After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1089 Old Scenery in the Painting
The soul-catching mirror wondered: "Why do you smile so happily?"

It was rare to see He Lingchuan laughing like this.

"You don't understand! My chess game is alive!" He Lingchuan smiled broadly. "I am safe, my aunt and my wife are safe, and the islands are also safe."

Bega would not give him money for nothing, and the so-called "trade route" was probably just a cover.

Fu Shanyue is right. The Yangshan Islands are strategically located. If Bejia can reach here, it will have a closer springboard to contact Yaguo!

The relationship between the Yangshan Islands and the mainland is delicate. Neither Qingguo nor Bailie can control it. It is a natural offshore center.

The more Fushan is stationed here, the more Bega can build an intelligence base here.

Mou Guo's rear intelligence base.

But He Lingchuan is not afraid of this. The Yangshan Islands belong to him and are firmly under his control. If Bega wants to get information from here, it all depends on his eyes!
But thinking of this, He Lingchuan also understood whose handiwork this was:

Shuangye Guoshi.

If he sent someone to do this work in the Yangshan Islands, He Lingchuan would definitely be resistant and defensive, and he might even find a way to drive the "minister" back.

With the way He Lingchuan treated Yu Zecheng, this was not impossible.

However, Imperial Master Shuangye sent Prince Chiyan over, and He Lingchuan could only express his welcome, and a warm welcome.

This guy, Shuangye Guoshi, is really scheming.

After thinking about this, He Lingchuan's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally relaxed.

After dealing with Yu Zecheng, he also wrote a letter to Imperial Master Shuangye with sincere words.

But Grandmaster Shuangye never replied.

In the past few months, Bega has not taken any further action against him, the Yangshan Islands, or the Crypt Spider Demon. Even the wanted order for Zhu Erniang, who is number two on the Heavenly List, has been cancelled. This shows that this great empire does not want to pursue the case in a short time. .

On the day when he learned that Zhu Erniang's arrest warrant had been revoked, he opened several jars of old wine to celebrate.

The islands and him were finally safe for the time being.

But he still didn't know the attitude of Imperial Master Shuangye.

Strictly speaking, the main reason why He Lingchuan dared to attack Yu Zecheng's team and to make Bejia's monsters into dishes for Yu Zecheng to eat, besides being in the rear of Mou State, was that he had a connection with Shuangye Imperial Master. !
Bega wants to pursue him and find out his details, so he may have to involve the Shuangye Imperial Master and touch the case of the elixir of life again.

For his own sake, Imperial Master Shuangye would most likely choose to settle the matter.

In this matter, He Lingchuan took advantage of Shuangye Guoshi. No matter how sincere he wrote, it couldn't change that fact.

So, will Master Shuangye take revenge privately? He Lingchuan has been worried.

If you can’t do it openly, can’t you do it secretly?
He told Lu Qiuwei that Yu Zecheng cannot represent Bejia, and Yu Zecheng's power is not equal to Bejia's power.

But Frostleaf Grand Master can!
Shuangye Imperial Master is the leader of Bejia's four great Imperial Masters. He has huge power and countless capable people under his command.

Yu Zecheng was not even qualified to carry his boots.

A chill ran down He Lingchuan's back at the thought of Imperial Master Shuangye's possible revenge. No matter how many people there are on the Yangshan Islands now, they can't give him any sense of security.

He is the one who knows the methods of Shuangye Guoshi. The opponent is not only powerful, but also patient.

In order to defeat his old enemy, Imperial Master Qingyang, Imperial Master Shuangye could hide Xi Yunhe in the ice for more than ten years, waiting for the right moment to launch a fatal blow.

Not even Qingyang Imperial Master could escape his care. How could He Lingchuan and He De think that he would be spared?

Now, Frostleaf Grand Master finally responded:

He sent Fu Shanyue over.

No matter how many precautions Lingxu City told Fu Shanyue, his arrival itself sent a signal to He Lingchuan:
Imperial Master Shuangye was not angry, nor did he intend to argue with him.

How could He Lingchuan be unhappy after finding out this?

The tolerance of Imperial Master Shuangye was really unexpected. But the king's heart is like the sea, and he has other plans of his own, and He Lingchuan has no way of guessing.

It can only be said that in the Battle of Hurricane Night, the results he obtained from Bega were better than expected.

The biggest worry after the Yu Zecheng incident was gone, and he could take action later.

When he returned to his residence, he opened the painting box and was stunned.

The painting is two square feet, and the content is not the common mountains and flowing water, but woodlands, swamps, and wild deer. The painting skills are excellent, but with just a few strokes, the wild atmosphere of the woods and swamps comes to your face.

But the content of the scroll always felt a bit strange and familiar to He Lingchuan.

The soul-catching mirror shouted: "Look at the signature, look at the seal!"

Hearing this, He Lingchuan unfolded the scroll to the end without signing it. There happens to be a maple tree painted there, and only one leaf is floating where the inscription should be, which is lifelike.

The seal didn't have any words engraved on it, it was just blood red.

"Maple Leaf, Maple Leaf..." He Lingchuan murmured, "Is it the Imperial Master Shuangye?"

The soul-catching mirror was puzzled: "Isn't this a painting given to you by Songyang Mansion?"

"Who is Li Qingge? He has probably been in contact with Qiu Gong since the incident of praise in [-]." Li Qingge, whom he knew, would not let go of such a good opportunity. In the name of Yang Mansion." Why did Imperial Master Shuangye send him a painting?

He Lingchuan thought about it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the little man lying in the grass was very eerie.

This seemed to be a boy of five or six years old, with a big head and a small body. He turned his head and stared at the deer drinking water. Although he was young, he did not have the innocence and romance of ordinary children, which made He Lingchuan feel particularly sinister and sinister.

What's even stranger is that He Lingchuan always felt that his figure and posture looked familiar.

This place in the painting...

He suddenly blurted out: "Devil's Nest Swamp?"

No wonder it looks familiar, this place does look like Zhu Erniang's original residence. There are swamps everywhere, wild deer everywhere, maple trees everywhere, familiar buildings everywhere, and a corner of the Demon's Nest peeking out from behind the trees.

But the trees beside the pit were young and very different from what he had seen.

"Do you want Master Shuangye to tell me that he has insight into my origin?"

Zhu Erniang originally lived in the Devil's Nest Swamp, so the person who made an agreement with her to go to Lingxu City to retrieve the immortal slough for her must have also been to the Devil's Nest Swamp.

This thought really sends chills down my spine.

Did Imperial Master Shuangye remind him not to think that he could be unscrupulous just because he had escaped a disaster?
The soul-catching mirror asked him: "What about this kid in the painting?"

What is the purpose of drawing a little man?
He Lingchuan shook his head in confusion.

Could it be that the mantis stalks the cicada?
So in the eyes of Imperial Master Shuangye, who is the little deer and who is the villain?
"Anyway, I finally get rid of this heavy worry." He Lingchuan rubbed his hands, unable to hold back, "In one month at most, our team will be reorganized and trained. Then, we can start the next step of the plan! "

Including the newly joined Bailong soldiers, the number of Yangshan Guards is now close to [-]. This number is already very prominent among small countries. If Bailie and Qingguo next door knew that he had so many people, they wouldn't be able to sleep well at night.

What's more, the combat effectiveness of this army is increasing day by day. It is completely different from when it was first formed nine months ago. It even has ready-made powerful warriors like the Bailong people joining it.

The master of the island has already hardened up. He has had enough of the busy but peaceful island life.

It’s time to stir up trouble.

So what’s the next step? The soul-capturing mirror asked tentatively: "Bailie?"

"Yes!" Isn't the fundamental reason why he strives to develop admiration for goodness just to sit south and look north? Now, it's time to take Bailie into your pocket. "Yangshan's business is on the right track. Although population, commerce, and farming are all progressing steadily, it is difficult to expect another explosive growth like in the early days."

The Yangshan Islands are steadily improving. Others are jealous, but He Lingchuan feels that it is too slow to increase their strength.

Especially the population.

Since the Yangshan Islands have expanded aggressively to recruit people, surrounding countries and forces have issued relocation restrictions to prevent local people from moving to Yangshan.

There are currently only 13 people living in the Yangshan Islands, and more than 4 of them are Bailong people.

He Lingchuan's biggest headache was where to get so many people.

Once Bailie is captured, this problem will naturally be solved, and his strength will usher in another round of explosive growth.

He had been coveting this big piece of fat Bailie for a long time, and was always thinking about how to swallow it.

The soul-capturing mirror yelled: "We are finally going to take action? Are you a little too anxious?"

How long will this owner run Yangshan? Not even two years yet.

"Yes!" He Lingchuan did not deny it.

His relationship with Lingshan and Mou Guo is still in a state of closeness and distance, commonly known as friendship but not iron. Now is not the best time to do it.

But the question is, is there any “best time”?
The stronger the Yangshan Islands are, the more they will become a thorn in the eyes of others. Even if He Lingchuan still wants to hide his strength and bide his time, with such powerful neighbors at his side, which of the neighboring countries should not be wary?

What's more, he still has a calculation in his mind:
Over the past 2000 years or so, the frequent occurrences of emperor's fluids heralded the coming of great chaos.

Dealing with Nailuotian's clone, dealing with Lingshan, and the occasional news from Shi Nan always gave him a sense of crisis and urgency, and also made his desire for power more urgent.

Before the chaos came, would he have time to prepare and accumulate enough strength?

Time is waiting for me.

……

Early the next morning, Fu Shanyue urged He Lingchuan to take him to the evil place. He was impatient.

"Oh, what's the rush?" He Lingchuan was negotiating goods with Fang Canran in Ding Lake. The latter had just shipped a batch of supplies from Platinum Island, including the monster spirits that Qiu Hu had longed for.

This is a great tonic for the ancient demon soul in him.

"Take me and Taozi to open our eyes!" As much as humans long for the paradise of cave heaven, Bao yearns for the land of evil.

Tiger Jiao Yu also followed, yawning and stretching on the ground.

It doesn't like evil spirits, it just comes to join in the fun.

He Lingchuan rubbed its big head, and it felt as good as ever.

At this time, Fu Shanyue sniffed a few times, and looked suspicious at Fang Canran: "Hey, the smell on your body smells familiar. Where have we seen it before?"
