wicked immortal

Chapter 416 The Dust Settles

"I'm not afraid of her!" Although Wan Ling'er felt guilty, she put on a disapproving expression.

"I'm not afraid of the best, but I'm afraid that when the time comes, someone will be so scared that the shit will run away." Tomorrow saw Wan Ling'er's guilty conscience, and immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue.

"Just say one more thing, and I'll let you fuck off right now!" Wan Ling'er said viciously.

"..." Opened his mouth tomorrow, after all, he still didn't speak, only a few symbolic snorts in his nostrils.

"Okay, everyone hurry up and help me find the whereabouts of the Red Heart Shenmu. In the past few days, the infighting in the Red Palace has not come to us. When the dust settles, we will become street rats in the imperial capital. "Zhao Yuan was made dizzy by a group of infighting women.

"It's just... you, He Ling, isn't it!" Mingyue looked at He Ling disliked.

"Yes."

"We don't care if you are Zhao Yuan's fiancée or not. In short, you are behind us. From now on, you will listen to us in everything. She is sister Ling'er, she is sister tomorrow, and I am sister Mingyue. Do you remember? "

"Remember, sister Mingyue." He Ling looked humble.

"Just remember, if you're starving to death, go make something delicious and delicious, don't poison us, we are all masters of using poison, once we find you using poison, we will immediately take you to the Baihualou, every day Three hundred guests."

"Four hundred!" Wan Ling'er said harshly.

"Five hundred!" Not to be outdone tomorrow.

"Yeah, that's six hundred. Hurry up, I need some seasonal melons and fruits. Anyway, get more delicious food." Tomorrow's face was drooling.

"I'll do it right away." He Ling still looked humble.

……

Watching the three women order He Ling, Zhao Yuan's forehead was covered with black lines, so he could only turn a blind eye, listen and not hear, and concentrate on looking for clues from the huge amount of letters.

After a while, the successive fruit snacks were sent to the study by the servants, and they were piled up like a mountain on the coffee table.

What made Zhao Yuan vomit blood was that the three women had no intention of helping him at all, and each of them chewed without hesitation. There were chicken feet, chicken bones, peels and cores everywhere. The study room was already a mess.

That He Ling also had a good temper, and kept running back and forth to clean up, taking care of the three women in every possible way.

"You guys can't stop!" The battered Zhao Yuan couldn't stand it any longer, and scolded the three women while He Ling was going out.

"You are a man, so naturally you don't understand, this is a test, do you understand!" Wan Ling'er half-lyed on the chair, crossed her legs, and said carelessly.

"What is the test?" Zhao Yuan was taken aback.

"Things always come first and then come first! He Ling is slower than us, so naturally he wants to listen to us." Wan Ling'er snorted.

"That's right, we haven't worked for Linger's sister, now we are daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law, and it's finally our turn to be proud." Mingyue said with a smile.

"The chicken feet are a bit stuck between the teeth."

Picking his teeth with a toothpick tomorrow, he looks arrogant, like an old witch everyone hates.

"Are you going to marry me together?" Zhao Yuan was secretly delighted.

"Did I say that?" Wan Ling'er sneered.

"You have a good idea!" Mingyue snorted.

"Then...then...then you..." Zhao Yuan stammered, not knowing what to say.

"Don't worry, the one who survives will definitely marry you." Wan Ling'er glared at Ming Ri Ming Yue viciously.

"Say it as if you will live to the end, don't say you can't kill us, even if you kill us, Fairy Caixia can pinch you to death with one finger." Naturally, tomorrow will not let the wind fall, and confronted each other.

"Hmph, one day, I will defeat her!" Wan Ling'er said murderously.

"Hahaha... just take your time to daydream. She has dominated the list of villains for hundreds of years, and Master Ruolin, the king of martial arts who assassinated slaves, was easily killed by her, just like you Tens of hundreds are not her opponents." Tomorrow laughed.

"Actually... we can work together to kill that female devil first." Wan Ling'er rolled her eyes.

"Hey, you think we are fools! If you want to kill her, you have to wait for her to kill you. Then, we and He Ling will kill you together, and then, our two sisters will kill He Ling..."

"And then?" Wan Ling'er sneered.

"And then... and then..." Tomorrow stuttered and couldn't speak.

"And then, if you kill Mingyue, you will marry Zhao Yuan alone, right?" Wan Ling'er laughed.

"Hmph, at that time, you are already dead, and whoever we marry Zhao Yuan has nothing to do with you." Tomorrow Wan Ling'er poohed.

"Let's see who has the last laugh!" Wan Ling'er spat back.

"Are all the men in the world dead?!" Zhao Yuan searched for clues in the many letter papers. He was already devastated, and the three women were quarreling endlessly. He really couldn't bear it, and roared loudly.

"Shut up!" The three women said in unison, their shrill voices overwhelmed Zhao Yuan's.

"..." Zhao Yuan was dumbfounded.

"This is our business, it has nothing to do with you!" Wan Ling'er gave Zhao Yuan a blank look.

"..."

Zhao Yuan stared blankly at the three women, shook his head, and then lowered his head to search for clues in the mountains of letter paper.

day to day.

Zhao Yuan has been at He Ling's house for five full days, but he still hasn't found a clue.

Most of He Zixiong’s letterheads are instructions to purchase medicinal materials, and then there are an astonishing amount of capital transaction records. There seem to be many clues in these letterheads, but in fact, it is meaningless to trace the source of these letterheads. , because Zhao Yuan is not looking for evidence that He Zixiong is a bad guy, but looking for clues about the Red Heart Shenmu.

Of course, Zhao Yuan was not looking blindly, because, according to Du Juan, the He family may have a connection with the overseas island. Now, Zhao Yuan is mainly looking for letterheads related to the overseas island.

"Zhao Yuan, there is something wrong with these letterheads." Wan Linger said suddenly while nibbling melon seeds while flipping through the letterheads.

"what is the problem?"

"Most of He Zixiong's letterheads are for purchasing some materials for alchemy, but according to the ratio of alchemy, many materials don't need that much...unless...unless..." Wan Linger looked thoughtful.

"Unless what?" Zhao Yuan thought for a moment.

"Unless, they are building a formation."

"Formation?"

"Yes, it was mentioned in "Talking about Alchemy" that in the Great Qin Empire, there are some ancient formations and restrictions in many places, such as the Black Forest, which is actually a huge formation with the power of nature. ..."

"However, that is a restriction arranged by the ancient immortals." Zhao Yuan frowned.

"Yes, but if there are enough materials, it is possible to build some powerful formations..."

"Well, even if He Zixiong is helping a certain person to buy materials for building formations, and we... haha... I understand, I understand... In He Zixiong's letterhead, it took decades to purchase those materials. There are countless clues. We only need to look for the place where the materials are delivered, and we can find people related to He Zixiong. From those people, we may be able to find the whereabouts of the Red Heart Tree... If my guess is correct, those materials , probably sent to that overseas island..."

……

After having a goal, Zhao Yuan immediately sorted out the letterheads, arranged the letterheads of the purchased materials in order according to the time, and gradually outlined He Zixiong's procurement pattern in the past. Cooperating shops.

During the time when Zhao Yuan was busy, He Zixiong had already been buried, and the imperial capital was also busy with rehearsals for the emperor's funeral.

On the day of the emperor's death, all the halogen book and the big car were set up.After the burial, the Zi Palace of the Daxing Emperor was placed in the Qianqing officials, and the high-ranking nobles such as the king, the prince, the princess, and Fujin went home to fast. Home.As for idle officials, they gathered at the Meridian Gate to fast and stay.After the fasting period expires, civil and military officials below the king are not allowed to have fun, and mourning and wedding activities are prohibited.The soldiers and civilians in Beijing are required to pick off crown tassels and wear plain onyx within 27 days. They are not allowed to marry within one month, and they are not allowed to have fun (that is, any form of cultural and entertainment activities; mainly refers to cultural performances) within 49 days. Slaughter is allowed, and no prayers and sacrifices are allowed for 27 days.Before the service is removed, the document ticket is planned to be printed with blue ink, and all documents are printed with blue ink.Since the day of the great funeral in the capital, the bells of various temples and temples have been rung [-] times.The next day, a will ceremony will be held at the front door.

In addition, the government will issue an obituary letter to the subordinate countries, such as Assassin and Earl, after the Daqin government issues the latter document, it will be convenient for the Chen comfort envoy to go to Beijing the next day to express Chen comfort.According to historical records, when an emperor died in the past, the kings of various countries sent envoys to the imperial capital to express their condolences.While sending comfort envoys, the kings of various countries often send incense envoys to present incense gifts to the dead.

The prince's preparation for enthronement is also proceeding in an orderly manner, with his two older sisters, Princess Wan'er and Princess Qiqi assisting, and General Changkong is worshiped as a teacher by the three-year-old emperor.

Here, it is worth mentioning that General Chang Kong has already stepped down from his actual post, mainly to accompany the emperor in the palace to guide the new emperor to read, write and practice martial arts.

Obviously, in this high-level power struggle, General Chang Kong won. He resigned, not only avoiding gossip, but also entering the palace to protect the little emperor, forming a deterrent to the enemy.

However, under this silent contest, no senior officials of the Great Qin Empire stepped down, and the empress, the biggest suspect in assassinating the emperor, was not affected in the slightest.Zhao Yuan speculated that because of the empress dowager's painstaking management for decades, the power in the Great Qin Empire was already deeply rooted and intertwined. If it was too radical, it might shake the foundation of the empire.

Because the new emperor ascended the throne, the imperial capital was heavily guarded, with three steps and one post and five steps and one sentry. There were hordes of elite troops patrolling everywhere, and even the four great gods at the border were transferred to the imperial capital.

Under the deterrence of powerful force, some forces that were ready to move did not dare to act rashly. The imperial capital did not appear the chaos that Zhao Yuan imagined.

Everything, dust settled.
