Tang opened the window to allow a breeze to blow into the classroom, so that her tablemate Shen Fangli's body and mind could be soothed. Since yesterday, Shen Fangli has been in this anxious state, which makes her very worried.

Originally, Tang Xuancheng thought that they would definitely be able to bring the black-hearted mayor to justice, but they didn't expect that they were still plotted, and only Shen Fangli was released. After learning what had happened, she guessed that maybe Lumond had deliberately released Shen Fangli in order to lure other insiders about the fire at the Orphin orphanage.

Shen Fangli was anxious to rescue her friends as soon as possible, and she asked Tang Xuancheng to give her an idea, and if Tang Xuancheng stopped her on the grounds of not acting rashly, she would go to the mayor's mansion alone.

"No, it's too dangerous to do this, so let's talk to the teacher first. ”

In the self-study class, Tang Xuantang's countermeasure was to notify the head teacher of Class A of the Sword and Spell Department first, believing that the college could come up with a way to rescue the students.

But Shen Fangli obviously didn't approve of this, because the longer the time dragged on, the slimmer the chances of survival for the three of them became.

"Then at least let me go with you, they are also my friends. Seeing Shen Fangli's resolute attitude, Tang Xuancheng knew that she couldn't stop her, so she had to soften her tone and persuade.

"I feel guilty enough for not being able to rescue the three of them, how can I still let you accompany me on an adventure?" Shen Fangli stroked Tang Xuantang's hand and shook her head vigorously, "This matter started because of me, and it should be resolved by me." ”

Shen Fangli spoke louder with excitement, causing the classmates to turn their attention to her and Tang Xuantang, and some boys asked her loudly what happened. She had no choice but to smile awkwardly, say nothing, and then lowered her head and winked at Tang Xuantang, meaning to ask her to keep the secret.

Seeing that Shen Fangli couldn't be persuaded by Tang Xuancheng, she had to sigh helplessly, but this did not mean that she had to give up her plan to go with Shen Fangli to save people.

Just as Tang was thinking about what to do, there was a gentle knock on the classroom door, and a student in a senior school uniform poked his head out of the door.

"May I ask if Shen Fangli is here? The principal is looking for you to come to his office. ”

Shen Fangli nodded and stood up from her seat, and then followed the senior student out of the classroom.

After about two minutes, Tang Xuantang, who was sure that the two of them were far away, felt that something was wrong, if there was nothing important, Principal Znock would not casually invite students into his office, did Mr. Principal already know about it? She thought it necessary for her to follow Shen Fangli and see what Mr. Principal would say to Shen Fangli.

So Tang Yucheng carefully avoided the eyes of the classmates and walked in the direction of the principal's office.

Znock's office is in a very prominent place at the end of the hallway, with a view of everything through the delicate glass windows. At first, this design was designed to allow the principal to handle the affairs of the college efficiently, but it also made it easier for Tang Yucheng to peep.

When Shen Fangli walked into the room, Tang Xuancheng hid sideways to the side of the windowsill, listening carefully to the movements in the office. She glanced at Shen Fangli's location and found that there was another man in the principal's office besides the principal.

The man was dressed in a military uniform with more than a dozen medals, and sat in the guest seat with his fingers intersected, and a pair of black eyes unique to the Belen people were staring at Shen Fangli, and when she sat down on the seat opposite her, the man leaned back on the seat, touched his short beard, and greeted her in a soldier's tone.

"Are you Miss Shen Fangli? I am Colonel Gomer, and I am here to find you today to find out some news about Mayor Lumond, I have already learned from Dean Lan Yifan that Mr. Mayor was identified as a suspect in the arson case of the Orfinn Orphanage by Lin Yantian, the president of the branch of the Langtian Adventure Group, so I hope you can also cooperate, I am personally ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to investigate the case of this person's embezzlement of government money. ”

Znock stopped pacing and chimed in, "Fangli-san, you just tell the Colonel everything you know, and now only he can help you." ”

Shen Fangli sighed lightly to soothe her mood: "That man took my friend. ”

"Your friend...... Who?"

"Liu Yuhan and Mu Yunxi. Shen Fangli paused and continued, "Originally, we asked Lin Yantian as a client to help investigate the fire in the Orfen orphanage, but in the mayor's mansion, we were plotted, both of them were arrested, and only I was released. ”

In other words, these two students didn't come to the academy today because they were locked up. Seeing Shen Fangli nodded, Znok turned to Gomer, "I will check with the relevant teachers about this matter, Mr. Colonel, you continue to ask." ”

Gommel pulled a notebook and a pen out of his coat pocket, and he turned a new page: "Please describe to me in detail, what you saw in the mayor's mansion, I need more evidence of Lumond's corruption." ”

Shen Fangli tried to recall what she saw when she first arrived at the official residence of Panhu City, with brilliant bronze statues, golden stone pillars, and lifelike rockeries...... She sorted this into fluent language and told Gomel truthfully, after all, she was also the daughter of the "mayor" in the island, and she knew very well what the specifications of the official residence were considered corruption.

Gomel asked, taking notes on a piece of paper: "Are you sure that the stone pillars in the hall are carved from white jade, and what else did you find before you entered the reception room?"

"I remember a room with a black door, guarded by soldiers. Shen Fangli clenched her hands, "Later, we were all arrested by the mayor's secret room, and the underground prison of the mayor's official residence is very large, and many political criminals are imprisoned. ”

Znock shrugged his shoulders and turned to Gommel and said, "Mr. Colonel, what are you going to do with Lumond?"

"The old fox Lumond is cunning and will use his power to cover up his crimes, but he will soon be punished by the law. Gomel stood up and shook hands with Shen Fangli, "Thank you for the information you provided me, I have to arrest Lumond with my army, and you don't have to worry about the rest of the matter." ”

"But my friends, they are still in prison by Lumond. ”

"Don't worry about this, I promise to help you rescue them. ”

Shen Fangli was about to open her mouth to tell Gomel more information about Liu Yuhan and Mu Yunxi, but Gomel waved her hand to stop her, and instead put on white gloves and turned around and left the principal's office.

"Professor Znock, this is not good, the students of our academy have been captured, can you rest assured that an outsider will deal with it? Not to mention that he is still a soldier, and capturing Lumond is his first priority. Not long after Colonel Gomel left, Shen Fangli frowned, turned to Znok anxiously, and expressed his worries.

"That's the only way to do it now. ”

Shen Fangli bit her lower lip, Gomer's promise and Znock's answer obviously did not satisfy her, what if Mondstadt used her friend as a threat and refused to surrender and confess? She also had to tell Lin Yaoxi the news of Lin Yantian's arrest as soon as possible, and try to prevent this girl from rescuing her father, how to be specific is a key, she doesn't want anyone to be in danger because of herself.

After a while, Shen Fangli, who had planned everything in her heart, saluted Znok, and then left the principal's office.

Shen Fangli tried her best to avoid the crowded aisles, walked in the opposite direction of the self-study room, and nodded and smiled kindly when she met the teachers who came and went, lying that she had left something in the dormitory. When I meet classmates I know, I make many excuses to avoid the suspicion of the other party.

The main entrance of the school gate is still guarded by a security guard, and if you want to pass, you must show the release slip written by the principal, but just now in the principal's office, Znock had already made it clear that she would not let Shen Fangli interfere in this matter, so she had to think of another way to leave the academy.

There is a section of the half-broken wall in the west of the academy, which is said to have been inadvertently caused by a student in the spell casting training, the location of the broken wall is relatively remote, few people have found it, Shen Fangli also eavesdropped on it from a few gangster-looking boys, beyond the broken wall is the Tilma Street adjacent to the Illanises Royal Academy, this is the most spacious street in Panhu City, and it doesn't take long to take a carriage from here to Leonte Street.

Shen Fangli, who came to the broken wall, heard the sound of horns and the noise of people coming from outside the wall, she guessed that a large-scale event must be being held in the city, and now she can't care so much, she looked around a few times, and after confirming that there was no one around, she lifted her skirt with her hand, carefully stepped over the broken wall, and came outside the academy.

Shen Fangli, who had climbed over the wall, had just cleaned his clothes, and was shocked by everything in front of him, where was this event being held, and there was a real imperial army walking along Tilma Street.

The swords hidden in their scabbards rested against their chests, their eyes always fixed on the front, and the crowd of onlookers seemed to them as if they did not exist, and the soldiers were all dressed in red military uniforms and yellow military trousers, which were the colors of the flag of the Lobelon Empire, symbolizing that they were always ready to serve their country.

Shen Fangli struggled to squeeze out of the crowd, wanting to see this army more clearly, many people had mentioned to her the excellent combat effectiveness of the imperial army before, and it really looked a little like it when she saw it today, but the irony was that the Lobelen Empire, which had so many excellent soldiers, lost the war.

The size of this army made Shen Fangli have two judgments in his heart: first, Colonel Gomel had already taken action, although he was still in the academy, there was no doubt that this was his army. Second, judging from the current traffic situation on Tilma Street, it is impossible to go to Lionte Street by horse-drawn carriage, and she must rush to the branch of the Langtian Adventure Group on foot as fast as possible and tell Lin Yaoxi all the news.

So Shen Fangli anxiously pushed through the crowd, trying to find a shortcut, perhaps she was too focused and didn't notice that not far behind her, a gray-haired girl with a single ponytail wearing glasses was following her.

That person was none other than Tang Xuantang, who had overheard all the conversations outside the principal's office and decided to protect Shen Fangli secretly.

But there were too many people on the street, and at a corner, Tang Xuancheng was hit by a man with a strong body, and when she raised her head in the next second, she found that Shen Fangli had disappeared into the crowd.

In the place of that was a middle-aged man with a bearded face, Tang Zhicheng had seen this person, if she remembered correctly, this person was Cao Yintian, the owner of the Snow Dove Restaurant, why did he appear in this place, and his expression was so flat that it made people feel hairy.

"Oh, isn't this Miss Tang? You don't seem to have been in my store with Fangli for a long time lately, what's wrong? Look at your anxious expression, what's going on?"

Cao Yintian changed back to his usual expression and asked Tang Xuantang, but it didn't make her feel much intimacy.

"Fangli is going to save her friends alone, and I'm worried that something will happen to her, so I'm going to help her. ”

Tang Xuancheng just wanted to bypass Cao Yintian and move forward, but Cao Yintian blocked her way and suppressed his smile.

"No, you can't go...... I won't let you stand in the way of the Holy Maiden!"

"Mr. Storekeeper, when did you start calling Fang Li like that? That's how the Heavenly Zhao Sect sanctioners are called. Tang Yutang vaguely felt that something was not right.

But it was too late, and I saw Cao Yintian's right hand swing out of thin air, and said, "Wind Blade." Tang Xuantang's neck splattered with blood, as if it had been cut by an invisible knife.

"You...... Cao Yintian...... Why ......"

"I'm sorry, I never had that name!"

After leaving this sentence, Cao Yintian disappeared out of thin air.

Suddenly, there was a scream, apparently a woman who had found Tang Xuantang lying in a pool of blood.
