After bidding farewell to Ge Wanshan, Xu Chong set off on the same day, headed east at full speed, and it took a whole month to arrive at Zhentianfu, the easternmost part of Daqing.

Judging from the abstract map, Zhentianfu is backed by the ocean, and it stands to reason that it should be more appropriate to call Zhenhaifu.

Xu Chong originally thought that the word Zhentian was to deal with the specifications of the accompanying capital, but he didn't know more than that until he arrived.

As a companion capital, the walls of Zhentian City are far less pompous than those of the capital, but ...... It's built on the mountain!

And this mountain ...... It's too high!

No, it can't be called a mountain, it should be called a mountain!

It's a city built on top of a giant mountain range!

"No wonder the company is set up here, just this sea of clouds, let me live here for the rest of my life."

Xu Chong stood on the edge of the cliff, just looking at the rolling sea of clouds, the fatigue of the starry night dissipated.

"This brother is coming to Zhentian for the first time?"

A person next to him suddenly asked, and his voice was clear.

"It's the first time I've been here, indeed."

Xu Chong looked over with a smile.

With a high-spirited figure, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a azure robe, he looks very good...... If you ignore the smug face of the 'city people'.

"Ha, in Xia Su Ruochen, he is a native of Zhentianfu."

As he spoke, the young man dusted off the dust that did not exist on the placket of his clothes, and said, "Now, I am sorry for my facial features." ”

“……”

Xu Chong was silent.

The five senses are protected by Zhang Zheng, and he is the subordinate position of Qin Tianjian, whose responsibility is to record the changes in the heavens and occupy the auspicious and evil.

"Huh?"

Seeing Xu Chong's expressionless face, Su Ruochen thought about it, thinking that Xu Chong didn't know what the concept of this official was, so he added word by word: "Positive, eight, product." ”

The character 'eight' was also deliberately emphasized.

“…… It turned out to be the official in front of him, and he really looked up to him for a long time. ”

Xu Chong was helpless, so he could only arch his hand perfunctorily.

Then he saw Su Ruochen suddenly become serious.

"Long Yang?"

Su Ruochen stared at Xu Chong's eyes tightly, "Where is Brother Tai from?" ”

"Uh, Zhanghuafu, what's wrong?"

Xu Chong was stunned.

"Zhanghuafu...... Thousands of miles away?! ”

Su Ruochen's eyes widened suddenly, and his voice began to tremble, "My name Su Ruochen has actually spread so far away?" ”

"This ......"

Xu Chong was stunned.

He had never seen such a brazen person!

"Good brother!"

Su Ruochen hooked Xu Chong's neck, as if he had been a friend for many years: "I want to thank you, it was you who made me recognize myself...... Say, what do you want, money? Beauty? Wine? ”

"Thank you Brother Su for your kindness......"

Xu Chong quietly broke free.

"What? Think I'm boasting about Haikou? ”

Su Ruochen turned his face blank, "I'm afraid you don't know the weight of your brother in this town, it's no exaggeration to say that even if you correct his old man, you have to sell a few thin noodles for your brother." ”

"Correction?"

Xu Chong's heart moved slightly, and he asked, "If I'm not mistaken, it seems that the Qintian Prison is only the fifth grade, right?" Listening to what Brother Su said, why does it seem that the prison is bigger than the six departments? ”

"I don't know."

Su Ruochen smiled incomprehensibly, "In terms of grade, it is naturally the six departments that are bigger, but in terms of identity, the six departments of the capital may not be as noble as the old man, but I can't tell you this." ”

"Oh yes?"

Xu Chong looked at him calmly, and there was a thick doubt in his tone.

“……”

How could Su Ruochen stand this grievance, looked around, and said in a low voice: "I'll only tell you this, you can't tell others...... Yuan Jianzheng and his mother are the nurses of His Majesty today, and the two have eaten and drunk together since childhood, and later became His Majesty's companion. ”

"I know that."

Xu Chong continued to look at him calmly.

“……”

Su Ruochen was speechless, and then his heart was ruthless.

I don't believe it when I step on a horse, I've been with the prison for so long, it's better than you as a foreigner?

Gritting his teeth, Su Ruochen lowered his voice a little lower: "Then you must not know why Yuan Jian Zheng came to Zhentian." ”

"Isn't it a normal transfer?"

Xu Chong frowned.

He rambled for a long time, because he wanted to set Su Ruochen's words to be true, but the reason why Yuan Shouyi left Beijing was not even known to King Qianwang and Dou Tianyuan, so could Su Ruochen know?

"Hehe, it's a normal transfer to the outside world, but in fact, it's ...... Not. ”

Su Ruochen found the field, his expression became clear again, and he even put his hands behind his back.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, his long hair swayed lightly in the majestic wind, so he had a superior demeanor...... If it weren't for that 'ask me' on his face.

Xu Chong resisted the urge to push him off the cliff and asked, "Why is that?" ”

"Hey, hey."

The master broke the gong in a second, came over in a shy, and pointed his index finger to the sky: "I broke up with that woman for a woman." ”

“……”

Xu Chong was silent for a moment, and shook his head directly: "I don't believe it." ”

"Don't believe me?! How can you not believe it?! ”

In an instant, Su Ruochen was anxious, so anxious that he broke his voice, "My famous Su Ruochen, who has been famous for thousands of miles, can I still deceive you?" I don't want a reputation anymore? ”

"Although I can't compare to Brother Su's background, I have also heard about the affairs of the DPRK and China."

Xu Chong looked righteous and said: "As far as I know, Yuan Jianzheng has never been close to women in his life, and he is clean and self-conscious, and he has not even been contaminated with the land of fireworks, how can he have a dislike with His Majesty because of a woman?" ”

Half a month ago, Dou Tianyuan stopped him by 'spatial teleportation' again, and sent customs clearance documents, appointment documents and other procedures, as well as Yuan Shouyi's file.

Now he doesn't just know the name Yuan Shouyi.

After a pause, Xu Chong said again: "Brother Su must stop talking nonsense, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth." ”

“……”

Su Ruochen's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.

Xu Chong looked at the sea of clouds, and the old god was waiting for the following.

Suddenly, a chaotic aura came from his side.

Xu Chong's face changed, and when he went to look at Su Ruochen, he suddenly found that the other party's gaze had become extremely chaotic.

Humiliation, frustration, unwillingness, resentment......

It's completely lost from the cheerful and arrogant look just now.

"It's!"

Xu Chong remembered Dou Tianyuan's words, and immediately moved on the tip of his tongue, like thunder: "-Brother Su!" ”

“…… Well? ”

Su Ruochen stiffened, and his eyes quickly returned to clarity: "Where did we just go?" Oh, woman, right. ”

Xu Chong: "......"

"Originally, I didn't believe this, and I regarded it as gossip in the capital, and I listened to it in vain."

Su Ruochen didn't seem to remember the chaos just now, and the more he talked to himself, the more energetic he became: "Until I enter the Qin Heavenly Prison...... Once the Ministry of Rites visited, and after waiting for a long time to see the prison coming down, I went to the stargazing tower to call him, and just happened to bump into him looking at a portrait of a woman! ”

"Portrait of a woman?"

Xu Chong opened his mouth wide, "Who painted it?" ”

"I don't know, I don't know, if you just look at the portrait, the appearance is very ordinary."

Su Ruochen scratched his head a little depressedly, "The prison is hanging me on the stargazing tower for a few days, saying that the woman has nothing to do with Your Majesty......"

"Hanging from the stargazing tower...... Because you talk about it all over the place? ”

Xu Chong asked.

"Or else?"

Su Ruochen glanced at Xu Chong like a fool, and continued: "Anyway, I think it's okay, the more he says this, the more it proves that he has a ghost in his heart, don't you know how fascinated he was by looking at the portrait at that time, and I didn't even notice it when I was close...... I stood behind him and watched for a while. ”

Didn't kill you directly?

It seems that King Qianwang and Dou Tianyuan are not lying, Yuan Jianzheng is really a good person.

Xu Chong was thoughtful.

"Okay, I'll tell you so much first."

Su Ruochen patted Xu Chong's shoulder, "If you want to know more details, come to Qin Tianjian to find me." ”

After saying that, he shook his head and walked towards the city gate.

After a few steps, he turned back again.

Xu Chong thought he wanted to ask his name, but it turned out to be ......

Su Ruochen once again dusted off the non-existent dust on his clothes: "I forgot to tell you that an official like me who is an eighth-grade official does not need to queue up to enter the city." ”

After saying this, Shi Shiran left again.

This time it's really gone.

“…… Cow Pie! ”

Xu Chong gave Su Ruochen a thumbs up.

When I looked at the sea of clouds again, I suddenly felt that I was not so tall......

"Forget it, let's go into the city."

Xu Chong shook his head and walked towards the city gate as well.

The formalities were complete, so naturally I didn't get any trouble, so I entered the city smoothly.

As soon as I entered the city, the feeling of 'being tall' dropped again and again.

Chessboards, gaming tables, everywhere.

It was placed on both sides of the main road so brightly, attracting many old and young masters to stop.

In addition, whether it is pedestrians, cars or horses, it is all the same as walking.

In contrast, the fastest speed is actually the frolicking children.

"Understood, the main idle word."

Xu Chong seemed to have an understanding, and immediately stopped staying, and quickened his pace to the destination.

It didn't take long for Qin Tianjian to arrive.

From the outside, except for a seven-story building piercing out of the backyard, Qin Tianjian is no different from a normal yamen, all of which are the instrument gate, the front yard, and the main hall.

Unexpectedly, Xu Chong had just stepped forward, and before he could speak, a man in a azure shirt approached: "But the new deputy supervisor, Lord Xu Chongxu?" ”

"Exactly."

Xu Chong nodded.

"The prison has been waiting for a long time, please come with me."

The man arched his hand and turned to enter first.

Xu Chong followed, and as soon as he walked into Qin Tianjian, a fresh breath instantly enveloped him.

The same breath as the spiritual source!

Although it is far less rich than the spiritual source, it is better than the thousands of households, and it is better than the government office, and it is clear to the extent that it can be clearly felt.

At the same time, Xu Chong's mind also calmed down, there was no sadness or joy, and the ancient well was not wavering.

"Is this the rule of the blessed land, it's amazing."

Xu Chong felt this power acting on his mind, and followed the man all the way through the hallway.

Finally came to the seven-story building.

"The prison is on the roof of the stargazing building, and the deputy supervisor can go by himself."

The man spoke, clenched his fists and left.

Xu Chong didn't think much about it, and went upstairs directly.

The area of the stargazing building is not large, and it decreases from bottom to top, reaching seven floors, only about 30 square meters.

There were only a few bookshelves, a few tables and chairs, and no human figures were to be seen.

"Still on it?"

Xu Chong remembered the shape he saw outside the yamen, jumped out of the window, and flew up.

Sure enough, the roof of the building was not paved with the usual tiled sloping roof, but was flat.

An old man stood with his hands in his hands, quietly watching the sea of clouds.

A young man sat beside the charcoal stove, as if he was making tea.

"Xiaguan Xu Chong, I have seen Yuan Jianzheng."

Xu Chong fell lightly.

The young man looked up in amazement, only one glance, and his face changed rapidly.

It was Su Ruochen.

"You go down first."

Yuan Shouyi flicked the sleeves of his robe.

Su Ruochen was like being amnestied, raised his sleeves to cover his face, and jumped over.

I didn't even bother to say a word about retirement.

Xu Chong frowned.

"Don't you think he's different from when he's outside the city?"

Yuan Shouyi turned around and asked.

Square face, thick eyebrows, piercing eyes.

It's the same as in the portrait.

Xu Chong nodded: "I thought he would ask me who I was." ”

"A month ago, Su Ruochen started cultivating martial arts, and now he is a triple channel."

Yuan Shouyi looked at Xu Chong lightly, "This caused him to have a lack of mood, and he was very happy to express himself in front of others, and his father had no choice but to send him to Qin Tianjian to delay the collapse of his mood with the rules of calming the nerves." ”

"No wonder ......"

Xu Chongxin said that was indeed the case.

In addition, in a month's time, from scratch to the triple pulse of the pulse, this qualification is really exaggerated.

"You provoked him with your words and deeds outside the city, and although he who did not know was not guilty, his actions almost killed him."

Yuan Shouyi continued, "If his father, Zhentianfu Mansion Yin, knows about it, he will not rest with you. ”

"This ...... It is true that the subordinate officials are not thoughtful. ”

Xu Chong's face was ashamed and asked, "Is there a way to solve his problem?" ”

It's not enough to say that he is afraid, the identity of Taizu's legacy is his biggest shield.

The Fu Yin, who is only a third-grade person, even if he is accompanied by the capital, cannot be older than the prince.

The main thing is that this matter is indeed my own fault, and if there is a mistake, I have to admit it, and I have to make up for it.

"The theory of state of mind is too mysterious, there is never a direct and clear way, and you can only rely on yourself."

A malicious smile appeared on Yuan Shouyi's face, "But you can try, if you can solve his problem, I can tell you the reason for the disagreement between me and His Majesty." ”

？？？

Xu Chong looked stunned.

Is this a prerequisite that triggers the main story?
