Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Two days later, near dusk, at Qingtian Pass, someone was dodging and hiding, making his way up.

Senior Sister Lan and a group of fellow apprentice sisters were patrolling here and happened to discover it.

She shouted, "Who?"

The man stopped and saluted, "Undercover, I have a letter for the Sixteenth Princess."

Senior Sister Lan held out her hand: "Give me the letter."

The man was none other than Meng Tianfang, who came on orders to deliver a letter to the Sixteenth Princess and to pass through customs to go to Zhongzhou City.

He took out a letter, held it in both hands, and walked forward.

Senior Sister Lan reached out and took the letter, then took a few steps back.

Then, she handed the letter to a junior sister behind her: "Give it to the princess, go and come back quickly."

The junior sister took the letter, said: "Be careful," and flew away

Now that they have reached the Tianmen Gate, the disciples are practicing the superb method of cultivating immortals that Lu Xunhuan taught them, so everyone is making rapid progress.

Before the last war, Lu Xunhuan was demoted and he returned to Dengtianmen for a month.

At that time, he helped Senior Sister Lan and Senior Sister Bai to hunt down monsters in the Nine-Layered Demon Tower, obtain inner elixirs, and help them break through to the Tengyun Realm.

It has been almost half a year since he left, and Senior Sister Lan and Senior Sister Bai have both cultivated to the third level of the Tengyun Realm.

The rest of the people are also making rapid progress.

Dengtianmen has not recruited any new members since the death of the old leader and the departure of many people. Now there are only about twenty people.

But although there are fewer people, their strength is stronger than before.

In addition, Lu Xunhuan earned a lot of money, so everyone no longer had to worry about food and clothing, and their lives were many times better than before.

Senior Sister Lan waited for a while, and Princess Sixteen arrived.

She walked over to Senior Sister Lan, looked at Meng Tianfang, and asked, "Is he okay?"

Meng Tianfang saluted and said, "Everything is fine. He originally wanted to hide his identity, but someone spread the news, which was detrimental to him, so he sent me to Zhongzhou City to do some work."

Princess Sixteen nodded and said, "It's not advisable to stay here for long. Please leave quickly."

Meng Tianfang saluted again: "Thank you."

He walked past the crowd and hurried away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Senior Sister Lan whispered to Princess Sixteen, "Did he write that letter?"

Princess Sixteen nodded: "Yes."

She looked at the stars in the sky and said, "He also arranged for us to deliberately send a few spies from the Southern Liang Kingdom through, so you should go and rest."

Senior Sister Lan nodded: "Okay then, I'll take the sisters back to town for a few days to take a bath and change into new clothes."

Princess Sixteen said, "How could you forget me? I'm going too."

Senior Sister Lan happily greeted everyone: "Let's go to town to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."

In Nanliang Baocheng, Hua Xiaotao followed Lu Xunhuan's instructions and went to register.

Afterwards, he was brought to Lu Xunhuan by Zhao Tongpan for an interview.

Lu Xun Huan pretended to look at the form Hua Xiao Tao had filled out and nodded, "Very good, I'm hired."

He said to Zhao Tongpan: "Bring her in to work."

Zhao Tongpan asked, "Do you want to arrange accommodation?"

Lu Xun Huan stood up and said, "I'm going back to the mansion and taking up my post. Let her come with me."

Zhao Tongpan asked again, "Which industry is she responsible for contacting?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "It's not fixed. I'll send her wherever I need her."

Zhao Tongpan nodded: "Okay."

He pulled Lu Xunhuan aside and whispered, "Lan'er is almost sick from being bored at home. You need several more secretaries. Why don't you let Lan'er come out and get some fresh air?"

Lu Xunhuan smiled and said, "Okay, you have the final say. You also have the final say on which industry to let her contact."

Half an hour later, Lu Xunhuan brought Hua Xiaotao back to the mansion and arranged her in his own small courtyard.

After Hua Xiaotao went to clean up the room, Yun Zhongzi quietly asked Lu Xunhuan, "What kind of organization is the Shenlong Pavilion? Are you really from the Shenlong Pavilion, or are you deceiving them?"

Lu Xun Huan laughed and said, "You finally couldn't help your curiosity, didn't you?"

Yun Zhongzi nodded. "Yes, after all, I've never heard of the Shenlong Pavilion before. Who founded it? What's the purpose of establishing this organization? Is it for the benefit of the people, or is there some hidden conspiracy?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "The Shenlong Pavilion is not some unforgivable organization. Its original intention was to save the common people of the world. However, it is still in its early stages of development, with very few staff, and it has yet to fully function."

Yun Zhongzi seemed to suddenly understand: "Oh, so that's how it is."

Lu Xunhuan added, "Take your time. I believe they will be useful in the future."

Yun Zhongzi nodded: "That's very good."

On the second day, Lu Xunhuan took his secretary Hua Xiaotao to Yanshui County to inspect the road construction and plank road construction.

But after arriving in Yanshui County, he sent Hua Xiaotao out and asked her to meet two partners from Shenlong Pavilion to learn the details of the family's current situation.

He took several of his subordinates with him to conduct a thorough investigation.

One third of the highway from Baocheng to Yanshui County has been completed, and half of the highway from Yanshui County to the small town outside the salt mining area has been completed.

From the small town outside the mountain to the mining area, most of the plank roads have been built and tunnels have been dug, only the mining area has not yet started construction.

Lu Xunhuan said to the Yanshui County Magistrate, "The mining area can now be started. We need to clear the mountains and land, build the corresponding workshops, transport salt boiling facilities, and recruit salt industry personnel. We should start now."

The Yanshui County Magistrate explained, "I originally planned to build the mining area after the roads and plank roads were completed. It would also be convenient to transport any needed materials."

Lu Xun Huan nodded. "That makes sense, but we can't wait. Let's do the preliminary groundwork first. We should first open up a location for the workshop and build it. We can use local materials like wood and stone, which is very convenient."

The Yanshui County Magistrate saluted and said, "Please rest assured, Your Excellency. I will make arrangements immediately."

After the inspection, Lu Xunhuan returned to Yanshui County and stayed in the inn prepared by the county government, waiting for news from Hua Xiaotao.

In the room, Yun Zhongzi reported: "I have discovered a follower, and he is very powerful."

Lu Xunhuan pondered, where did this stalker come from?

Did he come from the Zhou Kingdom or was he sent by the Southern Liang royal family?

What is intended?

He waited until dark, and Hua Xiaotao came back. Standing outside the door, he bowed and reported in a formal manner: "Your Excellency, I am back."

Lu Xun Huan opened the door and said, "Report the details of the secret investigation."

Then, the two closed the door.

Lu Xunhuan's subordinates who came from Baocheng naturally also stayed in the same inn.

It is normal for the governor's secretary to report the situation to the governor.

The subordinates were all very self-conscious. The governor listened to the beautiful secretary's report behind closed doors. No matter what the content of the report was, no one was allowed to be curious.

Everyone should go out if they want to go out, close the door if they want to close it, and try not to disturb the adults.

In the room, two people were whispering.

Hua Xiaotao reported, "You may be disappointed. The two of them haven't found anything yet. That family has been working day and night for decades, as if they never found any dragon bones at all."

Lu Xun Huan pondered for a moment. "So, how did the news about that family finding the dragon bones come about?"

Hua Xiaotao said, "It's just gossip."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "What are the specific rumors?"

Hua Xiaotao replied, "Nothing special. There's just a rumor that a family found dragon bones. There are no specific details, such as where they found them or what the family did after finding them. There's no information on that."

Lu Xun Huan pondered for a while: "What about the neighbors of that family?"

Hua Xiaotao said, "Speaking of neighbors, it's a bit bizarre. One rainy season, a mudslide hit the mountain, and three of our neighbors were buried. But that family's house perfectly avoided the mudslide and remained intact."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "So, no one from those three families made it out alive?"

Hua Xiaotao nodded: "Yes."

Lu Xun Huan asked again, "Could it be that this family has carefully planned a murder conspiracy to silence the witnesses?"

Hua Xiaotao said in disbelief, "To cause a mudslide, and with such precision, how difficult must that be? Could that family do it?"

Lu Xunhuan touched his chin and said, "Tell the two partners to investigate what that family did before the mudslide."

Hua Xiaotao nodded: "Okay."
