Doomsday Code

Chapter 588 An unexpected discovery

After saying this, Tophis gave Chen Cheng a wry smile.

After Chen Cheng went to the royal capital once and met those so-called superiors, he understood why Tophis was troubled by this.

If nothing goes wrong, then it will be a failure and no fault. However, if something goes wrong, there will be major casualties or other mistakes.

Then this is not just a sin, it is a serious sin.

Especially now that Huidun has just been named the crown prince, most of his basic team is still in Huidun City. The old nobles and families in the royal capital are not so willing to give up their interests so easily.

As the saying goes, it doesn't matter who the minister is, as long as he can be used to his satisfaction and at ease.

Even if those old guys got the chance to deal with Tophis, as long as they fawned over him, Huidun would not think of making things difficult for him, who came to him with his family power, just for a subordinate who had no followers.

From this, Chen Cheng also saw the changes in Tophis's inner mood.

Chen Cheng sighed, and then said:

"Just do it according to your current plan. Don't let those guys with unknown backgrounds get in."

"Even if Your Highness is sentimental, this matter concerns the relationship between the two clans. If some ignorant and greedy individuals were to infiltrate and destroy the relationship between the two clans, it would be a serious matter."

Chen Cheng also explained the pros and cons of the matter to Tophis from a high-level perspective.

What Tophis began to think more about was the struggle for power change. After listening to Chen Cheng's words, he felt that he had suddenly become enlightened.

"You're right. This matter concerns the joint exchanges between the two tribes. We must take it seriously and absolutely cannot allow some ignorant people to disrupt it."

Tophis slammed the table and nodded.

After letting Tophis get rid of his ideological burden, Chen Cheng began to ask about the details of the matter.

And Tophis did not hide anything and told Chen Cheng everything he knew.

And this was indeed an accident.

The old city of Huidun was built as a small city where pedestrians stopped when land transportation was still available.

Therefore, the city lord's treasury still contains many common things used in exchanges between the two tribes at that time.

A month ago, Emile came to him, wanting to go to the treasury of the old lord of Huidun City to look for items that might provide clues about the land transportation between the two tribes.

Huidun City has also gone through many hardships since the land transportation was cut off, and the new city lord's treasury is no longer the original one.

So Tophis didn't care and directly asked someone to take Emile to the old city lord's treasury.

And it was not known whether Emile was lucky, but she actually found a map that was saved by the magic scroll of Huidun City among a pile of useless waste.

The magic power on the magic scroll that recorded the map has almost collapsed under the erosion of a hundred years. If it had been a year or two later, the map might have turned to dust.

This map may have been just an ordinary thing back then, but now, when land transportation has been cut off for a hundred years, it is a very important indicator.

Then Emile took the map and went into the Nanmu Forest and searched for a long time. Then there was news that she returned to the city and recruited Moni's team in the guild, and then there was news that the passage was opened.

Tophis picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said:

"That's all I know. If you want to know more details, you can go to Nanmu Forest and find Miss Emile.

She is most familiar with the situation in the tunnel, so she is in charge of everything there."

After listening to this, Chen Cheng nodded, then stood up and said:

"You'll have to be busy with things here again. His Highness will be back soon, and many people will be with him this time. You must show the power of the number one steward of Huidun City."

Chen Cheng said this with a wicked smile on his face.

In his opinion, Tophis may have always been in the lower circles, so sometimes his horizons do not seem so broad.

But even so, even if he himself is suffering from mental exhaustion, he will still complete his task excellently.

For example, this channel incident.

He only saw the danger of the political struggle in the power change, but did not realize that it would affect the future development of the two ethnic groups.

But even so, he still resolutely blocked his own future and mobilized all the forces he could to guard the passage.

It can be said that with a little training, he will become a top talent in internal affairs. In the future, when the old tool of Holmes is used up, Tofis will be his only successor.

So he didn't want Tophis to be punished by those guys from the royal capital, so he had to let some of the information out.

When Tophis heard what Chen Cheng meant, he understood it. Although he did not show it on his face, he thought in his heart that it was not in vain that he made friends with Chen Cheng.

After Chen Cheng left, Tophis immediately called someone to arrange the next work.

Coming out of the government office, Chen Cheng saw the guard who had told him seriously that taking bribes was illegal. He didn't know if he was just being childish and wanted to play a trick on the guard.

After shaking his body, Chen Cheng imitated the arrogant look of those young masters from noble families that he saw in the royal capital.

"Hey kid, did you see that? I'm your boss's guest. Just because you ignored me just now, believe it or not, I can make you lose this job as a gatekeeper right away."

However, the guard looked at him with a look that said, "Don't tease me."

"You are Lord Brown, and Lord Brown cannot be as domineering as you are, so Lord Brown should stop making fun of me here."

Perhaps they had found a way to the Moonlight Forest, and it wouldn't be long before they could see Samlett. The childish side of Chen Cheng's body began to emerge.

He rubbed his face, feeling embarrassed for showing such a childish side in front of his little fanboy.

Watching Chen Cheng leave quickly, another guard also said with a smile:

"It seems that no matter how smart Mr. Brown is, he is still a child at heart."

If Chen Cheng heard this here, he would definitely say that he was possessed by a ghost just now and that he was definitely not a naive child.

At this time, after leaving the government office, Chen Cheng also thought that he had to meet Emile.

After all, so many years have passed, and the passage is under the guard of the elves. No one knows what the elves think of this land passage now. If you want to get through that road, Emile, a real elf, has to lead the way.

He didn't think about how confident he would be to be able to ask Emile to take him there at once, so he had to see Emile first to solve this problem.

And if it still doesn't work, then we can only wait for Huidun to come back, and then follow the visiting delegation from the Kingdom of Moss.

But this will take a long time.
