SECRET MEETING
Yin Li stayed in Qingzhou for ten days. Although it seems that he didn’t do anything every day. In fact, he secretly sent two ghost elders to investigate the information of Qingzhou’s General Sun Changrong. Whether it was his residency or his military account, it has been turned over and over, to find evidence of rebellion.
However, the facts made him a bit surprised. Sun Changrong did not have any irregularities. Maybe he was a little corrupt and embezzled, but it was a trivial problem.
Then, why did Li Jingnan repeatedly send secret letters, saying that he has rebellious intentions? Li Jingyu was picked by his hand. He had no personal relationship. Yin Li was more convinced of his character and loyalty.
Yin Li decided to meet with Li Jingyu in private to understand the specific situation.
At night, Yin Li sneaked into the backyard of Qingzhou’s administrative residence with the help of the two ghosts. Li Jingyu is a true cultivator in the traditional sense. He is self-satisfied and painstakingly trained. There are no miscellaneous waiters and followers in the backyard. Of course, because his character is too rigid, stubborn, and uninteresting, he has not found a cultivation partner; an old bachelor who has lived for more than three hundred years.
Although the night is dark, it was really easy for Yin Li to find him. Because this guy never sleeps on the bed, he meditates cross-legged every time in the most conspicuous position on the roof all night.
“Who is there?”
Li Jingyu opened his eyes. Although he is already over three hundred years old, he has already broken through to the early Golden core formation stage. His appearance is like a young man in his twenties. Although it is not as delicate and prosperous as Yin Li, it is extraordinary and elegant like a scholar.
“It’s me.” Yin Li walked on the roof and sat opposite Li Jingyu.
Yang Huiyan felt that the two men were too close, and he was a little unhappy, but he knew that Yin Li had something to do and didn’t dare to say anything. Consciously entering the house to find a set of tea sets, burning a pot of hot water, using it to make tea, he also jumped on the roof, sitting on the other side of the Yin Li and not leaving.
Li Jingnan was a little surprised at first, but he quickly calmed down and respectfully performed a courtesy: “I didn’t know the Sixth Highness was coming, I’m honored by your presence and atone for the not going out to welcome you.”
Yin Li waved his hand: “The courtesy is exempted. I said it last time: In private, we will talk like peers.”
Li Jingyu still did his courtesy before he sat down again: “His Royal Highness is out of the palace, traveling around the world, and inspecting people’s sentiments. The ministers also heard about it. In the past few days, I thought about when you will come to Qingzhou.”
Yin Li took a sip of tea and lowered his voice: “What’s going on with your investigation?”
Li Jingyu knew what he was talking about, and pondered for a moment, he said: “There is progress.”
Yin Li raised his eyebrows. It seems that Sun Changrong’s hidden depths were also grasped by Li Jingyu: “Details.”
Li Jingyu said what he had secretly investigated in these years. It certainly takes more than a day or two to plan such a major rebellion. From collecting resources to training soldiers and horses to contacting accomplices, etc., each piece takes a lot of effort and time.
Sun Changrong has a mediocre aptitude. He has been planning for five years but still not ready.
In fact, in Li Jingyu’s view, today’s Xiyin imperial family Guotai Min’an has won the hearts of the people, and there is no chance to succeed at rebelling. In this situation, people who want to change the emperor today are all idiots with a pit in their heads.
“Three years ago, I suspected that Sun Changrong had rebellious intentions because he was looking for where to purchase several sophisticated weapons and magic weapons. The number was in the tens of thousands. Although his excuse was to arm the Qingzhou Army, but in the end, I did not see the Qingzhou Army use the equipment. These valuable weapons and magic weapons must have been privately possessed by Sun Changrong.”
Yin Li nodded; Li Jingyu had already told him about these things so he knew them well.
In Xiyin, the law stipulates that privately owned weapons and magic weapons must not exceed one hundred. Once it exceeds this amount, the owners of such weapons and magic weapons will be considered to have committed a crime. To put it bluntly, this policy is used to prevent people from rebelling.
The general self-cultivator will not violate this law. In fact, most of the cultivators below the Nascent soul stage are not rich enough to have more than ten digits of magic weapons. In this small world, everyone is so poor.
Where did Sun Changrong get 10,000 sets of weapons and magic weapons? Is he a rich man in the countryside? Is there such a thick family?
At this time, Yin Li was quite tempted to think that the other party was rebellious, so it’s perfectly justifiable to search his house and confiscate his property. In this way, the rich provincial hegemony does not know how much ill-gotten wealth has been accumulated.
“In these years, this humble servant has been searching for the whereabouts of the weapons and magic weapons. As long as I can find it, I can find Sun Changrong’s secret base. However, he seems to have also noticed the suspicion of this small official, and he became more cautious and careful. Until last month, his blood nephew suddenly disappeared and is suspected to have been assassinated. His blood sister Sun Changxiu was angry and went around with his men to find the murderer. This humble servant sent people to follow Sun Changxiu. Finally, I was able to know his secret base.”
Yin Li said thoughtfully: “Sun Changrong’s nephew is dead?”
He did not notice that Yang Huiyan who had been sitting neatly like a decorative vase, bowed his head guiltily. This guy remembered that a while ago he killed a flower thief who claimed to be Sun Changrong’s nephew.
This matter must be concealed and not let the master know, otherwise, that his cultivation base is not sealed will be immediately exposed. In that case, master… will be very angry, and punish him to go to sleep on the floor, hehe!(1)
Li Jingyu’s face showed a hint of ridicule: “The nephew of Sun Changrong is a famous playboy in Qingzhou. Regardless of married or unmarried young woman, anyone he takes a fancy to, he will do anything to get his hands on them.”
Yin Li smiled: “It seems that you have taught him.”
Li Jingyu sneered: “His parents love him and don’t discipline him, then let the society teach him to be a man.”
The number of women who were insulted by this rampant hooligan is countless, but they were all suppressed by Sun’s family power. They did not dare complain out of fear of retaliation. Li Jingyu had a strong sense of righteousness, but no justifiable reason. He had to send someone to teach him privately.
Not to mention, after he was thought a lesson, the playboy was honest for a long time. Later, he heard that he joined the Qingzhou’s qingqi army, seemed to be a bit like the return of a prodigal son.
However, Li Jingnan only wants to say a word, just like the natural instincts of the hungry ghost, the dog can’t stop himself from eating shit.(2)
This time, he inexplicably died, most probably he went looking for trouble, bringing about his own destruction.
Yin Li asked: “Where is Sun Changrong’s secret base?”
Li Jingyu did not know where to turn a compass, and his fingers touched the two golden needles in the middle. The golden needle slid a few laps and finally stopped in the southeast: “Along this direction, more than a thousand miles north, on the border of the Xiyin and the Beifeng Kingdoms, there is a mountain called ‘Yu Zhushan’, the secret base of Sun Changrong is there. He has laid numerous traps in the vicinity, and people who go close will die.”
Yin Li nodded and remembered this place. Yang Huiyan also sneaked a few glances, and thought: now that he knows the other person’s secret base, why has this Li Jingyu still not annihilated it. It is really procrastination
In his heart, anything that can be solved with temptation or killing is not a hassle.
Yin Li and Li Jingyu said a few more words. After telling him to continue to monitor Sun Changrong’s movements, he returned to the inn with Yang Huiyan.
In Yin Li’s view, Sun Changrong’s rebellious cause is just a farce that does not know the sky. He needed to be vigilant, but not too worried.
After staying in Qingzhou for another two days, Yin Li was ready to leave. Yang Huiyan packed his luggage, the carriage was also cleaned. As the weather gradually warmed up, the heavy winter clothes were thrown away by him and replaced with brand-new spring and autumn clothing.
Yin Li put down the book in his hand and saw the busy figure of his own little male pet. He smiled and said: “Huiyan, where do you think we should go next?”
Yang Huiyan smiled softly: “This slave only follows the master, no matter where he goes.”
Yin Li indulged in infinite tenderness and beckoned his little male pet to snuggle into his arms. The two read a book together and enjoyed a moment of tenderness.
Yang Huiyan seems to be weak. In fact, his height is actually higher than Yin Li’s, but there is nothing strange about making a bird look like a person. It can only be said that the value of the face determines everything.
Yin Li took the time to test the results of his study of Fuyu(3), and carefully examined the effects of the three or four top-quality Fuyu, and smiled with satisfaction: “Yes, you are not lazy these days.”
When Yin Li first met his male pet, the other party was only a 10-year-old child. He was very positive in his three views. Although he knows how many years he has left to live, he has never thought of using evil ways or methods to improve his cultivation.
He was forced to accept the help of his parents to use a furnace, but he never really thought about using him to absorb yang and hurt the child.
In the beginning, he used Yang Huiyan as an ordinary slave and sent him to do some chores. Later, he saw his outstanding qualifications and he began to cultivate him with his great care. He thought that in the future, he will have a capable subordinate. A loyal minister.
Yin Li was in a hurry to try to lead people to the right path but did not know that this bad boy is rotten from the roots. Yang Huiyan looked pitiful, but he had already started to think about climbing the bed, thinking about how to get his master’s favor.
After his unremitting efforts, he finally succeeded.
For Yin Li, this affection that arose after sleeping was a bit abnormal. However, time has passed, and now his love for Yang Huiyan is naturally different from the past.
He was praised which made Yang Huiyan happy: “What charms master wants in the future, let this slave paint it.”
For him, no matter what he learns, there is no difference; whether it is Yin Li’s Fuyu method he asked him to learn or the Queen’s private teaching of her tricks.
As long as he wants to learn, he can learn everything, and learn it fast and well.
He has never been so happy because of his outstanding qualifications. For him, this is as common as eating and drinking. He only hopes to get the favor of Yin Li, and his appreciation is what he is most eager to get.
Yin Li collected these top grades and put them into a small treasure chest. This treasure chest is a gift from Yin Li to Huiyan a few years ago and later became his favorite instrument, with all his belongings inside.
Not to mention, the possessions of Yang Huiyan, this male pet, is still very impressive. The large and small Lingshi accounts for more than half of the space, and there are several pieces of the top-quality weapons. A small part was given by Yin Li, but most of them are rewards of other elders of the imperial family.
He got Yin Li’s favor, and it naturally made other people in the imperial family look at him
In this small world, the magic weapon of space storage is very rare, and the high-grade Fuyu of the Golden core formation cultivators is also very valuable. In the future, if Yang Huiyan wants to stand on his own, it is enough to draw a few Fuyu to make him rich.
Yin Li knows that his life is limited, so he always subconsciously prepares his little male pet for later. It is the same as the heart of an old father. But he didn’t know that for this bad boy, these are things outside of the body(4), and they don’t matter.
He just wants to live with him for life… No, life after life, no matter whether it is life or death, never separating.
