After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 578 Li Qingge's request

  Li Qingge was slightly surprised: "How do you know... Oh!"

  She remembered that before Governor Xiazhou left Shihuan City, she had asked the father and son if there was a bamboo tube among Sun Fuping's relics.

   It was all a long time ago. This young man has a really kind and careful memory, which is very different from the recklessness he showed outside.

   That's right, after leaving Manager He, he doesn't seem to be reckless anymore.

   "Yes, that's it."

  He Lingchuan thought for a while: "How do you know that it is really in the hands of Nian Zanli, and not taken away by Da Sima of Wuzhou?"

  At the beginning of Yuan’s domestic turmoil, the great Sima Donghaoming took the lead in rebelling, and Nian Zanli had been on the sidelines until He Chunhua reported to the capital. But both of them are closely related to Sun Fuping.

   "I went to Wuzhou to check carefully, and it wasn't with Da Sima." Li Qingge was sure, "And Nian Zanli used this thing when he threatened Songyang Mansion. So I can confirm that it is in Nian Zanli's hands."

   "He knows that he can blackmail you with this thing, so why is he willing to return it to you?"

  Li Qingge smiled bitterly: "This is the difficulty."

   "I don't have a good time in Lingxu City for the celebration of New Year's Eve, so Sir, there is no way to deal with him?"

"I've tried a few times, but this guy won't let me in, and he won't return anything. I'm afraid I'll push too hard, so he just destroys the bamboo tube. I can ask someone for help, but I can't be too picky about this matter. Otherwise, it’s just driving tigers to devour wolves..." She smiled wryly, "After all, this is Lingxu City, not Yuan Country, and I don't have the privilege of being a landlord."

  Her words are very clear, and it is not good to seek help from other powers, lest it is easy to ask God and give up to God.

   "Grandfather is so relieved of me?" Are you afraid that he will take the bamboo tube as his own?

  Li Qingge smiled gently and movingly: "Young Master is not that kind of person."

  He Lingchuan also smiled, and put away the inner armor: "Come to Lingxu City for the New Year's celebration, what are your demands?"

  Li Qingge lent him the purple golden pestle to deal with Bai Ziqi, and sent someone to send Xinglongzhu to Wange Swamp for him, so he owed at least two favors to Li Qingge's two bosses and had to pay them back.

   "The battle of Hanhe caused him heavy casualties, and the plan to attack Xiazhou with the cooperation of Da Sima Dong Haoming failed. I think this has become a knot in his heart, and it has also caused Lingxu City to treat him coldly."

  He Lingchuan nodded when he heard this.

  He is no longer the young man by the Han River who knew nothing about the Northern Demon Kingdom a few months ago. Traveling around the demon kingdom and several near-death experiences allowed him to learn more about Bega, especially Lingxu City, and he is no longer just looking at flowers in the fog.

  If at the beginning of the Nian Zan Ceremony, He Chunhua could realize as clearly as he is now that Lingxu City's attitude towards the Nian Zan Ceremony must have a huge strategic adjustment.

   "In the past two months, the New Year's Ceremony has spent a lot of money in Lingxu City, and I hope to find some nobles to lobby the Demon Emperor."

   "Is it effective?" He Lingchuan was very concerned.

   "Yes, I heard a piece of news that he seems to have invited Qingyang Guoshi to be a lobbyist."

  He Lingchuan's eyes flashed: "Master Qingyang? I remember that Nian Zanli asked Shuangye Guoshi to allocate Yuanli before the Battle of Hanhe. Why did you switch to Qingyang Guoshi now?"

  "Maybe it's because of the heavy losses in the Hanhe war?" Li Qingge didn't pick his words too clearly, but He Lingchuan had already heard it clearly.

  Hong Chenglue put up a New Year's Praise in the Battle of Hanhe, and Hong Chenglue was sent by Shuangye Guoshi, so the New Year's Praise probably had a knot in his heart.

   "Did Master Qingyang persuade you?"

   "It seems that Dijun's attitude has loosened—"

  He Lingchuan was stunned, Qingyang Guoshi's influence is still great. Yuan Kingdom Xiazhou has just experienced the Battle of the Hanhe River, and is still breathing, is it going to face another disaster?

  As a time traveler, he doesn't have deep feelings for the Yuan Country, but he doesn't want the people there to suffer.

   Who would have thought that Li Qingge continued: "However, at this moment, the case of immortal medicine broke out suddenly, and the Qingfu Temple also exploded. Although it seems that it has nothing to do with the Qing Palace, but..."

   "But the clues are secretly pointing to the Qing Palace, isn't the **** mad?" He Lingchuan said with a smile, "the **** is not happy, the emperor probably can't consider Qingyang Guoshi's opinion."

   "That's right, so the plan for the New Year's Ceremony has been put on hold. He spent so much money and recruited so many people, but the bamboo basket was empty!"

  He Lingchuan understood. No wonder I saw Nian Zanli at the Dunyuan sale, with a haggard face and a gloomy expression.

  Greatness hits a wall everywhere here.

   Unexpectedly, when he pursued an elixir case, he actually hit the right track, destroying the plan to borrow troops for the New Year's ceremony.

   Originally, it was impossible to hit the edge, but in the end it also caught up.

  Papa should really give him a pennant, otherwise Vega's iron hooves will soon set foot on the land of Yuan Country Xiazhou.

"He wants to use someone from Beijia to make a comeback, so he has to coerce the Songyang Mansion to contribute money and efforts." Li Qingge put away his smile, "I like to travel around the world, but I'm still from the Yuan Kingdom after all, so how can I cooperate with him to attack?" Your own home country?"

  He Lingchuan lowered his gaze, and secretly said loudly.

   Li Qingge only talked about himself but reminded He Lingchuan from beginning to end that the people of Yuan Country should help the people of Yuan Country. He helped Li Qingge get back the bamboo tube to help his mother country from the disaster of war.

  She held out this big hat, and it was hard for He Lingchuan to have a reason to refuse.

Li Qingge said again: "Xiazhou is already weak, and it has been tossed by the war for another year. It is still seriously injured and has not recovered. Last time I passed by the suburbs of Dunyu, I saw that people's livelihood is still difficult, and the old man is over five years old. Xunya lost all his teeth, but he couldn't even drink porridge." She shook her head, "If you can stop the New Year's praise ceremony here, it will also be a great help to your father."

He Lingchuan said solemnly: "Let's not talk about the righteousness of the family and the country, the Sir has helped me several times, and this favor should be repaid. But I have just arrived in Lingxu City for less than ten days, and the Sir really thinks that I can help busy?"

  Fellowship comes and goes, and if there is back and forth, favors can be used more and more.

"Young Master is now a close friend of the prince, an emissary of Chi Yan, and is also famous for the immortality drug case and the posthouse explosion." Li Qingge supported his heart with his hands, "You see that the New Year's Gift offered you a gift, which means that he thinks You are worthy of friendship."

  She leaned forward slightly towards He Lingchuan: "Do you know that the Chiyan Demon King has a good relationship with Suluo Kingdom?"

  Sura Country and Baoshu Country both border on Kite Country.

   "I don't know." He Lingchuan said honestly, "Three months ago, I couldn't even memorize the name of Bega's vassal demon country. But here in Nianzanli, I will try my best."

  Li Qingge immediately stood up and bowed to him: "My young master is so righteous, Qingge is very grateful."

   "They're all kite people, what are you talking about?" He Lingchuan returned the sentence to her, "But I just arrived in Lingxu, and there are not enough people."

"Young Master, if you need anything, just ask." Li Qingge spoke softly, toasted him a glass of wine, and then said, "Songyang Mansion also has a few smart people in Lingxu City, and they have been running here for three years. More than one year old, young and old can do whatever they want."

  He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows: "My lord started running the business of Lingxu City a long time ago?"

  “The first branch was opened here five years ago.”

"The situation is swift and fierce." He Lingchuan smiled, "I went to Dunyuan a few days ago, and the Wushan screen is so domineering." It is also very eye-catching. and mark in the lower left corner.

  Dun Garden of General Golden Horn, is that where any small businessman can advertise?

  Lingxu City has developed for six hundred years, and the business ecology has probably solidified. Songyang Mansion can tear a small opening in such a short period of time, Li Qingge, this woman's wrist is not easy.

She frowned, showing a bit of distress: "It's hard work to achieve this, but it's not the time. The year's praise needs to be handled up and down in Lingxu City, so I treat my place as a bank, and come here every now and then to ask for money Want something."

  He Lingchuan held a piece of fish fillet with pine nuts, chewing slowly: "He only treats Songyang Mansion as a cash cow, he really underestimated the Sir."

  In his opinion, Li Qingge's ability to make money came second.

Just to give an example: Songyang Mansion opened a sub-helm in the capital of the northern demon country a few years ago. At that time, the relationship between the Yuan Kingdom and Beijia was already very bad. How can you say that Songyang Mansion is also a Taoist school that started from the Yuan Kingdom? Well, Li Qingge is also the Marquis of the Yuan Kingdom, so if the two sides do business openly, the Yuan Kingdom will let it go.

   But Li Qingge's husband was killed for collaborating with the enemy and treason.

  No matter from which angle you look at it, she doesn't look like someone who can stay out of it.

  But she just did it. Not only was Songyang Mansion unaffected, but the business was getting bigger and bigger.

   Switching to other ordinary businessmen, I don’t know how many times I lost my head.

  He Lingchuan boldly guessed, did this woman have some agreement with Yuan Ting in private?

Li Qingge was not modest, and raised his eyebrows: "Nian Zanli has lived in Xunzhou for a long time and rarely returned to Shihuan. I guess he doesn't know much about Songyang Mansion or me, and Sun Fuping didn't tell him too much. He only extorted some money from me. But after he gets the bamboo tube, he will probably spend his energy to investigate. Later... it will be troublesome."

  He Lingchuan said seriously: "Let me try my best."

   "By the way, you have to be careful, don't let the New Year's Blessing destroy the bamboo tube, don't even let him unplug it."

  He Lingchuan nodded in agreement. He probably guessed what was in the bamboo tube.

   "By the way, I have a new toy here, do you want to try it?"

Toy? New toy to try out?

  He Lingchuan quickly put the weird thoughts behind him: "Yes, yes."

  Li Qingge took out a small box: "This is a chasing bee, you can tell what it is for just by hearing the name, right?"

  The box is octagonal, which looks like a pocket watch, and the filigree wrapping pattern on the cover is in the shape of a bee, which is elegant and delicate as a whole.

  Since it is called "Chasing Bees", He Lingchuan thought that two bees would fly out when the box was opened, but it didn't.

   Inside is a compass-like thing, a sandalwood panel, with scales and characters on it, and two small needles in the middle, one long and one short.

   Isn't this just a... compass? Although the box is nice.

   "Interesting, how to use it?" Li Qingge is very particular, although he does things with human feelings, he still doesn't forget to give him some benefits.

  She turned over the box, and He Lingchuan saw that there was a hidden compartment behind the box.
