Chapter 666: The Unseen Imperial Master

He Lingchuan's eyes flashed: "Has the Imperial Master appeared?"

Bai Ziqi shook his head: "I was polite first and then sent troops. I asked to see the imperial advisor alone, but I didn't expect them to let me in at all. They didn't even open the big or small doors."

That means I haven't seen him before. He Lingchuan pondered: "Is there someone guarding the back mountain?"

"Yes, we also captured some Qing Palace disciples, but they are of little use."

Fu Shanyue sneered: "Even if they escape from the back mountain, can they still sneak out of Lingxu City?"

Lingxu City is so vast, and the Qing Palace is in the center of the lower city, so the escape radius is too large. If Lingxu City issued a wanted notice, it would be like a dragnet.

"The dog jumped over the wall. Besides, Imperial Master Qingyang may not be thinking about escaping." He Lingchuan asked Bai Ziqi, "Do you think Imperial Master Qingyang is no longer inside?"

Fu Shanyue frowned, and Bai Ziqi took a deep look at He Lingchuan: "He Xiao is smart."

"It's not an escape, but it's not inside either. So where else can Imperial Master Qingyang go..." Before he finished speaking, Fushan Yue Chang said, "How dare she enter the palace to ask for help?"

"Why don't you dare? I have a mountain of ironclad evidence. She will die if she stays here. If she enters the palace and takes a chance, she may still have a chance." Bai Ziqi's face was solemn, and his usual smile had long been removed. "She and the two The emperor has deep feelings, and if he is moved by his feelings at this time, there may not be a chance of success. "

He Lingchuan was also a little moved.

Bai Ziqi suddenly came to visit, and the Qingyang Imperial Master probably didn't know that he had caught Kong Jiaxiang, who had slipped through the Qingfu Temple. And Bai Ziqi will definitely hide his troops under the mountain first, come to the door with a smile on his face, and make the best use of his approachable qualities.

But this national master's sense of crisis is really powerful.

She actually didn't let Bai Ziqi in even one step. Once the door was closed, all the Tiangong guards were blocked out.

The Tiangong Guards also have places in Lingxu City that they cannot enter. This may be the first time in Bejia's history.

Hmm, no, Imperial Master Qingyang might have an insider in Xushan and know that the Tiangong Guards were suddenly mobilized in large numbers. But Bai Ziqi arrived so quickly that she was still caught off guard.

If Bai Ziqi dares to come, he has caught enough evidence!

"According to this, the main entrance of the Qing Palace is tightly closed, and there is no way to resist. Is it just a cover-up?" He Lingchuan asked Bai Ziqi, "Did Ambassador Bai make other arrangements?"

"No matter where she is now, if she wants to go to Lingxiao Peak, she has to pass through Jinghong Ferry." Bai Ziqi said solemnly, "I have sent three hundred Heavenly Palace guards to Jinghong Ferry to screen the passers-by. I hope it's not too late!"

The palace is on Lingxiao Peak, which is on Tianxin Island. Except for flying birds, the only way to enter and exit Tianxin Island is through the teleportation circle of Jinghongdu.

Bai Ziqi had besieged Qing Palace for less than an hour, and he was very thoughtful. He increased his troops in time to rush across the border, and he might be able to get ahead of the Qingyang Imperial Master.

Imperial Master Qingyang is a famous person in Lingxu City and a frequent visitor to Jinghongdu. His face is not easy to get away with.

He Lingchuan's eyes flashed slightly.

The customs security inspection at Jinghongdu is indeed strict, but illegal immigration has never been eliminated. At such a critical moment where life is at stake, with the ability of Qingyang Imperial Master and the rare treasures he possesses, is there really no way to successfully smuggle him out?

He felt vaguely in his heart that Tiangong's screening of Jinghongdu would not be of any use. Qingyang Imperial Master should not be captured that easily.

Of course, this cannot be said in front of Bai Ziqi.

Deputy Du Yun frowned with a vertical line in the middle of his brow and was thinking about his next move.

"What if..." Fu Shanyue coughed, "I mean, if Imperial Master Qingyang sneaks past Jinghongdu and enters the palace to seek mercy from the emperor. What will Bai Dushi plan to do?"

This is a key question. He and Bai Ziqi had been working for so long and offended so many people just to catch the murderer behind the scenes.

Seeing that success was in sight, he was absolutely unwilling to take any further steps.

"Her search was in vain. The emperor is not at Lingxiao Peak." Bai Ziqi curled his lips, "The gods invited him to go to Xu Mountain."

He Lingchuan immediately gave a thumbs up.

This move will bring down the fire, absolutely!

So Qingyang Imperial Master went through all the trouble to get to Tianxin Island, but it was all in vain?

Bai Ziqi and Imperial Master Qingyang had already been secretly fighting each other several times before they met above.

They are indeed powerful.

He Lingchuan interjected: "This case has been pointed at Qing Palace for a long time. Hasn't Imperial Master Qingyang destroyed all the personal and material evidence at hand?"

Even the common people and the students of the Imperial Academy are hotly discussing the relationship between Qing Palace and the Immortal Case.

"As far as I know, in the past month, several members of the Qing Palace disciples have disappeared. Some are senior disciples of the Qingyang Kingdom, and some are important figures in the Qing Palace. The Qing Palace said they were sent to other places to do things, but in fact these people went to the whole country. None." The battle between Bai Ziqi and Qingyang Imperial Master did not begin today. "However, not all evidence can be destroyed."

"Have you mastered it?"

"That's right! It was given by Kong Jiaxiang." Bai Ziqi smiled a little at He Lingchuan, "Qingyang Imperial Master also knows very well, otherwise Qing Palace wouldn't have this reaction today."

He Lingchuan frowned: "But there is no direct connection between Kong Jiaxiang and Qing Palace. Can the evidence he gave convict Imperial Master Qingyang?"

"Qingyang Imperial Master is cautious, why would he appoint an outsider to manage the accounts of the immortality medicine? Such a major event requires a confidant to keep a close eye on it." Bai Ziqi's eyes were full of sarcasm, "I interrogated Kong Jiaxiang and found out that he had been working in the account office of Qing Palace fifteen years ago. Because he dug up several bad accounts and found several fat borers, he was appreciated by Qingyang Imperial Master and was given land and houses, but he was not promoted. Later, he was sent to other places for three years. On the surface, he broke off contact with Qing Palace, and then he was transferred back to Qingfu Temple to manage the immortality medicine and funds. I found the old gatekeeper who guarded the side door of Qing Palace ten years ago. The person, the matter, and the time all match."

He paused: "Who do you think his contact person in Qing Palace is?"

He Lingchuan shook his head of course.

"Lu Qingzhou."

Fu Shanyue exclaimed: "Lu Qingzhou who died a few days ago?"

Half a month ago, Qingyang Imperial Master's disciple Lu Qingzhou went out of the palace to visit his wife and children, but died suddenly at home.

So this person was Kong Jiaxiang's contact person? He deserved to die.

"She killed someone who was loyal to Qingyang Imperial Master?"

He Lingchuan felt something was wrong.

Qingyang Imperial Master killed even a loyal disciple like Lu Qingzhou, which meant that he was prepared to resist to the end.

But why did she run away now?

This behavior itself is inconsistent.

He saw that Bai Ziqi's eyebrows were still tied, and his face was gloomy. He wondered if he was also thinking about these strange things.

Kong Jiaxiang survived inexplicably, which was also a suspicious point. Bai Ziqi would not be unaware of it. But even he couldn't find any problems, so it could be considered that there was no problem, and the investigation could continue.

Bai Ziqi said again: "But the emperor has to return to the palace. Your Highness is right, I have to send someone to the palace to take a look." After that, he turned around and left in a hurry.

With the important matters at hand, his etiquette was not as thorough as usual.

He Lingchuan looked at Fu Shanyue, and his smile disappeared all of a sudden: "Why is Your Highness still here?"

"Huh?" Fu Shanyue was startled, "Is there a problem?"

He Lingchuan looked around.

The meaning was very clear, and Fu Shanyue immediately pulled him into a tent with roadblocks where there was no one else. Then he put up a barrier:

"Go ahead."

"Why did Envoy Bai come to attack Qing Palace so loudly when he just returned to Lingxu City?"

"Are you afraid that someone will report to Qingyang State Master?"

"Envoy Bai has already said that the evidence he has cannot be destroyed by Qingyang State Master, which means he is sure to win." With Bai Ziqi's style of doing things, he dared to say such things, which means he was sure of winning. "Since the evidence is as strong as a mountain and he is not afraid of changing his confession, why did he rush here? Why not submit the evidence to the Heavenly Palace step by step, and let the Heavenly Palace inform the Emperor, and then the Emperor will order the arrest of Qingyang State Master?"

"Uh..." Fu Shanyue thought for a while, "Are you afraid that Qingyang State Master will run away?"

"Do you really think that with Qingyang State Master's current status and position, he will run away?"

"No." Fu Shanyue touched his nose and thought about it seriously, "Well, it's hard to say."

Ordinary people would run away in such a situation, and even Fu Shanyue himself might slip away and choose the best plan.

But Qingyang State Master...

Her high moral character, her overwhelming power, her fame, her achievements, all of these were given by Lingxu City.

If she were to flee Lingxu now, it would be a complete denial of her nearly 200 years of life.

Just like when Panlong City was broken, Zhong Shengguang could have escaped, but in the end he chose to commit suicide, fulfilling his oath of "the city survives as long as the people live, the city dies and the people die".

He Lingchuan only met Qingyang State Master once, and he never really got to know this person deeply.

But that's the feeling she gave him.

A lifetime of busyness, all in vain, and no chance of making a comeback. This kind of frustration and powerlessness is more painful than death for such a proud and arrogant person.

She has long been deeply bound to her past and unbreakable.

Fu Shanyue was not stupid either. He figured it out in a blink of an eye: "Is Bai Ziqi afraid that the emperor will be soft-hearted and let Qingyang State Master go?"

Even Bai Ziqi thought that Qingyang State Master might rush to Lingxiao Peak to meet the emperor.

He also sent people to intercept.

So all the key lies in the emperor.

He Lingchuan nodded: "I am an outsider and don't know much about the relationship between Lingxu and Tiangong. But Bai Ziqi dared to attack Qinggong under the eyes of the dignitaries and people in the main city. Could it be his own idea?"

Fu Shanyue shook his head very straightforwardly.

Everyone knows that Du Yunshi's actions represent the will of the gods.

This action clearly shows the attitude of the gods:

Never tolerate!

But this is too disrespectful to the emperor. The gods sent envoys to Qinggong to "invite people" without even sending a note!

"So there may be a disagreement between the gods and the emperor on this matter." He Lingchuan reminded him, "At this time, your highness is mixed with Bai Dushi and the Tiangong guards, in the camp of the gods attacking Qinggong! What do you think the emperor's expression will be when he knows it?"

Will he take it out on him? The emperor can't do anything to the gods, so can't he do anything to Fu Shanyue?

Fu Shanyue thought about this and said decisively: "Let's go! Let's go down the mountain now."

There is no need to squeeze into the first row to watch the fun, as it is easy to be hit by rotten eggs.
