Chapter 488: Eating Chicken Today
The prince's envoy, wasn't he sent by the king's father and son? Why should such a question be asked to him?
Jiao Yu said on the side: "The envoy has just arrived in our country, and many of the inside information is unknown."
The connotation of these words was deep, Xiang Yan couldn't make a sound for a while, and his stomach was all about solving the mystery.
He Lingchuan said with a smile: "I'm not from Chiyan, it's better to have more than one thing, but Fu Shanyue begged me to handle this case."
Gazing at the rocks.
The prince actually appointed a foreigner as a special envoy to investigate the case, this and this, this case is very deep.
After a long time, he said, "In the whole world, only Lingxu City can refine the elixir."
"So the elixir in the hands of the demon kings was also given by Lingxu City?" He Lingchuan understood, "They will give it to their subordinates again?"
Xiang Yan nodded.
"So where did this refining ingredient come from?" He Lingchuan said before he could speak, "Xiang Lao has been in Lingxu City for more than ten years, he must have heard some rumors, right?"
Xiang Yan opened his mouth, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "How can this be spread nonsense? Once the source of the rumor is found, it will be killed."
"Haven't you heard the slightest rumor?"
"I've only heard that some of the ingredients for elixir are bought from abroad. I really don't know." Xiang Yan whispered, "An elixir like a treasure is very precious even in Lingxu City, and only a few officials can enjoy it; I was fortunate enough to take it because I was appreciated by the gods for my meritorious service back then, otherwise I would never have had such a blessing. Just ask Master Jiao, how many people have eaten the elixir?"
He Lingchuan looked at Jiao Yu, who shook his head and said, "In the past hundred years, the monarch has only given thirty-nine."
In the more than 160 years since the founding of the country, how many officials have there been in the Chiyan State? Of those, only 39 had taken the elixir.
Needless to say, this drug is precious.
No wonder the old man looked smug. To be fortunate enough to take the elixir of life, ranked in one in thirty-nine, what a great honor!
"Why so few?"
"I heard that medicinal herbs are rare."
He Lingchuan remembered what Helian Chen, the Great Dan Master of Panlong City, said, the elixir has an extremely precious primer: divine blood.
This may not be easy.
But even if other medicinal materials are rare, can't they be obtained with the power of Bega?
Eighty percent still responded to those words:
Odd goods can live.
The effect of the medicine is so good, and the quantity is so small, that those who want it must not break their heads?
He Lingchuan's eyes rolled: "So, who is in the hands of the elixir pill?"
"Naturally, it's a god." Xiang Yan took it for granted with a face, "Lingxu City worships medicinal herbs, and the heavenly gods refine the elixir and give it personally."
He Lingchuan was confused for a while.
If only the gods can refine the elixir, then what is the real culprit behind this case collecting the pulp beads for? Moreover, this does not seem to be the same as what Helian Chen said.
However, Xiang Yan hesitated for a moment, and then said, "However, I also heard a little news in Lingxu City."
He Lingchuan was in high spirits, finally had the inside story of the Eight Classics to hear?
"Please speak, please speak."
"I can't tell you the source of the news, but there seems to be such a statement, just a statement."
"Mmmm, it's all groundless, you just say it, I'll listen to it." This old man can really patch.
"It is rumored that the Heavenly God originally ordered the elixir of elixir, but the Lingxu City entrusted it to a non-human, resulting in an outflow. In a fit of rage, the gods withdrew the right to alchemy, and since then, they have only given the pill and are not allowed to refine it in the human world."
He Lingchuan heard this statement for the second time: "What about this Danfang that flowed out?"
"Of course, the emperor will investigate strictly, and set a deadline for surrendering, and if he is found out after the deadline, he will be punished by the nine clans."
He Lingchuan remembered what happened to the descendants of the Yuan Kingdom, and knew that the Bejia Demon Emperor was never soft on killing.
How can such a big demon have any mercy for human life?
"How many people did you kill before and after?"
"I don't know."
"Huh?" He Lingchuan said strangely, "How can you not even know how many people you have killed?"
"Even if the Danfang flows out, there are very few people who are qualified to see it. Then there are also very few people who have been killed by the emperor because of this." Xiang Yan laughed at himself, "A feudal official like me can't touch it in itself."
That's a high-end bureau, and they, the low-level officials, and the officials from the Demon Kingdom, don't even have the qualifications to enter the bureau.
Want to be killed for it? There are no doors.
"During that time, no one was condemned to the Nine Clans?"
"I don't know about this, at least two or three hundred years ago, the old thing itself is just a rumor, and I don't know where to verify the truth or falsehood."
He Lingchuan snorted, "It's easy to flow out."
Xiang Yan was cautious: "Do you think that the current case is related to the Danfang that was lost back then?"
He Lingchuan glanced at him and seemed to smile: "This is what you said, I didn't say it."
Xiang Yan hurriedly waved his hand in a panic: "No, no, no, little old man is just talking nonsense, you haven't heard anything."
"Exactly." He Lingchuan laughed, "I didn't hear anything."
He saw a thin sweat on Xiang Yan's forehead.
"So, what is it like to take the elixir?" It's time for a light-hearted question.
Xiang Yan really relaxed a lot:
"After taking it, the internal effects are immediate, such as lightness of the body, dexterity of legs and feet, improvement of appetite, and healing of old age and illness without medicine. However, the severed hands and feet did not grow back. I've heard that some demon generals have taken elixir and have not been able to heal old wounds."
He Lingchuan nodded. It seems that the effect of elixir is mainly to prolong life.
"There are internal and external effects?"
"The external effect is not obvious." Xiang Yan smiled, "I was fifty-two years old when I took the medicine, and my appearance has hardly changed, and I haven't gone back to 30 years. But in the 30 years since I took the drug, I have almost always looked like I was 52 years old."
It turned out to be a slow-release elixir?
He Lingchuan is now a little familiar with pharmacology, and Ah Luo often roars in the ears of the team members, so he knows that the so-called good medicine is stable and long-lasting, so that the effect of the medicine is mild, continuous, and long-term slow release, which is the most beneficial to the human body.
Not to mention anything else, Emperor Flowing Pulp is this effect, so it is the king of all medicines.
"So it's not accurate to say it's a return to the child?"
"It might be more appropriate to call it the anti-Yan pill and the elixir of life."
He Lingchuan stood up: "Thank you Xiang Lao, this information is very useful, and there is a lot of trouble today."
"It's just gossip from friends, so what's the information? Xiang Yan smiled kindly, "The envoy will stay and eat, right?"
He was originally casually polite, but He Lingchuan happily responded: "Okay, I heard General Ling say that the white-cut chicken in the house is particularly smooth and tender, and there is a unique secret recipe."
"....." Xiang Yan had no choice but to smile more happily, "Come on, come here, please."
What's wrong with that old sheep! It is a sheep that should eat grass, and it is recommended that people eat chickens!

At the same time, the inn where He Lingchuan stayed.
The tenant was not there, and He Lingchuan's room was of course empty.
The door suddenly opened, and a shopkeeper slipped in, glanced around, and made sure that there was no one in the room, and then closed the door lightly with his backhand.
He went straight to the wooden bed.
Fu Shanyue allocated enough funds to the envoy, and the inn where He Lingchuan stayed was also ranked in Baisha, and he booked a room for several days.
There is a hall, a master bedroom, and even a spare guest room, which is also very elegantly furnished. Even the beds for guests are made of rosewood, known as a hundred beds.
As soon as the shopkeeper arrived at the bed, he bent forward and stared wide to find something on the pillow.
"Where's the hair?"
This inn uses soft pillows, and this distinguished guest has been here for several days in a row, how can there be no hair on the pillow?
But no, the shop guy searched for a long time and found nothing.
If you just take the pillow away, I'm afraid it will alarm the guests, and that's not okay.
He walked around the house twice to figure out how to find a way.
Even if you can find the hair loss in other parts of the room, it is useless, and it may not be the guest surnamed He. After all, this is an inn, and this room has received many other guests before.
Only the bedding is a guest and a change.
After all, this is also a high-end inn.
So, how can I get He Lingchuan's exclusive items?
The shopkeeper's eyes still fell on the screen.
Behind that is the toilet.
Or?
It was a very flavorful idea, and it scared the guys themselves.
The inn changes the toilet and pours night incense for the guests every day, and in terms of time, it should be two hours later.
Do?
Don't do it?
He really didn't want to do it, but someone gave too much.
The shopkeeper didn't sway for long, so he walked behind the screen, covered his nose, and opened the toilet lid!
No matter how dirty the work is, as long as you give enough money, someone will always do it.
But he was dumbfounded in the next moment:
The toilet was empty.
No, it should be said that there is nothing dry.
If you want to say that people don't lose their hair when they sleep, that's reasonable.
Doesn't this guest need to go to the toilet all day?
The shopkeeper had a ridiculous idea in his heart:
Could it be that this distinguished guest is always wary of others, and even has to go to the public toilet outside?
What to do?
......
The next day, He Lingchuan went to the government to find the Baisha County Order.
Tian Xian Ling came out with two big black circles, and He Lingchuan was slightly shocked when he saw it: "Tian Xian Ling, what's wrong with this?"
He couldn't sleep for the past few days, and the initiator asked him what was wrong?
"It's okay, the wild cats outside the window have been calling for most of the night." Tian Xian Ling could only endure and yawn in the face of He Lingchuan, so as not to be disrespectful, "What does the envoy have today?"
"There is something to ask Tian County to do, but it must be done quietly."
"Oh?" The Baisha County Commander understands the meaning of "quietly", "Do you want the inspector to know?"
"That's a must." He Lingchuan further said, "It's best that the rest of the people in the city don't know either."
"You say, you say."
"Find a maintenance team."
"Huh?" Tian Xianling was a little confused, and he didn't know if he hadn't slept enough last night, and he felt that he couldn't turn his brain, "Repair what?"
"Tide Lake Tower."
"Oh..... Well, that's the little thing."
"But I still have a request." He Lingchuan whispered two words in his ear, and then said, "Before the construction starts, don't let anyone in the city know, can it be done?"
