Chapter 119: Suspicion

Lin Chunxi hurriedly stood up and said to the crown prince Li Shanyuan, "The crown prince doesn't have to worry too much, the eighth prince is also a man of temperament, and what he said is a joke, the eighth prince said that he would wait with me to go back to the cave and cultivate the Tao, haha", after Li Shanyuan heard this, his face also relaxed slightly, and he did not continue to ask about the eighth prince. However, Lin Chunxi knew very well in his heart that the matter of the eighth prince meeting him had already formed a knot in the heart of the crown prince Li Shanyuan, I am afraid that this matter will not pass like this easily, compared to the contradictions between the royal family, and the matter is also very delicate. However, Lin Chunxi had no intention of intervening too much in this matter, and what he wanted to do at this time was to understand the matter as soon as possible, so that he could return to the mountain to continue his cultivation.

Lin Chunxi told Li Shanyuan about the Five Elements Array that Xue Lingheng had discovered, but he didn't mention the fact that Xue Lingheng had notes in his hand, and he also told Li Shanyuan that they had been to the City God Temple to investigate, and he also didn't tell him about meeting Zhu Yehong there, let alone telling Li Shanyuan about the note that the eighth prince gave him, Lin Chunxi also felt a little awkward in his heart at this time, he had never lied since he cultivated, but since he came to the capital of Wu Kingdom, he has begun to learn not to confide in others the truth, in fact, from his heart, except for a few of his own junior disciples, no one wants to believe it, all kinds of things show, and couldn't make him completely trust anyone. No wonder the teacher Li Huachen warned himself before they came, this trip must not forget to abide by the original heart, the prosperity and sound of this world, for the cultivators, is indeed a great test, the ancient precept that the cultivators do not enter the world, it is too reasonable.

Although the life in the mountains is poorer, but the life is very fulfilling, there are always a lot of things that they like to do, but here we must always pay attention to deceit, pay attention everywhere, and do not forget to hide our true thoughts when interacting with people, it is really too difficult for Lin Chunxi and others who only want to realize the Tao as soon as possible.

At present, the crown prince is becoming more and more incomprehensible, and Lin Chunxi even began to wonder if Li Shanyuan in front of him was hiding something from him, but because of his identity, Lin Chunxi would never ask more, but the note given to him by the eighth prince had to make him think more, so Lin Chunxi only selectively said some of his own discoveries.

After Li Shanyuan heard Lin Chunxi's story, he was shocked, it seemed that he didn't seem to expect that this matter would be related to the Five Elements Array, but Lin Chunxi also added that he had no evidence, because of the fire in the Yamen archives warehouse of the Criminal Department, there is no evidence at present, speaking of this time, Li Shanyuan's face softened slightly, and he was inadvertently a little relaxed, which made Lin Chunxi, who was already a little suspicious, have greater doubts in his heart. After listening to Lin Chunxi's introduction, Li Shanyuan pondered for a while, just said some words that Lin Chunxi and others did their best, and there were no substantive requirements, and the two said some other gossip, Lin Chunxi saw that Li Shanyuan still had official business to deal with, so he didn't delay much, and found a reason to get up and say goodbye, Li Shanyuan didn't keep him, but he still got up to send him off, and sent it to the gate of the courtyard, Li Shanyuan stopped his footsteps, after Lin Chunxi left the Prince's Mansion, he didn't stop, and immediately rushed back to the inn where he stayed along the road。

When Lin Chunxi left, Li Shanyuan turned back to his study and waved towards the shadow of the garden, and two inconspicuous-looking people flashed and quickly followed the study.

Li Shanyuan sat on the Taishi chair, but the expression on his face was no longer amiable just now, this matter looked a little ruthless, the two knelt on the ground after entering the house, Li Shanyuan did not speak, raised his hand slightly, the two hurriedly got up, and the leader of them stepped forward and said to Li Shanyuan, " Prince Yu, Lin Chunxi once went to an alley after leaving the Eighth Prince's Mansion, we didn't dare to follow too close, and after he left, we went in and found that he seemed to have burned something inside, which had turned into ashes, and we couldn't see the contents of it clearly."

Li Shanyuan's eyes flashed with cunning, and then looked at the two, the two hurriedly knelt down again, and begged for mercy again and again, "Please atone for the prince's sins, it's not that I didn't do my best, he is very vigilant, we can't chase too closely, it's too late to grab the note."

Li Shanyuan's eyes eased slightly, and he said to the two of them with a sneering voice, "I don't blame you, if he doesn't even have this vigilance, he can't be called a disciple of the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, you will continue to stare at the inn for a while, and continue to pay more attention to them, but don't be discovered by them, otherwise once we are caught, we will be very passive, if you are captured because of your own mistakes, you two should know what to do, right?", Li Shanyuan's eyes flashed a cold light.

The two looked at each other tremblingly, then nodded heavily, and said, "Subordinates understand!"

A satisfied smile appeared on Li Shanyuan's face, removed a silver ingot from under the table, threw it to the two of them, and said casually, "Take it for a cup of tea, and then continue to keep an eye on it, if you miss something, don't come back to see me."

The two hurriedly thanked the crown prince, hurriedly exited the study, a silver ingot was enough for two people and more than ten years of tea, received the crown prince's money, received the crown prince's order, where is there still a reason to not do their best, the two of them went out of the crown prince's mansion from the back door, and made a detour to the direction of the inn.

After Lin Chunxi returned to the inn, he called everyone to his room, closed the door, and whispered to everyone about what happened, including being intercepted by the eighth prince halfway, and then leaving a note for himself.

Lin Chunxi felt in his heart that this Eighth Prince was by no means simple, although it seemed a little informal, but he was shrewd and capable in his bones, and he was by no means a ridiculous person, so he decided to visit the Eighth Prince's Mansion again tonight to listen to what the mysterious King Wu wanted to say to him.

As for the speculation and suspicion of Li Shanyuan, Lin Chunxi did not say much to the other people, because he felt that it was not appropriate to say more before there was clear evidence, not to mention that in this capital, who does not have a few ulterior secrets, the pressure on the crown prince is greater than that of himself, and he is the person who entrusted this matter, and the teacher also instructed him to fully cooperate with Li Shanyuan, so he cannot jump to conclusions without clear evidence.
