"Say it, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Hongyuan: "Please don't publicize this matter for the time being. There is no one in Baixi Village who has ever known agricultural ability. I need to send someone to check it out first to make sure it's correct. ”

Baoyu: "Who are you going to send?"

Hongyuan: "At present, in Feihong City, only Captain Murabao knows about this, of course I will send Murabao to go." Let him take my car, pick up the lights and set off overnight, to go and return quickly. Before that, I would like to ask Mr. Xiao to stay in the city lord's mansion to rest and wait, and I will definitely treat you well. ”

Things have already happened, so many villagers in Baixi Village have been killed and injured, and a whole patrol army is gone, it can't be covered up no matter what, and what the Hongyuan City Lord is thinking about is how to deal with the aftermath as best as possible. Baoyu nodded and agreed, lived in the City Lord's Mansion and waited for news, and saw what the Hongyuan City Lord wanted to do with the future?

Let Baoyu live in his own mansion, although the Hongyuan City Lord is suspected of blocking the news, it seems that people may be worried that he will take the opportunity to disadvantage Baoyu. But from another point of view, Baoyu must be a master as a national worker, and it is actually easier for him to be unfavorable to Hongyuan. Hongyuan asked Baoyu to stay by his side, which also showed an unguarded attitude, to show that he was frank and selfless and had nothing to do with this matter.

At this time, it was almost midnight, and everyone in the house was waiting outside, and the little gentleman hadn't even eaten dinner. Hongyuan hurriedly said: "Fang Cai was only in a hurry to deal with important matters, and he forgot to invite Mr. Xiao to dinner, but I didn't realize that it was late at night, let's hurry up and eat!"

Baoyu shook his head and said, "I'm cultivating in Bigu, so I don't have to eat." If the lord of the castle is hungry, then go and eat by yourself, and arrange a quiet room for me to rest. ...... By the way, Captain Murabao hasn't eaten all day, so you ask him to eat first. ”

The lord of Hongyuan City ordered someone to arrange the most comfortable room for Baoyu to rest, and then sent Cunbao to Baixi Village to verify, and before leaving, he also privately told Cunbao some things. After dawn, he sent someone to recruit soldiers to meet him again, in fact, he already knew in his heart that Yan Zhu had already run away, where could he still come to see him, but this was just for example.

Villager Bao set off from Feihong City to Baixi Village and then returned, I am afraid it will take two days and one night, Baoyu stayed in the City Lord's Mansion, and also noticed that the living habits here are different from other places.

When Baoyu was in Lu Village, the tribesmen only ate one meal a day, and the barbarian tribesmen ate an astonishing amount of food, and when there was a shortage of food, it was possible to eat only one meal for several days, but one meal could eat a lot. When they arrived at Baixi Village, the villagers there ate two meals a day, at sunrise and sunset, and in between was a day's work.

However, in this city lord's mansion, people eat breakfast, noon, and evening three meals a day, and the city lord also handles affairs in the morning and afternoon, and eats and rests at noon. Baoyu lives here, of course the city lord wants to entertain him, but this is the little gentleman who said that he is cultivating in Bigu recently, so just send some tea.

So the lord of the city ordered people to serve tea every day, and sent the most precious tea utensils in the mansion. And Xinlan, a national worker and a monk of the Five Realms who lives in Feihong City, heard that another national worker came to Feihong City and lived in the City Lord's Mansion, and he also came to visit.

There are nearly 50 national workers in the Xiangmuro country, many of whom live near the national capital, some hold various positions, and some of them rarely show up in the cave house. Feihong City is so big, of course, there are several national workers living in the territory. Among them, Xinlan is in the city. The monks have their own circles of communication that are different from ordinary people, and mutual visits are also a good opportunity for exchange and verification. Xinlan came when she heard the news, of course, it is a very normal situation.

But Xinlan didn't see Baoyu, and he didn't even need Baoyu himself to reply, so the Hongyuan City Lord refused for him. It is said that Mr. Xiao is in retreat to comprehend the secret method, and it is inconvenient to meet guests for the time being.

What are you doing in the City Lord's Mansion to comprehend the secret method? Although it is comfortable to live there, it is not a good place for retreat and cultivation, and Xinlan is also confused. But after thinking about it, it is likely that the city lord of Hongyuan asked the national workers to help him refine some kind of precious artifact. So she couldn't be distracted, so Xinlan left with a comprehension, and asked the city lord to convey her intentions.

After two days and one night, the village treasure hurriedly returned to the city from Baixi Village, and reported to the city lord's mansion after dusk. Not only did he confirm what had happened, but he also conveyed the words of the city lord to the current patriarch Lingbao, between brothers. Of course, it's convenient to say anything.

The city lord of Hongyuan took the village treasure to the door of Baoyu's residence and politely asked to see him. Baoyu replied in the house: "Lord of the city, this is your house, I am just a guest, why do you want to say anything to see, come in!"

After entering the house. Hongyuan and Cun Bao bowed to Baoyu first, thanking him for his righteous action, which not only protected the villagers in Feihong City, but also eradicated the heinous murderers hiding in the city. After sitting down, Baoyu asked, "Captain Village Treasure." You've seen Lingbao, what did he say?"

Murabao replied, "He told me everything. Start by meeting you in Shuangliuzhai Station. I also examined the corpses of the rogues and the ordnance they carried, and sure enough, it was the first military formation in Feihong City, and there was no one missing. Lingbao was surprised and honored, he knew that you came from an extraordinary background, but he didn't expect that you were also a noble national worker. ”

Baoyu nodded and said, "Yes, none of them escaped, they just ran away from a flame candle behind the scenes, and you didn't find out their whereabouts, right?"

Murabao replied: "According to the inquiry, after Yan Zhu left the city and crossed the Minshui, there is no news of his whereabouts, maybe he has fled to a distant place, and he is not even in the Xiangmuro country. ...... Little sir, I do have a question, according to what you and Lingbao have said, it is not confirmed that Yan Candle is related to Nongneng, and even if there is any suspicion, there is no evidence, why did he order you to intercept you and flee quietly?

Baoyu pondered: "If you were him, are you sure that you are not exposed? And whether he is exposed or not, as a military advisor, he will be taken down and interrogated." ”

......

Nongneng's original plan was to suddenly enter the mountains and change his outfit on the way to Shang'an Village, and quickly cross Baixi upstream to Baixi Village, which happened to appear at the time they had agreed with the Shangy people. After succeeding, he quickly returned, still emerging from the original road, and rushed to Shang'an Village before dark, so that no one could notice. The plan was flawless, but they failed to do it.

The army was lost halfway for no reason, and did not arrive at the next village at the expected time, Yan Zhu also realized that something was wrong after hearing the news, and immediately rushed out of the city to Baixi Village. When he arrived, it was the morning after the snow, and he didn't dare to get too close to the village, but he happened to see the scene of the villagers and the demon clan cleaning the battlefield in the distance, and the "Liukou" was obviously wiped out.

Yan Zhu only knew that Nongneng's plan had failed, and the entire army formation was finished, and at this time, the two sides had been fighting for three days, and the identity of the army formation was completely exposed. In such a long period of time, it is entirely possible for Baixi Village to capture the captives and interrogate a lot of inside information, ordinary sergeants may not know what he has to do with this matter, but the three leaders of the military array are clear.

How dare Yan Candle think that Baixi Village didn't find out about him, so he hurriedly returned to Shuangliu Village, ordered someone to transfer the army to intercept the road, and then hid halfway to snoop, and found that Baoyu set off to the city outline alone, obviously to report the news, so he ordered the army formation to intercept and kill, and he ran back to the city outline to pack up his things and slip away.

If Baoyu is taken down according to his orders, and the news is blocked and escorted to the military array to wait for him to interrogate him personally, I am afraid that it will take longer for the truth to be revealed, and even when Baixi Village sends someone to the city to report the news, then he will have enough time to dismiss his family and leave calmly.

Yan Zhu didn't know that Baixi Village didn't catch a single live interrogation, mainly because those pig-headed people were too violent, and even the injured rogues were found out and slaughtered on the spot. If he does nothing, he may only be removed from his post and investigated, and exiled to the border for a few years at most, but if he does so, he will be guilty of destroying the door.

But Yan Zhu didn't have time to think about it so much, anyway, he had already packed up his valuables and ran away first, as for Feihong City, even if it was a mess, it had nothing to do with him.

......

Yan Candle must have something to do, but what exactly is going on can only be guessed, because there is no living mouth left in Baixi Village, as for how Nong Neng and the others know about the secret treasures of the Bai Xi Ying family, I am afraid they can only ask Yan Candle. But in the past few days, the Hongyuan City Lord has not publicly ordered the arrest of Yan Candle, of course, there is a problem.

After entering the house, it was always the village treasure who spoke, but the Hongyuan city lord never said a word. After hearing this, Baoyu nodded and asked, "You are here to tell me this, is there anything else? I have lived in Feihong City for these days, but I haven't even left the door, if there is nothing to do, I should leave!"

The Hongyuan City Lord hurriedly got up and said, "Mr. Wait, I still have something important to ask for!"

He personally went out and came in with a pot, and personally made tea for Baoyu, followed by a servant. The servant carried a plate, covered with golden velvet, the plate was not very large, but the servant looked a little struggling, put the things on the table and bowed out.

Baoyu didn't stretch out his hand, and opened the velvet in the air with the method of imperial objects, and there was still a golden color underneath, which was actually a plate of gold. I only heard Hongyuan say respectfully: "Mr. Xiao is a master in the world, I am afraid that he will not look down on these mundane things." But I'm a mortal person, and I thank you for all you have done for Fei Hung City. ”

Hongyuan is not a monk, and he has only been the city lord for two years, so it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to take out things such as magic weapons or heavenly treasures. Gold is indeed too vulgar, but vulgarity is also elegant, even monks and masters will not dislike it. Baoyu also carried it with herself, which was only a lot more than the plate sent by Hongyuan.

Baoyu looked at the plate of gold, did not say to accept it, nor did he say whether to accept it, and then looked at Hongyuan's eyes and said, "Lord City, since you have something, say it." ”

Of course, Hongyuan didn't just come to send gold to Baoyu, he said with some apprehension: "This matter is very important, and the lord of this city does not dare to make a claim, and plans to send Captain Cunbao to the national capital to report and ask the monarch how to deal with it? ”

The damned ones are already dead, and those who want to escape have already fled, and what else can the monarch do with is nothing more than how to make it public. Baoyu asked again: "Report to the monarch, and wait for the king's edict to be issued to the city, it will take at least two months, how does the city lord want to explain?"

Hongyuan replied: "I would like to temporarily announce that there are rogues who want to loot the village, and the patrol army has detected clues. When the army was pursuing, it was ambushed by the Liukou, but fortunately, with the help of the righteous people of Xixi Village, the Liukou was killed, but the military formation was unfortunately wiped out. ”

Baoyu just looked at Hongyuan, but didn't speak. This made Hongyuan feel a little uncertain, and explained in a low voice: "The most elite army formation in Feihong City was wiped out, what kind of ferocious rogues did they encounter?

But at that time, there happened to be a powerful and superb national worker passing by, and the righteous man Lingbao was a guest in Baixi Village with several masters Beixi, Yunxi, and Shi Yu, and had the help of the demon clan who rushed to hear the news, so that the murderous rogues were eradicated, and Baixi Village also suffered a lot of casualties. In this way, you can barely explain.

When Mr. Xiao entered the city, he showed the tokens of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and many soldiers and civilians saw it with their own eyes, of course you came for this matter. Feihong City will publicly praise all the righteous soldiers, the fallen helpers and the dead and injured villagers, I sent the captain of the village treasure to Baixi Village, but also to discuss this matter with the villagers. ”

Baoyu finally asked, "Oh, what did Baixi Village say?"

Mura Bao hurriedly replied, "Lingbao summoned the villagers and the patriarch of the demon clan to discuss, and he can also understand why the city lord made such an announcement. When they heard that Mr. Xiao was originally a member of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and was currently living in the city lord's mansion, they said that everything was at the behest of Mr. Xiao, as long as Mr. Xiao nodded. ”

Baoyu was very emotional, since leaving the wilderness and coming to this vast world, many things have become more and more difficult to see through at a glance. And the original face is in it, but people need to discover and distinguish, and there are more considerations and choices when acting, and Baoyu can't tell whether this is good or bad.

Listening to the meaning of the people in Baixi Village, they were obviously willing to agree to the city lord's proposal, but let Baoyu make a decision, because it was useless just that they agreed, this national worker had experienced everything, and it was enough to convince him to tell the matter in his capacity, so the city lord came to plead with Baoyu.

Lingbao was originally an upright and hot-blooded man, but after he became the patriarch of Baixi Village, he would think about more things. The Liukou have all been wiped out, and it is of course good that the city is willing to take care of the village. It is conceivable that if the people knew that the army defending the city was actually slaughtering the villagers, what kind of panic would be caused, and how it would have shocked the Pakistani scandal. The lord of the castle just wants to deal with the aftermath as clean as possible so that the situation does not get out of control.

Baoyu was also thinking about how he would guide him if the mountain god was here, and what would he do with it if the mountain god was here? Unfortunately, he had left the protection of the mountain god and the care of the mountain lord, and everything could only be decided by himself.

Seeing that Baoyu didn't speak, the Hongyuan City Lord explained: "Little Sir, I don't mean to lie and deceive, the specific course of the matter, I will send Captain Cunbao to truthfully report to Bingzheng, Lizheng and the monarch, just announce it for the time being, waiting for the monarch to decide." ”

Baoyu finally sighed and said, "Actually, the Lingbao Patriarch summoned the people of Baixi Village to discuss the results of the decision, so there is no need for me to nod. I only pass by occasionally. Encountering the rogues who ransacked the village and came to their aid, now the rogues have been destroyed. It's time for me to keep going my way.

As long as you don't deliberately deceive, and you don't connive at the murderer's impunity, as for how you want to announce and deal with it, that's your own business, I'm not the patriarch of Baixi Village, and I'm not the city lord of Feihong City, so you don't have to ask me. But in this case, what can you do with the flame candle that has escaped?"

Seeing Baoyu's attitude, this is so. Neither taking the initiative to help Feihong City, nor interfering with their choice, the Hongyuan City Lord finally breathed a sigh of relief, leaned forward and said, "This City Lord has no intention of conniving at the murderer to get away with it, but it is difficult to catch Yan Candle. Little sir, can I ask you one more thing from Feihong City?"

Baoyu: "What else?"

Hongyuan City Lord: "I heard that you caught up with the escaped Nongneng in Baixi Village. It only took a few breaths to fight and kill him, and he didn't even have a chance to escape, right?"

Baoyu glanced at Mura Bao and asked rhetorically, "Nong Neng is only alone when he breaks away from the military formation. Of course I have a chance to kill him. The City Lord has already sent Captain Village Treasure to Baixi Village, so he must have already asked for the details, so why bother to ask me again?"

The Hongyuan City Lord replied with a very embarrassed expression: "Although Nong Neng is a deputy military division, he has profound skills and is very good at fighting methods. He also often learns from others, and the most fighting method with him is the soldier Yan Candle. Although Yan Zhu is also a monk of the Four Realms. But it is no match for it. Mr. Xiao can not only steadily cut the agricultural energy, but also win the flame candle.

I know it's too much to ask, but I have to try to ask you. I heard that you will be leaving Rainbow City in the near future, if you find clues about Yan Candle's whereabouts on the way, can you please take him down? Try to find out the truth of the matter—what is his relationship with Nong Neng, and who else is his accomplice?"

Mura Bao also cautiously added on the side: "If you send an army formation to chase, there is nowhere to find in the vast mountains and wilderness, and the assembled team can only take the main road. But I know your cultivation, little sir, and I have seen with my own eyes the speed at which you walk through the mountains.

Now that three days have passed, if he has not flown away day and night, he may have escaped a certain distance and then stopped and hid when he thought he was safe. If you have the heart to pursue him, it is still possible to catch him, and only you have the ability to take him down. ”

The city lord of Hongyuan wants to ask Baoyu to find out the truth, and the people in the city will often ask for his help, but it will never contain such a thing!
