Chapter 70: Birds fly over the sky above Yangjiawu Fort. (Please read it tomorrow)
While still half asleep, Yi Chen heard the familiar words again.
He opened the door unhappily.
Captain Lin had a serious look on his face, wearing a sword and armor, and was followed by two guards standing outside the door.
Taking advantage of his morning grumpiness, Yi Chen couldn't help but tease:
"What's the matter, Fellow Daoist Lin? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Did your father find you a stepmother?"
Yi Chen didn't even ask how Captain Lin found his residence. It would be strange if the Zhen'an Division couldn't find the inn where he was staying in Ping'an County.
Captain Lin: “….”
"Master, please stop joking. This time I came here to ask you to help me go to Yangjiawu Fort with me."
Captain Lin walked into the room with a bitter face, put a package on the table, picked up the teapot in the room without hesitation, and drank it directly.
After drinking the tea, Captain Lin told the whole story in detail.
It turned out to be the superior city of Pyeongan County, where the third daughter of the prefect of Myeonggu Prefecture disappeared.
The location is exactly inside Yangjiawu Fort.
The third daughter of the prefect of Mingguang Prefecture loved traveling and this time when she was near Yangjiawu Fort, she stayed there for one night.
As luck would have it, he disappeared last night, along with some villagers.
So early this morning, the remaining followers of the prefect's daughter came to the Ping'an County Zhen'an Division in a hurry to ask for help.
"Master, the current prefect of Mingguang Prefecture is named Cui."
"According to the followers who came out to report the case, they went to bed early last night, but some villagers saw a small blood-red meteor falling from the sky and hitting the fort."
"But there was no trace on the ground, not even a dent."
"Then early this morning, they discovered that their young lady was missing, along with some of the villagers."
Captain Lin said quietly.
"Is it the Cui family, one of the nine surnames in the world?" Yi Chen was stunned when he heard this and turned around to ask.
"That's right, otherwise which Cui family would have such a big face."
After Captain Lin said this, Yi Chen understood instantly.
He was originally wondering why the Zhen'an Division was so concerned about a missing case, and it turned out that a Tianlong person was missing.
There is also a provision in Dai Viet law that if a prince breaks the law, he shall be punished the same as a commoner. However, it is just a cosmetic thing, so just listen to it.
On the surface, it seems that everyone is equal, which sounds nice, but in fact, this concept is only valid if you are considered a talented person.
Sometimes you think you are a human being, but in fact, in the eyes of some people you are just some kind of chordate, mammal, or primate.
In the past, the Eagle Sauce, which was known as the beacon of mankind, wrote "we the people" into the fundamental law, and everyone was excited. Later, everyone realized that the so-called "we the people" actually translated into "we are the people"...
In a world where great power belongs to itself, it is even more impossible for everyone to be equal.
"This is really... none of my business."
Yi Chen's first reaction was to refuse. He frowned and said, "Where is your father? This matter has no chance of falling on your shoulders."
"My father secretly went to the capital several days ago to escort the left arm of the God of Immortality. The Taoist priest also knew about the vision last night. I was really unsure, and my father's deputy pushed the task onto me. I had no choice but to come to the Taoist priest for help."
Lin Zhengyi said with a bitter face, and as he spoke, he opened the package on the table.
There were ten small yellow croakers inside, each weighing ten taels.
Next to the small yellow croaker, there is a fist-sized piece of fiery red real sun gold.
This time, Yi Chen couldn’t move his eyes away.
One hundred taels of gold is fine, at most it is only about one thousand two hundred taels, but the value of real sun gold is quite high.
This thing is the best refining material for making pure yang divine weapons. It is a special mineral that can only be produced in some extremely yang places over tens of millions of years. No one knows how Lin Zhengyi got it.
The Zhen'an Division is indeed a big dog-owning company.
If this thing could be melted into his Dragon-Slaying Sword, it would definitely make its power even greater.
After much deliberation, Yi Chen decided to agree to accompany Captain Lin.
The generous gift from Captain Lin was one reason, but the main reason was that he was afraid that something might happen to him and he would die in Yangjiawu Fort.
If that happened, not only would all his efforts to establish a relationship with Lin Zhenbei be wasted, but Lin Zhenbei might even hold a grudge against him.
After all, a father who lost his only son will only remember that his son once came to him with a generous gift and asked him for help, but he was ruthlessly rejected.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In addition, another reason is that Yi Chen is also quite interested in the bloody meteor. What exactly is this thing and what kind of impact will it have on this world.
If we can conduct an on-site investigation, we won't be completely in the dark when we encounter similar things in the future.
It is also very important to have first-hand information.
Besides, other masters from the Zhen'an Division will certainly go on this trip. If he himself is involved in a similar incident in the future, where can he find so many high-quality supplies to fill the trenches... He can't use himself to experiment with landmines, so it's better to have more people.
A certain ruthless and ruthless Taoist priest was making calculations with great speed.
The strange things that happened in Yangjiawubao were nothing more than the disappearance of some ordinary people. However, there were still ordinary people who came out to report the case. I think even if it was a little strange, its strength should not be too limited.
At least that's the case now.
Now that he has greatly improved his strength after breaking through the realm, Captain Lin is not a weak opponent either. If the two of them, together with other men from the Zhen'an Division, work together, it won't be difficult for them to fight their way out if there is an accident.
At worst, who among this group of people do you think can run faster than him?
Thinking of this, Yi Chen stopped being shy and agreed immediately.
This surprised Captain Lin, who thought he would have to waste some more time talking, and then a look of emotion appeared on his face.
He was already prepared for Yi Chen to refuse or raise the price.
He knew this Taoist Master Yi Chengzi too well. He only cared about material gains. According to intelligence, the Yinlong Temple was recently expanding and was short of money. He even had five small yellow croakers in his arms waiting for Yi Chen to raise the price, but in the end he didn't use them... "Although the Taoist Master has many tricks, he is really willing to help when there is something to do. I was judging him by my own standards."
Captain Lin felt a little ashamed.
He, who had always been a scumbag, immediately patted his chest and promised that if Yi Chen couldn't find a suitable person to smelt the real sun gold after the success, his father had a good friend who was a master of refining and could help melt the real sun gold into the Dragon Slaying Sword.
After the two parties finalized the cooperation, they acted without delay. Led by Yi Chen and Captain Lin, the two sat in a tall carriage, followed by dozens of men from the Zhen'an Division. They left the city in a mighty procession and galloped towards the direction of Yangjiawu Fort.
In addition to Yi Chen and Lin Baihu, there was also a young maid with high cheekbones and thin lips sitting in the carriage. Her facial features were not bad, but her temperament seemed a little mean.
This person was the attendant of the third young lady who disappeared for no reason. His name was Yueya, and they went together.
Everyone spared no effort and arrived not far from Yangjiawu Fort in more than an hour.
With a leap, Yi Chen jumped off the carriage, looked up at the bird flying above his head, and his eyes suddenly became as sharp as needles.
There were no birds flying over Yangjiawu Fort.
A group of wild geese flew over Yangjiawu Fort with strange cries and passed by in different directions.
