The best ring

"It's nothing, I hope I'm overthinking." Wu Fan said lightly.

"Mysterious." Wu Ya muttered, but didn't ask any more questions.

The small school officer who was responsible for searching Wu Fan and others' carriage stood there and watched Wu Fan and others' carriage gradually move away.

"You guys continue to watch here. I have something to do and I need to leave for a while." After seeing Wu Fan and others' carriage leave the field of vision, the young colonel said to his subordinates.

Afterwards, the young school officer flew all the way to the city lord's palace.

"Who?! Stop!" When he arrived at the door of the City Lord's Mansion, he was stopped by the guards at the door of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Young man Feng Yun, I have something to see the Lord of the City." The young colonel said.

"The city lord has a lot of things to do every day. You can see him whenever you want? Go, go, leave quickly, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude." The guard said impatiently.

The lord of a city is indeed not something a low-level general can meet casually.

"I have something important to report to the city lord." Feng Yuan said, took two steps forward, and whispered to the two guards: "It's about the third princess."

The guard who originally wanted to reprimand Feng Yun changed his face when he heard Feng Yun's words and asked: "Third Princess Wu Ya?"

"Exactly!"

"You wait here, I will report to the city lord." The guard said.

If it were an ordinary matter, he would definitely not bother the city lord because of a low-level soldier, but the matter of the third princess was no small matter, and he knew that the city lord had been thinking about it recently.

"Thank you, sir." Feng Yun cupped his hands and said.

Seeing the guard hurriedly running into the city lord's palace, Feng Yun stood up straight, and the humble expression on his face turned a little arrogant.

"Bah! How dare a watchdog do this to me? Wait until I seize the opportunity and rise to the top, see how I deal with it!" Feng Yun whispered.

However, he forgot that he himself had to guard the city gate every day. He said that the guard was a watchdog, but in fact, he was almost the same.

Soon, the guard came back. Feng Yun bowed slightly again, with a humble expression on his face.

"Come with me, the city lord wants to see you." The guard said to Feng Yun.

"yes."

"When you see the city lord later, be careful when you speak. Do you understand what you should say and what you shouldn't say?" the guard said.

"Understood." Feng Yun nodded.

The city lord's palace is very large, with many houses and courtyards, and the environment is very good. Feng Yun walked and watched secretly, full of envy in his heart.

"If one day I can live in a mansion like this, my life will not be in vain." Feng Yun thought in his heart.

After twists and turns, Feng Yun met the city lord Zhao Qiushan in a hall.

"Sir, we've brought him here." The guard said respectfully, no longer as arrogant as before when he faced Feng Yun.

"Well, you can go down. No one is allowed to disturb you without my order." Zhao Qiushan said.

"yes."

"I have met the Lord of the City." After the guards left, Feng Yun took two steps forward and knelt down to Zhao Qiushan.

This is not the first time that Feng Yun has met Zhao Qiushan. In fact, he has met him before. However, at that time, he watched from a distance and did not have the opportunity to contact or talk as close as he does now.

"Get up." Zhao Qiushan said: "Tell me what you know, be detailed, and don't omit anything."

"Yes, sir."

Afterwards, Feng Yun explained in detail what he had just seen at the city gate, including Wu Fan and others, Luo Baosong's caravan, etc., all of which were not omitted.

"You mean, the third princess has entered the city?" Zhao Qiushan's voice rose slightly.

"Yes, I just entered the city not long ago." Feng Yundao said.

"Can you identify the people around her?" Zhao Qiushan asked.

"I have some impressions of that caravan. He often passes through our Xingping City. The owner of the caravan, Luo Baosong, is from the Yanfeng Kingdom. This man seems to have been involved in smuggling." Feng Yun said: "As for the other people, I don't have much impression. ”

Feng Yun is the city gate captain and has been responsible for guarding the city gate in the past few years, so he has some impressions of Luo Baosong who often comes to Xingping City.

"Yes." Zhao Qiushan nodded and said, "I understand. Go and find out where the third princess lives. Remember, don't let other people know about this. Do you understand?"

"Young man understands." Feng Yun nodded.

After Feng Yun left, Zhao Qiushan immediately got up and went back to the study to write a secret letter.

"Come here! Get the carrier pigeon."

Soon, a servant came in with a pigeon in his arms. Zhao Qiushan tied the secret letter he had written to the pigeon's leg, and then let it fly by the window.

Looking at the distant carrier pigeon, Zhao Qiushan's expression changed.

The original city lord of Xingping City was not Zhao Qiushan. He was the city lord who was granted the title after the fourth prince Wu Xian ascended the throne. He was a die-hard follower of Wu Xian. He had been following Wu Xian when Wu Xian was still a prince, and Wu Xian also treated him very well. Extremely trustworthy.

When the relationship between Nanping Kingdom and Yanfeng Kingdom was good, there were not many troops stationed in Xingping City, and there was no need for it at all. However, since Wu Xian came to the throne, the relationship between the two countries has deteriorated rapidly. Xingping City, as a city bordering Yanfeng Kingdom, , the status suddenly became important, and the level of danger was greatly increased. It can be said that being named the city lord of Xingping City was Wu Xian's important use of Zhao Qiushan.

After Zhao Qiushan came to Xingping City, in addition to being on guard against Yanfeng Country, he also had a secret mission. Not many people knew about this mission, which was directly given to him by the new emperor Wu Xian, which was to find out the whereabouts of the third princess Wu Ya.

After the third princess Wu Ya failed to assassinate the old emperor of Yanfeng Country, she was not caught or killed. Her whereabouts remained a mystery. Many people in Nanping Country were paying attention to the whereabouts of the third princess Wu Ya, but the purpose of their attention was different. At least, Zhao Qiushan, as Wu Xian's confidant, knew that Wu Xian did not welcome his only sister back. Wu Xian also asked him to report Wu Ya's whereabouts to him as soon as he found it. When he left the capital, he also gave him a carrier pigeon. The only function of this carrier pigeon was to report Wu Ya's whereabouts.

And now, this carrier pigeon is finally used.

"Let's stay here tonight." In Xingping City, Wu Fan and his friends found an inn to stay temporarily.

Luo Baosong separated from Wu Fan and others after entering the city. He went to deal with his goods. Of course, Xingping City was not the final destination of his caravan, so he not only had to sell some goods here, but also had to buy some more. Therefore, compared with Wu Fan and others, Luo Baosong was still very busy.

"Yes." Wu Ya nodded, and did not object to Wu Fan's decision.

"Sister Wu Ya, you just revealed your identity at the city gate. Will the mayor of Xingping City come to see you or invite you to live in the mayor's mansion?" Luo Yue asked Wu Ya.
