Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 99: The attention aroused by the national destiny being swallowed up!

The crowded crowd was getting closer and closer, and soon arrived in front of the blood food shop.

A warrior who was sent flying by a spear rushed towards the blood food shop and was about to smash the plaque that had been hung up with great difficulty. Huang Qingzhou pointed his toes and stopped the warrior with a gentle force.

"It's someone from the Royal Inspectorate!"

Looking at the group of warriors wearing black robes and holding black spears, Xing Rong's expression changed slightly.

Royal Inspectorate?
Fang Xu was a little puzzled and asked, "Did the royal family send people from the Supervisory Department to explore the ruins?"

Xing Rong shook her head: "The Supervisory Department only obeys the orders of Emperor Yu. The eldest and seventh princes who are in power now cannot be transferred."

"The dispatch of the Supervisory Department means that His Majesty Emperor Yu may have come out of confinement."

"only……"

Xing Rong frowned in confusion and said, "Normally, it's not worth it for the Emperor Yu to mobilize the people of the Supervisory Department to handle ordinary matters, unless there is a major event that endangers the rule of the royal family..."

Xing Rong was stunned for a long time as she watched the group of warriors in black clothes walk away. She then responded and bowed to Fang Xu and Huang Qingzhou, saying, "Please come in, both of you."

Xing Rong took Fang Xu and Huang Qingzhou on a tour of the blood food shop. Before they left, Xing Rong pulled Fang Xu aside, took out a deposit deed for five hundred taels of gold, handed it to Fang Xu, and said, "Brother Fang helped me introduce the prince. This is a thank you gift. It is not included in the profit sharing."

Fang Xu was stunned for a moment, then took the deposit deed and said with a smile, "Sister, it's a good idea, I won't refuse it."

The money delivered to your door should not be wasted.

Putting the deposit deed in his arms, Fang Xu agreed with Xing Rong that he would come again on the opening day, and then took Huang Qingzhou back to Zhiyuan Hall.

Fenglin Town Government Office.

A group of black-clad warriors from the Supervisory Department had already arrived here. When they saw Li Xingchao and the others, the slovenly-looking young man in the lead slowly bowed and said, "Ling Mu greets the Seventh Prince, the Crown Prince, and the Grand Astrologer."

Looking at the young man who called himself Ling Mu, Li Xingchao frowned slightly: "Is my father out of seclusion?"

Ling Mu glanced around, then stretched out his hand to signal Li Xingchao to let him step aside to talk.

Li Xingchao led him to the next room, and Ling Mu directly took out a gold and black scroll from his arms.

The scroll was opened, and on the back was printed a black dragon with bared fangs and claws. The black dragon actually had five claws!
Seeing the scroll, Li Xingchao's pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly bowed to pay his respects, but Ling Mu directly supported him and said, "His Majesty said that the Seventh Prince is injured, so there is no need to be polite."

Li Xingchao stood up straight upon hearing this, and said solemnly, "Father asked Deputy Envoy Ling to come here. What is your order?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "The Imperial Astronomical Observatory has observed that the power of our country's destiny is being eroded by an unknown force, and reported this to Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty seems to have noticed something as well, and suspects that this matter is related to the ruins of Tilan Mountain, so he ordered me to come and investigate."

Is the country's destiny being eroded by some force?
Li Xingchao frowned and instantly thought of what happened to his son Li Xun.

At that time, Li Xun was plotted against by the witch. It was Xu Liang who asked him to give the jade pendant bestowed by his father to Li Xun to resist.

Could it be related to this matter?

But this is a bit too unbelievable!

If the witch of Muyun Kingdom really had the means to steal the fortune of Yu Kingdom, then it should be Yu Kingdom that was destroyed now, not his Muyun Kingdom.

No!

Ling Mu must not know about this, and even more so, my father must not know about it!
Li Xingchao has only one son, Li Xun. Even Xu Liang can't solve the situation with Li Xun, so the people from the Imperial Observatory are definitely powerless!

Li Xingchao knows his father well. Once he suspects that this matter is related to Li Xun, he will definitely sacrifice Li Xun without hesitation for the sake of the State of Yu!
If he lost the protection of the Yu Kingdom's national destiny, Li Xun would most likely die. If Li Xun died, all his plans over the years would be completely meaningless.

"Has the Imperial Observatory made up its mind and asked tentatively."

Ling Mu shook his head and said, "It's just predicted that it's roughly in this area, the specific reason is still unclear."

Xu Liang was a member of the Imperial Observatory and one of the five supervisors of the Imperial Observatory. He did not find the problem at the time, and it was good enough that the remaining four people in the Imperial Observatory could calculate the approximate location. "So, if you need any help from me, please let me know," Li Xingchao said calmly.

Ling Mu bowed slightly, and came to the courtyard with Li Xingchao. He walked directly to Xu Liang and bowed, saying, "Grandmaster, I still need your help in this mission."

Hearing this, Xu Liang looked at Li Xingchao.

Seeing him nod, he said, "Deputy Envoy Ling, please let me know what I can do."

Ling Mu stood up, looked at the black-clad warriors behind him, and said directly: "Go and plant the formation flag immediately!"

The black-clad warriors received the order, bowed, and then dispersed.

Ling Mu looked at Xu Liang and said, "I don't know the art of Feng Shui and fortune, so I can only select them piece by piece. I borrowed this set of formation flags from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory when I came here. Please help me deduce it later, Master Taibu, so that we can complete this task as soon as possible."

When he saw the battle flag, Xu Liang's pupils shrank slightly!
Since the Imperial Observatory had deployed the battle flags, that meant there must be something wrong with the destiny of the State of Yu. Thinking of this, he pondered for a moment and also thought of Li Xun.

He looked at Li Xun standing beside him, and then at Li Xingchao.

Seeing Li Xingchao shaking his head slightly at him, Xu Liang hesitated for a moment, and finally chose not to tell this matter.

He just looked at Ling Mu and said, "I will do my best."

On the outskirts of Fenglin Town, the black-clad warriors from the Supervisory Department were carrying strange flags and placing them in different positions around Fenglin Town.

The warriors in the town were very curious when they saw the actions of these black-clad warriors.

Feng Shui masters themselves are relatively rare and difficult to see under normal circumstances, and Feng Shui formations are even rarer. Many warriors have no idea what these aggressive royal warriors are doing.

After Fang Xu and Huang Qingzhou returned to Zhiyuan Hall, they did not go out again, so they naturally had no idea about the operations of the group of black-clad warriors from the Supervisory Department.

Just when night was about to fall, Huang Qingzhou, who was having dinner with Fang Xu and others, suddenly frowned and looked up at the sky.

Fang Xu asked curiously, "Senior Brother Huang, what happened?"

Huang Qingzhou murmured, "Maple Forest Town seems to be covered by some kind of Feng Shui formation."

"It's just this kind of formation..."

Before he could finish his words, a tiny beam of light suddenly appeared in a place in the town.

Although the beam of light disappeared in a flash, Fang Xu still keenly caught it. The black beam of light seemed to be emitted from his own courtyard!
With doubt, he turned his head to look at Huang Qingzhou, then ran out quickly.

Seeing this, Huang Qingzhou hurriedly followed.

When the two arrived at Fang Xu's courtyard, people from the Supervisory Office, the Golden Scale Guards, Li Xingchao and others had also arrived here.

Ling Mu looked at the locked gate of the courtyard in front of him. Without any hesitation, he kicked the gate open and led his men in.

"Fang Xu, if I remember correctly, this is your home, right?" Li Xun walked up and said with a frown.

Fang Xu hesitated for a moment before he cupped his hands and said, "That's right."

As soon as he finished speaking, two black-clad warriors from the Supervisory Department stepped forward and prepared to capture him!

"Stop!" Huang Qingzhou flashed in front of the two men and glanced at Li Xingchao, saying, "Fang Xu has the immortal gate pass of my Ascension Society. Is Yu State planning to break the rules?"

Li Xingchao frowned upon hearing this, waved his hand to let the two people from the Supervisory Department leave first, and walked slowly to Huang Qingzhou and Fang Xu and said calmly:
"We will know the outcome of this matter later. If Fang Xu's guilt is proven, I will personally go to see Elder Jiang and Deacon Xu."

"Fang Xu, Huang Xiaoyou, let's go in and take a look."

Leading Fang Xu and Huang Qingzhou, the group came to Fang Xu's courtyard, and saw a group of black-clothed warriors, under the guidance of Xu Liang, overturning the stone table in the courtyard and digging something on the ground.
