Chapter 1584 Delaying each other
Dong Rui laughed: "I have already arrived at Taoxi and have seen Cao Wendao!"
How could he let the enemy escape right under his nose?
When He Lingchuan heard that he was keeping a close eye on Cao Wenda, he felt relieved.
I'm glad I didn't lose you.
Dong Rui's suggestion seemed to be the best solution. He could sneak underground on the snail toad, without being restricted by Qingyang, and could indeed intercept Cao Wendao.
Next, it depends on who has higher combat power.
He Lingchuan doesn't think that Dong Rui will lose.
Qingyang was at her leisure, just watching He Xiao in a trance, without urging him. She really wanted to buy time for Cao Wendao, because she had hired that guy to kill people, but now he wanted her to cover his escape.
Oh, what is this?
Zhao Song beside him looked at her, then at He Lingchuan, as if thinking about something.
He Xiao was chasing the assassin at night, but Qingyang Regent blocked his way and talked nonsense, obviously not wanting him to go after the murderer.
Sure enough, He Xiao’s judgment was correct. The assassin was sent by Qingyang Regent, right?
Zhao Song had been an official for many years and knew very well when to keep silent.
For example, now, he'd better be a gourd with a sawed edge, and then return to the palace to report to the king.
Dong Rui had already slipped away to Taoxi, so He Lingchuan focused on dealing with the current situation:
"Regent, please speak."
Qingyang was a little surprised that he could be so patient, but he also concentrated and said:
"Snail toad."
After saying these two words, Qingyang stared at He Lingchuan, not missing any subtle expression on his face.
He Lingchuan's heart was shaken, and a chill ran down his spine.
Qingyang is still connected!
The two words "snail and toad" are almost tied to all of He Lingchuan's secrets.
The case of the immortality medicine, the havoc in heaven, the Nine Nether Emperor, the death of Xue Zongwu...
When this term came out of Qingyang's mouth, it was as if He Lingchuan's disguise was suddenly exposed, revealing his secret in public.
Moreover, the fact that Qingyang could say Wochan's name connected him with Shuangye and Xi Yunhe, and all new and old hatreds came to his mind!
But He Lingchuan knew from Qingyang's sudden appearance that she was closely connected with Cao Wendao. Then, the secret that He Xiao had a demon puppet master by his side might not be kept secret.
So he put in his best effort to control his emotions, even his pupils only slightly dilated. On the surface, everything seemed normal, but there was still a bit of confusion:
"what?"
Qingyang looked at him and smiled: "You haven't heard of this thing?"
"I've heard of it. Xi Yunhe's men rode it to hunt monsters in the Chiyan Kingdom. I was the first to discover the raw material for the immortality elixir for the Regent." He Lingchuan said naturally, "When I left Beiga, the whereabouts of this thing was still unknown. What advice does the Regent have?"
The palace guards behind him pricked up their ears to listen to the gossip. Everyone knew that Qingyang was brought down because of the immortality drug case, but only He Xiao and Qingyang, the parties involved, knew the details of the case.
Qingyang knew that this boomerang would definitely hit him, but his face did not change color: "In order to frame me, the traitor Xi Yunhe found a demon puppet master to make a 'snail toad', which has the ability to escape underground on rainy nights."
She raised her hand to catch a thin snowflake in front of her, watching it turn into water droplets in her palm and drip onto the ground.
"For example, the weather tonight is suitable for it to commit crimes."
He Lingchuan was surprised: "Oh? The regent specifically mentioned the snail toad, are you planning to hand it over now?"
Didn't Qingyang want to delay time? Okay, he would talk to her properly.
Anyway, with Zhao Song and hundreds of palace guards by his side, how could Qingyang attack him directly?
This made Qingyang frown slightly, but he still said: "Do you know where the snail toad went later?"
"This is the unsolved mystery of the elixir case." He Lingchuan said seriously, "I thought the regent could help me solve it."
Xi Yunhe, who used to use the alias Mai Xuewen, contacted him secretly and provided clues, but apart from the two of them, only National Master Shuangye knew about this.
Qingyang has no direct evidence and relies entirely on inference.
Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Xi Yunhe is still an accomplice on the run, and the snail toad is still the tool used by the Qingyang gang to commit crimes. Due to the particularity of the case, the immortality drug case has been closed, but the fugitives, events, and objects in this case will still be accepted as long as they are submitted to Lingxu City.
Mentioning the snail toad brought up the past that was too painful to recall, and Qingyang felt uncomfortable. But she still said, "You have investigated the Lingxu City messenger case, and Bai Ziqi trusts your judgment. So in your opinion, where did the snail toad go?"
Looking back on the case later, she found that almost everyone's focus was on Xi Yunhe, Cen Boqing and even Cen Boqing's wife, but they had intentionally or unintentionally ignored the snail toad.
Such a big monster, and no one cares about its whereabouts?
He Lingchuan thought for a moment and said, "After the case was handed over to Envoy Bai Du, I stopped investigating. Judging from the clues at the time, the snail toad should be in Xi Yunhe's hands. They disappeared together."
Good boy, it’s watertight.
He smiled and said, "If the Regent can find Snail Toad, maybe he can also capture Xi Yunhe and put an end to this case, to comfort the soul of the victim in heaven."
He didn't utter a single curse word, but every word was heart-wrenching.
This guy was trying to put the snail toad on the immortality medicine case to challenge Qingyang, who of course knew his purpose. So Qingyang continued his words and said, "I did find some clues, but I am too busy with state affairs to spare any time. Why don't I let Master He investigate, as usual?"
He Lingchuan coughed twice and cleared his throat.
This was a secret signal to Dong Rui through the Eyeball Spider, asking him how things were going.
Dong Rui's voice was as thin as a mosquito: "It's almost time, don't rush it!"
So He Lingchuan continued, "The regent has been found? Where are Wochan and Xi Yunhe hiding?"
Qingyang looked at Zhao Song and others behind him and shook his head: "How can we discuss Beijia's serious case in public? How about you come to Youhu Cottage to find me in three days?"
The Soul Mirror screamed, "As expected of Qingyang, he has taken back the initiative."
Qingyang was not led astray by He Lingchuan. After all, she had no basis in the case of the immortality medicine, which was her biggest stain. So she immediately brought the focus of the topic back to the whereabouts of the snail toad.
"Three days later?" He Lingchuan pretended to hesitate, then rejected her. "Shh - sorry, the eastward expansion project has been very busy recently. There will be an inauguration ceremony for the government office in three days, and both civil and military officials will be present."
Qingyang and Zhao Song were not surprised by his refusal.
What were Zhao Song and his gang sent here for? To prevent Qing Yang from attacking He Xiao. How could He Xiao willingly send himself into the tiger's mouth now?
Qingyang said casually: "It doesn't matter. Since you don't have time, wait for Bai Ziqi to come back and let him handle this matter."
This is the threat that only He Lingchuan can understand: Qingyang intends to tell Bai Ziqi all his suspicions about He Xiao, Wochan, and Emperor Jiuyou!
