On the 18th day of the 10th lunar month, there are important matters to discuss.
The sun is warm, people are coming and going on the street, and the shouts of vendors are constant.
But Wei Changtian seemed to turn a blind eye to all this, and just looked at Chu Xianping blankly, with countless questions popping up in his mind.
He had already guessed that the Kuilong Token left by Old Man Zhang might be a communication tool, so he asked Chu Xianping to arrange for someone to keep it in order to prevent any news from being leaked...even if it had been previously
There is never any reaction.
There is no doubt that this move is very necessary now.
But this news contained too many things that Wei Changtian couldn't understand.
First of all, the Kuilong Jade Tablet can actually display text???
You must know that the mother-jade message is transmitted through the rhythmic burning of the mother-jade, coupled with the "code book", to transmit the complete message by telegraph.
Wei Changtian had never even heard of the jade token that could transmit text directly before.
So... is it okay to directly upgrade from "Telegram" to "SMS"?
Of course, the method of communication is ultimately a trivial matter.
After all, Kuilong is such a mysterious organization, and it is normal for it to have some awesome special props.
What really puzzled Wei Changtian was the specific content of this message.
October 18th, Zi hour.
Today is October 16th, which means that the messenger will discuss a very important matter with "himself" at midnight the day after tomorrow.
However, the message did not mention the location of the meeting.
If there is no location, it means it is not "negotiable".
So it’s an “online meeting”? Directly sending “text messages” to each other?
But when can I not send "text messages"? Why do I have to pick a specific time?
How to send this "text message"?
What "important matter" caused the other party who had not heard from him for a year to suddenly contact me?
Isn't Kui Long just thinking about breaking through to the first rank now?
Could it be that this matter has something to do with breaking through to the first level?
"..."
After thinking for more than a hundred breaths, Wei Changtian gradually came up with an idea and ordered Chu Xianping:
"Brother Chu, arrange for someone to deliver the jade plaque immediately."
"No matter what method is used, it must be sent to Guanghan City before the emperor's time."
"Moreover, I will take your carriage to the county government office later. You must first prepare a secret room... and then find a dozen death row prisoners."
"I'll go and have a few words with Wan'er, and then we'll leave."
"..."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
After a short silence, Chu Xianping still didn't have any unnecessary questions and immediately nodded to arrange the things Wei Changtian told him.
The latter also walked back to his carriage at this time and stood in front of Xu Qingwan, who had already gotten off the car.
"Wan'er, we may have to wait a few days before going back."
"Well, it's okay."
Xu Qingwan didn't ask what happened, but nodded obediently: "Just go about your business and don't worry about me."
"Okay, I'll go to the county government office later."
Wei Changtian said quickly: "You should go back to the inn and stay again."
"This matter should be handled within a few days. If it is not handled well, then you will have no choice but to return to Shuzhou City by yourself."
"Well, I will listen to you."
Comrade Xiao Xu nodded again and whispered: "You have to be careful and tell me if you need money."
"Hahaha, got it."
"Do not worry."
Patting the back of Xu Qingwan's hand, Wei Changtian quickly turned around and left, got on Chu Xianping's carriage and headed for the county government office.
Comrade Xiao Xu, on the other hand, kept watching the carriage disappear at the end of the street, and then returned to the car with some worry and ordered the coachman to return to Fuyun Inn.
...
A quarter of an hour later.
Floating Cloud Inn.
A few waiters were cleaning the space outside the store, and the "full" sign hanging on the door had also been taken down.
The shopkeeper in silk clothes was looking at the banknotes on the table in front of him with a blank expression, wondering what Wei Changtian and Xu Qingwan were up to.
Half a quarter of an hour ago, a guard just handed him this banknote, saying that it was ordered by Mr. Wei.
But didn't Wei Changtian just take back the banknote when he was in the store?
Why did you send someone to deliver it separately now?
Is it a discovery of conscience?
No, Mr. Wei is said to have no conscience...
Besides, Mrs. Xu is obviously the kind of person who loves money as much as her life. How could she agree to Mr. Wei rewarding her with so much money?
If she had agreed, she wouldn't have looked at her with that "take one and try it" look just now...
"hiss......"
Thinking of the look in Xu Qingwan's eyes at that time, the shopkeeper couldn't help but shudder.
Although he always felt that this banknote was somewhat "dangerous", but...
But this is one hundred taels of silver!
Besides, now that both of them have left, there shouldn't be any problem if you accept it yourself...
Um.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper finally could no longer resist the "temptation" and reached out to collect the banknotes.
However, before he could reach the edge of the banknote, he heard a cough suddenly coming from behind him.
"cough!"
"..."
"ah!!"
"Xu, Mrs. Xu!"
"Here, I haven't moved this banknote at all! I really haven't moved it at all!!"
...
On the other side, Guanghan County Government.
Just when Xu Qingwan suddenly left and returned, successfully recovering eighty-eight taels of silver, Wei Changtian was already standing in a dark room.
In the corner is still a death row prisoner with an extremely frightened expression.
In front of him is still a long black sword floating in the air.
The old and strange voice is still in my ears.
"Jiejiejiejie!"
"Boy, your mother-in-law is already on her way!"
Remnant Soul obviously mistakenly thought that Wei Changtian wanted to ask about Li Wutong, so as soon as he was awakened, he smiled sinisterly and said: "What? Don't you believe me?"
"Senior, I don't want to ask about this."
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian asked straight to the point without saying any nonsense:
"I just got a Kuilong summons token by chance, and I want to ask senior about this thing."
"Token of summons?"
Remnant Soul was stunned for a moment, then asked disdainfully: "What does it look like?"
"Well, blue and white..."
Recalling the appearance of the token, Wei Changtian answered truthfully: "It looks like jade but not jade, and looks like stone but not stone. It has a ghost-faced dragon carved on one side and the two small characters Kuilong on the other side."
"Senior, I wonder if this token comes from Kui Long?"
"..."
"Uh...Senior?"
"..."
The black sword remained motionless, and the secret room was extremely quiet. Only the rapid breathing of the death row prisoner in the corner was rising and falling violently.
Hmm? What's going on?
Why don't you speak?
"forward......"
Just when Wei Changtian was puzzled and was about to ask again after waiting for a long time, the old voice finally sounded slowly again.
But compared with just now, there was no hint of perfunctory or disdain in Canhun's tone.
"Okay, I heard it."
"How did you get this token?"
"..."
At this time, Wei Changtian had already understood that the Kuai Token must be of great importance, so naturally he would not tell everything about Lao Zhangtou.
"Senior, you don't have to worry about how I got it."
"Just tell me what this token is? Who can possess it? And how to send the message."
"Signaling?"
To Wei Changtian's expectation, after he finished saying this, Canhun's tone suddenly became extremely awkward, and he even blurted out in shock:
