Qianqi and Lingyu left the inner hall of Yuheng together, and were about to go outside the palace to find other clues, when a demon servant from the Auxiliary Star Hall reported that a guest had come to Dongyao Water City, and he had been waiting for him at the elder Ouyang Yong for a long time.

They hurriedly followed the demon servant to the Auxiliary Star Palace, and walked through the main hall and the corridor to Ouyang Yong's room. Behind the plum blossom screen, Sanmu was talking to Ouyang Yong. He was still dressed in the most modest manner, not fitting with the status of the Amber Dragonlord's proudest subordinate, and it seemed that he had been wandering for so many days that his hair and clothes were covered with a lot of dust, and the straw hat he always wore was on the case next to him, and the edges were tattered in some places.

Seeing Qianqi, Sanmu bounced up from his seat excitedly, saluted and said, "Young master! ”

"Sanmu, don't be polite!" Qianqi stepped forward and sat down with Sanmu, who had been watched by him all the time, like his relatives.

"I came this time to tell you something important, but unfortunately Lord Demon King Fox is not in the palace at the moment, and I am in a hurry to leave, so I will tell the young master that you still have Lord Yong." After Sanmu took his seat, he directly told the main purpose of his trip to Qianqi.

"Okay, you say!" Qianqi was also curious about what made Sanmu dusty and rushed all the way here.

"You probably all know the rare metal that cryptopine is abundant, right? This metal is arguably the hardest of all metals and is often used to make weapons. Sanmu frowned and said, seeing that what he was about to say was so serious.

"How could I not know this, the significance of building Hidden Pine City back then was to use the metal in that place to build weapons for our army!" Ouyang Yong responded.

"Recently, there has been a lot of smuggling out of this rare metal and shipping it out. I sent many of my men to inquire about possible news related to Qingyun, but this one worried me the most, and I felt that I had to come and report it immediately. Mime continued.

"You mean Qingyun is building his own army?!" Qianqi couldn't help but interrupt Sanmu's words.

"I mean, if his purpose is to build weapons for his own army, then mining this technology on such a large scale means that he must have gathered a considerable army." Three eyes and one sentence to explain the meaning.

"Whether there is a specific movement of these metals, if it is really a large number, it should be easy to detect." Ouyang Yong asked.

"Here's the problem, the men I sent out to investigate the matter further have all been wiped out, and the news has not been fed back to me before I can get the news. In a hurry, I had no choice but to go out in person! Sanmu said with some sadness, and he couldn't help but think of his fallen men, who had followed him for a long time, and who had been very effective and loyal.

Unexpectedly, he once again quietly formed his own army...... And the most frightening thing is that we are completely unaware. Ouyang Yong suddenly felt worried.

"Wait, I think someone must know something about this, but I don't know if he will tell us." Qianqi said suddenly with an idea.

"You mean......" Ouyang Yong had already guessed who he was referring to.

"That's right, it seems that although he has left Qingyun, such a large-scale army was never built overnight, why didn't he mention such an important thing?! There must be something wrong with this! Qianqi nodded and said.

"Hehe, didn't you think of it! Stupid dragon, you also have smart times! Ling Yu also felt that Qianqi's words were indeed reasonable.

"Don't look down on me, huh! How could I not understand such a simple truth! Thousand Riders glanced at him.

"If you want to get something out of that mouth, you can't do it, you can only rely on Xia Qiu." Ouyang Yong twisted his beard and said.

"That's all I know for the time being, and I'll report the rest until I investigate further! Then, Lord Yong, young master, I will take my leave first! Sanmu got up and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something again and said, "By the way, young master! Take the time to send a letter to Lord Amber Dragon King, he doesn't say it, but in his heart he has been looking forward to knowing more about your current situation! ”

Qianqi thought about it, instead of looking around for clues like looking for a needle in a haystack, it was better to follow Sanmu, he was very experienced in gathering intelligence, and many of his subordinates had just encountered accidents, and it was the time when manpower was needed.

So he said, "Sanmu, I'll follow you to investigate where those rare metals are being shipped." ”

"But I'm afraid this trip is quite dangerous, those of my men ......" Sanmu tried to persuade Qianqi to give up.

"I've seen all kinds of dangers, what else can you not worry about!" The determination of the thousand horsemen has been made.

"How can such an important task be without me, you are so stupid, you have to be here to remind and protect you!" Ling Yu saw that Qianqi was about to leave with Sanmu, and said hurriedly.

"Then ask Grandpa Yong to say goodbye to Xia Qiu and them on our behalf." Qianqi said directly to Ouyang Yong, lest Sanmu continue to persuade him to stay.

"I think it's better for them to follow you, this is also a learning process, there is no one in this demon world who is better at gathering intelligence than you, no matter what kind of clues can be accurately captured by you, and find out the ins and outs." Ouyang Yong also thought that it was not a good thing for Qianqi and Lingyu to follow Sanmu.

"Okay, Qianqi was originally my young master, and besides, Lord Yong also said so, how can I continue to shirk it. Just leave the two of them to me, and I'll fight for my life to keep them safe. Sanmu no longer refused, and said goodbye to Ouyang Yong with the two teenagers.

Xia Qiu rested in Chenji Palace for the night, and the next morning, Ouyang Xiaoleng came to see her, and he was relieved to see that her complexion had almost recovered.

On the first day, the fact that he brought Ran Mingzhu into the demon world somehow spread out. Inevitably, there was another uproar at this critical juncture, and he had no choice but to send her away in a hurry, leaving her to stay in Ouyang Ancient Mansion to look for information that might be useful from the information she had obtained from the manager of the Yujin Apartment.

And he himself first went to meet the prince and the royal raccoon who was under house arrest in the Chenji Palace, thinking that he could find out about Madame Lan from his mouth. But although the prince and the royal raccoon were chilled by being deceived by Lan Ruoqing's mother and son, his feelings for them still made it difficult for him to reveal anything more to Ouyang Xiaoleng.

Later, Ouyang Xiaoleng had no choice but to leave Chenji Palace and go to the Sparrow Hotel, because Madame Lan was the boss there, and he thought that maybe there were people who had dealt with her among the regular guests there.

The street where the Sparrow Inn is located is eerily quiet during the day, but there is still evidence of the previous day when guests were having fun here. The streets were littered with the vomit of drunken people, a lot of empty wine bottles, and even a few ornaments of the women who worked in the Fengyue establishment, perhaps because the whole street was too gray in tone, so those colorful things were so conspicuous.

The moment the door of the Sparrow Hotel was opened, Ouyang Xiaoleng felt as if he had entered another world, and he couldn't help but sigh that the sound insulation effect of the doors and windows of this hotel was really powerful. The lively atmosphere in the inn contrasts sharply with the desertion of the streets.

Some of the guests were chatting in the rows of chairs at the counter, mostly pipes or cigarettes, making the lobby a miasma, and many people were coming and going upstairs and downstairs.

He walked straight to the counter and shook the bell that had been placed on it. After waiting for about a minute or two, the boss ran down the stairs with a curse.

"The busier and more chaotic, the more chaotic and busy, I'm really unlucky, when will I be able to take care of a few powerful helpers?!"

As soon as he saw that the person who came was the Demon King Fox, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and just wanted to kneel on the ground, but saw Ouyang Xiaoleng glaring at him. He probably understood what he meant to keep quiet, so he nodded, motioned for him to wait, and then shouted upstairs, "Little flower! Little flowers! ”

"Yes, boss!" A young girl's voice quickly answered.

"You lazy thing, how long do you want to rub on it?! Come down and help me look at the counter! The innkeeper roared in displeasure, his voice completely overpowering the guests in the lobby.

"I'm sorry, boss!" A cat demon girl stumbled down, nodding and making amends to the boss.

The boss was about to raise his hand to slap her, but because Ouyang Xiaoleng was still present, he took back his raised hand, and said to Ouyang Xiaoleng with a flattering face at a very fast speed: "My lord, you come with me, if you have anything to say, let's talk slowly!" ”

"Hmm!" Ouyang Xiaoleng nodded in response.

When the innkeeper was about to leave the lobby, he yelled at the cat demon girl, "Xiaohua, tell your lazy brother to make the best tea for us!" If he can't do such a simple thing, then he can roll up tomorrow and get out, I'm not a shelter here, and I can't afford to raise idlers. ”

"Yes, yes!" The cat demon girl replied again and again, her eyes were full of fear, obviously she was bullied by this boss.

Ouyang Xiaoleng walked with the innkeeper to the back of the lobby and asked, "I haven't seen that girl last time, so you invited someone so soon?" ”

"Where is please, it is simply to take in! I just have a soft heart, and after the sister and brother moved in, I realized that they didn't have enough money to bring, so I asked them to stay here for the time being to help pay off the money they owed. That being said, I have to provide them with food and lodging, and besides, the two of them are useless. Alas...... Don't mention it! ”

"Oh!" Ouyang Xiaoleng sneered in his heart, this boss obviously got a cheap job and found two cheap coolies.

They came to the boss's own room, located at the back of the lobby, which looked very luxurious, not as shabby and shabby as the rest of the inn, and it was clear at a glance that the boss made a lot of money.
