While Qin Xuan was wandering around the world, Lord Linghu had already begun to interrogate these warriors.

As expected of the lord of a city, although Lord Linghu's martial arts skills were not high, his methods were extremely ruthless and he found clues very quickly.

"Rich businessman Dou Haishi?" City Lord Linghu frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.

Lord Linghu had heard of this man's name. He was the nephew of the then Imperial Master Dou.

Although the fourth prince and the second prince fought for the throne and tore the country apart, there were still a group of noble families who remained neutral, and Grand Master Dou was one of them.

These aristocratic families are only loyal to the future monarch of the country. They will not join any party until the winner is decided between the fourth prince and the second prince.

Moreover, these clans were so powerful that the fourth and second princes did not dare to offend them easily and could only let them watch the battle.

"City Lord, what should we do now?"

General Hu looked at City Lord Linghu. If Master Dou was involved in this matter, it would be troublesome!

Dou Haishi was just a small person, but he became a spy, which meant that the master behind him, Grand Master Dou, might have secretly taken refuge with the second prince.

"This matter should not be alarmed. By the way, has Dou Haishi's residence been searched?" City Lord Linghu asked.

"Not yet. Dou Haishi belongs to Grand Master Dou. We don't dare to offend him easily, so we didn't search." General Hu bowed.

"Confused, the crisis is ahead, let alone Dou Haishi, even if it is the City Lord's Mansion, we have to search it." City Lord Linghu said angrily.

"Yes, my subordinates will do it now." General Hu immediately walked out of the execution room.

"Wait a minute," City Lord Linghu suddenly called out to General Hu. He thought for a while and then said, "This matter should not be made public. I will go and investigate it myself. In this way, even if Dou Haishi is wronged, I will save my face. Master Dou

I won’t be angry either.”

"Yes, sir."

After General Hu left, Lord Linghu glanced at Qin Xuan and nodded slightly.

Just now, the Lord of Linghu City suddenly changed his mind. In fact, it was Qin Xuan who quietly pulled him back.

City Lord Linghu was so smart that he instantly understood what Qin Xuan meant.

Dou Haishi has a special status, and the person who can help him is definitely not a small person, and is probably the Bone Sloughing Realm warrior.

The target is right in front of him, and of course Qin Xuan can't let it go.

On the carriage, Lord Linghu whispered, "General Qin, if we really find that Bone Sloughing Realm warrior later, please protect him."

Good me."

"Don't worry, Lord Linghu, you have seen my methods before." Qin Xuan smiled slightly and patted the Lord on the shoulder.

Thinking of Qin Xuan's weird and unpredictable speed, Lord Linghu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Qin Xuan's cultivation level is at the peak of the Flesh Refining Realm, he uses the Water-Treading Technique, and has two layers of dark energy superimposed. His speed is so fast that even a grandmaster may not be able to catch up.

Of course, this kind of footwork consumes too much energy, so Qin Xuan will not use it easily.

In front of Dou Haishi's mansion, a carriage slowly stopped.

The guards in front of the Dou Mansion saw the carriage and hurriedly stepped forward to greet it.

This is the carriage of the City Lord's Mansion, and it has the mark of the City Lord's Mansion printed on it, so the Dou Mansion's guards naturally don't dare to neglect it.

"Is the city lord here? I will ask him to come out to greet the city lord." A guard said repeatedly.

"No need, I'm here for business, so I can dispense with these etiquettes!" Lord Linghu stepped out of the carriage, and Qin Xuan followed beside him, inseparable.

Lord Linghu led his personal guards and broke into the Dou Mansion directly. Those guards did not dare to stop him. Only one servant hurriedly ran into the inner courtyard and informed Dou Haishi.

After a while, Dou Haishi hurriedly walked out and met Lord Linghu in the corridor.

"Caomin Dou Haishi, I have met the Lord of the City." Dou Haishi kowtowed quickly.

"Mr. Dou, don't blame me for being reckless. The military situation in Nanku City is really urgent now. Every residence needs to be searched. Not to mention Master Dou's mansion, even my city lord's mansion cannot be spared. So I can only

Offended!"

"The city lord's words are serious. The common people are innocent, and the Dou family is also innocent. They are willing to cooperate with the city lord's search." Dou Haishi's face was full of justice.

"Okay, Mr. Dou is indeed the grand master's nephew. He really knows the general situation. When someone comes, they will search the Dou Mansion and not even a single plant or tree will be spared." City Lord Linghu shouted.

The personal guards behind him immediately began to search the Dou Mansion. Suddenly, the whole mansion was in a panic, and all the family members were standing in the courtyard, waiting for review.

At this moment, a powerful servant walked up to Mr. Dou and bowed: "Master, they want to search the warehouse."

Mr. Dou's expression changed slightly and he walked up to Linghu City Master, "City Master, the warehouses are all filled with fine gold and silver. They are closed all the year round. No one can get in, so there is no need to search them!"

After hearing this, the Lord of Linghu City turned his head slightly and glanced at Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan is still a

He looked indifferent, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

"Mr. Dou, please understand my difficulties. The military situation is really urgent and we must not neglect anything." Lord Linghu helped Dou Haishi sit down on the stone bench in the middle of the courtyard to rest.

Dou Haishi's expression changed again and again. After a long time, he sighed, took out a key from his waist and handed it to City Lord Linghu, "Mr. City Lord, it is really not the common people who are deliberately making things difficult. The gold and silver instruments in the warehouse are all temporarily owned by Master Dou."

If anything stored here is damaged, I'm afraid the Grand Master will blame it."

"It belongs to Master Dou?" City Lord Linghu trembled in his heart, but he immediately caught the key.

Now that we have reached this point, we have no choice but to keep going, not to mention that Qin Xuan is watching from the side.

If Lord Linghu retreats today, I am afraid that tomorrow, Qin Xuan will pass the news to the fourth prince and take a copy of his book.

"The military situation is urgent. Even the Grand Master can only offend me." Lord Linghu gritted his teeth and said, "Go and search the warehouse carefully, but remember not to damage the things inside."

Lord Linghu handed the key to a personal guard.

"Yes, sir."

Watching a group of personal guards walking towards the warehouse, Qin Xuan walked up to City Lord Linghu and whispered: "Lord City Lord, these personal guards are clumsy. If they damage the treasures inside, if the Grand Master blames them, the trouble will be big. Why don't you, City Lord?"

Sir, go and see for yourself?"

"Yes, yes, this lord is right. With the city lord personally taking care of it, the common people believe that the grand master will never be angry." Dou Haishi quickly advised.

"In this case, I will go there myself."

City Lord Linghu, Dou Haishi and Qin Xuan also walked towards the warehouse.

Before approaching the warehouse, Qin Xuan sensed a wave of true energy.

His soul power has reached the fifth level, and his induction is stronger than that of the grandmaster. Although the fluctuation of true energy is very hidden, it still cannot be hidden from Qin Xuan.

"Sure enough, it's here!" The corners of Qin Xuan's mouth raised slightly.

He began to observe his surroundings.

The warehouse is next to the rockery in the inner courtyard, leaning against huge rocks. The whole body is hidden among the rocks. If you don't pay attention, you really can't tell that there is a warehouse inside.

In addition, there is a river next to the rockery, with gurgling water and mountains and rivers reflecting each other.

"Where is this person hiding?" Qin Xuan looked around and followed City Lord Linghu into the warehouse.
