The inner hall of the government office of Lu County.

Chen Tong sat at the desk, frowning and staring at the documents full of text on them, with a sad expression.

A girl who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old was sitting on a chair not far away, her two dangling calves dangling impatiently.

In her hand she was playing with a long sword in a sheath.

The scabbard is made of purple wood, which is quite exquisite and not too eye-catching.

However, the hilt of this long sword is carved into the shape of clouds gathering together, and the material is neither gold nor jade, glowing with a faint purple light, making people know that this sword is extraordinary at a glance.

"Brother, is the task assigned to you by the prefect so important?"

Chen Ying put the long sword on the table beside her, held her face with her hands, and whispered, "You didn't pay much attention to me after you came to the government office. And why are there not many people in your government office?"

At this time, although Chen Tong was still the captain of the county with an independent government, he no longer had subordinate officials in the government.

Only ordinary servants and government servants remained.

He was expressing his attitude and clearly recognized the county governor as his superior.

This behavior made Chen Ying very curious.

What kind of person is that prefect?

How could he convince his brother so much?

Although the last time she came back was ten years ago, when she was only a teenager, she still remembered Chen Yisheng's high-spirited attitude and didn't care much about the county guard at that time.

"Brother, just tell me?" Chen Ying jumped down from the chair, walked around Chen Tong, and said with a smile, "What kind of person is that prefect? ​​Is he very powerful?"

"The prefect is a god-like figure." Chen Tong explained simply, but his eyes were still focused on the table.

These are all kinds of information about Wang Jinsheng. They are very detailed, including everything he did when he was a child.

He tortured it all out from the mouth of Wang Jinsheng himself.

The question now is how to quickly spread the news that Wang Jinsheng was detained in Lujun City based on this information?

It would be best to make it known to everyone.

He tried telling the news to businessmen from other places who were coming and going, and paid them to help spread the news, but it was obvious that those businessmen were only perfunctory about it.

Although Cui Heng killed a large number of local merchants in Lujun City, the foreign merchants did not care much about it. They just took advantage of the water transportation convenience of Honghe River to come here to purchase and ship goods. They would not stay for a long time, so their quantity was not affected much.

"Huh, perfunctory." Chen Ying pouted, a little dissatisfied with Chen Tong's attitude, but she was not a petty person, so she quietly came to the desk, looked at the information on it, and said in surprise , "He is from the Langya Wang family."

"Do you also know about the Langya Wang Sect?" Chen Tong looked up at his sister and asked doubtfully, "Didn't your Xianxia Sect seal off the mountain a hundred years ago?"

"Brother, are you stupid? It's not like the Langya Wang Sect only existed in the past hundred years." Chen Ying couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said, "Besides, although we have closed the mountain, we often have disciples who go down the mountain to inquire for information."

Before returning to Duwei Yamen, the two of them had already been together for seven days. They had long lost the vitality they had when they first met again, and they talked very casually.

It's like they are brothers and sisters who have been together for many years.

"Oh, I've been thinking about things and got a little confused." Chen Tong patted his head, embarrassing himself in front of his sister, which made him very embarrassed.

"Humph, seeing as how good you are at cooking, I forgive you!" Chen Ying smiled and crossed her arms, looking magnanimous, and asked, "I've heard you mutter these past two days. , do you want to spread the news that Wang Jinsheng is imprisoned here?"

"Well, the prefect ordered me to find a way to spread the news that Wang Jinsheng was imprisoned in Lujun City." Chen Tong nodded and said, "It is best to make it known to everyone."

"Ah?" Chen Ying was a little surprised when she heard this and asked doubtfully, "It's just that everyone knows it. Don't you want people from the Langya Wang family to know?"

"It's not necessary." Chen Tong shook his head.

"Then this is too simple." Chen Ying said with a smile, stroking her palms, "Brother, if I think of a way for you, please tell me what kind of person that prefect is, okay?"

"Is there really a way?" Chen Tong looked at his sister with some suspicion. In his impression, this girl seemed to only know how to eat, drink, and go shopping. She looked like a tiger-headed girl and was not very smart.

It has to be said that in the eyes of an elder brother, no matter how beautiful a sister is, she is still as beautiful as a flower. In the eyes of others, Chen Ying's appearance can even be called beautiful, but in Chen Tong's view, she is not as good as the girl next door. delicate and pretty.

"Promise me first." Chen Ying said with a proud face and a genuine smile.

"You say it first." Chen Tong didn't like his sister.

"Oh, you know how to bully me. It's been so long since she came back." Chen Ying stamped her feet very dissatisfied, but she still pretended to be helpless and said, "Okay! Master said that you should do more good deeds as a human being. I’ll just do a good deed for the sake of helping others. Brother, let me ask you, since ancient times, what has been the easiest to spread and what has been the easiest to be widely known?”

"Official order?" Chen Tong thought thoughtfully.

"Tch, how can ordinary people care about this? You must have never walked around the streets." Chen Ying said disdainfully, "These are legendary stories told by storytellers.

"I've been shopping around Lujun City in the past two days. There is a teahouse in the south of the city. The storyteller in it is very popular among the people. There is also one in the west of the city. Whenever a lecture is given, the audience will definitely be packed with people.

"Also, businessmen who come from outside also like to buy some story books from the bookstore and take them away to relieve their boredom on the road."

"You mean to turn the news that Wang Jinsheng was imprisoned here into a legendary story, let storytellers tell it, and print it into a booklet and send it to passing merchants?" Chen Tong suddenly realized.

"Otherwise?" Chen Ying said with a smile, "Many people like to recommend their favorite things and favorite stories to others. Is there any way to spread it faster than the people spontaneously spreading it?"

"This seems really feasible!" Chen Tong couldn't help but nod his head after thinking about it, and looked at Chen Ying with some surprise, "How did you think of it? You were so stupid when you were a kid."

"Bah, bah, bah! Who are you calling stupid?!" Chen Ying was very dissatisfied.

She grew up in the mountains since she was a child and rarely interacted with people in the secular world. There were also people older than her in the mountains, so she still had a childish mentality.

Bang bang bang!

At this moment, the sound of stroking hands and clapping came from outside, but it was Cui Heng who came from outside with Hui Shi.

"Master!" Chen Tong hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Sir?" Chen Ying was stunned for a moment, then bowed to Cui Heng respectfully, "See you, sir."

Although she didn't know who Cui Heng was, the only one in Lu County who could give Chen Tong the title of "sir" was the prefect. ,

This county guard is an extremely important person to Chen Tong, so she must perform well as Chen Tong's sister.

Don't leave a bad impression on your brother's superiors. Although there are frequent quarrels between the two these days, they are still very good at taking care of each other's face in front of outsiders.

"No need to be polite." Cui Heng waved his hand, his eyes fell on Chen Ying, but he didn't leave.

"Sir..." Chen Tong panicked when he didn't come.

"Sir, you have been looking at me for a long time." Chen Ying smiled and touched her cheek and said, "Is there some food on my face that I haven't eaten completely?"

She was trying to lighten the mood.

In fact, her level of cultivation was equivalent to the peak of the inner scene, so how could she not notice the grains of rice remaining on her face.

"Are you a disciple of the Xianxia Sect?" Cui Heng suddenly said.

"Ah?" Chen Ying was stunned when she heard this, blinked her big bright eyes, and made a confused expression, "Sir, what is the Xianxia Sect?"

The disciples of the Xianxia Sect have to hide their identity and act in a low profile when they go down the mountain.

You must never act openly in the name of a disciple of the Xianxia Sect.

Outside of Cangcheng Mountain, Chen Tong should be the only one who knows that she is a disciple of the Xianxia Sect.

She also didn't think her brother would tell this information.

Chen Tong, who was standing aside, couldn't help but look at Cui Heng in shock, and quickly lowered his head. He wanted to explain to Chen Ying, but at this time, the explanation was undoubtedly self-inflicted.

Zheng!

At this moment, a sound of swords suddenly sounded in the void, like the roar of cranes in the sky, penetrating the minds of the three people present.

At the same time, streaks of green sword light appeared out of thin air, flying around Cui Heng. Layers of colorful clouds spread with the sword light, and the entire inner hall was soon filled with colorful glow.

"Xianxia Sword Technique?!" Chen Ying couldn't help but exclaimed, looking at Cui Heng in disbelief, extremely horrified, "You, how could you know the untold secrets of my sect, and also..."

She didn't know whether she should say the next words.

Because she even doubted whether she had hallucinated just now!

What Cui Heng showed just now was the highest achievement of Xianxia Sword Technique, "Sword Light Flying Caixia", which for her was already a legendary realm.

Only the current head and a few elders can achieve it.

Why would you see it in the hands of an outsider?

Still a man!

Xianxia Sect never accepts male disciples.

At most, there was someone who had been down the mountain and had taught some men martial arts by chance, but that was not even a registered disciple, let alone imparting the unique skills of the Zhen Sect.

"I have some connection with your ancestor." Cui Heng sighed with deep eyes.

Looking at Chen Ying in front of him, his eyes seemed to have spanned two hundred years, and he saw the little girl practicing sword again.

"With my... Patriarch?!" Chen Ying was a little confused and felt that she couldn't keep up with her thoughts.

Buzz! !

At this moment, the purple sword that Chen Ying placed on the table suddenly started to tremble, and even levitated on its own.

It seems to be responding to some kind of call.

Cui Heng turned his head and looked over, then looked at Chen Ying, "Is this the sword forged by your ancestor?"

Chen Ying nodded subconsciously: "Yes, yes."

A faint smile appeared on Cui Heng's face when he heard this, and he asked softly: "Can you let me have a look?"
