Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 68 The Second Secret Letter
“……”
Ye Chen was silent for a moment.
He was a little surprised, he was just pretending to be a little bit, originally just to gain simple trust, but he didn't think it would be the current result.
In front of him, this young town guard named Xiang Yunqi stood respectfully with his fists clenched, and for a while, Ye Chen didn't know how to continue chatting.
But just as the young man was hesitating, a knocking sound suddenly sounded outside the window of the private room.
It's as if someone is knocking on a window.
This is the second floor of the inn, to be reasonable, knocking on the window on the eaves of the second floor in broad daylight, not only is there no sense of mystery, but it is even a little abrupt in broad daylight.
Ye Chen frowned, his eyes were biased towards the screen window, and he asked in a low voice, "Xiang Zhen Guard, is this ...... Looking for yours? ”
Xiang Yunqi raised his head, his eyes were also a little confused, and he glanced at it.
"Wait a minute, my lord, and wait for the next official to investigate." The town guard of Beizhen paused, saluted Ye Chen respectfully, and then walked to the screen window and opened it.
Outside the window, a brown-black pigeon flew onto the back of Xiang Yunqi's hand, and in the next moment, it turned into a building block.
"What is this?"
Ye Chen was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it obviously.
This is the Shencang Continent, a world of fantasy and magic, with strange things, it is not surprising.
After all, after the advent of the era of earth's spiritual energy revival, those so-called scientific concepts collapsed one by one, and after that, there were many supernatural phenomena similar to turning stones into gold.
The pigeon becomes a building block, which is almost the same principle.
These couldn't attract Ye Chen, but what made him feel strange was the change in the expression on Xiang Yunqi's face after receiving the pigeon that had turned into a building block.
"This is ......," Ye Chen tentatively said only two words.
Xiang Yunqi's face sank, and he said roughly: "The wooden pigeon has passed the book, this is the second secret letter from the imperial capital." ”
"Secret Letter ......"
Ye Chen frowned, his hand naturally pinched his chin, and pondered.
The wooden pigeon passed the book, thinking that it was the carrier pigeon that could turn into building blocks, and this second secret letter was not easy to hear.
In other words, the secret letter is an extremely rare existence.
And within one day, two secret letters came from the imperial capital, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that something big was wrong!
The content of the first secret letter, Ye Chen could probably guess that it was a secret order about the killing of the second highness of the Xiao family of the royal family, after all, this was a matter that humiliated the face of the royal family.
If the royal family wants to find the murderer, they can only send it in the form of secret letters to various towns in the territory of Tianfeng, so that the city lords or town guards of these towns can secretly investigate.
But this second secret letter, Ye Chen couldn't guess.
Recently, the Tianfeng Empire, except for two major incidents caused by Ye Chen, it was almost peaceful.
The content of this second secret letter aroused Ye Chen's curiosity.
Thinking that since it was all pretended, it was better to pretend to the end, Ye Chen looked at Xiang Yunqi and pretended to be deep and said, "What is the content of the secret letter?" ”
"Let the officer take a look."
Without any suspicion of Ye Chen, Xiang Yunqi backhanded the block into the palm of his hand, and took off the Demon Suppression Division Town Guard Token on his waist.
On the back of the token, there is a protruding part, which resembles a tiger lying on the ground.
Coincidentally, the pattern that recessed the surface of the building blocks in Yun Qi's hand is also the same.
The two can be combined with each other.
Sure enough, after the token was stuck on the surface of the block, a thin slit cracked in the middle of the square block.
Only the sound of creaking gears was heard, and the top end of the block split in two, and then a beam of light flashed, and a rolled white paper jumped out.
Xiang Yunji caught the white paper, and the building block box in his hand also turned into a brown and black carrier pigeon in the sound of gears turning, and flew out of the window.
Ye Chen also saw the face of this carrier pigeon clearly at that moment, not that the coat color of this pigeon is brown, this carrier pigeon is not a living thing at all, brown and black are just the primary colors of the wooden carrier pigeon.
"It's a bit of a Luban lock." Ye Chen sighed.
Xiang Yunqi frowned and asked, "My lord, what did you say?" ”
"Nothing, nothing." Ye Chen waved his hand, did not explain, and said: "Let's take a look at the content of the secret letter first, it has been an eventful day recently, first the young master of the Ye clan was deposed, and then the second royal highness was robbed and killed, and I don't know what kind of thing it is, so two secret letters will come in one day." ”
"Hmm." Nodding to Yun Qi, Ye Chen said this, it was indeed true.
So far, he still has no doubts about the identity of the young envoy of the Demon Division of Ye Chenzhen.
Walk over to the table and open the paper roll to the clouds.
The content of the secret letter is very simple, only two lines.
It roughly means that within three days, the emperor will have a three-rank Jinwei come to the Demon Slaying North Town, and his purpose is to come here to supervise the matter of the Upper Realm Divine Fire hidden in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range.
"Upper Realm Divine Fire?" Looking at the text of this secret letter, Ye Chen's gaze locked on the last four words.
If you didn't guess wrong, the Upper Realm Divine Fire mentioned in the secret letter was the Origin Starfire that Xingying said.
The Origin Spark originated from the Eternal Star Field, and due to the bloody battle in the Star Field, one side of the world collapsed, resulting in these Origin Sparks being scattered in all directions.
Legend has it that the Origin Starfire contains the most abundant spiritual aura in heaven and earth, and those who obtain it are tantamount to obtaining the purest cultivation law in heaven and earth.
However, during these days in the Tianfeng Empire, Ye Chen had only heard someone talk about the topic of Origin Spark at the auction of the Ten Thousand Medicine Merchants Alliance.
As for the key spiritual medicinal plant that can attract the Origin Starfire, it is now in Ye Chen's spatial ring.
Glancing casually at Lin Xun'er, who was sitting in front of the feast at the moment, Ye Chen smiled lightly.
Fifteen-year-old Miss Lin has never experienced any ups and downs in life.
Originally, he was still a little distressed, how to get the seed of Yanhaijin from a girl who did not know the world without using force.
But who knows, after they leave Los Angeles, Lin Xun'er will hand over the seeds of Yanhaijin to him for safekeeping, and tell him that it is because of this seed that he will be so unlucky now.
Of course, along with the one handed over to Ye Chen, there was also the Tianjin card.
It's just that the use of the Tianjin Card requires a specific secret spell, and this spell can only be known when he is strong enough to go to the Hall of Gods in the future.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen pinched his fingers.
He opened his mouth and said, "Xiang Zhen's envoy, how much do you know about the Divine Fire of the Upper Realm? ”
"Upper Realm Divine Fire?" Xiang Yunqi was still reading the text on this second secret letter repeatedly.
His attention was not on the origin of Xinghuo, but on the Sanpin Jinwei from the imperial capital.
This three-grade Jinwei, in his opinion, should be the black satin-entangled young man in front of him.
"Lord Hui, the Divine Fire of the Upper Realm is just a legend, and the subordinates' understanding of it is limited to the records of ancient books, and they only know that the changes in the spirit beasts in the past hundred years may be related to it."
