After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 20 I don't know the sky and the earth

   "The spy you sent out was killed on the spot?" He thought for a while, "That harpy monster has been with Ah Hao for many years, and it always landed on his shoulder. I even fed it with my own hands."

"It was tortured to death." He Lingchuan was determined when he heard his father call Harrier the "spy" that he wouldn't just treat it as a little monster. "Nian Songyu and Sun Guoshi must have known from it that it is I sent it out."

  He can't fight alone, he must remember that his father is his solid backing.

  If the old man who is an official and powerful is not good enough, he is even worse.

  He Chunhua said indifferently: "It's just a kite. If you die, you will die. What's the big deal?" He picked up the pen and continued writing.

  He Lingchuan was startled: "Father!"

  He didn't expect He Chunhua to react like this, so he quickly persuaded:

   "They obviously asked He's mansion, they knew that Xiao Hui was sent by me, they knew it was just a small misunderstanding, but they still crushed it to death!"

He thumped the table lightly, and the four treasures of the study jumped together, "Father, these two people don't pay attention to our family at all. They think they want to make it round, so they can make it round, and they can make it flat if they want to. He can't call out for work!"

"Sun Fuping is a great teacher who is favored by heaven, and I am just a sheriff in a barren land. This is a world of difference. Normally, he would make me round if he wanted to, and flatten if he wanted to, and then Another little finger pins you to death, otherwise how can it be called strict hierarchy?" He Chunping smiled instead of anger, "You have been comfortable in Heishui City for too long, and you don't know the superiority and inferiority, and the heights of heaven and earth!"

  He said the next few words with a serious tone.

   It is false to say that they are not depressed, the other party looks down on them from the bottom of their hearts.

   Squeeze your spies to death, you still have to work for me and die for me!

  Yes, it is so superior.

  But the first-level official crushed people to death, and Sun Guoshi still came here with the king's order behind his back. What can he, the county guard, do?

  He Lingchuan refused to accept: "But Uncle Hao..."

   "Those who are subordinates must accept their fate!" He Chunhua frowned, "Can't he think about it?" He is already in his dozen years.

  He Lingchuan changed the subject decisively: "You said it too, it's normal!"

"Stop whining, stop being smart, and think of ways." He Chunhua dropped his pen and stood up, tapping his eldest son on the forehead, "But we can't just be passive, this is still the territory of the He family after all. Tell me Say, how do you want to be called?"

"It's better to let the second child come up with ideas, he has a lot of ghost ideas, but in my opinion—" He Lingchuan sneered, "Even if you have to do things for them in the end, you might as well drag the words first to kill their arrogance. Except We ourselves, who knows the exact whereabouts of the relics of the sand leopard? Besides, they killed our people... Well, monsters, is there no price?"

   "The price?" He Chunhua pulled out a smile, only to feel that these two words entered his heart, "It makes sense."

  The eldest son has grown up, and he is a little relieved.

   "By the way, those two guards from Donglai Mansion?" He Lingchuan knew that He Chunhua planned to let them go.

   "Put it on hold." He Chunhua also said lightly, "Let's talk about it in a few days, they don't care anyway."

   Nian and Sun care about the whereabouts of the token, Donglai Mansion cares about the Dafang Pot, and the guards themselves are irrelevant.

  ￥￥￥￥￥￥

  At the dinner that day, the two sides chatted and laughed, and the host and guest had a great time.

   Riding on the strength of the wine, He Chunhua almost patted his chest to promise that he must find the pass to the Panlong Desert.

   Then ten hours passed.

  Nian Songyu certainly felt that the time was like a year, so he reminded him once. While He Chunhua admitted that he had achieved nothing, he once again promised that he would go all out.

  This time, he sent men to Heishui City, pretending to post notices and search the whole city.

  Excellent attitude, extremely poor efficiency.

  Of course, such a search will definitely yield no results.

  The advantage of the He family is time, they are not in a hurry.

  The majestic Grand Master finally couldn't sit still, and came to visit with Nian Songyu, but it was a pity that the governor He was out, so he had to be treated by his second son He Yue.

  The eyes of the two of them brightened when they saw He Yue, and they were generous with their compliments. Especially Nian Songyu and He Yue chatted for a few words, as if they met each other late, and even the words "You and I are about the same age, so we might as well communicate more in the future" popped up.

  He Lingchuan took a sip of tea sullenly. Speaking of age, he is closer to Nian Songyu, right? How did this guy say it so cheekily? The second brother has a good face and has always been more likable than him, but isn't the performance of these two people a bit exaggerated?

  He Yue is writing a bureaucratic article according to his father's request: "Heishui City has been mobilized from top to bottom, but the commercial road near Hongya is closed, and the passenger flow in and out of the city has increased greatly. Fish and dragons are mixed, which adds a lot of difficulty to our search mission."

  He Lingchuan was afraid that the second child would suffer, so he sat on the side to accompany him, only to see that the boy was very sincere on the surface, but in fact he was not good at anything, he looked very much like his father He Chunhua.

  Nian Songyu became impatient, and didn't bother to be polite to them: "Then close the city gates and search! This matter is related to the fate of the country. What's the point of closing the city for a few days?"

"Impossible." He Yue smiled wryly, "The Baling Kingdom Mission will arrive in Heishui City in two days, and then return to the west from here. This is their last chance to return to China this year. If there is a delay, it may cause major tension between the two countries." Misunderstand!"

  He paused: "Baling Kingdom has been eyeing Big Yuan all the time, and there have been frictions on the border many times. They are worried that they have no excuses."

  Nian Songyu laughed angrily: "So, Heishui City can't be closed, and once it is closed, it will trigger a border war?"

   "It's very possible!" He Yue said firmly, "Qiansong County can't afford it!"

  Sun Fuping couldn't bear the sight of them arguing with each other and wasting time, so he opened the screen window to explain: "I heard that Mr. He was injured, and he was kept behind closed doors for forty or fifty days?"

   "Yes, it almost killed me." He Lingchuan drank tea for a long time, and the topic finally turned to himself. He tore open the skirt, revealing the wound on his neck. "Look."

  At that time, the sand leopard bit his neck desperately. Although the wound has healed now, it still leaves a tear-shaped scar, which shows that it was critical that day.

  Nian Songyu stared at the scar: "How did this scar come about?"

   "This is me going to Calabash Mountain..." He Lingchuan seemed to be taken aback when he said this, "Hey, where did Captain Nian hear that I was seriously injured? Not many people know about it."

  Nian Songyu said without even thinking about it: "My subordinates inquired about it. As you said, there are too many people in Heishui City to cover up the information."

   "These grandsons dare to spread information about me?" He Lingchuan threw down the cup and said angrily, "Who is it? Captain Nian told me, I will definitely not spare him!"

  Nian Songyu was silent, looking at him with sharper eyes.

  The feeling of sharp needles pricking the face came again, He Lingchuan stared back not to be outdone.

  Larger than eyes? He is never cowardly.
