Chapter 116: The Eighth Prince
Zhu Yehong's face turned crimson for a while, and then replied, "At the beginning of the period, I didn't know your details and intentions very well, so I was offended, and I would like to invite you Haihan, but not all of us are outside the inn, please be careful, I will still leave some manpower, if Childe needs, you can dispatch them at will."
After the two sides said goodbye, Lin Chunxi and the others watched Zhu Yehong disappear into the night, and the brothers looked at each other, and they all felt that they did underestimate this trip to the capital, at this time it was by no means as simple as imagined, there were already many forces infiltrating it, and some people were indeed plotting against it, I am afraid that there would inevitably be a vicious fight.
Lu Ling opened his mouth and asked, "This bamboo leaf red monster, and that Xiaoyao Hou, is it reliable?"
Lin Chunxi said, "No matter what they say is true or false, anyway, judging from the current situation, none of us can believe it casually, nor can we offend anyone, we can't tell if it's true or false in this capital, we don't look at what the other party says, we have to look at what the other party does, we still investigate our case and wait and see what happens."
Subsequently, Lin Chunxi and the three of them also left the City God Temple and rushed back in the direction of the inn. Not long after they left, from the top of the pavilion of the City God Temple, a person slowly floated down, this person was wearing a ghost head mask, looking gloomy in the dark, his robe swayed in the breeze, and he seemed a little not angry and arrogant, he had heard all the conversations of everyone just now. Everyone did not find any trace of him, which shows that this person's kung fu is extremely high, this is a few people flashed out of the shadows, kneeling at the foot of the ghost mask, waiting for orders. This person looked at the few people who had left, was silent thoughtfully for a moment, and then said to his subordinates, "Everything is according to the original plan, this City God Temple will not be used again in the future", several black shadows nodded yes, and then the person pondered for a moment, and continued, "Withdraw all the people outside the inn", the following people took the order, and then retreated into the dark shadows, and the person wearing the ghost head mask stood for a while, and then disappeared into the night with a gust of breeze.
In the early morning of the next day, after Lin Chunxi and the others got up, they found that there were many fewer suspicious figures outside the inn than in the past, and they knew that in addition to Zhu Yehong's men and horses, other forces had also withdrawn. However, it is still not to be taken lightly, and the other party is likely to turn this surveillance into covert, so it is still not possible to be careless. The trip to the City God's Temple, did not find the desired result, although there are Zhu Yehong and others who have confessed their identities, but they still can't be easily believed, after all, none of them have ever seen Xiaoyaohou, let alone know the real reason why this Xiaoyaohou is so concerned about this matter.
In view of the fact that the deaths of the five children before the City God Temple incident were unknown, Lin Chunxi and the others decided to investigate the matter as soon as possible, so after breakfast, everyone quickly left the office after receiving their orders. Among them, Lin Chunxi planned to meet Li Shanyuan once, firstly, he had not had time to tell him about his discovery last time, and secondly, he also wanted to talk to the crown prince as much as possible, and wanted to understand the details of the crown prince, because Lin Chunxi always felt that the crown prince did not completely confess to him, and he may have concealed something, and the matter was very important at this time, and all forces were involved, so if he wanted to find out about the matter, he must start with this crown prince.
So, Lin Chunxi changed his clothes and walked straight out of the inn, this time he did not take the path, but walked straight to the mainland, but when he didn't go on the road for a long time, he suddenly felt that someone was following him, Lin Chunxi smiled secretly, didn't want to think about it, turned into an alley, and the two people who were following behind hesitated for a moment before following in.
Lin Chunxi walked around three times and walked to the depths of the alley, turned around sharply, and looked at the two people who were following behind him, but with intuition, Lin Chunxi felt that the other party had no malicious intentions, and seemed to have hidden feelings, so he stood still and calmly looked at the two people who were a little embarrassed opposite, the two scratched their heads for a while, and a little embarrassment appeared on their faces, and the older one of them took a step forward, "Please rest assured, we are not villains, we just have something to ask for Gongzi, and I hope Gongzi will forgive me." Parkway
Lin Chunxi saw that the other party was polite, and asked casually, "Is there anything wrong with those two looking for me?"
The older man hurriedly stepped forward and replied in a deep voice, "If you go back to your son, it is my old prince who has been invited."
Lin Chunxi was stunned for a moment, "Old prince, which old prince, what is the matter with me?", the person who came saw the doubts in Lin Chunxi's heart, and quickly explained, "It's the eighth prince of my family who has something to ask Mr. Lin to come to the house to talk."
Lin Chunxi was even more puzzled after hearing this, this eighth prince had heard people talk about it, but it was the eighth brother of the emperor today, in addition to listening to opera and singing, it was fighting dogs and walking birds, and the things in the court were not asked at all, a rich prince's style, today he actually sent someone to invite himself secretly, I don't know what it is, but Lin Chunxi felt that there must be something strange in it, the ups and downs of the capital in the past few days have made Lin Chunxi see the cruelty of the world, especially in the royal family, who dares to say that he can stay out of the matter, I am afraid that all the rich families in the capital have some ulterior secrets behind them, and the figure who lives deep in the temple has human blood under his hands。
Thinking of this, Lin Chunxi nodded, and said with a smile to the two, "Let's bother the two of you to lead the way", he made up his mind to take a look at what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this eighth prince, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to touch the bottom of the royal family from the side.
Seeing Lin Chunxi's refreshment, the two hurriedly greeted each other with a smile and led the way in front of their heads. In order not to let Lin Chunxi have other ideas, the two of them explained vigorously, this is the order of the prince, and they don't want the people next to them to know that Mr. Lin went to the house, so Lin Chunxi didn't care about the knife, because he saw that these two people were just ordinary generals, and although they took a small road, it was not a sparsely populated route, so they didn't think much about it.
After a short time, they walked out of the alley and went straight to the gate of the Eight Princes' Mansion, and after coming to the door, the guards at the door saw the two of them, and hurriedly made a way to welcome Lin Chunxi into the mansion, and went straight to the back garden.
Lin Chunxi looked at the mansion of the eight princes while walking, it was really magnificent, the decoration inside was all fine jade, many rare trees and flowers, everywhere, to say that the furnishings of the eight princes were no worse than the inner courtyard of the palace, it was not an exaggeration.
