Chapter 360: A Good Son for His Mother
Si Linglong had never wanted the system to appear so much.
After all, the coincidences of various cliff jumping incidents on this day really made her think too much.
[Is the plot completely broken? ]
[Since Helian Tuo and I failed to jump off the cliff, we're asking Wu Lie and my sister Quan to jump? Does the plot stipulate that someone must jump off the cliff today? ]
【You must be crazy.】
Helian Yue looked at Si Linglong subconsciously, frowning slightly.
She and Helian Tuo even jumped off a cliff?
This thought only flashed through his mind and was quickly put behind him. What was more important at the moment was the matter between Wu Lie and Concubine Quan.
Even though he knew that Gu Qingquan would be fine with Wu Lie around, Helian Yue still couldn't help but frown.
"How long will it take for the Xiangliu Army to arrive?" Helian Yue asked in a deep voice.
Huo Shan said, "About one hour."
Helian Yue nodded and made his own arrangements, "First send out a team to search and rescue, and when the Xiangliu Army arrives, send them to search together with the Imperial Guards. The Xiangliu Army is familiar with the surrounding terrain and is more suitable for finding people. We must find Concubine Quan and her companions before dark."
Huo Shan immediately took the order and withdrew.
Helian Yue then looked at Yuan Zun again and raised his hand to signal, "Master, please continue."
The mastermind behind the assassination has not yet been identified, and Helian Yue must find out the chips in the opponent's hand as soon as possible.
This drum is obviously a troublesome thing.
Yuan Zun knew that Helian Yue was not interested in pursuing other matters at the moment, so he did not beat around the bush and spoke directly.
"Ancient books once recorded a small beast called a wind beetle. It looks like a marten, but its body is green. Its skin is as tough as a leather bag. It cannot be killed by fire or cut by a knife. The leather drum made of the skin of this wind beetle has the ability to cause livestock to fall into chaos and lose control when it is struck. I also vaguely heard the drum sound and the chaos at that time, so I thought of this thing."
Yuan Zun paused when he said this, and suddenly looked at Si Linglong, with a clear and bright feeling in his eyes.
"Perhaps Concubine Lang Gui has heard of it."
Si Linglong was suddenly called out, and she was still a little dazed. Facing Yuan Zun's gaze that seemed to see through everything, she waved her hands subconsciously, "No, I haven't heard of it either. There is actually such a magical mink!"
[Nima, I actually heard Brother Ba talk about this mink! ]
Helian Yue: ...
So who is Brother Ba?
But obviously, this is not the place to question that.
Then I listened to Si Linglong's explanation in her heart.
[The wind beetle, also known as the wind-born beast, is so tough that ordinary people cannot kill it. Even if it is killed, it can be revived again as long as the wind enters its mouth.]
Si Linglong thought about it and subconsciously looked at the leather drum in Helian Yue's hand.
[Although I don't know how this thing is handled, it's obviously not safe to keep it with Ah Yue.]
It's even a little dangerous.
Si Linglong was just trying to figure out how to get A Yue to seal the item so it wouldn't get exposed to the wind when she heard Yuan Zun say, "Since this item has fallen into the hands of the emperor, it's fate. However, the drum made of wind-beater beetles is known to have evil properties. If the emperor wants to preserve this item, it's best to find calamus and wrap the drum carefully with kraft paper, and keep it out of the wind."
Upon hearing this, Si Linglong almost gave Yuan Zun a thumbs up.
He turned his head and looked at Helian Yue, his eyes full of earnestness.
【Quick, listen to him! 】
Helian Yue was a little amused, but since Si Linglong knew about this, he naturally believed her words.
"Just do as Master Yuanzun said." Helian Yue said, turning his head to signal Futai to make the arrangements.
Si Linglong heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this. She looked straight at Helian Yue with her almond-shaped eyes filled with relief.
Helian Yue exchanged a glance with her and was about to comfort her with his eyes, but he heard someone sighing with relief in his heart.
[As expected of a good son, you are really obedient. 】
The corner of Helian Yue's mouth twitched violently.
Then, with a blank expression on his face, he exerted force on his hands, imagining that the drum in his hand was someone's face.
He looked as if he wanted to crush the drum in his hand.
