In the Haidu Palace City, Li Chenghu and Prime Minister Luo Ce were walking under the sunset when a figure came across the sky, alerting the guards in all directions.
Li Chenghu waved his hand, and the guards on all sides retreated, because the person who came was Xiang Lanxuan.
Xiang Lanxuan ignored her surroundings, landed in front of the two of them, and asked, "Your Majesty summoned me, what advice do you have?"
Li Chenghu didn't mince words, "There are some thorns coming from Amber Sea and they want to cause trouble. I shouldn't bother Xiang Daxing. However, some of the thorns are a bit prickly. Xiang Luo Ce may not be able to handle it alone. If Xiang Daxing can help,
If so, then there will be no problem. Suppressing the fighting power can also reduce the damage to the island."
Someone who needs two Gao Xuan to work together to deal with it? Xiang Lanxuan looked at their reactions and asked: "With the Master of Xiang Island here, what kind of thorn needs the prince to come forward?"
Xiang Luo Ce chuckled and said: "The 'Pear Blossom Lady' from 'Xuan Fei Valley'."
Xiang Lanxuan frowned. She had also received news about this person and knew that he had come to the Amber Sea, but she didn't make any move. She couldn't help but ask: "Old Lihua Demon? What did she do that made the prince want to take action?"
she?"
Li Chenghu calmly said: "I have received news that she intends to be detrimental to my adopted son."
The adopted son? The handsome boy from Taohuaju? Xiang Lanxuan was surprised, "Old Lihua Demon is quite sensible. If everyone is holding a happy event, even if no one comes, they will be there. Everyone who passes by will be polite.
Due to the friendship of the landlord, she would basically not offend anyone unless she took the initiative to provoke her. Although 'Xuan Fei Valley' is not far from Youjiao Port, she should not have any grudges with Taohuaju in normal times, not to mention that she is the adopted son of the prince.
You’re not so ignorant, are you?”
The reason why she spoke for that Pear Blossom Empress was because she was the one who occasionally received gifts from her.
There is a spiritual lake in Xuanfei Valley. There is a clam in the lake called "Ice Mirage" and a pearl produced called "Dingyan Pearl". It is a beauty product for ladies to keep their youth. Xiang Lanxuan is not young anymore, so naturally she is.
If you like it, how can you not appreciate it if the Pear Blossom Empress gives you such a gift?
Prime Minister Luo Ce glanced at Li Chenghu's reaction. It was Li Chenghu who asked him to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, but he was the one who drew up the list of "chickens". It was his intention to attack Lihua Empress, but he was unable to do it, so he asked Li Chenghu for help.
After all, he is a high-level monk, and he is an old demon who has been famous for a long time. He is not that easy to move, so Li Chenghu was still a little hesitant at first. However, Prime Minister Luo Ce's suggestion moved him. Since he only picked a part to scare the monkeys, he had to choose
A weighty "chicken" will result in weightiness.
Furthermore, the strength of this old pear flower demon is uncontrollable. If he really does something involving Lin Long later, it will be difficult for him and Luo Ce to deal with it. After all, at this time, it is indeed possible that he came to attack Hwarang and the others.
It is best to nip uncontrollable hidden dangers in the bud.
So Li Chenghu was persuaded, and the scene before him happened.
The reason why he was so targeted at the Lihua Empress was Xiang Luoce's selfish motives. Because he had suffered a loss at the hands of the Lihua Empress in his early years, he estimated that the Lihua Empress herself might not even remember it. He had not yet become famous at that time.
He felt that the Pear Blossom Empress probably never imagined that a small person who escaped death in her hands would become a high-tech master.
What happened back then has long since passed, and he can't say that he has any hatred. But since the other party has come to his territory, and it happened to happen to Li Chenghu, he doesn't mind a tit-for-tat incident, who will return it?
I can't feel energetic.
Li Chenghu: "If you know the identity or not, you will know after you are arrested and interrogated."
Xiang Luo Ce had a slight smile on his face, knowing that as long as he was caught, the old Lihua demon would have no chance of survival.
Xiang Lanxuan's eyebrows were cold and she said calmly: "If she really falls into the hands of the prince, will she still have a chance to survive? As far as I know, the prince is about to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, right? The old pear blossom demon is also unlucky, like
Why did the prince target the Amber tribe that was bloodbathed back then?"
Her news channels are not vegetarian either.
When Li and Xiang's eyes met, they immediately realized that the secret had been leaked, or that the people here had the eyes and ears of Dayesi.
However, it is not difficult to understand that there are many people to be targeted, and there are many people mobilized here. It is normal for Daye Secretary to notice it.
Li Chenghu: "It's not that I have targeted her, it's that she shouldn't have come here with evil intentions. Yin Guo and Dayesi are bound by honor and disgrace. This time we have to rely on Xiang Daxing."
Xiang Lanxuan was unmoved, "Your Majesty, I can't help with this matter. After all, it involves a high-level monk. If there is any big or small event for the commander, the old Lihua demon has never lacked courtesy. I can't act rashly without the commander.
, why don’t you ask for instructions from the commander first?”
Li Chenghu's aura condensed, and he stared at her quietly with a frightening gaze.
Unmoved, Xiang Lanxuan was very calm. She was not the other party's subordinate. With her own status, she had no need to obey the other party's orders. "If you have nothing else to do, Your Majesty, I won't bother you."
Just when she was about to turn around and leave, Li Chenghu took out a shiny golden object from his sleeve and threw it out. He responded calmly: "Thank you."
Xiang Lanxuan grabbed it and found that it was a golden gold medal full of carvings, which was the token of Queen Yanyi. Seeing this token, it felt like Queen Yanyi had come in person.
Her expression immediately turned ugly, but she had no choice but to do so. The relationship between Yan Yi and the Earth Master was there, not to mention that the Earth Master had also spoken about the Queen's matter.
Prince Duan threw this token, which meant he was speaking on behalf of the Queen.
She didn't expect that the other party had this thing on him. After taking a deep breath, she also put the token away, but she still wouldn't return it to Li Chenghu. This was evidence. If the higher-ups were to investigate, why did she attack the old demon Lihua without permission?
, she has to have something to explain.
After that, I had no intention of leaving, and I was waiting to see how she would cooperate.
Li Chenghu said nothing more, nodded to Prime Minister Luo Ce and left with his hands behind his hands, watching Lan Xuan expressionlessly...
At Biyou Inn, a fancy girl in white as snow walked into the inn. She looked good-looking, but she lacked the liveliness that a girl should have, and her demeanor looked more deserted.
"Ms. Snow," the shopkeeper behind the counter called, and walked out from behind the counter, holding a letter with both hands, "Ms. Snow, someone sent a letter. If you weren't here, you left it on the counter for the inn to deliver.
"
Miss Xue was a little surprised. She accepted the letter and found that her address and name were marked on the letter. After thanking the shopkeeper lightly, she opened the letter and checked it on the spot. After reading it, her face changed slightly, she looked around, and then she got on the floor without any hesitation.
building.
After returning to the room, she opened the letter again and read it. The content of the letter was from Lao Qiu from the Jingyuan Inn warehouse, and she was the Lihua Empress that Li Chenghu wanted to deal with.
After thinking for a while, the letter turned into fly ash in her hand. She looked out through the gap in the window for a while, then walked to a wall and pressed one palm on the wall. The wooden wall suddenly collapsed into a
A pile of sawdust collapsed to the ground.
She walked directly to the next door. The man and woman talking and laughing in the next room looked back, and they were both startled and shocked. Just when they were about to shout a scolding, an invisible force came over them, and the two of them immediately collapsed to the ground and passed out.
In the same way, another wall softened into sawdust and turned into a door for her to pass through freely. She grabbed a cloak from the air and put it around herself.
When the sky was getting dark, the sound of "do something" suddenly sounded, and the people who had been waiting inside and outside the inn immediately rushed to the door and broke in. No one was seen, and when they saw the walls turned into sawdust, they knew they were a step too late.
Luo Ce, the prime minister who came in person, inspected the scene in person. In order to reduce the noise, he also used a cloak to cover up his true appearance. He stood among the sawdust on the ground and snorted coldly, "I won't leave sooner or later. At this time
If you go this way, it's really time to be alert."
Xiang Lanxuan, who was also wearing a cloak, was silent. She knew that the other party was pointing out that someone had leaked the news, and maybe he was telling her. After all, she had been talking to the Pear Blossom Empress before and was unwilling to take action against the Pear Blossom Empress.
But she didn't care. If she really wanted to care about it, she would have something to say. After Li Chenghu spoke, she never left Xiang Luo Ce's side.
Of course, with her ability and the power of Dayesi, she can definitely take advantage of the loopholes to deliver the message.
Behind the courtyard wall in an alley not far from the inn, Empress Lihua's clear gaze hidden under the brim of her hat noticed the figure passing by the window of her previous room. After confirming that the message she had received was correct, she immediately turned around and disappeared.
In order not to alert others, arrest operations started almost at the same time.
When news came from all sides, Prime Minister Luo Ce had already returned to the capital. He stood in front of Li Chenghu with a terrifyingly gloomy expression.
The lights were bright, and Li Chenghu, who was sitting behind the case, was flipping through a letter with a meaningful expression on his face, and occasionally glanced at Xiang Lanxuan who was standing aside.
And Xiang Lanxuan had a letter that was basically the same. The only difference was that the recipient on the cover was different.
According to the news from various arresters, most of them missed the target, and almost all the targets escaped before they could take action.
There are also unlucky ones, such as those who failed to return to the inn in time to receive the news, or who were not cautious enough when escaping, and were discovered by the people who were watching, leading to their arrest. However, those are a very small number after all, and the letters were not obtained from these people.
Can be checked and destroyed in a timely manner.
Someone hurriedly came outside the door and shouted, "Island owner."
Xiang Luoce replied with a sullen face, "Come in."
The man outside the door quickly stepped inside, saluted several people first, and then said to Prime Minister Luo Ce: "Island owner, according to the information provided by various inns, we have found the people who sent the message. There are nine people in total. They have been working on the island for a long time.
All living people have stayed in the Amber Sea for at least one year.
Someone paid them to run errands to deliver the letter. The employer concealed his true identity and could not identify who it was. However, based on the situation of the person the employer was looking for, it can be judged that this person knew the situation in Amber Sea very well, otherwise he would not have been found in a short time.
These people. Based on the number of letters provided by these people, a total of 183 letters were sent."
Xiang Luo Ce was surprised when he heard this, "One hundred and eighty-three?"
Li Chenghu asked: "Is there anything wrong?"
Prime Minister Luo Ce immediately informed, "So far, the number of suspicious persons that I have found and temporarily summarized to me is exactly one hundred and eighty-three, and the number of persons we have targeted for arrest this time is only thirty-seven.
"
Li Chenghu said indifferently: "In other words, the secret was not only leaked to the thirty-seven people to be arrested, but also to all the suspicious persons you found. Is it possible that someone has the list in your hand?"
Xiang Luo Ce immediately turned around and shouted to his subordinates: "Go and verify immediately!"
"Yes." The man quickly accepted the order and left.
It is easy to verify the results of this kind of thing, just immediately detect the suspicious persons who have not been arrested.
The final news came back quickly. The one or two hundred suspicious persons had basically disappeared. There were also some who were suspicious of the letter and were not very vigilant about the letter. The commonality was that the inn where they lived could prove that those people had received a letter.
.
The same letter also reached the hands of Li Chenghu and others again.
In this way, the suspicion on Xiang Lanxuan was alleviated.
However, Xiang Lanxuan had her own confidence and didn't care about their suspicion at all. After confirming the situation, she asked Opposition Prime Minister Luo Ce, "Where is the place where you keep the list? Take me to see it."
Xiang Luoce hesitated, "There should be no problem where I put the list. There are people guarding the entrance and exit around the clock. The problem probably lies with other people who can see the list."
Xiang Lanxuan said indifferently: "I asked you to take me to see it!"
There was an undeniable flavor of strong command in his tone.
Li Chenghu didn't know why she was like this, but he felt that she would not be innocent. He also wanted to know what was going on, so he said to Prime Minister Luo Ce: "Let's go and have a look."
He also got up and wanted to see what it was like.
So the group quickly left the place and went straight to Xiang Luo Ce's study.
Xiang Lanxuan took a look at the environment of the study room, and after asking about the drawer where the list was placed, she immediately moved closer to the drawer to observe.
The drawer was designed to be hidden on the shelf and had no handles. Xiang Lanxuan carefully observed all the small details inside and outside the drawer.
It was something so clear that others had no idea what she was looking at.
Only Xiang Lanxuan knew what she was confirming. After discovering some small scratches on the outside of the drawer, she already knew it and realized that the bugs Yu Qing mentioned really existed.
Therefore, she asked again: "Is this the room where you issued the arrest mission?"
Xiang Luo Ce thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes."
Xiang Lanxuan immediately cast a spell to ripple through the entire study, causing the room to become windy for a while. The magic swept through every corner of the room. After confirming that there were no bugs for the time being, she stopped and said, "You are the one who leaked the secret."
Prime Minister Luo Ce said in astonishment: "This is impossible."
Li Chenghu asked: "How can you see it?"
"I will report the specific situation to the commander." He said to Lan Xuan and left. The meaning was obvious. If he wanted to know, he would ask the commander.
She had already reported Yu Qing's remarks before. Before receiving a response, the matter was too important for her to publicize. Now that it was confirmed, she wanted to report the situation again and clearly inform her that the bug did indeed exist.
