Xia Jin was really interested. Seeing the two of them drinking tea and talking about things in the city lord's mansion, it was really boring to wait like this.
Mu Gu sent someone to lead the way. Not long after, Xia Jin and the others arrived at the back mountain and saw that there was indeed an open-air mine vein here.
Xia Xia picked up a piece of coal mine and after confirming it, he said: "This is an open-pit coal mine. It has no value to me."
When he was about to leave, suddenly, Xiao Wanzi in the supernatural space shouted: "Go forward! I feel a temperature that is the same as ours!"
Xia Jin looked forward, and there was a naturally formed spring. It was about the size of a bathtub. It was pitch black, and she couldn't see the bottom. It was obviously very deep.
Since Xiaowanzi said there is something in it, then there must be something!
"You guys wait for me here, I'll go down and take a look!" Xia Jin said to the four seasons and others who came with them.
After saying that, he jumped into the bottomless spring water and dived down until he reached the bottom about twenty meters away. There was a ball of flame under the bottom.
Xia Jin swam over there, and the moment she reached out and touched the flame, the flame disappeared.
As soon as he sensed it, he noticed that there was a ball of fire in his supernatural space.
Xia Jin hurried upstream and climbed out of the water.
"master!"
Li Qiang took off his clothes and put them on Xia Jin's shoulders.
Xia Jin used the Samadhi True Fire, and a mist of water emitted from around her body, and her clothes were dried in the next moment.
"Let's go, there's no need to look here!"
Xia Jin walked towards the city. When she reached the city gate, Xia Jin stopped and turned to look in the direction of the corner.
"who!"
Beside the corner, a dark figure flashed away. Xia Jin chased after him and grabbed the arm of the man in black.
The man in black ducked sideways and jumped onto the roof with ease.
Xia Jin chased after him, blocked in front of him, and said:
"You have been following me since I entered the city. Who are you?"
From the time he left the city until now, this person had been following Xia Jin and he had already noticed it. At first, he thought he was sent by Prime Minister Qu.
But he didn't seem to be interested in anything else, and kept following her.
If you look closely, you will see that this man is dressed in black, with his body and face covered tightly. He even wears a dark horn mask on his face, leaving only two small holes, and even his eyes.
can not see!
When the man in black saw that Xia Jin was blocking his path, he slowly backed away. Without saying a word, he turned around and left quickly!
"Master, I'll go after him!" Li Qiang used Qinggong to chase after him.
Xia Jin looked at the dark figure and felt that this figure seemed familiar...
"Madam, the general has reached an agreement, please come over!" Qijian shouted.
Xia Jin looked away, jumped off the roof, and walked towards the city lord's mansion.
At the same time, Li Qiang caught up with Heiying, and the two stopped in front of a hillside.
"Who are you!" Li Qiang asked.
"Don't mind your own business!" The man in black lowered his voice.
"Master's business is my business! If you don't tell me, I will ask you to speak in person!" Li Qiang roared, showing the sharp tip of his Ice Soul Claw in his hand, grabbing it in the air, and an invisible cold light directed at the black man.
The man attacked.
The man in black dodged to avoid it, only to find that his feet were frozen by ice. The invisible cold light was approaching, and there was only a clang sound, and the mask on his face fell to the ground.
After seeing his face clearly, Li Qiang froze on the spot.
"It's you?"
Mu Baihao split the ice under his feet with a sword and flew away!
Li Qiang stood on the spot and did not pursue him again.
"Why, is it him?"
He murmured, with a look of disbelief on his face. Mu Baihao was the first chef of the Food God Hall. When Li Qiang was working as a pastry chef in the Food God Hall, Mu Baihao taught him many things.
In Li Qiang's heart, he had long been regarded as a friend.
He didn't think Mu Baihao would hurt his master, but why did he follow him here!
Worried about the master?
Li Qiang couldn't figure it out, so he decided to tell his master about it and wait for him to make a decision!
…
On the other side, Xia Jin entered the city lord's mansion and saw Lin Ziyi and Ning Zhaoping sitting in the hall.
Xia Jin walked in and said, "Why did the general call me here?"
Lin Ziyi looked at Xia Jin and said, "Jin'er, please sit down!"
Xia Jin sat next to Lin Ziyi. Lin Ziyi looked at Ning Zhaoping and said, "She is my wife, Xia Jin!"
"I've seen it before!" Ning Zhaoping smiled.
Xia Jin nodded slightly as a greeting, "I didn't expect you to be the Lord of Ning City!"
Seeing that Xia Jin was still a little confused, Ning Zhaoping laughed and explained: "The outside world has smeared me so hard that they think I am a person who has done all kinds of bad things. In fact, they are all people with ulterior motives who deliberately smeared me in order to escape blame!
"
Xia Jin recalled the past that Mu Gu told him and learned that Ning Zhaoping was the deputy general of General Lin. He was framed and was trapped in Lincheng.
"I have already heard from Mu Gu about your matter." Xia Jin said truthfully.
"We plan to expose Prime Minister Qu's various crimes with the emperor after we return to the city, and we need Jin'er's help!" Lin Ziyi said seriously.
"What do you need me to do?" Xia Jin said.
Ning Zhaoping looked at Xia Jin and said: "The reason why I was sent to Lincheng by Prime Minister Qu and was blocked here was because I discovered that he had contacts with people from the Chixi Kingdom and heard their conversations.
After the fall of the Chixi Kingdom, the Chixi Countryman who had colluded with him was secretly dealt with by him, but I kept an eye out and sent my confidants to rescue him and hide him in the slums in the corner of the capital. However, he had something in his heart.
I am unwilling to tell the truth, so I would like to ask you to go there as the beloved princess of Chixi Kingdom and ask her to agree to go to the palace to testify against Prime Minister Qu!"
Xia Jin nodded, "Okay! I'll give it a try!"
"Thank you!" Ning Zhaoping stood up and bowed.
Xia Jin helped him up and said, "I am also helping myself!"
On the second day, Lin Ziyi left Lincheng with his troops and horses. In order to complete the show, Ning Zhaoping and his son Ning Zhi left in a prison car locked in a prison car.
Along the way, the unknowing Ning Zhi cried loudly, thinking that he was going to be beheaded.
Ning Zhao often sighs. Now he just hopes that his injustice will be avenged and he can return to the fields with his son.
Doesn't he understand his son? He has no talent and refuses to work hard, has a soft ear, and is greedy.
If you enter the court, you will burn yourself sooner or later. It is better to disarm and return to the field, where you can live a stable life at least!
This attack on the city was part of Lin Ziyi's plan to destroy Ning Zhi's arrogance and stop him from thinking about becoming the city lord.
Along the way, Lin Ziyi was worried. Although he looked cold on the surface, there was always a hint of sadness in his expression.
Xia Jin was sitting in the carriage, opening the gauze curtain and lying at the window looking at Lin Ziyi's face on the side of the horse.
[After I return this time, I can clear my wrongdoing for the deputy general. No matter how much suffering I suffer, it will be worth it! He can rest in peace in heaven when Prime Minister Qu is punished. Otherwise, how can I feel at ease...]
Xia Jin sighed softly. It turned out that the hurdle in Lin Ziyi's heart had not passed yet.
I really can't tell that Lin Ziyi, who looks so cold on the surface, values friendship so much.
