The Star Alliance is Cheng Jinzhou's biggest support, and Zhenmi increases his value.

What Prince Zhao Zuxiang held in his hands was not only a seedling of real rice, but also Cheng Jinzhou's most fragile nerve.

His face turned cold instantly.

Cheng Jinzhou's cold face was frightening. Zhao Zuxiang slowly straightened up and said with a smile as if nothing had happened: "Jinzhou's nephew is indeed a talented person among people. De'an, a small county town, has now become a popular tourist attraction." In the capital city, the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is really good governance."

"It can't be called Dadu. But what are you doing here, Mr. Zhao? You just pulled out the new seedlings. This is destroying people and property. You have a lot of money, but ordinary people have to live on it." Cheng Jinzhou said something It's definitely a slap in the face. Not to mention in Daxia, where etiquette is prevalent, even in other countries, it would be quite impolite to use the topic like this.

For a sensitive nobleman, just Cheng Jinzhou's practice of not addressing him as "prince" but "lord" can cause him to have a seizure.

But Zhao Zuxiang didn't dare to have an attack.

Although he is a majestic county king, when he goes out, in addition to a dozen knights, there is only one star warlock apprentice following him. Who dares to speak harshly to Cheng Jinzhou? Everyone knows that the 15-year-old boy in front of him has been there more than once , directly slashed people with a knife. That is something that many nobles who have been on the battlefield have never done.

He did invite a few low-level star warlocks to stay in the county prince's palace continuously, but they just wanted to be comfortable and stable, and what they pursued was "more money, less work, less time and close to home", so how could they go out and work as bodyguards with the prince? .

In view of this, Zhao Zuxiang raised his head and gave way to Cheng Jinzhou who was on the horse: "Master Cheng said that I will pay a heavy compensation."

As Zhao Zuxiang's dignified status as a county king, his attitude could be described as humble.

If we follow the checks and balances and requirements of the Star Warlock Association, the relationship between senior civil servants and Star Warlocks should be on a good-natured basis. Facing the Star Warlocks, the so-called "nobility" of senior civil servants will not change much.

However, the failure of hiring a third-level star warlock to assassinate Cheng Jinzhou a few days ago made Zhao Zuxiang feel half shorter, not because of guilt, but because of the words of the star warlock.

A third-level star warlock with bad conduct can get a lot of money as long as he takes action, regardless of whether he succeeds or not. However, facing Cheng Jinzhou, he didn't even dare to show off.

The Star Warlocks' judgment of Cheng Jinzhou's power simply shocked Zhao Zuxiang.

Cheng Jinzhou looked at Zhao Zuxiang suspiciously, judging whether he had discovered the secret of real rice.

Yisu's body slowly emerged and said, "Is this the Prince of Nanling County?"

Cheng Jinzhou tilted his head and moved his lips slightly: "What?"

"Do you still remember how the warlock Cao Fengxing introduced you to the source of the seeds when you first saw Zhenmi?" Yisu's memory far exceeded Cheng Jinzhou's imagination.

Xiao Cheng thought for a long time and said without finding anything: "I just remember that it was found in the southwest."

"Who discovered it?"

Cheng Jinzhou's expression changed. Although he had no impression, he guessed: "Could it be the Prince of Nanling County?"

Yisu nodded his head in the void and said, "If I remember correctly, he paid tribute to your Emperor."

Cheng Jinzhou's face became colder and colder.

In this case, Prince Nanling might have recognized that what was grown on the ground was not ordinary food.

Of course, there is also a certain possibility that the great nobles, who did not distinguish between grains and grains, presented a mysterious but distinctive plant to the emperor, and then never remembered it again.

But no matter what the situation is, looking at the posture of Prince Nanling, there is bound to be suspicion. After all, no one will plant 200,000 acres of waste products. If there is enough curiosity, the Lord Prince may give the plants in his hand to some familiar star warlocks for identification.

Cheng Jinzhou's face turned from red to white and then blue long ago. The Nanling County Prince was frightened when he saw it, but he resisted and did not retreat.

Liu Qingshuang didn't know the situation very well, but she also knew that Cheng Jinzhou valued this farmland very much. Seeing the formation of Prince Nanling's men naturally dispersing, she also put her hands behind her back and secretly typed two code words.

The knights of the Cheng family have always been paid by their mistress. When several people saw the secret message, they immediately moved their horses lightly and moved to the side and rear intentionally or unintentionally. In this way, if something happened, they could be in front of them as soon as possible. They are all covered in armor and are not afraid of swords and arrows.

A small knight leader quietly greeted the star warlock behind and asked him to pay attention. In such a close situation, the Star Warlock may not necessarily take advantage. The myth of the knight killing the Star Warlock is not unheard of.

Cheng Jinzhou had a sullen face, thinking about how to deal with the problem at hand.

Killing on the spot is the most direct solution, but it is also something that cannot be explained clearly. The gentlemen of Daxia will not send a mysterious police detective to De'an or Shaonan to investigate. They only need to know: Nanling County Prince arrived at Cheng Jinzhou's land; Cheng Jinzhou went to his own land at the same time; Nanling County Prince died ——Then the conclusion must be that Cheng Jinzhou killed him.

Although there may not be any logical relationship, there is an inherent connection.

The more Cheng Jinzhou remained silent, the more tense the atmosphere became.

Zhao Zuxiang felt a bitter taste in his tongue and complained in his heart: Two hundred thousand acres of land happened to come together. It was really unlucky.

"We are guests from afar. Come, please dismount the knights and take a rest, Master Zhao too." As soon as Cheng Jinzhou finished speaking, his knights pounced on him ferociously. Lu Xu bared his teeth at the star warlock apprentice behind him, who He was so frightened that he stopped moving.

"Don't move." Zhao Zuxiang quickly reached out to stop the knight who drew his sword. Unless Cheng Jinzhou and the Star Warlock behind him were killed unexpectedly, there was no point in resisting.

"Everyone, sit down."

The knights pinned the disarmed soldiers to the ground and formed a circle back to back.

"He is the king of the imperial court." Liu Qingshuang reminded him softly from behind.

"If you want him to mention real rice in the future, he will be itching with hatred." Cheng Jinzhou said, waving his hand and saying: "Shi Mo, go to the city and call all the officials, nobles and squires over. Those from Shaonan and Nanling are also called come over."

"Nephew of Jinzhou, why is this necessary?" Zhao Zuxiang's eyelids twitched and he knew something was wrong.

Shi Mo Diandian ran to recruit people, estimated the time, and waited for people to gather. He was afraid that it would be evening.

Cheng Jinzhou jumped off his horse, approached Zhao Zuxiang, and said, "Your Majesty, please don't talk nonsense for a while."

After that, he just sat under a nearby tree, minding his own business, waiting for the crowd to gather.

Liu Qingshuang took the mat from the accompanying horses and spread it in the shade. She then pulled Cheng Jinzhou to sit down and said, "What do you want to explain to us all?"

Cheng Jinzhou curled his lips, glanced at Zhao Zuxiang who was forced to sit in the crowd, and said: "I want Zhao Zuxiang to be ashamed to speak about this land, what happened today, and real rice in the future. Let people think that what he said Everything you say is made up to cover up."

"Cover what?"

"You'll know it just by looking at it." Cheng Jinzhou had an evil smile on his face, learning from all horror cartoons, such as The Smurfs, Tom and Jerry, and Sheriff Black Cat.

About three or four hours later, the nobles who could ride horses had gathered together, looking blankly at the Nanling County Prince who was surrounded in the middle.

Zhao Zuxiang felt a rush of blood rushing to his head, and his whole face turned red.

He has been the boss of Southwest China for 20 years and the focus of banquets for 20 years. He has never worried about too many people paying attention to him. But now, those curious glances made him very uncomfortable.

What's more uncomfortable is yet to come.

I saw Cheng Jinzhou slowly flying up, stopping 20 meters above the ground, and then shouted loudly: "Agriculture is the foundation of a country. I sacrifice my life and blood in order to let the people live and work in peace and contentment; for the sake of Countless people have shed their sweat to cultivate this land..."

Everyone looked at him excitedly, not understanding what he was talking about.

Cheng Jinzhou was still excited: "It's noon on the day of hoeing, and sweat drips from the soil. Our people have paid so much to plant this land. But today, someone actually wants to destroy it."

He softened his tone and said, "Your Majesty, please show everyone what you have done."

Everyone's attention immediately turned to Prince Nanling.

Zhao Zuxiang was so ashamed and angry that he forced the seedling into his hand and slammed it into the ground. I thought to myself: I see what you want to do.

He maintained his status as a county king and comforted himself that no matter what status Cheng Jinzhou held, he had no jurisdiction over him.

Subconsciously, he forgot about Cheng Jinzhou and there was no need to play according to the rules.

Today's Cheng Jinzhou is not only able to walk sideways in Southwest, but also can order everyone to walk sideways, run on odd numbers, and jump on even numbers - he is the Development and Reform Commission of Daxia, the urban management of Southwest, and the guard of the detention center. Who needs to abide by any rules? law.

Standing at a height of 20 meters, Cheng Jinzhou said in a positive tone: "Xu Guinian, tell me, what is the crime of destroying young crops privately?"

When Cheng Jinzhou first came, Xu Guinian might have thought of some clever way to avoid being offended, but now he said without hesitation: "The crime is worth it."

Exile is exile, a government-sponsored torture tourism program. The quality of their government officials is even lower than that of wild tour guides, and they often do not prepare return plans.

"Xu Guinian, you are brave." Some people have jumped out impatiently. Some are optimistic about Cheng Jinzhou, and some are optimistic about the prince, or they have to belong to the camp of the Nanling prince.

A group of people suddenly gasped.

The Prince of Nanling County had been dominant in the southwest for a long time. How could they have imagined that 15-year-old Cheng Jinzhou would challenge him without hesitation. And it’s a condescending challenge.

"There is nothing bold or daring. The prince is guilty of breaking the law and the common people are guilty." Cheng Jinzhou argued and said: "For the sake of the nobles, come here and beat 40 big boards."

The four government officials who had been prepared long ago shouted: "Mighty!"

"Master Cheng!" More people roared.

Cheng Jinzhou ignored it. The historical stories from childhood to adulthood taught him that the Chinese world will never be without those eloquent young and old people. In the era when monarchy was supreme, the emperor was sometimes defeated by literati, and he did not want to make the same mistake again.

Force is decisive, and even the Zhao family's own people cannot reverse the situation.

The four government officials rushed forward with slightly trembling hands and feet, pushed down the Prince of Nanling County who had given up his struggle, took off his pants, and started beating him hard.

"One, two, three..."

Cheng Jinzhou shrugged and slowly floated back to the shade of the tree.

Liu Qingshuang hurriedly covered her eyes and whispered: "He is the Prince of Nanling County."

In her impression, Prince Nanling was still a very high-end noble.

This is true in everyone's eyes.

The nobles in the southwest had been bathed in the power of Prince Nanling for a long time. Even when they heard Cheng Jinzhou's order, they couldn't believe it until Zhao Zuxiang exposed his snow-white hairy buttocks and groaned under the long stick.

"In this way, anything he said to Zhenmi will be understood as slander." Cheng Jinzhou said, and then ordered Song Heng not far away: "After the Lord Commander's board is finished, send it to Recuperate in De'an City. Before the injury is healed, don't let too many people see it, it will be embarrassing."

"Can the Zhao family see him?" Song Heng asked specifically.

"If they pay the fine." Cheng Jinzhou raised his eyebrows and whispered: "The county magistrate who broke the family and the governor who killed the family. Consider him lucky."
