After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 18 Cleaning Up

   "She is a bit stricter, and she expects us to do something when we return to the capital after we become talents."

  He Lingchuan laughed loudly: "Come on, she just wants you to learn Huidu and be crowned Jinghua, what does it have to do with me?"

   These words were full of resentment, and He Yue was displeased: "Brother, why should you underestimate yourself? Have you ever thought about what to do after returning to Dadu?"

   "Go back to Dadu?" He Lingchuan stroked his chin, "No!"

  Yuanzhen didn't think so far at all, and he certainly didn't have a plan.

   Qiansong County looks like a bitter cold place to outsiders, but he and Yuanshen both think it's pretty good. The He family is the Caotou Emperor here, and they are used to domineering. They are comfortable standing up and lying down, but they are nothing in Yuan Kingdom.

  In terms of background, financial resources, connections, and even the ability to spend money, the He family is not worthy of lifting the belts of those high-ranking and powerful people.

   So why go? I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

  He Yue reminded him: "This is my father's long-cherished wish. We will try our best to fulfill it. We made an oath during the family sacrifice." It's strange that my mother likes the big brother's attitude.

   "I know." He Lingchuan patted him on the shoulder, nonchalantly, "You study essays, I practice martial arts, together you can be both civil and military. One day when you go back to Dadu, whoever finds trouble for you, I will destroy him secretly."

   "Brother, you are really..." He Yue could only be speechless when he met someone who was messing around.

   But thinking about it better, my brother's pleasure in Heishui City is all on the bright side, at least he knows that most of the time he will have to do evil in secret when he goes back, which can be regarded as a kind of progress.

   I guess.

   Lu met Uncle Hao, who winked at He Lingchuan and followed.

   What happened again?

   Arrived at the side hall, the two sat down, Uncle Hao went to guard the door by himself, and kept away from others within a radius of five feet.

  He Yue picked out a set of tea sets, touched the ice-cold body of the cup: "The national teacher and Xunzhou Mu are here to ask for trouble?"

  He Lingchuan yawned, listless: "The two of them are not the most troublesome. The leader behind the scenes is the emperor's father-in-law."

   "Big Sima?" He Yue's expression changed suddenly, "Could you be talking about... Dong Haoming?"

   "Hmm, how many other heads of state do we have?" He Lingchuan thought for a while, and the father only said not to tell Mrs. Ying, but he didn't mention to keep his mouth shut with He Yue.

  This kid has been helping with the county affairs since he was nine years old, so there is probably no need to hide this important matter from him. Anyway, He Chunhua sent people into the desert in a few days, and He Yue must know about it.

  So he readily explained the intention of Sun Guoshi and the two of them, from the beginning to the end.

  He Yue listened carefully, interjecting occasionally to ask a few questions, most of the time he carried a pot to boil water.

  Brother is too lazy, so he can only do it himself.

  After he finished boiling the water and brewing the tea, He Lingchuan's mouth was dry, so he picked up the hot tea and took two gulps.

   "Second brother, what do you think?"

   "Great Sima wants to use us as swordsmen, but my father will most likely agree, and it is useless for us to oppose." He Yue analyzed, "With my father's age and qualifications, there is still a lot to do when he returns to the capital."

  The two sons are almost adults, but He Chunhua himself is not yet thirty-five years old, and he is still strong and energetic. He has spent the best twenty years of his life on barren land, how can he tolerate being ignored and buried?

   "Fortunately, the whereabouts of Zhong Shengguang's keepsake is unknown, and they will not be able to go to the Panlong Desert after searching for dozens of days without any results."

  He Lingchuan coughed lightly: "Actually, the token has been found."

   "What? Where is it?" He Yue was startled, and looked at his elder brother with suspicion, "You, how do you know?"

   "It's here." He Lingchuan patted his chest and said slowly, "Actually, it all started when I was seriously injured more than a month ago..."

  This time I will try to keep the story short.

   "Nian Songyu only said that he went to find the leopard demon, but he didn't mention the matter of raiding his nest and exterminating his family." He Yue frowned, "Besides, what exactly did Xunzhou Mu send him for?"

   "It is said that he is assisting Sun Guoshi." He Lingchuan touched his chin, "It seems that my father will soon ask me to get the sand leopard relic."

  He Yue reminded him: "Hongbaidao is still holding two guards from Donglai Mansion. Now that you know their purpose, how do you plan to deal with them?"

   "What else can I do? Of course, let it go."

   "Release?" He Yue was a little surprised, "I thought you wanted to destroy the corpse."

  The best way not to offend Donglai Mansion is to not let them know that they have been offended.

   "It's not necessary, is it?" He Lingchuan scratched his head, "It's just two second-class guards, what a p for Donglai Mansion?"

   "Well, you're right." He Yue thought to himself, the mystery of the whereabouts of these two people is a trouble after all, what if Hongbai Dao reveals another flaw? If the old man decides to help them win the Dafang Pot, it is best to show some sincerity at this time, so as not to be put on behind the back when the merits are rewarded in the end. Anyway, there are only two guards, so it doesn't count as a fart when you are young. The Donglai Mansion is about to use us, so they don't think they will make use of it.

  He Lingchuan was so impressed by him that he muttered: "What kind of eyes are you looking at me?"

  Compared to before, my brother seems to have changed, but not completely. He Yue pulled back his thoughts: "There are many doubts about this matter. Entering the Panlong Desert is a narrow escape, even if you really have a token in hand. Just let them take the risk, you and your father can't wade into this muddy water."

"Know it."

   At this time, Uncle Hao came to report, and Hongbaidao sent someone.

  He Lingchuan met people in the garden.

   Through the window, He Yue saw his elder brother sitting on the bench in the garden, crossing his feet and asking, "Those two things are still alive?"

   "Alive." This person is the member of the Red and White Road who tipped him off last time, "What instructions do you have?"

   "Get out of jail and clean up."

   "Clean up?" The man understood, "Will it be burned to ashes or turned into water?"

   "I said clean up, not murder!" What are these guys thinking? "The one who backed them up has come, I'm afraid they will have to be released in a few days, let them go alive!"

  The congregation said "ah": "Let go?"

   "Why, their body parts are incomplete?" He Lingchuan frowned. This is not good, if the people who return to Donglai Mansion lack arms and legs, then it is not showing favor, but enmity.

"Complete, complete, and a little more." The man coughed, "We all thought that these two guys were dead, so Chen Laoqi played with one of them, and you know that his hobbies are very special. "

"I know? How could I know?" He Lingchuan stared, "I thought they just ate too much bad food and got a few more bites from bedbugs. If this matter spreads, it won't hurt their p. stock, but the face of Donglai Mansion!"

  He Yue in the study heard this, and covered his face with his hands. Is it really an illusion before, big brother hasn't changed.
