Blossom in Adversity

Chapter 245: Chaoli Totem

Views:

At this time, someone came in to report, "Chief, the Seven Stars leader said he has something important to discuss."

Chen Qing looked at his master.

Gu Yanxi curled her lips, "Since she is so impatient, then let her do it and bring her here."

"yes."

This is Yuan Shifang's study, which is divided into two rooms, the inner room and the outer room. It seems that he spends a lot of time here on weekdays. The inner room is decorated very comfortably.

Gu Yanxi looked around with a frown on his face. For some reason, he always felt a little uncomfortable, as if there was something extra. He scanned the cabinet inch by inch, and suddenly turned his gaze back to the inconspicuous lower left corner of the cabinet. He walked over and took the four-legged incense burner in the lower left corner, then felt around inch by inch, and hooked out an object that looked like a round or square from the miscellaneous items on the upper right. Gu Yanxi put this object on top of the incense burner, fitting perfectly, and the object he was hooking in his hand was easy to recognize at this time, it was a tail.

After searching the rest of the house carefully, he found nothing else. However, looking at the thing in his hand, whose shape he could already make out, even Gu Yanxi's mood was filled with turbulent waves.

And there was movement outside.

The Seven Stars Sect Leader was still wearing a white robe, with a calm expression, as if he was not interested in competing with the world.

Chen Qing sat there motionless.

The Seven Stars Sect Leader laughed instead, but only she knew the meaning of her laugh.

"My daughter Haoyue greets the leader of the Seven Stars Division."

"Haoyue, what a nice name. I just wonder who this bright moon wants to illuminate." The words that Chen Qing said through the mask were a little distorted. Coupled with his deliberate imitation of the prince, they sounded 70% similar.

"Three months ago, I was still learning skills in the mountains. At that time, I had no intention of entering the world. But one day, I suddenly had a feeling in my heart and told a fortune. Then I knew that there would be strife in the world." Haoyue spoke slowly, but the content of his words sounded like a thunder in Chen Qing's heart. Strife in the world will arise, doesn't it mean that the Daqing Dynasty is unstable

Chen Qing suppressed his thoughts and said, "I wonder which master Miss Haoyue learned from."

"My master has never been involved in the secular world. If I tell you, no one will know. He allowed me to enter the secular world because he calculated that my marriage fate is in this secular world. Besides, how can I leave the secular world without going through this secular world?"

"So Miss Haoyue created the Seven Star Sect just to attract me?"

Haoyue smiled, and with her slender white fingers she gently pushed the long hair behind her ears, her posture was very beautiful, "Don't worry, sir, the holy water is the potion I prepared, and it will benefit your body if you take it."

It seems unreasonable, but it is actually an admission.

Chen Qing was still full of confidence, "What do you want, young lady?"

"My Lord, although Haoyue is not very capable, he has learned a lot from his master in divination. My Lord cares about the people of the world, and Haoyue will definitely be of great help."

"oh?"

Haoyue knew it was time for her to show off. She smiled and said, "This August, the Weihe River will burst its banks, causing tens of thousands of casualties. The breach is in Xiangyang, Jingzhou."

Haoyue knew how to stop when enough was enough. After saying this, she stood up and bowed slightly, "Haoyue is waiting for you, my lord."

After making sure that the person had gone far away, Chen Qing immediately went into the inner room, but before he could say anything, he heard his master say, "Go and get all the things on Yuan Shifang. You must go in person and leave nothing behind."

Seeing his master's expression, Chen Qing walked out of the house without saying a word. He came back after a while with a small bag in his hand, which he opened in front of his master.

Gu Yanxi saw what he was looking for at a glance. It was Yuan Shifang’s private seal, a wolf head seal.

He picked up the wolf's head and placed it on the two objects. A lifelike wolf stood proudly.

"This is..." Chen Qing exclaimed. He had followed the prince for many years and learned a lot. Naturally, he would recognize that this was the totem of the Chaoli tribe. Could Yuan Shifang be a member of the Chaoli tribe? But how could it be possible? The Chaoli Kingdom had been destroyed for so many years, and the Daqing Dynasty had always been on high alert. How could the Chaoli tribe send someone to the heart of the Daqing Dynasty without making any noise and let him sit in the position of a state supervisor

etc!

"Could it be that Haoyue knows Yuan Shifang's background? That's why he did this?"

Gu Yanxi held the thing in his hand, stood up and walked to the desk, and Chen Qing immediately stepped forward to grind the ink.

After drying the ink, Gu Yanxi sealed it and handed it to Chen Qing, and ordered in a cold voice, "Send someone back to the capital to hand over this letter to the emperor, and dispatch all the available personnel of the Seven Constellations to meet along the way. Remember, you are not allowed to enter the city."

Chen Qing responded in a deep voice. He understood what his master meant. If Yuan Shifang was really a member of the Chaoli tribe, then they had caught a big fish. As long as they pried open his mouth, they would know the current situation of the Chaoli tribe. The Chaoli tribe was very xenophobic, and their spies could not get close at all. After so many years, their understanding of the Chaoli tribe was still the same as before, which was very dangerous. The Chaoli tribe would certainly not leave anyone alive in their hands. No matter whether the other party planned to rob or kill people, the conflict must not occur in a densely populated city.

"Carefully screen the General Manager's Mansion. Only those who are allowed in will be allowed out. You are to take my official seal and invite General Lu to come to the Mansion for a talk. Do not let anyone know."

"yes."

Compared with this matter, both the Seven Stars Sect and Haoyue were just trivial matters, and neither the master nor the servant mentioned them.

The Qingliu Camp of Yuzhou was stationed ten miles west of the city. The garrison general, Lu Peiyu, came from a family of military generals, so he was naturally not a reckless man. He knew that being invited by the leader of the Seven Stars Sect in the middle of the night was no small matter, and he was afraid that it was related to Yuzhou. Thinking of the increasingly famous Seven Stars Sect, he had a clue in his mind.

Gu Yanxi put on the mask. Without saying anything, he just packed the three things and showed them to him.

The Daqing Dynasty was indeed terrified of the Chaoli Clan, not to mention the aristocratic families with deep roots. They knew a lot of inside information and were more wary of the Chaoli Clan.

Lu Peiyu's face changed immediately. He rushed forward in three or two steps, took the totem in his hand and examined it carefully. Yes, it was the totem of the Chaoli tribe. Their wolf had horns on its head, and anyone who knew would know it at a glance.

"I don't know where this comes from."

"Yuan Shifang."

"I need evidence!" Lu Peiyu couldn't believe it. He had worked with Yuan Shifang for several years. Although they didn't have much friendship, they had a good relationship as colleagues. He could definitely be called a capable official. His ability ranked among the top three among the governors of Kyushu.

If he was a member of the Chaoli tribe, if he was... Lu Peiyu shuddered at the thought.

Gu Yanxi picked up the wolf head and pointed the bottom towards Lu Peiyu, "This is Yuan Shifang's private seal."

Lu Peiyu suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen Yuan Shifang use this seal, but no matter how hard he thought, he could not connect that gentleman with the fierce Chaoli people.

The Chaoli tribe is so big, so brutal, so arrogant, so...

No matter which aspect, Yuan Shifang is not like him, not at all!
