Volume 1, Chapter 126: Conversation in the secret room, Feng He is confirmed as the fourth prince.
After walking down dozens of steps, the three of them arrived at a huge space.
Lin An lit the oil lamp.
In the bright light, the image of this place hidden in the darkness appeared in front of Ye Tingmu.
This is a stone chamber, about thirty square meters in size.
There are bookshelves on the surrounding walls, but there are no books on them.
As for the center, there were several futons and a large wooden table.
At the front of the stone wall, there is a majestic suit of armor.
I think this armor is the one that Lin Xu wore when he was working in the imperial city.
While Ye Tingmu was daydreaming, Lin An blew out the fire in his hand.
Then he just sat on one of the cushions.
Ye Tingmu also sat down.
He was now extremely curious about what Lin An was up to.
Make it so mysterious.
Lin An's face looked a little gloomy, completely different from when he was outside the house.
He said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, there are so many people outside, and some things are not convenient to explain to you in detail. I can only ask you to go into this dark place."
Ye Tingmu raised his eyebrows. Does Lin An really know the inside story?
Said: "It's okay, I think this place is pretty good."
Lin An chuckled, a smile on his lips, but his tone was a little helpless.
"Then I will not keep you in suspense. I wonder if Brother Ye's visit this time is due to the news that the current emperor gave birth to a fourth son of the royal family?"
Feng He was confused when he said this, because Ye Tingmu had not told him about this.
Ye Tingmu's heart tightened.
The first time they met, he actually knew her purpose. Could it be that
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that Dongfang Shuo knew something, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that he gave him an address, and then this person actually knew his intention.
Seeing Ye Tingmu's face changing from gloomy to bright.
Lin An smiled and continued, "Mr. Ye, there's no need to be surprised. Your surname is Ye, and I was present at the incident at the city gate yesterday, but Mr. Ye didn't notice. Considering your brother's age this year and the Third Prince's reaction yesterday, and the fact that I know something about my father, and that you two are visiting my father today, I can naturally deduce this. It's not surprising."
Ye Tingmu nodded slightly.
He couldn't help but look up to Lin An. This man was definitely not an ordinary young master from a noble family. His meticulous mind was extraordinary.
"Mr. Lin is extremely intelligent. Since you know my intentions and asked me to come here, I think my guess is correct."
"I'm not Mr. Ye, so I naturally don't know what Mr. Ye is thinking. However, there are some things that I can convey to Mr. Ye even though my father is not here."
Ye Tingmu turned his head and looked at Feng He.
He whispered, "Second brother, go and guard outside."
Feng He was stunned at first, then nodded.
He couldn't understand what his elder brother was saying to the young man.
Besides, his elder brother asked him to guard the place, so of course he had his reasons.
So he headed towards the entrance.
After Feng He left.
In the empty underground space, only the sound of Feng He's receding footsteps echoed.
Ye Tingmu didn't want to play dumb anymore and went straight to the point, asking, "Excuse me, Master Lin, is my second brother, Feng He, the fourth son of the current Jiuzhou Emperor?"
Lin An said, "Whether it is true or not, I don't know. However, fifteen years ago, I do remember my father returning from Kyushu with a baby in his arms. At that time, I thought it was my younger brother. I saw the baby once. Although I was very young at the time, I clearly remember that there was a birthmark on the sole of the baby's foot. It was in the shape of a knife."
Ye Tingmu's expression was shocked, and his brain seemed to be roaring at this moment.
Buzzing.
There is a birthmark on Feng He's right foot, and it is also a knife mark.
When he saw this birthmark, he told Feng He that his birthmark was extraordinary and that it was obvious that he was the reincarnation of the God of Swords and that he would become a great man in the future.
It was because of this that Feng He chose this sword from among thousands of weapons and has been wielding it until now.
Lin An was very smart. Seeing Ye Tingmu's reaction, he had already guessed it. It seemed that the young man was the child his father brought back home that year.
Ye Tingmu thought for a moment and continued to ask: "Then do you know where the child went?"
Lin An shook his head.
"I don't know." Then he continued, "But five years ago, I heard my father talking to someone in the study, and I vaguely heard three words."
Ye Tingmu frowned.
"Which three words?"
Lin An took a deep breath, stared into Ye Tingmu's eyes, and said word by word: "Ye... Family... Village."
After hearing this, Ye Tingmu felt relieved.
It seems that everything is clear. Feng He is the fourth son, and Lin Xu is the one who took Feng He away from the palace.
According to Lin An, his father mentioned Yejia Village to others five years ago, and Yejia Village was massacred five years ago.
There must be a connection between them.
He was silent for a long time before he asked, "May I ask, Master Lin An, who was the person who was talking to your father at that time?"
He wanted to confirm whether the person who massacred Yejia Village was the current third prince.
Lin An shook his head.
“I have never seen this person’s face clearly.”
Hearing the other party say this, Ye Tingmu was a little disappointed, but he did not show it.
Now that I know Feng He's background, I have a better idea in my mind.
As for who is behind the scenes, I think it should not be difficult to find out.
Just as I thought at the time.
There are only a few people involved in the royal power struggle.
He gave Lin An a scholar's salute.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for telling me this. I am very grateful."
Lin An returned his greeting.
In the candlelight, one could see a hint of melancholy and viciousness on his face.
He whispered, "To be honest, the reason why I told Mr. Ye about this was also because of my own selfish motives."
Seeing this, Ye Tingmu couldn't help but wonder.
"Why do you say that, Master Lin?"
Facing Ye Tingmu's question, Lin An sighed lightly, his voice sounding extremely sad.
He reached into his arms and took out a small and exquisite lamp.
Place on the table.
"Mr. Ye is very knowledgeable. I wonder if you can recognize this object?"
Ye Tingmu had a confused look on his face as he swept his eyes over the object.
Of course he couldn't recognize it, but looking at this thing, it should not be an ordinary thing. Could it be related to Feng He's matter?
He shook his head blankly.
"Don't be embarrassed, I really can't recognize you."
A hint of surprise flashed across Lin An's eyes.
There are very few people who practice cultivation who don’t know this thing. It’s a bit surprising that Ye Tingmu couldn’t recognize it. However, judging from his reaction, he didn’t seem to be lying. It seemed that he really couldn’t recognize it.
So he said: "This thing is called the Life Cup."
"Life cup...?"
"Yes. When one cultivates to the realm of true essence, one can place a strand of true essence into this lamp. This lamp will then remain bright forever. As long as the person is alive, the lamp will not go out. This lamp is my father's life lamp."
Ye Tingmu was startled, looking at the darkness inside the lamp.
"Could it be that your father............"
Lin An nodded, and the melancholy on his face became somewhat painful and distorted at this moment.
"Yes, the lamp of life went out last night. My father is dead."
