In front of Fangzhai's door, Meng Sanshu pondered for a moment and said, "At that time, I was already in Tianlao, but I didn't know anything about what happened in Yicheng. From Yi Bai's mouth, I knew what happened at that time, probably I can guess the process of Xu Lin’s promotion to General Yicheng.”
He looked at Luochuan and said slowly, "This man was originally from the Wang family. He was one of the key figures in the army led by Wang Quanhu. Because of his innocent background, ability and stability, he was quite popular with Wang Quanhu. After that, He was then sent to Ha Yucheng for training, and served as a captain under Wang Hui until he returned to Yicheng, where he remained silent for several years as the captain of the Yicheng garrison."
"It seems that after this man came to Yicheng, he offended Wang Quanhu for something, and was left there without reuse. He was originally from a humble background, and gradually no one paid attention to him." Meng Sanshu shook his head slightly, " But who would have expected that he was actually a chess piece that Wang Quanhu had hidden in the dark. In the process of power change, Wang Quanhu was pushed back to the forefront, and he took the position of General Yicheng in one move. Wang Quanhu thought that at that time, two of the four cities of Yongchang were already in the hands of the Wang family, so they were as stable as Mount Tai, but he found that Xu Lin... had already surrendered to the head of the Meng family at some point... ."
Luochuan was speechless, and Meng Sanshu continued, "I was a little confused at first. After all, although the heads of the Meng family are not stupid people, they have been in power for a long time and their foundation is not solid enough. How can they do it?" After snatching this man away from Wang Quanhu, it wasn't until Yi Bai told me that day that Hong Xiaozi, the head of Baishou Mountain, was in Yicheng that I vaguely guessed the connection. Behind Xu Lin's incident, I thought it was the Meng family. A transaction between the Lord and the Mountain of Beasts.”
Luo Chuan frowned slightly and asked, "Do you also think that the relationship between Meng Jiaoyang and Baishou Mountain is just a transaction?"
Meng Sanshu noticed the word "ye" in Luochuan's dialect, but did not ask. He just replied, "Everyone knows that Baishou Mountain has an old relationship with the Meng family in Yongchang, but I have followed two generations of Meng family heads, except Xingcheng. Outside of the Annan Conference, I have never seen the Meng family have too close contact with the Baishou Mountain. The Baishou Mountain is within the territory of Yongchang County. To some extent, the interests of the Meng family are consistent. There is no problem in getting along well as neighbors, but let the Baishou Mountain Beast Mountain took risks and solved Xu Lin's problem for the Meng family, but there was always a price to pay. This is also in line with the consistent style of this generation of the Meng family."
When Luo Chuan heard Meng Sanshu talking about the "Annan Conference", he naturally thought of the thousand-year-old ice heart given to him by the elder of Baishou Mountain that night, "So Xu Lin has nothing to do with Baishou Mountain?"
Meng Sanshu said, "The Mountain of Hundred Beasts must have left some tricks on Xu Lin, or used tricks on someone around Xu Lin, but Xu Lin himself will not have much to do with the Mountain of Hundred Beasts. Baishou Mountain is a very special sect. This sect is half hidden from the world. The people in it are cruel to others, to themselves, and to their pet beasts. People like Xu Lin are not something they look down on. ."
Luo Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you know a lot about the Hundred Beasts Mountain?"
Meng Sanshu shook his head and said, "Hundred Beast Mountain is one of the few restricted areas in Yongchang that requires ignorant people not to touch. We are curious about this sect, but all our understanding of them comes from other people’s mouths.”
Luo Chuan asked, "Is there any way to contact the people in Baishou Mountain?"
Meng Sanshu looked at Luochuan, "We know the approximate location of the sect in Baishou Mountain."
Luochuan asked, "Where?"
Meng Sanshu took a look around and then lowered his voice and said, "Deep in the Dagu Mountains east of Yicheng, near the source of the Mian River."
"The Dagu Mountain Range, the source of Mianshui River..." Several maps of Yongchang flashed through Luo Chuan's mind, and he basically determined the location of Baishou Mountain. "In today's Yicheng, are there any Are the people from Baishou Mountain here?"
Meng Sanshu shook his head and said, "It's absolutely impossible to see it from the outside, but secretly, it's hard to say."
Luo Chuan thought for a moment and said, "So I still need to meet this Xu Lin."
Meng Sanshu immediately understood what Luo Chuan meant, "Baishoushan must know that the head of the Meng family made such a choice. Being in Yongchang, it is impossible for Baishoushan not to have contact with the new dynasty. It is indeed very possible that those who stayed in Yicheng will stay with Xu Lin, and there is another place."
Luochuan looked at Meng Sanshu, and Meng Sanshu slowly spit out two words, "Summer Palace."
Luo Chuan frowned slightly, "There are no outsiders in the Summer Palace now."
Meng Sanshu said, "The method of Baishou Mountain is a bit weird. It absorbs many monsters into its own martial arts. It is difficult to guarantee that there will be no way to hold one's breath to restrain the breath, or even hide it underground for a long time. If Yu Taishou If your Excellency suddenly appears in front of the Prefect at an unexpected time, wouldn't the matter discussed be more effective for them?"
Luo Chuan smiled and said, "If this is really the case, I would have underestimated that Master Hongxiao."
Meng Sanshu glanced at Luochuan and said no more.
Luochuan looked back and saw Qianxue's slightly cold figure walking slowly towards her. A smile appeared under her white gauze and she held a dark golden box in her hand. The box was obviously more expensive than the one he received at the same time as his birthday. Much more advanced and much larger.
The smile on Luo Chuan's face disappeared. He glanced at Qianxue and asked, "The real Jinshan?"
Qianxue nodded, handed the dark golden box to the shadow behind Luo Chuan, and gloated, "Our Lord Prefect has been deceived."
Luo Chuan snorted, curled his lips and said, "What's wrong with coaxing? Now this real golden mountain is still in my hands, isn't it?"
Qianxue was too lazy to continue teasing him. She pointed at the box in Shadow's hand and said, "This must be the real Jinshan, but the one Zhao Nanpeng gave you before is definitely not a fake. The two are essentially the same and have the same properties. They are similar, but that one is obviously not older than this one."
"The essence is the same, the properties are similar?" Luo Chuan looked back at the box in Shadow's hand, "If so, why not use this big one to melt the small one? Doesn't it mean that it can melt all the metals in the world?"
Qianxue glanced sideways at Luo Chuan. Her eyes seemed to be looking at the most incompetent prodigal in the world. "After all, this kind of thing is born to be raised and needs to grow slowly. If it is forcibly interfered with, it may even ruin the original temperament." Luck, not to mention that small piece, it is always a rare thing from heaven and earth that is more than a thousand years old. If it melts and nothing comes out in the end, wouldn’t it be a waste?”
Luo Chuan was noncommittal, looked at Qianxue and asked, "How does this thing compare with the Fire Wutong?"
Qianxue was too lazy to look at Luochuan again. Hearing the words, she walked past him and went out, "They are all magical things in the world. There is no comparison."
Meng Sanshu lowered his head slightly, but looked at Qianxue's back from the corner of his eyes. After Qianxue walked away, he said to Luo Chuan, "Someone once commented on the three treasures of Yongchang. The first one was the Fire Wutong, the second was the Golden Mountain, and the last one was It is illusory, and it is rumored that under the Summer Palace, there is the demon elixir of the strange beast that the ancestors of the Meng family saw nine hundred years ago!"
