The protagonists have golden fingers

In the next few days, immortal cultivators could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, and they asked people about Youyun's secret treasure when they caught them.

The waiter and the shopkeeper of Zuixianlou have also changed from being confused at the beginning to being calm now. They don't even raise their heads when they hear the footsteps, but they just don't know.

Gu Zhuangcheng watched the farce on the street through the window amusedly, without any intention of joining them.

"Aren't you going?" Su Lanqing slipped out of the post house, pretended to walk around the street twice, and then came directly to Zuixianlou, refusing to go down again.

Gu Zhuangcheng looked back at him, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Isn't Special Envoy Su not going?"

"Although this special envoy will not look for the treasure of Naluo Shizi, if there is such a thing, it will be returned to the national treasury."

Su Lanqing was wrapped in a thick overcoat, buried her face in the fluffy collar, and reiterated expressionlessly.

Gu Zhuangcheng nodded.As the special envoy of the Son of Heaven, Su Lanqing is probably also interested in treasures besides trying to take down King Pingyou, who is plotting against him.

This is also impossible. The first emperor was warlike, and he spent decades of it. Before the new emperor took the throne, there were several heavy snowfalls. There was no harvest in various places, and he had to open warehouses to release grain, causing the treasury to be empty.

If these legendary treasures can be obtained, the dilemma of the state treasury being stretched can be greatly alleviated.It also avoids the situation where I feel a headache every time I see the account book of the Ministry of household affairs.

Su Lanqing's small calculations were clattering in his heart, and when he turned his head and saw Gu Zhuangcheng's confident appearance, he couldn't help but feel vigilant: "This special envoy's ugly words have been said before, if these treasures are fake, then that's fine; but if they are true, If anyone dares to snatch it, don't blame Special Envoy Ben for being rude!"

Gu Zhuangcheng could hardly hold back.He hurriedly turned his back, secretly covered his mouth and nodded for a while, but didn't dare to speak.

Fortunately, Su Lanqing didn't need his answer, he just informed the other party, not discussed with him.

Su Lanqing has always been easy to talk to people who know current affairs.Perhaps because he felt that his words were too harsh, he softened a little, and added reluctantly: "Of course, if you really like something, this special envoy allows you to take it away in advance."

Gu Zhuangcheng rubbed his nose, smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Then thank you Special Envoy Su!"

Su Lan's face was cold, and she snorted strangely, her eyes fell on the figures on the street again, a mocking smile appeared on her face: "These idiots are really..."

Really, I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth.

Gu Zhuangcheng didn't want to think about the fate of this group of people, anyway, they won't die in the past few decades.

He is now concerned about another matter: "Where is He Zhiyun?" Ever since they exposed the identity of the fake He Zhiyun, they have never seen him again, and now the real He Zhiyun is also missing, so people can't help but wonder. On tenterhooks.

Su Lanqing said: "He's fine, he's probably in the palace right now, playing chess with Princess Dongyang."

Gu Zhuangcheng: "..."

oh.Worrying for nothing.

"But I'm very strange." Su Lanqing said again, "At this time, shouldn't you care about Pavilion Master Shen? I remember that Pavilion Master Shen was sitting with you that day, why was there no sign of him at the table?"

As he said that, he glanced to the side, and fell on Yanqing who was trying to treat himself as an invisible person.

The girl seemed to have noticed his gaze, and raised her head in a little panic, her light-colored eyes were full of fear and confusion.

Su Lanqing looked at her for a moment, then looked away silently, shaking his head secretly in his heart.He didn't know about Shen Yan, but he had also heard about his deeds. It sounded like he should be an extremely proud person. Things like men disguised as women probably wouldn't happen to him.

Gu Zhuangcheng's eyes fluttered in embarrassment, then he came over and got closer, lowering his voice and said: "I didn't want to talk to the special envoy about this, but since the special envoy asked... To be honest, Pavilion Master Shen did return to Yunzhuang Pavilion, just the night before the banquet."

"Why is this?"

Gu Zhuangcheng smiled wryly and said: "My Pavilion Master Shen and I actually arrived at Youyun half a month ago, but some accidents happened later, Pavilion Master Shen was injured, and he didn't recover after nearly half a month. It was really helpless, so we returned to Yunyun Beijing, sending the youth-weary girl here can be regarded as giving face to Shendaomen."

"So that's how it is." Su Lanqing was stunned, and then smiled, "When the matter here is over, I will ask the emperor for a favor, search for some good medicines in the palace, and send them to Yunzhuang Pavilion."

It is said that the Marquis of Zhennan has a close relationship with Jinshang, and now it seems that his reputation is really well-deserved!

Gu Zhuangcheng was secretly surprised, but still had a smile on his face, and thanked him for his kindness.

-

"Ah-choo!" In the palace three hundred miles away from Youyun, a young man in a black gold dragon robe sneezed twice.

He rubbed his nose and wrinkled his face in distress, "Qin Tianjian said that it is not suitable to travel in the next few days, I just took it as a joke..." His face was pale, his cheeks were flushed, and his lips were dry. He was obviously sick.

The accompanying imperial doctor bowed and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. It is said that illnesses come and go like a thread. Your Majesty will be well after taking care of her for a few days! Your Majesty will be able to leave in less than three days."

"Really? That's really great." The emperor smiled, "Lan Qing is far away in Youyun alone, without me to support him, I don't know how much he will suffer! Now I can only pray, he will not be so angry Now, before I can go there, I will demolish Prince Pingyou's Mansion first!"

The accompanying imperial doctor heard the words, and just wanted to say a few good words for a certain young special envoy, but when he thought of the other party's "great achievements", he couldn't say a few good words at all.

However, the emperor still stared at him brightly, obviously wanting to hear something nice from him.

There was no other way, the old imperial doctor had no choice but to ignorant of his conscience, and said softly: "Your Majesty is still young, you should lose your temper if you can't stand being wronged. Your Majesty, don't worry, I believe that there are not so many sane people in Youyun City." .”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and yawned involuntarily.As soon as he left the imperial city, he caught wind and cold. Fortunately, the imperial doctor was effective, and he gradually recovered after taking care of him for a few days.Just still a little drowsy and lethargic.

Seeing this, the old imperial doctor hurriedly resigned.The eunuch standing beside him hurriedly asked someone to send the imperial doctor out, and he himself served the emperor to lie down.

The young emperor refused to close his eyes. He opened them and stared blankly at the top of the bed.After a long time, he let out a long sigh, and said wearily: "If I go back, I should accept my concubine."

The chief eunuch didn't speak, the emperor's words were unquestionable, since he said that he wanted to accept a concubine when he went back, even if he favored a court lady, he deserved it.Therefore, he just quietly lowered the bed curtain.

The emperor sighed again, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep after a while.

-

After Su Lanqing left, Gu Zhuangcheng looked at Yanqing, shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm gone, you don't have to pretend."

Yan Qing glared at him, took off the veil on his face, and unraveled the spell of disguise—it was Shen Yan.

Gu Zhuangcheng said again: "If you don't want to go to that banquet, just wait for me at the inn. Why do you need to dress like this?"

Shen Yan was silent for a moment, and said: "Originally I didn't plan to go, but thinking that He Ling might be hiding in the Divine Sword Gate, I had no choice but to go."

He wanted to verify his own ideas, but he didn't want to be exposed to the other party's sight. He had no choice but to go back to his old business.

"Then... what's your conclusion? He Ling is really at the Magic Sword Sect?"

"Nine out of ten." Shen Yan sighed, "If He Ling hadn't done what he did before, I should have taken him as a disciple and taught him the real silk-drawing technique."

It is a certain fact that Shen Yan studied under Xie Qingming.It is also an indisputable fact that he also relied on the Xie family's puppet technique to make his fortune after escaping from Qingming Mountain.

Xie Qingming is dead, and only Shen Yan is left in the world who knows the Xie family's thread-drawing technique.

Now, there is another extremely talented person, even a puppet, which made Shen Yan want to accept disciples.

If He Ling wasn't so thoughtful and unscrupulous.

"It's all its own fault, so why should you feel guilty?" Gu Zhuangcheng looked down on Shen Yan's frown the most, and quickly comforted him, "Besides, how do you know that after He Ling learns the silk-drawing technique, he will It won’t change? It’s like when you created it, you didn’t expect it to kill so many people one day, right?”

Shen Yan nodded: "Indeed, at that time I just wanted to sell money, but I didn't expect so many things to happen later."

"That's it! The world is unpredictable, and all we can do is to do our best, why do you need to worry about yourself?" Gu Zhuangcheng smiled, "But speaking of it, I can't understand one thing, if you don't I know, then I can only ask He Ling."

"What's the matter?"

"Most of the murderers have their own reasons, and He Ling should be no exception." Gu Zhuangcheng said, "But after thinking about it, I can't think of what is the reason for He Ling's murder."

As a puppet, theoretically speaking, He Ling could not be injured or killed, and he had already achieved the immortality that people all over the world flocked to.

So what's not to like about it?Can killing so many people achieve what it wants to achieve?

Shen Yan pondered for a moment, then hesitated: "Perhaps... it is to become a real "person"..."

"what?"

"He Ling is a puppet I made out of the remains of cranes. He is born with a sense of immortality. If he cultivates hard, he might be able to become a real adult one day.

It's just that puppet cultivation is harder than climbing to the sky, and if you make a wrong step, you will be lost forever.He Ling...probably saw some forbidden technique, so he slaughtered so much. "

"It's actually like this..." Gu Zhuangcheng couldn't believe it.

"What's more, the people it kills are all qualified to become immortal cultivators. Nourishing themselves with the flesh and blood of these people can achieve twice the result with half the effort. He Ling has tasted the sweetness, so naturally he refuses to stop, and wants to go on once and for all .”

Shen Yan sighed, "Perhaps there was some mistake on He Zhiyun's side again, allowing He Ling to see such a forbidden technique."

Gu Zhuangcheng also sighed: "Forget it, at first I was thinking that if He Ling had some unavoidable reason to kill someone, maybe I could spare him once. Since it is for such a shameful purpose, then I don't have to. Show mercy no more."
