Chapter 412 Spy
In less than a few days, the news that Lord Jinghai disappeared and was suspected to have been killed by the eldest prince was like having wings, and people everywhere were talking about it.
By the time this news spread throughout Yanlong Kingdom, it gradually spread to all overseas places. At the very least, people from the Kamikaze Kingdom and the Fuyu Kingdom who were some distance away also heard the corresponding rumors.
Most people who heard this rumor had no other thoughts except sighing and sighing at the intensity of the Yanlong royal family's private intrigues.
As for the citizens of Yanlong Kingdom, they generally do not believe this statement. They have a very good impression of the eldest prince of Yanlong Kingdom, and naturally they do not think that the eldest prince will kill Lord Jinghai. His Royal Highness is gentle and tolerant, and is also very popular among the people. On the contrary, Gentleman Jinghai is valued by his mother, and his reputation is not good on weekdays. The people of Yanlong have no good impressions of him.
"That's nonsense. Why did the Crown Prince want to kill Lord Jinghai?"
"I think this matter must be caused by Mrs. Zhaoai again..."
"Isn't that right? It is said that Mrs. Zhao'ai has been making noises about changing the heir apparent. Now I don't know what kind of evil moth is coming up. Anyway, there is no certainty whether Lord Jinghai will live or die. I think there is something behind this matter. Is there another article?"
There have been few major events in the Yanlong Kingdom for many years, and the court and the people have not had many taboos about political affairs. In addition, there are many sea travelers and merchants traveling from north to south. In the teahouses and restaurants in the royal city, people often talk about the royal family’s recent past. what happened.
"There is another article, so what's the explanation?"
This restaurant has three floors. The bottom floor can be regarded as a teahouse, which also sells tea and so on. Because it is located in a port, many of the merchants coming and going come from all walks of life.
Several guests, who were obviously out-of-towners, were talking about it. After all, this is a rumor that has been making a lot of noise recently. Compared with the sea people of Yanlong Kingdom, these foreign sea travelers are more interested in talking about this news.
"It is said that the place where Mr. Jinghai disappeared was not in the waters of Yanlong Kingdom, but near the Shiye Island of the Aurora Chamber of Commerce..."
The person who said this was a sea visitor with a mustache on his lips. He should be a talkative person. While pouring a cup of tea into a porcelain bowl with a big kettle, he proudly talked about the gossip he had obtained. .
"Shiye Island, that's not a good place to go."
One of the guests, who had dark skin and looked like a sailor who had been sailing for many years, frowned.
"I remember that it was a semicolon stronghold of the Aurora Chamber of Commerce. Why would Mr. Jinghai go there if he had nothing to do?"
"Then no one will know."
Mustache shook his head.
"Have you ever heard of Zhang Jiubao? There is a recent theory that Mr. Jinghai was kidnapped by Zhang Jiubao and was going to blame the Aurora Chamber of Commerce."
"What?"
There was a guest sitting next to him, wearing a large brocade robe. He was holding a fan to fan the afternoon heat. He was stunned for a moment, and the cup he had just made was almost knocked over by the man in brocade robe.
"Isn't this nonsense... That Zhang Jiubao usually moves around Heiming Island and Fuyu Sea Country, how could he come here? Besides, he is making trouble here on Shiye Island, and he is not afraid of being attacked by people from the Aurora Chamber of Commerce. Caught!"
"this……"
The mustache was a little speechless, and he replied angrily: "How do I know about this kind of thing? Maybe Zhang Jiubao was just doing nothing, and happened to run into Lord Jinghai's envoy ship, which led to this incident."
In fact, there are usually Taoists like General Vyasa stationed on Shiye Island, and even "Zhang Jiubao" is not willing to stroke the tiger's beard easily. However, this kind of information is not information that ordinary seafarers can know.
"That's weird."
The brocade-robed Haike played with the finger in his hand and frowned.
"I heard the news, which is somewhat different from what you said. Zhang Jiubao's territory is too far away from Shiye Island. I don't expect this person to come near Shiye Island. The disappearance of Mr. Jinghai is indeed another matter. There are articles..."
"Mr. Yun, do you have any insights?"
The dark-skinned sea merchant who looked like a sailor also asked.
"No idea."
The name of the merchant in Jinpao is "Chen Yun". Among these merchants, he is considered to be a person with relatively big background and ability. Therefore, when he speaks, everyone listens to him honestly and he smiles. He smiled and said in a gentle tone: "There are several versions of the news I have heard recently. In addition to Zhang Jiubao, some said it was done by masters from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce... By the way, some said it was Lord Jinghai. He has obtained some incredible treasure and is being hunted by some mysterious force. According to me, these news might be someone’s occult attempt.”
"Making nonsense?"
Mustache couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
"Brother Yun, what you mean is that someone secretly released this information, so what is this person planning?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The brocade-robed Haike laughed several times.
"Maybe this is the person who killed Jinghai-kun. In order to prevent others from finding out the flaws, he may have made up these lies."
"That's a smart guy."
In a private room on the third floor of the restaurant, He Ping was dressed in a green shirt and a scholar's turban. He looked like a foreigner who abandoned Confucianism and became a businessman.
He was holding a glass of sake in his hand, just a little bit of wine, and his chopsticks didn't even move. This is a private room on the third floor. There were several plates of wine and food on the wine table, but at this stage of his cultivation, he could only eat and drink, and he seldom ate or drank on weekdays.
While listening to the conversations of the guests on the upper and lower floors, he secretly recalled that he had been in and out of several large markets in Yanlong Port in the past few days, secretly spreading the news about Jinghai Jun's disappearance.
In fact, there were several messages compiled by him. After being passed on through the mouths of many people, they were also passed on to each other by some seafarers traveling to and from the port. In just a few days, with the help of interested people, the version was updated many times. Second-rate.
Judging from the current situation, the person who has been hit hardest by this incident is the unlucky Prince Yan Long.
According to rumors, after receiving the news, the king of the country, Jin Yucong, called the prince to reprimand him overnight. This doesn't make sense, but Mr. Jinghai who had the accident did indeed disappear in the crown prince's territory. Just for this reason, it would be difficult for the prince to escape the relationship.
Later, Jin Yucong also ordered the prince to investigate the matter thoroughly, and to see the missing Lord Jinghai before he was alive and before he died.
In addition, Mrs. Zhaoai was surprisingly calm after receiving the news.
Anyone with a little knowledge knows that this is a storm that is about to come. He Ping was able to tell from some clueless details that the king Jin Yucong was obviously dissatisfied with the crown prince, and because of the disappearance of Lord Jinghai, the king was already wary of his heir.
Jin Yucong, the king of the country, is not too old. He is only over fifty years old. He has also practiced Taoism and taken many life-extending pills. Furthermore, the "Ice Chi Frozen Aura" transmitted from Bing Chi Palace is a way to enter the Tao. If you have outstanding qualifications, it is not impossible to break through and enter the Tao.
The king of the country should not have such qualifications yet, but it is not a big problem for him to live to be a hundred years old, and his eldest son, Prince Yan Long, is much more popular than the king of the country.
As the head of the country, Jin Yucong must have had a subtle attitude towards the crown prince. Madam Zhaoai was able to persuade him to give up his eldest son. The reason for this was not necessarily because of the strong wind blowing by Madam Zhaoai's pillow, but more likely. It was Jin Yucong who was originally worried that his eldest son would threaten his status.
"From this point of view, the situation of Prince Yan Long can be said to be quite bad."
He Ping laughed happily and said to himself.
"His father, the king, is not too worried, but since he was born in an imperial family, he will never be able to avoid these troubles. I don't know if he can survive this disaster!"
However, he did not deliberately throw out these news against the eldest prince. The other party is not a Taoist level master, so it is really not worthy of him to personally target him.
On the surface, He Ping put out a lot of specious fake news, but in fact there is a piece of real news hidden in these news. That is, a very important piece of news was mixed in among these spread of fake news. And this real news is about the death of Jin Riyan, the master of Bingchi Palace.
Regarding this news, it explained in great detail the information that Jin Riyan provoked Baojian Hou of Jiujiang Marquis Mansion and was stabbed to death by him because of his rude words.
This news is even more shocking than the disappearance and death of Jinghai-kun, and it is a real bombshell. However, the news of Kim Il-min's death was mixed with a large amount of false news, and because everyone's attention was obviously attracted by other information, this key information may be ignored, but in the eyes of those who are interested, this news Very dazzling.
"People in Bingzhi Palace will definitely notice this news."
He Ping calculated, he guessed that Bing Chi Palace would become very nervous after getting this information.
Once Jin Riyan died, there was only one Supreme Elder left in Bingchi Palace to support the situation. Yanlong's country had a great cause, but without the support of strong masters, the future results can be imagined.
"Other forces also have spies in the Yanlong Kingdom. They will definitely discover this information. Since Jin Rishen's death, the Bingzhi Palace has secretly blocked his information and claimed that the palace owner is practicing in seclusion."
"Of course, the cultivation of Taoist masters is usually very time-consuming, and it is not surprising to be in seclusion for more than ten years. But no matter what, even if these masters are in seclusion, they will still have some exposure to the outside world."
"This is also to prevent outsiders from thinking that there is something wrong with their seclusion, or that they have gone crazy in seclusion, and their enemies will take the initiative to knock on the door after being found out. However, there has been no news about Kim Il-min for so many years, and outsiders will definitely notice the clues."
He Ping first touched King Jinghai, and then went to provoke Vyasuo. It was not just boring. His real intention was to spread the news about Jin Richen's death, so as to force all forces to take action against Yanlong Kingdom.
At the same time, he could not break the situation in Yan Long Kingdom. You must know that all overseas forces have temporarily reached a balance.
After a long period of time, a balanced situation among all parties was reached between the three major manifest gods, the three sea nations, the three major chambers of commerce, the seven major remnants, and the four islands of strange heroes. And in this situation, if it remained unchanged at all, it would be a pool of stagnant water, and He Ping would not be able to muddy the waters and fish in muddy waters.
However, if things get out of hand, turn the world upside down, and even attract masters of the Manifestation level to intervene, then he will definitely not get much benefit in the end.
"It is true to say that running a big country is like cooking small dishes. Fishing in troubled waters requires a strategy. Just like cooking small dishes, the heat is very important."
He Ping thought for a while, stretched out his finger, and a demon seed quickly condensed. With a flick of his finger, the demon seed passed through the floor, invisible and fell silently on the man named Chen Yun. Haike's head.
Without any sound, the demon seed parasitized in Chen Yun's mind. If this demon species is not activated, it is harmless to ordinary people, just an inconspicuous part of the turbulent current that is equivalent to the level of one's own consciousness.
"This merchant named Chen Yun has some insight. He saw that I used a strategy to spread the news to confuse my real goal. However, the purpose was not to cover up that I had killed Jinghai Jun, but to spread another piece of news. Implant false news so that it can reach the ears of interested people..."
Chen Yun didn't even realize that he had been planted with a demonic seed. He continued to chat with these friends who were also maritime merchants for a while, and after eating some refreshments, he saluted a few of them and said that he still had something to do. , leave first.
After the brocade-robed merchant said goodbye to everyone, he slowly left the restaurant.
…
Chen Yun left the restaurant and walked towards the seaside port. His target was one of the large ships. The name of this seagoing ship was the Fuhai, which belonged to a small merchant association of several ship merchants. Three generations of Chen Yun’s ancestors were seafarers, and the Fuhai was also the Chen family’s ship. He boarded the ship, greeted a few sailors, and Enter a cabin.
After entering the cabin, Chen Yun's behavior suddenly became cautious. He looked left and right, looked around, then closed the doors and windows tightly, and carefully took out a message jade guide from somewhere.
"Fairy spirits and fairy spirits, return to the gods and condense their energy to reveal my true spirit..."
He closed his eyes tightly and recited a few spells, then took a deep breath and exhaled a wisp of mixed essence energy.
Buzz…
A vermilion talisman on the messenger jade lamp lit up, and a voice also sounded from the messenger jade sword.
"Chen Yun, what's the matter with you using this jade gui to send me a message?"
"My lord, I have important information to report."
Chen Yun's tone also became dignified and serious.
"What information?"
There was a trace of doubt in that voice.
He Ping also became interested when he heard this. He didn't expect that he just used the magic seed to find an implant at random, and the other party seemed to have a hidden identity.
"I also made a mistake... This Chen Yun seems to be a spy sent by a certain force to the Yanlong Kingdom."
His eyes narrowed slightly.
Yanlong Kingdom is a mixed bag of fish and dragons. This Sea Kingdom itself is considered the place where Bingchi Palace belongs. No one can be sure whether there are experts sent by other forces besides the Supreme Elder on this island.
For these reasons, He Ping did not use magic seeds indiscriminately to avoid exposing his flaws or being discovered by others. During this period, except for using magic seeds to convey messages, He Ping did not do anything randomly. He did not expect that he I found a random passerby and planted a magic seed, and I caught a big fish.
"Let me hear what news Chen Yun wants to report to his master..."
