The Xiaoyao Sect pays tribute to the state of Mou every thirty years, so how can there be any leftover for sale?
But He Lingchuan also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
King Wei finally gave a clear answer.
If he pretends to be stupid and insists that he doesn't know what a bright lamp is, this matter will be a bit troublesome.
He Lingchuan did not want to tell the story of Dr. Chen, lest the witness be silenced.
King Wei saw their expressions in his eyes, snorted, and sent his palace servants out to summon the relevant people.
This time it took too long, so he asked He Lingchuan and Dong Rui to wait in the hall while he left first.
The wait lasted for more than half an hour, and hot water was only supplied twice.
But none of the three of them touched it.
…
That morning, just after He Lingchuan and the others left Rulin Inn, Yingya Guard Han Kun walked out of the inn and bought a bunch of steamed buns and some cold dishes.
When the guest room was empty, the window suddenly moved.
Han Kun had breakfast with his companions and returned to his guest room, always feeling that something was not quite right.
He glanced around the room, but nothing had changed.
Maybe it's an illusion?
Other Shadowfang Guards knocked on the door and called him over to fight Shuanglu.
The Shuanglu they brought with them was just a small chessboard, not a giant one like Sodin Island.
Today, the boss and the special envoy went to the palace, and everyone stayed at the inn. If they had nothing to do, they had nothing to do, so why not play a few games to pass the time.
Han Kun didn't think much, squeezed his money bag and went out.
At the same time, several notes suddenly floated into the Yuwei Station of Xuncheng, two hundred feet away.
Yu Wei picked it up and looked at it. There were only a few words on it:
Ten members of the Mai Party hid in Rulin Inn, pretending to be guards from other countries, and became highly skilled!
Letters of reporting against the remnants of the rebel party are coming every two days. Besides, the Mai Party has been causing trouble recently and has become more and more arrogant. King Wei has long ordered a search and rigorous investigation. Normally, Yu Wei would handle such reports on his own after receiving such reports, but today
It happened that Nangong Yan was also there, so the note was sent to him, asking him to make a decision.
Nangong Yan only glanced at it:
"check!"
Soon, Yu Wei came back and reported:
"The waiter at Rulin Inn said that these people had been here for more than half a month, and they often closed the door to discuss secretly, and no one was allowed to come near. They said that they were merchants, but they didn't see them buying or selling goods, and they were quite generous. One time they went out and went out.
, this guy vaguely heard what they were saying, 'map of the royal palace,' but as soon as he showed up, the other party stopped talking and scolded him to leave."
Nangong Yan narrowed his eyes: "It's very suspicious. Make some arrangements first and send more people."
It's pretty close anyway.
The men took the order and left.
The master said to make arrangements first, that is, to set up an ambush, set up a formation, and use a set of combos in front. There are always practitioners among the rebels. Yu Wei is already very experienced in dealing with them, so he must make sure that no one can escape!
Half an hour later.
Nangong Yan was about to get up and enter the palace when he heard footsteps outside and his guards hurried in:
"General manager, the rebels in Rulin Inn are awesome. We killed and injured more than 70 people, and killed three of them!"
This is still when our own side launches a sneak attack.
The note turned out to be correct. These people were not weak in cultivation. The first mover had the advantage, but our side actually suffered such heavy losses? Nangong Yan was stunned and strode out: "Are they really traitors?"
The casualty rate is seventy to three, how can ordinary people have that ability?
"They called themselves the Mou State Guards and took out their official badges."
Nangong Yan sneered: "It's a little trick. Some rebels have done this before."
Forge an official badge and use illusion to make it shine.
"But we found these two things from the captured guest room." Yu Wei took out a book with two red and blue beads, "This is the book of the criminal Mai Liansheng! These remnants took it and copied it.
, we used the words in the book as code words to communicate with each other; the beads were ornaments on the corridor of the old house of the Mai family. I heard there were hundreds of them on one hanging. The Mai gang we had caught before used them as tokens of connection."
Nangong Yan's eyes narrowed: "You didn't let them run away, did you?"
"We set up two formations and a set of traps outside the inn to arrest them. They tried several times but failed to break through." Yu Wei is very skilled in catching rebels, but this time, "Lian Jin Yu Wei
Both, two people were injured."
The Golden Feather Guards are elites trained by Nangong Yan himself. They have the ability to split tigers and leopards. They are an upgraded version of the ordinary Feather Guards. There are twelve people in total. They are recognized as tyrannical in the Xuncheng Army.
As soon as he heard that Jin Yuwei was injured, Nangong Yan's face darkened, and he pressed the ring on his ring finger: "Where are the rest of Jin Yuwei? In addition, mobilize a hundred more people to go with me!"
To arrest a dozen rebels, he actually had to do it himself?
…
King Wei appeared again, accompanied by a woman.
Although the country is beautiful and fragrant, it is like a weak willow supporting the wind. When she appears, others feel that this magnificent hall is even more empty and cold.
How many people did He Lingchuan recognize here? But this was also a familiar face.
Mei Fei.
She was dressed in peach pink today, which was just the right amount of gorgeousness, and her face was finally more rosy than the previous few days.
Standing next to the already aging King, she was like a new peach blossom blooming on an old tree.
Concubine Mei also saw He Lingchuan and Dong Rui, Qi Qi turned her eyes to Jin Bai, and her beautiful eyes widened slightly.
But this abnormality was fleeting, and she looked back at King Fan again.
In Concubine Mei's eyes, only an old man of this age who could be her grandfather was so focused and so admired.
He Lingchuan noticed that King Wei also held her hand after sitting down.
After she also sat down, King Wei called someone from behind and said to He Lingchuan:
"Before March, Gu Zeng sent an envoy to order bright lanterns from the Xiaoyao Sect. This was Luo Jingzhou, the envoy at that time. Come, tell envoy Mou the story of this matter."
"Yes. I conveyed the king's order to the Xiaoyao Sect, but Head Li refused, saying that the Ming Ming lamp was a treasure of the sect and would not be leaked. I tried to persuade the sect for three days to no avail, so I had to return, but before I left the Xiaoyao Sect, Elder Cao Yanhua
So I found him privately and told him that the lamp would mature in another twelve days and he would be willing to give it to our country."
"Elder Cao Yanhua?" He Lingchuan's mind raced, "How much is he asking for?"
"Thirty-five thousand taels of silver."
He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows upon hearing this. It was not expensive. After all, it was such a precious herb.
"It's a good deal. The king agreed?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! King Huang said lightly: "Why don't you agree? It's just a small amount of money."
He is a majestic king, but he still can’t afford thirty-five thousand?
He Lingchuan immediately asked: "Aren't you worried that there is fraud?"
Luo Jingzhou answered on his behalf: "Elder Cao made an agreement with me at that time to put things first and money later. When the lamp is mature, he will send a message to my king to set the time and place for delivery."
If you give something first and then pay later, what kind of fraud is King Wei afraid of?
It's Cao Yanhua who is worried that he won't be able to get the money.
The more He Lingchuan listened, the more he felt something was wrong: "Where will the delivery be delivered?"
"Forty-two days ago, at the Laorong Posthouse in Xuncheng." Luo Jingzhou said, "It was also my humble duty to take someone to retrieve it. The bright lamp was hidden under the bed in the guest room on the second floor. I retrieved the bright lamp and gave it to Imperial Physician Chen to refine.
"
The transaction location was actually chosen to be in the capital of the country, so of course King Wei felt more at ease.
"Forty-two days ago!" He Lingchuan counted the days, his face sinking, "On that day, Shadow Fang Guards just arrived at Julu Port!"
