"Also, these monsters decay very quickly." Dong Rui picked up a piece of braised beef, threw it into his mouth and tasted it for a long time. It was delicious and chewy, good! "Like that tail-tailed tiger, even if I don't kill it,
It, it won’t live for more than half a year at most.”
"Your demon puppet also had this problem before." Later, Zhu Erniang used the skills of the ancient demon immortal to give Dong Rui a trick, which greatly extended the life of the demon puppet.
He Lingchuan still doesn't know how it was done, and he doesn't bother to ask - he probably won't understand even if he does.
Anyway, in order to obtain this secret method, Dong Rui cooperated with He Lingchuan's Xushan plan in Lingxu City.
"These three-headed demon puppets are probably just the first finished products. They are short-lived anyway. They will be put into battle after they are made. It is not a pity to lose them." Dong Rui raised two fingers, "It means two points. First, the opponent may have it in his hands.
There are more powerful demon puppets; secondly——"
"The more powerful the demon puppet is, the harder it is to control it. That's why this demon puppet master used the three-headed prototype to track Xiao An."
Hearing this, He Lingchuan tapped the table: "I know, he may have a superior. But his superior is either very busy or has an identity, and it is impossible to track Xiao An personally all the time."
"Next, as long as we find out why the demon puppet master had to chase this little girl, the truth will probably emerge."
"Where do you start?"
"Xiao An has mentioned more than once that she wants to go home and go back to that village." He Lingchuan smiled, "At least, we know where her destination is."
"Xingyun Village has long since disappeared."
"But she doesn't know it herself." He Lingchuan opened the sand table in the middle of the Shining Gold Plains and pointed to the location of Yao Kingdom. "Do you still remember that we completed the mission of Lingshan and took the three-tailed fox demon from Baitou Ridge to Julu Port?"
He changed the topic quickly, and Dong Rui was startled: "Oh, remember."
"The three-tailed fox demon was hunted by General Chongwu for killing more than a thousand civilians of the Yao Kingdom. Even Princess Ya, whom King Yao loved, could not escape his murderous hands." He Lingchuan recalled, "The victim's death method was due to the essence and internal organs.
They were all sucked away, much like what a fox demon would do."
"Oh yes, I remembered it. The three-tailed fox demon denied it, saying that he and the little fox demon had never gone down the mountain during that time and had never harmed anyone." Dong Rui suddenly realized, "You are suspicious that the three-tailed fox demon did it
The scapegoat, the real murderer is Tong Xuan?"
"Now it seems that it is not impossible." He Lingchuan continued, "It killed too many people that time, and it was impossible to take the brains of all of them and eat them. The Yao Kingdom probably didn't notice that some of the corpses had brains missing."
"That was all half a year ago."
He Lingchuan marked on the sand table: "The princess of Yao Kingdom and civilians were killed near the Baitou Ridge of the three-tailed fox demon."
"And Chenjiazhuang and Green Villa are at this location."
He continued to mark: "And here, Xiao An's final destination, Xingyun Village."
"Connecting these points, this is Tong Xuan's path in recent months." He paused, "It is probably also the path taken by the demon puppet master."
"Tong Xuan's killings in other places were sporadic, but he committed mass killings in Baitou Ridge. There must be incentives." He Lingchuan pondered, "That area is worthy of investigation."
"Also, Xiao An said that her father lives in the mountains. The house is very big, and there are red and white rocks outside the gatehouse. This is a characteristic. You might as well investigate it together. In addition, these puppet masters are the same as you, they want to capture monsters and make them
Research shows that most of their residences are not in the county, but in the countryside."
Based on the above, there are many clues that can be investigated.
Dong Rui put down the second sea bowl, touched his belly and burped: "I'm full, I'm going to catch up on my sleep."
…
Yaopo, Situ Military Camp.
Two months ago, this was the front line of the battle between the Situ family and the Pixia people; but with the death of the Ghost King and the advance of the Allied Forces, peace returned to Yaopo and the people could live in peace again.
In just two months, the green grass and trees outside the city are almost invisible, and the traces of the raging war in the past are almost invisible.
But today Yaopo received a new task:
The contract between the Peliu Kingdom and the Kan people will be signed here.
The Bixia people were defeated by the Allied forces, and when they retreated on the northern front, they conveniently handed over the Qingye area that originally belonged to the Palyu Kingdom to the Kan people. The latter coveted the rich products and commercial interests here and refused to return it to the Palyu Kingdom.
The two sides were arguing endlessly, and the Allied Northern Front was not only unable to advance, but was also in danger of collapsing at any time.
As the leader of the Allied Forces, Situ Yu came forward to mediate many times. After all his good words and countless letters were exchanged, the two sides finally reached an agreement and were ready to sign a contract.
Before Situ Yu entered the tent, he let out a long breath.
Today is his fourth time, and it should be the last time he mediates this matter, right?
In the tent, the representatives of the Peliu Kingdom and the Kan people were sitting on one side of each other, and there was no room in the middle, where Kang Lang was sitting.
When Situ Yu came in, everyone stood up to greet him.
The terms have basically been negotiated. The King of Poliu and the chief of the Kan tribe did not come in person, but sent representatives to Yaopo to sign.
"Okay, everyone, sit down." Situ Yu sat down and saw a long file on the case, which when unfolded was the signed agreement between the two parties.
When he saw this, his brain ached. To check such a long contract item by item, he would rather go into battle and kill the enemy!
Kang Lang's face below him was glowing red, and his back was straight.
He is the sixth son of the king of Poliu and the son-in-law of the leader of the Kan tribe. He will soon become the key figure in resolving the Qingye dispute. Among everyone present, he was the most excited one.
Situ Yu glanced at him and remembered that his son's idea as relayed by He Lingchuan could indeed be implemented. "Okay, what is in front of you is the latest Qingye Agreement. We have to review it one by one, and then sign the contract and seal it here!"
There was no objection from below, so the review began.
The Kan people took over Qingye, and they knew that they were unjust, so they asked for 50% of the city's income;
The country of Peliu is willing to end the war, but only if it gets 70% of the proceeds.
Originally this was a point of disagreement between the two sides, but the Situ family asked He Lingchuan for advice and found an "impossible solution". Only then did the peaceful cooperation on the Allied Northern Front appear.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Of course, what He Lingchuan proposed was only ideas and concepts. How to implement it will still need to be negotiated by the three parties themselves.
As long as vital interests are involved, no matter how dull or stupid a person is, they will immediately become shrewd, let alone the two major forces.
The Situ family put a lot of effort into this, used their utmost patience, and finally succeeded in setting up the matchmaking.
This round of deliberation lasted two hours, and was interspersed with several questions and arguments.
However, it was finally negotiated.
Representatives from both sides and Kang Lang must sign and seal the document in quadruplicate.
The Poliu Kingdom, the Kan tribe, and the Kanglang tribe each kept a copy. Of course, the Situ family as witnesses also had to keep a copy.
When Situ Yu held this agreement in his hands, he felt relieved.
For two hours, his voice became hoarse!
Representatives from both sides stood up, politely declined the Situ family's banquet, and said goodbye to their hosts.
They were eager to go back and fulfill their orders. This contract was of great importance.
With it, the Allied Northern Front can put aside the dispute and continue to attack the Vishayans!
Only Kang Lang was in high spirits. When he stepped forward to thank Situ Yu, his bow almost touched the floor: "Thank you, Marshal Situ!"
"Congratulations to Kang Chengshou for taking office!" Situ Yu patted him on the shoulder, "Do a good job. From now on, you will be the cornerstone of peaceful exchanges between the Peliu and the Kan people. Remember to be impartial."
"Yes, Kang Lang has remembered it."
By virtue of his special status, Kang Lang became the manager of Qingye jointly entrusted by the Poliu Kingdom and the Kan people. Since the agreement came into effect, he took office as the guardian of Qingye City.
He is no longer the dispensable sixth prince of the Kingdom of Peliu.
As long as he acts impartially in Qingye and effectively communicates with both sides, the Allied forces will be able to crush the Bixia people's conspiracy and continue to attack it.
Situ Yu said again: "You should prepare more guards when you go out, so as not to become a thorn in the side of the Bixia people."
Kang Lang smiled and said: "I will obey your words!"
Then he also said goodbye and strode away.
These days, he has many ideas for Qingye, and now he can't wait to put them into practice.
At this point, the Qingye dispute has been resolved, and a big stone has been lifted from the hearts of all the Allied forces.
Situ Yu looked at Kang Lang's excited back and praised: "The master of Yangshan Islands is indeed talented."
The confidants around me didn’t understand: “Marshal?”
"The hometown association, backed by the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce, has contacted many talents. But those with real power like He'er are in the minority after all." The Situ family took up the banner of anti-Bixia, and the Situ father and son worked together to achieve their goals.
There is a division of labor, "Most of the members of the hometown association are children of aristocratic families like Kang Laoliu. They have a status of a famous family and are eager to try, but in fact they are just idlers."
"Ah... you see it really accurately."
"This time the hometown meeting was planned well, and Kang Laoliu became the key figure in resolving the Qingye dispute. With him at the forefront, other idle people from aristocratic families will definitely look at the hometown meeting with new eyes, and hope that they will be supported and ride on the wind from now on.
Let's rise." Situ Yu chuckled, "He Lingchuan not only helped us and the Allies, but also raised a banner for his hometown association and gained a good reputation."
Killing three eagles with one stone is nothing. What is really remarkable is that He Lingchuan has not shown up yet.
Outsiders thought he was just a wealthy businessman from outside.
Thinking of this, Situ Yu was slightly shocked again.
He Lingchuan's act of secretly supporting Kang Laoliu was just like how He Lingchuan helped his father and son defeat Bixia. He also used the method of setting an example and setting an example, allowing himself to be in the middle of the Golden Flash Plains, like a fish in water, and became the fragrance that all the countries and forces competed to please.
cake.
Even Yao Kingdom sent envoys to contact Yang Shan - He Lingchuan never hid this from Situ and his son.
Situ Yu still remembers his generous helping hand, but what exactly does the He Island Master want to do in the Golden Gold Plains?
People always have a purpose in doing things, right? But Situ Yu still hasn't seen it through.
Is all He Lingchuan doing so that Yangshan's commercial business can be spread across the Golden Plains? It seems like this, and it seems like it's more than that.
While he was thinking, he walked back to his tent unconsciously.
