After the immortal disappeared

There must have been interactions between Shuangye Guoshi and Nian Zanli. After all, he allocated Yuanli to Nian Zanli and sent Hong Chenglue to support him.

Although the outcome of that battle was not very good, no matter what Nian Zanli thought of Shuangye Imperial Master and Hong Chenglue, he must have visited Shuangye Imperial Master and asked for troops when he went to Lingxu City this time.

When you live under someone else's roof, you have to be humble.

Now that Imperial Master Shuangye was willing to help, he did not directly accept Nian Zanli. Instead, he went around to Fushan Yue Hexiao first and made it clear that he would be a favor to them.

The Imperial Master does things without leakage.

Xi Yunhe nodded: "If you are entrusted by your Majesty, you must be loyal to your Majesty."

It means that we have fulfilled your request and it is your turn.

He Lingchuan sat upright: "I am all ears."

"The case of the elixir of life is related to Cen Boqing. The day after this document was delivered to the emperor, a fire broke out in Qingfu Temple. One hundred and twenty people in the temple were burned to death, from the abbot to the night patrol and secretary. Shui, Zhongtou, etc., none of them escaped. When Bai Ziqi found this, the clues were broken," Xi Yunhe said happily, "So Qingyang Imperial Master has been out as usual recently, just knowing that no one else can catch him. Evidence.”

"Where's the proof?"

"Set fire is the best way to destroy evidence." Xi Yunhe said, "In fact, it is also the most error-prone. Because everyone is burned beyond recognition and cannot be identified."

He Lingchuan stroked his chin: "Is this how Imperial Master Shuangye helped you fake your death?"

Xi Yunhe ignored it.

"The number of dead is wrong, doesn't Qing Gong have any doubts?"

"Only one hundred and three bodies were found afterwards. It's not surprising that there are a few missing in such a big fire."

After a terrible fire, there will always be people missing. What's more, the fire at Qingfu Temple was a bit strange. Witnesses at the scene said it had a bit of purple light. Is it strange that it burned several people?

Xi Yunhe continued: "There was a temple priest in Qingfu Temple named Kong Jiaxiang. That night he quietly went to Nanli District to find his old friend. He stayed outside and did not report to the temple. As a result, he woke up after sleeping and heard that Qingfu The temple was burned to the ground. This man was also smart and did not go back to check. Instead, he immediately left the city and went back to his hometown to stay in Yangshui. "

"Is he still in Yangshui now?"

"Yes." Xi Yunhe laughed in a low voice, "We have someone to keep an eye on us, but he doesn't know."

"Even Imperial Master Qingyang thought Kong Jiaxiang was dead, how did you know he was alive in Yangshui?" He Lingchuan looked at him with secretly wary eyes. The fire in Qingfu Temple was probably caused by the men sent by Shuangye Imperial Master, right?

I would imagine that Xi Yunhe could assume the alias of Mai Xuewen and kill monsters to obtain pearls and leave clues under Wu Kai. It would be as smooth as if Imperial Master Shuangye set fire to Qingfu Temple?

"Do you think we set the fire?" Xi Yunhe shook his head, "That is the most important place and evidence for smuggling elixirs. How could we burn it down? We originally thought that once the fire was burned, everything would be over, until later Two days later, someone noticed that Kong Jiaxiang’s old friend behaved as usual, and even smiled happily without any sadness when chatting with his neighbors.”

He Lingchuan's eyes flickered: "Kong Jiaxiang is in love, who found out?"

"Of course it's me." Xi Yunhe said calmly, "I was staring at him three years ago."

"If you have this question, it's better to check it out." He said word by word, "This time, it's the Qingyang Imperial Master's bad luck, God wants to take her away!"

Otherwise, why was it not Imperial Master Qingyang who discovered that Kong Jiaxiang was not dead first, but Imperial Master Shuangye?

"Are there more than a hundred people in the temple helping to sell the elixir?"

"Of course that's impossible. There are only three or five people who know about it." Xi Yunhe said, "Kong Jiaxiang is responsible for handing over and keeping accounts. As long as Bai Ziqi catches him, he will naturally be able to follow the path to Qinggong."

He sneered: "Actually, Bai Ziqi knows very well that the elixir is privately produced by Qinggong. But to deal with such an opponent, it is impossible to deal with it without evidence."

He said it in an understatement, but He Lingchuan knew that this clue was hard to come by, just like finding a way out of hundreds of dead ends, it took a lot of effort.

Xi Yunhe's personal business ability is indeed outstanding. No wonder that various investigations back then revealed that Imperial Master Qingyang had no temper and had to get rid of him in the end.

He Lingchuan breathed out: "Then I want to ask, Du Yunshi was helpless when facing the fire in Qingfu Temple. How could I, an outsider, find out that Kong Jiaxiang is still alive in the world?"

Bai Ziqi must ask him or Fu Shanyue to reveal the source of the information. There is no way around this problem.

"Because Kong Jiaxiang also has another identity. He is not only a fellow villager of Wu Kai, but also the brother of Wu Kai's daughter-in-law." Xi Yunhe said lightly, "You can say that when searching for the background of Wu Kai's hometown, we found such a living person, but You found out that he was on the death list of Qingfu Temple."

"Yang Shui is in Chiyan, so it's only natural that you can find him."

He Lingchuan thought for a while: "This is a good idea, but for safety reasons, I have to send an informant back to Yangshui."

Even though Xi Yunhe's ability was obvious to all and the possibility of lying on this case was very small, the matter was so important that He Lingchuan still couldn't let go if he didn't send his own spies to take a look.

Xi Yunhe was not surprised: "It's up to you, but you have to move quickly, otherwise things will change if you are too late."

Kong Jiaxiang is the trump card they worked so hard to get. If he is eliminated by the Qing Palace again, the truth about the elixir case may never be revealed again.

He Lingchuan thought for a moment and then said, "By the way, Prince Huan went to Pan Shan's house to kill people and set fire to him last night. Did you know that?"

"Everyone knows it."

"Do you know who did it?"

Xi Yunhe said: "You have so many enemies, don't you have any idea?"

He Lingchuan smiled bitterly: "Can you find out?"

"I advise you not to act rashly." Xi Yunhe's puppet said with a stern face, "Just carry out the mission obediently."

"The national teacher must protect me." He Lingchuan smiled, "What if these people take action again?"

"Didn't the emperor grant the house to Prince Chiyan?" Xi Yunhe said lightly, "He also allocated Tongxinwei to protect you."

"You know the relationship between Tongxinwei and me." He Lingchuan touched his nose, "It's generous of the Fan brothers not to trouble me. If a thief sneaks in and wants to take my life, they might let it go."

"If the Chiyan people get into trouble again, the emperor will not look good." Xi Yunhe smiled, "If we know someone is dealing with you, we will inform you in advance. By the way, I will teach you 'Heart Shadow Transmission'."

Heart Shadow Transmission is the magical power of turning a living person into a puppet and controlling his words and deeds for a short period of time.

During this period of time, the controlled person has no memory and will not even feel the passage of time.

But this kind of magic usually works only on idle people, or the sick, weak, or unconscious, and it has almost no effect on those with a firm mind. Otherwise, Xi Yunhe could just control He Lingchuan to find Bai Ziqi, why bother to negotiate with him?

"What if the other party is old and weak, but has Yuanli to protect him?" He Lingchuan likes to get stuck in a rut.

Xi Yunhe looked at him strangely: "Yuanli? I don't know how other countries distribute it. As long as they don't go to the battlefield, most officials in Lingxu City are not equipped with Yuanli. Yuanli is so precious that even Beijia won't give it to officials."

He Lingchuan suddenly realized: "So that's it."

"Also, people controlled by the Heart Shadow Transmission Technique cannot perform too complicated tasks, such as fighting."

He Lingchuan laughed again: "Which national teacher taught you this Heart Shadow Transmission Technique?"

"None of them." Xi Yunhe said, "I learned it by myself from an ancient book."

There are all kinds of strange skills in this world, many of which are passed down from ancient and medieval times, and it is difficult for the world to know them all.

"Do they know that you know this secret technique?"

Xi Yunhe said calmly: "It has nothing to do with you."

That means they don't know, He Lingchuan understood. It seems that this guy has learned his lesson and no longer tells the whole story to Master Shuangye, his savior.

Xi Yunhe explained the key points of the technique in a few words, and then said: "We are taking action here. Although Master Qingyang doesn't know, he will not sit and wait for death. You should pay attention later."

He Lingchuan's eyes moved slightly: "What other tricks does she have?"

"She often goes to see the emperor recently." Master Qingyang has a deep friendship with the two emperors. Sometimes, even if nothing else, just playing the emotional card is the most useful. "In addition, she is also good at operating in secret. Don't think that she was beaten back step by step by Master Shuangye and had no power to fight back. Haha, she can't see any movement on the surface, but maybe the recent events in Lingxu City are related to her."

"Recently?"

"Maybe, including what you encountered."

He Lingchuan was shocked: "You mean, our attacks these times are related to her?"

In addition to the explosion of the post station, which was planned by him, someone poisoned him, and someone instigated Prince Huan to intercept the Chiyan people and burn Panshan's house.

At present, the people behind these cases have not been found.

Is it related to Qinggong?

Yes, facing the step-by-step pressure of Bai Ziqi and the Chiyan people, how could Master Qingyang remain indifferent?

"Maybe." Xi Yunhe's puppet shrugged stiffly, "It's just my personal speculation, based on my understanding of her."

He said no more, and told He Lingchuan to complete the task as soon as possible, and then left.

After the man left, He Lingchuan did not waste time and called the hawk into the house.

"New work, help me fly to Yangshui in Chiyan again, check someone and get some information."

With wings, it can travel a thousand miles a day, and it only takes a few days to go back and forth to Yangshui.

At night, Panlong City snowed for the first time.

He Lingchuan walked on the street and suddenly felt a chill on his face. Fine snowflakes came unexpectedly and drilled into his neck.

The pedestrians on the street tightened their lapels and quickened their pace.

It was so cold, it was the right thing to go home and gather around the fire.

He Lingchuan walked into a medicine shop, ordered a few medicinal herbs, and asked the shopkeeper to boil Baihu Decoction for him.

"Is there anyone at home who needs to sober up?"

He Lingchuan smiled: "Yes."

He thought that he would enter Panlong City at night after leaving Xushan, but he dreamed of the Tao Tree that night, and the next day he encountered Prince Lingxu who came to kill and set fire.

Tonight, he finally entered the city.

After a while, the White Tiger Soup was boiled. He was not afraid of the heat, so he picked up the earthenware pot and walked back.
