Chapter 1650

Inside the main hall and beside the King of Yao, the Physician Order is responsible for security.

Bai Hengbo had also been in the Court Guard Supervisor's office for many years and had just been promoted. Previously, this honor belonged to another Court Guard Supervisor, Zheng Da, who had deeper qualifications. But the latter was punished not long ago because of the Fourth Prince's poisoning incident, which the King of Yao disliked. Therefore, this time the responsibility of guarding the important palace area fell to Bai Hengbo! This was the result of Bai Tan and Bai Hengbo's multi-party operations. God bless, every step actually succeeded! Bai Tan just wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, but fearing to startle outsiders, he had to forcibly suppress it.

However, he also found it strange: "Why did the King go back to the Frost Immortal Hall to work?"

"Not just work." Bai Hengbo usually didn't dare to come to find Bai Tan, so this time he said everything at once, "The King even moved into the Frost Immortal Hall! Lord Qiu said he misses that old pear blossom tree."

"Nonsense!" Bai Tan was disdainful, "How could this old thing be sentimental for a tree, and at this juncture? He had three or four sons die before, and I didn't see him being that sad!"

Being like this to his own flesh and blood, how truly good could he be to an ignorant old tree?

Bai Hengbo shook his head: "Then I don't know. But for so many years, apart from the cold, the Jade Spring Palace has indeed had no other abnormalities."

"Forget it, don't think about it." Bai Tan shook his head, "The Frost Immortal Hall has mysteries; we have inquired in many ways, but over these years, we only know a little. When the time comes, you must be careful."

"Uncle, how is the situation in the city?"

"The refugees are not honest, and it's easier for them to cause trouble when gathered. Today, there have already been four or five serious conflicts, and more than a dozen soldiers were injured. Before the Imperial Flowing Plasma arrives, I will mobilize more troops to 'keep an eye' on them!"

He emphasized the words "keep an eye."

Then Bai Tan said sternly: "Hurry back to the palace; don't contact me again before the action! This is a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity for the Bai family, and it absolutely cannot be messed up!"

Bai Hengbo nodded and left in a hurry.

In the early morning, Yongquan Villa was conducting a debugging of the spiritual-attraction formation, with He Lingchuan guiding on-site.

Wancai Feng and the others were putting on a show, and He Lingchuan was also putting on a show; both master and servant were acting.

But the formation they laid out was real and could truly operate; even Zhao Song couldn't find any faults.

The cargo transport of the Benevolent Seeker Chamber of Commerce had stopped six days ago, and the warehouse was cleared.

Taking advantage of the chaos before the arrival of the Imperial Flowing Plasma, the personnel of the Benevolent Seeker Chamber of Commerce had successfully withdrawn from Tianshui City and headed straight for the border. Anyway, nine out of ten shops in Tianshui City are empty now; who would notice their absence?

Just after debugging a formation base, a green bird flew from the sky and landed on a branch beside He Lingchuan.

"There is a letter, a letter from the west."

He Lingchuan threw it a few spiritual medicines in exchange for a short message.

The letter was very short, but written in code. He Lingchuan scanned it, and his pupils shrank.

There were people nearby, so He Lingchuan just browsed it hurriedly and put the letter away, acting as if nothing had happened, but the hand hidden in his sleeve secretly clenched into a fist.

Just as he expected! This secret letter was sent from the river mouth of Zhu County.

Peng Yukui and more than ten others, guests from Lingshan, went to intercept and kill Bai Ziqi. He Lingchuan gave them tips on the ambush location, which was the river mouth of Zhu County. After Peng Yukui left, He Lingchuan also privately sent his trusted aides to rush to the Zhu River mouth to stake out.

The result of this great battle was extremely important to him.

If Peng Yukui and the others could kill Bai Ziqi, He Lingchuan would remove a major threat.

But the content of this secret letter made his heart sink! The Soul-Sucking Mirror also knew the code and curiously translated it: "Bai Ziqi's three ships sailed into the river mouth of Zhu County; the target just docked and went ashore, and one of the ships had a huge crack on its body."

Just now, He Lingchuan scanned it and learned at least two key points:

Peng Yukui and the others did indeed take action in the river; Bai Ziqi is still alive.

Previously, Peng Yukui and He Lingchuan discussed this sniping, and He Lingchuan reminded him repeatedly, but Peng Yukui was full of confidence, indicating that Lingshan had prepared a trump card.

But Bai Ziqi still survived and successfully went ashore—

Just as He Lingchuan expected! He pretended to be busy by the formation for a while longer, then waved his hand and said: "Alright, the formation passes; everyone go eat breakfast."

The big boss spoke, and everyone threw down their work and went to get food, laughing and joking.

He Lingchuan turned and left, telling someone to send food to the study.

Just after closing the door, the Soul-Sucking Mirror in his arms wailed: "What to do, what to do, Bai Ziqi has gone ashore and is about to head straight for Tianshui City!"

The big event the master planned is in danger.

The master is also in danger.

It said angrily: "Those vegetable-caterpillars from Lingshan, they act so arrogant here, but in front of Bai Ziqi, they are of no use at all!"

"How are they of no use?" He Lingchuan took out the secret letter and looked at it twice more, "Bai Ziqi went with ten ships, and only three are left when he returned; this battle must not have been easy. I just don't know how Peng Yukui and the others are after the battle, and if they are still alive?"

"Why care about them?" The mirror didn't have that leisure, "Let's talk about how we should respond first!"

"Our people saw Bai Ziqi walk onto the pier with their own eyes; he didn't appear injured on the outside, but the fleet actually arrived two days late. In this way, the people of Lingshan bought not only me, but also Qingyang, two precious days of time."

The mirror didn't understand: "Ah? Qingyang?"

He Lingchuan didn't answer and continued: "However, since Bai Ziqi is alive and ashore, as long as he returns to Tianshui City, he will likely deal with me when Qingyang makes her move."

The mirror calculated the time for him: "Bai Ziqi still has two days to reach Tianshui City, and the Imperial Flowing Plasma will arrive in four or five days at the earliest! The timing is in his favor!"

"No matter what means he used to defeat Peng Yukui and the others, as long as he wasn't completely exhausted in the river, he will likely use them to deal with me." He Lingchuan also didn't want to fight Bai Ziqi in Tianshui City; this is the home field of the Heavenly God! "I still have a chance to disrupt the situation, but I must race against time!"

The mirror asked: "When do you want to start the action?"

"I see the sunshine is bright and the breeze is cool today, taking advantage of the early hour—" He Lingchuan looked out the window, "Let's do it today!"

"Ah?!"

"Right now!"

"Ah???" So sudden? It wasn't mentally prepared!

Just then, someone knocked on the door: "My Lord!"

Wancai Feng came, carrying a food box in his hand.

As soon as he put down the food box, he whispered: "Last night, a palace guard asked the chef of the Little Fragrant Building if there were fewer people eating there recently? The chef was ignorant and said directly that it was correct, his work was much easier, and he had time to eat a piece of chewing tobacco after preparing the vegetables every day."

He Lingchuan stroked his chin: "Such a coincidence? Han Zheng, Zhao Song's subordinate, quietly sneaked into Old Dong's kiln cave last night and turned around inside before coming out."

What did Zhao Song want his subordinates to find out?
