Chapter 1633: 6 6
King Yao looked at her unhappily and said:
"Qiu Long——"
He and Qingyang were almost at odds, and he could ignore Qingyang's request, but he could not neglect the envoy sent by Beijia who expressed his dissatisfaction.
To neglect the superior envoy is to neglect the Bega.
Qiu Long stepped out sideways.
"Send an order to summon the main persons in charge of the Tianshui East Expansion Project to the palace." King Yao emphasized, "Now!"
Envoy Bega was demanding justice, so he had to give it on the spot.
Even if we can't find it tonight, we must do enough work on the surface.
King Yao subconsciously looked at Qingyang and saw that her expression was calm but there was a gleam in her eyes.
This old woman gave her a good angle to attack her, tsk!
Who would seek revenge on Qingyang at this time? Could it be that the explosion was a self-torture trick she had set up?
However, she brought this upon herself!
King Yao sneered in his heart.
……
He Lingchuan and Zhao Song drank for an unknown period of time. As the sun was setting, a few riders came hurriedly. The leading palace eunuch shouted:
"My king orders He Xiao to come to the palace to meet you immediately!"
The palace eunuch's surname was Yu. Zhao Song recognized him. He Lingchuan frequently visited the palace, so he was already familiar with him. He immediately responded and asked, "Sir Yu, who else was in the regent's carriage at that time?"
"The messenger from Bega was injured in the explosion."
It turns out that there is a foreign envoy from Beijia on the carriage. This is a diplomatic incident of varying magnitude and King Yao has to deal with it.
He Lingchuan thought for a moment and asked, "Besides me, who else was summoned?"
This is inquiring. Lord Yu coughed lightly and said, "You live the farthest away. You are the last one."
What this means is that there were indeed quite a few officials summoned into the palace.
Come to think of it, the regent and the special envoy sent by Bega were nearly killed. This is a big deal. How could the person in charge of the Tianshui Eastward Expansion Project stay out of it?
He Lingchuan smiled bitterly: "I smell too much of alcohol, it's really rude to meet you like this, I'll go back and wash and change clothes, and then I'll go to the palace!"
Both Yu and Zhao had no objection.
The palace is an important place, so who has to change clothes before entering to show respect?
He Lingchuan hurried back to his yard, and just as he entered the main house, the wooden door slammed shut.
This is normal, and the owner of the estate wants to maintain his privacy.
Zhao Song waved and made a few gestures to the palace guards, and several people dispersed around the courtyard to prevent He Xiao from jumping over the wall and escaping.
In fact, he had stepped up his guard since last night and also placed personnel on the outer wall of Yongquan Villa for secret surveillance.
The windows of the main house had been closed long ago. As soon as He Lingchuan entered, the remaining Yang Shan guards gathered around him.
The others had left in batches earlier, and they were the last few.
The Soul Mirror laughed and said, "That explosion in Youhu Lake, was it the signal you were waiting for?"
"That's right." He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows. "Qingyang is really decisive. He advanced the time so much!"
"Wait a minute, you said Qingyang blew himself up?" Mirror coughed. This dishonest owner had just told Zhao Song that he didn't know who did it.
"I have no evidence, so I'll just make a guess." He Lingchuan spread his hands, "It wasn't me who blew it up, and it probably wasn't the work of King Yao either - he was so hesitant - and he had to choose the main entrance to the Tianshui East Expansion Project. The most likely possibility is that she did it herself."
"Why did she do this?" Mirror was puzzled. "Is she trying to learn the trick you used in Lingxu City, where the thief cried thief?"
He Lingchuan followed Bai Ziqi to Lingxu City to serve as a witness in the case of the immortality medicine. However, Fu Shanyue's backer was not strong enough, so he was worried that Qingyang would attack him, so he took the initiative and blew up the inn where he stayed, attracting the attention of half the city.
In this way, Qingyang would not be able to plot against him again.
Is this trick effective? Judging from the subsequent events, it is effective, and his concerns are also reasonable. Qingyang State Master has killed many people in order to silence them.
If his inference was correct, why did Qingyang blow herself up? How would this help her plan?
He Lingchuan could only shake his head.
"It seems that as soon as she received the news that Shi Songwei was arrested, she decided to launch the attack ahead of schedule?"
"Shi Songwei's public arrest means that the Xinhe Shi family is completely exposed! It's only a matter of time before they implicate Bai Tan." He Lingchuan smiled softly, "Bai Tan refused to enjoy the wealth and glory of his family and insisted on rebelling, which means he has a heavy responsibility and plays a major role in this operation. Now that the arrow has been shot, there is no turning back, Qingyang has no choice but to do it."
Why did Shi Songwei come to Tianshui City? Why did he rush out of Shuangshan Inn and yell so loudly that everyone knew about it?
Of course, that was He Lingchuan's doing.
He Lingchuan recognized from Gulin of Tonglinji that the Kongbao Chamber of Commerce that robbed grain in the southwest was related to the Xinhe Shi family. He became very interested and sent people to dig deep into the inside story. It took him two months to sort out the information, and he used a big business to lure Shi Songwei to Tianshui City.
He always felt that this move might come in handy and it would be better to be prepared.
Sure enough, it came in handy this time.
When the palace guards went to Frost Mountain Inn to arrest Shi Songwei, this man had actually been controlled by Wang Fubao's "Mind and Shadow Transmission" technique.
This magical power can temporarily turn a living person into a puppet, and the controller can control their words and actions for a short period of time, but they cannot do complicated tasks, such as fighting with people.
This is the magic that He Lingchuan learned from Xi Yunhe, and then taught it to Wang Fubao and others.
Why let Shi Songwei shout in the street?
The Frost Mountain Inn is fully booked, and the neighbors are either rich or noble. Qingyang and his men are about to take action, so they are of course very alert to any disturbance in the city.
There is a high probability that Shi Songwei's shouting will be recorded by someone with ulterior motives, and after several twists and turns, it will be heard by Qingyang.
If she didn't receive the news in a short time, he would have to find a way to let her know.
It can be said that this time the reporting and arrest of Shi Songwei was basically a "show" for Qingyang. He Lingchuan must let her find out that the Xinhe Shi family has been exposed!
As long as he does this, his encouragement will be effective.
Tianshui City was destined to spend a chaotic, crazy and bloody night.
As the key person to accelerate all this, He Lingchuan also has to carry out his second step plan.
"Bring that fellow here."
At his command, Wanqi Feng brought a man out from the attic.
This was the palace guard Han Zheng who sneaked into Dong Rui's cellar last night. After he reported to Zhao Song, He Lingchuan sent someone to arrest him, locked him in the magic weapon "Xili Dongtian", and brought him into He Lingchuan's main house.
"Xi Li Dong Tian" can carry a living creature and move with it, and it is highly concealed.
It was originally one of He Lingchuan's backup plans for leaving. He Lingchuan prepared several evacuation plans, but now he has a better idea.
He Lingchuan's room was soundproofed, so he didn't expect the man to yell. He asked Han Zheng, "Have you memorized all the formulas?"
While Han Zheng was tied up in the attic, guard Yang Shan placed a piece of paper in front of him and asked him to memorize the formula on it.
If you don’t memorize it well, you will be beaten.
So Han Zheng nodded repeatedly: "I've memorized it."
The melon is overripe.
After all, the formula is not long, and he only does this one thing throughout the day.
"You can either die here immediately or have your life shortened by three years. What do you choose?"
Han Zheng understood the content of the formula and quickly said, "For the second one, I choose to reduce my lifespan by three years."
He Lingchuan then took out a fine copper talisman plate, embedded a piece of light red black crystal in the hollow in the middle, and then put it in his hand:
"let's start."
Han Zheng straightened his mind and began to chant the mantra.
The formation on the bronze talisman gradually lit up, but his expression became somewhat listless.
But he didn't dare to be negligent and still gritted his teeth and persevered.
Then, the glowing formation suddenly broke away from the bronze talisman and hovered around it.
"Very good, it started successfully."
The other Yangshan guards have moved the tables and chairs here and cleared out a space.
He Lingchuan took the talisman board and slammed it on the ground.
With the landing point as the center, the formation suddenly enlarged, and the ground within a radius of two meters was quickly covered with complex patterns.
Small mountain-moving formation, open it!
This set of two fine copper array talismans was a trophy seized by He Lingchuan from He Jing, the Cloud Envoy of the Heavenly Palace. It is an advanced version of the ordinary small mountain-moving array, and its effective transmission range reaches an astonishing three miles!
The other bronze array talisman was hidden in a forest three miles north of Yongquan Villa.
Moreover, this formation was carefully engraved on a copper talisman in advance, so there was no need to draw it hastily when using it. All you had to do was add in the black crystal and recite the incantation to activate it.
Of course, the amount of life span it deducts is also less, only three years; the small mountain-moving formation that Fu Shanyue used back then had an effective distance of only over a hundred feet, but it consumed five years of life span!
"Come on."
Lingguang jumped onto He Lingchuan's shoulder, and everyone walked into the formation.
Wanqi Liang grabbed the captives, and the last couple left.
There was another flash of light in the room, and both the people and the talisman array disappeared.
……
Zhao Song sat in the pavilion in the yard and waited, but the door was still closed and there was no sign of it opening.
He Xiao's "change clothes" has two meanings. It could be a euphemism for squatting, or it could really mean changing clothes.
Of course, it is also possible to squat in the toilet, change clothes and then come out.
The famous families in Tianshui City would keep orchids and fragrant musk deer in their thatched houses, and have a few servants standing outside. Every time the host and the guest went in, they had to change their clothes when they came out.
So Zhao Song waited patiently for a while before he stepped forward and rang the doorbell: "He Island Master?"
It was quiet inside.
Huh? Zhao Song gathered his strength, knocked on the door and shouted twice.
Still no answer.
He knew something was wrong, so he kicked hard with his left leg.
With a bang, the door was kicked open.
The palace guards followed him into the house, but there was no one there.
Zhao Song's face turned pale:
"Disperse and search!"
No corner is left untouched!
Everyone went around in circles and returned to where they started, all shaking their heads:
There was no one in the main house.
Where is He Xiao?
Where have those Yangshan guards gone?
They also searched the yard and found it clean and no trace of any formation.
How did He Xiao and others manage to leave this heavily guarded villa?
Zhao Song clenched his fists, his heart sinking to the bottom: "Oh no, he escaped!"
