After the immortal disappeared

The more I listen to it, the more interesting it becomes. Li Qingge nodded repeatedly, his cheeks flushed.

She always behaved like a member of a well-known family and rarely lost her composure like this.

He Lingchuan gave her a toothy smile: "But there is a problem here. As a party involved in the elixir case, I cannot openly have anything to do with Shuangye Guoshi. Therefore, I cannot go to Nian Zanli in person to make this exchange."

Li Qingge also understood the many twists and turns in the officialdom, and immediately said: "Leave this matter to me. As long as the token given by Shuangye Imperial Master can really mobilize the army, I don't think Nian Zanli cares about the people he trades with. who is it."

She said resolutely: "To be able to get the troop dispatching talisman from Shuangye Imperial Master, the young master has treated me with utmost kindness! I can complete the follow-up of this transaction by myself."

He Lingchuan nodded and took out a token and two letters from his arms.

The token is dark red in color and I don't know what material it is made of. It feels a little soft to the touch and has a frost leaf embossed on it.

The letter is also of the same color, and the seal is stamped in the shape of a frost leaf.

This is the special item of the Frost Leaf Imperial Master that he just brought back from the place where Xi Yunhe told him to go.

This mark seemed a little familiar to him, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

"In a few days, Bejia will have an event in Caohai, and the Zhongsun family will host it. Shuangye Imperial Master will definitely be there." He Lingchuan pointed to these three things and said, "Nian Zanli can go to Shuangye Imperial Master to test them directly. Authenticity.”

No matter how genuine the token is, it is better to have it personally guaranteed by Master Shuangye, so that Nian Zanli will be convinced.

Li Qingge put these three things away, took a deep breath, suddenly left his seat and bowed to He Lingchuan Yingying.

"Thank you, Master."

"Sir, what are you doing?" He Lingchuan stepped forward and put a hand on her elbow. He used just the right amount of force to make Li Qingge unable to bow. "It's not too late to take the bamboo tube back and thank me again. It's not too late to give a New Year's greeting." So honest."

"I have thought of many ways, but I have always suffered from the lack of equivalent bargaining chips, and I dare not approach the New Year's tribute too much." Li Qingge picked up the frost leaf token on the table, "Now that I have this thing in my hand, in the business world In terms of negotiation and means, Xunzhou Mu is not as good as me!"

She smiled confidently: "The good news is that the young master is waiting for me."

But she immediately had the next question: "However, once Nian Zanli borrows soldiers and horses, it will be a huge disaster for Yuan Kingdom, especially Xiazhou will bear the brunt."

"Yes. So you must complete this transaction in the near future and then make the next step."

Li Qingge was moved: "You want..."

He didn't say the next words, but he made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Such a cruel move was somewhat playful when she did it.

He Lingchuan shook his head: "We can't touch him. This is Lingxu City, so we can't make too much noise."

Li Qingge also said: "I have thought about poisoning and curses. But after all, he is a general in charge of the army. Even if he is far away from the army, he still has some energy left in him. These methods are too ineffective for him, and it is easy to scare the snake. .”

He Lingchuan nodded and leaned forward slightly: "Does Nian Zanli have any enemies or rivals in Lingxu City?"

"An enemy or an opponent? He is a foreigner, and he has no real conflicts with the powerful people in Lingxu City." Li Qingge bit his lips and thought carefully, "But... when the Imperial Master Shuangye allocated his energy to pay tribute to Nian, a few of them The elders criticized him particularly hard. Two of them were the auxiliary ministers left by the late emperor. Although they had already become officials, the emperor seemed to want to refer to their opinions. Nian Zanli came to Lingxu City to borrow troops this time, and they also wrote to the emperor, saying Absolutely not. Is this—an enemy?"

"If this can't be counted, then there is nothing to count." He Lingchuan smiled and said, "So Nian Zanli has an industry in Lingxu City?"

"There are two houses, one large and one small, seven shops, and one restaurant..."

He Lingchuan shook his head and interrupted: "Have any been sold recently?"

"Yes." Li Qingge has been paying attention to Nian Zanli's trends and knows a lot about his business activities. "Nian Zanli hired people to lobby the emperor in Lingxu City. The money was spent like running water. The little money he extorted from me It’s simply not enough. He originally owned three houses, but he sold one of them a month ago. He also sold dozens of acres of suburban property, a teahouse, and a chamber of commerce.”

"Where is the house that was sold?"

"It's also in the main city." Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth anything, so Nian Zanli wouldn't have to go to such trouble to sell it.

"Who bought it?"

"A wealthy businessman from out of town bought it and used it as the front of the Chamber of Commerce. He also lived in it. I've been there and there were a lot of people coming in and out." Li Qingge looked at him with interest, "Do you have any ideas?"

"That's right, but the Lord's cooperation is required."

"Go all out." Li Qingge poured him a cup of tea, his long eyelashes fluttering, "What do you want me to do?"

These words are said in a charming and charming way.

He Lingchuan said seriously: "Framing!"

"Um?"

He Lingchuan did not go into details, but changed the topic and said: "By the way, Sir, have you ever heard of 'glazed gold'?"

"Of course." When it came to the professional field, Li Qingge also subconsciously corrected his attitude, "It's transparent, like fine gold when hard, like mercury when soft. It's a high-end product. Ancient immortals used it to refine magic weapons. But The refining materials are very rare now, Songyang Mansion once tried to reproduce it, but failed."

"If you encounter such a magical weapon, device, or structure, is there any way to break it?"

"Breaking?" Li Qingge frowned, "Can you explain it in more detail?"

"Glazed gold is just a shell. I want to take out what's inside." He asked this, which was of course related to the formation eye of the Spirit Gathering Formation.

"Shell? How thick is it?"

"One palm wide." He Lingchuan said, "It can switch freely between liquid and solid states."

"That is the characteristic of glazed gold." Li Qingge thought for a while, "It also depends on who the maker is, what his usual method is, and what proportion of glazed gold is used."

He Lingchuan smiled bitterly: "Is there no way to break it directly?"

Li Qingge rolled his eyes at him: "Why do immortals use it to make utensils? Isn't it so special? Do you want to break it simply?"

"Yes." He Lingchuan rubbed his hands and said, "Sir, can you think of a way?"

This guy just gave her hope of taking back the bamboo tube. How could Li Qingge refuse him? "Let me think twice."

He Lingchuan was overjoyed, and the need to think twice meant that there was at least a glimmer of hope.

"Keep in touch and make long-term plans." He grabbed the cup and drank it in one gulp. "The Pianxiang Villa where I live has been closely watched recently, so please be careful with communications."

The two left one after the other, more than a quarter of an hour apart.

But when He Lingchuan also went downstairs to leave, someone behind the stairs in the teahouse hall looked up at his back, thoughtfully.

This is an interesting location. It is blocked by stairs. People coming in and out usually don't pay attention to this place, but people sitting in the back can see every guest carefully.

If He Lingchuan could look back and see clearly, he would find that this person was Fang Canran.

￥￥￥￥￥

The next day, Fu Shanyue took He Lingchuan to visit the Ke family.

When people moved to Pianxiang Villa, they sent him gifts and invited him to visit him. He was not allowed to reciprocate the courtesy?

Of course, the Ke family lives in the sky, which is Tiantong Island. This is the floating island closest to the emperor, second only to Tianxin Island, and the ultimate residence of human ministers.

If you want to go to heaven, you must first go to Chichan Peak in the center of the lower city and teleport with Jinghong Ferry.

Chican Peak is also a small hill, with an altitude of only a hundred feet. Halfway up the mountain is a giant natural square, the so-called "ferry", but the entrance is narrow and the fortifications are tight, where troops are directly stationed.

There is one sentry every three steps and one post every five steps. Only those holding special tokens can enter. Civilians are not allowed to disturb.

Because the seven islands in the sky and the red peaks on the ground are a set of magic weapons, they have their own transmission method, which is the "Jinghong Crossing".

Different from the teleportation formation that He Lingchuan rode on Tianshu Peak, there are seven stone gates neatly erected in the square of Chichan Peak——

Strictly speaking, there were seven door frames over five feet high. Light blue translucent water waves replaced the door panels. It was also the first time for He Lingchuan to see water waves rippling perpendicular to the ground.

Fu Shanyue said to him: "Each gate corresponds to a floating island."

The name of the island is written on the top of the door frame.

There happened to be a group of people walking onto the square behind them. When they passed through the gate, the carriage and attendants disappeared.

Fu Shanyue had already shown his crown prince token: "Let's go."

After passing through the blue water waves, He Lingchuan felt a slight chill on his body, and the scene in front of him completely changed.

It is convenient, fast, and does not cause any discomfort, unlike riding the teleportation formation on Tianshu Peak, which can cause dizziness.

After all, this is considered the inside of the magic weapon, and the rules are different from the outside world.

When he landed on the island for the first time, He Lingchuan looked around.

It was late autumn, and the autumn wind in Lingxu Lower City was bleak, and the grass and trees were gradually turning yellow. Although the mountains on the outskirts of the city were covered with golden red, the heaven and earth had a chilly air. But when He Lingchuan climbed up to Tiantong Island, he could not feel a trace of coolness, not even the breeze blowing on his face. All have a touch of tide and a light floral fragrance.

This is the smell of spring.

When he turned his head, he saw that the spring flowers on the edge of the square were in full bloom, hanging down from the low wall like a waterfall.

But when he walked out of the Jinghong Ferry on Tiantong Island, he saw real waterfalls and springs cascading down from the peaks, with mountain flowers blooming on both sides and the sound of kites singing.

Fu Shanyue felt very happy every time he saw He Lingchuan's country bumpkin expression: "Tiantong Island is also called the Island of Flowers. There is only spring here. No matter it is severe cold or scorching heat in Xiacheng District, it is warm and cozy up there."

The neighborhoods here are cleaner and smoother than those in the lower city. The roads are even paved with curbs with evenly sized pebbles on both sides. The carriages can hardly feel the bumps caused by the road.

There are sparse grass and trees everywhere, and there are clusters of carefully trimmed flowers everywhere.

Here, there are gardens along the roadside, many of which are precious tree species. There is no need to go to the rich man’s home to see them.

From Jinghongdu, you have to walk a stone beam thirty-three feet long to reach the main part of Tiantong Island.

He Lingchuan was walking on the edge of the stone beam, looking down at the lower part of Lingxu City.

Through the floating clouds, he could see winding streets, row upon row of houses, and a jade-belt-like river.
