The drizzle drifted like silk threads.

The green leaves on the trees are shining with a new light, which looks crystal clear and the sound of rain is shattered.

At this moment, there was a desolate atmosphere on the hills.

Accompanied by the sound of crying and sadness, the coffin containing the corpse of the prefect's wife slowly sank and was buried in piles by loess.

Today is the day when Mrs. Du is buried.

Officials from Dongzhou City and some well-known gentry all came.

Many people's faces were filled with sadness and grief, constantly wiping tears from the corners of their eyes and sighing constantly.

On the contrary, Lord Du's expression was calm.

There was no sign of sadness or numbness on my face, as if I was doing a routine, and occasionally asked some officials about political affairs.

Bai Xianyu, wearing a black robe, stood not far away.

The silver Suzaku mask with drizzle looks even more cold and indifferent.

She waved her hand and refused Hei Meng's move to hold an umbrella, looked at Du Piwu in the distance and said lightly: "Why do you think this guy has invited so many people, just a funeral, making it seem like he is a local emperor."

"perhaps……"

Heiwen hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe he is demonstrating to you."

"snort."

Bai Xianyu laughed.

As an imperial official, it was not a clever move to demonstrate in front of the powerful Mingwei Zhuque Envoy.

Du Piwu is a smart person.

So if he really does this, it means he is not afraid of the Nether Guard.

Demonstration...

Recalling what the White Tiger Envoy said before, Bai Xianyu murmured: "When the puppy with a low eyebrows becomes a hungry wolf, I don't mind becoming an executioner."

The woman's voice seemed both far and strange, like a ghost, but with the ultimate murderous intent.

"Is there no news about Chen Mu?" Bai Xianyu changed the topic.

Hei Meng shook her head: "Mr. Chen has disappeared after he went to Jixi Village. His subordinates have asked the Ming Guard to search carefully. General Lu also brought the Black Armor Army to investigate together. Lord Chen should be fine."

Bai Xianyu had a headache.

It has been three days since Chen Mu went to Jixi Village to investigate.

But after I went there, I never came back, and Ling Yuan had no news, as if the world had evaporated.

If she hadn't known that her husband had a "thing beyond the sky" to protect her body, she would have been looking for it on a large scale long ago.

Even so, I was extremely worried.

Where did your husband go?

The process of burial was over. Yan Hanwen, the chief officer of the investigation affairs, suddenly came over and said with a smile: "Sir Zhuque, how have you done the Tiandihui recently? Do you need help from the officials?"

Bai Xianyu's bright eyes swept across the grave and said lightly: "The progress is going very smoothly, so I won't be bothered by Lord Yan."

"That's good."

Yan Hanwen smiled and nodded, and said inexplicably. "Oh, the Heaven and Earth Association are just chess pieces after all."

Bai Xianyu's eyes narrowed and he stared at him coldly: "Mr. Yan has something to say to me?"

"It's nothing, I just hope Lord Zhuque must be careful soon."

Yan Hanwen's tone seemed to be really kind.

Hearing this, a sharp edge seemed to pass through the eye holes of Bai Xianyu's silver mask, and sarcastically said: "Are you really reminding me, or are you entrusting me to threaten me? If it is the latter, then I will really thank you."

The word "Xie" that is spit out in the cold words is very heavy.

A strange smile streaked across Yan Hanwen's face.

He didn't care about Bai Xianyu's mockery. He looked at Du Piwu who was kneeling in front of the grave and burning paper, and said softly: "A new face every day is unpredictable. Such a person is really terrible."

Bai Xianyu's smile froze, thinking.

She agreed.

When she first came, Du Piwu showed only the appearance of an ordinary official, but gradually he was a scheming fox, and the latter became a narrow-minded and cold-hearted person...

This person is changing a little fast, but also a little unpredictable.

But no matter what, it is absolutely true to be able to manage Dongzhou, a once chaotic place like hell, into a prosperous place second only to the capital.

"After all, I'm an outsider too."

Yan Hanwen smiled, and a bitterness flashed in his eyes, and then he walked towards the grave.

The tip of the white silk feather's eyebrows moved.

This sentence is equivalent to actively expressing sincerity and trying to form an alliance.

As a native of the Xichang Factory, although Yan Hanwen has been to Dongzhou for a short time, his official position and power are still quite large.

The fact that he can take the initiative to make an ally means that this guy is not doing well.

What's more, Xichang and Mingwei are injustice.

But Bai Xianyu didn't consider it.

Because this guy had a conflict with his husband, this alone would never be able to form an alliance even if the other party gave him more benefits.

"Of course, we found some clues about Lord Chen."

Just as Bai Xianyu was thinking, a dark guard from Suzaku Hall quickly came to the front and whispered.

Bai Xianyu's beautiful eyes lit up: "Where is it?"

Ming Wei said: "Mr. Chen was found in Wuchen Village."

Wuchen Village?

Bai Xianyu was stunned.

Isn’t this the village that was burned nine years ago? Why did my husband run there again? What is he investigating?

"Have you seen it?"

"No, we haven't found Lord Chen yet."

The guard shook his head.

Bai Xianyu became more and more worried and said lightly: "Let's go, I'll go investigate myself."

...

The village next to the road with smoke from cooking fires is in ruins, with ruins everywhere, and even a slight smell of burnt can be smelled.

At this moment, a graceful woman was exploring around.

A small snake winds around her arm.

It's Su Qiaoer.

And the woman is Yun Zhiyue.

They also left Nanfengdu to look for it because Chen Mu disappeared for three days.

Relying on the tracking technique of Yin and Yang Sect and Su Qiaoer's ability, we finally found this abandoned village - Wuchen Village.

“Is it here?”

Yun Zhiyue pursed her plump lips, her expression unable to hide her anxiety.

Su Qiaoer, who was wrapped around her arm, spitted out a snake's letter, lightly pointed the snake's head, and said crisply: "There is the breath of Chen Mu here."

"But the problem is that we have searched all around and have not seen him at all."

Yun Zhiyue looked helpless.

She picked up the compass in her hand, but unfortunately there was no sign on it.

"Sister Yun, do you think this village seems a little weird?" Su Qiaoer said, wriggling her soft body.

Strange?

Yun Zhiyue frowned and signaled Su Qiaoer to climb onto her shoulders, and then her hands kept changing, forming a series of magic seals.

As the French seal was printed, a translucent giant net enveloped the abandoned village.

After a long time, Yun Zhiyue looked at the volatile space and whispered: "It's a bit strange, but this village was destroyed by a fire nine years ago, and all the villagers died. It's normal for some resentful spirit to leave behind."

Yun Zhiyue also knew about Wuchen Village.

Su Qiaoer shook her head: "What's wrong, my intuition tells me that there must be something wrong with this village."

She came down from Yun Zhiyue's shoulder and crawled towards the ruins.
