Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1585 Golden Hairpin
The Anxiang Hall has always been in a dormant state. Perhaps this is the reason why they have been able to revive after several encirclement and suppression operations. The parts that were encircled and suppressed were just a few branches, and the roots of these guys were not found at all.

Just like the name suggests, you can smell the lingering fragrance but can't find the source.

However, no matter how secretive it is, this is an organization that cannot be seen in the light after all, and its scale cannot be compared with the situation of recruiting people in a high-profile manner.

Tang Lianyu is indeed important for transporting supplies to the front lines of the Ten Kingdoms in the Central Plains, but will the world stop functioning without her?
I don’t think so.

At most, the capacity will decrease and the scheduling will be worse, but it will not have a huge impact overall.

After all, the North is now fighting with the Ten Kingdoms of the Central Plains. It is not as simple as invading one or two countries. The supplies mobilized by the Ten Kingdoms of the Central Plains alone are enough to crush the people of the North.

From this perspective, Tang Lianyu's position as the transport captain is not as irreplaceable as imagined.

It's not surprising that the Anxiang Hall, which follows Beidi's orders, would come to hunt down Tang Lianyu. The main reason is that the huge amount of money they spent is definitely abnormal.

As I said just now, Anxiangtang cannot be too large, and they don't have so many people that they can waste them at will. Why did they deliberately set up a tight net and even started the fight directly in the city? Was their target just Tang Lianyu?

Li Chengxi doesn't understand Anxiangtang, but he knows how to do the math. This is a losing business no matter how you look at it. Since you have the manpower, you might as well block the transportation lines.

Therefore, Li Chengxi felt that since Anxiangtang was putting so much effort into hunting down Tang Lianyu, there must be other reasons behind it.

As for what?

Why not just ask?

"Go ask Tang Lianyu. I always feel like there's something else going on."

Since the cave was big enough, although there was not enough personal space, I could find a corner and talk to Yang Yiyi quietly without anyone noticing.

Yang Yiyi was a little hesitant when she heard this:

"Brother Li, don't you want to help Miss Tang?"

"Don't think too much, it's not happening."

Although Li Chengxi always told Yang Yiyi that she had to be careful with Tang Lianyu and not let him be used as a gun, in fact, Tang Lianyu had never cheated Yang Yiyi and always acted in a win-win manner.

To be honest, Li Chengxi still has a certain affection for Tang Lianyu, but...

If things with her are too tricky, don't blame us for retreating.

Li Chengxi also didn't want Yang Yiyi to get involved in anything too troublesome. After all, it's easy to get into the game but hard to get out. If things go wrong, it might be the saint Li Chengxi who descends in the end.

After hearing what Li Chengxi said, Yang Yiyi didn't think much about it and returned to the campfire.

Tang Lianyu and her two maids were shivering by the campfire. They had the weakest physical strength here; others had recovered, but they hadn't.

Qin Yan handed a bowl of soup to Tang Lianyu, which made their faces look better.

Yang Yiyi sat down next to him and was about to ask, but she forgot what Li Chengxi had asked her to say just now.

After all, Li Chengxi explained the meaning of every sentence he said, and the amount of information was too much, so Yang Yiyi didn't remember the beginning.

"Ms. Tang, the Anxiang Hall is not just chasing you because you are arranging transportation, right?"

Li Chengxi, who was watching in front of the screen, slapped his forehead when he saw this and thought, I forgot everything I had just taught you.

The original plan was to test it in a tactful way first. With Tang Lianyu's brain, of course she could tell it was a test, and then lead it out later.

Who knew that Yang Yiyi would ask directly as she came up, as rude as ever.

But it’s true, although this question is a bit harsh, Tang Lianyu actually prefers Yang Yiyi’s straightforward temper.

Upon hearing this, she put down the hot soup and said:
"I don't have a deep connection with Anxiangtang, and I thought no one should know about it, but now it seems that I can no longer hide it."

Tang Lianyu took out a golden hairpin from her bosom. At first glance, the hairpin looked no different from those sold in jewelry stores, except that it was decorated with the common phoenix wing pattern. However, if you stared at it closely, you would feel that the phoenix wings were alive and moved from time to time.

"Miss Yang, you know that I was the one who handled the affairs of the Thousand-Faced Fierce Phoenix, and that's when you entrusted me with this golden hairpin." Wu Shaoyi looked at it and said in confusion:

"What is the meaning of this golden hairpin?"

At that time, Wu Shaoyi didn't know Yang Yiyi yet. The person on the boat with her was Qin Yan, but Qin Yan didn't know these details.

Tang Lianyu shook her head slightly:
“The Thousand-Faced Fierce Phoenix didn’t say much, only asking me to keep it carefully. He said that this item is very important and must not fall into the hands of the people in the north, so I always carry it with me.”

"Can you watch it with me?"

"If Lady Qin wants to see it, then of course you can."

Tang Lianyu handed the hairpin to Qin Yan, and then said:

"The Thousand-Faced Fierce Phoenix was the chief leader of the Anxiang Hall when he was alive. Maybe this hairpin is some kind of token of the Anxiang Hall, so they put so much effort into it."

One of the reasons why the Anxiang Hall has always been difficult to eradicate is that their structure is particularly loose, and they only recognize objects of trust rather than people, and they don’t even know much about each other.

Perhaps this golden hairpin is really an extremely important token within Anxiangtang. If I know how to contact them, I might be able to use the golden hairpin to make Anxiangtang work for me.

But then again, the only one who knew where the Thousand Faces Ferocious Phoenix died in the end was Tang Lianyu. Yang Yiyi only knew that she scattered the Thousand Faces Ferocious Phoenix's ashes into the water.

When Tang Lianyu was helping Thousand Faced Fierce Phoenix deal with his aftermath, he must have brought someone he trusted with him.

It doesn't seem like the news came from her.

So, who else knows the whereabouts of the Thousand-Faced Evil Phoenix?

The image of a crazy, sloppy bald monk suddenly popped up in Li Chengxi's mind. Damn, could it be the fault of the crazy monk Du Chun?
While thinking about this, Qin Yan said:
"This thing looks like a gold hairpin, but it's actually very delicate. From what I can see, it looks more like a key."

After all, he is a big thief and is very sensitive to this.

She was not wrong, it was indeed a key. Li Chengxi saw it written on the item's attributes, but it did not specify what lock it opened.

Qin Yan returned the golden hairpin to Tang Lianyu:

"Didn't the Thousand-Faced Fierce Phoenix mention this before he died?"

"He didn't mention what the golden hairpin was. Before he died, Qianmian Xiongfeng was unconscious for more than a day and said a lot of nonsense. I don't remember it clearly."

Tang Lianyu frowned, recalling what the Thousand-Faced Fierce Phoenix had said.

Everyone was waiting for Tang Lianyu to reply, but as they were waiting, Tang Lianyu suddenly tilted his body and fell to the ground without any warning.

This scared everyone. Could it be that he caught a cold because of the rain and excessive physical exertion?

Just when he was about to help Tang Lianyu up, the two maids behind her also fell down.

At this time, Yang Yiyi sniffed and said:
"Why do I smell something sweet?"

"not good!"

Qin Yan, who was standing next to Tang Lianyu, suddenly felt dizzy and couldn't stand up.

Hearing Qin Yan's voice, the heroes of the Sixteen Villages wanted to get up and check, but no one could stand up. For a moment, it was as if all their bones were pulled out.

Wu Shaoyi wanted to pick up the flute next to the wheelchair, but it was extremely difficult to raise his hand and he had no strength at all.

Only Yang Yiyi looked at this group of people transformed into Lin Daiyu with a confused look on her face.

What's wrong with you guys?
