Chapter 1330

After the Allied Forces were formed, even the grain and fodder for the Allied Forces could basically be supplied.

The special envoy from Pijia said, "The Boss Situ family, with the help of external forces, purchased a large amount of grain and fodder. This force is called the Yangshan Archipelago, which is a commercial island group in the southwest sea."

"The Pijia people have made contact with them?"

"No, no. Their leader is said to be in Jucheng as well, and his surname is He." Jucheng is within the Boss Situ family's territory, and the Pijia people cannot reach him.

"Right, his name is He Xiao, and he built the Yangshan Archipelago single-handedly." Qingyang handed over a teacup, and the maidservant immediately went to change the tea.

The Pijia special envoy always felt that after the Grand Overseer spoke this name, the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped by several degrees. "This humble envoy heard that his name is He Lingchuan."

"He Xiao? He Lingchuan?" Qingyang smiled faintly, the sharp edge suppressed in the depths of her eyes, "They are both the same person."

Knowing full well that this so-called Yangshan Archipelago was supporting Boss Situ Yu's Allied Forces from behind, the ruler of the Yao Nation still sent people to Jucheng to start doing business with He Xiao.

How could such a cautious Yao Nation be favored by Beijia? Qingyang shook her head.

Seeing her shake her head, the Pijia special envoy could not help but say, "You know this person?"

"I once had a brief encounter with him."

Heh, how could she forget the name "He Xiao"? If it weren't for him pursuing the Elixir of Immortality case relentlessly, how could there have been so much turmoil in Lingxu City later on? She wouldn't have ended up defeated by Shuangye! Yes, whether it was He Xiao or Xi Yunhe, they were all chess pieces once used by National Master Shuangye to topple her! His name represents a segment of unpleasant past events.

"On Boss Situ Yu's territory, ballads about him killing the Profound Lu Ghost King are circulating everywhere." Qingyang pondered, "Whether it was planned by Boss Situ Yu or by himself, I'm afraid this matter is true."

If such a heart-stirring merit as killing a Ghost King was done by Boss Situ Yu himself, why would he promote it for someone else?

She looked at the Pijia special envoy and smiled: "Look, regarding your retreat, he alone took two shares of the credit."

Killing the Ghost King is one share.

Supporting the grain and fodder is another share.

The Pijia special envoy thought about it, and it was indeed the case.

"My master has already paid attention to this person surnamed He."

"Boss Situ Yu's Allied Forces already show signs of splitting. If the logistical grain and fodder accidentally have problems at this time, then..."

There was no need to finish the words; the Pijia special envoy had already understood: "Many thanks to the Grand Overseer for the reminder!"

The Allied Forces' grain and fodder are supplied by the Yangshan Archipelago.

The leader of Yangshan is also in Jucheng.

In other words, if the Pijia people want to cut off the logistical supply of Boss Situ Yu and the Allied Forces, they only need to—

Is it easier to defeat the Allied Forces, or easier to behead one person? The Pijia special envoy felt that this was not a multiple-choice question.

Qingyang said intentionally or unintentionally, "Zhao Guangzhi seems to have been active near Jucheng recently. I remember that the relationship between Pijia and the Luodian Nation is also quite good."

Zhao Guangzhi's main business is not eating people. This man has some tough skills under his command; as long as the reward is sufficient, he and his army also take on some unseemly jobs.

The Pijia special envoy was hesitant to speak.

"What?"

"Zhao Guangzhi..." the Pijia special envoy then said, "died in Liuping a few days ago."

"Oh?" The small gossip around was always as numerous as ox hair; Qingyang hadn't heard of this, so she was a bit surprised, "Who did it?"

"Legend has it that a black-armored cavalry unit scattered his troops, captured him to Liuping, and then set up a pot and boiled water there, and in front of all the people in the city, they boiled him until he was cooked. The local commoners divided and ate him."

This way of dying was very horrifying, so the Pijia people received the news very quickly.

Divided and ate him? Qingyang was not interested in Zhao Guangzhi's death, but, "Black-armored cavalry? Where did they come from?"

Which force's armor nearby is black? "That is unclear; it is said that they come and go like the wind, and no one knows their origin." The Pijia special envoy added, "These black-armored soldiers also seem to have killed Liu Shuheng, the city guard of Shizhou Tou City. By the way, they all wear masks."

Qingyang gave an 'en' sound. She was only asking an extra question; these people around the Yao Nation were born and died, so how could she care?

Zhao Guangzhi is dead, and tomorrow there will be Wu Guangzhi and Chen Guangzhi.

The Shining Gold Plain has never lacked bastards.

Seeing that it was afternoon, Qingyang covered her mouth and gave a small yawn. The Pijia special envoy still had this bit of discernment, so he immediately stood up and said, "You need to rest, so this humble envoy dares not disturb you. Regarding the Yao ruler, I trouble the Grand Overseer to put in the effort."

He finally said the Pijia people's request. Qingyang smiled and said, "People get sleepy easily when they get old."

The Pijia special envoy waited for a few breaths and didn't wait for the follow-up, so he had to perform another salute, stepped back a few steps, and then turned and left.

Qingyang stared at the lake water in front of her.

A few conversations with the Pijia special envoy made her state of mind no longer as calm as the lake surface.

How did He Xiao come to the Shining Gold Plain? Was it at the instruction of Shuangye? Shuangye...

An inexplicable fire rose in her heart, and she slapped the armrest: "That thing that is neither human nor ghost!"

After a struggle lasting more than a hundred years, Shuangye finally became the winner, while she was exiled to the poor and chaotic Shining Gold Plain, far away from the Emperor and Lingxu City.

He has already won, what else does he want! After another quarter of an hour, a man in green clothes ran from afar and knelt on one knee in front of her.

This is a person she brought from Lingxu City, named He Yang; he is both a disciple of the Green Palace and her personal guard, loyal and devoted.

"My lord, regarding He Xiao, new news has come from the west."

Just as the name He Xiao/He Lingchuan began to circulate nearby, Qingyang noticed it and sent someone to send a message to investigate.

Today it was a coincidence; the Pijia special envoy had just left, and the intelligence about He Xiao followed immediately.

Qingyang opened her eyes and supported her chin with her hand: "Speak."

"He Xiao once said in Lingxu City that he came from the Fu Nation. But our people walked through more than a dozen townships and counties in the Fu Nation and found no such person."

"What about the official household registration records?"

"There is not a trace of it either."

"Then it was erased by someone." Was it done by Shuangye or the Crown Prince of Chiyan? Qingyang didn't find it strange; it is normal that the background of the person Shuangye wants to use cannot be found at all. Back then, he even arranged a fake identity for Xi Yunhe, right under Cen Poqing!

"Anything else?"

"After He Xiao left Lingxu City, he bought an archipelago on the sea southeast of the Mou Nation, right opposite Blade Harbor, which is the Yangshan Archipelago. He managed this place into a commercial port, and the business is very prosperous right now."

"Southeast of the Mou Nation?" Qingyang frowned slightly; isn't that right behind the Mou Nation?

Too close to the Mou Nation, and too far from Beijia.

Why would Shuangye's men run to the back of the Mou Nation to buy an archipelago?

Did Shuangye assign him other tasks, or is there a hidden story in it? He Yang continued to report:

"Regarding the Yangshan Archipelago, according to the officials of Blade Harbor, when He Xiao first got this archipelago, it seemed that he had some conflicts with Bailie and Blade Harbor, and it was the National Master of the Mou Nation, Wang Xingyi, who came forward to mediate."

This name was far beyond the expectations of National Master Qingyang, so much so that her tone was rarely raised by two degrees: "Wang Xingyi?"
