Zhao Huaizhong nodded in response to Jiang Shu's inquiry, and then said: "When will everyone Mu come back?"
Jiang Shu shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't know either.
"Then let's wait until everyone Mu comes back." Zhao Huaizhong said goodbye and went straight out of the courtyard.
"Where did the gourd vine leaves come from? What did he say?" The waitress who guided Zhao Huaizhong into the courtyard appeared not far from Jiang Shu.
"He grew it himself.
He also proposed a planting method called grafting. You have followed Master for a long time, do you think it is possible to realize the grafting mentioned by the Crown Prince of Qin?"
Jiang Ji then repeated Zhao Huaizhong's explanation of grafting.
The waitress curled her lips slightly and said: "The handwriting left by Shen Nong clearly states that plants are alive. If you connect different plants together, what will it look like and how can it be successful?"
Jiang Shu pondered for a moment, planning to wait until Master Mu Yangjing came back before asking.
…
"Is the news true?"
"We have sent people over to investigate overnight and saw that Ye Yufu's tribe was cleaning up the village and taking away everything.
It can be confirmed that the traces of the sect branch near Xianyang have been exposed, and the personnel have been captured and killed by Ye Yufu."
On the outskirts of Xianyang, in the wilderness, under a low hill, two people were whispering secretly.
"How did the Qin people find the hiding place of our eclipse sect? What were the casualties on the Ye Yu Mansion?"
"The process is not clear yet, but judging from the fact that none of our people escaped and all were captured and killed, it is clear that Ye Yufu has won a complete victory, and their casualties should not be high."
Another person asked: "How much impact will it have on us when the layout near Xianyang is cleared?"
"Send people here again and we will soon be able to re-establish contact with Xianyang City. There will be no big problem."
"Then let's start implementing it. I will report other matters to the sect master."
The short conversation ended and the two of them went away.
…
Xianyang, Xiangguo Mansion.
Lu Buwei also knew that Zhao Huaizhong personally went out of the city yesterday to destroy the secret stronghold of the Eclipse Sect.
Unlike the two eclipse sect spies who met in the wilderness, Lu Buwei had the right to inspect any files of Da Qin.
He reviewed the bamboo scrolls compiled and filed internally by Ye Yufu.
The bamboo slips describe the details of Zhao Huaizhong's process of tracking down and annihilating the hidden villages of the Eclipse Sect.
"Born to be magical..."
After Lu Buwei read it, he handed the bamboo scroll to Wei Yang, the next doorman.
Wei Yang saw the bamboo slips and was amazed, so he complained:
"It seems that I made a mistake in my judgment about the prince last time. Not only is the prince extremely talented in cultivation, but he also has a vision that makes him extraordinary."
Lu Buwei's eyes closed and his voice was low:
"I have always had doubts about the Crown Prince's ability to return to Qin. I speculated that Prince Pingyuan Zhao Sheng had secretly made arrangements, otherwise your return to Qin would not have been so smooth.
It seems that I have been worrying too much, or that Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng, including me, have underestimated the Crown Prince."
After a pause, he said: "You and the prince have a deep friendship in Handan for rescue. You might as well replace me in the prime minister's house. Instead of walking around too much, it will also be good for you."
"No!" Wei Yang agreed happily.
…
"Crown Prince, Fan Qingzhou asked me to deliver a case file."
Zhao Huaizhong left Xuangu Academy and came to Yeyu Mansion. Mu Qingkong also came to the main hall where he stayed.
This gentleman is wearing a light blue gown today, with a narrow waist and wide sleeves, and a light gait.
This kind of clothing color that women often wear is not inconsistent with him, and it perfectly echoes his feminine temperament.
"But there is new progress in the matter of the Eclipse Sect."
"Exactly."
Mu Qingkong whispered softly: "Yesterday we captured the members of the Eclipse Sect and interrogated them, and got some information."
"The old woman explained that the reason why they hid near Xianyang was that they found an earth vein hole underground in that village. Relying on the aura in it, they could increase the speed of their practice and increase the power of their spells.
The more important reason is that they are hiding around Xianyang and want to spy on and sabotage our country, Da Qin."
"They sacrificed children's corpses to Zhu Yin in exchange for some special power, and refined something called Yin Yuan Pill, which is said to be able to appropriately extend life span.
After Wei Chen saw the candle yin yesterday, he also said that the eclipse religion wants to gain yin power, gain yin life in the human world, and extend life."
When Zhao Huaizhong heard this, he roughly guessed what Mu Qingkong was going to say next:
"Increase longevity? You want to say that some powerful people in Xianyang City, who did not want to die when they were old and frail, became the objects of transactions that the Eclipse Sect used the Yin Yuan Pill to win over, and then used these people to achieve their goals, that is,
To spy on and sabotage our Great Qin?"
Mu Qingkong nodded, it would be easier to talk to the prince.
"Do you know who in Xianyang City has had contact with the Eclipse Cult?"
"Still checking."
Mu Qingkong said: "Fan Qingzhou specifically asked me to ask how far this matter needs to be investigated?"
Zhao Huaizhong looked at the prosperous and beautiful crossdresser sitting across the table: "Why don't Fan Qingzhou ask it himself?"
Mu Qingkong said: "He suddenly received an urgent report and rushed to deal with it, so he asked me to inquire."
Zhao Huaizhong smiled: "The urgent report is just an excuse. Fan Qingzhou asked you to ask me about my attitude on this matter because the follow-up of this matter may be very difficult!"
Mu Qingkong was stunned.
Fan Qingzhou asked him to deliver the case file, but he came over without thinking deeply.
Hearing Zhao Huaizhong mention it at this time, Mu Qingkong couldn't help but think about it.
Tracking down the secret transactions between the Eclipse Sect and people in Xianyang, who may have betrayed the interests of Da Qin, will inevitably lead to the discovery of some people with high status, who may even be involved in the royal family.
Because the higher the status, the more valuable it is to the eclipse cult, and the more they are the target of contact.
Dealing with the powerful groups involved in these people is by no means an easy matter.
Zhao Huaizhong thought for a moment: "Fan Qingzhou asked you to come because it was obvious that he had something to say that was inconvenient to say. Well, he wanted to remind me to change the direction of the investigation, but he was afraid of disagreeing with me, so he asked you to be the tool to pass the complaint.
This creates a layer of separation and can take care of my face."
Mu Qingkong blinked her long and charming eyes. Thinking about it carefully, she felt that this was really Fan Qingzhou's style, and she suddenly felt unhappy.
He was simply a tool to spread the word, and he had never seen Fan Qingzhou's intention before.
But Zhao Huaizhong could see through it.
This made Mu Qingkong a little sad, feeling a sense of malice that her intelligence was being crushed by Zhao Huaizhong and Fan Qingzhou at the same time, and she fell into deep self-doubt.
"The Eclipse Sect is just a sect, so how can it have the courage to go against Da Qin?
Are the Six Nations hiding behind them?"
"It's nothing more than one of the two countries, South Korea and Zhao. Our country, the Qin Dynasty, is currently at war with the Zhao State, and we are also having friction with South Korea. Behind the scenes, we are supporting sectarian forces to disrupt our country, the Qin Dynasty. This has happened many times in the past." Mu Qingkong said.
Zhao Huaizhong nodded slowly, his thoughts gradually becoming clearer:
"Fan Qingzhou's plan is not to check who in the city is involved with the Eclipse Sect, but instead to attack the Eclipse Sect itself with all his strength.
If the eclipse sect's mountain gate can be wiped out in one fell swoop, how many people in the city are connected with them will become less important and can be rectified slowly.
This not only solves the problem, but also prevents the situation from becoming chaotic and difficult to control due to a thorough investigation within Da Qin. It is equivalent to dismantling the state's conspiracy behind the eclipse cult to disrupt our Da Qin from the side."
"You go back and tell Fan Qingzhou that I agree with him."
Mu Qingkong stopped talking, nodded blankly like a marionette, turned around and left quickly.
He was going to go back and beat Fan Qingzhou violently.
