The day after the engagement banquet, Yuan Lin visited Jiulong Mansion again.
Everyone in Jiulong Mansion was very puzzled by his arrival.
"What is this person planning? Why is he running towards us again and again?"
In the hall, Gongsun touched his chin, puzzled.
The rest of the people also shook their heads slightly.
Only Xuan Xi said: "I heard from the emperor that he was on a mission to our court this time. In addition to representing Jie Li to negotiate peace, he seemed to have another mission, but it's not clear what the mission was. "
"The Barbarian Kingdom has been in conflict with our dynasty all year round, and isn't Jieli Khan the one who controlled Liu Chong and the others in the case of the Ghost Army Order? For such a king, I really don't think he would come to negotiate peace with us?"
Wu Dongtian thought for a while and said.
Chen Yutian suddenly smiled.
"I have heard a little bit about this matter. I heard that Jieli Khan is now very old, and his control over the entire barbarian kingdom is not as strong as before. In addition, although he has two princes under his knees, neither of them is worthy of the throne. There is no guarantee that the throne will not fall into the hands of other interested people in the future. In addition, our dynasty now has a divine general named Xuan Lingcang. This person is knowledgeable in the art of war and knows military principles. In just three years since he arrived at the border, he has made the barbarian army frightened and heard every battle. , the barbarian country will lose many soldiers."
After hearing this, Wu Dongtian suddenly nodded.
"So, they were frightened by us... so they came to seek peace?"
"This is only part of the reason. The most important thing is that now that he is old and may die soon, he should want to help his two princes secure their positions before he dies. After all, the situation in the barbarian country is... It’s different from us.”
Chen Yutian nodded slightly, then looked at Xuan Xi.
"You just said that Yuan Lin has other tasks in the Central Plains besides negotiating peace. It seems that his coming here must be related to this task, but I don't know what he wants to do?"
"It's impossible to guess this kind of thing. We can only know it by meeting others."
Xue Tianhan touched his chin and said.
Chen Yutian nodded, and then looked outside the hall, where Li Qing was walking towards with Yuan Lin.
When Xuan Ye left yesterday, he gave all the elite Dragon Guards led by Li Qing and Meng Gang to Chen Yutian as gifts. Now they have completely become members of the Jiulong Mansion.
"Yuan Lin, I have met Lord Chen and all the gods."
Yuan Linfang went to the hall and saluted everyone respectfully.
Chen Yutian smiled slightly and waved his hand.
"Your Majesty is very polite. I wonder if your Majesty is here today. What can you say?"
Yuan Lin smiled and said: "Meeting a teacher doesn't count, but I do want to come here to ask for something. But before that, I hope Master Chen can let me meet someone in the house first."
"Oh? Who?" Chen Yutian frowned.
"The flower girl who was responsible for scattering flowers at yesterday's engagement banquet." Yuan Lin said.
Hearing this, the expressions of Lin Dao and Gongsun on the side changed.
Chen Yutian pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"I wonder why your envoy wants to see the flower girl?"
Yuan Lin smiled and said: "To be honest with you, Mr. Chen, when I saw the flower girl in your mansion yesterday, I felt that she was very similar to someone I met in the Man Kingdom. It happened that that person left the Man Kingdom and came here not long ago. Zhongyuan, so I want to see the flower girl and confirm whether it is the person I know."
"That's it." Chen Yutian nodded slightly.
Then, he winked at Li Qing who was standing by.
Li Qing understood and immediately left the hall.
"Please wait a moment, sir. I have sent someone to invite the flower girl."
Li Qing went out for only a moment before he came back with a young woman. There was a hint of calmness in this woman's expression. She was Wu Linling who had been rescued from Fengxue Villa.
Yuan Lin immediately became excited when he saw Wu Linling.
"Ninth Princess...I finally found you..."
"Nine...nine princesses?"
Everyone present could not help but be shocked when they heard Yuan Lin calling Wu Linling!
"Ninth Princess, she is actually Jie Li's daughter?"
A flash of surprise flashed in Chen Yutian's eyes, even though he had already made some guesses and thought of the fact that Wu Linling should be from the Barbarian country.
However, she never thought that Wu Linling would be the royal family of the Man Kingdom, and even the ninth princess of the Man Kingdom.
This is really shocking!
What is even more bizarre is that how could the ninth princess of the Barbarian Kingdom come to the martial arts world of the Central Plains?
Wu Linling was stunned for a moment when she heard the title of Ninth Princess, but when she saw clearly the face of the old man kneeling in front of her, she couldn't help but be surprised.
"Taigong, why are you here?"
Her words were tantamount to admitting her identity as the ninth princess of the Barbarian Kingdom.
"Ninth Princess, I came to Daxuan to negotiate peace on the orders of the Khan. In addition, the Great Khan also seems to have entrusted Master Chen to help investigate the matter of Concubine Ling."
Yuan Lin spoke slowly.
"Investigating the matter of mother and concubine? Father?"
Wu Linling's face was full of disbelief.
Yuan Lin smiled bitterly. Although he had expected this, the look on the Ninth Princess's face still surprised him.
"He can't wait to put his mother and concubine to death, so why would he come to Daxuan to entrust an investigation?"
Wu Linling suddenly sneered.
Yuan Lin smiled bitterly, "The Ninth Princess misunderstood... The Great Khan has never believed that Concubine Ling would kill anyone. The reason why he made such a decision was an expedient measure."
Wu Linling remained silent.
The people in Jiulong Mansion on the side were even more confused and had no idea what they were talking about.
Chen Yutian had to interrupt them.
"Boy, I wonder what exactly you are talking about? Can you tell me?"
Yuan Lin nodded.
"This is natural. After all, the Great Khan wants to entrust you to help investigate this matter. I should tell you the whole story."
After saying that, he looked at Wu Linling beside him.
Wu Linling sighed.
"Tell me...anyway, even if you didn't come over, I would have told them what happened to help. It's just that you were one step ahead of me."
Yuan Lin smiled and nodded, then looked at everyone in Jiulong Mansion.
"Everyone, this matter started a few months ago..."
"You must have heard about the two princes of our country, right?"
Everyone nodded, they had mentioned this matter just now.
Yuan Lin sighed, "The whole thing starts with these two princes..."
"The Great Khan is old. Although he has many children, there are only two princes... Although the two princes are not very talented, the Great Khan does not care much, but actively prepares for the passing of the throne. Originally, the Great Khan did not care much about the two princes. , all the civil and military officials in the dynasty thought that the Great Khan would pass the throne to one of the two princes soon... Until that day, the sad news of the sudden death of the two princes suddenly came..."
Hearing this, everyone in Jiulong Mansion couldn't help but change their expressions.
"Death suddenly?" Xue Tianhan frowned.
"Or two people at the same time?" Gongsun was curious.
"Yes. On that day, within an hour, two bad news came in succession. The always iron-blooded Khan, which is extremely rare, passed out in the Langchen Palace..."
Yuan Lin's eyes flashed with memories.
It seemed like I was back in those gray days again.
"Is it possible that two people died suddenly at the same time within an hour?"
Chen Yutian touched his chin and looked at Gongsun subconsciously.
Gongsun shook his head.
"Excluding human causes, this is almost impossible to happen. Even if they all suffer from the same terminal illness, the possibility of dying at the same time is very slim."
"So the two princes most likely did not die of natural causes?" Huo Yuanji pondered.
Gongsun nodded slightly.
Wu Linling suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Gongsun is right. My two royal brothers did not die of natural causes."
"Since it is not a natural death, it is naturally a man-made killing. All you need to do is catch the murderer. Why do you come all the way to Daxuan to seek our help?"
Xuan Xi is curious.
"It would be great if things were really that simple." Yuan Lin suddenly sighed.
Everyone's eyes turned to him involuntarily.
But Wu Linling also sighed at this time.
"Taigong is right. If things were really that simple, then there wouldn't be so many things happening later."
Chen Yutian frowned subconsciously.
"What do you two mean by this?"
Wu Linling smiled bitterly.
"Although my two royal brothers did not die of natural causes, they did not die of man-made causes either."
"oh?"
"They..." Wu Linling's expression suddenly became serious, "Strictly speaking, they all died in accidents."
