Chapter 626: Oath Chain

He Lingchuan began to make nonsense: "Do you know the ruins of Thousand Stars City?"

"I know. It's the old royal capital of Guyuan Kingdom." It became world-famous because of the battle that destroyed the country more than a hundred years ago.

"On the ruins of Thousand Stars City, there will occasionally be illusions after violent sandstorms, recreating the battle of Yuan Kingdom's destruction." He Lingchuan shrugged, "I have seen similar scenes, but it happened in another place."

Fang Canran licked his lips. Although he knew that the other party was setting a hook for him, he still couldn't help but ask: "Where?"

"Not in Bejia." He Lingchuan smiled, "Go further west, then west."

"What did you see?"

"I saw Shao Jian visiting the ancient city. Oh, that place was very prosperous more than a hundred years ago. It is not as prosperous as Lingxu City, but it is more orderly and rich than most cities."

To pry Fang Canran's mouth open, he must make him believe that both of them are related to Shao Jian.

For those who know Shao Jian's life, it is probably not difficult to guess where the "ancient city west of Beqa" he refers to is.

"I also saw Shao Jian talking to his friends in the secret room, saying that he had a seven-year-old daughter, whose nickname is Yanzi and whose nickname is Yingying." He Lingchuan said slowly, "He smiled so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes, and he was full of pride. "

He sighed: "Although he is obsessed with revenge, he hopes that his daughter Shao Yingying will be safe and live a normal life." He Lingchuan still remembered the light in Shao Jian's eyes when he talked about his daughter.

Fang Canran was silent: "What else?"

"He said that when he took his daughter to visit the West Street Temple Fair in Xuanguolinhe City, he asked someone to tell his fortune. The fortune teller he gave was the fourteen words I said before." He Lingchuan pretended to be surprised when he said this, " Oh, yes, Xuanguo has long since disappeared, and I don’t know if Linhe City is still there.”

So when Fang Canran heard the place name "Linhe City", he knew that He Lingchuan was playing tricks on him.

Fang Canran swallowed and thought for a while before asking:

"In other words, what you saw was all by chance and had nothing to do with your coming to Lingxu City?"

"You know, I was entrusted by Prince Chiyan to investigate the case, and I came to Lingxu City by chance." He Lingchuan said word by word, "But after seeing the ring on your hand, I feel that I still need to ask clearly. "

Fang Canran immediately asked, "Why do you need to ask clearly, what is the relationship between Shao Jian and you?"

"Of course it is related." He Lingchuan whispered, "He has never stood at the forefront of history, but he has disrupted the order of the divine world. So broadly speaking, what he did is related to everyone. Bye. Thanks to him, the disappearance of spiritual energy in the world has slowed down. From more than a hundred years ago to sixty years ago, Emperor Liujian was a frequent visitor to the world. "

Fang Canran listened expressionlessly, feeling overwhelmed.

To be honest, the relationship between the divine world and the human world, the imperial liquid and spiritual energy, these relationships are not shocking secrets among the real upper-class people. After all, there are many smart people in the world, and those who know the truth pretend to be confused.

But it's terrifying that He Xiao can accurately tell the connection between Di Liujian and Shao Jian!

This means that the young man in front of him knows a lot about Shao Jian's life and beliefs.

Fang Canran even felt that he had become transparent in front of He Xiao. This feeling of fear that eight generations of his ancestors had been seen through made him feel cold in his heart.

Where did such a person appear from and reveal all the secrets he carefully kept?

He Lingchuan stared at him and said: "I say this because I hope Manager Fang understands that I have no ill intentions towards you, otherwise I would have reported it to the Heavenly Palace. You also know the attitude of the gods and demon emperors towards the heirs of the Yuan Kingdom, especially with Shao Jian. People with whom I have connections, no matter whether I tell the truth or not, they will take you down immediately and interrogate you severely!”

If Fang Canran hadn't suddenly attacked him, he would have wanted to observe more carefully. After all, he had enough troubles already.

But Fang Canran broke through the window paper first, and He Lingchuan wanted to take advantage of the situation. He doesn't ask Shao Jian's descendants to become his friends, but he needs help.

His help in Lingxu City was too little. Unfortunately, this action is difficult to complete by yourself.

Fang Canran has worked hard in Lingxu for many years, and his resources and connections are many times richer than his own. It would be a good helper if he could borrow them.

Of course, first of all, both parties must have a foundation of honesty and mutual trust, which is the most difficult step to take.

Fang Canran was silent.

Indeed, as He Xiao said, Lingxu City is crazy and unreasonable when it comes to matters involving the Ancient Yuan Kingdom. The reaction can only be described as "stress", not to mention the name "Shao Jian"...

This young man seemed to recognize the Tiangong Du Yunshi. All he had to do was go to Bai Ziqi and say a few words, and the thunder would come down.

The chief steward of the Golden Horn family may sound powerful to ordinary people, but in fact he is worthless in front of divine power!

Many thoughts ran through his mind: "Why didn't you report it?"

"No matter what other people say, I admire Mr. Shao as a person, and I don't want his descendants to be persecuted again." He Lingchuan said seriously, "Of course, we have to calculate the losses you caused me tonight."

"..." Fang Canran felt relieved. Since the other party started talking about money, his biggest crisis has passed. "It is necessary. I will give Mr. He 50,000 taels as a shock payment."

Everything is easier if you have money. A few days ago, in order to buy frost-patterned silver, He Lingchuan got credit from Li Qingge: "The flash thunder you just threw is good, what is it called?"

"Soul-shaking bombs." Fang Canran swallowed, "I still have two more. They were collected from other places more than ten years ago."

"I want five." He Lingchuan pointed to the broken mirror by the door, "Can this heart-piercing mirror be repaired?"

"...I'll find someone to fix it."

"Okay, it'll be mine after it's fixed."

The treasures this kid wants are very expensive. But what right does Fang Canran have to say no now?

"By the way, I'll need a lot of intelligence in the future. Manager Fang, you have many connections and a wide network of people--" The last few words were dragged out.

He gave Fang Canran a chance, don't waste it.

Fang Canran closed his eyes: "I will definitely try my best to find out."

Seeing that the benefits were basically all there, He Lingchuan rubbed his hands: "Okay, if Brother Fang doesn't bother me anymore in the future, we can shake hands and make peace now, just pretend that nothing happened tonight, how about it?"

Fang Canran looked at him for a long time before nodding: "It's a deal!"

He Lingchuan grabbed the knot on his arm and gently pulled it, and the complicated lock suddenly untied itself, so fast that Fang Canran didn't understand what was going on, and felt a lightness behind his neck--

He Lingchuan pulled out the silver needle that sealed the acupoints.

Fang Canran moved his wrist and looked at He Lingchuan with a complicated and incomprehensible look.

Although he didn't think that the young man would kill someone in Yuexiang Villa, it was still beyond Fang Canran's expectation that he let him go so easily under the premise of having all the advantages - money, magic tools and other things were nothing at this time -.

On the surface, it seemed that He Lingchuan was expressing his sincerity.

But Fang Canran understood that generosity came from self-confidence: self-confidence that he could control him at any time and was not afraid of his revenge at all.

Just as He Lingchuan said, it was too easy for him to deal with Fang Canran, just go to the Heavenly Palace to report Shao Jian's descendants. But Fang Canran couldn't catch any handle on him.

If it were someone else, they might threaten him to death.

But this young man...

Alas, how could he lose so thoroughly tonight? Fang Canran sighed secretly, pointed out 50,000 taels of silver notes and handed them over: "Give me the money first, prepare the rest, and present it in a few days."

This tacitly acknowledged that he had at least five soul-shaking bombs.

The pond fire in the hall kept smoldering, keeping the house warm as spring.

Fang Canran grabbed the cast iron kettle, went outside to fetch a kettle of spring water, put it on the fire, and picked up a persimmon at the table and handed one to He Lingchuan: "Would you like a four-sided persimmon? It's from the 200-year-old persimmon tree at the back, and it's very sweet."

This kind of persimmon has obvious longitudinal grooves on the peel, and the whole thing looks like a small cube, not as round as other persimmons.

He Lingchuan waved his hand: "I dare not, the anti-poison pill I took has worn off."

Fang Canran smiled embarrassedly, bowed to him and said: "I'm sorry for offending you before, I hope Mr. He will forgive me!" Then he personally moved a chair over, "Please sit down."

This man's mentality adjusted very quickly, and He Lingchuan wanted to hear what he had to say, so he sat down and didn't say a word.

Fang Canran said seriously: "I think Mr. He is a person with secrets-just like me."

The two of them kept testing each other, "If we can't trust each other sincerely, the previous conversation at Pianxiang Villa is just a waste of time."

He Lingchuan nodded. Without the foundation of trust, there is no way to communicate in depth.

"Then I have a suggestion." Fang Canran got up and went upstairs. After a dozen breaths, he came back with something in his hand.

He Lingchuan was a little surprised, because this general manager actually brought down a pair of shackles!

"What is this?"

Fang Canran threw the shackles into the fire, and took them out after dozens of breaths, and put them in He Lingchuan's hands.

They were cold.

The heat of the flames did not transfer to the shackles at all.

"This is a good thing, called the Oath Chain, a treasure I collected from an overseas alchemist five years ago, and there are only two of them."

He Lingchuan picked it up to check. The two handcuffs were dark, and the chain connecting them was engraved with countless inscriptions, all in the language of immortals.

"An ancient item?"

"And it can still be used today." Fang Canran pointed at it, "You got the hint as soon as you got the chain, right? This is a strange item burned in the Demon Heart Furnace. Two people who make a contract or a deal wear one each and then swear on it. If either party fails to execute or breaks the oath, they will be severely punished and die from the backlash of the demon in their heart. Even the ancient immortals could not resist this punishment, so it is widely used in contracts, and there are only a few left. Well, if a date is set for execution, any party who deliberately delays will also be punished."

There is such a treasure? He Lingchuan understood: "Mr. Fang wants to make an agreement with me?"

No wonder Fang Canran was not afraid of offending him before, it turned out that he had wanted to use this treasure.

"Yes, let's make a gentleman's agreement not to murder each other in any form, that is, not to attack, report, frame, or betray each other directly or indirectly, otherwise they will die from the backlash of the demon in their heart."
