It stands to reason that the mountains of a mortal country can have any secrets, but if there are no secrets, how can they attract Tian Yuan masters to go?

Jin Cheng is a vassal of Zhou Tianzong, but if there is a huge secret, how can Zhou Tianzong not know?

"And I hadn't heard of him having a daughter, but it was incomprehensible that he was on the road with a little girl. Zhou Yang only mentioned the little girl before, and everyone didn't take it to heart, but Wu Changan raised questions about it.

Bai Meng and Wu Changan followed Zhou Yang to inspect Jie Street, for about half a month, Wu Changan gave him the impression that he was always taciturn, extremely ordinary, and never found anything outstanding about him, but today's just a few words show that he sees the far-reaching nature of the problem.

"I think, just go to Mochizuki Ridge, there's no point in me waiting for such a blind guess. Linghu Deyi said, his suggestion was very bold.

"I think it's okay, it just so happens that Fan Yuan is out on errands, and it is estimated that there will be no other Tianyuan cultivators in the Ling. To everyone's surprise, Song Laohu, who usually looks down on Linghu Deyi the most, actually agreed with his statement.

"Then I'll have to go back, what should I do about this inspection of Wu Haiguo?" Xing'er reminded.

"And the Three Tiger Generals, if he is a Tianyuan cultivator, he must have seen the identity of us, if he turns around at this time, will he be suspicious?" Hu Zhiran frowned.

"Is it necessary to provoke a Tian Yuan cultivator for no reason? Besides, does he have any secrets to do with me? We are here to avoid trouble, if we cause trouble again, where will we go?"

Zhong Ming has always been obsessed with the matter of Zhou Yang and Xing'er, and he said it politely, implying that Zhou Yang is a troublemaker, who has been sent to a mortal country, and he has to invite disasters.

"Brother Zhong's words are wrong, we have to check both public and private, and besides, this person has already seen the identity of our cultivators, if he has bad intentions, it is better to take precautions as soon as possible, so I think it is necessary to find out the details. Ling Hu Deyi retorted.

Although he only talked about Fan Yuan, everyone could see the intention of supporting Zhou Yang.

"What Brother Linghu said is very true. Yu Gong, Zhou Tianzong and Tianxing Gate are one, someone is plotting secrets in Zhou Tianzong's subordinate country, we should also check it. For private reasons, it is a matter of our safety, and it is indeed necessary to investigate. ”

Zhou Yangzheng had the intention of exploring, so he also hit the snake with the stick, and followed Linghu Deyi's words.

Although this plan is bold, there are many of them, and they still have the strength to explore.

"What the fourth brother said is right, I am in favor of checking it out. Song Laohu naturally agreed with Zhou Yang's opinion.

"I agree. "Tiehu didn't have a second word.

"Agreed. Apricot raised her hand.

There were two camps in the group, and there were four people who firmly supported Zhou Yang.

Wu Changan, who had just spoken, closed his mouth at this time, although he was a disciple of the original Xuanfu Sect, he should be facing Zhong Ming, but he had a good relationship with Bai Mengdu and Zhou Yang, and he had fought together, and the relationship between the two sides was very close, so it was not good to express his opinion at this time.

Zhong Ming's face was a little ugly, he was opposed by so many people as soon as he made a suggestion, and he was naturally in a bad mood, so he looked at Hu Zhiran and Pu Zheng.

"What is there to check, he took his Yangguan Road, I crossed my single-plank bridge, why bother to cause trouble!" Before Hu Zhiran and Pu Zheng could express their opinions, Lin Cheng took the lead in speaking, while Wang Dahai and Liu Wen also nodded yes.

Zhong Ming was overjoyed, and finally someone supported his opinion, and there were three people who came up, and they were half a pound and eight taels with Zhou Yang at this time.

Hu Zhiran was also very embarrassed, although he also had some complaints about Zhou Yang and Xing'er, but the stakes were very high, and he must not be rash.

Pu Zheng's thoughts are similar to his, this matter is not trivial, needless to say, Yu Gong is still far away from them, but Yu Zheng also needs to investigate. And they are similar to Zhou Yang's concerns, Fan Yuan is not in Wangyue Ridge, such a person goes to investigate, although there are some hidden dangers, but safety should not be a problem.

After thinking for a moment, Pu Zheng said: "Zhong Ming, what you said also has some truth, it doesn't matter, we can naturally leave." But I don't have the intention of committing a tiger, the tiger hurts people's hearts, if Fan Yuan has bad intentions, what should I do?

We can guess his identity, how can he not guess our thoughts? Perhaps at this time he already suspects that we have seen through his identity, and it is very possible to kill people and kill them. The consequences he envisioned were even more severe.

"What Captain Pu said is very true. We must not be careless, and it is best not to spread them out today in case something changes. Hu Zhiran nodded.

"This ......" Zhong Ming was still angry at first, but he was also a little surprised when he heard this.

He objected to the previous proposal, purely because Zhou Yang was unpleasant, it was just a battle of will, but what Pu Zheng and the two said was not unreasonable, and the situation was indeed a bit serious.

In other words, if he is hit by someone and breaks a good deed, he will also have the heart to kill people.

When Lin Cheng and the three of them heard this, their hearts were all in shock.

Zhou Yang secretly admired the foresight of Pu Zheng and Hu Zhiran, it seems that Jiang is still old and spicy.

So he continued: "The words of the two captains, Pu and Hu, are quite reasonable, and the heart of guarding against others must be indispensable. Today, we will wait and see what happens, and if there is no movement, we will continue to move forward tomorrow. As for when to visit Mochizuki Ridge, I think we need to think about Zhou Xiang before making a decision. Of course, this matter should not be done sooner or later, and it will not be easy to handle after Fan Yuan returns. ”

"Brother Zhou is right, we shouldn't rush there now, so as not to arouse Fan Yuan's suspicion. Linghu Deyi said.

"And when are you going to investigate?" asked Bai Meng.

"I'll just make arrangements tonight, and I'll act tomorrow when the opportunity comes. Wu Changan proposed.

"Good morning arrangement. "Lin Cheng is straightforward, since everyone is right, then the arrangement is.

"Brother Zhou, you can arrange it. Hu Zhiran and Pu Zheng glanced at each other and said.

"Yes, fourth brother, you can arrange it. "Song Laohu is nominally the third master, but according to his strength, Zhou Yang is the first, and he also discovered Fan Yuan's abnormality, so Tiger is like this.

Zhong Ming and the others closed their mouths and acquiesced.

"Thank you for your trust, then I will take it upon myself to be the Lord, and I will correct you if it is inappropriate. Zhou Yang is not hypocritical, holding his fists.

"Since Fan Yuan is a cultivator, then he understands the pattern of Dingbei City, and it is estimated that he knows very well that we are sect disciples who have come to inspect, so they should not easily provoke us and others, and the previous inspection disciples have never had an accident to support this conclusion.

However, the worries of the two captains Pu and Hu are also very necessary, and the fact that there was nothing before does not mean that there is nothing to do today. Just in case, we'll gather here to watch what happens, and be ready to respond at any time.

Tonight, the four late-stage cultivators of the Lingtai were divided into two groups to guard the door, and the others were also divided into two groups, one on guard, one on rest, alternating vigilance, and taking turns. If there is something, we are not muddy, so we naturally have to fight with him.

If nothing happens, I will wait a hundred miles east early tomorrow morning, so as not to arouse his suspicions. After a hundred miles, we will turn to the south, there is a prefecture city, I will wait in the prefecture for a while, if there is nothing unusual, and then turn to Chengtian County. Until the crisis is resolved, we must not act separately, and we will gather the strength to fight, and if we are separated, we will be defeated by each other. ”

Previously, Zhou Yang looked at Jin Chengguo's map in detail, and also had a certain understanding of the terrain and route, so he made the above decision.

"Okay, if it's okay, I'll go back tomorrow and check his lair!" Song Laohu was the first to agree.

"Okay. The crowd had no opinion.

"Okay, that's it. Captain Pu and I will take turns first, and the rest of you will go and rest first. ”

Nothing happened that night, and there was a false alarm,

On the second day, the group rode their horses and whips all the way east.

I don't know if Fan Yuan has moved at this time, they naturally won't go to investigate, it is similar to looking for death.

In a small forest about 100 miles away from Yuntian County, Zhou Yang and the others stopped, stopped and discussed for a while, and then restarted on the road, the direction was due south.

Along the way, Zhou Yang continued to use his divine sense to probe backwards, but fortunately, he didn't find any trace of Fan Yuan.

The road to Fucheng is a bit difficult to walk, and you have to cross a large river. Of course, the great river of the world is not that big.

The name of this river is Chaoyang, but it is hundreds of miles long and more than 100 zhang wide, which is similar to the Ziyang River in Tuyan City.

However, the scenery of Chaoyang River is still good. In the early spring, everything recovers, and the river has melted, flowing quietly from west to east.

The willows on both sides of the strait are fresh and green, the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, and there are bursts of the fragrance of young buds, a vibrant scene.

An arch bridge in the river flies north and south, there are actually several pavilions on the bridge, the eaves are arched, the carved beams are painted, the shape is like a dangerous building in the air.

Looking at this bridge from afar, hanging on the river, such as a dragon and a rainbow, the weather is beginning to begin, but it is quite powerful, and the apricots are a little stupid for a while. Who said that there is no beautiful scenery in the mortal world, and there is a picturesque place in front of you.

The crowd also paused for a moment on the bridge, and then rode their horses and galloped southward.

Hundreds of miles, the journey through a lot of villages and towns, different from the previous beauty, most of these villages and towns are a little dilapidated and desolate, along the way also found a lot of begging beggars, among them there are many little beggars who are not clothed, some are still barefoot, gusts of wind blow, shivering from the cold.

Xing'er relented, stopped and distributed some dried meat to them, and asked Zhou Yang and others for some clothes to distribute to those little beggars, attracting thousands of thanks from the beggars.

Zhou Yang asked why these people came out to beg for food, and an old man with a blue face told the reason.

Spring is the most difficult time for the countrymen, this season is not green, the little grain stored in the winter and March has been eaten up, and the new grain has not been beaten down, it is the most difficult time, some villages and towns have not yet reached the early spring to flee the famine to ask for food.

More than half of the grain laid in the autumn has been paid rent, and it has to be handed over to the government for various taxes, and there is not much grain left in the year, and the whole winter must be fed with dried wild vegetables, otherwise they will already starve early.

This is still a normal time, and if there is a disaster year, they will not be able to live anymore, and they will often starve to death.
