"Yes, as a scout, you must run around, and it will be much more convenient to have a mount." ”

Canghai was very moved, and the mount was indeed what he needed at the moment, and he didn't refuse at the moment, and said to Ziru: "Thank you." I bought the flying beast, and I owe the money first, and I will pay it back to you when I send it to you. ”

Ziru looked away and said, "Hmph, just your little money, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it for two or three years." ”

Canghai said: "By the way, why did you come here again today?"

Ziru's face turned red and said, "Now that the whole city is under martial law, you have to be questioned everywhere on the street, which is very boring." I happened to be walking around here, so I stopped by to see if my uncle had finished drinking. Uncle, next time I'll bring you a few jars of wine. ”

Cangbai smiled and said: "Very good, very good, your wine is really a rare wine in the world, I'm afraid that it will hook my gluttony, but I can't drink it anymore, it's a hundred claws scratching my heart, catching people who are in a hurry." ”

Ziru said: "Uncle loves to drink, how much is there." ”

The mood was joyful, and he applauded continuously. Canghai said: "Don't you have to worry about the affairs of Tianji Gate?"

Ziru said angrily: "It doesn't matter what my business is, what does it have to do with you? If you don't like me to come, then I won't come." He got up and left.

Canghai reacted that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly stepped forward to stay: "I...... That was not what I meant. ”

Ziru's footsteps paused slightly, and said, "Hmph, I'm leaving." ”

Canghai was stagnant for a while, and he didn't know how to speak. Ziru stepped out of the door, and suddenly heard several flying beasts neighing outside, and the black shadow descended and landed into the wind. Several people jumped off the back of the flying beast and shouted the name of Canghai.

When Canghai went out, it turned out to be Mao Feng, Wu Qu and Fan Shengtian arriving together. When several people saw Ziru, they were all surprised, and Wu Qu said: "Hey, why is Ziru's sister here?"

Ziru said angrily: "This is my territory, what's wrong with me here, just allow you to be here?"

Wu Qu smiled: "I forgot, this is the land of Tianji Gate." Ziru's sister is close to the water, and it is normal to appear here. ”

Ziru said: "It's good to know." What are you doing here?"

Mao Feng strode into the house, put the things in his hand on the table, it turned out to be some wine and meat, and said: "Recently, the whole city has been under martial law, which makes people sullen, everyone heard that the Canghai brothers live in a good place, quiet and elegant, so they sold some wine and food to borrow land to relieve their boredom." ”

Cangbaizhong stretched his neck to see that there was roast chicken and braised pork, and swallowed saliva and said: "It's good, I'm worried that I don't have a chance to relieve meat." "You're honest, just rip off a chicken leg and eat it.

At the moment, several people gathered around, eating, drinking, feasting, and chatting. Except for the old and disrespectful, the rest of the people are similar in age and have similar interests, and this meal is very enjoyable. It's just that during the banquet, Ziru was very close to Canghai, and Fan Shengtian couldn't help but look a little stupid when he saw it.

Speaking of the hunting conference, there was another treacherous death storm in the imperial city, and everyone was worried. Canghai said: "Since I came to the Imperial City, I have seen that there are constantly major events. Has there always been so much going on in the Imperial City?"

Mao Feng said: "In the past, even if there were occasional conflicts, they were mostly internal affairs, but it was rare to collude with external enemies in such a matter. ”

Canghai said: "So many things have happened, but I have never seen my emperor show up." The Cloud Emperor is quite simple. ”

Mao Feng smiled: "You openly comment on our emperor, it is rude, be careful that the guard battalion asks you." After a pause, he continued: "Emperor Yun is not in the imperial city during this time, and all affairs are decided by several kings. Otherwise, there is no reason why the Lord will not come forward for such a major event as the second prince Brother Rui restoring his ancestral surname. ”

Canghai said: "I just admire the heroic style of the Cloud Emperor and want to see the holy face." It was not in the city. ”

Mao Feng sighed and said: "In recent years, Jin Liangguo has cultivated many masters, and the border army is ready to move, if you connect with the Ember Country to start a war, it will be difficult for the Yun Emperor to support it." Therefore, in the past few years, I have been running around, and I must show favor to other neighboring countries, hoping to seek a helping hand and fight against the embers together. Alas, my father always said that it was a pity that he was not talented enough, and he couldn't break through after staying at the king level for so many years. Even if Jin Liangguo covets my rocky land, he must be afraid of three points, and he will never dare to be so arrogant and presumptuous as he is now. ”

Canghai said: "Emperor Yun is the body of a monarch, but he has to run around and bow his head to ask for help from others, but it is really difficult for him. ”

Mao Feng said: "Yes, for the sake of the Rock Country, the Lord completely disregards the dignity of the king of his own country. And it is precisely because of this that he is more worthy of the people of the world to support him. There is such a lord in the country of Rock, how fortunate it is. ”

Everyone nodded yes. Mao Feng has a good understanding of current affairs, and talks about wine and meat, and analyzes the situation for everyone. Even the vicissitudes of life can be listened to. It turned out that among the surrounding countries, in addition to the two enemies of Jinliang and Ember Kingdom, the remaining ones were the Ghost Country, the Wulan Country and the Barbarians. The barbarians themselves are a plate of scattered sand, needless to say, the Ghost Country and the Cloud Emperor of the Azure Country have personally visited it. The Wulan Kingdom has been neutral for generations, does not participate in wars, does not lean towards any side, and has no grievances with the Jinliang Kingdom and the Ember Kingdom, and its monarch has repeatedly refused, so there is no need to think about it. Only the Ghost Nation and the Ember Nation have a history of border disputes, and there is still the possibility of an alliance. However, the ghost country has been vague, neither saying to help, nor saying not to help, just hanging people's hearts and constantly asking for benefits from the rock country, which is a headache. The Yun Emperor really spent a lot of energy and tongue on them, but so far he has not received the promise of sending troops to help each other.

Canghai said angrily: "This ghost country is a bit excessive. ”

Mao Feng said: "That's also a matter of no choice, among the surrounding imperial kingdoms with stakeholders, only they can help us." What's more, they also have a grudge against the Ember Country, and this is one of them. And once our country falls, the soldiers of the Jin Liang State in the east will point out, and they will definitely be the next. They won't not understand the truth of cold lips and teeth. This is the second one. ”

Canghai said: "Knowing that he will be implicated, he still salivates and asks for all kinds of benefits, and it is really ugly to eat." ”

Mao Feng said: "Who would think that the benefits are less?"

The people talked freely about state affairs, and did not disperse until the end of the day. The next day, Canghai returned to the scout camp, and Shen Jianhub still asked him to read. Sitting in the corridor with a book, people pass by from time to time, talking to each other. Canghai asked curiously, and the man said, "Last night, someone over there in Dongcheng was sucked out of his soul and died, don't you know?" ”

Canghai was stunned, wanting to ask for details, the man had already gone far. Thinking of the previous serial cases in Yunxia Town, how similar it is to now, Canghai beat a drum in his heart.

Sure enough, for the next few days, every day I heard the news of the tragic death of someone in the city, and the murderer started, and gradually, day and night, the patrol battalion and the guard battalion searched all over the city, but they did not even search for the shadow of the murderer. The murderer was like air, invisible and intangible, but people kept dying in the same form. There was a moment of panic in the imperial city.

In the blink of an eye, it has been seven or eight days since Canghai entered the scout camp, and those manuals have almost been turned over, Shen Jianhu still didn't say a word about his mission, Canghai was so depressed, and worried that the murderer was elusive, and his father was not safe at home alone. Fortunately, Ziru will go to accompany Cangbai every day, which is a lot more reassuring.

That night, Ziru returned to Tianji Gate, Canghai gave a ride on foot, and when he walked along the river on the way back, he suddenly saw a figure standing in a trance under the bamboo forest in front of him. He immediately thought of the recent series of murderous incidents, and his heart chuckled, and he stopped and asked, "Who is there?"
