Chapter 392: Using Shangguan Hong as Bait
Shangguan Hong wanted to know more about the Changsheng Sect from Qin Wan, but the moment he met Qin Wan's eyes, his eyes became empty and lifeless.
Qin Wan nodded with satisfaction.
A quarter of an hour later, the two walked out of the pavilion chatting happily.
Seeing this, Ruo Yuan, who was waiting outside the pavilion, hurried forward to greet him.
Seeing that his emperor was in good spirits, Ruo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Wan said to Chen Yunzhi who had been waiting outside:
"Mother, Emperor Xiqi has been living in our palace for some time."
Chen Yunzhi knew that her daughter was a person with plans, so she didn't say much.
"Okay, Mom will go and arrange a secluded yard now."
"Sorry for bothering me. Please accept these little gifts, Princess."
As Shangguan Hong spoke, his men, who had been serving him, opened the five wooden boxes they had brought.
Suddenly, there was a golden glow, and it was all gold, silver and jewelry.
Chen Yunzhi waved her hand to refuse, but Shangguan Hong said that this was an apology for the incident in the teahouse in the morning.
On the other side, after Qin Jingnian placed the jade pendant in the Lingquan Pool to warm it up, he told Qin Min'an what had just happened in the pavilion.
"Dad, do you think what Shangguan Hong said is credible?"
Qin Min'an sipped his tea and spread his hands:
"You'll know whether it's credible or not when your sister comes back."
Speak of the devil, and here comes Qin Wan, who appears at the door of the flower hall.
Qin Jingnian extended his hand and greeted:
"Sister, come quickly."
As soon as Qin Wan saw her brother's anxious look, she knew what he was thinking.
He quickly walked over and spoke before Qin Jingnian:
"I've tested it, it's credible, everything he said is true."
Qin Min'an slapped the table happily, "Haha, my intuition is right, Jingnian, the problem is not in Xiqi but in Nanzhao."
Qin Jingnian shrugged, "That's not necessarily true. Nanzhao was dragged into the war, and it looks very similar to Beixiang's previous situation. It's more like a puppet controlled by the Changsheng Cult.
Maybe the Changsheng Cult's base is not in the four countries at all."
"Where else could it be if not in Shikoku? Oh my God!
It's really frustrating to say that we have been fighting the Immortal Cult for so long, but we don't even know where their base is or who their leader is."
Qin Jingnian curled his lips indifferently:
"Who else could be the leader? It could be the wizard from Beixiang or the imperial master from Dayue.
I just don’t know where these two old foxes are hiding now.”
Qin Min'an narrowed his eyes:
"Son, do you think there is a possibility that the wizard and the imperial teacher are the same person?"
Qin Jingnian nodded seriously:
"It's possible. It doesn't matter if they are the same person or not. As long as we can catch one of them, it will be fine.
When the time comes, we will follow the clues to find the headquarters of the Changsheng Sect.
The biggest boss behind the scenes must be the owner of the Qiyun main system."
"Ha, I suddenly have an idea!"
Qin Wan screamed in shock, and both the father and son shut up.
"Nannan, are you trying to scare me to death by being startled?"
"Sister, what ideas do you have?"
"It's an idea to lure the snake out of its hole. Didn't the Emperor of Xiqi say that the people of the Changsheng Cult wanted to harm him?
We can use Emperor Xiqi as bait to catch those who want to harm him.
The person who was sent out to harm the Emperor of Xiqi must have a high status in the Changsheng Sect. Then we can follow the clues and find out who is behind it, right?"
Qin Min'an and Qin Jingnian both gave a thumbs up:
"That's a good idea."
“We can’t do that for now.”
Three voices sounded at the same time.
Qin Wan looked towards the entrance of the flower hall.
Chen Yunzhi stood there, looking disapproving.
"Mom, why not?"
Chen Yunzhi walked over and said, "Have you forgotten how Dao Yin and Beixiang Wizard escaped from you?
Before we have a high enough level of cultivation to break the opponent's teleportation talisman, we should not waste the bait of Emperor Xiqi."
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned his cultivation. As soon as he mentioned it, Qin Jingnian instantly disappeared from the spot, leaving only one sentence:
"I'm going to practice."
Qin Wan coquettishly hugged Chen Yunzhi's arm:
"Mother is right, then let's keep the Xiqi Emperor as bait.
Since it is a bait, we must not let the people of the Changsheng Sect discover that the Emperor of Xiqi is in Prince Ding’s Palace.
No, I have to go ask Shangguan Hong how many people know about their trip."
Qin Wan said this and walked towards Shangguan Hong's yard.
Watching their children disappear in the blink of an eye, the couple looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
They all have impetuous temperaments.
When Qin Wan arrived at Shangguan Hong's yard, she didn't expect that the young eunuch Ruoyuan beside him was asking for water from the servants of the palace.
"It's not this kind of water. It's the kind of water my master drank in the front yard. My master said that this water tastes wrong."
Ruo Yuan spoke to the servants in the palace in a shrill voice with some anxiety.
The servants in the palace were all confused:
"What kind of water did your master drink in the front yard?"
"Oh, it's the clear water in the front yard that your palace uses to entertain guests. How can I not explain it to you?"
"Ahem," Shangguan Hong's suppressed cough came from the courtyard. Ruo Yuan quickly told the servant:
"Go directly to the front yard and ask the servants there for some water to serve the guests. This is money for your hard work."
Ruoyuan stuffed a ten-liang silver ingot into the hands of a servant in the palace, who smiled when he saw it:
"Don't worry, my dear, I'll get you some water right away."
Ruo Yuan was about to walk into the yard when he saw Qin Wan outside the gate.
"Miss Qin, why are you here?"
Ruo Yuan had already learned from his master that a cooperation had been reached between his master and Prince Ding's Mansion, so he was much more respectful towards Qin Wan.
"I'm here to discuss something with your master."
"Miss, please come in."
When the two of them went in, Feiyun was carefully carrying Shangguan Hongshun on his back.
Shangguan Hong put his fist to his lips and coughed softly.
Seeing his sickly appearance, Qin Wan doubted whether he could live to destroy the Changsheng Sect.
The water that Ruoyuan just mentioned for entertaining guests in the front yard should be the remaining spiritual spring water that she had left in the well in the front yard.
Drinking it can make him feel much better.
Thinking that this man was a partner after all, Qin Wan pretended to take something out of her purse and took out a porcelain bottle.
"Master, Miss Qin is here and said she has something to discuss with you."
Ruo Yuan gently reminded Shangguan Hong in his ear.
Shangguan Hong really wanted to hold back his cough and entertain Qin Wan, but coughing was not something he could hold back just because he wanted to.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
Shangguan Hong's face turned red from coughing. Seeing this, Qin Wan handed the porcelain bottle to him.
"It's a thirst-quenching potion. Drink it if you trust me."
Shangguan Hong met Qin Wan's bright eyes, opened the porcelain bottle and drank the potion without hesitation.
The coughing stopped immediately.
Shangguan Hong smacked his lips.
This potion...
Such a familiar smell.
It tasted very similar to the water he drank before, but he could clearly feel that this potion was more effective.
A comfortable feeling spread throughout my body, and the burning sensation in my chest caused by the violent coughing disappeared instantly.
Shangguan Hong looked at Qin Wan eagerly:
"Miss Qin, can you sell me some of this potion? My body is in great need of it. You can name your price."
