Chapter 701 Xiao Cheng's Opportunity
Lin Qianyue held the money and watched Xiao Cheng leave.
Before the airship door closed, Xiao Cheng turned around and waved to his wife and daughter.
He lowered his voice and said, "Go back to sleep. The Duke's Mansion has made all the arrangements."
Lin Qianyue nodded with tears in her eyes, "Leave the family and the capital to me, you can go with peace of mind."
Xiao Cheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile as refreshing as the breeze and bright as the moon.
Lin Qianyue...
This guy really is.
Money money...
He rubbed his eyes in his mother's arms and waved to his father, "Dad, there are bombs on the airship, if you need them, just use them."
Xiao Cheng...
Haha, what can the Duke use to fight him?
With a daughter, he is simply invincible.
He turned around and entered the airship with a smile, and saw rare looks of panic on the faces of the black-clothed teenagers whom he trusted and personally trained.
He laughed heartlessly, "During the days when we are in Lingnan, each of you must learn how to fly an airship."
Everyone...
They felt mixed emotions, as they wanted to control this flying lump of iron but were also a little scared.
Xiao Cheng took a deep breath, recalled his previous experience of flying an airship and started to operate it.
The airship took off, smoothly and quietly.
Qianqian watched the airship fly farther and farther away, and finally felt relieved.
It seems that the core source can also be used in this small world, which is enough.
Seeing that her daughter was so sleepy that her eyelids were fighting each other, Lin Qianyue hurriedly took the child back to the house to sleep.
The next day, Lin Qianyue sent people to use interrogation insects on the Duke's confidants who stayed in the mansion.
After a round of interrogation, she found out that the people left behind by the Duke were just there to run errands.
They didn't know much about the Duke's affairs.
Even the old butler harbored resentment towards him because he worked for the Duke in his early years and did not see his widowed mother for the last time.
Therefore, when Xiao Cheng took action against the Duke's Mansion, he pretended to be deaf and dumb.
The more Lin Qianyue interrogated, the more frightened she became.
It can be said that all the people that the Duke left in the Duke's Mansion in the capital are insignificant little people.
Those true confidants and right-hand men would certainly be assigned by him to do more important tasks.
So what exactly is the Duke doing?
"Alas," Lin Qianyue murmured in a low voice, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind, "Xiao Jin, what exactly do you want to do?"
Qianqian who is chewing chicken wings...
Seeing my mother's sad face and listening to her whispering, an idea suddenly occurred to me.
"Mom," she handed over a fragrant braised chicken wing, "Since the Duke's Mansion is under our control, should we also contact the military camp in the capital secretly?"
歘.
Lin Qianyue stood up suddenly, "Yes."
He looked at his daughter with a sharp gaze, "There's not even a trace of the Duke's Mansion left. What about the military camp in the capital?"
"Money," he sat down slowly and put aside the chicken wings his daughter handed him. "The military power of Daqian will be shared equally between Xiao Jin and the emperor."
"What do you think the situation of the military camp in the capital city is like now?"
Money money...
He shook his head in confusion, "I just got here, I don't understand."
"But isn't it said that the military power in Xiao Jin's hands originally belonged to the Qin family army?"
"While Xiao Jin is not in the capital, can we secretly contact the former members of the Qin Army?"
Lin Qianyue nodded, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
She always felt that something big might happen in the capital.
Without further delay, he immediately ordered people to investigate the military camp in the capital.
Qianqian picked up the braised chicken wings and started to eat them...
Three days later, Xiao Cheng's airship arrived over Lingnan.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble during the day, the airship flew very high.
At night, Xiao Cheng lowered the airship and observed the entire Lingnan situation bit by bit.
The confidant held up the telescope given by the master and observed carefully. The more he observed, the more panicked he became. "Master, didn't they say that there was a flood in Lingnan and refugees were everywhere?"
"It's hard to tell whether this is a flood or not, but there are really not many refugees."
Xiao Cheng's eyes were cold, "Put down the rope ladder, and send a small team of people down to investigate the situation in Lingnan."
"Yes."
The sky brightened and the airship rose again.
The small team sent by Xiao Cheng spread out and investigated the flood-stricken areas in Lingnan for a whole day.
At night, the people who were sent out returned to the airship, "Master."
The leading black-clad teenager summarized the information that everyone had found out, "There has been no flood in Lingnan this year."
"The Duke of Zhenguo had earlier deployed a team of 3,000 people to guard the entrances and exits to other cities in Lingnan."
"The entire Lingnan region is open to the public, but not to the public. The person leading the garrison team at the Zhenguogong Mansion is Xiao Qi."
Xiao Cheng...
"Xiao Qi, my sworn brother."
After a moment's silence, he asked, "Do you know where Xiao Qi is now?"
"Tongguan, Lingnan."
Xiao Cheng sneered, "Since there is no flood in Lingnan, let's go to Tongguan to meet my good brother."
The airship changed direction and headed towards Tongguan.
In just one hour, the airship hovered above Tongguan, and Xiao Cheng led his men to leave the airship via the rope ladder.
After landing, Xiao Cheng asked in a low voice, "Are you sure that Xiao Qi is staying here?"
He raised his eyes and looked at the house not far away.
Several black-clothed teenagers nodded heavily, "Master, we used the interrogation insect to interrogate the generals of the Xiao family army guarding the city."
Xiao Cheng curled his lips and took out a lot of smoke bombs from the bag on his waist.
Distribute them to the subordinates one by one, "Sneak in quietly and don't alert the enemy, I only want Xiao Qi."
"Yes."
The young men dispersed, and Xiao Cheng observed the area around the house.
After waiting for a while, a young man in black came back and said, "Master, the Xiao family soldiers guarding the courtyard and Shadow have been drugged."
After a pause, he said, "We found Xiao Qi's room, but there are some things in his room."
Xiao Cheng raised his eyebrows and raised his hand, "Let's go."
Following the subordinates to Xiao Qi's bedroom, the road was smooth.
Ordering his men to guard outside the house, Xiao Cheng quietly sneaked into Xiao Qi's room.
Xiao Qi had been hit by the smoke bomb and was unconscious in sleep, and Xiao Cheng kept groping around.
I saw several secret letters with unique text and seals that I had never seen before.
There are also some valuable jade jewelry, utensils, and ornaments...
It's obvious that they were collected from all over the place.
Xiao Cheng wondered, "Why collect these jades?"
He looked at the sleeping Xiao Qi, walked to his bed and searched carefully.
I felt a purple stone from under Xiao Qi's pillow. The stone was shiny and warm to the touch.
Xiao Cheng frowned, as if he had felt this breath somewhere before.
He sat down, his fingers tracing over the jade in his hand, thinking again and again.
The aura of this jade was too familiar, and it was this familiarity that he could not ignore.
It is important to intuitively find the source of this familiarity.
Xiao Cheng pursed his lips and thought, constantly recalling.
Unconsciously, my hand reached for my waist, and in my purse was the red juice and red fruits that my daughter had given me before I left.
Let him be just in case...
Wait, Xiao Cheng's eyes lit up.
She took out a red fruit from her purse, holding the red fruit in one hand and the purple jade in the other.
Yes.
It’s this breath…
Remembering what his daughter had said to him, he put away the red fruit without hesitation and slashed his palm with the dagger.
Hold the purple jade in your palm.
The blood was flowing out very quickly, and Xiao Cheng felt that the blood in his palm was constantly being absorbed by the purple jade.
After a long time, there was an indescribable stinging pain in the palm of my hand.
After the stinging pain, the jade disappeared and Xiao Cheng closed his eyes.
My consciousness is shrouded in fog...
