The head of the Investigation Department has three captains and six deputy captains.

Without exception, these nine people are all top experts in the investigation department, so they are called "Nine Levels of Heavenly Pass". As the saying goes, "There are nine levels of Heavenly Passage, and you can reach the sky one step at a time."

"What's your weight level?"

Yuan Mingkong was a little stunned by Zhao Rang's question. After reacting, he smiled and said:

"These are all rumors among the people! Where did the Tianguan come from? Doesn't that mean he has become a god?"

The Shadow Guard comes and goes without a trace. As time goes by, people spread rumors that it is becoming more and more outrageous, and it is not much different from gods and ghosts.

Zhao Rang had long guessed that Yuan Mingkong's identity was not simple, but he still didn't expect that Yuan Mingkong turned out to be the Deputy Commander of the Shadow Guards of the Investigation Department!

"Why don't you talk anymore?"

Yuan Mingkong saw Zhao Rang pursed his lips and said nothing, so he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him.

"What about her? Is your sister also the vice-capital?"

Yuan Mingkong replied:

"She would like to be one, do you think she can do it?"

Zhao Rang said angrily:

"Why not? There are so many more people than you!"

Zhao Rang felt a little regretful... He felt that he should not have been too loyal and interfered in this matter.

There are no taboos in the Shadow Guard's work.

Even if he is a member of the Zhao family, if the shadow guards think he is in the way, they will definitely get rid of him mercilessly.

People who care about humanity cannot be a shadow guard at all. It can also be said that all shadow guards who care about humanity have already died long ago!

Zhao Rang calmed down, patted his cheeks with both hands, forced himself to put on an extremely flattering smile, and said to Yuan Mingkong:

"Brother!"

"No, sir! Lord Deputy Governor! Please give me a way to survive. When I come to the Western Regions, I just want to see more and open my eyes, but I don't want to risk my life!"

"Don't worry, sir! I will never reveal even a word of these things to anyone, not even my wife!"

Yuan Mingkong watched Zhao Rang's acting very calmly, but when he heard this last sentence, he couldn't help it anymore and laughed and cursed:

"How can you possibly have a wife if you're such a loser? Are you bringing this up to make a fuss?"

Zhao Rang put on a straight face and said very seriously:

"There is none now! But there will definitely be in the future!"

The implication is that you, Yuan Mingkong, can say that I have no future, but you can never say that I have no wife!

This is not something to be joked about casually.

If Yue Lao in the sky really listens to it, pulls his red thread, and fights for death, Zhao Rang will not know who he will cry to or scold at that time!

However, Yuan Mingkong still had more to say and continued to tease him:

"Yes, yes! Isn't there a spare one right in front of me?"

Yuan Ke knew that his brother was making fun of her, so he punched Yuan Mingkong on the back and said sweetly:

"Brother! What nonsense are you talking about..."

After saying that, he still blushed and glanced at Zhao Rang secretly.

Zhao Rang looked at him and immediately straightened his back and cleared his throat. He was truly a true gentleman who was calm and undisturbed!

The three of them joked for a while and felt a lot more relaxed.

Zhao Rang stopped pretending.

Although Yuan Mingkong's identity really shocked him, he didn't think much about it.

Because he believes that Yuan Mingkong is not the kind of person who burns down donkeys and crosses rivers.

This kind of trust is unwarranted.

If you ask Zhao Rang why, he probably won't be able to explain it, but he firmly believes it in his heart!

If we must find a reason for this, it is that these two people have become true friends after these incidents.

Friendship between men is so strange and sudden.

After a glass of wine and a good temper, two people can become friends.

This feeling is irreplaceable.

Love doesn’t work, and family affection doesn’t work either!

Because it is the purest, it is worth caring for and remembering with all your efforts.

So although Zhao Rang was afraid of the Chaji Division and the Shadow Guard, he was not afraid of Yuan Mingkong.

Just because in his heart, he already regards Yuan Mingkong as his friend!

Ever since he decided to come to Lanmo Country from the Merchant Alliance with the brothers and sisters, he had already made up his mind about this matter.

Seeing that Zhao Rang had returned to his normal form, Yuan Mingkong sat opposite him, stretched out his hand from his waist, and found a delicate small iron box in his hand.

This iron box is very familiar to Zhao Rang!

"Isn't this a map of the valley and surrounding areas?"

At that time, the news that Yuan Mingkong got was that the Admiralty Escort Bureau would bring 500,000 arrows for trading here, but now these arrows have disappeared. Zhao Rang didn't know that Yuan Mingkong took out this map again for a purpose.

do what.

"Shh!"

Yuan Mingkong put his right index finger in front of his mouth, making a silent gesture, which made Zhao Rang feel sick...

What he hates the most is that his friend is showing off!

Isn’t it good to speak openly about something?

You have to show off your ingenuity and act like you have everything under control.

The world is big, there are many people, and there are many things to do. Even if you are the Deputy Commander of the Shadow Guards of the Investigation Division, Zhao Rang does not believe that he can master them all. Unless Yuan Mingkong has the ability of clairvoyance and ears in the legends of immortals.

.

However, when Yuan Mingkong opened the iron box, Zhao Rang discovered that the iron box seemed a little different.

He saw that Yuan Mingkong was not familiar with this map at all, and it took him a full quarter of an hour to piece it together.

The way of viewing is exactly the same. You still use candlelight to shine through a hole smaller than the tip of a needle, letting the light and shadow fall on the table, forming a complete map from dots to lines.

Zhao Rang had seen the picture before. The topography outlined above was completely different from the one projected on the table now. They were two different places.

"This is where?"

Zhao Rang asked.

Yuan Mingkong asked Yuan Kexin to hold the candlestick, pointed to a mark north of the center, and asked:

"Do you know what this mark means?"

Zhao Rang shook his head.

He had never seen a map before.

Even when he leaves home and ventures out, the map is useless to him.

Anyway, we are going wherever we go, so we don’t care about the direction at all, so we just walk blindly. We really can’t find a place to eat or sleep. There is a mouth under the nose, so just open your mouth and ask people. Where do you need a map?

"This is the Gongchen tribe's big tent!"

Zhao Rang asked:

"Is that the tribe that the fourth prince is from?"

"Anzo!"

Yuan Mingkong added.

Zhao Rang leaned back.

The names of people from the Western Regions are too difficult to remember, and they are confusing.

I don't know much now, and I can barely remember it. If I stay here for a while longer, my brain will turn into a ball of mush.

"The big tent is his home?"

Yuan Mingkong smiled and said:

"You can also say that."

The father of the fourth prince Anzuo is the patriarch of the Gongchen tribe.

The tribal tent is the residence of the clan leader, which is equivalent to the "royal city" of the tribe.

Anzuo's father held an important position in the Lanmo Kingdom, so he basically lived in the royal city. Only Anzuo and his princess lived in the tribal tent.
