Chapter 196 Character Design
“Heyuan Town is within the scope of Shilongteng’s activities,” Li Chuan told his discovery, saying: “After Shilongteng died, where are the other big monsters now? "
"No," Jin Rong replied, "After the death of King Black Horn, most of his subordinates took refuge in Suliuhe. These monsters only knew King Black Horn and Shilong Teng. After a fight, it was not clear that Shilong Fujino died in the secret realm of Xuanshui Mountain. To a monster, disappearing for a year, two years, or even ten or twenty years is nothing."< br>
“They still don’t know that Shilongteng is dead?” Li Chuan heard what Jin Rong meant.
“Yes, the spirit fish demon in Suliu Lake helped Prince Su leave the capital, and the stone dragon vine demon in Long Yunlin worked as a lobbyist for the black horned demon for Prince Su. They were obviously in the same group. Therefore, it is reasonable for the people of the Lingyu Demon to take Prince Su and flee to Shilongteng's territory." Jin Rong said, taking out the Great Demon Collection in Li Chuan's hand and said, "I just don't know. What other great monsters are on Prince Su’s side?”
"He is a prince, but he hangs out with the big monster. It is really hateful." Li Chuan said. Then, he doubted and said: "I don't know, what benefits did he promise them? In order to save him, King Lingyu broke into the capital and went up to Yanqing Mountain. Before he decided to die, he forcibly killed someone. Send it out."
Zhu Qingyun said: "It must be a great benefit if he is here. With the support of the great demons and inheriting the unification, the great Jiang Dynasty may have to set aside more than half of its territory for those great demons.”
“Someone suggested to your majesty before that we could find a way. Provoke a fight between the big demons and let them fight to the death, then we can reap the benefits. " Jin Rong sighed and said: "But your Majesty vetoed it."
Li Chuan thought this method was good, so he asked: "Why vetoed it?"
Jin Rong replied: "It is said that His Majesty was That said, when big demons fight, it's not like fighting cocks and crickets. They are in a circle. Fight inside, don't go out. When the time comes, they will fight with their ferocious nature, destroying mountains and flooding seas, causing harm to thousands of miles away. I don't know how many innocent people will lose their lives. What's more, this is not a permanent solution. Today's big monsters. No more, maybe some immortal’s mount will come down to earth again tomorrow.”
Li Chuan felt that what the empress said was quite reasonable.
After chatting for a while, Li Chuan found that Wen Guying would not speak up about issues related to the court, but he knew everything about Xuanmen practice.
Jin Rong obviously also discovered this, so they stopped talking about the court affairs.
In the evening, a man dressed as a butler came over and said that the food was ready. They moved inside and chatted while eating. After they were almost done eating, Zhu Qingyun said goodbye and left, and refused to see them off.
Zhu Qingyun walked away gracefully, but Li Chuan was a little worried.
Jin Rong saw Li Chuan's expression and said: "The identity of the evil cultivator has been clearly investigated. He is an outer disciple of a small sect. After learning some unskilled soul cultivation methods, he just bullied him at first. He wanted to take revenge on others, and then he started killing people indiscriminately. Junior sister is very experienced in this kind of cases, so there is no need to worry."
He then talked about a few cases that Zhu Qingyun had handled, like a storyteller. The process of handling the case was told in an extremely tortuous manner, which attracted the public to ask questions.
Li Chuan was fascinated by what he heard, and the atmosphere became lively again.
......
After a few days, there was still no movement from the General's Mansion, but the empress came to invite Wen Guying to talk to Li Chuan. Wen Guying refused directly, and Li Chuanyuan didn't want to go either, but after Jin Rong persuaded him, he changed his mind.
He received money from the Dajiang Dynasty, and this status really made it easier for him to do things. Qin Tianjian was also kind to him, and Jin Rong was his life and death friend. Moreover, he was also somewhat curious about the palace and the empress.
The empress met them at Qingsi Palace.
After saluting, Li Chuan looked up to see the empress's appearance. He felt that she was very powerful. What she looked like specifically, he couldn't tell.
After the empress asked him nonchalantly about his relationship with Wen Guying and Xuanmen, and after he responded briefly, she seemed to have lost the conversation, rewarded him with some gold and silver, and let him go. He left.
After walking out of the palace, Jin Rong praised him for his courage and said: "The first time I saw His Majesty, I didn't dare to express my anger, but you actually looked up directly!"
Li Chuan thought it didn't matter and said, "They have two eyes and one mouth, and they're not monsters. What's there to be afraid of?" After returning, Gong Er Pang San was very interested and asked him how big the palace was and how beautiful the empress was. Not beautiful, have you met the princess, etc. Li Chuan answered in a daze, feeling it was much more difficult than dealing with the empress' question.
Two days later, Chang Xiao finally came.
He did not go to Qintian Prison, but went directly to Jin Rong's residence in Sanyi Hutong.
After meeting Li Chuan, he immediately apologized and said: "After I returned to the capital, I have been cultivating in Zhuangzi. It was not until yesterday that I knew that Mr. Li Chuan had come to the capital."
Then, he asked people to move the things off the carriage. He said: "I know that Mr. does not like gold and silver, and only likes to read, so I brought some ancient books, calligraphy and paintings from the house, and asked Mr. not to push them away. Refuse."
Li Chuan couldn't help but express his expression again. Where did this general's adopted son get such inaccurate information?
After seeing Li Chuan's expression, Chang Xiao thought that Li Chuan thought these books, calligraphy and paintings were too precious, so he said: "It's just a small thank you gift. Compared with Mr.'s great kindness, it is not worth mentioning at all." . Moreover, my family is full of rough people who practice martial arts. These things in my home are like pearls covered with dust." After hearing this, Jin Rong looked through them with interest. First surprised, then cautious, he said: "I didn't expect that there are such collections in the general's house."
Chang Xiao explained: "They were all given by others." Then he said to Li Chuan again : "Mr. Li, just accept it."
Li Chuan understood the preciousness of these things and knew that Chang Xiao was sincere, so he said, "Then I will accept it."
After that, they went into the room to talk.
Li Chuan looked at Chang Xiao carefully and thought he looked good, so he asked: "How is your health now? Is there anything uncomfortable about you?"
Chang Xiao said: "Everyone Okay. I have slowly come back to my sword skills. I felt that I had reached a bottleneck before. Now that I have started practicing again, I have a different understanding. Maybe I can make a breakthrough."
"Then... you leave the capital. Still can't remember what happened next?" Li Chuan asked.
Chang Xiao shook his head and said, "I can't remember."
"Can't remember at all?" Li Chuan asked.
"My mind is blank, but..."
"But what?"
"I remember everything before leaving the capital." Chang Xiao replied. He said: "When I was in Zhuangzi, I did not see any outsiders, but I had a dream."
"What dream?" Li Chuan asked.
Chang Xiao said: "In the dream, I was trapped in the darkness, and then a voice kept talking to me, telling me not to forget, and never to forget."
