King Yao shook his head: "Look at him confronting Qingyang, this man is obviously very bold."
"He Xiao relied on your power to gain the upper hand over the Supervisor Country." Qiu Long said sternly, "He relied on the name of the Yao Country to make his Chamber of Commerce famous in Shanjin. In the past few months, the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce has
It is indeed blooming everywhere in the Golden Plains and developing rapidly."
It was rare that the old palace man failed to grasp King Yao's intentions, and the latter glanced at him: "Look, he might have come here just for Qingyang, and that's why he has stayed in Tianshui City for so long. Is there some personal enmity between them?
"
Ah this? The old palace man was startled, what the Lord meant... He suddenly realized: "Yes! That's why he is not afraid of going against Qingyang Supervisor at every turn. It's because he came here for this, and he hates it."
His death! My lord has great insights, and this old slave suddenly became enlightened."
If the master says yes, then it must be.
"That's right." King Yao twitched his beard and smiled, "Since He Xiao has such evil thoughts, you should send someone to keep an eye on him and don't let him mess around."
"Yes." Qiu Long knew very well that this old master sometimes liked to tell the truth.
King Yao said again: "Also, issue a wanted order for Cao Wendao. As long as he is in Tianshui City, he will be seen alive and his body will be seen dead."
According to Yang Chi's oral description, a portrait can be drawn.
Finally no longer continuing the frightening topic, Qiu Long quickly agreed.
"Just one Cao Wendao is involved in so many secrets!" King Yao's eyes were gloomy, "Qingyang must have more shady tricks, which are detrimental to our Yao country!"
"Check! Check all the people who have been in contact with Qingyang in the past three months! I want to know what they have said to Qingyang and what they have done!"
The room finally warmed up. King Yao sat down again and exhaled heavily:
"Bega, hey!"
…
Youhu small house.
A fish-belly white color appeared in the east, and Qingyang looked out the window for the fourth time.
The old tree was quiet and quiet, with no visitors staying.
There was neither a message from a demon bird nor a message from supernatural powers. Since the Battle of Taoxi, Cao Wen Dao was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there has been no news at all.
The more time passes, the slimmer the chances of him surviving.
Then, it was daybreak.
Qingyang stood up and felt a little tired.
I'm so tired.
She obviously has a big plan in hand, and everything else should be given priority, but now Bai Ziqi suddenly arrives, and now Cao Wendao disrupts the situation, they all focus on a side issue.
How many associations and details could Cao Wendao make King Yao create? None of them were beneficial to her.
But she couldn't help but tell King Yao, don't think too much, I didn't do any of that.
Because King Yao doesn’t believe her at all!
She has no way to prove her innocence.
In the past two months, she changed her previous style and began to keep a low profile and live in seclusion. It took a lot of effort to get King Yao to relax his vigilance and stop paying too much attention to her; now it's better, Cao Wendao and his demon puppet have been exposed, and King Yao is now
He is probably angry and hateful towards her, and will definitely try his best to keep an eye on her.
These two months of forbearance have all been in vain!
If King Yao wants to deal with Bega even if he offends her, will he still give her a chance to carry out his plan?
Qingyang thought for a long time, walked out of the house, faced east and took a deep breath.
Yuan Xuan immediately stepped forward: "Palace Master."
"Tell Bai Tan to take the first step in launching the plan." Qingyang warned him, "Be careful during the interrogation. From today on, there will be countless Yao King spies around us."
"yes!"
"By the way, have you sent someone to inquire about Wei Yishan?"
Yuan Xuan replied: "It has been dispatched, and there should be news back by tomorrow night at the latest."
"He Xiao's strength needs to be re-evaluated." Qingyang pondered, "He Xiao himself was stopped by me at that time, and his men were able to make Cao Wendao more dangerous. It can be seen that the power around him is also hidden, unlike
It looks so thin on the surface.”
"Excellent." She said slowly, "He Xiao looks more like Emperor Jiuyou. But I want to know, why hasn't he left yet?"
Maybe He Xiao already knows that the current situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to him, and the days that King Yao can keep him are numbered. People tend to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so why hasn't he left Tianshui City yet?
What is he waiting for?
She had previously deduced that He Xiao's purpose in coming to Yao Country might be similar to hers. Then he would probably be able to smell the undercurrent in Tianshui City. Once this undercurrent breaks out, it will almost crush the weak to pieces.
Of course, He Xiao may not think that he is weak. If he is really the Great Emperor of Jiuyou, does he plan to stay and make trouble?
"In the past few days, pay attention to He Xiao's movements."
Yuan Xuan agreed, and then asked: "What if he sneaks away quietly?"
The palace master's focus is on the upcoming big event, will he be distracted from dealing with He Xiao?
"It's up to Bai Ziqi to deal with him." Qingyang's eyes flashed slightly, "Isn't Bai Ziqi's mission in coming to Shanjin to find Emperor Jiuyou? They are a perfect match."
The opposite is right.
"In the past, He Xiao would pat his butt and leave after committing a crime. He could go anywhere in the world; now, can he run to the Golden Plains or the Yangshan Islands?" Qingyang said leisurely, "This man has it.
Once a foundation is established, it is like a tree that has roots that cannot be removed if they are rooted in."
Therefore, as long as Bai Ziqi finds out that He Xiao is Emperor Jiuyou, he is not afraid of him running away.
As far as Qingyang knew, the Yangshan Islands were booming, and the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce was blooming everywhere in the Shining Gold Plains. He Xiao would definitely be reluctant to leave all this behind and flee for the world.
As for herself, she only needs to concentrate on completing the tasks assigned by the emperor.
Yuan Xuan whispered: "King Yao has never asked you to enter the palace."
He had previously informed the palace lord that Zhao Song left Yongquan Villa and entered the palace overnight.
It's already dawn, so it stands to reason that King Yao should have heard the news.
"He thinks he knows the truth, and now he is thinking about how to deal with me." Qingyang sneered, "Ignorant old guy, he wants to be used as a gunman again."
It made her have to adjust her plan quickly.
But it doesn't matter. Whether King Yao hates her or not, it doesn't matter in the end.
"Besides, what's the point of him looking for me? I know everything he wants to ask, and he also knows what I'm going to say." Qingyang said leisurely, "I just went out for a walk last night, and congratulated you.
Xiao said a few words, but he didn't do anything or hurt anyone. What questions does he have?"
She asked Yuan Xuan again: "Where is the north?"
"No new summons."
"At this time, no news is good news." Qingyang broke off a long ice edge from under the eaves and pinched it lightly, "Everything that should be arranged has basically been arranged. If it is not a big deal later, you should not contact them.
"
Yuan Xuan knew who "they" were.
With a snap, the ice edge broke into several pieces in Qingyang's hands. She waved her hand and wiped off the water drops on her fingertips.
A few days later, the kingdom that King Yao thought was stable turned out to be so fragile!
…
After dawn, He Lingchuan entered the palace.
After seeing King Yao, he bowed and addressed himself as "Your Majesty," without any expression on his face the whole time.
King Yao asked him a question, and he answered, no more, no less.
Qiu Long winked at him a few times, but he pretended not to notice.
The story of last night, of course, starts with Cao Wen Dao coming to visit He Lingchuan in disguise a few days ago. The assassin must step on the plate to find out the target's environment before taking action. Not to mention Cao Wen Dao, any thieves would do this.
Zhao Song and the palace guards stationed at Yongquan Villa could all prove that Cao Wendao had indeed entered the Villa and chatted and ate with He Lingchuan.
As a victim, He Lingchuan certainly has the right to ask questions. He is not a suspect and does not need to prove the motive of the murder.
King Yao summoned him to the palace, asking for some details and comparing them with the information Zhao Song had. Finally, he found that there were no discrepancies, so he comforted him with a few words.
Seeing that he didn't mention Qingyang at all, He Lingchuan coughed lightly and said: "Your Majesty, the eastward expansion project of the capital is on the right track. Lord You and the fourth prince can completely take over, and I can resign and say goodbye."
King Yao was shocked and displeased: "Tianshui's eastward expansion has not reached four months, and you want to be the boss? He Xiao, that's not what you promised me at the beginning."
When he said this, he felt a little sad in his heart. There were so many civil and military officials in the Yao court, but they couldn't find anyone who could replace He Xiao!
As long as there are one or two people who can take care of you, why would he be so passive?
He Xiao has been so popular in Tianshui City in the past few months that even Bai Ziqi, the envoy of the Tiangong Duyun, asked for a salary for him, although the monthly salary approved by King Yao was only a mere five hundred taels.
Yao Ting officials also rushed to curry favor with He Xiao, who didn't know how much benefit he got. King Yao alone knew that the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce suddenly had more than 2,500 business orders.
It has only been half a year since a foreign businessman first arrived in Tianshui City, but his business has been so big? Isn't it because the power given to him by King Yao can be realized?
On the other hand, He Xiao has made a lot of money in Tianshui City, but now that he has not finished his work, he wants to leave with a wave of his sleeves?
He Lingchuan looked helpless: "I also hope that there will be a beginning and an end, but there are people who are determined to take my life. I am really worried about staying in Tianshui City. It is unlucky for me to find a Cao Wendao. If there is another one, and the next one, say
Maybe I will follow in the footsteps of my superior Situ He."
King Yao indeed sent 900 elite soldiers to protect him, but wasn't Situ He also on his side at the beginning? He still couldn't escape Cao Wendao's plot.
"There can be no place safer than Tianshui City in the Shining Gold Plains." King Yao said proudly, "If you can't escape assassination here, you will be dead if you go to other places."
He Lingchuan smiled bitterly.
King Yao softened his tone and said: "Put your heart back in your stomach. I will provide you with extra security to ensure that you are safe in Tianshui City!"
He Lingchuan had no choice but to thank him, because King Yao still had unspoken subtext:
Don't be ignorant, don't toast and eat as a penalty.
He was a popular figure in front of King Yao. Usually Qiu Long would take him to the gate of Yuquan Palace, but this time he accompanied him three hundred feet to the gate of Chunhua Palace.
"It's cold and the road is slippery. Master Qiu, please stop." He Lingchuan said politely, as if reaching out to help the old palace lady, he blocked it with his sleeve and secretly stuffed a small box into her.
Qiu Long was very familiar with this set of actions, so he took it calmly, but felt a slight coldness on the bottom of his hands.
