NOVEL WEB Chapter 699 Mission Bonus
We hadn't been shopping for more than a quarter of an hour when the road ahead was completely blocked.
Yi Zhen stood up and looked at the person who was obviously the leader of the group of people blocking the road. "Government people? What are you doing?"
"Don't be angry, sir. I am Chen Yang, the military commander of Mingguang Prefecture. I am here on the orders of the Lord to invite the five of you to the government office for a chat."
The leading man was of sturdy build, wearing a dark blue official uniform. His resolute face showed a hint of shrewdness.
This is a man who is well versed in the ways of the world.
Yi Zhen made a judgment instantly.
Then he turned around and whispered to Ning Ruan and the others: "The Military Commander is in charge of military affairs, defense and troop management."
Chen Dujian, who could fully understand this introduction, twitched his lips slightly, and then looked at the three people opposite him with surprise.
One is at the initial stage of the fifth realm, one is at the peak of the fifth realm, one is at the seventh realm, and two are at the eighth realm.
And now, it is clear that the one with the highest cultivation level at the peak of the eighth realm is introducing his position to the other three in an extremely polite manner.
The picture is a bit weird.
But he couldn't tell what was weird about it.
Just as he was thinking about it, Chen Dujian's attention was suddenly attracted by the golden jade pieces on the five people.
This thing... was not the misunderstanding he had thought, but a real spirit crystal!
"Master Chen, we are here for a mission." Yi Zhen said calmly.
Chen Dujian showed no surprise and said in a serious tone: "In that case, you can discuss this with the Lord in detail. If necessary, Mingguang Prefecture will definitely cooperate with us."
"Then go." Ning Ruan said slowly.
Chen Yang still looked at Yi Zhen, waiting for his reply.
After all, he is the one with the highest cultivation among the five.
"Okay." Yi Zhen nodded and met Chen Yang's gaze, "Then I'll trouble Supervisor Chen to lead the way."
The Mingguang Prefecture government office is located in the city center.
It’s very close to the square where the formation is teleported.
On the right is the Dibao Hall.
It looks much smaller than the Qingzhou City Report Hall, so I wonder if the content is the same.
The five people followed Chen Dujian inside.
He was welcomed into the main hall at the backyard of the government office.
Perhaps everything was prepared in advance, as as soon as they came in, maids served them tea and snacks one by one.
All of them are exquisite and fresh, and obviously prepared with great care.
"The master will be here soon. Please have some refreshments first. In addition, according to the master's instructions, your accommodation has been prepared."
Chen Dujian remained calm and showed a little enthusiasm.
"Where to stay?" Mu Yiqiu raised his eyes. "We don't live in the government office. Instead of cleaning this up, it's better to ask your master to come here quickly. He said he invited us, but he didn't see anyone himself."
Mu Yiqiu's attitude was not very good.
But unexpectedly, Chen Dujian, who was at the thirteenth level of cultivation, seemed to be accustomed to their attitude.
I am somewhat unhappy.
But it wasn't too obvious.
Chen Dujian was about to speak.
A slightly humble voice was heard outside, "I'm sorry, my wife is sick, and I was accompanying her just now, so I'm a little late."
The man who came looked even younger than Chen Dujian. He wore a green jade crown and a white robe, and was elegant yet dignified.
He walked in with a smile, and his eyes naturally met Ning Ruan and the others. His identity was self-evident.
"Even if you are not staying at the government office, you should still have a meal with me. Otherwise, wouldn't it be impolite of me?"
The prefect of Mingguang Prefecture, Dou Jian, has reached the eleventh realm of cultivation.
His cultivation level is not high and his strength is even more vulnerable.
The eleven realms are also built entirely with natural materials and treasures.
But he was a scholar who took literature as his way of life and became an official through imperial examinations.
He is not good at fighting, but is very good at handling government affairs. In recent years, he has governed the remote Mingguang Prefecture very well.
All this information was obtained by Yi Zhen.
He worked all night last night and got this information.
"There's no need to eat. We're here on a mission." Yi Zhen raised his hand as a salute.
Prefect Dou smiled and said, "I wonder what the mission is? If it's inconvenient to tell me, that's fine, but if it can be useful, Mingguang Prefecture will definitely cooperate with us."
Yi Zhen did not hide anything and stated the mission directly, "It would be great if Mingguang Prefecture is willing to cooperate."
"I have heard of this person, but I didn't know that he had actually hidden in Mingguang Prefecture." Prefect Dou nodded and immediately ordered Chen Dujian, who had sent a few people over, to send someone to look for that person.
Seeing the other party's cooperation, Yi Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. Although the three sons of destiny looked very confident, he still felt a lack of confidence.
With the help of the government, the chances of completing the task are greater.
After finishing the work, Yi Zhen said goodbye.
Prefect Dou was very polite and prepared to invite them to dinner. "It's rare for you to come to Mingguang Prefecture. Even if you don't eat in the mansion, I should sit at the host's table and treat you all this time."
"No..." Yi Zhen was about to refuse.
Suddenly, the clear voice of a young girl came to my ear, "Okay, but you don't have to go out to eat, just eat here."
Yi Zhen turned around in confusion and looked at Ning Ruan.
That's not what Brother Ning said when they went out.
……
Before Ning Ruan came, she indeed had no intention of staying for dinner.
But after seeing the prefect, she changed her mind.
There is only one reason.
The smell of this person is... so strange.
It is clearly a human, yet it seems to have an aura that is not human.
She felt that they might have hit upon the bonus point for this mission!
