Yang Xuan stared at Song Qingyu for a while and suddenly said, "General Song, I have a question."
Song Qingyu didn't say anything and just stared coldly at Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan said to himself, "General Song, please explain why you didn't chase after Lin Tongfang when you saw him. Instead, you surrounded me here to stall for time."
Song Qingyu's eyes narrowed imperceptibly and said coldly, "When I came, Lin Tongfang had already escaped. Naturally, I caught you first."
A smile appeared at the corner of Yang Xuan's mouth. "General Song, I now have ample reason to suspect that you intentionally let the criminal Lin Tongfang escape, and that you were intentionally stalling for time, allowing the criminal to escape. I will report everything that happened here to my superiors."
Song Qingyu's eyes grew colder, "That's a good move, but no one will believe it. Come with me first. Are you going to rebel against the imperial court?"
With a thought, Yang Xuan smiled and extended his hands, saying, "General Song, please."
Song Qingyu was clearly stunned. He didn't expect Yang Xuan to give up so suddenly.
At this moment, another voice sounded.
"Who is it?"
Someone shouted in the night.
Song Qingyu's eyes flashed with a strange light. He walked up and put handcuffs on Yang Xuan's wrists.
Then, a group of people descended from the sky. Yang Xuan turned around and saw Cheng Qianfeng who sent him to the medical department.
Qianfeng brought a few dozen soldiers with him. When he landed and saw the scene, his face revealed a shocked expression.
"General Song, Master Li, what are you doing?" Qianfeng first saluted to Song Qingyu before asking.
Yang Xuan didn't say anything. Song Qingyu snorted and didn't answer. He turned around and left with Yang Xuan.
Qianfeng was rebuffed and stood to the side, embarrassed.
Of course, he didn't dare to interfere with the imperial guards. However, he asked Yang Xuan with his eyes.
When he passed by, Yang Xuan saw him looking at him in confusion. He smiled and shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
Song Qingyu brought Yang Xuan back to the medical department. After he was locked up, Jing Hu heard the news and rushed over.
"What happened?"
He looked at the imprisoned Yang Xuan and asked with a frown.
Song Qingyu wasn't here. There were only two imperial guards outside the room where Yang Xuan was locked up.
Yang Xuan told him what happened that night and then lowered his voice again, "Sir, I suspect that Song Qingyu is related to Lin Tong's plan."
Jing Hu didn't show any confusion. He frowned and stared at Yang Xuan. "First, tell me what you were doing in the forest in the middle of the night."
Yang Xuan's fingers twitched slightly as he took out the clump of Red Sky's hair from his pocket. Handing it over, he said, "Sir, as you know, I walk the path of cultivation. Cultivators have a method that allows them to use hair and other objects to roughly locate their owner. It was from this clump of hair that I sensed Lin Tongfang's location."
Jing Hu asked again, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Yang Xuan was silent for a moment. Then he said something that didn't seem to have anything to do with the topic.
"I don't want to be an alchemist for the rest of my life."
Jing Hu instantly understood that Yang Xuan wanted to use this opportunity to gain merit and then jump out of here.
This was human nature. There was nothing wrong with it. It was just that he was too eager for quick success.
Understanding this, Jing Hu let out a long sigh. Then he walked to the door and lightly tapped on the heavy door.
Yang Xuan saw clearly that Jing Hu had set up a soundproof barrier in the room.
"You're too rash."
Jing Hu sighed.
Seeing that Yang Xuan didn't understand, he let out another long sigh. Then he explained, "Do you know why the Imperial Guards intervened when Lin Tong went crazy and killed someone for the first time?"
Yang Xuan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Jing Hu continued, "The moment Lin Tong went crazy and killed someone, Song Qingyu suddenly appeared at the scene of the crime. At that time, I suspected that he had something to do with Lin Tong's madness. However, I didn't have any evidence, so I suppressed it."
After pausing for a moment, he continued, "After that, when we were conducting research on Lin Tong, Song Qingyu's behavior was very strange. He kept asking about the research progress, which made people suspicious."
Yang Xuan was slightly stunned. Could it be that this Song Qingyu really had something to do with Chi Kong's madness?
Jing Hu sighed. "You know what happened after that. Just as we were conducting research, news of the Rejuvenation Pill came. Thus, I went with the flow and asked Song Qingyu to invite you over."
At this point, Yang Xuan finally understood the cause and effect.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Sir, now that Song Qingyu insists that I have something to do with this case, what is he going to do?"
"It's not what he's going to do, but what he's already done," Jing Hu said. "He's already reported your name as soon as possible. The military will send someone to take you away soon."
Yang Xuan felt that it was strange. He asked, "This matter alarmed the military?"
"It's not this matter that alarmed the military, but your Rejuvenation Pill. They asked you to mass produce Rejuvenation Pills for the human race's military. As for Lin Tong's matter, it became a small matter, "Jing Hu explained.
There was such a thing?
Yang Xuan was slightly stunned.
However, there were some doubts.
Jing Hu had said before that the human race had medicine better than the Heavenly Qin Pill, but they didn't dare to refine it. Why did they want him to refine Rejuvenation Pills now?
When he asked this question, Jing Hu replied, "No one can guess the thoughts of those in power. The cabinet's attitude on this matter is ambiguous. I don't know what they want to do."
"Sir, what about Lin Tong's plan?" Yang Xuan asked.
"Don't worry about that. The people of my Medical Department can't be controlled by just anyone."
Jing Hu seemed to have a lot of power. On the second day, Yang Xuan was released.
Song Qingyu looked at Yang Xuan who walked out of the cell and said coldly, "Li Bai, if you know something, you'd better tell me."
Yang Xuan walked past him but didn't even pay him any attention. He just walked out of the cell.
Song Qingyu's eyes revealed an undetectable murderous intent, but it was hidden again.
After another two days, the people from the military finally came.
The one who led the way was still Cheng Qianfeng. He introduced him to Yang Xuan, "This is General Li Mie from the military."
The chubby Li Mie was full of smiles. He walked forward and took the initiative to shake Yang Xuan's hand. He laughed and said, "I didn't expect Master Li to be so young. You're indeed a hero."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Mie said, "Master Li, I'm sure Mr. Jing Hu has already explained why I'm here. I won't repeat it. In short, I still need Master Li's help to solve the military's urgent problem."
Jing Hu, who was standing at the side, smiled and said, "Don't worry, General Li. I've already made the arrangements."
"That's for the best." Li Mie smiled at Yang Xuan and said, "Your surname is Li, and so is mine. We're still from the same family. There's no need to be polite. If you need anything, just tell me."
Yang Xuan shook his head and said, "General, you're too polite. I'm alone. What kind of request would I have?"
"Hahaha, Master Li is indeed a straightforward person. Then I won't beat around the bush. Tomorrow morning, we'll leave for the military. Is that okay?"
"Of course." Yang Xuan nodded and smiled.
