Chapter 114 Birthday Banquet
Xu Yan asked Qi Yuanjiu to choose a trusted servant, and escort Xiaoyu to a distant town with a thousand taels of silver.
Changxing Mansion is too close to the imperial city, and Xu Yan cannot guarantee whether the queen will gain power again. He can leave it at that time. If Xiaoyu is left nearby, he will definitely not escape the queen's vicious hand.
It’s not about relatives or because of this, Xu Yan has already had a clear conscience.
After seeing Xiaoyu off, Xu Yan began to plan for himself.
The emperor's funeral is his final deadline. Before that, he must stay away from the imperial city or even the Da Shang Dynasty.
Xu Yan was not so arrogant that he dared to fight against the entire royal family on his own.
Fortunately, time is not in a hurry.
It seems that the Emperor of Shang will live for three or two months.
Xu Yan's merit value is now as high as 45 points, and he has to spend it before leaving.
After going to the Merit Pavilion, Xu Yan exchanged five merit points for the Sea Soul Pearl.
This thing can be sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver. The initial price was ten points of merit. After the Demon Flower Incident, the Merit Pavilion was 50% off, which became five points.
Not expensive.
The Sea Soul Bead has an absolute connection with the death of Sikong Blue and White. Xu Yan can't guess what it involves now, and this bead is the clue.
Since we plan to form an alliance with Sikong Blue and White, the Sea Soul Bead must be obtained.
With forty points left in merit, Xu Yan couldn't think of changing something for a moment.
Magic tool?
The cheapest ones are all worth fifty points of merit, and Xu Yan has magic weapons on him, and Li Si's ice-tooth dagger is in his arms.
Xu Yan tried to control it, but the result was ineffective.
Upgrading to the White Slave, his spiritual energy was still only a little bit. Not only did the meridians in his body remained unopened, but instead became more blocked due to the existence of the ice-cold talent, almost blocking the original subtle channel.
Even if it can be used, Xu Yan will not take it out.
If you really want to show the ice otto dagger, it is equivalent to telling everyone that they are involved with Li Si.
Li Si's suicide at the dynasty meeting is still a mystery.
Many people don’t believe that Li Si will do this, but there is no other clue to prove that something happened to Li Si.
After returning to the Western Yaman, Xu Yan heard about something.
Northern Jin sent envoys to visit Da Shang.
The Northern Jin and the Great Shang Dynasty have not interacted with each other for many years and have no intersection except for war. The reason why the Northern Jin Dynasty suddenly sent envoys this time was actually related to the Great Shang Emperor.
At the end of last year, Shang Wuji had already sent a special envoy to Northern Jin Dynasty with a secret letter to discuss the marriage between the two countries.
This time, the Northern Jin envoy came to respond to the accurate news about the marriage of Emperor Shang.
The marriage seems to be a foregone conclusion.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor is paving the way for the prince and winning over the most difficult powerful enemy.
The emperor knew very well what the prince was.
Northern Jin was like a bad wave, thinking about the fat piece of Da Shang all the time. If you don’t have tough skills, the best way is to marry.
"While using marriage to win over the Northern Jin Dynasty, it attracted the Five Poisons Sect to check and balance the Si Tianjian, killing two birds with one stone."
Xu Yan was thinking about the deeper intention of marriage.
The more I think about it, the more I feel the emperor is pitiful.
Even though he knew that the prince was not his own blood, he had to continue paving the way for him. This emperor deserved it, and it was already considered that Shang Wuji's heart was strong enough to not be frustrated.
"A man dies like a lamp that goes out. The descendants don't worship you, your ancestor, are you. Why should you regard the business world as so important?"
After all, Xu Yan's ideas are different from others.
He had seen too many sinister and vicious human hearts, so he had a little doubt about the emperor's actions.
This unfounded suspicion was just an idea, and it flew away with an invitation sent by someone else.
"Xu Aodashou, even I have a share."
Xu Yan looked at the invitation and said to himself: "There is no good wine and no good banquet. This guy finally couldn't help it. I have to choose a big gift for him."
When choosing a gift, I walked out of the city, found a secluded and quiet place, and tried to summon new dead people.
As expected, it was not successful.
After becoming a white zombie, Xu Yan's soul has been improved. He can summon Xiaohong and Xiaolan without the medicinal effect of the Shenshen Pill, but the power of the soul required to summon other empty spaces is definitely not something that can be reached at this level.
Unless you continue to greatly enhance the power of the soul, or take the Tibetan God Pill again.
Thinking of the magic refining technique recorded in the detailed explanation of the soul, Xu Yan thought to himself.
"Chu Lu'e is born with a weak soul, and it is not a long-term solution to sacrifice life. Chu Honglian has been running around for many years. Will she also look for this kind of martial art that can strengthen the soul?"
Thinking of the Chu sisters, Xu Yan had to be curious about the coordinates of seven horizontal and nine vertical on the map, and even looked forward to it.
The strongest coroner and the fire poison envoy of the Five Poison Sects died here, which shows that the mysterious area marked on the map is by no means a good place. In addition, Chang Yuchun and Ni Qiuyan value Chu Honglian's whereabouts, Xu Yan did not think it was a good idea to go alone to explore.
It is best to disclose this place to the official of the East and West Second Office.
In any dangerous situation, it is safest to follow the capable person to find a bargain.
How to reveal the clues does not arouse the suspicion of the two officials, you need to think carefully.
Three days later, the birthday party was on.
Xu Ao's birthday banquet was extremely grand, and the location was actually located in the expensive Zuixian Tower.
On the birthday party, guests from all walks of life were endless.
Xu Yan and Luo Yiyun, who disguised as Liu Muqiao, went to the Zuixian Tower together.
Qi Yuanjian also wanted to come, but was rejected by Xu Yan.
This banquet was obviously aimed at Liu Muqiao, and even Xu Yan might have been brought up. Isn’t it because Qi Yuanguang came to seek death?
At the banquet, Xu Ao raised his glass frequently, and seemed very happy.
Xu Yan was drunk until the glass was dry, and he acted very freely. Luo Yiyun was even more so. He didn't even look at the glass, but he tilted his head and drank it, not caring whether the wine was poisonous.
"Doctor Liu is good at drinking!"
Xu Ao brought the wine pot and poured wine himself, laughing and said, "I heard that Doctor Liu gave three prescriptions for Chang'an Hall. The effect is amazing. Recently, he has been praised so much. I wonder if it is really that effective."
"Whether it works, it won't be clear if Boss Xu takes a few doses."
Luo Yiyun's voice was low and old. If he were not familiar, outsiders could hardly hear it.
"Not to say, I really sent someone to buy a few Yishou pills yesterday. Today, I will be so energetic and energetic, haha." Xu Ao said.
"Boss Xu is in good health. It is better to take less medicine if you don't take medicine. If you really take the wrong medicine, it will be troublesome." Luo Yiyun smiled.
"How could it be? Doctor Liu's prescription is naturally beneficial and harmless. Haha, we are not secretly talking about it. I, Xu, respect Doctor Liu's medical skills and plan to buy those three prescriptions at a high price. You can give a price." Xu Ao said.
"Boss Xu is really good at joking. The prescription is the life of a doctor. How can you sell it if you say it?" Luo Yiyun smiled.
Everyone on the table stopped talking, stopped eating and drinking, and looked at them.
The confrontation between Yongjitang and Chang'antang is related to who will be the first in the imperial city's territory in the future.
All of the people here are the owners of major pharmaceutical shops or merchants selling medicinal materials, and they all know that this is a battle where gunpowder is invisible.
