This is an antique study room filled with whale fragrance and smoke. Through the incense mist, he saw a somewhat gloomy back, facing a painting, but the painting had a broken corner, and there were signs of burning in the missing corner.

This is a picture of the rising sun in the east, only to see a round of red sun slowly rising on the sparkling sea, if you look closely, there is a person in the red sun stepping on the waves. The people in the painting are lifelike like real people, and the person who admires the painting sighs leisurely: "Is the foundation of my Hai family for hundreds of thousands of years going to be buried in my hands like this?"

The person who sighed was Hai Tianqing, the city lord of Linyuan City, just now he was questioned by Princess Pingyang, at first Hai Tianqing still had an indifferent attitude, in his mind that the woman in ink was just a noble girl on Lushan Mountain, and he heard Jiang Wu say that she was still his cousin. In Hai Tianqing's cognition, these big families are flourishing, and the woman in ink may be just a side branch, because Hai Tianqing has made the children of various wealthy families clear over the years.

Even which son's son and young lady have any favorites, they are all in Hai Tianqing's mind, and the reason is that his Hai family relies on the support of the nobles on Lushan Mountain to always occupy the only seaside city in Daqin. But don't say that it's because of the strength of the Hai family, no matter how strong the Hai family is, it's just a boy after all, not to mention a thousand uncles like Daqin, but also hundreds. Why can his Hai family always occupy this Linyuan City?

Of course, the remnant of the ancestors is one thing, but in front of all kinds of rare treasures in the sea, the remnants of the ancestors have long been wiped out in the years of 200,000 years. Why did the Hai family monopolize this Linyuan City? The answer is very simple, the Hai family will operate it, and it will also work up and down.

So Hai Tianqing naturally had the detailed information of the nobles in his hands, but what Hai Tianqing never expected was that the son of a side branch he thought was the daughter of that person.

Hai Tianqing's eyes fell on the mutilation of a corner of the painting, he vaguely remembered the fire in the house that day, the fire burned for three days and three nights, but there was no hatred in Hai Tianqing's eyes, there was only boundless fear.

His Hai family is strong, but in the face of the Zhu family lineage that has been passed down from ancient times to the present, and in the face of a person who can suppress the demon kingdom in the sea into obedience, he knows that if this matter is not handled well, it will definitely be a disaster to exterminate the clan, just when he was worried.

At this time, a figure flashed in, and he was Hai Tianqing's shadow Ah Qing.

Ah Qing knelt down on one knee: "Master, the matter has been done!"

Hai Tianqing collected her emotions and turned around: "Can you notify all chambers of commerce?"

"Informed!"

Hai Tianqing repeated repeatedly: "That's good, that's good!"

"By the way, master, my subordinates just saw the purple armor guard searching for something in the mansion on the way back to the mansion. You see if you should notify the young master to go out to avoid the limelight!"

Hai Tianqing thought thoughtfully, the dark room under the city lord's mansion, in fact, many henchmen in the mansion knew. Hai Tianqing is worried about this matter, if he is found out by Zijiawei, or someone informes, then Hai Tianqing has to be prepared to die and the net is broken.

Of course, Hai Tianqing also thought about handing over Zhu Ruirui, but Hai Tianqing knew that if Zhu Ruirui was released at this time, maybe the mansion would be overturned by the angry sword cultivator. Of course, this is only a visible consequence, and the subsequent anger from the Fire Nation is what Hai Tianqing is most worried about.

Although there is a gap between Qin and Huo, if the Zhu family sends a master to settle the account, Hai Tianqing asked himself that even if he took out his family background, he would not be able to resist, and he could only go all the way to the dark for the sake of today's plan. Then everything is dealt with neatly, and only then can you avoid this catastrophe for the time being.

As for the return of the Fire Nation after that, Hai Tianqing has already roughly thought of a countermeasure, but this is not to be mentioned for the time being. He asked the Chamber of Commerce in the city to make trouble, but it had a deep meaning. That sword cultivator surnamed Shi had killed countless people in the air, which naturally attracted the dissatisfaction and even resentment of the major forces in Linyuan City. The most important thing is that Jian Xiu surnamed Shi still has a royal merman in his hand, but there is a lot to be done here.

Now Hai Tianqing's only worry is Hai Wuliang's side, he doesn't know what his son is thinking? Even if they are father and son, but his son's mother identity is not ordinary.

Hai Tianqing said coldly: "Recently, Wuliang has been in contact with the sea?"

"There is a connection, and the matter of the sea ship must be inseparable from the young master. ”

Hai Tianqing asked again: "Has the old scar who went to deal with maritime affairs come back?"

"I should have come back at the right time, but I haven't seen them. ”

Hai Tianqing paced left and right, he was thinking about how to use the recent chaos between Linyuan City and the offshore sea to cover up Zhu Ruirui's affairs. Hai Tianqing thought about it again and again, and finally said: "Pass the order, close all the secret passages leading to the underground in the mansion, and tell Wuliang to let him stay underground these days, and when they will leave, when will he let him out." ”

"Yes, master!"

After speaking, Ah Qing turned into a black shadow and disappeared in an instant.

At the same time, Zi Yiyi and Three were walking around the City Lord's Mansion with several purple armor guards, when suddenly Zi Yiyi and Three heard a voice.

"Master, there seems to be something wrong with the wall in front of you, do you want to take a look?"

Purple one, two, three steps paused, and he first asked the few purple armor guards who followed him to act separately. And he himself walked towards the moss-covered wall, which was no more than a foot thick.

With the help of that voice, Zi Yiyi, Two, and Three quickly penetrated into the wall like a young man in Tsing Yi. When he saw a long, dim corridor, Purple One, Two, Three showed a smile that looked a little stiff.

If you look closely, you will find that the skin on his face is a little wrinkled.

When Zi 123 was about to go down the road, suddenly there was a slight sound behind him.

"It's not good, the exit is blocked, it can't be a trap here, right?"

Zi 123 said: "That's not necessarily! Let's go, since you're here, you should have some fun." Maybe we can meet Lin Feng's baby Ah Li!"

At this time, not long after Zi 123 disappeared, the armor soldiers who had just been sent by Zi 123 to search returned, and when they found that Wu Chang was missing, they immediately reported the news to Chen Zhong, and Chen Zhong did not delay to rush to the small courtyard where Qiu Fangrou was.

Although it was past midnight at this time, Qiu Fangrou did not rest, and now she was discussing the specific details of the plan with Lin Feng and Ji Xiaosheng, to be precise, the two of them and one demon.

In this plan, Ji Xiaosheng is the key, because Ji Xiaosheng can read minds.

Of course, in Ji Xiaosheng's description, this kind of mind reading technique is flawed, that is, Ji Xiaosheng can only read the voice of a person within ten steps, and it is still what this person thinks at this time. If you don't want to, Ji Xiaosheng can't read it.

So now Lin Feng and if they want to find Ah Li, they must let Ji Xiaosheng get within ten steps of Hai Tianqing, and also let Hai Tianqing think about Ah Li in his heart, it is best to let him say the specific location of Ah Li in his heart.

It doesn't seem complicated, but the first step, which is also the core of the core, is wrong.

Ji Xiaosheng opened her big blue eyes and said, "People's abilities can only be used three times a day, and I have already used up this fierce uncle just now!"

After Lin Feng listened, he had a feeling in his heart that he wanted to cut this cute little fishman into slices and hang them up to dry.

"What do you mean you can only use it three times a day, and why do you just run out?"

Ji Xiaosheng said weakly: "Because Xiao Sheng thinks you are fierce, Xiao Sheng wants to make sure that you will kill the fish..."

There was no way, Lin Feng could only restrain his thoughts under Qiu Fangrou's comfort, and besides, Qiu Fangrou had just called Hai Tianqing over, and now what reason was there to see him?

Putting aside the issue of Ji Xiaosheng's ability for the time being, we have to consider how to effectively capture Daohai Tianqing's inner thoughts in these three times. The so-called effective is to remind Hai Tianqing of the disappearance of Ah Li.

And people's hearts are uncontrollable, and Lin Feng and Qiu Fangrou can't guarantee that Hai Tianqing will know that Ji Xiaosheng has the magic power of mind reading, because if Hai Tianqing is deliberately misleading, then their plan will be completely ruined.

Three chances, within ten steps, Hai Tianqing didn't know about Ji Xiaosheng's existence.

Each condition is a necessity, and the difficulty is by no means as simple as one plus one.

Everyone decided to let Ji Xiaosheng pretend to be Qiu Fangrou's maid, and Lin Feng would go early tomorrow morning to inquire about Hai Tianqing's progress in finding someone.

At this moment, the news of Chen Zhong also came, and Lin Feng instructed the maid to "transform" Ji Xiaosheng while rushing to the place where the armorer had disappeared.

As for why Ji Xiaosheng is so cooperative, in fact, the reason is very simple, Lin Feng's big sword was put in front of Ji Xiaosheng, and promised to send him back to the Fishman Secret Realm afterwards, Ji Xiaosheng nodded violently like a chicken.

Of course, the so-called transformation is mainly the transformation of the hair, so far no one thought that the beauty salon career in the Canglan world would start with a fish man.

What should I do if the big blue wavy hair is too obvious, dyed black, and the blue eyes are too obvious?

But Lin Feng followed Chen Zhong to the place where Zi Yiyi and Three disappeared, this is also the place where Ah Li disappeared, Lin Feng's eyes were like torches, and suddenly his gaze fell on the moss wall.

Green told him, "Not long ago, there were signs of spatial distortion in front of me!"

Lin Feng didn't bother with what "space distortion" was, he took out his big sword and slashed at the wall.

It's just that Lin Feng was disappointed, this was really an ordinary wall just like it looked, and the "booming" collapsed wall naturally attracted Hai Tianqing.

When Hai Tianqing saw the ruins and broken walls, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his heart was secretly lining: "Fortunately, the passage was closed in time, otherwise, if this Shi surnamed Jian Xiu found out, maybe this city lord's mansion will not be peaceful tonight." ”

Lin Feng was a little annoyed, another clue was broken like this, and it was destroyed by his own hands. He now has a deep sense of powerlessness, he obviously knows that Hai Tianqing has a problem, but he can't cut him with a sword, because he has to take care of Ah Li.

Lin Feng also thought about persecuting Hai Tianqing, but Qiu Fangrou said that Hai Tianqing, a person who is good at management, will definitely not compromise easily. Lin Feng didn't dare to take risks, so they had to let Ji Xiaosheng give it a try. If Ji Xiaosheng couldn't read the information about Ah Li in Hai Tianqing's heart tomorrow, Lin Feng decided to control this Hai Tianqing first.

Lin Feng has always believed in Li Chengfeng's sentence: "Let you be charming, my sword cultivation will kill it with a sword!" This sentence obviously reflects the style of sword cultivation. But at this time, Lin Feng had a deeper understanding, sword cultivation slashed the world with a sword, not indiscriminately, if you want to slash, you have to slash in the subtlety.

Lin Feng looked at Hai Tianqing's hypocritical face, he forcibly endured the killing intent but turned to leave, he didn't want to have any verbal communication with Hai Tianqing, because Lin Feng was afraid that he couldn't help but kill him.

The sun rose and the moon set, and as soon as dawn cut through the darkness, Lin Feng couldn't wait to pull Ji Xiaosheng, who had completed the transformation, to prepare to find Hai Tianqing. At this time, Ji Xiaosheng's hair seemed to be splashed with ink, in a word, it was "black and shiny", the long hair in front of her forehead covered half of her face, but her clothes were wearing Qiu Fangrou's maid's clothes.

Qiu Fangrou saw Lin Feng's anxious appearance, and said softly: "Childe, are you going like this?"

Lin Feng said, "That's right! Hurry up, my heart is burning, this night has passed, and I still don't know what happened to Ah Li?"

Qiu Fangrou shook her head: "Childe, I mean you are also pulling Xiaosheng, aren't you afraid of making people suspicious?"

Lin Feng looked down and saw that he was dragging Ji Xiaosheng, and even because of his strength, Ji Xiaosheng's wrist was a little red. Lin Feng immediately let go of his hand. Also, in this world, there is no such thing as a guest pulling a young lady's maid.

However, just as Lin Feng and the others were about to go out, Lin Feng heard a commotion outside.

"Come out! ”

"Paying off debts and killing people to pay for their lives has been the morality of the rivers and lakes since ancient times. That sword cultivator killed the elder of our Chamber of Commerce for no reason, how can this matter be put to rest!

"Yes, he also killed the third uncle of my seventh uncle's nephew's second aunt! ”

"Yes, City Lord, as the Lord of Linyuan City, how can you allow this foreign sword cultivator to be presumptuous. We're not convinced!"

"Yes, if you don't accept it, you must bring the murderer to justice. ”

..........

Lin Feng was annoyed when he heard this, Lin Feng asked himself that the people he killed were the ones who should be killed. Last night, the sky was in the sky, and these people obstructed it "for no reason", and Lin Feng was anxious again. Of course, after understanding Ji Xiaosheng's identity, Lin Feng knew that these people were not blocking the way for no reason, but it was precisely because of this that Lin Feng felt that those people should be killed.

The Starfall Sword seemed to feel the killing intent of its master, but it automatically rose into the air. Qiu Fangrou pulled Lin Feng's sleeve.

"Childe, don't forget the business!"

Qiu Fangrou knew that Lin Feng had a grudge in his chest at this time, and if he didn't vent, he might hurt himself. But she wanted to remind Lin Feng that saving people was the first priority.

Lin Feng nodded at Qiu Fangrou, but he was one step ahead. Qiu Fangrou also walked out under the escort of Chen Zhong and others. At this time, Qiu Wuchang, who had been silent, said to Qiu Fangrou: "Sister Rou, the begonia is gone, and Lin Feng's horse is gone!"

Qiu Fangrou signaled that Qiu Haitang didn't need to say much, but at this time, she was secretly planning in her heart.

Shaoqing Qiu Fangrou said to everyone: "Let's go!"

In this way, under the escort of the purple armor guard, Qiu Fangrou walked out. And when she walked out of the courtyard gate and saw Hai Tianqing, she patted Ji Xiaosheng's hand. Ji Xiaosheng looked at the group of fierce and vicious people outside, and she couldn't help but tremble. She had never seen so many people since she was born. And in their dealings with the Shark Clan, the Shark Race describes humans as the most vicious species in the world.

Ji Xiaosheng shook her head at Qiu Fangrou, but she didn't want to move forward. Within ten steps, it is an instantaneous distance for a realm powerhouse.

Qiu Fangrou patted Ji Xiaosheng's hand again, she walked forward with another little maid, Chen Zhong wanted to take a step forward, but was signaled by Qiu Fangrou to step back, this time Qiu Fangrou was gambling, she was gambling on the sea and taking care of her identity as the princess of Daqin.

Although Chen Zhong failed to step forward, he took the purple armor guards in line, showing the majesty of Princess Daqin to the fullest. Chen Zhong also deliberately shouted outside the door: "Princess Pingyang has arrived!"

It stands to reason that this is the work of eunuchs, but Chen Zhong had to shout cheekily at this time. Not to mention, this voice has had an effect.

Whether it was Hai Tianqing, or the so-called bitter lord in Linyuan City, who was watching Lin Feng with a tiger's eye, they all looked at Qiu Fangrou. The people in Linyuan City were naturally impressed by the princess's stunning appearance.

Some people saluted the princess, some people looked at the new princess of Daqin, and of course there were people with dirty hearts, of course, no matter what they thought, but on the surface they were respectful.

When Hai Tianqing saw Qiu Fangrou's arrival, he said to the many bitter lords in Linyuan City: "Everyone, don't be impatient, Princess Daqin in person, if you have any grievances, just come here, by the way, this Shi Jianxiu is the guest of Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"What if it's Her Royal Highness the Princess? Her Royal Highness the Princess's guest can't kill people casually!

As soon as this statement came out, it was naturally a gathering of responders.

"Yes, yes!"

Someone else said, "We want an explanation anyway!"

Hai Tianqing said to everyone: "Everyone, don't be impatient, don't startle Princess Luan." As the lord of a city, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. Please also disperse, Her Royal Highness Princess still has important matters to deal with. ”

"No! we're going to have an explanation today. Also, the goods of my three-headed Chamber of Commerce were seized by this sword cultivator, and he clearly relied on his cultivation to kill people and seize treasures. This is Linyuan City, according to my Great Qin Iron Law, anyone who wantonly kills people in the city should be punished. This is an iron law that has not been broken for hundreds of thousands of years. The princess is a member of the clan and should be an example for the clan. Since this domineering sword cultivator is a princess guest, then let the princess give us an explanation today!"

"Yes, we have to say the law! ”

Seeing this, Hai Tianqing also looked embarrassed and said to Qiu Fangrou: "Your Royal Highness Princess, look at this ....."

Qiu Fangrou smiled slightly, she took a small step forward, but Ji Xiaosheng was behind her. Lin Feng also looked at Qiu Fangrou, his hand was always on the hilt of the sword, Qiu Fangrou did not have half of her cultivation, at this time she seemed to be facing a stormy wave. Lin Feng knew that Qiu Fangrou was very smart, and Lin Feng also knew that Qiu Fangrou was doing all this to help him get back Ah Li, and Lin Feng knew that Qiu Fangrou was standing here so calmly, a kind of trust in him.

It's a trust that doesn't need words, maybe it's just a look, maybe it's just a shallow smile. Seeing Qiu Fangrou smiling at Lin Feng, Lin Feng knew that this was the signal for the start of the plan.

Qiu Fangrou first said to the many bitter masters in Linyuan City: "Everyone, it is true that I, the guest king, killed people in the air last night. But do you want to know why?"

The crowd shook their heads. Most of the people who came to make trouble today were bewitched by several major chambers of commerce, and even some people didn't have any dead people at home, they just came to see the excitement.

When they heard that there were twists and turns in the sword cultivation killing last night, they all pricked up their ears, but they heard of several versions, one was the merman royal family of the sword cultivator who snatched the three-headed chamber of commerce, the other was the sword cultivator who splashed blood in the sky for love, and the other was that this sword cultivator went crazy and wanted to kill people and become immortals, in short, the messy gossip made some people in Linyuan City talk about it. If you are tired of hearing gossip, it is better to listen to the official statement, and it is obvious that Her Royal Highness the Princess of Daqin represents this official.

Most people said they wanted to listen.

Qiu Fangrou grasped everyone's psychology very well, and she said lightly: "Last night, my Keqing killed someone because one of his beloved was robbed by someone, and the person who robbed that girl was among you. The night is dark and the moon is beautiful, and the sword cultivates a sword to kill a person, just for the love of his heart. And those who obstruct in heaven are clearly accomplices of the plunderers.

And by the way, the girl who was kidnapped, maybe the people who kidnapped her don't know her identity yet, right? Her name is Zhu Ruirui, maybe in another way everyone understands better, she is the daughter of Huolian. ”

"Fire Refinement?"

Which Fire Refining? Everyone chewed on this name carefully, and even the heads of several major chambers of commerce were thinking about it, because this name was too familiar, and suddenly someone exclaimed.

"Your Highness the princess is saying that the woman who was robbed is the daughter of the Fire King?"

Qiu Fangrou nodded.

At this time, Ji Xiaosheng immediately activated her ability, and she immediately wrote down the voice of the big villain of the city lord opposite according to Qiu Fangrou's request.

The original words were: "What exactly is this Pingyang going to do?" was completed for the first time, and Ji Xiaosheng silently wrote it down.

And when the word "Fire King" appeared in everyone's ears, some people finally reacted.

"What! It was the Fire King's daughter who was robbed?"

"Who is so bold, that's the Fire King! and the person who obstructs the sword cultivator is the accomplice of the plunderer. Dude, does anyone in your family go up to stop you?"

"What are you kidding, how can my family be an accomplice in robbing the daughter of the Fire King, don't say this again, don't say it again!"

A group of people who were still shouting and shouting to kill the people who wanted to explain the law for a while, but they shirked each other for a while, saying that they were just watching the excitement. What are you laughing at, those people will die when they die, but don't affect your own family. If you dare to rob the daughter of the Fire King, I'm afraid you'll have a magic barrier. Who is the Fire King? That's the man who once burned most of Linyuan City into charcoal.

Many monks who had lived through the events of that year remembered vividly, the man with the flames all over his body, who originally looked like an ordinary maritime porter, who knew that one day he would suddenly go crazy. turned into a hundred-zhang tall flame giant, but the fire on the giant's body was not ordinary fire, and even many masters of the demon kingdom in Linyuan City had come to kill the giant.

But in that battle, Linyuan City was burned in half of it, and the people from the demon country were either familiar with it, or they were so frightened that they never dared to set foot on land again.

As for why the fragrance wafted, it was mainly because most of the demon cultivators in the sea had been roasted by the fire giants, and the fragrance not only wafted to Lin Yuan City, but also to the land farther away.

Many people came to smell the incense, but they saw the ferocious appearance of the fire giant roasting the big demon and eating at the same time. It is rumored that the fire giant not only roasts the big demon, but also roasts people. So the fire giant became a demon in the eyes of the people of Linyuan City, and his horror was passed on by word of mouth, and later, it is said that Emperor Qin fought with the fire giant, so that people knew that the fire refining was the fire king.

Don't look at most of the merchants in Linyuan City, they have traveled all over the world, but there is a custom of merchant monks in Linyuan City, that is, they never go to the Southern Regions, and the reason is self-evident. They are afraid that there are such murderous characters in this world.

At this time, the princess of Daqin said that someone had robbed the daughter of the Fire King, and last night the sword cultivator was actually looking for the daughter of the Fire King, and the person who hindered the disaster was the accomplice of the robbers.

At this time, who the hell dares to say that there is a dead person in his family, and he wants to say the law? What kind of explanation do you want, I'm afraid that if you want it, if you want it, there will be a fire. This is the real fire, and the businessmen are very profitable, how can they implicate the living for the sake of the dead.

If you want to blame them, blame them for having no eyes, in this world, some people can bully, and some people can't provoke.

Obviously, Hai Tianqing didn't think of this stubble, mainly because he didn't know that Ah Li was the daughter of the Fire King when he asked Ah Qing to inform these merchants.

At this time, everyone's attitude was reversed in an instant, not only did they not investigate Lin Feng's murder, but they also helped to come up with ideas to find the Fire King's daughter as soon as possible.

"Fuck, what kind of thing is lacking in morality! Isn't this a problem for us in Linyuan City? No, this matter must be resolved immediately, and if we don't catch the person who dares to rob the daughter of the Fire King, we will all have to finish playing with him. Who are you bastards? Aren't sharks enough for you to play with on weekdays? Climb out on your own, or I'll let you know what cruelty is. ”

A Scattered Cultivator Realm resident in Lin Yuan City said that he finally had a place to stay, but now there were people who wanted to implicate everyone. But he was angry first, and he didn't even care about any superior demeanor, and scolded first as respect.

They are all rough men who make a living at sea, but they don't scold people with any seriousness, and in their minds, scolding people is light. And the presidents of those large chambers of commerce also looked at Hai Tianqing thoughtfully.

If it was an ordinary matter, they might be driven by interests to stand on the side of the Hai family, but this matter is completely beyond the scope of what they can accept, this is not a convergence of interests at all, this is a fatal matter.

Even a few presidents, you look at me, I look at you, they are all ready to ask this sea and sky. But when they thought that the Hai family had stood in Linyuan City for hundreds of thousands of years without falling, as the largest chambers of commerce in Linyuan City, they knew that the water of the Hai family was deeper than the world seemed to be.

Several presidents held back, after all, both sides could not be offended. They are already considering whether to relocate the Chamber of Commerce's base to the islands in the sea. Since you can't afford to offend, let's run away!

Hai Tianqing never thought of his plan to force and delay, but in the end he put himself in a stalemate.

He secretly thought in his heart: "In this way, what should I do? If it is discovered, should I awaken the essence of the Hai family." No, I definitely can't let them find it, otherwise, even if my Hai family background is strong, it will not be as strong as the huge Fire Country. What to do? What to do?"

The second time, Ji Xiaosheng used her mind-reading technique again, and she wrote it down word by word.
