Beauty and the Bodyguard

The man in the black hat called Zheng Dongsheng over. At best it was an invitation, at worst it was a summons. It was an order from the master to his servant, and there was no room for resistance or rejection.

Zheng Dongsheng's whole body was shaken. He really didn't dare to let the man in the black hat come to him in person. He was not seeking death, and would probably be worse than death. Now his only hope was Lin Yi. If Lin Yi could force him to stay, he would be able to stay. There could be a good excuse.

Lin Yi pretended not to see Zheng Dongsheng's pitiful look for help. He was too lazy to block the gun for such a duplicitous person. If Zheng Dongsheng could defect to him wholeheartedly, then he would be worthy of his protection.

"Elder Zheng, since I sincerely invite you to come over, you might as well go and take a look. Maybe there is something important. I will wait for you where you live." Lin Yi smiled lightly, not that he wanted to get rid of Zheng Dongsheng, but after the assassination incident, the people in the center probably would not easily deal with Zheng Dongsheng.

After the meeting, the center took action directly. No one in the spirit beast clan would say anything. However, when the assassin incident occurred, the situation was completely different. If the people in the center deal with Zheng Dongsheng now, the four elders of the cabinet will accuse the center at the same time, and the assassin will be killed. It can also be regarded as the center of the road.

It doesn't matter what the truth is. As long as the person who takes the blame can be found, I believe the four elders will be happy, even if the other party is the center of their allies.

"Master Lin, why don't you come with me?" Zheng Dongsheng also understood this in his heart, but without Lin Yi by his side, he still felt uneasy.

"I'm sorry, I still have some things to deal with. You can go there by yourself. Don't worry, the people in the center won't do anything to you, otherwise their cooperation with the spirit beast clan will break down." Lin Yi smiled and patted him. Zheng Dongsheng's shoulder, the last half of the sentence was said in a very small voice, which at least gave Zheng Dongsheng a little confidence.

Zheng Dongsheng nodded with a grimace. He didn't dare to offend the center now, and he also didn't dare to offend Lin Yi. Since Lin Yi made it clear that he would not go with him, it would be meaningless to say anything more.

After Zheng Dongsheng left with the spirit beast guards, Lin Yi had a sudden idea and turned to the guards following him: "Can I leave the palace and go to the royal city for a walk?"

"Okay, but we must bring more people to protect you to avoid another assassination incident." Several spirit beast guards looked at each other, and they didn't know if Suzaku and the others had explained it before. The leader almost didn't hesitate and just said Agree to Lin Yi's request.

"How can I have fun walking around if you follow me?" Lin Yi curled his lips and shook his head to give up the idea. He was going to find the forbidden area where the Void Spirit Chain was, and he was accompanied by a group of masters of the spirit beast clan. What should he do?

Since the people of the spirit beast clan did not have much resistance to letting him leave the palace, Lin Yi felt that it would be okay to wait a few days for the assassination incident to subside before going out alone. If he could find a few more forbidden areas where the Void Essence Chain was suspected to be, he could go there all at once. It would be better if the exploration is completed.

There was nothing to say to these spirit beast guards. Lin Yi quickened his pace and returned to the side hall. Li Zaoyi was still refining elixirs. What surprised him was that Xiao Yi was also here. No one greeted him, but he was drinking happily. Tea.

"Your Highness, why are you here?" Lin Yi looked at Xiao Yi in surprise, wondering why he came here in person.

If something happened, they should send someone over to invite Lin Yi. They didn't know what Suzaku and the others would think if they came alone like this.

"Lin Yi, come over and sit down quickly. I have some things to discuss with you, so I'm sorry for coming here." Xiao Yi smiled and waved to Lin Yi, which seemed to be a guest.

However, Lin Yi could feel that Xiao Yi's attitude towards him was getting better and better, which should be attributed to Lan Guza. He didn't know how this guy told Xiao Yi, but it seemed to have a good effect.

"Your Highness has something to do, but please give me your instructions. As long as it is within my ability, I will not refuse." Lin Yi sat down, smiling and patting his chest.

Anyway, he said he would do what he could. If he couldn't do it, Xiao Yi would be embarrassed to blame Lin Yi.

"Zhengyi! I will definitely ask you for help if I have something to do in the future, but not today. Today I really just want to discuss something with you." Xiao Yi clapped his hands and laughed, as if Lin Yi was willing to cooperate, which was a great honor.

"Your Highness, didn't Lan Guza come with you?" Lin Yi picked up the teapot, filled some water into Xiao Yi's tea cup, and asked Lan Guza casually.

"No, I came alone this time. I didn't bring anyone with me." Xiao Yi put away his smile and looked at the surrounding situation with some solemnity: "I have used tools to prevent spiritual prying eyes. What we are talking about now, No one else will hear it.”

"Your Highness is so solemn, it seems to be a very important matter! I am all ears!" Lin Yi was a little surprised, put down the kettle and listened intently to Xiao Yi's words.

"I thought carefully about what you said to Lan Guza, and then arranged for my men to investigate and collect information. I found that there have been problems with some sea beasts in recent years. Some have disappeared directly, and some seem to have had a small part of their flesh and blood meridians taken away. , but there is not much hindrance, so I did not make any announcement. These are all the information obtained from my accompanying members. To be specific, it is estimated to be many times larger than the current data." Xiao Yi did not say the meaning behind the data. , everyone is a sensible person and knows exactly what they are talking about.

"So what are you going to do, His Highness? Are you going to fall out with him?" Lin Yi asked calmly. Although Xiao Yi was protected by two sea-splitting masters, with this strength, he wanted to fall out with the spirit beast clan. Not enough to watch at all.

"No, I don't have enough strength now. I have to endure it for a while and wait until the reinforcements from our clan arrive." Xiao Yi waved his hands and said with a confident look: "Before the reinforcements arrive, I need to collect more information. Intelligence, this time I am taking the liberty to visit, I just want to discuss it with you and help me collect information, I wonder if you can help?"

Lin Yi was slightly startled. He was a little surprised by Xiao Yi's straight-to-the-point statement.

"When His Highness opens his mouth, I naturally want to help, but His Highness doesn't know something. Li Zaoyi and I are actually the alchemy machines of the spirit beast clan. We usually have no power to move freely. There are so many masters of the spirit beast clan outside the door, but They were not sent to protect us." Lin Yi spread his hands and made no secret of his situation.

In fact, there is no need for him to tell, Xiao Yi should also know. After all, this is not a secret. As one of the allies of the spirit beast clan, it is estimated that Qinglong will not hide these things.
