only cause turmoil in Chu."
"..."
"Hey, Prince Hong, are you favoring your son-in-law!"
"..."
"Nonsense, my king has always attached great importance to the state of Chu. It is indeed unwise to be an enemy of Lin Bai and Tianshuizong at this moment."
"..."
"You are obviously partial to Lin Bai and your son-in-law."
In the dark, everyone was arguing.
And at this moment, it was finally confirmed...the person who discussed the matter with Emperor Chu in the dark before was the prince of the Prince Hong's Mansion that was destroyed five thousand years ago, that is, the father of Miss Shen Xian.
Prince Hong!
"Hey, stop arguing." Emperor Chu was battered by the quarrel, "The situation is not that bad."
"The royal family of Chu State suppressed Tianshuizong for 100,000 years, and Tianshuizong has already reached the brink of destruction."
"If the Tianshui Sect is really destroyed, it will cause a lot of chaos for Chu."
"So it's time for Tianshuizong to take a breather and let them live!"
"Even if Tianshuizong gets the treasure of Jiuyou Demon Palace, together with Lin Bai's share, it will account for 60% of the treasure, Tianshuizong will not be able to recover to its peak."
"It doesn't matter!"
When the people in the dark heard Emperor Chu's words, they thought about it carefully and did not refute, which meant that they acquiesced.
Someone asked: "Your Majesty, how do you deal with Shenglian Palace?"
Emperor Chu's face turned cold, "The Holy Lotus Palace already knew that the twenty-first prince had a key in his hand, but he kept it secret in an attempt to obtain it."
"It's time to teach Shenglian Palace a lesson."
"only……"
Emperor Chu was a little embarrassed.
People in the dark, many people are very clear about what the Emperor Chu is embarrassing.
Back then, the concubine of Shenglian Palace joined the royal family and gave birth to the second prince, but the second prince died strangely and suddenly.
Emperor Chu thought that he owed the Holy Lotus Palace, so all these years, he had a gentle policy towards the Holy Lotus Palace, and did not make an enemy of the Holy Lotus Palace.
"Forget it, let's give them another chance." Emperor Chu shook his head, "This is the last chance for Shenglian Palace. If they dare to presume again, it will not be too late for us to take action."
Just then.
Outside the golden hall, the voice of your father-in-law came, "Your Majesty, Lord Wolf Lord Lin Bai has arrived."
"Let him in." Emperor Chu took a deep breath, and summoned Lin Bai, and the people in the dark quieted down tactfully.
