Not long after Mu Qingyue and the others entered the city, in the evening of the same day, the news quickly spread throughout the entire Tianxiong Guancheng. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The principals of the major families and the Scattered Cultivation Alliance have held talks one after another, and they all have only one topic, that is, the imperial capital sent the princess of the prison country to Tianxiong Pass, what is the intention?

The families that have been entrenched in Tianxiong Pass for hundreds or even thousands of years know that in five months, the two great empires will launch various arrangements for their respective competition and preparation for the "Battle of the Crystal River" once in a hundred years.

Mu Qingyue came here at this time, ostensibly to train the 100,000 troops he had brought in, and to inspect the current situation of Tianxiong Guancheng.

However, the masters at the helm of these families have many years of experience, insight and other rich experience, and after years of hard work and tempering in order to develop their respective families, they have long refined a pair of experience and abilities such as insight into people's hearts, observing faces, not being surprised, and making decisions and predictions.

As for the reason why Mu Qingyue came here, they have their own decisions and understandings.

To the east of Tianxiong Guancheng, at the top of a high mountain, in this cloud-shrouded area, within a large hall. A man in a gorgeous robe sat on the main seat, he was about fifty years old, but those who were familiar with him knew that his actual age was nearly eighty.

In front of him stood seven or eight young cultivators, three of whom were nearly forty years old, and the rest were all young people under the age of thirty.

The faces of those standing there were solemn expressions! One of the oldest stood up and said:

"Patriarch, the princess of the prison country has arrived, just this afternoon. ”

This is the land of the Dongfang family, this family has been stationed in Tianxiong Guancheng for nearly a thousand years, and it also belongs to one of the six major families in the city.

The main purpose of this hall is to inquire about the news, and secretly monitor the situation of other families or Tianxiong Guancheng, according to whether these events are useful for the development and continuation of the family, and then see whether to report to the patriarch or the elder hall of the clan as appropriate.

"Patriarch, could it be that you are here at this time to investigate the disappearance of the city lord......? Another young man standing said. His name is Dongfang Zhong, and he is also a hall head, and he is the deputy hall master of the Dongfang Family Guard. But he didn't finish his sentence;

"Shut up, just by virtue of your identity, why do you know about the disappearance of the city lord? This should not come out of your mouth, although this is a place for our own clan to discuss matters.

But there are many people who talk a lot, and if one of the subordinates can't keep their mouths shut, and this word leaks out, it will have a huge impact on our family's continuous plan for nearly a hundred years. ”

Dongfang Qian, the patriarch of the Dongfang family, scolded.

"Yes, I was wrong, the patriarch can rest assured, I don't think I will make such a mistake again in the future. Dongfang Zhong asked Dongfang Chaoqian to scold, and then saw his sharp eyes constantly scanning his face, and hurriedly admitted his mistake.

"Well, it's good to recognize your mistake! You all have to remember that our family's plot is huge, and if you let the old man know which one came out of it?

Even if the old man doesn't clean him up, there will be other elders in the family who clean him up. Dongfang Qian said with a serious face.

He glanced at the people in the room, and then said, "Has the mine been cleaned up?" If the female official really came to investigate this matter, you should keep an eye on her whereabouts during this time.

If she does go to the mine to inspect the area, it proves that she is secretly here for this matter, and we need to be careful not to give away any clues. ”

"Patriarch, there was something wrong with that mining area before, after all, that person is not a vegetarian. The cultivation is very strong, and he has the means to save his life. Therefore, the scene is more messy, although it was cleaned up several times afterwards, it still left the hand tail;

It wasn't until four days ago that the authorities sent a small team over to let them find out, and we had to leave them forever, but fortunately they found out!

All the personnel in our hall have been thoroughly cleaned, and there is no way to leave any more traces now. This morning, the official sent a team again, and we asked them to take a closer look;

From what we have observed their expressions, and tested their attitudes, it is very likely that nothing has been discovered! At this time, they also went into the city to report, and news came from the dark line in our church.

They reported to their superiors that there was no finding any irregularity. ...... It's just!" Dongfang Ke reported, he saw the patriarch listening to his report, nodded again and again, and also relieved.

Knowing that the patriarch was still satisfied with the way they handled things. But in the end, there were some doubtful questions, and I didn't know whether he should ask them!

"Well, well done, just what? It's okay, the old man won't blame you for saying it. When Dongfang Qian heard this, he saw that he didn't say anything anymore and responded.

Dongfang Ke gritted his teeth, and then blurted out: "Patriarch, if that female official really came here for this matter and went there to inspect, did we do the same thing as we did with that lord?"

"Dudu ......!" Patriarch Dongfang Qianwen did not respond immediately, but stood up and paced, thinking about Dongfang Ke's question just now.

After a while, until a few people felt that the patriarch might not agree, he spit out two words from his mouth and said, "Do it!"

"Ah......h

Dongfang Qian returned to the main seat and took his seat, and continued: "However, this time I need to convene a meeting of elders, and invite two elders to sit there, if she or the people accompanying her have a backup at that time;

We also have enough strength to counteract, so that we will not give up all our efforts!"

......

Under the starry sky, in the main hall of the city lord's mansion, a pair of men and women sat on the balcony on the ground, Yunyu and Mu Qingyue.

The location is very high, so to speak, the highest point of this peak, sitting on the stone slab of the balcony facing south, you can see the endless mountains and rivers all around, and in the distance, there are still some lights flickering on the flat land or peaks.

Under the moonlight and starlight, the starry night beauty, coupled with the faint clouds and mist rising from the peaks, is really a beautiful day, and the scenery is infinite!

Since the city lord Nie Feng has been missing for seven days, this city lord's mansion has naturally become the residence of the princess Mu Qingyue, there are more than a dozen side halls here, and under the arrangement of the princess Mu Qingyue, Yun Yu and the five deputy commanders each live in a side hall.

At this time, it was Yun Yu who received an invitation from Mu Qingyue and invited him to come to the main hall to talk about it, but as soon as he entered the main hall, Mu Qingyue invited him to the balcony to say the above.

Mu Qingyue felt that there were some words that her father secretly explained to her true purpose of coming here, and she should tell Yun Yu the truth, after all, the only person she could trust now was Yun Yu.

The two of them traveled home for three months, sharing hardships and hardships along the way, accompanied by life and death. Yun Yu saved her life five times repeatedly, even if it was a Jedi or endangered his own life, he still did not abandon her, if such a person could not be trusted?

"Yunyu, what do you think of this city, is it better or worse than the scenery of the imperial capital?" asked Mu Qingyue.

"Well, this is the only city I've ever seen built thousands of peaks inside it. This kind of spectacular scene is indeed a miracle, which makes people feel shocked, and suddenly feel that manpower is better than the sky, only unexpected, nothing can be done.

Regarding the comparison between this city and Daliang City, I think there is no comparison, although this city has strange scenery, unique and beautiful, but unfortunately it is not a plain, and many things will be very inconvenient to do.

Elsewhere, Yunyue, I have some feelings today, based on what I have seen and heard, I seem to feel in my heart that my imperial dynasty's control over this city is not strong, I don't know how you feel?"

Yun Yu replied that although he didn't know what Mu Qingyue wanted to tell him when he came to him, as a friend and a person he trusted, he needed to remind Mu Qingyue of his impression of this city! This is also related to how Mu Qingyue should act and do things during this time.

"Well, Yunyu, you are indeed observant...... Alas, it's not peaceful here. To tell you the truth, I came to you tonight to communicate with you about the real purpose of my father's sending here.

This city is already a turbulent dark tide, since twenty years ago, the amount of spars handed over to the imperial dynasty in this city every year has decreased by half a percent compared with the previous year, and each city lord has not been able to serve a five-year term, and has not been re-elected.

My father has already noticed this situation, and there must be something strange in it! My father asked me to come to this city precisely to secretly investigate the truth and see if there are any problems in those families here. ”

Yun Yu looked at Mu Qingyue when he heard this, he didn't expect Mu Qingyue to tell him about such an important matter of the empire, which shows that Mu Qingyue also trusts him.

He thought for a moment and responded: "Qingyue, since your real purpose is this, then I think it is time to start with the investigation of the disappearance of this city lord, as long as it is found out who actually murdered this city lord."

Then the truth of the matter will soon become clear. ”

"Well, I think so too, but just now Commander Li Rong led the second group of people he sent to investigate the Nie Feng City Lord to report, but there was no problem!

We've just arrived in this city, and we don't know where to start, so what should we investigate?" said Mu Qingyue bitterly.

After a pause, she said, "Perhaps, we still need to visit the place where the city lord disappeared in person, maybe we will find something from it?"

"This line of thinking is correct, but, Qingyue, you are now the princess of a country, and you have led an army of 100,000 to this city, although it is said that it is to train the army and prepare for the battle to capture the crystal in five months.

But after all, you are the princess of the current Fuyang Empire, and whether you go out of the city to find a reason to train the team or other reasons, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at your every move.

Why don't you leave the investigation to me? I went to the mine alone to inspect it. Yun Yu suggested after thinking about it.

"Of course it's the best option, but I don't want to say yes to you. ...... Because of me, I won't let you be alone in danger!" Mu Qingyue quickly replied when she heard this, and after that, she suddenly lowered her head.

It turned out that she looked at Yunyu eagerly and replied, and when she thought about it, she felt that as a woman, she replied in such an urgency, and her expression was a little excited, as if she was showing her heart!

"This, Yunyue listen to me, you don't know it, at least my light body method is rarely comparable to anyone, if there is really an irresistible danger, I promise you that you will withdraw as soon as possible.

How about I let you report back to His Majesty the Emperor?" Although Yun Yu had not experienced this kind of situation before, he seemed to be aware that just as Mu Qingyue was concerned about not allowing him to take risks alone, his heart suddenly trembled! At this moment, it seemed that the hearts of the two people were very close.

In the end, Mu Qingyue couldn't twist Yun Yu and wanted to do this for her, so she went to secretly investigate the situation on her behalf, so she agreed, Yun Yu said goodbye and left, and he set off tomorrow to let Mu Qingyue speak to the outside world, he was visiting friends.
