At this time, the lantern watchman came to report:

"Prince Chiyan has arrived, and he is already waiting outside the building."

The Demon Emperor paced back again, looking out of the sky, the night was already deep:

"Pass him in."

……

Before the sun set, the civilians of Lingxu City returned home one after another, so the main road and deer carts ushered in the peak period of passenger traffic.

There is a rule in the city that only horses (barges) carts, deer carts and monsters are allowed to pass on the main street during the Mao and Shen hours, that is, one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening, so as to avoid traffic congestion.

Those who can ride in chariots and beasts are either rich or expensive. To put it bluntly, civilians are restricted from traveling by private car during these two periods, and they can only take public transportation.

The deer cart He Lingchuan was riding in was stuffed with forty people, not to mention the seats, and there was not even a place to stay. Next to him was an aunt of equal length and width, with her head buried directly in his chest.

The happiness of being intimate with everyone at the evening rush hour in the previous life has returned.

The main road was full of cars and horses, and the deer carts could only stop and go.

In total, it was ten miles away, and it was bumpy for most of the hour. He Lingchuan finally arrived at the station, and squeezed out of the deer cart with great effort.

The aunt behind her looked a little confused.

After walking for another quarter of an hour and asking three passers-by, He Lingchuan finally arrived at his destination.

He looked up at the shop sign in front of him:

Songyang Province.

The façade of this rudder is larger and more glamorous than the general rudder of Songyang Mansion in Shihuan City, Kite Kingdom. After all, in the prosperous capital of the world, the higher the pomp and compulsion, the higher the status of the guests attracted.

Entering from the eight doors on the opposite side, the two-zhang high shadow wall is carved with a map of the Wolong River, the waterfall can flow, the crane bird can fly, the clouds and mist can flow, and the majestic river scenery is condensed into a wall.

The most amazing thing is that it also comes with sound effects.

The waterfall is like thunder, the birds are clear, although the cycle repeats, but there is a sound that can attract people.

Many first-time pedestrians stop to watch.

Songyang Mansion puts the craftsmanship of the house here, which is better than the guys soliciting customers outside.

He Lingchuan admired the huge shadow wall, and as soon as he walked to the back, the eyes of prying eyes from outside were blocked, if there was any.

The guy greeted him with a smile: "The guest officer is here for the first time, and I will introduce you to you?" ”

There were not many customers in the store, He Lingchuan showed his fangs and short knife, and put it on the table under the vigilant gaze of the guy: "This is a knife that Songyang Mansion ordered for me, blunt." I heard that the maker is here, so I came to sharpen the knife. ”

The guy looked at the fanged dagger: "Which master's masterpiece is this?" ”

He Lingchuan smiled: "If you take it to the back, someone will naturally recognize it." ”

The guy will be suspicious, or leave with a knife.

He Lingchuan was walking around the store, but he was actually secretly paying attention to the door.

Several guests came in one after another, and none of them looked like spies.

After about a dozen breaths, the guy hurried back, and the smile on his face became more courteous: "Distinguished guest, please come with me!" ”

This rudder is also sold in the front, identified in the middle, and the workshop area is in the back.

It's just that the front area is the largest, and the middle and back areas are smaller than Shihuan City, that is, the door face is beautiful, but the back is not so spacious.

After all, this is the main urban area of Lingxu Lower City, and the rent of this store for two or three days is enough for He Chunhua's family of four for an entire month.

He Lingchuan walked up to the second floor of the workshop and saw Li Qingge.

She wore a plain shirt and a pink gown, which just matched the fiery five-leaf brocade outside the window.

Whether it is a person in the painting or a painting next to a person, He Lingchuan couldn't tell for a while.

The guy hurried away.

Li Qingge smiled: "Come on, come on, please sit down!" ”

He Lingchuan sat down and saw a cup of red and bright drinks on the table, the color was like blood.

"Is this for me, or is it for Fushiyama Yue?"

"You don't like pomegranate juice?" Li Qingge didn't know where to grab half a pomegranate and shook it at him, "This season, the pomegranates in Lingxu City are the sweetest and redtest. ”

Indeed, the pomegranate seeds in her hands were red and purple.

By the way, her pretty face is also white and red.

He Lingchuan saw her open a paper bag and pour the pale yellow powder inside into the cup.

This?

He almost looked straight in the eye: "You're going to add ingredients to my face?" "Don't you bother to hide it?

"What do you think?" Li Qingge chuckled, "This is orange powder, add it to add more flavor." Do you taste it? ”

What juice do men drink? He Lingchuan still picked it up and took a sip: "Mm-huh, okay." "It's so sweet, I don't like it.

"How are the lords and Shi Er okay?"

He and Li Qingge and Shi Er's family were separated from Tai'an City in Chiyan Kingdom, and the two groups of people continued to march towards Lingxu City, and he went to investigate the case for Fushan Yue.

"It's very good, sure enough, after separating from you, the road will be calm."

When she came to such a conclusion, He Lingchuan could only smile bitterly.

It seems to be true.

"Shi Er's master is still in Lingxu City, have you seen him?"

He Lingchuan shook his head: "Not yet." ”

"Do you want me to tell me?"

"No, I don't. It's better for him not to get involved in my business now. "Shi Er's master knows part of He Lingchuan's origins, and now he is being watched closely by Bai Ziqi, it would be bad if Shi Er was touched by Shunteng.

He Lingchuan took out a small cloud brocade flag from the storage ring: "In a few days, please hand over this flag to Shi Er, and he will naturally understand." ”

When he left the Demon Nest Swamp and looked for a caravan to go to Lingxu City, he agreed with the Shimen Chamber of Commerce that when he arrived in Lingxu City, he would hand over Zhu Erniang's pass to them. From now on, the Shimen Chamber of Commerce can pass through the Devil's Nest Swamp and act as an agent for the unique business of the Crypt Spider.

However, there were many changes along the way, and He Lingchuan even separated from the Shimen caravan in Tai'an Town, Chiyan Kingdom. Now that others are already in Lingxu City, they are about to complete the agreement with the Shimen Chamber of Commerce.

Li Qingge didn't ask much, took the flag and put it away, and sighed: "Are you afraid of troublesome Shi Er, aren't you afraid of troublesome me?" ”

He Lingchuan said with a smile: "Songyang Mansion has a façade here, and I'm here to buy something." ”

Li Qingge kept looking at him: "I have also heard of He Dashao's actions in Baisha. ”

"So fast?" He Lingchuan was very pleased. This is not the country of kites, but Li Qingge's news is still very well-informed.

For him, who is not familiar with life, this is a good thing.

"Zhongsun Mou disappeared in Baisha, Da Si Nong's son-in-law was arrested, and Qingfu Temple was burned to the ground, and it has spread on Lingxu City in the past few days." Li Qingge smiled, "Tell me, are these things related?" ”

"Yes." He Lingchuan didn't expand it to elaborate, "How much do you know about the details of Zhongsun Mou's disappearance?" ”

"What I heard is that Zhongsun Mou was robbed by a monster in Baisha, and that monster is Cen Boqing's subordinate."

"What else?" He Lingchuan nodded to himself, "Did you mention me?" ”

"Uh-no." Li Qingge thought for a while, "What I heard is that Zhongsun Mou wanted to deal with this case as a spy case, but was obstructed by Prince Chiyan in every way. As for you, you're invisible. ”

What kind of character is He Lingchuan, and how can he be qualified to be placed on the gossip table of Lingxu City?

"If you want me to say, it's a good thing for you." The whirlpool of the imperial capital, ordinary people should stay away.

"Where did you get this news?"

"Everyone knows it." Li Qingge was amused, "What, you still want to inquire about my source?" ”

He Dashao has always been a very interesting person.

"There are always many versions of the rumors." Especially such a big melon.

Li Qingge is meaningful: "From beginning to end, I have only heard this one statement. ”

"Then maybe someone deliberately spreads it, and then it will be unified."

"Who knows?" Li Qingge adjusted his sitting posture to be more lazy.

"In this way, the Zhongsun family may not know that there is such a person as me?"

"It's hard to say. Didn't Zhongsun Mou take his attendants to Baisha? ”

"Yes."

"If these attendants return to Lingxu City, there will be nothing to hide from your and Zhongsun Mou's festival." Li Qingge picked out a pomegranate seed and put it in his mouth, "Are you afraid that they will trouble you?" ”

"I'd like to ask the lord for a favor." He Lingchuan smiled, "Let them know that I have arrived in Lingxu City. ”

Li Qingge's cheeks paused, and his eyes were a little surprised.

He Lingchuan's answer was really unexpected by her.

"You still want to inform them?"

Zhongsun's family is in Lingxu City, and he still has some roots.

"yes." He Lingchuan asked her, "Wouldn't it be very difficult?" ”

"It can be done, but in the process of messaging, there may be others who know."

He Lingchuan frowned.

Li Qingge thought that he felt embarrassed, but He Lingchuan then slapped his hands and smiled: "Wonderful, the lord reminded him wonderfully!" The best Lingxu City is known to everyone! Why didn't I think of that? ”

If you want to make a fuss, make a big fuss.

Li Qingge put down the pomegranate and said, "Da Shao, it's dangerous to play with fire." ”

"I've long been in a crisis, and taking a step back is the abyss." He Lingchuan also restrained his smile, "The more public this matter is, the more people know about me, the safer I am." ”

He thought about it again: "What is Zhongsun Mou's reputation in Lingxu City?" ”

Li Qingge covered his mouth and smiled: "His great-grandfather Zhongsun Chi is still very famous, and in his early years, he also persuaded two water tribes for Beijia, which greatly increased the underwater power of Lingxu City. But when it comes to Zhongsun Mou's generation, he is just a child of an ordinary official family, and he is not outstanding. ”

A fishman swimming in the water, named "Chi", He Lingchuan found it really interesting.

"Zhongsun Mou was also appointed as an inspector." He Lingchuan didn't know enough about the official system of the Lingxu Kingdom, but when he saw that Zhongsun Mou was holding this title, even Fu Shanyue didn't dare to kill him easily.

If it weren't for Mai Xuewen, a fugitive, to make a move, Zhongsun Mou would actually be able to walk sideways in Baisha.

"If a child of an official family wants to be an official, how can he do it without a resume?" Li Qingge's study of Lingxu City is quite in-depth, "If it was placed three or four hundred years ago, the inspection envoy must have been the emperor's confidant or supervision envoy, who would go down to inspect the place, observe the people's feelings, and test the policy program, so as not to blind the bureaucracy; But the greater the power of the Inspector and the more disputes he intervened in, the more uneasy the Emperor was about it. To this day, the Inspector is only a fictitious title, and the emperor has long used other means to inspect the place. ”
