The soul-capturing mirror wondered: "Why do you smile so happily?"
It was rare to see He Lingchuan laughing so heartily.
"You don't understand! My chess game is alive!" He Lingchuan smiled broadly, "I am safe, my mother and I are safe, and the islands are also safe."
Bega would not give him money for free, and the so-called "trade route" was probably just a cover.
Fu Shanyue is right. The Yangshan Islands are strategically located. If Bejia can reach here, it will have a closer springboard to contact Yaguo!
The relationship between the Yangshan Islands and the mainland is delicate, and neither Qingguo nor Bailie can control it. It is a natural offshore center.
The more Fushan is stationed here, the more Bega can build an intelligence base here.
Mou Guo's rear intelligence base.
But He Lingchuan is not afraid of this. The Yangshan Islands are his and are firmly under his control. If Bega wants to get information from here, it all depends on his look!
But thinking of this, He Lingchuan also understood whose handiwork this was:
Frostleaf Grandmaster.
If he sent someone else to do this work in the Yangshan Islands, He Lingchuan would definitely be resistant and defensive, and might even find a way to drive the "minister" back.
With the way He Lingchuan treated Yu Zecheng, this is not impossible.
However, Imperial Master Shuangye sent Prince Chiyan over, and He Lingchuan could only express welcome, and a warm welcome at that.
This guy, Shuangye Guoshi, is really scheming.
After thinking about this, He Lingchuan's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally relaxed.
After dealing with Yu Zecheng, he also wrote a letter to Imperial Master Shuangye with sincere words.
But Grandmaster Shuangye never replied.
In the past few months, Bega has not taken any further action against him, the Yangshan Islands, or the Crypt Spider Demon. Even the wanted order for Zhu Erniang, who is number two on the Heavenly List, has been cancelled. This shows that this great empire does not want to pursue the case in a short time.
.
On the day when he learned that Zhu Erniang's arrest warrant had been revoked, he opened several jars of old wine to celebrate.
The islands and him were finally safe for the time being.
But he still didn't know the attitude of Imperial Master Shuangye himself.
Strictly speaking, the main reason why He Lingchuan dared to attack Yu Zecheng's team and to make Bejia's monsters into dishes for Yu Zecheng to eat, apart from being in the rear of Mou State, was that he had a connection with Shuangye Imperial Master.
!
Bejia wants to pursue him and find out his details. He may involve the Imperial Master Shuangye and touch the case of the Eternal Medicine Case again.
For his own sake, Imperial Master Shuangye would most likely choose to settle the matter.
In this matter, He Lingchuan took advantage of Imperial Master Shuangye. No matter how sincere his letter was, it could not change this fact.
So, will Imperial Master Shuangye take revenge privately? He Lingchuan has always been worried.
If you can’t do it openly, can’t you do it secretly?
He told Lu Qiuwei that Yu Zecheng cannot represent Bejia, and Yu Zecheng's power is not equal to Bejia's power.
But Frostleaf Grand Master can!
Shuangye Imperial Master is the leader of Bejia's four great imperial masters. He has a huge force and countless capable people under his command.
Yu Zecheng was not even qualified to carry his boots.
A chill ran down He Lingchuan's back at the thought of Master Shuangye's possible revenge. No matter how many people there were on the Yangshan Islands, they couldn't give him any sense of security.
He is someone who knows the methods of Shuangye Guoshi. The opponent is not only powerful, but also patient.
In order to defeat his old enemy, Imperial Master Qingyang, Imperial Master Shuangye could hide Xi Yunhe in the ice for more than ten years, waiting for the right moment to launch a fatal blow.
Not even Qingyang Imperial Master could escape his care. How could He Lingchuan and He De think he could be spared?
Now, Frostleaf Grand Master finally responded:
He sent Fu Shanyue over.
No matter how many precautions Lingxu City told Fu Shanyue, his arrival itself sent a signal to He Lingchuan:
Imperial Master Shuangye was not angry and did not intend to argue with him.
How could He Lingchuan be unhappy after finding out this?
Imperial Master Shuangye's tolerance was really unexpected. But the king's heart was like the sea, and he had other agendas, and He Lingchuan had no way of guessing.
It can only be said that in the Battle of Hurricane Night, the results he obtained from Bega were better than expected.
The biggest worry after the Yu Zecheng incident was gone, and he could take action later.
When he returned to his residence, he opened the painting box and was stunned.
The painting is two square feet, and the content is not the common mountains and flowing water, but woodlands, swamps, and wild deer. The painting skills are excellent, but with just a few strokes, the wild atmosphere of the woods and swamps comes to your face.
But the content of the scroll always felt a bit strange and familiar to He Lingchuan.
The soul-capturing mirror shouted: "Look at the signature, look at the seal!"
Hearing this, He Lingchuan unfolded the scroll to the end, but there was no signature. There happened to be a maple tree painted there, and there was only one leaf floating in the place where the signature should be, which was lifelike.
The seal didn't have any words engraved on it, it was just blood red.
"Maple Leaf, Maple Leaf..." He Lingchuan murmured, "Is it the Imperial Master Shuangye?"
The soul-capturing mirror was puzzled: "Isn't this a painting given to you by Songyang Mansion?"
"Who is Li Qingge? He has probably been in contact with Qiu Gong since the tribute incident in 2006." Li Qingge, whom he knew, would not let go of such a good opportunity.
In the name of Yang Mansion."
Why did Imperial Master Shuangye send him a painting?
He Lingchuan thought about it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the little man lying in the grass was very eerie.
This seemed to be a boy of five or six years old, with a big head and a small body. He turned his head and stared at the deer drinking water. Although he was young, he did not have the innocence and romance of ordinary children, which made He Lingchuan feel particularly sinister and sinister.
What's even stranger is that He Lingchuan always felt that his figure and posture looked familiar.
This place in the painting...
He suddenly blurted out: "Devil's Nest Swamp?"
No wonder it looks familiar, this place does look like Zhu Erniang's original residence. There are swamps everywhere, wild deer everywhere, maple trees everywhere, familiar buildings everywhere, and a corner of the Demon's Nest exposed behind the trees.
But the trees beside the pit were young and very different from what he had seen.
"Master Shuangye wants to tell me that he has insight into my origin?"
Zhu Erniang originally lived in Devil's Nest Swamp, so the person who made an agreement with her to go to Lingxu City to retrieve the immortal slough for her must have also been to Devil's Nest Swamp.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This idea really makes people shiver down the back.
Did Imperial Master Shuangye remind him not to think that he can be unscrupulous just because he escaped a disaster?
The soul-catching mirror asked him: "What about this kid in the painting?"
What is the purpose of drawing a little man?
He Lingchuan shook his head and expressed confusion.
Could it be that the mantis stalks the cicada?
So in the eyes of Imperial Master Shuangye, who is the little deer and who is the villain?
"Anyway, I finally get rid of this heavy worry." He Lingchuan rubbed his hands, unable to hold back, "In one month at most, our team will be reorganized and trained. Then, we can start the next step of the plan!
"
Including the newly joined Bailong soldiers, the number of Yangshan Guards is now close to 6,000. This number is already very prominent among small countries. If Bailie and Qingguo next door knew that he had so many people, they would not sleep at night.
Oh no.
What's more, the combat effectiveness of this army is increasing day by day. It is completely different from when it was first formed nine months ago. It even has ready-made powerful warriors like the Bailong people joining it.
The master of the island has already hardened up. He has had enough of the busy but peaceful island life.
It's time to stir up trouble.
So what’s the next plan? The Soul-Taking Mirror tentatively asked: “Bailie?”
"Yes!" The fundamental reason why he strives to develop Yangshan is to sit south and look north. Now, it's time to take Bailie into his pocket. "Yangshan's business is on the right track. Although the population, commerce, and farming are all
It is making steady progress, but it is difficult to expect another explosive growth like in the early days."
The Yangshan Islands are steadily improving, and others are jealous of it, but He Lingchuan feels that it is too slow to increase its strength.
Especially the population.
Since the Yangshan Islands have expanded aggressively to recruit people, surrounding countries and forces have issued restrictions on relocation to prevent local people from moving to Yangshan.
There are currently only 130,000 people in the Yangshan Islands, and more than 40,000 of them are Bailong people.
He Lingchuan's biggest headache is where to get so many people.
Once Bailie is captured, this problem will naturally be solved, and his strength will usher in another round of explosive growth.
He had been coveting this big fat piece of meat Bailie for a long time, and he was always thinking about how to swallow it.
The soul-capturing mirror screamed: "We are finally going to take action? Are you a little too anxious?"
How long has this owner been running Yangshan? Less than two years.
"Yes!" He Lingchuan did not deny it.
His relationship with Lingshan and Mou Guo is still in a state of closeness and distance, commonly known as friendship but not iron. Now is not the best time to take action.
But the question is, is there any “best time”?
The stronger the Yangshan Islands are, the more they will become a thorn in the eyes of others. Even if He Lingchuan still wants to hide his power and bide his time, with such powerful neighbors at his side, which of the neighboring countries should not be wary?
What's more, he still has a calculation in his mind:
Over the past two thousand years, the emperor's fluids have occurred frequently, which heralds the coming of great chaos.
Dealing with Nailuotian's clone, dealing with Lingshan, and the occasional news coming from Shi Nan always gave him a sense of crisis and urgency, which also made his desire for power more urgent.
Before the chaos comes, will he have time to prepare and accumulate enough strength?
Time waits for us.
…
Early the next morning, Fu Shanyue urged He Lingchuan to take him to the evil place. He was impatient.
"Oh, why are you so anxious?" He Lingchuan was negotiating goods with Fang Canran in Ding Lake. The latter had just shipped a batch of supplies from Platinum Island, including the monster spirits that Qiu Hu had longed for.
This is a great tonic for the ancient demon soul in him.
"Take me and Taozi to open our eyes!" As much as humans long for the paradise of cave heaven, the demon yearns for the land of evil.
Tiger Jiao Yu also followed, yawning and stretching on the ground.
It doesn't like evil spirits, it just comes to join in the fun.
He Lingchuan rubbed its big head, and it felt as good as ever.
At this time, Fu Shanyue sniffed a few times, and looked suspicious at Fang Canran: "Hey, the smell on your body smells familiar. Where have we seen it before?"
