Ming Qin said with a smile: "If the Golden Crow Sect doesn't take action, won't it seem that your family's Dragon Po has no evidence, how can you still win the trust of the Rakshasa Governor." I think you should hope that the Golden Crow Sect will not break the appointment. ”

Mo Yin's face darkened, and he said stupidly: "I have a good intention, you don't appreciate it." Why be cynical about us. ”

After speaking, he ignored Ming Qin and walked away.

Mingqin also thought that Mo Yin was an eyesore in front of her, and it would be nice if she could take the initiative to walk away.

At this time, Jiang Fang also led Luo Qi and Wu Sichen to replace the two disciples of the Golden Crow Sect.

Luo Yongyan walked towards Ming Qin, picked up a glass cup from the table, and said in a low voice: "Meiyuan has strengthened the guards, but the original plan cannot be changed. Tonight, we must control the sleeping crane and occupy the governor's palace. ”

Luo Yongyan also knew that the news was revealed, there were only two ways at the moment, either to die down, or to take a risk, the Golden Crow Sect was suppressed by the Rakshasa Emperor, and many years of business were about to be ruined, so he was naturally unwilling. Missing this opportunity, it is difficult to have such good conditions, not to mention the labor.

Ming Qin nodded slightly, this kind of thing is not foolproof, the arrow is on the bow, and it has to be sent. Success or failure is blunt, and it is difficult to reverse the forecast.

The curtain fell on the stage, and a pair of well-dressed men and women walked to the front of the curtain and spoke impassionedly.

The guests knew that the runoff was about to begin, and the noise gradually subsided.

After a while, the curtain slowly opened, and the spectators exclaimed in surprise, and the applause was thunderous.

I saw that the stage was full of young and beautiful girls, all of them were covered with tulle and wearing colorful dresses, which made people dazzled.

Everyone has eyes, ears, nose, and nose, but their faces are different, and this is the unique ingenuity of the Creator. Legend has it that Nuwa made people, some of them were made by hand, and some of them were made indiscriminately. Qin Shi Huang built the Terracotta Warriors, because the craftsmen lacked brainpower, and found soldiers to imitate their faces.

Therefore, the face is not only the mark of a person, but also the difference between beauty and ugliness. Although extremely beautiful people can be famous through the ages, their appearance is also a major feature, and they will be recorded in the history books.

There are not many who are extremely beautiful, and there are few who are absolutely ugly. Most of the beauties through the ages are not only won by color, but also have their own special opportunities. In the same way, it is more difficult for an ugly person to become famous in history than a beautiful person, so there must be something extraordinary.

Although the final selection of the Holy Maiden is not limited to the color of her appearance, her appearance is the most important thing. In this final, Mei Fangxin is ingenious, so that the candidates are all covered with tulle, which is to guide the guests to pay attention to other aspects of the candidates.

'Everyone has a love for beauty'. Mencius said, 'Those who do not know the beauty of the capital are also those who have no eyes'. The appearance is beautiful, and it is naturally easier to be appreciated by ordinary people. Pan An travels and has to throw fruit in the car. Zuo Si looks ugly, and the treatment is far from good. Wei Jue entered the capital, and everyone competed to see his demeanor, but he actually died of illness, and he was also burdened by his beauty.

There is an attic in the Lake Center Pavilion, and the stage is set up opposite the attic. The attic is brightly lit, and it is Mei Fangxin's residence. Only those with special status have the opportunity to be invited into the attic to watch the runoff.

There is also a banquet upstairs, and sitting on the main seat is the governor Mianhe, who looks forty or fifty years old, with a clear appearance, a slightly fat body, a light robe, and a scarf on his head, quite a bit of a celebrity.

Sitting next to the sleeping crane is Mei Fangxin, the lord of the plum garden. She is as famous as Gu Pan, she was the Oiran of Rakshasa Sea City twenty years ago, and she is naturally not very young.

Mei Fangxin is wearing a plain plum blossom skirt, with high black hair and thin grease powder, looking dignified and delicate, and graceful.

The seats are all celebrities and rich gentry in Rakshasa Hai City, all of whom are worth a lot of money, and they are also the praisers of this holy women's election.

Although the election of the Holy Virgin was organized by the Governor's Palace, the silver taels needed were still raised by these wealthy merchants. Fortunately, the sleeping crane is happy and elegant, and has a good relationship with celebrities and rich gentry, and everyone is generous when they hear about this event, and they are happy to see it happen. Of course, Mianhe invited them into the governor's palace, and they couldn't get out if they didn't agree. Although Mianhe is not as fierce as the goshawk, after all, he is the governor of Rakshasa and has a heavy army, which is not something that a few rich merchants can compete with.

The show outside has begun, everyone is used to seeing the world, Mianhe is still sitting in his position for a long time, and everyone is not good to leave the table.

In fact, during the pre-selection, Mianhe and Mei Fangxin watched the candidates all over and knew it for a long time.

Mei Fangxin pushed Mian He and said with a smile: "The final election has begun, won't the Governor go out and have a look?"

Mian He frowned slightly, as if his interest was not very high, and when he saw everyone's eyes, he coughed lightly: "Yesterday, I occasionally felt a cold wind, and my spirit was a little tired. You don't have to worry about me, just go out and watch the runoff. ”

When everyone heard that Mianhe was sick, they all expressed their concern, "The Governor is sick, have you ever called a doctor to see it?"

"Since adults are unwell, it is better to rest early. ”

"I know a wandering man who has good medical skills, and if you need it, I will invite him to come immediately. ”

"The body of the adult's daughter, how can you let You Fang Langzhong heal at will, I am familiar with the famous doctors in the city, and I will invite them to come and treat the adult. ”

These celebrities and rich gentry are all human spirits, and when they heard that Mianhe was sick, they had the opportunity to be courteous.

Mianhe waved his hand again and again, and said with a dark face: "Okay, you all go out." ”

As soon as Mianhe spoke, the Rakshasa soldiers outside the door immediately rushed in, staring at each other, and everyone was so frightened that they were silent, and suddenly felt that it was boring, and they came out one by one.

"Go down too. ”

With a wave of his hand, the Rakshasa stepped out and closed the door.

Mei Fangxin sighed faintly, "This Holy Maiden election is huge, the conditions are very lenient, and nine out of ten girls of the same age in Haishi City have participated in the preliminary election. Why is there no whereabouts of Little Joe? ”

Mianhe grabbed Mei Fangxin's jade hand and patted it, comforting: "Don't worry. Rakshasa Sea City has a population of millions, and we originally wanted to try our luck. If it doesn't work, just take your time. ”

It turned out that Mei Fangxin had a daughter with Mianhe and handed it over to Mianhe to raise. Mianhe went to Beijing to seek work and handed over his daughter to a friend to take care of. His friend, both old and young, was accidentally lost. Calculating the age, Xiao Qiao is almost twenty years old. Although the two have not given up looking for it over the years, they have never heard from them. Mei Fangxin traveled around, and one of the main reasons was to find her long-lost daughter.

This time, Mianhe launched the election of the Holy Maiden, just to attract Xiao Qiao to show up. Candidates need to have their bodies checked, and Mei Fangxin has left a mark on Xiao Qiao's body, and as long as Xiao Qiao comes to participate in the competition, it will inevitably be recorded.

This is the way to wait for the rabbit, and there is really no other good way. At that time, Xiao Qiao was too young to be recognizable in appearance, and although Mianhe was the Rakshasa governor, it was impossible to examine the young girl's body one by one.

"In case Xiao Qiao is no longer in Rakshasa Sea City......"

Mei Fangxin sighed, all kinds of signs indicate that Xiao Qiao was abducted, if he was sold elsewhere, it would be a needle in a haystack, I am afraid that there will be no chance to see each other again in this life and this life.

There was a sudden knock on the door, and the two looked at each other and were silent.

"Who's out there? Come in. ”

Mei Fangxin knew that the identity of those who dared to knock on the door at this time must be different.

The door creaked open, and two young men in brocade walked in, but it was Ma Rulong and Chi Fengchun, who were talking to Luo and Wu.

"I've seen the Governor, I've seen the Master of the Plum Garden. ”

The two of them stepped forward quickly and saluted.

"It's you. Have a seat. ”

Mianhe has a good relationship with the parents of the two, and he came to Rakshasa Sea City to be the governor, so he naturally needs someone to help him. Ma and Chi have filled this gap very well.

"Thank you. ”

The Ma and Chi families are world friends, and Ma Rulong and Chi Fengchun's father and Mianhe have a friendship with the sleeping crane. However, Mianhe's family background is poor, and he is not as rich as the Ma and Chi families. Because of this relationship, Mianhe returned to Rakshasa Sea City as the governor, and got quite close to the Ma and Chi families.

"There are no outsiders here, no need to be polite. How's it going?"

Mianhe and Mei Fangxin once had a daughter, which was a matter of privacy between the two, so naturally they couldn't look for it with great fanfare, and everyone knew about it.

Ma and Chi are wealthy businessmen and tycoons in Rakshasa Sea City, and they are quite powerful. Ma Rulong's father Ma Huang and Chi Fengchun's father Chi Yun have not only been classmates with Mianhe for many years, but also have a good relationship with Mei Fangxin.

Mei Fangxin is the flower charm of Rakshasa Haishi, and the dignitaries and dignitaries she has met are like carp crossing the river, which is difficult to count.

Ma Rulong hurriedly said: "Feng Chun and I personally went to Jiangcheng and asked Uncle Lu Feng, after Xiao Qiao disappeared, he also tried to find it, according to the neighbors, Xiao Qiao had contact with a passing monk, and it is very likely that this monk took Xiao Qiao away." ”

Lu Feng is a friend of Mianhe entrusted to take care of Xiao Qiao, he lost Xiao Qiao, afraid of Mianhe's reprimand, heard that Mianhe is noble, and moved his family to Jiangcheng.

Ma and Chi were sent, and they rushed to Jiangcheng non-stop, and after a lot of effort, they finally found Lu Feng and carefully inquired about the end of the matter.

"This Lu Feng, he is hiding quite far away. ”

Lu Feng has been avoiding him all these years, and Mianhe is angry and angry with him, but he is busy with official business, and it is impossible for him to find him in person. Mei Fangxin asked someone to inquire about Lu Feng, and what Lu Feng said was basically the same as what Ma Rulong said.

Ma Rulong said: "My father is the ancestor of his classmates, and he wants to take Uncle Lu back to live in Haishi, and redeem his ancestral property. ”

When Lu Feng left Rakshasa Sea City, he sold his ancestral property and made up his mind that he would never return. Ma Huang is so enthusiastic about helping, naturally he is looking at Mianhe's face, and he has to ask Lu Feng again and again about the matter back then, so it is best to take him to Rakshasa Sea City and say to Mianhe and Mei Fangxin in person.

"What did Lu Feng say?"

Mianhe and Lu Feng were friends, and they didn't want to embarrass him too much, but Lu Feng's attitude was really disappointing.

Uncle Lu said that he had lived in Jiangcheng for many years, and he was afraid that he would not be used to it when he came back, so he said that he should consider it. But don't worry, uncle, I've already arranged for someone to keep an eye on him. ”

Ma Rulong didn't get clear instructions, and he didn't know what Mianhe's attitude was, otherwise he would have tied Lu Feng back. He was also afraid that this was Lu Feng's strategy to delay the army, so he sent people to keep an eye on it, so as not to prevent Lu Feng from making the golden cicada out of its shell and other cunning tricks.

Mianhe sighed abruptly, "Old friends are dying away, so they should see each other." ”

Chi Fengchun was overjoyed, and said with a bang: "With my uncle's words, I will tie up Lu Feng even if I tie it up." ”

Mianhe frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "The gift of the deceased is still needed." Although Lu Feng has failed me, after all, he is your father, and you must not hurt him and his family. ”

"Yes, yes. The nephew understood. ”

Chi Fengchun hurriedly bowed his head and apologized, he heard Chi Yun say that Mianhe regarded himself as a pure Confucian, and paid the most attention to etiquette. Even if Lu Feng is not good, it is not something they can insult.

"What monk did you just say, which sect is the monk?"

Mianhe asked Xiao Qiao about his disappearance again. There are many sects in the Heavenly Realm, including the Western Sect, the Shura Sect, and the Yaksha Sect, all of which have a deep history, and their disciples are all over the heavens. The schools are even higher, and even among the three religions, there are many schools that accuse each other and are not inferior to each other.

Most of the sects are monks, but their attire is very different, as you can see.

Ma Rulong said: "According to the neighbors, it seems to be a monk taught in the West. ”

Mei Fangxin interjected: "If it is really a monk from the Western Sect, maybe it is not abduction, maybe the monk saw that Xiao Qiao's bones were suitable for cultivation and accepted her as a disciple?"

As a mother, Mei Fangxin naturally thinks about the good side of everything, she has traveled around all these years, and she is quite concerned about human trafficking, but she has not considered the aspect of monastic practice.

"It's not impossible. ”

Mianhe nodded slightly, he didn't want Mei Fangxin to worry too much, so he naturally followed her words.

"If Xiao Qiao really went into the mountain to practice, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come to participate in the Holy Maiden election, and I'm afraid our efforts will be in vain. ”

Mianhe is quite conflicted, not only looking forward to Xiao Qiao's appearance in the general election, but also hoping that she will really go into the mountains to practice with the world's masters, without asking about Hongchen.

"Not necessarily. ”

Mei Fangxin retorted: "Rakshasa Sea City is the holy city of the three sects, and the name of the saint is extremely sacred. If our little Joe really entered the Western Church, it was not impossible for him to come to the election. ”

"Yes. Then let's wait and see. ”

Mianhe is also unwilling to give up hope, but unfortunately it is difficult to find Xiao Qiao as the years go by.

Ma Rulong hesitated: "The bodies of the contestants who entered the final round have been checked, and there seems to be nothing unusual. It seems that Xiao Qiao's sister is not in the list of finalists. ”

This is also the reason why Mianhe and Mei Fangxin have no intention of watching the runoff, they originally wanted to take this opportunity to check whether the candidates have the plum blossom marks left by Mei Fangxin. Mianhe specially told that if there is a special mark on the candidate's body, it must be recorded truthfully. He looked through the list of those who had entered the runoff, although there were a few people who were similar to plum blossom marks, and the servants who checked their bodies had Mei Fangxin, and they had checked them one by one according to Mei Fangxin's explanation, and the position and shape were incorrect.

Chi Fengchun suddenly slapped his head, "Is it possible to remove the plum blossom mark on Xiao Qiao's sister, if the mark is removed, wouldn't it be a clue." ”

Mei Fangxin's face changed drastically, there were many cultivators of thaumaturgy, and although her plum blossom mark was very reliable, it was difficult to guarantee that it would not be removed by someone with a heart.
