After the dark clouds, the evening sky seemed to become clearer, not gloomy, but a clear blue.

The Chiri Canal outside of Kyoto is tinted with a thin glimmer of light in the setting sun.

Cheng Guang glanced at the glimmer of light on the canal, unable to see through the ghostly monsters hidden in the canal, so he took Lin Cheng and Xu Hongfei and his party back to the Zhenguo Mansion.

In the evening, there was a big difference in front of the entrance of the Zhenguo Mansion.

On weekdays, there are only two guards in front of the door, but today there are four more.

And these four people are obviously not the guards of the Zhenguo Mansion, but like veterans who came down from the battlefield, although they are dressed in civilian clothes and black, but they all carry a horse chopping knife behind their backs, even if they are a few zhang away, Cheng Guang can also sense the cold air emanating from those horse chopping knives on their backs.

"These are all soldiers who have survived the battlefield, and their martial arts cultivation is by no means good, and each of them is an extremely strong warrior."

Cheng Guang knew that these guards were all generals who survived from the battlefield, and it was very likely that they were all under the command of Cheng Shiyuan, the Duke of Zhenguo, did these guards come to prove that Cheng Shiyuan, the Duke of Zhenguo, was back?

Cheng Guang thought about it for a while and felt that it was unlikely, generally speaking, Zhenguo Gong would stay near the boundary all the year round, and would not leave the frontier unless there were special circumstances.

So how did these old pawns end up here?

Could there be other reasons?

Cheng Guang didn't understand, and he didn't care about this, now his mind was all on the demon clan and the missing prince, and the situation of these old pawns was irrelevant.

Cheng Guang entered the entrance, and the guards looked at Cheng Guang with a fierce gaze, as if they were tempting, and they seemed to be observing.

These guards didn't look like their own people, and they dared to look at him like that.

Cheng Guang was thinking like this, and the eyes of the four old soldiers in front of him suddenly relaxed, with an appreciative look on their faces, and their bodies bent slightly, with a little respect.

"Shizi, General Qin has arrived at the mansion to discuss the marriage date with Shizi."

The old man said, respectfully turned to the side, and invited Cheng Guang into the mansion.

General Qin?

Wedding?

These old pawns were brought over by the Qin general?

Cheng Guang suddenly thought of something, remembering a marriage that his parents had set for him before, the big ice lump named Qin Yanqiu.

So......

This General Qin is his future father-in-law?

And these old pawns in front of him are the people brought by General Qin?

Cheng Guang's mind was full of thoughts, and he understood these things in an instant.

This General Qin came over to discuss the marriage date with Cheng Zhihai and them, thinking that the marriage could be determined and had been decided.

Cheng Guang doesn't feel the need to get involved in this kind of thing, this is the case in this era, most of the marriages can be handled by his parents, so he just waits for marriage.

Cheng Guang nodded slightly in response, and went straight into the entrance, and several old soldiers who were still looking at Cheng Guang with some scrutiny just now also turned slightly sideways and respectfully opened the way for Cheng Guang.

When Cheng Guang returned to the Mixc, he saw that Qingluan was already busy in the side room, and it seemed that he was already preparing some food for him.

He has been running around for several days, looking for the whereabouts of the demon clan, and he has not spent more time with Qingluan, but Qingluan has not complained about anything, but will silently prepare for Cheng Guang the meals he needs when he comes back and the hot water he needs to use when he washes and bathes.

Cheng Guang's heart warmed slightly, "Qingluan, don't be busy, just let the servants send some food casually." ”

Entering the courtyard gate, Qingluan took some hot water for him to wash his hands.

Cheng Guang replied with a smile: "I've been working outside for the past few days, so you don't need to wait for me to come back, go to bed early if it's not early." ”

Qingluan shook his head stubbornly and said, "The prince has not come back, where can Qingluan sleep first, at least after serving the prince to wash up, Qingluan can feel at ease." ”

Cheng Guang smiled dumbly when he saw this, and he didn't know what to say.

Qingluan made a proposal instead, and looked at Cheng Guang with her beautiful eyes flashing.

"Why don't you go out to handle the case and bring Qingluan with you, okay?"

When Cheng Guang heard this, he immediately cried and laughed, "What are you talking about, where can you bring a woman when you go out to handle a case, everyone is a rough man, and it is inconvenient to bring you a woman." ”

"But after a few days of investigation, I already have a little bit of an idea of the location of the demon clan, and the matter of this demon clan should be over immediately."

When Qingluan heard this, Jiao Yan was obviously stunned, tilted her head to look at Cheng Guang, and asked curiously: "Alas, Shizi, you have been investigating the demon clan for the past few days, I thought you were looking for the nostalgic prince." ”

"What does it have to do with the demon clan who smuggled in and miss the prince?"

"Could it be that the prince of the world is looking for Bai Shuxuan?"

Cheng Guang smiled and said, "You don't understand this." ”

Qingluan said "um" lightly, and her beautiful eyes flashed at Cheng Guang again, as if she wanted to wait for Cheng Guang to explain to her and solve her doubts.

However, Cheng Guang lost the interest in answering, and became a fan again.

Qingluan puffed out her mouth angrily, her red lips pursed, and her little hand wanted to pinch Cheng Guang's waist, but she didn't dare after all, so she could only sulk secretly.

Cheng Guang laughed for a moment when he saw this, and just as he was about to say something, outside the house, the voice of Steward Wang came.

"Shizi, the lord asked you to go to the main hall, and General Qin said that he wanted to meet you."

After Steward Wang's voice came, Qingluan was obviously stunned, but quickly reacted and pushed Cheng Guang to get up.

"Oh, Shizi, I almost forgot just now, General Qin came over early this morning, but Shizi was handling cases outside at the time, so I didn't know yet."

"Then General Qin should have made a special trip to discuss your marriage with the head of the family, and I have been waiting for you for a day."

"Hurry up and meet General Qin, if the time drags on late, it's not good."

Qingluan said, and pushed Cheng Guang to walk out.

Cheng Guang was helpless, and said in his heart that his ass was not hot yet.

He knew that this General Qin was still in the mansion, but he didn't expect that the other party came over early in the morning, and the reason why he hadn't left was entirely because he wanted to meet him, his future son-in-law.

As for him just returning home, the other party sent someone to call him over.

Qingluan helped Cheng Guang tidy up his clothes, and he didn't have time to change the clothes of the lantern division on his body, so he simply wore them directly and went over to see the general Qin.

The clothes of this lantern keeper are not ugly, and there is nothing presumptuous and rude to wear them out to meet guests.

Out of the courtyard gate, Cheng Guang went straight to the main hall.

At this time, in the Zhenguo Mansion, there were already many people sitting in the hall of the welcoming courtyard.

"General Qin wait a little, Guang'er's kid has already been called, and he will come soon."

Wu Yuemei sat on top and said softly.

On Wu Yuemei's side, Cheng Zhihai also smiled and said to General Qin on the side: "Speaking of which, Qin Beifeng, this is the first time you have seen my family Guang'er, right?" ”

"My family Guang'er has been in the limelight recently, and I don't know if you have heard of it, in the martial arts competition between the Great Wei and the Great Zhou, my family Guang'er is much more conspicuous than some of the martial arts students who participated in the competition."

Cheng Zhihai's old face was not red, and his heart was not beating, boasting about Cheng Guang's exploits.

In the hall, the middle-aged man who was called General Qin, also known as Qin Beifeng, nodded from time to time.

didn't pay attention to Cheng Zhihai's words, just looked out of the hall, as if waiting for someone.

When he saw a tall figure outside the hall gradually approaching, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he involuntarily stood up and walked towards the comer.

"Oh, this is Guang'er, it's really extraordinary, I don't know how many times Jun is compared to your father, when I first saw your portrait, I couldn't believe it, you are the grandson of the old man, the son of this Cheng Zhihai."

Qin Beifeng said as he looked at Cheng Guang's appearance, and saw that even if Cheng Guang was facing him, his gaze did not shift in the slightest, his eyes were blazing, neither humble nor arrogant, and he was immediately satisfied.

What made Qin Beifeng even more satisfied was not only Cheng Guang's appearance, but Cheng Guang's temperament.

is obviously the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion, a figure who stands at the peak of the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he does not have the temperament of a gentleman, not only does not have a domineering appearance, but has a gentle smile, like a spring breeze.

As soon as Qin Beifeng saw this, he was even more satisfied.

If the prince of Zhenguo Mansion is so superficial and squirming, even if he has agreed to the old prince and marry his own daughter to his grandson, he will still feel that he has pushed his daughter into the fire pit.

But now, he already felt that his choice was not too bad.

Qin Beifeng was very enthusiastic, while he was looking at Cheng Guang, Cheng Guang was also looking at him.

Qin Beifeng looked like he was thirty years old, tall and straight, like a straight pine tree, standing on the ground, with a majestic and lofty spirit, and his whole body naturally revealed a majestic and firm temperament.

The costume is also very simple, a black-green battle armor is inlaid with gold patterns, and a sword blade dyed with a faint blood color hangs around the waist, and the light on the sword body is still shining with speckled glass spots under the light of the setting sun.

The temperament is extraordinary, and the strength is amazing.

This Qin Beifeng and Cheng Zhihai are the same age, and in terms of cultivation, it seems that they are a little higher than Cheng Zhihai......

Cheng Guang looked at Qin Beifeng and felt that this big man could become his father-in-law, not only because his daughter was peerless, but also because this big man himself was worth wooing.

"Uncle Qin."

Cheng Guang looked at Qin Beifeng for a while, and didn't pay too much attention, and if he looked at it again, it would be a bit rude, so he bowed his head slightly and saluted Qin Beifeng.

Qin Beifeng didn't support it, and hurriedly supported Cheng Guang.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Qin Beifeng praised Cheng Guang's extraordinary appearance, and at the same time degraded Cheng Zhihai's appearance to worthless.

Cheng Zhihai was not angry, and watched with a smile on the side.

He also thinks that his son's appearance is much more handsome than himself.

At the same time, Cheng Guang is also praising Qin's northern temperament and the demeanor of a general.

Cheng Guang's praise of people's kung fu was a little more clever than some old fritters in the court under the influence of many colleagues in his previous life, Qin Beifeng, a general who didn't have many fancy intestines, was praised by Cheng Guang for a while, and he couldn't stop laughing.

Wu Yuemei on the side covered her mouth with one hand, chuckled, and hurriedly interrupted the two.

If they continue to praise each other like this, then there is no need to talk about other things, just keep boasting about it.

Qin Beifeng stopped, but he still had an unfinished expression, feeling that he hated to see Cheng Guang late, and he couldn't wait to pull Cheng Guang again and chat for three days and three nights.

"Guang'er, this is your Uncle Qin, who is also a general by your grandfather's side, and his daughter Qin Yanqiu is your fiancée."

Wu Yuemei said softly at this time: "We just discussed it, set the wedding date, and decided to hold the wedding of the two of you a month later, that is, after the royal ceremony." ”

"Before the royal festival, our Zhenguo Mansion is not easy to do a big job, if it steals the limelight of the royal festival, even if the emperor won't say anything, but other people, or many ministers in the court, will still gossip."

After Wu Yuemei finished speaking, Cheng Guang also nodded, indicating understanding.

Cheng Zhihai smiled and said, "Guang'er, do you have anything you want to ask about this wedding period?" ”

"If you think it's too early, you can also put it off again, today I originally planned to let him meet Yanqiu's child in advance, but it's a pity that Yanqiu's child didn't come."

"Said that it was because the demon clan was not very calm on the battlefield side of the realm recently, so there was no way, so General Qin took the time to come over and discuss the marriage date with us."

Cheng Guang shook his head, indicating that he had no opinion.

Qin Yanqiu can be rated as a good marriage object by the system, his qualifications, character and appearance are extraordinary, and it is already good luck to be able to marry such a woman, and it is not impossible if the marriage date can be a little earlier.

And Qin Beifeng on the side sighed at this time, frowned, and there was a lot of helplessness in his eyes.

"Yanqiu's temperament is not like ours at all, Guang'er, if it is after marriage, you have to be more considerate of her, this time I don't come, I also think that the child is too shy, it's not that I don't want to come."

Although Qin Beifeng said so and found a reason for his daughter, he still felt embarrassed, and his old face was flushed.

The two families discussed the marriage date, and the woman logically said that even if she didn't show her face, it was okay to come over, but she didn't want to come.

"It's okay, I also know Yanqiu's child's temperament, it's cold on the outside and hot on the inside, but it's also delayed, not deliberately snubbing us."

Wu Yuemei didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter, and seeing that Qin Beifeng was a little ashamed for a while, she took the initiative to comfort her.

"She doesn't dare, if she dares to snub you, I'll break her legs!"

Qin Beifeng raised his eyebrows, and immediately said loudly.

Wu Yue, who was on the side, smiled and shook her head: "It's not necessary, she is the future daughter-in-law of our Zhenguo Mansion, so I can't let you hurt her." ”

Cheng Zhihai laughed: "Okay, Qin Beifeng, I don't know what kind of character you are?" You can't wait to keep Yanqiu's Nizi by your side every day, the baby is amazing, if you can break her leg, it will really be the sun coming out of the west. ”

Qin Beifeng was pierced by his thoughts, but he didn't care, and he smiled silently.

He didn't really want to break Qin Yanqiu's legs, as long as Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei knew their attitude.

Everyone chatted for a while, and seeing that the sky was about to get completely dark, Qin Beifeng was about to get up and leave.

Before leaving, Qin Beifeng seemed to have thought of something again, and looked at Cheng Zhihai and said, "You seem to have encountered something difficult recently?" ”

"I miss the prince, can it be solved?"

"If you need my help, just ask."

When Cheng Zhihai heard this, he was so angry that he laughed, and pretended to do it.

"Hey! You Qin Beifeng, Lao Tzu is the best at investigating people and handling cases, what can you do to me as a reckless man who can only fight, don't mix it up. ”

Qin Beifeng smiled, and was not angry, "It's the best, but don't really be directly abolished by the emperor in the end, and stay at home in the end, and don't have to do anything." ”

"However, then again, this is also a good thing, and it is also a good thing to bring more grandchildren with me in the future."

As soon as Cheng Zhihai heard this, his face darkened, and he didn't want to speak anymore.

Qin Beifeng smiled, thought about it, looked at Cheng Guang, took out a token from his arms, and handed it to Cheng Guang.

"Shizi, this token can contact Yanqiu at any time, even if it is thousands of miles apart, you can communicate, the two of you will get along more in the past few days, and when the wedding date comes, you will not be separated."

After that, Qin Beifeng turned around and went out, about to leave.

Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei pulled Cheng Guang out to deliver it.

Qin Beifeng was resolute, and this time he came back to Kyoto just to discuss the marriage date with the Zhenguo Mansion, and as soon as the matter was over, he had to rush back to the realm battlefield.

Qin Beifeng played a pivotal role in the realm battlefield, and even in the entire Northern Expeditionary Army, without him, although the entire Northern Expeditionary Army would not be able to function, but at least it would still be affected to some extent.

Cheng Guang guessed that he married Qin Yanqiu this time, perhaps because Qin Yanqiu was in the Northern Expeditionary Army, and her father Qin Beifeng had a special status in the Northern Expeditionary Army.

In the future, if Cheng Guang wants to inherit the million-dollar Northern Expeditionary Army, even if he has no strength, with the help of his father-in-law Qin Beifeng, it will not be much difficult to inherit it.

Qin Beifeng quickly left, leaving with a few old soldiers.

Riding a strange beast like a black wind, it soared into the sky, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Even if this cultivation is not yet the Heaven and Man Realm, it is also the existence of the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm, and it may be a little bit short of the Heaven and Man Realm.

If it weren't for Qin Beifeng's service in the Northern Expeditionary Army, just by virtue of his high and deep cultivation, he would at least be a minister of the Ministry of War in the imperial court.

After Qin Beifeng left, Cheng Guang followed Wu Yuemei and Cheng Zhihai back to the house.

Wu Yuemei was still sighing, "It's a pity, Yanqiu's child didn't come over, otherwise I really want to see that child, I haven't seen her with my own eyes for many years." ”

Cheng Zhihai didn't care about this, but was rubbing his chin, not knowing what he was thinking, but casually responded to Wu Yue's eyebrows.

The two of them chatted casually, and when the two of them were about to return to the small courtyard, Cheng Guang, who had been following the two of them, stopped Cheng Zhihai.

Cheng Zhihai turned his head and looked at Cheng Guang with a puzzled expression, "Guang'er, why are you still following us, do you want to sleep with your father?" How old are they? ”

Saying that, Cheng Zhihai also showed a look of disgust, and he had a sense of immediacy that the stinky boy should not disturb your father's good deeds.

Inexplicably, their own children are all accidents, and the two of them are the feeling of true love.

Cheng Guang didn't care, and beckoned to Cheng Zhihai, "Dad, I have something." ”

Cheng Zhihai heard Cheng Guang say this, and then looked at Cheng Guang's somewhat cautious appearance, and there were some doubts in his heart, and he said a few words to Wu Yuemei, and asked Wu Yuemei to go back to the room first, and then took Cheng Guang to the side of the pavilion and sat down.

Cheng Zhihai poured Cheng Guang a cup of hot tea and asked, "Guang'er, what's wrong?" ”

Cheng Guang didn't drink tea, his eyes looked at Cheng Zhihai's face, and said, "Dad, I may have found out where the demon clan smuggled in." ”

"It's not that simple behind this matter, maybe it has something to do with the black-robed man, that is, with the nostalgic prince."

As soon as Cheng Guang said this, Cheng Zhihai's face changed.

He knew that the previous incidents of demon clan smuggling appeared frequently, and the purpose was to lure him out of Kyoto so that the people behind them could assassinate Cheng Guang.

It's just that they didn't succeed that time.

Later, there was a disturbance in the martial arts competition between the two countries of the Great Wei and the Great Zhou, and for a while he didn't have time to deal with the smuggling of the demon clan, and planned to wait until these things were over recently, and then go to find out how and where the demon clan smuggled over.

It's just that later, in these things, there is a figure of nostalgia for the prince.

He is now thinking about how to find out where the nostalgic prince is and where the nostalgic prince is hiding.

For a while, it was as if I had walked into a labyrinth and fallen into a dead end.

Now that Cheng Guang mentioned it, he suddenly woke up.

Yes, the people who assassinated Guang'er before were the same people who disrupted the martial arts competition between the Great Wei and Great Zhou countries this time.

So that is to say......

The frequent smuggling of the demon clan in the past has a lot to do with the nostalgia of the prince and those black-robed people.

Thinking about the information that he has been reading for the past few days, Cheng Zhihai has a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he has caught something, but it seems that he has caught nothing.

Anyway.

These demon clans who smuggled in are absolutely inseparable from the nostalgia of the prince.

Cheng Zhihai already had a thought in his heart, and immediately looked at Cheng Guang again, "Guang'er, where did you find the place where the demon clan smuggled out?" ”

Cheng Guang saw that Cheng Zhihai was interested, but he was not in a hurry at this time, picked up the tea, took a sip gently, and said, "In the canal!" ”

"Canal?" Cheng Zhihai couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard the word canal from Cheng Guang's mouth.

It seems that the word canal mentioned by Cheng Guang suddenly touched his knowledge blind spot.

In the past, although he hadn't started to investigate the affairs of the demon clan, his subordinates would still check it out to some extent.

It's just that......

No one has ever found out that the place where the demon clan smuggled is in the canal.

After all, the places where the demon clan appeared and attacked people were quite far away from the canal.

Could it be that these demon clans deliberately went far along the canal to prevent the Lantern Division from connecting them with the canal?

Think about it again, although the places where those demon clans appear are far away from the canal, there are tributaries of the canal passing by nearby.

Although the canal is huge and has many tributaries, ordinary people will not associate the appearance of the demon clan with the tributaries of the canal.

But as soon as Cheng Guang reminded him at this time, Cheng Zhihai found out that something was wrong.

If there are two cases together, and the place where the demon clan appears, there are canal tributaries next to it, it can still be an accident.

But with a lot going on, it's unlikely to be an accident.

Cheng Zhihai thought carefully, and gently tapped the table with one hand, which was inexplicably a little similar to Cheng Guang's appearance when he was thinking.

Cheng Zhihai is not stupid, on the contrary, the person who can master the Lantern Division is not ordinary smart.

He didn't find out the demon clan before, but he didn't pay attention to it, but now that he paid attention to it, and after Cheng Guang's reminder, he immediately realized that the place where the demon clan smuggled was inseparable from the canal.

"Have you found the location of the distance?" Cheng Zhihai looked at Cheng Guang and asked softly.

Cheng Guang nodded, "The approximate range has been determined." ”

Hearing Cheng Guang say this, Cheng Zhihai couldn't help but take a breath and marvel.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Guang had really found out the specific location.

Although I don't know what means those demon clans used to smuggle people, but the concealment is extremely high, even if Cheng Guang knows that the place where the demon clan is hiding is in the canal, it is not so easy to find out the specific location of the demon clan.

Cheng Zhihai just thought about it carefully, and then he also figured out where Cheng Guang deduced the general scope of the demon clan's smuggling.

Even so, he was shocked by Cheng Guang's actions.

In the Lantern Division, it is not that no one is investigating the smuggling of the demon clan, but the results and results are not very good.

Cheng Zhihai really didn't expect that Cheng Guang would be able to achieve such an achievement just by joining the Lighting Division, but only a week's work.

If it is the approximate range that Cheng Guang said, it is really the location of the demon clan's smuggling, which is a great achievement.

Even if he doesn't pave the way for Cheng Guang, just this one feat, Cheng Guang can be directly promoted to become a white light catcher.

No matter how hard you work, if you can dig out the clues of missing the prince from the smuggling of this demon clan, and directly promote to the silver lamp catcher, or even the golden lamp catcher, it is not impossible.

Cheng Zhihai sighed in his heart, and under the rippling mood, he couldn't help but get excited.

"Where?"

Cheng Zhihai asked.

Cheng Guang took out the map prepared in advance from his arms, spread it out on the stone table, and then pointed to a location in the canal in the map and drew a circle.

"Right here."

"Huh, here?" Cheng Zhihai looked at the location and looked surprised.

It's not that the position that Cheng Guang is pointing to is too biased, but that it's ......

That's right.

The location of this canal is very close to the location of Tsurumaki Island, and it is also very close to Kyoto, and even he has inadvertently passed by this area of canal several times.

But......

I didn't find out what mystery was hidden under the canal.

Nothing was found.

If Cheng Guang hadn't mentioned it at this time, he was afraid that he wouldn't have felt that there would be something hidden in this canal.

It was even more unthinkable that the place where the demon clan smuggled was so grandly hidden under their noses in Kyoto.

Is this just darkness under the lights?

Cheng Zhihai groped his chin, and his face became ugly.

He felt that he had been greatly insulted inexplicably.

The masterminds behind this demon smuggling have great confidence, confident that they will not be discovered by the people of the Lantern Division, and even more confident that they can hide from the Lantern Division and the powerful people in Kyoto.

Even if it was the Great Zhou Emperor, they could hide it.

Why??

Cheng Zhihai just wants to ask now, why are the people behind this demon clan's smuggling so confident?

Even if this matter is related to the nostalgia of the prince, the nostalgia prince is not a particularly powerful cultivator, how can he be confident that the demon clan is hidden within a hundred miles of Kyoto, and can not be discovered by countless powerhouses?

Could it be that behind this, it is not only the nostalgia of the prince who participates in it?

Nostalgia for the prince is not only hooked up with the demon clan, but even hooked up with the demon emperor of the demon clan??

As soon as he thought of this, Cheng Zhihai felt his scalp tingle.

He hurriedly fell his gaze on Cheng Guang's body, staring at Cheng Guang deadly, and clasped Cheng Guang's arm with one hand.

"Guang'er, you didn't take the initiative to investigate, did you? That's not a place you can mess with! ”

Cheng Guang shook his head, "I didn't investigate, but after discovering the general scope of the other party, I didn't continue to go deeper." ”

Cheng Zhihai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Cheng Guang say this.

He is actually also concerned about chaos, if Cheng Guang takes the initiative to investigate, those demon clans hidden under the canal will not easily let Cheng Guang go.

If it really comes to that time, I'm afraid that it will not be Cheng Guang who came to take the initiative to report this matter to him, but that after he found out that Cheng Guang was missing, he took the initiative to look for it himself, so that he could find out about it.

Cheng Zhihai pondered.

Nostalgic for the relationship between the prince and the demon clan, the demon emperor of the demon clan may still be involved, they can hide under the canal and have not left yet, is the purpose to lure him away from Kyoto, so that they can assassinate Cheng Guang?

Maybe this is part of their purpose, but it is definitely not the ultimate goal of missing the prince.

What exactly is their purpose?

Many doubts and many mysteries shrouded Cheng Zhihai's heart at this time.

He couldn't figure out for a while, what did the missing prince and the demon clan behind him want to do, or rather, what did they want to do next?

first assassinated his own Guang'er, and then disrupted the two national martial arts competitions between Da Zhou and Da Wei, all of which were aimed at disrupting Da Zhou and making Da Zhou chaotic.

What's next that is particularly important to Da Zhou??

Thinking like this, a word suddenly entered Cheng Zhihai's brain.

Royal Festival......

I miss the crown prince, and the next step is to do it at the royal festival.

That's why they hide the smuggling port in the canal, under the canal so close to Kyoto......

Cheng Zhihai thought of this, his scalp trembled, there was the participation of the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan, and he had to disrupt the royal festival, and at that time, the ban might not be able to play much of a role.

If the demon clan attacks during the royal festival, the cultivators who have cultivated to a strong strength may be fine, but some other people who do not have much cultivation strength, such as Wu Yuemei, are afraid that they will not be able to escape.

A large number of people died, and Da Zhou was really chaotic!

Cheng Zhihai thought of this, and he didn't have the heart to go back to the hospital and continue to warm up with Wu Yuemei for a while.

Although he has not yet found the whereabouts of Prince Missile, he already knows what Prince Missile's next step will be.

He had to prepare early.

Cheng Zhihai left quickly.

Cheng Guang sat in the pavilion, slowly took a sip of tea, and sat in the pavilion to observe the moonlight.

The cool moonlight scattered from the sky.

There are no clouds in the sky, and the moonlight can fall straight and unhindered by the mission, covering the earth with a silvery white veil.

"The matter of the demon clan's smuggling is solved, and the plan to miss the prince will be affected to a certain extent, at least at the royal festival, there will be a little less chaos, but it is not so easy to completely find out the missing prince."

"If you go directly to visit King Nanming and forcibly arrest him, it would be good if it could be proved that he missed the prince, but if he had any means to hide his identity, in the end, there was no way to verify his identity as missing the prince, I am afraid that there would be no way to end it."

"The hundred officials of the imperial court were already very afraid of the Lantern Division, and now if the Lantern Division also extends his hand directly to the royal family, it can be said that it will be pointed out by the hundred officials."

Cheng Guang thought about how to find a better way, first contact the king of Nanming, and see if there is any opportunity and evidence to be able to directly identify that the king of Nanming misses the prince.

If there is no way, Cheng Guang estimates that he can only wait until the royal festival to see if King Nanming will leak any chicken feet.

Cheng Guang sat in the gazebo and thought for a while, then got up and went back to the Vientiane Garden, washed up briefly, didn't eat anything, and prepared to sleep.

In the past few days, in order to check the canal, where is the location of the demon clan's smuggling, he has not slept well.

Now that most of this matter has been resolved, the rest of the things can be left to Cheng Zhihai to do, and there is no need for him to do anything more.

When Cheng Guang gradually fell asleep.

Cheng Zhihai's side was already not very calm.

He knew that in the canal, there might be a demon emperor of the demon clan involved, and he couldn't sit still immediately, if he took the courage to take Qian Siyuan and Li Zhengyang, who were in charge of the lamp, to go, I was afraid that he might not be able to suppress the demon emperor.

You have to ask the heavens to help.

And the realm of heaven and man on the face of Da Zhou Ming is only two or three people.

The only celestial man in Kyoto is still the Great Zhou Emperor.

Even if Cheng Zhihai didn't want to alarm the Great Zhou Emperor, he was no longer allowed to make his own decisions in this matter.

You have to ask the Great Zhou Emperor to try it himself.

Cheng Zhihai entered the palace overnight, begged to see the Great Zhou Emperor, and pulled the Great Zhou Emperor up from the dragon bed.

The Great Zhou Emperor's clothes were untidy, and there were still some red lip prints on his face, and his face was pitch black, and he had a sense of immediacy that his interest was disturbed.

After a brief tidying up of his clothes, his face was slightly gloomy, and he looked at Cheng Zhihai who pulled him up from the dragon bed.

"Zhihai, this big night, you didn't accompany Yuemei in the mansion, why did you come to the palace to find me?"

The Great Zhou Emperor was puzzled!

Emperor Da Zhou was already a little suspicious at this time, whether Cheng Zhihai hated that he wanted to strip the lantern division from his hands, so he didn't sleep in the middle of the night and made a special trip to disturb his interest.

However, Cheng Zhihai's cautious face still made him dispel this idea, but he couldn't think of anything else that could make Cheng Zhihai disregard the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, break directly into the royal harem, and find him directly.

Cheng Zhihai didn't care about the face of the Great Zhou Emperor, and saluted directly: "Your Majesty, the matter of the demon clan has been investigated!" ”

After Cheng Zhihai finished speaking, he added, "Guang'er found it!" ”

As he spoke, he was proud.

The Great Zhou Emperor was speechless.

The matter of the demon clan has been found?

It's those demon clans who smuggled in not long ago?

Those demon clans are all small fish and shrimp, for the Great Zhou Emperor, it is no different to solve it sooner or later, he saw Cheng Zhihai so cautious, and thought that he missed the prince and found it.

Emperor Da Zhou yawned, slightly interested, and was about to wave Cheng Zhihai to leave.

I only heard Cheng Zhihai say again: "Your Majesty, this time the matter of the demon clan's smuggling is not so simple, there is nostalgia for the prince's involvement, behind the smuggling of the demon clan, maybe there is the shadow of the demon emperor." ”

As soon as Cheng Zhihai's words came out, Emperor Da Zhou's face began to change.

Behind the smuggling of the demon clan, there is still nostalgia for the prince to participate in it??

Miss the prince hooking up with the demon clan??

The Great Zhou Emperor groaned, feeling that although this was ridiculous, it was not impossible.

Remembering the prince is really possible to do anything.

It's just that the only thing he didn't expect was that behind this matter, there was actually the participation of the Demon Emperor.

What is the Demon Emperor?

It is a strong person in the demon clan who is comparable to the realm of heaven and man.

Generally speaking, a strong person of this level will not make a move easily.

But this time, there was even a shadow of the Demon Emperor participating in it.

No matter what this Demon Emperor thinks, as long as he appears in his Great Zhou territory, he must be uneasy and kind.

It has to be solved!

Otherwise, I don't know what hidden dangers will be buried.

When the Great Zhou Emperor heard this, he didn't have much thought of continuing to go back to bed and warm up with his concubines, so he just asked with a calm face.

"Where?"

Cheng Zhihai took out the map, pointed to the location on the map, and said, "Here." ”

The Great Zhou Emperor nodded slightly, stopped talking, changed his clothes, and immediately stepped out.

"Let's go, let's see."

Cheng Zhihai followed closely.

At the same time, in Kyoto, large and small figures rose to the sky, with a strong coercion, rushing towards the canal valley.

There was no longer peace in the Lantern Division, and countless Lantern Division's catchers were urgently summoned, rode horses, and rushed towards the canal valley.

For a time, the situation changed.

Many powerful families in Kyoto, princes and ministers were awakened by this movement.

I didn't care about wearing clothes, so I hurriedly ran out of the house and looked up at the sky.

"What's going on?"

"Even if the people in charge of the Lantern Division are dispatched, even His Majesty has been dispatched?"

"Which country's public magnates have treasoned? No, even if the magnates of the country are treasonous, there will not be such a big movement, Your Majesty will personally ...... it."

"You see, Your Majesty still has the direction in which the Lantern Division left, it seems to be a canal ......"

"What do they do in the canal???"

"Don't make it!"

Everyone was extremely confused at this moment.

And in the team of the Lantern Division.

Chen Qing and the four of them also followed a lantern division to the canal valley, and at this moment, they didn't know why, they all felt that this sudden emergency call had a great relationship with Du Shizi.

It was only a few days before the prince investigated the case, and there was such a big movement.

It's hard to say that it has nothing to do with the son.

It just so happened that by the side of Chen Qing and the others, Xu Hongfei was also there.

So they all set their eyes on Xu Hongfei.

"Xu Hongfei, what is the purpose of this emergency convening? Does it have anything to do with the son? ”

Chen Qing asked the question that everyone wanted to know.

It's not just Chen Qing who knows that Xu Hongfei has been following Shizi to investigate the case recently.

Although I don't know what I'm investigating, I think Xu Hongfei is lucky.

Being able to follow the son of the world, even if he doesn't do anything, as long as he hugs the thigh of the son, it is an opportunity in heaven.

They actually didn't know that Chen Qing and the four of them also had this great opportunity at the beginning, but they gave it up again.

Every time I think of this, Chen Qing's hearts are about to die of repentance.

But there is no turning back.

I could only break my teeth and swallow them in my stomach.

In the face of everyone's doubts, Xu Hongfei showed a mysterious smile on his face, "Don't say, don't say." ”

"You still underestimate the energy of the son."

Xu Hongfei has been following Cheng Guang for a long time, and he already has the potential to be a fan.

When the people around him heard Xu Hongfei say this, they all gritted their teeth a little, and they wanted to bite Xu Hongfei to death.

But not waiting for them to say anything.

I had already left Kyoto, and there was a shouting of high-grade silver and gold catching.

"Silence!"

Everyone remained silent and silently ran in the direction of the canal.
