Qingyang also raised his eyebrows. Bai Ziqi is indeed worthy of being called the Duyun Envoy. He has been the Duyun Envoy for so long, but he still has the habit of speaking his mind. If the Duyun Envoy was here today, he would never ask like this.
Bai Ziqi continued to ask: "When did this happen? Which immortal did it happen?"
"It was more than sixty years ago, wasn't it?" King Yao said with a smile, "Which immortal did the former king dream about? There is no record in the palace, and I wasn't even born at that time."
Bai Ziqi didn't ask any more questions and just praised the ice cream in his hand as delicious.
King Yao smiled and said, "Since Envoy Bai likes it, I'll have someone copy a recipe for you. But you need to use the freshest vanilla seeds to make this bingba. If it's transported over long distances, it will lose some of its flavor."
At this time, the old palace servant Qiu Long walked into the Qingyin Pavilion, stood beside King Yao and whispered:
"Master You is here to report on the progress of the project. He is waiting to see you in the Imperial Study."
Every five to seven days, the progress of the Tianshui East Expansion Project must be reported. This is the top priority for Tianshui City right now, and King Yao is in charge, so of course he will personally inquire about it.
But when he heard You Rongzhi was here, he frowned and asked, "Why isn't it He Xiao?"
The person who should have gone to the palace to report on work today was He Xiao.
"The outer wall of the new government office has been built. This morning, the ground suddenly collapsed and the entire building sank into the pit. He Xiao presided over an emergency meeting to assess the damage and investigate the cause, so Lord You came to the palace to report." Qiu Long continued, "Lord You said that the rainy season has passed and the ground is no longer wet. It is inappropriate for the collapse to happen at this time, so the material problem must be strictly investigated."
With such a large project and the deadline being so tight, it is natural that problems will arise every now and then. Yao Wang was a little unhappy at first, but now he is used to it. If problems arise, they will be solved. Anyway, there will be no shortage of problems, big or small:
"Let You Rongzhi wait, I'll be there later."
Bai Ziqi and Qingyang had good hearing, and Qiu Long did not set up any barrier, so both of them could hear what he reported.
So Bai Ziqi smiled and said, "Your Majesty has a keen eye for talent. He Xiao is indeed a talented person."
Yao Wang clapped his hands and said: "I and Envoy Bai Du have similar views."
He used He Xiao to defeat Qingyang, Shuang Ye also used He Xiao to attack Qingyang, and even Bai Ziqi took over the case from He Xiao and continued to work on it before sending Qingyang to the prison in the Heavenly Palace.
He Xiao is really Qingyang's nemesis! Thinking of this, King Yao couldn't stop smiling.
Qing Yang said leisurely: "He Xiao is a man with evil intentions. He seems to be thinking about you in everything, but in fact, whoever uses him will be hurt. On this point, Imperial Master Shuang Ye should have the most say."
King Yao laughed and said, "Whoever uses him will be unlucky? Not necessarily. I think the prince of Chiyan, Fushan Yue, is living a good life."
The trigger of the immortality drug case was the disappearance of the Lingxu messenger, a case that Fu Shanyue personally handed over to He Xiao, and he seemed to have supported He Xiao throughout the whole process. But isn't he still fine now?
This sentence really hit the blind spot, and Qingyang found it difficult to refute it for a while.
Fortunately, Bai Ziqi spoke up: "I heard from Envoy Liang that the new temple of the goddess is about to start construction. I want to go and take a look."
He was a divine messenger, so it was reasonable for him to make such a request. King Yao agreed immediately: "I will let You Rongzhi be a guide for Envoy Bai Du."
After dinner, he went to listen to You Rongzhi's briefing first; Bai Ziqi and Qingyang strolled in Yuquan Palace and reminisced about the past.
It was freezing cold here, with the ground covered in snow. Normally, no palace servants dared to stay here, so it provided a quiet place for the two to talk.
Qingyang spoke first: "You have never changed your outspokenness, no wonder you were thrown to the Shining Gold Plains by the mastermind."
Bai Ziqi smiled bitterly. Qingyang still saw through him. "It's been decades. I can't change it."
He pointed to the wall and asked, "Have you found out the cause of death of that old pear tree?"
"King Yao got angry several times, and the tree doctor gave the opinion that it was dying rapidly, which was not man-made. Look at the environment of Yuquan Palace, even a tree demon would not be able to survive. It is not easy for it to survive for sixty years." Qingyang shook his head, "I have always wondered why King Yao must live next to Yuquan Palace? He is obviously old and weak and can no longer tolerate the cold."
In the past, when the old pear tree was still there, King Yao could still find an excuse to say that he was crazy about trees.
Now that Lao Li is gone, why is King Yao still guarding Yuquan Palace?
"Why did the old pear blossom die at the birthday celebration of King Yao?" Bai Ziqi stroked his chin and pondered habitually, "Why do things always die in Yao Kingdom inexplicably recently?"
Qingyang knew that the other "thing" who died in unclear circumstances was Xue Zongwu.
"You can volunteer to investigate the cause. King Yao will be overjoyed to have a free helper like you." Qingyang said leisurely, "You have nothing to do these days anyway."
"How do you know I have nothing to do?" Bai Ziqi was very smart and reacted immediately, "Oh, you are also involved in the goddess's plan?"
Qingyang didn't comment: "What plan?"
She had been away from Lingxu for too long, and she had kind of forgotten that she had to be extra careful when talking to Bai Ziqi.
Well, it’s the same when facing He Xiao.
Bai Ziqi grabbed a handful of snow from the railing: "Master Liang said that the goddess has an important plan. Even the goddess thinks it is 'important', so this plan needs a strong executor and coordinator, and Master Liang——"
He shook his head: "——Master Liang is not good at this."
In fact, it's not just Liang who is good at it, the entire Heavenly Palace is not good at it.
Therefore, the Heavenly Palace needs Lingxu City, Beijia, and a powerful and complete administrative system.
"Qingyang Regent is a good candidate, and you and the goddess have always had a good relationship. Such an important responsibility will most likely fall on you."
There are quite a few gods in Lingxu, and each god is an independent individual with his own temper and inclinations. Bai Ziqi knows very well that although Qingyang is the confidant of the Demon Emperor, she actually has a good relationship with Miao Zhantian, otherwise the Demon Emperor would not have sent her to supervise the Yao Kingdom.
The son of King Yao died in the case of the immortality medicine, so of course he holds a grudge against Qingyang. If Qingyang continues to have a bad relationship with Miao Zhantian, the Demon Emperor will send her here to die.
Besides, Qingyang himself has 200 years of experience in military and political career. Isn't he the best candidate to plan the organization?
Qingyang shrugged his shoulders and said, "God has bestowed upon this man a great responsibility. What on earth are you doing in Yao Country? Are you really here to investigate the Nine Nether Emperor?"
"I have to investigate the Nine Nether Emperor, but I received a more important clue on the way." Bai Ziqi raised his chin slightly, "Master Qianhuan!"
Qingyang had a blank expression on his face: "I have heard no less than seven versions of the legends of Master Qianhuan in Yao Country."
"It's very reliable this time, because I found the Soul Gathering Formation of Master Qianhuan!"
Qingyang finally raised his voice: "Where is it?"
"White Hair Mountain."
"…Isn't that in the Golden West?"
"The great spirit gathering formation is there, but Qian Huan himself may not be there, or ninety-nine percent of the time he is not there." Bai Ziqi said seriously, "I came to Yao Country to seek the help of the goddess."
"Yes, the godhead that Miaozhan God controls is 'Reality', which happens to counteract the True Man Qianhuan." Qingyang said, "Hmm", "Did the goddess ask you to wait a little longer?"
"That's right." Bai Ziqi said, "I plan to go to Mangzhou and take a look at the crime scene in Xiaotao Villa."
Mangzhou is very close to the capital.
He thought for a moment and said, "I would like to hear your inference about the Nine Nether Emperor."
Qingyang said calmly: "I'm not investigating this case."
She has always been a bystander in watching what Emperor Jiuyou did.
"Don't you have any suspect in your mind?" Qingyang is Qingyang after all. Bai Ziqi believes that an old hand like her has her own basis for judgment, and even her intuition is often very accurate.
A name suddenly flashed through Qingyang's mind.
But she didn't say it, because Bai Ziqi would ask why, and she couldn't tell the reason at all.
"What about you?" Qing Yang asked back, "After investigating for so long, who do you think is the most suspicious?"
"I have only been in the Golden Plains for more than two months. How many people can I recognize?" Bai Ziqi said with a smile, "I have come all this way and I feel that the Golden Plains are very different from before. Even Julu Port has some signs of prosperity - although it is still as chaotic as before."
"The methods of this Jiuyou Emperor are different from those of the previous ones. It's ridiculous that King Yao doesn't take him seriously, so shallow!" Qingyang also said, "If we can find out his motives, maybe we can reveal his true face."
Bai Ziqi confirmed again: "Really have no clue?"
Qingyang shook his head: "I said, I don't care."
……
Tianshui eastern suburbs, expansion project.
As soon as He Lingchuan's meeting ended, Wang Fubao rushed in and reported: "My lord, Lord You has returned, but he has dozens of people with him! The man in the lead is about forty years old, and his face is not good-looking. Lord You is always half a horse length behind him!"
Wang Fubao followed He Lingchuan to travel all over the country, and he was no longer the young boy from Rongshan. His eyes became sharper and sharper, and he also knew how to grasp the key points when investigating the enemy.
Simply put, You Rongzhi accompanied the distinguished guests to the project team, and lagging behind by half a horse's length was a sign of respect.
When several elements in these words came out, He Lingchuan's heart was slightly startled, knowing that Bai Ziqi had come.
“How many soldiers are you bringing?”
"There are about forty guards, but their uniforms are different. The rest are followers."
"Be patient." He saw that Wang Fubao was a little nervous. "Lead them to Gangxi."
The number of people in the eastward expansion project team increased, and the original buildings could no longer accommodate them, so four or five new city government offices under construction were temporarily requisitioned. Wang Fubao received the order and ran away.
You Rongzhi didn't say much after hearing this, and immediately led Bai Ziqi and others over:
Gangxi is located on the bank of the Chun River and has beautiful scenery. It is reasonable for He Xiao to hope that the envoys from the Tiangong will see the best side of the new city's construction.
When Bai Ziqi approached Gangxi, he saw a long river with unfrozen water. The government office was right by the river, and tall pines were lined up behind him, like ink painting.
He Lingchuan and his men came out to greet them, smiling broadly:
"Empress Bai, long time no see!"
With a glance, he got a rough idea of the situation on the other side. The person who came was indeed Bai Ziqi, accompanied by You Rongzhi, and followed by fifty or sixty followers, of which about twenty were dressed in the uniforms of the temple guards.
