Chapter 212: City Lord
In a quaint wooden carriage, the ancient people are living here.
Murong Yu looked at the bustling downtown outside the window through the carved car window, with a strong curiosity on his face, but his face was a little depressed while being excited.
Only because of the owner of this carriage.
Gu Tong looked at the unimpeded carriage along the way, as well as the frightened looks of those passers-by outside the window, and his face was strange.
He turned his head to look at Keyming, his eyes full of doubt.
Jian Ming also noticed Gu Tong's gaze, his face was tense, his little hands were clenched, and then he shook his head.
At this time, Keymei held Keyming's little hand, with a faint smile on her face.
She looked at everyone and said, "I know that since I was injured in the Land of the Ancestors, you have a lot of doubts in your hearts, but the time is not yet ripe, I hope you can wait a little longer, and when the time comes, I will tell you." ”
Gu Tong and the others looked at Jian Mei's gradually serious little face, and their hearts couldn't help but become heavy.
A powerful man is willing to lose his face to make a move against a beast, and the water in it is estimated to be unimaginably deep.
......
At noon, the carriage stopped in front of a grand courtyard.
Gu Tong got out of the carriage and looked at the magnificent mansion in front of him, his face full of shock.
Because the plaque of the gate is printed with the words "City Lord's Mansion".
Everyone secretly said in their hearts: City Lord's Mansion? Could it be that the city owner of this stone city is looking for them?
Just when everyone was puzzled, the cat demon girl got down from another carriage, came to everyone quickly, and said: "Hello lords, because the situation is urgent, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Youzixi, my father wants to find you, please come with me." ”
Everyone did not hesitate, and directly followed Yuzi Xi into the City Lord's Mansion.
Being able to find them in the bustling city means that the other party is fully familiar with their whereabouts and their details.
In this case, if the other party has bad intentions, they can send someone to wipe them out instead of sending someone to pick them up.
The other party should have something to ask them for.
Gu Tong and the others followed Youzixi through the courtyard, looking at the flowers and plants in the mansion with a curious expression.
The entire city lord's mansion has been built for about 100 years, and the garden is full of ancient trees and flowers.
Kudo Sakura looked at the vibrant garden with a curious expression, her little face flushed a little with excitement, if it weren't for Kudo Blade being dragging her from behind, it is estimated that she would have flown out a long time ago.
Keyming came to Keymei's side and whispered, "Sister, what do you say they are looking for us for?" Could it be ......?"
She didn't say any more, but looked at Yuzixi with a nervous expression, with a look of alarm on her face.
Keymei's face was slightly cold, and there was a cold glint in her eyes, and she said, "This is their territory, even if we hide it well, they will notice it." ”
"They may be afraid to do it because of their concerns, but now we are isolated and have to go with the flow, and the priority now is to find out what they want, otherwise we will always be in a position to be passive. ”
......
A moment later, Yuzi Xi led the group to the hall, where a man was waiting for Gu Tong.
The man had black hair, a slender figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes exuding a bit of majesty, dressed in a black and simple robe, and did not make a sound between walks, and even the wide robe was not shaken.
The man is the lord of this stone city, deep.
When Yu Shen saw Gu Tong and a few people coming, he stepped forward with an anxious face and said, "Oh, Gu Jue, I can be regarded as looking forward to you." ”
Before everyone could say anything, Yu Shen turned his gaze to the key on the side, looking respectful.
The next moment, he bowed slightly, saluted at the key, and said respectfully: "My subordinates are deep, and I have seen His Royal Highness the county lord." ”
Gu Tong looked at Jian Mei with a shocked expression, and some couldn't accept her identity.
As early as the first time they met, Keymei revealed her identity as a member of the Nine-Tailed White Fox Clan, and they also had some guesses about Keymei's identity, but they never thought that Keymei would be the county lord!
If Keymei is the county lord, then her mother is the patriarch of the Nine-Tails clan!
Keyming kept standing in place, her face indifferent and silent.
Keymei looked at the deep salute in front of her, and her eyes were slightly red.
She stretched out her little hand tremblingly, slowly helped Youshen up, and said in a crying voice, "Long time no see, Uncle You." ”
The deep emotions were also very excited, and the first son was surging all over his body, and the black robe was swaying slightly, making a loud sound.
"I really didn't expect to see Your Highness again, if the patriarch knew, she would be very happy. ”
When Keymei heard Youshen talk about her mother, her emotions burst out, and the tears in her eyes burst directly.
Standing alone in place and crying, but without making a sound, it was heart-wrenching.
"Mother, she... Are you alright..."
The crisp voice came out of the key Mei's mouth, and together with the sound of tears falling to the ground, it made people sour.
A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, his fists were clenched, his voice was full of bitterness, and he said, "Patriarch, she is still in the beast prison. ”
Keymei's face turned pale, her body collapsed to the ground like a puppet with a broken string, and the sadness in her eyes disappeared without a trace, leaving only emptiness and despair.
Keyming hurriedly came to Keymei's side, her fair little face was full of distress, and her big eyes also had fluorescent flashes.
She wanted to comfort Keymei, but her emotions were uncontrollable, so she could only sit on the ground and be sad with Keymei.
Youshen looked at Jian Mei's appearance, and his heart was like a knife, and he turned to Gu Tong and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, you must have no place to stay when you come from afar, if you don't dislike it, you will live in the cold house, and I will take care of all the lords." ”
Gu Tong glanced at each other, and they all saw the affirmation in each other's eyes.
......
As she closed the door, she noticed the crowd hiding not far away.
She walked under the gazebo and her eyes fell on the flowers and plants in the courtyard, but she did not have the slightest hint of appreciation.
Gu Tong also appeared under the gazebo, and his face fell on Jian Ming with a solemn face.
Keyming is Keymei's cousin and the only one who knows Keymei's life experience.
There was a light breeze blowing from afar, bringing the fragrance of this courtyard to everyone, but it could not dissipate the heavy mood of everyone.
Jian Ming opened his mouth and said, "My sister's biological mother is the current patriarch of the Nine-Tailed White Fox Clan, Bai Qihua. ”
"Uncle You was my sister's personal guard back then, and because I took care of Aunt Hua back then, I helped my sister settle here. ”
Murong Yu seemed to notice something, and wondered, "Then why didn't Sister Mei's parents show up?
As the county lord of the nine-tailed white fox clan, since she has come to this demon emperor capital, not to mention the lanterns, at least someone must come out to greet her.
But no one showed up now, not even Keymei's parents.
Kudo Blade said coldly: "The Beast Prison is the place where the Demon Emperor holds the condemned prisoners, it was built by a Fang Heaven Realm powerhouse, and when this power built the beast prison, he integrated his own captivity into the cell, making it indestructible. ”
"Even if a powerful person is imprisoned in the beast prison, his own strength will be sealed by the power of captivity, the more desperate he struggles, the stronger the seal is, and finally he is eaten by the power of captivity, so that he will not be able to get out of the beast prison for the rest of his life. ”
Kudo Sakura's face turned pale, and she said in a trembling voice: "That... Aunt Hua, she... For... Why is he in the dungeon? Uncle Key? Where is he?"
The knuckles of Keyming's little hand turned white, and she said, "Twelve years ago, because of an accident, Aunt Hua was involved, and Uncle Key has disappeared without a trace since then. ”
"My sister, as the daughter of Aunt Hua, was also affected by this incident, and was ruthlessly treated by all forces in the Demon Emperor Capital, but fortunately my father knew about it and took it home. ”
"And this time, my sister came to Jupiter to look for her dependents, and her purpose was to investigate the affairs of the year and return Aunt Hua to her innocence. ”
"So it's complicated, and I can't explain it for a while. ”
"My sister also said before that the time is not yet ripe, and I can't tell you now. ”
"All I can tell you is that Uncle's name is Keycage Sha. ”
