Chapter Seventy-Five: The Strange Palace

PS: PS: Thanks to the peace charm of the "Yi family"!

At the beginning, Elder Qingmi said in their mouths, where did the belly pocket that Miss Ji Xiaoyan stole from the treasure house of the Night City Lord go, Brick couldn't figure out at all! I didn't know where to think! After getting the permission of the Night Monk City Lord, Brick immediately took two NPC guards from Qingcheng City and went directly out of the City Lord's Mansion of Ibanchi City, and went directly to the teleportation array outside Iwachi City

Brick had the intention of not taking any guards with him, so he asked these guards of the City Lord's Mansion to protect Ji Xiaoyan and them, but Governor Qing Gong didn't know when he ordered those guards, and arranged two of them, saying that it was to protect him, an alchemist who had no power to restrain his hands, lest he meet any adventurers who were not long-sighted and offended in Panchi City, so he would not delay his return to Qingcheng So, in the end, Brick agreed to take these two NPC guards and left!

It's just that when he walked to the gate of Iwachi Castle, Brick was glad for the foresight of the head of Qing Gong.

The gates of Iwaike Castle were closed at the moment, just as they had seen them outside the gates. However, there were no adventurers near the gate at this time, only a few columns of expressionless Iwaike Castle guards, standing there straight like statues

"Everyone, we are ordered to go out of the city and go back to Qing City" After a city lord's palace guard who followed Brick stood still, he stepped in front of Brick in a vertical step, and said loudly to the Iwaike Castle guards near the city gate, "Please make it convenient for us to open the city gate"

"Orders, orders, orders?" a guard general who was supposed to be the leader glanced at Brick and rolled his eyes. He said impatiently, "This is Iwachi Castle, and we have rules in Iwaike Castle." Open the gates once every three days! It's not time yet, so come back after dawn."

The City Lord's Mansion guard beside Brick frowned. He said: "We are ordered by the Lord of the Night Castle to go back to Qingcheng to open the door for us."

"Night City Lord?" the general guarding the city sneered twice.

Brick thought that they had brought out the name of the Lord of the Night City with this opening, and the guards guarding the city gate would naturally open the gate and let them leave, just like when they came in!

As a result, I didn't expect that the people just sneered twice, and looked at them with a kind of joke look, after half a sound. Then he said, "I'm sorry, everyone. Even if you are the lord of the city, you must also know that our city lord is not the only lord of the city, if we do not agree to let you out of the city, we dare not open the city gate for you, if you must go out now, go to the lord of the city to get his consent and come again, if the lord of the city does not agree."

The general guarding the gate looked at Brick and them sarcastically, then laughed twice and continued, "Then you can only wait in our Banchi Castle. Come back tomorrow and go out of town with those adventurers."

The guards of the City Lord's Mansion who were following Brick instantly glanced at the city guard with some anger, and only after half a sound did he hold his breath and say to them: "You mean, is it okay for the Night City Lord to agree to let us out of the city?"

"yes, didn't you understand that?" the guard general looked at the guard beside Brick with a mocking expression. After smiling at him, he waved impatiently at them and continued, "Alright, alright." Don't stand in the way here, if you want to leave, go to the city lord. If you don't leave, you should go back to where you go."

The City Lord's Mansion guard blushed, and only after half a noise did he turn to look at Brick. Ask him what to do.

"Since we are looking for the city lord, then we will go" Brick didn't expect that he would be able to return to Qingcheng easily, but such a complication happened halfway. If he was told to wait until the next day before leaving, Brick wouldn't be able to wait! After all, they had already seen the lord of the castle when they first entered Iwaike Castle, and it seemed that the lord of the castle was a good man, and if they wanted to come to him, he would definitely be promised to leave the city

Thinking of this, Brick immediately took the two guards of the City Lord's Mansion and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion again to find the City Lord.

At this moment, the general of the city gate guards looked at Brick and them, and after sneering for a while, he whispered to the guards next to him: "These people from Qingcheng really think that our Iwachi City is the territory of the city lord of the city, hehe, he wants to take the position of our city lord, but it's a pity that the lord of the city has killed so many people, and his reputation has long been ruined, who still believes him? He just wants to confess, and he is powerless in the face of the facts.

"The night city lord's sex is also stubborn enough" The guards around the city gate general smiled, and then said: "Our city lord has also figured out the temper of the night city lord, so after so many years of planning can develop like this, otherwise, the night city lord may really get our city lord down."

"Hmph, that's not necessarily! Even if it's hard, our city lord is not afraid of the night city lord!" the gatekeeper said with some disapproval, then waved his hand, sighed and said, "Forget it, don't talk about this, don't talk about this!" I just thought that these people from Qingcheng were ridiculous enough, they really thought that our Iwachi City was the lord of the night city hahaha, I think they were thinking that when they came in, the night city lord personally brought someone to open the door for them, and now they think that we can open the door for them with just one sentence?"

"They're too naïve," the guards next to them laughed a few times, watching Brick's figure disappear with deep eyes, before stopping the conversation. Continue to do what you need to do at the city gates

And at this moment, Brick they don't know at all, this Iwachi Castle. In fact, it is far deeper than the water they see and imagine

Returning to the City Lord's Mansion in Panchi City again, Brick even had an urge to simply go back to find Miss Ji Xiaoyan and Chief Qinggong first. Tell Ji Xiaoyan about what they met at the city gate, but then think about it, maybe where is the night city lord still angry with Ji Xiaoyan and them, if he goes, in case the night city lord is angry or something, and he doesn't let him go back to Qingcheng to find Ji Xiaoyan's belly pocket, then what should he do? So, thinking about this, Brick hurriedly took the two city lord's palace guards. Go straight to the palace where the ** city lord took them to find the city lord!

It's just that when the gate of the palace was at the gate, it looked very desolate at first, and I didn't see any guards in the palace at all, but at the moment it was unusually solemn, and the door was full of all kinds of guards and maids, and it looked like no one was allowed to enter

"Who are you? This is the castle lord's dormitory. Leave quickly!" One of the guards saw Brick and them, and immediately stood up and yelled at them, as if they were about to drive them away.

"We're from Qingcheng," Brick thought for a moment and said, "Our city lord has something to forget in Qingcheng. Let's go back and get it. We're here to ask for the consent of the lord of the city, so that we can go out of the city."

"Out of town?" the guard narrowed, glancing at Brick. He said quietly: "We Iwaike Castle only open the city gate once in three days, and this matter is agreed upon by our lord of the city and the lord of the city. Now go out of the city. Do you have the consent of the Lord of the Nightshade?"

"Yes, yes!" Brick nodded hurriedly. He said to the guard, "The Lord of the Night City has already agreed, but we just went to the city gate, and they said that we still need the consent of the Lord of the City!"

When the guard heard this, his eyes couldn't help but roll, and then he pulled out a very polite smile and said to Brick: "In that case, then you guys will wait here, I'll go in and have a look, and help you ask the city lord."

"Okay, okay!" said Brick, with a grateful look on his face, to the guard, and was greatly relieved to see him turn and enter the palace at once. I believe that soon, there will be an echo!

It's just that after the two City Lord's Mansion guards who were following Brick looked around a few times, they frowned and looked at each other, reached out and pulled Brick's clothes, and took him a few steps farther away from the palace in his puzzled gaze, and then whispered to Brick: "Lord Brick, something is wrong here?"

Brick looked surprised and puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Lord Brick, do you remember what this palace looked like when we brought Lord Ink here with Lord Castle Lord?"

Brick recalled, nodded, and looked at the two city lord guards.

I saw that they all frowned, and after looking in the direction of the palace, they whispered, "We were brought here by the Lord of the Night Castle at that time. Because we are usually the guards of the city lord, naturally we paid attention to the guards of the city lord's mansion of Iwachi Castle when we came, but we clearly remember that when we came, there were only two ordinary guards at the gate of this palace. Moreover, the city lord came out of the palace at that time, and it gave us the feeling that he was under house arrest by the night city lord."

Brick frowned slightly, it seemed that this was really the case.

However, if the city lord is under house arrest, then what do the guards at the city gate mean? He is not smart, but he is not stupid either! When the guards at the city gate are talking, their attitude towards the night city lord and the city lord is different! To be precise, Brick thinks that the people they have just met should be the subordinates of the city lord, but if the people guarding the city gate are the people of the city lord, then where will the city lord be put under house arrest by the city lord?

What the hell is going on with the two lords of Iwaike Castle?

The guards of the Castle Lord's Mansion cautiously looked in the direction of the palace, and then continued: "We have always thought that this Iwaike Castle is the final say of the Night Castle Lord, and he is the sole ruler! But, Lord Brick, we have just been to the city gate, you must have heard the meaning of those guards! Every word they say can reveal a message, they are the people of the Night Castle Lord, and they don't listen to the Night Castle Lord, and even some of them can't see the Night Castle Lord! However, judging from the information you told the castle lord at the beginning, this Iwaike Castle should be the final say of the night lord alone, and even, with the bloody methods of the night lord of the castle, this Iwaike Castle should have been in his pocket a long time ago."

Hearing this, Brick couldn't help but frown. At the beginning, Elder Qingmi and Yu Mo did sue him like this!! The night city lord was in a bad mood and killed people indiscriminately, Elder Qingmi even said that he had seen it several times with his own eyes, how could it be wrong?

The City Lord's Mansion guard didn't know what was going on in Brick's mind at this moment, but after a pause for a few seconds, he continued: "Lord Brick, look at this palace now. When we first came with the Lord of the Night, there were only two guards, and it looked absolutely desolate, but now, with so many guards and maids, this doesn't look like a pomp and circumstance that a city lord with no rights can have."

"Could it be that these people were all sent by the Night City Lord to monitor the Night City Lord?" Brick blurted out such a sentence, after saying himself, he didn't believe it himself!!! With the attitude of the guard just now, it couldn't be the Night Night City Lord's people!!

The guards of the City Lord's Mansion probably also saw the look of disbelief on Brick's face, and after a sigh, he said to him, "We also thought about it at the beginning. However, Lord Brick, the guard who spoke to us, whether it was the way he spoke, or the attitude he had towards the city lord, revealed such a message!

Brick was silent and did not speak.

"Moreover, we also took a closer look, the maids and guards around us, their attitudes and eyes are not here to monitor the city lord, they are the people of the city lord!" the city lord's palace guard whispered to Brick, "Then, now the problem comes! Lord Brick, why such a strange thing happened here in the city lord, we don't care for the time being. We came to Qingcheng to save Lord Yumo, but now Lord Yumo is in the palace of the city lord, and none of us know what happened to him! And the guards at the city gate don't seem to want us to leave, so do we need to continue to wait for the consent of the city lord here, or do we go to the city lord and the head of Qinggong and tell them about this matter?"
