Chapter 1015 The Background of Discovery (Part 2)
Wang Xingyi said slowly, "We guess that maybe they felt that the Zhaixing Tower was no longer safe, so they found another place to hide the treasure, or maybe it was because the torch was not returned."
This is very strange. Tiangong and Juju have reconciled. Shouldn't they get the treasure back?
Fang Canran's mind was spinning rapidly.
No matter how Tiangong tried to cover up the news of the robbery of the Star-Zhaing Tower, it would definitely not be hidden from Lingshan in the end.
He thought for a while and said: "The Torch probably hid it under the earth's fire as a handle to control the Heavenly Palace. Otherwise, how could the Heavenly Palace let the Fire Spirit let it go if it caused such a big mess?"
Wang Xingyi looked at Fang Canran and said, "You have contacted Nuo Ju and conspired with He Xiao. Do you know where the lost treasure is?"
Fang Canran felt ashamed: "I left Lingxu City that night and never contacted Nuoju again. As for He Xiao, he said that he had just taken one step out of the Xu Mountain boundary, and Nuoju sold him and guided Qingyang Imperial Master and Baiju. The God of War is here to hunt him down. According to my understanding of Ju, this is indeed his behavior."
Wang Xingyi asked again: "Do you know what treasures are enshrined in the Zhaixing Tower? Did Chu Ju tell you about it?"
Fang Canran shook his head. Diju is a very scheming monster.
But Ju Ju was not the only one who went to Zhaixing Tower that night.
And He Xiao.
"It's the lid of a large square pot."
"Lid?" Fang Canran was startled, "Does the big square pot have a lid?"
"The lid of the pot was originally one piece, but it was separated in the Middle Ages and the lid disappeared. Later, the Tiangong somehow found it and enshrined it in the Zhaixing Tower." Wang Xingyi said slowly, "After the Nuju rebellion, the lid disappeared."
Fang Canran understood: "Are you suspicious...Lingshan is suspicious that He Xiao snatched the big square pot lid?"
Those who dare to incite the torch and cause chaos in the Heavenly Palace are either doing it to bring great hatred to the heavens or for great gain. From this perspective, it seems reasonable that He Lingchuan disturbed the Heavenly Palace just to snatch the treasure.
"Based on the current clues, this divine object is not in the hands of Yuju, but in the hands of He Xiao." Wang Xingyi picked up the Shaomai and swallowed it in one gulp, "And the Panlong Desert, thousands of miles away, suddenly changed its climate, maybe it was related to the sudden change of climate. It’s related to the big square pot lid, so Tiangong should have guessed this, so he sent He Jing.”
He sighed softly: "I didn't expect that He Du made the guest die in a foreign land, and the whole thing was unclear. When the news came back, the Heavenly Palace was shaken, and several groups of people were sent to investigate."
Fang Canran asked curiously: "So what exactly happened in Panlong Desert, didn't Tiangong understand it?"
Wang Xingyi shook his head: "After this incident, Tiangong also sent people to Baling. I don't know the specific reason."
"Ba Ling?" It was another country that Fang Canran had never expected. "Ba Ling is also related to Dafang Hu?"
"This matter is getting more and more complicated." Wang Xingyi put down his chopsticks without eating, "Let me ask you, where did this He Xiao come from?"
"He said he was from the Fu country." He Xiao once asked two seafarers to contact him. Fang Canran asked these two sea travelers, who also boarded the ship on the way, and they both said that He Lingchuan set out from Fu State.
The kingdom of Fu is near Beqa. Wang Xingyi asked again: "Is it not related to the Yuan Kingdom and the Panlong Desert?"
"I never mentioned it." Although Fang Canran answered like this, his heart was moved.
He Xiao recognized his ancestral seal ring and said that he had seen a vision of more than a hundred years ago in Panlong Desert, including Shao Jian.
In other words, He Xiao personally admitted that he had been to Panlong Ancient City.
But he couldn't say this to Wang Xingyi. Because of the past of the Shaw family ancestors, Fang Canran never mentioned it to Lingshan.
This is Fang Canran's own secret.
If He Xiao himself is really related to Panlong City and the Dafang Pot, then it is not surprising that he recognized Shao Jian's ring, and it is reasonable for him to seize the divine objects from the Heavenly Palace.
The past of Panlong more than a hundred years ago was the origin and relationship between him and He Xiao.
Because of his firm answer, Wang Xingyi hummed and fell into deep thought.
"Uncle Master..."
"Your news is delayed. He is not from the Fu Kingdom, but from the Yuan Kingdom." Wang Xingyi said slowly, "His real name is He Lingchuan. His father is He Chunhua, the prefect of Qiansong County in the Yuan Kingdom. He is now the general of the Yuan Kingdom. His family has lived in Heishui City for more than ten years. Do you know where Heishui City is?"
Fang Canran blurted out: "Panlong Desert?"
No wonder, no wonder He Xiao was able to reveal the secrets of his ancestor Shao Jian and Panlong Ancient City.
"Yes, his home is on the edge of the Panlong Desert, guarding the northwest border of the Yuan Kingdom." Wang Xingyi took a sip of tea, "Some time ago, he took your seal and password to Rongshan and mortgaged a large amount of money for the Yuan Kingdom. He spent a million taels of silver to fight the war, and took a team of Ronshan elites to sea and traveled across the ocean to come here. "
Fang Canran murmured: "That's it."
"You said that his father was a general of the Yuan Kingdom, and now he is in power. Why did he leave the son of a good general alone and come to the Yangshan Islands to establish his own business?"
Fang Canran thought about it for a long time: "The father and son don't get along, or is it something that's hard to tell?"
Wang Xingyi didn't answer.
Fang Canran waited for a while and had to ask again: "Uncle Master, do you plan to treat He Xiao...?"
Wang Xingyi shook his head: "I don't plan to do anything to him."
That means there will be no action at the moment. Fang Canran felt slightly relieved: "That big square pot?"
"The Dafang Pot is still in the Panlong Desert. This has been confirmed." Wang Xingyi sighed, "The person who stole the lid doesn't know why."
But the large square pot is still in place, which undoubtedly reassures both Tiangong and Lingshan.
That's what matters most.
"You don't want to ask He Xiao to confirm this?"
"If he didn't steal the lid, he certainly wouldn't admit it; if he really did it, he still wouldn't admit it. Then what?" Wang Xingyi laughed, "Will Lingshan arrest him and torture him?"
"Uh..." Fang Canran rarely had such a dilemma. As far as he knew, Lingshan had done this before.
"Lingshan also fought for the Dafang Pot in the past, but the result was not ideal." Wang Xingyi sighed, "This treasure does not listen to anyone, and even ignores anyone. Panlongcheng's leader Zhong Shengguang once said that it was the Dafang Pot that chose him, not him controlling the Dafang Pot, so it cannot be transferred."
The reason is also very simple. It's not yours, how can you give it to others?
"And in the final analysis, what does the loss of the magic object in Zhaixing Tower have to do with us?" Wang Xingyi shook his head, "As long as the Heavenly Palace is in a mess, that's enough."
"Yes." Although Fang Canran agreed, his heart was like a mirror:
He Xiao showed outstanding talents, and Lingshan really wanted to recruit him, so he acted magnanimously.
Let's try a new nameless person?
"The Dafanghu is such a unique spiritual object?" He turned to ask,
"If He Xiao is really related to the Dafanghu, why doesn't he keep the sacred object, but travel across the ocean to seek development in Yangshan Islands?"
The Dafanghu is still in the Panlong Desert, but He Xiao came to Yangshan Islands. How many miles are there between them? Even going back is very troublesome.
"Maybe there is something he wants here; maybe he is still in a certain organization, just here to perform a mission." Wang Xingyi smiled, "In short, this is all speculation, unconfirmed. Fortunately, we still have time. You and He Xiao have similar aspirations. You might as well have more contact and make more friends."
"Yes."
"Lingshan does not accept people with secrets." Wang Xingyi's words made Fang Canran's heart skip a beat, "He Xiao has too many secrets, and he is indeed not suitable for serving as an official in the court. But this does not mean that he is useless to us."
But Wang Guoshi just invited He Lingchuan to join Mouguo? Fang Canran realized that this was just a test.
Regardless of whether He Lingchuan was related to Dafanghu or not, the courage, ability, bravery, and talent for planning and layout of this young man were still the outstanding qualities that Lingshan valued the most.
Lingshan would certainly pay attention to such talents.
Compared with the divine object in the Heavenly Palace whose whereabouts were unknown and whose specific use was unknown, Lingshan's needs were more practical.
The divine object was ethereal, but the talent was real.
"If he is really the person chosen by Dafanghu-" Wang Xingyi said slowly, "Even Dafanghu chose him, what reason do we have not to choose him?"
Fang Canran just responded with "yes", and suddenly sniffed twice: "It smells good."
There was a faint fragrance in the air, which made people's appetites move.
What is this?
He walked quickly to the wall and pushed the window.
The fresh wind and the pouring rain came in at once.
But there was a little green shadow in the rain, which was refreshing.
"The Emperor Liujiang is coming!"
Wang Xingyi also walked to the window and reached out to catch some rain: "It's rare that the Emperor Liujiang actually came at the same time as the hurricane?"
The Yangshan Islands have been arranged so that storms cannot enter the human settlement area, but heavy rain can.
The Emperor Liujiang came with the rainstorm.
He has also experienced the Emperor Liujiang several times, and this is the first time he has seen such a situation.
Thinking back to when he just told He Lingchuan to welcome the Emperor Liujiang after the hurricane, he felt a little embarrassed. The time interval was so close, and the favor was not given.
Fang Canran took a deep breath and suppressed the restlessness caused by the Emperor Liujiang: "Tonight is really not peaceful."
Blessings and disasters lie in the same place.
The Emperor Liujiang is beneficial to living beings and can best arouse the instincts of living things. It is not uncommon for a city or a place to have riots due to the Emperor Liujiang.
At this time, the leader's organization and control ability are most tested.
Both looked at the lights on the island, as if there were shadows everywhere. The two of them have excellent concentration and will not be sucked away by the Emperor Liujiang, but nine out of ten people on this island are mortals.
And because of the hurricane, a large number of foreign guests gathered on Sodin Island tonight.
These foreign seafarers and sailors are different from the local people. They have different qualities and unstable hearts. Will they obey He Xiao's training? Will they conflict with the archipelago guards?
He Xiao is the host and they are the guests. If the host and the guests fight tonight and show off their swords, fists and feet, will Sodin Island still have a good reputation on this route in the future?
But if it is left alone, chaos will inevitably occur.
Fang Canran put himself in the shoes of He Lingchuan and felt embarrassed for him.
"That's why he has to get rid of the Bailong people and the Bega people before the Emperor Liujiang." Otherwise, natural disasters and man-made disasters will drive people crazy.
