Yingqiu is the area with the largest vegetation area in Chuanping District. But this is not an undeveloped surviving area. On the contrary, the original Yingqiu is an inexplicable desert in the fertile soil of Chuanping.
Deserts are only found in the northeast or northwest of the mainland. There is such a desert in the plain terrain of Chuanping District in the south. The reason for its formation is unknown. After the Xuanjun Empire was established, the first city lord of Chuanping District began to plan for this desert. After several generations of hard work, the former desert hills became the largest dense forest in Chuanping, a large population area today.
Now, how to utilize this artificial mound has become a new topic in Chuanping District, and many cultivators in related supernatural powers have been recruited to conduct research in this area.
But for now, Yingqiu is still the same Yingqiu, and the research team stationed here is not the master of controlling Yingqiu. Even if it is, compared with the people of the Protectorate, who are these research practitioners?
After getting up early in the morning, Zhu Qi, a researcher and cultivator who was washing by the stream, saw five tall horses and three Diaoqing tigers suddenly appearing on the other side of the stream. He didn't even have time to see clearly the five people riding on the horses, and he was already frightened. Slipped in the wet mud on the creek bank.
Five tall horses rushed all night, and finally arrived at the boundary of Yingqiu at dawn, but they showed no signs of fatigue. The beasts trained by the five masters of the bionic system, the Five Animal Brothers, have reached the realm of perception of more than ten heavens in terms of realm alone. As for the three Diaoqing tigers raised by Yu Gang, the second child, they have reached the realm of strength and soul, and can be regarded as top academics in most colleges in the mainland. The cultivator Zhu Qi who slipped in front of him was only at this level.
"Who are you?" Zhang Hong, the eldest among the five, raised his whip and pointed at Zhu Qi and asked.
Zhu Qi, who was sitting in the wet mud and was dumbfounded, only then looked towards the five people. Taking a look at the colors of their clothes and the looming waistbands floating around their waists, he finally recognized the identities of the five people. .
"Hello, five adults!" Zhu Qi hurriedly climbed up from the mud to say hello, and then introduced herself, "The younger one is Zhu Qi, a seventh-grade expert sent by the Zhizhao Department to assist in the management of Yingqiu."
"Oh, people from Zhizaosi." Zhang Hong nodded. The Zhizao Division is one of the important departments in the center of the Xuan Army, and is responsible for the people's livelihood plans that are the foundation of the country. But in a world where there are already extraordinary people like cultivators, the force and deterrence possessed by cultivators are more important than anything else. An organization like the Protectorate Council has the same rank as the Plant Construction Division, but its status is not the same. Zhu Qi was just a seventh-grade clerk in the Plant Construction Department, and Zhang Hong didn't even bother to look at him.
"Take us to the station." Zhang Hong said, and the five tall horses walked forward together, stepped into the stream and splashed with water, and simply helped Zhu Qi take a bath. Following the three tigers, they walked softly and silently across the river. The way they licked their tongues when they looked at Zhu Qi made him really worried that he would be treated as breakfast.
"What are you doing? Why don't you lead the way quickly?" Zhang Hong, who was crossing the river and ashore, saw Zhu Qi still there in a daze and shouted impatiently. The riding whip in his hand was raised, as if he was about to swing it towards Zhu Qi.
"Yes, yes, here we come!" Zhu Qi, who was wet, turned around in a hurry, ignoring her fellow washers, and rushed to the front, bending down to indicate the direction. Compared with the five people riding on the tall horses, they looked increasingly small.
The station is not far from the creek and can be reached in the blink of an eye. Hearing the sound of horse hooves outside the tent, many people had already come out. At first, like Zhu Qi, they were frightened by the three tigers, and then they looked frightened after seeing the clothes and badges of the five people. After receiving the report, the deputy director of Uejiu Kawahira, who was in charge of this team, quickly got out of his tent and hurriedly greeted him. He, whose official position was from the third rank, did not meet Zhu Qi, a seventh-rank officer, in front of the people who protected the parliament. What a difference.
"It turns out there are five adults." The deputy chief who came out greeted the five people. He actually didn't know any of the Five Animal Brothers, and he didn't know who was higher or lower in rank than him. But as long as you are a person who protects the National Assembly, don't worry about this. It is safer to keep a low profile.
"Who are you?" Zhang Hong's attitude towards the visitor was no different from that towards Zhu Qi.
"I'm Zhu Ping, deputy director of the Construction Department of Chuanping." The deputy director introduced himself.
"Master Zhu, you are polite." Zhang Hong jumped off his horse and finally restrained his arrogance. And this is not because he has any scruples about Zhu Ping's position, it's just because he will have some uses for the other person in the future. It's better to be kinder than to glare at him. He still understands this truth.
"Five gentlemen, you are polite." Seeing Zhang Hong's sudden politeness, Zhu Ping became uneasy. Having been involved in officialdom, he had already become an adult, and he immediately realized that the other party had something to entrust to him. The Protectorate will act expediently, and all parties must cooperate. However, most of the things that the Protectorate will be responsible for are extremely dangerous fights between cultivators. Everyone hopes that the chances of cooperating with them are as few as possible, but now...
Zhu Ping felt helpless, but still had a polite smile on his face, waiting to see what the other party would give him.
"Master Zhu, how long have you been stationed here?" Zhang Hong asked.
"It's been eleven days since I came here today." Zhu Ping said.
"On the eleventh day, have you found any suspicious characters?"
"Suspicious person? No." Zhu Ping shook his head.
"That's good. In the next few days, I may need to borrow Master Zhu's people for use." Zhang Hong said.
"Easy to say, easy to say." How could Zhu Ping dare to say no?
"After the work is completed, I will definitely help you all to ask for credit." Zhang Hong can be regarded as a combination of kindness and power.
"Don't dare." Zhu Ping was hurriedly polite, but finally couldn't help but asked: "I wonder what the five adults want to do?"
"Master Zhu has probably heard of the most wanted criminals in the empire," Zhang Hong said.
"Is it... Lu Ping?" Zhu Ping indeed knew, or in other words, the Xuanjun Empire did not know that there were very few wanted criminals. In fact, Lu Ping, who had the highest bounty, was the most popular.
"Exactly, Mr. Zhu, think about how great your contribution is?" Zhang Hong said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhu Ping responded repeatedly, but cold sweat broke out on his body. really! As expected, it is a struggle between cultivators, and there are such terrifying, bold and cruel opponents. The cultivators in their team are all engaged in side research and have no combat type. How can they help in a confrontation with such a murderer? Be cannon fodder?
Zhu Ping was extremely worried, but he didn't dare to ask. Looking at his subordinates, every one of them has a pale face. Apparently they have all heard of this name, and their thoughts are similar to Zhu Ping's.
"First find a place for us brothers to rest, and then get some food. We need to plan carefully. If there is anything that requires Mr. Zhang's cooperation, we will tell you." Zhang Hong said.
"It is our duty." Zhang Hong said while restraining his tears, and then assigned two men to arrange food and accommodation for the five people. Finally, he called Zhu Qi to his side and quietly asked him how he met the five people.
"I was washing by the stream, and they came just like that!" Zhu Qi also wanted to cry.
