When Shen Xi's family of five died, Shen Feng was grief-stricken and used all the strength of the Vermilion Bird family to track down the murderer, but he never found out who did it.

However, not long after, Shen Yanxiao's father, Shen Feng's youngest son, Shen Yu's family, was also murdered.

All this is an unsolved mystery, but Shen Yue feels that the death of the eldest brother and the sixth brother is only afraid that it will not be related to Shen Xuan.

But he didn't dare to ask more, for fear that he would be the next one to suffer.

"That's... Then it's all up to the second brother. Shen Yue swallowed his saliva, feeling that his second brother had suddenly become stranger.

Shen Xuan sneered and said, "This is nature. ”

……

On the third day after returning to the imperial capital, Shen Yanxiao met with the emperor and received a letter of appointment from the emperor for a city in the barren land.

With the letter of appointment, Shen Yanxiao slipped back to the Suzaku family.

staring at the three words "the sun never sets" on the letter of appointment, I was fascinated.

The city given to her by the emperor is called the City on which the sun never sets, and it is located in the eastern part of the barren lands.

The four countries of the Bright Continent are all linked to the Barren Land, respectively in the four corners, and the east is closest to the Longxuan Empire.

"Xiu, do you know where this day doesn't fall?" Shen Yanxiao sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at the letter of appointment over and over.

'The Barren Land is the base camp of the Demon Race, and there are a total of seven headquarters in the entire Barren Land, and the city where the sun never sets is the headquarters in the east. Xiu replied.

"HQ?" Shen Yanxiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

'The area where the sun never sets is comparable to the imperial capital of the Longxuan Empire, but because it used to be one of the headquarters of the demon race, the level of demons there is very high, and the distribution of low-level demons is also very dense. ’

"Tsk, the emperor is really generous to me, giving such a large piece of land." Shen Yanxiao chuckled and lay on the bed, but the smile did not penetrate into his eyes.

It seems to be a generous reward, but danger is brewing.

If you get such a large fief in an ordinary area, I'm afraid that everyone will be happy to die.

But the sun doesn't set on the barren land, and the wider the area, the more demons to be eradicated, and the more defenses and city equipment need to be built.

In the past, the winners of the Longxuan Imperial Academy Tournament would be assigned to some smaller cities, which could not only avoid a large number of demons, but also reduce the workload.

But the emperor's arrangement this time was a big surprise.

"It seems that the emperor has a lot of opinions about my profession." How could Shen Yanxiao not guess the emperor's thoughts, just thinking of the disgust in the emperor's eyes when he handed over the letter of appointment to herself, she knew that the task of this barren land was definitely difficult.

The champion of the previous academy competitions couldn't even consolidate a small city, but this time the emperor suddenly awarded her a big guy, which clearly showed that he didn't want to see her successfully build a city.

However, this is in line with Shen Yanxiao's wishes, her main purpose in going to the barren land is to keep demons in captivity.

If you are not afraid of too many demons, you are afraid that there are too few demons and will not be able to satisfy the appetite of Xiu.

"Xiu, you should know some news about the barren land of Lu Dao, what do you think we should prepare for this time?" Shen Yanxiao asked Xiu's opinion, and she always felt that Xiu's understanding of the barren land surpassed everyone else.

However, Xiu's answer did not disappoint her.

'It's hard to rebuild the sun without a thousand people. However, at first, the main purpose of your entry into the sun never set was to deal with the demons there, otherwise even if you brought tens of thousands of people, I am afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty. ’
