After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 973
Yu Zecheng also broke into a smile: "He Xiao will go and be busy, don't worry about me."

That little bit of nervousness disappeared immediately.

He Lingchuan led a large team of people and sent Yu Zecheng and others back to their residence. After showing them enough courtesy and face, they went back to work.

When Yu Zecheng returned to his room, he drank the entire bowl of tea in one gulp and raised his hand to smash the tea bowl.

But he still held back and didn't throw it out.

Finally, he threw the teacup back on the table and let out a long breath.

The guard behind him said: "Sir, is the person named He singing a double act with the spider demon?"

Yu Zecheng said coldly: "What do you think?"

The guard didn't dare to say anything.

He Xiao was quite polite to them, but this politeness lacked awe.Yu Zecheng said to himself:

"Why is this kid so confident?"

Even if it was true that the spider demon was kind to him, in the face of his own life and death, why couldn't he live up to his kindness?
The guard said: "Perhaps he is relying on himself to have a good relationship with Prince Chiyan?"

"He should know very well that the Crown Prince has nothing to do with us." Yu Zecheng's tone was calm but did not hide his arrogance, "The Black Tiger Army does not need to sell Chi Yan's reputation."

But the task of tracking Zhu Erniang cannot be abandoned like this, otherwise Shuangye Guoshi will definitely blame him.

"He Xiao refused to hand over Zhu Erniang, and the contradictions focused on him. It is the so-called no tears without seeing the coffin." Yu Zecheng casually placed a barrier, "Only by capturing him and helping him recognize the reality, can we Deal with Zhu Erniang."

Until now, he only said "take it", not kill him.

In fact, Yu Zecheng also had concerns.

The elixir of life case involves many high-ranking figures in Lingxu City. He Xiao was once the special envoy of Chiyan, and he was able to escape unscathed while dealing with Lingxu City. Does he also have connections and foundation in Bejia?

Based on the situation in Lingxu City at that time, if He Xiao did not have a strong backer - at least more powerful than Prince Chiyan - Qingyang Imperial Master could crush him with just one little finger.

If I kill He Xiao now, will I offend any big shot in Lingxu City?

He pressed his forehead, sighed, and returned his attention to the islands in front of him.

The environment of the Yangshan Islands is very favorable to the burrowing spider, and based on his understanding of Zhu Erniang, this big monster started to set up camp as soon as he settled on the island, building his cave like an iron barrel.

They also sent their spies to take a look. The entire island was riddled with holes and grooves, as if it was tailor-made for burrowing spiders.The most complex terrain is probably underground and underwater, and it is impossible to determine the reality simply by looking at the outside.

It is both a maze and a fortress.

They couldn't even figure out which cave Zhu Erniang lived in, so how could they attack by surprise?

It is not impossible to take action by force. They are quite prepared to target the underground spiders and Zhu Erniang, but the final chance of victory is unpredictable.

However, once the island owner favors them, I will immediately have the advantage.

That's how effective home field advantage is.

The key to dealing with Zhu Erniang now lies in He Xiao's attitude.

To change this person's attitude, persuasion alone is useless.

The guard reminded in a low voice: "Sir, this He Xiao is not a simple person. He is very convenient here."

"Do you think it is easier to deal with He Xiao or Zhu Erniang?"

The guard immediately said: "He Xiao."

Not to mention the number of crypt spiders, Zhu Erniang was forced to restore the power of the ancient demon immortal.And the burrowing spider's nest...an absolute pain in the ass.

This is also the reason why Yu Zecheng adopts wolf pack tactics instead of confronting this prehistoric monster head-on.

In terms of force and combat experience alone, there is no doubt that He Xiao is better to deal with.

The lesser of two evils, even if He Xiao is not simple, Yu Zecheng will choose him.

Besides, is He Xiao really that powerful?

The guard added: "But, but our manpower is all deployed to deal with the spider demon..."

They have been chasing Zhu Erniang for half a year, and the manpower and materials mobilized from the front line are also targeted.

Yu Zecheng smiled half-heartedly: "Can't you deal with Zhu Erniang's configuration against He Xiao?"

The guard bowed his head and said nothing.

"I went back to Lingxu City at the beginning of this year. When I met with the Imperial Master, he talked about the case of the elixir of life and spoke highly of He." Yu Zecheng said slowly, "But the case of the elixir of life was taken into Lingxu by Baidu. During the investigation in Xucheng, He Xiao was no longer an important figure. The focus of the competition was not on him, and he had the protection of Prince Chiyan. It was not difficult for him to escape unscathed. Most of it was because of caution or because of the various parties involved. Check and balance each other.”

He was analyzing and comforting himself.

"Perhaps his outstanding performance was due to his dealings with Cen Boqing in Chiyan territory?" Yu Zecheng didn't say a word. Bejia never lacked for amazing and talented people, but Shuangye Imperial Master rarely praised them.

Now He Xiao is blocking Bejia from pursuing the fugitive, which shows that he doesn't really know how to assess the situation.From the perspective of Imperial Master Shuangye, his high opinion of He Xiao was truly flattering.

He mused: "He Xiao should be very wary of us. There are a few elites around him. It's hard for us to attack on the island." The guard said: "Then wait for him to land at Blade Port?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the white bird flew in from the window and landed on the table.

"What's new at the port?" Yu Zecheng left two people at Blade Port.

"Recently, several cargo ships have been sunk by evil spirits. There is a lot of discussion about this matter, and it is said that those ships are actually privately owned by Wu Tiju, the shipping department of Blade Port City."

Yu Zecheng raised his eyebrows: "Is it rare for an evil spirit to sink a cargo ship?"

"When those ships crashed, they were not in the Yangshan waters. Generally speaking, the Yinlu is active in the depths of the archipelago, and will not leave the Yangshan waters to hurt people."

"But they came out this time and only damaged Wu Tiju's ship?"

"Yes. For several days in a row, we only caught Wu Tiju's ship. Other ships passed by them, but they ignored them." White Bird just passed on the message, "This matter has spread like wildfire in Blade Port, because earlier There is a saying that the new owner of the Yangshan Islands has subdued the Yin Hui. Everyone speculates that this is a discord between the two sides, and the Yangshan Islands should show Wu Tiju's ability."

Yu Zecheng knocked on the table with his fingers: "Since I am responsible for the promotion of Blade Port, could I be asking for it?"

They are all in the officialdom, and they are not good men and women.

"Ye Qing also found out something." Ye Qing was one of the guards who stayed at Blade Port to find out the news. "In the past few days, Wu Tiju's ship has sailed as usual again, and Yin Fei has not intercepted it again."

"It seems that he and He Xiao have reached an agreement." Otherwise, how could he dare to send a ship out?
"More than that. The sailors on Wu Tiju's ship also said that if they now take a fixed route in and out of Blade Port, they will definitely not be attacked." Bai Niao said, "Now the ships entering and leaving Blade Port are also following the same route and changing that route. A route.”

People in the sea are superstitious and will definitely not do anything that violates taboos.

Yu Zechengran: "Fixed route? Does it have to pass through this Sodin Island?"

"Yes."

Yu Zecheng said: "What a good boy, you can turn disasters into blessings, you have a quick mind." No wonder that although the facilities on Sodin Island are simple, there are many ships docked.

"This Wu Tiju suffered a heavy loss in the hands of He Xiao, and had to divert the flow for others. He must be suffocating." Yu Zecheng said to Bai Niao, "Let Ye Qing test him, it is best to be our helper. Then you Go back to Sodin Island and keep an eye on He Xiao."

"Yes!" The white bird flapped its wings and flew away.

No one noticed that the white bird's comings and goings were all visible to the spiders on the big tree outside the house.

This is Sodin Island, He Lingchuan’s territory. Who cares how many bugs there are on the trees?

The mirror on the other side also asked He Lingchuan: "Do you think that this is the case for people named Yu?"

"How is that possible? Today's meeting is just a formality." He Lingchuan said lightly, "Beijia will not stop until he gets the answer he wants. Yu must at least give it a try, otherwise he won't be able to get the job back. .”

After half a year of hard work chasing after Zhu Erniang to lay out the plan, he ended up returning home without even trying. How could he be like this?

When you go back and report to your boss, you should at least say that your subordinates tried their best but just couldn't do it.

"With the temperament of these Bega people, if they fail the literary test, I'm afraid they will have to take the martial arts test later."

Since he has accepted the spider demon sisters, he must also accept their troubles.

Avoiding excuses, lying, and being clever are all useless.

From now on, Yu Zecheng's pursuit of Zhu Erniang will become a problem between him, He Lingchuan and Beijia.

What should come will always come, and what should be faced cannot be avoided.

"What are you going to do?"

"Keep an eye on Yu Zecheng, he will definitely make some moves in private.

The mirror squeaked: "He wouldn't be stupid enough to do it himself, would he?"

"There are only two people following him. How could he only lead two people when hunting down a big demon like Zhu Erniang? I'm afraid the others in Bega are hiding in the dark." He Lingchuan's eyes flashed, "Zhu Erniang was once an ancient demon. Immortal, if Yu Zecheng dares to pursue him here, he must have some credibility. Let’s first find out how many people he has brought with him.”

He Lingchuan patted the mirror and said, "If I refuse to hand over Zhu Erniang, he will definitely doubt me. You should be more careful in the back. Whether it is my magical powers or my eyeliner, I will leave it to you."

The waters of Pansi Island were completely blocked by Yinpi, and Yu Zecheng was able to spot the burrowing spiders on the island, which showed that he at least had the advantage of aerial reconnaissance.He Lingchuan didn't want his every move to be watched by the eyes of heaven.

"Put it on me." Jing Jing assured him casually, then asked, "Are you going to kill the person named Yu?"

"Of course not, absolutely not! We can't be enemies with Bejia yet, at least we can't make Bejia lose face." The majesty of the big country does not tolerate provocation. He Lingchuan thought clearly, "Fortunately, he still has superiors. He encounters difficulties. , must be reported to the superior.”

"Grandmaster Frostleaf?"

"Exactly."

……

Blade Port, City Shipping Department.

Zhao Qianshi had just handed Wu Tiju a maintenance report on the dock, and the clerk trotted over to report:
"A visitor asked to see him, saying he was... from Lingxu City."

Wu Tiju raised his eyes: "Oh? Bring him in."

Hearing the visitor from Lingxu, he was not as surprised as other Qingguo officials.Blade Port is a natural port with huge throughput. It accepts sea passengers from all over the world, and there are always a lot of guests from Mou Guo and Beijia.
