After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 488 Eat Chicken Today
Isn't the special envoy of the prince sent by the king and his son?Why do you have to ask him such a question?
Jiao Yu interjected, "The special envoy has just arrived in our country, so he doesn't know much about it."

The connotation of these words was deep, Xiang Yan couldn't make a sound for a while, and he was all about solving the riddle.

He Lingchuan said with a smile: "I'm not from Chiyan. It would be better to have one thing more than one thing less. It was Fu Shanyue who begged me to handle this case."

Stare at the rock.

The prince actually appointed a foreigner as a special envoy to investigate the case. This case is very deep.

After a long time, he said: "In the whole world, only Lingxu City can refine the medicine of immortality."

"So the medicine of immortality in the hands of the demon kings is also given by Lingxu City?" He Lingchuan understood, "And they give it to the heroes?"

Xiang Yan nodded.

"Then where did the refining raw materials come from?" He Lingchuan asked before he could speak, "Xiang Lao has been in Lingxu City for more than ten years, so he must have heard some rumors?"

Xiang Yan opened his mouth, and after a while he smiled wryly: "How can this be spread indiscriminately? Once the source of the rumor is found out, he will be beheaded."

"Didn't you hear a little bit of wind?"

"I only heard that some raw materials of the elixir are bought from abroad. I really don't know the specifics." Xiang Yan said softly, "A treasure like the elixir is very precious even in Lingxu City. Only a few officials You can enjoy it; I was lucky enough to take it because I was appreciated by the gods for my meritorious service back then, otherwise I would never have such a blessing. Just ask Mr. Jiao, how many people in the court have taken the medicine of immortality?"

He Lingchuan looked at Jiao Yu, who shook his head and said, "For more than a hundred years, the monarch has only given 39 of them."

How many officials have there been in the Chiyan Kingdom for more than 160 years?Only 39 of them had ever taken the elixir.

Needless to say, the preciousness of this medicine.

No wonder the old man looked so complacent.It is a great honor to be lucky enough to take the elixir and rank among the 39th!

"Why so few?"

"I heard that medicinal materials are rare."

He Lingchuan remembered what He Lianchen, the great alchemist of Panlong City, said that the elixir has an extremely precious primer: divine blood.

This may not be easy to do.

But no matter how rare other medicinal materials are, can't they get them with Bega's power?
Eighty percent of them still answered those words:

Strange things to live in.

The efficacy of the medicine is so good, and the quantity is so small, those who want it must not rush to kill it?

He Lingchuan rolled his eyes: "Then, who is in the hands of the elixir?"

"Naturally, it's a god." Xiang Yan took it for granted, "Lingxu City worships medicinal materials, and the gods refine the elixir and bestow it on their own."

He Lingchuan was momentarily confused.

If only gods can refine the elixir, then what is the real culprit behind this case collecting the elixir?Furthermore, this seems to be different from what He Lianchen said.

But Xiang Yan hesitated, and said again: "However, I heard a gossip in Lingxu City."

He Lingchuan's spirits lifted, did he finally have a serious inside story to listen to?

"Please say please."

"I can't tell you the source of the news, but there seems to be such a saying, it's just a saying."

"Yeah, it's all groundless. You say it casually, and I listen casually." This old man can really patch things up.

"It is rumored that the gods originally released the pill formula of the elixir, but Lingxu City entrusted it to a non-human, so it leaked out. The gods took back the right to refine alchemy in a rage, and after that, they only granted the alchemy and did not allow human beings to refine it."

This is the second time He Lingchuan has heard this statement: "Then this elixir that comes out?"

"Of course the emperor will investigate severely, and set a deadline for surrendering himself. If he is found out after the deadline, he will be punished by the nine clans."

He Lingchuan recalled what had happened to the descendants of Yuan Kingdom, and knew that Bega Demon Emperor was never lenient in killing people.

How can such a big monster have any mercy for human life?

"How many people were killed before and after?"

"I don't know."

"Hey?" He Lingchuan wondered, "How come you don't even know how many people you killed?"

"Even if the Dan Fang flows out, there are very few people who are qualified to see it. Then there are also very few people who were killed by the emperor because of it." Xiang Yan laughed at himself, "An official of the vassal state like me has encountered Leave it alone."

That was a high-end bureau, and those low-level officials, officials from the vassal kingdom, didn't even have the qualifications to enter the bureau.

Want to be killed for it?There are no doors.

"During that time, no one was punished by the Nine Clans?"

"I'm not sure about this. At least two or three hundred years ago, the old incident itself is just a rumor. I don't know how to verify whether it is true or not."

He Lingchuan hummed: "It's easy to let it out."

Xiang Yan cautiously asked, "Do you think that this current case is related to the Dan Fang that was lost back then?"

He Lingchuan glanced at him, with a half-smile: "You said that, but I never said it."

Xiang Yan waved his hands in a panic: "No, no, the little old man is just talking nonsense, you didn't hear anything."

"Exactly." He Lingchuan laughed, "I didn't hear anything."

He saw the thin sweat on Xiang Yan's forehead.

"So, what is the experience of taking the elixir?" It's time to change to a more relaxed and happy question.

Xiang Yan really relaxed a lot:

"After taking it, the internal effects are immediate, such as light body, flexible legs and feet, better appetite, and old diseases can be cured without medicine. However, the severed limbs did not grow back. I heard that some demon generals Even taking the medicine of elixir did not heal the old wounds."

He Lingchuan nodded.It seems that the effect of the elixir is mainly to prolong life.

"Is this also divided into internal and external effects?"

"The external effect is not obvious." Xiang Yan said with a smile, "I was 52 years old when I took the medicine, and my appearance has hardly changed. I haven't gone back 30 years. But in the past 30 years after taking the medicine, I have almost always maintained the 52-year-old appearance. appearance."

It turned out to be a slow-release pill?

He Lingchuan now has a little knowledge of pharmacology, and A Luo often yells in the ears of the team members, so he knows that the so-called good medicine is stable and long-lasting, and the gentle, continuous, and long-term slow release of the medicine is the most beneficial to the human body.

Not to mention anything else, this is the effect of Diliuye, so it is the king of all medicines.

"So it's inaccurate to say it's the Return to Tong Pill?"

"It may be more appropriate to call it Zhuyan Pill or Longevity Medicine."

He Lingchuan stood up: "Thank you, Mr. Xiang, this information is very useful, I have been bothering you a lot today."

"It's just a friend's gossip, how can there be any information?" Xiang Yan smiled kindly, "The special envoy should stay for dinner?"

He was just being polite, but He Lingchuan responded happily: "Okay, I heard from General Ling that the poached chicken in the house is very smooth and tender, and there is a unique secret recipe."

"..." Xiang Yan could only smile more happily, "Come, come, this way please."

What's wrong with that old sheep!If it is a sheep, it should eat grass. What kind of chicken do you recommend?

At the same time, the inn where He Lingchuan stayed.

The tenant was not there, so He Lingchuan's room was of course empty.

The door opened suddenly, and a shop clerk slipped in, looked around to make sure that there was no one in the room, and then gently closed the door with his backhand.

He went straight to the wooden bed.

Fu Shanyue allocated enough funds to the special envoy, and the inn that He Lingchuan stayed in was also well-ranked in Baisha, and he even booked a room for several days.

There is a hall, a master bedroom, and even a spare guest room, which is also very elegantly furnished.Even the beds prepared for guests are made of huanghuali wood, which is known as a hundred-craft bed.

As soon as the clerk reached the bed, he stretched forward, looking for something on the pillow with wide-eyed eyes.

"Where's the hair?"

This inn uses soft pillows, and this distinguished guest stayed here for several days, how could there be no hair on the pillow?

However, there was none, and the shop assistant searched for it for a long time, but found nothing.

If you take the pillow away directly, you may disturb the guests, so that's not acceptable.

He walked around the house twice trying to find a way.

Even if you can find a haircut in other places in the guest room, it is useless, it may not belong to this guest named He.After all, this is an inn, and this room has received many other guests before.

Only the bedding is changed every guest.

After all, this is also a high-end inn.

Then, how can I get He Lingchuan's exclusive item?

The shop assistant's eyes still fell on the screen.

Behind that is the toilet.

or?

This is a very tasteful idea, which surprised the shop assistant himself.

The inn changes the toilet and pours night incense for the guests every day. Calculated from the time, it should be two hours later.

engage?
Don't do it?

He really didn't want to do it, but someone gave too much.

The store clerk didn't waver for long, then walked behind the screen, covered his nose, and lifted the toilet lid!

No matter how dirty the job is, as long as you give enough money, someone will do it.

But he was dumbfounded the next moment:
The toilet was empty.

No, it should be said that there is nothing at all.

It makes sense to say that people can't lose their hair while sleeping.

Doesn't this guest need to go to the bathroom all day?

An absurd thought came to the store clerk:

Could it be that this distinguished guest is wary of others all the time, even going to the public toilet outside for the reincarnation of the five grains?

How to do?
……

The next day, He Lingchuan went to the government office to find the county magistrate Baishahao.

County magistrate Tian came out with two big dark circles under his eyes, He Lingchuan was slightly startled when he saw it: "What's wrong with magistrate Tian?"

He has been tossing and turning for the past few days, and the instigator asked him what's wrong?
"It's okay, the wild cats outside the window have been calling for most of the night." Facing He Lingchuan, Tian County Magistrate could only hold back his yawns, so as not to be disrespectful, "What orders does your lord special envoy have today?"

"Magistrate Tian has something to do, but he has to do it quietly."

"Oh?" The county magistrate Baishahao understood the meaning of "keep his face open", "Do you want to keep the inspector from knowing?"

"That's a must." He Lingchuan further said, "It's best that other people in the city don't know about it."

"You say, you say."

"Find a maintenance team."

"Ah?" County magistrate Tian was a little confused. He didn't know if he didn't get enough sleep last night.

"Tide Lake Tower."

"Oh... well, it's a small thing."

"But I still have a request." He Lingchuan whispered a few words in his ear, and then said, "Don't let anyone in the city know before starting the construction, can it be done?"
