"It seems that this county guard is not lying, this place does look very desolate and desolate, is it because those girls have disappeared for no reason?" Qi Chao led the two horses and looked around from time to time, and the scene he saw felt very gloomy, and the people here even wore plain clothes.

"According to what the song says, that's it, I don't think it's that simple, I'll wait until I see the county guard. "Shen Qiqi walked on the street, feeling that from spring to winter, the wind and sand here are very strong, and there are no trees planted on the roadside. The slightest gust of wind would kick up dust, and the dirt would drill into his nose, and Shen Qiqi would understand why the pedestrians on the street almost covered their mouths and noses with bandanas or handkerchiefs.

"The haze here is very serious, I don't know how many times the PM2.5 exceeds the standard, and if this continues, I don't know how long the city will be flooded by this mud and become a desert. Shen Qiqi took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth and closed it, her words made Qi Zhao stunned and looked at Shen Qiqi blankly.

"Princess, what did you just say?" Qi Zhao didn't understand Shen Qiqi's words, Shen Qiqi stuck out his tongue and hurriedly explained.

"I'm just talking about it casually, that is, the dirt here, it's too much, let's not talk about it, let's go to the county capital and find the county guard to ask for clarification." Shen Qiqi realized that he had inadvertently said modern words again, Qi Zhao thought that she had a worried look, and she hurriedly pushed Qi Zhao in the direction of the county guard's mansion.

I thought that the environment of the county guard mansion should be better, but I didn't expect that the county guard mansion seemed to be cold, and there was only one doorman guarding it, and he was sitting at the door with a saber in both hands and yawning. Qi Zhao took out the token of Lord Qincha and handed it to the doorman, who was also literate, and when he saw the words on it, he immediately fell off the stool.

"It turns out that Lord Qincha has arrived, and our adults are still waiting inside, so I'll go in, please come in." The doorman nodded and invited Qi Zhao and Shen Qiqi to enter without waiting for the report, it seems that he also knows the news, and Shen Qiqi is not surprised to enter the county capital with Qi Zhao. It's a little green inside the county guard's house. Bypassing the wall, there is a courtyard inside, the ground is full of flowers and plants, and compared with the outside environment, it is simply a world of difference, as if it are two worlds.

"It's a little green here, why can't you see it on the street? If you plant trees in the street, it won't be so dusty, this county guard is really interesting, and his house is full of flowers and plants. Qi Zhao was dissatisfied, and he didn't want to suppress his dissatisfaction, so he simply said it.

And Shen Qiqi observed a little more carefully, although the ground was full of flowers and grass pavilions, these flowers and plants were extremely cheap, and they were wild flowers and weeds, and the entire county capital looked very simple, even if it was the oncoming living room, the tables and chairs placed were extremely simple wooden benches and wooden tables, and there was no luxury at all.

Shen Qiqi and Qi Zhao both thought that this close hand should be a middle-aged man, with a beard on his chin, a polite and polite person, or a scholar who was full of words, but he didn't expect to come out, it turned out to be a handsome young man. The boy looked to be about twenty years old at most, with fair skin, clear eyes, and a slender build. With a simple and simple headband to expose his smooth forehead, he is more like a teenager who has come out of the study.

"This is the county guard Dongfang?" Qi Zhao was also very surprised, he was very surprised, he didn't expect this county guard to be so good-looking and so young.

"It should be, there is no one else looking like this, or is he the son of the county guard?" Shen Qiqi also felt that this county guard society was too ugly, and he immediately thought that maybe it should be the son of the county guard, but the oncoming young man broke Shen Qiqi's idea.

"This is Lord Chincha, I have come from afar, I am really disappointed, please forgive my sins. Dongfang Chi bowed his hands to Shen Qiqi and Qi Zhao, polite, Shen Qiqi felt a little unbelievable when he saw it, he was so young, he must have been raised in the exam at a very young age to be the county guard, the official position of the county guard in Qinglan Country is the sixth grade, not a young prodigy, how can he be so young to be a six-grade official.

"Lord Dongfang is polite, we also came in Weifu and didn't disturb others, just to see the true face of Pingyuan County, it seems that Pingyuan County is worse than we thought, Dongfang Lord is really hard here. ”

Shen Qiqi also returned the salute, she did not hide that she had seen the situation in Pingyuan County, and Dongfang Chi was also very straightforward.

"I'm not working hard here, but I've suffered the people here, as a county guard, no matter how hard I am, I will finally have a good income, but the people don't have income, I can only rely on my previous savings, and after a while, I have been hoping that someone in the court will come to rescue these people. Now, Lord Qincha, are you two here to inspect and clarify the situation and help Pingyuan County?"

Dongfang Chi saw that there were only two people in Shen Qiqi, so he made a guess, and Shen Qiqi had a feeling that the situation in Pingyuan County should be worse than what she had seen and thought.

"Yes, the two of us want to inspect the situation and report to the emperor, can you tell me the real situation? ”

Shen Qiqi looked around the entire county capital, it didn't look big, there was a hall, and there were rooms on both sides, it should be no more than six rooms. The county guard was even smaller than she thought, and she could see it all at a glance. In his impression, the county capital is at least a large courtyard with two entrances and two exits, and this is just a rectangular courtyard. The courtyard behind the wall is planted with wild flowers and grass, and then there is the hall and the rooms on both sides, which do not have the slightest atmosphere of an official home, but are more like ordinary people's residences.

"Of course you can, I will definitely do what you command, please forgive me for being reckless, you are the queen mother, right?" Dongfang Chi's words moved out Shen Qiqi was stunned for a moment, how could he know his identity?

"Mother, you speak in a voice message. You are dressed as a man, but your face lacks manliness, and your body is completely a woman's posture, and the only person who can make the emperor go on patrol as a messenger is someone who can be trusted, and this woman should be the queen who is rumored to be his favorite queen. ”

Dongfang Chi's analysis made Shen Qiqi have a different opinion on this county guard, it seems that this county guard is not as young as he seems to be in appearance, he is experienced and has a unique vision. After knowing Shen Qiqi's identity, he was still neither humble nor arrogant, and did not grovel, but a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
