The Lord of Hongyuan City ordered people to arrange the most comfortable house for the tiger baby to rest, and then sent the village treasure to Baixi Village to check. Before leaving, he also privately told the village treasure some things. After dawn, he sent people again
When the recruiter came to see him, he actually knew in his heart that Yan Lingzhu had run away a long time ago and there was no way he could come to see him, but this was just a show.
It would probably take two days and one night for the village treasure to travel from Feihong City to Baixi Village and back. Huwa stayed in the city lord's mansion and noticed that the living habits here were different from other places.
When Huwa was in Lu Village, the tribesmen only ate one meal a day, and the tribesmen ate an astonishing amount. When food was in short supply, they might only eat one meal for several days, but they could eat a lot in one meal. When they arrived at Baixi Village, there
The villagers eat two meals a day, at sunrise and sunset, with a day's work in between.
But in this city lord's mansion, people eat breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, and the city lord handles affairs in the morning and afternoon, and eats and rests at noon. When Huwa lives here, the city lord must of course entertain him well, but this
The young gentleman said that he is practicing fasting recently, so I would like to bring you some tea.
So the city lord ordered people to serve tea every day and brought all the most precious tea sets in the house. And a national worker who lived in Feihong City, the Fifth Realm monk Xinlan, heard that another national worker was coming
Went to Feihong City, stayed at the city lord's mansion, and came to visit.
There are nearly fifty national workers in Xiangshi State, many of whom live near the capital, some hold various positions, and some work in the cave and rarely show up. Feihong City is so big, of course there are several people living within its jurisdiction.
A national worker. Among them, Xinlan is in the city. The monks have their own social circles that are different from ordinary people. Exchange visits are also a good communication and confirmation machine. Of course, it is normal for Xinlan to come after hearing the news.
.
However, Xinlan did not see Huwa, and did not even need to reply to Huwa himself. The Lord of Hongyuan City declined on his behalf. It is said that the young gentleman is meditating on the secret method and is in retreat, so it is temporarily inconvenient to see guests.
Why did you go to the city lord's mansion to understand the secret method? Although it is comfortable to live there, it is not a good place for retreat and cultivation. Xinlan is also confused. But after thinking about it, it is very likely that the city lord Hongyuan asked the national workers to help him refine it.
It was a precious artifact. Therefore, he could not be disturbed. Xinlan left with understanding and asked the Lord of the City to tell him his intention.
After two days and one night, the village treasure hurriedly returned to the city from Baixi Village. After dusk, he went to the city lord's mansion to report. Not only did he confirm what happened, but he also conveyed what the city lord had confessed to the current clan leader, Lingbao, between brothers.
Of course it's convenient to say anything.
Hongyuan City Lord brought the village treasure to the door of Huwa's residence and politely asked for an audience. Huwa replied in the house: "Lord City Lord, this is your home, I am just a guest, so why should I ask for an audience?
Come in!"
After entering the house, Hongyuan and the village treasure first bowed to Huwa and thanked him for his heroic action, which not only protected the villagers in Feihong City, but also eradicated the heinous criminals hiding in the city walls. After sitting down, Huwa
Wacai asked: "Captain Cunbao. You have met Lingbao. What did he say?"
The village treasure replied: "He told me everything. Starting from meeting you in Shuangliu Village Station. I also inspected the corpses of the bandits and the weapons they carried. As expected, they were the first military formation of Feihong City, and one
There are many people here. Lingbao is surprised and honored. He knew you had an extraordinary background, but he didn't expect you to be a distinguished national worker."
Huwa nodded and said: "Yes, none of them escaped, only Yan Lingzhu, who was behind the scenes, escaped. You didn't find out his whereabouts, right?"
The village treasure replied: "According to the investigation and inquiry, Yan Lingzhu crossed the Min River after leaving the city, and there is no news of his whereabouts. He may have fled to a distant place, or even not in the Xiangshi Kingdom... Mr. Xiao, I do have something.
This is a question. According to what you and Lingbao told, it cannot be confirmed that Yan Lingzhu is related to Nongneng. Even if there is suspicion, there is no evidence. Why did he order to intercept you and escape quietly? Isn’t this true?
Guilty!"
Huwa pondered: "If you were him, are you sure that you have not been exposed? And whether he has been exposed or not, as a military advisor, he will be taken down for questioning."
…
Nong Neng's original plan was to suddenly go into the mountains and change his clothes on the way to Shang'an Village, quickly cross the Baixi River upstream and rush to Baixi Village. He happened to show up at the time agreed upon with the Shanjiao tribe. After he succeeded, he quickly returned.
, still appeared from the original road, and rushed to Shang'an Village before dark, so that no one could detect it. This plan was originally flawless, but they failed to do it.
The military formation disappeared halfway for no reason and did not arrive at the next village at the expected time. After hearing the news, Yan Lingzhu realized that something was wrong and immediately left the city and rushed to Baixi Village. It was the morning after the snowfall when he arrived.
I didn't dare to get too close to the village, but I happened to see the villagers and monsters cleaning the battlefield from a high place in the distance, and the "rogue bandits" had obviously been wiped out.
Yan Lingzhu only knew that Nongneng's plan failed and the entire military formation was completely destroyed. At this time, the two sides had been fighting for three days and the identity of the military formation was completely exposed. In such a long time, it is entirely possible for Baixi Village to seize
The prisoner's interrogation revealed a lot of inside information. Ordinary sergeants may not know his connection with this matter, but the three leaders of the military formation did.
How dare Yan Lingzhu think that Baixi Village did not find out what happened to him, so he hurriedly returned to Shuangliu Village and ordered people to mobilize military formations to intercept the road. Then he hid in the middle of the road to spy, and found that Huwa had set off for the city alone.
Kuo, obviously going to report a message, so he ordered the army to intercept and kill him, while he ran back to the city, packed up his things and escaped.
If according to his order, Huwa was captured, and the news was sealed and escorted to the military formation to await his personal interrogation, I am afraid it will take longer to reveal the truth, and it may even have to wait until Baixi Village sends someone to the city wall to report the news.
At that time, he would have enough time to send his family away and leave calmly.
Yan Lingzhu didn't know, but Baixi Village didn't capture anyone alive for interrogation. The main reason was that the pig-headed men were too fierce. Even the injured bandits were found and killed on the spot. If he had done nothing, he might have just been dismissed from his post for investigation.
At most he would be exiled and guard the border for a few years; but if he did this, it would be the crime of annihilating his family.
But Yan Lingzhu had no time to think about it so much. Anyway, he had already packed up his valuables and ran away. As for Feihong City, even if there was a falling out, it had nothing to do with him.
…
Something must have happened to Yan Lingzhu, but what happened can only be guessed, because there was not a single survivor left in Baixi Village. As for how Nong Neng and others knew about the secret treasures of the Baixiying family, I am afraid they can only ask.
Yan Lingzhu. However, in the past few days, the Lord of Hongyuan City has not publicly ordered the arrest of Yan Lingzhu. Of course, he has his own reasons.
After entering the house, the village treasure has been talking, but Hongyuan City Lord has never said a word. After hearing this, Huwa nodded and asked: "You are just here to tell me this? Is there anything else?
?I have been living in Feihong City for these days, but I haven’t even left the door. If nothing happens, it’s time to say goodbye!”
The Lord of Hongyuan City quickly stood up and said, "Sir, wait a moment, I have something important to ask of you!"
He personally went out and brought the pot in, made tea for Huwa with his own hands, and followed behind him was a servant. The servant was carrying a plate, covered with golden velvet. The plate was not very big, but the servant looked a little struggling.
, put the things on the table and bowed out.
Huwa didn't reach out, and used the method of controlling objects to lift the velvet from the air. There was still a golden color underneath, but it was actually a plate of gold. Hong Yuan only heard Hong Yuan say respectfully: "The young gentleman is an expert outside the world, I'm afraid
I don’t look down on these vulgar things. But I am an ordinary person, and I only express my gratitude for everything you have done for Feihong City.”
Hongyuan is not a monk, and he has only been the city lord for two years. It is probably difficult for him to bring out magic weapons or heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Just a plate of gold is probably a waste of money. Gold is indeed too vulgar.
Yes, but it is both vulgar and elegant, and even an expert monk would not dislike it. Huwa also carries it with him, which is only a lot more than the plate sent by Hongyuan.
Huwa looked at the plate of gold and did not say whether to accept it or not. He looked into Hongyuan's eyes and said: "Sir City Lord, since you have something to do, please tell me."
Of course, Hong Yuan was not just here to give gold to Huwa, he said with some anxiety: "This matter is of great importance, and the city lord does not dare to make any independent decisions. He plans to send the captain of the village treasure to the capital to report it and ask the monarch for instructions on how to deal with it?
But before that, the city patrol formations and military divisions all disappeared for no reason, and we must give an explanation to the people in the city."
The damned ones are already dead, and those who want to escape have already escaped. What else can the monarch do with it? It's just how to make it public. Huwa asked again: "Report to the monarch, and wait for the monarch's edict to be issued to the city walls. It will take at least two days."
In a month’s time, what do you want the city lord to say?”
Hong Yuan replied: "I would like to announce for the time being that there were rogue bandits crossing the border with the intention of looting the village, and the military formation patrolling the city noticed the clues. When the military formation was chasing, they were ambushed by the rogue bandits. Fortunately, with the help of the martyrs of Xixi Village, the bandits were killed, but the army
Unfortunately, the entire army was wiped out."
Huwa just looked at Hongyuan but said nothing. This made Hongyuan feel a little unsure, and he explained in a low voice: "The most elite military formation in Feihong City was completely wiped out. How cruel it was.
Rogue bandits? How could such rogue bandits be wiped out by the villagers? This is really unreasonable.
But at that time, a national worker with great supernatural powers and superb cultivation happened to be passing by, and the righteous man Lingbao was visiting Baixi Village with several masters Beixi, Yunxi, and Shiyu, and the monster clan who came after hearing the news
With help, the ferocious bandits were eradicated, and Baixi Village also suffered a lot of casualties. With this statement, I can barely explain.
When Mr. Xiao entered the city, he displayed the tokens of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Many soldiers and civilians saw it with their own eyes. Of course you are here for this matter. Feihong City will publicly commend all the martyrs, care for the fallen support experts and the dead and injured villagers. I will send the village treasure captain
When I went to Baixi Village, I also discussed the matter with the villagers."
Huwa finally asked: "Oh, what did Baixi Village say?"
The village treasure quickly replied: "Lingbao summoned the villagers and the leader of the demon tribe to discuss, and they can understand why the city lord made such an announcement. They heard that Mr. Xiao turned out to be a leader of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and is currently living in the city lord's mansion.
He means that he will obey the little gentleman's instructions in everything, and as long as the little gentleman nods, everything will be fine."
