After the immortal disappeared

"Master Qiu has been looking haggard recently and lost a lot of weight." He Lingchuan said softly, "Here are a few soul-replenishing pills, which can really nourish the soul and repair the essence. One pill can be effective. Master Qiu works hard on weekdays and uses it. Just the right situation.”

Qiu Long is with King Yao, what good things have you not seen? Don't look down upon trivial things. However, there is a saying that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. The older Yao Wang gets, the weirder his temper becomes. He will fall out at the slightest disagreement. Qiu Long really has to be distracted when he is around him.

He has cultivation and is still very tough, but his energy is no longer as good as that of a young man. I am really afraid that King Yao will start to think that he is dull. As soon as he heard that He Xiao was sending soul-replenishing pills, he smiled: "Okay, okay, Island Master He is interested."

There are very few elixirs that can nourish and repair the soul. This is indeed what he needs right now. With He Xiao's position and vision, he would be able to get something extraordinary.

He Lingchuan added: "These pills are delicate and must be kept warm in this ruby ​​box. The lid cannot be opened for more than ten breaths each time, otherwise they will easily deteriorate and become ineffective."

Qiu Long nodded and said, "Island Master He really wants to leave our country?"

In fact, he didn't believe it, and neither did King Yao. In the past few months, He Xiao threw out his arms and fought Qingyang. Sometimes the mud he threw out almost splashed onto Qingyang's face. How arrogant? Now, would he really be timid just because of Cao Wendao?

"To be honest, I can't bear to part with it." He Lingchuan said the lie frankly. "In half a year in Tianshui City, the benefits will be far greater than in the past ten years. No one else would want to leave. But, alas, there is some chaos inside and outside the city. I always feel that the supervisor is secretly planning to attack me - doesn’t what happened to Cao Wendao prove that what I feel is true? "

He then added: "Seeing that the emperor's liquid is about to explode, I——"

There was nothing more to say, but he shook his head.

"The king said that you are safe, and you are safe in Tianshui City." Qiu Long comforted him, "He Island Master, don't worry."

He escorted He Lingchuan to the Chunhua Gate, then turned back and was escorted out of the palace by a small palace attendant.

Throughout the whole process, He Lingchuan made no other requests. Qiu Long accepted his gift and felt at ease.

It's a bad idea to only give gifts when you need them. The person receiving the gift doesn't like others to get straight to the point, so it is necessary to cultivate feelings and build a good relationship. When you use it, you only need to say hello and understand.

Otherwise, why would He Lingchuan always be surrounded by so many officials?

Now Qiu Long went around to Danshanfang and took out the ruby ​​box that He Lingchuan gave him to look at it.

The light box is carved from a whole piece of spiritual jade, with rune formations on it.

He opened the box, and the fragrance filled his nostrils. There were seven peanut-sized elixirs lying on the brocade velvet. They were bright and green and looked very good.

Qiu Long picked up one and said to the palace guard behind him: "Take it in and test it as soon as possible."

"yes!"

After a while, the palace guard rushed out to report:

It is non-toxic and the main ingredient may be guava.

Qiu Long pinched half of the elixir and gave it to the palace guard: "I'll give it to you."

The palace guard thanked him for the reward, took it and swallowed it in one gulp.

As soon as the pill entered his stomach, he felt refreshed. The fatigue of working the night shift for three consecutive days was gone. He felt as comfortable as if he had slept soundly for ten hours after taking a bath in the hot spring.

Even the swelling and black spots under his eyes miraculously disappeared, and he looked radiant.

He Xiao did not exaggerate, this medicine does have miraculous effects.

Qiu Long took him on errands, and after another hour, the palace guard was still in excellent condition, without any discomfort. Only then did Qiu Long eat the remaining half of the pill.

Well, feel good!

Being with the king makes even my mind become more flexible.

So Qiu Long hid the ruby ​​box close to his body.

In this room, He Lingchuan walked towards the palace gate under the guidance of the palace attendant. When passing by the Liuhua Pavilion, he heard someone's voice coming from inside.

"What!" The man was probably very surprised, his voice raised five degrees, "What do you think happened to Brother Zhao?"

"Zhao Siao went out drinking the night before and didn't return at dawn. His family went out to look for him and finally found him in a ditch, but it was too late." Someone else sighed, "Maybe he drank too much and slipped and slipped."

"Impossible. Brother Zhao always drinks. When did you see him drink his fourth drink?"

"The government invited the man for an autopsy yesterday. He was indeed drowned. There was water in his lungs, but his whole body was intact. There was still half a penny of alcohol floating in the ditch."

"That……"

As soon as the man from before said something, he was interrupted: "Don't ask, it won't do you any good to ask too many questions. You and I know very well what Zhao Siao wants to get involved in recently."

"Treasury in various places..."

"Hush!" Everyone wanted to cover this guy's mouth tightly, "What kind of place is this? Be careful that trouble comes from your mouth!"

"What we know, don't the princes and nobles know? Don't Master You and the others know?" Someone else said, "They all pretend to be confused, so what are we going to do?"

He Lingchuan stepped forward carefully and walked over with the young palace servant. Sure enough, he saw that there was no high official in the pavilion.

The morning court was about to start, and these officials didn't like the turbid air in the room, so they took a few breaths of clean and fresh air-conditioning in the Liuhua Pavilion and chatted for a while.

Who in the royal court doesn’t know you? All the officials in the pavilion came over and greeted He Lingchuan enthusiastically.

He Lingchuan exchanged greetings with them and left.

No one noticed that the person who spoke for Zhao Siao earlier had an inconspicuous little spider on his clothes.

This man's name is Huang Rulin, and he is a colleague of Zhao Siao. He became an official at almost the same time as him, and we can usually chat with him.

There was also an argument in the morning today, but Huang Rulin didn't listen carefully. He noticed that King Yao was sitting on the throne, covering his sleeves and yawning, as casually as he was.

After the court meeting, he declined the invitation of other colleagues to dinner and went home directly.

When his wife saw him coming back empty-handed, she asked directly: "Where is the hairpin from Baoxianglou?"

"Uh." Huang Rulin then remembered that he promised his wife to go to Baoxianglou to pick up the customized jewelry last night, "I forgot!"

"What's wrong with you? You look so lost." His wife found that he looked bad.

He told the truth: "Zhao Qi is gone. He was found dead in the canal yesterday morning."

The wife was shocked: "Oh, how could such a living person just disappear?"

Huang Rulin married the daughter of his mentor, who not only brought good luck to his husband, but also was good at giving him advice. He dragged his wife into the house, dismissed the servants, closed the doors and windows, and then said: "The coroner said that he fell into the canal and drowned because he was drunk."

"Nonsense, Zhao Qi drinks less than you." The wife was suspicious, "He is too straightforward and outspoken, has he offended anyone?"

Huang Rulin lowered his voice even more: "I just remembered something, Zhao Qi mentioned to me a few days ago that there are problems with the military warehouses in the four northern towns and several places in the northwest, and, and the problems are not small."

The wife frowned: "What problem?"
