After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1457 It’s hard to persuade the damn ghost with good words
The foreman opened his mouth to explain, but Dong Rui shouted, "Dig! Why stop?"

Seeing the carpenters continuing to saw the tree, the Qingwei who ran over became anxious and reached out to grab the saw, and some even raised their legs to kick the craftsmen away.

At this time, a carpenter also kicked out, and he arrived first and kicked the young guard a dozen feet away!

With a bang, he hit a big rock by the lake, his head broken and bleeding.

This was too sudden, and even He Yang was stunned. The other Qing guards were furious and rushed forward to attack with force.

So what if they were beaten to death? They were just a few carpenters and a few dead lives. Would the court still dare to punish them?
The two sides fought each other with bangs.

In the chaos, two carpenters swung axes and rushed towards He Yang without saying a word, one on the left and one on the right, one hitting his head and face, and the other chopping his waist and abdomen. He Yang raised a hook to hold one and kicked the other away.

I felt something was wrong as soon as I started. Why were these two carpenters so strong?

As soon as he thought about it, the claws suddenly grew from three feet to nearly five feet long, and the gleaming tip of the claws reached the carpenter's nose in an instant. The latter was so frightened that he suddenly bent down, and his eyeballs were almost scratched off.

Almost.

However, there were still two bloody scratches from the forehead to the left cheek.

His companions quickly attacked and drew He Yang's attention back.

In a blink of an eye, the third carpenter jumped out from the left, swung a wooden stick, and swept across He Yang's lower body.

He Yang dodged the attack from the second man, and just as he saw a wooden stick coming at him, he didn't think twice and stretched out his hand to support the stick, using the force to jump sideways. His body was bent into a straight line in the air, and he kicked the third carpenter with his toes.

The latter raised his arm to block, but was kicked two meters away with a bang!
It's strange. Although chopping trees and doing carpentry work requires strong arms, these three people acted quickly and coordinated closely without any unnecessary tricks. They are obviously experts in fighting.

Oh, it’s strange that he is a carpenter!

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud sound of footsteps from behind, and at least a hundred people rushed over.

Among them were guards from Yang Shan as well as the imperial guard Zhao Song, who were ordered to bring people to support He Lingchuan and maintain order.

Arrived just in time and intervened forcefully.

"Stop it, everyone!"

The three parties were in chaos.

Zhao Song took great effort to persuade both sides to leave. Two of his guards were beaten black and blue, one had broken ribs, and the other had blood coming out of the corner of his eye, and they almost lost their lives.

The Qingwei were fine, no casualties. Strangely, the people under the squad leader seemed to be fine, only one had redness on his face, and another was holding his lower back.

He Lingchuan and Zhang Shan also rushed over and asked repeatedly, "What's going on?"

He Yang said in a deep voice: "You guys are laying the foundation, why are you here to dig the bridgehead! This place is not in your plan, He Xiao, do you want to cross the line?"

They have been patient for several hours, but these bastards really don't know what is good for them and don't know how to live or die!

"The troupe of the Qing Palace is going to perform a horse-riding show, and they need to erect a long wooden pole three feet above the ground. They can only use local materials. Looking around, this ginkgo tree is the most suitable." He Lingchuan turned around and asked Zhang Shan, "Second Master Zhang, am I right?"

"Ah..." Zhang Shan was stunned. His family's opera troupe did know this unique skill. Usually, there was a high platform with wooden beams in the palace, which was specially used for horse-riding performances. But he did not plan to let the opera troupe perform this act on the south bank of Youhu Lake.

However, since He Xiao came to pick a fight with the other side, he couldn't spoil it, so he could only respond vaguely with "hmm".

He Yang said coldly: "Then don't act! This is not your territory."

Zhang Shan was also somewhat displeased when he heard this.

He is a member of the royal family of Yao State. It would be fine if Qingyang scolded him personally, but even her guards could give him orders in such a tone?

"Guardian He, the land under your feet belongs to the royal family, and this ginkgo tree is no exception." Zhang Shan said with a fake smile, "Of course we have the right to dispose of it. Whether to cut it down or keep it is up to us."

He Yang opened his mouth to speak, but at this moment a carpenter kicked the tree. The tree had been sawed in half and could not withstand the force, so it broke with a loud bang!

This carpenter... He Yang was so angry that veins bulged on his forehead.

It is not known whether these people are He's subordinates or palace guards in disguise.

A big tree fell down, raising a cloud of dust.

He Lingchuan raised his chin to the foreman, who immediately said to the carpenters, "Take the wood and move it away!"

The workers picked up their tools again and started sawing wood again.

The ginkgo tree had already fallen, and there was no point in He Yang confronting He Lingchuan and the others. He said coldly: "Do you want to block the regent's way? Move the branches and forks away as well!"

He Lingchuan smiled and said, "Of course, of course."

The soul-stealing mirror in his arms kept humming: "This kid is not stupid. He knows that we want to use trees to block the bridge."

The carpenters worked hard and only the bare trunk of the ginkgo tree was left, which was then placed on the stage. The foreman also ordered his men to move the chopped branches away, so that they were no longer blocking the way to the bridge.

Until then, He Yang and others returned to the cottage with gloomy faces, but left two people to guard the place in case any trouble happened again.

The bustle of Youhu Lake continued for a long time until the troupe ended their performance and people left.

Night falls.

The ground on the south bank was covered with red paper from firecrackers, and the servants began to clean up the mess.

He Lingchuan was also planning to leave. At this time, a beautiful woman with a high bun walked out from behind the canna lilies on the river bank. Her jewelry and rings jingled, and she was followed by several guards.

At first glance, he is no more than forty years old, and looks elegant and graceful.

As soon as He Lingchuan saw her, he stopped:
Qingyang finally appeared!
"Master Regent." He Lingchuan came forward, full of enthusiasm, "The foundation laying ceremony for Youhu Villa is very lively today, but it's a pity that Master Regent is not here."

He guessed that Qingyang should be back by now, because He Yang had just left Youhu in a hurry.

Now, He Yang is standing behind Qing Yang.

Fan Shuang also followed and saluted Qingyang.

The guests who came to support the show had already gone back. They were just there to complete their mission and were not that addicted to listening to opera. Now, only He Lingchuan, Fan Shuang and others were by the Youhu Lake.

Fan Shuang was very surprised that Qingyang Regent had waited until this time to return to Youhu.

He even felt that the Regent deliberately avoided the groundbreaking ceremony of the villa.

However, is this possible?
The Regent entered and exited the royal court and the emperor's study as if he were in his own home. How could he possibly avoid a small groundbreaking ceremony?

It is said that you should not hit a smiling person, but Qingyang looked at He Lingchuan with indifference: "For your own good, put away these clever tricks. King Yao is not the Crown Prince of Chiyan, and he will not take responsibility for you. One day he will push you out to die without even saying hello."

She was warning He Lingchuan.

Is He Xiao trying to repeat his old tricks? He was able to stay alive under Qingyang's watch in Lingxu City by playing both sides and making all kinds of moves. Now that he's in Tianshui City, does he still want to do the same?
But his backers changed.

Fu Shanyue was really good to He Xiaoke. He always protected him wholeheartedly in Lingxu City and made full use of Prince Chiyan's identity and abilities. However, King Yao was not a reliable partner. Based on Qingyang's understanding of him, he would not mind selling He Lingchuan as long as the timing was right.

Fan Shuang was sweating. Is this something he can listen to?

Should he refute the regent's criticism of the monarch? But he didn't want to attract the regent's attention at all.

He Lingchuan smiled unchanged: "Why do you say that, Regent? I just bought a piece of land from the royal family to build a building."

Is this boy determined to go against her to the end?
"The worst thing to do in life is to overestimate your own abilities. There are some muddy waters that you shouldn't wade into." Qingyang also smiled, his eyes gradually becoming sharper. "I wanted to ask you when I was in Lingxu City, what exactly are you trying to do?"

She could never confirm whether He Lingchuan was working for Shuang Ye.

If not, why did he have to go against her?
People like He Xiao must have a purpose and a reason for their actions.

He Lingchuan also stopped smiling and said seriously, "Actually, I also want to ask the Regent, given your age and experience, you should have been enjoying your retirement long ago, but you are still working so hard in a foreign country, what are you trying to achieve?"

"I am also doing this for the good of Yao Nation." Qing Yang looked him up and down and shook his head. "It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. You and... are both... What a pity for your talent!"

After saying this, she sighed regretfully and turned to walk up the bridge.

He Yang looked at He Lingchuan gloomily and followed closely behind.

He Lingchuan watched their backs as they crossed the bridge and disappeared behind the bushes.

He knew that he had let go of the chance to make peace with Qingyang.

"Brother Fan, let's go and eat." He Lingchuan touched his belly, "I'm hungry after a busy day."

"Oh, okay." Actually, Fan Shuang didn't have much of an appetite. Standing next to He Xiao and facing Qingyang Regent, he felt a little shaky.

The Regent's power is greater than that of the King.

He Xiao is indeed an extraordinary person, he can act as if nothing happened.

He Lingchuan said to him again: "By the way, I want to buy a house in the suburbs of Tianshui City. Brother Fan, can you help me find one?"

"It's a small matter." Fan Shuang wished He Lingchuan would give him a job. "What are your requirements for size, price, and location?"

"As for the area, it just needs to be spacious for me and my brothers to live in. There has to be a river nearby and a pond in the house. Also, it shouldn't be too far from Youhu Lake so that I can commute to work easily."

Fan Shuang readily agreed: "Leave it to me."

……

After returning to the inn, Soul Mirror asked He Lingchuan: "Hey, do you still want to live in Tianshui City for a long time?"

As He Lingchuan's intimate mirror, it knew very well what its master came to Yao Kingdom for.

They were just passers-by, why did the owner suddenly think of buying a house?
"This is the most coveted place for the Shining Gold People. What's wrong with me buying a house?"

"Lingxu City is still the most desirable place for people all over the world. Why don't you buy a house there?"

He Lingchuan poured hot water into the basin: "In Lingxu City, everyone knows that I will leave soon, so there is no need for me to buy a house there."

His apparent reason for going to Lingxu City was to assist in the case of the elixir of life. After the case was completed and his reasons were exhausted, he left.

"What about Tianshui City?"

"I am here on behalf of the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce to expand trade routes and build connections. I must achieve something. If I don't even buy a house and just live in the inn all day, King Yao will suspect that I want to run away at any time, and he will inevitably keep a closer eye on me."
