"Ye Lingyue, you really don't know how to live or die. You know that you will not have a good life after offending Dangong Daxia." Seeing that Ye Lingyue even dared to blackmail Dangong, Hong Fang blushed with anger.
"Why don't you dare? Hong Fang, as the Great General Zhengxi, you have really disgraced Great Xia. The beast riots have not yet subsided, and countless villagers and soldiers have been injured and died. What have you done? Everyone Funeral expenses of twelve taels for the villagers, fifty taels for each soldier? If the dead were replaced by your family members and children, would you agree? I almost forgot, General Hong would not care about these at all, in your mind , only you." Ye Lingyue sneered.
"Ye Lingyue, you are too presumptuous!" Hong Fang grabbed Ye Lingyue's skirt.
The girl didn't have the slightest fear, a faint purple flashed in those pitch-black eyes, as if she could see the soul of a person clearly at once.
Hong Xin was startled, and subconsciously let go of his hand.
Just now, he suddenly felt a sense of fear.
Ye Lingyue sneered and walked away.
The next day, the old alchemist Wei brought Dan Gong's reply. Dan Gong was willing to pay four million taels of gold to compensate for the loss caused by the ninth-order python, and to reward the villagers and soldiers who died in Daxia with the ultimate reward. Sincere apologies.
This result surprised Qicheng and even Hong Fang.
However, Ye Lingyue had expected that the ninth-level spirit python might not be worth four million taels of gold.
Unless there are some unspeakable secrets about it, or it has special value, only those in Dan Palace will know about it.
Where is Dan Palace? It is the gathering place of Beiqing's senior alchemists. These alchemists are very face-saving, and they will never allow any unfavorable rumors about them outside.
Old alchemist Wei delivered four million taels of gold on the spot.
This compensation can just be used to compensate the losses of the villagers and the military camp.
Ye Lingyue was also very straightforward, and returned the body of the ninth-level python to Dan Gong.
After the old alchemist Wei obtained the snake corpse, he returned to Beiqing.
On the high tower at the border, the old alchemist Wei knelt respectfully in front of the young man.
"Lord Hongru, the snake corpse has been brought back."
The alchemist in blue turned around.
It was a young man with a refined temperament, and his age seemed to be no more than thirty years old.
The black eyebrows are shaped like a line of peaks, the nose is as straight as a peak, and there is a sense of arrogance looking down on the world in his eyes.
What didn't match his appearance was that his temples were gray and white, and his light gray eyes were full of wisdom.
The man's appearance is not decisively handsome, but it is the type that transcends age and makes countless girls and women feel excited.
This person is the top existence in Beiqing alchemist world, Chen Hongru.
In Beiqing, the status is second only to Beiqing Emperor's Dan Palace Palace Master.
"Four million taels of gold, Daxia's Ye Zhangding, has a big appetite."
Although the gold was delivered, Dan Gong was obviously very dissatisfied with Da Xia's actions this time.
Even Chen Hongru, who had always been as cold as water, became angry.
But this ninth-level spirit python is of great significance to Dan Gong, so even if it costs some gold, Chen Hongru still wants to redeem him.
Chen Hongru stood with his sleeves still, and an invisible spiritual force suddenly lifted the huge ninth-order spirit python into the air.
With just one glance, Chen Hongru's expression changed.
"Spiritual core, why is the spiritual core gone!"
As we all know, the greatest significance of a spirit beast lies in its spirit core.
But unexpectedly, as soon as the snake corpse was transported back, Chen Hongru found that the spirit core of the ninth-level spirit python had long since disappeared.
"No spirit core?" Old alchemist Wei was so frightened that his old face turned pale, he hurriedly found someone to open the spirit python's belly, and found that it was really empty.
"Okay... very good, Da Xia is so capable, how dare he touch the things of my Dan Palace!" Chen Hongru finally got angry.
The tower standing on the border of Beiqing shook because of his anger.
The alchemists in the tower were also panicked, not knowing why the Palace Master was so angry.
"Damn this subordinate. This subordinate never expected that the spirit core would be gone." Old alchemist Wei was trembling with fright. He didn't expect Ye Zhangding to be so cunning at such a young age.
This time, she was really killed by that Ye Lingyue.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Hongru's anger subsided a little.
"Forget it, it's just a ninth-level spiritual core, and it's not that important. I asked you to redeem this snake, and it's not because I want to use it to refine alchemy."
If you don't make alchemy or weapons, why do you want to return the snake corpse
The old alchemist Wei had a puzzled look on his face.
My lord seems to be in a bad mood these days, and gets angry at every turn.
Old alchemist Wei just felt that he didn't understand adults more and more.
"You get out. I will deal with the snake corpse myself." Chen Hongru waved his hand.
Old alchemist Wei bowed and retreated.
Dead, his only son, Xia Houhong died.
Chen Hongru closed his eyes.
Inside the tower, the surroundings changed, but in an instant, it changed into a magnificent palace.
In the palace, a beautiful woman in palace costume was crying.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and when she noticed the change in the surrounding environment, the woman raised her head, and it was the Concubine Luo who was in the summer palace.
"My lord, you are finally here, Hong'er, my Hong'er died a terrible death."
There has been news from the Xixia Plain that Xia Houhong unfortunately died on the way to kill the ninth-order python.
His body is still missing.
Concubine Luo felt dizzy when she heard the news.
She still can't believe that Xia Houhong is dead.
"Don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth. I have found the body of the nine-step python, and soon we will know the real cause of Hong'er's death."
Chen Hongru was the man who sent out his concubine and committed adultery with Concubine Luo.
He is the lord of the Dan Palace, but he is ambitious and has always wanted to get his hands on Daxia's imperial power.
It took more than ten years of deliberate planning to send his concubine to the summer palace and his blood to the throne of the prince. He thought that everything would come naturally. After Xia Houhong ascended the throne and became emperor, he would be Da Xia. It's too emperor.
But who knew, all of this was thought to be Xia Houhong's death, but nothing happened.
Thinking of this, Chen Hongru felt that his heart was bleeding.
Although Qicheng said that Xia Houhong died unfortunately at the hands of the ninth-order python, but Chen Hongru didn't believe it.
In order to protect Xiahouhong's safety in the Xixia Plain, he specially found Bihuang and Zhaofeng to protect him. Zhaofeng also had his refined local beast on him, which was enough to protect Xiahouhong's safety.
But under such circumstances, Xia Houhong is still dead, how can this prevent Chen Hongru from becoming suspicious.
