The water jade mine was already boiling, and all the men and women knelt down around the small courtyard, looking at the god who saved them in front of them with tears in their eyes.

Flowing Fire's eyes were already moist, and he looked at the crying crowd in front of him and said to Suzaku.

"You don't understand everything I did, the officials of Chu don't understand, and even the people in the Creation Gate don't understand..."

"But I'm telling you, they understand, they know what I'm doing..."

"That's enough, why do I have to make you all understand, it's enough for them to understand..."

Suzaku was speechless, and at this time she had completely forgotten who she was, and an innate instinct of a woman dominated her.

Suzaku cried so badly that he had long forgotten that he was the Awakened and the leader of the Shadow Army.

When the audience was boiling, the red-eyed Yang Fan sneaked to Liuhuo's side and whispered.

"I suggest you use the Great Light Technique to appease the people. Otherwise, it will not be good for them with great sorrow and joy..."

Liuhuo's heart was boiling with blood now, and he didn't pay attention to the strangeness in Yang Fan's eyes at all.

Flowing Fire suddenly raised his right hand slowly, and as the palm of his hand rose, a faint light condensed in his palm, and when that palm was raised high above his head, it was about to touch the sky.

A pure light suddenly filled the entire void.

A small sun actually floated from the palm of his hand.

A warm, pure glow spread throughout the mine and on everyone.

The women stopped crying, and the light shone on their bodies with incomparable warmth.

The men stopped shouting, and the light made them uncomprehensibly determined.

The mine supervisors and soldiers had long forgotten who they were, threw away their whips and weapons, and fell to the ground trembling.

The officials of the state of Chu crawled on the ground, muttering to themselves, as if they were repenting of their sins.

Tian Fei looked at the miracle in the sky, marveling at the profound mana of the flowing fire, and at the same time, there was an inexplicable sadness.

Yang Fan and Zuo Panyu looked at the flowing fire, with a little confusion and perseverance in their eyes.

From that day on, the people on both sides of the Peishui River in the Chu State renounced all the gods they had previously believed in. Every household worships the god of light.

In the portraits, in the carvings, no matter how the appearance of the god of light changes, one thing is certain.

In the raised right hand, a radiant sun is rising.

Thousands of years later, the legend of the god of light has been passed down from generation to generation. Especially in the cold winter months, worshipping the god of light is the most important activity for people.

But that's thousands of years later, and I can't think about it that much now.

The excited crowd gradually dispersed, and the four of them returned to their room, carefully discussing their next steps.

Tian Fei was even more respectful, he knew that the young man in front of him was definitely a big man in the inner door, and he was not even worthy of carrying shoes compared to others.

When Liuhuo asked about the details of Shui Yu's case, Tian Fei quickly got up from his seat and described in detail how Shui Yu was lost.

It turned out that the water jade mine transported water jade to the Zaohua Gate on a quarterly basis, and the water jade lost this time was all the output of the mine in the entire autumn.

The water jade mine site is located in the belly of the Chu State, and there has never been an accident, so the escort level is not high, and there are only two swordsmen to escort it.

This water jade transportation is no exception, along the Peishui to the east, to the official road and then to the north, generally more than 20 days can be transported to Zhongzhou Mountain.

This time the transportation is very strange, after 40 days, the Creation Gate still has not received the water jade, when the steward of the Creation Gate sent someone to inquire, everyone knew that the water jade was missing.

"So, the water jade must have been sent out on time?" Yang Fan asked.

"That's right, everyone in the mine can prove that there are still documents for leaving the warehouse..."

"Do you think there's the biggest problem along the way?"

"Hmm... There will be no problems on the way from the mine to the official road, there are ordinary mortals around, and no one dares to touch the things that create the gate, if there is a problem, it should be on the official road..."

Zuo Panyu thought for a while and said.

"The closer the official road is to the heavenly capital, the safer it will be, after all, this is where the Creation Gate is located, and no one dares to do it here..."

"Then the remaining doubts are on this half of the official road, now we should analyze it carefully, there is the best place to start"

Suzaku stared at the map and thought for a while.

"If you have to find a suspicious location, Luocaopo is very suspicious here. It's a hilly area with unusually dense woods, and it's the perfect place to be if someone wants to ambush..."

Before Suzaku finished speaking, Tian Fei quickly shook his head and said.

"No, I've never heard of any strongmen here on the grassy slope, not to mention that the two swordsmen escorted are both masters, and the average robber is definitely not their opponent. ”

Suzaku stared at Tian Fei for a long time, and suddenly smiled slightly.

"It's getting late, let's rest first, and we'll discuss it tomorrow... Brother Tian, don't ask someone to arrange meals yet..."

When Tian Fei heard this, he hurriedly went out of the house to arrange wine and food, and shouted while running.

"Blame me, blame me, I forgot about it after a lot of things..."

Everyone ate tastelessly at dinner, although Tian Fei frequently raised his glass to liven up the atmosphere, but when he saw that everyone had something in his heart, he didn't dare to make more noise.

After dinner, the four of them gathered in the fire room to discuss plans for tomorrow.

"I think Tian Fei is suspicious," Suzaku was the first to speak.

After hearing this, Yang Fan also nodded and said, "That's true, he avoids the official road vigorously, especially the place where he falls into the grassy slope." And he tried his best to lead things to mortals, one would say robbers, the other would say swordsman..."

Zuo Panyu thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the grass slope tomorrow and have a look, maybe I can find something."

Suzaku smiled and said, "I'm sure Tian Fei must be lying, he said that Luocaopo has never heard of a strong man, this sentence is a lie..."

"As far as I know, there is an awakened person living in seclusion on the grassy slope now, his name is Poison Knife Liu..."

Seeing that Suzaku was sure, Liuhuo hurriedly asked, "Where did you get the news, why are you so sure?"

Suzaku smiled after hearing this, and said proudly.

"Because... Because I'm a woman..."

Suzaku's answer was choked and he rolled his eyes, thinking to himself what kind of answer is this, you know gossip all day long, and you actually ask for information?

In the end, Liuhuo made a decision to set off tomorrow to investigate the grassy slope.

Before going to bed at night, Yang Fan and Zuo Panyu chatted in their rooms.

"Why didn't Suzaku live in the senior brother's room? Don't they have that relationship? Or in front of us, I'm sorry?" Yang Fan asked with a grin, looking improper.

"Why do you have so many flowers in your belly?

"Eh, you're going to be called an adult so soon, it seems that you've made up your mind?"

Zuo Panyu looked at Yang Fan, who was teasing, and smiled slightly.

"I'm afraid it's your determination. During the day, you encourage the people to count you the hardest, jumping up and down, and then turn around and let the adults perform the Great Light Technique, don't you just want to help the adults stir up fame?"

Yang Fan still looked indifferent, "Aren't I working for you?" You're also the first to be optimistic about Lord Flowing Fire, didn't I give Lord a hand?"

"Facts have proved that I am not mistaken, judging from the fact that Lord Liuhuo solved the suffering of the people on both sides of Peishui, we did not choose the wrong person..."

Yang Fan recalled the touching scene during the day, and said with a long sigh.

"yes... Lord Liuhuo does not have those habits of inner disciples, and he is pure in heart, he can see the suffering of the world, and he is willing to take action against the suffering of the people, let alone us outer disciples..."

"The most important thing is that Lord Flowing Fire has a reputation. He is the only disciple of Liu Da, and he has won everyone's respect with his strength in the Hundred Gardens, and such a person can lead us to realize our ideals..."

Zuo Panyu is as his name suggests, his eyes are as calm as a rock and a solid jade, and his words are loud and clear.

While the two were talking in secret, Suzaku was hiding outside the door and listening carefully to their conversation.

Suzaku really deserves to be the leader of the Shadow Army, and at such a close distance, he actually concealed the divine consciousness of the two awakened ones.

"That Yang Fan, full of bad water, actually dares to slander my relationship with Flowing Fire... Next time I cook, see if I don't add ingredients to your bowl..."

"No wonder I always think something is wrong with them. It turned out that he was intent on pulling the fire into the water... I can't look down on the broken organization they did..."

"No, I'll have to keep an eye on them, lest I bring the fire into the ditch..."

When the snoring in the house gradually started, Suzaku carefully went back to his room to rest.

Early the next morning, after a brief freshening up and meal, the four of them hurriedly ran to the grassy slope.

The grass slope is not far from the mine, and it can be reached in a day. When everyone reached the edge of the grassy slope, they found that it was not easy to explore.

Luocaopo is actually a group of hills within a radius of 100 miles, which is densely forested and sparsely populated. The hills are one after another, although they are not too high, but they are very dense, and it is easy for people to get lost when they walk in them.

Seeing that it was getting late, everyone rushed into the forest to avoid any results, so they prepared to camp outside the forest for a night, and then go to explore tomorrow.

However, as soon as the small camp was built, Suzaku noticed a problem. Everyone only brought two tents with them, how can people live here?

What's even more odious is Yang Fan, who said while helping Liuhuo to support the tent.

"You have to hold the tent steady, otherwise the senior brother and sister will not be able to sleep soundly..."

This filthy ghost, why is it so annoying.

When Liuhuo and Zuo Panyu returned from collecting firewood from the forest, Suzaku had nowhere to vent his complaints, so he had to gouge out Liuhuo with his eyes, and turned around and left without even cooking.

Seeing Suzaku's expression, Liuhuo was puzzled. I thought, where did I offend her?

When the bonfire was lit, the fire noticed something unusual. Why are there only two tents?

This dinner was really awkward, and Suzaku sat eight feet away from the flowing fire, as if this would save him the embarrassment of staying in a tent at night.

Liuhuo lowered his head and ate barbecue jerky, not daring to say a word, for fear of offending Suzaku.

Zuo Panyu was a little puzzled, and hurriedly carefully combed through the recent events in his mind, trying to analyze the reason.

Only Yang Fan was the most relaxed, eating meat while still talking.

"Eh, this bad weather, it's really cold, it looks like it's going to snow again..."

"Fortunately, the cowhide tent we brought is of good quality, it is worthy of being produced by half a tael of gold, I just got into it and called it a warm..."

"You must rest well tonight, otherwise you won't have the energy to patrol tomorrow..."

This unlucky Yang Fan, every sentence is aimed at sleeping tonight, just like deliberately going against Suzaku.

Gradually, Suzaku's anger reached a critical point.
