Chapter 289: The Depressed Xinping

Lin Zhi wrapped up the wound from Hu Qiye's bite, drove the carriage, and entered the gate of Xinping City alone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Hmph, this dead fox demon is used to being powerful and blessed on weekdays, but it can be regarded as a person who governs him.

Lin Zhi thought about it, and had a little more affection and yearning for Helian Hongxi, the great teacher. How long and what month will she be able to cultivate with one finger of him?

The carriage slowly drove into the city gates.

The gate guard looked at her listlessly, symbolically lifted the curtain of the car, and when he saw that there was no one inside, he waved her to hurry in.

This perfunctory attitude made Lin Zhi keenly feel a trace of discomfort.

You must know that the guards of Xinping City were notoriously strict when they were under the former Liang City Lord.

For example, in a carriage like hers, in addition to checking the bottom of the car, she also has to use a magic weapon to detect whether it is carrying contraband.

Now, it's so perfunctory.

Is it that the left city lord has not supervised this work since he took office? No, the matter of the slaughter of the city has just been completed, and the security work should be more tightly grasped.

What's more, the great division is still in the city. These guards are lazy in front of this national teacher who is "under one person and above ten thousand", and they don't want to do it?

Lin Zhi felt inexplicably uneasy and hurried into the street.

To her surprise, there were only a handful of people on the entire wide main street of Xinping. Under the management of the left city lord, this street that was depressed due to the slaughter of the city has been lively and lively again.

But now there is nothing but garbage and pedestrians rushing by.

It's like...... It was the same as being slaughtered again.

I saw a woman on the side of the road carrying a burden and leading a child to hurry towards the gate of the city. Lin Zhi hurriedly jumped out of the car and asked her what happened in Xinping.

At first, the woman was frightened by being stopped, and refused to say a word. After a while, he recognized that the woman in front of him was the Qingyun priest back then, and his face eased slightly.

"Lord Priest. The woman owed, "The priest went out on a mission and didn't come back, I'm afraid I don't know, let's Xinping, something big has happened!"

"What's wrong?" Lin Zhi said hurriedly, "Why are all the residents of the city gone?"

"The priest doesn't know, this Xinlu country has officially declared war on our country!" the woman looked sad, "The first to bear the brunt is our Xinping!"

Lin Zhi nodded when he heard this.

She knew that. Geographically, Xinping is not the closest city to the Shinlu country, which is good at controlling beasts, but because this city does not have a nearby city surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is separated by natural dangers, and the surrounding areas are basically flat, so it is very easy to attack.

Over the years, if Xinlu wants to attack, it has tried Xinping.

However, Xinping, who has experienced big and small storms, why should he flee so empty for fear of a war.

"Auntie, why do you bother?" Lin Zhi couldn't help but persuade, "Now that the Zuo City Lord is sitting in the battle, and the Great Power Master is also here, the Holy Lord will definitely send troops to resist." Our national strength is no worse than that of the country of Naxinlu, so why flee? It is better to stay in the city and be safe. ”

"Lord Priest. The woman looked helplessly, "If the Holy One sends troops, why should we be so alarmed......

"Will the Holy One sit idly by?" Lin Zhi said in astonishment.

"Definitely. The woman explained, "It is said that the Holy Lord has ordered tens of thousands of elite soldiers to be stationed in Xinping. Can...... But the day before leaving, General Xiao, the general of Zhenguo who led the troops, suddenly fell ill and died! You say, isn't this heaven going to kill me, what is Xinping?"

"Auntie, don't be superstitious. Lin Zhi hurriedly persuaded, "General Xiao died of illness, and the generals next to him are coming!"

"Where are there other generals, it's been nearly half a month, and there is not even a shadow of a soldier. The woman wept and mourned, "All right, Lord Priest, the gates of the city will be closed soon after dark, and I will have to go to my relatives with the eldest child." Persuade your lords to flee for your life, but don't stay in this city and wait for death. ”

After that, he didn't wait for Lin Zhi to persuade again, and ran away in a hurry with the child.

Lin Zhi helped his forehead and clarified his thoughts a little. This royal family died of a violent illness, and it is usually not really sick.

According to her guess, I'm afraid that Xinlu sent some dead killer to assassinate the general at this stall, which greatly frustrated the spirit of our country.

It's just that if a person can become a general, he must be a warrior who has experienced a hundred battles, and his cultivation will definitely not be weak, how can he be so easy to assassinate?

Wait a minute......

General Zhenguo, General Xiao...... Isn't it mentioned by the master, Xiao Tianrui, that is, Xiao Ling's father?!

Lin Zhi sighed in his heart, Xiao Ling's father died?

He doesn't have a dad anymore?

She didn't waste any more time and drove to Ning Zhiyao's residence. Master asked her to come back quickly, and it must have something to do with it.

Lin Zhi parked the carriage in front of the courtyard and banged on the door of the house.

"Master, Master!" she was anxious, she knew that such a big thing had happened, she should have hurried more!

But the house was quiet, and no one came to open the door.

Lin Zhi panicked for a while, jumped over, climbed over the courtyard wall, and landed steadily in the mansion.

The big bird with green feathers and long tail sat quietly on the tree, looking at her coldly, and she searched all over the mansion, but she didn't find Ning Zhiyao's figure.

Why is her master gone again!

After Lin Zhi used his mental power to confirm that there was indeed no one in the mansion, he hurriedly came out and drove straight to the city lord's mansion.

Zuo Hongyun must know where the master has gone.

The guards of the City Lord's Mansion were all survivors of that city massacre, and they knew Lin Zhi and did not stop her, allowing her all the way to Zuo Hongyun's study.

At this moment, Zuo Hongyun was picking his head and struggling to write official documents.

"Zuo City Lord!" Lin Zhi rushed in and shouted anxiously, "Meet the City Lord, do you know where my master has gone?"

When Zuo Hongyun saw Lin Zhi at a glance, he immediately thought of the fact that he personally took Gao Mingxuan to find this girl to force her to marry, and felt embarrassed.

It's just that he's blind.

But at this time, Lin Zhi didn't remember this incident at all. All she was worried about was the safety of her master, Ning Zhiyao.

Zuo Hongyun didn't mention the past, only with a hint of guilt, and explained: "The little girl just came back? Don't worry, your master went to the capital and will come back in a few days." Before leaving, she told me to wait for you to come back and tell you. ”

"Oh......" Lin Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he was on an errand.

She thought about it and asked, "But is it because of General Xiao's violent illness and death, City Lord Zuo?"

Zuo Hongyun sighed: "It's exactly this matter, you have also heard about it. When we learned the news, we all felt that there was something strange in it, and she couldn't rest assured, so she went there in person to find out the real situation. Let's ...... There is also a preparation. She told you to stay in the city when you come back, and not to go anywhere until she returns. The Great Master is currently sitting in the city, and he will keep us safe. Don't be afraid. ”
