After the immortal disappeared

Qingyang also raised his eyebrows. Bai Ziqi is indeed worthy of being the Duyun Envoy. He has been the Duyun Envoy for so long, but he still has the habit of speaking his mind. If the Duyun Envoy were here today, he would never ask like this.

As a result, Bai Ziqi continued to ask: "When did this happen? Which immortal was it?"

"More than 60 years ago?" Yao Wang laughed, "Which immortal did the former king dream of? There is no record in the palace. I was not even born at that time."

Bai Ziqi did not ask any more questions, but praised the delicious ice cream in his hand.

Yao Wang laughed and said: "Since Bai Dushi likes it, I will ask someone to copy a recipe for you. However, the freshest vanilla seeds must be used to make this ice cream. If it is transported over a long distance, it will lose some flavor."

At this time, the old palace servant Qiu Long walked into the Qingyin Pavilion, stood beside Yao Wang and whispered:

"Lord You is here to report the progress of the project. He is waiting to see you in the imperial study."

Every five or seven days, the construction progress of the Tianshui East Expansion Project must be summarized and reported. This is the top priority of Tianshui City right now. King Yao is in charge, so of course he will personally inquire about it.

However, when he heard that You Rongzhi was here, he frowned and said, "Why not He Xiao?"

It should have been He Xiao who went to the palace to report on the work today.

"The outer wall of the new government office has been built. This morning, the ground suddenly collapsed and the whole building fell into the pit. He Xiao presided over an emergency meeting to determine the damage and investigate the cause, so Lord You went to the palace to report." Qiu Long continued, "Lord You said that the rainy season has passed and the ground is no longer wet. It is very inappropriate to collapse at this time, so the material problem must be strictly investigated."

Such a large project, and the progress is being rushed to death, of course there will be problems every few days. King Yao was a little unhappy at first, but now he is used to it. If there is a problem, just solve it. Anyway, big and small problems never stop:

"Let You Rongzhi wait, I will go later."

Bai Ziqi and Qingyang have good hearing, and Qiu Long did not set up a barrier, so both of them can hear what he reported.

So Bai Ziqi smiled and said, "The king has a good eye for talent. He Xiao is indeed a talent."

Yao Wang clapped his hands and said, "I and Bai Dushi have the same opinion."

He used He Xiao to defeat Qingyang, Shuang Ye also used He Xiao to attack Qingyang, and even Bai Ziqi took over the case from He Xiao and continued to work on it before sending Qingyang to the prison in the Heavenly Palace.

He Xiao is really Qingyang's nemesis! Thinking of this, Yao Wang couldn't stop laughing.

Qingyang said leisurely, "He Xiao is a man with evil intentions. He seems to be thinking about you in everything, but in fact, whoever uses him will be hurt. On this point, Shuang Ye Guoshi should have the most say."

Yao Wang laughed and said, "Whoever uses him will be unlucky? Not necessarily. I think the prince of Chiyan State, Fu Shanyue, is living a good life."

The trigger of the immortal medicine case was the disappearance of the Lingxu messenger. It was a case that Fu Shanyue handed over to He Xiao personally, and it seemed that he supported He Xiao throughout the process. Then hasn't he been fine till now?

This sentence really hit the blind spot, and Qingyang found it difficult to refute it for a while.

Fortunately, Bai Ziqi spoke: "I heard from the Lord Liang that the new temple of the goddess is about to start construction, and I want to go over and take a look."

He is a messenger of God, and it is reasonable for him to have this request. Yao Wang agreed immediately: "I will let You Rongzhi be a guide for Bai Dushi."

After dinner, he went to listen to You Rongzhi's briefing first; Bai Ziqi and Qingyang strolled in Yuquan Palace and reminisced about the past.

It was cold and snowy here, and no palace servants dared to stay, which gave the two a quiet place to talk.

Qingyang spoke first: "You have never changed your outspokenness, no wonder you were thrown to the Golden Plain by the Lord."

Bai Ziqi smiled bitterly, but Qingyang saw through him at a glance. "It's been decades, and it can't be changed."

He pointed to the wall and said, "Have you found out the cause of death of the old pear tree?"

"King Yao got angry several times, and the tree doctor gave the opinion that it was dying rapidly and it didn't seem to be caused by human beings. Look at the environment of Yuquan Palace, even a tree demon would not be easy to survive, and it has survived for sixty years, which is not easy." Qingyang shook his head, "I have always wondered why King Yao must live next to Yuquan Palace? He is obviously old and weak and can't tolerate the cold."

In the past, when the old pear tree was still there, King Yao could barely find a reason to say that he loved trees.

Now that the old pear tree is gone, why is King Yao still guarding the Yuquan Palace?

"The old pear tree died on King Yao's birthday?" Bai Ziqi stroked his chin and pondered habitually, "Recently, why are there always things in Yao Kingdom that die inexplicably?"

Qingyang knew that the other "thing" who died inexplicably in his mouth was Xue Zongwu.

"You can volunteer to investigate the cause. King Yao will be overjoyed to have a free helper like you." Qingyang said leisurely, "You have nothing to do these days anyway."

"How do you know I have nothing to do?" Bai Ziqi was so smart that he reacted immediately, "Oh, you are also involved in the goddess's plan?"

Qingyang did not comment: "What plan?"

She had been away from Lingxu for too long, and she had forgotten a little. She had to be careful when talking to Bai Ziqi.

Well, it was the same when facing He Xiao.

Bai Ziqi grabbed a handful of snow from the railing: "Master Liang said that the goddess has an important plan. Even the goddess thinks it's 'important', so this plan needs a strong executor and coordinator, and Master Liang--"

He shook his head: "-Master Liang is not good at this."

In fact, it's not just Master Liang, the entire Heavenly Palace is not good at it.

So the Heavenly Palace needs Lingxu City, Beijia, and a strong and complete administrative system.

"Qingyang Supervisor is a ready-made candidate, not to mention you have always had a harmonious relationship with the goddess. Such an important responsibility will most likely fall on you."

There are many Lingxu gods, and each god is an independent individual with his own temper and tendency. Bai Ziqi understood very well that although Qingyang was the Demon Emperor's confidant, she actually had a good relationship with Miao Zhantian, otherwise the Demon Emperor would not have sent her to supervise the Yao Kingdom.

King Yao's son died in the elixir case, so of course he had a grudge against Qingyang. If Qingyang continues to have bad relations with Miao Zhantian, the Demon Emperor will risk her death by sending her here.

Besides, Qingyang himself has been in the military and politics, with two hundred years of experience, isn’t he the best candidate to run the organization?

Qingyang shrugged: "Heaven has given you a heavy responsibility. What on earth are you doing in Yao Country? You are not really here to investigate Emperor Jiuyou, are you?"

"The Great Emperor Jiuyou needs to be investigated, but I received more important clues on the way." Bai Ziqi raised his chin slightly, "Master Qianhuan!"

Qingyang's face was expressionless: "I have heard no less than seven versions of various legends and stories about Master Qianhuan in Yao Kingdom."

"This time it's very reliable, because I found Qianhuan Zhenren's spirit gathering formation!"

Qingyang's tone finally rose: "Where?"

"Baimao Mountain."

"...Isn't that in the Golden West?"

"The spirit gathering formation is there, but Qian Huan himself may not be there, or 99% of the time he is not there." Bai Ziqi said seriously, "I came to Yao Kingdom to seek help from the goddess."

"Yes, the godhead under the control of God Miaozhan is 'truth', which is exactly in conflict with the real person Qianhuan." Qingyang said "um", "Did the goddess ask you to wait a little longer?"

"Not bad." Bai Ziqi said, "I plan to go to Mangzhou to see the crime scene at Xiaotao Mountain Villa."

Mangzhou is very close to the capital.

He thought for a while and then said: "I want to hear your inference about Emperor Jiuyou."

Qingyang said calmly: "I'm not investigating this case."

She has always had a bystander attitude toward what Emperor Jiuyou did.

"In your mind, there is no candidate for the suspect?" Qingyang is Qingyang after all, and Bai Ziqi believes that a veteran like her has her own basis for judgment, and even her intuition is often accurate.

A name suddenly flashed in Qingyang's mind.

But she didn't say it, because Bai Ziqi would ask why, but she couldn't tell the reason at all.

"What about you?" Qingyang asked, "After checking for so long, who do you think is the most suspicious?"

"I have only been in the Golden Plains for more than two months. How many people can I recognize?" Bai Ziqi said with a smile, "As I walked along, I felt that the Golden Plains was very different from before. Even Julu Port was a little prosperous. There are signs - although it’s still as chaotic as before.”

"This Emperor Jiuyou's rules are different from those of his predecessors. It's ridiculous that King Yao doesn't take him seriously yet. He's so shallow!" Qingyang also said, "If we can find out his motives, we might be able to uncover his secrets." true colors."

Bai Ziqi confirmed again: "You really have no clue?"

Qingyang shook his head: "I told you, I don't pay attention."

…

Expansion project in the eastern suburbs of Tianshui.

The meeting at He Lingchuan had just ended when Wang Fubao hurried in and reported hurriedly: "Lord, Master You has returned, but there are dozens of people around him! The man in the lead is about forty years old and has an ugly face. Master You is always half a horse behind him! "

Wang Fubao followed He Lingchuan all over the country, and he was no longer the young boy from Rongshan he had been before. His eyes are becoming more and more poisonous, and he also knows how to detect the enemy's situation and grasp the key points.

To put it simply, You Rongzhi accompanied the distinguished guests to the project team and stayed half a horse behind to show respect.

As soon as several elements in these words came out, He Lingchuan felt slightly stunned, knowing that Bai Ziqi was here.

"How many soldiers are you bringing?"

"There are about forty guards, but the uniforms of the guards are different. The rest are all followers."

"Don't be impatient." He saw that Wang Fubao was a little nervous, "Lead them to Gangxi."

The number of people in the eastward expansion project department is increasing, and the original buildings can no longer accommodate it, so four or five new city official offices under construction have been temporarily requisitioned. Wang Fubao got the order and flew away.

You Rongzhi didn't say much after hearing this, and immediately led Bai Ziqi and others over:

Gangxi is on the bank of the Spring River and has beautiful scenery. He Xiao hopes that the envoy from Tiangong will see the best side of the new city construction, which is reasonable and reasonable.

Bai Ziqi approached Gangxi and saw that the long river here was surging and the water was not frozen. The official office was by the river, with rows of tall pines diagonally behind it, like ink.

He Lingchuan led people to welcome him out with a smile on his face:

"Shi Bai, long time no see!"

With a glance, he took a general look at the opposite side. The person who came was indeed Bai Ziqi, accompanied by You Rongzhi, followed by fifty or sixty followers, of which almost twenty were palace guards in the temple.
