After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1351 Leisure Chapter

Chapter 1351 Gossip
"Our new regent has been the imperial tutor in Beiga for 150 to 160 years. When it comes to experience in being an official, I'm afraid that all of us combined cannot catch up with her."

"You're really good at making money, one trick after another."

The oldest person present is no older than 45, and has served in office for no more than 25 years.

They were all so-called "official businessmen" who were engaged in government-run business. They had some complaints about the regent interfering in their business. He Lingchuan glanced at Fan Shuang, who was all smiles and occasionally interjected.

Then He Lingchuan understood that this topic could be discussed.

But he didn't interrupt and just acted as a qualified listener.

He knew that whenever the Yao people talked about Qingyang, the topic would always end up coming back to him.

Sure enough, after everyone had been complaining for a long time, Yuwen Xu gave He Lingchuan a thumbs up: "Brother He is really graceful."

They were all denouncing Qingyang, but He Lingchuan didn't add insult to injury.

He Lingchuan then smiled slightly: "I am fascinated by what you are saying. You are worthy of being Qingyang. Whether you are the state teacher or the regent, you are impressive."

Fan Shuang immediately responded: "Brother He was investigating the immortality medicine case in Lingxu City, but he was under great pressure from Qingyang State Master!"

He Lingchuan corrected: "Strictly speaking, the Immortality Medicine Case was supervised by Bai Ziqi, the Baidu Envoy, in Lingxu City. I was just a spectator at that time."

"Steady, really steady!" Gu Xuan also praised He Lingchuan, "Brother He is not complacent and is not arrogant."

"This is the truth. I dare not deceive you."

Yuwen Xu was curious: "Brother He, have you ever met Qingyang Imperial Master? Has she ever put pressure on you?"

The upper-class nobles of Yao State had also heard about the elixir of life case back then; but it was not until Qingyang came to Yao State and took office as regent that they began to investigate the details of the elixir of life case.

"Yes." He Lingchuan also told the truth, "Prince Chiyan and I visited the Tianling Ke family, and we met Master Qingyang in the Ke family's garden. We had a brief conversation. Master Qingyang was extraordinary, and when he looked at me, I felt very insignificant."

Everyone looked at each other.

Isn't it? They felt the same way when they saw Qingyang Regent.

This woman was full of the majesty of a superior. When she and King Yao stood in the same temple, the auras of both of them were simply...

When everyone thought of this, they all sighed.

"Master Qingyang told me that I was very lucky to have survived the case of the elixir of immortality."

Everyone exclaimed "wow" and felt the same way.

A deep chill.

Gu Xuan couldn't help but ask, "I remember that Brother He seemed to have been attacked before?"

"Well, the inn where Prince Chiyan and I stayed was suddenly bombed to the ground." He Lingchuan drank a glass of wine to calm his nerves. "If I had returned to my room ten minutes earlier, I wouldn't be sitting here drinking with you all."

"Brother He is not only courageous, but also very lucky." Everyone toasted him, "Come on, this is what it means when the time comes, heaven and earth will work together."

The court of Yao State was suppressed by Qingyang so much that they particularly liked to hear the story of Qingyang's failure in the case of the elixir of life.

He Lingchuan accurately grasped their psychology and leaked some details of the immortality medicine case intentionally or unintentionally. Those were secrets that ordinary nobles in Lingxu City could not hear, and those present certainly had never heard of them, so their gossiping spirits burned fiercely, fearing that they would miss a word.

Topics of conversation, topics of conversation, these are all new topics of conversation after returning home!
He Lingchuan finished talking about seven or eight details in one breath, and drank to moisten his throat. There was silence for a moment, and Yuwen Xu clapped his hands and said, "It's really enjoyable! If we were in Lingxu City at that time, we could have experienced this whirlpool in person!"

He Lingchuan thought to himself, there were so many nobles in Lingxu City at that time, but few of them really understood the mystery of the case.

The soul-catching mirror in his arms laughed loudly: "That's easy for you to say! How could these Yao people know how deep the water is!"

It is the one who has witnessed the whole process.

It knew that this matter was a storm from beginning to end!

That man-eating whirlpool was so huge that Xiao Chuanzi was able to go in and out alive. It was really a blessing from the ghost town!
Everyone toasted He Lingchuan again, and Yuwen Xu smiled and said, "I am Wang Shoudian, Brother He must come! You don't know how many people in Yao country are lining up to meet you."

He Lingchuan could only say, "I'll try my best." He then talked about something else to deal with the issue, and the topic came to an end.

Gu Xuan said, "Recently, a group of people appeared in the west. They wore black armor and masks and always killed people at night. I heard about it three times. Even the famous ogre Zhao Guangzhi was killed."

This topic immediately aroused the interest of others: "More than that? I've heard of it five times."

"No, six times. By the way, what's so great about killing Zhao Guangzhi? He is a cannibal, he is a leader, but the surrounding forces dare not touch him, isn't it because he is from Luodian?"

Gu Xuan said, "There were only a few dozen black-armored soldiers, but they beat the Zhao army into a panic and captured Zhao Guangzhi alive. They fought all the way back from Shizhoutou to Liuping, cooked Zhao Guangzhi in a pot, and distributed him to the civilians to eat."

"That's exactly what those barbaric tribesmen would do!"

"I heard it was nine times." Yuwen Xu made the decision, "My second housekeeper just came back from Liu County and said that the team of black-armored soldiers killed the owner of Green Villa, and his second son was also killed. The two heads were hung side by side on the gate of the villa."

The other Yao people thought for a long time: "Green Villa? I seem to have some impression of it."

Gu Xuan asked curiously, "What evil things has this Green Villa done that the black-armored soldiers are going to look for it?"

Another noble family member, Jing Yuanxun, often argued with him, and he did not miss the opportunity: "How do you know that it is against the will of heaven and earth?"

"You haven't been out of the house recently, so you should have heard some gossip. The deeds of this team of black-armored soldiers have been widely spread in the west recently, and even people in our country have begun to discuss it. The leader is called the Nine Nether Emperor by the common people. It is said that he punishes evildoers. Not only does he skin and behead them, but he also takes the evildoers back to the Nine Nether to continue to be punished."

Jing Yuanxun laughed loudly: "Those ignorant villagers would kneel down and worship a broken statue on the roadside for a long time. In the past, there were people who worshipped the Ghost King Xuanlu. The Emperor Jiuyou? Hahaha, Brother Gu, you won't believe it, right?"

He Lingchuan took a sip of wine and said, "What is the Nine Nether Emperor? He is just a man. Why should a man who is upright and honest hide his head and show his tail?"

He said righteously: "I hate those scoundrels who hide their heads and tails and have hidden intentions the most in my life!"

Jing Yuanxun applauded He Lingchuan: "Yes, yes, I really like what you said. That's just a person! They are just a group of people pretending to be gods. And the Nine Nether Emperor, it really makes me laugh to death!"

Some people were dissatisfied: "Hey, what is there on the Shining Gold Plain? There are temples everywhere. Where there are gods, there are ghosts. There is the Ghost King Xuanlu in front and the Emperor Jiuyou in the back. I don't find it strange at all. Oh, I also heard that some civilians have seen the true face of the black-armored man, and he really looks like an evil ghost."

"Whether you are a human or a ghost, why do you meddle in other people's business?" Yu Wenxu pondered, "You say, they have already conquered Liuping, why don't they take it and give it to others?"

Everyone is fighting for the Golden Plains. After so many years of turmoil, isn't it all about territory, population and resources?
How can you not want the territory you have conquered?

"I don't like it." Jing Yuanxun picked up a pickled plum, using the sweet and sour taste to counteract the fishy smell of the seafood. "How can Liuping be considered a good place? Zhao Guangzhi has occupied it for more than two months, robbing people and eating them. What else can be left? What's the difference between it and an empty city?"

"If this group of people conquers Chigu, if they conquer your family's Weiyin production area, and if they conquer your family's Cibao—" He even paused and explained to He Lingchuan, the outsider, "The large area west of Cibao is fertile and is the major granary in southern my country—do you think this group of men in black will not want it?"

"Why not?" Gu Xuan liked to argue with him, "Do you know how many troops are needed to defend these places? How long would it take for just a few dozen people to ride from the east to the west of Zburg?"

"He only brought a few dozen people with him. How do you know he doesn't have a large army of Nine Netherworlds under his command? The number of people could be several thousand or even tens of thousands?"

Seeing that they were about to enter the stage of mindless argument, Fan Shuang quickly stepped out to smooth things over: "What do you think about the origin of this black-armored soldier?"

"They were able to defeat Zhao Guangzhi's army, no matter what method they used. A few dozen defeated thousands, which is enough to show that their individual combat power is extraordinary and the quality of the individual soldiers is very high. But the corresponding management and logistics requirements are also very high." Yuwen Xu pondered, "None of us have joined the army, so we don't know how difficult it is. I asked my brother, such elite soldiers are not easy to train, and the army is only one in a hundred, so these dozens of people are at least selected from thousands of troops."

He took a sip of wine to moisten his throat, and then continued, "The army he is talking about is not the cannon fodder randomly recruited from the countryside, but an army that has won battles, killed people, and licked blood. For example, it is like selecting one out of a hundred from the army of a heavy-duty general."

Fan Shuang said to He Lingchuan: "His elder brother Yuwen Yong is a very famous general in our country and has won many battles."

He Lingchuan nodded. Even the generals of Yao State knew about it, so of course the upper echelons of Yao State also knew about the existence of the Black Armor Army and had made an assessment of it.

Here he is one person on the surface and another in the back. On the surface, he is the kind and benevolent owner of Yangshan Island, but in the back, he is the black-armored leader who kills without blinking an eye and punishes evil. And these two identities have officially stepped onto the stage of the Shining Gold Plain and plunged into the chaos.

There was no way out for him.

Everyone was a little surprised: "That means, the 'Nine Nether Emperor' has at least several thousand troops behind him, and they are all well-trained?"

"It is very likely so. Without a base number, it is difficult to select the vanguard." Yuwen Xu added, "My brother said that although there are many different forces in the central and western parts of the Shining Gold Plain, there are actually only a handful of forces that can form such a team."

Fan Shuang smiled and said, "Count on your fingers? Then count for us."
