The next day, on the three poles, above the hall of the city lord's mansion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A middle-aged man dressed in a commander's costume was pacing, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he had something unfinished in his heart. He was Li Rongze, the general who guarded the land, and came to the door to ask to see the princess Mu Qingyue.

Originally, he would not have come to see the princess at this time, because yesterday Mu Qingyue had explained that she would let the soldiers rest for three days first, and she herself would walk around the city with the five deputy commanders to check the situation in the city.

It is enough for him to send a counselor who is familiar with the situation in the city to accompany him and give directions and introduce the situation.

But he had to come for a reason, and there were things for Her Royal Highness to decide. Unexpectedly, after this made the housekeeper of the mansion inform the curtain Qingyue, he was still waiting in the hall for nearly half an hour.

Could it be that Her Royal Highness usually wakes up so late?

But he didn't know that in the early morning, the princess summoned the five deputy commanders and Yunyu.

Explain to the five deputy commanders that Yun Yu is in the deep mountains not far from this city, and there is an ascetic elder who is stopping here to cultivate, and he wants to visit him to ask for benefits.

He also arranged for Dong Zhixiong, the commander of the Yellow Dragon team, who was familiar with the situation in the city, to lead Yunyu out of the city, and did not return until he was sent out of the city.

Mu Qingyue waited for him to return, and then let these five deputy commanders unify their voices, and then they would come out to see Li Rongze together to see what was going on with him?

As the sound of footsteps came from the corridor in the back hall, Li Rong stopped walking back and forth, stopped, turned around and stood and waited.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the last general will greet you!" Li Rong saw Mu Qingyue's figure appear, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Commander Li is also fine, no need to pay attention. You may be seated below. Mu Qingyue replied. She was followed by the five deputy commanders, and they all hugged their fists and saluted Li Rongze. Each found their own place and sat down, waiting for Li Rong to speak.

"Your Highness, according to your instructions, a counselor will be sent as a guide at the end, so that you will not be unable to understand all kinds of situations when you inspect Tianxiong Guancheng.

Of course, the counselor in this city lord is also familiar with the situation, and Her Royal Highness the princess can let the housekeeper arrange it. The end is here, but because there are other important matters that need to be decided by His Highness;

That is, the six major forces in this city want to visit Her Royal Highness today, I wonder if Your Highness will see it or not?"

Li Rong came to the mansion to see Mu Qingyue, and it was for the City Lord's Mansion to receive a letter of worship from the six major forces in the morning. He couldn't handle this kind of thing himself, so he rushed over to see what Her Royal Highness the princess was planning.

Mu Qingyue lowered her head and thought about it when she heard this, and only after a long time did she ask back: "Marshal Jiang Ru'an, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, arrived here two months ago, can they have a post to see you?"

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, yes, it was at the last general's Soldiers and Horses Division that held a banquet to receive the patriarchs and alliance leaders of these six forces. ...... Your Highness, these six major forces are the foundation of this city, although they do not participate in the management of this city and the right to speak.

However, it turns out that we also need to give them face. As long as they don't act in violation of the big principles, we won't deal with them.

After all, if there is really a war with the Tianji Dynasty, or a large-scale invasion by bandits, the strength of these forces is superb, and their attitude is the key factor that determines the success of the city's resistance. “

Li Rong heard the princess's question and replied, he hoped in his heart that Her Royal Highness the princess would arrange a banquet for these six forces, and he didn't want to think of herself as high because of the princess. If these forces are dissented, it will be much more difficult for him to manage the city in the future.

"That's okay, Commander Li, you go and arrange it, and you should invite them to a banquet at the Soldiers and Horses. I would also like to meet the people at the helm of these six forces and learn more about their strengths and styles. Mu Qingyue agreed.

......

Looking at the pitch-black river under his feet, Yun Yu couldn't help but hesitate slightly, he didn't know whether he should go into the water like this, and whether there would be danger in the end, he really had no bottom in his heart, but it was really difficult for him to accept it if he went back to see Mu Qingyue.

He arrived here at noon, although the mining area here was nearly four hundred miles away from Tianxiong Guancheng, but under Yun Yu's unfolding body and running all the way, it only took him two hours to get here.

After arriving, he didn't take out the Wanfu long waist card that represented his identity, but hid it. Secretly observe all the going on in this mining area.

This mining area is a relatively large spar vein mining area, and the property rights belong to the official Tianxiong Guancheng, that is, the imperial royalty. However, the mining rights are only 100 years old, and they are less than five months away.

At that time, the property rights of this mining area will be reorganized and become ownerless, and only after the Fuyang Empire and the Tianji Dynasty can it be decided which party will mine this mining area in the next hundred years.

In the past 20 years, this mining area has been managed and mined by the Dongfang family appointed by the Tianxiong Guancheng officials, and their Dongfang family is responsible for inviting some scattered cultivators or cultivators from other cities to go down to the Jinghe River to salvage the spars.

After receiving the spars, the two sides identified the quality and quantity of the spars, classified them, and distributed them according to the proportion of three or seven points.

There is also the cost of hiring repairers to salvage the money, which is paid by the Oriental family.

All the seven mining areas in Tianxiong Guancheng are numbered according to this cooperation mechanism, according to time and mining area, and they are reincarnated every 20 years, so that the six forces in the city and a small number of powerful small families or individuals can take turns to bid and carry out cooperation.

This kind of cooperation has lasted for nearly 800 years, and it is precisely because of this mechanism that the official family cooperates with various local families to obtain spars and share their profits.

Achieve equal interests, rather than relying on official status, forcible expropriation and plunder. Only then can the city maintain prosperity and stability, and all parties will have endless fun.

But this is only a superficial phenomenon, and now it should be that the family has developed over the years, and some families have the confidence and desire to expand the family's strength. There is a constant struggle in the shadows, vainly trying to monopolize the right to mine the spar, or simply wanting to swallow up the part that has been handed over to the government.

After Yunyu arrived, after observing the actions and conversations of the people in the mining area, he also learned about part of the situation here. Here, the official only sent a small team to inspect, and on the last day of the end of each month, the spars were classified, and the commission part was collected, and then sent to the Tianxiong Guancheng City Lord's Treasury.

However, the managers and guards of this place are all members of the Oriental family. Therefore, Yunyu hid in the dark during the day, and it was not until late at night that he came to the side of this crystal river.

This crystal river is located in a hollow cave that has been excavated for thousands of years, and Yun Yu has used the second layer of the light body method he created many times;

Only then did he hide from the guards and watchmen of the Dongfang family, entered the mine cave inside the mountain range of the mining area, and came to the side of the hedron river.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally made up his mind to go into the water to find out.

Because he had already groped inside the cave, he had not found any clues about the city lord, and he had seen the soldiers of Tianxiong Pass outside the mountain range patrolling outside the cave.

Therefore, he thought that if the city lord really disappeared here, it would be absolutely impossible for him and his entourage or the body to be transported out, after all, it was difficult to deceive those patrolling soldiers, once they found out. Then the entire mining area will definitely be taken back by the official family, and the family will also be punished.

Then it may be buried in the earth or in stones. But after Yun Yu used his soul power to visit, he didn't find anything, and the only place where his soul power couldn't scan through it was the crystal river in front of him.

There are a large number of spars in the crystal river, and even the river water has a large amount of water aura, and Yunyu's soul power can only penetrate into the river no more than ten zhang, so there is only a search for it in the water.

Whatever the outcome, the whole operation of the undercover agents will be successful. After all, all the places have been explored in detail, but they haven't found it, and they have also explained to Mu Qingyue, and then think of other ways or methods.

Yun Yu cautiously slid into the water, although this water was extremely cold, if it was other cultivators, they could only use their whole body spiritual power to resist this low temperature, so when they fished out the spars, they could not dive deep, and from time to time they needed to float up to breathe, and use the Gong Xing Pulse to expel the cold qi that invaded the body.

But Yun Yu didn't need to be like this, there was not only a hole fire in his body, but also the breath of the strange red fish in the Ring Sand Desert and the Blood Source Dead Lake.

After entering the water, after he ran the meridian exercises, his whole body felt warm, and he felt that the temperature in the water would not affect his movements much.

After calming down a little, its figure slowly fell into the deep water, a few zhang away, it was pitch black, and the eyesight could no longer see any objects, and the soul power was released, and it could only detect a dozen zhang away.

When his body slowly descended in the crystal river, he found the existence of several plants, which surprised Yun Yu, he didn't expect that there were still plants living in the crystal river in this dark and lightless mountain.

"Wow...... Suddenly, these plants were like living creatures, winding towards Yun Yu, which made Yun Yu startled, and just as he activated the cloud gun and thought about cutting off the stems of these plants as soon as they got close, these long moving plants were disturbed by it and retreated.
