But ask the people

The carriage drove slowly on the flat path, and the wheels rolled over the withered grass, making a comfortable sound.

In the carriage, the cloth covering the window sash was hung up, and the wooden frame was also lifted. Shen Chaosheng supported his head and leaned on the window with his elbows. Her eyes glanced out of the window intentionally or unintentionally. Round and round, her palm gradually warmed up. Her other hand rested on the wooden table, her cuff was pressed under her wrist, and she tapped the table randomly without rhythm.

Jiang Yi sat across from her and closed her eyes to meditate. She was in peace at first, but with Shen Chaosheng's fingertips tapping, every time it fell, it happened at the moment when she just closed her eyes.

But Jiang Yi just raised his eyes to look at her again, but the person opposite never turned his head to look at him, as if it was unintentional.

However, Master Shen Shaozong would deliberately show his flaws, such as the slightly raised corners of his lips, so that when Jiang Yi opened his eyes for the fifth time, he couldn't restrain himself and asked her: "What's wrong?"

Shen Chaosheng curled his lips, pretending to be careless, deeply sad, and heaved a long sigh, as if a little sad: "I can't figure it out..."

Jiang Yi followed her words and asked, "What can't you figure out?"

Shen Chaosheng's eyes shifted, and finally moved to her face: "I can't figure out why His Majesty the Emperor of Zhongzhou knows the sound of our sword..."

Jiang Yi was a little speechless.

Shen Chaosheng's going to Beijing to investigate the artifact had already been finalized, and Jiang Yi also agreed to go with her.

The two were preparing to leave half a month ago, and they are preparing various matters, including the Shen family's delivery to the Lord of Zhongzhou, Lu Chao's pass letter and greeting stickers.

Although the matter of the artifact was mentioned to him, it was mainly for the reason of inspecting the old house. After all, in the few letters between the Sijia and Lu Chao, it was clearly stated between the lines that Lu Chao did have the artifact in his hand.

And what he meant was: Yes, the artifact is in my hands, but I haven't announced it. If you find out, it means that you have violated the rules and intervened in Zhongzhou, and you will be in bad luck.

Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly a heavy responsibility for the four families to ask Shen Chaosheng to investigate.

Shen Chaosheng didn't agree at first.

At that time, when she stepped into the council hall and saw several elders sitting in it, she paused, turned around and left.

Trouble, trouble, these people have nothing to do with her.

But for some unknown reason, Shen Chaosheng finally agreed.

The Shen family turned a blind eye to Shen Chaosheng, as if they knew that Shen Chaosheng would not be able to escape his orders to the clan.

Even if she finds it troublesome, hypocritical, and even disgusting.

She still needs to do it eventually.

This is the traction in the bones of the clan.

The last letter, written by Shen Chaosheng, is also very simple.

Dinghe Anhao, under the rule of Shunzhi, dress up and encourage work, even though this is the case, it should not be hidden from the mirror to show the people.

There will be countless lights and shadows refracted in the mirror, which will last forever and cannot be reversed.

The Shen family led the clan to come to greet them. There are two reasons. They are connected by blood. They reminisce about the old things in Kyoto. They have a lot of emotions. The letters are hard to say. I would like to see one or two...

The letter mentioned little about Shuixuanjing, but more of pleasantries and Shen Chaosheng's barbed greetings.

But Lu Chao, who has always been evasive, said this time.

Come on, bring Jiang Yi together.

The emperor of Zhongzhou is extremely powerful.

Even Young Sect Master Shen and the young Sword God know that they are inseparable and are inseparable.

When Shen Chaosheng saw the reply, he crumpled the yellow rice paper on the spot, together with Lu Chao's correct handwriting.

"What does he mean?" Sect Master Shen's good-looking eyebrows suddenly became overcast, and when he turned his head to look at Jiang Yi, he looked pitiful again.

She asked Jiang Yi: "Ah Yi, have you ever met the Lord of Zhongzhou?"

Jiang Yi shook his head, and replied lightly: "No."

Before she went down the mountain, she only knew Jiang Zongyue, and she hadn't seen anyone special, especially people like monarchs and emperors.

In the secret realm of the Tianlin Examination, she had never seen Lu Chao's face, and had no idea what he looked like, let alone acquainted him.

Naturally, Shen Chaosheng believed in Jiang Ye, but she couldn't get over the hurdles in her heart. Lu Chao, who was just a year old, was widely circulated in Zhongzhou dialects.

When Zhongzhou was at its most miserable, he led promising people from Qianzhou to help the people and eradicate evil all the way. The people of the audience expected it, and finally lived up to the expectations of the people. The magic soldiers and beasts of the army also hit Zhongzhou.

This matter was circulated in the Xiuxian mountain world for a while, and all sects and even the four clans were very curious about this person, and sent several secret letters, but all of them were returned.

This person is upright and righteous, which means that a generation of Mingjun does not make friends with immortals, does not associate with sorcery, and seems to have no weaknesses.

But Jiang Yun was mentioned in the reply.

Jiang Yi thought that even though he had a title, he would not be nominated by the person who personally conquered the emperor.

This matter is strange, but not suspicious.

Everyone believed that Lu Chao would not use tricks, nor would he use lies.

So Shen Chaosheng was a little bored and flustered all the way, always intentionally tripping Jiang Yi up.

For example, Jiang Yi picks up vegetables and she changes dishes, and Jiang Yi sleeps and she practices swords.

Jiang Yi didn't think it was a big deal, Shen Chaosheng was just entertaining himself, and he would know it when he got to the capital.

Five days later, they arrived in Kyoto.

Kyoto is bigger than they imagined, even though Shen Chaosheng is as knowledgeable as he is, he can't help but comment: "It's not like it used to be."

She had been to Kyoto before the Zhongzhou turmoil. At that time, Kyoto followed the rules and was no different from other places.

After Lu Chao ascended the throne, he promulgated new policies, which did not stop him at all.

Perhaps it was under his command that there was a female retainer who was good at mechanical magic and one of the generals who captured the capital with him, Zang said.

When Jiang Yi and Shen Chaosheng stepped into the capital, what caught their eyes was a cruise ship sailing in the sky, with paddles spread out on both sides, which was as big as a house, and there were various types of buildings, whether it was anti-theft mechanism windows or roadsides. The eye-catching prominent stores are all very delicate and very thoughtful.

They need to go through the market ahead, then the square, and finally to the palace.

The costumes of the two have long been replaced by long gowns that are popular in Kyoto, layered on top of each other, looking a bit messy and also a bit edgy.

But the two of them were full of righteousness, and they just wore the temperament of famous monks, which attracted others to look sideways.

In order not to look so straight and special, the two of them put away their sabers. The ink sword Jiang Yiguan was holding was not in his arms, and his hands were hanging down, but he clenched his fingertips in discomfort.

Shen Chaosheng ignored these gazes, and suddenly saw something, raised his hand and pulled Jiang Yi's sleeve, turned sideways and said to Jiang Yi, "Ah Yi, look at that."

Following Shen Chaosheng's gaze, Jiang Yi saw that it was a wooden eye bigger than a human head, with mechanism wings on both sides. It was flying in the sky and scanning down and down, as if it was something to monitor the people.

Both Shen Chaosheng and Jiang Yi guessed in this direction, thinking that it was nothing more than an inspection mechanism, so Shen Chaosheng said to Jiang Yi in a low voice: "I don't think the new owner of Zhongzhou is as democratic as the rumors."

Jiang Yi was taken aback, and asked in confusion, "Why?"

Shen Chaosheng took it for granted: "This kind of inspection agency looks very intrusive..."

Jiang Yi had no choice but to ask her, "If you were you, what would you do?"

Shen Chaosheng hooked his lips and smiled: "Naturally, it looks like a whole person, it looks like an eye flying in the air."

Jiang Yi didn't comment on her thoughts. He raised his eyes and glanced at the inspection agency that had already flown past the two of them, and said, "This kind of appearance is the only deterrent."

Once something happens, the eyes are hanging in the air, and the eyes are clear, which will always frighten the wicked.

However, Jiang Yi turned to look at Shen Chaosheng.

The idea she just mentioned is also good, the premise is that before people enter the city, they must know that there are "people" who are secretly monitoring everything.

In this way, Shen Chaosheng's ideas seemed to permeate people even more.

The two of them would never have thought that the future Demon Master Xuanhe, her Palace of Chaomu, would monitor everything with a strange puppet of magic breath that is unique to everyone.

What's more, anyone who violates the prohibition will be ruthlessly beheaded by the surveillance puppet.

People in Chaomu Palace, even those who have lived here for a long time, can't tell who is the so-called "supervisor". Xuanhe Shen Chaosheng is even interested in changing the appearance and identity of the doll every day...

It took the two of them half an hour to reach the palace gate.

The guards seemed to have been instructed earlier, when they saw the two, they opened the palace door and brought them in.

The two were taken to a side hall. They thought they would wait for a while, but unexpectedly, Lu Chao was in the hall.

There are half a stack of memorial documents on the case, and the man sitting in front of the case is holding one of them and looking down.

Lu Chao's brows are calm and clear, and he is worthy of being the heavenly emperor spread in Zhongzhou. Although he has been on the throne for less than five years, the aura of the king exuding from his body is enough to shock the world.

He was wearing a black imperial robe, with golden silk thread embroidered with auspicious dragons symbolizing his status, and the cuffs were ironed and tightened, looking cautious.

His eyes fell on the book, and when the two of them walked into the hall, he raised his head to look at Shen Chaosheng, and said slowly, "Shen Chaosheng, the young patriarch of the Shen family."

Then he paused, his eyes fell on Jiang Yi, and he said, "Junior Sister, long time no see."
