The boardwalk is a path carved out of the mountainside, and some of the depressions have been covered with wooden planks.

Listening to the sound of the wheels running over the broken rocks and the wooden planks that were about to rot on the road, lying behind the ox cart and bumping all the way, coupled with the fact that last night, Chen Yin was already full of sleep.

On the contrary, Yingli is very energetic at the moment.

Since they went up the plank road, it has been an hour and a half now, and everything is calm.

"I think tonight will pass in such a peaceful way," Yingli lay beside Chen Yin, looking at the night sky without stars and moons, "Wait until dawn tomorrow, you will find a chance to talk to Xingji, how about it?"

Yingli didn't get an answer from Chen Yin.

He was about to touch him with his elbow, but he heard his cry.

Yingli sighed.

She originally had a lot to say about taking this opportunity to talk to Chen Yin - after all, after so long, the two finally had a real sense of solitude.

Looking at Chen Yin's tired appearance, although Yingli didn't feel sleepy, she still hugged him sideways, pillowed her head on his arm, and closed her eyes slightly.

**

On the side of the country of horses.

The five soul jades had already arrived in Beiyuan City earlier.

The lord of Chishui Mansion still did not tell the lord of the country that the rift point guarded by the Star Tower had dried up.

And she also knows that this matter can't be wrapped in paper after all.

In fact, it is estimated that even the lord of the country himself did not expect that he would really be able to bring all five soul jades back to the country of Ma Si in his lifetime.

Not to mention Shangguan Chishui.

"The lord of the building, there has been an influx of people who have come for the soul jade into the country, and the lord of the country has asked the Shaxing Tower and Tianluozhuang to join forces to monitor and limit their range of movement," the person sent by the palace relayed the order of the lord of the country, "Tianluozhuang is responsible for the main official road at the junction with the Central Plains, and the Shaxing Tower is responsible for the area in and around the Beiyuan City. ”

"Surveillance and restriction...... Chi Shui was glad that he didn't ask her about the rift, "What is the bottom line of 'restriction', and Bifeng and the Tianchi faction don't need to monitor anymore?"

"There is no bottom line, you can kill it, just don't do too much, you still have to put some people in the table, otherwise you will really implement those rumors that 'the soul jade is in the country of Masi', this is the last thing the lord of the country wants to see, as for Tianchi to send them, the lord of the country means, by now, they must have settled down, so the star tower only needs to bury one or two eyeliners. ”

Chi Shui secretly said in his heart: That is definitely not the last thing he wants to see.

"Okay, understood," Chi Shui changed the topic, "By the way, what did Tianluo Zhuang say, I heard that the soul jade has been brought back to Beiyuan City by the owner of the village, the lord of the country...... When will the Lord of the Kingdom need to use this rift?"

"The soul jade has indeed been brought back, but this matter is confidential and is not within the scope of the responsibility of the Star Covering Building, please don't inquire about it in the future. ”

Chi Shui blinked at this person.

The tone was not angry, but threatening: "Are you teaching me how to do it?"

"Don't dare. ”

"Don't you know that one of the innate duties of the Star Shade Tower is to guard that rift underground?"

The other party buried his head and hurriedly admitted his mistake: "Please forgive the landlord, I said the wrong thing." ”

"Then you can answer my question. Chishui said coldly.

"The derivative power among these five soul jades is extraordinary, and if you enter the soul indiscriminately, you may lose your life, so the kingdom will wait for the doctor Sun Yao, who made this jade, to come to Beiyuan City before he dares to start the matter of entering the soul derivation——"

This is great news for Chishui.

"I see, does the lord have anything else to explain?" Chi Shui waved his hand and leaned sideways on the side of the table.

"The last thing, please don't leave the Star Shade Building after arranging the matter, the lord of the country will come to visit today. ”

After the herald left, Chishui arranged the surveillance in place.

After that, she sat in her study all morning, cross-legged and wondering what the so-called 'visit' of the lord of the kingdom would be.

At this moment, a man flashed through her mind.

Chi Shui frowned suddenly, then covered his face with his hands, and sighed when he looked up to the sky: "That Qi Feng of the Dinghua faction...... Hey......"

After that day, the lord of the country came to the Star Covering Tower.

And things turned out to be as Chishui expected.

The lord of the country met with him alone in the study, and asked her bluntly: "Chishui, about the crack point of the town guard of the Star Tower, do you have something to hide from this king?"

It is clear that the lord of the kingdom already knows the truth.

Chishui shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "It's just that the water has dried up." ”

"When?"

Shangguan Chishui could feel the anger of the country lord.

"I don't know too much about the specifics, it should be when the Central Plains invaded us, and almost the entire Star Covering Tower was outside to defend against the enemy, so when I returned to Beiyuan City and found it, it was already dry," Shangguan Chishui pretended to be stupid and said, "I don't know much about Yanli, the water will dry up when it dries, and the crack point will still be there." ”

As soon as he heard Chishui say this, it was not easy for the lord of the country to be angry.

After a moment, he waved his hand helplessly: "The crack is gone." ”

"Did Qi Feng say it?"

"It's that woman, that's why the king himself came to ask you if you had such a thing. ”

Chishui slapped his forehead and made a statement of remorse: "It's because his subordinates are ineffective, thinking that it is just the loss of ground water, and he should have reported the situation earlier......"

"I don't blame you, this rejection of the enemy has really distracted you," the lord sighed, "Well, now that the soul jade has arrived in the hands of this king, it is okay to find only one more rift, just waiting for Sun Yao to come—this king does not believe that there is no second crack in this vast desert." ”

"That's to let Qi Feng help us find it?"

"Is it for you to look for it," the lord of the country got up and prepared to leave, "This king promised her, as long as she finds it, he will let her go, you and Tianyuqing together, you have to give this king to watch this person closely, this time there is no reason for people to escape, this king is not joking, understand?"

"Understood. ”
