However, the people who searched for him also said that they must hurry up before Fu Shanyue returned to the post house.

The identity of the Prince of Scarlet Yan still makes the superiors have some scruples. After all, the relationship between Scarlet Yan Kingdom and Lingxu City has been tense recently, and the identity of the real culprit who massacred the demon people in various countries points to the high-level officials of Lingxu City, so the Demon Emperor probably does not want to

Adding fuel to the fire.

But how long can this scruple last, or in other words, how long can their patience last? It's hard to say.

He Lingchuan knew that he had to dispel Bai Ziqi's suspicion as soon as possible, even if it was temporary.

However, at least he can get a good sleep tonight.

…

Soul Township, Chipa Plateau.

He Lingchuan turned around and sneezed.

Who is talking about him behind his back, or is there too much paprika in the roasted lamb?

"I'll do it." Shao Jian took the pepper bottle from his hand, took the knife and scratched the lamb leg twice more, "When it comes to roasting lamb, I'm second best, but no one dares to be first."

In the past ten years of being in exile, he has spent the most time in the wild.

He Lingchuan retracted his hands and sat back on the log, seeing a red round signet ring on his ring finger.

The surface of the ring is not inlaid with precious stones or jade like other merchants, but is instead engraved with patterns and words.

"Your ring is a bit strange."

"This?" Shao Jian turned his fingers and glanced, "I once went to the west to do business and saw that the wealthy people there all wore this kind of signet ring. When you want to seal, you only need to make a fist and press it. It is very convenient, so I will do the same.

Made a signet ring.”

He pointed it out to He Lingchuan, who asked, "Is this pattern a conch?"

"Yes, the first chamber of commerce I founded was called the Hongluo Chamber of Commerce." Shao Jian said with a smile, "It does some transportation at the seaside port."

He looked at He Lingchuan and said: "Now that the Xiqiao Plain has been captured by Panlong City, you should go south if you have the chance. The life of people on the seaside is completely different from that of our inland people."

He Lingchuan specifically pointed to the dry goods he bought: "We will stew together delicacies from the mountains and sea."

"Exactly." Shao Jian laughed. He made a special trip to the Chipa Plateau to buy dried red mushrooms from a specific farmer, saying that what they sold was much better than what was sold in shops in the city. How to say that:

Authentic.

My beloved daughter likes red mushroom soup the most, and she asked him to take more of it back. Just because of this sentence, Shao Jian, a doting lover, had to travel an extra fifty miles, and He Lingchuan had to accompany him as his bodyguard.

The journey was long and it got dark quickly, so the two simply stayed in a farmer's barn and bought a black goat from the owner for dinner. The mutton was barbecued and the mutton bones were cooked in soup.

The little girl is right, the red mushrooms go well with the mutton soup. The dried mushrooms are soaked and then stewed, and the soup is clear and red, which looks very warming. Although there is a little oil on the surface, it is actually

It has a refreshing but not greasy taste, with the unique aroma of mountain delicacies.

He Lingchuan gave Shao Jian a bowl of soup: "How old is your daughter?"

"She's seven years old." Shao Jian said with a smile on his face when talking about his daughter, "She's very naughty, she doesn't have the dignity of a girl, and now she can even climb trees and vault horses."

As soon as he said this, he couldn't stop talking.

It turned out that he passed through a small town ten years ago and fell in love with a woman. They soon got married and had a daughter two years later.

Shao Jian was hated by his country and his family and spent half his life in exile, lamenting day and night; however, after he got his daughter, his world regained its color.

He even showed He Lingchuan the amulet around his waist.

Tie up with red rope, it is a little rough and clumsy, but it is made by my beloved daughter. He travels all over the country and never fails to wear it.

He Lingchuan smiled and said, "What's her name?"

"Shao Yingying, whose nickname is Yanzi. Hey, let me tell you, there is nothing more true than the joy of family love in the world." Shao Jian turned over the mutton in his hand again, "So I really admire Brother Zhong, who can do what others cannot."

If it were him, he would definitely be reluctant to sacrifice his own daughter, and would rather use himself instead.

Having said this, he sighed with emotion.

He Lingchuan smiled, what kind of father is there in the world?

However, he still followed Shao Jian's words and said: "Mr. Shao is also great. From now on, I will fight against the gods alone."

Shao Jian laughed: "Last year, I took my Yingying to visit the West Street Temple Fair in Linhe City. Yingying liked the rice cakes there the most. I bought them for her every time I came home. A fortune teller told me my fortune.

Look, also write

The fourteen-word greeting was stuffed into the gourd, "Singing wildly and drunkenly, I am light, and I don't ask for peace from the wind and rain." Hehe, he said that I am wandering in this life and it is difficult to have a good ending. After Yingying understood it, she cried for several nights."

He shook his head: "This is my fate, I accept it. But I hope that Yingying's life will be safe and smooth, and she will not follow in my footsteps."

He Lingchuan said softly: "Then you should stay away from her."

Shao Jian glanced at him and said bitterly: "Yes, that's it."

He closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, and then changed the topic and said, "I think Brother Zhong and General Red are interested in cultivating you. Work hard, and the young man will have a bright future."

Over the past few days, he and He Lingchuan had gradually become familiar with each other.

"Me?" He Lingchuan smiled in surprise, "I'm just a little boy."

"If you can enter the Gangge Hall and listen to us discuss the Dragon Pillar, then you are no ordinary pawn." Shao Jian cut off a piece of mutton and gave it to him. "I think you are a kind person and do things in a measured way. These are excellent qualities.

"

"Is he a kind person?" Only in Soul Village could anyone praise him like this. In reality, no matter whether he was a friend or an enemy, they all said he was evil.

He Lingchuan tasted the roasted lamb. The outer layer of the charred skin was crispy and crispy. When he took a bite, the inside was tender and juicy.

Shao Jian's craftsmanship really surpassed him by a dozen.

"Of course. Be kind to others, make more friends and less enemies, and the road ahead will become wider and wider." Shao Jian set up the mutton, took a bowl and took a sip of the hot soup, "To achieve great things, you don't need to be impressive. As long as you can

To achieve your goal, why not be softer?"

"Brother Zhong and I once traveled to Lingxu City together and saw him discussing with doctors in the Taixue Academy, leaving them speechless. At that time, I admired his knowledge and temperament and felt that this man was heroic.

Qian Yun, the world is sober. But, after so many years of ups and downs, looking back, Brother Zhong’s stubbornness and outspokenness are destined to suffer in the court, otherwise how could he be sent to the Panlong Wasteland later? "

"Don't learn from him on this point." He and He Lingchuan both finished half a bowl of mutton soup. "As long as you have great ambitions and perseverance, you are humble and respectful. What's the harm in having to compromise? They are just means, the final result is important, not

What?"

After Shao Jian had a daughter, his heart became much softer. When he saw a junior like He Lingchuan, he had a love for talents and could not help but teach him earnestly.

He Lingchuan followed Shao Jian and learned more about Bejia.

This knowledge comes from personal experience and is difficult to obtain from books.

But this man never mentioned Yuan Kingdom. He Lingchuan tried to lure him there several times intentionally or unintentionally, but he always distracted him. This name was like his curse and taboo, and no one was allowed to touch it.

He Lingchuan could only choose relatively safe topics, such as:

"Mr. Wu, what is the temper of the Demon Emperor? Does he really want to obey the orders of the gods?"

"The current Demon Emperor is talented and has great strategies. In the two hundred years since he has been in power, Bejia has not failed."

He Lingchuan stirred the fire: "If you can keep Bejia alive, will you be able to rule the roost?"

It is now the seventeenth year of the Panlong Calendar, and the second demon emperor of Bejia is still on the throne; by the time He Lingchuan lived in, this man was already called the "First Emperor" by the people of Bejia.

"Such a vast territory, such complex national conditions, and more and more accumulated abuses and obsolescence over the past hundreds of years." Shao Jian cut another piece of mutton and chewed it slowly. "It is difficult to govern a country. It is difficult to reach the sky. How to maintain a large and powerful country?"

It is already extremely difficult to survive. Look at these human countries around us. They only lasted for less than a hundred years, and as short as seven or eight years, dynasties changed and were annexed."

But his original intention was not to praise his family's murderer, so he changed his tone:

"But these so-called demon emperors, demon kings and so-called national teachers are all murderers and traitors in the world!"

He Lingchuan's eyes flickered: "Traitor?"

"The demon emperor's ancestors were all powerful demon immortals. They fought firmly and fearlessly against the invasion of gods. Even if they were martyred, they would never move forward." Shao Jian said coldly, "Who would have thought that their descendants would turn over to the enemy more than two thousand years later and commit suicide.

I am willing to serve as a pawn of the gods and harm the people for them!"

"What is this if not a traitor? He has brought all the face of our ancestors to shame!" This last sentence couldn't help but turn into a stern statement.

He Lingchuan was speechless for a moment. Two thousand years is such a long time. The sea has turned into mulberry fields, not to mention the changes in personnel?

What's more, more than 600 years ago, the founding demon emperor of Bejia was also faced with a situation where the demon clan was weak and squeezed out by humans with no room for survival, so he had no choice but to call in foreign aid.

The main conflict at that time was already between humans and demons; how could the demon emperor at that time fight side by side with the immortals like his ancestors in ancient times?

He Lingchuan asked for advice again: "Empress Mitian said that the gods have been sucking the nightmare energy from this world. I was listening to the lecture at Wenxiantang, and I also heard that the relationship between the human world and the divine world is one of ebb and flow, and they have sucked in more nightmare energy.

, which led to the depletion of spiritual energy in our world. Do the demon emperors and demon kings of Bega know about this?"

Shao Jian was surprised: "Wenxiantang still teaches this?"

He also went to Wenxiantang to attend lectures and knew that there were open classes. Would Panlong City reveal such secrets to the citizens?

"Taught me, taught me." He Lingchuan lied without batting an eyelid, and even gave him a sincere smile.

"Of course Bejia's senior officials know." The firelight danced in Shao Jian's eyes, "The resources of the divine world have been exhausted, and the gods must extract the energy for survival from the human world. Once the essence of the essence existing in the bodies of all living creatures spills out, it will become a nightmare.

Qi! Demons and humans contain enough nightmare energy, especially humans, who are numerous in number and are the best source of nightmare energy."

"However, in the process of natural aging, the nightmare energy will continue to dissipate and return to the world. So——"

It turned out that Tian Shengzi's inference was indeed correct. He Lingchuan whispered: "So there is going to be a war?"

"Only war can quickly harvest the lives of young adults, just like harvesting the freshest leeks."
