Chapter 368 Message
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "That's true. All the great masters have given up their weapons... so, the Heavenly Sword is not on the Noble Peak?"

"This is Tiandao Peak." Lu Donghu said with a smile, "The Tiandao is in this peak."

"Isn't that right?" Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "My intuition has always been sharp. If there is a Heavenly Sword around, I should be able to sense something unusual."

The super-sensory cave illuminates the entire mountain.

If you are at the foot of a mountain and cannot see through to the top of the mountain, the peak is too high.

But at this time, halfway up the mountain, the cave illuminates the entire peak, and there is nothing special about it.

There are two places where grandmasters are stationed. One of them is a towering hall on the top of the mountain where a grandmaster is stationed. There are three big characters "Tian Dao Pavilion" written on it.

There is a portrait hanging on the north wall of the main hall of Tiandao Pavilion. In the portrait, a long sword is floating in the void. Purple lightning is whipping the long sword like a whip, making the blade burst into purple flames.

There were two long knives on the table in front of the portrait.

One scabbard is azure blue, the other scabbard is emerald green, both exude astonishing aura.

In another place, a great master was sitting cross-legged at the entrance of a cave on a cliff.

There is a spiritual light in the cave, and within the spiritual light, the shadows of mountains, rivers and land are faintly flickering.

Chu Zhiyuan was secretly awed.

He immediately knew what was inside the cave.

I never expected that the Feitian Sect actually had a secret place!
Only the four great demonic sects have secret places, the four great sects do not have secret places, isn't this true?

But there is no secret place in Baiyun Sword Palace.

Among the four major sects, Baiyun Sword Palace has no secret place, Feitian Sect has a secret place, then what about Dalingyan Peak and Qinglu Cliff, do they have secret places?

When did this secret place appear?
Did it appear along with the secret place of Dazhen, or did it appear earlier?

With this secret place, does that mean Dazhen’s secret place is less important?

Is it not necessary to marry the Eighteenth Princess?

Does the emperor know about this secret place?
The image of the Grand Master's visualization in front of the cave is a sword, which is obviously from the Feitian Sect.

If he wasn't the grandmaster of Feitian Sect, he would have concluded that the emperor knew about this secret place.

Lu Donghu has always been reluctant to let more disciples enter the Zhenwu Division. Is it because there is a secret place and enough resources, so there is no need to work hard for the court anymore?

So, Lu Donghu changed his mind after discovering the secret place?

From this aspect, we can infer the approximate time when the secret place was discovered.

His expression remained unchanged, and he smiled and said, "So the Heavenly Sword is not in this peak?"

"The prince is indeed amazing," Lu Donghu said with a smile, "The Heavenly Sword is both in this peak and not in this peak."

"how do I say this?"

"The Heavenly Sword is hidden in the void. I need to personally guide it before it can be summoned to my presence."

“…So mysterious?” Chu Zhiyuan sighed, “What a pity that I don’t have the chance to see it.”

Lu Donghu also showed a helpless look: "Please forgive me, Your Highness. If anything happens to you in my sect, it will be our fault."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I understand. We just need to not embarrass Sect Master Lu. Then we will take our leave."

Lu Donghu said, "Why don't you stay for a few days and learn some sword and knife skills?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Let's discuss this next time."

"Okay, then next time." Lu Donghu said with a hearty smile.

……

Chu Zhiyuan and Huang Cheng descended from the Tiandao Peak of the Feitian Sect, mounted their horses, and walked back slowly.

Chu Zhiyuan seemed to be thinking about something.

Huang Cheng didn't ask any more questions and continued on his way quietly.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at Huang Cheng and said, "Huang Zhongshi, is what Sect Leader Lu said true or false?"

"This... I don't know." Huang Cheng hesitated and shook his head, "It sounds true, but you can only know a person's face but not his heart, so I dare not make a firm statement."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "As expected of you, you are the Yellow Envoy."

"Your Highness thinks Master Lu is lying?"

"Most of it is lies, and some of it is true." "Which part is true and which is a lie?" Huang Cheng asked.

I didn't believe everything because I was used to doubting what everyone said.

Instead of really seeing the flaws.

The Fourth Prince actually figured it out?
Chu Zhiyuan said: "The Heavenly Sword is in the void, this should be true. As for the saying that the Heavenly Sword will hurt people and attack all non-Feitian Sect disciples, this is not true. In fact, they don't want others to see the Heavenly Sword."

If I hadn't seen the situation inside Tiandao Pavilion and the secret place, it would not have been so easy for me to see through Lu Donghu's lies.

With the Tiandao Pavilion, by comparing it with the subtle movements when he speaks, you can tell which ones are true and which ones are lies.

It is true that you cannot judge a person by his appearance. Lu Donghu lies without blinking, as naturally as drinking water, making it so easy for him to deceive others.

Huang Cheng nodded slowly: "Master Lu, you don't want to offend the prince, right? Otherwise, there is no need to tell this lie."

"I guess the founder of the Feitian Sect must have made up this lie a long time ago to avoid trouble."

He immediately shook his head: "It is said that the disciples of Baiyun Sword Palace are smart. Now it seems that they are not smart enough to make up such a lie to prevent others from seeing the Baiyun Sword Monument."

"Haha... you are indeed not smart enough," Huang Cheng said with a smile, "Outsiders cannot see the Baiyun Sword Monument. The Baiyun Sword Palace only breaks this rule once for the prince, because of the favor of the Grand Master."

……

Chu Zhiyuan was riding his horse while thinking about the secret place.

This matter is of such importance that he is wondering whether or not to expose it and what method to use.

The more important the relationship, the more cautious you should be and the more cautious you should be.

If the emperor doesn't know, then he should be informed.

If the emperor knew about it and the news was leaked because of telling the emperor, it would be a crime.

The best way to protect yourself is to pretend you don't know and pretend you didn't notice.

But as the prince, how could he just watch and not say anything?

So we must first assume that the emperor knew about it, and the reason he didn't mention it was to hide the matter.

I must not speak carelessly or make public matters that need to be kept secret, otherwise it would ruin the emperor's plan.

How can I tell the emperor without leaking it to others?

After much thought, the safest way is to meet the emperor and talk to him in person.

But since she was born, the only times she had seen the emperor were at the palace's night banquets, and she had never met him in private.

This is extremely abnormal.

It is very likely that the emperor has some taboos and it is difficult for him to meet the emperor alone.

Then we have to think about how to convey the message secretly.

Either Chu Qingfeng or Chu Qingyan can meet the emperor alone, and both of them are absolutely trustworthy.

Another one was his mother Bai Ningshuang, who passed the news to Concubine Rou.

All along, the emperor had been passing messages to himself through Concubine Rou.

He thought about it and decided to use both paths together.

Split a letter into two.

This way, the news won't be leaked and other people won't be implicated.

Sometimes, secrets are dangerous.

Knowing the secret would bring about fatal disaster.

After returning to Yujing in the evening, he went back to the palace and randomly picked up a travel book from the bookshelf, read it from beginning to end, and then began to write down strings of numbers on a piece of paper.

The letter was presented to the emperor by Chu Qingfeng when he went to Mingwu Palace the next day.

And the travelogue was given to Concubine Rou by Bai Ningshuang.

……

At noon, he received Li Hongzhao's invitation and immediately smiled.

When the lights came on, he appeared in Mingyue Tower.
