After the immortal disappeared

Li Qingge shook his head, "But Mao Qijun has some abilities. Once he died, the civil strife in Shanyu Kingdom could not be suppressed, and it developed into the current situation."

He Lingchuan smiled and said: "Are these veterans of aristocratic families just sitting there waiting to be killed? Why not strike first?"

"Fu Shanyue has been surrounded by people lately and never travels alone. Why do you think that's the reason?" Li Qingge poured himself a cup of tea, "He's not stupid either. After this period, he will have the power. Furthermore. , he must have someone to support him in the royal court.”

If someone is unlucky, someone must benefit.

"No wonder so many people are vying to please Fu Shanyue now, are they afraid that it will be too late?" He Lingchuan pondered, "The King of Chiyan may feel uncomfortable if he just lets it go."

"It doesn't matter if he feels uncomfortable, unless he wants to give up the throne of the king." Li Qingge shook his head, "Even if he is willing to do this, Lingxu City and the gods may not be willing to do it. What will happen to disobeying Lingxu City? Come on We passed the ruins of Thousand Stars City on the way, have you seen it before?"

"Impressive." The ruins of Thousand Stars City, Twilight Plains and the existence of lowly slaves are like a conspicuous scar, reminding Bega citizens at all times——

The power of Lingxu City is supreme and cannot be challenged.

…

The next day, Fu Shanyue unexpectedly appeared in the inn again.

Master Shi Er and others were already packing their bags and preparing to continue on the road. He Lingchuan also asked curiously: "Why are you here?"

Fu Shanyue had been enjoying the spring breeze these past few days. He was busy greeting people and sending them off, accepting the flattery of officials big and small, and seemed to have completely forgotten about He Lingchuan and others.

Head Shi Er began to worry that he would not get back his three thousand taels, and Fu Shanyue suddenly arrived at this time.

"Three thousand taels for you." Fu Shanyue handed Master Shi Er a stack of banknotes, "There are another three hundred taels, which is considered as a shock payment."

Just kidding, three thousand taels of physical silver is very heavy, and no one will be able to carry it around.

Shi Er became the head of the family, but his biggest worry was that he smiled from ear to ear: "The prince is generous!"

Fu Shanyue said hello to Li Qingge again, and the two of them chatted and laughed for a while, and they were very happy.

He Lingchuan was listening and suddenly realized that the two people were so familiar with each other.

Fu Shanyue even made some jokes with Li Qingge and told a joke, which made Li Qingge cover his mouth and chuckle.

With his reclusive personality, he would not usually be so close to strangers. But now, he invited Li Qingge to come to Chiyan Capital again in the future.

These two guys just met a few days ago and were introduced by He Lingchuan. How many days has it been? Li Qingge has negotiated one or two deals with Fu Shanyue, and they can be implemented in the near future, including Songyang Mansion opening a store in the capital, weapons updates for the Xiting Guards, etc.

Indeed, as Li Qingge said, Prince Chiyan was an important connection worthy of her efforts.

And she hadn't forgotten He Lingchuan, so she naturally exchanged a few words with him to prevent him from feeling left out.

A beauty can play both sides between two men, making both of them happy. Such a long-sleeved ability to dance is really amazing.

After chatting, Fu Shanyue turned to He Lingchuan and said, "My father sent me a message and asked me to do something for him."

Li Qingge heard this and came over to ask, "Has your Majesty seen you?"

"No, he just ordered someone to deliver the message."

Li Qingge quickly congratulated him: "Since your Majesty has entrusted you with the mission, it means that most of the anger in your heart has been vented." Otherwise, it would be enough to leave the mission to others, so why use Fushan Yue?

Fu Shanyue smiled and said: "I think so too. But I am in a special situation now. I still have a few things to take care of, and I can't leave the capital right away. You also know that-" He turned to He Lingchuan, "So, I want to leave this matter to you." for you."

He stopped talking and looked at the two people beside him.

Li Qingge immediately said: "Yeah, my rouge box hasn't been confiscated yet."

Master Shi Er was stunned for a moment and then said, "I have to go downstairs to get some wine."

These two were very discerning and both found an insincere excuse to slip away.

There were only two people left in the room. Fu Shanyue chuckled and said, "About two months ago, Lingxu City sent a messenger here, but he got lost halfway and never heard anything more. Of course Lingxu City can't let it go like this, so Dad We can't just forget about it. Originally, Fu Shanji started to investigate this matter, but he is already dead, so now I will officially take over."

"No." He Lingchuan refused, "Do your own thing. How can I have that kind of free time?"

"I'll pay you, two pieces of middle-grade Xuanjing." Fushan Yue was prepared, and he turned his palms and handed out two shiny things.

The black crystals are light yellow and polygonal. Each one is as big as a walnut, but the color is not uniform. One of the bottoms gradually turns dark green.

He Lingchuan also has black crystals, and he knows that this is the form it should have. Natural black crystals are condensed in the ground. The color and quality depend on the circumstances. If it is too perfect, it will be too fake.

Different grades of mysterious crystals contain huge differences in energy. The quality of these two pieces has exceeded what He Lingchuan has seen before, and he doesn't know who paid tribute to Fu Shanyue.

It’s worth a lot of money.

Sure enough, now that this guy is back on his own territory, he can be generous with his actions? He Lingchuan glanced at it with disdain: "You want to bribe me with two pieces of Xuan Jing?"

"Just think of it as a big favor to our brothers and Chi Yan Kingdom." Fu Shanyue stretched out his hand and piled another piece of Xuan Crystal on top.

It's also light yellow, but larger.

He Lingchuan suddenly changed his subject: "What kind of monster is the messenger?"

"It's a white-shouldered eagle."

He Lingchuan smiled: "You asked me to do such a big favor, but you only gave me three Xuan Crystals. You really don't regard me as a brother."

There's nothing good about being brothers, it's easy to lose your head.

Fushan said more curiously: "It's just a bird monster, I don't want you to turn the tide. It's a pity that I can't leave, otherwise I would have done it myself."

He Lingchuan was unmoved: "Really? Then let me ask you. Why did Lingxu City send a messenger?"

"Pass the message."

"what news?"

"Uh..." Fu Shanyue hesitated before saying, "That's all, it's been two months, so it doesn't hurt to tell you - it's the military situation on the Eastern Front."

"Then this military situation should have been very important at that time, right?"

"……Um."

"That's why we use white-shouldered eagles for delivery." He Lingchuan said, "White-shouldered eagles are raptors that can migrate long distances, but their numbers are very small. I happen to know that there are several levels of messengers in Lingxu City, such as blue pigeons, Both swan geese and feather cranes can serve as couriers, but the most important information is delivered by the fastest and patient birds of prey."

Even if other countries can tame bird monsters to send messages over long distances, they will never use them as frequently as the northern monster country - this is the base camp of monsters. Therefore, Lingxu City can also have the luxury of grading messengers.

These contents were obtained from reading idle books in Panlongcheng Wenxuan Building.

Apparently Panlongcheng has done a lot of research on the Bejia Kingdom.

The more Fushan didn't refute, he just acquiesced.

"This white-shouldered eagle suddenly disappeared. Isn't it a big delay?"

"Of course." More than just a delay?

"Believe it or not," He Lingchuan asked him, "Why do you only send a bird messenger for such important military information?" If the messenger had an accident on the road, like this time, the consequences would be very serious.

"Uh... maybe there are not enough raptor couriers?" Fu Shanyue scratched his head, "According to convention, one letter must be sent twice. The other letter with the same content was delivered by Hongyan, but it was several days late, causing the Chiyan army to We moved east too late and missed the best opportunity to attack.”

"What if the White-shouldered Eagle's information is obtained by outsiders?" He Lingchuan was thirsty and went back to the house to grab a bunch of grapes and eat them. "The worst thing is that its disappearance may indicate that Lingxu's intelligence delivery pattern has changed." Being mastered by others, such as the departure time of the raptor, flight route, rest areas along the way, etc. If the other party can intercept it once, it can intercept it countless times in the future. I think this is why Lingxu City is anxious to find out this matter s reason."

What is worse than the leakage of intelligence content is the leakage of the method of transmitting intelligence.

"But Fu Shanji didn't manage it until he died." He Lingchuan squinted at him, "With his resources and connections, we can't find out. Do you think it's easy for me to handle it?"

Fushan stared at him more and more, speechless. I mentioned the commission in an understatement, how did this guy deduce it!

After a while, he said: "How did you come up with this?"

"Actually, it's very simple." He Lingchuan smiled, "Your father is still angry. What kind of good task can be entrusted to you at this time?"

We must learn to grasp the main contradiction.

Fu Shanyue's eyes shone brightly and he clapped his hands: "Okay, okay, you are smart, you are powerful, so you have to do this job! Let's do this, double the Xuanjing, and I will give you two more pounds of white distilled silver. You are not Do you have a bronze man with golden armor? Do you want to upgrade it?"

White distilled silver is one of the necessary materials for upgrading the Golden Armored Bronze Man. He Lingchuan finally cheered up a little: "The materials I just gave you are too few. You should also cover the rest."

As soon as Fu Shanyue calculated the account, his back felt numb: "You have a bigger appetite than me!"

Brothers have to settle accounts openly, not to mention that these two are just plastic buddies? After some ruthless bargaining, it was finally decided that Fu Shanyue needed to raise three materials, all of which were difficult for the Golden Armored Bronze Man to upgrade and were rare items that even the rich could not buy.

Not to mention that He Lingchuan has no money now.

If he had to raise it himself, he would have to run out of business just to find the materials, let alone buy them... In Chiyan Country, white distilled silver is not for sale at all!

This is an important strategic material. The output in Chiyan is very small. Every output is taken away by the demon king or the national teacher. It is not circulated among the people and is extremely rare even in the black market.

If a stranger from He Lingchuan wanted to get it here, it would be extremely difficult. He even suspected that this thing was not easy to buy in Bega.

Liu Gongcao from Panlong City was right. The full name of this thing is the Golden Armor Bronze Man Technique.

Of course, it would be different with Fushan Yue helping.

He Lingchuan raised a finger: "I have one last condition."

"That's enough!" Fu Shanyue, who had a bad temper to begin with, pulled his face and said, "Don't push yourself too far!"

"Don't worry, this is a piece of cake for you." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "Remember the dragon pattern we saw in the illusion of Thousand Stars City? It's the one painted outside the official residence."
