Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Conversation of Truth and Falsehood
One sentence made Liang Yansheng extremely nervous.
The sweat of the bean was dripping across the dough, bringing a slight itch and discomfort, but it didn't matterโhe was just staring at the girl in front of him now, holding his breath, tensing his bodyโthis was the instinctive human reaction to the crisis.
That's his secret, a secret that even Su Qingyu didn't know - but just now, this secret was told by an unrelated girl.
Liang Yansheng's Adam's apple swayed up and down, as if he was about to squeeze out some words, but the panic that rushed straight to his head made him unable to say a word.
"How do you know? I heard that the news of the year has been blocked a long time ago. โ
Finally, he asked, albeit only in two sentences.
"Because I was interested, I just asked my subordinates to investigate. โ
Yu Qinglian stood on tiptoe, and his body appeared on Liang Yansheng's side in the blink of an eye, and said in his ear. In a moment that human vision could not capture, she flicked her fingers, and the faint light points that popped out of her fingertips sank into the skin on the back of Liang Yansheng's ears.
โใใใ ๏ผ๏ผโ
The double stimulation of hearing and touch finally got feedback at this timeโLiang Yan jumped away violently, and a faint blue light flashed on his clenched right fist, which was about to be swung out.
"Miss Yu, why are you interested in those things, and what did you just do to me!"
Liang Yansheng covered his left ear with his left hand and questioned Yu Qinglian. He didn't know what Yu Qinglian had done, but the cold touch coming from the back of his ears just now couldn't be more real.
"It's just that we don't want people to hear what we're talking about. โ
For a moment, Liang Yansheng was stunned. He seemed to have some illusion, but Yu Qinglian's words sounded in his head again.
"Calm down, I don't want to waste time trying to calm your mind. โ
Yu Qinglian looked directly at Liang Yansheng, his mouth did not open, but Liang Yansheng really "heard" her words.
"So... โ
"Don't say it, just think about it. โ
Liang Yansheng was about to ask, but Yu Qinglian's words sounded in his head again, interrupting his words.
"The walls have ears, and it's always good to be more guarded. โ
Yu Qinglian shrugged his shoulders lightly and used some unknown method to convey his voice to Liang Yansheng.
This is definitely not the transmission of divine thoughts-Liang Yansheng is very accurate, because the transmission of divine thoughts can only be a one-way transmission, and it cannot allow people to read other people's thoughts, let alone let people who are still in the realm of divine souls use divine thoughts to transmit sounds.
"Yu Qinglian, why, you have to do this for me, even if it is kind, you will not give alms to an unrelated person for no reason-otherwise, with your strength, you can at least save one or two disciples of the Huashan Sword Sect. โ
Liang Yansheng stared at Yu Qinglian and said these words in his heart. Now, he calmed down and began to think about all kinds of things related to the girl in front of him. So, he began to slowly let go of his hostility, after all, if it wasn't for Yu Qinglian's help, he would have been buried in Huashan.
"Tell me, what do you want from me, if you don't touch my bottom line, I will promise you. โ
"Tsk, I felt that you were very smart at the beginning, but now it seems that you are really right, much stronger than Gongsun Tianshou's iron Hanhan. โ
Yu Qinglian raised his eyebrows lightly and said. With that, she took out a dozen papers from her bag and held them in her hands.
"What I want to do, I've told you just now, join my 'Exposer' and be at my disposalโthat's all I want. โ
When the voice ended, Yu Qinglian had an inexplicable smile on his face. Then, her red lips opened slightly.
"Here, all the information I have collected about the changes in the Liang Kingdom back then, do you want to take a look?"
Liang Yan was stunned for a moment, but after seeing the smile on the corner of the girl's mouth, he understood what she meant.
"Hmm, I don't know why you mentioned this matter to me, Miss Yu, and what does the destruction of the royal family of the Liang Kingdom have to do with me?"
However, this was just a verbal performance, and after hearing what Yu Qinglian said, Liang Yansheng could hardly restrain his excitement.
Back then, disaster struck suddenly, taking everything from him in the blink of an eye. He didn't know what had happened - to this day, the truth had come to his eyes in this way.
"It's really a sheep's mouth, and now I'm afraid it's impossible to shirk it - I promise you. โ
He transmitted the message to Yu Qinglian, feeling very helpless, but a little lucky.
"Oh, I thought you were the exiled prince of Liang, but it seems that I was suspicious. โ
Yu Qinglian didn't reply to Liang Yansheng's transmission, she just sighed softly, looked at the "meaningless" rice paper in her hand, and began to exert her hands.
"Alas, it's me who is cranky, because your surname Liang thinks that you are the prince and it's too ridiculous - also, how can the weak chicken prince who fell off the cliff survive- it's a pity that I have worked so hard to get this information, and I can only destroy it with my own hands, otherwise I am afraid that it will attract many people to be jealous. โ
"Shhh โ
"What are you doing? Didn't I promise you!"
The sound of the paper tearing sounded, and Yu Qinglian really tore the precious information in his hand in half. Then, she held the pieces of paper in half with her right hand and smiled at Liang Yansheng. I saw that Yu Qinglian's left fingertips formed a vortex of spiritual power, and he was about to touch the paper that could still be glued together.
Liang Yansheng's eyes widened, and he watched as the precious information he coveted was about to be twisted into powder by the spiritual power vortex. He desperately tried his best to make a voice to Yu Qinglian and ask her to stop, but Yu Qinglian had no intention of stopping.
"Stop, ahhhhh
"Stinging โโ!"
"I beg you, eldest sister, I was wrong, I should have promised you in the first place!
The corner of the paper touched the vortex of spiritual power, emitting a piercing scream. This voice exploded in Liang Yansheng's mind, making him feel as if he was also torn apart.
Liang Yansheng watched the powder fall to the ground, and was blown away by the wind, and finally there was nothing left, his heart was like ashes, if he hadn't tried his best to restrain himself, I was afraid that tears would have overflowed from his eyes.
"Don't worry, there is a backup, this is just a prop for drama. โ
Yu Qinglian's voice sounded in Liang Yansheng's mind, sounding a little gloating, as if it was funny to tease Liang Yansheng - however, Liang Yansheng didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction with this, although he still wanted to cry without tears.
"It seems that buying with intelligence won't work - then you say, how can you agree. โ
Since it is acting, of course it must be performed to the end-Yu Qinglian continued, naturally pouting.
The girl's slightly angry appearance was really cute, but in Liang Yansheng's eyes, Yu Qinglian's face was as terrifying as a ghost.
Next, it was time for Liang Yansheng to answer, fortunately, this time there was no need to rack his brains to consider every word, mention the conditions or something, just say it simply - however, at this time, Liang Yansheng turned his mind and thought of a good idea to retaliate against Yu Qinglian.
"Yu... ๏ผโ
"If you dare to say it, I promise you'll be gone. โ
Just the first word of that sentence just spitted out, Liang Yansheng regretted why he had that idea of death - the moment Yu Qinglian's cold words exploded in his mind, his vision suddenly darkened, and a feeling of being killed to death quickly spread to every part of his body, making all his internal organs stop functioning, almost going into shock to death.
"This lesson, I want you to remember, is not an example.
"Hah, phew. โ
The lungs resumed functioning, and the short period of suffocation made Liang Yansheng gasp heavily, excrete the waste gas in his body, and inhale fresh air.
His widening pupils looked at Yu Qinglian, and the unforgettable "death" made cold sweat oozing from every pore of his body. Now, his understanding of Yu Qinglian has changed dramatically again - this girl, no matter how unfathomable her spiritual cultivation is, her divine soul is also so strong that she is perverted.
"What are you still thinking about, tell me, I'm still waiting for dinner. โ
Even if he made such a move, Yu Qinglian's expression did not change at all, and he even urged casually.
The corners of Liang Yansheng's mouth twitched, he almost died, but the lessons he learned again and again really made him no longer have any desire to resist.
"Miss Yu, can you give me more money, twenty silver rune coins a month is really a bit less, if it is a thousand, then you can let me be a cow and a horse!"
Now Liang Yansheng, let alone die, even began to use all kinds of flattering and flattering words to transmit to Yu Qinglian to make her angry-as for the conditions for verbal expression, those don't matter, at best, it is just more money to spend to soothe his injured young heart.
"Oh, I thought you had some difficulty, so that it was difficult to speak in front of others, it turned out that you didn't want to expose the nature of your greed for money. โ
Yu Qinglian looked at Liang Yansheng with disdain, and there was a little disgust in his words.
"Say you're fat, you're still gasping, you've said that you're going to provide you with cultivation resources but you still want money?Oh yes, I remember you just now asked me what I did to you, right, then I'll tell you now-I buried a spiritual power crystal in your body, oh, if you dare to disobey me, then, it will... โ
Halfway through the words, Yu Qinglian suddenly paused, and the corners of his mouth rose up evilly.
"Explosion~Explosion~~Oh~!"
โ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผโ
Hearing what Yu Qinglian said, Liang Yansheng trembled all over, and his pupils shrank suddenly. It's just that his gaze is unusually calm, and there is no cold sweat on his skin.
"You... Do so ... Aren't you afraid of retribution... How can anyone seek cooperation like this?"
"It doesn't matter, as long as I can achieve my goal, I will do even if it is a matter of unconscionable - but it is not impossible for you to get more rewarded, so I will give you two hundred silver rune coins, no more. โ
Stretching slightly, Yu Qinglian said a little tiredly. Then she turned around and left the corridor next to the pond.
"That's it, let's go eat quickly, I'm so hungry. โ
The corners of Liang Yansheng's mouth twitched again, thinking that even if Yu Qinglian acted, he wouldn't make himself look like a sick villain, even if he said such terrible words, his tone did not fluctuate - he knew that the "threat" that Yu Qinglian said just now must be fake. If Yu Qinglian wanted him to die, there was no need to use something as troublesome as a spiritual power crystal.
Thinking like this, Liang Yansheng kept up with Yu Qinglian's pace, and then transmitted a message to her.
"Don't you need to play it?"
"Well, noโlook at the entrance to the corridor. โ
After receiving such an answer, Liang Yansheng looked in the direction that Yu Qinglian pointed out - a palace maid appeared in this corridor with her head bowed and hurried steps, as if she was eagerly looking for something.
Obviously, the palace maid also saw Yu Qinglian and the others, so she quickly knelt down, kowtowed, and her thin body under the plain clothes couldn't help but tremble.
"Knock on the lord, the little girl deserves death, I don't know that the lord has not left this place, and violated the order given by the lord before - but don't worry, the little girl didn't hear a word of what you just said, and the little girl has just come to this jade lotus pool, so please be magnanimous and spare the little girl!!"
The palace maid kept kowtowing and apologize, crying and pleading with Yu Qinglian, but she didn't raise her head once.
"Oh, what is it that makes you so anxious, even at the risk of sin?"
Yu Qinglian's brows furrowed slightly, and there was a hint of anger in her voice, whether it was the mistakes of her subordinates or the fact that she was so hungry that she was killed for a while, she was a little angry.
"My lord, the only relic my mother left me just dropped here. I just found out, so I came to look for it in a panic, and I didn't think about it so much, and asked my lord Haihan. My younger siblings are living on my job, so please let the adults give us a way to live. โ
The sound of whimpering and sobbing came from between the clenched arms, and every word sounded from the bottom of her heart, making Yu Qinglian couldn't help but feel compassion - it's just that the palace maid couldn't see it, and the corner of her mouth sneered faintly.
"It's okay, since you haven't heard anything, then I don't need to be difficult for you. Besides, it's a relic left by my deceased mother, and I'd be anxious if I did, so it's good if you find it as soon as possible - I'll go to dinner first, you look for it slowly, and you won't be so reckless next time. โ
After Yu Qinglian left this sentence, he signaled Liang Yansheng, and left directly, leaving only the palace maid.
"Thank you, Lord forgiveness!"
The palace maid stood up tremblingly, and after saluting Yu Qinglian again, she hurriedly walked to the pillar that Yu Qinglian and the two had just passed, picked up the inconspicuous purse under the railing and held it in her arms. Then, the palace maid rushed to the other end of the corridor, and did not raise her head once.
"Tsk, now do you understand?"
There were only the two of them left, and Yu Qinglian no longer used his divine thoughts to transmit sounds. She didn't look back at the maid, but she knew everything she had doneโand the purse had already been discovered by her in the first place.
"Hmmm... โ
Liang Yansheng nodded lightly, and he naturally saw what was going on when Yu Qinglian revealed the mystery at the beginning.
"That palace maid, is it really okay to leave it alone?"
He asked Yu Qinglian and looked back at the place where the palace maid disappeared to make sure that no one was there. Luckily, no one was there except for a vermilion wooden door.
"It's just a poor creature who obeys other people's orders, and doesn't even know who he obeys. โ
Yu Qinglian sighed and said lightly. She glanced at the ant on the railing not far from her fingertips, and gently fanned it up in a gust of wind and hung it on the ground.
"The real enemy, how can he use such stupid subordinates to not even act well. โ
Speaking of this, Yu Qinglian glanced at Liang Yansheng and smiled.
"You're a lot better in comparison. โ
The sudden compliment made Liang Yansheng scratch his head embarrassedly, but his doubts at this time deepened.
"If that palace maid is not a spy, then who is it? And why did they eavesdrop on our conversation, and how did they know that you would talk to me? Coupled with the uncertainty of time, it is simply impossible to arrange eavesdropping in advance!"
"Your question is right, if you want to make this center the most fortified place in the whole of Kyushu, it is simply impossible to infiltrate people here, let alone carry out a plan here that is full of uncertainties. โ
Yu Qinglian held on to the railing and told Liang Yansheng all the information he had, his tone serious and heavy.
"But, if you think about it, it's hard to grasp our information inside the Imperial City, but what about outside the Imperial City, and if the infiltration force doesn't work, then what about the corruption inside - even some people who seem to be friends may actually be enemies. In this case, it seems that there is no difficulty in doing those things, not to mention that the enemy has the means to reach the sky. However, fortunately, I have already sent my men to investigate, hoping to eliminate the hidden dangers in the base camp as much as possible. โ
These words reached Liang Yansheng's ears, making his mood become depressed. Just one sentence gave him a shadow of the horror of the enemy.
"So, why are they so interested in me?"
"Not to you, but to the prince of Liang State. โ
Yu Qinglian stopped and looked at Liang Yansheng, this was the first time they looked at each other. Immediately after, she said word by word.
"The changes in the Liang Kingdom back then seem to have another hidden story. โ
