Chapter 864: A Border Town
Leaving the grassland, Lin Chao went all the way north to Jichang, a small border city of Qi.
Jichang is the northernmost city of the Great Zhou Alliance of Qi, so it is known as the supreme of Qi, and the armies of the Great Zhou and Northern Yuan empires have clashed here many times in history.
It is separated from the city of Laer of the Northern Yuan Empire only by a Mana River, which is said to be a river, but it is actually a river that is more than 1,000 kilometers long, winding out to the sea.
The tributaries of the Mona River separating the cities of Jichang and Lal are relatively small, less than a kilometer at their narrowest point.
Although it is separated by more than 1,000 kilometers from Champa, the average summer temperature in Jichang is also above 20 degrees, and people mainly dress coolly.
Unlike other cities, you can often see Beiyuan people wearing short sleeves on the streets of Jichang.
Compared with the Qi people, the Beiyuan people are tall and have a pale complexion, which is easy to identify.
Since the relationship between the Great Zhou Alliance and the Northern Yuan Empire has warmed, there have been more tourists in Jichang, not only people from several nearby cities, but also guests from other vassal states who are curious about the Northern Yuan.
Lin Chao is also one of the tourists, the mountains here are high and the emperor is far away, and you can wait for the occupation of the city to ferment.
He did not contact the organization, but studied the old turtle glasses with Ren Zhen.
Regarding the matter of the Refining Pill and Shui Yuntian Essence Blood, Lin Chao couldn't say clearly, anyway, the red liquid disappeared and was absorbed by Tiangang's clone, and it disappeared completely, leaving no trace.
He couldn't explain it, so he simply pushed the matter to the dead Qi Yefeng, saying that Qi Yefeng was fixed there after drinking it, and he lost his life mysteriously.
The images taken by the camera corroborated Lin Chao's words, and the camera was always aimed at Qi Yefeng and not at him, so he swore an oath.
In the video, Qi Yefeng made various movements after drinking, and when he finally finished it, he stood there, keeping his posture unchanged, and even the expression on his face did not change.
However, it was only a short moment, less than a second, and Qi Yefeng immediately fell, and his body began to dry up.
What Lin Chao experienced in the secret room became a complete mystery, or rather, his fantasy, but Lin Chao was sure that it was real, and the reason why Qi Yefeng died was because the Refining Pill absorbed his vitality, otherwise why was the scene so clean.
If it weren't for the Refining Pill to make a ghost, Qi Yefeng would have moved a few more times before dying, and the surrounding items would definitely be destroyed, and it would be impossible for him to die so suddenly and weirdly.
Ren Zhen watched the live video many times, and only found an abnormal pause of less than a second, and found nothing else.
She focused on the goal of this mission - glasses made of 10,000-year-old turtle shells, but unfortunately the Internet speed in Qi is slow, Zhancheng is even slower, and Jichang's is particularly slow, so it is very inconvenient to consult information.
Lin Lan was also very curious about the glasses, and the reward of up to 400,000 oil coins showed that the organization got more from the client.
I can think with my toes that the entrusting party is most likely to be the Ji family of the royal family, and the glasses are from Emperor Zhou, not who comes forward from the royal family.
The old turtle glasses were first in the hands of Emperor Zhou, and then stolen by Qi Yefeng, they didn't find it for so long, and basically they wouldn't find it.
Thinking like this, Ren Zhen was still unwilling, Lin Lan also followed the study, and recognized all the subtle words on the glasses, which was a passage praising Emperor Zhou, which could be said to be a poem, which made Lin Lan even more sure that the old turtle glasses were real.
Ren Zhen hopes to have experimental equipment and a more detailed and careful analysis, and Lin Chao can't be satisfied for the time being.
The golden autumn of September is coming, and Jichang's bulletin board will be updated with a batch of new content every week.
This kind of bulletin board is rare in Wei, but there are many in Qi, especially in a small border town like Jichang, and some news from afar is mainly transmitted through television, radio, announcements, and newspapers, rather than the Internet.
"What kind of person is this, who is actually suspected of attacking the third prince!"
"It's bold. Blue Dream Organization, Guo Tiangang, Amu ...... The photo is so clear. ”
"What a high bonus, there will be 500,000 yuan for reporting an effective clue!"
"I'll look at what they are. ”
"Don't squeeze, wait until I'm done taking pictures. ”
On that day, Lin Chao's high-definition photo of Guo Tiangang pretending to be appeared on the notice board, with a red logo, representing extreme danger.
At the end of August, the Qi government announced that the third prince, Qi Yefeng, who had been plagued by illness for a long time, died of myocardial infarction.
Before his death, Qi Yefeng had been attacked in Champa, and mutants appeared in it, and the impact of this matter was extremely serious.
It is rumored that Qi Yefeng's sudden death was related to the attack, which has not been officially confirmed.
It is not a secret that Qi Yefeng is a mutant, there are various rumors in private, and there are posts on the Internet citing the data of a certain mutant organization, saying that the average life expectancy of mutants is less than 50 years old, so Qi Yefeng can be regarded as "the end of life".
This statement is the mainstream, and there are also conspiracy theories, Qi Yefeng "died violently" a few days after the attack, and no one believes that there is no connection between the two.
As for the fact that Qi Yefeng was kidnapped by Guo Tiangang that day, the outside world was unaware of it, not to mention that going to the grassland and Qi Yefeng was the secret of the female thief Lu Xia.
Qi Yefeng's affair quickly sank, and the news of the male and female thieves quickly made headlines.
Whether it is in the circle of mutants or ordinary people, after all, he is a thief who has stolen Emperor Zhou's belongings, which is both gossip and suspenseful, which is very eye-catching.
Shu Liang, who was shot dead at the Huatian Hospital in Zhancheng, was identified as a male thief, and the notebook that had been tampered with by Lin was also translated.
The contents of it confirmed this incident, and also added a record that the female thief Lu Xia had died.
Shu Liang's various past experiences are being excavated, and even Tianluodiwang has made a series for him, titled "Heartbroken, the most powerful thief in history hidden in a mental hospital still can't hide from the Soul Snatching Gun", a proper Internet celebrity, making people wonder if the editors of Tianluodiwang are crazy.
Some of the objects in the secret chambers of the grassland were published in the name of the stolen goods of male and female thieves, which is even more convincing.
When the bulletin board was updated, Lin Ran was sitting in a café by the Mona River, with a few freshly published newspapers in hand, listening to other people's discussions, and editing messages on his mobile phone.
For him, the mission has come to a successful conclusion.
The task item Old Turtle Glasses was in hand, and he successfully escaped.
Although a weird old monster Shui Yuntian appeared, there was no abnormality in these days, and Lin Chao was sure that the Refining Pill had been completely absorbed, and the loss of a clone lagged Shui Yuntian's body and suffered losses, and it may be recovering.
According to the situation learned in the grassland secret room, the communication between the main body and the clone has not been smooth, and the refining pill has been hidden in Guo Fucheng's body for many years, resulting in a lag in information updates, and what has happened recently is unclear.
In other words, the ontology probably doesn't know anything about the specific situation that happened in the grassland secret room, only that a clone was destroyed.
Originally, Lin Chao was still thinking that Tiangang would give some benefits after absorbing the Refining Pill, but he didn't expect there to be no movement.
It stands to reason that this is a very rare energy body, and it should be said that the first time I encountered it, I have said in the past, but I don't know what the situation is this time.
You should always give me some soup when you eat meat, maybe it's the reason why Tiangang's body is not there. Lin Chaoru comforted himself.
