Chapter 1599 Evacuation
This demon puppet is rather weird. It cannot recover quickly from its injuries just by eating divine blood.
He Lingchuan groaned: "How long will it take for it to return to its original state?"
"Even if it is soaked in the medicinal mud Lingguang and I made, it will take at least ten days to half a month. During this period, it will fall into dormancy and cannot be disturbed."
"So, we won't be able to make it in time for the operation in a few days?"
Dong Rui was extremely reluctant, but he had to admit: "It's too late. Even if I don't treat it now, the distance it can travel in its seriously injured state is very limited. Even if the soil is wet, it can't run fast."
He Lingchuan pondered for a few breaths, then said: "In that case, you should evacuate Tianshui City first."
What? Dong Rui's eyes widened: "What do you mean!"
He Lingchuan has been planning this big event for such a long time, and you don't want him to participate?
"You and Snail Toad are both seriously injured and can't walk well." He Lingchuan said seriously, "The day Emperor Liujiang arrives, the weaker party will definitely be used as a target! I can't be distracted to take care of you."
The snails were on strike, so they lost their most convenient tool for traveling. Dong Rui was injured and couldn't move as well as before.
Dong Rui said unhappily: "Who do you say is the weak one?"
"Of course not you. You defeated Cao Wendao single-handedly, who dares to say you are weak?" Cao Wendao easily killed Situ He's men, and He Lingchuan could feel that Qingyang and him were not in a superior-subordinate relationship, at least he treated him with courtesy. Otherwise, how could Cao Wendao be so casual?
How proud is Qingyang? She must respect Cao Wendao's ability, not his bad temper. Dong Rui can make such an opponent die with hatred, who dares to say he is a weakling?
So He Lingchuan changed the question to take care of his fragile self-esteem: "But once that day comes, what is our priority?"
"Get out of here in one piece."
"That's right." He Lingchuan patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "With you here, I can't run fast."
"..."
Just a joke. He Lingchuan said seriously: "After seeing the battle scene tonight, Qingyang may have suspected you. After all, ordinary practitioners have little experience in fighting against demon puppet masters. Those who can kill Cao Wendao and so many demon puppets in his hands in a short time are most likely colleagues. Given her personality, she will focus on you in the future. Zhao Song's nine hundred people are to protect me, and will not be responsible for your safety. By the way, don't forget that Bai Ziqi will be back soon, and he may use you as a breakthrough point at that time."
Dong Rui was injured and was likely to be targeted by Qingyang and Bai Ziqi.
Then there is little point for him to stay, and the danger will increase instead.
The demon puppeteer's biggest advantage must be that he can hide in the dark, rather than being stared at closely with a magnifying glass.
Therefore, his wisest option is to choose the best strategy.
He Lingchuan continued to persuade: "If I have to distract myself from taking care of your safety, the plan will not be easy to implement."
Dong Rui was already shaken, but still worried: "Can you handle it alone?"
"I still have the Yangshan Guards and the gold medal fighter lady. How can I be alone?" He Lingchuan reassured him, "Besides, if you can't beat me, can you run away? Don't forget, we originally planned to set off the last fire and then run away."
"Also, after the battle tonight, Yang Chi will be taken to the palace. The aftermath will be very interesting." He threw the last pomelo slice into his mouth. "In the next few days, Qingyang will stay away from me."
In fact, Qingyang hasn't bothered him recently. He is busy planning big things and doesn't want any trouble before the action.
But He Lingchuan disagreed, so he took the initiative at this moment to cause trouble for Cao Wenda.
Dong Rui finally nodded reluctantly: "Okay, I'll go."
He and He Lingchuan are both people who do what they think and have excellent execution ability.
Since there was no point in staying, he wouldn't drag his feet.
"Look at it in a positive light. We have already found out the location of Honglu. The treasures and experiences that Cao Wendao has accumulated over the years may all be hidden in Honglu." He Lingchuan added some charcoal to the brazier. "When Yang Chi is escorted into the palace, he will also reveal the location of Honglu. You went too late, and the place may have been looted by the people sent by King Yao first."
Isn't that a waste of natural resources? Thinking that Honglu is not far from the border of Yao Country, Dong Rui slapped the armrest and said, "I will leave before dawn!"
At this point, he poured out a lot of things from his storage ring: "These are all the spoils I found from Cao Wendao."
He and He Lingchuan were in the same team, and the spoils had to be distributed.
There are five magical protective tools. They can still be used after being repaired.
Then there were a bunch of miscellaneous and odd things, which He Lingchuan couldn't understand. Dong Rui explained that these were treasures that only demon puppet masters could use.
He pointed at something that looked like a pine cone and said, "This is a magical tool. I can put the demon puppet in it to hibernate, and I can also carry it around with me."
"It can hold living things and move them around?" It was indeed an incredible function. Ordinary storage instruments could not hold living things, and although the ancient treasures like the Soul-Capture Mirror could hold living things, they had to remain still and could not move, because it opened its own small world in real time and connected it to the great world.
The only magical weapon in He Lingchuan's hand that can transport living things is the "Xi Li Dong Tian" he took from Cen Boqing, but it can only transport one living thing at a time, and there are weight and time limits.
"It's not just any living creature, it's just a demon puppet." Dong Rui shook his head, "I've tried it, trust me. This thing might be related to the gods."
There were dozens of medicine bottles. Lingguang picked up one at random, sniffed it twice, and shook his head repeatedly: "It's not a good thing."
There were also four notebooks with sloppy handwriting. Dong Rui said that these were Cao Wendao's notes.
This old demon puppet master, like him, likes to record inspirations, experiences, questions and data anytime and anywhere.
Then, there were notes with a face value of more than 800,000 taels, as well as a lot of jewelry, gold, and several pieces of black crystal.
Black people rob black people and make money quickly.
Dong Rui pointed at the thick pile of banknotes and said, "Maybe there's money in here to buy your life."
"Then I'll accept it." He Lingchuan only took the smallest denomination of the silver note, which was 10,000 taels, and then pointed at the remaining things on the table and asked, "Auntie, is there anything you want?"
The Eyeball Spider raised its front paw and wiped its forehead: "No! I can't use anything here."
Aunt Zhu was hiding outside the villa.
It also contributed to tonight's operation, and of course it got a share of the spoils. But it looked at the things on the table and found that there was nothing delicious or fun.
My sister always collects bills, but it doesn't like it.
Forget it, forget it, this kid Dong Rui gets a bargain.
He Lingchuan said, "The remaining money will be used as your research funding for the next two periods. I will not allocate any additional funds."
Dong Rui was overjoyed. He Lingchuan only allocated tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan each time, which was very stingy.
With these 800,000 in hand, he can spend it for a long time!
He immediately asked the ghost ape to clean up the things on the table and leave immediately.
Dong Rui was a guest official at Yongquan Villa. He lived in seclusion and rarely went out. He didn't show up for meals and only appeared at night, as if he was invisible. The palace guards of Yaoguo could not remember that there was such a person as him, and usually did not pay too much attention to him.
After all, to maintain such a large villa, no one knows how many people come in and out every day.
……
Yaowang Palace.
The night rain was trickling, and there were several flashes of lightning and thunder, which made the whole palace tremble.
Qiu Long thought to himself that something bad had happened and quickly went to King Yao's bed to see if his master had been awakened by the shock.
As he approached, King Yao's deep voice came from behind the bed curtains: "What time is it?"
"My lord, are you awake?"
"Who wouldn't wake up when the thunder is so loud?" After the first thunder, King Yao woke up.
He remembered that when he was young, he slept so deeply that even the loudest thunder could not wake him up.
Alas, I am old after all.
"Recently, there have been bursts of winter thunder, which is abnormal." Winter in Tianshui City is usually very quiet, and snowflakes do not make any noise when they fall to the ground. This year, it is so cold and hot that it rains as soon as it gets hot. "It's abnormal, really abnormal."
Should I use my energy to intervene? It seems like an overreaction.
Besides, a lot of manpower has been approved for the expansion of the new city, and any more will be discussed by officials.
Qiu Long knew what his master was thinking, so he changed the subject and said, "You need to change your boots when you go out tomorrow morning. The ground is frozen after the rain."
King Yao shook his head: "I always feel that something abnormal is brewing in this city."
Where could it come from? He had already sent people to keep a close eye on Qingyang Regent, and her whereabouts did not seem unusual.
"Your Majesty, you have reason to be worried." Qiu Long said gently, "But you must rest well tonight and recuperate. You will have a morning court in two hours."
Just as King Yao was about to speak, there was a sudden knocking sound on the door outside.
The sky is falling? What kind of person dares to disturb Wang Qingmeng at this time?
Qiu Long hurried out.
After half a cup of tea, he hurried back and whispered a few words into King Yao's ear.
So Zhao Song was able to meet the king.
There was thunder and rain outside, and the king and his ministers were in whispers inside.
By the time Zhao Song recounted everything that had happened in Yongquan Villa and Taoxi that night, more than half an hour had passed.
Because Yao Wang often asks questions.
Qiu Long was accompanying King Yao, and the more he listened, the more frightened he became.
How could an operation to assassinate He Xiao actually involve so many secrets?
Cao Wendao, Qingyang, He Xiao, Princess Ya, Xue Zongwu...
Looking at King Yao's expression, it became more and more solemn, and in the end it was so gloomy that it seemed as if water was almost dripping from it.
After Zhao Song finished speaking, the hall became as quiet as a tomb, with only the sound of thunder and rain outside resounding through the world.
After a long time, King Yao said to Zhao Song, "You are very good. You have made a great contribution by reporting this! Now go back to Yongquan Villa first, and call He Xiao over after daybreak!"
"Yes!"
Zhao Song retreated respectfully.
Qiu Long was about to close the door, but King Yao waved his hand and said, "Keep it open."
There was cold wind, rain, lightning and thunder outside the door, but King Yao walked to the door and took a deep breath of the cold air.
Only in this way could the boiling anger in his heart be slightly soothed.
Qiu Long quickly grabbed a cloak and put it on his shoulders: "Your Majesty, be careful not to catch a cold!"
King Yao said coldly: "Tell me, what exactly does Beijia want?"
