After the immortal disappeared

Fan Shuang was puzzled: "What is cocoa?"

"Oh, it's what you call Xiangluodou." He Lingchuan corrected, "Cocoa is the outside name."

Yao people call cocoa "xiangluo bean" because the food made from it has a rich aroma, which makes drinking it satisfying and enjoyable. From He Lingchuan's observation, the local production, processing and preparation of cocoa has become quite mature, and has even been used in pasta.

When the merchant ships entering and leaving the Shining Gold Plains docked at the Yangshan Islands, He Lingchuan also saw this kind of "xiangledou" product. It was expensive, but it was said that the supply exceeded the demand, and it was loved by the upper-class nobles in Mou and Ya.

Since he came to Zhuo'an, He Lingchuan would definitely not let go of such a good thing. With high unit price, small size and large consumption, it is the most popular product among ocean merchants.

"Is this also produced outside?"

He Lingchuan smiled: "In a place far, far away."

He also felt a little emotional in his heart. The prosperity and happiness of Yao Country already looked a bit like Lingxu City.

At night, Dong Rui sneaked out to find him.

Wang Fubao and other Yangshan guards went to wait outside the door. They seemed to be enjoying the cool air in twos and threes, but in fact they were guarding the door to prevent strangers from approaching.

Dong Rui closed the doors and windows, and He Lingchuan scanned the room with a telescope to make sure the surrounding area was safe, and then placed a soundproof barrier.

"You have a plan, right?" Dong Rui asked him, "Are we really going to implement it in Zhuo'an?"

"Yes." He Lingchuan dipped his finger in tea and drew a simple map on the table, "I originally planned several locations for action, and Mangzhou was the next best choice, but now that we are here, there is no choice. Even better.”

"Taoshui is your first choice?"

"Yes, but something happened to Taoshui Feng's family, which disrupted our plan." When planning major events, He Lingchuan always has to make several plans to avoid complications and confusion. "Mangzhou is not impossible, but the risk is greater."

"Judging from the sand table, the distance between Zhuo'an and Mangzhou is about 40 miles. In actual walking, you have to go around more mountain roads, about 70 miles. This distance is very suitable for Snail Chan." He continued, "This area is also welcoming. Rains and floods make the ground moist, which helps us come and go without leaving a trace.”

"But if you go further east, the plains end and enter the mountains, and the terrain is no longer crisscrossed by water networks. If it doesn't rain there, the snail toad cannot escape five or six miles." He Lingchuan said seriously, "Except for Mangzhou, There is actually one last place to take action later, but you have to make allowances and try to avoid the 'last choice'."

The last option is that I have no choice but to bite the bullet.

If they miss Mangzhou, they may have only one last chance. They will inevitably become impatient psychologically and worry about gains and losses.

Facing an opponent like Xue Zongwu, he couldn't be more anxious.

"On the night of the attack, we will stay in Zhuo'an, under the noses of Fan Shuang and the royal guards." He drew a circle on the table, "Xue Zongwu's death has nothing to do with us. They are all our alibi witnesses."

"Xue Zongwu married the daughter of his mentor. The Taoist school where he studied, Qingnuoshan, was very famous in the central part of the Shining Gold Plains. His master and father-in-law, Qi Yunsheng, came from a traditional wealthy family in the Yao Kingdom and was once a disciple of Qingnuoshan. The chief elder was very famous when he was young, but I heard that he was also cruel and ruthless. Several unsolved cases in Yao Kingdom were related to him, which also involved factional disputes. It seems that Xue Zongwu is like a younger version. Qi Yunsheng, but this Elder Qi retired a few years ago and moved back to Mangzhou."

"Oh, his father-in-law's resume is also very heavy."

Ever since He Lingchuan made the plan for the Black Armored Army, he began to think about Xue Zongwu's big goal, and spent a lot of effort to get all the information about him. Hey, it would be great if there was an informant who knew everything.

Lingshan finally recommended a candidate to him, Tu Yuanhong, but he was actually killed by Xue Zongwu.

"So Xue Zongwu has to come to Mangzhou to pay a visit to his father-in-law?"

"Yes. Although Qi Yunsheng was raised in honor, he still has a wide network of contacts in Yaoguo Chaotang and Qingzhi Mountain. It is said that the wealth he accumulated is also quite amazing. He and Xue Zongwu, the son-in-law, are a strong alliance. , Without the father-in-law's financial resources, reputation, connections and guidance, Xue Zongwu would not be able to act so recklessly. Therefore, when Xue Zongwu passes by Mangzhou, he should go there both emotionally and rationally. "

"Many officials and dignitaries have passed through Mangzhou recently, and they will also visit Qi Yunsheng, so the whole Mangzhou will be lively by then."

He Lingchuan enlarged Mangzhou on the sand table: "Qi Yunsheng's villa is located on Xiaotao Mountain in Mangzhou. At that time, it should be bustling with people and many dignitaries were there. When Xue Zongwu went to visit his father-in-law, he couldn't bring all the two hundred elite soldiers together. Bring it into the house, otherwise it will not be a visit to the younger generation, but a display of power. "

"So, he had the least number of guards around him at that time?"

"It stands to reason that this is the case. But his father-in-law is not an easy man. Even though the chief elder of Qingdao Mountain is over sixty years old, his cultivation is still profound."

"Xue Zongwu himself is a tough nut to crack, plus the chief elder of Qingnao Mountain, and Mangzhou is still his territory." Dong Rui raised his fingers and gestured one by one, "How about forget it and change the goal? It’s pretty good too.”

He Lingchuan smiled: "We made trouble in the Heavenly Palace back then. Do you know why Fang Canran and Lingshan had to get involved?"

"Because it works so well?"

"Because the Star-picking Tower burned down by the Torch and the Lingxu City destroyed by Lingshan were both glorious achievements and had a shocking effect!" He Lingchuan said softly, "Fang Canran told me that since then, the people who have moved closer to Lingshan have The number of forces has skyrocketed. In just two years, it has exceeded that of the past fifty years! Even several small countries under Bejia's control have wavered and started testing."

You are famous and have raised the banner of anti-Beqa, so you will have your comrades to support you.

"The same goes for killing Xue Zongwu. I can't refuse this effect of shocking Yao Kingdom and informing Shan Jin!" If he doesn't kill the evil in Yao Kingdom, and doesn't bite the real hard bones, Emperor Jiuyou cannot truly represent "justice." , the image of the Black Armored Army cannot really be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Killing Xue Zongwu to sacrifice to heaven is an important part of He Lingchuan's golden plan that cannot be bypassed.

In this regard, Dong Rui only asked: "Where to start?"

"Do you still remember Huang Shen? Fan Shuang said that his father was originally a left-behind in Tianshui City. He was imprisoned and executed four or five months ago." He Lingchuan smiled, "Actually, according to Qian Yu's account, Huang Liushou was Xue Zongwu several times. The amount of money involved is huge! "

Qian Yu did the core accounts for Xue Zongwu. Huang Liushou's name appeared several times, and he even debited a lot of money from Xue Zongwu. The two parties had close contacts, and Qian Yu remembered everything.

Dong Rui said in a weird voice: "General Xue is really a big business person."
