Chapter 1349: The King's Invitation
"Take it?" The owner of the Red House was a little surprised, "What kind of black cavalry will take care of these things?" β
"I've never seen a pure black standard light armor, the material is good, and it doesn't reflect at night." The tall and thin man is the demon puppet master who appeared in the Green Mountain Villa a few days ago, "Everyone wears masks, and they are very powerful." β
"Black cavalry in a mask?" The owner of Honglu thought for a while, "Is the leader wearing a dragon head mask?" β
The tall and thin man was surprised: "Ah, yes! β
How do you know "...... you"? He was about to blurt out subconsciously, but changed the content at the last second, "You are so wise!" β
The owner of the red house groaned: "Where is the power that has emerged?" Recently, this team of black-armored cavalry has been very active. You go on to say. β
He also keeps an eye on the changes that are taking place in the nearby area.
The black-armored cavalry is a new force, which has come and gone without a trace, and the owner of the Red House is also very interested.
"They first ossified your scorpion python, then ......"
The tall and lanky man described the battle he had seen.
"So, how did the other two demon golems get caught, didn't you see it?"
"The subordinates are incompetent." The two-headed demon golem is driven to the cliff behind the Green Mountain Villa. Obscured by the trees, he could not see the scene of the battle. "By the time my rosemary bee arrives to keep watch, the battle there is over."
He was even more ashamed: "The other party and the other party also found out the position of their subordinates, and their subordinates had to throw themselves into the water and escape." β
Otherwise, it would be easy for the black-armored cavalry to kill the owner of the Green Villa, wouldn't it be easier and more comfortable to take down him, a lone demon puppeteer?
"Where's Xiao An?"
"I could sense where she was in the northern part of the lodge. At that time, the black-armored cavalry also chased Wu Ma Dan to the North Courtyard, but scared Xiao An away and disappeared again. The tall and thin man whispered, "I tracked the three-headed demon golem all the way, but the other party was extremely fast. Thirty miles north is ......"
"Just lost?"
The tall and thin man hung his head: "Yes." β
He was able to track his own golems, but this sense failed shortly after chasing them out.
"Either the other party blocks your tracking spell, or you go to a place where the spell can't work." The master of the red house stared at him coldly, "All in all, you have failed this trip!" β
The tall and thin man was dripping in cold sweat and did not dare to make a sound.
After a while, the owner of the red house asked him, "What else do you have to report?" β
If not, you will be fined. The tall and thin man hurriedly said, "Also, there are two more things. The day after Xiao An escaped, a statue of a dragon head suddenly appeared on the high wall of the gatehouse of Green Villa. When the subordinates returned to inspect it, they found it, and they heard the people in the village also discuss. β
"There are visions everywhere I pass, and sure enough, the pomp is not small." The owner of the red house snorted slightly, "What else?" β
"Pei Guo offered a reward for Xiao An near Chenjiazhuang, saying that she was an eyewitness to an important murder." The tall and thin man whispered, "She was picked up in Chenjiazhuang before. β
"A lot of people died in Chenjiazhuang?" The master of the red house looked deeply, "You didn't control the demon puppet well?" β
The man muttered: "Yes, there are some casualties. β
"More than 100 people died in Zhuangzi, which is less than 1,000 people, is this called 'some'?"
It turns out that adults already know! The tall and thin man's face turned even paler: "They, they go crazy when they see blood, it's really hard to restrain them!" β
He commanded the demon puppets to track Xiao An, but when these things smelled of people, they moved their index fingers, and the people of Chenjiazhuang began to resist again, further arousing the ferocity of the demon puppets.
Then, things got out of hand.
If he wants the demon puppet to restrain his ferocity and refine a higher demon puppet, he can't do it with his ability.
"You're saying that what I made is flawed and doesn't work?"
"No, no, it's the incompetence of the subordinates, and the incompetence of the subordinates!"
"Insect golems are more irritable and act more instinctively, I warned you a long time ago." The tone of the owner of the red house changed to Sen Han, "Xiao An must not be exposed to the public eye again!" But now Pei Guo's officials are starting to look for her, but I'm afraid that someone with a heart will make some associations. You've caused me so much trouble. β
"Damn it!" The tall and thin man nodded his head to the ground, and his mouth was bitter, "Your Excellency forgives your sins, your Excellency forgives your sins!" The subordinates will definitely find Xiao An! β
The owner of the red house should not, just waved his hand.
The guards on both sides stepped forward and dragged the tall and thin man out.
His pleading voice was inaudible after the box door closed.
"Someone."
Immediately, someone on the side came out and crouched in front of the desk.
"Liuxian County has posted a notice offering a reward for Xiao'an, but whenever there is news in ten miles and eight townships, the local competent officials should always know." The owner of Honglu said, "You go to Pei Country for me, visit two people and ask." β
"Yes!"
β¦β¦
Two days later, Fan Shuang, the special envoy of the Yao Kingdom, came to visit.
This time he not only came by himself, but also brought four or five companions, ranging in age from their twenties to forties.
After Fan Shuang's enthusiastic introduction, He Lingchuan knew that these were the second generation of officials and businessmen of the Yao Kingdom, who came to get to know the owner of Yangshan Island.
Several cooperation agreements negotiated between Yangshan and Ya Guoxin will be handled by them in the future.
So this is a gathering of old friends and new friends, everyone first mixes faces, and then they can open their hearts and do business.
He Lingchuan didn't want to take them to the hometown meeting, so he opened a table in the box of the Zhuyin Tavern.
Fan Shuang asked He Lingchuan to go to the river first and took a step to speak, but Wan Qifeng and several other guards followed suit and took strict precautions.
He Lingchuan waved them all back before saying, "Brother Fan, don't blame, after Marshal Situ had an accident, my subordinates stared at me very closely. β
"What's weird? Such loyal men are not too many to give me ten dozen. The smile on Fan Shuang's face was fleeting, "Speaking of the murder of Marshal Situ, my king was also deeply shocked, and sent condolences to Situ Mansion yesterday. β
He Lingchuan looked at him, smiled and said nothing.
Of course, this kind of thing can't be admitted.
"Brother He, what kind of expression is this?" Fan Shuang said, "Marshal Situ was killed, it really has nothing to do with our country, and our country has already made a clarification to the Situ family." β
"How dare I accuse?" He Lingchuan shook his head, "But this area is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and even Marshal Situ can be killed by a master who doesn't know the origin, which is really beyond my imagination." β
"Yes, Marshal Situ has passed away, and I don't know what the situation here is going." Fan Shuang came with a mission on his back today, and changed the topic with a light cough, "Brother He, the treasure armor you brought last time has a great origin. β
"Which royal relative left it?" The royal emblem on the armor is not something that commoners and nobles dare to use.
"I brought it back and presented it to the king, and the palace quickly recognized that it was an object in the palace of a certain prince. His son led a team to sail by boat, but there was no news as soon as he went, and there were different opinions in the country. Fan Shuang said in a low voice, "Unexpectedly, he encountered a hurricane in the Yangshan Sea. Alas, fate is determined by heaven. β
"I see." He Lingchuan noticed that he was vague about cause and effect, and didn't even mention which prince's son it was.
What can't be said about this?
"These relics have been returned to the family?"
Fan Shuang said twice, and then asked, "Brother He, are there any other relics that accompany the ship?" β
He Lingchuan opened his mouth and replied, "Other relics? No, I don't. The ship was smashed to pieces by the reef, and if there was anything, it would have been buried at the bottom of the sea, right? β
There was a lot of treasure on those ships, and he wouldn't have contributed it.
The shipwrecks in the Yangshan Sea and the relics in the Yangshan Sea are, of course, owned by the island owner.
"Ah, I mean, little things, like seals and seals." Fan Shuang reminded, "It's worthless to outsiders, but it's useful to us." Brother He, think about it again? β
"The seal?" He Lingchuan stroked his chin, closed his eyes and pondered, "Hmm-"
Yes, it does. Along with the armor and treasure, there are also some herbs and a few seals.
After the country gets back the treasure armor, do you still want this back?
"To be honest, there are an astonishing number of shipwrecked relics salvaged from the Yangshan Islands over the years, and there are hundreds of them alone, I don't know if there are any of them you need." He Lingchuan asked him, "What words are engraved on the chapter?" β
"Qinghong Baochuan."
"Okay, I'll send it to Yangshan tomorrow morning to inquire."
Fan Shuang thanked him, and then said to He Lingchuan: "Yangshan has more and more frequent contacts with our country, and Brother He has found important lost property for us.
He straightened his waist, took out a gold-plated letter from his arms, and handed it over with both hands: "ββOn the fifty-ninth birthday of my king, He Lingchuan is specially invited to attend the ceremony!" β
He Lingchuan was moved, and it was difficult to take it for a while.
The king has no idea about his life, and he also knows that he is not a person at all in the eyes of the king, why would the other party directly invite him to the banquet?
There are many levels of state banquet viewing, most officials can only stand below and watch, princes, nobles, able ministers and specially invited guests of the king, only then can they be treated as banquets.
To put it simply, ordinary officials can only stand at the bottom, and only a few can sit at the top.
Fan Shuangzhen said: "Brother He, this is a great honor, it's hard to refuse." β
On the Shining Gold Plain, it was a great honor to receive an invitation from the King of the Princess, and it was hard for him to imagine that someone would push it out.
If he can seize this opportunity, he is willing to break the first mile.
He Lingchuan smiled bitterly: "I have never made great contributions to the country, how can I enjoy such an honor?" β
Originally, he only wanted to ask someone to give gifts, and he didn't want to celebrate his birthday in person.
"Brother He, don't shirk, my king has repeatedly asked me to tell him that his old man has high hopes for the bilateral relationship between the country and Yangshan."
On the other hand, if He Lingchuan refuses to go if he doesn't appreciate his face, he will destroy this relationship that has been built up with great difficulty.
Is this going to force the ox head to drink water? He Lingchuan laughed: "My concerns, Brother Fan should know best." Actually, I have another concern. β
So, he told Fan Shuang about the rudder crash of the two rudders dispatched to the Yangshan Islands in the country.
When Fan Shuang heard this, she was really shocked: "There is such a thing?" β
He has been away from the country for a long time, and he may not know what is happening in his homeland; Besides, Xiancheng and Xia Lin are not important towns in the country, how can Fan Shuang know everything about what happened there?
He didn't know, and the king probably didn't either.
Even the king of the Yak can't be omniscient and omnipotent on his own turf.
