Lord of Rot

Chapter 492 White Crow Valley
When Li Qi arrived at the first floor of the big library, it was just dark outside.

Several scholars pushed the ladders to the glass chandelier, climbed up the ladder with difficulty holding lighted candles, and put the candles in the glass chandelier.

Candles were placed one by one until the first floor of the large library was completely lit by candlelight.

There are also a few face-to-face scholars in charge of the third floor who nodded and greeted Li Qi after seeing him. The junior apprentices also looked at Li Qi curiously. Recently, a nobleman who read and forgot to eat and sleep came to the big library. It has long been known to everyone. .

Li Qi also nodded in response.

Leaving the big library, he touched the position of the gemstone. In addition to reading in the past few days, he was also trying to get close to the giant's skeleton.

In the beginning, some scholars would stare at Li Qi, Li Qi thought it was forbidden to touch, but when he really touched the giant's bones with his hands, no one came to stop him, and Li Qi realized that probably in their eyes, It's kind of funny to be sneaky by yourself.

No one cares, so feel free to touch it.

The Thunder Gems have been reacting, but not much, and if the giant can come back from the dead, maybe the mystery can be solved.

However, to use massive amounts of gold to build a giant, it would be better to directly ask the original owner who gave the gems, and it might be easier to get the answer.

So after studying for a few days with no results, Li Qi completely put down his thoughts and continued reading.

The avenue of the royal capital.

Candles are not used to light up the streets at night. Compared with the porcupine collar, which is trying to use fire and water lamps to bring light to the territory at night, only a part of the area will be lit with torches. It was almost black.

The darkness has no effect on Li Qi.

With the wind blowing in spring, the temperature in the capital, which is further north than Donggang City, has finally warmed up in the past few days, and the night will not make people shiver.

A short figure approached, and Li Qi regained his energy suddenly, and followed him away.

After a while, we stopped in front of a house.

Li Qi pushed open the door and entered.

"Good night, my lord" Alan bent down.

"What information did you find out?" Li Qi rubbed his head, pulled up a chair and sat down. The legs of the chair rubbed against the ground, making a sharp and harsh sound.

Alan looked at Li Qi, who was in poor condition, and poured him a cup of tea: "Pei De, who you asked me to follow up and investigate, has recently lived in a simple place, and occasionally went to the noble manor in a carriage. The little mice can't get it." What useful information."

He put the two pieces of paper on the table in front of Li Qi: "This is the information about which nobles Pei De has seen in the past few days."

After only a glance, Li Qi looked away.

The content is useless. Peide is just a male favorite, and he has no control over real national affairs. Things that require him to take off his pants to complete are all conspiracy and conspiracy that cannot be put on the table, let alone important.

Li Qi was curious about who tricked Hong Qiangwei to the ball, and judging from Pei De's performance, his goal was Hong Qiangwei from the beginning.

The queen is also at the ball. According to his guess, the queen knows the list of all the participants. Does that mean that the queen found her son's boyfriend and went to fuck her son's fiancée?

My dear son, your hat is crooked. Come here, mommy will help you put it straight.

Something was wrong again. Strictly speaking, boyfriend and fiancee were double cuckolds. Li Qi suddenly brainstormed for a while, and his head, which had just gotten better, became swollen and painful.

"Find an opportunity to catch him," he said immediately. "Remember to be secretive, don't be discovered by others, and ask him carefully what he plans to do."

The city was full of fish and dragons, and a large number of nobles came. It was just a male favorite who was missing. Even if the male favorite belonged to the king, it didn't matter if he was missing.

"Yes"

"As for the activity funds, just fly a message directly to Desert Leiweng City. I will write a letter to Lisu later."

Due to the shortage of development funds in several other places, only Leiweng City has accumulated funds for many generations and is considered the richest area in Li Qi's hands.

"Thank you, sir!" Alan was surprised.

"If there is a danger of being discovered, let the little mice evacuate out of the city as soon as possible. I also like those smart children. Even if they can't pry out information, they can still contribute to development in the future."

Allen lowered his head: "They will remember your kindness!"

"My lord, you asked me to track down the Transcendent who can control mice, but I didn't find him. The other party is very slippery, but he probably didn't realize that we were investigating and tracking him."

"Well, always pay attention, just don't be targeted." Li Qi was not surprised. Beast Whisperers can be said to be the most difficult type of transcendent to catch. All animals are their eyeliner. Surrounded by seemingly hard-to-fly Easy to escape, who can keep an eye on a mouse, or a bird in the sky.

Allen raised his head and continued: "But I have already investigated the people who appeared in the tavern that day, and collected some useful information."

A small pile of white paper produced by Porcupine was placed on the table.

Li Qi didn't pay attention to Allen's movement of holding a candle closer to try to illuminate himself. The darkness could not affect Li Qi's vision.

He flipped through it quickly.

There were not many big shots in the tavern, the highest ranking were the two Golden Bear soldiers who came out to drink and relax on vacation.

"The guards of the Winter Family, and this, the steward in charge of the celebration?" Li Qi was keenly aware that the problem might be related to the celebration hunting.

This is a major event that happened recently. It is related to the death of the eldest prince, the marriage of the second prince, and the determination of the candidate for the future king.

The Winter family is in charge of managing the kingdom's hunting grounds, and its territory is in the White Crow Valley, which is also the destination of this hunting activity.

"They seem to be related by blood."

Li Qi nodded, if it was just a simple gathering of relatives to drink, then it would make sense.

"Continue to gather the children who are willing to follow us. Keep an eye on everyone on the list, but catching the beast whisperer is the most important."

He always felt that something big was about to happen, and he had an ominous premonition for no reason.

Back at Bear's Castle, Li Qi fell on the bed and slept soundly, relieving his mental fatigue.

The celebration hunt is about to begin.

The nobles got on carriages or rode horses, leading their guards towards the White Crow Valley.

If he is a normal scout and gallops with two horses, he can start early in the morning and arrive in the afternoon, and he can still have a cup of afternoon tea.

However, the team on this trip are all noble ladies and young ladies with delicate skin and tender flesh. They do not participate in hunting, but the harvest of hunting requires their applause.

Therefore, the whole team moved very slowly, even slower than when Li Qi escorted Red Rose from Dongxia to the capital. It took at least a day and a half, or even two days, to walk for half a day.

……

Bode grabbed the reins, rode on the horse, and rode alongside Li Qi.

The team moved forward slowly, and even the horses felt a lot more relaxed. They seemed to be chatting. Just now, Li Qi had seen two noble horses quarreling. One horse kicked the other. , threw the nobleman down, making people laugh, and the two angry noblemen almost started a duel.

Bode turned his head, looked at Li Qi and said, "I told Stacy that you have come to the capital."

Li Qi looked at the front of the team and asked casually: "Did she reply?"

"No, but you can write to her."

"No, she understands."

Bode curled his lips. He and Li Qi knew about the same time that Stacy knew Li Qi. He still remembered Li Qi crying when he was beaten by Stacy when he was a child.

After growing up, when the two meet again, they always start with a fight and end with Li Qi being injured.

But I don't know what's going on between the two of them, but they suddenly seem to understand each other very well.

Obviously Stacy and Li Qi didn't stay together as long as she did.

Li Qi added: "When this celebration is over, I will go to Linta Bay."

"Take her away?" Bode forced a sinister smile on his face.

Even though he knew he was joking, the look on his face still made people feel creepy.

Li Qi asked back: "Can't you?"

"Father will be very grateful to you." Bode rarely complained about the father-daughter relationship in his family.

Thinking of every time the Crocodile family's father and daughter quarreled, one shouted that I would hack you to death, and the other said that you couldn't beat me, Li Qi said: "They have a very good relationship."

Bird smiled, admitting it, otherwise Stacey wouldn't have been unmarried at twenty-two.
