Qi Ning smiled and said, "This is just my personal guess. After all, the King of Shu is a local snake in Xichuan. When he surrendered Da Chu, he was afraid that he would never give up."

Yifu said: "But I heard that over the years, the King of Shu rarely left the city, and he ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name, hoping to clear away the killings of the past."

"Oh?" Qi Ningqi said: "There is such a thing?"

Yifu nodded and said, "I have heard from others, and said that the King of Shu has donated and built several temples over the years and often gives alms to poor people." He sneered, "It's just that his son Li Yuan is not a good thing, and he often bullies others by virtue."

Qi Ning smiled and said, "Your Heiyanling is some distance away from Chengdu City. Even you know that King Shu eats vegetarian food and chants Buddha's name. It seems that his publicity work is doing well?"

"publicity?"

Qi Ning said: "If he really wants to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name, why should he spread it everywhere? It's a big deal? I'm afraid he did this on purpose to cover up his eyes."

"Cover your eyes and ears?" Eve whispered, "Why do you say that?"

"Yif, you should know that our King of Shu was the local emperor of Xichuan back then. In order to dominate Xichuan, he met with Chu State." Qi Ning said: "The old Marquis of Jinyi led his troops to attack Shu, breaking through the pass and killing generals, and approaching the city of Chengdu. If the Northern Han people had not moved in the north, Chengdu City would have been broken. Li Hongxin's head would have been hung on the top of the city many years ago."

Qi Ning naturally knows the grudges between Jinyi Qi's family and Shu King Li's family.

Back then, the old Marquis of Jinyi led a 100,000 army to attack Shu. King Li Hongxin of Shu dispatched troops and generals to compete with the Chu army, which indeed caused the Chu army to lose troops and generals.

However, the strength of the Chu army was eventually higher than that of the Shu army. In addition, the old Marquis of Jinyi was a famous general in the world. In the end, the Chu army came to the city of Chengdu. It was at that time that the Northern Han people suddenly sent troops south, but Li Hongxin seized the opportunity and took the initiative to surrender.

Qi Ning had to admit that the time for Li Hongxin to surrender to the court was just right.

If we continue to resist stubbornly, the Chu court decided to take down Xichuan first, wipe out Li Hongxin and then mobilize troops to face the enemy north. However, in this case, we will have to bear great risks. Once the northern line is difficult to resist the Northern Han people's troops, it is probably too late to transfer troops from Xichuan.

However, Li Hongxin's voluntary surrender was something that Chu State could not seek. Under that situation, Chu State naturally tried its best to satisfy the conditions for surrender proposed by the King of Shu.

It is also because of this that over the years, King of Shu Li Hongxin of Shu still has a profound influence in Xichuan, and many local officials in Xichuan are still the King of Shu.

Qi Ning always felt that it would be unreasonable to say that Li Hongxin had really completely surrendered to the State of Chu.

Li Hongxin was obviously a master who was very good at seizing opportunities. The late emperor passed away and the new king succeeded to the throne. The political situation of the court was not stable. In this case, Xichuan suddenly changed, so Qi Ning was naturally the first to think of having something to do with the King of Shu.

But this time, a treasure-knowing suddenly popped up, which made Qi Ning wonder. He thought that the treasure-knowing boy was a Ksitigarbha, so who was Di Ksitigarbha? Is he related to the King of Shu Li Hongxin? Di Ksitigarbha had already extended his tentacles to the old house of Qi family, which was really incredible. This time, he started to make a "wave" in Xichuan. If he really had a party with the King of Shu, it could be explained. But if Di Ksitigarbha had nothing to do with the King of Shu, then where did this force arise?

Yifu naturally didn't know how deep Qi Ning thought.

Qi Ning arrived at Heiyanling in time. Bai Tangling was in danger. Bayeri followed Qi Ning's instructions and hid Bai Tangling to beware of the assassins infiltrating the mountains again.

In the next two days, Qi Ning, accompanied by Yifu, wandered around Heiyanling for two days.

Qi Ning knew that the current priority was to solve the Black Rock ‘Cave’ incident first. As long as Wei Shutong arrived at Heiyanling and brought out Bai Tangling himself, the matter would be solved.

After waiting for another day, he still couldn't see any news from the foot of the mountain. Qi Ning was wondering if he wanted to go down the mountain when he suddenly saw someone coming over and saluted: "Mr. Marquis, the Lord of the Cave asked Marquis to go there, and I would like to report if you have anything to do."

When Qi Ning arrived in Bayerli's house, he saw Bayerli and Ifu waiting. Baiyali was also present. When he saw Qi Ning coming, the three of them saluted. Bayerli said with a solemn expression: "Marrior, someone has sent a box at the foot of the mountain, saying it was a gift for us from the Black Rock 'hole'. We have not opened it yet. Please come and discuss it."

"Box?" Qi Ning was stunned. At this time, he had already discovered that there was a small wooden box with exquisite workmanship on the table. He was locked with a lock and said in confusion: "Who sent someone to deliver it?"

Bayer said: "The other party said that it was the prince of Shu who sent someone to send him."

"Criminal Prince of Shu?" Qi Ning immediately remembered Li Yuan, the prince of Shu who had had a conflict with him in the capital. He felt something was wrong in his heart and asked, "Why did he send someone to send this box?"

Bayerli explained: "They sent a man to deliver the wooden box to the foot of the mountain, and then told it was a gift from the prince of Shu, and there was no other word."

Qi Ning nodded slightly and said, "Open and see what it is."

Bayerli did not hesitate. The box was locked, but there was no key. He could only pry it open with a knife. After prying open the iron lock, Bayerli opened the wooden box. Everyone saw that it was covered with yellow silk. But the moment the box opened, a stench spread. The smell rushed into his nose. Qi Ning almost vomited. The people present covered their noses.

Bayerli covered his nose with one hand, obviously he was wary. He used the tip of a knife to pick the yellow silk. When the yellow silk was picked out for a moment, Eve exclaimed in an exclaim, and the other people also changed their color. He saw a head in the wooden box, with blood and flesh blurred, and several parts were already festered, but the general appearance could still be seen clearly.

"Yagan..." Bayerli exclaimed: "Yagan..."

At this time, Qi Ning also vaguely identified the head inside. The Miao man Yagan who had seen that rainy night. Yagan and several Miao people followed Yifu to break through the siege and were chased by people all the way. Yuye was chased by two "medicine" corpses under Bai Monkey, and the group scattered.

Although Qi Ning was separated from Qi Feng and others, Yifu was also separated from Yagan and others.

But I never expected that the wooden box I sent was filled with Yagan's head.

Bayerli was both shocked and angry. Ifu also saw it at this time. His delicate body trembled, his silver teeth bit, and he suddenly turned around and was about to leave. Qi Ning immediately stopped him. Ifu said angrily: "Do away!"

"Where are you going?" Qi Ning looked cold.

"I want to kill Li Yuan." Yifu's face was pale, and a fire of hatred burst out from her beautiful eyes: "I want to cut Li Yuan into pieces so that he will die without a place to bury him."

Qi Ning said in a deep voice: "Then do you know that this is exactly what the other party wants you to do. At this time, why would Li Yuan send someone to send Yagan's head?"

"I don't care." Efu's eyes were red: "If you don't kill him, Yagan will not be at peace even if he dies."

Qi Ning said, "Yifu, I can understand your mood, but listen to me that Li Yuan sent someone to send his head to make the Black Rock ‘hole’ lose his mind and make you lose your sense of being angry." He put his hands on Yifu's shoulders, stared at Yifu, and said, "Do you believe me?"

"I...!" Yifu's tears rolled down, and her silver teeth clenched. Seeing that Qi Ning stared at him, he finally nodded.

Qi Ning said: "Okay, if you believe me, everything will be followed by my arrangements. I promise you that I will help you get Li Yuan's 'sex' life, and he will definitely suffer the consequences."

"But......!"

"Take a deep breath and calm down." Qi Ning said solemnly: "We cannot let the efforts of the entire Black Rock 'Cave" go to waste because of a moment of anger. Yagan's death will not be the end, but it will only be the beginning. I promise you that you will repay this debt from Li Yuan, and you will definitely not go back on your word."

Ef stomped her feet, turned around and sat on the chair, and cried at the desk.

Qi Ning sighed, looked at Bayerli, whose face was twisted due to anger, and said in a deep voice: "Master of the Cave, you are the Cave of the Black Rock Cave, and there are thousands of lives hanging under your hands. What should I do? I won't tell you, you understand."

Bayerli nodded slightly: "Don't worry, Marquis, I know I can't be impulsive, but we will never forget this blood debt." He punched the table with a loud bang, and the wooden table was almost smashed by him.

When Yagan died tragically, Bayerli and Yifu were naturally sad. Fortunately, Qi Ning comforted her and resisted the impulse.

Bayerli asked Yagan's head to clean up. In order to prevent the people in the village from falling into chaos because of the matter, he just ordered people to secretly bury the head first.

The next evening, Qi Ning finally received the book of arrows sent from the foot of the mountain.

The officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain 'fired' arrows and shot a letter up the mountain. Bayerli received the letter and immediately passed it over to Qi Ning. Qi Ning opened the letter and found out that Wei Shutong had already arrived at the bottom of Heiyan Ridge day and night.

Qi Ning ordered Bayerli to prepare overnight. The next morning, Qi Ning led his group to the narrow mountain road that had been up the mountain before, and left the mountain. From a distance, he saw a group of people waiting at the foot of the mountain. In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, Qi Ning ignored Bayerli and Ifu's persuasion and came down the mountain alone.

The banner was waving, and I saw the commander Yue Qianliang who I had seen last time waiting in front. Seeing Qi Ning, Yue Qianliang turned around and entered the crowd. Soon, Qi Ning saw an official wearing an official robe snatching it out of the crowd. He did not stop. He was surrounded by several guards such as Yue Qianliang, and quickly came to Qi Ning.

There were still seven or eight steps away, and both sides stopped. Qi Ning looked at the official, who was in his early fifties and looked quite tired, but he thought he had come from Chengdu City day and night. It was too hard. He smiled faintly and asked, "Are you the governor of Xichuan Wei Shutong?" He raised his hand and showed off the imperial gold medal and said, "According to the emperor's will, we will investigate the Black Rock 'Cave' incident!"

When the official saw the gold medal, he immediately stepped forward two steps, knelt down on the ground, and said respectfully: "The governor of Xichuan Wei Shutong, pay homage to the Marquis!"

Qi Ning raised his hand and said, "Please get up, Lord Wei!"

Wei Shutong got up, and Qi Ning took two steps forward and smiled and said, "Mr. Wei has been rushing on the road day and night, and it has been hard all the way, faster than I thought."

Wei Shutong bowed and said, "I don't know that the marquis is here and the subordinates are unable to greet you. I also ask the marquis to punish you!"

"Those who don't know are not guilty. I have never thought of making a big fuss when I visited Xichuan." Qi Ning put away the token and opened the door and said to the mountain: "Mr. Wei, I heard that the reason why you sent troops to siege Heiyanling is because Heiyanling killed officials and resisted the tax. I wonder if it is right or not?"

"Reporting to the Marquis, the Heiyan 'dong' killed Danba County Magistrate Bai Tangling and his officers, it was like a rebellion. The subordinate officials sent someone to summon him to state his crime, but this person disobeyed and refused to obey. The subordinate officials were helpless and could only dispatch troops to quell the 'disturbance'." Wei Shutong said respectfully: "Strike the court and the Marquis must go to Xichuan in person, which is the subordinate officials who have dereliction of duty!"

Qi Ning said: "But the owner of Heiyan's 'Cat' sent someone to send you a letter, telling you that Bai Tangling is not dead. Don't you know?"
