Chapter 712: Terrifying Forbidden Technique
Naturally, Lu Xingwan's investigation into these matters was not as detailed as Pei Chuyan's. Only then did Lu Xingwan realize that Li Cheng did not have any children of his own.
It seems to be normal for the royal family of the Dali Kingdom to be unable to conceive children.
Didn’t King Yixuan and his wife previously seek treatment from Sister Qionghua? But till now, there has been no good news from them.
It is no wonder that Pei Chuyan's identity is so important. After all, he is the only child of their next generation.
Even if Li Cheng did not die, Pei Chuyan would be the only one with royal blood in the next generation. As long as he was willing to return to Dali Kingdom, the throne would easily fall into his hands.
Pei Chuyan hadn't finished his words yet: "Princess, do you still remember the sorcerer who appeared in the Fifth Prince's palace before? I think that maybe they are the same person."
All I can say is that this warlock is an opportunist who only thinks about how to scheme in the royal family.
Lin Mosheng.
Lu Xingwan had originally followed his trail to come to Dali Kingdom. Now that everything matches what Pei Chuyan said, it's likely that Pei Chuyan's guess was not wrong. This Lin Mosheng is probably in Li Cheng's harem now.
For a man to go into someone else's harem is quite...shameless.
Actually it was quite easy to get it.
But she originally thought that Lin Mosheng had only come to this point because of his obsession with spiritual power. But if Li Cheng's idea of sacrificing the baby was his, then this person was truly guilty of a heinous crime.
It is not as simple as just bringing him back to the world of immortal cultivation.
Even if he were to fall into the animal realm, it would not be able to atone for his sins.
What's more, I don't even know whether I was harmed by him when I ascended to heaven.
Seeing that Lu Xingwan was in a trance, Pei Chuyan didn't say much and just waited quietly for the princess.
"How should we deal with the woman outside?" Lu Xingwan suddenly thought of her eldest and fourth senior brothers who were still outside accompanying the woman. She thought that this matter should be made known to her eldest and fourth senior brothers, but it was not convenient with the woman present.
"I have also saved a number of mothers of infants and have already arranged for their placement. If the princess is at ease, please hand them over to me. I will ask Lin Ji to make the arrangements."
"Okay." Lu Xingwan has always had complete trust in Pei Chuyan. "Let Lin Ji go to the back door to find my eldest and fourth senior brothers. They are there with the woman right now."
When he was in Qingyun Palace before, Lin Ji had met his eldest senior brother and fourth senior brother, so they naturally recognized him.
Pei Chuyan left the room and went outside to give instructions. However, within an incense stick of time, Ji Rong and Shang Zhi, led by Lin Ji, came to Pei Chuyan's room.
"Prince Pei."
"Prince Pei."
Ji Rong and Shang Zhi spoke at the same time. They were very happy to see Pei Chuyan.
People can't help but like Pei Chuyan, who is handsome, rich, upright, and knows kung fu.
Most importantly, he always treated them well.
Pei Chuyan naturally stood up and bowed to them politely: "Master Ji, Master Shang."
After some pleasantries, Lu Xingwan turned to look at his eldest senior brother and began to ask questions.
"Brother, I'm afraid that Lin Mosheng was responsible for kidnapping the child."
"Prince Pei has already checked here. I'm afraid they have kidnapped more than one child."
"It is said that Li Cheng is infertile and wants to restore his fertility through this technique." It is natural to say that Li Cheng was wholeheartedly pursuing this.
But if Lin Mosheng shows up, this reason won’t be so credible.
"Brother, do you know of any ancient secrets related to sacrificing children?"
They all agreed that this incident would definitely be beneficial to Lin Mosheng.
Ji Rong can be said to be knowledgeable and has read a lot of poetry books, so when Lu Xingwan mentioned this issue, he began to think about this matter in his mind.
After a long time, a thought came to his mind.
When he was young, he often went in and out of his master's study, where he saw an ancient forbidden book.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Pei Chuyan standing beside him: "Prince Pei, do you know how many children they have taken away now?"
Pei Chuyan knew what Ji Rong was thinking, so he answered his question without hiding anything: "If you count carefully, there should be sixteen."
Sixteen sixteen.
If there really are sixteen of them, plus Lin Mosheng is here, then everything corresponds to the forbidden techniques in the forbidden book.
"Sixteen babies, but are they all boys?"
After hearing what Ji Rong said, Pei Chuyan knew what he was thinking and nodded vigorously.
"My people didn't see the genders of the children one by one, but after investigation, we found that the families whose children were missing were all boys."
After hearing what Pei Chuyan said, Ji Rong stood up and walked to the window. Looking at the busy street outside the window, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"I didn't expect Lin Mosheng to be able to do this."
"This is indeed an ancient forbidden technique."
"Gathering these sixteen babies..." Ji Rong thought of the cruelty involved and couldn't bear to say any more.
"Lin Mosheng has already started to go astray in order to ascend to heaven."
Perhaps from the very beginning, when he attacked his master and fled from the world of immortal cultivation, he had already started to go astray, and now it has only made him even crazier.
As if he understood Ji Rong's worries, Pei Chuyan hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, sir. My people have already strictly monitored the place where the child is hidden, and are preparing to expose Li Cheng's ugly crimes during the sacrifice."
Lu Xingwan nodded, and everyone had their own preparations.
Pei Chuyan thought that this matter was initiated by Li Cheng, so naturally, the person he had to deal with was also Li Cheng.
But Lu Xingwan knew that since the person behind the scenes was Lin Mosheng, who was an immortal cultivator after all, they had to deal with him.
Thinking of this, she stood up, walked to the side of the eldest senior brother, reached out and pulled his sleeve, indicating that he didn't need to be anxious.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother. Since we have come here, Lin Mosheng will definitely not have any chance to take advantage of us."
Ji Rong nodded, but didn't say much.
He was thinking differently from what Lu Xingwan said. Instead, he was thinking about what was happening in the Longyin Sect right now.
Speaking of which, Ji Rong felt more emotional than anyone else.
He and Lin Mosheng had practiced together before. At that time, both of them worked very hard. He could also see that Lin Mosheng was indeed not a very talented person, but he was always serious and determined.
Moreover, his efforts have always inspired many of his fellow apprentices. No one would have thought that one day he would reach this point.
The look in Ji Rong's eyes was more of sadness than emotion.
