Chapter Twenty-Nine: Zhong Liang's Plea
Qin Yi pulled Sun Fei into his car, found a hot pot restaurant in Dongcheng District, and the four of them sat together eating and chatting.
Although Sun Fei was very curious about Ke'er and Fan Xiaoying along the way, he didn't ask too much.
"Fourth, did I get into trouble just now? I heard that the Jinghu Hotel ......"
"It's okay, I forgot to tell you, your brother and sister, the one next to me is the deputy director of the Beijing-Shanghai Public Security Bureau, and she will arrange it."
Qin Yi smiled and introduced Fan Xiaoying to Sun Fei.
"Okay, fourth, it's a good mix, then I owe you today."
"No need to do this, boss, it's just a small thing."
"Well, it's brother, I won't say much, let's drink."
Sun Fei really understands that Li Yan is not his thing, and he doesn't like her snobbish woman. The two drank for an hour, Sun Fei was rare not drunk, he said that he would go back to clean up and prepare to go home early tomorrow morning to see, after all, he didn't go home for the whole Spring Festival.
Qin Yi didn't stop him, and asked Ke'er to drive Sun Fei, and he took Fan Xiaoying to walk on the road casually.
"Qin Yi, tonight's incident won't cause trouble to Sun Fei, right? We don't care. ”
"No, Director Li is here tonight, he should be able to handle it, that's a good person, hehe."
The three of them returned to Beijing-Shanghai B, and Fan Xiaohan was losing his temper;
"Stinky Qin Yi, bad Qin Yi, you don't take me when you go out to play. Hum! ”
Qin Yi and Fan Xiaoying snickered and began to put things on the table: pizza, fruit scoop, milk tea, egg tarts, honey chicken, Zhuge grilled fish.......
"Oh yes, long live Qin Yi, let's eat!"
"Xiaohan, you eat less, Ke'er and I haven't eaten yet!"

The matter of the Beijing-Shanghai Hotel, as Qin Yi expected, there were no rumors, and Qin Yi was rarely clean for a few days.
On the morning of the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Qin Yi and the others had just finished breakfast, and Liu Donghai, who had disappeared for a month, appeared again and came to visit Qin Yi.
However, he didn't come alone this time, and Zhong Liang, another minister of the Xuanzhan Department, was an old acquaintance, and Qin Yi remembered it very clearly.
The three of them sat on the first floor of Qin Yi's villa and drank tea.
"Senior, I see that you seem to have a potted plant in this yard, I'll turn around ......"
"If you have something to say, just say it, Team Leader Liu."
Qin Yi glanced at Liu Donghai, every time this guy comes to him, it must be nothing good. Oh, no, Kerr didn't count that time.
Liu Donghai smiled awkwardly, he was not angry, he knew Qin Yi's temper.
"That's right, senior, our Xuanzhan Department received news that a few days ago, a wave of overseas cultivators secretly entered Qinghe Province, a central and western province of the alliance, from the border in the southwest of the alliance. Later, our men found the camp left behind by the other party, which contained a map and some diving equipment. ”
"Later, after visiting and investigating, I found a strange thing, in the past 10 years, the freezing period of Dongyue Lake has become longer and longer, from the previous 7 months to about 8 months, and this time is still increasing. Now it seems that the arrival of those overseas cultivators may have something to do with these things. ”
"Lakes, ice periods, scuba gear? Are they looking for something at the bottom of the lake? ”
"We think so too. This time, the Xuan War Department sent me to lead a team to Dongyue Lake to deal with this matter, and I wanted to ask my seniors if they were interested. If the seniors are willing to go together, all the personal income of the seniors on this trip can be owned by the seniors. ”
Zhong Liang also expressed his bitterness:
"I don't dare to expire my seniors. According to the news from our people, the number of the cultivator team is about 13-15 people, and the highest cultivation should have about 5 layers of innateness, and I really don't have the bottom. ”
Qin Yi looked at Zhong Liang and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Let me ask you a question, your minister should be a five-layer cultivator in two days, why didn't he personally lead the team over?"
This time, Liu Donghai didn't play tricks, and directly answered Qin Yi's question.
"Senior, firstly, there are too many facts that the alliance has lost to the Xuanzhan Department recently, and coming to Kyoto City is the top priority, and the minister does not dare to leave casually, and the third point is that the minister is impacting the 6th layer of the innate nature, and he has not left Kyoto."
Zhong Liang glanced at Liu Donghai and didn't say anything, he was about to say it, but he was still a little hesitant before Liu Donghai took the lead.
"Okay, I'll take a ride with you."
"By the way, after I left, Team Leader Liu remembered to help me take care of my home. Notify me as soon as there is any situation. ”
"Understand, don't worry, senior, I'll stay in the office and won't go anywhere."

Qin Yi found Fan Xiaoying, briefly told her about the situation, and explained that Fan Xiaoying must pay attention to safety, and if there is something to do, he can go directly to the Xuanzhan Department opposite to find Liu Donghai, and he will deal with it.
Under normal circumstances, the Beijing and Shanghai markets should be relatively safe, but some unexpected situations cannot be ruled out.
After repeatedly telling Fan Xiaoying, Qin Yi took Ke'er, who was carrying the Qinglan Ancient Sword, and followed Zhong Liang on a special plane to Dongyue Lake in Qinghe Province.
Dongyue Lake is located in the south-central part of Qinghe Province, with an average altitude of 4,500 meters and a total area of about 600 square kilometers, and is the largest freshwater lake in the upper reaches of Dayu River, the second largest river in the alliance.
Because the water is formed from the upstream through the two mountains, the bottom of the lake is mostly sand and gravel, so the water is very clean and blue all year round, and the lake is rich in a variety of fish. One of the most famous fish is the blue ice fish, which is 20 to 40 centimeters long, scaleless and spineless, tender and high in protein, and is highly respected by many of the league's wealthy.
It's just that the blue ice fish is light blue all over, almost mixed with the lake water, it is difficult to find if you don't pay attention to it, and the temperature of the Dongyue Lake is below minus five degrees all year round, the lake surface is in the freezing period for at least seven months every year, and it is sparsely populated within 100 kilometers nearby, so the production of the blue ice fish is extremely low, which is also its market price has been high, and the most expensive time can even be sold for thousands of yuan a catty, and the price is not in the market, and the supply exceeds demand.
There is also a legend about Dongyue Lake in Qinghe Province.
It is said that more than 80 years ago, Qinghe Province suffered a rare cold wave that is rare in a century, the temperature once reached minus 20 degrees, all the rivers and lakes in Qinghe Province were deeply frozen, and countless people froze to death and starved to death that year.
Just when people were in complete despair, a mysterious creature with huge horns suddenly broke through the ice of Winter Moon Lake, and then an endless stream of fish was thrown onto the shore, and the surface of the lake immediately thawed, finally allowing people to survive the difficult time.
Later, in order to express their worship of this mysterious horned creature, a huge horn totem was built on the mountain peak on the west bank of Dongyue Lake. Every year when the lake thaws, people in the vicinity will catch a large number of fish from the lake and come to the horn totem to hold sacrifices.
This is also one of the most important tourism and cultural activities in Qinghe Province, and every year many travel enthusiasts from all over the alliance rush to the Horn Totem very early to wait for the start of the sacrificial activities.
