Chapter 244: The Secret Guard Returns, Yu Qianli Discovers Xiao Ying's Trick
Just as Xiao Ying was expanding her business in full swing, her scumbag ex-husband Chen Ning, whom she had never met, finally found a group of experts.
After much inquiry and a high reward, Chen Ning finally gathered five people from the underworld.
These five people are all very powerful. Two of them are first-rate masters comparable to the fifth level of Qi Refining, and the remaining three are comparable to the fourth level of Qi Refining.
Hiring these five people cost him a full 100,000 taels of silver! Even Qi Yuping felt a little distressed and looked at him with even more displeasure.
Qi Yawei was very happy that her husband finally decided to get rid of his troublesome ex-wife and children.
If she hadn't loved Chen Ning so deeply and didn't want to leave him with the impression of being jealous and vicious, she wouldn't have wanted to stay with those lowly peasants.
After waiting for so many years and enduring for so many years, she finally got what she wanted.
As long as you can get rid of those eyesores, it's worth spending any amount of money.
After being tormented like this, Chen Ning completely let go. The reason why he sought out so many experts was because the attitude of the Dark Night Pavilion made him and Qi Yuping feel strange, and they wondered if something had happened to Xiao Ying.
But even if there are some changes, I believe it will be impossible to stop so many masters.
If Xiao Ying and her children could die for 100,000 taels of silver, their lives would not be in vain.
However, he was not too blatant. After all, Xiao Ying was conferred the title of Ninth Rank Lady by the Emperor. If any clues were found out, he would be finished. Therefore, the people hired were the most capable men of the Qi family.
The five people said they would get back news within seven days at the earliest and ten days at the latest. If they didn't get back within that time, it meant something had happened.
Before leaving, these people received a substantial deposit, and the remaining bulk would only be received after the deal was completed.
These people are desperate criminals in the underworld. They don't worry about the other party denying their crimes at all, unless they want their families to be destroyed.
Just as they were heading to Chenjia Village, the secret guard sent by the emperor to Chenjia Village to investigate potatoes finally returned.
The two were completely unaware that their memories had been tampered with. They reported everything according to the memories implanted by Xiao Ying, confirming that there was nothing unusual in Chenjia Village.
Those potatoes were indeed found in the mountains. The spiritual energy in the mountains is much richer than that in the outside world. This is probably why the potatoes are full of spiritual energy.
"It seems I was worrying too much."
The emperor sighed and believed what they said.
These secret guards were all trained by the Yu family since childhood and were loyal to the Yu family. No betrayal had ever happened to them so far, so he would not doubt them at all.
Furthermore, the spiritual energy in the mountains is indeed richer than that in the outside world. The Yu family’s base camp is in the mountains, and those cultivator armies also practice in the mountains. Perhaps the spiritual energy in the mountains near Chenjia Village is richer than that of ordinary mountains.
After sending away the two secret guards, he asked someone to report the matter to the young master of the Yu family. He had previously sent some potatoes to the Yu family, and Yu Qianli was very interested in it, so he was also very concerned about this matter.
Now that he knew it was just an accident, he naturally wanted to clarify.
However, when Yu Qianli heard this, he frowned slightly, and a look of doubt appeared on his handsome face.
Even if the seeds originally came from the mountains, it stands to reason that the spiritual energy would not be so rich after planting. The Yu family also has such spiritual plants, but they definitely cannot do this.
If you want to achieve such a rich level after planting, the spiritual energy contained in the seeds must at least double!
Such a concentration of spiritual energy is extremely rare even in the Yu family.
His white, slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, and he frowned in thought. There must be something wrong.
If this thing called potato wasn't so strange, the secret guard must have lied.
He had an idea in his mind, and then he stood up, and his snow-white robe disappeared in an instant.
An hour later, Yu Qianli appeared in the palace silently without disturbing anyone.
The most powerful person in the palace is the deputy commander of the Mingwei army of cultivators: a master of the seventh level of Qi Refining naturally cannot discover him.
Yu Qianli went directly to the current emperor Yu Feiyang. In terms of blood relationship, the two are half-brothers with the same father and have a good relationship since childhood, so he is also very concerned about Yu Feiyang's affairs.
Before Yu Feiyang ascended the throne, Yu Qianli was not yet the young master of the Yu family. At that time, he also had a title in the secular world and was named King Chen.
However, he was always elusive, and even the ministers in the court only saw him a few times, and gradually they forgot about him.
The two brothers kept in touch frequently. Yu Qianli would occasionally come to the palace to reminisce with Yu Feiyang, so much so that Yu Feiyang had long been accustomed to his unpredictable appearances.
"Didn't you just come here two days ago? How come you have time to come and chat with me today?"
In Tai'an Palace, Yu Feiyang was reviewing memorials when he suddenly saw a familiar figure walk in and greet him with a smile.
The chief eunuch behind him immediately bowed and saluted, then quietly left.
Yu Qianli sat down casually beside him, looking very comfortable and relaxed, which pleased Yu Feiyang very much.
"Brother just sent someone to report that the potatoes were found in the mountains. There's nothing unusual in Chenjia Village, but I think there might be something wrong."
"oh?"
Yu Feiyang was stunned for a moment and showed some vigilance. It turned out that he came here for this matter.
"Could those two secret guards dare to lie to me?"
Yu Qianli said, "It's hard to say what exactly happened right now, but to be able to grow potatoes with such rich spiritual energy, the concentration of spiritual energy in their seeds must be even higher. This is extremely rare even for the Yu family."
"If it were just one or two, it would be fine, but Chenjia Village clearly dug quite a few out of the mountains. This doesn't make sense."
Yu Feiyang nodded slightly, realizing the seriousness of the matter. "Indeed. So, in your opinion, is there something wrong with Chenjia Village?"
Yu Qianli raised the corners of his lips and smiled meaningfully, seeming to be extremely interested.
"If these potatoes didn't grow in the mountains, but were cultivated by someone, then that person must be a rare talent. And..."
His eyes flickered slightly: "He must be a very powerful cultivator."
Yu Feiyang was startled and said after a while, "Potatoes were discovered by a woman named Xiao Ying. She was the one who took the initiative to promote them and let the villagers of Chenjia Village grow them."
"Because of this, I have even conferred upon her the rank of Ninth Rank Lady as a reward. Could this expert you are talking about be her?"
Yu Qianli said, "It's hard to say whether she is still the one who is the most powerful. Perhaps there is someone behind her. By the way, where are the two secret guards?"
"Do you suspect they are not telling the truth?"
Yu Feiyang frowned and immediately asked someone to bring the two secret guards.
The secret guard came quickly and found that Yu Qianli was also there. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous and both of them bowed and greeted each other.
"Don't be nervous." Yu Qianli seemed to see their uneasiness and said with a pleasant face, "Tell me everything you found in Chenjia Village in detail."
"Yes, young master."
The two secret guards did not dare to hide anything and immediately told everything they knew.
They had already reported these words to Yu Feiyang, and now they were even more familiar with them.
Yu Feiyang also asked someone to present the potatoes that the two brought back from the mountains, which indeed contained more spiritual energy.
Yu Qianli listened very carefully and remained calm from beginning to end. Only after the two of them finished speaking did his expression become a little serious.
"No, there's something wrong with what you said."
He suddenly stared into the two men's eyes without blinking, and the two secret guards immediately felt a chill down their spines and showed a bit of panic.
Yu Feiyang's eyes were burning with anger and his face darkened. Could it be that these two people really betrayed him?
