"Ruins?"

In the county city governor's mansion, in the face of the prefect Chen Guangcheng's announcement, the state lord couldn't help but fall into deep thought, considering this current possibility.

After a while, he said: "It has been three days now, but there is no trace of the princess, this possibility you said, if it was with the official before, the official would only think it is ridiculous, but now it seems that there is really some truth."

"Being able to think of this shows that Governor Chen is really considering it seriously for the safety of Qingzhou, but although there is such a possibility now, it is difficult to determine it."

"The possibility of ruins is what this official just doesn't want to see, if he is really in the ruins, unless he has entered the second layer, the princess's life must have disappeared at this moment, and His Majesty will be angry and thoroughly investigated, and the storm is coming."

Chen Guangcheng raised his hand and said: "Lord Yuzhou, in the eyes of the lower officials, if it is really a relic, the princess's life is worry-free at this moment, the nineteenth princess is pure and good, and she is kind to others, in my Qingzhou, she is not domineering, how can someone deliberately target such kindness."

"Even if it is an unforeseen situation today, the other party has set such a big situation, how can he simply take his life, although the body of the three yin is precious, it is really nothing compared to the ruins."

"If it is done by the White Lotus Sect, it will have to wait until 9 o'clock in September before the sacrifice will be performed."

The state lord turned around, looked at Chen Guangcheng with some surprise, and couldn't help but say, "Shibei three days, you should really be impressed, Guangcheng's mind is meticulous, and even these conjectures have been completely clear, this is not like his usual temperament."

Seeing this, Chen Guangcheng knew that there was no need to hide some things, and Chen Shaoan did not take the official career, and this credit had to be counted on his own head in the end.

Then he said bluntly: "I don't dare to deceive the state lord, this speculation was put forward by my nephew Chen Shao'an, and the lower official just relayed it."

Hearing the name Chen Shao'an, the state lord couldn't help but ask, "But that Chen Shao'an, the chief of the Five Spirit Sect?"

Although there is not much contact between the government and the sect, there is still some knowledge in some big aspects, such as the position of the head of the sect, whether it is for the sect or the government, it is a major news.

The chief of the upper sect is not every year, and some of the upper sects, and even the vacant position of chief for hundreds of years are very common.

Theoretically speaking, once a disciple is confirmed as the chief disciple, he is basically equivalent to the established candidate for the future head of the sect, and when he walks outside, he can act cheaply on behalf of the sect.

The authority is almost different from that of the head himself.

At least among the three major upper sects, the Five Spirit Sect, the Seven Star Sect, and the Xuantian Sword Sect, only the Five Spirit Sect currently has a chief.

Including Liu Ziran, although he is called the young master, this is a private title, not a formal appointment, there is no transfer of elders, and the power of the true inheritance is completely different.

"It's really my Chen family." Chen Guangcheng replied.

The state lord couldn't help but ask curiously, "It is said that this Chen Shao'an is particularly favored by your Chen family elders, and then affects the Five Spirits Sect, but the rumors are true."

This is a big melon, and there is no sound on this side of the county, but in the cultivation world, it is really ripe.

When the state lord said this, it was the left and right protectors behind him, and they couldn't help but lean forward slightly.

Although they are Dharma protectors, they do not actually have official positions, but are cultivators, similar to the existence of disciples and guests, and they are not affected by official spirits.

As a cultivator, of course, I am most interested in some rumors in the cultivation world.

Chen Guangcheng said a little helplessly: "This time in the county town, it is the first time for Xia Guan to see Chen Shao'an, so what he understands involves the elders of the family, and there is no way to ask, so he doesn't know too much."

"However, in terms of mental character alone, Shao'an's son is very good, and as for cultivation, the lower officials don't know anything, but the elders of the family really treat him very favorably."

I didn't hear anything special about it, and the state lord and the others were still quite disappointed.

What kind of moral character, this is completely a pretext.

However, Chen Guang grew up in the county town, and it is normal not to know.

The state lord did not dwell on this

, and then said: "Chen Shao'an is a quick thinker, has a unique perspective on things, and it is really commendable to be able to provide such a direction of thinking."

After a pause, he said, "If this official is not mistaken, this time, Chen Shao'an is equivalent to the Chen family, the leader of the Five Spirits Sect."

Chen Guangcheng nodded: "As the state lord said, Shao'an is in charge of the exploration of the bluestone ruins."

After thinking for a while, the state lord said, "The princess's matter, since she has some ideas, why don't you also get involved, or go to the place where the princess disappeared to see more."

Chen Guangcheng said with some surprise; "That doesn't seem appropriate."

The governor said: "What's wrong, I still don't have a clue, there are so many people involved, and he has such a way of thinking, why don't you come and see it."

"Even if nothing is discovered, it doesn't have much impact, and the blame doesn't fall on him."

Speaking of this, the state lord seemed to have a deep meaning and said: "It just so happens that the bluestone ruins are here, and the government army will also enter it, so that they can get familiar with it earlier, and after they get to the ruins, they will have a good response."

When Chen Guangcheng heard this, his face was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, Lord Governor."

.....

"Let me investigate? I don't know how to investigate cases, I just guessed before."

Chen Shaoan said speechlessly.

casually gave a guess, and the result was also involved in himself.

The shocking case of the princess's disappearance can be imagined how big it is, like a whirlpool in a storm, and as a cultivator, I can't avoid such troublesome things.

And once it's not good, if you get involved in any grievances, wouldn't it be asking for trouble.

Therefore, subconsciously, Chen Shaoan thought about refusing first.

Chen Guangcheng persuaded him: "Shao'an's words are wrong, this time he said that he was going to investigate the case, but in fact, he was familiar with it, it was better to find it, and it didn't matter if he didn't find it."

"I haven't found out why I have so much, and you are not famous, so what does it matter."

"Besides, before the state lord, he also deliberately hinted to me, saying that Shao'an can take this opportunity to get acquainted with the government army more, didn't Shao'an ask me before, is there any familiar person in the government army, this is just right."

"With the words of the state lord, the government and the army will have to give some face, grasp it well, and after entering the bluestone ruins, they will definitely have a little more protection."

"It's so much better than my friend Qianhe."

Listening to the persuasion of the prefect Chen Guangcheng, Chen Shaoan nodded in agreement.

In this way, it is indeed a good way to go.

If you can hook up with the government army in advance, then the ruins will be safe and worry-free.

The way of cultivation is about a struggle, especially in the ruins.

It is said that this bluestone ruins have been explored many times, and all the benefits have been wiped out, but this time even the government has intervened, and there are government officials and soldiers who have come forward, and fools understand that this bluestone ruins have undergone unknown changes.

And these changes must be extremely important, even the state lord can't help but want to intervene, when the time comes, in the ruins, not only will he face the danger from the ruins, but also the backstabbing of the same human race.

The biggest difference between the government army and the cultivators is that they have strict discipline and a bottom line.

And cultivators have always gone their own way, putting their own interests first, and in the face of any benefits, there are many people who are sanctimonious and do not recognize their relatives.

After discussing with the prefect Chen Guangcheng, there was no time for delay.

The princess is missing, every breath is the key, and after leaving the hall, she beckoned the third brother Chen Shaojie and others to come over.

"The little sister is on Uncle Guangcheng's side, and the third brother wants Xue'er, come with me."

After explaining the matter, Chen Shaoan spoke.

Chen Shaofeng was a little reluctant: "Fourth brother, take me, am I going too, I'm here alone, it's boring."

Facing the little sister Chen Shaofeng, Chen Shaoan did not get used to it this time, but said solemnly: "This time, it's not a trip to the mountains and rivers, not only that, but also

There are so many officials present that there is no room for error."

"Once something happens, even me and the third brother can't take care of it."

"Obedient."

Feeling the strictness of the fourth brother, Chen Shaofeng didn't dare to beg for cuteness or anything like that, so he could only say "oh".

However, in the time of a stick of incense, Chen Guangcheng had already arranged the carriage here, and immediately set off with the three of them.

......

The state lord here, after Chen Guangcheng left, quickly summoned the four major gods, and the three pro-armies all commanded envoys, and told the speculation about the possible ruins.

In fact, when the matter came to this point, when there was no more news clues, many people had already vaguely guessed in their hearts that it might be related to the ruins.

And when the state lord announced the direction of this clue, everyone immediately agreed.

After the meeting was dismissed, the governor left the government army alone to command Yan Hongjiang.

"Hong Jiang, this news about the ruins was provided by Chen Shao'an of the Chen family, have you ever heard of this."

The state lord asked.

Yan Hongjiang is tall and slender, with upright eyebrows, giving people a very "hard" feeling.

Hearing what the state lord said, Zhengse replied, "Lord Zhou, isn't this son the chief of the Five Spirits Sect?"

It is hard to imagine that such a person who seems to be extremely decent is rumored to be famous for his greed for money, and he is really unseemly.

No one can tell whether this is true or false, or only those who are familiar with it, such as the state lord, can understand the original situation.

"That's right, it's really him, I have already told the prefect Chen Guangcheng that I will also let him come over with me during this investigation, and you will meet him when the time comes."

When the governor referred to Yan Hongjiang, he used "I", showing intimacy.

After all, the three pro-armies are the real team of the state lord, and they can even be said to be their own family, and the attitude is of course completely different.

Yan Hongjiang nodded: "The subordinates understand that they should take care of themselves, but the rules of the government and the army cannot be messed up, and the inheritance of the master cannot be messed up, and he should pay for it, but he still has to pay it."

The state lord said helplessly: "Okay, I don't care about these, when the time comes, you will clearly mark the price, as a member of the Chen family, and favored by the clan elders, it must be relatively rich in terms of money."

"But don't overcharge then."

Yan Hongjiang said: "Don't worry, the state lord will come according to the rules of the government and the army."

The state lord looked at the back of Yan Hongjiang leaving, and he also revealed a little sigh.

But before he could think about it, a henchman from his retinue came over and announced, "Lord Governor, the Twelve Princes have arrived in the county seat."

The governor paused: "Why is it so fast, immediately prepare for the matter."

"Yes."

......

Above the county, above the clouds.

A luxurious carriage, made of six horse-drawn ropes, galloping through the air.

Behind him, there were three thousand gold-armored knights, who sat down on Pegasus, stepping on clouds and mist, like heavenly soldiers.

Every horse here is a royal horse of the palace, all of them have the bloodline of demon beasts, the bloodline is pure, the palm has the ability to fly, and it has the title of Tianma.

In front of the carriage, carved dragons and phoenixes, and the curtain of Caiman was draped, and sitting in it was a man wearing a broken gold armor.

Looking at his face, the heavenly court is full, his eyes are sharp and spirited, and he is an indescribable scene.

This is the twelve princes of today's Daqian Dynasty: Zhao Qiyun.

The surname Zhao is the surname of Daqianguo.

However, after a stick of incense, it has already come to the sky above the Wangtian Tower, breaking through the clouds, and the scenery below is gradually clear.

As the carriage descended, after a circle, it landed steadily on the top of the Wangtian Tower.

Except for the twelve personal guards, the rest of the golden-armored knights landed and quickly controlled the entrances of the Wangtian Tower.

Looking at the sky, the state lord has already led many officials and has been waiting for a long time.

After the prince got out of the car, he immediately paid homage: "Mo Banglin, the governor of Qingzhou, led the officials of Qingzhou to meet His Royal Highness the Twelve Princes

。」

Seeing this, Zhao Qiyun nodded and said, "Everyone, please get up."

Then he walked quickly to the side of the state lord, and couldn't wait to arch his hand: "Qingguo Gong, do you have any clues about my sister."

Obviously, at this time, the prince Zhao Qiyun didn't bother to care about these at all, and went straight to the topic.

The governor Mo Banglin also understood that the original seven-day trip was now only three days, and the prince Zhao Qiyun arrived, obviously day and night along the way, non-stop.

It can be seen that he is anxious in his heart.

waved his hand at the moment, let all the officials behind him disperse, and then immediately told the prince about the current situation.

After the state lord's narration, the prince immediately understood the situation in the past three days, but there was a little surprise in his eyes.

Even when he was in a hurry, it was obvious that the prince also had treasures and could know some news related to Qingzhou County at any time.

In the prince's heart, he had already thought that the Duke of Qingguo would definitely shift the blame to the White Lotus Sect.

He is also ready to take advantage of this to make trouble, control the dominance, and take the opportunity to seize the right to speak.

Unexpectedly, in the words of the state lord, there is already a direction, and it is about the possibility of ruins.

After pondering slightly, even the prince Zhao Qiyun had to admit that the possibility of ruins was indeed the greatest.

"Please also ask Qingguo Gong to take me to the place where my sister disappeared."

Faced with the prince's request, the state lord naturally had no reason to refuse, and immediately took the prince off.

Soon came to the place where the nineteenth princess disappeared.

Although the big blockade has been lifted, the two streets related to the alley where the princess disappeared are naturally still under lockdown.

And when the prince came over, he saw Chen Shaoan in the crowd at a glance.

It's just because the moon white robe is too eye-catching.

Because it happens to be the back, the huge word chief is really angry and attracts people's attention.
