Chapter 397 The Taste of Conspiracy

Chapter 397 The Taste of Conspiracy

The businessmen had no objection after hearing this.These missions are all foreign ministers, as long as they are within the territory of Baoshu Country, the guards are obliged to their personal safety.

"Are they in such a hurry to go back?"

"Who knows?" Xu Dongdong shrugged, "I only know that Baixiang Kingdom is because the distance is too far. Last time, on my king's 750th birthday, Baixiang Kingdom sent a Demoiselle Crane to celebrate his birthday. It is said that it took seven or eight days to fly one way. The presents are so many and heavy that the Crane Demon can't carry them, so it will take at least [-] or [-] days to transport them by land."

There are guards clearing the way ahead, even if the emperor just passed by, no unsightly robber would dare to come out.

The road was very peaceful, and soon passed Fanshiyu.

Reaching this landmark means officially leaving the outer suburbs of Fufeng City.Xu Dongdong could only be sent here, and immediately bid farewell to He Lingchuan and others, and went back home.

"I hope to be able to work with Brother He in a few months."

……

Go back for a few days, no problem.

He Lingchuan was always on guard, but seeing that the road ahead was getting wider and wider, and there were more and more business travelers on the road, it was clear that everything was peaceful and safe.

He was a little disappointed.

If the journey has been going smoothly like this, how should he count the Spirit Seed?
Muddy water is good for fishing.

Counting the time, the mission of the Shanyu Kingdom should have already set off for the east under the escort of Fufeng City.That guy Fu Shanyue wants to complete the task, so he should also follow him, right?

Then part ways with the guards going north, and my group should not meet Fu Shanyue.

Fu Shanyue has a way of killing snakes, and he doesn't know whether the big python in Shanyu country is dead or alive.

In the past few days, He Lingchuan secretly devised a plan, but failed to find a suitable way to capture the spirit seed.

The soul-absorbing mirror suggested to the master: "Why don't we try to see if the leader of the guard can look in the mirror. As long as the soul-absorbing is successful, he can take the initiative to donate seeds."

He Lingchuan vetoed it straight away: "It's a beautiful idea, they have the power to protect them. You were able to fascinate Wu Jinsong and others because they were far away from their homeland and their resistance was too weak."

The Spirit Seed Guards are protected by Yuanli, and they are quite resistant to magical powers, poisons, and curses, and even partially resist attacks from warriors.

It is not impossible to capture their souls, but it is possible to succeed only if they are weak and their morale is low.After all, Yuanli is not omnipotent.

In the current situation, it is definitely impossible to force it. He is not superior in terms of numbers and force.

Then, start stealing?

The spirit seed has strong vitality and cannot be placed in the storage ring.Therefore, unless the guard has the mustard seed hiding technology of Songyang Mansion, the captain can only hide it on himself.

But this person is very aware of the importance of the spirit seed, and there are five or six guards around him at all times, so how easy is it to steal it?
If you send eyeball spiders to steal, well, it seems that you can think of a way.

So where is the best place to start?

At this time, the crops on both sides of the official road are dwindling, and there is no longer the beautiful scenery of wheat ears swaying in the wind.Instead, grasslands and tundra gradually increased, and rocky cliffs began to play a leading role.

He Lingchuan often walks on the Chipa Plateau, knowing that this is a transitional landform from a plain to a plateau, which shows that the altitude is getting higher and higher.

Master Shi Er also introduced that the team was indeed walking on the plateau.The ground here is at least 80 feet higher than Fufeng City, and it will go higher and higher in the future.

This can be seen from the gradual sparseness of vegetation.

After that, the scene of Cangliao, where the mountains are juxtaposed like dragons and a tree leans against the setting sun, is no surprise.

This place is called the Gale Tundra.

Although they are both plateaus, they are completely different from the Chipa Plateau. The latter has warm water vapor and a pleasant climate. It is a paradise for flowers, plants, fruits and vegetables. As the name suggests, the Gale Tundra is a place where strong winds howl all year round. It is remarkable that the turf can catch the cracks in the ground Already, few delicate crops can grow here.

The official road winds like a dragon among the mountains, sometimes lying on a high ridge.

Pedestrians look to both sides, thousands of hills and hills.

Even so, the official road on the mountain road is wide and flat, and guardrails are installed on both sides to prevent pedestrians from falling, which is very considerate.

The further the team advances, the higher the altitude and the lower the temperature.

Fast forward to the June weather, and the branches of the trees are covered with frost in the early morning.

Looking at the high mountains, the snow caps will not melt all year round.

The human beings began to breathe out white steam, and the Shimen caravan was very experienced, so they quickly took out cotton clothes and distributed them.

There are very few villages and towns on this plateau, only one every seventy or eighty miles, not as scattered as on the plain.The team must allocate time reasonably so as not to miss the spot.

Fortunately, the guards are more thoughtful than others, so you just need to follow them and not fall behind, don't worry.

On this day, the team arrived at Heiyanzhai before nightfall, and finally had a sheltered place to sleep.

Heiyan Village was originally a small village with more than a hundred people, but as this business route matured and prospered, it became a service area on the official road and became bigger and bigger.Now there are more than 800 permanent residents here, and most of them provide services for passing business travelers for a living.

The openness has the advantage of being open, and the place can be covered at will.There are more than 300 wooden houses in Heiyanzhai, including single-door houses and bunk houses that can accommodate 30 to [-] people, which can accommodate guards, missions and caravans.

The only problem is that everything is expensive.

He Lingchuan can understand that accommodation is expensive and meals are expensive.After all, there is a shortage of grain here, and [-]% of it depends on foreign transportation.

But there is a charge even for squatting in the pit. It can be said that eating, drinking, and lassing are all paid for——

Heiyanzhai firmly controls the only water source within a [-]-mile radius, fearing that people will pollute it, and will never allow it to be solved anywhere.

He Lingchuan and Shi Erdang sat in the restaurant to eat, and immediately found the feeling of eating in the school cafeteria back then.

This is the largest restaurant in Heishizhai, and there are at least three to four hundred diners.

The caravan chooses to eat here because the food is good and affordable, and places with a lot of people are always warmer.

The guys in the caravan can only eat a hot yam egg here, which is amazing with a bowl of hot noodle soup.Shi Erdang's family and He Lingchuan ordered mutton blood sausage soup to warm up. They served buns stuffed with miscellaneous mushrooms. There was not even shredded meat in it, but the taste was actually good.

After traveling long distances all day, the two were snoring and enjoying their food, but saw three guards coming from behind, also went to the food stall to pack, all they wanted were good meat and meat.

He Lingchuan recognized that these were all members of the Spirit Seed Guard, as if they were of a lower rank in the team, and they always gave food to the chief.

He listened carefully, sure enough.

One of them complained: "These envoys have hands and feet, why do they ask us to work for them every day?"

Another guard said with a smile: "Who said you have hands and feet, the envoy of Suluo Kingdom..."

"Shh!" The third person was more serious, "There are too many people, don't arrange things randomly."

The person who spoke first gave a chuckle: "Is there anything that other people can't hear? The emissary of the Chiyan Kingdom hides his head and reveals his tail. He hides in the house every time he stays overnight. Is he a gecko or a mountain ghost? Can't he see the light?"

The second person yawned, with a tired look on his face: "We have to test the poison after we go back from cooking. You said if they are worried, why don't you come to cooking?"

They left after eating. Master Shi Er took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun and said, "I have talked with the envoys of the Suluo Kingdom, but I have only met the envoys of the Chiyan Kingdom twice. He does not appear in public. It is said that the carriage and residence There are guards guarding it, and no one is allowed to come near."

At this time, a fellow rushed in from outside, with a serious expression, he reported to Master Shi Er:

"The news came back from the front: Pingshan rockslide two days ago, and the official road has collapsed. It will take at least half a month to repair it."

The so-called rock avalanches are landslides.It is not uncommon to see mountains standing tall on the plateau.

It is not easy to repair bridges and roads on the plateau.Master Shi Er frowned: "It's impossible for us to wait here for fifteen or six days. Go and find out how the guards get there. I guess [-]% of them will turn around and take Fengmo Mountain."

He stared at He Lingchuan for a moment, "Hey, brother He, what are you laughing at?" He also smiled happily.

"It's nothing." He Lingchuan coughed lightly, "Where is Fengmo Mountain?" Listening to the name, this place has a story.

Most importantly, he seemed to smell a hint of conspiracy.

Otherwise, why didn't Pingshan collapse sooner or later, but collapsed at this juncture?
It's good to have a conspiracy, it can help him muddy the water.

"Seven years ago, Ping Mountain suddenly collapsed and the terrain deformed, so the authorities could open an official road leading to the north from here. Before that, everyone had to take Fengmo Mountain, which was the only way to go north." Shi Er The master smiled and said, "Don't listen to the name, it's actually very safe. The Shimen caravan has passed by at least four or five times. The scenery there is very beautiful. If we can arrive before sunrise tomorrow morning, you will be lucky."

The old man of the restaurant happened to come over to collect the dishes, he raised his head and said with a smile, "I came from that place of Fengmo Mountain. I used to gather herbs on the mountain in the early years, and I came here only after my back leg broke."

He Lingchuan saw that he was limping a little, so he grabbed a dozen copper coins and gave him: "Old man, please bring me two more baskets of fried buns."

The old man also sells pan-fried buns, which taste good and have a lot of oil, but they are a bit expensive, and the pawns are not willing to buy them.

The old man grinned, two teeth missing: "Good!"

He took two fried buns when he turned around, and they were almost overflowing: "I'll give you two more."

"Tell me about Fengmo Mountain." The locals know more than Shi Erdao.

"That's my hometown, the wind is stronger than here, but the mountain produces snow lotus and topaz ginseng, which are very expensive medicinal materials. We can't grow these. We collected herbs for a living when we were young."

"Topaz ginseng is really outrageously expensive." The auxiliary medicine for refining Baishan pills has this taste, and one that is not as long as the index finger costs ten taels of silver.

Harvested under the harsh natural environment, the price is not cheap.

The old man murmured: "Fengmo Mountain was originally the territory of the Misty Sect of Immortal Sect, but later it became a Taoist sect and did not change its name. This Taoist sect itself is not very special, but it has raised a very powerful monster called 'Fengmo' , often going down the mountain to do evil, destroying houses and sweeping away the living."

"Fengmo from Fengmo Mountain?"

 From January 1st to 1th, the event will be doubled. I implore everyone to make a guaranteed monthly ticket and vote for "Xianren" tomorrow.
