The next moment, his expression returned to normal and he said softly: "You go out first, I want to take a nap."

The personal maid was a little strange, but she didn't say anything and left the room obediently.

When they walked away, Fuxiang took out a fox-head incense burner from under the bed, and a stick of dark incense. She cut off a lock of hair and wrapped it around the dark incense, then lit the incense and inserted it into the incense burner.

Fuxiang respectfully placed the incense burner on the table, knelt on her knees, and murmured to herself.

The dark incense burned out at an extremely fast speed, and the ashes fell lightly on the table. Confidence gathered together to form a short line of small words:

The trouble in the north is over, and you are allowed to return to your clan.

Looking at this line of words, Fuxiang's face was inexplicably excited, and she felt happy that her hard days were over. But there was a trace of nostalgia and reluctance hidden in her eyes.

Chuzhou City.

After three days of traveling, the mission, escorted by an army of 500 men sent by King Zhenbei, arrived at Chuzhou City.

Among the thirteen continents of Dafeng, the core state city is usually located in the center of the region, but Chuzhou is different. It is close to the border and faces the barbarians and monsters in the north.

People in the northern border often say that it is precisely because the King of Zhenbei is in charge of Chuzhou City that it has been able to stand firm for decades despite the invasion of northern barbarians.

In history, the city of Chuzhou was destroyed twice and there were two bloody massacres.

But in the generation of King Zhenbei, the weather was good near Chuzhou City, and the barbarian cavalry did not dare to disturb the hundred-mile radius of Chuzhou City, because the most elite troops in the north were stationed in this area.

The Prime Minister of Dali Temple opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the majestic and tall city walls. The walls in between were carved with complex and weird patterns, covering every corner of the city walls.

On the female wall, there are artillery, bed crossbows and other powerful weapons developed by Si Tianjian.

"The "Dafeng Geography Chronicles of Chuzhou" says that the city walls of Chuzhou City are covered with formations and are strong enough to withstand attacks by third-level masters. Seeing it is better than hearing it a hundred times," said the Prime Minister of Dali Temple with emotion.

The major cities on the border of Dafeng have all carved similar formations to strengthen their defenses. Every hundred years, Si Tianjian will summon all the warlocks to repair and supplement the formations.

"With King Zhenbei in charge, the city of Chuzhou will be impregnable." Liu Yushi agreed.

When the mission arrived at the gate of the city, they saw that more than a dozen officials had been waiting for them for a long time. The leader was a man wearing a scarlet robe, with a long beard that reached his chest, and a pale face. He exuded the elegance of a scholar and the vigor of a frontier official.

Zheng Xinghuai, the chief envoy of Jiangzhou.

"Master Zheng, it has been three years since we parted ways in the capital." Liu Yushi smiled and stepped forward, looking very familiar with Zheng Xinghuai.

Chief Commissioner Zheng nodded slightly, with a slight smile on his serious face. After some pleasantries, he led everyone to the largest post station in Chuzhou.

After settling down, Yang Yan and others sat in the hall with Zheng Buzheng to talk.

"Master Zheng, your majesty and the princes heard that the "Three Thousand Miles of Blood Massacre" occurred in Chuzhou. They were shocked and angry. They sent us to investigate the matter. We hope that Master Zheng can help you." Liu Yushi said with his hands in hand.

.

Zheng Xinghuai, who had already known about this matter, nodded slightly and asked: "How would you like me to assist you, sir?"

Yang Yan said bluntly: "I need the records of Chuzhou's border troops leaving the camp, as well as the official correspondence between the government offices in Chuzhou."

Ambassador Zheng did not answer. He looked around at the crowd and said casually: "I heard that the host Xu Yinluo returned to Beijing due to injury?"

Liu Yushi sighed: "I encountered an ambush on the way..."

Governor Zheng frowned and said in a business-like tone:

"Without the chief officer, I have the power to do things easily... Of course, I can show a few adults the official documents exchanged by the yamen in various places. However, I am afraid that only the chief officer has the records of the border troops' departure from camp."

I have the power to intervene. I will report it to King Huai, but there is no guarantee that King Huai will be accommodating."

Liu Yushi and others were not angry, and said with a smile: "Thank you Master Zheng, thank you Master Zheng."

After the conversation, Chief Commissioner Zheng said he was busy with official duties and left.

The Prime Minister of Dali Temple glanced at Liu Yushi and shook his head: "It's a pity that the two Yushi are still Yushi. If they were governors, tsk tsk..."

When the censor is in the capital, he is the censor. Once he is ordered to inspect a place, he is the governor.

The power of the governor is so great that it directly overwhelms the three highest leaders: the commander-in-chief, the administrative envoy, and the prosecutor-general.

However, it was precisely because of the great power of the governor that he appointed Xu Qian as the presiding officer. Emperor Yuan Jing's attitude was very clear and he could not allow the mission to check and balance the Huai king.

Yang Yan said calmly: "How does this Zheng Buzheng envoy become an official?"

Liu Yushi hurriedly said: "I have some friendship with him. He is an honest official and has an excellent reputation."

............

Sanhuang County.

Outside the city, in the pavilion beside the official road, the mediocre princess and the picturesque Xu Qian were sitting at the table, drinking low-quality tea.

This place is not far from the city gate. A pot of tea costs two cents, which is very cheap. In addition, the location is well chosen. Under a big banyan tree, the wind blows, which is cool and comfortable. There are people going into or out of the city along the way.

People rested here and drank tea.

Xu Qian held the tea cup and thought about his "interception" plan.

If you want to extract information from King Zhenbei's spies, you must not do it in the city. Not only will it affect innocent people, but they may also be killed.

The best way is to wait for the other party to leave the city.

Since we are looking for people, we will definitely not stay in a small county for too long. There are countless counties in the north, and it is impossible to have people stationed in every city and town.

Therefore, the spies must be mobile.

All he had to do was sit back and wait.

At this time, he noticed that some men next door were behaving a little abnormally.
