Zhou Ben said: "This is one of the reasons, but there are some conflicts between the principalities. After all, divide and rule, so there are constant frictions. This is something that cannot be avoided."

"What's the conflict between Qianlan and Zhanlan?" Wei Ziheng asked.

"The main reason is that the two kings have different governance methods, so there will be some friction among the citizens. The Qianlan Principality is relatively democratic and free, but the Zhanlan Principality is a bit high-pressured, and life is relatively regular."

Zhou Ben went on to say: "So Zhanlan's people are not easy to deal with. After all, in such an environment for a long time, they have all kinds of ideas. Once someone enters our Qianlan Principality, if these people can't survive, they will do all kinds of burning and killing." The looting and the law and order chaos."

Wei Ziheng now understands why it is not easy for Yan Lie to be the city lord. He just happens to be at the border. It is estimated that this kind of thing is very common, and Zhou Ben is a little accustomed to it.

Zhou Ben brought Wei Ziheng to live in the army here, and there are only more than 100 people stationed here. After all, the place is not big, and the strength is stronger than other places. Seldom hit the Valley Opening Realm.

Captain Chen is the third-level immortal cultivator of the Valley Opening Realm, and he is also the strongest among these people. He warmly received the two of them and kept them drinking tea.

"I haven't seen you brother for a long time, what have you been up to lately?" Captain Chen was obviously familiar with Zhou Ben.

"All kinds of running, there is no fixed number, it is all ordered by the city lord."

Zhou Ben asked: "What's going on with you this time? We came here to check and there is nothing unusual."

Captain Chen said: "I feel strange about the situation this time. Generally, people from the Zhanlan Principality will leave after grabbing a wave of things, because the geological conditions there are indeed not very good, so life is more difficult."

"But this time they have come over several times, and they still have a few times to stay. They wanted to go deeper, but we found out in time and drove them out. At that time, they were very defensive."

"Moreover, more people came every time, so I was a little worried, so I reported it."

Zhou Ben nodded and said, "It's really strange, did you find out anything?"

Captain Chen looked helpless, "I can't catch anyone, I can't find them at all, so I can only guard against them."

Wei Ziheng said: "Captain Chen, how is the strength of their coming compared to the strength of the previous ones? Is there any rule in the time or frequency of their coming?"

"The strength is higher than before. It is not easy to beat us, but we can't stop us from escaping. As for the rule, it happens every few days, day and night. There is no specific rule."

Zhou Ben said: "The city lord over there sent someone to do it, right?"

"That's not certain. As far as I know, Zhanlan's city lord will only change for three months, so we are now facing a new city lord. If we have any ideas, we really don't know yet."

Wei Ziheng said: "We can take action from this city lord, maybe we can find out the reason."

Captain Chen called the soldiers who managed the data and asked him about the Lord Zhanlan.

"The city owner's name is Hu Yang. He is not from Zhanlan, but from Qianlan. He is 73 years old this year. He is at the second level of the Taixu Realm. He has no wife and children. He doesn't know his temperament well, but he doesn't have many friends."

"Then how did he become the lord of the city? Generally, this kind of person would not let him be the lord of the city. Firstly, his background, and secondly, his own conditions are not suitable." Zhou Ben said.

This rule is also because of the fear of problems with this person. Of course, it must be born and bred. It must also have a wife and children. Such a person is easy to control, but Populus euphratica is completely inconsistent.

"This Populus euphratica has to think deeply behind becoming the city lord." Wei Ziheng said.

The soldier said: "There is a news that Hu Yang saved the governor's life before and has been working for the governor, so he was sent to be the city lord."

Zhou Ben said: "It's not impossible, as long as the governor is willing, it won't be a big problem to use some means."

Captain Chen opened his mouth and was about to speak when he felt the chaos outside, and then Zhou Ben and Wei Ziheng also felt it.

"Maybe someone from Zhanlan is here, I'll go and have a look." Captain Chen said.

"Let's go together."

This was originally the task of the two of them, and it would not be possible for Captain Chen to protect them and just follow them.

It was already late at night, and the three of them talked for a while, but there were not many bright spots on the street, and they didn't make any big noises, chasing those people.

These people chose a few, broke into the door, and started to take things. Captain Chen immediately ordered to stop them.

Zhou Ben and Wei Ziheng watched, Zhou Ben said: "Brother Wei, do you think they really came to grab things?"

"I don't think so. It's more like looking for something. You have to pick a few first. If you're robbing, of course you won't let anything go, or you're looking for a wealthy family, but they're obviously not."

The little soldier on the side said: "By the way, the two adults, the house they robbed did not repeat itself. It looks chaotic and random, and it is true that they did not rob repeatedly."

Wei Ziheng and Zhou Ben looked at each other, thinking that it should be something Hu Yang sent someone to do, and ordinary people would not do it.

The people led by Captain Chen were really strong, and they all ran out after chasing those people. There were more than 20 people in total, in groups of four or five, and now they are all assembled.

Wei Ziheng and Zhou Ben led the rest of the soldiers to follow up. Many people had already fled, but there were still a few left and besieged them.

Captain Chen commanded the soldiers to stop him. He walked over and said, "Today they didn't choose a good time, hahahaha."

This time was indeed not well chosen. If it was daytime, there was still a possibility of escape, but Wei Ziheng and Zhou Ben only came here in the afternoon. In order to welcome them, Captain Chen had already reminded them not to be careless.

While the three of them were chatting, the soldier didn't take a break and was working all the time. Now they happened to bump into each other, and for the sake of performance, they bumped into each other all at once.

After a while, two more ran away, but the rest couldn't escape, and were arrested, leaving a total of three people.

The soldiers stepped forward and took off the veils from their faces, and then stood aside.

Of course no one can recognize them, Captain Chen said: "See if there is anything on them that can indicate their identity, or if they have emblems."

The soldiers searched around, but there was nothing there, Wei Ziheng said: "They can do such a thing, and the possibility of leaving something behind is very small."

"Hu Yang sent you here for what? Looking for something?" Zhou Ben said: "Or you can tell me directly, and I will help you find it."

Still no one answered, but this didn't bother the soldiers, they were already very comfortable doing this kind of thing, and given them enough time, they could speak up.

But after three hours, they were all dead, and it was finally discovered that they had already taken the poison before coming, so there was no need for them to speak at all, and they were gone.

So no matter how hard they are forced, they will not speak out, maybe their family members are still holding it in Hu Yang's hands.

"I really didn't think of this trick." Zhou Ben also said.

Captain Chen said: "I don't know when it will come next, we still have to wait."

"Waiting is always better than taking the initiative." Wei Ziheng said.

Zhou Ben said, "Do you want to go to Zhanlan Principality?"

"The plan they decided on will definitely take some time. We can go there to investigate first, and maybe there will be surprises."

Zhou Ben thought for a long time and said, "I also think it's feasible."

"I'll send some people to go with you." Captain Chen said.

Zhou Ben said: "No, we can't pass too many people, it will be very conspicuous. The two of us are enough, and it is easy to escape."

In the end, Wei Ziheng and Zhou Ben decided to visit the Principality of Zhanlan. Populus euphratica's territory was about the same size as Yan Lie's. The two entered from the border and walked all night before entering the main city. The City Lord's Mansion is here.

Looking at the lives of most people, it doesn't have any impact. It seems that this matter is also confidential and cannot be asked.

Zhou Ben was about to enter the City Lord's Mansion alone, but was stopped by Wei Ziheng.

"If you go, you will die. Don't worry, I have a way to go in." Wei Ziheng said.

Wei Ziheng and Zhou Ben's strengths are both in the chaotic state, and Zhou Ben may not be as strong as Wei Ziheng if they put their lives together.
