As night falls.
Lin Jiangnian had just walked out of Ruyi Tower and sighed softly.
I went to Ruyi Tower today but couldn't find the Xuanyang Diagram, nor could I resolve the doubts in my heart. The old senior in the tower really didn't seem to know anything about the Xuanyang Diagram.
Could it be that we can only start with Prince Lin?
He is the only person who practices the Xuan Yang Heart Method, so naturally he is most likely aware of the existence of the Xuan Yang Diagram.
only……
Lin Jiangnian felt vaguely uneasy.
If the Xuan Yang Tu was really on Lin Hengzhong, how could he get it?
More importantly, Lin Jiangnian's identity...
Now that he has initially gained a foothold in Prince Lin's Palace, the crisis before him has not been resolved.
Lin Hengzhong!
The biological father of Prince Lin!
How could he not understand his own son?
Could Lin Jiangnian really avoid revealing any flaws when facing him?
He couldn't guarantee it.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Jiangnian quickly calmed down.
What was to come would come sooner or later, and all he could do was to be fully prepared. Even if the worst-case scenario happened, it wouldn't be completely out of control.
At least for now, Lin Jiangnian is still safe.
and……
Lin Jiangnian turned around and glanced into the attic behind him.
The old senior Li in the building... is strange but not simple!
During their conversation today, Lin Jiangnian felt this more and more. This frail old man's martial arts attainments were not low. Although he did not know any martial arts, in their brief previous exchange, he was able to point out some of Lin Jiangnian's training mistakes.
It seems that anyone who can be a kite master is definitely not an ordinary person.
At present, Lin Jiangnian has not started to learn any martial arts. Perhaps, this old senior Li is a good candidate?
…
"Your Highness!"
When Lin Jiangnian stepped out of Sun Moon Lake, maids had been waiting for him by the lake for a long time.
"Dinner is ready. Your Highness, are you hungry? Would you like to eat now?"
Lin Jiangnian nodded slightly, and under the guidance of the maid, he left the lake and returned to the mansion.
However, when passing by a courtyard, Lin Jiangnian stopped again, looked up at the courtyard, and said nothing.
The maid leading the way stopped when she saw His Highness and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
"Whose residence is this?"
Lin Jiangnian asked calmly.
The maid glanced up and was suddenly a little frightened. She lowered her head and said cautiously, "Your Highness, this is... the residence of Lord Lin Konglin, the former commander of your personal army..."
She had naturally heard that a few days ago, the commander of the imperial army, Lord Lin Kong, had offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and was dismissed from his post, given a hundred strokes of the cane, and was currently recuperating at home...
I don't know where I offended His Highness, but now His Highness is bringing it up again, could it be...
"Your Highness, do you want to go see Master Lin Kong?"
“No need!”
Lin Jiangnian withdrew his gaze from the yard calmly and said lightly: "Let's go."
“…”
night.
In the silent room.
The oil lamp on the table swayed, casting two figures on the ground.
"No?"
At the table, the woman in red frowned slightly, her face slightly solemn and serious, with a look of suspicion: "Shouldn't it be?"
"Have you looked carefully?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at her face quietly and nodded, "I've already looked for it today, and I really didn't find the Xuanyang Diagram in Ruyi Tower... Could it be that your information is wrong?"
"If the Xuanyang Map is such an important item, where else can it be if it is not in Ruyi Tower?"
The woman in red looked increasingly puzzled.
"That's not clear..."
Lin Jiangnian spread his hands and said, "No one knows what the Xuanyang Diagram is. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. It would be a problem if we could find it, right?"
The woman in red remained silent.
Indeed, he was right.
Even she herself didn't know what the Xuan Yang Diagram was, so how could she find it so easily?
Thinking of this, she frowned and fell into deep thought.
Lin Jiangnian continued to stare quietly at the woman in red in front of him, as if thinking about something.
Liu Su?
Today, when he went to Ruyi Tower, Lin Jiangnian looked through the list of masters from various sects on the first floor, trying to find information about this name.
They did find several disciples named Liu Su, but their identities didn't match. The identity of the woman in red wasn't in Ruyi Tower's intelligence.
Even Ruyi Tower can't find her... Who is she?
So mysterious?
…
"Is there a possibility that the Xuanyang Diagram is not in Prince Lin's Mansion?"
Seeing her frowning and thinking, Lin Jiangnian spoke tentatively.
What if Lin Hengzhong had realized the Xuanyang Heart Method from the Xuanyang Diagram, but did not bring the Xuanyang Diagram back?
"impossible."
The woman in red shook her head and said, "Lin Hengzhong built the Ruyi Tower and collected countless treasures he had plundered from all over the world over the years... Do you think he would let go of the Xuanyang Map?"
Lin Jiangnian seemed to be thinking about something, and it made sense.
For someone with a collecting habit, it is naturally unlikely that he would let go of such an important treasure.
"The Xuanyang Map must be inside Prince Lin's Mansion!"
The woman in red spoke in a decisive tone.
“But I can’t find it either!”
Lin Jiangnian sighed, "Perhaps the only person who has actually seen the Xuanyang Diagram is Lin Hengzhong. If I want to know its whereabouts, I'm afraid I can only ask him, but..."
He didn't continue, but the woman in red knew what Lin Jiangnian meant.
She frowned and was silent for a long time, then seemed to think of something: "No, there is another person..."
"She might know the whereabouts of the Xuanyang Map!"
Lin Jiangnian met her eyes and seemed to be thinking of someone: "Are you talking about...the kite?!"
"Yes, it's her!"
The red-clothed woman's eyes shone with a hint of heat. "She holds a very high position in Prince Lin's Mansion and is deeply trusted by Lin Hengzhong... She can freely enter and exit Ruyi Tower, so she can also freely browse the Xuanyang Heart Technique. If Lin Hengzhong can even hand over such an important item to her, then..."
"The Xuan Yang Diagram is also very likely!"
The woman in red stared at Lin Jiangnian with a burning gaze: "You must find a way to get close to Zhiyuan and find out the whereabouts of the Xuanyang Map from her!"
Approaching the kite?
Lin Jiangnian looked stunned.
"Will this work?"
"Why not?"
The red-dressed woman narrowed her eyes. "She is your maid now. You can try to find out the whereabouts of the Xuanyang Diagram indirectly without arousing her suspicion."
Lin Jiangnian thought about it and it seemed to make sense: "Okay, I'll try my best!"
Approaching the kite?
This is indeed a bit troublesome.
Lin Jiangnian thought about what happened last night and how he hadn't seen Zhiyuan the whole day.
It seems that he is still angry?
It was rare to see her angry, and Lin Jiangnian found it quite interesting.
"You must pay close attention and find the Xuanyang Diagram as soon as possible..."
The woman in red stared at Lin Jiangnian with a burning gaze and added, "Also, you must not let anyone else know your purpose. This matter must be kept secret!"
"Don't worry, I will do what I promised you."
Lin Jiang made a firm promise, but he had other plans in mind.
How could Lin Jiangnian not be curious about the Xuanyang Diagram that made her so interested?
The woman in red nodded in satisfaction and was about to get up and leave.
"etc……"
Lin Jiangnian stopped her again: "I also have something that I would like to ask you for help."
"You need my help?"
The woman in red was a little surprised. Lin Jiangnian actually asked her for help?
Is this...ordering her around?
She narrowed her eyes and asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"
"Do you still remember Lin Kong?"
Lin Jiang mentioned this person.
The woman in red naturally remembered Lin Kong's identity, which she had told Lin Jiangnian before.
Prince Lin, commander of the personal army!
"A few days ago, I was attacked in Yingfeng Garden. I was assassinated and almost lost my life. That guy was a traitor..."
Lin Jiangnian had a blank expression on his face: "He is still staying in Prince Lin's Mansion. I feel uneasy..."
"so what?"
The woman in red raised her eyebrows: "You want me to help you kill him?"
"That's not the case. Killing him is easy, but it will easily alert the enemy!"
Lin Jiangnian shook his head slightly: "I need you to help me check his background..."
The woman in red was stunned, then looked at Lin Jiangnian, only to find that his face was calm, but there seemed to be a hint of coldness in his eyes.
It seems like he is calculating something.
She seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
"Okay, I'll help you with this!"
She also wanted to see what Lin Jiangnian's plan was.
“…”
Lin Jiangnian was still sitting at the table, watching the woman in red leave the room with ease and disappear into the night.
...There are so many experts in the Lin Palace, how on earth did she get in and out so freely?!
After the woman in red left, Lin Jiangnian's eyes gradually became deep again, and the expression on his face became colder and colder.
Lin Kong is a hidden danger!
Why did he do that?
Who is behind this?
Lin Jiangnian is a vengeful person. He almost harmed him last time, so of course he wants to take revenge!
No matter what Lin Kong’s purpose is, he will have to find a way to eliminate this hidden danger sooner or later!
