Chapter 250 There must be something fishy about this matter



Deng Yushan tried hard to suppress his heart, which was pounding as if it was about to jump out of his throat. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

With great reverence, he looked respectfully at Shen Yong in front of him.

In his eyes, Chen Yong was as magical and admirable as an immortal who had descended to earth.

Shen Yong smiled and walked slowly to the mobile toilet known as the "mini toilet". He reached out and pushed the door gently, and the door slowly opened.

"Come and take a look. This is what I call a miniature bathroom."

Shen Yong turned sideways and waved to Deng Yushan.

Deng Yushan hurriedly walked forward and curiously stuck his head towards the door to look inside.

The moment he saw the situation inside, he was so shocked that his eyes widened, his pupils trembled violently, and he couldn't help but exclaimed.

"This...this mirror is so clear!"

Deng Yushan immediately saw the mirror above the sink, and could clearly see himself standing behind Shen Yong in the mirror.

"Let's go in and take a look." Chen Yong pulled Deng Yushan over and pulled him into the bathroom.

Deng Yushan entered the bathroom, just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and he let out one exclamation of shock after another.

After Deng Yushan finished his visit, he looked at the drawings in his hand again and had a clearer idea in his mind.

"I will go find someone from the Ministry of Industry and study this together."

Shen Yong smiled and waved his hand, "Go ahead."

Looking at Deng Yushan running away, Chen Yong tiptoed and flew directly onto the roof.

The city wall of the palace has been built, and the city wall of Qianhuang City will be completed in a few days.

Because of sufficient materials, the original 3-meter-high city wall has been extended to a height of 4.5 meters.

He turned his head to look in the direction of Bailong City, his eyes dimming slightly.

There were constant small movements in Bailong City, so it looked like he had to go and investigate....

.......

White Dragon City....

Liu Mansion Study...

"There's been no news from those two yamen runners?"

Prefect Liu sat at the desk, frowning and looking at Judge Zhao.

It has been so many days, and even though the walls of Qianhuang City have been built, he still knows nothing about the situation in Qianhuang City.

Two groups of people went, but neither returned.

Even if Magistrate Deng detained his people, he should have sent someone to talk to him.

After all, the two cities have been maintaining friendly relations for so many years, so they have to do some superficial work.

Zhao Tongpan's brows were so furrowed that they could pinch a mosquito to death.

He sighed deeply, raised his hand to smooth his beard twice, and shook his head slowly.

"The person who contacted them said that they saw the two people enter the village on the outskirts of Qianhuang City. After entering, they didn't see them come out."

"The people who were supposed to pick him up waited for two days but didn't see anyone coming out. They thought something was wrong and rushed back."

Zhao Tongpan looked at Prefect Liu and said solemnly,

"It seems that the situation in Qianhuang City may have changed. From their grand expansion of the city wall, they have already started to think about rebellion."

"......" Magistrate Liu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

If Qianhuang City rebels, then Bailong City will be the first to suffer.

When the Fire Phoenix Nation attacked in the past, with the Fire Extinguishing City (Qianhuang City) to hold on, Bailong City had plenty of time to prepare to fight the enemy or evacuate.

The most important thing is that Qianhuangcheng has never failed, so he has always been at ease.

At most, when Qianhuang City and Huofeng Country were fighting and there was a shortage of food and grass, he would provide some food and grass.

After all, the lips and teeth are interdependent, and he is the one who least wants Qianhuang City to fall.

Although he would ask Governor Deng to return the food and fodder after the war, he also gave him enough time.

The two cities have always maintained relatively friendly relations.

Qianhuang City is now in rebellion, and the first target it will attack is Bailong City.

"Tell me—who proclaimed himself the Thousand Brilliance King in Fire Extinguishing City and took over the city in rebellion?"

Several people flashed through Magistrate Liu's mind, and he looked at Zhao Tongpan with a deep gaze.

Judge Zhao was slightly stunned and frowned as he began to think.

After a moment, he pursed his lips.

"Based on strength, it's most likely General Zhong Erfei of Zhenbei."

"However, with Zhong Erfei's intelligence, Governor Deng will not obey him."

"Moreover, none of the six generals under Zhong Erfei are convinced by him, so it doesn't seem like Zhong Erfei."

After careful analysis, Zhao Tongpan overturned his own guess.

As for the claim that Governor Deng proclaimed himself king, he didn't even consider it.

Magistrate Deng had no soldiers and did not have the courage to do so, and Zhong Erfei had always been at odds with Magistrate Deng.

As Prefect Liu listened to Judge Zhao's analysis, his head began to throb.

No one looks like him.

The reason why Emperor Tianwu asked Zhong Erfei to replace the Shen family to garrison the Fire-Mie City was because Zhong Erfei and Prefect Deng were at odds.

Emperor Tianwu was relieved only when the two of them were no longer in harmony.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in the mind of Prefect Liu, and he looked at Zhao Tongpan with bright eyes.

"Tell me, is it possible that they're just pretending to be at odds with each other, but are actually secretly working together and reaching some kind of agreement?"

Zhao Tongpan was stunned and looked at Prefect Liu in shock.

"It's not impossible."

"If this is true, it only shows that these two people's acting skills are really good."

"I've been to Fire City so many times, and I haven't found anything fishy. You're amazing."

Judge Zhao carefully recalled the exchange between Prefect Deng and General Zhong.

I didn’t think there was any problem between them before, but now I think about it, how two people who hate each other can live in peace in the Fire Extinguishing City, isn’t this the biggest problem?

I guess the two of them were deliberately putting on a show in front of him before.

In fact, they had been secretly together for a long time.

"That's right." Prefect Liu nodded slightly to show his agreement, and then said,

"Why else didn't they choose to enclose the land and rebel earlier, or later, but chose this drought-induced natural disaster to expand the city walls and openly enclose the land in rebellion?"

"In my opinion, the reason is that they have secretly stored a considerable amount of water and food.

When natural disasters struck and people were destitute, they would give these life-saving supplies to the people, easily winning their hearts and minds.”

Hearing this, Zhao Tongpan couldn't help but gasp and exclaimed, "Oh~~"

After a brief pause, he said firmly: "No!"

When the topic turned to food and water, he suddenly realized that there was something strange.

At this moment, Prefect Liu was bewildered, staring at Zhao Tongpan with wide eyes, and asked anxiously,

"What's wrong? Tell me now!"
