Chapter 858: The City Lord Makes a Statement

Palace.

Outside the city gates.

The carriage of the Schiller family was waiting outside the city gate, and Zhou Chen and the three of them got into the carriage and walked all the way out, directly out of Philhan City. Stopping a few miles away from Philhan City and getting out of the car, Zhou Chen patted Liu Wuchang on the shoulder and said, "Have a safe journey." ”

"The subordinates will not disgrace their lives." Liu Wuchang said with a serious face.

"Go ahead!"

"Take care, prince."

Liu Wuchang nodded, said, grabbed a horse, turned over and jumped up, glanced back at Zhou Chen again, raised the whip in his hand, and whipped it fiercely at the horse's buttocks. The horses let out a cry and galloped away; It didn't take long for him to disappear from sight. Zhou Chen stared at the back of Liu Wuchang riding a horse and disappeared, and after a long time, he came back to his senses, jumped into the carriage, and ordered the guards of the Schiller family: "Go back to the city, go back to the palace." ”

"Yes."

The guard answered, raised the leather whip in his hand, and landed on the horse's hip with a "snap", and the carriage sped towards Filhan City. In the car, Zhou Chen sat restlessly, very worried about the magician that Marka Schiller was about to find; If the sorcerer can see that he is not a god, then all the plans will be completely lost, and he will be completely the enemy of the Schiller family; Not to mention the difficulties in saving the human race, if you can't save this little life, you have to stay in Philhan City.

When Zhou Chen was entangled and worried, a warm hand grabbed him, Zhou Chen looked back, and the female concubine looked at him with a smile.

Zhou Chen smiled, grabbed the girl's hand tightly, and said, "Thank you." ”

"You and I don't need to say thank you, I am satisfied to be able to fight with you, life and death." With a happy smile on her face, Nu Ji continued, "That being said, I always believe that only you can solve the hatred of the Three Realms ten thousand years ago. ”

――Dividing Line――

The carriage was moving at a rapid pace.

Returning to Philhan City and stopping at the gate of the palace, Zhou Chen and Nu Ji got off the carriage and walked into the palace. Just walked a few steps, only to see a few guards hurrying over, seeing Zhou Chen immediately saluted, the leading guards said eagerly: "Your Royal Highness Prince, where have you been?" The city lord is invited, and he has been looking for His Royal Highness the prince for a long time. ”

"Oh, it just so happens that this king also wants to see the lord of the city, let's go!"

Zhou Chen was stunned, he didn't expect the city lord of Filhan to summon him so eagerly; After thinking about it, it was very likely that the city lord of Filhan learned about what happened in the mine, wanted to know more about it from his own mouth, and was about to report it to him. Under the leadership of the guards, Zhou Chen and Nu Ji walked for a while, but not in the direction of the main hall, Zhou Chen asked puzzledly: "This doesn't seem to be the way to the main hall, right?" ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the city lord is waiting for the prince in the imperial study!"

"The Imperial Study?"

Zhou Chen's face was puzzled, he was the prince of the neighboring city, and his relationship with the city lord of Filhan was only average; It stands to reason that he represents Simon City, and the Lord of Philhan shouldn't summon him in the Imperial Study? Hurriedly asked the guards, "Why did the city lord summon this king in the imperial study?" ”

"I don't know about this subordinate."

Zhou Chen was puzzled in his heart, and he had a vague bad premonition in his heart; But at this time, he couldn't let him think too much, under the leadership of the guards, Zhou Chen and Nu Ji arrived outside the courtyard where the imperial study was located, and the guards didn't go to report it, and directly let Zhou Chen and the two go in.

The Imperial Study.

The city lord of Filhan sat on a chair and flipped through the books, and when he saw Zhou Chen coming in, he hurriedly put down the fold in his hand, greeted him, and said with a pleasant face: "Prince, you are finally here; This king has read more than a dozen copies. ”

"Let the city lord wait for a long time, this king is very ashamed."

"I can't talk about waiting for a long time, and this king also took the opportunity to deal with the big and small things in the city." The city lord of Philhan warmly invited Zhou Chen to sit down, instructed the maid to pour tea, and when the tea was ready, he drove all his subordinates out, and said with a smile: "This king heard that the prince has gone to the Schiller family mine in the past two days?" ”

Kindness?

Smell a rat!

Could it be that the city lord of Filhan doubts himself?

After all, the act of inspecting the mine did make people feel that they were full of interest in the mine, and the so-called cooperation with the Lord of Filhan was entirely a matter of interests, and in their eyes, everything was based on interests. The city lord of Fillhan didn't know his true purpose, and it was normal for him to be suspicious. Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Exactly, only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles." How? Could it be that the city lord of Philhan doubted the sincerity of the cooperation between the king and the lord of the city? ”

"Haha...... The prince laughed, how could this king doubt the prince. ”

The city lord of Philhan laughed, his expression changed, and a meaningful sneer appeared on his face, and he said, "However, the Schiller family seems to be suspicious of the prince. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Does the prince know about the movements of the Schiller family early yesterday morning?"

"I want to hear about it."

"Yesterday morning, the old fox of Marca Schiller disappeared with several generals, and if the king guessed correctly, he may have sought out the magician who had been favored by the Schiller family; This is normal, after all, Maca Schiller has reached the point of fanaticism when he wants to break through the Heavenly Heavy Realm, not to mention that he has limited qualifications and is quite old, so he has no time to wait. The city lord of Filhan said lightly and continued: "However, there are several secret agents of the Schiller family who have strange whereabouts. ”

"Spy? How strange is it? Zhou Chen reacted immediately, but asked with a pretended puzzled face.

"The direction of those spies is Simon City, where the prince is." The city lord of Philhan stared at Zhou Chen word by word, trying to find clues from Zhou Chen's expression, but he failed, Zhou Chen was expressionless and did not show any shock; The city lord of Filhan smiled and continued to ask, "Doesn't the prince wonder why the Schiller family sent spies to Simon City?" What is the purpose? ”

"Haha......"

Zhou Chen laughed suddenly, and the city lord of Filhan, who was sitting on the side, was full of doubts.

"It seems that the lord of the castle, like Marka Schiller, is doubting the identity of this king!" Zhou Chen said with a wild smile.

"The king's secret agent only inferred that he discovered the whereabouts of the Schiller family's secret agent, and did not suspect the prince." The city lord of Philhan immediately put aside the relationship, thought about it, and continued: "What's more, whether the prince's identity is true or not, this king doesn't care at all; Simon City is too far away from Philhan City, and sending troops is not enough to help the king pacify, but the object of this king's cooperation is the prince, the prince himself. ”

"Oh?"

Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect the city lord of Filhan to say this.

This has been made clear.

No matter what Zhou Chen's identity is, as long as he sincerely cooperates and defeats the Schiller family, the cooperation will still be effective.

That's right, too!

For the Lord of Philhan, the elimination of the Schiller family was a top priority; As for himself, whether he is the prince of Simon City or not, it does not matter, if so, he will send several mines according to the contract; If not, it would be better, and it would be a hundred to slaughter Zhou Chen when the time comes.

How easy!

However, the words of the city lord of Philhan were obviously relaxing himself, and also hinted that he would solve the secret agent sent by the Schiller family, Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said: "Thank you Philhan city lord, this king believes that the cooperation between you and me will definitely be a win-win situation." ”
