Collapse of Iron: The Immortal Boat Life of the Envoy of the Order of Fertility
Chapter 80: Vidanayama
After being taught by Qingque, Lu Qing temporarily calmed down and chose to continue playing Qiong Yu cards with her.
His luck was as bad as ever. He didn't win many games from noon to afternoon. Fortunately, his mental strength was strong and he didn't lose his mind because of losing too much.
Calculating the time, Yunli was about to finish school. After saying goodbye to Qingque, he immediately teleported back to Zhuming.
When Qingque saw that Lanqing had left, she no longer had the heart to play cards. It happened that Taibusi was about to get off work, so she went to Taibusi to show her face first, and then went home.
Qingque doesn't like to waste her free time playing Qiong Yu cards. She prefers to play cards while working.
Shortly after the two left, a suspicious-looking man in a robe took away the potted plant that had withered under the influence of the rain.
He took the potted plant in one go, without attracting the attention of passers-by at all. Without any hesitation, he swaggered into the crowd and left.
……
"Sir, you have what you want."
He raised the potted plant in his hand above his head and respectfully presented it to the hooded boy who was sitting on a high position.
The boy brought the potted plant in front of him, feeling the intoxicating power of abundance within the withered plant.
"The tiny bit of life force hidden in the decay and withering is truly fascinating."
Fifteen years ago, he was on his deathbed, just like the plant in front of him. Perhaps it was his life span that was about to end, and his desire for life when he was about to be reincarnated, and his obsession with not wanting his memory to fade away, that led him to find this glimmer of hope.
It was night time and there were no pedestrians around. He chose to directly devour the withered plants that contained endless vitality for him. Soon, an incredible miracle emerged from his decayed and old body.
He achieved rejuvenation.
The novelty and the incredible surge of emotions, the strong and uncontrollable desire made him take away all the withered plants. At the same time, in order not to attract unnecessary attention, he also sent people to select plants of the same type and plant them in their place.
Since then, he has conducted endless research on these withered lives, and has not slept for countless days and months, which has allowed him to understand the essence of these plants.
The power of abundance.
It is really incredible. Although these plants appear to be withered on the outside, they are still full of vitality inside, and even contain much more vitality than normal plants.
"Well, well done. Have you figured out who is influencing this plant?"
The clear and bright voice of a young man sounded, but it carried with it an unquestionable majesty.
Revealed beneath the hood was a slightly childish face that was at odds with his solemn and serious expression, and his every gesture was filled with the majesty of a superior.
"My lord, we have been secretly observing in Changletian for fifteen years. Apart from seeing the plants withering again, we have not found anything and there is nothing suspicious."
"If I have to say it, Qingque, who has been playing cards at Changletian, now has a new poker partner."
The hooded boy also knew Qingque, a famous card player in Changletian. He had also looked for Qingque to play cards, but he was just an ordinary person.
"Oh?" Not wanting to miss any suspicious spots, "Does that person have any characteristics?!"
"Nothing special, just an ordinary Xianzhou person." His mind was vague about Lu Qing. Strange, he clearly remembered that person as quite conspicuous. Was it an illusion?
"No matter if he is ordinary or not, check his identity immediately."
"Yes, sir." He agreed quickly, but he secretly complained in his heart: how can we check someone's identity without any intelligence? They don't have the authority to monitor the immortal ship, which is really embarrassing.
"Oh, by the way, when it's late at night and everyone is asleep, steal back all the remaining withered plants and replant them with new ones."
"Yes."
"Go back."
"Wait." The hooded boy thought for a moment.
"Is there anything else, my lord?"
"Let's kidnap Qingque here. She's just a small fortune teller from the Taibu Division. No one would care if she disappeared for a night. Take her to the Danding Division. I have plenty of ways to get anything out of her."
Qingque is just an ordinary fortune teller. Dandingsi has a bunch of memory-erasing and truth-revealing pills. Once he feeds them, won't he be at the mercy of others?
Moreover, it was only one night, so it wouldn't cause much trouble. Even if they found the Land and Investment Bureau, they would probably not conduct an investigation because the time of disappearance was not long enough.
The man responded and then retreated, leaving the hooded boy staring at the potted plant in a trance.
He walked forward and touched the withered branches emotionally, the longing in his eyes was indescribable.
"This time, I can't eat you so carelessly... I want you to help me achieve eternal life!"
When he took off the hood, he was revealed to be a young man from the Vajra tribe. In addition to the long ears unique to the Vajra tribe, he also had a pair of golden dragon-like horns on his head.
"Hehehe, Tao Ran, let's see how you can fight me! Abundant power? I have it too! It's stronger than yours, a hundred times, a thousand times stronger!"
"Put your hopes on the sinner Drinking the Moon? Or control the new Dragon Lord? These are just petty tricks that are not worthy of being used in a high-class society. It would be better for me to become the new Dragon Lord! The revitalization of the Chiming clan will be led by me."
The young Chiming man with horns on his head was talking to himself like a madman.
"Taoran, I admit that I don't understand what kind of devious tricks you're pulling, but... in the face of absolute power, what use are your ridiculous schemes?"
"The power of the Chi Ming has now fallen into my hands. I will recreate the grand occasion when Lord Yin Yue was still alive!"
……
Qingque went off work happily, not noticing anything wrong.
However, after returning to her personal rental house, she keenly noticed that there was a problem with the placement of items in the room, as if someone had entered her rental house and looked for something.
Filled with a sense of crisis, she chose to rush out of the door... Although this thought came to her mind, her body could not keep up.
Someone grabbed her shoulders, and the feeling of fear made her pupils constrict and her whole body tremble.
The malice coming from behind made her heart beat wildly, and her legs were unable to move because of extreme fear.
The people who sneaked into her rental house also obviously noticed that she had arrived home.
"Qingque, an important person wants you to go to Dan..."
Before the man finished speaking, the bracelet on Qingque's hand lit up with a emerald green light. The villain who grabbed Qingque's shoulder was immediately swallowed up by the green light, leaving no trace.
She collapsed to the ground, not worrying about what would happen to the person swallowed by the green light. Qingque understood that if it weren't for the bracelet that Yanqing gave her to save her life, her own fate would not be much better.
"Is my home being robbed? No, this is kidnapping! Dihengsi..."
After Qingque realized that she was being targeted, she planned to seek Dihengsi's help as soon as possible. However, before she could act, the figure of Luanqing appeared in front of him.
Lu Qing was holding some of Zhu Ming's special snacks in his hands, and a slightly worried look appeared on his face.
Seeing that Lu Qing was coming, Qing Que threw herself on him and burst into tears.
"漧清!"
Knowing that Qingque was really scared, Lu Qing let her hug him and vent all the fear in her heart.
He didn't know what had happened, but he knew that the self-protection method he left for Qingque was triggered.
It also triggered the highest level of protection, directly eliminating the source of the malicious intent.
He hugged Qingque with his backhand and gently stroked her back as if comforting a child until Qingque stopped crying.
"Tell me what happened and I'll help you solve it. You can't live here anymore. I have my own cave in Taibusi. You can live there. It's safe there."
Qingque still held on to Luanqing's clothes tightly, and her eyes were still a little red.
"Alright, dear, I'll stay with you today. You'll be safe with the Envoy watching over you."
"Ah."
Qing Qing teleported to his own hut with Qing Que in his arms and handed the snack in his hand to Qing Que's mouth.
"No, I can't eat right now."
Qingque regained her sense of security by Luqing's side, gradually calmed down, and explained to Luqing what had happened.
"So this is not a simple home invasion robbery."
"Um... yes, I heard that person say that an adult wanted to invite me to visit Dan... but before he could finish his words, he was killed."
Lu Qing also started to think about it. Qingque was just an ordinary fortune teller. No one knew that Fu Xuan had chosen him except Fu Xuan himself and him. It was naturally impossible for Qingque to be kidnapped because of this.
At the same time, given Qingque's personality, it's impossible for him to have any grudges...
Go to dan, what exactly is this dan?
A big shot invited Qingque... This means that Qingque is very likely involved in a political struggle, a political struggle.
It’s not Taibusi, it’s dan…dan…Dandingsi.
Lu Qing discovered the blind spot. Compared with the other five departments, Luofu's Danding Division has long been in decline. Apart from curing diseases and saving lives, it no longer has any power.
But the actual controllers of the Dan Ding Division today are the ambitious Dragon Masters...
But what does this have to do with Qingque?
"Qingque, don't worry. Although I don't understand, I can go find Jingyuan." Lu Qing stood up and wanted to leave, but his clothes were held by Qingque.
"Don't leave, stay with me, at least wait until I fall asleep."
"Yeah." Please understand. Not to mention girls, even boys would be scared to death if they encountered such a thing. Kidnapping can easily leave a psychological trauma.
Since Qingque wants him to accompany her, then he should accompany her. It would be good if it could make her feel more at ease.
Time passed slowly, and Qingque, who had no appetite to begin with, felt her stomach growl, causing her to blush. Luanqing smiled and took out the snacks she had brought with her. This time, Qingque did not refuse and began to eat them in small bites.
These snacks were originally bought to eat with Yunli, but Qingque suddenly had an accident, so he brought it here in a hurry.
In order to confirm Qingque's safety, he didn't have time to explain anything to Yunli, but left Qiong to convey the message.
After eating, Qingque leaned quietly on Luqing's body, curled up into a ball without saying anything.
Lu Qing didn't say anything, just stayed by her side quietly.
After an unknown amount of time, Qingque finally felt a little sleepy and fell asleep under the comfort of Ranqing. It was already three o'clock in the morning.
After confirming that Qingque was asleep, Lu Qing got up silently. He planned to find Jingyuan to ask what happened.
……
Shen Ce Mansion.
Jingyuan was still very tired at work today and did not finish all the documents until the middle of the night.
When Jingyuan was lying in bed and about to fall asleep, the sound of knocking on the door disturbed him.
He wanted to shout "Who is it?", but thought that it would not be in line with his character and he did not shout out.
He only heard the person knocking on the door asking him, "Jing Yuanyuan, are you asleep? If not, answer me!"
Tsk, it’s so noisy that I’ll be woken up even if I’m asleep.
However, when he heard Qingqing's voice, he was no longer angry.
"I'm not asleep yet. What's wrong?"
"Well, something happened."
"Come in and sit down first, and talk slowly."
When Qingqing went in and saw Jingyuan in pajamas, she knew that this guy wanted to go to bed, but you have to admit, this guy's pajamas were really nice-looking.
After praising Jingyuan's pajamas, Lu Qing told him about Qingque.
After he finished speaking, Jing Yuan said to him seriously, "Lingqing, the problems of the Danding Division are indeed serious, but Luofu is now lacking in talent, and we really don't have the energy to check and balance those dragon masters."
"Giving most of the power of the Dan Ding Division to the Dragon Masters is a compromise."
The new Si Ding has not been elected yet. The lack of talent is one problem, and another problem is the conflict within Luofu and the Chiming tribe.
It was a rare moment for Lu Qing to show her anger in front of Jing Yuan. "I know you know how to handle things within the Dan Ding Division, so I don't want to get involved. But this time, those Dragon Masters really went too far and got on my nerves!"
"Doesn't Luofu have enough manpower to deal with the Vajra Clan? Then I'll be in charge of the Vajra Clan!"
Jing Yuan slowly asked a question. He hadn't even considered directing Lu Qing to deal with the Chi Ming tribe, because he knew that the cost of plotting against the envoy was not something Luo Fu could afford. However, Lu Qing's idea of dealing with the Chi Ming was certainly a good thing.
But I just hope that Qingqing doesn't make things too big.
If this matter gets out of hand, it will lead to the breakdown of the alliance.
Jing Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Renqing, since you want to be in charge of the Dan Ding Division, I will certainly not stop you. However, I only ask that you promise me one thing."
"Giving those dragon masters the possibility of reincarnation..."
"That depends on what they want to do... Don't worry, Jing Yuan, I'm not a reckless person. Killing everyone is certainly not an option."
"In that case, I will hand over the long-vacant position of Luofu Dan Ding Si to you. Do your best to resolve the problem within the chessboard."
"What do you mean by chessboard?"
"If you don't have evidence that Master Long has betrayed the Immortal Boat, you must not attack Master Long."
After hearing Jing Yuan's words, Lu Qing smiled strangely: "What you said, it seems that you have known that Master Long is not right for a long time?"
Jing Yuan did not comment.
