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 contact Nian Zanli. Instead, he went around to Fushan Yue/He Xiao first and made it clear that he would be a favor to them.

The Imperial Master is also impeccable in his work.

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, ranging from the abbot to the night patrol and secretary. Shui, Zhongsou, etc., none of them escaped. When Bai Ziqi checked here, the clues were broken." Xi Yunhe said happily, "So Qingyang Imperial Master has been going out as usual recently, acting as if nothing happened, even though he knew that no one else could 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 clever and did not go back to check at all. Instead, he immediately left the city with oil on his feet and went back south 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?

Think of Xi Yunhe as someone who could use the pseudonym Mai Xuewen and kill monsters and obtain pearls under Wu Kai to leave clues. It seems as if the Imperial Master Shuangye setting fire to the Qingfu Temple would be very smooth, right?

"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 everything would be over once the fire was burned, until later Two days ago, someone discovered that Kong Jiaxiang’s old friend was behaving as usual, and even smiled happily without any sadness when chatting with 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 proof."

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

Xi Yunhe's personal business ability is indeed outstanding. It is 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?"

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, 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 without sending his own spies to take a look.

Xi Yunhe was not surprised: "It's up to you, but you have to act 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 while 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?"

"The whole city 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 it be found out?"

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

"The Imperial Master will protect me." He Lingchuan smiled, "What if these people take action again?"

"Didn't the emperor give a house to Prince Chiyan?" Xi Yunhe said lightly, "He also assigned Tongxin Guards to protect you."

"It's not like you don't know about Tongxinwei's relationship with me." He Lingchuan touched his nose, "It would be considered generous of the Fan brothers if they don't cause trouble for me. If a thief sneaks in and wants to take my life, they might just listen. Of."

"If anything happens to the people of Chiyan, the Emperor's face will not look good." Xi Yunhe said with a smile, "If we know that someone is going to deal with you, we will tell you in advance. By the way, I will teach you the 'Shadow of the Heart'."

Heart shadow transmission is the magical power to turn living people into puppets and control their words and deeds in a short period of time.

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

However, this kind of spell usually only works on idle people, or the weak or comatose, and has almost no effect on those who are determined. Otherwise, Xi Yunhe could just control He Lingchuan to find Bai Ziqi. Why bother to negotiate terms with him?

"What if the opponent is old and frail, but has Yuan Power to protect him?" He Lingchuan likes to get into trouble.

Xi Yunhe looked at him strangely: "Yuanli? I don't know how other countries allocate 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 doesn't give it to the officials. .”

He Lingchuan suddenly realized: "That's it."

"Also, people controlled by the teleportation technique cannot perform tasks that are too complex, such as fighting."

He Lingchuan smiled again and said: "Which national master taught you this technique of teleportation between minds and shadows?"

"None of them." Xi Yunhe said, "I came across ancient books by chance and taught myself."

There are all kinds of strange martial arts in this world, many of which have been handed down from ancient and medieval times, and it is difficult for the world to know them all.

"Do they know you know this secret skill?"

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

That means not knowing, He Lingchuan understood. It seems that this guy has learned well and no longer tells everything about Shuangye Guoshi, his savior.

Xi Yunhe explained the techniques and key points clearly in a few words, and then said: "Although Imperial Master Qingyang doesn't know what we are doing here, he will not sit still and wait for death. Please pay attention later."

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

"She often goes to see the emperor recently." Qingyang Imperial Master had a deep friendship with the two emperors. Sometimes, even if you don't do anything else, just playing a dozen emotional cards is most useful. "In addition, she is also good at operating behind the scenes. Don't think that she was beaten back by the Frost Leaf Imperial Master and had no power to fight back. Ha, she There is no movement on the surface, but maybe the recent events in Lingxu City are related to her."

"recent?"

"Maybe, it also includes what happened to you."

He Lingchuan was startled: "You mean, our recent attacks have something to do with her?"

In addition to the fact that he planned the explosion of the post house himself, someone poisoned him, and someone instigated Prince Huan to intercept the Chiyan people and burn Panshan's house.

So far, no one behind these cases has been found.

Could it be related to Qing Palace?

Yes, facing the pressing steps of Bai Ziqi and the Chiyan people, how could Qingyang Imperial Master remain indifferent?

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

He said no more and told He Lingchuan to complete the task as soon as possible before leaving.

After the man left, He Lingchuan did not waste any time and summoned Goshawk into the house.

"Here comes a new job. Help me fly to Yangshui in Chiyan again to check on people and get some information."

A bird with wings can travel a thousand miles in a day, and it only takes a few days to reach the water back and forth.

At night, it begins to snow in Panlong City.

He Lingchuan was walking on the street when he suddenly felt a chill on his face. Fine flakes of snow came unexpectedly and dug into people's necks.

Pedestrians on the street tightened their clothes and quickened their pace.

It's so cold, it's only right to go home and sit by the fire.

He Lingchuan walked into a medicine shop, ordered some medicinal materials, and asked the shopkeeper to cook the white tiger soup for him.

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

He Lingchuan smiled: "Yes."

He originally thought that after leaving Xushan, he would enter Panlong City at night, but that night he first had a dream about the Taoist Tree, and the next day he met Prince Lingxu who came to kill people and set fire to them.

Tonight, we finally entered the city.

After a while, the white tiger soup was ready. He was not afraid of being burned, so he picked up the jar and walked back.
