Chapter 1111: Urgent Internal Troubles

Then it stopped talking.

Dong Rui understood, and took out a bag of dried meat from his arms and handed it to it.

These were small pieces of meat that were half-dried and half-dry, just right for a bird of prey to eat one at a time.

He Lingchuan knew at a glance that this was the food for the bat demon puppet.

The eagle owl couldn't help but take a piece to taste it.

Well, it's salt-free, chewy and elastic, not bad.

It was very satisfied and immediately said: "The note for buying the lantern grass has been hanging on the billboard for too long and was blown away by the wind. I remember the note said that the buyer lives in the Hu Zi Inn!"

He Lingchuan was not concerned about where the buyer lived, but the fact that someone was looking for the lantern grass.

This shows that the buyer knew that there would be lantern grass nearby.

In addition to the Xiaoyao Sect, who else can supply the lantern grass?

"You didn't happen to see what the buyer looks like?"

"They all cover their faces, so you can't see." The eagle owl said lazily, "To be honest, even if they don't cover their faces, I can't tell you. This is the rule of the industry."

Dong Rui was unwilling to give up: "You can't tell me about their height, appearance, weight, or body shape?"

The eagle owl turned his head and ignored him.

If it breaks the rules, how can it earn food in the future?

Other monsters have to go out to find food, but as long as it stands here, it will have food delivered to its door every day.

"Then, what about the buyer of Du Yunshi?"

"Look, it's still here." The eagle owl stretched out its wings and pointed down, "It hasn't been taken away."

The three of them looked and saw a note on the upper left corner of the notice board, which read:

Purchase five pieces of Du Yunshi, sit in the living room of Liu Kezhuang, and turn two cups upside down.

The first sentence is a purchase request.

The second and third sentences are the secret code for meeting.

The buyer asked the seller Du Yunshi to sit in the hall of Liuke Village, and put two wine glasses upside down on the table, and naturally someone came out to contact him.

"No one opened the note." Dong Rui asked He Lingchuan, "Do you want to try your luck in Liuke Village?"

He Lingchuan said simply: "No, it's a waste of time if you go."

"Ah? How do you know?"

"Do you think Jin Bai and the others haven't tried it?" He Lingchuan turned to ask Diao Xiao, "Besides us, has anyone else asked about these two pieces of news recently?"

"Yes, a few big guys came to ask me half a month ago and gave me a bag of raw beef."

He Lingchuan knew he was talking about the Shadow Fang Guards. The size of Jin Bai and others is indeed outstanding among the locals.

Jin Bai also came to inquire about this news, and he will definitely try his luck in Liuke Village.

He didn't mention it when he talked to He Lingchuan just now, which means he was unlucky.

"He is not unlucky, but..." He Lingchuan looked at the note, his eyes flickered, "I think this note is a bait."

"Bait? Who is it used to catch?" The soul-catching mirror in his arms couldn't help asking, "Who would care about these two notes if they don't have the information about Mingdengcao and Du Yunshi?"

"Most people are indifferent and won't go to Liukezhuang to find buyers, so their tricks won't be exposed."

Dong Ruiqi asked: "You mean, these people don't want to buy at all, but just want to convey the message to the outside world?"

"Won't Jin Bai take the bait? He saw someone here asking for Du Yunshi, and as long as he went back to ask the head of Xiaoyao Sect, he could infer that the thief's intention was to refine the heart lamp."

Others came to check the signboard, and He Lingchuan and the other two turned around and left the ghost market.

Walking on the dirt road, Dong Rui suddenly realized: "Then when Jin Bai heard that the second son of the King of Biao had recovered from his madness, he would conclude that the Mingdengzhan was stolen by Biao."

"It's just an inference." He Lingchuan said modestly, "It's just an inference. Who dares to say that the person who wants to buy Du Yunshi must not be the royal family of Biao?"

The two talked, and Ah Hao couldn't close his mouth when listening to them:

Insane? Stealing? And the royal family of Biao!

Old Swan, what did he hear? What are these two people doing?

It's really unlucky to go out today!

He Lingchuan turned to him and smiled slightly: "It's just right, I have something to ask you."

This smile was like the coming of death in Ah Hao's eyes. He couldn't help shuddering: "You, I, I don't know anything, don't kill me!"

"Answer well, you will not only have a life, but also money." After speaking, He Lingchuan turned out a large silver ingot in his hand.

This is a big silver ingot, and the reflected moonlight illuminated Ah Hao's eyes.

He figured it out immediately: it could be exchanged for two months of meat, a dozen new clothes, and then go to Xiangxuefang on the east side of the street to be served comfortably for a few nights.

Or, keep it as capital to make more chewing tobacco to sell.

This beautiful vision of the future miraculously soothed Ah Hao's mood and made him gradually calm down: "What do you want to know?"

"We just arrived in the country of Bei and don't know much about this place. You, a local, can tell us about it?"

Then He Lingchuan asked questions and Ah Hao answered.

Before He Lingchuan set off, he also collected information about the Shining Gold Plain, but firstly, time was short, and secondly, there were many small countries here, and the flags on the city changed every few days, so the information was either incomplete or outdated - for example, the Yuan Kingdom was next to Beijia, but most people in Beijia didn't know or care how many states and counties the Yuan Kingdom had, what products it had, and who the monarch was.

Even Fang Canran couldn't recite the names of all the small countries on the Shining Gold Plain.

He Lingchuan only has a superficial knowledge of the country where the incident happened this time, and he still needs to ask the local natives for the details.

Ah Hao is less than 25 years old this year, but he is older than the country because this country has only been established for 13 years.

The country of Wei is about the same size as the country of Fu, and it is also a small country. Although it is located on a mountain and faces the sea, it has a good natural harbor, and its natural resource endowment is far better than that of Fu country, its fate is very bumpy.

Within eighty years, seven kingdoms had changed here.

The shortest term was that of the former monarch. He only reigned for thirty-five days before he was usurped by the current king. He was imprisoned for half a year without any news. It is said that he died in depression.

King Wei was originally an important minister of the former dynasty. When he usurped power, he was at the age when he knew the destiny of heaven. He is now over sixty.

Since he came to power, he has fought three wars with other countries, during which he suppressed domestic rebels twice. He started by usurping power. If he can usurp power, others will naturally want to follow suit.

These rebel leaders are all generals of the former dynasty. They have troops and land and are very difficult to fight.

It was only thirteen years since the founding of the country, and seven of the seven years of it were at war. As a result, the domestic environment was turbulent. However, it borrowed heavily in order to fight the war, and it still owes a large sum of money to its creditors. In the past few years, it has not even paid interest. I can barely afford it.

The money had to be paid back, so the people had to increase taxes, which caused the fields to be abandoned and people and businesses to flee.

Civilians like Ah Hao fled to the port to find food because they couldn't survive in their hometown.

He Lingchuan asked about the situation of the royal family of King Hong again.

After Ah Hao finished speaking, he knew why King Fan was anxious:

King Wei had four sons in total, the eldest son was killed by himself six years ago;

The second son has extraordinary talents and is the most popular with King Chu. However, a year ago, he went crazy while practicing Qigong and became insane.

The third son drowned before he reached adulthood;

The fourth son is only seven years old and very young.

In fact, this old man is quite capable of giving birth, but he keeps giving birth to daughters. There are thirteen princesses in total, and the boy he longs for cannot be born alive.

Dong Rui interjected: "How old is this second prince?"

Ahao thought for a while: "It seems to be twenty-five-six?"

"How is King Wei's health?"

Ahao looked around and saw no one: "I don't know."

Dong Rui smiled and said: "No wonder he must get a bright light, because he is afraid that there will be no successors."

King Wei is already over sixty years old, and his fourth son is only seven years old, so there is no hope for him. If anything happens to him, the country of Fan, which has only been founded for thirteen years, may have to change his surname again.

If the second prince's sanity returns to normal, he will be able to solve King Fan's innermost worries.

He Lingchuan pondered: "How much do you know about the second prince's gradual recovery of consciousness?"

Ah Hao shook his head blankly: "Well, that's all I know."

It has only been announced nationwide in the past two days.

Dong Rui looked at him sideways: "Then you are of no use."

Ah Hao froze and said immediately: "No, no, no, I can go and find out!"

Dong Rui sneered: "What kind of inside story can you, a little port gangster, get?"

"Yes, I can!" Ah Hao said quickly, "Our gang leader's godfather is on duty in the palace and is the deputy chief of the imperial guard! He often sends two men to the dock to collect tributes. These two and I The guards are very familiar with each other, and they are very well-informed, especially about matters in the palace! They know everything from what Concubine Mei had for breakfast to which palace member lost money."

He swallowed his saliva: "Based on the days, these two people will come to collect the money tomorrow, uh, the day after tomorrow at the latest. I, I can inquire about information for you two. Don't talk about this, even the information about Wudu can be Got it!”

"Okay." He Lingchuan raised his hand and threw the big silver to him, "You have to spend money to do what you like."

Ah Hao caught it and was about to thank him. The ghost monkey on his shoulder pinched his chin and opened his mouth. Dong Rui threw a pill into his mouth and pressed it on his throat.

Ah Hao felt that the "pill" seemed to twist twice in his throat, and then he swallowed it.

The aftertaste in the throat is a bit bitter and fishy. He was afraid and said: "What, what is this?"

"The intestinal worm will attack in five days." Dong Rui smiled, "Within five days, you have to bring news in exchange for the antidote, and you have to keep it secret for us, otherwise the worm will turn into a moth and bite through the intestines and rupture the abdomen. Come out. This is my exclusive secret technique. It won’t work no matter what doctor you ask. If you don’t believe it, just go to the doctor.”

How can such a little gangster who steals and steals have any credibility? Dong Rui needs extra insurance.

Ahao was so frightened that his face turned pale.

Dong Rui said again: "You press the Qihai point, which is the lower abdomen."

Ah Hao pressed it as he was told, and his abdomen suddenly spasmed. He was unprepared, and he squatted on the ground in pain, almost bursting into tears.

"If I don't get the antidote in five days, the pain will be ten times worse than now."

He Lingchuan also squatted down and said to Ahao: "You have to find out two things. What did the second prince use to regain his consciousness, and where did he get this thing. If you get the answer, you don't have to die." "

Ah Hao calmed down and nodded desperately:

"Yes, I will definitely ask you two questions clearly and understandably!"
