Chapter 618: Jinghong Ferry

The more I listened, the more interesting it became. Li Qingge nodded repeatedly, her cheeks flushed.

She always presented herself as a noble family, and rarely lost her composure like this.

He Lingchuan grinned at her: "But there is a problem here. As a party involved in the immortality medicine case, I cannot be openly associated with Master Shuangye. Therefore, I cannot personally go to Nian Zanli to make this exchange."

Li Qingge also understood the many twists and turns in the officialdom, and immediately said: "Leave it to me. As long as the token given by Master Shuangye can really mobilize the army, I think Nian Zanli doesn't care who he is trading with."

She said firmly: "You have done your best to get the mobilization token from Master Shuangye! I can complete the follow-up of this transaction myself."

He Lingchuan nodded and took out a token and two letters from his arms.

The token was dark red, and no one knew what it was made of. It felt a little soft, and a frost leaf was engraved on it.

The letter was the same color, and the wax seal on the seal was also a frost leaf-shaped mark.

This was the special item of Frost Leaf State Master that he had just retrieved from the place that Xi Yunhe had instructed.

Speaking of which, he always felt that this mark was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"In a few days, Beijia will have an event in Caohai, hosted by the Zhongsun family. Frost Leaf State Master will definitely be there." He Lingchuan pointed at the three things and said, "Nian Zanli can go to Frost Leaf State Master and directly verify their authenticity."

No matter how real the token is, it is not as good as Frost Leaf State Master's personal guarantee, so that Nian Zanli will be sure.

Li Qingge put away the three things, took a deep breath, suddenly got up from his seat, and bowed to He Lingchuan.

"Thank you, young master."

"What is your Lord doing?" He Lingchuan leaned forward and supported her elbow with just the right amount of force, so Li Qingge could not bow down. "It's not too late to thank me after you get the bamboo tube back. Nian Zanli may not be so honest."

"I have thought of many ways, but I have never had an equal bargaining chip, and I dare not approach Nian Zanli too much." Li Qingge picked up the Frost Leaf Token on the table, "Now that I have this thing in my hand, in terms of negotiation and means in the business world, the governor of Xunzhou is not as good as me!"

She smiled confidently: "Young master, wait for my good news."

But she immediately had the next question: "However, once Nian Zanli borrows troops, it will be a disaster for Yuan Country, especially Xiazhou will bear the brunt."

"Yes. So you must complete this transaction in the near future, and then proceed to the next plan."

Li Qingge was moved: "You want..."

The rest of the words were not said, but she made a gesture of wiping her neck.

Such a cruel action, but she did it in a playful way.

He Lingchuan shook his head: "We can't touch him. This is Lingxu City. We can't make too much noise."

Li Qingge also said: "I have thought about poisoning and cursing. But he is a general after all. Even if he is far away from the army, he still has some Yuanli. These methods are too ineffective for him, and it is easy to alert the enemy."

He Lingchuan nodded and leaned forward slightly: "Does Nian Zanli have enemies or opponents in Lingxu City?"

"Enemy or opponent? He is a foreigner and has no substantial conflicts with the dignitaries in Lingxu City." Li Qingge bit her lip and thought carefully, "But... When Master Shuangye allocated Yuanli to Nian Zanli, several elders criticized him very strongly. Two of them were assistant ministers left by the previous emperor. Although they have retired, the emperor seems to have to refer to their opinions. When Nian Zanli came to Lingxu City to borrow troops this time, they also wrote to the emperor Jun, you said absolutely not. Does this count as right? "

"If this doesn't count, then there's nothing to count." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "Then does Nian Zanli have any property in Lingxu City?"

"There are two houses, one large and one small, seven shops, a restaurant..."

He Lingchuan shook his head and interrupted: "Did you sell anything recently?"

"Yes." Li Qingge has been paying attention to Nian Zanli's movements and knows a lot about his business activities. "Nian Zanli hired people to lobby the emperor in Lingxu City, and the money he spent was like water. The little he extorted from me was not enough. He originally had three houses, and sold one a month ago. He also sold dozens of acres of land in the suburbs, a teahouse, and a chamber of commerce. "

"Where is the house you sold?"

"It's also in the main city." Otherwise, it would be worthless, and Nian Zanli wouldn't have to go to the trouble of selling it.

"Who bought it?"

"A wealthy businessman from another place bought it and used it as the storefront of the Chamber of Commerce. He also lives in it. I've been there and there are many people coming in and out." Li Qingge looked at him with interest, "Do you have a plan in mind?"

"I guess so, but you need the cooperation of the Lord."

"Go all out." Li Qingge poured him a cup of tea, her long eyelashes fluttering, "What do you want me to do?"

These words were said in a coquettish and charming way.

He Lingchuan said seriously: "Frame-up!"

"Hmm?"

He Lingchuan did not elaborate, but changed the subject: "By the way, Lord, have you ever heard of 'glazed gold'?"

"Of course." When it comes to professional fields, Li Qingge's attitude also subconsciously corrected, "It's transparent, like refined gold when hard, and like mercury when soft. It's a high-end product. Ancient immortals used it to refine magic tools. But the refining materials are very rare now. Songyang Mansion once wanted to replicate it, but failed."

"If you encounter such a magic tool or device or structure, is there any way to break it?"

"Break it?" Li Qingge frowned, "Can you explain it in more detail?"

"Glazed gold is just a shell, I want to take out the things inside." He asked this, of course it was related to the array eye of the gathering spirit array.

"Shell? How thick is it?"

"One palm wide." He Lingchuan said, "It can switch freely between liquid and solid."

"That's the characteristic of Liulijin." Li Qingge thought for a while, "It depends on who made it, what the usual method is, and what ratio of Liulijin is used."

He Lingchuan smiled bitterly: "Is there no way to break it directly?"

Li Qingge rolled his eyes at him: "Why do immortals use it as a magic weapon? Isn't it because of its characteristics? You just want to break it?"

"Yes." He Lingchuan rubbed his hands and said, "Sir, think of a way?"

This guy just gave her hope to take back the bamboo tube, how could Li Qingge refuse him? "Let me think twice."

He Lingchuan was overjoyed. The need to think twice meant that there was at least a glimmer of hope.

"Keep in touch and make a long-term plan." He grabbed the cup and drank it all, "The Pianxiang Villa where I live has been closely watched recently, so be careful when communicating."

The two left one after the other, with more than a quarter of an hour between them.

But when He Lingchuan also went downstairs to leave, a person behind the stairs of the teahouse hall looked up at his back, thinking.

This is an interesting position, blocked by stairs, and people coming in and out usually don't pay attention to this place, but the person sitting behind can see every guest carefully.

If He Lingchuan could look back and see clearly, he would find that this person is Fang Canran.

￥￥￥￥￥

The next day, Fu Shanyue took He Lingchuan to visit the Ke family.

People gave gifts and invited him to visit when he moved to Pianxiang Villa, so he shouldn't reciprocate?

Of course, the Ke family lives in the sky, that is, Tiantong Island, which is the floating island closest to the emperor, second only to Tianxin Island, and is also the ultimate residence of human officials.

If you want to go to the sky, you must first go to Chikan Peak in the center of the lower city and teleport with Jinghong Ferry.

Chikan Peak is also a small hill, with an altitude of no more than 100 feet. Halfway up the mountain is a natural giant square, which is the so-called "ferry", but the entrance is narrow and the camp is strict, where the army is stationed directly.

There is a sentry every three steps and a guard every five steps. Only people holding special tokens can enter. Civilians are not allowed to disturb.

Because the seven islands in the sky and the Chikan Peak on the ground are a complete set of magic tools, they have their own way of transmission, which is "Jinghong Ferry".

Different from the teleportation array that He Lingchuan took on Tianshu Peak, there are seven stone gates neatly erected on the square of Chikan Peak -

Strictly speaking, there are seven door frames more than five feet high, and light blue translucent water waves replace the door panels. It was also the first time that He Lingchuan saw water waves rippling vertically on the ground.

Fu Shanyue said to him: "Each gate corresponds to a floating island."

The name of the island is written on the top of the door frame.

Just then, a team of people walked onto the square after verifying their identity. When they passed through the gate, even the carriage and the attendants disappeared.

Fu Shanyue had already shown his prince token: "Let's go."

After passing through the blue water waves, He Lingchuan only felt a slight chill on his body, and the scene in front of him changed completely.

It was convenient, fast, and without any discomfort, unlike riding the teleportation array of Tianshu Peak, which would make you dizzy.

After all, this is the interior of the magic weapon, and the rules are different from those of the outside world.

He Lingchuan looked around when he first landed on the island.

It was late autumn, and the autumn wind was bleak in Lingxu Lower City, and the grass and trees were gradually turning yellow. Although the mountains in the suburbs were golden and red, the world was already in a solemn and murderous atmosphere; but He Lingchuan could not feel a trace of coolness when he landed on Tiantong Island, and even the breeze on his face was slightly damp and lightly fragrant.

This was the breath of spring.

He turned his head and saw that the winter jasmine flowers on the edge of the square were in full bloom, hanging down from the low wall, like a waterfall.

But when he walked out of the Jinghong Ferry of Tiantong Island, he saw real waterfalls pouring down from the peaks, with flowers blooming on both sides and kites chirping.

Every time he saw He Lingchuan showing his bumpkin look, Fu Shanyue felt very happy: "Tiantong Island is also called the Island of Flowers. There is only spring here. No matter whether the lower city is extremely cold or extremely hot, it is warm here."

The streets here are cleaner and smoother than the lower city. The curbs on both sides of the road are even paved with pebbles of uniform size. The carriage can hardly feel the bumps brought by the road.

Everywhere there are lush vegetation and carefully trimmed flowers.

Here, the roadside is a garden, and there are many precious tree species. There is no need to go to the homes of the rich to see them.

From Jinghong Ferry, you have to walk a 33-meter-long stone beam to reach the main body of Tiantong Island.

He Lingchuan walked on the edge of the stone beam and looked down to the lower city of Lingxu City.

Through the floating clouds, he could see the winding streets, the houses lined up one after another, and the jade-like river.
