Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

When we walked out of the palace, it was already getting dark.

A new day has come again, and the scorching golden light pierces the darkness and shines into the majestic imperial capital.

"Senior Brother Shengzi."

As soon as they walked out of the palace, Qiao Mo and Qin Yao, as well as Bai Yifei and Zhou Xinjun, were waiting outside the palace gate.

Everyone was relieved when they saw Lin Bai walking out safely.

Qiao Mo and Qin Yao had somewhat complaining expressions on their faces. Their faces were solemn and they stared at Lin Bai sharply.

After the two women did not salute, they did not talk to Lin Bai anymore.

Bai Yifei stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother Shengzi, your Majesty sent an order yesterday, asking you to assist Prince Liang's Mansion in searching the royal family of the Chu Kingdom and the five families and seven sects of the Chu Kingdom."

"Senior Brother Shengzi was not in the palace at that time, so we had to take over the order on behalf of Senior Brother Shengzi."

"Senior Brother Shengzi didn't come back for another night. We received news that Senior Brother was summoned to the palace by Emperor Chu, so we came here to wait."

Bai Yifei quickly told Lin Bai why they appeared here.

"It's already dawn. Prince Liang's Mansion sent an order yesterday asking Brother Shengzi to go to Prince Liang's Mansion today to discuss countermeasures."

"That's why we are here specifically to remind Senior Brother Shengzi."

Emperor Chu ordered Lin Bai to assist the Liang Palace in investigating the royal family and the five families and seven sects. Lin Bai already knew about this.

Last night in the Immortal Tower, Princess Chu Tinghan specifically mentioned this matter. At that time, Lin Bai had not received the order from Emperor Chu.

Later, after coming out of the Moon Palace and entering the palace, Emperor Chu told Lin Bai bluntly.

Lin Bai still served as the sword bearer of the Zhaoxing Division. The Blood Dragon Legion of the Zhaoxing Division was dispatched by Lin Bai to assist the Liang Palace in searching the five, seven sects and royal families of the Chu Kingdom.

"I already know about this."

"I'm going to Prince Liang's Mansion now."

Lin Bai responded expressionlessly.

The chat with Emperor Chu in the palace was not pleasant, but it did not mean that Lin Bai gave up his career.

To go to the Seven Realms of Heaven, you still need to use the Chu Kingdom.

Before achieving this goal, Lin Bai would not deliberately break up with the Chu royal family.

Moreover, this mission to rescue the Holy Son is not only for the Chu royal family, but also for Lin Bai's friends.

Meng Qinxian of Fantian Sect, Nie Shang of Baitian Sect, Yi Heze of Dingtian Sword Sect, Lu Qingjun of Qijue City, Mo Nan of Star Sect, Li Xuanqiu of Yue Sect...the whereabouts of these friends are still unknown.

"The sect wants us to accompany Senior Brother Shengzi."

"His Majesty the Chu Emperor's decree is for our Tianshui Sect to represent the five and seven sects of the Chu State, the Zhaoxing Division to represent the imperial court, and the Liang Prince's Palace to represent the royal family. We, the three parties, will jointly investigate."

"So the ancestor thought that we, the Tianshui Sect, should also put in some effort."

Bai Yifei explained the opinion of his ancestor Zhang Bailiu, but Lin Bai did not shirk and allowed Bai Yifei, Zhou Xinjun and others to follow.

Everyone in the Tianshui Sect headed towards Prince Liang's Mansion.

On the way, Qiao Mo and Qin Yao remained silent, and everyone could see that the two women were somewhat resentful.

Lin Bai naturally saw it and sighed helplessly.

"It's not that I want to go to the Moon Palace, it's that Chu Zimo wants to use my way to make friends with Qi Lingyu and Wang Zhengyang."

"I had no choice but to accompany the banquet."

"Nothing happened. The ancestors of Qitian Sect and Wansheng Mountain came forward to take Qi Lingyu and Wang Zhengyang away. Later, I was called into the palace by Emperor Chu."

Lin Bai thought about it and finally explained.

There will be chaos in the imperial capital next, and now is not the time to lose temper.

After Qiao Mo and Qin Yao heard the explanation, their expressions really softened a little, and they slowly felt relieved.

Although Bai Yifei and Zhou Xinjun also heard what Lin Bai said, they both knew that Lin Bai said it specifically to Qiao Mo and Qin Yao, and they did not express any opinions after hearing it.

“It’s better not to go to places like that with fireworks.”

"Chu Zimo wants to make friends with the powerful Holy Son, so he can hold a banquet in the Immortal Tower."

Qiao Mo muttered something.

"Won't go there again."

Lin Bai smiled bitterly and shook his head. Lin Bai did not expect such a big commotion during this trip to the Moon Palace.

Chu Zimo put on the biggest battle since the establishment of the Moon Palace. More than fifty oirans from the seventy-two palaces of the Moon Palace all showed up to perform.

Even Emperor Chu had never enjoyed such specifications.

Then the ancestors of Qitian Sect and the ancestors of Wansheng Mountain appeared in the Moon Palace at the same time, which attracted the attention of many people.

The commotion was too big, and now everyone knows... Chu Zimo, the eldest son of Prince Liang, Lin Bai, the saint son of Tianshui Sect, Qi Lingyu, the saint son of Qitian Sect, and Wang Zhengyang, the saint son of Wansheng Mountain, were in the Moon Palace last night in the wine pool and meat forest.

But now, the prosperity is gone, leaving only loneliness.

Chu Zimo was so frightened by his two sisters that he ran back to Prince Liang's Mansion to plead guilty to Prince Liang.

Qi Lingyu and Wang Zhengyang were also taken back by their ancestors and kept under strict supervision.

Lin Bai was also summoned by Emperor Chu and scolded him in the golden palace.

Lin Bai had decided not to go to the Moon Palace easily, unless it was for someone's banquet, and he really couldn't shirk it.

~~~~~

Prince Liang was one of the most powerful military kings in the Chu Kingdom. His palace was not as luxurious as other palaces, but instead was extremely simple.

The heavy gate of the palace is written with the vicissitudes of history, and dozens of soldiers wearing blue armor majestically guard the door.

"Master Jun, you are polite. We are here to pay homage to Prince Liang."

Lin Bai stepped forward and spoke with his hands.

Seeing these dozen soldiers wearing armor, Lin Bai couldn't help but think of the Qinglong Camp under Prince Liang's Mansion.

When Emperor Chu ordered King Liang to investigate the Chu royal family, he declined all conditions except for one request, which was to allow Qinglong Camp to enter the imperial capital.

No military king or general in the Chu Kingdom was allowed to lead troops into the imperial capital privately without the clear instructions of the Chu Emperor.

This is one of the iron laws of Chu State.

Once the military king and generals enter the imperial capital privately, it will be regarded as treason.

There is no need for these military kings to worry about the security of the imperial capital.

The Chu royal family has a million forbidden troops in the imperial capital dedicated to protecting the imperial capital, as well as the nine legions of the Zhaoxing Division, which are enough to maintain the tranquility of the imperial capital.

According to the original rules, even if the Liang Palace accepted the order of His Majesty the Chu Emperor and needed manpower to assist, it should allocate men and horses from the Forbidden Army.

But the reason given by Prince Liang is also very simple. He is used to using his own people, but it is not easy to use others.

Now that the situation was urgent, His Majesty the Emperor of Chu did not embarrass the Liang Palace and agreed to let the Qinglong Camp enter the imperial capital.

"Master Langhou, the prince has already given instructions. If Lord Wolf comes, go directly to the study to see him."

"Master Langhou, please come this way."

These soldiers from the Qinglong Camp did not embarrass Lin Bai. After returning the greeting respectfully, they led Lin Bai and the Tianshui Sect into the study room in Prince Liang's Mansion.

Along the way, Lin Bai looked around at the surrounding scenery and found that Prince Liang's Mansion was really poor.

It can be said that the family has only four walls.

The huge mansion was empty, with very few servants and maids. Only soldiers in armor came and went.

There are no rare flowers, no rockeries, no unique arrangements in the yard... It just looks like a long-abandoned house.

In terms of luxury, it is estimated that the Tianshui Sect Palace is much better than the Liang Prince's Mansion.

"Prince Liang, you are really informal."

Bai Yifei sighed softly.

But Lin Bai knew... Prince Liang's fiefdom was not within the imperial capital, and he led troops to fight in all directions all year round. If it hadn't been for the birthday of Emperor Chu, he probably would not have returned to the imperial capital.

If you don't return to the imperial capital all year round, then the royal palace in the imperial capital will naturally be uninhabited all year round, and it will naturally end up in such depression and emptiness.
