"Uncle Lu?"

The person in front of him is the bald man with a fierce face that he saw when he first arrived in Wangcheng - Uncle Lu.

The difference is that at this time, he changed into a black dress, and his bald head was also wrapped in black cloth.

Lu Da was stunned for a moment, grinning wide, "Your Excellency actually knows my nickname, I'm really ashamed, my name is Lu Da, dare to ask the name of a strong man?" ”

Ruda? Boiled eggs?

After a short period of stunnedness, Ming Chen also arched his hand and said, "Under Chen Jing." ”

"Chen Zhuangshi, please come here." Lu Da took half a step to the side and made a gesture of please.

Secretly vigilant, Ming Chen did not suspect him on his face, took a step, and walked in the direction of the other party's hand.

He knew very well that Lu Da was a martial artist, and his strength was not low, he seemed to be vicious, but he did not have a violent aura, he should not be affected by demonic energy, and under comprehensive judgment, he was almost certain that he was a martial artist in the Tibetan realm.

The two walked two streets and stopped at a small river.

Compared to the wide surface of the Wangjiang River, this small river is narrower, less than five meters, but the depth is comparable to that of the Wangjiang River.

The shore is lush with flowers, willow trees, starlight, and sparkling rivers.

The two of them stood still by the river, quietly feeling the cool breeze blowing from the river.

Until.

"Huh?"

Ming Chen squatted down, picked up the river water, and his hand was cold, and the void mirror on his chest trembled slightly.

"Uncle Lu, this small river has nothing to do with Wangjiang."

Lu Da's expression was a little hesitant, it was like this all the way, and after hearing Ming Chen's words, he finally made up his mind.

"Don't hide it from Chen Zhuanghan, this is Wangzi River."

Just when Ming Chen was a little lost, his voice changed, "Although it is called Wangzi River, it really has nothing to do with Wangjiang. ”

Then, Lu Da's tone became a little low.

"This is still the name given by the city lord Wang, everyone thinks that it is a small river introduced by the Wangjiang River, but in fact it is not, it comes from a deeper leyline."

Underground river?

All of a sudden, Ming Chen thought of the key, but immediately there was a new problem.

How did the underground river appear on the ground?

He didn't dig deeper, but stood up and asked, "What did you bring me here for?" ”

Ke Luda didn't answer directly, and asked rhetorically: "Why did Chen Zhuangshi investigate Wang Ergou?" ”

"Find the truth about the disappearance of the people of Wangcheng." Ming Chen didn't think about it, he was very calm.

Even Lu Da was quite surprised, and thought of many possible excuses, but he never expected it to be so simple and direct, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Ming Chen looked him directly into the eyes and did not shy away from it, "Aren't you just waiting for me?" ”

"Why are you still hesitating when you arrive?"

"Worried about my safety? Still don't trust me to help you. ”

Faced with Ming Chen's questioning and his clean eyes, Lu Da was a little panicked, and said, "You... How do you know? ”

Ming Chen smiled confidently and turned his head to look at the river, "When the water becomes turbid, the first thing you know must be the fish swimming in the water." ”

Raising his head, "When the dark clouds gather in the sky, the first thing to predict must be the birds in the air. ”

Finally, he glanced around and fixed his gaze on Lu Da, "So, when something goes wrong in Wangcheng, it must be the people in the city who feel it the most clearly." ”

"Ahh

A long sigh came from Lu Da's mouth.

"Before you, many people came to investigate this case, not only the officials of Wangcheng, but also the heroes and righteous people."

"The difference is that the perfunctory officials go back; The benevolent and serious heroes have disappeared one after another. ”

Ming Chen frowned and asked, "Why are you okay?" ”

"I want to know too." Lu Da closed his eyes in pain.

Looking at Lu Da, who was falling into self-blame, Ming Chen also realized that he had lost his words.

"Their accident also means that they are very close to the truth, and there will be danger, I want to know what they did, and what happened to Wang Ergou and a group of people? And who exactly were the first people to go missing? ”

"You're not afraid?" Lu Da asked tentatively.

Shaking his head, Ming Chen took out a token from his arms and threw it at Lu Da.

Syllable!

Lu Da took it in his hand steadily, and just focused on the token, the whole person froze.

When he saw the three big words 'Blue Emperor City' on the token, his eyes suddenly filled with tears.

Immediately fell to the ground, crying excitedly, "I thought... I thought that without the evidence of demons, the immortal chief would not care about us at all. ”

A strong man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a fierce and vicious man cried so much that it was really weird, and Ming Chen hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

"Uncle Lu, don't say that, you need to submit demon evidence before sending qi refiners, this is the process of Wang Cheng, and it is also because there are not many qi refiners in Wang Cheng, and their strength is not strong."

"Immortal Chen, don't be embarrassed, just call me Xiaolu." Lu Dalian waved his hand repeatedly.

"Don't be so restrained, I don't call you Uncle Lu, and you don't call me Chen Xianchang."

Subsequently, Ming Chen asked the doubts in his heart, "The officials of Wangcheng can't find out the demonic aura of this Wangcheng?" ”

"Nope." Lu Da thought about it very seriously and replied in the affirmative.

But it is not difficult to feel the disappointment in the officials of the royal city from his tone.

Ming Chen patted his arm comfortingly, "Don't be disappointed, because, if it weren't for the fact that I had a special magic weapon, I might not be able to find the demonic energy." ”

In fact, it is.

Without the existence of the Void Mirror, Ming Chen would not be able to discover the existence of demonic energy.

It's just that he can't figure it out, why is that? Obviously, there are so many demonic qi in Wangcheng, but he can't find it at all, which makes Ming Chen feel a little uneasy.

At this moment, Lu Da, who learned the reason, also let go of his prejudices against the officials of Wangcheng.

"Chen... Strong man, the villain begs you to help Wangcheng. ”

As he spoke, he was about to kneel, but he was firmly held by Ming Chen's strong arms, so he didn't let him succeed.

But, to be honest, it feels quite strange to be called a strong man by a strong man who is stronger than himself; However, it is better than the immortal chief, after all, the mention of the immortal chief makes him unconsciously think of Lao Wang.

"Brother Lu, where the duty lies, I will definitely do my best to find out the demons, but I need more information; Otherwise, Nuoda Wangcheng has no way to start. ”

Lu Da nodded heavily, "Let's talk about the two benevolent and righteous men first, the iron gallant gun-Zhao Long, and the wind-fast guest-Xu Xia; They are all powerful warriors, and when they learned of the disappearance of Wangcheng, they spontaneously assisted in the investigation of the case. ”

"Twenty days ago, Zhao Long, an iron gallant gun, visited the city lord's mansion at night, and never returned; Ten days ago, Xu Xia, a hurricane, conducted an in-depth investigation of Wang Ergou, and there was no news after that. ”

"City Lord's Mansion?"

This actually involves the City Lord's Mansion.

"How did he find out about the City Lord's Mansion? Did you find something? ”

Lu Da gritted his teeth and said: "It's all my fault, it's not a secret, before that night, I have always led the investigation of the disappearance case, I was originally the captain of Wangcheng, and I was always the first to check, so I suspected the insiders." ”

Now, it was Ming Chen's turn to be shocked.

He never thought that the strong man in front of him was still a serious high-ranking official in Wangcheng.

Du Wei is a person who can lead the troops, in Xiaoxiao Wangcheng, that is, under the city lord alone, no wonder the people call him Uncle Lu.

However, the strength of returning to the Tibetan realm is indeed more than enough to be a lieutenant of a small city.

"The people of the Yamen were checked by me, but they found nothing, but they unexpectedly found that the city lord's personal guards had changed, so they visited the city lord's mansion at night with Zhao Long, and with my strength in returning to the Tibetan realm, they were actually discovered by the new guards of the city lord Wang."

"City Lord Wang didn't listen to my explanation and deprived me of my official status, it doesn't matter, but since then, Zhao Long has never come out of the City Lord's Mansion again."

When he said the last sentence, Lu Da's head almost hung down to his chest.

From his clenched trembling fists, Ming Chen felt a strong sense of self-blame and guilt from him.

"Then do you think there is a problem with the city lord or is there a problem with the city lord's guards?"

As soon as this question came out, Lu Da also quickly adjusted his mood, "Lord Wang has the grace of knowing me, and he has always treated me as his own, and he was indeed very abnormal that night. ”

"So, you think there's something wrong with the city lord?"

Who knows, Lu Da shook his head slowly, "City Lord Wang's attitude has changed greatly, maybe it is to convey some kind of information to me, deprive me of my official status, or maybe it is to let me get out of the shackles of the rules and withdraw from the whirlpool of the disappearance case." ”

"Moreover, if City Lord Wang was the murderer, he could have killed me directly, but he didn't do it."

This inference is reasonable, and according to this logic, it may be that the city lord was threatened, which made the whole case more difficult.

"What about the guards?"

"The villain has a guess that maybe the original guard was the one who disappeared in the first place." Lu Da's expression was firm, and his words were conclusive.

This guess made Ming Chen think about it.

I have to say, very bold guess, but not impossible.

Twenty days ago, Zhao Long, an iron gallant gun, visited the city lord's mansion at night.

In other words, more than 20 days ago, Lu Da noticed that there was an internal problem, and the officials of Wangcheng intervened after Lu Da was deprived of his official position.

This shows that it is very likely that the guards around Wang City Lord will disappear before this, so that Lu Da's investigation will be hindered everywhere.

As a result, clues to the disappearance of the population have also emerged, but this is still not related to demonic energy.

Ming Chen is not in a hurry, step by step, there will always be a time when things will come to light.

"What is the matter with Wang Ergou? Why did Xu Xia, the Hurricane, have an accident when he investigates him? ”

The sadness in Lu Da's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Twelve days ago, I got acquainted with Xu Xia, a wind rider who passed through Wangcheng, and his light skills are the best I have ever seen. ”

"After our investigation, on the day of Wang Ergou's death, City Lord Wang went out of the city with his guards, and the place he went to was Xihe Town."

"There is a wild boar forest next to the side of the road to Xihe Town, and it is a coincidence that Wang Ergou was gnawed and died in the wild boar forest."

Westriver Town?

Why is it Xihe Town?

"Just as we are getting closer and closer to the truth, Xu Xia, the wind guest, is ......"

"Wait a minute!" Ming Chen interrupted Lu Da with a low cry and took out the hot messenger in his arms.

It's Senior Sister Yu's summons!

"There is a situation, I'll go first!"

The whole person shot out and disappeared into the night sky in the blink of an eye.

“...... Missing. Lu Da subconsciously added, and stared at a pair of bull's eyes, so fast!
