Chapter 33 West Cloud City
After Meng Yang pointed out that finger, he slowly moved his arm in half a circle, and finally stopped his hand and stood up without looking there again, as if he was casually looking at the scenery.
Chen Ze knew it in his heart, and his eyes that looked at him also turned elsewhere as if nothing had happened, and did not show any abnormality.
It's convenient to have an adviser by your side. You don't have to think about things yourself. The best arrangements have been considered for you.
Yes, someone is following you.
It's strange that no one is following me.
The information about Gui Jianchou came from the Poisonous Mist Forest, and Chen Ze and the others came here only after receiving the information.
Since they dare to send information, it means that the people behind the plot are not afraid of the government sending troops to exterminate the ghosts, but at the same time, they do not want the troops entering the Poison Forest to discover anything unusual.
It is estimated that when Chen Ze and others approached the Poison Mist Forest, this tail had been hanging far away, but because Chen Ze and others' scouts were too weak, Chen Ming alone did not notice it.
"How are you doing, my lord?"
Meng Yang asked with a smile.
Chen Ze also smiled back and said, "That's up to him."
Both of them understood the purpose of the other's tracking.
It's not that I want to find a chance to kill Chen Ze's team, but I just want to watch them leave.
It's just surveillance, just to make sure that Chen Ze and others don't wander around in the Poisonous Mist Forest and don't discover anything that cannot be discovered.
Imagine that the Military Aircraft Department sent people to exterminate the ghosts, but the people they sent never returned. Wouldn't this arouse the suspicion of the Military Aircraft Department and send another team to investigate?
If you go back and forth like this, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents.
So it would be better to watch Chen Ze and the others go out in peace and return to the military aircraft. This can further paralyze the military aircraft and make them think that there is no problem in the poisonous fog forest.
If Chen Ze wanted to kill the tail behind, there would be no problem, but it would be like telling the people in the Poison Mist Forest that he had discovered something unusual.
Of course he wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
The two of them looked at each other and were speechless. They slowly retreated from the height and returned to the place where Li Quanan and others were resting and stationed.
"Master!"
As soon as they approached, scout Chen Ming came up to him. He saluted Chen Ze and said, "My subordinates have gone to check it out. The sentry on the other side of the blockade is still there. It doesn't look strange."
Chen Ze nodded without saying anything else. He asked everyone to tidy up, then waved his hand and continued towards Xiyun City.
However, Guo Zi couldn't help but ride with Chen Ze and asked, "Sir, are we going back to the city now?"
"Why don't you go back to the city?" Chen Ze glanced at him.
Guo Zi scratched his head, "Um, isn't it said that there may be hostility? Let's just go back to the city..."
"You want to use a dozen people to confront the felons in an entire Poison Mist Forest?"
Chen Ze raised his eyebrows and looked at him amusedly.
"Then let's do nothing?"
Guo Zi said anxiously: "Can you at least inquire about it first?"
Meng Yang was still possessed by Cheng Yu at this time. Hearing this, he said from the side: "This matter is not urgent. We have some things to worry about when we get to the city. There is no point in delaying the military plane here."
Chen Ze glanced over at Guo Zi. The two looked at each other and smiled, both guessing what the other was thinking.
Chen Ze couldn't help but sigh secretly, and even wanted to save a sum of military merit to strengthen it for Cheng Yu.
Having Cheng Yu here really saved him a lot of trouble.
Guo Zi still approved of Meng Yang. Seeing that he also agreed with Chen Ze's approach, he muttered a dull voice and stopped expressing his opinions.
It took Chen Ze and others half a day to walk from Xiyun City to the Poisonous Mist Forest, but it only took about an hour to ride back on horseback.
As always, when passing through the blockade, another round of interrogation was inevitable. After Chen Ze showed the order document and Qi Sha's head, the guard let him go.
Xiyun City.
As the last city on the inland edge of Anluo Province, its geographical location is remote and its scale is naturally small. The entire city is only equivalent to a district of the main city of Bo'an.
On the contrary, it is the city lord of Xiyun City. His surname is Zheng and his given name is Yuanlong. He is a seventh-level governor. He is second only to the general and the general in the general branch, and his military rank is already quite high.
With his military rank, he could take charge of a medium-sized city larger than Xiyun City, but he took the initiative to request to come to Xiyun City, which was closest to the Poison Mist Forest and was located on the edge of the city.
There is no other reason. Zheng Yuanlong is the brother of Zheng Yuanyun, the lord of Bo'an City.
Maybe it was to avoid the suspicion of nepotism, or maybe Zheng Yuanlong was unwilling to be inferior to his brother in his achievements. No outsider knew the reason. In short, this person was the Lord of Xiyun City who gave Chen Ze a headache.
The reason that gave Chen Ze a headache was of course Zheng Yuanlong's identity.
If the Zhu Yan Empire were to attack Bo'an City with large troops, Zheng Yuanlong, as a biological brother, might not be so easy to persuade.
A group of more than ten riders entered Xiyun City.
Having been here last time, everyone rushed to the military aircraft in Xiyun City by the familiar route.
The Military Aircraft Department in Xiyun City is obviously much more formal than the one in Bo'an City. Unlike the Military Aircraft Department in Bo'an, which was turned into a restaurant, it is a regular government office.
Chen Ze and others got off their horses and walked to the entrance of the military aircraft office. A guard had already come forward to greet them, and said with a solemn expression: "This is an important place for military aircraft. Don't stay for a long time without waiting!"
"What is called……"
After hearing these words, Meng Yang, who had already regained his true nature, stared wide-eyed. When he was about to have a fit, he was stopped by Chen Ze.
"Please let me know, and I'll come and deliver the mission."
Chen Ze handed the mission document from the Bo'an City Military Aircraft Department to the guard.
The guard glanced at the seal on it and did not accept it. He just said "wait" and went inside to report.
Not long after, he came out again and said, "You can go in, others are waiting outside the door!"
The other party was not in trouble, it was just business. Chen Ze had no objection and took a bloody bundle from Meng Yang's hand and was led into the gate by the guard.
The Military Aircraft Department is interconnected, and there are mission documents. Chen Ze does not have to go back to Bo'an City to find Mr. Hua to hand over the mission. As long as he proves the authenticity of the document, he can complete the handover no matter which city he is in, and he can also obtain the information indicated in the document.
of rewards.
Before reporting the strange situation in the Poison Mist Forest, he had to obtain the rank of general first. Otherwise, as a civilian at present, the weight of his words would still be too light.
After entering the gate, the scene inside is very similar to Chen Ze's bank in his previous life. There are benches in the lobby for people to rest and wait. There are seven counters lined up opposite the rest area, and a clerk sits behind each counter.
official.
On the entire wall behind the counter, there were many mission scrolls hung densely, and each scroll was marked with brief mission information and rewards. This was something Chen Ze had never seen at Boan Military Aircraft.
There were very few people in the hall. There were people in front of only four of the seven counters, chatting quietly with clerks.
As soon as Chen Ze entered, he saw a middle-aged clerk with a goatee waving to him behind one of the empty counters.
Walking closer, Chen Ze handed over the task document in his hand and said at the same time: "I took over the assessment task. I wonder if I can hand it over here?"
"Assessment tasks?" The middle-aged civil servant was stunned for a moment, then he raised his hands and said with a smile, "Congratulations, as long as it proves that the tasks in the document are correct, you can hand them over here."
However, when he opened Chen Ze's mission document, the smile on his face suddenly solidified.
"Third Counselor?"
