Chapter 632 Substitution
Hearing that I was going into the city, King Xishan was stunned for a moment, and then asked me: "Prince Chen, will He Jiang not let him get up?"

I said, "Leave him alone!"

As I said that, I looked at the Xishan County King again and said, "Are you afraid of people from the Ten Thousand Immortals League? Why? You are also a county king after all!"

The king of Xishan County smiled and said, "I am the most useless county king in the whole human race! My father probably wanted me to fend for myself when I was thrown here."

Judging from the expression of Xishan County King, he seems to have experienced some unforgettable pains, and it was those pains that made him look like this.

I, Nangong Lian, Chai Min, and Xishan Junwang took a carriage, and the other companions took another carriage and slowly drove into Xishan City.

Although the military equipment of Xishan City is not good, the city is full of prosperity. The streets are bustling with pedestrians, and there are many shops. All must be prosperous.

The west and north of Xishan City are mountains, the east is a river, and the south is an endless plain.

Looking at the bustling scene of Xishan City, I began to change my opinion of Xishan County King. If he is really a fool, then Xishan City will definitely not have such a prosperous scene.

If he is really a fool, no matter what political elements are involved, it is absolutely impossible for the Emperor to keep him in Xishan County.

But he did do some things too muddled, why is that?

I also learned through chatting along the way that the original Xishan County King is called Zhou Li. He once had a military experience, participated in several disputes between the human race and the monster race, and made some military exploits. It was those military exploits that allowed him to get the title of County King. , And went to Xishan to be the king of Xishan.

But not long after arriving here, he suddenly became decadent. As for the reason, even Zhou Yin and Bei Bei couldn't tell.

Soon we arrived at the Prince's Mansion, and the guards of the Prince's Mansion were all ostentatious, so I couldn't help shaking my head, but Zhou Li looked disapproving, and invited me inside with a smile. .

My companion followed closely behind me.

Wu Lingwang looked around, not knowing what he was planning in his mind.

Yang Luo held the cage containing the little swallows and looked left and right. In fact, Yang Luo's bird cage was not locked, and the door of the bird cage was also broken by Yang Luo.

But even so, the two little swallows in the cage would not fly away, even if they occasionally flew out of the cage, they would fly near Yang Luo, not too far away from us.

When I saw Wu Lingwang, I thought of scheming, but when I saw Yang Luo, I thought of simplicity and tranquility.

Suddenly being put under so much pressure by the Emperor, I suddenly felt that I was actually quite happy like Yang Luo.

During this period of time, Yang Luo's left hand was also connected, but the keel on his wrist was taken out, because the keel had been broken and could not be restored.

And after losing a piece of keel, Yang Luojiu's consciousness seems to be unable to recover. I found that part of his consciousness is permanently missing. He must have been so stupid all his life.

Zhou Li, king of Xishan County, set up a grand banquet for us. During the banquet, I kept observing Zhou Li. Although he looked very cowardly, there was an indescribable determination in the depths of his eyes, but what does that determination represent? Woolen cloth?

Originally, I was going to reprimand the Prince of Xishan, but I changed my mind all of a sudden. We only chatted at the banquet and didn't talk about any serious business.

When the banquet was about to end, Qiu Luo came to see Xishan County King Zhou Li.

After they said a few words, Qiu Luo turned his head and walked towards me. After saluting me respectfully, he said, "Prince Chen, I have two younger generations who seem to be friends with you!"

I suddenly understood that he should be talking about Qiu Zhan and Zheng Runxiu.

That's right, Qiu Luo is also surnamed Qiu, it seems that he has a great connection with the Qiu family in the lower realm.

I asked if it was Qiu Zhan and Zheng Runxiu, and Qiu Luo said: "Yes, it is them. I sent the two of them out to deal with some minor matters, and they will be back in three or four days. I don't know if Prince Chen can do it." Wait here until they come back!"

I said: "Yes, anyway, I plan to live in this county palace for a while."

As I said that, I looked towards Zhou Li, and he immediately smiled at me and said, "That's really great."

We stayed at the Prince's Mansion for the night, and Zhou Li also arranged a comfortable place for us. As usual, Nangong Xiong requested that the room must be next to mine.

After Zhou Li heard about Nangong Xiong's arrangement, he asked if he wanted to share a room with me, the prince, and Nangong Xiong said, "No need!"

The room was arranged, and everyone went to rest.

And I asked Zhou Yin and Bei Yu to order the people in the South Cave Hall of Xishan City to start investigating Zhou Li's information. From his birth to the present, don't let go of anything!

Of course, since it is necessary to check his birth, it is necessary to disturb the strength of the Nandong Hall on the other side of the imperial city.

And when I sent a message to the staff of the South Cave Hall in the imperial city through the jade pendant, the Human Sovereign did not express any opinions, probably acquiescing to me to check Zhou Li.

Or, he also wanted me to know about Zhou Li's past.

In this way, the Emperor himself should be the clearest, but why didn't he tell me directly, instead let me waste manpower to investigate by myself?
It was a very peaceful night, Zhou Yin and Bei Yu left, Nangong Xiong came and sat for a while, but she didn't say anything important, she just came and sat for a while, drank a few cups of tea and left, talking to me Said a total of no more than ten sentences.

In the early morning of the next day, when I was doing my morning homework, a servant from the county palace hurriedly ran up to me and knelt down and said, "Prince Chen, yes, someone is looking for you!"

He was out of breath, and he seemed to be running over, and he was very nervous, as if he was afraid of that person.

I stopped my homework and asked him, "Who is it?"

The young servant said: "He came from the imperial city, his name is Yan Jin, the former Deputy Minister of Northwest Defense, he was transferred to the Imperial City Military Headquarters along with the Minister of Defense Yan Shengyun."

So they are from the Northwest?
I asked what the man was doing here?
The boy said, "I'm here to see you, Prince Chen!"

I asked where he was, and the boy said, "The government hall in the front yard, our county king is already there."

I let out a "huh" and let the boy back away.

After the young man withdrew, Nangong Xiong came over and said, "I always feel that this happened by a coincidence. Not long after we came to Xishan County, someone came from the capital to look for you. This shows our whereabouts." It was leaked early on."

"We may have their spies in the northwest!"

I said: "This is a normal thing, I'm not worried about those spies now, I'm just curious about Yan Jin's purpose here!"

As I said that, I looked at Yang Luo who was sitting on the stone bench, watching two little swallows flying around me.

I think that Yan Jin's visit this time is probably because of Yang Luo.

After tidying up briefly, I replaced it with the Prince's Mansion that I had redone, and then I went to the Council Hall in the front yard of the County Prince's Mansion.

When I came over, the door was open. There was no one in the main hall of the council hall. Instead, there were two people sitting in the side hall. With a machete, a square face, and a beard, this person should be Yan Jin.

Seeing me coming in, the two of them saluted me.

Then Yan Jin also introduced himself. He is currently serving as a supervisor in the military department. To put it bluntly, he is Yan Shengjun's secretary.

After waiting for me to sit down first, King Xishan and Yan Jin sat down one after another.

I directly asked Yan Jin why he came to see me, and Yan Jin smiled and said, "It's because of the traitor Yang Luo. I came here to bring someone back under the orders of Deputy Minister of Military Affairs, Yan Shengjun, Master Yan."

I smiled and said, "Yang Luo, I'm in the middle of the interrogation. When I finish the interrogation, I will send the person directly to the Imperial City, before His Majesty."

What I mean is obvious, if I want someone, I can't give it.

Hearing what I said, Yan Jin was already prepared, he smiled and said to me: "Prince Chen, I heard that you are very interested in celestial phenomena, what if I exchange a piece of celestial information for Yang Luo?"

I looked at Yan Jin and couldn't help laughing: "Are you here to take someone, or to replace him?"

Yan Jin said, "It's all the same!"

This Yan Jin is not a very bureaucratic person either, he went straight to the point, and I didn't talk nonsense, so I asked directly: "What was it about that day? I want to know if it is of value to me."

Yan Jin said: "I heard that Prince Chen once went to Shenlei Lake and learned a lot from it. What if I say that this celestial phenomenon is a continuation of the celestial phenomenon of Shenlei Lake?"

Yan Jin's words successfully aroused my interest.

I frowned and asked, "What continuation?"

Yan Jin continued: "According to my information, it was not only you who got the chance from the celestial phenomenon of the Lake of God's Tears that day, but also the prince Heqiao of the Monster Race who got a tear-shaped gemstone, and that gemstone contained the God's Eye A big secret of the clan!"

"I don't know the specific secret, but Prince Chen should know something. Heqiao has been researching and using the teardrop since he returned to the demon clan, but not long ago, the tear gemstone caused a huge change in the sky due to overuse. Three days ago , the light of that tear was reflected into the air, and an image of a huge polar turtle appeared in the air. After the phenomenon appeared that day, the beast in the monster clan's Wanji Demon Prison became very beastly. I heard that the monster It was suppressed by the joint efforts of the second sage of the family."

Having said that, Yan Jin suddenly stopped talking.

But my curiosity has already been raised.

When I asked about the next thing, Yan Jin said: "If Prince Chen wants to hear it, should we talk about the replacement first? Wherever it is, I will tell you one by one!"

I always feel in my heart that it's too early to hand over Yang Luo, but if I don't hand over Yang Luo, how can I get the astronomical thing out of Yan Jin's mouth?
