Chapter 101 Red Candle

When Wang Shuo returned to Qingyuan Hall, he found that someone was already sitting in the room.

Wang Shuo closed the door and asked: "Shangguan Yushi has been visiting for two days in a row. Is it necessary to test it?"

Shangguan Yu had no expression on his face and asked coldly: "I asked you to go, why did you ignore it?"

"Your Majesty the Censor is confused and suddenly wants to go to the lower official. How dare the lower official go?" Wang Shuo sat down in front of the round table and looked at Shangguan Yu.

Today, this person is dressed as a woman, with her long hair tied up and a long cyan skirt. Her face is lightly smeared with rouge and gouache. At first glance, she looks like a dewy beauty.

But there was still a look of indifference on his face: "You are just a Taishi. As a subordinate official, the words of the Censor are orders. Don't you know?"

Wang Shuo shrugged: "It's rare to see Shangguan Yushi dressed as a daughter. She is obviously a beauty, so why bother to dress up as a man? Could it be that there is something urgent and I don't have time to change into a woman's dress and come here to look for Shangguan?"

Shangguan Yu's expression changed slightly, and his originally extremely cold demeanor relaxed a bit: "I am not here to argue with you, but I want you to kill someone for me. Do you dare?"

Hearing this, Wang Shuo was stunned: "Killing people? Why is this?"

"Although the East-West Heavenly Girl Kingdom has ceased war, both sides have made full preparations for the subsequent war. There are many spies planted by each other! Now a person has been identified. In order not to alert the enemy, someone needs to secretly assassinate and replace this person to obtain information for me!

"

Wang Shuo stood up, thinking quickly in his mind, and after a long time he said: "Why do you have to be demoted? Besides, what's the point of being demoted if you succeed?"

"Although your magical power is comparable to the golden elixir, you can only show the initial cultivation level of foundation building, which can make the opponent put down their guard. What's more important is that your illusion is enough to confuse the fake with the real one. As for the benefits, it depends on what Taishi wants?" Shangguan Yu

Said sideways.

Wang Shuo calmed down his original rogue expression, frowned and said seriously: "I am not in a hurry for what I want, I just need the Prime Minister to help me find out the news!"

Shangguan raised his eyebrows: "Tell me and listen!"

Wang Shuo immediately held up his hands and said: "To be honest, Wang Shuo came to the Kingdom of Heavenly Lady only to find the thousand-year antlers to save my benefactor. It has been sixty years now. If we don't find this thing within thirty years, I'm afraid..."

"Thousand-year-old antlers? Deer demon blood curse?" Shangguan's expression changed slightly, and he was obviously equally horrified by what Wang Shuo said.

After a long while, Shangguan Yu nodded: "I'll try my best to ask for you!"

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Yu put down a jade slip and another token: "This is your Taishi Ling!" Then he stood up, passed by Wang Shuo, and left Qingyuan Hall.

Wang Shuo picked up the jade slip on the table and penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness. A woman's face immediately appeared. Wang Shuo immediately withdrew his spiritual consciousness from the jade slip and his expression changed several times.

"Lian Yu?"

Wang Shuo frowned, and once again put his consciousness into the jade slip, and compared it with the appearance in his mind. After confirming that it was exactly the same, Wang Shuo withdrew his consciousness from the jade slip.

"How is it possible? Lian Yu is just an ordinary woman. How could Shangguan Yu want me to kill her? There must be something weird!"

Wang Shuo picked up the jade slip, left the Qingyuan Hall, and rushed out of the palace.



Soon after, Wang Shuo arrived at the west gate of Tianshu City, where he saw Lian Yu a few days ago.

The city gate guard met Wang Shuo, thinking that Wang Shuo was someone who wanted to pass the border, and stopped Wang Shuo to check his identity order. Wang Shuo took out the Taishi Ling. The guard took the Taishi Ling from Wang Shuo and asked with a confused look on his face: "What kind of Qiba thing is this?"

Wang Shuo was stunned, and took Tai Shi Ling back. He was about to explain, but he thought it was unnecessary, so he said angrily: "What's wrong! How can you talk about such a shameful thing when you talk about tigers and wolves?"

Then he took out the residence order and handed it to the guard. The guard took the order: "Residence order, foreigner?"

"Is Miss Lian Yu still there at the city gate?" Wang Shuo asked the guard. Just as he was speaking, the guard returned the residence order to Wang Shuo and pursed his lips: "Inside that side gate!"

Wang Shuo thanked him and walked towards the side door. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lian Yu sitting cross-legged and meditating.

Since it was not inconvenient to disturb him, Wang Shuo sat aside and waited quietly. He kept thinking about Shangguan Yu's plan to kill her, and the more he thought about it, the more he didn't understand.

After a long time, Lian Yu opened his eyes and saw Wang Shuo here, with a surprised expression: "When will my benefactor come, why don't you call Lian Yu? Lian Yu is so lazy, why not look at Haihan!"

Wang Shuo smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, I just came here to see you!"

"Have a look at the slave family?" Lian Yu was startled, then smiled and said, "Why did my benefactor think of coming to see the slave family?"

Wang Shuo raised his eyebrows: "Lian Yu, let me ask you something. Answer it truthfully!"

Lian Yu looked puzzled: "Just ask me!"

"How many years have you been in charge of the inn alone after your parents died?"

"For five years, not long after my benefactor left, I sold the inn and used my benefactor's spiritual stone to buy the exercises, and I have devoted myself to cultivation ever since!"

Wang Shuo nodded and asked seriously: "Then since I left, until now, have you encountered any strange things?"

Hearing this, Lian Yu frowned and looked thoughtful: "Since my benefactor left, the slave family's cultivation has been smooth, everything is as usual, and nothing strange has happened. What's the matter, benefactor?"

Wang Shuo smiled: "Nothing, just asking! By the way, I've thought about your wine, but do you still have it?"

"Yes, yes, the wine brewed in the inn was reluctant to throw away and kept in the gourd. Now more than sixty years have passed, and it tastes even better!"

After saying that, Lian Yu took out several jars of wine from the gourd and filled the entire table: "Enough for my benefactor to drink!"

Wang Shuo shook his head and picked up a jar: "No need, one jar is enough!"

Lian Yu fetched a wine bowl for Wang Shuo, and Wang Shuo drank a jar of wine. It was also spicy, but the taste was even weirder.

"Sixty years have passed, and after drinking Lian Yu, it seems that I have returned to the time when I first entered the Kingdom of Heavenly Lady!"

After saying this, Wang Shuo stood up and cupped his hands with Lian Yu: "It's getting late, I'll leave first!"

As soon as he went out, Lian Yu chased him out: "My benefactor..."

Wang Shuo turned around and asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"

Before he finished speaking, Lian Yu thrust a red candle into Wang Shuo's hand, and then ran back to the side door with a blushing face.

Wang Shuo looked at the red candle in his hand and used his spiritual sense to explore it. It was just an ordinary red candle, not any magical weapon or artifact.

"What is this for?"



After burning a stick of incense, Wang Shuo arrived outside the palace gate.

Wang Shuo took out the Taishi Ling, and the guards immediately released Wang Shuo.

As soon as he entered the palace, he saw a beast cart speeding from a distance on the main road of the palace. Wang Shuo immediately moved out of the way and subconsciously looked into the car.

However, at this glance, Wang Shuo was stunned. The person in the car was none other than Lian Yu, whom he had met not long ago.

"That's...impossible. Lian Yu is clearly in the side gate of the west gate of Tianshu City. There is no way he can get to the palace before me anyway!" Wang Shuo said to himself.

"Could it be...two Lianyu?"
