Chapter 84 Discussing the wedding date! (Please subscribe)
After the dark clouds passed, the evening sky seemed to become clearer. It was not dark, but had a clear blue color.
The Senli Canal outside Kyoto was tinged with a thin layer of light under the setting sun.
Cheng Guang glanced at the dim light on the canal, unable to see through the evil spirits hidden in the canal, so he took Lin Cheng, Xu Hongfei and his party back to the Zhenguo Palace.
There was a big difference in the entrance hall of Zhenguogong Mansion this evening.
On weekdays, there were only two guards in front of the door, but today there were four more.
Moreover, these four people are obviously not the guards of the Zhenguo Palace, but look like veterans who have come off the battlefield. Although they are dressed in casual clothes and black clothes, they all have a cleaver on their backs, even though they are separated from each other. A few feet away, Cheng Guang could feel the cold air emanating from the swords on their backs.
"These are all brave soldiers who survived the battlefield. Their martial arts training is also extraordinary. Each one of them is an extremely strong and brave man."
Cheng Guang knew that these guards were all generals who had survived the battlefield, and they were most likely under the command of Duke Zhen Guo Cheng Shiyuan. The arrival of these guards did not prove that Duke Zhen Guo Cheng Shiyuan was back?
Cheng Guang thought for a while and felt that it was unlikely. Generally speaking, Zhen Guogong stayed near the border all year round and would not leave the border unless there were special circumstances.
Then why are these old soldiers here?
Are there other reasons?
Cheng Guang couldn't understand, and he didn't care about it. At the moment, his thoughts were all on the demon clan and the missing prince. The situation of these old soldiers was irrelevant.
Cheng Guang entered the entrance hall, and the guards looked at Cheng Guang with a sharp gaze, as if they were testing and observing. Facing the guards' stern gazes, Cheng Guang did not feel timid at all, but looked at each other calmly. go back.
These guards didn't look like their own people, and they dared to look at him like this.
As Cheng Guang was thinking this, the eyes of the four old soldiers in front of him suddenly relaxed, with appreciative glances on their faces, and their bodies bent slightly with a little respect.
"Your Majesty, General Qin has arrived at the mansion to discuss the wedding date with your Majesty."
As the old soldier said this, he turned aside respectfully and invited Cheng Guang to enter the mansion.
General Qin?
wedding date?
Were these old soldiers brought here by General Qin?
Cheng Guang suddenly thought of something. He remembered the marriage that his parents had arranged for him before, that big Bingtuozi named Qin Yanqiu.
so……
Is this General Qin my future father-in-law?
And these old soldiers in front of me are the people brought here by General Qin?
Cheng Guang's mind was filled with thoughts, and he figured out these things in an instant.
General Qin came over to discuss the wedding date with Cheng Zhihai and the others. He thought that the marriage was certain and had been decided.
Cheng Guang didn't feel the need to get involved in this kind of thing. This was the case in this era. Most marriages could be handled by his parents, so he could just wait and get married.
Cheng Guang nodded slightly in response and went straight into the entrance. Several old soldiers who had just looked at Cheng Guang with a scrutinizing gaze also turned slightly sideways and respectfully cleared the way for Cheng Guang.
When Cheng Guang returned to Wanxiang Garden, he saw Qingluan already busy in the side room, seemingly preparing some food for him.
After running around for several days in a row, looking for the whereabouts of the demon clan, I didn't spend more time with Qingluan. However, Qingluan didn't complain about anything. He just silently prepared the meals that Cheng Guang needed when he came back and the things he needed to wash and bathe. Hot water etc.
Cheng Guang's heart felt warm, "Qingluan, don't be busy, usually just ask the servants to bring you some food."
After entering the courtyard, Qingluan got some hot water for him to wash his hands.
Cheng Guang smiled and replied: "I've been away working on cases these days, so you don't need to wait for me to come back. Go to bed early as it's getting late."
Qingluan shook his head stubbornly and said: "The prince has not come back, how can Qingluan sleep first? At least he has to wait for the prince to wash up before Qingluan can feel at ease."
Cheng Guang burst into laughter upon seeing this and didn't know what to say.
Qingluan made a suggestion instead, looking at Cheng Guang with his beautiful eyes.
"Why don't you, Prince, take Qingluan with you when you go out to handle a case?"
When Cheng Guang heard this, he immediately didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What are you talking about? How can I take a woman with me when I go out to handle a case? We are all rough guys, so it is very inconvenient to take a woman with you."
"But after checking for a few days, I have some idea of the location of the demon clan. This demon clan matter should be over soon."
When Qingluan heard this, her Jiaoyan was obviously stunned. She tilted her head and looked at Cheng Guang, and asked curiously: "Hey, Your Majesty, you have been checking the demon clan these days. I thought you were..." I’m looking for the missing prince.”
"What does the investigation of those demon clans who have smuggled in have to do with missing the prince?"
"Does the Crown Prince want to find Bai Shuxuan?"
Cheng Guang smiled and said, "You don't understand this."
Qingluan softly said "hmm" and looked at Cheng Guang with beautiful eyes, as if she wanted to wait for Cheng Guang to explain to her and clear up her confusion.
However, Cheng Guang lost the interest in answering and resumed his role as the Mystery Man.
Qingluan was so angry that she puffed up her mouth and pursed her red lips. She wanted to squeeze Cheng Guang's waist with her little hands, but in the end she didn't dare, so she could only secretly sulk.
Cheng Guang burst out laughing when he saw this. Just when he was about to say something, Butler Wang's voice came from outside the house.
"Your Majesty, I asked you to go to the main hall. General Qin said that he wants to see you, Your Majesty."
Qingluan was obviously startled when Butler Wang's voice came, but he quickly reacted and pushed Cheng Guang to stand up.
"Oh, Your Majesty, I almost forgot, General Qin came here early this morning, but Your Majesty, you were away handling the case at the time, so you didn't know yet."
"Then General Qin should have made a special trip to discuss your prince's marriage with the family master. He has been waiting for you all day."
"Hurry up and see General Qin. It will not be good if the time is delayed."
Qingluan said, pushing Cheng Guang out.
Cheng Guang was helpless, thinking that his butt was not yet hot.
He knew that General Qin was still in the mansion, but he didn't expect that he had come here early in the morning. The reason why he hadn't left yet was simply because he wanted to meet his future son-in-law.
And as soon as he returned home, the other party sent someone over to ask him to come over.
Qingluan helped Cheng Guang tidy up his clothes. He didn't have time to change out of the lantern holder's clothes, so he simply wore them and went to see the General Qin.
The lamp bearer's clothes are not ugly either, and there is nothing rude about wearing them when meeting guests.
After leaving the courtyard gate, Cheng Guang went straight to the main hall.
At this time, many people were already sitting in the Youtang Hall of the Zhenguogong Mansion and the guest courtyard.
"General Qin, please wait a moment. The child Guang'er has been summoned and will be here soon."
Wu Yuemei sat at the top and spoke softly.
Beside Wu Yuemei, Cheng Zhihai also smiled and said to General Qin on the side: "Speaking of which, Qin Beifeng, this is your first time meeting my family Guang'er, right?"
"My Guang'er has been in the limelight recently, and I don't know if you have heard of it. In the martial arts competition between the two countries of Wei and Zhou, my Guang'er was much more conspicuous than some of the participating martial arts students. "
Cheng Zhihai boasted about Cheng Guang's achievements without blushing.
In the hall, the middle-aged man called General Qin, also known as Qin Beifeng, nodded from time to time.
He didn't pay attention to Cheng Zhihai's words, but looked outside the hall, as if waiting for someone.
When he saw a tall figure approaching outside the hall, his eyes suddenly lit up and he stood up involuntarily and walked towards the person.
"Oh, this is Guang'er. You really have an extraordinary appearance. I don't know how much more handsome you are than your father. When I first saw your portrait, I couldn't believe it. You are the grandson of the old Duke. Who is this? Cheng Zhihai’s son.”
As Qin Beifeng spoke, he looked at Cheng Guang's appearance. When he saw that Cheng Guang's eyes did not shift at all even when he was facing him, his eyes were bright and neither humble nor arrogant, and he immediately felt satisfied.
What made Qin Beifeng even more satisfied was not just Cheng Guang's appearance, but Cheng Guang's temperament.
He was clearly the eldest son of the Duke of Zhen, a figure who stood at the pinnacle of power in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he did not have the temperament of a playboy. Not only did he not look domineering, but he had a gentle smile, like the spring breeze blowing on his face.
Qin Beifeng became even more satisfied when he saw this.
If the eldest son of the Duke of Zhen was so superficial and dandy, even if he had agreed with the old Duke to marry his daughter to his grandson, he would still feel that he had pushed his daughter into a pit of fire.
But now, he already feels that his choice is not too bad.
Qin Beifeng was very enthusiastic. While he was sizing up Cheng Guang, Cheng Guang was also sizing him up.
Qin Beifeng was in his thirties. He was tall and straight, like a straight pine tree, standing on the ground. He was majestic and majestic, and his whole body naturally exuded a majestic and firm temperament.
The clothes are also very simple, with a black and green armor inlaid with golden patterns, and a sword blade stained with light blood hanging from his waist. The light on the sword is still shining with speckled glaze spots in the setting sun.
Extraordinary temperament and amazing strength.
This Qin Beifeng is the same age as Cheng Zhihai, but his cultivation level seems to be much higher than that of Cheng Zhihai...
Cheng Guang looked at Qin Beifeng and felt that this big man could become his father-in-law not only because his daughter was extremely beautiful, but also because this big man himself was a worthy candidate.
"Uncle Qin."
Cheng Guang looked at Qin Beifeng for a while without paying too much attention. If he looked at him any further, it would be a bit rude, so he lowered his head slightly and saluted Qin Beifeng.
Qin Beifeng didn't care much and quickly supported Cheng Guang.
The two chatted for a while, and Qin Beifeng praised Cheng Guang's appearance, while at the same time devaluing Cheng Zhihai's appearance as worthless.
Cheng Zhihai wasn't angry either, and looked on with a smile.
He also felt that his son's appearance was much more handsome than his own.
At the same time, Cheng Guang also praised Qin Beifeng for his majestic temperament and the demeanor of a general.
Cheng Guang's ability to praise others was influenced by many of his colleagues in his previous life. He was much better than some veterans in the imperial court. Qin Beifeng, a general who didn't have many tricks up his sleeve, was praised by Cheng Guang for a while. , then smiled from ear to ear.
Wu Yuemei on the side covered her mouth with one hand, chuckled, and quickly interrupted the two of them.
If they continue to praise each other like this, then there is no need to talk about other things, they can just continue to praise each other like this.
Qin Beifeng stopped, but he still had an unfinished expression on his face. He felt that it was too late to meet Cheng Guang, and he wished he could hold Cheng Guang in his arms and chat for three days and three nights.
"Guang'er, this is your Uncle Qin. He is also a general beside your grandfather. His daughter Qin Yanqiu is your fiancée."
Wu Yuemei said softly at this time: "We have just discussed and decided on the wedding date. We have decided to hold your wedding one month later, that is, after the royal ceremony."
"Before the royal ceremony, it is not easy for our Zhenguo Palace to do anything grand. If it takes away the limelight of the royal ceremony, even if the emperor will not say anything, other people, or many ministers in the court, will still gossip. of."
After Wu Yuemei finished speaking, Cheng Guang also nodded to express his understanding.
Cheng Zhihai smiled and said, "Guang'er, do you have anything to ask about the wedding date?"
"If you think it's too early, you can put it off a little longer. We originally planned to let him and Yanqiu's child meet in advance today, but it's a pity that Yanqiu's child didn't come."
"It's said that the demon clan has been uneasy on the recent battlefield in the realm, so there is nothing we can do about it. General Qin just took the time to come over and discuss the wedding date with us."
Cheng Guang shook his head and said he had no objection.
Qin Yanqiu is considered by the system to be a good candidate for marriage. His qualifications, character and appearance are all extraordinary. He is lucky to be able to marry such a woman. It would not be impossible if the wedding date can be earlier.
Qin Beifeng on the side sighed and frowned, with a lot of helplessness in his eyes.
"Yanqiu's temperament is not like ours at all. Guang'er, if we get married, you should be more considerate of her. If she doesn't come this time, I think the child is too shy. It's not that she doesn't want to come."
Although Qin Beifeng said this and found a reason for his daughter, he still felt embarrassed and his face turned red.
The two families discussed the wedding date. Logically speaking, the woman could come over even if she didn't show her face, but she didn't want to come over.
"It's okay. I also know the temperament of Yanqiu's child. He's cold on the outside but hot on the inside. But he was delayed because of something. He didn't mean to neglect us."
Wu Yuemei didn't think this matter was a big problem. Seeing that Qin Beifeng felt a little ashamed for a moment, she took the initiative to comfort him.
"She doesn't dare. If she dares to neglect you, I will break her legs!"
Qin Beifeng raised his eyebrows and said immediately.
Wu Yuemei laughed and shook her head: "That's not necessary. She is the future daughter-in-law of our Zhenguo Palace. We can't let you hurt her."
Cheng Zhihai laughed loudly: "Okay, Qin Beifeng, I don't know what kind of temper you are? You can't wait to protect that girl Yanqiu by your side every day. She's so precious. If you can break her legs, then it's really It’s the sun rising from the west.”
Qin Beifeng was exposed, but he didn't care and kept silent with a smile.
He didn't really want to break Qin Yanqiu's legs, he just wanted to let Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei know his attitude.
Everyone chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting dark, Qin Beifeng got up and left.
Before leaving, Qin Beifeng seemed to have thought of something again and looked at Cheng Zhihai and said, "You seem to have encountered some difficulties recently?"
"Can we solve the problem of missing the prince?"
"If you need my help, just ask."
When Cheng Zhihai heard this, he was so angry that he laughed and pretended to take action.
"Hey! You Qin Beifeng, I am the best at investigating people and solving cases. How can you, a reckless man who only knows how to fight, help me? Stop messing around."
Qin Beifeng smiled and was not angry, "It's best if you don't end up being directly deposed by the emperor and stay at home without having to do anything."
"But, having said that, this is also a good thing. It is also a good thing to take care of my future grandchildren in the future."
When Cheng Zhihai heard this, his face turned dark and he didn't want to speak anymore.
Qin Beifeng smiled, thought for a moment, looked at Cheng Guang, took out a token from his arms, and handed it to Cheng Guang.
"Your Majesty, this token can contact Yanqiu at any time, even if they are thousands of miles apart. The two of you will get along more with each other these days. When the wedding day comes, there will be no separation."
After saying that, Qin Beifeng turned around and went out, about to leave.
Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei took Cheng Guang out to see him off.
Qin Beifeng acted vigorously and resolutely. This time he came back to Kyoto just to discuss the wedding date with the Duke of Zhenguo. As soon as the matter was over, he had to rush back to the battlefield.
Qin Beifeng plays a pivotal role in the battlefield of the realm and even in the entire Northern Expeditionary Army. Although the entire Northern Expeditionary Army cannot function without him, it will at least be affected to some extent.
Cheng Guang guessed that he married Qin Yanqiu this time perhaps because of Qin Yanqiu's special status in the Northern Expedition and her father Qin Beifeng's special status in the Northern Expedition.
In the future, if Cheng Guang wants to inherit a million-strong Northern Expeditionary Army, even if he has no strength, with the help of his father-in-law Qin Beifeng, it will not be too difficult to inherit.
Qin Beifeng left quickly, taking several old soldiers with him.
Riding on a strange beast that looked like black wind, it soared into the sky and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
Even if this cultivation level is not yet at the Heavenly and Human Realm, it is still at the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm. It may be just a little short of the Heavenly Human Realm.
If Qin Beifeng had not served in the Northern Expeditionary Army, he would have been at least a minister of the Ministry of War in the imperial court based on his advanced cultivation.
After Qin Beifeng left, Cheng Guang followed Wu Yuemei and Cheng Zhihai back home.
Wu Yuemei was still sighing, "It's a pity that Yanqiu's child didn't come over. Otherwise, I really wanted to see that child. I haven't seen her in person for many years."
Cheng Zhihai didn't care about this. Instead, he was rubbing his chin. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but he just nodded to Wu Yuemei casually.
The two of them chatted for a while. When they were about to return to the small courtyard, Cheng Guang, who had been following them, called out to Cheng Zhihai.
Cheng Zhihai turned his head and looked at Cheng Guang with a puzzled look on his face, "Guang'er, why are you still following us? Do you want to sleep with your parents? How old are you?"
As he said that, Cheng Zhihai showed a look of disgust, as if he was a brat, don't disturb your parents' good deeds.
Inexplicably, it feels like their own children are accidents, and the two of them are truly in love.
Cheng Guang didn't care and waved to Cheng Zhihai, "Dad, I have something to do."
When Cheng Zhihai heard what Cheng Guang said and looked at Cheng Guang's rather cautious look, he also had some doubts in his heart. He said a few words to Wu Yuemei and asked Wu Yuemei to go back to the room first, then took Cheng Guang to the side. Sit down at the pavilion.
Cheng Zhihai poured Cheng Guang a cup of hot tea and asked, "Guang'er, what's wrong?"
Cheng Guang did not drink tea, but stared at Cheng Zhihai's face and said, "Dad, I may have discovered where the demon clan smuggled over from."
"The story behind this matter is not that simple. It may have something to do with the man in black robe, that is, the missing prince."
As soon as Cheng Guang said these words, Cheng Zhihai's expression changed.
He knew that the previous incidents of demon clan smuggling occurred frequently, and the purpose was to lure him out of Kyoto so that the people behind them could assassinate Cheng Guang.
But they didn't succeed that time.
Later, the martial arts competition between Wei and Zhou was disrupted. For a while, he didn't have time to deal with the demon clan's smuggling. He planned to wait until these recent things were over, then go and find out how the demon clan was and where it came from. Came here smuggled in.
But later, in these things, the figure of missing the prince appeared again.
He is now thinking with all his heart about how to find out where the missing prince is and where he is hiding.
For a moment, it felt like walking into a maze and falling into a dead end.
Now that Cheng Guang mentioned it, he suddenly woke up.
Yes, the person who assassinated Guang'er earlier and the person who disrupted the martial arts competition between Wei and Zhou this time were both from the same group of people.
So that means...
The frequent smuggling incidents of monsters in the past have a lot to do with missing the prince and those men in black robes.
Thinking back to the information about missing the prince that he had been reading these past few days, Cheng Zhihai had a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he had caught something, but it seemed that he had caught nothing.
Anyway.
These smuggled monsters are definitely inseparable from missing the prince.
Cheng Zhihai had already thought about it, and immediately looked at Cheng Guang, "Guang'er, where did you find the place where the demon clan smuggled in?"
When Cheng Guang saw that Cheng Zhihai was interested, he was no longer in a hurry. He picked up the tea, took a sip and said, "In the canal!"
"Canal?" When Cheng Zhihai heard the word "canal" from Cheng Guang's mouth, he couldn't help but frown slightly.It seemed that the word "canal" mentioned by Cheng Guang suddenly touched his blind spot of knowledge.
In the past, although he had not started to investigate the demon clan's affairs, some of his subordinates would still investigate.
only……
No one has ever discovered that the place where the demon clan sneaks across is in the canal.
After all, the places where monsters appear and attack people are quite far away from the canal.
Could it be that they, the demon clan, deliberately walked a long way along the canal to prevent the lamp bearer from connecting them to the canal?
Think about it again, although the places where the monsters appeared are far away from the canal, there are tributaries of the canal passing nearby.
Although the canal is huge and has many tributaries, most people would not associate the appearance of the demon clan with the tributaries of the canal.
But when Cheng Guang reminded him, Cheng Zhihai realized something was wrong.
If two things happened at the same time, and there were canal tributaries next to the place where the demon clan appeared, it would still be an accident.
But if there are many things going on, it is unlikely to be an accident.
Cheng Zhihai thought carefully and tapped the table with one hand, which was inexplicably similar to Cheng Guang's appearance when he was thinking.
Cheng Zhihai is not stupid. On the contrary, people who can master the lantern division are not ordinary smart.
The demon clan was not found before, but he just didn't pay attention to it. Now that he paid attention, and after Cheng Guang reminded him, he immediately realized that the place where the demon clan smuggled in was most likely related to the canal.
"Have you found the distance?" Cheng Zhihai looked at Cheng Guang and asked softly.
Cheng Guang nodded, "The approximate range has been determined."
Hearing what Cheng Guang said, Cheng Zhihai couldn't help but take a breath and look in amazement.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Guang had actually found the specific location.
Although he didn't know what methods the demons used to sneak across, they were extremely concealed. Even if Cheng Guang knew that the demons were hiding in the canal, he wanted to find out the specific location of the demons. It's not that easy either.
Cheng Zhihai just thought about it carefully and figured out where Cheng Guang guessed the general scope of the demon clan's smuggling.
Even so, he was still shocked by Cheng Guang's actions.
It’s not like no one in the Lantern Department is investigating the demon clan’s smuggling, but the results are not very good.
Cheng Zhihai really didn't expect that Cheng Guang could achieve such an achievement in just one week after joining the lamp holding department.
If the general range Cheng Guang mentioned is really the location where the demon clan sneaked in, this would be a great achievement.
Even if he doesn't pave the way for Cheng Guang, Cheng Guang can be directly promoted to a white light agent with just this achievement.
No matter how hard you work, if you can still dig out clues about missing the prince from the demon clan's smuggling incident, it is not impossible to be directly promoted to a silver lantern agent, or even a golden lantern agent.
Cheng Zhihai sighed in his heart, and he couldn't help but get excited as his mood was rippling.
"where?"
Cheng Zhihai asked.
Cheng Guang took out the map he had prepared in advance and spread it out on the stone table. Then he pointed at a location on the canal on the map and drew a circle.
"It's here."
"Hey, here?" Cheng Zhihai looked at the location with surprise.
It's not that the location pointed by Cheng Guang is too far away, but...
So positive.
The location of this canal is very close to Heming Island and Kyoto. He has even passed by the canals in this area several times unintentionally.
but……
They didn't realize there was any mystery hidden under the canal.
Nothing was found.
If Cheng Guang hadn't mentioned it at this time, he probably wouldn't have realized that there was something hidden in this canal.
It was even more unexpected that the place where the demon tribe smuggled out was so openly hidden under their noses in Kyoto.
Is this darkness under the light?
Cheng Zhihai groped his chin and his face turned ugly.
He felt that his lampmaster had been greatly insulted for no reason.
The people behind this demon clan's smuggling are extremely confident. They are confident that they will not be discovered by the people who hold the lamp, and they are even more confident that they can hide it from the lamp owner and the powerful people in Kyoto.
Even the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty could hide it from them.
Why? ?
Cheng Zhihai just wanted to ask, why is the person behind this demon clan so confident?
Even if this matter is related to Missing the Prince, Missing the Prince is not a particularly powerful practitioner. How can he be confident that the demon clan is hiding within a hundred miles from Kyoto without being discovered by countless powerful people?
Could it be that behind this, more than just missing the prince was involved?
The missing prince not only hooked up with the demon clan, but even hooked up with the demon emperor of the demon clan? ?
Cheng Zhihai felt his scalp numb when he thought of this.
He quickly turned his attention to Cheng Guang, stared at Cheng Guang, and clasped Cheng Guang's arm with one hand.
"Guang'er, you didn't take the initiative to explore, did you? That kind of place is not something you can mess with!"
Cheng Guang shook his head, "I didn't go to investigate. I just discovered the general range of the opponent and didn't go deeper."
Cheng Zhihai couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Cheng Guang said.
In fact, he was also concerned about chaos. If Cheng Guang took the initiative to investigate, those monsters hiding under the canal would not let Cheng Guang go easily.
If that time comes, I'm afraid it won't be Cheng Guang who comes to report the matter to him on his own initiative, but he will find out about it on his own initiative after discovering that Cheng Guang is missing.
Cheng Zhihai frowned and thought.
Missing the relationship between the prince and the demon clan, the demon clan emperor may still be involved. They were able to hide under the canal and have not left yet. Is the purpose just to lure him away from Kyoto so that they can assassinate Cheng Guang?
Perhaps this is part of their purpose, but it is definitely not the ultimate purpose of missing the prince.
What is their purpose? ?
Many doubts and mysteries shrouded Cheng Zhihai's heart at this time.
He couldn't figure out for a moment what the Missing Prince and the demon clan behind him wanted to do, or in other words, what did they want to do next?
First, he assassinated his own Guang'er, and then disrupted the martial arts competition between the Zhou Dynasty and Wei Dynasty. The purpose was to disrupt the Zhou Dynasty and cause chaos in the Zhou Dynasty.
Is there anything else that is particularly important to Dazhou next? ?
Thinking like this, a word suddenly entered Cheng Zhihai's mind.
Royal Festival...
Missing the prince, the next step is to take action at the royal ceremony.
It was also for this reason that they hid the smuggling port in the canal, hidden under the canal so close to Kyoto...
Cheng Zhihai's scalp trembled when he thought of this. There were demon clans and demon emperors involved, and they were going to disrupt the royal ceremony. By then, the ban might not be able to play a big role.
If demons attack during the royal ceremony, practitioners with strong cultivation might be fine, but other people without much cultivation strength, such as Wu Yuemei and others, may not be able to escape.
A large number of people died, and Dazhou was really in chaos!
Cheng Zhihai thought of this and had no intention of going back to the hospital to continue being affectionate with Wu Yuemei for a while.
Although the whereabouts of Prince Miss has not yet been found, he already knows what Prince Miss will do next.
He had to prepare early.
Cheng Zhihai left quickly.
Cheng Guang sat in the pavilion, slowly took a sip of tea, and sat in the pavilion observing the moonlight.
The cool moonlight scattered from the sky.
There are no clouds in the sky, and the moonlight can fall directly without any obstruction, covering the earth with a silver-white veil.
"With the solution of the demon clan's smuggling issue, the plan to miss the prince will be affected to a certain extent. At least the chaos that will occur during the royal ceremony will be smaller. It's just that it's not that easy to completely find out the prince."
"If we go directly to visit King Nanming and arrest him by force, it would be fine if it can be proven that he misses the prince. But if he has some way to hide his identity, there is no way to prove his identity as he misses the prince. I'm afraid There is no way to end it.”
"The officials in the imperial court are extremely afraid of the lamp-holder. Now if the lamp-holder extends his hand directly to the royal family, it can be said that he will be criticized by all the officials."
Cheng Guang thought about how he should find a better way to contact King Nanming first to see if there was any chance or any evidence to directly identify that King Nanming missed the prince.
If there is still no way, Cheng Guang estimates that he can only wait until the royal ceremony to see if King Nanming will leak any chicken feet.
Cheng Guang sat in the pavilion and thought for a while, then got up and went back to Wanxiang Garden, washed briefly, didn't eat anything, and got ready to sleep.
In the past few days, he had not slept well in order to check where the monsters were smuggling in the canal.
Now that most of the matter has been resolved, the rest can be left to Cheng Zhihai, and there is no need for him to do anything more.
When Cheng Guang gradually fell asleep.
Cheng Zhihai's side was no longer peaceful.
He knew that there might be demon clans and demon emperors involved in the canal, and he couldn't sit still. If he rashly took the lamp bearer Qian Siyuan and Li Zhengyang there, he might not be able to suppress it. Live in the Demon Emperor.
God must be asked to take action.
And there are only two or three people in the heaven-human realm in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The only heavenly being in Kyoto is the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty.
Even if Cheng Zhihai didn't really want to alarm the Emperor of Zhou, he was no longer allowed to make the decision on this matter.
The Emperor of Zhou must be asked to try it himself.
Cheng Zhihai went to the palace overnight, asked to see Emperor Zhou, and pulled Emperor Zhou up from the dragon bed.
The Emperor Zhou's clothes were disheveled, and there were some red lip marks on his face. His face was dark, and he felt as if his interest had been disturbed.
After briefly adjusting his clothes, he looked at Cheng Zhihai who pulled him up from the dragon bed with a gloomy expression.
"Zhihai, why are you here looking for me in the palace if you are not staying with Yuemei at home this late at night?"
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty was puzzled!
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty was already a little suspicious at this time, whether Cheng Zhihai hated himself for wanting to separate the lamp holder from his hands, so he stayed up in the middle of the night and came here to disturb his interest.
However, Cheng Zhihai's cautious expression still made him give up the idea, but he couldn't think of anything else that could make Cheng Zhihai ignore the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers, break into the royal harem directly, and find him directly.
Cheng Zhihai didn't care about Emperor Zhou's expression and saluted directly: "Your Majesty, the matter about the demon clan has been found out!"
After Cheng Zhihai finished speaking, he added, "Guang'er found it!"
He looked proud as he spoke.
Emperor Zhou was speechless.
Have you found out what happened to the demon clan?
Are they those demon clans that smuggled in not long ago?
Those monsters are just small fishes and shrimps. For the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, it makes no difference whether he solves them earlier or later. Seeing Cheng Zhihai's cautious look, he thought he missed the prince and found him.
Emperor Zhou yawned, his interest was waning, and he was about to wave Cheng Zhihai away.
I heard Cheng Zhihai say again: "Your Majesty, the demon clan's smuggling is not that simple this time. The missing prince is involved in it. There may be the shadow of the demon emperor behind this demon clan's smuggling."
As soon as Cheng Zhihai said these words, Emperor Zhou's expression began to change.
Behind the smuggling incident of the demon tribe, is there any involvement of the missing prince? ?
Miss the prince hooking up with the demon clan? ?
The Emperor of Zhou pondered, feeling that although this was ridiculous, it was not impossible.
It's really possible to do anything to miss the prince.
However, the only thing that he didn't expect was that the Demon Emperor was actually involved behind this incident.
What is the Demon Emperor?
He is a powerful person in the demon clan who is comparable to the heaven and human realm.
Generally speaking, a strong man of this level would not take action easily.
But this time, there was actually a shadow of the Demon Emperor involved.
No matter what the demon emperor thinks, as long as he appears in his territory, he will definitely be uneasy.
It must be solved!
Otherwise, we don’t know what hidden dangers may be buried.
When Emperor Zhou heard this, he no longer had any tender thoughts about going back to bed with his concubines, so he just asked with a calm face.
"where?"
Cheng Zhihai took out a map, pointed to the location on the map, and said, "Here."
Emperor Zhou nodded slightly, said nothing, changed his clothes, and stepped out immediately.
"Let's go and have a look."
Cheng Zhihai followed closely behind.
At the same time, in Kyoto, figures of all sizes rose into the sky, rushing toward the canal basin with heavy pressure.
There was no longer peace among the lamp-bearing departments. Countless lamp-bearing agents were urgently summoned, riding on horseback, and rushed towards the canal basin.
For a time, the situation changed.
Many powerful families in Kyoto, including princes and ministers, were awakened by this movement.
Not even bothering to put on his clothes, he hurriedly ran out of the house and looked up at the sky.
"What happened here?"
“It’s okay if the people in charge of the lamp department are dispatched, but His Majesty is also dispatched?”
"Which high-ranking official is treason? No, even if a high-ranking official is treason, there won't be such a big movement. Your Majesty will go out in person..."
"Look, the direction your Majesty and the lamp bearer left seems to be the canal..."
“What are they doing in the canal???”
"Don't make it!"
Everyone was extremely confused at this moment.
And among the team of the lamp keeper and his team.
Chen Qing and the other four also followed a team of police officers from the Light Division to the canal basin. At this moment, for some reason, they all felt that this sudden emergency call had a lot to do with Prince Du.
The prince had been investigating the case for only a few days before such a big commotion occurred.
It's hard to say that it has nothing to do with the prince.
Coincidentally, Xu Hongfei was also beside Chen Qing and the other four.
So they all set their sights on Xu Hongfei.
"Xu Hongfei, what is the purpose of this emergency call? Does it have something to do with the crown prince?"
Chen Qing asked a question that everyone wanted to know.
Not only Chen Qing knew that Xu Hongfei had been following the prince to investigate the case recently.
Although they didn't know what they were checking, they all thought that Xu Hongfei was lucky.
Being able to be by the Crown Prince's side, even if you don't do anything, just hold the Crown Prince's thigh tightly, is a great opportunity.
They actually didn't know that Chen Qing and the four of them also had this huge opportunity at the beginning, but they gave it up.
Every time they think about this, Chen Qing and the others almost feel regretful.
But there is no turning back.
All I could do was break the tooth into pieces and swallow it in my stomach.
In the face of everyone's doubts, Xu Hongfei showed a mysterious smile on his face, "It can't be said, it can't be said."
"You still underestimate the prince's energy."
Xu Hongfei has been following Cheng Guang for a long time, and he already has the potential to be a Mystery Man.
Hearing what Xu Hongfei said, the people around him gritted their teeth and planned to kill Xu Hongfei.
But not yet waiting for them to say anything.
He had already left Kyoto, and heard the shouts of senior silver and gold detectives.
"quiet!"
Everyone remained silent and silently ran towards the canal.
…………
(End of this chapter)
After the dark clouds passed, the evening sky seemed to become clearer. It was not dark, but had a clear blue color.
The Senli Canal outside Kyoto was tinged with a thin layer of light under the setting sun.
Cheng Guang glanced at the dim light on the canal, unable to see through the evil spirits hidden in the canal, so he took Lin Cheng, Xu Hongfei and his party back to the Zhenguo Palace.
There was a big difference in the entrance hall of Zhenguogong Mansion this evening.
On weekdays, there were only two guards in front of the door, but today there were four more.
Moreover, these four people are obviously not the guards of the Zhenguo Palace, but look like veterans who have come off the battlefield. Although they are dressed in casual clothes and black clothes, they all have a cleaver on their backs, even though they are separated from each other. A few feet away, Cheng Guang could feel the cold air emanating from the swords on their backs.
"These are all brave soldiers who survived the battlefield. Their martial arts training is also extraordinary. Each one of them is an extremely strong and brave man."
Cheng Guang knew that these guards were all generals who had survived the battlefield, and they were most likely under the command of Duke Zhen Guo Cheng Shiyuan. The arrival of these guards did not prove that Duke Zhen Guo Cheng Shiyuan was back?
Cheng Guang thought for a while and felt that it was unlikely. Generally speaking, Zhen Guogong stayed near the border all year round and would not leave the border unless there were special circumstances.
Then why are these old soldiers here?
Are there other reasons?
Cheng Guang couldn't understand, and he didn't care about it. At the moment, his thoughts were all on the demon clan and the missing prince. The situation of these old soldiers was irrelevant.
Cheng Guang entered the entrance hall, and the guards looked at Cheng Guang with a sharp gaze, as if they were testing and observing. Facing the guards' stern gazes, Cheng Guang did not feel timid at all, but looked at each other calmly. go back.
These guards didn't look like their own people, and they dared to look at him like this.
As Cheng Guang was thinking this, the eyes of the four old soldiers in front of him suddenly relaxed, with appreciative glances on their faces, and their bodies bent slightly with a little respect.
"Your Majesty, General Qin has arrived at the mansion to discuss the wedding date with your Majesty."
As the old soldier said this, he turned aside respectfully and invited Cheng Guang to enter the mansion.
General Qin?
wedding date?
Were these old soldiers brought here by General Qin?
Cheng Guang suddenly thought of something. He remembered the marriage that his parents had arranged for him before, that big Bingtuozi named Qin Yanqiu.
so……
Is this General Qin my future father-in-law?
And these old soldiers in front of me are the people brought here by General Qin?
Cheng Guang's mind was filled with thoughts, and he figured out these things in an instant.
General Qin came over to discuss the wedding date with Cheng Zhihai and the others. He thought that the marriage was certain and had been decided.
Cheng Guang didn't feel the need to get involved in this kind of thing. This was the case in this era. Most marriages could be handled by his parents, so he could just wait and get married.
Cheng Guang nodded slightly in response and went straight into the entrance. Several old soldiers who had just looked at Cheng Guang with a scrutinizing gaze also turned slightly sideways and respectfully cleared the way for Cheng Guang.
When Cheng Guang returned to Wanxiang Garden, he saw Qingluan already busy in the side room, seemingly preparing some food for him.
After running around for several days in a row, looking for the whereabouts of the demon clan, I didn't spend more time with Qingluan. However, Qingluan didn't complain about anything. He just silently prepared the meals that Cheng Guang needed when he came back and the things he needed to wash and bathe. Hot water etc.
Cheng Guang's heart felt warm, "Qingluan, don't be busy, usually just ask the servants to bring you some food."
After entering the courtyard, Qingluan got some hot water for him to wash his hands.
Cheng Guang smiled and replied: "I've been away working on cases these days, so you don't need to wait for me to come back. Go to bed early as it's getting late."
Qingluan shook his head stubbornly and said: "The prince has not come back, how can Qingluan sleep first? At least he has to wait for the prince to wash up before Qingluan can feel at ease."
Cheng Guang burst into laughter upon seeing this and didn't know what to say.
Qingluan made a suggestion instead, looking at Cheng Guang with his beautiful eyes.
"Why don't you, Prince, take Qingluan with you when you go out to handle a case?"
When Cheng Guang heard this, he immediately didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What are you talking about? How can I take a woman with me when I go out to handle a case? We are all rough guys, so it is very inconvenient to take a woman with you."
"But after checking for a few days, I have some idea of the location of the demon clan. This demon clan matter should be over soon."
When Qingluan heard this, her Jiaoyan was obviously stunned. She tilted her head and looked at Cheng Guang, and asked curiously: "Hey, Your Majesty, you have been checking the demon clan these days. I thought you were..." I’m looking for the missing prince.”
"What does the investigation of those demon clans who have smuggled in have to do with missing the prince?"
"Does the Crown Prince want to find Bai Shuxuan?"
Cheng Guang smiled and said, "You don't understand this."
Qingluan softly said "hmm" and looked at Cheng Guang with beautiful eyes, as if she wanted to wait for Cheng Guang to explain to her and clear up her confusion.
However, Cheng Guang lost the interest in answering and resumed his role as the Mystery Man.
Qingluan was so angry that she puffed up her mouth and pursed her red lips. She wanted to squeeze Cheng Guang's waist with her little hands, but in the end she didn't dare, so she could only secretly sulk.
Cheng Guang burst out laughing when he saw this. Just when he was about to say something, Butler Wang's voice came from outside the house.
"Your Majesty, I asked you to go to the main hall. General Qin said that he wants to see you, Your Majesty."
Qingluan was obviously startled when Butler Wang's voice came, but he quickly reacted and pushed Cheng Guang to stand up.
"Oh, Your Majesty, I almost forgot, General Qin came here early this morning, but Your Majesty, you were away handling the case at the time, so you didn't know yet."
"Then General Qin should have made a special trip to discuss your prince's marriage with the family master. He has been waiting for you all day."
"Hurry up and see General Qin. It will not be good if the time is delayed."
Qingluan said, pushing Cheng Guang out.
Cheng Guang was helpless, thinking that his butt was not yet hot.
He knew that General Qin was still in the mansion, but he didn't expect that he had come here early in the morning. The reason why he hadn't left yet was simply because he wanted to meet his future son-in-law.
And as soon as he returned home, the other party sent someone over to ask him to come over.
Qingluan helped Cheng Guang tidy up his clothes. He didn't have time to change out of the lantern holder's clothes, so he simply wore them and went to see the General Qin.
The lamp bearer's clothes are not ugly either, and there is nothing rude about wearing them when meeting guests.
After leaving the courtyard gate, Cheng Guang went straight to the main hall.
At this time, many people were already sitting in the Youtang Hall of the Zhenguogong Mansion and the guest courtyard.
"General Qin, please wait a moment. The child Guang'er has been summoned and will be here soon."
Wu Yuemei sat at the top and spoke softly.
Beside Wu Yuemei, Cheng Zhihai also smiled and said to General Qin on the side: "Speaking of which, Qin Beifeng, this is your first time meeting my family Guang'er, right?"
"My Guang'er has been in the limelight recently, and I don't know if you have heard of it. In the martial arts competition between the two countries of Wei and Zhou, my Guang'er was much more conspicuous than some of the participating martial arts students. "
Cheng Zhihai boasted about Cheng Guang's achievements without blushing.
In the hall, the middle-aged man called General Qin, also known as Qin Beifeng, nodded from time to time.
He didn't pay attention to Cheng Zhihai's words, but looked outside the hall, as if waiting for someone.
When he saw a tall figure approaching outside the hall, his eyes suddenly lit up and he stood up involuntarily and walked towards the person.
"Oh, this is Guang'er. You really have an extraordinary appearance. I don't know how much more handsome you are than your father. When I first saw your portrait, I couldn't believe it. You are the grandson of the old Duke. Who is this? Cheng Zhihai’s son.”
As Qin Beifeng spoke, he looked at Cheng Guang's appearance. When he saw that Cheng Guang's eyes did not shift at all even when he was facing him, his eyes were bright and neither humble nor arrogant, and he immediately felt satisfied.
What made Qin Beifeng even more satisfied was not just Cheng Guang's appearance, but Cheng Guang's temperament.
He was clearly the eldest son of the Duke of Zhen, a figure who stood at the pinnacle of power in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he did not have the temperament of a playboy. Not only did he not look domineering, but he had a gentle smile, like the spring breeze blowing on his face.
Qin Beifeng became even more satisfied when he saw this.
If the eldest son of the Duke of Zhen was so superficial and dandy, even if he had agreed with the old Duke to marry his daughter to his grandson, he would still feel that he had pushed his daughter into a pit of fire.
But now, he already feels that his choice is not too bad.
Qin Beifeng was very enthusiastic. While he was sizing up Cheng Guang, Cheng Guang was also sizing him up.
Qin Beifeng was in his thirties. He was tall and straight, like a straight pine tree, standing on the ground. He was majestic and majestic, and his whole body naturally exuded a majestic and firm temperament.
The clothes are also very simple, with a black and green armor inlaid with golden patterns, and a sword blade stained with light blood hanging from his waist. The light on the sword is still shining with speckled glaze spots in the setting sun.
Extraordinary temperament and amazing strength.
This Qin Beifeng is the same age as Cheng Zhihai, but his cultivation level seems to be much higher than that of Cheng Zhihai...
Cheng Guang looked at Qin Beifeng and felt that this big man could become his father-in-law not only because his daughter was extremely beautiful, but also because this big man himself was a worthy candidate.
"Uncle Qin."
Cheng Guang looked at Qin Beifeng for a while without paying too much attention. If he looked at him any further, it would be a bit rude, so he lowered his head slightly and saluted Qin Beifeng.
Qin Beifeng didn't care much and quickly supported Cheng Guang.
The two chatted for a while, and Qin Beifeng praised Cheng Guang's appearance, while at the same time devaluing Cheng Zhihai's appearance as worthless.
Cheng Zhihai wasn't angry either, and looked on with a smile.
He also felt that his son's appearance was much more handsome than his own.
At the same time, Cheng Guang also praised Qin Beifeng for his majestic temperament and the demeanor of a general.
Cheng Guang's ability to praise others was influenced by many of his colleagues in his previous life. He was much better than some veterans in the imperial court. Qin Beifeng, a general who didn't have many tricks up his sleeve, was praised by Cheng Guang for a while. , then smiled from ear to ear.
Wu Yuemei on the side covered her mouth with one hand, chuckled, and quickly interrupted the two of them.
If they continue to praise each other like this, then there is no need to talk about other things, they can just continue to praise each other like this.
Qin Beifeng stopped, but he still had an unfinished expression on his face. He felt that it was too late to meet Cheng Guang, and he wished he could hold Cheng Guang in his arms and chat for three days and three nights.
"Guang'er, this is your Uncle Qin. He is also a general beside your grandfather. His daughter Qin Yanqiu is your fiancée."
Wu Yuemei said softly at this time: "We have just discussed and decided on the wedding date. We have decided to hold your wedding one month later, that is, after the royal ceremony."
"Before the royal ceremony, it is not easy for our Zhenguo Palace to do anything grand. If it takes away the limelight of the royal ceremony, even if the emperor will not say anything, other people, or many ministers in the court, will still gossip. of."
After Wu Yuemei finished speaking, Cheng Guang also nodded to express his understanding.
Cheng Zhihai smiled and said, "Guang'er, do you have anything to ask about the wedding date?"
"If you think it's too early, you can put it off a little longer. We originally planned to let him and Yanqiu's child meet in advance today, but it's a pity that Yanqiu's child didn't come."
"It's said that the demon clan has been uneasy on the recent battlefield in the realm, so there is nothing we can do about it. General Qin just took the time to come over and discuss the wedding date with us."
Cheng Guang shook his head and said he had no objection.
Qin Yanqiu is considered by the system to be a good candidate for marriage. His qualifications, character and appearance are all extraordinary. He is lucky to be able to marry such a woman. It would not be impossible if the wedding date can be earlier.
Qin Beifeng on the side sighed and frowned, with a lot of helplessness in his eyes.
"Yanqiu's temperament is not like ours at all. Guang'er, if we get married, you should be more considerate of her. If she doesn't come this time, I think the child is too shy. It's not that she doesn't want to come."
Although Qin Beifeng said this and found a reason for his daughter, he still felt embarrassed and his face turned red.
The two families discussed the wedding date. Logically speaking, the woman could come over even if she didn't show her face, but she didn't want to come over.
"It's okay. I also know the temperament of Yanqiu's child. He's cold on the outside but hot on the inside. But he was delayed because of something. He didn't mean to neglect us."
Wu Yuemei didn't think this matter was a big problem. Seeing that Qin Beifeng felt a little ashamed for a moment, she took the initiative to comfort him.
"She doesn't dare. If she dares to neglect you, I will break her legs!"
Qin Beifeng raised his eyebrows and said immediately.
Wu Yuemei laughed and shook her head: "That's not necessary. She is the future daughter-in-law of our Zhenguo Palace. We can't let you hurt her."
Cheng Zhihai laughed loudly: "Okay, Qin Beifeng, I don't know what kind of temper you are? You can't wait to protect that girl Yanqiu by your side every day. She's so precious. If you can break her legs, then it's really It’s the sun rising from the west.”
Qin Beifeng was exposed, but he didn't care and kept silent with a smile.
He didn't really want to break Qin Yanqiu's legs, he just wanted to let Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei know his attitude.
Everyone chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting dark, Qin Beifeng got up and left.
Before leaving, Qin Beifeng seemed to have thought of something again and looked at Cheng Zhihai and said, "You seem to have encountered some difficulties recently?"
"Can we solve the problem of missing the prince?"
"If you need my help, just ask."
When Cheng Zhihai heard this, he was so angry that he laughed and pretended to take action.
"Hey! You Qin Beifeng, I am the best at investigating people and solving cases. How can you, a reckless man who only knows how to fight, help me? Stop messing around."
Qin Beifeng smiled and was not angry, "It's best if you don't end up being directly deposed by the emperor and stay at home without having to do anything."
"But, having said that, this is also a good thing. It is also a good thing to take care of my future grandchildren in the future."
When Cheng Zhihai heard this, his face turned dark and he didn't want to speak anymore.
Qin Beifeng smiled, thought for a moment, looked at Cheng Guang, took out a token from his arms, and handed it to Cheng Guang.
"Your Majesty, this token can contact Yanqiu at any time, even if they are thousands of miles apart. The two of you will get along more with each other these days. When the wedding day comes, there will be no separation."
After saying that, Qin Beifeng turned around and went out, about to leave.
Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei took Cheng Guang out to see him off.
Qin Beifeng acted vigorously and resolutely. This time he came back to Kyoto just to discuss the wedding date with the Duke of Zhenguo. As soon as the matter was over, he had to rush back to the battlefield.
Qin Beifeng plays a pivotal role in the battlefield of the realm and even in the entire Northern Expeditionary Army. Although the entire Northern Expeditionary Army cannot function without him, it will at least be affected to some extent.
Cheng Guang guessed that he married Qin Yanqiu this time perhaps because of Qin Yanqiu's special status in the Northern Expedition and her father Qin Beifeng's special status in the Northern Expedition.
In the future, if Cheng Guang wants to inherit a million-strong Northern Expeditionary Army, even if he has no strength, with the help of his father-in-law Qin Beifeng, it will not be too difficult to inherit.
Qin Beifeng left quickly, taking several old soldiers with him.
Riding on a strange beast that looked like black wind, it soared into the sky and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
Even if this cultivation level is not yet at the Heavenly and Human Realm, it is still at the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm. It may be just a little short of the Heavenly Human Realm.
If Qin Beifeng had not served in the Northern Expeditionary Army, he would have been at least a minister of the Ministry of War in the imperial court based on his advanced cultivation.
After Qin Beifeng left, Cheng Guang followed Wu Yuemei and Cheng Zhihai back home.
Wu Yuemei was still sighing, "It's a pity that Yanqiu's child didn't come over. Otherwise, I really wanted to see that child. I haven't seen her in person for many years."
Cheng Zhihai didn't care about this. Instead, he was rubbing his chin. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but he just nodded to Wu Yuemei casually.
The two of them chatted for a while. When they were about to return to the small courtyard, Cheng Guang, who had been following them, called out to Cheng Zhihai.
Cheng Zhihai turned his head and looked at Cheng Guang with a puzzled look on his face, "Guang'er, why are you still following us? Do you want to sleep with your parents? How old are you?"
As he said that, Cheng Zhihai showed a look of disgust, as if he was a brat, don't disturb your parents' good deeds.
Inexplicably, it feels like their own children are accidents, and the two of them are truly in love.
Cheng Guang didn't care and waved to Cheng Zhihai, "Dad, I have something to do."
When Cheng Zhihai heard what Cheng Guang said and looked at Cheng Guang's rather cautious look, he also had some doubts in his heart. He said a few words to Wu Yuemei and asked Wu Yuemei to go back to the room first, then took Cheng Guang to the side. Sit down at the pavilion.
Cheng Zhihai poured Cheng Guang a cup of hot tea and asked, "Guang'er, what's wrong?"
Cheng Guang did not drink tea, but stared at Cheng Zhihai's face and said, "Dad, I may have discovered where the demon clan smuggled over from."
"The story behind this matter is not that simple. It may have something to do with the man in black robe, that is, the missing prince."
As soon as Cheng Guang said these words, Cheng Zhihai's expression changed.
He knew that the previous incidents of demon clan smuggling occurred frequently, and the purpose was to lure him out of Kyoto so that the people behind them could assassinate Cheng Guang.
But they didn't succeed that time.
Later, the martial arts competition between Wei and Zhou was disrupted. For a while, he didn't have time to deal with the demon clan's smuggling. He planned to wait until these recent things were over, then go and find out how the demon clan was and where it came from. Came here smuggled in.
But later, in these things, the figure of missing the prince appeared again.
He is now thinking with all his heart about how to find out where the missing prince is and where he is hiding.
For a moment, it felt like walking into a maze and falling into a dead end.
Now that Cheng Guang mentioned it, he suddenly woke up.
Yes, the person who assassinated Guang'er earlier and the person who disrupted the martial arts competition between Wei and Zhou this time were both from the same group of people.
So that means...
The frequent smuggling incidents of monsters in the past have a lot to do with missing the prince and those men in black robes.
Thinking back to the information about missing the prince that he had been reading these past few days, Cheng Zhihai had a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he had caught something, but it seemed that he had caught nothing.
Anyway.
These smuggled monsters are definitely inseparable from missing the prince.
Cheng Zhihai had already thought about it, and immediately looked at Cheng Guang, "Guang'er, where did you find the place where the demon clan smuggled in?"
When Cheng Guang saw that Cheng Zhihai was interested, he was no longer in a hurry. He picked up the tea, took a sip and said, "In the canal!"
"Canal?" When Cheng Zhihai heard the word "canal" from Cheng Guang's mouth, he couldn't help but frown slightly.It seemed that the word "canal" mentioned by Cheng Guang suddenly touched his blind spot of knowledge.
In the past, although he had not started to investigate the demon clan's affairs, some of his subordinates would still investigate.
only……
No one has ever discovered that the place where the demon clan sneaks across is in the canal.
After all, the places where monsters appear and attack people are quite far away from the canal.
Could it be that they, the demon clan, deliberately walked a long way along the canal to prevent the lamp bearer from connecting them to the canal?
Think about it again, although the places where the monsters appeared are far away from the canal, there are tributaries of the canal passing nearby.
Although the canal is huge and has many tributaries, most people would not associate the appearance of the demon clan with the tributaries of the canal.
But when Cheng Guang reminded him, Cheng Zhihai realized something was wrong.
If two things happened at the same time, and there were canal tributaries next to the place where the demon clan appeared, it would still be an accident.
But if there are many things going on, it is unlikely to be an accident.
Cheng Zhihai thought carefully and tapped the table with one hand, which was inexplicably similar to Cheng Guang's appearance when he was thinking.
Cheng Zhihai is not stupid. On the contrary, people who can master the lantern division are not ordinary smart.
The demon clan was not found before, but he just didn't pay attention to it. Now that he paid attention, and after Cheng Guang reminded him, he immediately realized that the place where the demon clan smuggled in was most likely related to the canal.
"Have you found the distance?" Cheng Zhihai looked at Cheng Guang and asked softly.
Cheng Guang nodded, "The approximate range has been determined."
Hearing what Cheng Guang said, Cheng Zhihai couldn't help but take a breath and look in amazement.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Guang had actually found the specific location.
Although he didn't know what methods the demons used to sneak across, they were extremely concealed. Even if Cheng Guang knew that the demons were hiding in the canal, he wanted to find out the specific location of the demons. It's not that easy either.
Cheng Zhihai just thought about it carefully and figured out where Cheng Guang guessed the general scope of the demon clan's smuggling.
Even so, he was still shocked by Cheng Guang's actions.
It’s not like no one in the Lantern Department is investigating the demon clan’s smuggling, but the results are not very good.
Cheng Zhihai really didn't expect that Cheng Guang could achieve such an achievement in just one week after joining the lamp holding department.
If the general range Cheng Guang mentioned is really the location where the demon clan sneaked in, this would be a great achievement.
Even if he doesn't pave the way for Cheng Guang, Cheng Guang can be directly promoted to a white light agent with just this achievement.
No matter how hard you work, if you can still dig out clues about missing the prince from the demon clan's smuggling incident, it is not impossible to be directly promoted to a silver lantern agent, or even a golden lantern agent.
Cheng Zhihai sighed in his heart, and he couldn't help but get excited as his mood was rippling.
"where?"
Cheng Zhihai asked.
Cheng Guang took out the map he had prepared in advance and spread it out on the stone table. Then he pointed at a location on the canal on the map and drew a circle.
"It's here."
"Hey, here?" Cheng Zhihai looked at the location with surprise.
It's not that the location pointed by Cheng Guang is too far away, but...
So positive.
The location of this canal is very close to Heming Island and Kyoto. He has even passed by the canals in this area several times unintentionally.
but……
They didn't realize there was any mystery hidden under the canal.
Nothing was found.
If Cheng Guang hadn't mentioned it at this time, he probably wouldn't have realized that there was something hidden in this canal.
It was even more unexpected that the place where the demon tribe smuggled out was so openly hidden under their noses in Kyoto.
Is this darkness under the light?
Cheng Zhihai groped his chin and his face turned ugly.
He felt that his lampmaster had been greatly insulted for no reason.
The people behind this demon clan's smuggling are extremely confident. They are confident that they will not be discovered by the people who hold the lamp, and they are even more confident that they can hide it from the lamp owner and the powerful people in Kyoto.
Even the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty could hide it from them.
Why? ?
Cheng Zhihai just wanted to ask, why is the person behind this demon clan so confident?
Even if this matter is related to Missing the Prince, Missing the Prince is not a particularly powerful practitioner. How can he be confident that the demon clan is hiding within a hundred miles from Kyoto without being discovered by countless powerful people?
Could it be that behind this, more than just missing the prince was involved?
The missing prince not only hooked up with the demon clan, but even hooked up with the demon emperor of the demon clan? ?
Cheng Zhihai felt his scalp numb when he thought of this.
He quickly turned his attention to Cheng Guang, stared at Cheng Guang, and clasped Cheng Guang's arm with one hand.
"Guang'er, you didn't take the initiative to explore, did you? That kind of place is not something you can mess with!"
Cheng Guang shook his head, "I didn't go to investigate. I just discovered the general range of the opponent and didn't go deeper."
Cheng Zhihai couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Cheng Guang said.
In fact, he was also concerned about chaos. If Cheng Guang took the initiative to investigate, those monsters hiding under the canal would not let Cheng Guang go easily.
If that time comes, I'm afraid it won't be Cheng Guang who comes to report the matter to him on his own initiative, but he will find out about it on his own initiative after discovering that Cheng Guang is missing.
Cheng Zhihai frowned and thought.
Missing the relationship between the prince and the demon clan, the demon clan emperor may still be involved. They were able to hide under the canal and have not left yet. Is the purpose just to lure him away from Kyoto so that they can assassinate Cheng Guang?
Perhaps this is part of their purpose, but it is definitely not the ultimate purpose of missing the prince.
What is their purpose? ?
Many doubts and mysteries shrouded Cheng Zhihai's heart at this time.
He couldn't figure out for a moment what the Missing Prince and the demon clan behind him wanted to do, or in other words, what did they want to do next?
First, he assassinated his own Guang'er, and then disrupted the martial arts competition between the Zhou Dynasty and Wei Dynasty. The purpose was to disrupt the Zhou Dynasty and cause chaos in the Zhou Dynasty.
Is there anything else that is particularly important to Dazhou next? ?
Thinking like this, a word suddenly entered Cheng Zhihai's mind.
Royal Festival...
Missing the prince, the next step is to take action at the royal ceremony.
It was also for this reason that they hid the smuggling port in the canal, hidden under the canal so close to Kyoto...
Cheng Zhihai's scalp trembled when he thought of this. There were demon clans and demon emperors involved, and they were going to disrupt the royal ceremony. By then, the ban might not be able to play a big role.
If demons attack during the royal ceremony, practitioners with strong cultivation might be fine, but other people without much cultivation strength, such as Wu Yuemei and others, may not be able to escape.
A large number of people died, and Dazhou was really in chaos!
Cheng Zhihai thought of this and had no intention of going back to the hospital to continue being affectionate with Wu Yuemei for a while.
Although the whereabouts of Prince Miss has not yet been found, he already knows what Prince Miss will do next.
He had to prepare early.
Cheng Zhihai left quickly.
Cheng Guang sat in the pavilion, slowly took a sip of tea, and sat in the pavilion observing the moonlight.
The cool moonlight scattered from the sky.
There are no clouds in the sky, and the moonlight can fall directly without any obstruction, covering the earth with a silver-white veil.
"With the solution of the demon clan's smuggling issue, the plan to miss the prince will be affected to a certain extent. At least the chaos that will occur during the royal ceremony will be smaller. It's just that it's not that easy to completely find out the prince."
"If we go directly to visit King Nanming and arrest him by force, it would be fine if it can be proven that he misses the prince. But if he has some way to hide his identity, there is no way to prove his identity as he misses the prince. I'm afraid There is no way to end it.”
"The officials in the imperial court are extremely afraid of the lamp-holder. Now if the lamp-holder extends his hand directly to the royal family, it can be said that he will be criticized by all the officials."
Cheng Guang thought about how he should find a better way to contact King Nanming first to see if there was any chance or any evidence to directly identify that King Nanming missed the prince.
If there is still no way, Cheng Guang estimates that he can only wait until the royal ceremony to see if King Nanming will leak any chicken feet.
Cheng Guang sat in the pavilion and thought for a while, then got up and went back to Wanxiang Garden, washed briefly, didn't eat anything, and got ready to sleep.
In the past few days, he had not slept well in order to check where the monsters were smuggling in the canal.
Now that most of the matter has been resolved, the rest can be left to Cheng Zhihai, and there is no need for him to do anything more.
When Cheng Guang gradually fell asleep.
Cheng Zhihai's side was no longer peaceful.
He knew that there might be demon clans and demon emperors involved in the canal, and he couldn't sit still. If he rashly took the lamp bearer Qian Siyuan and Li Zhengyang there, he might not be able to suppress it. Live in the Demon Emperor.
God must be asked to take action.
And there are only two or three people in the heaven-human realm in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The only heavenly being in Kyoto is the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty.
Even if Cheng Zhihai didn't really want to alarm the Emperor of Zhou, he was no longer allowed to make the decision on this matter.
The Emperor of Zhou must be asked to try it himself.
Cheng Zhihai went to the palace overnight, asked to see Emperor Zhou, and pulled Emperor Zhou up from the dragon bed.
The Emperor Zhou's clothes were disheveled, and there were some red lip marks on his face. His face was dark, and he felt as if his interest had been disturbed.
After briefly adjusting his clothes, he looked at Cheng Zhihai who pulled him up from the dragon bed with a gloomy expression.
"Zhihai, why are you here looking for me in the palace if you are not staying with Yuemei at home this late at night?"
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty was puzzled!
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty was already a little suspicious at this time, whether Cheng Zhihai hated himself for wanting to separate the lamp holder from his hands, so he stayed up in the middle of the night and came here to disturb his interest.
However, Cheng Zhihai's cautious expression still made him give up the idea, but he couldn't think of anything else that could make Cheng Zhihai ignore the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers, break into the royal harem directly, and find him directly.
Cheng Zhihai didn't care about Emperor Zhou's expression and saluted directly: "Your Majesty, the matter about the demon clan has been found out!"
After Cheng Zhihai finished speaking, he added, "Guang'er found it!"
He looked proud as he spoke.
Emperor Zhou was speechless.
Have you found out what happened to the demon clan?
Are they those demon clans that smuggled in not long ago?
Those monsters are just small fishes and shrimps. For the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, it makes no difference whether he solves them earlier or later. Seeing Cheng Zhihai's cautious look, he thought he missed the prince and found him.
Emperor Zhou yawned, his interest was waning, and he was about to wave Cheng Zhihai away.
I heard Cheng Zhihai say again: "Your Majesty, the demon clan's smuggling is not that simple this time. The missing prince is involved in it. There may be the shadow of the demon emperor behind this demon clan's smuggling."
As soon as Cheng Zhihai said these words, Emperor Zhou's expression began to change.
Behind the smuggling incident of the demon tribe, is there any involvement of the missing prince? ?
Miss the prince hooking up with the demon clan? ?
The Emperor of Zhou pondered, feeling that although this was ridiculous, it was not impossible.
It's really possible to do anything to miss the prince.
However, the only thing that he didn't expect was that the Demon Emperor was actually involved behind this incident.
What is the Demon Emperor?
He is a powerful person in the demon clan who is comparable to the heaven and human realm.
Generally speaking, a strong man of this level would not take action easily.
But this time, there was actually a shadow of the Demon Emperor involved.
No matter what the demon emperor thinks, as long as he appears in his territory, he will definitely be uneasy.
It must be solved!
Otherwise, we don’t know what hidden dangers may be buried.
When Emperor Zhou heard this, he no longer had any tender thoughts about going back to bed with his concubines, so he just asked with a calm face.
"where?"
Cheng Zhihai took out a map, pointed to the location on the map, and said, "Here."
Emperor Zhou nodded slightly, said nothing, changed his clothes, and stepped out immediately.
"Let's go and have a look."
Cheng Zhihai followed closely behind.
At the same time, in Kyoto, figures of all sizes rose into the sky, rushing toward the canal basin with heavy pressure.
There was no longer peace among the lamp-bearing departments. Countless lamp-bearing agents were urgently summoned, riding on horseback, and rushed towards the canal basin.
For a time, the situation changed.
Many powerful families in Kyoto, including princes and ministers, were awakened by this movement.
Not even bothering to put on his clothes, he hurriedly ran out of the house and looked up at the sky.
"What happened here?"
“It’s okay if the people in charge of the lamp department are dispatched, but His Majesty is also dispatched?”
"Which high-ranking official is treason? No, even if a high-ranking official is treason, there won't be such a big movement. Your Majesty will go out in person..."
"Look, the direction your Majesty and the lamp bearer left seems to be the canal..."
“What are they doing in the canal???”
"Don't make it!"
Everyone was extremely confused at this moment.
And among the team of the lamp keeper and his team.
Chen Qing and the other four also followed a team of police officers from the Light Division to the canal basin. At this moment, for some reason, they all felt that this sudden emergency call had a lot to do with Prince Du.
The prince had been investigating the case for only a few days before such a big commotion occurred.
It's hard to say that it has nothing to do with the prince.
Coincidentally, Xu Hongfei was also beside Chen Qing and the other four.
So they all set their sights on Xu Hongfei.
"Xu Hongfei, what is the purpose of this emergency call? Does it have something to do with the crown prince?"
Chen Qing asked a question that everyone wanted to know.
Not only Chen Qing knew that Xu Hongfei had been following the prince to investigate the case recently.
Although they didn't know what they were checking, they all thought that Xu Hongfei was lucky.
Being able to be by the Crown Prince's side, even if you don't do anything, just hold the Crown Prince's thigh tightly, is a great opportunity.
They actually didn't know that Chen Qing and the four of them also had this huge opportunity at the beginning, but they gave it up.
Every time they think about this, Chen Qing and the others almost feel regretful.
But there is no turning back.
All I could do was break the tooth into pieces and swallow it in my stomach.
In the face of everyone's doubts, Xu Hongfei showed a mysterious smile on his face, "It can't be said, it can't be said."
"You still underestimate the prince's energy."
Xu Hongfei has been following Cheng Guang for a long time, and he already has the potential to be a Mystery Man.
Hearing what Xu Hongfei said, the people around him gritted their teeth and planned to kill Xu Hongfei.
But not yet waiting for them to say anything.
He had already left Kyoto, and heard the shouts of senior silver and gold detectives.
"quiet!"
Everyone remained silent and silently ran towards the canal.
