Chapter 2164 Alone
"Nature is truly miraculous." The beauty exclaimed in amazement, but she did not dare to look at the toad a second time.
The toad itself is ugly, and its back is covered with small holes, which makes people feel trypophobic.
Shuang Ye slowly opened her eyes: "Do you think that they are so ugly that they shouldn't be born into this world?"
His tone was gentle, but the beauty shuddered for no reason. If she dared to say "yes", it seemed that disaster would come.
"No, no!" She quickly defended, "I was just thinking that not all tadpoles will turn into toads. If there are one or two that can't turn, what will happen to them in the end?"
She took a quick glance and saw that there were at least sixty or seventy holes on the back of the toad. It wouldn't be strange if it occasionally produced one or two offspring that could not grow up.
"That's a good question, a really good question." Shuang Ye stroked her delicate face with satisfaction, "Of course they can only die. They can't even control their own lives, so what do you think will be a good ending for them?"
How did the topic develop so strangely? The beauty regretted it. Why did she bring up these ugly things?
Fortunately, at this time, Shuang Ye sat up: "You go down."
"Yes." The beauty felt as if she had been pardoned. She put on her clothes, bowed to him, and quickly left, closing the door.
After she left the house, Shuangye grabbed a golden ring and casually tied up her hair.
When there was no one else in the room, Xi Yunhe bowed to him:
"Sir, are you looking for me?"
Xi Yunhe seldom dared to look up at him.
In terms of appearance alone, the Imperial Master was even prettier than the beauty who had just left in a hurry. Even with her hair dishevelled, she still had a kind of decadent beauty. But this kind of beauty was not lively, and it made people feel uneasy when they saw it.
Shuang Ye casually opened the secret drawer beside the couch and took out a crystal bottle from it and gave it to him:
"Send this to the Thousand Eyes Cave in the Nantao Islands."
There is a series of archipelagos on the sea surface at the southwest corner of Bega. The center of one of the large islands collapsed and was eroded by sea breeze and tides, forming a thousand-eye hole similar to the one on the back of this toad.
"Yes." Xi Yunhe took it and saw that there was dark red liquid in the bottle.
blood.
He was no longer surprised. Every once in a while, Master Shuangye would ask him to secretly deliver something to various places. Sometimes it was blood, sometimes it was materials, and sometimes he had no idea what it was.
Xi Yunhe had spent a long time in Qing Palace before and was quite knowledgeable, but the things Shuang Ye sent out always opened his eyes.
"After the stuff is delivered, you have to bring back the latest information about Ashmona."
"Yes." It turned out that the monster was sent to the Thousand Eyes Cave.
Ashmona was an important demon puppet transformed by Cao Wendao, the master of Honglu, and was captured by Bai Ziqi and sent back to Beijia. When it was brought back, Xi Yunhe saw it once.
That monster made of mud is actually a demon puppet?
"But Cao Wendao's most important work is not Ashmona, but a child named 'Xiao An', who is now in Dong Rui's hands."
Hearing this familiar name, Xi Yunhe was surprised: "Dong Rui? The owner of the snail toad?"
He had also dealt with Dong Rui before, and at that time he thought that this person was talented but eccentric, but he did not realize how important he was.
"This man has extraordinary attainments in demon puppets and has made amazing breakthroughs. However, the Heavenly Palace has never been able to catch him. The Nine Nether Emperor has hidden him very deeply." Imperial Master Shuangye glanced at him, "But you also know Dong Rui's weaknesses. Send a few capable people to Cangyan to find him."
"After finding him?" The Heavenly Palace will also send people to look for Dong Rui. Why would the Imperial Master go through the trouble twice?
But Xi Yunhe would only bury this doubt deep in his heart and would never ask it out loud.
"Don't worry about it after you find him. Just keep an eye on him. I guess the protection provided by Emperor Jiuyou is also very comprehensive. It is not easy for the Heavenly Palace to kidnap him. After Cangyan established the country, Emperor Jiuyou did not let Dong Rui come out to be an official. According to his temperament, he will only hide in a place in Jucheng and will not see the sun. He probably won't run around."
Xi Yunhe agreed.
Imperial Master Shuangye put on a Fire Cloud robe and sat behind the table. Xi Yunhe stepped forward and ground the ink for him.
The furnishings in this study are just like the robe worn by Imperial Master Shuangye, exquisite, intricate, and gorgeous.
There are many unique pieces that cannot be found anywhere else. Xi Yunhe glanced at it and saw a basin of green coral by the window.
"Green coral" is a plant on land, not in the sea. It is named so because it looks like coral, with thin, antler-like branches.
However, ordinary green corals are emerald green, but this one has light green, light white and even light pink stripes. These stripes are semi-transparent and have a jade-like texture, just like small windows rubbed out on jade.
Xi Yunhe knew that this was a brocade green coral. The so-called brocade actually meant a sudden and uncontrollable mutation.
Because it is uncontrollable, even for the same plant, the colors after variegation will be different.
Imperial Master Shuangye followed his gaze and glanced at Green Coral, then asked casually, "How are the green plums at Fenhe Laozhuang blooming?"
Xi Yunhe was startled.
He went to Laozhuang for personal purposes, not to carry out a mission or to do any work, but Master Shuangye knew his whereabouts very well.
"Only a few have bloomed, and most are still buds."
"Really? This kind of plum blossom is not easy to grow." Plum blossoms in the world range from white, light pink to blood red, but green is extremely rare.
Plants rarely have green flowers because they do not easily attract insects for pollination.
Therefore, the green plum tree in Laozhuang is also a unique piece.
Imperial Master Shuangye then asked, "Was it Qingyang's birthday the day before yesterday?"
"...Yes." Lao Zhuangcai had a tablet for Qingyang, and Xi Yunhe went over to burn incense for her.
Qingyang died in the Shining Gold Plain. Lao Zhuang had some of her belongings hidden away, so they erected a plaque with this in mind.
Xi Yunhe stayed in Laozhuang for most of the day, thinking about the past, but felt that life was like a dream.
For so many years, what kept him alive was hatred and the obsession to defeat Qingyang. But the moment he heard the news of Qingyang's death, he was not happy at all, but felt lost.
In Laozhuang, he drank all night.
This world suddenly became boring.
What was Qingyang thinking about at the moment of his death? He suddenly wanted to know.
But this question is destined to have no answer.
"Qingyang was very powerful when she was alive, but not many people would still burn incense for her after her death." Shuang Ye began to look through the documents on the desk, "You are one of the people who care about her."
Xi Yunhe sighed: "Qingyang has no children and is alone when he leaves. It's... a relief."
It is already extraordinary that people like them still remember to burn incense for them after their death.
Shuang Ye didn't even raise his head and said, "Who isn't?"
Xi Yunhe didn't want to mention Qingyang anymore, so he quickly changed the subject: "Sir, there's news from the north that Hong Chenglue has formed a legion in Tianyuan Mountain and has been training for more than half a year."
