After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 578 Li Qingge's Request
Li Qingge was slightly surprised: "How do you know... Oh!"

She remembered that before Governor Xiazhou left Shihuan City, she had asked the father and son if there was a bamboo tube among Sun Fuping's belongings.

It was all a long time ago. This young man has a really kind and meticulous memory, which is very different from the recklessness he showed outside.

That's right, after leaving Manager He, he seemed to be less reckless.

"Yes, that's it."

He Lingchuan thought for a while: "How do you know that it is really in the hands of Nian Zanli, and not taken away by Da Sima of Wuzhou?"

At the beginning of Yuan's domestic turmoil, the great Sima Donghaoming took the lead in rebelling, and Nian Zanli had been on the sidelines until He Chunhua reported to the capital.But both of them are closely related to Sun Fuping.

"I went to Wuzhou to check carefully, and it's not with Da Sima." Li Qingge was sure, "And Nian Zanli used this thing when he threatened Songyang Mansion. So I can confirm that it is in Nian Zanli's hands."

"He knows that he can blackmail you with this thing, so why is he willing to return it to you?"

Li Qingge smiled bitterly: "This is the difficulty."

"I don't have a good time in Lingxu City for the New Year's Appreciation Ceremony, so Sir, there's nothing you can do about him?"

"I've tried a few times, but this guy won't let me in, and he won't return anything. I'm afraid I'll push too hard, so he just destroys the bamboo tube. I can ask someone for help, but I can't be too picky about this matter. Otherwise, it's just driving tigers to devour wolves..." She smiled wryly, "This is Lingxu City after all, not Yuan Country, and I don't have the convenience of being a landlord."

What she said was very clear, and it is not good to seek help from other great powers, lest it is easy to ask God and send God away.

"Your lord is so relieved of me?" Are you afraid that he will take the bamboo tube as his own?
Li Qingge smiled gently and movingly: "Young Master is not that kind of person."

He Lingchuan also smiled, and put away the inner armor: "Come to Lingxu City for the New Year's Ceremony, what are your demands?"

Li Qingge lent him the purple golden pestle to deal with Bai Ziqi, and sent someone to send Xinglongzhu to Wange Swamp for him, so he owed at least two favors to Li Qingge's two bosses and had to pay them back.

"The battle of Hanhe caused him heavy casualties, and the plan to attack Xiazhou with the cooperation of Chief Sima Dong Haoming also failed. I think this has become a knot in his heart, and it has also caused Lingxu City to treat him coldly."

He Lingchuan nodded when he heard this.

He is no longer the boy who knew nothing about the northern demon country on the bank of the Han River a few months ago.Traveling around the demon kingdom and several near-death experiences allowed him to learn more about Bega, especially Lingxu City, and he is no longer just looking at flowers in the fog.

If at the beginning of the Nian Zan Ceremony, He Chunhua could clearly realize that Lingxu City's attitude towards the Nian Zan Ceremony, there must be a huge adjustment in strategy.

"In the past two months, the New Year's Ceremony has spent a lot of money in Lingxu City, and I hope to find some noble people to lobby the Demon Emperor."

"Is it effective?" He Lingchuan was very concerned.

"Yes, I heard a piece of news that he seems to have invited Qingyang Guoshi to be a lobbyist."

He Lingchuan's eyes flashed: "Master Qingyang? I remember that Nian Zanli asked Shuangye Guoshi to allocate Yuanli before the Battle of Hanhe. Why did you switch to Qingyang Guoshi now?"

"Maybe it's because of the heavy losses in the Hanhe war?" Li Qingge didn't pick his words too clearly, but He Lingchuan had already heard it clearly.

Hong Chenglue put up a New Year's Praise during the Battle of Hanhe, and Hong Chenglue was sent by Shuangye Guoshi, so the New Year's Praise probably had a knot in his heart because of this.

"Then Qingyang National Master talked about it?"

"It seems that Dijun's attitude has loosened—"

He Lingchuan was stunned, the Qingyang National Master's influence is still great.Yuan Kingdom Xiazhou has just experienced the Battle of the Hanhe River, and is still breathing, is it going to face another disaster?
As a traveler, he doesn't have deep feelings for Yuan Country, but he doesn't want the people there to suffer.

Unexpectedly, Li Qingge went on to say, "However, at this moment, the case of the immortal drug broke out suddenly, and the Qingfu Temple also exploded. Although it seems that it has nothing to do with the Qing Palace, but..."

"But the clues are secretly pointing to the Qing Palace, isn't the god mad?" He Lingchuan said with a smile, "the god is not happy, the emperor probably can't consider Qingyang Guoshi's opinion."

"Yes, so the plan for the New Year's Ceremony has been put on hold. He spent so much money and recruited so many people, but the bamboo basket was empty!"

He Lingchuan understood.No wonder I saw Nian Zanli at the Dunyuan sale, with a haggard face and a gloomy expression.

Daring to run into walls here and there.

Unexpectedly, when he pursued a case of the elixir of youth, he actually hit the right track, defeating the plan of borrowing troops from Nian Zanli.

Originally, it was impossible to hit the edge with eight poles, but in the end it also caught up.

Dad should really send him a pennant, otherwise Bega's iron hooves will soon set foot on the land of Yuan Country Xiazhou.

"He wants to use someone from Beijia to make a comeback, so he has to coerce the Songyang Mansion to contribute money and efforts." Li Qingge put away his smile, "I like to travel around the world, but I'm still from the Yuan Kingdom after all, so how can I cooperate with him to attack?" Your own home country?"

He Lingchuan lowered his eyes and secretly said loudly.

Li Qingge only talked about himself, but he reminded He Lingchuan from beginning to end that the people of the Yuan country wanted to help the people of the Yuan country. By helping Li Qingge get back the bamboo tube, he was helping his mother country from the disaster of war.

She held out this big hat, and it was hard for He Lingchuan to have a reason to refuse.

Li Qingge said again: "Xiazhou is already weak, and it has been tossed by the war for another year. It is still seriously injured and far from recovering. Last time I passed by the suburbs of Dunyu, I saw that people's livelihood is still difficult, and the old man is over five years old. Xunya lost all his teeth, but he couldn't even drink porridge." She shook her head, "If you can stop the New Year's praise ceremony here, it will also be a great help to your father."

He Lingchuan said solemnly: "Let's not talk about the righteousness of the family and the country, the Sir has helped me several times, and this favor should be repaid. But I am new here, and I have been in Lingxu City for less than ten days. The Sir really thinks that I can help busy?"

Favors come and go, and favors come and go, and favors can be used more and more.

"Young Master is now a close friend of the prince, an emissary of Chi Yan, and is also famous for the immortality drug case and the posthouse explosion." Li Qingge supported his heart with his hands, "You see that the New Year's Gift offered you a gift, which means that he thinks You are worthy of friendship."

She leaned forward slightly towards He Lingchuan: "Do you know that the Chiyan Demon King has a good relationship with Suluo Kingdom?"

Suluo Kingdom and Baoshu Kingdom border on Yuan Kingdom.

"I don't know." He Lingchuan said honestly, "Three months ago, I couldn't even memorize the name of Bega's vassal demon country. But I will try my best here in Nian Zanli."

Li Qingge immediately stood up and bowed to him, "My young master is so righteous, Qingge is very grateful."

"They're all kite people, what are you talking about?" He Lingchuan returned the words to her, "But I just arrived in Lingxu, and there are not enough people."

"Young Master, if you need anything, just ask." Li Qingge spoke softly, toasted him a glass of wine, and then said, "Songyang Mansion also has a few smart people in Lingxu City, and they have been running here for three years. More than one year old, young and old can do whatever they want."

He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows: "My lord started running the business of Lingxu City a long time ago?"

"The first sub-helm was opened here five years ago."

"The situation is swift and fierce." He Lingchuan smiled, "I went to Dunyuan a few days ago, and the Wushan screen is so domineering." It is also very eye-catching. and mark in the lower left corner.

General Golden Horn's Dun Garden, is that where any small businessman can advertise?
Lingxu City has been developed for 600 years, and the business ecology has probably solidified. Songyang Mansion can tear a small opening in such a short period of time, Li Qingge, this woman's wrist is not easy.

She frowned, showing a little distress: "It's hard work to achieve this, but it's not the time. The year's praise needs to be handled up and down in Lingxu City, so I treat my place as a bank, and come here every now and then to ask for money Want something."

Holding a piece of fish fillet with pine nuts, He Lingchuan chewed slowly: "He only treats Songyang Mansion as a cash cow, he really underestimated the Sir."

In his opinion, Li Qingge's ability to make money came second.

Just to give an example: Songyang Mansion opened a sub-helm in the capital of the northern demon country a few years ago. At that time, the relationship between the Yuan Kingdom and Beijia was already very bad. How can you say that Songyang Mansion is also a Taoist school that started from the Yuan Kingdom? Well, Li Qingge is also the Marquis of the Yuan Kingdom, so if the two sides do business openly, the Yuan Kingdom will let it go.

However, Li Qingge's husband was killed for collaborating with the enemy and treason.

No matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like someone who can stay out of it.

But she just did it. Not only was Songyang Mansion unaffected, but the business was getting bigger and bigger.

If it were any other ordinary businessman, he would lose his head countless times.

He Lingchuan boldly guessed, did this woman have some agreement with Yuan Ting in private?

Li Qingge was not modest, and raised his eyebrows: "Nian Zanli has lived in Xunzhou for a long time and rarely returned to Shihuan. I guess he doesn't know much about Songyang Mansion or me, and Sun Fuping didn't tell him too much. He only extorted some money from me. But after he gets the bamboo tube, he will probably spend his energy to investigate. Later... it will be troublesome."

He Lingchuan said seriously: "Let me try my best."

"By the way, you have to be careful, don't let the New Year's Gift destroy the bamboo tube, don't even let him unplug it."

He Lingchuan nodded in agreement.He probably guessed what was in the bamboo tube.

"By the way, I have a new toy here, do you want to try it?"

Toy?New toy to try out?
He Lingchuan quickly pushed the weird thoughts to the back of his mind: "Yes, yes."

Li Qingge took out a small box: "This is a chasing bee. You can tell what it's used for by hearing the name, right?"

The box is octagonal, looks like a pocket watch, and the filigree wrapping pattern on the cover is in the shape of a bee, the whole is elegant and delicate.

Since it's called "Chasing Bee", He Lingchuan thought that two bees would fly out when the box was opened, but it didn't.

Inside is something like a compass, a sandalwood panel with scales and words on it, and two small needles in the middle, one long and one short.

Isn't this a... compass?Although the box is nice.

"Interesting, how do you use it?" Li Qingge was very particular. Although he handled things with favor, he still did not forget to give him some benefits.

She turned over the box, and He Lingchuan saw that there was a hidden compartment behind the box.
