After the Fairy Disappeared Chapter 577

  Chapter 577 The gift of the annual ceremony

  He Lingchuan smelled a sweet aroma, whether it was pears or grapes, it seemed that the glass was indeed juice, but the color was a bit strange, and there were some cloudy suspended matter.

   It reminded him of the creek on the road, with a layer of greasy light on the surface.

   "No." He didn't have the courage to touch the liquid of unknown origin, "How can I contact you later?" He didn't want to run here over and over again.

   "This is easy." Lao Ge walked out of the house and yelled twice at the nearby big trees.

  When he came back, there was a black thing on his shoulder.

  He Lingchuan thought it was a black mouse, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a big squirrel with a shaggy tail and long hairs behind the ears.

   "Take it to the tree near the residence, and call it down if you have something to do." Lao Ge said with a smile, "From now on, it is our messenger."

  He Lingchuan nodded, and the squirrel jumped onto his shoulder.

   "By the way, Fang Canran, the manager of Dun Garden, how much do you know?"

"Boss Fang?" Lao Ge said without thinking, "He is the most trusted and powerful steward of General Jinjiao, and almost single-handedly controls all the property of the Jinjiao family. He is also a famous number one outside. Why did you ask him?"

   "He looks like a friend of mine." He Lingchuan asked, "Do you know the origin of Director Fang? I want to see if there is some connection."

   "Origin?" Lao Ge hissed, "It seems that he is from Lingxu City, at least he came earlier than me."

   "Well, I'll go and find out. However, those who can be used by the Golden Horn family should have a clean background."

  He Lingchuan couldn't help but laugh: "Where did I say that he is not clean?"

  Old Ge stretched out his hand unceremoniously.

  He Lingchuan gave him another ingot of silver.

  It weighed its weight: "Give you news as soon as possible."

   "Also, I want to go to Xushan for a while, do you still have a tour?"

   "Yes, of course." Regardless of where the money comes from, regular business needs to be done, "There will be a group going to Xushan in two days."

   "Count me in." He Lingchuan put down a silver ingot as a deposit, got up and left.

   Waiting for his figure to disappear from the field of vision, Lao Ge put away the silver taels, picked up the wooden cup on the table and drank it down in one gulp, ahing intoxicatedly.

   Sour!

  Humans really don't know what to do.

  A big horse monkey jumped in from behind the door:

"Brother Ge, I happen to know the two people he mentioned. They live in Baijia Village on the upper reaches of the Li River in the east. A good price was paid, but the money was donated to the gambling house before it was warmed up." It scratched its face, "They all have ichthyosis on their bodies, they scratch when they have nothing to do, and they scratch more fiercely than me!"

   "Then why are you still standing?" Lao Ge slapped it out of the window, "Go and find out where the brothers are now, and make sure the guests can find them in two days!"

  The next morning, He Lingchuan still woke up in his five-acre mansion.

  Sitting up, the first thing I saw was the gradually changing red maple in the garden outside the window, and the long-tailed pheasant picking fruit to eat under the tree.

   The first time he owned such a large house all by himself, it was actually in Beja.

  Oh no, he also has a bad guest, who must live here.

  As soon as he got up, a servant came over with warm water to wash his face.

   "No need." He snatched the towel.

  He Lingchuan would never let others get so close, and even cover his eyes.

  He was not seriously injured, he didn't need to swallow Yuhuandan, and now he can run, jump and fight.

  But He Lingchuan didn't go out in a hurry, but asked Goshawk to run errands for him.

   This time Goshawk asked for half a head of Xitan sheep. Last time He Lingchuan fulfilled the contract very happily, but he was already tired of eating rabbit meat. In the past few nights, the two of them and the tiger have been roasting lamb around the bonfire, making it so greedy.

"no problem."

  But the waiting guests hadn't arrived yet, but He Lingchuan unexpectedly received a gift:

  The treasure armor sent by the New Year Zanli.

   This is an inner armor that can be worn close to the body. It has four layers of silk weaving inside and outside, but its weight is similar to that of ordinary silk clothes. This kind of craftsmanship alone is very valuable. When He Lingchuan performed the Yan's back-to-body technique, of course, the smaller the self-weight, the better.

   Not to mention the material of this soft armor, it is made of black gold silk weaving crypt spider silk!

  He Lingchuan is very familiar with crypt spider silk, and he can tell which grade of material it is by touching it. He set fire to the armor casually, burned for more than ten breaths, the inner armor did not change color, and even felt soft and not hot to the touch.

  It has the ability to ward off swords, guns, water and fire.

  He Lingchuan originally asked Songyang Mansion to make a soft armor for him, using Zhu Erniang's spider silk. But the armor has been weaving for the longest time, and the Songyang Mansion has limited manpower here, so the soft armor has never come out.

  Unexpectedly, the New Year gift was brought to him first.

  He Lingchuan remembered that when he chatted with Fu Shanyue at the Dunyuan sales meeting, he casually said that he wanted to find a piece of inner armor, but he was not expected to be listened to by Nian Zanli.

   He didn't expect that this gift used crypt spider silk, and it was Zhu Erniang's brocade!

   That is to say, most of this inner armor came from Songyang Mansion.

  Purchased Neijia from Songyang Mansion as a reward for the New Year, and then sent Pan Shanzhai to him?

  Reminiscent of Li Qingge's request to him in Dunyuan, between her and Nian Zanli...?

  Fu Shanyue is not here today, but the guard said that the New Year's ceremony also sent condolences to the prince.

  There was no communication between Chiyan Kingdom and Xunzhou Mu. Presumably after the Dunyuan sales meeting, the whole story of the elixir case finally reached the ears of Nian Zanli. He also heard that the post house exploded and Prince Chiyan and his party were attacked, so he offered gifts to express his condolences.

  Lingxu City is as luxurious as clouds, and if you want to save favors, you can't wait until they are used up to find them. You should pay attention to opening up your contacts in normal times. Six hundred years of imperial capital, six hundred years of officialdom, the set of rules and scale of entertainment and exchanges have reached their peak.

   Year's Tribute If you want to gain a firm foothold in Lingxu City, you must have friends and nobles. A friendship with the prince of the Fan Yao Kingdom is worth managing.

   Compared with Fushan Koshiga Reikawa received much less gifts, because he is unknown-even though he was the real "victim" of the bombing.

  In the evening, distinguished guests come to the door.

  When Li Qingge, who was dressed in Chinese clothes, walked through the maple forest and entered the back garden, dinner was just being served in the Yuyu hall.

   "Your house is really nice." She looked at He Lingchuan and clicked his tongue twice, "Everywhere is elegant, quiet amidst the hustle and bustle."

   "The meaning of quiet amidst the noise is that you think it's too small?" Anyway, no one would describe Dun Yuan that way.

  Li Qingge smiled and said, "Don't twist my point. Huh? You don't seem very happy?"

   This woman is really sharp.

  He Lingchuan helped her open the chair: "Please take a seat."

   When Li Qingge leaned over and sat down, He Lingchuan didn't have to lower his head to see the fiery red coral beads on her black cloud bun, and smell the faint scent of Yunhu on her neck.

  She has big red lips today, which are thicker and more gorgeous than the maple leaves in late autumn outside.

   But she is sitting tight.

   "How is your injury?"

  He Lingchuan poured wine for her casually: "Small injuries, I can't die."

  He knew very well how powerful the explosion was, and the wounds were all on his back. At that time, he supported the gas and used a mirror to rescue him, so he only suffered some skin trauma, and his internal organs were basically intact.

  Injury is a must, otherwise it would not be true.

  Li Qingge looked at the wine glass: "Then you can still drink?"

   "The doctor has explained." He Lingchuan took another bottle, "So what I drink is tea."

   "You are really a lucky general. Has the murderer been caught?"

  He Lingchuan shook his head: "The tables and chairs in my guest room were also poisoned. The officials who searched the scene touched the poison a few times and almost died on the spot."

  Li Qingge frowned, "I've poisoned you, and I'm going to blow you up again? Why bother?"

   "Either I'm afraid I won't be able to die, or—"

  Li Qingge had already come to his senses: "Either two groups of people did it?"

   "The government is so suspicious." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "At present, we can still find some clues through the poison, and they are investigating."

"The government is under a lot of pressure, and the higher-ups probably set a date for them to solve the case." Li Qingge held a chopstick with braised venison, "You hid in the small building and became unified, but there was a lot of rumors outside. This bombing case is comparable to Add fuel to the flames, and with one blow, you and Fu Shan will become so popular in Lingxu City that no one can surpass them."

  He Lingchuan smiled without saying a word.

   With such a strong exposure, now is the safest time for him. Those who want to trouble him must think twice.

   Before he could ask, Li Qingge said, "By the way, my people have been sent out a long time ago. They should have passed Bailing Valley by now, and we can reach our destination in a few days."

  She didn't make it clear, but He Lingchuan understood the meaning:

  The people she sent will reach the Wango Swamp in a few days and press the dragon pillar.

   This is really the news that He Lingchuan has been looking forward to for a long time. I hope everything goes well and nothing will happen again.

   "Thank you Sir, you really helped me a lot." He put the inner armor given by the New Year's gift on the table, "By the way, the gift given to me by the New Year's gift is from Songyang Mansion, right?"

  Li Qingge only glanced at it, then nodded and said, "I just made it the night before yesterday. The young master is really amazing. I only met the Nian Zanli once, so let him take the initiative to give you a gift set to get close."

   Facing her, He Lingchuan has always used his words carefully: "How much did you sell him for this inner armor?"

  Li Qingge slowly put down his chopsticks, took another sip of his wine, and said:

   "One point is confiscated."

   "He asked me directly, and I gave it to him."

  He Lingchuan waited for her explanation. This woman came for an appointment, so she should have already thought about what to say.

  Li Qingge glanced at him, bit his lips: "Songyang Mansion has an important item in his hands, and I want you to help me get it back!"

  Suddenly it was so straightforward, without twists and turns? He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows, a little surprised:

"what?"

"The thing was originally in the hands of Sun Fuping, and he used it to blackmail the Songyang Mansion for many years, asking for money and things to fill his desires." Li Qingge said in a deep voice, "I thought that after Sun Fuping died, the Songyang Mansion I was able to untie it from now on, I didn't expect such a thing to fall into Nian Zanli's hands again!"

   "As soon as he came, the lion opened his mouth. I really don't want to give it, but..."

   Speaking of this, she sighed lightly.

  He Lingchuan's eyes flickered slightly: "Is it that colorful bamboo tube?"
