Chapter 578 Li Qingge's Request

Li Qingge was slightly surprised: "How do you know... Oh!"

She remembered that before the Xiazhou governor left Shihuan City, she had asked the father and son whether there was a bamboo tube among Sun Fuping's relics.

It was a long time ago. This young man has a good memory and is very careful, which is very different from the straightforwardness he showed outside.

Yes, after leaving the governor He, he seemed to be no longer straightforward.

"Yes, it is it."

He Lingchuan thought for a while: "How do you know it is really in Nian Zanli's hands, and not taken away by the Grand Marshal of Wuzhou?"

When the civil strife in Yuan State was first to rebel, it was the Grand Marshal Dong Haoming who took the lead. Nian Zanli had been waiting and watching until He Chunhua reported to the capital. But they were both closely connected with Sun Fuping.

"I went to Wuzhou and checked carefully. It's not with the Grand Marshal." Li Qingge was very sure, "and Nian Zanli used such a thing when he threatened Songyang Prefecture. So I can confirm that it is in Nian Zanli's hands."

"He knows that he can use this thing to threaten you, so how can he return it to you?"

Li Qingge smiled bitterly: "This is the difficulty."

"I see that Nian Zanli is not living a happy life in Lingxu City. Does the Lord have no way to control him?"

"I tried several times, but this guy is unyielding and refuses to return it no matter what. I'm afraid that if I push him too hard, he will simply destroy the bamboo tube. I can ask someone for help, but this matter cannot be made too clear, otherwise it will be like driving a tiger to swallow a wolf..." She smiled bitterly, "After all, this is Lingxu City, not Yuan Country, and I don't have the convenience of being a landlord."

Her words were very clear, so it was not good to ask for help from other powerful people, lest it be easier to invite a god than to send him away.

"Does the Lord trust me so much?" Aren't you afraid that he will take the bamboo tube for himself after getting it?

Li Qingge smiled gently and charmingly: "Young Master is not that kind of person."

He Lingchuan also smiled and put away the inner armor: "What does Nian Zanli want when he comes to Lingxu City?"

Li Qingge lent him the purple gold pestle to deal with Bai Ziqi, and sent someone to deliver the Xinglong Pillar to Wange Swamp for him, so he owed at least two favors to Li Qingge and had to repay them.

"The battle of Han River caused him heavy casualties, and the plan to cooperate with Grand Marshal Dong Haoming to attack Xiazhou failed. I think this has become a knot in his heart, and it has also caused Lingxu City to be cold to him."

He Lingchuan nodded when he heard this.

He is no longer the boy who knew nothing about the Northern Monster Kingdom by the Han River a few months ago. Traveling around the Fan Monster Kingdom and surviving several near-death experiences have made him further understand Beijia, especially Lingxu City, and no longer see flowers in the fog as before.

If He Chunhua could realize as clearly as he does now at the beginning of Nian Zanli's rebellion, Lingxu City's attitude towards Nian Zanli would surely have a huge strategic adjustment.

"In the past two months, Nian Zanli has spent a huge amount of money in Lingxu City, hoping to find some nobles to lobby the Demon Emperor."

"Is it effective?" He Lingchuan is very concerned.

"Yes, I heard a piece of news that he seems to have asked Qingyang National Master to be a lobbyist."

He Lingchuan's eyes flashed: "Qingyang National Master? I remember that Nian Zanli asked Shuangye National Master to allocate Yuanli before the Battle of Han River. Why did he turn to Qingyang National Master now?"

"Maybe it's because of the heavy losses in the Battle of Han River?" Li Qingge didn't say it too clearly, but He Lingchuan had heard it clearly.

Hong Chenglue tricked Nian Zanli in the Battle of Han River, and Hong Chenglue was sent by Shuangye National Master. Nian Zanli probably had a knot in his heart because of this.

"Did Qingyang National Master persuade him?"

"It seems that the emperor's attitude has loosened up-"

He Lingchuan was shocked. Qingyang National Master's influence is still great. Yuan Country Xiazhou just experienced the Battle of Han River not long ago. Is it going to face another war before it can catch its breath?

As a time traveler, he didn't have deep feelings for Yuan Country, but he didn't want the people there to suffer.

Unexpectedly, Li Qingge continued: "However, the immortality medicine case suddenly broke out at this time, and the Qingfu Temple was also blown up. Although it has nothing to do with Qing Palace on the surface, but..."

"But the clues secretly point to Qing Palace, the gods must be angry, right?" He Lingchuan laughed, "If the gods are unhappy, the emperor probably can't consider the opinions of Qingyang State Master."

"Yes, so Nian Zanli's plan was shelved. He spent so much money and found so many people, but in the end, it was all in vain!"

He Lingchuan understood. No wonder he saw Nian Zanli at the Dunyuan sale, his face was haggard and his expression was gloomy.

It turned out that he was hitting a wall everywhere here.

Unexpectedly, when he was investigating an immortality medicine case, he unexpectedly hit the mark and destroyed Nian Zanli's plan to borrow troops.

Originally, they were not related at all, but in the end, they were actually involved.

Daddy should really send him a banner, otherwise Beijia's iron hoof will soon set foot on the land of Xiazhou, Yuan Country.

"He wants to borrow people and power from Beijia to fight a comeback, so he threatens Songyang Prefecture to contribute money and manpower." Li Qingge put away her smile, "I like to travel around the world, but I am still a Yuan countryman after all, how can I cooperate with him to attack my motherland?"

He Lingchuan lowered his eyes and secretly said that it was amazing.

Li Qingge only talked about herself in every word, but from beginning to end she reminded He Lingchuan that Yuan countrymen should help Yuan countrymen, and he helped Li Qingge to take back the bamboo tube, which was to help his motherland avoid war.

She raised this big hat, and it was difficult for He Lingchuan to refuse.

Li Qingge added, "Xiazhou was already weak, and it has been tormented by war for a year. It is still badly damaged and far from recovered. The last time I passed by the suburbs of Dunyu, I saw that people's livelihood was still in trouble. The elderly were over 50 and their teeth had fallen out, but they couldn't even drink porridge." She shook her head, "If we can stop Nian Zanli here, it will be a great help to your father."

He Lingchuan solemnly said: "Leave aside the righteousness of family and country, Sir Alex has helped me several times, so I should repay this favor. However, I have just arrived here, and it has been less than ten days since I entered Lingxu City. Sir Sir, I really think I can help." Are you busy?"

Favors come and go, favors come and go, and the more favors you use, the more you use them.

"The young master is now a close friend of the crown prince and the envoy of Chiyan. He is also famous for the elixir case and the bombing of the inn." Li Qingge bowed his head with his hand, "You see that Nian Zanli took the initiative to give you a gift, which shows that he thinks that You are worthy of friendship.”

She leaned forward slightly toward He Lingchuan: "Did you know that the Scarlet Yan Demon King has a good relationship with the Xuluo Kingdom?"

Xuluo Kingdom and Baoshu Kingdom both bordered Kite Kingdom.

"I don't know." He Lingchuan told the truth, "Three months ago, I couldn't even recite the name of Bejia's demon country. But I will try my best to praise this place."

Li Qingge immediately stood up and bowed to him: "Young Master has great righteousness, Qingge is very grateful."

"They are all Yuan people, what are you talking about?" He Lingchuan returned this sentence to her, "But I just arrived in Lingxu and I don't have enough manpower."

"If you need anything, young master, just ask." Li Qingge said softly, toasted him with a glass of wine, and then said, "Songyang Mansion also has several smart people in Lingxu City, and they all run three businesses here. If you are over 10 years old, you can do whatever you want."

He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows: "Your Majesty started running the business in Lingxu City a long time ago?"

“The first branch opened here five years ago.”

"The situation is so fast." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "I went to Dunyuan a few days ago, and the foggy mountain screen is so domineering." It is also very eye-catching. Guests coming and going have to take a second look, and the signature of Yang Mansion and mark just in the lower left corner.

General Golden Horn's Dunyuan, is that a place where any small business owner can advertise?

Lingxu City has developed for six hundred years, and the business ecosystem has probably solidified. Songyang Mansion can tear a small hole and get in in such a short time. Li Qingge is a woman with extraordinary skills.

She frowned, showing a little distress: "I have worked so hard to achieve this, but it was not the right time. Nian Zanli needed to manage everything in Lingxu City, so he treated my place as a bank, and he came to ask for money every now and then. Want something.”

He Lingchuan held a piece of pine nut fillet and chewed it slowly: "He only treats Songyang Mansion as a cash cow. He really underestimates the lordship."

In his opinion, Li Qingge's ability to make money was second to none.

Just give a random example: Songyang Mansion opened a branch in the capital of the Northern Demon Kingdom a few years ago. At that time, the relationship between the Yuan Kingdom and Bejia was already very bad. After all, Songyang Mansion was also the Taoist sect where the Yuan Kingdom started. , Li Qingge is also a marquis of the Yuan Kingdom, so the two parties are doing business openly, and the Yuan Kingdom is letting it go.

But Li Qingge's husband was killed for collaborating with the enemy and treason.

No matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like someone who can stay out of it.

But she just did it. Not only was Songyang Mansion unaffected, but its business grew and grew.

If it were any other ordinary businessman, his head would have dropped several times.

He Lingchuan boldly guessed whether this woman had some agreement with Yuan Ting in private?

Li Qingge was not modest at all, and raised his slender eyebrows: "Nian Zanli has lived in Xunzhou for a long time and rarely returned to Shihuan. I guess he doesn't know much about Songyang Mansion or me. Sun Fuping didn't reveal much to him. At present, He only extorts some money from me, but after he gets the bamboo tube, he will probably spend more time investigating."

He Lingchuan said seriously: "Let me try something."

"By the way, you have to be careful. Don't let Nian Zanli destroy the bamboo tube, or even let him remove the stopper."

He Lingchuan nodded and said hello. He probably guessed what was in the bamboo tube.

"By the way, I have a newly made toy here. Would you like to try it out, young master?"

Toy? A new toy to try?

He Lingchuan quickly put the strange thoughts to the back of his mind: "I want it, I want it."

Li Qingge took out a small box and said, "This is a tracking bee. Just by hearing the name, you know what it is used for, right?"

The box is octagonal and looks like it contains a pocket watch. The filigree pattern on the lid is in the shape of a bee. The overall look is quaint and exquisite.

Since it was called "Chasing Bee," He Lingchuan thought that two little bees would fly out as soon as the box was opened, but it didn't.

Inside is something like a compass, with a sandalwood panel with scales and words on it. In the middle are two small needles, one long and one short.

Isn't this just...a compass? The box looks nice though.

"Interesting, how to use it?" Li Qingge was a very particular person. Although he used favors to do things, he did not forget to give him some benefits.

She turned over the box, and He Lingchuan saw that there was a hidden compartment behind the box.
