Fangyuan City is a little less noisy than in the past, and a little more waiting. Whether it was the boatman on the ship or the woman leaning on the window of the tall building, they all looked in the same direction, it was rumored that a new official would take over Fangyuan City today, and ordinary people who had nothing to do wanted to take a look.

From far to near, a fleet of ships slowly sailed towards Fangyuan City. Directly in front of the fleet was a six-zhang ship, three stories high, with an extremely deep draft, which could be called a behemoth. There were three people standing at the bow of the boat, and Zhao Xincheng was standing at the front, with a black gauze hat, a regimental collar shirt, and a plain silver belt, looking radiant. After that, they stood with the same acquaintance and the general judge, both wearing orthodox official uniforms, majestic.

Everywhere the fleet went, people stopped what they were doing, looked sideways at Zhao Xincheng and the three of them on the fleet, and didn't exclaim or discuss, just watched.

Instead of a joyful atmosphere, the lake exudes an eerie quiet.

Zhao Xincheng was also aware of it, and quietly observed the people around him, hoping to find some problems from it. Reading the books of the sages, there are often sages who find problems from the appearance, so that they can calmly solve problems, and even save the people and the country. Zhao Xincheng also hoped so, at least he felt that he could judge the appearance of Fangyuan City from the appearance. In reality, however, he saw nothing.

After looking at it in a daze for more than half an hour, Zhao Xincheng's boat was able to dock here.

"Captain Xu Ji, welcome the prefect!" Xu Ji, who had changed into a military attache uniform, greeted him at the dock early, and bowed his head at this time. Since receiving the instruction, he can be said to be busy in the past few days, and there are still too many things that have not been done at this time, and he is particularly anxious in his heart.

Zhao Xincheng got off the boat, looked at Xu Ji, and asked, "You are Lord Xu Ji?"

"It's Xia Guan. ”

"Go to the yamen first, and you can tell me about the affairs of Fangyuan City one by one. ”

"Your Excellency, please!" Xu Ji led the way in front, and Zhao Xincheng strode forward.

Even if there was a gong to open the way, the people on the street didn't care, they didn't have the slightest intention of dodging, and they were knocked away by the officers and soldiers, and they were also cold-eyed. Only a few ordinary people looked up, but there was not much awe in their eyes.

Zhao Xincheng walked on the street, feeling that he was no different from ordinary people, and he didn't feel like a prefect at all.

The majesty of the official was trampled on.

When he arrived at the so-called "Yamen", Zhao Xincheng's face was already ugly. The trip did not establish the majesty he had expected to be, and the people looked at him as if he were nothing. As soon as he arrived in Fangyuan City, he was despised by everyone, and his stomach naturally had a fire that had nowhere to vent. And when he looked up at the "Yamen" in front of him, his face turned even bluer.

There are six gates, a huge courtyard, in front of me is a six-story old building, crooked, if it were not for a few horizontal locks pulled with the giant wood, I am afraid it would have already fallen.

Bang!

Upstairs, a window was suddenly blown down by the wind, and it shattered on the ground.

"Be bold and bold, let you arrange Fang Yuan Mansion, you are fooling around with such a dangerous building! If there is a loss, can you afford it?" Without Zhao Xincheng to say, the general judge shouted angrily. I have always been accustomed to living in the dance pavilion and song platform in Tiandu, and when I came to such a dilapidated building, all the officials accompanying me were dissatisfied.

Xu Ji said helplessly: "This is already the best place to live for the lower authorities. Fangyuan City is just a small place, but it is crowded with 100,000 people, except for the uninhabitable land, the per capita is only three feet, and the land price is so high that it is even above the heavenly capital. The lord asked the lower officials to make a Fangyuan Mansion with a land of ten acres, not that the lower officials did not do it, but that they really couldn't do it......"

"Not only did he fail to fulfill his orders, but he also found so many reasons! Did the official come to listen to your reasons? Everyone has a reason, how should the decree be passed? You are guilty of dereliction of duty! This official must carefully check the taxes of the Fang Yuan Mansion to see how much of it has gone into your pocket! He can't even provide a prescription for the Yuan Mansion. The judge rebuked loudly.

Xu Ji sighed, there was nothing more to say.

Zhao Xincheng was angry in his heart, but he couldn't find a reason to vent, after all, as a prefect, he still reminded himself to be a little generous, he glanced at Xu Ji, and walked towards the six-story old building.

Zheng!

Suddenly, an arrow struck at such speed that it was impossible for the naked eye to catch it!

Xu Ji's eyes were abrupt, he flew away, grabbed the tail of the arrow, and pulled it hard, although it did not stop it, it also affected its trajectory.

Snort –

Rumble!

The arrow flew past Zhao Xincheng's neck, and the strong wind it carried was like a stone falling hard, directly smashing Zhao Xincheng out. And the arrow, which did not hit the target, also pierced the six-story old building through a huge hole. The old building, which was already crumbling, began to lean to one side after letting out a wail. Only then did the accompanying Imperial Forest Army react and quickly set up a formation to protect the officials.

The officials around were all frightened, especially when they saw that the six-story old building was about to smash towards them, they immediately shouted and ran in a panic.

Xu rushed forward, came to the beam pierced by the arrow, shouted angrily, and pushed the beam up with both hands. The weight of the entire building weighed on him, and it was difficult to hold it even when he saw the mountains.

Boom!

The iron lock that was originally pulling the old building broke, implicating a large number of doors and windows and smashing down, hitting several people, making everyone even more panicked.

"Liuzi!" Xu Ji shouted.

Suddenly, a thin man rolled to Xu Ji's feet, his hands quickly pinched, and with a pull on the ground, a stone wall rose with it, and Xu Ji resisted the girder together.

"It's not enough!"

The man known as the Six Sons pinched his hands and pulled up a stone wall, but there was no more blood on his face, and he immediately fainted. Xu Jicai let go of his hand, glanced at the fainting Liuzi, ran to Zhao Xincheng, and quickly helped the other party up.

"Bold Xu Ji! This official was attacked as soon as he took office, this is not a matter of dereliction of duty, but a plot to kill the official of the imperial court!" Zhao Xincheng was shocked and said angrily, and when he saw the panicked official, he was even more anxious. "What kind of system! What kind of system! What kind of system! Stand up for this official! Stand up!"

No matter how Zhao Xincheng roared, his weak voice was also drowned in panic.

"How can this be? This kind of thing happened before entering Fangyuan Mansion, it is really a disadvantage for the teacher, and it is not good for the teacher......" Zhao Xincheng's heart was cold, and he fainted directly.

"Your Excellency!"

......

"Shouldn't you be there?" Ning Du asked with a smile.

Bai Qinghua looked at the chaotic crowd in the distance and said, "Can you sense who made it?"

Ning Du raised his eyebrows, obviously not liking Bai Qinghua's question, but he still said, "The arrow came from the mountain." ”

Bai Qinghua glanced at the mountain again.

"Don't bother thinking in vain, everyone in Fangyuan City wants to drive you away, anyone can do it. Next, there are countless guns and arrows waiting for you. In my opinion, you can just live in a waste vessel, which is much safer than living there. ”

"But I'm going to go there after all. Bai Qinghua said.

Suddenly, Ning Du's eyes became cold.

Bai Qinghua seemed to notice something unusual, looked at Ning Du, and waited motionlessly.

After a long time, Ning Du returned to normal.

"What's wrong?" Bai Qinghua asked.

"The ghost doesn't go away. Ning Du thought that he would be able to be quiet for a while after the battle with "Sword Seven", but he didn't expect to be targeted again. "It seems that you are just as unsafe to stay with me. "The current Ning Du is not capable of protecting others, so he can only barely protect himself.

"You're more dangerous than I am. Bai Qinghua smiled.

Ning Du glanced at the "Fangyuan Mansion Yamen" in the distance and said, "As long as you don't provoke right and wrong, there shouldn't be any problem." If anything, contact me with this in advance. With that, Ning Du handed a jade strip to Bai Qinghua.

Bai Qinghua glanced at it, and was not verbose, she took it directly from Ning Du's hand, and asked, "How do you use this thing?"

"Just break it. This pair of "juxtaposing", Ning Duke cheekily begged from Mr. Wu Yue. As soon as one of them is broken, the other will also be disconnected, and there is a vague sense between the two, through which the user can sense the location of the other.

"If I wanted to treat you to tea, I would call you. Bai Qinghua said with a smile.

Ning Du sneered and said, "The account of this thing is on your head." Don't talk nonsense with you, let's go. ”

Bai Qinghua looked at Ning Du, who left without hesitation, smiled, put away the "concurrent", and walked towards the "Fangyuan Mansion Yamen". He is an "official" after all, and he should go there.

......

Ning Du shuttled through Fangyuan City alone, seemingly casual, but in fact, his nerves were tense to the extreme, and he even directly opened the water-stopping cave.

If he hadn't noticed that the person following behind him was very strong, Ning Du would not have parted ways with Bai Qinghua so quickly. Although the other party's aura disappeared for a while, Ning Du was very sure that the other party was still following him.

"Four realms?"

Ning Duke knew too well the reason why he was able to severely damage or even kill the Tongxuan Realm before, which was the result of countless coincidental collisions and the fact that the other party was not strong at all.

Needless to say, it is to face the Tongxuan Realm, that is, to face the Mountain Realm, without knowing the other party's ability at all, Ning Du is not completely sure to win the other party. No matter how you say it, he's just in a difficult situation. If you don't give him plenty of time to prepare, he's not strong.

Appearing and disappearing in the dense building, Ning Du did not choose to go to the "waste weapon", but went to the area where the killing organization was located.

The waste weapon was the only place where Ning Du could settle down in Fangyuan City with peace of mind, and Ning Du would not lead the battle to that place unless it was a last resort.

Walking into a long and narrow alley, the faint smell of blood immediately rushed into his nose, Ning Du concentrated, and looked up at the killers with different postures in front of him.
