Chapter 70: First Sight of the East Factory
Boom –
Before the giant bear could react, Chen Xiangbei's yang finger was pointed at its heavenly spirit.
True qi penetrated the body, and the giant bear's entire head exploded in an instant.
Fortunately, Chen Xiangbei had expected it, and with a flick of his true qi sleeve, he swept the splashed blood into his sleeve.
Hair extensions!
Throwing the gore aside, this is the only way to avoid the smell of being full of fish.
The giant bear's mountain-like body shook a few times and fell to the ground with a thud.
Chen Xiangbei took a deep breath and restrained his true qi.
After the I Ching cleansed the marrow, he became more and more comfortable in manipulating his true qi, which was a good sign.
Immediately, he approached the bear, intending to take its flesh and sell it back on the black market.
The air was filled with the smell of blood, and blood kept pouring out of the gap in the giant bear's blasted head, like a trickling stream.
Just as Chen Xiangbei took out the dagger, his left hand suddenly spread out uncontrollably, and the three thousand red threads that penetrated deep into the entire arm were unexpectedly scarlet light, like blood vessels attached to the surface of the flesh.
They smell blood and wake up from their slumber.
Countless slender strands of scarlet hair stretched out from Chen Xiangbei's arm, like steel needles piercing into the giant bear's body, and then began to squirm continuously, actually devouring the giant bear's blood frantically
The next moment.
The blood that flowed from the bear's wound came to an abrupt end, and the entire bear's corpse dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Meanwhile.
Chen Xiangbei felt that the true qi was pouring into his body.
I never imagined that these three thousand red silks would still be of such use.
He can devour blood and turn it into pure true qi to feed himself.
Where is this Dao weapon, it's clearly an artifact!
At this moment, Chen Xiangbei looked at this Zhongshen Mountain excitedly, as if he saw another fresh leek in the shadows!
After sucking up the giant bear's blood donation, Chen Xiangbei came to the corpse of the hungry wolf again, and quickly sucked it dry while its blood was not cold.
In the end, Chen Xiangbei's gaze fell on the corpse of the white tiger whose chest was torn open by the giant bear.
When he approached and was about to start, the three thousand red silk suddenly dimmed, and the initial scarlet slowly transformed into black, and finally seeped into Chen Xiangbei's flesh and blood again.
"What's going on? Could it be that too much blood is devoured at one time? Can't digest it? ”
Thinking about it, if he can continue to devour endlessly, what else is he still cultivating?
Moreover, at this time, the sea of qi in his body was already full to the limit, and he was afraid that it would backfire if he inhaled it again.
Then, after nearly three or four hours, Chen Xiangbei came down the mountain.
In addition to the alchemy materials, I also harvested a bear bile, a tiger whip and a pair of wolf teeth, in addition to a lot of fresh meat, bones and other leftovers from foreign beasts.
Chen Xiangbei wanted to peel off the fur of the three alien beasts and take them away, but the bamboo basket couldn't be stuffed at all, so he had to give up.
Back in the hut of the prison fence, he processed the alchemy materials and the flesh and bones of the alien beast, changed his clothes, and was about to cook a piece of tiger meat to taste it to see if it really had the effect of nourishing the body and improving cultivation.
There was a knock on the door outside.
Knock Knock Knock –
Chen Xiangbei thought that Xiaobeizi had won the qualification to set up a stall in the black market, and came to report the good news.
Unexpectedly, when I opened the door, it was a eunuch dressed in a flying fish suit, followed by several figures in the same costume.
East Factory?
Chen Xiangbei's heart moved slightly, thinking of the eunuchs in flying fish suits in the film and television dramas of his previous life.
Can't be wrong, these should be the people of Dongchang.
As a spy agency directly controlled by the emperor, Dongchang has the right to be above 10,000 people under one person.
Chop first, then play, imperial privilege!
Even the famous Jinyiwei is also under the control of the East Factory.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Chen Xiangbei learned that the eunuch headed by him was named Liu Shi, who belonged to a deacon under the command of Dongchang, which was equivalent to the role of a small leader.
The reason why they came so late was because of Zhao Chengyi's matter.
"Xiao Chenzi, there are many people here, let's go with us."
Then Liu Shi turned his head and left, but the several flying fish-robed eunuchs behind him did not move an inch, as if urging Chen Xiangbei to move.
Chen Xiangbei is not surprised, Zhao Chengyi's matter is very important, even if he is caught red-handed, he will have to go through layers of verification before the coffin will be conclusive.
This is equivalent to assisting in the investigation, and it is not a big problem.
Soon, he followed Liu Shi to the place where all the eunuchs flocked to Dongchang.
This place is not much different from the ordinary imperial city palace, but the guards are exceptionally strict, not only guarded by the forbidden army themselves, but also the flying fish-robed eunuchs who are responsible for patrolling the interior of the East Factory.
After entering the factory, Liu Shi did not take Chen Xiangbei to go deeper, but opened the door of a house in the compound of the East Factory.
There are three big characters written on it, Discipline Room.
That is, the modern interrogation room.
After Liu Shi entered, he lit the oil lamp and asked the other eunuchs of Dongchang to guard the door, and only Chen Xiangbei entered alone.
After both sides sat down, Liu Shi went straight to the point.
"Xiao Chenzi, last night Li Guifei asked you to send Mrs. Lin out of the palace, you said that when you chased out, Mrs. Lin was gone? True? ”
Liu Shi crossed his hands under his nose and stared at Chen Xiangbei's eyes, noticing any slight changes.
Chen Xiangbei behaved very naturally: "Yes, when I chased out, Mrs. Lin was gone. ”
Liu Shi narrowed his eyes slightly, and then asked: "At the same time, there are hundreds of people in the civil and military families who leave the palace, how can you be so sure that Mrs. Lin is not among them?" ”
Chen Xiangbei replied fluently: "I also had the same doubts as Gonggong Liu at first, at the end of the palace banquet, Mrs. Lin was delayed for some time because of saying goodbye to Concubine Li.
So when I left, the other court ladies had already walked away, and most of them could only walk behind the crowd, but when I followed out, I found that I didn't see Mrs. Lin's figure at all.
I followed the other court wives for a while, and I didn't find Mrs. Lin among them, so I hurried back to Kunning Palace to report to my mother. ”
Liu Shi listened carefully to Chen Xiangbei's explanation, found that there was no problem in it, and then asked: "Did you find any suspicious people on the way?" ”
Chen Xiangbei shook his head and said, "I didn't find it." ”
Liu Shi asked again: "Is there anything that Li Guifei and the four princes don't deal with on weekdays?" ”
Chen Xiangbei still shook his head and said: "Gonggong Liu, where are we clear about the master's affairs. ”
Liu Shi was silent for a moment, and then launched a new question, but this question made Chen Xiangbei instantly raise his heart to his throat: "I heard that Huaqing Palace dealt with a steward eunuch, and it was personally instructed by Concubine Li Guifei, what did he do?" ”
Chen Xiangbei calmed down and replied calmly: "Although I am in charge of affairs with him, everyone is acting at the behest of Concubine Li, and I really don't know why Concubine Li dealt with him. ”
