"Take it away?" The owner of the red house was a little surprised, "What kind of black cavalry would mind such nosy matters?"
"Pure black light armor that I have never seen before. It is made of high quality and does not reflect light at night." The tall and thin man was the demon puppet master who appeared in Green Villa a few days ago. "Everyone wears a mask, and his combat power is incredible."
.”
"Black cavalry wearing masks?" The owner of the red house thought for a while, "Does the leader wear a dragon head mask?"
The tall and thin man was surprised: "Ah, yes!"
"You..." How do you know? He was about to blurt it out subconsciously, but changed the content at the last second, "You are so wise!"
The owner of the red house pondered: "Where is the force that has emerged? This team of black-armored cavalry has been very active recently. Go on."
He is always paying attention to the changes taking place in nearby areas.
The black-armored cavalry is a new force that has emerged. They come and go without a trace, and the owner of the red house is also very interested.
"They first petrified your scorpion python, and then..."
The tall and lanky man described the battle process he saw.
"So, why did you not see the other two demon puppets being captured?"
"My subordinates are incompetent." The two demon puppets were driven to the cliff behind the Green Villa. Blocked by the trees, he could not see the scene of the battle. "By the time my Rosemary Bees rush to monitor, the battle there has ended."
He felt even more ashamed: "The other party, the other party also discovered the subordinate's location, and the subordinate had no choice but to throw himself into the water and escape."
Otherwise, it would be easy for the black-armored cavalry to kill the owner of Green Villa. Wouldn't it be easier and more satisfying to take down his lone demon puppet master?
"Where's Xiao An?"
"I can sense that she was originally in the northern part of the villa. At that time, the black-armored cavalry also chased Wumadan to the north courtyard. As a result, Xiao An was frightened away and disappeared again." The tall and thin man whispered, "
I followed the three-headed demon puppet all the way, but the opponent was extremely fast. Just thirty miles north..."
"Just lost it?"
The tall and thin man said dejectedly: "Yes."
He can track his demon puppet, but this sense fails shortly after chasing him away.
"Either the other party has blocked your tracking spell, or they have gone to a place where the spell cannot take effect." The owner of the red house stared at him coldly, "In short, your trip is a complete failure!"
The tall and thin man was sweating coldly and did not dare to speak.
After a while, the owner of the red cottage asked him: "Is there anything else that needs to be reported?"
If not, he will be punished. The tall and thin man hurriedly said: "Also, there are two more things. The day after Xiao An escaped, a dragon head statue suddenly appeared on the high wall of the gate tower of Green Villa. The subordinates returned
I discovered it when I was inspecting it, and I heard the servants in the village talking about it."
"There were visions wherever I passed, and it turned out to be quite a scene." The owner of the red house chuckled, "What else is there?"
"Pei Guo placed a reward on Xiao An near Chenjiazhuang, claiming that she was a witness to an important murder case." The tall and thin man whispered, "She was picked up and brought back to Chenjiazhuang."
"A lot of people died in Chenjiazhuang?" The owner of the red house looked deeply at him, "You didn't control the demon puppet well?"
The man murmured: "Yes, there are some casualties."
"Zhuangzi had less than a thousand people, but more than a hundred people died. Is this called 'having some'?"
It turns out that the adults already know! The tall and thin man's face turned even paler: "They, they go crazy when they see blood, it's really difficult to restrain them!"
He ordered the demon puppets to track Xiao An, but these things moved their index fingers when they smelled human scent, and the people of Chenjiazhuang began to resist again, further arousing the viciousness of the demon puppets.
Then, things got out of hand.
If he wants the demon puppet to restrain his ferocious nature and refine a higher level demon puppet, he still can't do it with his own abilities.
"Are you saying that the things I made are defective and don't work well?"
"No, no, it's because my subordinates are incompetent and not good at art!"
"The insect monster is more violent and acts more instinctively. I have warned you a long time ago." The owner of the Red House said in a cold tone, "Xiao An must never be exposed to the public again! But now the officials of the Pei State have begun to look for her. Only
I'm afraid that some thoughtful people will make some associations. You really caused me a lot of trouble."
"This subordinate deserves to die!" The tall and thin man nodded, his mouth bitter, "My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me! I will definitely find Xiao An!"
The owner of the red cottage didn't respond and just waved his hand.
The guards on both sides stepped forward and dragged the tall and thin man out.
His pleading could not be heard after the box door was closed.
"Here comes someone."
Someone immediately came out of the queue and fell in front of the case.
"Liu County has posted a notice offering a reward for Xiao An. Whenever there is news from all over the country, the local officials should know about it." The owner of the red house said, "You can go to Pei State for me and visit two people to ask."
"yes!"
…
Two days later, Fan Shuang, the special envoy of Yao Kingdom, came to visit.
This time he not only came by himself, but also brought four or five companions, ranging in age from their twenties to forties.
After Fan Shuang's enthusiastic introduction, He Lingchuan learned that these were second-generation officials and businessmen from Yao Kingdom, who had come specifically to get to know the owner of Yangshan Island.
Several cooperation agreements negotiated between Yang Shan and Yao Guoxin will be handled by them in the future.
So this is a gathering of old friends and new friends. Let's get to know each other first, and then we can open our hearts to doing business.
He Lingchuan couldn't bring them to the hometown party, so he opened a table in the private room of Zhuyin Tavern.
Fan Shuang asked He Lingchuan to go to the river first and take a step to talk. However, Wan Qifeng and other guards followed suit and were on guard.
He Lingchuan waved them all away before saying: "Brother Fan, don't be surprised. After Marshal Situ's incident, these men of mine have been watching me very closely."
"What's so strange? For such a loyal subordinate, even ten dozen of them are not too many for me." The smile on Fan Shuang's face disappeared fleetingly, "My king was also deeply shocked when he talked about the murder of Marshal Situ. Yesterday, he reported to Situ
The government sent condolences."
He Lingchuan looked at him and smiled without saying a word.
Of course Yao State cannot admit this kind of thing.
"Brother He, what's this expression?" Fan Shuang said sternly, "The murder of Marshal Situ really has nothing to do with our country. Our country has already made clarification to the Situ family."
"How dare I accuse you?" He Lingchuan shook his head, "But this area is truly a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. A master of unknown origin can even kill Marshal Situ. It's really beyond my imagination."
"Yes, Marshal Situ has passed away, and I don't know what direction the situation here is going to take." Fan Shuang came with a mission today. He coughed slightly and changed the subject, "Brother He, the treasure armor you brought last time has a great origin.
.”
"Which royal family member left it?" The royal emblem of the Yao Kingdom on the treasure armor is not something commoners or nobles dare to use.
"I took it back and presented it to the king. The palace quickly recognized that it was an object belonging to a certain prince. His son led a team to go to sea, but there was no news as soon as he left. There were also different opinions in the country." Fan Shuang whispered.
He said, "Unexpectedly, he encountered a hurricane in the Yangshan Sea. Alas, fate is determined by God."
"I see." He Lingchuan noticed that he made the cause and effect vague and did not even mention which prince he was the son of.
What can't be said clearly?
"Have these relics been returned to the family members?"
Fan Shuang hummed twice, and then asked: "Brother He, are there any other relics on the ship?"
He Lingchuan opened his mouth and answered: "Other relics? None. The ship was smashed to pieces by the reef. Even if there were any items, they would have been buried at the bottom of the sea long ago, right?"
There is still a lot of treasure on those ships, but he will not contribute it.
Of course, the shipwrecks in the Yangshan Sea and the treasures in the Yangshan Sea belong to the island owners.
"Ah, I mean some small objects, such as seals and seals." Fan Shuang reminded, "Those are worthless to outsiders, but they are useful to us. Brother He, think about it more carefully?"
"Seal?" He Lingchuan stroked his chin, closed his eyes and thought, "Hmm -"
Yes, indeed there is. Along with the armor and treasure, there are also some herbs and a few seals.
After Yao Guo got back the treasure armor, did he still want this back?
"To be honest, there are an astonishing number of shipwreck relics recovered from the Yangshan Islands in recent years. There are hundreds of seals alone. I wonder if there is anything you need in them." He Lingchuan asked him, "What words are engraved on the seal?
"
"Qinghong Baoqian."
"Okay, I'll send a message to Yangshan tomorrow morning to inquire."
Fan Shuang thanked him and then said to He Lingchuan: "Yang Shan has more and more frequent contacts with our country. Brother He has found important lost items for us. My king is very happy, so -"
He straightened his back, took out a gold-plated letter from his arms, and handed it over with both hands: "——On my king's fifty-ninth birthday, I specially invite He Lingchuan to attend the ceremony!"
He Lingchuan was moved, but it was hard to accept it for a moment.
King Yao was a stranger to him, and he knew that he was not a big deal in the eyes of King Yao. Why would the other party directly invite him to the banquet?
There are many levels of state banquet viewing. Most officials can only stand and watch. Only princes, nobles, capable ministers and guests specially invited by the Yao King have the privilege of attending the banquet.
To put it simply, ordinary officials can only stand at the bottom, and a few can sit at the top.
Fan Shuang said seriously: "Brother He, this is a great honor and cannot be refused."
On the Shining Gold Plains, receiving an invitation from King Yao was such a great honor that he could hardly imagine that anyone would push it away.
If he could seize this opportunity, he would be willing to break his head.
He Lingchuan smiled bitterly: "I have never made great contributions to Yao country, how can I enjoy such an honor?"
Originally, he only wanted to ask someone to give him gifts and did not want to wish him a birthday in person.
"Brother He, please don't refuse. My king has repeatedly asked me to tell you that he has high hopes for the bilateral relationship between Yaoguo and Yangshan."
On the other hand, if He Lingchuan refused to go without being rewarded, he would be destroying the relationship that was finally built.
Is King Yao trying to force the cow's head to drink water? He Lingchuan couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Fan should know my concerns best. In fact, I have another worry."
Therefore, he told Fan Shuang about the crash of the two rudders stationed in Yao State on the Yangshan Islands.
Fan Shuang was really shocked after hearing this: "Is this happening?"
He had been away from Yao Kingdom for a long time, so he might not know what happened in the country; besides, Xiancheng and Xialin were not important towns in Yao Kingdom, so how could Fan Shuang know everything about what happened there?
He didn't know, and King Yao probably didn't know either.
Even the king of Yao cannot be omniscient and omnipotent in his own territory.
