Chapter 617: People Who Can't Be Seen Through

"Maybe they know Nightmare, isn't Cheng Yu like that?" The strange head explained, "Besides, things are rare and valuable, and Dreamland is not easy to collect. It sounds like a high-end collection. Besides--"

It chuckled twice: "You humans always have some shady thoughts. It's so good to do it in dreams, and you can be free."

"Ah?"

"Beautiful girls also dream." The strange head laughed, "Close in dreams, nothing happened when you wake up, so-called big dreams leave no trace."

He Lingchuan understood. No wonder Fang Canran still emphasized to him that there are many beauties in the town where the main part of Dreamland is located.

"Okay, then Dreamland will be your nest in the future." It is also very simple to let Nightmare leave Panlong City. He grabbed the strange head and threw it directly into the river, "Go."

In the eyes of the residents of Panlong City, he just threw a stone into the water.

The strange head sank to the bottom and disappeared.

People need houses, dogs need nests, and Nightmare usually stays in Dreamland to recuperate. Staying in Panlong City for a long time, it can't get any supplements, and it can hardly walk on the road in recent missions.

He Lingchuan spent a lot of money to buy it a nest.

After all, it is very convenient to send nightmares out to do things, and you can ignore many rules and regulations in reality. For example, a few days ago, nightmares got into Zai Fukua's dream and got a lot of information about the Xushan Gathering Spirit Array.

The rock fire monster Zhuoju has a bad temper and many tricks. Why did the gods designate Xushan as their ground palace? Isn't that a fire under the butt?

Only in Zai Fukua did He Lingchuan find the answer:

First, the predecessor of Xushan, Shouanshan, is the old site of Dahuanzong. This is one of the oldest immortal sects in the world. It is famous for its outstanding people. Of course, it was also the main force against gods in ancient times. The gods specially built the heavenly palace here, which is to step on the old enemy under their feet, which has a strong symbolic meaning.

More importantly, Xushan is the source of the earth veins of Lingxu City. The Gathering Spirit Array must be built here to continuously supply Lingxu City with more abundant spiritual energy.

It is related to the welfare of all practitioners in Lingxu City, and it cannot be neglected.

However, the geographical conditions of Xushan are actually not suitable for this version of the Gathering Spirit Array. It was only after the gods and the emperor forced the Jiuju Mountain to move the peak that it was barely completed.

When leaders give orders, they usually don't care about the difficulties in the process as long as the results are satisfactory. Officials including Zai Fukua changed the plan again and again. Even if it cannot be built, they must create conditions to build it.

Of course, the Gathering Spirit Array finally started to operate as scheduled, once again showing the omnipotence of the gods.

But the price will not disappear.

The built Gathering Spirit Array naturally has some weaknesses that cannot be eradicated and can only be repaired. Therefore, it is overhauled countless times every year, which is labor-intensive, time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly.

Of course, with the wealth of Lingxu City, it can afford this price.

...

Lingxu City is a prosperous business city, and wine shops, teahouses, and theaters are all places to do business. Especially in teahouses, when the weather turns cold, more people come in to drink a few cups of hot tea to warm themselves up. In the afternoon, there are also famous people giving lectures, so the building is not crowded, and the occupancy rate is at least 70%.

Fortunately, such places have private rooms.

This teahouse has a quiet environment. There is also a small courtyard like a patio outside the private room. The area is only a few square meters, but it is paved with white sand and planted with miscellaneous trees, which has a quiet and detached artistic conception.

He Lingchuan asked after entering the door, and the waiter led the way and said, "The private room upstairs!"

Go up to the second floor and sit in the private room. Opposite He Lingchuan is a beautiful woman like jade.

Li Qingge.

She is dressed in men's clothes today, with a white dress and a green jacket, and a jade crown to tie her hair.

In front of her is a small red clay stove, and white steam is coming out of the cast iron spout on the stove.

He Lingchuan smiled and said, "My Lord is really keeping up with the trend."

In the past year, it has become popular for girls in Lingxu City to go out in men's clothes. This trend came from the floating island, so this kind of women dressed as men does not need to smear their skin or deliberately make themselves ugly, just because women wearing men's clothes will always add a bit of heroism.

There are even special makeup for this kind of women dressed as men.

He Lingchuan has seen a lot of them on the street these days, and he sighed that the girls in the imperial capital really know how to play.

Li Qingge also wore light makeup today. Who can't tell that she is a woman?

No man is so white.

No man has such charming eyes.

No man has such delicate skin.

But it looks good when dressed like this.

It's enough to look good.

Li Qingge raised the pot and poured a cup of hot tea for He Lingchuan: "Does it look good?"

"Of course it looks good." There is nothing to deny.

The two sat by the window. To the left, they could see the movement in the middle of the street, and to the right, they could hear the storytelling on the first floor of the teahouse. It can be said that the noise inside and outside was fully heard.

"Why are your clothes wet?" Li Qingge asked with concern, "Shall I ask someone to buy you a set of clean clothes?"

"No need." He Lingchuan waved his hand, "Just use your strength to dry them, and they will be dry soon."

Before leaving today, the ghost behind Pianxiang Villa was still lingering in his mind.

He rowed to the center of the lake again, but the tiger reminded him that there might be spies in the air this time.

Tongxinwei reacted quickly. After suffering a loss yesterday, he made up for his shortcomings today. Fan Long really cared about his affairs.

It's a pity that the goshawk hasn't come back yet, so He Lingchuan can only dive into the water.

The lake water of Qilin Mountain is connected to the cave. He held the gills of the big-mouthed catfish monster and let it take him into the cave.

The boss who paid him had a request. Let alone taking him for a swim, even if the big-mouthed catfish danced in the lake covered with water plants, it would be happy.

Then, He Lingchuan went out from the other side of Qilin Mountain.

He really likes the geographical location of Pianxiang Villa more and more, with beautiful mountains and rivers, Tsk!

Li Qingge did not insist: "I heard that Pan Shan's house was burned, you should be okay?"

"Fu Shanyue and I were not here, and the servants in the house suffered heavy casualties." He Lingchuan's face sank slightly, "Prince Huan couldn't find us, so he took his anger out on the servants."

"Monsters are monsters." Li Qingge would not say "it's still young", "The residents of the floating island should know Prince Huan's temperament very well. Have you found the instigator behind it?"

He Lingchuan shook his head: "This is probably the same as the posthouse explosion case, and it will eventually become a headless case."

"To be honest, I thought that a legendary place like Lingxu City would be very efficient in solving cases." The reality surprised him a little.

Are there not many people like Bai Ziqi in Lingxu City?

"Do you think the Emperor didn't instruct or send anyone to supervise?" Li Qingge shook her head, "I don't think it's easy to find out."

She didn't say that she couldn't find out, but "it's hard to find out".

He Lingchuan laughed, not disappointed at all.

If his future is destined to be an enemy of Lingxu City, then the more chaotic and inefficient the enemy is, the happier he should be.

Someone happened to pass by in the corridor, and Li Qingge waited until the footsteps were far away before asking him:

"You asked your friends to pass the message and ask me to meet, is it because...?"

Last night, she received the news from He Lingchuan, not through Lao Dan, but from a little monster.

In theory, she should be more calm.

But when it comes to her personal interests, Li Qingge finally couldn't help it.

"The Tongxin Guards have moved into Pianxiang Villa. They are keeping a close eye on me. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Old Dan to get rid of them." He Lingchuan said softly, "I found a way that may make Nian Zanli voluntarily hand over the bamboo tube."

Li Qingge's beautiful eyes slowly widened: "Young Master, please tell me in detail!"

He Lingchuan did not hide anything and told her the whole story.

Even though Li Qingge was full of excitement, she suppressed it and did not dare to interrupt.

Until He Lingchuan finished speaking in one breath and served tea to moisten her throat, she was still a little unbelieving:

"You, you mean, you can borrow troops from Frost Leaf National Master for Nian Zanli?"

"Yes."

"How did you do it?" Li Qingge looked at him with a different look. This young man came to Lingxu City for the first time, and it has not been a month yet. He has a lot of crises and troubles to deal with in the middle. How could he be related to one of the most powerful people in the whole Beijia?

She has been doing business here for many years with the signboard of Songyang Mansion. She has only met Frost Leaf National Master twice. There is no friendship to talk about at all.

In the imperial capital of six hundred years, how strict is the hierarchy?

Not to mention that He Lingchuan is asking others to lend soldiers.

Can soldiers be lent out casually? Even if the soldiers are from Baling, Master Shuangye will have to use his own connections and bear certain risks.

After all, this matter will eventually reach the ears of the Demon Emperor.

What methods did this young man in front of him use to make Master Shuangye willing to do such a big favor?

Li Qingge was very clear about He Lingchuan's background. He is the son of the county governor of the northwest border of Yuan Country. His father is now only the general manager of Xiazhou. This is nothing in Lingxu City.

Previously, he was asked to contact Nian Zanli because this young man was smart and had the support of Prince Chiyan. He might be able to get some soldiers for Nian Zanli in a roundabout way.

It's just a net to catch fish, just give it a try.

But now she finds that she can't see through him at all!

How is he related to Master Shuangye? In Lingxu City, the power of Prince Chiyan is not at the same level as that of Imperial Master Shuangye!

Could he have other backgrounds?

He Lingchuan smiled: "Sorry, this is my personal matter."

He was working back and forth.

"I said too much." Li Qingge thought for a while, "Nian Zanli just wants to borrow troops to fight back, as long as he can fight back to Xiazhou. As for where the troops come from, it should not be important."

He Lingchuan nodded: "Ba Ling's infantry and cavalry are very good, and they are close to Xunzhou and the northern part of Xiazhou, and they can save a lot of food and supplies. Otherwise, even if they are transferred from Xuluo Country, the distance will be at least doubled. The most important thing for marching and fighting is food for people and horses. The burden is so heavy before the battle begins."

"Besides, even if the Demon Emperor nods, how many troops can Beijia lend to Nian Zanli? I guess they are all old, weak, sick and disabled. Besides, can Beijia's army really listen to his command?"

Thirty thousand troops and several generals are all dispatched and commanded, which is a great advantage.

The so-called "borrowing troops" in history is mostly a nice way of saying it, but in fact it is basically just a coalition, and both sides exercise command independently.

Why should they obey the weaker side when they are strong, have troops and combat power?
