Ye Tianchen ate grapes carelessly. Although he did not sit as seriously as Nan Mingkong, he listened carefully.
"Perhaps one of them is the one behind the scenes now. I wonder where the other one is?"
Ye Tianchen asked the doubts in his heart.
Elder Wu's eyes flickered slightly and he asked instead of answering,
"How do you know the mastermind behind this is one of them?"
Ye Tianchen didn't expect Elder Wu to ask this question, so he spread his hands and said,
"Common sense infers, and you must know more than that."
After saying that, he did not forget to throw a grape into his mouth. He chewed it and took a sip of tea. He looked like a hungry wolf pouncing on food. He seemed really hungry.
Unexpectedly, Elder Wu stood up and said angrily,
"What a boy! How rude! I entertain you with good food and drinks, but you are so rude! Come on, let me see you off!"
The two people sitting were startled by the sudden roar.
Nan Mingkong stood up immediately and was about to explain, but the elder waved his sleeves away and completely ignored the two of them.
Looking at Elder Wu leaving, Nan Mingkong looked at Ye Tianchen with a look of hatred, and said accusingly,
"Ye Tianchen, you kid! Why are you so rude? We are here to find out the news! How come you don't know how to restrain yourself from the time you came in? Now you have angered Elder Wu. How can we continue to investigate?"
After speaking, he leaned weakly against the wooden door beside him and sighed.
He couldn't help but look at the horizon, thinking about that face, feeling a little uneasy.
These are troubled times, and I don’t know what’s going on with Miss Feng.
Ye Tianchen smiled instead of being angry and said, "This is a good thing, just wait. Sooner or later he will come to us again."
In Huancheng
After Feng Qingxue entered Huancheng, she wandered around the city for several days, but did not see Ye Tianchen and Nan Mingkong, which made her worried even more.
Moreover, there was a lot of discussion in the city. She walked forward, hiding among the crowd, and vaguely heard the various discussions...
"Did you hear that?"
One of the middle-aged men asked another man,
"What's all the fuss about?"
The person who was asked looked confused and replied.
"I heard that the city lord has been recruiting talented people recently!"
"What's the point? Aren't we always recruiting? My cousin's uncle's nephew is very capable and he was also recruited." He said and looked at the crowd proudly.
An aunt next to me shouted,
"Don't be too happy too early! The current city lord is no better than the old city lord. I heard that he is ferocious in appearance and extremely cruel. If your relative goes in, he may suffer, and he may not be able to come out!"
The man couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.
"No way! Don't talk nonsense! I saw him a few days ago."
"Hey! Why are I scaring you? I heard that all the people recruited by the city lord are sent to who knows where. They seem to be looking for something. My guy has been there for several months and there is no reply at all. So far, there is no reply at all.
Know whether it is life or death."
As he spoke, he groaned, reaching out and wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves.
The middle-aged man was very frightened.
"Then what should we do? My nephew just went in, will nothing happen?"
The other person shook his head, stretched out his hand to comfort him, then put his hand down and said,
"You'd better be mentally prepared!"
One of them looked into the distance and immediately returned to the crowd and shouted,
"Officers and soldiers are coming, disperse quickly and stop talking!"
The group of people immediately dispersed in all directions,
Feng Qingxue frowned secretly, it seemed that something was indeed wrong.
While thinking about it, I also walked towards the corner,
Suddenly a pair of hands grabbed her inside. She was about to reach out and punch her, but when she saw the person clearly, she stopped her hand.
"why you?"
The person who came was none other than her friend, Tan Ying.
Tan Ying looked around and then said to Feng Qingxue,
"It's not safe here, come with me."
After saying that, he pulled Feng Qingxue into a small alley.
After arriving at a deserted dilapidated house,
Feng Qingxue asked directly, "Why do you appear here? How dangerous it is here!"
Tan Ying stuck out her tongue, winked playfully and said, "I find it very exciting!"
Feng Qingxue expressed her helplessness. The girl in front of her was a girl she met during her travels. She had a very iconic appearance but a very out-of-the-box personality.
She has no interest in the little girl's rouge and gouache, and has no intention of practicing. She just likes to wander around the world and fight against injustices. She has a pair of extremely talented cultivation skills, which makes people jealous.
But the two haven't seen each other for many years.
I didn't expect to meet him here. I didn't even have to think about it. The purpose was the same as mine.
"How long have you been here? I haven't seen you in the city for the past few days. Have you found anything?"
Feng Qingxue walked to the side and sat down, just in time to rest.
Tan Ying also sat down on the open space next to Feng Qingxue and said excitedly,
"Big news, do you know who the current city lord is?"
Feng Qingxue looked confused and waited for Tan Ying's reply.
Tan Ying paused deliberately, and then said directly and clearly,
"It's Lezheng Yao."
Feng Qingxue was shocked and secretly sighed, how could it be him?
Tan Ying took a breath and said,
"But there seems to be something hidden in this. It stands to reason that he will not take over as the city lord here."
"I just don't know what happened a few months ago. He became the city lord overnight. The strangest thing is that no one has seen him since he took office."
Feng Qingxue was even more confused and asked,
"How could this happen? The lord of a city has never shown up? This is impossible, and so many strange things have happened recently, and the clues all point to this."
Tan Ying raised her eyebrows casually and said,
"That's all I'm investigating at the moment. You just happened to be here. I'm preparing for the next step. I'm afraid no one can help!"
After saying that, she glanced at Feng Qingxue meaningfully. Feng Qingxue was a little creeped out by her stare, and she always felt that nothing good had happened.
Tan Ying analyzed the key to the problem.
"Now the management inside the city is very orderly, but outside the city is very chaotic, but the city lord is nowhere to be seen. This is the biggest problem. So I want to attract the city lord to come forward."
After hearing this, Feng Qingxue frowned slightly and asked, "Then how do you plan to lure him out?"
She felt like the sun was shining brightly, as if the other party had dug a trap and was waiting for her to jump into.
Tan Ying sat upright, holding her chin with her hands, looking at Feng Qingxue dreamily, and then said, "Beauty trap."
Feng Qingxue almost spit out a mouthful of blood,
Without thinking, he refused directly and said, "You can go, but I won't go."
When Tan Ying heard this, she stood up directly and said,
He puffed up his cheeks and said angrily, "Beauty traps. How can a beautiful woman offer advice? I'm not as beautiful as you. Besides, I have other important responsibilities."
