After the immortal disappeared

Sure enough, the Shimen caravan successfully picked up the skeletons of the escort and the mission in carriages, and transported them more than three miles forward, where they happened to meet the returning escort spies.

After the two sides met, the spies led the Shimen caravan to meet Xiang Yunhuan, the deputy captain of the escort team.

When the leader dies, the deputy automatically becomes the leader.

The team that was so arrogant a few hours ago was resting in the stone forest, and their morale was quite low. He Lingchuan glanced over and saw that most people were injured.

Master Shi Er wanted to return all the corpses of the escort to Xiang Yunhuan, but the latter hesitated and actually asked the Shimen caravan to continue transporting the bodies of his companions to Baiyang Town ahead, where the escort would receive them.

Although it was unlucky to carry someone to death, Master Shi Er readily agreed this time because he promised to Yun Huan: "I will report your contribution to the boss."

Master Shi Er also saw that most of the carriages and horses of the escort team were lost, and there were too many casualties. He could not even take away the corpses by himself, so he could only rely on the transportation capacity of these private caravans.

It was an extremely depressing day for the entire convoy.

The wind demon that had disappeared for hundreds of years suddenly appeared. The envoy of the Chiyan Kingdom was kidnapped. The escort team suffered heavy losses, and even the spiritual seeds entrusted by King Baoshu were gone.

What's even more frustrating is that they don't even know who is behind the scenes.

Fortunately, the envoys from Baixiang Kingdom and Xuluo Kingdom are still alive, and the captain himself has died in the line of duty, so he can still deliver missions to Yunhuan.

In any case, the next thing has to be done, the team has to be led, and these more than a hundred people are still counting on him.

Xiang Yunhuan cheered up and waved down a raptor, ordering it to fly back to Fufeng City to deliver the news. He himself will continue his unfinished mission, sending the two envoys to the northern border, and then return to Fufeng City to accept the charges.

When the raptor flew down, He Lingchuan realized that there were still several bird demons secretly following the escort team. They had not shown up during the battle, probably because the wind was too strong and they could not get close to the wind demon at all.

These high-altitude scouts were so useful as spies and messengers that He Lingchuan still sighed with emotion.

He heard Master Shi Er comforting Xiang Yunhuan and saying, "This road has been peaceful for hundreds of years. Who would have expected that Feng Mo would come to launch a sneak attack? Sir Xiang is not to blame for this, and the superiors will not criticize him harshly."

Xiang Yunhuan frowned.

He Lingchuan answered: "Why the Wind Demon can resurrect is worth considering. If Mr. Xiang can figure it out, it can clear up a hidden danger for this important passage."

Feng Mo Rock and Black Stone Village are both important nodes that connect the north and south of the Baoshu Kingdom. All carriages and horses traveling from south to north pass by. If the wind demon resurrects, it will definitely pose a major threat to the people and horses passing through the tundra.

So He Lingchuan's words are not exaggerated at all. Master Shi Er also sighed: "Yes, hasn't this wind demon been taken away by my king a long time ago? Could it be that in four hundred years, a second wind demon has been raised here?"

There is a strange Ziwu Divine Wind on Feng Mo Rock. Since it could give birth to the first Wind Demon countless years ago, how do you know that it cannot raise another one?

He Lingchuan waved his hand slightly: "Earth, water, fire and wind, the possibility of cultivating spirituality from these natural elements is not as good as one in a million other monsters." Of course, this has a specific premise, under the current environment.

Needless to say, in the ancient times, in a world full of spiritual energy, all kinds of moths can run around everywhere, only you can't imagine it.

"Even if a second wind demon appears from birth, how can it be so coincidental that it is still in the old place of Piaomiao Sect?"

Master Shi Er has been with him for more than a month and has a little understanding of his temperament: "Brother He, don't show off, you must know something."

"We have all visited the old site of the Piaomiao Sect. The cave at the exit has three large characters on the cliff, which are the words 'Feng Boyan' engraved in the ancient immortal language."

"So in ancient times, the Piaomiao Sect and the locals actually called the Wind Demon 'Wind Uncle'." He Lingchuan said lightly, "For them, this thing is probably a spiritual creature that protects the Immortal Sect and the entire tundra, rather than a Monster. Then the 'Wind Lion God' is a sculpture created in his image."

People build statues of gods, saints, mountains and water spirits, believing that these can protect and protect them.

So it is not surprising that the ancients built a statue of Feng Mo, or Feng Bo.

"But have you noticed that the wind lions usually appear at the same time, one big and one small?" He Lingchuan took out a pair of wind lions from the storage ring. The big one was as tall as a person, and the small one was only less than three feet tall.

Master Shi Er recalled what he saw in the cave and couldn't help but nod: "Indeed, it is true! The wind lions in the fields and in the cave all appear in pairs. I heard from the locals that this is the male and female wind lions. .”

"How come there are male and female wind demons?" Xiang Yunhuan had also heard those legends. He looked at He Lingchuan, "You mean, there are actually two wind demons in the Piaomiao Sect?"

"Yes, one big and one small." He Lingchuan patted the stone sculpture, "Just like these two."

Art always comes from reality. If there were no two-headed wind demons, why would the Piaomiao Sect create such sculptures?

"You mean, my king subdued one wind demon, but missed the other one?"

This statement is very dangerous, and He Lingchuan will not accept it: "This is what you said."

Xiang Yunhuan: "..."

He Lingchuan patted the little wind lion: "Wind lions may not be divided into male and female, but they can be divided into father and son. This little one may be born from the older one. Or is it called 'differentiation'?"

The Baoshu King itself does not differentiate between male and female, but the spiritual seeds it breeds are equivalent to clones.

Then why can't Feng Mo do it?

Xiang Yunhuan said solemnly: "Even if the little wind demon has survived, why did it suddenly attack us after four hundred years of peace? Was it awakened?" At this point, his eyes suddenly straightened, "Could it be that with Chi Yan, Is it related to the messenger?”

His mission on this trip was mainly to send the three envoys back to the north.

The attack of the wind demon caused chaos. Someone took the opportunity to kidnap the envoy of Chiyan Kingdom and jumped directly from the cliff.

The wind was so strong that the bird demon could not get close to the battlefield. After the battle, Xiang Yunhuan had sent the bird demon down the cliff to look for him, but he knew in his heart that 90% of them would not be found.

The people behind the scenes caused such a big fight, even risking offending King Baoshu, just to capture the Red Yan envoy?

A mere envoy coming to celebrate a birthday is just an ordinary human being, what's so strange about it?

"Do you know, Sir, that before the Shoudian of King Baoshu, that is, on the night when Emperor Liujing appeared, the deputy envoy of the Jiling Kingdom was killed? According to the investigation, the other party wanted to attack the envoy of the Shanyu Kingdom, but they just got the wrong target."

"I know that the deputy envoy of the Qing Ling Kingdom was killed." Xiang Yunhuan looked at He Lingchuan with a strange look in his eyes, "Who are you?"

Although this young man was majestic and majestic, he was previously so frustrated that he didn't even have the time to ask the other person's name.

He Lingchuan showed the silver medal from Taifu's Mansion: "I have some connections with Mr. Sha Xinghaisha from Taifu's Mansion, and I was invited to the ceremony to observe the ceremony."

In the land of Baoshu Country, this thing is really useful.

Head Shi Er smiled and helped: "Master He has promised Taifu Sha that after going to Lingxu City to do business, he will return to Fufeng City to serve as an official."

His words were very particular, and it sounded like Tai Fu Sha was begging He Lingchuan to go back and become an official.

"I see." Xiang Yunhuan became less wary. After all, it's not unusual for talented people to serve in demon kingdoms, and they sometimes move between countries. "You mean, this series of schemes are all aimed at the envoys?"

He Lingchuan spread his hands and said, "It's just a guess."

"No, no, your statement makes sense." Xiang Yunhuan said, "I was also responsible for the post house, which is part of the defense of Liushe. The two envoys from Shanyu Kingdom and Chiyan Kingdom lived in the same enclosure. .”

The other party first targeted the envoy from the Shanyu Kingdom, and then kidnapped the envoy from the Chiyan Kingdom. However, these two people lived across the street from each other in Fufeng City.

Isn't this a coincidence?

He Lingchuan's eyes flashed: "It's so convenient for these two envoys to communicate with each other. Is there some handover?"

Xiang Yunhuan nodded: "That makes sense. If there is any conspiracy between these two people, it would be a good idea to meet with me, Wang Shoudian, to hide it from others."

He thought for a while and then said: "When the Shanyu Kingdom's envoy arrived at Fufeng City, it was two days later than the original date. I heard from the team's handyman that a thief stole the envoy's storage bag on the road. Then There were money, miscellaneous items, and customs clearance documents inside, and it took them a while to recover them.”

"Did you lose something?"

"They were not lost. I heard they were all recovered."

He Lingchuan suddenly realized: "No wonder the Shanyu Kingdom's envoy did not pass through Sanxinyuan as scheduled. It turned out that something was delayed on the way."

Fu Shanyue didn't catch any prey there, so the envoy from the Jiling Kingdom became the scapegoat.

At this time, the bird demon previously sent by the escort team returned, and the body of the Chiyan messenger was found on the mountainside of Fengmo Cliff. His neck was twisted and he died.

Upon hearing the news, Xiang Yunhuan couldn't help but press his temples, and the trace of luck in his heart was knocked away. It seems that the man behind the scenes got what he wanted.

Next, he had to be busy again and had no time to talk to the two of them.

He still has a lot of troubles to deal with.

And He Lingchuan finally connected the cause and effect.

The Shanyu Kingdom wanted to give a gift to the King of Chiyan, but instead of using the conventional method to send it to the other country to present it in person, they took advantage of the 800th birthday celebration of King Baoshu, and the envoy from the Shanyu Kingdom carried the gift to the Liuzhou Posthouse in Fufeng City. He left the house and handed it over to the envoy from Chiyan Kingdom to bring it back.

In other words, this was a private transaction between the two monarchs and was not made public.

But Fu Shanyue didn't know where he got this information and planned to intercept the treasure halfway. He first went to the Shanyu Kingdom's envoy to ambush him in Sanxinyuan. Unexpectedly, the emperor's liquid erupted and he killed the Tuiling Kingdom's envoy. However, the envoy of the Shanyu Kingdom, his real master, was delayed because his bag was stolen and did not enter Fushan. Instead of setting up a killing array, they arrived at Fufeng City safely and connected with the envoy from the Chiyan Kingdom.

Then this "treasure" was signed for by the envoy of Chiyan Kingdom.

Fu Shanyue had no choice but to follow him to Fufeng City.

He planned to attack the envoy from Chiyan Kingdom, but he didn't know that He Lingchuan wanted to avenge Sanxinyuan's pursuit, so he gave him a report and the officials came to visit.

Fu Shanyue's plan was once again shelved.

Fortunately, this guy was persistent and had Plan C, which was to use the wind demon to intercept the escort team and take advantage of the chaos to rob the envoy of the Chiyan Kingdom.
