After the immortal disappeared

Forward right? He Lingchuan glanced at him and couldn't help being surprised.

The "He Ru Lin" the mirror mentioned was a shop with an exquisite appearance, and several customers had just walked out. The leader was a beautiful woman in her forties, wearing a brocade robe and a high bun. She wore only a few pieces of jewelry, but her movements showed a unique grace and elegance.

Even every strand of hair is filled with indifference and alienation.

He Lingchuan had seen this face several times, but he had never forgotten it.

Qingyang!

She has always been a high-ranking figure, and He Lingchuan did not expect that he would meet her while casually walking around the streets of Tianshui City.

A luxurious carriage stopped at the gate of Herulin, and Qingyang and several followers were about to get on the carriage. She was a person who kept an eye on everything. She glanced at the street from the corner of her eye and spotted He Lingchuan.

Strictly speaking, Qingyang and He Lingchuan only met once, at the home of the wealthy Ke Shouyi. Later, He Lingchuan wore a mask when he was causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace. He was chased by her and Bai Zhantian for a long time without showing his face, so it didn't count.

But Qingyang's eyes narrowed and his footsteps stopped.

He Lingchuan knew that she recognized him.

He and Qingyang only met once and never had any important words. Several years have passed since the incident, and Qingyang has met so many important people, how can he still recognize him?

Well, that means Qingyang had paid attention to him beforehand.

The Yangshan Islands suddenly intervened in the war between the Allied Forces and Bixia. As the superintendent of the Yao Kingdom, she might also be interested in knowing about it?

This sudden encounter was not the ideal situation He Lingchuan had planned.

But again, no reality will follow the best script.

So when Qingyang waved to him, He Lingchuan also strode forward to greet him and said hello frankly:

"Lord Supervisor!"

"Hey... Xiao?" Qingyang looked him up and down, his eyes and words full of meaning, "The last time I saw you was in Lingxu City. I never thought we could meet you thousands of miles away."

The last time we met, she was still the master of the Qing Palace, who controlled the wind and rain. On the surface, she was fighting with Bai Ziqi of the Tiangong, but secretly she was competing with Shuang Ye.

In that battle, Shuangye won, and it also brought an end to the battle for the chief national teacher that lasted for more than a hundred years.

So when Qingyang suddenly saw He Xiao, the man who lit the fuse of the elixir case with one hand, his mood was very subtle.

"Yes, we have come thousands of miles to meet each other by fate." He Lingchuan smiled heartily, "How is the supervision of the country?"

"I am an old woman who is almost 200 years old. What's wrong with me?" Qingyang said lightly, "How did you come to Tianshui City? I heard that your whereabouts were unknown after you and Fu Shanyue left Lingxu."

"Your Majesty invited me to come to Tianshui City to watch the ceremony. It's hard for me to refuse your kindness." No matter what Qingyang's attitude was, He Lingchuan always responded with a smile. Don't stretch out your hand to hit the smiling man, "What I have seen along the way is that Yao country is prosperous and peaceful, and Jian country has come to a good place."

It seems that Qingyang has also inquired about his whereabouts. He probably knows that he is already a good person, but he pretends to be indifferent.

Commander Zhao on the side also saluted Qingyang: "Master Supervisor!"

After all, he was facing the Supervisor State sent by Bega, and he had to be polite.

Qingyang glanced at him: "Who are you?"

"Bring a sword guard in front of the emperor, Zhao Song!" Commander Zhao said seriously, "We are ordered by the emperor to protect the safety of Lord He Island in Tianshui City!"

King Yao actually sent his imperial guards to protect He Xiao? Qingyang was a little surprised at this: "Oh? He Xiao, what have you done to require special protection from the Yao Kingdom?"

Qingyang didn't care how much Zhao Song's cultivation level could protect He Lingchuan. But King Yao gave this order, which was a bit weird in itself, but at least it showed the importance of He Xiao.

As a foreigner, He Xiao had just arrived in Yao Kingdom. How could he have any enemies and even need to use King Yao's imperial guards?

Oh, King Yao was preventing her from taking action against He Xiao?

"I haven't done anything yet." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "It's because of your great love, I'm afraid."

On the surface, he really hasn't done anything - he hasn't even started yet.

"Oh?" Qingyang raised his eyebrows, "How long have you been here?"

"I just arrived five days ago." He Lingchuan said truthfully, "It seems to be when Tianshui City first started to impose martial law throughout the city."

At that time, Tianshui City had just received the news of Xue Zongwu's death. While the entire royal court was in a state of shock, many officials were also uneasy.

You know best what you have done.

Xue Zongwu wanted power and people, he was strong in cultivation, and he had his father-in-law who was equally skilled in cultivation to help him, but in the end he was chopped into pieces, and even his father-in-law was not spared.

Whose life does Emperor Jiuyou want?

"Interesting." Qingyang looked deeply, "Are you also from Mangzhou?"

There were too many dignitaries passing through Mangzhou. In Xue Zongwu's death, the suspect could have circled Tianshui City twice. But when Xue Zongwu and Qi Yunsheng were killed, if He Xiao was also in Mangzhou...

There is a bit of mystery surrounding this person.

"No, Zhuo'an." He Lingchuan shook his head, "We originally wanted to go to Mangzhou, but we heard that the inns there were full and there was nowhere to stay, so we had to go to Zhuo'an to stay. I also visited a few local sages."

Qingyang was a little surprised. It turned out that this kid didn't even get close to Mangzhou?

Zhao Song also testified: "I have always been by the side of Master He Island. During those few days, we did rest in Zhuo'an."

As the bodyguard sent by King Yao to He Xiao, he had no qualifications or need to lie for He Xiao. Qingyang knew this very well, so he smiled: "It saves a lot of trouble. Okay, let's meet again in a few days. ”

Then she turned around, climbed into the carriage, and lowered the curtain.

The carriage started smoothly and soon disappeared around the corner.

He Lingchuan watched the carriage leave, and always felt that Qingyang in the carriage was staring at him through the curtain.

"Let's go back too." He said to Commander Zhao.

Back at the Sanmentou Posthouse, He Lingchuan went into the house and closed the door.

Commander Zhao's men whispered: "Boss, I think Qingyang Regent is also very friendly to He Island Master."

Not as tit-for-tat as imagined.

"What do you think?" Zhao Song glared at him, "With your dog eyes, what can you see? Our great regent has arrested so many officials, who was not friendly to him at the time? Didn't he act vigorously and vigorously when he turned around?"

"..."

Besides, was Qingyang Regent friendly? That was clearly the indifference of the superior, and Commander Zhao was not unfamiliar with it.

She didn't deliberately treat anyone unfriendly, but just ignored everyone equally.

At dinner, Dong Rui heard that He Lingchuan and Qingyang Regent had met by chance, and the roasted chicken leg in his bowl suddenly lost its fragrance:

"Damn, Tianshui City is so big, you can meet her just by walking on the street, what kind of luck is this?"

"It's a heaven-defying luck." He Lingchuan didn't think he was unlucky anyway, as he would have to face Qingyang sooner or later.

"What if she is determined to mess with you? How can you, a small foreign merchant, escape the clutches of the Regent?" Dong Rui racked his brains and thought hard, "Or, you strike first and then blow yourself up?"

In the past, He Lingchuan fell into the center of the vortex of power struggle as soon as he arrived in Lingxu City. In order to avoid being torn apart, he attacked himself before Qingyang and arranged an explosion in the guest room of the inn.

After that, he and Fu Shanyue both enjoyed a higher level of protection, and Qingyang couldn't do it to him again.

He Lingchuan shook his head: "Qingyang is not an ordinary person. If the same trick is used twice, she will most likely see through it."

"What should we do?"

"Because of the death of Xue Zongwu and Qi Yunsheng, and because the birthday celebration of King Yao is approaching, the entire city of Yao is now under martial law. Qingyang will not harm me at this time, otherwise it will be easy to fall into King Yao's trap." He Lingchuan thought about it before coming to Tianshui City, "We still have some room and time to maneuver, and the plan must be carried out as soon as possible."

"Qingyang has already targeted you, can the plan still be carried out?"

"What can't we do? We take every step In the sun, are you still afraid of being seen? "He Lingchuan said with a smile, "My plan is so simple, that is, to become famous as soon as possible, and everyone in Tianshui City knows it."

"..."

"But unlike in Lingxu City, this time, I will not appear as a 'victim' again." He Lingchuan finished his meal, rinsed his mouth and stood up, "The Shining Gold Plain is a place where evil is afraid of bullying the good. Therefore, we must let the Yao people know that we are absolutely strong!"

...

Qingyang returned to Youhu Cottage and had just changed his clothes when He Yang came to report the intelligence in the Yao Palace in the past two days.

The source of the intelligence is very complicated.

Qingyang certainly has spies in the palace. Although she may not know the content of the conversation between the monarch and the minister, she will soon know who the Yao King has met and what decrees he has issued.

Of course, the Yao King also sees everything she does. After all, she is on the Yao King's territory.

No matter who makes a move on either side, as long as it is not done secretly, the other side will know.

General Chongwu was transferred to the northern border. The order of King Yao was a huge shock in the royal court, causing many old ministers to oppose and debate fiercely in the court.

In fact, the old officials in the officialdom may not understand the mystery behind it, but it does not prevent them from being heartbroken.

In the history of Yao State, no foreign generals have been sent to guard the border since ancient times!

Why? Isn't it because those who are not of our race must have different hearts.

However, the atmosphere in the palace is relatively relaxed and active, because General Chongwu's transfer to the north is a clear signal: Qingyang Regent will not make trouble for everyone in the short term.

Many people can breathe a sigh of relief, both openly and secretly.

"The palace envoy specially sent by King Yao also brought back the investigation of the murder case in Xiaotao Villa. At that time, Xue Zongwu fell into the trap of the leader of the Black Armor Army and was chased to the north mountain of Xiaotao Villa before he joined his subordinates. Later, he rushed out of the fire and was killed by Emperor Jiuyou in front of more than a hundred of his elite soldiers and the guards of the villa. His soul was taken away. At that time, the reinforcements were only a few dozen feet away from them. Many people saw that scene and couldn't sleep at night. They still feel scared when they talk about it."

"Did Xue Zongwu leave any useful clues?"

"He roared before he died, but his neck was injured and his voice was hoarse. The palace envoy asked all the witnesses. Some said he just yelled, but some said General Xue wanted to leave a last word, as if he was talking about "that family." "

"That family? Or "that is"? "
