Lin Bai finally understood why Liang Wang supported his troops and respected himself, but Emperor Chu and his princes ignored it.
Because they knew very well that as long as King Liang did not get the support of the royal ancestors, he would not dare to act rashly.
"I told Mr. Langhou these royal secrets just to remind Mr. Lang that he doesn't have to think all bad things about me in the future."
The third prince smiled bitterly.
After Lin Bai learned about Xiaoyaosan, he immediately thought that the third prince was behind it.
But the third prince could also understand Lin Bai's thoughts. After all, they were political enemies before.
At the same time, explain clearly to Lin Bai at this moment, so that Lin Bai will not have any gaps in the future.
The third prince said: "I have voluntarily given up the fight for the position of Emperor Chu, and I have also testified with His Highness the Prince in front of the ancestors. Even if I still have the intention to fight for the Emperor of Chu, I dare not go against the opinions of the ancestors. "
"I can't guarantee what the world will be like in the future, but I can guarantee Lord Lang that I will not dare to fight for the throne again until the ancestors have explicitly deposed His Highness Prince Chen."
The third prince also made his words very clear.
Before the ancestor of the royal family deposed His Highness King Chen, it was not that he had no desire to compete for the throne, but that he did not dare to do so at all.
Just like the King of Liang back then and the Emperor of Chu today.
At that time, King Liang was forced to give up his fight for the throne of Chu Emperor. To this day, thousands of years have passed, although he still covets the throne, he has never dared to take action.
"I have made it clear to Mr. Langhou about this matter. I hope Mr. Wolf will not target me in the future."
"At the same time, deal with the things in front of you."
The third prince said: "I know that Lord Lang doesn't care about things in the demon world, and he doesn't even care who will be the Emperor of Chu in the future. But after all, many of the people captured this time are friends of Lord Lang. .”
"I believe Lord Wolf doesn't want to see them die either."
Lin Bai looked silent and nodded: "But I have nothing to do now. I can only wait for them to take action first."
The third prince said: "That's true. We have nothing to do. We can only wait and see what they think."
At this time.
The deer cart that was traveling suddenly stopped, and the accompanying servants came to report it.
"Your Highness, the officials of the inner court are blocking the way, saying that His Majesty the Emperor of Chu has ordered that Lord Langhou be invited to enter the palace."
"knew."
The third prince responded casually and said to Lin Bai: "It seems that my father can't sit still anymore and wants you to come to the palace to think of a way."
Lin Bai shook his head and said: "The huge Chu State has nothing to do. What can I do as a mere person?"
The third prince said: "You are different from Chu State. You are the one who is in the middle of the situation."
“Although the authorities are obsessed with the situation, sometimes those who are in the midst of the situation feel things more clearly than those of us who are watching.”
"Don't worry. After entering the palace, if you know anything, just tell my father."
"He won't make things difficult for you."
Lin Bai nodded in agreement and immediately walked out of the carriage.
In front of the deer cart, there was indeed an official standing with his hands folded, accompanied by more than 20 officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army.
Seeing Lin Bai walking in, the eunuch said excitedly: "Master Langhou, the Emperor of Chu has invited me."
"Lead the way."
Get off the deer cart, board the chariot prepared by the eunuch, and arrive at the golden palace of the imperial city without any obstruction.
Although it was not the first time that Lin Bai came to the Golden Palace of the Imperial City, he had the same feeling every time he came.
Depressed!
That was in the face of the suppression of the supreme imperial power of the Chu Kingdom. Even though Lin Bai's cultivation had reached the Taiyi Daoguo realm, he still felt short of breath under this terrifying pressure.
The Golden Palace was empty, and darkness enveloped the surroundings.
The dragon chair, which represents the supreme power of Chu State, still stands in the divine light.
On the dragon chair, Emperor Chu sat upright and looked at Lin Bai who was walking slowly.
"The Holy Son of Tianshui Sect, Lord Langhou of Chu State, Lin Bai, pays homage to Your Majesty."
Lin Bai entered the hall and saluted respectfully.
Emperor Chu raised his hand to beckon and said, "Come closer and speak."
Lin Bai took a few steps forward after hearing this, and did not stop until he was ten steps away from the dragon chair.
Anyone who can walk ten steps below the dragon chair is without exception an important official in the Chu Kingdom.
A few steps forward is where the King of Liang used to be when he entered the palace to meet Emperor Chu.
The King of Liang usually stands three steps away from the dragon throne.
The position of King Liang is moving forward, which is where King Chen and the third prince usually stand, only two steps away from the dragon chair.
Further forward is where the ancestors of the past generations will appear. They are closest to the dragon chair, only one step away.
This special etiquette of the Chu royal family is always a warning to the Emperor of Chu who is sitting on the dragon chair. If you don't work hard, the person standing under the dragon chair will replace you anytime and anywhere.
"Have you heard about what happened in the imperial capital?"
"heard."
Lin Bai replied calmly.
Emperor Chu raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "As far as I know, many of your friends disappeared mysteriously in this incident. You don't seem to be worried about them?"
Lin Bai said: "I'm worried, but what can I do?"
"A group of people can openly abduct the saints and saints of top sects under the eyes of the Chu State. Even the Chu State can't do anything to them. What can I, a mere person, do?"
Emperor Chu held his forehead and rubbed his eyebrows, looking a little sad.
"What do you think about this?"
"The Northern Territory or the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
Lin Bai told Emperor Chu truthfully what he was thinking, and then added: "In other words... the two of them joined forces."
Emperor Chu was calm and calm, as if he had already been accustomed to strong winds and waves. He was very calm at this moment: "How can you see it?"
Lin Bai said: "It is your Majesty's birthday. Although warriors from the Northern Territory have the opportunity to enter the Imperial Capital, they also know very well that while they can enter the Imperial Capital, they will also be closely monitored by the Zhaoxing Division."
"So they don't dare to do anything else."
"But there are others in the imperial capital who can help them do their job."
"For example... the Nine Nether Demon Palace has always wanted to resurrect. They have enough strength and warriors to accomplish these things."
Lin Bai did not even elaborate on these thoughts to His Highness Prince Chen.
Just because Lin Bai had no evidence at all, all this was just his conjecture.
As for telling Emperor Chu these things, I just want to give him a warning and ask him to send people to investigate Jiuyou Demon Palace, and they will surely find clues.
Emperor Chu thought for a moment and asked, "In your opinion, what should we do next?"
"Do nothing!" Lin Bai replied.
Emperor Chu frowned and asked in confusion: "Do nothing?"
Lin Bai replied: "I left the imperial capital and went to see all the sects and families that were attacked. The dead were ordinary disciples of no importance. None of the core disciples or the Saint Son Ancestor-level figures died."
"Since they have captured all these Saint Sons and Ancestors, they obviously have ulterior motives."
"But no matter what their plot is, they are all here for the Chu State." Lin Bai said with a smile: "So I predict that within a few months or as long as a year, they will definitely make demands to the Chu State. "
