After the immortal disappeared

"Also, these monsters decay very quickly." Dong Rui picked up a piece of braised beef, threw it into his mouth and tasted it for a long time. It was delicious and chewy, good! "Like that hinge-tailed tiger, even if I don't kill it, it won't survive for at most half a year."

"Your demon puppet also had this problem before." Later, Zhu Erniang used the skills of the ancient demon immortal to give Dong Rui a trick, which greatly extended the demon puppet's lifespan.

He Lingchuan still doesn't know how that was done, and he doesn't bother to ask - he probably won't understand even if he does.

Anyway, in order to obtain this secret method, Dong Rui cooperated with He Lingchuan's Xushan plan in Lingxu City.

"These three-headed demon puppets are probably just the first finished products. They are short-lived anyway. They will be put into battle after they are made. It will not be a pity to lose them." Dong Rui raised two fingers, "It means two points. First, the opponent is likely to have There are more powerful demon puppets; secondly——"

"The more powerful the demon puppet is, the harder it is to control it. That's why this demon puppet master used the three-headed preliminary product to track Xiao An."

Hearing this, He Lingchuan tapped the table: "I know, he may have a superior. But his superior is either very busy or has an identity, and it is impossible to track Xiao An personally all the time."

"Next, as long as we find out why the demon puppet master had to chase this little girl, the truth will probably emerge."

"Where do you start?"

"Xiao An has mentioned more than once that she wants to go home and go back to that village." He Lingchuan smiled, "At least, we know where her destination is."

"Xingyun Village has long since disappeared."

"But she doesn't know it herself." He Lingchuan opened the sand table in the middle of the Shining Gold Plains and pointed to the location of Yao Kingdom. "Do you still remember that we completed the mission of Lingshan and took the three-tailed fox demon from Baitou Ridge to Julu Port?"

He changed the topic quickly, and Dong Rui was startled: "Oh, remember."

"The three-tailed fox demon was hunted by General Chongwu for killing more than a thousand civilians of the Yao Kingdom. Even Princess Ya, whom King Yao loved, could not escape his murderous hands." He Lingchuan recalled, "The victim's death method was caused by the essence and internal organs. They were all sucked out, much like what a fox demon would do.”

"Oh yes, I remembered it. The three-tailed fox demon denied it, saying that he and the little fox demon had never gone down the mountain or harmed anyone during that time." Dong Rui suddenly realized, "You are suspicious, the three-tailed fox demon did it The scapegoat, the real murderer is Tong Xuan? "

"Now it seems that it is not impossible." He Lingchuan continued, "It killed too many people that time, and it was impossible to take the brains of all of them and eat them. The Yao Kingdom probably didn't notice that some of the corpses had missing brains."

"That was more than half a year ago."

He Lingchuan marked on the sand table: "The princess of Yao Kingdom and civilians were killed near the Baitou Ridge of the three-tailed fox demon."

"And Chenjiazhuang and Green Villa are at this location."

He continued to mark: "And here, Xiao An's final destination, Xingyun Village."

"Connecting these dots, this is Tong Xuan's path in recent months." He paused, "It's probably also the path taken by the demon puppet master."

"Tong Xuan's killings in other places were sporadic, but he committed mass killings in Baitou Ridge. There must be incentives." He Lingchuan pondered, "That area is worthy of investigation."

"Also, Xiao An said that her father lives in the mountains. The house is very big, and there are red and white rocks outside the gatehouse. This is a characteristic, so you might as well investigate it together. In addition, these puppet masters, like you, want to capture monsters and make them Research shows that most of their residences are not in the county, but in the countryside.”

Based on the above, there are many clues that can be investigated.

Dong Rui put down the second sea bowl, touched his belly and burped: "I'm full, I'm going to catch up on some sleep."

…

Yaopo, Situ Military Camp.

Two months ago, this was the front line of the battle between the Situ family and the Pixia people; but with the death of the Ghost King and the advance of the Allied Forces, peace returned to Yaopo and the people could live in peace again.

In just two months, the green grass and trees outside the city are almost invisible, and the traces of the former war are almost invisible.

But today Yaopo received a new task:

The contract between the Peliu Kingdom and the Kan people will be signed here.

The Bixia people were defeated by the Allied forces, and when they retreated on the northern front, they conveniently handed over the Qingye area that originally belonged to the Peliu Kingdom to the Kan people. The latter coveted the rich products and commercial interests here and refused to return the country to Peliu.

The two sides were arguing endlessly, and the Allied Northern Front was not only unable to advance, but was also in danger of collapse at any time.

As the leader of the Allied Forces, Situ Yu came forward to mediate many times. After all the good words and countless letters exchanged, the two sides finally reached an agreement and were ready to sign a contract.

Before Situ Yu entered the tent, he let out a long breath.

Today is his fourth time, and it should be the last time he mediates this matter, right?

In the tent, representatives of the Peliu Kingdom and the Kan people sat on one side of each other, and there was no room in the middle, where Kang Lang sat.

When Situ Yu came in, everyone stood up to greet him.

The terms have basically been negotiated. The king of Poliu and the chief of the Kan tribe did not come in person, but sent representatives to Yaopo to sign.

"Okay, everyone, sit down." Situ Yu sat down and saw a long file on the case, which unfolded to reveal the signing documents of both parties.

When he saw this, his brain ached. To check such a long contract item by item, he would rather go into battle and kill the enemy!

Kang Lang's face below him was glowing red, and his back was straight.

He is the sixth son of the king of Poliu and the son-in-law of the leader of the Kan tribe. He will soon become a key figure in resolving the Qingye dispute. Of all the people present, he was the most elated.

Situ Yu glanced at him and remembered that his son's idea as relayed by He Lingchuan was indeed feasible. "Okay, what is in front of you is the latest Qingye Agreement. We have to review it one by one, and then sign the contract here!"

There was no objection from below, so the review began.

The Kan people took over Qingye and knew that they were unjust, so they asked for 50% of the city's income;

The country of Peliu is willing to settle the dispute, but only if it gets 70% of the proceeds.

Originally this was a point of disagreement between the two sides, but the Situ family asked He Lingchuan for advice and found an "impossible solution", and only then did the peaceful cooperation on the Allied Northern Front appear.

Of course, what He Lingchuan proposed was just ideas and concepts, and the three parties needed to negotiate on how to implement them.

As long as vital interests are involved, no matter how dull or stupid a person is, they will immediately become shrewd, let alone the two major forces.

The Situ family put a lot of effort into this, used their utmost patience, and finally succeeded in setting up the matchmaking.

This round of deliberation lasted two hours, and was punctuated by several questions and arguments.

However, it was eventually negotiated.

Representatives from both sides and Kang Lang must sign and seal the document in quadruplicate.

The Poliu Kingdom, the Kan tribe, and the Kanglang tribe each kept a copy, and of course the Situ family, as witnesses, also had to keep a copy.

When Situ Yu held this agreement in his hands, he felt relieved.

Within two hours, his voice became hoarse!

Representatives from both sides stood up, politely declined the Situ family's banquet, and said goodbye to their hosts.

They were eager to go back and fulfill their orders. This contract was of great importance.

With it, the Allied Northern Front could put aside their disputes and continue their attack on the Vishayans!

Only Kang Lang was in high spirits. When he stepped forward to thank Situ Yu, his bow almost touched the floor: "Thank you, Marshal Situ!"

"Congratulations to Kang Chengshou for taking office!" Situ Yu patted him on the shoulder, "Do a good job. From now on, you will be the cornerstone of peaceful exchanges between the Peliu and the Kan people. Remember to be impartial."

"Yes, Kang Lang has remembered it."

By virtue of his special status, Kang Lang became the manager of Qingye jointly entrusted by the Poliu Kingdom and the Kan people. Since the agreement came into effect, he took office as the guardian of Qingye City.

He is no longer the dispensable sixth prince of the Kingdom of Peliu.

As long as he acts impartially in Qingye and effectively communicates with both sides, the Allied forces will be able to crush the Bixia people's conspiracy and continue to attack it.

Situ Yu said again: "You should prepare more guards when you go out, so as not to become a thorn in the side of the Bixia people."

Kang Lang smiled and said: "I will obey your words!"

Then he said goodbye and strode away.

These days, he also has many ideas for Qingye, and now he can't wait to put them into practice.

At this point, the Qingye dispute has been resolved, and a big stone has been lifted from the hearts of all the Allied forces.

Situ Yu looked at Kang Lang's excited back and praised: "The master of Yangshan Islands is indeed talented."

The confidants around him didn't understand: "Marshal?"

"The hometown association, backed by the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce, has contacted many talents. But those with real power like He'er are in the minority after all." The Situ family took up the banner of anti-Bixia, and the Situ father and son worked together to achieve their goals. There is a division of labor, "Most of the members of the hometown association are children of aristocratic families like Kang Laoliu. They have a status of a famous family and are eager to try, but in fact they are just idlers."

"Ah...you are so accurate."

"This time the hometown meeting was planned well, and Kang Laoliu became the key figure in resolving the Qingye dispute. With him at the forefront, other people from aristocratic families will definitely look at the hometown meeting with new eyes, and hope that they will be supported and ride on the wind from now on. Let's get up." Situ Yu chuckled, "He Lingchuan not only helped us, but also helped the Allies, and also raised a banner and built a reputation for his hometown association."

Killing three eagles with one stone is nothing. What is really remarkable is that He Lingchuan has not shown up yet.

Outsiders thought he was just a wealthy businessman from outside.

Thinking of this, Situ Yu was slightly shocked again.

He Lingchuan's act of secretly supporting Kang Laoliu was just like He Lingchuan's help in helping his father and son defeat Bixia. He also used the method of setting an example and setting an example to make himself comfortable in the middle of the Golden Flash Plain, becoming a fragrant figure that all the forces in the world were striving to please. cake.

Even Yao Kingdom sent envoys to contact Yang Shan - He Lingchuan never hid this from Situ and his son.

Situ Yu still remembers his generous helping hand, but what exactly does the He Island Master want to do in the Gold Shining Plains?

People always have a purpose in doing things, right? But Situ Yu still hasn't seen it through.

Is all He Lingchuan doing so that Yangshan's commercial business can be spread across the Golden Plains? It seems like this, and it seems like it's more than that.

While he was thinking, he walked back to his tent unconsciously.
