In Qilan Xiaozhu, Pang Wuzheng, wearing a bamboo hat to protect himself from the sun, was still fishing on the beach, and the woman in green emerged from the waves on the beach again.
With no water stains on her body, she glanced at the silhouettes of several ships on the sea in the distance, "The so-and-so Qingya has arrived. They are drilling into the mountain under the ruins in the sea, seeming to be looking for something."
Pang Wuzheng, who was looking down at the drifting line, raised his head and looked at the shadow of the ship in the distance. His kind-hearted face showed surprise, "What are you doing drilling into the mountain? Is there something famous in the ruined mountain? Aren't they here for the Immortal Mansion?"
The woman in Tsing Yi: "Tanhua Lang came to the Immortal Mansion. There were rumors outside that Qingya was involved with him and found this place. It shouldn't be a coincidence. He should have come to the Immortal Mansion. Although we have explored so much For many years, they didn’t know how to open the Immortal Mansion, but the explorer didn’t do it all at once. They definitely didn’t do this because they were full. There must be a reason. This drilling behavior is most likely related to the method of opening the Immortal Mansion. It’s just that We just don’t understand.”
Pang Wuzheng nodded slightly, "It makes sense... I don't know what kind of connection is hidden in this ruined mountain."
The woman in green: "I'll keep an eye on him. I'll see what he can do first. If that doesn't work, I can only rob him and pry his mouth open."
Pang Wuzheng sighed: "It's easier said than done! It's easy to rob someone, but it's hard not to expose yourself. Now I don't know how many people are staring at that guy eagerly. I don't understand. Isn't he the most talented person in the world? What kind of stupidity are you doing? Looking for someone like Immortal Mansion? Why didn't you know how to keep it secret? Why did it become so public that everyone in the world knew about it? Isn't this causing trouble for yourself? It's better now. He himself is bored in Zhihai Pavilion and dare not wander around at will. "
The woman in green nodded slightly. If she hadn't been worried about this, she would have robbed the Tanhua Lang long ago. However, she was afraid of those terrifying existences and really didn't dare to act rashly without being sure.
In fact, they were not the only ones who wanted to kidnap and pry Yu Qing's mouth open. They had to restrain themselves because they were afraid of the terrifying existence that was secretly watching him.
At the luncheon in Haidu Palace, there was a table full of good wine and good food, an expensive and elaborate table, but it was a pity that only three people were guarding such a table to enjoy the delicious food.
Li Chenghu and Chong'er, the so-called father and son, were accompanied by Xiang Luo Ce, a landlord.
Neither Li Chenghu nor Xiang Luo Ce paid attention to the delicacies on the table. Xiang Luo Ce didn't mention his chopsticks, and basically held the wine glass and sipped slowly, almost silently, like a bystander, watching the actions of the other two people. .
Among the three of them, Chong'er was the only one who was immersed in eating. She was not the kind who ate all the food to satisfy her appetite, but chewed slowly with her head lowered and her chopsticks almost never put down. She was eating to cover her mouth. He really didn't want to talk to Li Chenghu and didn't know what to say to him.
Li Chenghu talked a lot at first, and he could be said to have lowered his profile, chatting with Chong'er about family matters. However, Chong'er didn't answer anything, hemmed and hawed, or responded by shaking his head and nodding. , "Father and son" naturally couldn't talk anymore.
Fortunately, Li Chenghu did not have any airs today and was very patient. The smile on his face did not disappear due to this embarrassment. Since his "son" liked to eat, he personally carried the chopsticks to help him pick up the food, and asked about the taste from time to time. How about it? Xiang Luo Ce's eyes twitched as he watched.
For Chong'er, the so-called recognition of her adoptive father had always been an excuse for the three billion yuan involved in the past. In her mind, Li Chenghu was also a heinous villain. She really didn't expect that Li Chenghu would be so kind to her.
She vaguely felt that the good feeling towards her was not fake.
After leaving the Amber Sea to wander, the only person who had ever been so kind to her was her own son, who would worry about her food and drink. She didn't expect that Li Chenghu in front of her would be like this.
She warned herself in her heart that he was a bad person and had no good reasons for herself. She must be more vigilant and not be deceived by other people's appearances.
So I thought it was enough, put down my chopsticks and stood up, "Father...Father, I've finished eating and I'm going back."
Li Chenghu also stood up with a smile, "You're going back now? I'm going back to Beijing in the afternoon, don't you want to see me off?"
Zhong'er hesitated, "I still have something to do over there."
Li Chenghu smiled and said, "Would you like to take the time to come back to Beijing with me to see the princess? She has always been thinking about you and has always wanted to see you."
Following Xiang Luo Ce who stood up, he said: "It's convenient to go back and forth. I can arrange a flying ride here to pick you up."
Chong'er shook his head again, "No need to bother, I will go see the princess when I have time."
Li Chenghu raised his hand to stop Xiang Luoce, who was still trying to persuade him, and signaled not to force it, "I'm in a hurry this time, and my adoptive father didn't prepare any gifts for you. Take a look at what you want, and just say, I can give it to you." The king is never stingy.”
These words touched Chong'er. Although her master had reminded her about Amber Girl before, she had never dared to speak because she thought it was impossible. Li Chenghu's attitude at this time gave her courage. After a moment of hesitation, she finally forced herself to He scratched his head and said vaguely: "Father, can you let those amber girls go?"
When she said this, her heart was beating so hard that she felt like she didn't even hear what she said clearly. She was so flustered that she didn't dare to look into Li Chenghu's eyes.
Li Chenghu didn't seem surprised at all by this, and said meaningfully, "Are they those amber girls outside the palace wall?"
Chong'er, who didn't dare to look at him, nodded.
Li Chenghu: "I heard that you went to find those women to have fun, and you can still ask about them at this time. It seems that you really like this. They have been imprisoned for so many years, and my anger has dissipated. If you are really good at them, I won’t give you anything, just treat them as gifts of recognition and reward them all to you. Of course, the premise is that you really like them and you are willing to have them."
An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Xiang Luoce's mouth.
Zhong'er suddenly raised his head, but he didn't expect that his master was right. He found that he was indeed the master, and he was still so powerful. He didn't believe his words earlier, and almost missed it because of his hesitation.
The key is that she didn't know how to say it yet. As soon as she opened her mouth, Li Chenghu took the initiative to give those amber girls as gifts to her. It was an unexpected surprise. He nodded in joy, "I like it, I like it. Thank you... for the reward from my adoptive father." He bowed with his hands in hand.
This time I feel grateful from the bottom of my heart.
Unexpectedly, Li Chenghu said to Prime Minister Luo Ce: "That's it. However, Tanhua Lang is caught in rumors. It's inconvenient for Lin Long to take them with him now. He will continue to be under house arrest in Amber Village for the time being, waiting for Lin Long to leave Amber. Let her take it away when the sea comes."
You rewarded her, but you're not letting her go for the time being? Chong'er was stunned on the spot, not expecting such an operation.
Li Chenghu looked at her again and said: "Then again, Tanhua Lang is not stupid. He should also be aware of some risks. You will not be indifferent around him. The Amber Sea may have high winds and rough waves in the near future. You are not Children, you should understand what your adoptive father means. I don’t want you to be involved in these rights and wrongs and encounter risks. Otherwise, come back to Beijing with me and let you take these amber girls with you."
Xiang Luoce, who was smiling, understood immediately upon hearing this that the prince was using Amber Girl to control this "adopted son" and wanted to take the opportunity to take him away and pull him out of the whirlpool in front of him to get rid of possible risks. .
Zhong'er hesitated again. He was in a dilemma. On the one hand, he really wanted to rescue those Amber girls now, but he was afraid that things would change if it took a long time, and he was afraid that he would break his promise. On the other hand, he felt that he should be by the young master's side at this time. , it is precisely because of the high winds and rough waves that we have to work together with our brothers.
This really embarrassed her to death.
Li Chenghu was not in a hurry, he left the matter to her and did not rush her.
Xiang Luo Ce also waited for her decision.
After a while, Chong'er hesitated and said: "It doesn't matter if I take them away later. Since my adoptive father has given them to me, can they stop accepting guests?"
Knowing that this was her decision, Li Chenghu felt an inexplicable sourness in his heart and glanced at Xiang Luoce.
Prime Minister Luo Ce understood: "Your Majesty has made a golden promise and will not break his promise. I will immediately announce to the public that the Prince has rewarded the amber girls to his adopted son, and those amber girls will no longer accept guests from today on. Man, I will help you temporarily. Look, if you want to have fun in Amber Village, you can go in at any time."
Li Chenghu nodded slightly, satisfied with this arrangement. When the news was released, it would become more and more clear that he valued his adopted son, and it would make those with evil intentions weigh the consequences.
Chong'er thanked him again and again.
In the end, she didn't stay long, and Xiang Haihua sent her back in person.
After watching the people leave, Li Chenghu said slowly: "We really can't leave the capital for a long time. I have mobilized a thousand elites to come here, including hundreds of great archers. I'll leave it to you to make a decision on the spur of the moment. You should know what I want."
Xiangluo Zhizhi leaned forward and said, "My lord, don't worry, even if something happens to my daughter, I will not let the princess make any mistakes."
Li Chenghu suddenly changed the topic, "Your daughter's man is probably not a simple man."
Xiang Luo Ce was startled and quickly realized that saying this at this time might have something to do with the fact that his daughter's pretty boy suddenly disappeared when he went out. In other words, the prince had already set his sights on his daughter's lover.
"At the same time, Lin Long left the door, and my men could not follow him. Is this a coincidence? I hope it is a coincidence."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will pay close attention."
"The sea area where Qingya is tossing is at that old friend of yours, right?"
"Yes, Pang Wuzheng built a yard on the island over there, where he fishes, takes care of himself, and cultivates his moral character. He lives up to his name and has nothing to do with the world."
"I heard that the conditions on that island are not very good. There is not even a spring. To plant flowers and grass, you have to transport soil from other places. Why didn't he choose an island with better conditions? Why did he choose that island? place?"
"My lord, it shouldn't have much to do with the matter at hand. Pang Wuzheng bought that island more than ten years ago."
"I heard that this king bought it not long after the bloodbath in the Amber Sea?"
"It's not a coincidence to call it a coincidence. He has been doing business in the Amber Sea for decades. The bloodbath did make him a little scared. It was also that time that made him want to stay away from right and wrong and find a place to live in seclusion. The business is left to the juniors.”
"In the world of rivers and lakes, there is no anonymity. How can we find an island to stay away from right and wrong? I have no other intention. I just want to remind you that powerful enemies are not scary. What is really scary is not knowing that the enemy is by your side."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have people in Pang's Trading Company and the 'Qilan Villa' on the island."
Seeing that he was confident, Li Chenghu nodded slightly and said nothing more.
After sending the person back to Zhihai Pavilion, Xiang Haihua immediately called his confidant, the fair-skinned and wealthy woman, and asked, "He didn't go out, did he?"
The so-called "he" refers to her new love.
To be honest, she felt a little unsure when such a softie appeared next to her at this time. Wanting to be a softie was a trivial matter for her family. She even wanted to keep him. She really liked it. I fell in love with this man, but I was afraid that he had some other purpose.
At first, she didn't think much about it. Both she and her father thought it was a freeloader who just wanted to make some money. But later, when the situation became complicated, everyone who could doubt it began to doubt it. What made her most uneasy was that the person who went out several times was in Zhihai Pavilion, on her territory, and she actually lost track of him.
It's okay if you lose him once, but it's a bit unsettling if he appears a few times.
"He rarely goes out, so I went to explore his room. As before, he spends most of his time meditating and practicing in the room. Pavilion Master, his room is being watched to death. After the island owner reminded him about the golden beetle, we didn't even have one Not even a fly would be allowed to come into contact with him. It is certain that he cannot contact anyone in the house. I guess that the island owner must have secretly sent someone to keep an eye on him. If there is any problem, the island owner cannot Be silent."
Xiang Haihua sighed: "I hope we are too careful. If there is really a problem, it would be too scary to put people under our noses and stare at them without being able to detect them."
