A person in charge of the investigation came to the foot of the steps and seemed to want to report something to Xiang Luo Ce. The presence of Li Chenghu made him hesitate to speak.
Prime Minister Luo Ce immediately reprimanded: "There are no secrets in front of the prince."
The man immediately reported: "Island Master, Qingya's men did not leave, but spread out on the sea, as if they were looking for something in the sea."
In a daze, Li Chenghu didn't understand what this meant and turned his head to look at Xiang Luoce.
Xiang Luo Ce immediately explained: "Qingya didn't come alone, he was accompanied by some people secretly or covertly. Today, I suddenly found that almost all of Qingya's people were out to sea, as if they were leaving, but he himself stayed here It was quite strange to see this, so I sent someone to keep an eye on it.”
What happened next was naturally what his men had just reported.
So that’s what happened, Li Chenghu thought thoughtfully.
Xiang Luoce asked his subordinates again, "Is that all?"
The man said: "That's all the current situation. There is a sea monster over there. We can't get closer to check. The specific situation is not yet known."
"Keep staring." Xiang Luo Ce said and waved his hand.
"Yes." The man accepted the order and left.
With no one else around, Li Chenghu, who was thinking about it, wondered: "Hasn't he already found the entrance to the secret passage in the sea? Is there anything else to find? What are you looking for?"
Xiang Luoce hesitated and said: "The rumors floating outside say that Tanhua Lang is looking for the entrance to the Immortal Mansion, and there does seem to be some miracles in the ancient legends in the Amber Sea area. He is mixed up with Tanhua Lang again. They will not really Are you looking for the Immortal Mansion here?"
Li Chenghu: "There are so many places in the world with legends about miracles and miracles. Which place has not been searched over by those families? Even if there really is some kind of fairy mansion, I advise you not to think too much, let alone the fairy cave. Your home can be undefended. Let outsiders come in and out at will? The so-called Immortal Mansion, even the top figures in the world dare not trespass. Others who have evil thoughts are looking for death. These words were given to me by the Queen. I give them to you today. you."
In the car driving the guests off after the banquet, a group of people didn't have much emotion about Chong'er becoming Li Chenghu's adopted son. It was basically clear that Li Chenghu just didn't want to give the money to Xiang Lanxuan, so he deliberately took a wrong turn. Don't expect people like Li Chenghu to really think about the father-son relationship and give strong support.
At this moment, Yu Qing realized that Tie Miaoqing and so on were just an excuse for Li Chenghu.
In fact, Yu Qing didn't want to cause such a boring thing, but Xiang Lanxuan had been kicking his feet under the table, so there was nothing he could do.
Nanzhu, who didn't know much about the origin of the money, was very enthusiastic, and his attitude towards Chong'er became much better.
The car stopped at the pier. Yu Qing and others got out of the car and took a boat, riding the wind and waves to Zhihai Pavilion.
Nanzhu kept chattering on the boat, telling about Amber Sea's forced price increase, how many people were forced to leave, and so on. In fact, he was just trying to express one idea. He had nowhere to go now. I can live with everyone.
Yu Qing didn't drive him away, nor did he have any intention of keeping him. He asked him to discuss it with Xiang Haihua. The reason was simple. They had free room and board in Zhihai Pavilion. It was impossible to pay for Nanzhu in such an expensive period. Yes, he was too embarrassed to ask for another freebie.
Nanzhu had nothing to be embarrassed about. He immediately went to Xianghaihua to protest against the price increase in Amberhai. He said that he could no longer afford to live in Amberhai. What else could Xianghaihua say? It was conceivable that the bill would be waived for him, so that he could rest assured.
No one cared whether Chong'er was in a bad mood or not. She kept her head down silently...
Qingya, who returned to Zhihai Pavilion first, was very angry. When he returned to the house, he wrote a sealed letter and gave it to his subordinates, and said: "Send the letter home immediately."
"Yes." His men took the letter and left.
Just as he was about to open the door, Gangkacha's Qingya, who was crushing a peanut, suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute."
His subordinates looked back at him, and he also fell into silence. After a while, he waved to his subordinates to come back and asked for the letter. Under the stunned and puzzled eyes of his subordinates, he crushed the letter into powder.
The letter was a letter of revenge. Because of Li Chenghu's contempt, he wanted to retaliate. He wanted to send an order to Haishi to cause some trouble for Li Chenghu's related parties and make Li Chenghu pay the price for his arrogance. This was not a problem for him. It was difficult to do, but the behavior in front of me was obviously something I regretted again.
It was not because he was afraid of Li Chenghu, but because he thought that he would stay in the Amber Sea for a while, and he did not intend to leave until he found the treasure buried by the Amber clan. Once Haishi retaliates, if he continues to stay in Li Chenghu's territory, it will be a sheep in the tiger's mouth. It will be too easy for Li Chenghu to deal with him, so he has to think twice.
He did not explain to his men why he tore up the letter, and asked: "Do you have any clues about the place where you were asked to search secretly?"
The subordinate shook his head and said, "Master Qing, there is no general direction here. If we want to find such a place in this vast sea, I am afraid it will not be possible in a short time. What's more, we only have such a small number of manpower. Otherwise, let's go again." Recruit some reliable manpower to join the search?"
Qingya, who was in the entrance of Peanut Mina, waved his hand, "Since it is a secret search, there cannot be too many people, even if it is searching in the sea, this is Li Chenghu's territory. If there are too many people, it is impossible to hide it from them. I would rather get the results slower. "
As soon as his subordinates nodded in agreement, he crushed another peanut and said, "If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. That Huo Lang can disappear."
"Okay." The subordinate nodded again and left quickly.
Qingya chewed something and said to himself, "If you don't give it to me, I will take it myself!"
He wanted to know how Li Chenghu would react when he found out that the treasure house of the Amber clan that he had been looking for for many years had been emptied out. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile.
He strutted towards the door, still mumbling, "Tanhua Lang, I'm sorry, you can find a way to get rid of those people by yourself."
The so-called "those people" refer to the Amber girls that Yu Qing asked to help rescue. That matter was too troublesome. Even if they ran back to Haishi after being discovered, it would be difficult to explain. He didn't want to cause that trouble.
Now that he is quietly working alone, he naturally doesn't need to save anyone else.
Thinking about it, I felt very good. I left the room with brisk footsteps and walked out of Zhihai Pavilion alone.
Since the notice came out, the prosperity of Amber Sea has indeed shown signs of cooling down, and there are indeed fewer people on the streets.
Qingya was indifferent to this and peeled peanuts all the way to the brightly lit pier. In the sea breeze that passed through his clothes, he jumped onto a boat moored in the harbor and asked aloud, "What location was found?" ?”
As a result, there was no response from the canopy. He was startled. There were obviously people related to him here.
Feeling something was wrong, he quickly bent over and took a look, and saw a dark figure sitting in a shed. He flipped his hand and a glowstone popped out. The light and shadow flew to the man but stopped, and the glowstone hovered in front of him. There was no movement in the cabin.
A man covered in a black cloak, generally estimated to be small in size, even thin, sat firmly on the rung of the compartment, giving people a sense of deserted silence, and also made a cold voice without emotion, "Qingya, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Then the floating glowstone shot back like a meteor.
Qingya's body shook slightly as he grabbed it, and his palms were aching and numb. His face was full of horror. The voice of the visitor was familiar to him. In addition, the strength of the rebound showed his cultivation base, which surprised him: " Fourth Cave Master, why are you here?"
That's right, the person who came was none other than Chu Wu, the master of the fourth cave in Qianliu Mountain.
According to Qingya's understanding of this person, this person who has been masked all year round rarely shows his true face even in Qianliu Mountain. How could he not be surprised when he suddenly appeared here to meet him.
Anyway, Qingya has never seen the other party's true face.
Chu Wu said coldly: "What are you looking for in the sea?"
Qingya was startled and suspicious. He looked at his subordinate who had fallen down in the cabin and could probably guess how he fell. He didn't care about his life or death for the time being. He put away the glowstone, bent down and looked into the shed and replied: "Looking for a secret passage under the sea."
Chu Wu: "The secret passage under the sea? What kind of secret passage under the sea?"
Qingya: "A secret passage under the sea that leads to Haidu Palace City."
He directly brought up the secret passage that Yu Qing mentioned as evidence. He didn't dare to talk about the real situation without the permission of the person behind him.
Of course, he was unwilling to reveal the secret when it came to the treasure.
Chu Wu: "Why are you looking for a secret passage?"
Qingya: "Xiang Luo Ce and his daughter swindled Jingyuan Shipping Company for three billion yuan and refused to spit it out. I want to find a secret passage and make some fuss about it."
Cuowu: "The ruins of giant steps in the sea, where is the entrance to the secret passage?"
Qingya glanced at his unconscious subordinates. Needless to say, his subordinates must have kept their mouths shut. However, the masters of the four caves in Qianliu Mountain could understand. Fortunately, the people below did not know that he was looking for the ruins in the sea. What are you doing? He nodded immediately and said: "It is said to be yes, but I'm not sure. Let's look for it first."
"How do you know about the secret passage in Haidu?"
"Tanhua Lang told me."
"Are you sure you got together with him to find the secret passage, not the entrance to the Immortal Mansion?"
Hearing this, Qingya sweated a little, hurriedly waved his hands and said: "The Master of the Fourth Cave made a strong statement, I dare not touch that thing."
Chu Wu: "It's best not to lie to me, otherwise you know the consequences, and it's useless for the Liang family to come forward!"
Qingya, who was bending over there, immediately patted his chest, "Master of the Fourth Cave, I, Qingya, swear that I have not gone to find any immortal mansion. Otherwise, I, Qingya, will die badly if I let the Master of the Fourth Cave be cut into pieces." No complaints at all!”
He was still a little cautious in his words. He just swore that he had not cheated on this matter, and he did not say whether he had cheated on the secret passage.
Looking at him like this, it really didn't look like he was lying. Chu Wu gave him a kind warning, "It's very windy and choppy here. Go back as soon as possible if you have nothing to do. Don't mess around here."
Qingya nodded, "I'll go back as soon as I'm done."
"Have you met Li Chenghu?"
"Yes, I just met him not long ago. He refused to give Jingyuan Shipping Company three billion yuan. Master Four, how about you say hello to me? If you open your mouth, he will definitely give you face."
"Don't tell anyone about my coming here." The warrior was like a ghost. He dropped the words and disappeared into the sea outside the cabin.
Qingya quickly raised his head and looked around. There were no waves or movement on the sea surface. The person disappeared quietly. The meaning of the other party's words was also obvious. He would not say hello to him. He peeled a peanut and said to himself, " What is this Dharma Master doing here in person, because of those rumors?"
Thinking about it, I frowned and felt that I could no longer hang out with Yu Qing and had to keep a distance...
In the attic of the wharf of Jingyuan Shipyard, Huo Lang was silent in front of the window, staring at the night sky and listening to the waves.
Hong Ji brought a fruit plate up, but he just looked back.
Hong Ji, who put down the fruit plate behind him, drew out a cold light and stabbed Huo Lang in the back of Huo Lang's vest with a smooth motion. The whole set of movements was smooth and calm.
After succeeding, her face showed a ferocious coldness, but it suddenly turned into shock.
The knife in his hand made a crisp "ding" sound, and the blade was slightly sunk, making it impossible to move forward even an inch.
He immediately realized something was wrong and swung the knife towards Huo Lang's neck, while Huo Lang looked back coldly.
However, before the blade touched Huo Lang's neck, there was a sudden burst of powerful magic from the side. Hong Ji's arm that was wielding the knife suddenly burst out of blood and broke off. Huo Lang, who reacted, also calmly grabbed her neck. The other hand quickly touched her body with several fingers, taking the opportunity to restrain her in one fell swoop.
With eyes full of surprise, Hong Ji twisted her neck hard, ignoring Huo Lang in front of her, and tried her best to look at the window on the other side, trying to see who the master who attacked her was.
Huo Lang, who was in control of her life, had a look of pity on his face, "With the shrewdness of the organization, I caused such a thing, but I didn't react for a long time. The strange thing is that there was no reprimand. I knew that I would not be given another chance." . I have been thinking about what will be done to me. I feel that it is unlikely that someone will commit mass murder on the island. I really don’t want to see you being the one to do this..." He pushed the other person away and pulled away with one hand. The placket of his clothes revealed the metal chain shirt underneath.
Hong Ji, who fell to the ground, covered her broken arm and gritted her teeth: "If you run away, your whole family will not survive."
Huo Lang squatted in front of her and sneered, "That's not necessarily the case."
At this moment, there were footsteps outside the door, and a figure in black robe slowly walked in, and at the same time, a strange smell wafted in.
