The news of Master Ma's disappearance quickly reached Lu Yang's ears. Although this incident was within Lu Yang's expectations, it was nothing more than making things worse for Lu Yang.
Coincidentally, this most important combat force was locked in a dungeon, and Master Ma, the only one who knew the exact location of the demon-suppressing magic weapon, also "disappeared" last night. All the ways to defeat the princess were blocked almost overnight.
The only useful news that Lu Yang got now was that the princess he always thought was a good person was actually the monster that harmed Jinchan County. Unfortunately, it was too late for Lu Yang to get this news.
In fact, Lu Yang, who has gained the temporary trust of the princess, can leave Jinchan County directly if he wants to survive. His relationship with Xiqiao was just a chance meeting, and he was not responsible for Xiqiao's life.
But Lu Yang also knew in his heart that he was not the kind of person who sold righteousness to survive. Now that the matter has developed to this point, he must be responsible to all the people in Jinchan County.
If the princess is allowed to continue to cause chaos in this county, Jinchan County will probably become a dead city in a few years. What is involved in this is the lives of tens of thousands of people.
Just when Lu Yang was still thinking about how to find the clue of the magic weapon for suppressing demons, someone knocked on the door of his room suddenly. After opening the door, he saw a soldier standing outside his house with a secret note in his hand.
This soldier Lu Yang always felt a little familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that this soldier was the one who opened the city gate for him and Xiqiao last night.
"The princess asked me to hand it over to you, because Mr. Ma is missing, and there are many important matters in the county that need help. The princess thinks that you are the best candidate to be the master. If you don't dislike it, the princess hopes that you can temporarily serve as the master of our Jinchan County!"
Lu Yang looked at the secret note in the soldier's hand, it was obviously an invitation letter written to him by the princess himself. Judging from the current situation, his act of presenting Xiqiao in front of the princess last night obviously gained the trust of the princess, and letting him serve as the master of Jinchan County is the best evidence.
But this kind of thing really didn't make Lu Yang happy. He knew that the princess's request to let him be the master was just using him. On the other hand, the issue of Xiqiao's life safety is also imminent, and there is really not much time left for him.
Lu Yang took the secret note in the soldier's hand and said: "I accept the request of the princess, and I would like to trouble you to tell the princess."
The soldier sneaked a glance into Lu Yang's room mysteriously, and then said, "I never thought that the girl next to my lord yesterday was the assassin who wanted to assassinate the princess. How did you find out that she was the assassin?"
Lu Yang was feeling depressed about Xiqiao, but he didn't expect the soldier to ask so many questions, so he replied casually, "I guess."
"My lord, where did you come from? Judging by the clothes on your body, you shouldn't be from the neighborhood?" The soldier still asked reluctantly.
Lu Yang frowned slightly. No wonder Xiqiao said last night that this person is just a mere soldier, and there are too many things he wants to know. Now it seems that the question raised by this soldier is indeed a bit impatient.
"I didn't have a good rest last night. Let's talk about gossip later when I have a chance. I'll go back to the room to rest first." Lu Yang sent the soldier away after speaking, and then closed the door.
After closing the door, Lu Yang could still hear the soldier outside the corridor muttering in a low voice: "I really consider myself an official, I'm so arrogant when I just became a master..."
Lu Yang just pretended he didn't hear what the soldier said. He sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the dagger still stuck in the bed and sighed deeply.
Although Xiqiao's situation is urgent, Lu Yang has no way to do it for the time being. He knew that even if Xiqiao was rescued now, it would be impossible for Xiqiao to never get close to Jinchan County again. After all, assassinating the princess was just a result, and Xiqiao's main purpose was to avenge her family!
Locking Xiqiao in the dungeon restricted Xiqiao's freedom of movement, but for Lu Yang, it gave him more opportunities to know the whereabouts of the magic weapon for suppressing demons. If you want to defeat the princess, you have to rely on the power of the demon-suppressing magic weapon!
It's just that doing this, the time left for Xiqiao is really a bit hasty...
Having nothing to do, Lu Yang casually opened the secret note in his hand, and took a rough look at the contents of the secret note.
The content written in the secret note was neat and tidy, as if the other party really wanted him to be the military advisor in the city. Since I have already verbally explained to the soldier that I want him to tell the princess that he can serve as a master, there is naturally no need to read this secret note carefully.
But when Lu Yang casually threw the secret note on the table, there were two blurred words on the back of the secret note flashed before Lu Yang's eyes.
Lu Yang suddenly felt something was wrong, he quickly picked up the secret note. But when he turned to the back of the candied fruit, he found that the two vague words he saw just now seemed to be hallucinations, never appearing before.

"There must be something weird." Lu Yang dared to conclude that he was absolutely right.
He recalled the state when he threw away the secret note just now, and threw the secret note on the table again with the same posture and strength.
Under the faint candlelight on the table, two blurred words appeared behind the secret note that was still in mid-air. The words on the back of the secret note are indeed revealed only under certain circumstances!
Lu Yang was very puzzled, could it be that the princess has something secret to tell him
But after thinking about it carefully, the princess is already thankful for not killing him right now. Is there anything else she wants to tell him that she doesn't want others to know
This should not be true.
Based on the princess's current position, there is absolutely no need for her to tell Lu Yang anything in such a way.
Full of doubts, Lu Yang took the secret note again in his hand. He turned the back of the secret note to the candlelight on the table, and slowly adjusted the angle. In the dark red candlelight, there were two areas that gradually dimmed due to the different degrees of reflection.
As the angle continued to change, the outline of the two characters gradually became clearer.
But when Lu Yang saw the two words behind the secret note clearly, he couldn't help taking a deep breath, his head sank into a blank with a buzzing sound, he really didn't think that behind the secret note, the cipher text that was concealed in such a way was actually these two words.
