My system is 3000 years ahead of schedule

Chapter 83 I discovered a blind spot (please subscribe)

The old man's expression was frozen for a long time, and it wasn't until Cheng Guang got a little impatient and asked again that he came back to his senses.

"Shi...Sir..."

The old man swallowed with a stiff expression, feeling inexplicably frightened by the offense he had just committed.

Cheng Guang didn't think too much about it. He waved his hand and asked again.

"Old man, where can a Black Lantern Deacon like me go to get help?"

The old man stood up quickly and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, just call me old man."

"For example, when our detectives in the Light Division go out to handle cases or perform tasks, if they need manpower, most of them are mobilized from within the department. A white light detective can command ten black light detectives, and a black light detective is the lowest level. , so logically, only some non-staff members can be assigned.”

"It's just that, Your Majesty, you can command even the Golden Lantern Detective..."

The old man said in a sensible voice: "Your Majesty, there are only three Golden Lantern Deacons in the department now. I will call them all over..."

Cheng Guang quickly shook his head, rejected the old man's kindness, and said, "Just bring me a few non-staff members."

For Cheng Guang, he actually does not need very strong subordinates. If he needs subordinates with advanced skills, there is no need to look for them from the Lamp Holder Department. There are countless strong men among the guards around him.

Right now, he just needs some people who can help him investigate and handle cases. It doesn't matter whether they are strong or not, whether they have high status or not. What matters is that they can be obedient and sensible.

It allowed him to go through the motions perfectly and find a perfect reason to tell Cheng Zhihai the intelligence information he knew.

When the old man saw what Cheng Guang said, he no longer insisted. He took out a few sheets of paper filled with information from the drawer under the table and handed them to Cheng Guang.

Cheng Guang took it and took a look and found that it was the information of non-staff personnel, including portraits, names, cultivation realms, etc.

Cheng Guang discovered that even the non-staff members of the Lantern Division had high levels of cultivation. Those with the lowest level of cultivation had reached the fourth-level magical power realm, which was only stronger than Lin Cheng.

Lincheng status-1
This line of text came to Cheng Guang's mind and he couldn't help but laugh.

The old man in front of him handed Cheng Guang another pile of information. This information was filled with information related to the memory of the prince. Since he wanted to check the memory of the prince, he first needed to know the information related to the memory of the prince.

This information covers a wide range of information, from remembering the birth of the prince to his subsequent disappearance. All information is included in it. However, some information is not completely recorded. Otherwise, there would not be what it is now. appearance.

Cheng Guang estimated that if the information about missing the prince were more detailed, the thickness of this information would have to be at least ten times larger.

"Your Majesty, if you want non-staff members, just go to the Personnel Hall over there and look for them. These non-staff members still need to complete a few tasks before they can be promoted to full members and become a black light agent, so they are very important to complete the tasks. Very urgent..."

"The task of finding and missing the crown prince is too difficult. Why don't we choose other simpler tasks?"

The old man said with a bit of worry. While speaking, he took out some tasks from the side and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, these are the tasks that I have summarized by the old man. I don't take out the tasks that have many merits but few tasks. I don't give them to ordinary people. Your Majesty, how about you choose these tasks again?”

Cheng Guang couldn't help laughing when he saw this, "You really think I'm here to complete the task and improve my position."

If Cheng Guang really wanted to complete the mission and improve his position by obtaining meritorious deeds, he wouldn't have to come to the lamp department himself. Cheng Zhihai would help him get everything done.

He just had to lie down.

Cheng Guang smiled and rejected the old man's kindness. Without saying anything or explaining anything, he took the information and walked out of the mission hall.

But after a while, he arrived at the personnel hall that the old man mentioned.

When the official from the Personnel Hall's Lantern Department saw Cheng Guang's arrival, he was so frightened that his whole body tensed up and his every move became a little stiff.

After Cheng Guang handed over the personnel information in his hand to the officials of the Personnel Hall, they quickly went to find the person for Cheng Guang.

The members of the Personnel Hall acted very efficiently. Cheng Guang only had to wait for a cup of tea before all his non-staff members arrived in front of him.

There are five people in total.

Three men and two women.

The highest cultivation realm is the fifth-grade Kaishen realm, and the lowest is the fourth-grade magical power realm.

When these five people came to the Personnel Hall, they originally thought that the person who came to them to perform the task was just an ordinary black light agent.

And when they saw the peerless noble man sitting at a desk, waiting for them quietly, it was Cheng Guang.

Everyone was stunned and stunned.

The five people instantly became a little more reserved, and both men and women became a little more awkward.

However, they did not dare to be rude. Even though their bodies were filled with nervousness, they still came over and greeted Cheng Guang respectfully.

"Sir."

Cheng Guang nodded in response.

"Your Majesty, may I ask, what mission are we going to complete this time?" Among the five, a tall and muscular man asked cautiously.

His name is Xu Hongfei. Not only is he the tallest and strongest, but his cultivation is also the highest among the five.

Fifth-grade Kaishen Realm.

Cheng Guang handed them the information about missing the prince in his hand, stood up, and stretched lazily, "Our mission goal this time is to find the missing prince. The five of you will follow me and work hard. Let's strive to be together in one place." Within the month, we will find the missing prince’s whereabouts.”

Cheng Guang said, smiling at the five people, showing a faint and extremely gentle smile.

When Xu Hongfei and the other five heard Cheng Guang's words, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

"what???"

The mouths of Xu Hongfei and others could not help but open wide, and their eyes almost popped out. It was quite like the sight of a small soldier in Journey to the West who was asked by the king to capture Tang Monk.

Who is Miss Miss Prince?

The deposed prince of the previous dynasty could deal with the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty for decades and still exist safely. How could he be caught so easily.

The prince is not crazy, is he?

He actually wanted to take these non-staff members to find the missing prince...

Xu Hongfei pursed his lips a few times and didn't know what to say for a moment, but after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but say:

"The Crown Prince... Well, I must be honest, but the task of remembering the Crown Prince is beyond our reach. Only people above the Silver Lantern Catcher level can challenge it..."

"If we want to complete this task, I'm afraid we won't be able to find the missing prince within a month. By then, it will be a waste of time and energy."

Xu Hongfei did not dare to offend Cheng Guang, so he was always cautious when he spoke, observing Cheng Guang's expression every word, for fear that what he said would anger Cheng Guang.

And Cheng Guang was not as narrow-minded as Xu Hongfei imagined. It was completely within his expectation that Xu Hongfei and the others would think so.

For people like Xu Honghong, it didn't matter whether he wanted them or not. It was just a formality, so he immediately smiled and said:
"I don't force you to follow me to complete the mission. After all, it may be a waste of a month and get nothing, so I will leave the choice to you. You can decide for yourself whether you want to follow me or not."

"I don't blame you."

After Cheng Guang finished speaking, the faces of Xu Hongfei and the other five people in front of him became much more complicated.

They really don't want to waste time.

For these non-staff members, time is more important than money.

The reason is also very simple. If they can complete more tasks, they can officially join the Lantern Division earlier and become a black light agent of the Lantern Division.

Once there, they can receive tasks themselves, obtain meritorious deeds, and exchange them for various resources to further enhance their strength.

Moreover, the salary of a light agent is not low. Just a black light agent earns 30 taels of silver a month, which is as much as an ordinary person earns in a year.

There is no doubt that for ordinary people, the remuneration of a light keeper is indeed very attractive.

Taken together for these two reasons, not many non-staff members are willing to waste their time and spend this month looking for the missing prince in an attempt to complete this illusory task.

However, following a noble person like the Crown Prince to complete a mission, even if there is no progress in the final mission, it is great to be able to hug the Crown Prince's lap.

However, is it possible for their non-staff personnel to come into contact with such a huge figure as the Crown Prince?

After a mission, if there is no progress, it will appear that they are incompetent. Not only can they not hold the crown prince's lap, but the crown prince may blame them.

No one can bear the prince's blame.

For a moment, all five people fell silent.

Cheng Guang did not rush them, but drank tea quietly on the side.

After a while, someone hesitated and walked out slowly.

The man was relatively thin, his face was a little sallow, and he seemed to be malnourished.

He looked at Cheng Guang timidly and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I, Chen Qing, am afraid that I cannot follow the Crown Prince to complete this task. My mother is now seriously ill and needs to spend a lot of money on treatment every month. So I need to complete more tasks as soon as possible, accumulate enough qualifications and merits, and be promoted to a black light agent, but I really don’t have time..."

"Sorry."

After Chen Qing finished speaking, Cheng Guang's expression did not change at all, with a gentle smile on his lips, "Who else wants to quit?"

Following Chen Qing, several non-staff members walked out slowly soon.

They are two girls among the five.

They were actually a little coveted for Cheng Guang's body, and their eyes had been stealing glances at Cheng Guang from the beginning. Although they were coveting Cheng Guang's body, they did not dare to directly follow Cheng Guang to complete this mission of finding the missing prince.

Even many golden lantern detectives don't have much confidence that they can find the missing prince.

How could the prince, a person who had never handled a case and had little intelligence gathering ability, lead them to find the missing prince? ?

This is basically impossible to do.

To find the missed prince, it would be impossible to find the missing prince just by relying on non-staff personnel like them, plus the prince alone.

Therefore, the two girls quickly stood up at the same time and spoke out rather delicately.

"Your Majesty, we can't do it anymore. Our family is poor and we don't have so much time to waste."

At the same time, besides these two girls, besides Xu Hongfei, another boy also stood up.

What he said has the same meaning as the previous few people.

He just felt that following Cheng Guang to find the whereabouts of the missing prince was a complete waste of time.

They will waste time in vain without any gain.

Cheng Guang was not surprised by this, but felt it was a pity.

It's not a pity for him.

But feel pity for these people who just rejected them.

Just now, the gears of their fate had begun to turn, but they stopped them alive.

I gave you a chance, but you didn’t use it.

Cheng Guang sighed in his heart, and then his eyes fell on the last person.

There is still the last Xu Hongfei left. If Xu Hongfei doesn't want to do this task with him, he will really become a loner.

This is fucked up.

Cheng Guang was a little doubtful, whether he had said something wrong and shouldn't have said it just now, allowing them to freely choose whether to stay or go.

What he said now was like water thrown out, and he could no longer refute it.

It doesn't matter if there is no one, and the non-staff personnel of the Lighting Department are unreliable, so it is not impossible for him to join a team of white light agents at the worst.

Cheng Guang rubbed his chin and thought like this.

Just when Cheng Guang thought that Xu Hongfei, who had raised doubts from the beginning, would refuse and let him fly alone, Xu Hongfei showed a hint of confusion on his face and walked towards Cheng Guang and saluted solemnly.

"Your Majesty, they are unwilling to follow you, but I, Xu Hongfei, am willing to fight to the death!"

Cheng Guang was a little surprised, let out a light sigh, and looked at Xu Hongfei.

Xu Hongfei noticed the way Cheng Guang looked at him. He didn't know what Cheng Guang was thinking. His expression remained unchanged and he still bowed his head respectfully.

"Your Majesty, when I asked that question before, I didn't think that the Crown Prince would be unable to complete the task. I just wanted to see how confident the Crown Prince was about the task, so I have been observing the Crown Prince since just now."

"I found that the prince's face never showed much panic from the beginning. Even in the face of my doubts and the departure of Chen Qing and the other four, the calm look on the prince's face did not change at all."

"So, I believe that the Crown Prince can complete the mission, rather than taking a chance."

After Xu Hongfei finished speaking, Cheng Guang was a little surprised.

This Xu Hongfei...

Fine...

You can even observe his head.

After hearing Xu Hongfei's words, Cheng Guang was a little confused as to whether Xu Hongfei just wanted to see how sure he was about finding the missing prince, so he deliberately said those words just now to test him.

He was tested, and at the same time he was tricked by his other teammates.

The expressions of the four people, including Chen Qing, changed instantly after hearing Xu Hongfei's words.

Became iron black.

He almost didn't point at Xu Hongfei and scolded him, "You are a real dog."

Basically, they didn't have much confidence in this mission because of Xu Hongfei's words. They felt that it was a waste of time to follow the prince to complete the mission of finding and missing the prince.

And now looking at it...

It doesn’t seem like a waste of time.

When Chen Qing and others thought carefully at this time, they suddenly realized that the Crown Prince was the Crown Prince after all. What kind of members did he need and couldn't find?

Why come to these supernumerary agents?

Besides, the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince after all. It is impossible for him to suddenly want to carry out a mission for no reason. There may be some internal information.

perhaps……

Maybe Director Cheng has already paved the way for the Crown Prince.

Chen Qing and the others had some speculations in their minds.

At this time, they all believed that Cheng Guang might really be able to complete the task, and the certainty was beyond their expectations.

However, there is no guarantee of 100% certainty, at least more than half.

If the Crown Prince is absolutely sure, there will probably be countless golden lantern agents begging to join the Crown Prince's team. How can they be reduced to non-staff personnel like them, who are not considered black lantern agents.

And if you complete the mission with the crown prince and find the whereabouts of the missing prince, you can still get a lot of merit even if you can't deal with the missing prince.

That large amount of meritorious service not only allows them to be promoted from a non-staff member of the Lighting Department to a black light agent, but if they are bolder, it may not be impossible to be directly promoted to a white light agent.

Such a big span is nothing to Cheng Guang.

But for people like Chen Qing, it can be said that they have reached the sky in one step.

Thinking of this.

Chen Qing and the other four were almost overcome with regret.

Oh shit.

The prince refused too quickly! !

Even though Cheng Guang didn't say anything at this time, he still looked at them with a smile on his face. That faint smile made them feel more pain than ridicule.

The biggest opportunity in life was wasted by them.

It was then that they suddenly realized that even if they followed the Crown Prince and failed to find the missing Crown Prince and failed to complete the mission, there was no harm in it.

Being able to follow the prince and complete the mission is already an opportunity.

If you can hold the prince's thigh tightly during this period, wouldn't it be like taking off directly? ?

After thinking about it, the faces of Chen Qing and the others suddenly became miserable.

Especially the eyes of the two girls turned red instantly.

She already looked like she was about to drop her pearls.

Cheng Guang didn't look at them too much. Even if they left, he wouldn't want them back.

Cheng Guang looked at Xu Hongfei a few more times and found that this Xu Hongfei was much smarter than the other four. It seemed that just one person was enough.

He stood up, took the information, and walked out of the hall.

Xu Hongfei quickly followed up and left the lamp holding department behind Cheng Guang.

Chen Qing and the other four people who stayed where they were, looked at Cheng Guang and Xu Honghong leaving with slightly sad expressions and looked at each other a few times.

I just feel that the biggest opportunity in their lives has been pushed away by them with their own hands.At first I thought it was a waste of time, as the missing prince could not be found at all.

Now I suddenly feel that the prince still has a chance to find the prince who misses him.

Although this was just a guess and had no basis, it still made them feel uncomfortable for a while.

"Hey, don't think too much. The deal is done. Let's just wait peacefully for others to come to us to complete the task."

"It's all Xu Hongfei's fault. We didn't even think about leaving the Crown Prince's team just now. The Crown Prince is the Crown Prince after all. If he didn't mention it, how could we dare to leave."

"What else is there to say? We don't believe that the Crown Prince can complete the mission and can find the missing Crown Prince. It doesn't matter."

"By the way, what do you think is the probability that the Crown Prince will be able to complete the mission?"

"Theoretically speaking, if a black light agent goes looking for Xu Hongfei together, there is not much chance. But since the black light agent is the prince, the chance is quite high. I didn't feel relieved just now. Now that I think about it, even if If the Crown Prince fails to complete the task, the Secretary General and the others may give the Crown Prince the credit for completing the mission after finding and missing the crown prince..."

Chen Qing and the four people kept talking.

For a moment, their intestines were about to turn green.

At this time, Cheng Guang had already left the Lantern Holding Division with Xu Honghong.

Lin Cheng was waiting outside. When he saw Cheng Guang leaving the lamp holding department, he immediately came up to him and said, "Your Majesty."

Cheng Guang nodded slightly, got on his horse and said, "Let's go."

Lin Cheng quickly followed up and asked aloud: "Your Majesty, where are we going now?"

Cheng Guang didn't reply, but just turned his attention to Xu Hongfei.

"Xu Hongfei, do you know where the demon clan has appeared frequently in recent times?"

When Xu Hongfei heard Cheng Guang's question, he reacted immediately and said quickly:

"Your Majesty, most of the places where monsters appear frequently recently are near Xiaobai Village, Xilitang, Hanting Liuli, and Nanping Village."

Xu Hongfei said, his brows couldn't help but wrinkled, "Your Majesty, speaking of the increasing number of demon clan smuggling incidents recently, I don't know where these demon clans smuggled over from. It was said that the director was all in the country some time ago. I checked, but nothing was found.”

"Now that the incident of missing the prince comes out, I'm afraid that no one will have the time or energy to investigate where the monsters smuggled over from. As soon as those monsters show their faces, we can rush there and kill them. "

At the end, Xu Hongfei couldn't help but show some doubts on his face and looked at Cheng Guang.

"Prince, why are you asking this? Is the smuggling of the demon clan related to missing the prince?"

Xu Hongfei was not very stupid. He immediately realized that Cheng Guang's question was probably related to their mission.

However, although he had guessed that Cheng Guang's question was probably related to their mission to find the missing prince, but for a while, he couldn't guess what the relationship between the demon clan's smuggling incident and missing the prince was.

Could it be that the missing prince was also involved in the demon clan's smuggling? ?

Xu Hongfei couldn't help but think so, but quickly shook his head, trying to convince himself to deny this idea.

Improbable, too ridiculous.

How can the demon clan get in touch with Prince Miss? Even if they come into contact with Prince Miss, how can they cooperate with Prince Miss...

The human race and the demon race are incompatible with each other, and the two races are mortal enemies when they meet.

How can we cooperate?

Xu Hongfei tried to convince himself, but he found that the effect of convincing himself was not very good.

After all, anything impossible can happen to a desperado like Miss Miss Prince.

After Xu Hongfei finished asking, he fell silent.

Cheng Guang neither admitted nor denied. He smiled lightly, turned to look at Xu Hongfei, and asked, "Where are the places you mentioned, and how far are they from the canal?"

When Xu Hongfei heard this, he thought for a moment and said: "These places are not on the edge of the canal, they are quite far away from the canal."

After hearing this, Cheng Guang raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that it was interesting.

"Not even on the edge of the canal?"

Xu Hongfei nodded, but then he seemed to think of something again. He took out a map from his arms and looked at it for a few times, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"My lord, look."

Xu Hongfei raised the map to Cheng Guang's side so that Cheng Guang could see it clearly.

"Your Majesty, this is the place where the demon clan I just listed may appear. Although it is not on the edge of the canal, there are tributaries of the canal passing by..."

Cheng Guang took one look and made a decision in his mind.

These monsters are not completely stupid.

They still knew that they couldn't appear concentrated near the canal and expose their base camp.

However, it is still not much smarter.

They thought that as long as they ran along the canal and along the tributaries, they could completely avoid the detection of the lamp bearer. However, they did not expect that there was such a prophetic existence like themselves.

Just by looking at it, I discovered something strange.

Cheng Guang planned to search along the tributaries where demons were infested to see if he could find any clues and then follow them into the canal.

Although he knew that the space-time rift used by the demon clan to sneak across was near Heming Island, he had no idea how far it was from Heming Island.

When there is a restriction to isolate the breath, even if he passes through the time and space rift, he may not be able to find the specific location.

You still have to determine a general range first, and then find the specific location.

After finding the specific location, Cheng Guang felt that he didn't need to take care of the next thing.

The rest can be left to Cheng Zhihai.

Cheng Guang thought like this and without any hesitation, he immediately wanted to take Lin Cheng and Xu Hongfei out of Kyoto and go to the location mentioned by them.

But before he left Kyoto, he felt Song Yunqi's troubled gaze.

This time, the place Cheng Guang wanted to go was too far away from Kyoto, and he was afraid that something might happen to Cheng Guang.

Song Yunqi hesitated for a moment, but in the end said nothing. He sighed and led several other guards to follow Cheng Guang.

After all, the prince is now a black light agent of the Lantern Department. The director should have allowed the prince to leave Kyoto.

Besides, with him as a golden lantern agent following Cheng Guang, it was considered safe.

I don't think there will be any surprises.

Song Yunqi comforted himself and thought like this, but he still mustered up his best energy and carefully looked after Cheng Guang.

If something unexpected happened to the prince, Song Yunqi realized that even if he had a hundred heads, it would not be enough to kill him.

After leaving Kyoto, we traveled quickly.

About three hours later, Cheng Guang arrived at the Xiaobai Village that Xu Hongfei had mentioned.

Xiaobai Village is surrounded by mountains and water, and has a quiet environment.Walking along the small roads in the village, you can see houses with white walls and black tiles, rippling blue ponds and moss-covered creek pits.

Ten miles away from Xiaobai Village, there is a river flowing through it.

The river is gurgling and the waves are turbulent. Because this river flows from a canal, the water volume is only larger than that of an ordinary river.

Cheng Guang walked along the river towards Xiaobai Village. He found that many trees along the way were broken and collapsed, and there were also traces of the monsters' damage here.

When we arrived at Xiaobai Village, the courtyard walls of every household became messy and mottled. The quiet environment everywhere seemed to have been swept by some violent storm and everything was destroyed.

There was still a faint smell of blood in the air.

When Cheng Guang walked into Xiaobai Village, someone in Xiaobai Village seemed to have discovered the whereabouts of the group of them, and he cautiously poked his head out to take a look.

After seeing the appearance of Cheng Guang and others, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, walked out quickly, saluted to Cheng Guang and others:
"I don't know if some of the lantern-bearing adults are here. I'm a bit disappointed in my welcome. I hope you can forgive me."

Cheng Guang looked at the appearance of the visitor.

I found that most of the people here were quite old people. They all had gray hair and were dressed in commoners. They looked like typical farmers.

Dozens of old people gathered at the entrance of the village, each looking at Cheng Guang's appearance curiously.

In the entire Xiaobai Village, except for the elderly, no young face can be seen anymore.

When Xu Hongfei saw the visitor, he couldn't help but frowned and asked: "Old man, why are you still here? There are traces of monsters here. You are here. What should you do if another monster attacks? ?”

After Xu Hongfei finished speaking, the leader of Xiaobai Village said with a bitter face: "Sir, we also know that Xiaobai Village will still be at risk of being attacked by monsters. However, February and March this year are the time of sowing. If we are here today, If we are not in Xiaobai Village and there is no farming, there will be no harvest next year. Dozens of families in Xiaobai Village will not have food rations to eat, but they will starve to death."

"But adults, please rest assured. We have sent all the young people, women and children in the village to the city. The only ones left in the village are us old guys. Even if they are dead, It’s not worth much, so don’t worry about anything.”

After the village chief of Xiaobai Village finished speaking, he comforted Cheng Guang and others and asked, "Why did the adults come to Xiaobai Village again? Is there another demon clan in the area?"

"Oh, this damn monster tribe suddenly appeared from nowhere. Once it appeared, I don't know how many people died. Fortunately, the adults holding the lamp were here. Otherwise, with us, how could those people have died?" The opponent of the ferocious demon clan."

"However, it's better for the adults to be careful and not to be hurt by the demon clan."

The village chief of Xiaobai Village seems to be a talker too. Even if Cheng Guang and others don't respond, he can still talk non-stop on his own.

When Xu Hongfei heard what the village chief of Xiaobai Village said, he wanted to say something. However, when he looked at the old farmer in Xiaobai Village with a face full of vicissitudes of life and dirt, he didn't know what to say.

He was originally from the countryside and came from a poor family. He still sympathized with the farmers living at the bottom of the Zhou Dynasty and knew that he could not force anything on these farmers even if it was against the rules.

If they really want to move away from Xiaobai Village, they will not be able to plant crops this year. There will be no harvest next year, and even if they are not killed by the demon clan, they will starve to death.

Cheng Guang also frowned slightly at this time.

After all, this Xiaobai Village is still under the emperor's feet, and it still looks like this, and survival is so difficult. In order to make a living, all the old people in the village came out and risked their lives to farm...

This……

Cheng Guang was speechless for a while.

He couldn't imagine what the living conditions of those at the bottom of the Zhou Dynasty were like in villages far away from Kyoto and other remote places in the Zhou Dynasty.

That's all for this era.

Under the governance of Emperor Zhou, things have improved a lot.

In the past, the living situation of these farmers was even more difficult. They would be oppressed by powerful officials and officials at any time, and [-]% of a year's harvest would be exploited at all levels.

The remaining [-]% is barely enough to maintain the family's basic livelihood.

If the harvest in a year is generally not good, then someone in the family will definitely starve to death.

This is already the norm.

Except for Cheng Guanghui who felt uncomfortable with this, although others also felt that it was not worth it for these old farmers to risk their lives and death, they did not feel as strongly as Cheng Guang.

"Sir, would you like to go to the village and drink a few cups of herbal tea? Although the village is poor and has nothing, it still has a few simple meals. If you don't mind it, please go to the village to eat something and drink some tea. take a break."

Cheng Guang shook his head, "No need, old village chief, do you know where the demon clan appeared?"

When Cheng Guang asked what he said, the head of Xiaobai Village pointed to a place on the river bank in the distance and said: "The demon clan that the Lord is talking about suddenly appeared from that direction and killed many young people in our village. They were all plundered."

As he said that, the village chief of Xiaobai Village looked sad: "Many people were eaten and robbed by the demon clan. If the adults holding the lamps hadn't arrived in time, our Xiaobai Village would have been completely destroyed." .”

Cheng Guang was silent for a moment after hearing this.

He could smell the strong smell of blood just before he got close to Xiaobai Village. He thought that the situation in Xiaobai Village would not be too good, but he did not expect that it would be so serious.

"Let's go have a look."

Cheng Guang looked in the direction pointed by the village chief of Xiaobai Village.

Lin Cheng and Xu Hongfei were following closely behind him.

The village chief of Xiaobai Village on the side took the initiative to lead Cheng Guang.

After walking for only a while, we reached the bank of the river.

Here, there were huge monster beast footprints on the river bank, and the monster aura was the strongest they had experienced along the way.

Even though some time has passed, the evil spirit in this place is still so obvious.

This level of cultivation must be at least the fourth level...

Not particularly powerful.

Cheng Guang rubbed his chin and speculated secretly.

he knows.

The monster clan that appeared here came to attack Xiaobai Village not to satisfy their appetite, but to cooperate with Bai Shuxuan in assassinating him and attract Cheng Zhihai's attention.

Lure Cheng Zhihai out of Kyoto and away from Cheng Guang's location. The further away Cheng Zhihai is, the greater the chance that they will succeed in assassinating Cheng Guang.

It just failed in the end.

Later, even Cheng Zhihai began to investigate how and where the demon clan smuggled into Dazhou, but before he could investigate the reason, an accident occurred during the martial arts competition between Dazhou and Dawei, which disrupted his original plan. plan.

The investigation into the demon clan's smuggling was delayed.

But now, the matter of missing the prince has appeared again.

Cheng Zhihai and the entire Damp Division could no longer focus entirely on investigating the demon clan's smuggling, so they put it all aside and focused on investigating the matter of missing the prince.

The priorities of things have changed.

Compared with missing the prince, the demon clan's smuggling incident was too minor and would not attract the attention of the entire Lantern Holding Division.

If Cheng Guang hadn't come to investigate now, I'm afraid no one would come to care about the demon clan's smuggling here.

Cheng Guang was thinking in his mind, walked to the river bank and squatted down.

The demon clan swam all the way along the river bank without leaving many traces in the river. I wanted to follow the traces left by the demon clan all the way to the canal until I found the time in the canal. The specific location of the crack is really unrealistic.

However, at least a general direction can be determined.

Cheng Guang stood up and smiled at the mayor of Xiaobai Village: "Village Chief, if nothing else happens, there should be no more monsters around here. You can rest assured. If there are any accidents, report them in time." The government, just let us, the people in charge of the lighting department, come over and deal with it."

The village chief of Xiaobai Village nodded quickly and agreed.

A look of sincerity and fear.

For them, the government is an existence that they can avoid provoking.

When there is really no other way, they will go to the government and ask the person in charge of the lighting department to come and deal with it.

There is no problem with the person holding the lighting department.

Some people in the government are more frightening to them than monsters and ghosts.

Cheng Guang read this information from the expression of the village chief of Xiaobai Village.

He sighed inwardly and didn't know what to say. After wandering around the area again, he headed to other villages where demons appeared as mentioned by Xu Honghong.

It took Cheng Guang several days to visit all the canal basins covering thousands of miles around Kyoto.

After finding out the approximate strength of the demons appearing in each village and the approximate distance from the canal, he already had a result in his mind.

Generally speaking, the weaker the monster, the shorter the distance between the canal and the space-time rift.

Their cultivation strength cannot support them from running too far away.

The stronger the monster, the more likely it is that it can travel farther and prevent the monsters from being too concentrated.

Based on this rule, Cheng Guang discovered that the demons around Xiaobai Village were the least powerful.

The further around you go, the stronger the demon becomes.

Doesn't this mean that among all the villages in Xiaobai Village where demons appear, it is the village closest to the rift at that time? ?
Thinking about it again, Xiaobai Village is indeed quite close to Heming Island, but the distance is not enough. Many of this is because the tributaries of the canal have taken some detours.

When Cheng Guang thought of this, his brows couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Damn it, I searched and searched, but ended up back where I started.

Co-authorship is here, right?

Ji Guang felt that he had discovered a blind spot.

It's just that the rift in time and space is the focus of demons. Most of them are not simple in strength. There may be a demon emperor. He really can't afford to offend him now.

If you are in doubt, don't panic first, go back and bring in reinforcements.
