Tiankeng Town, the city lord's mansion, although it was midnight, it was not lit. The chief guard Shangguan Yan was still in straight shape, but the conspicuous silver power suit had been changed into a brown robe since he returned from the Xishan hut that day, so that his subordinates had to change out of the proud silver suit.

Escort Yan walked to the door of the room, bowed down and said, "City Lord, you can go." Shangguan He noticed that this nephew's clothes had not only changed, but his right hand was no longer caressing the shoulder knife on his waist, he smiled slightly, and walked out with his chin bowed.

On the avenue, four or five brown-clothed guards escorted two carriages slowly northward, the two carriages were exactly the same, and a yellow wooden plaque with the word Shangguan was hung on the north corner of the roof.

Shangguan Yan rode a horse to lead the way, his face did not show the laziness of the past, he knew that today's guards were young to avoid attracting attention, but each of the guards was the elite of the mansion. He also knew that there were scouts within 5,000 kilometers of the convoy, and there were white eagles hovering in the sky. There were also two other masters who came from Sand City to secretly assist. And all this is so that she can reach her destination safely. The girl in the car is definitely very important, just looking at the uncle and father's escort this time is not trivial.

A few days after this girl recuperated, her uncle couldn't wait to send her to Shacheng after seeing that she was generally fine. To be honest, he had never seen his uncle so nervous and cautious when he was so old. Fortunately, there was no danger along the way, and ten days later, the team finally arrived at the end of the trip, Shacheng, the lord of Shazhou.

Since ancient times, Shenzhou has been divided into five major states, namely Shazhou in the northwest, Yanzhou in the northeast, Luozhou in the middle, Rongzhou in the southwest and Huzhou in the southeast. Each state has its own main city, such as the main city of Luozhou is Luocheng, the main city of Rongzhou is Landu, and the main city of Shazhou is Shacheng, and the lord of the main city is called the lord of the city, which is not only the lord of the main city, but also the lord of the state, such as the lord of Los Angeles, Long Wei, is actually the lord of Luozhou.

The name of the lord of Shazhou is Shangguan Fengyun, and the Shangguan family has been in charge of Shazhou for countless years, with deep roots and rich talents, and Shangguan Fengyun is one of the leaders. This man is quite eloquent and strategic, and as soon as he took office, he began to lay out all sides. Tiankeng Town at the junction of the three states of Rongluosha was also preemptively laid out by it, and he sent his clan brother Shangguan He to manage it on the bright side, and specially appointed him as the city lord, which is also the only town in the Shenzhou Continent with a city lord. Of course, no one knows what the layout of the states is here.

Shangguan Fengyun stood on the wall of Shacheng, watching his clan brother come from afar, and couldn't help but think, "Tiankeng Town has been calm for so many years, and finally a clue has come, no wonder Brother He is so solemn." The claw dagger is a rare weapon in the world, but unfortunately it is not yet possible to enter the waterfall to investigate. But that girl can't even read Xiang Zu's mind, and it's a heavenly card. Brother He, as the son of the Shangguan family, it is time for you to know the situation in Shazhou."

In the shadow behind Shangguan Fengyun, an illusory black short figure stood with his hands down, Shangguan Fengyun walked down the city wall, and the shadow also walked down.

Shacheng, the side hall of the city lord's mansion, Shangguan He's uncle and nephew are changing clothes and washing. Shangguan He's face was radiant, and he couldn't see that he had been tired for more than ten days, he walked up to his nephew and said solemnly: "Yan'er, my Shangguan clan has 8,000 people, including more than 150 people at the city lord level outside Shacheng, plus the people who are directly subordinate to Shacheng, there are more than 200 people in the clan who are higher than the uncle's level. Therefore, being able to meet the city lord this time is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for my uncle and nephew, and the last time I met the city lord was more than ten years ago. You have to behave well later, and your uncle will take the opportunity to find you a place in Shacheng. Shangguan Yan said in a righteous voice: "Yes, uncle."

After a while, a person knocked on the door and said, "Crane City Lord, the city lord has an invitation, please come with me": "Oh, it's coming, it's coming." Shangguan He's uncle and nephew checked each other again, sorted it out again, and then opened the door and followed the waiter.

The Shacheng City Lord's Mansion is spacious and square, and the architectural style is slightly rough, and the three of them walked about two pillars of incense before they walked to the place where Shangguan Fengyun received them - Quicksand Garden, which is also Shangguan Fengyun's favorite place on weekdays.

This garden covers a wide area and is self-contained, as soon as you enter the park, it is a long yellow sand, today coincides with the sun shining, the breeze blows, the yellow sand flies, it seems to really come to the desert in the west of Shazhou. In the middle of the yellow sand is a small three-story building, in front of the building

There is a clear spring, shaped like a crescent moon, and the water surface is sparkling in the breeze.

When the attendant came downstairs, he bowed down and stood in, and went no further. Shangguan He was about to report the performance, and a person upstairs said softly: "Brother He, come up to the third floor." Shangguan's uncle and nephew bowed and saluted, and slowly walked up, although the doors of the first and second floors were also open, but the uncle and nephew did not dare to squint, and walked straight to the third floor.

The rooms on the third floor are smaller, surrounded by open windows, and contain only a coffee table and a few low stools. On the coffee table is a set of tea sets and an old purple book. Shangguan Yan saw a middle-aged man standing by the window, smiling at his uncle and nephew and Hexi.

Shangguan He rushed up, knelt on the ground and said: "Shangguan He, the head of Tiankeng Town, see the city lord." Shangguan Yan also quickly knelt down, and said loudly: "Shangguan Yan, the chief guard of Tiankeng Town, see the city lord." Shangguan Fengyun said in a harmonious voice: "Get up, get up." Your uncle and nephew have been running around for days, and if you are tired, sit down! As he spoke, he sat down first. Shangguan He got up and sat down on the other side and beckoned his nephew to sit beside him. Shangguan Yan has long heard that Shangguan is majestic and strategic, and has always thought of him as a peerless person, but he never expected to be an ordinary middle-aged man with yellow clothes and a yellow face.

Shangguan Fengyun said while fiddling with the tea set: "This tea is from Yuecheng, try it." As he spoke, he began to pour tea for the two of them. Shangguan He was frightened, and wanted to kneel in fear but was stopped by Shangguan Fengyun reaching out. Shangguan Fengyun said unhappily: "Don't be so restrained and polite, drinking tea is to be calm." Shangguan He calmed down, took the teacup and took a sip, there was a slight smell of sand, and then there was a sweet smell through his mouth and nose, and he couldn't help but say sincerely: "City Lord, this tea is wonderful!" "Haha, you've got it." Shangguan Fengyun was quite pleased, turned his head to Shangguan Yan and said, "Yan Guard, what do you think?" Shangguan Yan didn't drink any good taste, and thought for a moment before replying: "Xiaguan thinks the sweet taste is very good, but this sandy smell is slightly unaccustomed. It's just that the subordinate officials are vulgar and difficult to taste. Shangguan Fengyun did not comment, got up and walked to the window, looking downstairs.

Shangguan He hurriedly took his nephew to stand behind Shangguan Fengyun. The two of them also looked out the window, there was a crescent moon spring in front of the building, willow trees were planted all over the water's edge, and the clear spring water and tender willow buds were in stark contrast to the yellow sand and scorching sun.

Shangguan Fengyun said slowly: "My Shangguan clan was born in the extreme west, and then was driven to the east by the sand and dust, and there were countless deaths and injuries in the migration of thousands of miles. When they arrived near Deshenzhou, they were already withered, and the oil was exhausted. Fortunately, the ancestors found a spring, which was abundant and sweet. More than 80 people who escaped death regained their lives with this spring, they farmed, planted tea and made porcelain, and my Shangguan clan gradually grew, and the tea set used for the tea you tasted just now is the origin of Yuecheng. Three thousand years ago, the ancestor Shangguan Louyue created the Purple Breath Divine Skill, and my Shangguan clan had a foothold in Shacheng. After several generations of hard work, my Shangguan family finally became the lord of Shazhou, and it has been 19 generations so far. Shangguan Fengyun paused, and Shangguan He's uncle and nephew lowered their hands and listened quietly.

Shangguan Fengyun continued: "This quicksand garden is built according to the appearance of the spring back then, which is the world-famous Moon City Crescent Spring. The world only knows that the Crescent Spring is a desert wonder, and how many people know that it is the lifeblood foundation of my Shangguan family. Although my Shangguan clan is the 19th ruler of Shazhou, Shazhou has always been poor and weak, and among the five states, it can only protect itself and cannot compete for power. Only this tea in the city of the moon can be seen clues, the tea planted by my ancestors, the utensils made, not only failed to reach the states, but now even the descendants of the Shangguan family have long been accustomed to the things of other states, completely ignorant of the extraordinary things of Shazhou, the world no longer knows the taste of Shacha. The words were very regretful. Shangguan He's uncle and nephew knelt down violently when they heard this, and Shangguan Yan was even more cold sweat on his forehead. "Of course, this can't be blamed on the juniors" Fortunately, Shangguan Fengyun was not angry. He only said: "Two years ago, the secret report of the moon city said that the wind and sand in the west had intensified, and the property of the moon city had plummeted, and in two years, the crescent spring water had been less than half of what it used to be. If this continues, within five years, not only will the crescent moon cease to exist, but the moon city will also be reduced to sand. The 42 cities in the western part of Shazhou have little rain and little wood, and now they are even more dangerous to desertification. When Shangguan He's uncle and nephew suddenly heard this secret, they couldn't help but sweat again, and they couldn't make a sound.

Shangguan Fengyun took a sip of the already cold sand tea, and said: "Shayan Rongluohu five states, Yanzhou has many people, Rongzhou is rich, Luozhou is prosperous in commerce and trade, and Huzhou is even more rich and prosperous. In recent years, the above four states have made great progress, if I wait for things to move, then not only will there be the foundation of the ancestors, but also will put more than 3,000 people in the Shangguan family in the mouth of the tiger and wolf. Shangguan Fengyun turned around and threw his sleeves, stared at Shangguan He tightly and said: "Lord of Crane City, you and I are both of Shangguan bloodline, and at this time, we have really returned to the situation where our ancestors were angry to survive. Shangguan He felt the same way, but he didn't know how to answer. Shangguan Fengyun said again: "The Tiankeng Town where your uncle and nephew are stationed is not only well-informed, but also guards the secrets of the Great Waterfall. This time, your uncle and nephew intercepted the clue of the sheep's horn dagger, which is a great achievement. With that, Shangguan Fengyun walked to the coffee table and picked up the old purple book and handed it to Shangguan He, and said: "Since the founding of the ancestor of Lou Yue, the purple breath magic skill of my Shangguan clan has been supplemented and improved by dozens of generations of ancestors in the past three thousand years, and now it can be compared with the heroes of the world. In this time of crisis, it is time to change the rules of practice. I will give you a copy of this Purple Breath Gong volume, and I will teach your uncle and nephew to Xiang Zu. After the rollover, I will take the opportunity to hand over the next volume to you. Although Tiankeng Town is small, its forces are huge, and you must gather all parties at the right time to secretly build up forces for future needs. Shangguan He was in tears, hugging the old book tightly, and Shangguan Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, also had moist eyes and a face full of excitement.
