Chapter 62: Flaws

"Hmm... That's the only plausible explanation. However, it is impossible to have such a deep hole in the post house, and it happens to be where the gifts of the Dongchang Empire are stored. Guan Zhenghu said suspiciously.

"Since they want to make a big case, they need a lot of investment, and their goal is the Dongchang Empire, so they naturally dig holes in advance under the post house where the Dongchang Empire often stays, and open the exit to every room. Li Yun said.

"You mean... This is a big case?!" Zhao Yu asked in shock.

"Yes, this is not only a big case, but also a shocking case, and the target should be the emperor and many ministers and envoys. "Li Yun's exit is amazing.

Guan Zheng was covered in a cold sweat when he heard this, and his face changed drastically.

"Yun'er, are you sure?!" Li Wei asked in surprise.

"Well, though, I'll need to see the gift before it's finalized. Li Yun nodded.

"Okay! We'll be right over. Guan Zheng said in a deep voice.

"Uncle, don't alarm them now, they may be hiding in a hole in the ground or in the shadows to watch what we are doing. Therefore, we must go over quietly, and it is best to find some big officials to meet with the Dongchang Imperial Mission, and ask them to take out the gifts and take a look at them first, and we can just hide and observe in secret. Li Yun said.

"It makes sense! The other party has been planning for a long time, and if the conspiracy is discovered, it may adopt a backup plan, which will be even more troublesome at that time. Guan Zheng praised.

......

There is a post house in the south of the imperial capital, which is extremely large in scale and beautiful in environment, and is an important place for the Tianlong Empire to receive missions from various countries.

The missions of the Dongchang Empire have always stayed here.

The head of the Dongchang mission to the capital of the Tianlong Emperor this time is a middle-aged man named Yan Gu, who has a fat head and big ears, and is quite blessed, and is a member of the royal family of the Dongchang Empire, and has a great prestige in the Dongchang Empire, which shows that the Dongchang Empire attaches great importance to this gift.

The big gift was lost, Wan Yan Gu put down the big stone in his heart, and was extremely excited at this time, drinking a little wine in the room, and letting the slave massage and relax.

"Report! The Three Highnesses of the Heavenly Dragon Empire are coming to visit!"

"What?!Third Highness of the Heavenly Dragon Empire?!Hurry up, please!"

When Yan Gu heard this, he actually got up from the bed, quickly dressed up, and went out the door.

"I don't know that His Royal Highness is coming, and it is too late to greet him, how offended!"

"My lord, hurry up and excuse me!" The Third Highness hurriedly helped Wan Yan Gu up.

"Third Highness, please!"

"Please!"

The Third Highness Long Hao and several subordinates entered the lobby with Wan Yan Gu.

"I heard that the congratulatory gift that my lord brought to my father this time was stolen, Xiao Wang was very frightened, and he came to apologize!" Long Hao said first.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your love! The stolen congratulatory gift has now been recovered, but it has caused a lot of trouble to your country's Xingtian Division, and I am quite uneasy!" Wan Yan Gu said.

Xiao Wang hadn't received a report from the Xingtian Division yet, so he hurried here. In this way, I really want to congratulate you!" Long Hao laughed.

"Haha! It's really amazing, in just half a day, the gift was lost and recovered, maybe the people themselves made a mistake, it's really ashamed. Wan Yan Gu smiled.

"As long as the gift is not lost, everyone will be relieved! I heard that this thing is very magical, I wonder if Xiao Wang can take a look at it first, and it will be a feast for the eyes?!"

"It's... His Royal Highness wants to see, naturally there is no problem. Why don't you move to the gift depository so that you don't have to worry about it?"

"It's nature, sir, please!"

The Third Highness took a few personal guards and followed Wan Yan Gu to the gift depository.

"Your Excellency!" shouted the two guards in unison.

"Open the door, Your Highness wants to see our gifts. Wan Yan Gu commanded.

"Yes!"

When they entered, they found the room very high, and a large box about ten feet high was placed in the middle of the house.

"Open the box. ”

"Yes!"

Under the gaze of everyone, the box was slowly opened, and the wrapped silk curtain was lifted, slowly revealing a nine-foot-tall red coral.

Wow!

Everyone was amazed, and their eyes flashed with envy.

This is a rare tall coral, with a tall trunk and many branches, red and crystal clear, like beautiful jade. Around the coral, there is a faint mist, which looks mysterious and moving.

There are also skilled craftsmen, embellishing some of the original flaws with huge night pearls and gold, jewelry, making the coral look perfect and luxurious.

"It's so beautiful!"

His Royal Highness praised him heartily, and even he, who had seen a lot of treasures, had to be impressed by it at this moment.

Several of the entourage were even more full of praise, and even saliva was about to flow.

"Hahaha!" Wan Yan smirked, enjoying the praise of the crowd.

"You don't know that this coral has one more benefit. It grows on the bottom of the East China Sea, and is subjected to the pressure of seawater and the warmth of submarine volcanoes all year round. If we put some pressure on it now, it will be able to absorb a large amount of fire aura from the environment and escape outward, and the surrounding aerosol phenomenon will be more obvious, showing a fiery red air mass, which is very spectacular!"

Wan Yan Gu introduced, waving his hand casually.

A huge Xuan Qi instantly enveloped the fire coral, and sure enough, the mist on the fire coral suddenly became turbulent, and streams of fiery red mist sprayed out, surrounding the coral, which looked dense and gorgeous.

Everyone was already in a daze.

......

Li Yun, who was mixed in with his entourage, stared at the fire coral tightly, thoughtful.

"Did you find anything?" said Li Yunxin.

"Master, I've found a problem!" Xiao Xing said suddenly.

"Where?"

"The mist is fine, but there is a problem with the Night Pearl. ”

"Oh, what's the problem?" Li Yun stared at the night pearls tightly.

"If the pressure is too great, these night pearls will burst open!"

Sure enough, Li Yun carefully observed the countless night pearls of different sizes on the coral, many of which were already trembling slightly under the pressure.

"It seems that someone has replaced it. Li Yunxin said.

"Yes, I can feel the marks of someone touching it. Xiaoxing said.

......

"What a superb treasure! Father will definitely like it!" the Third Highness said sincerely.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment!" Wan Yan couldn't hide the pride in his heart.

"Your Excellency's dedication to this gift this time will be a great achievement! Xiao Wang congratulates your Excellency in advance!"

"Hahaha! Thank you, Your Highness!"

Everyone then said goodbye and left the inn.

"How is it? Did you find any problems?" The Third Highness looked back at the inn that had been far away, and asked Guan Zheng softly.

Guan Zheng was thinking, but his eyes were staring at Li Yun.

"It's really a problem!" Li Yun said.

"Where did Childe find a flaw?!" Guan Zheng asked in surprise.

Everyone also turned to Li Yun in unison.

"The Night Pearls have been replaced! Under greater pressure, they will burst open, perhaps with some terrible poison gas inside, or some other murderous weapon. Li Yun said.

"This..."

When everyone heard this, they broke out in a cold sweat and trembled.

Guan Zheng said in a trembling voice: "It seems that they are staring at the opportunity of 'Ci Xuan' and taking advantage of the huge pressure of the Xuan Gathering Array in the court to make a fuss! If all the pearls of the night burst open and the poisonous gas inside escapes, I am afraid that a large number of people will be killed!"

"That's right! Actually, even if the pressure of 'Ci Xuan' doesn't make the Night Pearls burst, I think they will have a second plan to make those Night Pearls burst!" Li Yun analyzed.

"Childe is saying... There is a mole in the court?!"

"This possibility is extremely high, he must have hidden the antidote on his body in advance, as long as he sees that the night pearls have not exploded, he will definitely put pressure on them all to explode and create a bloody case. Li Yun judged.

"Too... It's terrible!" Zhao Yu said in a trembling voice.

His Royal Highness Long Hao's face turned pale, and his fists were clenched, "Who is it?!" Such a big case is enough to provoke a monstrous battle between my Tianlong Empire and the Dongchang Empire!"

"No matter who it is, it must be inseparable from the participation of the Xijon Empire. Li Yun said.

"How did Childe judge this?" Guan Zhengqi said.

"Fire Coral is missing for no more than a day, and it is impossible to complete all the tasks of replacing the Night Pearl in one day, and it must also be flawless and unnoticed, without a large number of skilled craftsmen. The Xijon Empire has a large number of masters in jewelry processing, so there must be a large number of Xijon craftsmen hidden in the caves. Li Yun analyzed.

"Childe is really a god. Guan Zheng stroked his forehead and praised.

"Hmph... Last time, I almost spread a plague in Chaocheng, and now I want to stir up relations between us and the Dongchang Empire and create a national war!"

"Childe, will the plan be released now?" Guan Zheng asked cautiously.

Li Yun pondered for a while and asked, "Your Highness, can you tell me in detail about the formation of the Gathering Xuan Array?" ”

"Okay, let's go back to the palace immediately, and I have a copy of that formation. ”

"Let's go!"

......

In recent days, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor has put up lights and hung colors everywhere, and even the trees have been draped in red makeup, and people are laughing and laughing, running to tell each other, and it is very lively.

Especially this morning, sixty bells rang throughout the city, and people blessed them from afar, the sixtieth birthday of the Holy Emperor of the Heavenly Dragon Empire has finally arrived!

Crowds and offerings from all over the world poured into the court like a tidal wave, waiting for the Holy Emperor's review.

There are too many gifts, and most of the birthday gifts have already been arranged to be sent to the royal warehouse before they have been reviewed, and only those who are particularly outstanding can be displayed at the gift ceremony and be rewarded by the Holy Emperor.

Above the court, the royal highnesses and princesses stood in the front row, hundreds of officials were divided, and the envoys were also among them.

The Holy Emperor is in good spirits today, radiant, dressed in a yellow robe, wearing a dragon crown, and slowly ascending to the court.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The crowd shouted in unison!

"Okay, good, good, all the emperors are flat!" the Holy Emperor raised his sleeves and took the lead in sitting on the dragon chair.

The crowd shouted and knocked again, and then they got up and stood up.

"The dedication meeting begins now!" said a favored eunuch.

Soon, the dedication ceremony that had been arranged for a long time finally began.

It was an eye-opening opportunity, and many people had been looking forward to it for a long time, even the Holy Emperor was watching with interest and intent.

"Look at this birthday gift, which one can take the lead!"

"Yes, the last time the emperor celebrated his fiftieth birthday, it was the Xirong Empire that won the first place with a crown of ten thousand pearls, and it is still vivid!"

"I heard that this time the Dongchang Empire has obtained a treasure, which is a 10,000-year-old fire coral under the sea, rich in spiritual energy, and extremely expensive!"

"There is such a strange treasure?! It seems that the meeting will open its eyes..."

The officials whispered.
