Chapter 651 Are They All Eunuchs?
The streets are crowded with people.
Lin Jiangnian and Li Piaomiao stood on the street, looking at each other, and this idea came to their minds almost at the same time.
Is Chen Zhao really the black-robed leader?
At first, Lin Jiangnian did think so!
The person who told him the news was Liu Su. As a saint of the Tianshen Sect, Liu Su learned the secret that the leader of the cult was Chen Zhao from Zhao Changyuan half a year ago.
Naturally, Liu Su would not lie to him, and when he killed the leader last night, it was indeed ‘Chen Zhao’ who uncovered the leader’s mask!
That face was exactly the same as Chen Zhao's, it was clearly Chen Zhao...
Therefore, Lin Jiangnian acquiesced in the fact that Chen Zhao was the leader!
But now, when Li Miaomiao suddenly mentioned many doubtful points in this matter, Lin Jiangnian gradually realized that there was indeed a problem!
After thinking about it carefully, Lin Jiangnian quickly realized that there were many details that did not make sense. If Chen Zhao is really the leader, then how did he switch between the two identities of the imperial palace and the leader of the Tianshen Sect?
Does he have a substitute?
Or is it that the person whose body was hung outside the capital gate half a year ago was the substitute?
But it doesn’t seem to make sense.
There does seem to be an inextricable relationship between Chen Zhao and the black-robed leader. All signs indicate that Chen Zhao is the leader.
But after careful consideration, I found many details indicating that Chen Zhao is unlikely to be the leader!
So……
After eliminating all these possibilities and gathering the remaining clues together, a familiar idea emerged in Lin Jiangnian's mind.
...Is it possible that Chen Zhao and the leader are two different people?
But the two people are inextricably linked?
Even... look the same?
…
If it had been anyone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't have thought of this in the first place!
But Lin Jiangnian is different!
He relied on his exact appearance as Prince Lin to sneak into Prince Lin's Mansion under Liu Su's threat and successfully impersonated Prince Lin!
Only later did I realize that the reason why he pretended to be Prince Lin's son to hide it from everyone was not because of his good acting skills, but... he was actually Prince Lin's other son!
twin!
It is not uncommon for Lin Jiangnian to have identical twins. After all, apart from him, there are also living examples of Jinxiu and An Ning.
Although the twins Jinxiu and An Ning have completely different temperaments and personalities, they are very similar in appearance.
If the two of them stood together and deliberately dressed up to cover up, the only way Lin Jiangnian could tell them apart would be to pick off their clothes to confirm their size...
There are examples of Lin Jiangnian himself and the twins Jinxiu Anning. When he realized the identity of the leader, Lin Jiangnian immediately came up with this guess.
When he looked at Li Piaomiao, he saw that she was deep in thought.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
Her eyes drooped slightly. She had always had doubts. Chen Zhao didn't look like the leader. If the leader was Chen Zhao's twin brother... it seemed that many of the doubts would be explained?
But, would it be such a coincidence?
The two of them looked at each other.
Lin Jiangnian quickly remembered something: "So why did you let me keep the leader's body last night..."
Li Miaomiao looked at him coldly and said nothing.
But Lin Jiangnian already understood... There was actually a way to tell whether Chen Zhao was the leader.
Chen Zhao is a eunuch!
It's a castrated dog!
He had been castrated before entering the palace. If Chen Zhao is the leader, then he must also be an eunuch. If the thing about the black-robed leader is still there, it must be certain that the leader is indeed someone else!
Realizing this, Lin Jiangnian immediately called the guards hiding in the darkness on the street and ordered them to immediately check the body of the black-robed leader.
After the guard heard this, he left in a hurry.
Lin Jiangnian continued to wander on the streets with Li Miaomiao, Jinxiu and An Ning.
The sisters Jinxiu and An Ning were wandering around, and Jinxiu took An Ning around in the shops on the roadside.
Lin Jiangnian was still walking side by side with Li Miaomiao. After finishing the topic of the leader, the two fell into a brief silence.
After a while, the eldest princess with a cold temperament suddenly said: "Did your uncle teach you your "Nine Arts of Sword"?"
Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded: "That's right."
"When I went to Ruyi Tower a year ago, Mr. Li taught me martial arts for a while, and then taught me the nine techniques of swordsmanship... In total, Mr. Li can be regarded as half of my master."
"It's just a pity that he is unwilling to accept me as his disciple." Young Lin Jiang said with a smile.
Li Piaomiao listened quietly and nodded silently.
"But it's a bit strange to say it. How come Mr. Li knows your supreme swordsmanship?"
Lin Jiangnian spoke in confusion, but when his eyes fell on Li Miaomiao's face, he immediately reacted: "Hey, I asked nonsense, this world belongs to your Li family, Mr. Li knows the "Nine Arts of the Sword" "Isn't this normal?"
Kendo has already surrendered to the imperial court. Isn't it natural to devote his loyalty to the imperial court?
Li Miaomiao looked forward with deep cold eyes and said after a while: "Uncle Emperor, he was a close friend with the previous master of Kendo back then."
"Best friend?"
Lin Jiangnian had never heard of this news.
Li Miaomiao said calmly: "In those days, the emperor's uncle liked to travel around the world and make friends all over the world. There were many former friends of the emperor's uncle in various sects in the martial arts world."
"Back then, there was a serious rebellion in Kendo... The specifics of what happened are unclear, but the whereabouts of the previous sect leader was unknown during that rebellion. Various signs later confirmed that the previous sect leader was dead..."
"With his death, he also took away the complete version of the supreme art of swordsmanship, "Nine Techniques of Sword". Since then, the last form of "Nine Techniques of Sword" has been completely lost..."
"Over the years, I have been trying to understand the secret of this last move, but I have never been able to figure it out. I thought that this last move might be lost forever, but I didn't expect..."
Having said this, Li Piaomiao's beautiful eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian and looked at him quietly: "This last move actually belongs to the emperor's uncle. Thinking about it, it should have been given to the emperor's uncle by the incoming sect leader."
"The emperor's uncle passed on this last move to you, which can be regarded as allowing it to see the light of day again."
After listening to Li Miaomiao's explanation, Lin Jiangnian was a little emotional: "I originally thought that Mr. Li was giving me casual advice, but I didn't expect that he would teach me such a unique skill."
Li Piaomiao looked at him: "Your martial arts talent is not low, and this last move is in your hands, so it doesn't count as being buried."
"I believe this when others say it, but why does it sound so strange when it comes from your mouth?"
Lin Jiangnian sighed: "In terms of martial arts talent, who can compare with you?"
Li Piaomiao was silent and said nothing.
Okay, no need to refute!
This woman really has a clear understanding of herself!
Anyone else might have been arrogant, but for her, for some reason, she even seemed a little humble.
This woman's martial arts talent is probably beyond the reach of anyone in hundreds of years!
"Speaking of which, this "Nine Techniques of Sword" is the supreme martial art of your swordsmanship. The last one has been lost for so many years, so it is somewhat unworthy of its name."
Lin Jiang spoke young and lowered his head. As he walked side by side with Li Miaomiao, his fingertips touched the cool skin from time to time. When the fingertips collided, the woman beside him didn't seem to notice.
Lin Jiangnian gradually became more courageous and began to push further. In the end, he simply took her hand and held it on the street.
"I've always wanted to give you a gift before, but I never thought about it. After all, Mr. Li passed down these Nine Sword Techniques to me. I can't just give it away without his permission!"
"However, since Mr. Li is your imperial uncle, it is quite appropriate now."
Li Miaomiao was stunned for a moment when his palm was held, and when he heard these words again, he turned his head and looked at Lin Jiangnian.
Lin Jiangnian smiled at her and raised his eyebrows: "Want to learn? I'll teach you!"
…
When Lin Jiangnian and his party returned to the inn after strolling around the streets, they received the inspection results from the guards.
However, the result was somewhat beyond Lin Jiangnian and Li Piaomiao's expectations.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates have inspected the body of the leader and confirmed that this person is indeed an eunuch...it is undoubtedly Chen Zhao!"
This investigation result surprised Lin Jiangnian, and also made Li Piaomiao frowned with a nice cold eyebrow.
Before returning, Lin Jiangnian had gradually become certain that Chen Zhao and the leader were probably two people!
But the current result is so unexpected!
The leader is actually a eunuch?
Doesn't this mean... that he is indeed Chen Zhao?
"Are you sure?"
Lin Jiangnian stared at Lin Kong who came to report. It was not suitable for Lin Qingqing to come forward to check the corpse, so Lin Kong went to check: "Have you checked carefully? Are you sure...his stuff is gone?"
Lin Kong lowered his head and said seriously: "My subordinates have carefully checked it, and many people have confirmed at the same time... that the leader is indeed a eunuch!"
Although he didn't know why His Highness did this, Lin Kong was still very sure...the black-robed leader was an eunuch!
It must be Chen Zhao without a doubt!
There was silence in the hall.
After a while, Lin Jiangnian waved his hand and sighed: "You go down first."
Lin Kong stood up and left the hall.

Lin Jiangnian and Li Miaomiao were left in the hall.
The two looked at each other again and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
"What part went wrong?"
Lin Jiangnian spoke.
Obviously with the wave of analysis just now, the situation has gradually become clearer. But the current investigation results have made the originally clear clues once again confusing.
The leader is an eunuch, doesn't this mean... that he is indeed Chen Zhao?
There may be two people in the world who look similar, have similar personalities, or even be exactly the same. But it is absolutely impossible for two people to be so similar and exactly the same, and both of them happened to castrate themselves...
This is too much of a coincidence!
Chen Zhao was castrated and he became a eunuch in the palace.
So why was this black-robed leader castrated?
...You can't just despise that thing as unnecessary and cut it off forever, right?
Or is it that this leader has practiced some kind of martial arts secret similar to the "Sunflower Book", and must obtain it from the palace to achieve great success?
Both people in the hall were silent!
Li Piaomiao frowned for a long time, "Something's still wrong."
Lin Jiangnian asked: "How to say?"
"have no idea."
Her answer was crisp.
She didn't know what was going on. Is Chen Zhao really the leader?
But……
How to explain those doubts?
She can't understand!
"It seems that this matter is not that simple."
Young Lin Jiang sighed, originally thinking that the leader was dead and everything would be settled.
Unexpectedly, the leader could come up with some tricks before he died.
Looking at Li Piaomiao's frowning expression, Lin Jiangnian calmly analyzed: "The situation is not bad now, at least we can be sure of one thing... the leader is dead!"
"Then at least we have one less worry... If the leader is Chen Zhao, then it's all over, everything is settled!"
"If he is not... does this mean that Chen Zhao may still be alive?"
Li Piaomiao nodded expressionlessly.
This is what she is most worried about!
If Chen Zhao is still alive, where is he now?
What is his purpose?
"Then let's assume that Chen Zhao and the leader are not the same person, and he is still alive..."
"If only he is alive, it won't change the overall situation!"
Lin Jiangnian spoke.
Both Chen Zhao and the leader are doomed.
In the past, Chen Zhao was able to dominate the court because of the favor of the previous emperor, and because of the coercion and inducement of the civil and military officials in the court for many years, as well as the support of his confidants. But after the death of the previous emperor, his forces and confidants were gradually uprooted by Li Ci Ning.
As for the black-robed leader, his death almost brought down the entire Tianshen Sect.
Not to mention, the Tianshen Sect lost countless elite masters a few days ago. It can be said that the entire Tianshen Sect is almost half dead!
In this way, even if Chen Zhao is still alive, he can't cause much trouble. The only thing to worry about is that if Chen Zhao is still alive, will he hide in the dark and wait for an opportunity to move?
No one knows how high Chen Zhao's martial arts are. A peerless master hiding in the dark and eyeing him is the most fearful and numbing.
"To find out this..."
Lin Jiangnian looked up at Li Piaomiao and smiled, "I'm afraid we need to work together again."
Li Piaomiao looked at him quietly, without speaking, motioning him to continue.
"I have to start from the southern border, check the background of this leader, and also check his life experience to see if there are any clues."
"As for you, when you return to the capital, you have to check Chen Zhao's background, check when he entered the palace, and then check his background before entering the palace..."
"See if they are the same person!"
...
Night falls.
The town is brightly lit, and the inn is cold.
After finishing his daily practice, Lin Jiangnian went to bathe and change clothes, and returned to the room refreshed after changing clothes.
During the time back in Linjiang City, Lin Jiangnian's martial arts realm has improved again. To be precise, it was on the way from the capital to Linjiang City with the princess that Lin Jiangnian's martial arts realm was almost like a rocket.
Lin Jiangnian, who had previously entered the third-grade realm, now vaguely felt that the degree of internal strength in his body was about to reach another abundant state!
The strong and full breath in his body made Lin Jiangnian extremely confident in his current strength!
When killing the black-robed leader, Lin Jiangnian first showed the power of the Nine Sword Techniques, especially the last style of the Nine Swords, which was even more powerful!
The Nine Sword Techniques are indeed top-level skills, with amazing power!
Lin Jiangnian is even confident that even if the current second-grade master comes, he is confident that he can fight with the Nine Sword Techniques!
Is this the refreshing feeling of crossing the realm to kill people?
Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but sigh, and felt a little inflated.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then a crisp, sweet and tentative voice sounded cautiously outside the door.
"Your Highness, are you asleep?"
