Chapter 1213 Conditions
“You want me to help investigate the second prince?”
Liang Yan frowned. Xuanyuan Qi had a special status. Once he agreed to his words, he would be involved in Xuanyuan City. In the midst of overt and covert fighting.
I have obtained the holy energy of the mountains and rivers, successfully cultivated into the Sword Infant, and the purpose of my trip to the Xuanyuan Region has been achieved. Logically speaking, I should not participate in this kind of dispute, but should rush back to Wushuang City to practice in seclusion as soon as possible.
But now Li Xiaosong is dying, and Liang Yan still can't bear to watch her die.
After a moment of silence, Liang Yan looked at Xuanyuan Qi and Pei Xinhai, and said calmly: "Okay, since this is what we said, Lu will agree to this! But I won't stay here for too long. , if after the end of the 'Wentai Treasure Fighting Conference', If we still can’t investigate, then Lu can only say goodbye.”
“Thank you, Brother Lu, for your help!” 'After the end of the investigation, if there is no result yet, , which proves that my judgment is wrong. When the time comes, Senior Pei will just tell Brother Lu the location of the cave, and I will pay the corresponding spiritual stones as compensation!"
"Okay, it's a deal! "Pei Xinhai laughed loudly and pointed at Liang Yangong again. Liao cupped his hands and said: "My little friend and I met for the first time. Since you are Xuanyuan Qi's friend, you are also my friend. According to what I just said, I will give you this stone as a deposit!"
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Pei."
Liang Yan smiled slightly, raised his hand and cast a spell, put the strange stone filled with pure Yang power into the jade box, and finally put it into his storage ring.
After accepting the strange rocks, the three of them left the treasure pavilion, returned through the secret passage, and returned to Pei Xinhai's study.
After a few people sat down again, Liang Yan asked straight to the point:
"Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan, how do you plan to investigate the second prince's affairs?"
Xuanyuan Qi After pondering for a moment, he slowly said: "According to my secret investigations these days, it seems that the second brother is already in Guangling City. I started to pick some female cultivators from foreign chambers of commerce. I don’t have enough evidence, but my second brother is extravagant and extravagant, and he pays attention to ostentation. Before he even arrived in Guangling City, he had already ordered someone to build a temple outside the city. A magnificent palace, if my prediction is correct, those female nuns are likely to be imprisoned in this palace!”
"You mean, you want Lu to help you investigate this palace?"
"No." Xuanyuan Qi smiled and shook his head: "The palace where the second brother is located is heavily guarded. There is at least one A master at the level of a god is here. Brother Lu and I are just acquaintances. How can we let you take this risk?"
"Then why are you looking for Lu?" Liang Yan's face showed. There was a hint of doubt.
“Actually, I want Brother Lu to deliver a message for me.”
“Send a message?”
"Exactly." Xuanyuan Qi smiled slightly, "As far as I know, I am not the only one who is secretly investigating the second brother, the sixth sister is also targeting him! It's just that now the forces in the DPRK and China are controlled by the second brother, and around us There are not many people available, and the second brother will target him if he makes the slightest move, so neither of us dares to contact him publicly."
"You need an intermediary to pass on the news?" Liang Yan said with some surprise. said.
"Brother Lu is right, and it is best for this intermediary to be completely clean, a casual cultivator from outside the Xuanyuan Territory, and someone who has no connection with Xuanyuan City. Brother Lu perfectly meets these requirements. In addition, Your cultivation level is not weak, and my second brother won’t do it easily without complete evidence. Touch you."
"That's it."
Liang Yan finally understood after hearing this. It turned out that Xuanyuan Qi was interested in his identity as a casual cultivator and his strong cultivation. Because, he wanted to let himself help pass the news between him and Xuanyuan Lingwei.
"This is a good method!" Pei Xinhai nodded and said in a deep voice: "The power of the second prince is now at its peak. If nephew Xuanyuan wants to continue the investigation, he cannot do it alone. He must find more allies. I have also heard of the name of the Sixth Princess Xuanyuan Lingwei. She is a person who hates evil and cares about the common people. Finding her as an ally is indeed a great help!"
< br>When he said this, he looked at Liang Yan next to him and said with a smile: "It's just that this thing is going to be hard, little friend. Although it seems simple, it is actually very risky."< br>
“Lu accepted this task.”
To the surprise of the two of them, Liang Yan only hesitated for a moment and then calmly accepted the task.
Because this matter does not have much impact on him, if it were someone else, he would have to consider it, but the person the other party asked him to contact happened to be Xuanyuan Lingwei. He and the Sixth Princess could talk We are very familiar with it, and there is nothing to worry about such things as sending messages.
The only thing I have some concerns about is the second prince. Once the matter is exposed, he may be angered by it.
But he has the Tianji Pearl to cover his aura and change his identity. Even if the three of them start a war, he will still be helping as "Lu Musheng", and he will not be traced afterwards.
After weighing the difficulty of the task, Liang Yan finally decided to accept it. If things went well, he would be able to get the news about the Pure Yang Fire, and Li Xiaosong would be saved. This deal is a good deal no matter how you look at it. of.
Xuanyuan Qi didn't seem to expect that Liang Yan would agree so readily. He was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
“Hahaha, Brother Lu is really loyal!”
As he spoke, he took out a jade box from his sleeve and placed it on the coffee table between the three of them.
“This is some intelligence and evidence that I have collected, which is enough to prove that this matter is inextricably linked to the second brother. No matter what method Brother Lu uses, please help me pass it on to the sixth sister. "
Liang Yan glanced at the jade box on the table and found eight talismans attached to the seal, with many simple inscriptions painted on them. It was obviously to prevent someone from opening it in advance, and special techniques were required. Turn it on.
As for the person who has mastered this special technique, you know without even thinking about it, it must be Xuanyuan Lingwei.
Liang Yan put the wooden box on the table into the storage ring, and then said: "Fellow Taoist Xuanyuan, don't worry, since Lu has accepted this task, he will definitely send this item to His Highness the Sixth Prince. Hands on, but how can I contact you later?”
"Brother Lu, as long as you go to the shop of Jialan Chamber of Commerce, someone will naturally contact you. If I have something to tell Xuanyuan Lingwei through you, I will also ask the guys from Jialan Chamber of Commerce to find you."
"good."
Liang Yan nodded. He understood now that it was difficult for Xuanyuan Qi and Xuanyuan Lingwei to have direct contact. The Jialan Chamber of Commerce was Xuanyuan Qi’s informant, and he was Xuanyuan Lingwei. informant.
"By the way, my sixth sister is not so easy to see. Brother Lu may have to think of something. This jade box must be given to her in person and cannot be handed over to a third party." Xuanyuan Qi He warned with some worry.
"In addition, we are short of manpower. If there is a war with my second brother, I hope that fellow Daoist Lu can help me. But don't worry, there will naturally be others on the general's side to deal with it. You just need to help We have captured the second brother. This will be considered a great achievement. After we have accomplished this, we will not only tell you the news about the Pure Yang Fire, but we will also send people to assist fellow Taoists to collect it.”
Liang Yan frowned slightly after hearing this and sighed secretly in his heart.
There is no free gift in this world. It is unrealistic to get pure Yang fire just by sending a message. In the final analysis, you still have to help yourself.
However, Liang Yan didn’t have any objections, because he knew that this was the nature of transactions. If he didn’t pay reciprocally, how could others be willing to do it?
“Okay, I promise you!”
After thinking for a moment, Liang Yan finally agreed. "Great!"
Xuanyuan Qi was very happy. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He smiled and said: "With Brother Lu's help, our chances of winning have increased a bit. Evil laws are causing chaos in the country, and this matter affects many people in Xuanyuan Territory. I still hope for the monk’s life. Fellow Taoist can act with caution!"
"Of course."
Liang Yan nodded, the covenant was made, and the three of them discussed some details in the room, and they went their separate ways at sunset. Say goodbye and leave.
It was already evening when Liang Yan returned to Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce.
He did not go back to his room, but went straight to the study where Qianlong was, and soon found the third elder.
"Palace Master Liang?"
Seeing Liang Yan's arrival, Qianlong was not surprised at all, but had a look of regret on his face.
"While you were out these days, I also sent many more people to the Chamber of Commerce, but unfortunately I still haven't found any news about the Pure Yang Fire." Qianlong sighed, looking a little helpless.
"Elder Gan does not need to blame himself. I know this is not easy, but Liang gained something from this trip."
"Huh?"
Qianlong was obviously a little surprised. He looked at Liang Yan and asked, "There is actually a pure Yang fire at the sub-sage level in Tianxiangfang City?"
"Tianxiangfang City?" Liang Yan shook his head and said, "The Chamber of Commerce over there Although there are hundreds of them, most of them are just a ragtag group of people with little strength. How can there be pure Yang fire at the sub-sage level?"
"Then you are..."
"Jialan Chamber of Commerce." Liang Yan slowly spit out four words.
Upon hearing these four words, Qianlong's expression immediately changed slightly.
"Have you gone to find the Jialan Chamber of Commerce?" The man asked again uncertainly.
“Yes, Pei Xinhai from the Jialan Chamber of Commerce told me that he knows that there is a place in Xuanyuan Territory that may contain pure Yang fire at the sub-sage level. As long as I do something for him, I will inform this place. To me."
After hearing Liang Yan's answer, Qianlong frowned and fell into silence for a while.
Liang Yan was not surprised by his reaction. You must know that in the Wentai Treasure Fighting Conference in Guangling City, the biggest competitor of the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce is the Jialan Chamber of Commerce. The strength of both parties is between equals. They are usually tit-for-tat, let alone during this kind of competition. .
"Jialan Chamber of Commerce, Pei Xinhai, hum! I advise you to think clearly."
Sure enough, after a long silence, Qianlong spoke slowly, with a somewhat unkind tone.
This was within Liang Yan's expectation. The reason why he chose to speak out today's events was, firstly, to express his position and prevent the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce from falling out with him; secondly, it was also I wanted to show him the strange stone containing pure Yang fire, and let this well-informed elder of the Chamber of Commerce help me identify it.
"Elder Gan, I know that the relationship between the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce and the Jialan Chamber of Commerce is not good, but I am doing this today to save Li Xiaosong. After all, in the entire Guangling City, only their Jialan Chamber of Commerce has the reputation of Chunyang. Fire news and I can guarantee that. , What Liang promised today will never be detrimental to Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce in the slightest, and it will never help them harm the interests of Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce in the future."
Liang Yan's words were very sincere. After Qianlong heard this, his expression softened slightly.
"You said they have news about the Pure Yang Fire. How can you prove it?" Qian Long suddenly asked.
Liang Yan was waiting for his words. After hearing this, he immediately took out a three-foot-square red stone from the storage ring and handed it to the other party.
"Elder Gan, this is the strange stone given by Pei Xinhai. I made this decision because I felt the power of pure Yang fire from it."
Qianlong learned from him Taking the strange stone in his hand, he also penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness.
After a few breaths, when the man came back to his senses, he was already sweating on his forehead and his vest was cold, almost exactly the same as Liang Yan's reaction at that time.
"It's really the 'Pure Yang Fire' of the sub-sage level!"
This time even the well-informed Qianlong cried out.
Hearing his words, Liang Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. Since Qianlong said so, it proves that there is nothing wrong with the pure Yang fire
Qianlong replied God came, a complicated look appeared in his eyes, and he murmured: "I didn't expect that. , Jialan Chamber of Commerce actually has such a thing, no wonder you agreed to their request."
"The thing Liang promised them has nothing to do with the 'Wentai Treasure Fighting Conference', but I can't say it yet, please be willing. Forgive me, elder.”
"It doesn't matter."
Qianlong waved his hand and sighed: "I know the character of Palace Master Liang. It's not that I don't trust you, but that I don't trust Pei Xinhai!"
"Elder Gan is familiar with this person?" Liang Yan's heart moved and he asked hurriedly.
"Haha, we are an old rival." Qianlong smiled and said: "I advise you, don't be deceived by this person's appearance. This old thief looks kind-hearted, but in fact he is sinister. Cunning and unscrupulous, he revealed the news of Pure Yang Fire to You, this matter itself is suspicious."
"Yes." Liang Yan also nodded and agreed: "Although the Pure Yang Fire of the sub-sage level is just a piece of news, he is. It was too easy to tell.”
"Not only that, have you ever thought that even if he is willing to tell you the location of the place after the matter is completed, it does not mean that you will be able to get it. After all, this old thief only promised to tell you the location, but he never said that he would tell you the location. This pure Yang fire gave way."
"That's it!"
Liang Yan was a little confused before, but now he suddenly woke up after Qianlong said it.
"There is no businessman without treachery, and this is true all over the world. Pei Xinhai only said half of what he said. Although he promised to tell me the location of the Pure Yang Fire, he did not say that he would not snatch it. When the time comes, he will completely You can fall out, but a bad fight is inevitable Fight!"
"Now you know." Qianlong shook his head and said with a smile: "Doing business with this old thief is completely seeking skin from a tiger. Not to mention you, even Gan has eaten him. Several losses!”
