Chapter 3191 - 3166: Zhonghehou! Princely Heir!

Chapter 3191: Chapter 3166: Zhonghehou! Princely Heir!

Chu Jiangliu whispered to Lin Bai: "Sword Prince, Zhonghehou was right, this place is a vital area of the Shenwu Kingdom. Zhonghehou’s Mansion commands millions of soldiers; even if Wu He has the courage of a bear and the heart of a leopard, he wouldn’t dare to cause trouble at Zhonghehou’s Mansion!"

"Now we need to figure out where exactly in the Zhonghe Territory Wu He is hiding?"

"What do they want to do?"

Chu Jiangliu whispered.

Lin Bai stood on the Spirit Boat, looking at the city of Zhonghehou’s Mansion, his expression calm.

Then, Lin Bai turned his head to look at the lands of the Zhonghe Territory and said lightly: "If I had twenty to thirty thousand soldiers and I entered the Zhonghe Territory, what would I do?"

Lin Bai murmured to himself.

Immediately, Lin Bai asked: "Zhonghehou, has there been any significant supplies from the Shenwu Kingdom recently sent to the Zhonghe Territory?"

Zhonghehou shook his head and said: "Even though the frontier has fallen, the Imperial Sky Army and the Imperial Dragon Army have already gone to the frontier, so reclaiming the lost ground is not too difficult. Earlier supplies have already been sent over, and so far, there has been no news from the Shenwu Kingdom about sending any supplies!"

Lin Bai frowned again and whispered: "So what exactly does Wu He want?"

Zhonghehou saw Lin Bai in deep thought and immediately said: "Sword Prince, Prince Chu, why don’t we enter the city and rest for a while, and discuss slowly? I will have people prepare some wine and food to welcome you!"

Chu Jiangliu hadn’t replied yet; he looked at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai was about to agree, but at that moment, he saw a military Spirit Boat flying out from Zhonghehou’s Mansion, slowly coming behind Zhonghehou.

On that military Spirit Boat stood a dozen young men and women, smiling and looking at Zhonghehou.

Lin Bai asked: "Who are these people? Are they soldiers of Zhonghehou’s Mansion?"

Zhonghehou was startled, turned around, and his face turned pale at once. He immediately cupped his hands towards Lin Bai and Chu Jiangliu, saying in fear: "Sword Prince, calm your anger; Prince Chu, calm your anger; these people are not soldiers of Zhonghehou’s Mansion, they are... they are..."

Chu Jiangliu said coldly: "Who are they? Speak!"

Zhonghehou had a look of being unable to speak.

A young man on the Spirit Boat, seeing Zhonghehou now flustered, immediately flew forward and cupped his hands, saying: "Greetings to Prince Chu, I am the legitimate son of Zhonghehou, named Zhao Xing! The warriors on the Spirit Boat are all my friends."

After hearing Zhao Xing’s words, Chu Jiangliu looked at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai chuckled lightly: "Zhonghehou, since he is your legitimate son, why were you so unwilling to reveal their identity just now?"

Zhonghehou smiled bitterly and said: "Sword Prince, they are not soldiers of Zhonghehou’s Mansion, technically they shouldn’t have the right to use a military Spirit Boat, but... but lately, Wu He has stirred fear within the Shenwu Kingdom, so for my son’s safety, I specifically prepared a military Spirit Boat to send them away!"

Chu Jiangliu nodded and said: "Sword Prince, he speaks the truth; misusing a military Spirit Boat for private purposes is a major taboo for the military of the Shenwu Kingdom!"

Lin Bai looked at Zhao Xing and the others, asking: "Where are you heading?"

Zhao Xing replied: "To the Imperial Palace!"

Lin Bai was taken aback, looking at Zhao Xing.

Zhonghehou hurriedly said at this moment: "Sword Prince, my son recently passed the exam at the Imperial Palace and became a disciple. Now he has just returned to the Zhonghe Territory for some time to rest, having invited a few friends over, and is about to return to the Imperial Palace, hence I used the military Spirit Boat to send them off!"

Lin Bai’s eyes flashed with brightness as he asked: "How long have they been back in the Zhonghe Territory?"

Zhonghehou thought carefully and said: "More than half a month!"

"Hehe!" Lin Bai heard Zhonghehou’s answer and immediately let out a cold laugh: "Since the Lord Marquis is so concerned about your son’s safety, then let me escort them!"

As he spoke, Lin Bai stepped forward to Zhao Xing’s side, saying: "Let’s go, aren’t you going back to the Imperial Palace? I’ll see you off!"

Zhao Xing was taken aback and looked at Zhonghehou.

Zhonghehou spoke up: "Sword Prince, this..."

Lin Bai said: "Don’t worry, Zhonghehou, I have no ill intentions towards them; it’s purely out of goodwill that I want to escort them!"

"Chu Jiangliu, you can wait for me at Zhonghehou’s Mansion!"

"I will also take a look at the scenery of the Zhonghe Territory, I’ll be back soon!"

Chu Jiangliu laughed: "Since Sword Prince has such leisure, I’ll send soldiers to accompany you!"

Lin Bai shook his head and said: "No need, you can just wait here, I’ll return immediately once I’ve escorted them out of the Zhonghe Territory!"

Chu Jiangliu nodded slightly and said: "Then take care, Sword Prince!"

Zhonghehou also said: "Thank you, Sword Prince!"

"Let’s go!" Said Lin Bai standing on the Spirit Boat, smiling.

Zhao Xing was taken aback, ordered the Spirit Boat to move in unison, flying out of Zhonghehou’s Mansion.

The Spirit Boat sped along, heading straight to the border of the Zhonghe Territory.

On the Spirit Boat, Zhao Xing and his friends from the Imperial Palace stood aside, their eyes flashing as they looked at Lin Bai, whispering to each other.

And Lin Bai stood at the edge of the Spirit Boat, looking at the scenery of the Zhonghe Territory.

"Zhao Xing, your father and Prince Chu actually call him Sword Prince?"

"Who exactly is he? We’ve never heard of him in the Shenwu Kingdom!"

"Yes, Prince Chu is the most powerful Military King within the Shenwu Kingdom, and even he is so respectful to this Sword Prince, it’s truly amazing!"

Zhao Xing and several of his friends whispered to each other.

They are disciples of the Imperial Palace, and regarding Shenwu Kingdom’s strength, they only know about Prince Chu, the Military King.

Because Lin Bai rarely appears in the Shenwu Kingdom, apart from the strong ones in the Shenwu Kingdom’s military, very few know Lin Bai’s identity.

Zhao Xing whispered: "I’m also puzzled why my father shows him such respect!"

After a bit of whispered discussion, Zhao Xing led the group, approaching Lin Bai, and cupped his hands saying: "Sword Prince!"

Lin Bai turned around and looked at Zhao Xing and the others, smiling: "No need to be nervous, I have no ill intent towards you!"

Zhao Xing smiled and said: "May I ask... Sword Prince, your esteemed name?"

"Me? My name?" Lin Bai was taken aback, laughed, and said: "I am called Lin Bai!"

Crack!

Simply saying "I am called Lin Bai" those few words from Lin Bai delivered an unprecedented impact to Zhao Xing and the others.

Like Five Thunders Striking, crashing onto their heads.

Zhao Xing and his friends watched Lin Bai in shock, repeatedly exclaiming: "You you you you... you you you you... you are... you are the former Saint of the East Continent, the first Tianjiao of the East Continent, the foremost Sword Cultivator among the young generation, Lin Bai!"

Lin Bai heard their astonishment and thus smiled: "Didn’t expect someone still remembers me, I thought all the young Martial Artists of the East Continent only knew the current Saint, Wu He!"
