Lord Zhong Kui has a beard, and his complexion is relatively dark, so at this time, at this time, in the big night, he can basically only see two eyes, blinking all the time.

I waited for Master Zhong Kui to speak.

Master Zhong Kui said to me in a low voice: "The bad thing that came from the underworld this time is that Boss Chen and Chen Xiaosidian insisted that you have something to do with the Dragon Palace, saying that you have collusion with the Dragon Palace. The prefecture also attaches great importance to this matter. ”

Talking. Lord Zhong Kui looked at me meaningfully, and I was a little uncomfortable when I saw it.

I thought to myself, fortunately I was not caught by them this time, you must know that I am the new king of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, if you really want to talk about it, this is not just a simple collusion with the Dragon Palace.

To talk about it, it can be regarded as the new king of the Dragon Palace who broke into the interior of the underworld.

I glanced at Lord Zhong Kui and laughed awkwardly.

When Boss Chen said that there was a feud between the underworld and the Dragon Palace, in fact, I never knew what the hatred between the underworld and the Dragon Palace was.

I thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Lord Zhong Kui, what is the contradiction between the underworld and the Dragon Palace?" ”

Master Zhong Kui's eyes seemed to become deeper, as if he was about to pierce me at any time.

I just used a smile to hide my embarrassment. Because it's really embarrassing at this point.

Lord Zhong Kui suddenly asked me in a suppressed voice, "Lord Qin, you should have nothing to do with the underworld, right?" ”

I replied, "Lord Zhong Kui, what are you talking about, how can I have something to do with the Dragon Palace, do you think too highly of me?" ”

When Lord Zhong Kui heard what I said, he probably thought that what I said made sense, so he said: "That's what I said, just like you, being a city god in the underworld is so enough, how can you still collude with the underworld!" ”

Me: "......"

I was speechless for a moment, but I didn't waste my words trying to explain.

Lord Zhong Kui hasn't answered me yet, why is there a feud between the underworld and the Dragon Palace.

So I repeated it again.

Lord Zhong Kui looked at me and said: "It's normal that you don't know about this matter, after all, you have only just come to the underworld, and you don't know the contradiction between the underworld and the Dragon Palace. ”

"Has the hatred been so old until now?"

"That's pretty much it!"

I couldn't help but urge Lord Zhong Kui to tell me about it, and Lord Zhong Kui looked at me and said, "Okay, I should talk to you about these things." ”

When I was in the Dragon Palace before, no one mentioned that there was still a conflict between the Dragon Palace and the underworld.

When my master asked me to come to the prefecture to be an official, he didn't tell me.

Feelings: I'm like an outsider now.

Lord Zhong Kui said to me: "Lord Qin, you must know that the rivers and lakes of the Dragon Palace are all over the world, so a large number of people drown in the rivers, lakes and seas every year. ”

I hummed softly and didn't say much.

Lord Zhong Kui continued: "But the Dragon Palace has always been reluctant to hand over those drowned souls to our underworld, so there is a conflict between the underworld and the Dragon Palace, and as time goes by, the resentment between the two sides has deepened. So a war broke out, and the two sides organized a large-scale battle, flickering the dead and wounded, but this matter has not been solved fundamentally, this is the contradiction between the underworld and the Dragon Palace, the underworld has always been concerned about this matter, so if any underworld officials collude with the Dragon Palace, they will be executed! ”

Hear the last word. I suddenly felt a chill run down my back.

Execution is no joke.

Lord Zhong Kui didn't know that the new king of the East China Sea Dragon Palace was sitting across from him, and if he knew, would he immediately jump up and kill me, this is very likely.

I asked, "Then why is the Dragon Palace unwilling to return the soul to the underworld?" ”

Lord Zhong Kui said: "The reason given by the Dragon Palace is that the Dragon Palace lacks manpower, and these people must be distributed to all corners of the world to manage the rivers, lakes and seas!" In fact, fundamentally, the Dragon Palace didn't want to hand it over. ”

"Heaven has never intervened in this matter?"

"Heavenly Court? I've meddled in it, but it's not handled well. If it weren't for the fact that Heavenly Court forced the two sides not to have a large-scale battle, I am afraid that the two sides would have fought each other a long time ago, although there was no large-scale battle on the surface, but secretly the action has been continuous! ”

I sighed and didn't go on.

I was a little distracted, I didn't expect that there would be such a beam in the Dragon Palace and the underworld.

If I reveal my identity, I'm afraid I won't have many good days. It's really risky to think about it now.

Just when I lost my mind, Lord Zhong Kui suddenly slapped a hand on my shoulder and said, "My dear, you must not collude with the Dragon Palace!" ”

I laughed dryly, and I felt beads of cold sweat oozing from my forehead.

I replied, "Don't worry, don't worry, Lord Zhong Kui!" ”

After I finished saying this, I quickly changed the subject and said, "Lord Zhong Kui, didn't you say that there is another good thing to tell me?" ”

Lord Zhong Kui answered, and then laughed out loud and said, "Why did this official almost forget about this matter!" ”

After Lord Zhong Kui finished speaking, he took out a document from his body and quickly stood up. said: "Lord Qin takes the order!" ”

I didn't react for a while, I stared blankly at Lord Zhong Kui.

Lord Zhong Kui said to me: "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly stand up and accept the order!" ”

When I came back to my senses, I didn't delay. stood up directly, bowed his hand to Lord Zhong Kui and said, "Your Majesty takes the order!" ”

Lord Zhong Kui began to read it and said, "By the will of King Hades, Lord Qin has made great contributions in Huanghe County. Now it is specially promoted to Huaiyin Xiaosi Palace! Chin this! ”

I was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this, and Lord Zhong Kui hurriedly urged me to say, "Lord Qin, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and accept the order!" ”

Lord Zhong Kui had a smile on his face.

I soon said, Your Majesty has taken the order!

Lord Zhong Kui handed me the documents of the underworld, and Lord Zhong Kui looked at me with satisfaction and said, "Lord Qin, do you know? ”

"Know what?"

"Over the years, you have been promoted the fastest in this prefecture. Young and promising! I hope you don't live up to the expectations of the underworld! ”

I nodded, but didn't speak.

After Lord Zhong Kui read out the will, he also said to me: "When the time comes, if the prefecture sends someone to investigate the matter between you and the Dragon Palace, you just need to cooperate, as long as you are innocent, they will not embarrass you!" ”

I hummed and said I got it.

When Lord Zhong Kui left, he also said to me, after receiving the order, he would hurry up and go to Huaiyin City to take office, you know?

I hummed.

After sending off Lord Zhong Kui, the courtyard was quiet again, and Qi Yao, who had been by my side and didn't speak, had been beside me just now. At this time, a touch of worry surged on my face, and I said to Qi Yao, "Don't worry." It's going to be fine! ”

Qi Yao knew my identity, and when she heard the conversation between me and Lord Zhong Kui just now, it was inevitable that she would worry about me.

I grabbed Qi Yao's hand and said, "It's also late." It's time for us to go back to sleep. ”

Qi Yao nodded, but looking at Qi Yao's expression, it was still a little unsightly.

Qi Yao and I walked towards the house and soon lay down in the room. I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly the sound of rain sounded outside.

It was going to be down, the windows were blown by the wind, I was awakened from my sleep, I got out of bed, I was about to close the window, but as soon as I got out of bed, suddenly a lightning bolt flashed in front of my eyes. There was a boom, followed by a muffled thunderbolt.

I almost got scared.

I'm also the new king of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, and I didn't know that it was raining so heavily. No one told me either.

My hand touched the window, and when I was about to close it, suddenly a lightning flash flashed outside, and this lightning bolt fell, and suddenly the dark sky shone like dawn.

For a moment, I saw a figure standing in the water outside.

I don't know if I'm wrong, but when the lightning faded away, the night returned to darkness.

I quickly rubbed my eyes to see if there was anyone outside, and when I looked again, I saw that in the darkness, there was indeed a shadow standing in the rain.

And in the next second, he called out my name.

When the voice calling out my name fell, suddenly another lightning flashed, and it just so happened that I could see his appearance clearly with the help of this lightning, and my heart suddenly hung in my throat.
