a very dark dark guard

Chapter 284 The Lordless City

His men were both happy and afraid when they saw me. They were happy that I was back and the leaderless situation in Sun City had been stabilized, but they were afraid that they failed to protect Yun Zhou and that I would kill them.

Yun Zhou disappeared a few days ago. He disappeared mysteriously in his room. No trace of foreign invasion could be found at the scene.

No one can explain this matter, and it sounds like a deliberate nonsense.

They were afraid that I wouldn't believe it. At that time, the guards guarding the gate, the city's police officers, the government officials who investigated the case, and a group of people accompanied me to Yunzhou's room, and each one used their professional terminology to explain this bizarre disappearance case. , how outrageous.

Yun Zhou is not dead, I am sure of this, but it is strange that he seems not far away from me, but also seems to be a world away.

My appearance in this world is a supernatural event in itself.

After sensing that he was not dead, at least I felt less anxious.

The war has spread to the coastal areas, and everyone is worried now. I ordered the people in the yamen to continue investigating Yunzhou's disappearance, and others will do whatever they are supposed to do.

I'm not punishing anyone, it's not like they have control over this.

Yunzhou's life energy group is very stable and seems to be sleeping.

I stayed alone in the room and tried many times, but I couldn't locate him, let alone control the air threads left in his body.

The minister trained by Yun Zhou was in good hands at critical moments. In the past few days since his disappearance, neither the defenses nor the hearts of the people inside and outside the city had much fluctuation.

Everything went according to plan, and most people still didn't know that Yun Zhou was missing.

I couldn't contact Yun Zhou, so I immediately held a meeting with the ministers.

It was said that Yun Zhou was overworked and the doctor asked him to stay in bed.

All affairs in Sun City will be handled by me, the wife of the city lord.

My return made those rumors self-defeating, and the people were even more afraid that if I found out what they were talking about, I would arrest them and come back to cook and drink. Therefore, for a period of time, everyone was cautious about their words and deeds, except for boasting about the city lord. How brave and invincible the lady is, nothing else is mentioned.

After discussing countermeasures with the ministers and collaborating on rhetoric, I went to inspect the fortifications outside the city.

People fleeing famine are still gathering in coastal areas. Within the boundaries of Sun City, there are many barren mountains and wilderness. Sun City has always focused only on maritime trade and agriculture is average.

If all the people fleeing the famine gather around Sun City, trouble will happen sooner or later.

The people of our Peacekeeping Association, with their supplies, first went to the barren mountains and wilderness to select places suitable for setting up camps and tents to resettle the refugees who were flocking to Sun City.

The martial arts people who joined the peacekeeping association never thought that their contribution to the people would not rely on years of hard training in martial arts, but on the physical strength honed over time.

Opening up wasteland is not an easy job. The food, medicine and materials needed by the refugees in the early stage are provided by the Peacekeeping Commission and Suncity. Their long-term livelihood in the future will depend on their own hands.

The first group of people who explored the way to open up wasteland were members of the Peacekeeping Association, and Tiangong provided financial support.

Therefore, the martial arts people are divided into three factions. One faction joins the peacekeeping association and is willing to use what they have learned throughout their lives to help the people of the world overcome difficulties.

One group believes that God-given opportunities should be seized by those who practice martial arts, and they should seize the land and become kings.

The third group is the group that maintains the status quo, living their lives behind closed doors and avoiding all disputes.

I also changed the name of the Peacekeeping Association to the Public Welfare Association.

Use the unique metal ore on Treasure Island to create a token with the word "Benefit".

If the token is lost, it must be reported immediately. It contains the traces of Qi left by me, so no one can fake it.

With the financial support from Tiangong, the refined food supply from Treasure Island, and the space to resettle refugees, Sun City is still peaceful for the time being.

But Yunzhou can't stay silent all the time, and the matter with him must be dealt with first. I have asked the people who usually serve him one by one. Nothing special happened before or after his disappearance.

Only on the day he disappeared, he received a letter. In fact, it couldn't be regarded as a letter. Someone sent him a thin iron plate.

There is a pattern on the back of the iron plate and words on the front. The iron plate is put in a cloth bag and sent to Sun City in the form of a package.

Sun City has an inn and an institution similar to a post office.

People around Yun Zhou only saw him take out the iron piece from the cloth bag and vaguely saw words on it, so they didn't dare to look at it anymore and looked away in a polite manner.

There was indeed an empty cloth bag on Yun Zhou's desk, but there was no thin iron piece inside.

The maid in charge of cleaning the study also said that she had never seen any thin iron pieces. When she was brought for questioning, she was so frightened that she almost fainted. In order to prove that she had not seen it, she almost strangled herself to prove her innocence.

I told her to relax. I just asked her to come here for confirmation. If I really doubted her, the place of questioning would not be in the study.

After getting the iron piece, Yunzhou stayed in the study without taking a step forward.

After he disappeared, people who entered the room discovered that he was missing and ordered people to guard the study and not allow anyone to enter or exit.

So if the things are still in the study, they definitely can’t escape.

But I can't find that thin piece of iron in the study. I have reason to suspect that it disappeared together with Yun Zhou!

If you can't find the iron piece, you can only check the person who sent the iron piece.

However, the 'mail' industry in this world is not as perfect as modern times.

There are no requirements for real name, name, or type of mailing. The mailer can provide verbal information or name anyone.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that the item was mailed from overseas.

I sent someone to check the name and address of the sender written on the bag, and it turned out to be false. Both the person and the address existed. Unfortunately, he was an ordinary farmer and had no idea about the mailing.

The overseas 'post office' responsible for sending parcels has to deal with too many senders every day. It has long been forgotten what the person who mails the package looks like. Anyway, it has no memory point and has not left any deep impression.

The origin of the package is a small overseas country with a very low sense of existence. It may even be a springboard.

I sent someone to check the cloth bag again. This cloth bag is a local product from the small country where the goods were sent, and can be seen everywhere in the market.

Since Yunzhou disappeared, the people below started to investigate, and also let tracking dogs sniff the cloth bag, trying to find Yunzhou through the smell, because they also suspected that Yunzhou took the iron piece with him, and they could find him if they found the iron piece.

The tracking dog kept wandering around the study, and finally sat down in front of the desk.

They suspected that there was something wrong with the iron piece and that the tracking dog could not play its role.

And I am even more convinced that Yunzhou did not go anywhere else.

I tried to establish a connection with him, but to no avail.

Sensing that his life was safe, I ordered people to protect the study, handle affairs as usual during the day, and then 'contact' him when I came back at night.

Some people don't want the world to be peaceful, and have been planning to disrupt the world for a long time.

The war spread like the wind. At first it was still within control, but then it gradually lost control.

After Yunzhou had been missing for many days, someone finally couldn't hold it back and started spreading rumors that Yunzhou had died of a vicious disease a few days ago and that Sun City was now a city without an owner.
