His Royal Highness Chen Wang dismissed the envoys, musicians and dancers, and talked with Lin Bai about the current affairs in the imperial capital.
Lin Bai asked in a deep voice: "I have heard from suzerain Chu Xi about the matter of the twelve princes. I don't know if His Royal Highness Chen Wang has taken care of the affairs in Xieyue Qianzhou? Has the posthumous son been found? "
The affairs of the Twelve Princes are considered taboo in Chu State.
Lin Bai naturally didn't say how much he knew, but just asked if the posthumous son had been found?
The posthumous child does not seem to be much danger to His Highness Chen Wang now, but if the third prince finds a suitable opportunity to take out the posthumous child, it will definitely cause serious damage to His Royal Highness Chen Wang.
His Royal Highness Chen Wang sighed softly, shook his head and said: "When my troops arrived in Xieyue Qianzhou, the posthumous son had already been taken away. I guess it must be the third prince's person."
"Although I don't know where he is at the moment? But it must be in the imperial capital."
"His Royal Highness, the third prince, has brought him to the imperial capital."
His Royal Highness Chen Wang keenly sensed that after the posthumous son was taken away by the third prince's men, he must have brought him to the imperial capital.
It's just that I don't know where the third prince is hiding him now? And how do you plan to use this person.
His Royal Highness Chen Wang said to Lin Bai: "Brother Lin, I know that the Tianshui Sect has just experienced a catastrophe. At this moment, all things are waiting to be done. When I need to employ people, I didn't want to invite you to the imperial capital in such a hurry, but the current situation in the imperial capital is very special. Seriously, I can no longer deal with the imperial capital with my own strength."
"Although I used to have a group of old ministries in the imperial capital a thousand years ago, I also gathered them during this time."
"But who can guarantee that after a thousand years, they will continue to be loyal to me?"
Thousands of years ago, His Royal Highness Chen Wang was also one of the most powerful princes in the imperial capital, and also the most favorable contender for the throne.
At that time, His Royal Highness Chen also had a group of people who were loyal to him.
For example, Zhou Wang, who came to greet Lin Bai and others just now, was a person who loyal to His Royal Highness Chen Wang thousands of years ago.
But thousands of years ago, after the incident of the Twelve Princes broke out, His Royal Highness Chen Wang was implicated and was demoted to leave the imperial capital.
Those who were loyal to His Royal Highness Chen Wang back then also fell and scattered.
Although His Royal Highness Chen has summoned the old department back then, but thousands of years have passed, His Royal Highness Chen is not sure how many people are still loyal to him, and how many people have already been bought by the third prince and became the palace of the other city. hidden stake.
His Royal Highness Chen Wang said: "So, I have no choice but to ask you to enter the imperial capital for help."
Lin Bai nodded slightly, and said: "Several ancestors of Tianshui Sect have left the customs. At present, the affairs of the sect have been handed over to the ancestors. I have nothing else to do in Shuijinghai. If I enter the emperor, I can help His Highness." Some, that would be excellent."
"I don't know what His Highness needs me to do?"
Lin Bai asked His Royal Highness Chen Wang.
His Royal Highness Chen Wang stretched out two fingers and said, "Two things."
"First, help me find the orphan of the Twelfth Prince. He is extremely important to me. I must keep the last trace of the Twelfth Prince's blood."
Lin Bai nodded, and he already guessed in his heart that His Royal Highness Chen Wang invited him into the imperial capital to find the blood of the Twelve Princes.
After all, at present, the situation of His Royal Highness Chen Wang in the imperial capital is delicate, he can't go to find the blood of the twelve princes in person, otherwise he will be caught by the third prince, and there will be another storm.
His Royal Highness Chen Wang continued: "The second thing is to help me maintain the law and order of the imperial capital."
"Right now the imperial capital is mixed with dragons and snakes. Disciples from major sects and families from all over the devil world have gathered in the imperial capital. , I am used to running amok, and I am afraid that I will not restrain myself when I come to the imperial capital."
"Also, the birthday of Emperor Chu is a grand event once every ten thousand years in the devil world. There will inevitably be many devils, cultists, etc. in the imperial capital. Beware of them taking advantage of the fire to loot and stir up trouble."
This is the second difficulty His Royal Highness Chen encountered.
When Lin Bai went to the imperial capital, Li Guxian mentioned this matter, and Lin Bai also knew that this matter had great advantages and disadvantages.
His Royal Highness Chen Wang said: "During Emperor Chu's birthday, the Imperial Capital Zhao Xingsi and the garrison will be dispatched by me."
"Brother, I will arrange for you to become the "sword bearer" of Zhaoxing Division. You don't have to patrol the streets every day like the garrison and Zhaoxing division warriors. You only need to use your status as a sword bearer at critical times , just help me with some tricky problems. "
The full name of Zhao Xingsi's sword-holding envoy is "the envoy holding the sword of the Son of Heaven".
The Tianzi Sword refers to Emperor Chu.
The envoy holding the sword of the Son of Heaven refers to the imperial envoy of Emperor Chu.
This official position is neither big nor small.
His position in the Zhao Xing Division is to supervise the warriors of the Zhao Xing Division to ensure that they will not engage in malpractice for personal gain.
But usually, only the Emperor Chu is qualified to send a sword-wielding envoy.
so.
His Royal Highness Chen Wang wanted to arrange for Lin Bai to be the sword-bearer, and he needed to write a letter to His Majesty the Emperor of Chu. After the Emperor of Chu agreed, Lin Bai could take up the post.
Qiao Mo, Qin Yao, and the second elder, the nine elders of the Tianshui Sect, although they did not become sword bearers, under the arrangement of His Highness Chen Wang, they also put on a robe belonging to the Zhao Xingsi, so that they could be in the imperial capital. act within.
Lin Bai nodded again and again: "His Royal Highness Chen's arrangement has saved us a lot of trouble, and it will be much more convenient for us to do things in the imperial capital."
His Royal Highness Chen Wang nodded slightly: "But I still don't want you, the 'sword bearer', to make a move. If the sword bearer really needs to do something, then this matter must be extremely serious."
The banquet didn't end until late at night.
At the banquet, Qiao Mo, Qin Yao and others were silent, listening quietly to Lin Bai and His Royal Highness Chen discussing the current situation in the imperial capital.
His Royal Highness Chen Wang said: "Brother Lin, when you first arrived in the imperial capital, you were exhausted by boats and cars, so go and rest first."
"I have arranged for you to live in another courtyard. If you are not used to living in it, you can also return to Tianshuizong's palace in the imperial capital. I have already ordered someone to clean it out."
Lin Bai bowed his hands and thanked: "Then let's go back to the palace to live. Anyway, it's not far from Chen Wang's mansion, and it's very convenient to come and go."
His Royal Highness Chen Wang nodded repeatedly, and said: "Zhou Wang is the chief steward of Chen Wang's mansion. If brother Lin needs me urgently, and I'm not in the palace, brother Lin can just go to Zhou Wang. He is someone you can trust. .¡±
Lin Bai glanced at the old man standing behind His Highness Chen Wang.
Just now His Royal Highness Chen Wang dismissed all the people, but the old man was left behind. Obviously, he has a lot of trust in this old man.
Zhou Wang cupped his hands and said: "In the future, I will ask Lin Baishangqing to give me more advice."
Lin Bai smiled slightly: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
The banquet is over.
The members of Tianshuizong left Prince Chen's mansion, boarded the Qinglong beast chariot, and returned to Tianshuizong's palace in the imperial capital.
