Chapter 579: Self-Directed and Self-Acted (Updated)

The things inside were shaped like peanuts, there were dozens of them, but each was only the size of a mung bean, and the color was either whitish, slightly yellow, or even slightly transparent.

But this thing was not a peanut... Fortunately, he had good eyesight, and he looked at it carefully and exclaimed: "Bee pupae?"

These little things were all bee pupae, with their abdomens and claws, but they were half dried and none of them were alive.

"This thing is made from spore bees." Li Qingge explained, "Have you heard of it?"

"Of course." He Lingchuan smiled, "I saw a man in Blackwater City being stung by a spore bee. His whole body was swollen, as if his throat was blocked and he couldn't breathe. Thanks to the doctor's ability, he was saved."

Since then, he knew that spore bees were one of the killer bees, and one male and one female could form a nest. They especially cherish their offspring, and at the slightest sign of trouble, they hold the bee pupae under their abdomens for protection, hence the name.

If an enemy steals the bee pupae, they will chase them to the ends of the earth.

Li Qingge pointed to the two needles on the compass and said, "These two are the abdominal needles of the spore wasp. Their instincts remain after death, and we use their characteristics to make this needle box."

She took out a bee pupa and threw it on the pillar in the corner of the house.

The bee pupa broke without making any sound, leaving a little light yellow on the pillar.

He Lingchuan saw that both needles on the compass moved.

"The small needle is from the female bee, and it will point to the location where the bee pupa broke."

"The big needle is from the male bee, and it will mark the distance on the scale."

He Lingchuan took a look and found that the scale pointed by the big needle was within ten feet.

"We have done experiments, and its effective tracking distance is within 1,200 miles."

He Lingchuan clapped his hands: "Good stuff, very convenient! It will definitely be a hot seller when it goes on the market."

This thing is used to track and follow the enemy, which is really too convenient.

Although there were many kinds of tracking magic skills before, most of them were complicated and demanding. How could it be as easy to operate as this chasing bee?

Just because it is convenient, efficient, fast and accurate, He Lingchuan knows that this thing will be sold without any worries.

Li Qingge slapped the box into his palm and said with a smile: "Thank you for your good words. It will be on the market next spring. If you run out of bee pupae, you can go to the Songyang Mansion branch in Lingxu City to replenish them. As long as you put them in the box for a day and a night, the bee needles will assume that they are its offspring."

He Lingchuan accepted it with pleasure.

Li Qingge had achieved the purpose of this trip, so she changed the topic and talked about some interesting stories in Lingxu City.

She has a special quality that makes people feel like spring breeze no matter what they talk about, and they are still not satisfied.

Not long after, Fu Shanyue returned.

He didn't mind the leftovers on the table. He sat down and drank two large pots of wine with Li Qingge, which made her cheeks flushed, and he left quickly.

Fu Shan then asked He Lingchuan: "You kid, are you meeting a beauty while I'm away?"

"I don't think you would choose to meet a beauty here." He Lingchuan looked down on her, "Too many people spoil the mood."

"What is she doing?"

"Nian Zanli has found the weakness of Songyang Prefecture, and Songyang Hou can't stand it, so he wants to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for help."

"Me?" Fu Shanyue pointed at his nose, "The two Yuan people are fighting among themselves, and Songyang Hou wants me to help?"

He Lingchuan nodded.

"Do you want me to lend troops to Nian Zanli?" Fu Shanyue asked curiously, "Chiyan is far away from Nian Zanli's territory, called..."

"Xunzhou."

"Yes, Chiyan is too far away from Xunzhou, and it's not easy to transport soldiers and horses." Let alone tens of thousands of people, even if it's a few thousand people, it's too difficult for people to eat and horses to get from Chiyan to Xunzhou.

"The Kingdom of Xu Luo is near."

"The King of Xu Luo has a good relationship with my father." Fu Shanyue coughed lightly, "But I killed two subordinates of the Grand Tutor of Xu Luo, so..."

Before he finished speaking, He Lingchuan snatched the wine pot from his hand.

"If you want to drink, go buy it yourself."

How dare you drink his wine if you can't help?

"Hey!" Do you want to be so mercenary?

"I didn't say I really want to borrow troops, I just said to save Songyang Hou from being controlled."

Fu Shanyue shrugged: "Tell me if you come up with a solution." After that, he came over and asked him, "Are you interested in Songyang Hou?"

He Lingchuan said lightly: "That's not the case, but I owe her a favor."

Favors are debts, and they must be repaid.

"Really? That's a pity." Fu Shanyue took advantage of him not to be prepared and snatched the wine pot back.

He Lingchuan walked into the yard and stretched.

Li Qingge praised him nicely, saying that he was "not that kind of person", but He Lingchuan understood that she dared to give him this task mainly because He Lingchuan himself had a handle in her hand, so they were even.

Besides, she knew his origins, and she even knew that he was born in Black Water City, which was close to Panlong Desert.

Li Qingge might not know that this information could put him to death, but revealing it to Nian Zanli or Hong Chenglue could cause trouble for him.

Most importantly, Li Qingge probably thought that he didn't know what was hidden in the bamboo tube.

...

The next day, Fu Shanyue gave He Lingchuan a piece of news:

The poison found on the tables and chairs in his guest room on the day of the explosion can quickly penetrate into the human body through the skin, and then cause shock, coma, and suffocation.

This is not a biological toxin, but a powder extracted from a stone. If only a very small dose is added, it can be used to treat hemiplegia, so the Lingxu City officials did not prohibit it from being sold on the market.

But after it is mixed with several medicines such as white fish gall, it will undergo a wonderful chemical reaction and become a murder weapon.

On the day of the explosion, several new envoys moved out, so there were many servants moving in and out of the post house and carrying luggage during the day. I wonder if the murderer took this opportunity. He Lingchuan was only a special envoy, and the protection of his guest room was not so strict.

He Lingchuan was expressionless when he heard this: "In other words, nothing was found out?"

"The government is still working hard." Fu Shanyue coughed, "The other party wanted to plot against you, of course, they would try not to leave any traces, not to mention that there was a big explosion behind."

Explosion is always one of the best ways to destroy evidence.

"I have put pressure on the government several times, and the royal court will not sit idly by. Wait for the news." The prince of Chiyan was attacked in the post house. The nature of this incident was too bad, and it happened in the current special period. Lingxu City needs to give an explanation to Chiyan.

He Lingchuan nodded, turned around and walked out.

"Where are you going?"

"Go to Xushan to visit the ruins of the Immortal Sect."

He answered calmly, without any anger.

Because he was really not angry.

Why would someone poison him in the post house and then detonate it? If you want to kill someone, why do you have to do it twice?

The reason is very simple: he placed the explosives himself and detonated them himself.

The immortality medicine case has already made the Minister of Agriculture, the Cen family, the Zhongsun family and the Zhaixing Tower pay attention to a small figure like He Xiao; they may not have any way to deal with Fu Shanyue, but they can vent their anger on He Xiao, who is a thorn in their eyes.

In addition, at the Dunyuan sale, the contradiction between Prince Chiyan and the Zhongsun family deepened, and He Lingchuan himself also met Hong Chenglue.

Hong Chenglue did not turn his face on the spot, but who knows whether this Qingwu general will change his mind after the military battle?

He Lingchuan had just entered Lingxu City, and his situation had deteriorated to this point, almost surrounded by enemies.

So many opponents lined up to make trouble for him, all of whom were well-known figures in Lingxu City. He was flattered and had to think of a way to solve the problem once and for all.

That is to strike first!

Get ahead of everyone else and attack yourself first.

He used explosives more than once or twice, and even tested them repeatedly when he returned to Panlong City, so the power of this explosion was perfectly controlled, and almost no one was seriously injured except himself.

When the news spread, "He Xiao"'s popularity in Lingxu City would rise to a higher level, and the dignitaries would not be able to attack him again.

As a small figure who came to Lingxu City, facing the crouching tigers and hidden dragons here, He Lingchuan had two magic weapons to protect himself.

One is called transparency.

The other is called fairness.

Put yourself under the eyes of everyone, whether dignitaries or civilians, and you can't find any big problems, this is transparency.

When everyone knew that he came for the immortal medicine case and was injured in tracking down the real murderer, he put on the cloak of fairness and selflessness.

When the name He Xiao was popular, even the Demon Emperor would not want to attack him directly.

But the poison on the table and chairs that night was the work of others.

Someone really wanted to take his life.

He Lingchuan discovered through the eyeball spider that two people sneaked into his guest room to poison, so he decided to return to the posthouse and cause an explosion.

The water is already muddy enough, and he will add fuel to the fire, which is called excitement.

As for the fact that the Nancheng government has not yet found out who the poisoner is, whether they are incompetent or slacking off, He Lingchuan doesn't care.

This is the best result.

If the murderer cannot be found, then including Da Sima, the Cen family, the Zhongsun family and even the Fan brothers, anyone who has a grudge against him will become a potential suspect.

When the explosion case is known to the whole city again, everyone will point fingers behind them. These opponents of He Lingchuan will not have time to avoid suspicion, so how can they commit crimes against him?

Lingxu City is, after all, a place with laws.

He Lingchuan waved to the big tree in the yard, and a shadow jumped from the branch to his shoulder.

The goshawk standing on the roof only looked here and turned his head away.

The squirrel reported to Lord Wu on the first day he moved into the big tree. When the goshawk is hungry, it will not eat it as a snack.

He Lingchuan took a few hazelnuts for it. He has always been generous to the monsters around him.

The squirrel gnawed happily and said, "The car to pick you up has arrived."

He Lingchuan walked out of the house and saw a donkey cart parked there.

It seems that the bighorn sheep don't have to work today.

Lao Ge played the role of the driver and waved to him: "Special car pick-up, this is a VIP exclusive treatment!"

He Lingchuan got on the car, and the donkey cart started and headed north.

Lao Ge twisted the whip in his hand and said, "The Chen brothers you are tracking are dead."

It thought He Lingchuan would be unhappy, but this man's expression was still nonchalant and he was still watching the street scene.

"How did he die?" He Lingchuan sighed in his heart, as expected.
