Jiao Yu leaned against the window and looked outside: "The two people watching in the attic opposite didn't know how to hide it. They didn't move for a long time."
"It's not just the two of them doing this job, so they both do well and badly."
The opponent tried every means to put some magical monitoring powers or small props into his house, but He Lingchuan held a treasure mirror and could sweep it out and clean it every time.
Then he went downstairs, whistling, and walked to the "Perfume Shop" a few dozen feet away, which was the bathhouse. He soaked in the bath for an hour, and then he felt relaxed and went to sleep.
Damn that Rain Pavilion on the east bank of Luan Lake. Mai Xuewen wants to catch him with just a note? He thinks too highly of himself.
If you want to cooperate, you have to show sincerity.
As soon as it gets dark and my eyes close, another night has passed.
Recently, things have been calm in the Panlong Dreamland. He Lingchuan practices every day without being disturbed. When he has time, he goes to the martial arts hall to compete in the ring. He is almost back to the initial state of practice where he forgot to sleep and eat.
After the battle with the Fan brothers, he had a lot of insights to consolidate.
The experience of wandering between life and death is the most beneficial to the improvement of cultivation and state of mind. But it is too life-consuming.
...
That night, Cen Mansion.
Cheng Yu was still lying in the room, sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.
He had slept for more than ten hours and showed no signs of waking up. However, his complexion improved slightly and was no longer as pale as gold paper.
It can be seen that the restorative effect of sleep cannot be underestimated.
The guard guarding him had already changed several shifts, and was sitting on the edge of the bed with a yawn, occasionally glancing at the transparent shell on the table.
Uncle Wu had explained that whenever the red lantern at the door of the cabin inside was extinguished, they would have to open the screw shell stopper.
The lights are always on, this guy can really sleep.
Seeing that others were sleeping soundly, he had to sit still and endure the pain. The guard was complaining when he heard the delicate sound of bells ringing outside.
Ding Ling Ling...
I heard that this is a warning of the arrival of something sneaky?
The guard was excited and stood at the door. He saw the bells on the west side of the rope bell array in the yard ringing.
Next step, that thing should enter the house?
But before he could retreat, the bell on the north side of the rope bell array suddenly rang. Then the bell outside the courtyard rang.
Then, the yard fell into silence again. Is that thing gone?
The guard looked back at the inner room. The bell in the room never rang.
What does this mean? The sneaky thing didn't enter the house, but turned a corner and headed north? What's to the north?
He did not dare to delay and asked someone to report to Uncle Wu.
After the explanation, he looked at the figure of his companion heading north and scratched his head:
North?
There are many people living in the north, and Uncle Wu seems to live in the north too.
This incident also alarmed Cen Boqing. The next day, he asked people to get a lot of exorcism instruments to protect the house.
I don’t know if these magic weapons have taken effect and the sneaky things have stopped coming.-
The next day, it still rained.
The sound of rain hitting lotus leaves helped him fall asleep. He Lingchuan slept for an extra hour before getting up. He put on a bamboo hat and went to eat the famous local sesame seed beef sesame cakes, along with two bowls of Kueh Teow Soup.
Then he grabbed the tiger and went to the local scenic spot Xiaoling Mountain, where the "Lingshan Rain Weaving" spectacle is very famous.
Jiao Yu looked at his state with cold eyes. It didn't look like he was investigating a case, and it didn't look like someone was worrying about his life at all times. Instead, he looked like he was on vacation at public expense.
It was getting darker and darker, and it couldn't help but remind the heartless envoy: "You still remember that we have no evidence in hand to convict Cen Boqing directly, right?" He Lingchuan shrugged.
"The Cen Mansion has been searching for Fu Songhua's whereabouts. It is only a matter of time before he is found. With the Fan brothers present, you and I can't stand in the way, right?"
He Lingchuan held a piece of maltose in his mouth and nodded repeatedly: "Yes."
Last time he snatched Fu Songhua purely by force, but now the opponent has the Fan brothers to control the situation.
The power is no longer with me. If He Lingchuan takes action again, it will give Fan Sheng a chance to use his killer move -
That guy's hammer hurts people hard.
The magistrate of Tian County had just sent someone to report that Fan Sheng's forty or fifty men had just arrived in Baishaqiang.
This seems to be the summoned one. It seems that Fan Sheng is not on official duty, otherwise not only the Fan brothers ambushed He Lingchuan at the inn last time?
According to the law of Bega, military commanders are not allowed to lead troops when they are not on official duty and are not allowed to lead troops. They can only lead a maximum of eight personal guards.
"Then you are still so leisurely?" The tiger glared at him.
This was a genuine eye-catching attack. Most people would have been stared at until their legs were weak, but He Lingchuan didn't care after watching it for so long.
"Do you have a plan in mind?"
"What bamboo?" He Lingchuan looked confused, "What's the plan?" "Hey..." Just pretend to be stupid.
However, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps outside, and then there was a knock on the door, interrupting the tiger's questioning.
The two looked at each other. The footsteps were heavy, not like those of practitioners. "Who is it?"
Someone responded: "I'm bringing you bath water."
This was the voice of the store clerk. He Lingchuan had already recognized it after listening to it for several days, but now he felt that his tone was a bit strange: "When do I need bath water?"
"Just now, did you forget?"
He Lingchuan was slightly dazed. He waved his hand and the strong wind blew, and the door opened. There were three guys standing outside, carrying a large wooden barrel.
As soon as He Lingchuan gave up, they moved the bucket into the guest room and put it away, and poured hot water one after another. He watched from the side.
Ever since he moved into Bai Shaqian, in order to prevent plots, he always went to the public bathhouse to bathe. He had never ordered a big wooden bucket in the guest room.
So which song is this sung from?
The others collected the rewards and left, but the last one closed the door and turned to look at He Lingchuan.
This guy's eyes were straight, no longer bright as usual, and he no longer had a smile on his face. He walked in and said in an indifferent tone:
"Prince's special envoy?" Tiger suddenly stood up.
He Lingchuan waved his hand at it, looked at the waiter and thought for a few breaths, and then asked: "Are you Mai Xuewen?"
Is this guy Mai Xuewen who has been lurking in the dark? Jiao Yu was startled, looked at his eyes carefully, and felt something was wrong:
"You turned the store clerk into a puppet?"
"I'm just using him as a sounding board." The waiter said calmly, "No need to look for me, I'm far away."
He Lingchuan used eyeball spiders to spy on Zhongsun Mou's interrogation, and learned that Mr. Mai had planted eye mites in the eyes of the old janitor in Shuanglu Town to monitor his opponents.
The world is full of wonders, and of course there are various surveillance methods. Now he probably does the same thing, but uses an extra magical power to control people's minds.
"You hide your head and show your tail, how do I know if you are the real Mai Xuewen?"
The clerk immediately said: "Did you get the pearls I hid in the painting? There are three in total, as well as four account books, a secret code, and a ruby ring that I always wear."
Indeed, only Mai Xuewen and He Lingchuan knew this. As expected, these guys couldn't wait any longer and came to see He Lingchuan first.
Who cannot sit still and who is passive.
He Lingchuan immediately closed the window and placed a barrier: "The whole northern part of Chiyan has been disturbed by you. Why are you coming to my place now?"
Everyone has to close the window when taking a shower so it's inconspicuous.
Mai Xuewen spoke: "The prince's special envoy is so courageous. He is in a dangerous situation and can still eat well and sleep well."
He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows. This guy really knew his situation well: "Oh? Where does the danger come from?"
"Kill the prince's special envoy, and all their current troubles will be solved." Mai Xuewen looked at him and said, "You are in danger in Baishazhen, and so many people want to get rid of you. Of course you already knew it, otherwise How could the conjurer invited by the Cen Mansion fail in his plot?"
He Lingchuan's heart moved slightly: "That guy is of a high rank?"
"He once cursed and killed the king of a country and became famous in one battle."
Tiger interrupted: "What country has no Yuanli?" How can a dignified king be taken advantage of by evil spirits? Unless the country's power is declining, almost to the point of decline.
none.
"I don't know the specifics." The store clerk controlled by Mai Xuewen tilted his head and looked at He Lingchuan carefully. "It's really surprising that you were able to escape from him."
"Let's get down to business." He Lingchuan poured himself a glass of water, "You're here to surrender to me, right?"
Mai Xuewen smiled: "If I wanted to surrender, why would I have spent so much effort laying out clues for you?"
He Lingchuan asked a long-standing doubt: "Who do you work for?"
"Give it to myself." Mai Xuewen took a long breath, "I have a deep hatred for the people behind the scenes, so I lurked into their team to collect clues and evidence, and then I found an opportunity to hand it over to capable people."
He Lingchuan pointed at himself. The capable person, did you mean him?
"Is it your order to kill monsters and obtain pearls in Shibata Township?"
"It's me." Mai Xuewen didn't deny it. "How can I win the trust of the Cen family if I don't do anything?"
He even said: "Of the six downlines that Wu Kai took care of for Cen Boqing, I always turned in the most money and caused the least trouble."
Good guy, Infernal Affairs. He Lingchuan touched his nose: "I bet you are still a business model?"
Mai Xuewen shrugged: "If you want to do it, you have to do your best."
"You have quite a few innocent souls under your command."
Mai Xuewen said calmly: "Survival of the fittest has always been Bega's only law. If you stay here for a long time, you will also agree."
Those monsters were killed because they were too weak and naturally became the meal of the strong.
"So, Cen Boqing actually killed monsters and obtained pearls in the entire Bejia area?"
"That's right. But I have been searching for many years, and I still don't know the specific members and locations of the other five groups." Mai Xuewen said, "Wu Kai is very cautious and never tells me more."
Jiao Yu interrupted: "What is he doing collecting pulp beads? Does he really want to refine the elixir?"
"In the past, part of it was sent to refine the elixir, and part of it was washed as foreign goods, so that it could be imported openly." Mai Xuewen explained, "But recently, the supply of elixir is in short supply, and they probably don't have any extra beads to wash outside."
.”
"Whitewash?" He Lingchuan asked curiously, "Can this kind of thing be imported openly?"
"Of course, as long as Bejia needs it." There was a hint of sarcasm in Mai Xuewen's voice, "Otherwise, where do you think the raw material for the elixir that the emperor was rewarded came from? Just kill the monsters in your country to get the pearls, and it would be easy to spread the word.
Arouse public outrage.”
"Importing from outside, the people will not beep." Those who died were also foreign monsters, so of course the monsters of Bega didn't matter.
