After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 557 So, there must be war

  However, those who searched for him also said that they had to hurry before Fu Shanyue returned to the post house.

  The identity of Prince Chiyan still makes the superiors somewhat scrupulous. After all, the relationship between Chiyan Kingdom and Lingxu City has been a little tense recently, and the identity of the real murderer who slaughtered the demon people from all over the world points to the high-level leaders of Lingxu City, so the Demon Emperor probably doesn't want to add fuel to the fire.

   But how long can this scruple last, or how long can their patience last? Hard to say.

  He Lingchuan knew that he had to dispel Bai Ziqi's suspicion as soon as possible, even if it was temporarily.

   But at least he can sleep well tonight.

  …

  The hometown of souls, Chipa Plateau.

  He Lingchuan turned his head and sneezed.

  Who is talking about him behind his back, or is there too much pepper in the roast lamb?

   "Let me do it." Shao Jian took the pepper bottle from him, took the knife and scratched the leg of lamb twice more, "If you talk about the skill of roasting lamb, I would rank second, and no one would dare to recognize the first."

   In the past ten years in exile, he spent the most time in the wild.

  He Lingchuan retracted his hands and sat back on the log, and saw a red round seal ring on his ring finger.

  The surface of the ring is not inlaid with gems or jade like other merchants, but engraved with patterns and words.

   "Your ring is a bit strange."

"This?" Shao Jian flipped his fingers and glanced, "I used to go to the west to do business, and I saw that the rich and nobles there wore this kind of seal ring. When you want to seal it, you just need to make a fist and press it. It's very convenient. Make a signet."

  He stretched out his finger and showed it to He Lingchuan, who said, "Is this pattern a conch?"

   "Yes, the earliest chamber of commerce I founded was called the Hongluo Chamber of Commerce." Shao Jian said with a smile, "Do some transportation at seaside ports."

  He looked at He Lingchuan and said, "Now that the Xixiang Plain has been captured by Panlong City, you have a chance to go south. The life of the seaside people is completely different from our inland."

  He Lingchuan specifically pointed to the dry goods he bought: "The delicacies of mountains and seas will be stewed together."

   "Exactly." Shao Jian laughed. He made a special trip to the Chipa Plateau to buy dried red mushrooms from specific farmers, saying that the ones sold by them were much better than those sold in shops in the city. How do you say that word:

  Authentic.

   My daughter likes red mushroom soup the most, so I appointed him to bring some back. Just because of this sentence, Shao Jian, the pet girl, had to travel another fifty miles, and He Lingchuan had to accompany him as his bodyguard.

  The journey was long, and it was getting dark quickly, so the two simply stayed in the farmer's barn, and bought a black goat from the host's family for dinner.

   The little girl is right, and the red mushroom and lamb soup are also very good. This kind of dried mushrooms is soaked and then stewed with meat. The soup is clear and red, and it looks extra warm. Although there are a little oily flowers on the surface, it is refreshing and not greasy, with the unique aroma of mountain delicacies.

  He Lingchuan made a bowl of soup for Shao Jian: "How old is your daughter?"

  "It's seven years old." Shao Jian said about his daughter, with a smile on his face, "She's very skinny, not as dignified as a girl, and she can climb trees and jump horses now."

  As soon as he said that, he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

   It turned out that he passed by a small town ten years ago, and fell in love with a woman. They were soon married and had a daughter two years later.

  Shao Jian was burdened with the hatred of the country and the family, and spent half his life in exile, moaning day and night; but after he got a daughter, his world regained its color.

  He even showed He Lingchuan the amulet on his waist.

  It is made of red rope, a little rough and clumsy, but it is made by my beloved daughter. He traveled all over the world, and he wore it every day.

  He Lingchuan smiled and said, "What's her name?"

  "Shao Yingying, whose nickname is Swallow. Hey, let me tell you, there is nothing more sincere than this in the world for family happiness." Shao Jian flipped the mutton in his hand again, "So I really admire Brother Zhong, what a capable person can't do."

  If it were him, he would definitely be reluctant to sacrifice his own daughter, and would rather use himself instead.

   Speaking of this, he sighed.

  He Lingchuan smiled, what kind of father is there in the world?

  However, he still followed Shao Jian's words: "Mr. Shao is also amazing. From now on, he will fight against the gods alone."

Shao Jian laughed: "Last year, I took my family Yingying to the West Street Temple Fair in Linhe City. Yingying likes to eat the moist rice cakes there the most. I buy them for her every time I go home. There is a fortune teller for me. Xiang, also wrote a 14-character address and stuffed it in the gourd, "Sing wildly and drink lightly, don't ask for peace from the wind and rain", hehe, saying that I am wandering in this life, and it is difficult to have a good end. After Yingying understood, she cried several times night."

  He shook his head: "This is my destiny, I admit it. But I hope that Yingying will have a safe and smooth life, and don't follow in my footsteps."

  He Lingchuan said softly: "Then you should stay away from her."

  Shao Jian glanced at him and said bitterly, "Yes, that's it."

  He closed his eyes, heaved a long sigh, and then changed the subject: "I think Brother Zhong and General Hong both intend to cultivate you. Work hard, the young man has a bright future."

   After getting along these few days, he and He Lingchuan have gradually become familiar with each other.

   "Me?" He Lingchuan smiled shyly, "I'm just a pawn."

"If you can enter the fighting hall and listen to our discussion about Xinglongzhu, then you are not an ordinary pawn." Shao Jian cut off a piece of mutton and gave it to him, "I think you are friendly and have a sense of proportion in doing things, these are all excellent qualities. "

   "Is he a friendly person?" Only in the hometown of souls can someone praise him like this. In reality, no matter whether he is a friend or an enemy, he is said to have a dark belly.

  He Lingchuan tasted the grilled lamb, the outer layer of charred skin was crispy and crispy, and after taking a bite, the inside was tender and juicy.

  Shao Jian's craftsmanship is really ten blocks behind him.

"Of course. Be kind to others, make more friends and less enemies, so that the road ahead will be wider and wider." Shao Jian picked up the mutton, took a sip of hot soup with a bowl, "It doesn't need to be a big deal. As long as you can To achieve the goal, why not be softer?"

"Brother Zhong and I used to study together in Lingxu City. I saw him talk freely with doctors in the Taixue Academy, leaving him speechless. At that time, I admired his knowledge and temperament, and felt that this man was a heroic man. Qian Yun and Yi Shi are sober. But, after so many years of ups and downs, when I think back, Brother Zhong’s outspokenness is destined to suffer in court, otherwise why would he be sent to Panlong Wasteland later on?”

"In this point, don't learn from him." Both he and He Lingchuan finished off half a bowl of mutton soup, "As long as you have great ambition and perseverance, what's the point of humility and humility? It's just a means, and the end result is what matters, isn't it?" Is it?"

  After Shao Jian had a daughter, his heart became much softer. When he saw a junior like He Lingchuan, he had a heart of love for talent, and he couldn't help teaching him.

  He Lingchuan followed Shao Jian and learned more about Beja.

  This knowledge comes from people who have experienced it, and it is difficult to obtain it from books.

  But this person never mentioned Yuan Guo, and He Lingchuan tried to lure him there several times, but he distracted him. This name is like his spell and taboo, no one is allowed to touch it.

  He Lingchuan can only choose relatively safe topics, such as:

   "Mr. Wu, what kind of temper is the demon emperor? Does he really want to obey the gods?"

   "The current demon emperor is very talented and broad-minded. After two hundred years in power, Bega has not fallen."

  He Lingchuan poked the fire: "Is it possible to rule the roost if you keep Bega alive?"

  It is now the seventeenth year of the Panlong calendar, and Bega's second demon emperor is still in power; in He Lingchuan's era, this person has already been called "the first emperor" by Bega people.

"Such a vast territory, such complicated national conditions, and the accumulated evils accumulated over hundreds of years." Shao Jian cut another piece of mutton, chewing slowly, "Governing a country is difficult, and it is difficult to reach the blue sky. It is difficult to maintain a large and It is extremely difficult to not fall. You can see that these human kingdoms around the edge can only last for more than a hundred years, and as short as seven or eight years, there will be dynasties changing and annexing."

   But his original intention was not to praise his family's murderer, so the words changed:

   "But these so-called demon emperors, demon kings, and so-called national teachers, they are all murderers and traitors in the world!"

  He Lingchuan's eyes moved: "A traitor?"

"The ancestors of the demon emperors were all powerful demon immortals. They fought against the invasion of the gods resolutely and fearlessly. Even if they were martyred, they would go forward bravely." Shao Jian said coldly. Willing to be a **** of the gods, to harm the people for it!"

   "Is this not a traitor? You've lost all face of your ancestors!" The last sentence couldn't help but turned into a stern expression.

  He Lingchuan was speechless for a while. How long is two thousand years, the sea has turned into mulberry fields, not to mention the changes in personnel?

   What's more, more than 600 years ago, Bega's founding demon emperor also faced a situation where the demon clan was weak and squeezed by humans with no room for living, so he had to ask for foreign aid.

  The main conflict at that time was already between humans and the demon race; how could the demon emperor at that time fight side by side with the immortals like his ancestors in ancient times?

He Lingchuan asked again: "Mi Tian Niang Niang said that the gods have been sucking the nightmare of this world. I was listening to the lecture in Xiantang, and I also heard that the relationship between the human world and the gods is a trade-off. They sucked more nightmare , which led to the depletion of spiritual energy in our world. Do the demon emperors and demon kings of Vega know about this?"

  Shao Jian was amazed: "Ask Xiantang to still teach this?"

  He also went to Xiantang to listen to the lectures, knowing that there are all public classes. Does Panlong City reveal this kind of secret to the citizens?

   "Taught, taught." He Lingchuan lied without batting an eyelid, and even sent a sincere smile.

"Of course the higher-ups of Bega know." The fire light danced in Shao Jian's eyes, "The resources of the gods have been exhausted, and the gods must extract the energy to survive from the human world. Once the essence that exists in the bodies of all creatures overflows, it will become a nightmare." Qi! Demons and humans contain sufficient nightmare energy, especially the large number of humans, which is the best source of nightmare energy."

   "However, in the process of natural aging, the nightmare will continue to disappear and return to the world. So—"

   It turned out that Tian Shengzi's deduction was correct. He Lingchuan whispered: "So there is going to be a war?"

   "Only by war can the lives of young adults be harvested quickly, just like harvesting the freshest leeks."
