Chapter 1602 Beware of trouble coming from your mouth
"Master Qiu has been looking haggard recently and lost a lot of weight." He Lingchuan said softly, "Here are a few soul-replenishing pills, which can really nourish the soul and repair the essence. One pill can be effective. Master Qiu works hard on weekdays and uses it.
Just the right situation."
Qiu Long is with King Yao. What good things have you not seen? He will not take it lightly. But there is a saying that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. The older King Yao gets, the weirder his temper becomes. He will fall out at the slightest disagreement.
Qiu Long was really distracted when he was around him.
He has a lot of cultivation and is still very tough, but his energy is no longer as good as that of a young man. He is really afraid that King Yao will start to think that he is dull. When he heard that He Xiao gave him a soul-repairing pill, he smiled: "Okay, okay, congratulations."
The island owner is interested."
There are very few elixirs that can nourish and repair the soul. This is indeed what he needs right now. With He Xiao's position and vision, it is a must-have item that he can get his hands on.
He Lingchuan added: "These pills are delicate and must be kept warm in this ruby box. The lid cannot be opened for more than ten breaths each time, otherwise they will easily deteriorate and become ineffective."
Qiu Long nodded and said, "Island Master He really wants to leave our country?"
In fact, he doesn't believe it, and neither does King Yao. In the past few months, He Xiao has thrown out his arms and confronted Qingyang. Sometimes the mud he throws out almost splashes Qingyang's face. How arrogant? Now, he is really
Would you be timid just because a Cao heard about it?
"To be honest, I can't bear it." He Lingchuan said the lie frankly. "In half a year in Tianshui City, the benefits will be far greater than in the past ten years. No one else would want to leave. But, alas, there is some chaos inside and outside the city.
And I always feel that the Supervisory State is secretly planning to attack me—doesn’t what happened to Cao Wendao prove that what I feel is true?”
He then added: "Seeing that the emperor's liquid is about to explode, I——"
There was nothing more to say, but he shook his head.
"Your Majesty said that you are safe, and you are safe in Tianshui City." Qiu Long comforted him, "He Island Master, don't worry."
He escorted He Lingchuan outside the Chunhua Gate, then turned around and went back. The small palace attendant accompanied He Lingchuan out of the palace.
Throughout the whole process, He Lingchuan made no other requests. Qiu Long accepted his gift and felt at ease.
It's a bad idea to only give gifts when you need them. The person receiving the gift doesn't like others to get straight to the point, so you need to cultivate feelings and build a good relationship. When you use it, you only need to say hello and understand.
Otherwise, why would He Lingchuan always be surrounded by so many officials?
Now Qiu Long went around to Danshanfang and took out the ruby box that He Lingchuan gave him to look at it.
The light box is carved from a whole piece of spiritual jade, and there are rune formations on it.
He opened the box, and the fragrance was fragrant. There were seven peanut-sized elixirs lying on the brocade velvet. They were green and sparkling, and looked very good.
Qiu Long picked up one and said to the palace guard behind him: "Take it in and test it as soon as possible."
"yes!"
After a while, the palace guard rushed out to report:
It is non-toxic, and the main ingredient may be guava.
Qiu Long pinched half of the elixir and gave it to the palace guard: "I'll give it to you."
The palace guard thanked him for the reward, took it and swallowed it in one gulp.
As soon as the pill entered his stomach, he felt refreshed, and the fatigue from working the night shift for three consecutive days was gone. He felt as comfortable as if he had slept soundly for ten hours after taking a bath in the hot spring.
Even the swelling and black spots under his eyes miraculously disappeared, making him look radiant.
He Xiao did not exaggerate, this medicine does have miraculous effects.
Qiu Long took him to go on errands. After another hour, the palace guard was still in excellent condition without any discomfort. Only then did Qiu Long take the remaining half of the pill.
Well, it feels so good!
Being with the king makes even my mind become more flexible.
So Qiu Long hid the ruby box close to his body.
In this room, He Lingchuan walked towards the palace gate under the guidance of the palace attendant. When he passed by the Liuhua Pavilion, he heard someone's voice coming from inside.
"What!" The man was probably very surprised, his voice rose five degrees, "What do you think happened to Brother Zhao?"
"Zhao Siao went out drinking the night before and didn't return at dawn. His family went out to look for it and finally found it in a ditch, but it was too late." Someone else sighed, "Maybe he drank too much and slipped and slipped."
"Impossible, Brother Zhao always drinks. When did you see him drink his fourth drink?"
"The government invited the man for an autopsy yesterday. He was indeed drowned. There was water in his lungs, but his whole body was uninjured. There was still half a penny of alcohol floating in the canal."
"That……"
As soon as the man from before said something, he was interrupted: "Don't ask, asking too many questions will not do you any good. You and I know very well what Zhao Siao wants to get involved in recently."
"Treasury in various places..."
"Hush!" Everyone wanted to cover this guy's mouth tightly, "What kind of place is this? Be careful that trouble comes from your mouth!"
"What we know, don't the princes and nobles know? Don't Master You and the others know?" Someone else said, "They all pretend to be ignorant, so what are we going to do?"
He Lingchuan stepped forward carefully and walked over with the young palace servants. Sure enough, he saw that there were no high officials in the pavilion.
The morning court was about to start, and these officials didn't like the turbid air in the room, so they temporarily took a few breaths of clean and fresh air-conditioning in the Liuhua Pavilion and chatted a few words.
Who in the royal court doesn't know you? All the officials in the pavilion came over and greeted He Lingchuan warmly.
He Lingchuan exchanged greetings with them and left.
No one noticed that the person who spoke for Zhao Siao earlier had an inconspicuous little spider hanging on his clothes.
This man's name is Huang Rulin, and he is a colleague of Zhao Siao. He became an official at almost the same time as him, and we can usually chat with him.
There was also a quarrel in the morning today, but Huang Rulin didn't listen carefully. He noticed that King Yao was sitting on the throne, covering his sleeves and yawning, as casually as he was.
After the court meeting ended, he declined the invitations from other colleagues to have dinner and went home directly.
When the lady saw him coming back empty-handed, she asked directly: "Where is the hairpin from Baoxianglou?"
"Uh." Huang Rulin then remembered that he had promised his wife to go to Baoxianglou to pick up customized jewelry last night, "I forgot!"
"What's the matter with you? You're so lost." The lady noticed that his face looked bad.
He told the truth: "Zhao Siao is gone. He was found dead in the canal yesterday morning."
The lady was startled: "Oh, this is such a big living person, how could it just disappear?"
Huang Rulin married the daughter of his mentor. She was not only a prosperous husband, but also good at giving him advice. He dragged his wife into the house, dismissed the servants, closed the doors and windows, and then said: "Wu Zuo said that he was drunk and fell into a canal and drowned.
"
"That's nonsense. Zhao Saki drinks less than you." The lady was suspicious, "He is too outspoken and doesn't hold back his words. Did he offend someone?"
Huang Rulin's voice dropped even lower: "I just remembered something. Zhao Siao mentioned to me a few days ago that there are problems with the military warehouses in the four northern towns and several places in the northwest. Moreover, the problems are not small."
