Nan Xiao walked in front, raised his chin slightly, trying to make himself look confident.

The goblins in the village had no time to hide, so they were forced to stand in a few rows at the entrance of the village tremblingly. Last night, the goblin who tied him with hemp rope tried to hide in the crowd, as if he was afraid that he would avenge himself publicly and settle accounts after autumn.

"I don't know if the two of you are here today—"

"Stop talking nonsense." Nan Xiao coughed lightly, interrupted him directly, lowered his face and asked in a deep voice, "This Shangguan is here to investigate what happened last night, where is your village chief?!"

They are just fakes, and they don't know what the process should be for dragon officers to come here. There are many mistakes, and it is safer to go directly to the village chief.

"The village chief, the village chief..."

"The two distinguished guests have come from afar, please come to the humble house for a cup of hot tea."

The goblins were overjoyed when they heard the old voice, and retreated to both sides consciously.

The village head with a gray beard walked forward slowly on crutches, his cloudy eyes turned back and forth on the faces of Nan Xiao and Han Yuan several times.

"The gentleman just said what happened last night. The village is full of old people and children. They rested early. I don't know what you are talking about, sir?"

What an old fox.

Nan Xiao bent the corner of his mouth, and his rosy lips raised a pure and innocent smile: "What's the matter... we can talk while drinking tea."

The two followed the village chief and walked slowly towards the village.

The action of the village chief was really fast. The hemp ropes left on the ground last night have been cleaned up, the cellar has been sealed with wooden boards, and even cobwebs have been added in a pretentious manner, making it look like it has not been moved for a long time. the way it used to be.

Nan Xiao calmly exchanged a look with the man behind him.

Mouth and say: "If the village chief pours water for a while, don't drink it."

In case the village chief was worried about what happened last night, and simply kept pouring medicine into the tea and locking them up, it might not be easy to escape again.

The door of the house was opened, and the faint skylight illuminated the portraits on the table, and then quickly dimmed as the door closed, making it seem a little gloomy for no reason.

Nan Xiao paused and saw the village head in front of him turn around.

His wrinkled face was gloomy in the dark.

Sweat was already dripping from the temples, and Nan Xiao's slightly protruding Adam's apple rolled slightly, bluntly.

"When we get here, the village chief doesn't have to pretend to be stupid, right? I brought a silver dragon to the village to spend the night. How dare you let the goblins hunt us down and try to imprison us? Who gave you the guts—"

"Please calm down, sir."

The village head stepped forward and took a cup of tea from the table.

"Drink your saliva to moisten your throat first."

Nan Xiao took the teacup, worried that there was something in the tea, of course he didn't dare to drink it, so he could only frowned and said sharply.

"Don't think that just pretending to be stupid here, and what happened last night can be easily revealed!"

Out of the corner of the young man's eyes, he glanced at the posthumous photos on the table.

"Don't forget your son can—"

"Of course I won't forget." The village head's old voice was hoarse like a dilapidated bellows, "If it weren't for you, how could my son..."

Nan Xiao stared at him vigilantly, waiting for his next move.

If there are goblins ambushing around, they can only rush out first by force.

The village head on crutches took one step, two steps, and walked up to him, staring at him with cloudy and yellow eyes.

Nan Xiao tightly clenched his hands hanging by his side, and couldn't help taking a small step back.

The next moment, with a "snap", the village head threw the cane on the ground.

Nan Xiao froze for a moment, and watched the village head bend his knees, and knelt down in front of him with a "bang", with a flattering tone.

The original old voice suddenly became a shrill young voice.

"Without the support of the adults of the Dragon Clan, how could my brother and I have achieved success?"

"The adults really misunderstood!"

"Yesterday I heard that the noble silver dragon was coming. I was afraid that the villagers would hurt him, so I asked someone to hunt him down. I wanted to pretend to imprison him, entertain him well, and send him away quietly!"

The village chief tore off his face a few times with one hand, tearing off a fake face, revealing a youthful face that was almost exactly like the goblin in the portrait.

Nan Xiao pursed his lips and stared blankly for a few moments before guessing that this goblin pretending to be the village head was probably a pair of twins with the one on the portrait.

The real village head doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, but he must be controlled by the dragon clan.

The one in front of him is just a puppet in disguise.

Nan Xiao bit the tip of his tongue, allowing the tingling pain to maintain a calm expression on his face.

He turned sideways to find a chair, and while he was sitting down, he quietly glanced at the man in military uniform beside him.

The dark golden eyes looked indifferent, without waves, and after meeting his gaze, the cold covering the brow receded a little, and a trace of warmth flashed across.

All of a sudden, Nan Xiao's almost rhythmless heartbeat stabilized a little.

"The two adults look a bit unfamiliar, this is—"

Nan Xiao coughed twice: "This is the new major general."

Probably because of the man's cold demeanor, his every move is upright and capable, and the fake village chief didn't feel suspicious at all.

"It turned out to be the major general. Apart from what happened last night, do you two have any other orders?"

"Actually, it's nothing, but—the mine has been short of people recently, and two goblins came out of the village to follow us."

Although they now know that the goblin pretended to be the village head and colluded with the Dragon Clan, they still don't know anything about the mine.

You have to go and see for yourself.

"This... now only the elderly and half-grown children are left in the village. If we need to find someone to go to the mine, I'm afraid the villagers..."

"Afraid of what? The major general is here, are you afraid that they will make trouble?"

Nan Xiao straightened his back and gave him a look.

Han Yuan took his words naturally, speaking concisely.

"Forget about the old man, the work is too slow, find the two oldest children to go with us, tell the villagers not to go to the mine, but to cooperate with the investigation of what happened last night, you go with us, others should also There will be no doubts."

The fake village head nodded repeatedly.

"What the major general said is true, what the major general said is true, then do as you said, and I will announce the news."

"The two of you will rest here for a while, and I will invite the two adults after the arrangements are made."

"ASAP."

"Yes, yes, at most one hour, we must get things done!"

The fake village chief turned his head and was about to leave after speaking. He seemed very excited that he had picked up the new major general of the Dragon Clan, and he was a little wobbly when he walked.

Nan Xiao picked up the imitation face mask on the ground and threw it over.

"Stop revealing."

"Yes yes yes, I'm still careful, my lord is still careful, the two lords are waiting for my good news!"
