He Lingchuan raised his glass and said to Du Shan: "For your words, it should be clear. Come on!"
Du Shan also laughed, and the two raised their glasses and drank the wine together.
He Lingchuan simply called the waiter and said: "Bring five jars of Qinxiangchun and fill them for everyone. If five jars are not enough, bring in five more jars."
All the students were overjoyed: "Congratulations Xiao!" Not all students from the Imperial College have a good family background and can afford five taels of Qinxiangchun.
"After Prince Huan set the fire, the emperor invited me and the prince to go to the heavenly palace to appease him." He Lingchuan threw a large silver ingot to the waiter and said with great pride, "Why should I keep these pensions? Why don't I treat everyone to a drink today!"
Everyone was smiling.
Zheng Zewu, Gao Jilin and Du Shan frowned.
The emperor is usually at the Lingxiao Palace on Tianxin Island, so why would he recruit Chiyan people to go to the Heavenly Palace to appease him?
Is there something involving the gods involved here?
The water is so deep.
This time, everyone was having a drink at Xiangmanlou until the sun set, and then they decided to return home.
He Lingchuan went to check out, but before he even took out his wallet, the shopkeeper smiled brightly:
"No need, Mr. He, Manager Fang of Dunyuan has just arranged the marriage on your behalf."
He Lingchuan wondered: "He left a long time ago. We just drank so much wine. How did he pay the bill?"
"Manager Fang often entertains guests here, and the accounts are usually settled every month."
Being wealthy is different. They drank at least thirteen jars of wine just now, which is sixty-five taels of silver, sixty-five thousand dollars!
In comparison, Caijin is not worth mentioning.
"Mr. Fang is really particular about people." He Lingchuan knew that Fang Canran was trying to show him some face in front of the imperial students. He was not pretentious, patted his sleeves and was about to leave when the shopkeeper lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Fang also left something for you. Got a note."
After saying that, he handed over a note.
The Tongxin Guards were blocked by He Lingchuan's back, and their hand movements could not be seen clearly.
He Lingchuan quickly took the note and threw it into the storage ring, laughing: "I'm sorry, let's go."
￥￥￥￥￥
It's night, and the moon is high.
He Lingchuan sneaked to the back hill of Pianxiang Villa. The tall and dense fir bushes grew into a tight wall of trees.
He walked through the wall of trees and touched a real wall.
This wall is the dividing line between Pianxiang Villa and the neighbor's house next door.
Someone has always lived next door. The head of the household is named Shi, and he is also an official in the royal court.
Tonight, his house was brightly lit, and there were often voices, as if a banquet was being held.
There was a small turret on the wall, which was built for viewing. He Lingchuan saw someone waving to him inside.
Fang Canran.
He jumped over in two steps and found that there was a low stool in the pavilion.
"Why did Mr. Fang invite me to a place like this?" It was dark, secluded and inaccessible.
"I'm a guest at Shi's house tonight, and I just want to have a chat with you." Fang Canran smacked his chin in the direction of the main building, and laughter followed the wind. It sounded like both the host and the guest were happy, "There are so many people drinking and drinking, and I'm not missing one for the time being. People discovered it.”
He took out another rectangular mirror: "The heart-piercing mirror has been repaired and can be used as usual." After saying this, he taught He Lingchuan the usage instructions and explained its usage.
This was one of his apology to He Lingchuan.
He Lingchuan accepted it, remembered it carefully, and then sat down: "What else do you want to talk about?"
Fang Canran casually set up a barrier first to prevent the voice from leaking: "娨锟斤拷."
He Lingchuan was stunned, looking at him from top to bottom.
The other party came to your door in the middle of the night and actually wanted to talk about the mountains and swamps of Xushan Mountain?
"Are you really so surprised?" Fang Canran said, "Didn't you already know what I was going to say?"
He Lingchuan blinked: "What did you say?"
It was indeed difficult to negotiate on the basis of the lack of integrity on both sides. Fang Canran had no choice but to make it clear: "娨Ju asked me for some information, saying that someone wanted to use it."
"Oh——" He Lingchuan suddenly realized, "It turns out to be you."
In fact, when He Lingchuan received the note from the restaurant owner in the afternoon, He Lingchuan had guessed that it was something like this.
It doesn’t require much rational analysis, it’s just intuitive.
Fang Canran has big plans in Lingxu City, and he should be indispensable for this kind of excitement.
"How did you know you were looking for me?" He Lingchuan asked him, "Xu Ju probably didn't see my face."
"I'm not sure." Fang Canran smiled, "But I think I can give it a try directly with you. After all, you are the only one who has mentioned Juju to me recently. Ha, isn't it sure now?"
The two looked at each other and suddenly laughed.
Okay, it's a game of intrigue. This time Fang Canran has the upper hand.
Although the two of them had made a contract with an oath chain before, neither one of them was willing to reveal their mission in Lingxu City. Now Ju Ju was in the middle, unintentionally piercing the window paper.
Fang Canran knew that He Lingchuan came to Lingxu City to cause sabotage, and He Lingchuan knew that Fang Canran was secretly in contact with Juju and was not well-intentioned. This violated the taboo of the Heavenly Palace.
After confirming a common strong enemy, the relationship between the two parties suddenly became closer.
Fang Canran put away his smile, "What do you want to do?"
He Lingchuan leaned on the pillar and said leisurely: "I want to give a big gift to the Heavenly Palace."
The destruction of Panlong City in the past years was apparently caused by the Xianyou and Baling coalition forces, but He Lingchuan had long seen clearly that the main force behind the scenes was Bejia.
For him, who inherited the three-piece set of divine bones and the legacy of Panlong, this was an old grudge.
When he first entered the spiritual void, he came to do practical things and good things for the vast number of demon people in Bejia. However, the gods invaded his sea of consciousness without any explanation and imposed a soul judgment.
For him, this is a new revenge.
It’s not that I won’t report it, it’s that the time has not yet come.
But he will definitely find the most suitable time. Even if the old and new grudges cannot be repaid at once, at least they must be settled in batches!
Let’s start with the first liquidation by sending a big gift to the Heavenly Palace.
Fang Canran was puzzled: "Big gift?"
"How about a lively and free Juju?"
Fang Canran looked at him for a long time, confirming that he was not joking, then shook his head: "You are trying to commit suicide."
He understood that this person actually wanted to destroy the spirit gathering formation under the eyes of Tiangong and release the Torch.
This has also been the wish of Tuju for many years. Although Fang Canran has been on the line with it for a long time, he has never dared to actually implement it.
If he hadn't fought against He Lingchuan, he would probably have doubted whether this kid was really crazy or pretending to be stupid.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He Lingchuan touched his nose.
"How do you want me to cooperate?" Fang Canran asked again, "The Juju is very suspicious. It took me several years to get close to it before I got its clone. You only went there once?"
"Yeah." There was a wild cat wandering underneath. He Lingchuan threw a pebble down, and the cat ran away with a puff of smoke. "Xuju has an old friend, and I went there with his token. It was a shortcut.
.”
"Let me say it first, I can cooperate, but you have to take care of your big things yourself." Fang Canran raised a finger and shook it, "Don't drag me into the water."
"Don't worry, I'm only buying things from you and looking for information. I don't need you to act with me."
This is settled.
"Then let me give you some information first." Fang Canran said, "I got a figure here. In the past seven years, Tiangong purchased 50,000 kilograms of meat every month."
"Fifty thousand catties?" He Lingchuan was startled, "How many people are there in the Tiangong?"
"In addition to a few leaders, there are also 72 lamp keepers, 400 divine attendants, 900 Heavenly Palace guards, and 1,800 Xushan guards. In addition, there are 800 handymen." Fang Canran was very interested in these numbers.
He understood clearly, "The total is probably less than 4,010. The total number fluctuates occasionally, but it's pretty much the same."
"Forty thousand people consume 50,000 kilograms of meat per month?" He Lingchuan counted with his fingers, "Twelve kilograms per person per month, four taels per day. Ouch, this food is great."
Fang Canran smiled, knowing that he was speaking sarcastically: "Have you ever seen how many servants eat meat every meal? Even the divine attendants and guards do not have such a high quota."
Those more than two thousand troops are just garrison troops. They are neither fighting nor training. How can such a high consumption be incurred?
He Lingchuan remembered that the common people in the capital city of Yuan Kingdom could only eat meat once every thirty days. In contrast, even the people in Lingxu City had no chance to eat meat every day. To take a step back, even if the Tiangong treats everyone equally, the food for everyone will not be enough.
Everything is fine, but if each person counts three taels of meat per day, they only eat more than 36,000 kilograms per month. Where did the more than 10,000 kilograms go?
Fang Canran then added: "And among the meat purchased by Tiangong, many additional hooves, tails and heads of cattle, sheep, donkeys and horses are purchased. Do you think this is normal food?"
"It's not for Juju." The fire spirit doesn't like blood food at all, so it can be ruled out. He Lingchuan rubbed his chin and thought for a while, "Maybe some of the monsters guarding the Tiangong Palace like to chew their heads and claws."
Just like he likes to eat duck neck and chicken feet, the prerequisite is that they are smoked and marinated well.
"But you're right. I'm afraid I bought these leftover materials for other purposes. Maybe the buyers from Tiangong will pass off inferior ones and line their own pockets."
"Anyway, I'll let you know." Fang Canran looked at him and said, "Xu Mountain is heavily defended. In the past, so many experts tried to sneak in and destroy it, but they all failed. Qi Ju knew this, but he still thought you could give it a try...
What do you have to rely on?"
This is back to the topic: "The Great Spirit Gathering Formation is the foundation of Xushan Mountain. I have a way to shake it, as long as I find its formation eye."
Fang Canran shook his head: "The formation eye is usually hidden in the void. Unless you walk directly from the Star Picking Tower to the teleportation formation, no one can find it."
"No, it is hanging over the Xu Mountain now. It only blocks the perception of all living beings. Even the Juju can't see it."
"you sure?"
"I'm not sure, I have to find a chance to try it." The plan must be carried out step by step, "This is the premise for our action."
"Is the role of Ju Ju important?"
"It's very heavy." He Lingchuan said sternly, "Without its great power, I wouldn't be able to conquer the world by myself."
"Its clone isn't here right now, is it?"
He Lingchuan shook his head.
Fang Canran then took out a pair of shackles from his arms and handed them to He Lingchuan:
"The oath chains you asked for are the last ones I have."
How to make Tuoju carry out the agreement to the letter is something that He Lingchuan has been thinking about repeatedly recently and has made several plans.
But none are as simple and straightforward as the Vow Chain.
"I have seen that Juju has deceived others, and I cannot make the same mistake again. Your choice is very wise."
