Chapter 497 The Coming Emperor's Birthday Banquet

Phoenix Building, the most famous landmark building in Fengcheng.

On weekdays, this is the most prosperous area in Fengcheng, many tourists come here especially, the crowd is turbulent and the stream is endless.

But today, the Phoenix Tower and a nearby area are under martial law, and they are not allowed to approach.

"Really, isn't it just the head of a dead person?" A foreign tourist dissatisfied, "As for the martial law so long? I finally found time to travel."

"That's right." Another tourist complained, "I went to Lingdu last year, but a nobleman died, and the whole city mourned in silence. But when I came to Fengcheng this year, I encountered this kind of thing again..."

"Brother, you are too good at picking your time."

"Yeah yeah……"

……

Hei Ya and Qiu Wen mingled among the tourists, silently watching a group of pickets collect evidence in the Phoenix Building, and carefully watching their surroundings.

A faint, imperceptible green light came from Qiuwen's feet into the depths of the earth, scattered into countless threads, and merged into the intertwined underground plant root system.

The surrounding green plants have all become Qiuwen's eyes and ears...

After finishing all this, Qiuwen looked at Hei Ya, and asked the sound transmission curiously: "Mr. Hei Ya, I have been curious about a question for a long time. You should still be wanted now, right? Why do you dare to speak so openly?" in public?"

The black crow echoed: "Because other than you, what others see is not my true appearance."

"Huh?" Qiuwen looked at him puzzled.

Black Crow smiled and did not explain, but deep in his consciousness, a voice sounded: "You have been facing my face for so long, remember that I have to pay for it."

"Understood." Black Crow replied consciously.

……

While the two were having a conversation, a picket used a supernatural item to go back in time, and recreated in public how Yi An's head appeared in the Phoenix Building.

But the scene I saw back in time was the same as what I saw in the surveillance, Yi An's head seemed to appear out of nowhere, without warning.

However, the pickets were not in vain. Another picket found an extremely difficult-to-detect shadow fluctuation with a microscope-shaped extraordinary item...

"Miss Bai Ye won't be discovered?" Black Crow asked with some concern.

"No." Qiuwen said very confidently.

"No." Saint Filinna in her soul also said.

"Huh?" Black Crow asked curiously, "So confident?"

"Of course." Qiu Wen raised her head and said with some pride, "These pickets are able to detect the shadow caused by Ms. Ye's manipulation of the power of the night, which is their limit. They can't analyze Ms. Ye in the shadow at all." , and under the shadows, Ms. Ye was still invisible at the time, so it was even more impossible for them to discover Ms. Ye's real body."

Saint Filinna said: "The reason why your spirit race friend was born with two forms is because there is a very high-level and extremely ancient power in her soul origin. Her dark night power cannot be detected."

"Is that so..." Black Crow nodded, responding to Qiu Wen, and then asked consciously, "Santa Filinna, what do you mean, there is a very powerful force in Lady Baiye's soul?"

"Hmm." St. Filinna said in a strange tone, "That is a very contradictory but powerful force, so powerful that it is close to some kind of authority..."

Authority... Black Crow's pupils trembled, and he knew very well what it meant to be close to a certain kind of authority.

……

The development of the matter was as expected by Qiuwen and Santa Felina. The Fengcheng pickets tried their best, but they couldn't figure out what was hidden in the shadows.

"It seems that this is a person who is good at shadow-type extraordinary abilities." The picket judged with the ability to go back in time.

"Report it."

"Ah."

The pickets left, but the Phoenix Tower was still not unsealed, causing dissatisfaction among the tourists.

"Huh?" Qiu Wen frowned, her countless eyes and ears did not find anyone behaving abnormally.

Black Crow didn't find it either.

"Could it be that the person behind Yi An didn't send someone to investigate?" Qiu Wen was a little stunned.

"Impossible!" Black Crow shook his head, "It's unreasonable."

"but……"

Suddenly, Santa Felina spoke again: "Follow the picket on the left with the mole on his face."

Hearing this, the black crow lifted his spirits.He looked at the picket that Santa Felina mentioned, and saw that the other party looked normal and had no special performance in the previous investigation, so he asked, "What did you find?"

Santa Felina said: "If you insist on one abnormality, then this person's mental fluctuations are more intense than any other picket."

The mental fluctuations were intense... Black Crow nodded slightly: "I understand."

He called Qiu Wen and followed her quietly...

Yang Zheng and Tucharan came to Gu Quan's office together to report the progress of the incident to the head of the Congress.

Gu Quan instructed the documents in front of him while silently listening to the two of them finish speaking, then raised his head and looked at the two of them.

The two immediately showed an attitude of listening, waiting for the instructions from the head of the Congress, but Gu Quan's words surprised them: "Why did you report this matter to me?"

"Ah?" Yang Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized, and said, "You are the head of the National Assembly, of course I have to report to you for everything big and small..."

Gu Quan waved his hand, interrupted Yang Zheng's compliment, and said: "Your Majesty is very concerned about this matter, you can go directly to the palace to report to His Majesty, I am still busy preparing for the birthday banquet next month."

The birthday banquet next month... When Yang Zheng and Tucharan heard these words, they suddenly remembered that the 30th of next month would be the [-]th birthday of His Majesty the Emperor Yi Zhen.

His Majesty the Emperor turned 30 years old, which is a major event of national concern.At that time, the army commanders from the four regions of the Xinhua Dynasty, officials from all over the country, nobles and representatives from all walks of life will gather in Fengcheng to celebrate Yi Zhen's birthday.

The rest of the Four Kingdoms, Ancestor Peak, Tianxing Forest, Lailongshan, etc. will also send envoys to attend the banquet.

The banquet was of high standard and wide influence, even enough to have an impact on the national image of the Xinhua Dynasty.

Therefore, it was no surprise that this important task fell to Gu Quan, the head of the Congress.

For Gu Quan, the most important thing right now is the banquet, and the rest can be put on hold for now.

"Your Excellency the Chief has worked hard, and this subordinate understands..." Yang Zheng bowed, "This subordinate will enter the palace with Chief Tucharan and report to His Majesty."

"Well, let's go." Gu Quan nodded and said calmly.

The two took two steps back, then turned around, but just as they were about to leave the office, Gu Quan suddenly said: "By the way, I don't bother the two masters. Since you are going to enter the palace, please help me make an appointment with Xiong Jiuxiao to worship. He came to my house, and I want to discuss with him the security matters on the day of the banquet."

"Yes, the subordinate must bring the words with him."

"Our rank is still too low..." After leaving the imperial mausoleum for a certain distance, Ms. Bai Ye released her invisibility, looked in the direction of the imperial mausoleum with regret, and said, "If we are all extraordinary creatures of the third rank, we should be able to directly bombard us." Open that boulder."

"That's right." Ferna also said, "If we are all mid-level three extraordinary creatures, we don't have to be afraid that people inside the mountain will find us, just go in rashly...but I want to be promoted to the middle-level three in a short time , obviously not possible, if only we could have a helper."

Helper... Zhang Jichuan suddenly stopped, his eyes lit up slightly: "Maybe I can find a helper."

"Ah? Really?" Ms. Bai Ye said incredulously, "Mr. Siliang, didn't you just come to Fengcheng? You also have your helper here?"

"That's a must." Zhang Jichuan said, "My friends are all over the world... Wait for me, I'll make a call."

After all, Zhang Jichuan really made a call.

A few minutes later, under the surprised eyes of Ms. Bai Ye and Ferna, a luxurious car stopped in front of Zhang Jichuan, and a young man wearing a butler got out of the car, nodded slightly to Zhang Jichuan and said: : "Mr. Zhang Jichuan, I have kept you waiting for a long time. Please get in the car. Your Excellency the Duke is already waiting for you."

"Thank you." Zhang Jichuan hurriedly returned the salute, then pointed to Lady Bai Ye and Ferna and said to the man, "These two are my friends, can I take them to see Your Excellency the Duke?"

"Of course, your friend is His Excellency the Duke's distinguished guest, please get in the car together." The man said respectfully.

Ms. Bai Ye and Ferna got into the car in a daze. They didn't expect that Zhang Jichuan actually called someone after knowing the phone number. Moreover, from the conversation between the two parties, it seemed that someone from a certain Duke came?
Not long after, the car drove into a manor located in 'Divine Bird Lane'.

Shenniao Lane in Fengcheng is roughly equivalent to the positioning of Baijin Lane in Yujing, and the people living in it are either rich or expensive.

An old man greeted him in front of the living room. The moment she saw the old man, Ms. Bai Ye couldn't help being shocked, and blurted out, "Bai Shu? Great investor Bai Shu?"

"I didn't expect such a humble name to be known to all the friends of the Spirit Race. I am so honored." The old man glanced at Ms. Bai Ye and said with a smile.

This person is Bai Shu, Zhang Jichuan's investor!
"So..." Ms. Bai Ye looked back and forth between Bai Shu and Zhang Jichuan, immediately understood something, and said with admiration, "Mr. Siliang, I really have you..."

"It's just that Your Excellency Bai Shu thinks highly of me." Zhang Jichuan said modestly. When he saw Bai Shu approaching, he immediately got out of the car and bowed to the old man, "Your Excellency Bai Shu, I'm sorry."

"No trouble." Bai Shu smiled brightly, "I should thank you, Mr. Zhang Jichuan, thank you for giving me another chance to invest more, as long as you don't forget what I should have gained.

"Let's go, don't stay outside, go in and have some tea."
