Chapter 72 Eliminating Hidden Dangers
Night falls.
Lin Jiangnian just walked out of Ruyi Building and sighed softly.
I went to Ruyi Tower today but could not find the Xuanyang Picture, nor could I solve the doubts in my mind. The old man in the building did not seem to know anything about Xuanyang Tu.
Could it be that we really can only attack Lin Wang?
He is the only person who practices the Xuanyang Mind Technique, so he is most likely aware of the existence of the Xuanyang Diagram.
only……
Lin Jiangnian felt vaguely uneasy.
If the Xuanyang Picture was really in Lin Hengzhong's possession, how could he get it?
More importantly, Lin Jiangnian's identity...
Now that he has first gained a foothold in Prince Lin's Mansion, the crisis in front of him is still not resolved.
Lin Hengzhong!
Prince Lin’s biological father!
How could he not understand his son?
When Lin Jiangnian faced him, could he really not reveal his flaws?
He couldn't guarantee it.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Jiangnian quickly calmed down.
What should come will come sooner or later, and all he can do is be fully prepared. Even if the worst outcome occurs, it will not be completely uncontrollable.
At least for now, Lin Jiangnian is safe.
and……
Lin Jiangnian glanced back at the attic behind him.
That old man Li in the building... is strange and not simple!
During today's conversation, Lin Jiangnian felt this more and more. This frail old man's attainments in martial arts are not low. Although he does not know martial arts, he was able to point out some of Lin Jiangnian's practice mistakes in the previous brief exchange.
Come to think of it, a master who can be a paper kite is certainly not an ordinary person.
At present, Lin Jiangnian has not started to learn any martial arts. Perhaps, this senior Li is a good candidate?
…
"Your Highness!"
When Lin Jiangnian stepped out of Sun Moon Lake, there was already a maid waiting by the lake for a long time.
"Dinner has been prepared. Are you hungry, Your Highness? Do you want to eat now?"
Lin Jiangnian nodded slightly, and under the leadership of the maid, left the lake and returned to the mansion.
However, when passing a courtyard, Lin Jiangnian stopped again, raised his eyes to look at the courtyard, and said nothing.
The maid leading the way stopped when she saw His Highness, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
"Whose residence is this?"
Lin Jiangnian asked calmly.
The maid raised her eyes and glanced, suddenly a little frightened, lowered her head and said cautiously: "Go back to Your Highness, this is...the residence of His Highness's former personal army commander Lin Konglin..."
She had naturally heard that Lord Lin Kong, the commander of the pro-military forces, had offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a few days ago and was removed from his position and given a hundred punishments with a cane. He is currently lying at home recovering from his injuries...
I don’t know where I offended His Highness. Now His Highness mentioned it again. Could it be...
"Your Highness, do you want to go see Master Lin Kong?"
"No need!"
Lin Jiangnian looked away from the yard calmly and said calmly: "Let's go."
"..."
night.
In the silent room.
The oil lamp on the table swayed, reflecting the two figures on the ground.
"No?"
At the table, the woman in red furrowed her pretty eyebrows, her expression was serious and suspicious: "Shouldn't it be?"
"Have you looked carefully?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at her face quietly and nodded: "I have already searched today, and the Xuanyang Diagram was indeed not found in Ruyi Building... Could it be that your information is wrong?"
"If something as important as Xuanyang Diagram is not in Ruyi Tower, where should it be?"
The woman in red looked increasingly puzzled.
"That's not clear..."
Lin Jiangnian spread his hands: "No one knows what the Xuanyang Diagram is. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Is there a problem if you can find it?"
The woman in red was silent.
Indeed, he was right.
Even she herself didn't know what Xuanyang Diagram was, so how could she find it so easily?
Thinking of this, she frowned and fell into deep thought.
Lin Jiangnian was still watching the woman in red quietly, thoughtfully.
Liu Su?
Going to Ruyi Building today, Lin Jiangnian looked through the lists of masters from various sects on the first floor, trying to find information about this name.
We did find a few disciples named Liu Su, but the identity information didn't match up. The identity of the woman in red in front of her was not included in Ruyilou's intelligence.
Someone who can't even be found in Ruyi Tower... Who is she?
So mysterious?
…
"Is there a possibility that Xuanyang Tu may not be in Prince Lin's Mansion?"
Seeing her frowning and thinking, Lin Jiangnian tentatively spoke.
What if Lin Hengzhong understood the Xuanyang Mind Method from the Xuanyang Diagram, but did not bring the Xuanyang Diagram back?
"impossible."
But the woman in red shook her head and said: "Lin Heng rebuilt the Ruyi Tower and collected countless treasures he had collected from all over the world over the years... Do you think he would let Xuanyang Tu go?"
Lin Jiangnian was thoughtful, and it made sense.
For a person with a collecting habit, it is naturally impossible to let go of such an important treasure.
"The Xuanyang Picture must be in Prince Lin's Mansion!"
The woman in red spoke decisively.
"But I can't find it either!"
Lin Jiangnian sighed: "Perhaps the only person who has really seen the Xuanyang Map is Lin Hengzhong. If you want to know its whereabouts, I'm afraid you can only ask him, but..."
He did not continue, but the woman in red knew what Lin Jiangnian meant.
She frowned, and after being silent for a long time, she seemed to think of something: "No, there is another person..."
"She may know the whereabouts of Xuanyangtu!"
Lin Jiangnian looked into her eyes, and seemed to think of someone: "You are talking about... Zhiyuan?!"
"Yes, it's her!"
The red-clothed woman's eyes were slightly hot: "She has a very high status in the Linwang Mansion, and is deeply trusted by Lin Hengzhong... She can enter and leave Ruyi Tower freely, so she can also browse Xuanyang Heart Method freely. Such an important thing can be handed over to her by Lin Hengzhong, so..."
"Xuanyangtu is also very likely!"
The red-clothed woman stared at Lin Jiangnian with burning eyes: "You find a way to get close to Zhiyuan and find out the whereabouts of Xuanyangtu from her!"
Get close to Zhiyuan?
Lin Jiangnian was stunned.
"Will this work?"
"Why not?"
The red-clothed woman narrowed her eyes: "She is your maid now, you find a way to find out the whereabouts of Xuanyangtu indirectly, and it will not arouse her suspicion."
Lin Jiangnian thought about it, and it seemed to make sense: "Okay, I'll try my best!"
Get close to Zhiyuan?
This is indeed a bit troublesome
Lin Jiangnian thought about what happened last night, and that he hadn't seen Zhiyuan all day.
It seems that she is still angry?
It's rare to see her angry, so Lin Jiangnian finds it interesting.
"You must pay attention to it and find the Xuanyang Map as soon as possible..."
The woman in red stared at Lin Jiangnian with burning eyes, and said, "Also, you must not let others know your purpose. This matter must be kept secret!"
"Don't worry, I will do what I promised you."
Lin Jiang promised with words, but he had other plans in his mind.
How could Lin Jiangnian not be curious about the Xuanyang Map that made her so concerned?
The woman in red nodded with satisfaction, and was about to get up and leave.
"Wait..."
Lin Jiangnian stopped her again: "I also have something, and I want to ask you for help."
"Ask me for help?"
The woman in red was a little surprised. Lin Jiangnian actually asked her for help?
Is this... to order her?
She narrowed her eyes: "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 that Lin Kong's identity was something she had told Lin Jiangnian before.
Prince of Lin, the commander of the imperial army!
"A few days ago, I was attacked in Yingfeng Garden and almost lost my life. That guy was a traitor..."
Lin Jiangnian had a blank expression: "He is still staying in the Lin Palace, and 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's easy to alert the enemy!"
Lin Jiangnian shook his head gently: "I need you to help me check his background..."
The woman in red was stunned, and then she looked at Lin Jiangnian, but she saw that his face was calm, but there seemed to be a bit of coldness in his eyes.
It seems that he is calculating something.
She seemed to think 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 was planning.
"..."
Lin Jiangnian still sat at the table, watching the woman in red leave the room with ease and disappear into the night.
...There are so many masters in the Lin Wang Mansion, how did she come in and out freely? !
After the woman in red left, Lin Jiangnian's eyes gradually fell into depth 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 it?
Lin Jiangnian is a vengeful person. He almost hurt him last time, so he will take revenge!
No matter what Lin Kong's purpose is, he will find a way to eliminate this hidden danger sooner or later!
