Chapter 4: Aroma and Poison Gas (II)
Root sat cautiously in front of Zilong, his lips trembling and he wanted to say something, but he never spoke, after a long time, he seemed to have finally made up his mind, and said in a cautious tone: "Your Excellency, I am deeply sorry for Auman's offending Miss, Your Excellency's punishment for him is naturally deserved, and I am willing to make any compensation, so can Your Excellency..."
Zilong naturally understood the meaning of Lute's words, he deliberately made a gesture that he didn't understand, and changed the topic: "City Lord and others, I heard that you love reading very much, and you can say that you are well-read, and you have a lot of rare ancient books collected at home, and even spent a lot of money to collect them on the mainland, is this true?"
"Huh?" Rout didn't understand why the other party suddenly changed the topic, but what Rutt said was also a figure who had been rolling in high society for decades, and then understood that the other party didn't want to talk about this topic, or what conditions he wanted to take this opportunity to make, although he was resentful in his heart, but the life and death of the only heir was still in his hands, so he had to smile and say: "I don't dare to be well-read, but I have a lot of books in my house." Qb V. CoМ"
"I don't know if I have the honor to read the collection of books of the city lord, in fact, I am also very interested in books, but I don't have the same conditions as the city lord. Zilong smiled brightly, although he didn't have much hope for Root's collection, but Zilong had to try his best to see it if he had the slightest opportunity. Although he found some unknown things in the Gada Academy, he did not make any progress on Zilong and his relationship with himself, although he found the Blood Clotting Valley with the clues on the tenth floor of the library, but the beads obtained from it did not know what to do with Zilong. And during this time, Yuanzhu is still absorbing his vitality, although he has not absorbed much, and the speed is extremely slow, but this kind of thing that has not been returned to Zilong does not want to do it anymore.
"It is indeed my pleasure that Your Excellency is interested in my collection, and if you do not dislike it, you can come to the City Lord's Mansion often, and you can look at the books in the library as you like. It was very strange why the other party would put forward such a condition, such a winning chip in his hand, even if he wanted all his money, he had to give in, and why the other party only proposed such an innocuous condition, Root was confused, and he couldn't think clearly anyway.
After calling the housekeeper and instructing the housekeeper not to stop them when they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion in the future, he personally went to get the key to the library and told Zilong the detailed location of the library.
"City Lord, please take us to see your son" got the promise he wanted, Zilong of course had to show his sincerity, and Ouman must have learned his due lesson now.
"Okay, okay, please come with me. Rute happily agreed, seeing that Zilong was preparing to save his son, and gratefully took Zilong and a few people outside.
After passing through the corridor decorated with various murals and walking through the staircase made of white jade, several people came to the top floor of the City Lord's Mansion, from which they could see almost the whole city.
Pushing open the jade-white door, a staccato moan came to everyone's ears, Auman's room can be described as extremely luxurious, occupying the entire floor, in the center of the room is a small bath, the water reflects the brilliant blue light against the blue stone wall. In the other corner of the room is a large bed that can allow several people to lie flat without being too crowded, bright and soft silk sheets are spread under the bed, the extremely elastic bed is deeply sunken, and under the quilt is a pale face.
Seeing the arrival of several people, several maids who were gathered in front of the bed to wipe Ouman's sweat hurriedly retreated, and Lut walked to the bed in a few steps, seeing Ouman's pale face, a painful expression flashed on his face, and he looked at Zilong and the others with pleading eyes.
At Zilong's suggestion, Karachith took out a transparent glass bottle, which could clearly see the viscous green liquid inside, he walked to the bed, pinched Auman's chin, and poured the liquid down as he had done last time.
At the moment after the liquid entered, Ouman's body suddenly began to shake violently, his eyes opened violently, staring at the ceiling blankly, his whole body was twitching violently, Rute hurriedly wanted to suppress Ouman's body, but Ouman's appearance seemed crazy, where could Rut suppress.
"There is no need to waste your efforts, this is the inevitable reaction after taking the antidote, and he will naturally get better after a while. Karachith looked coldly at Ruth's futile actions and said lightly.
Sure enough, as Karachith had said, after a few minutes Uman was quiet, and although his face was still pale, he no longer groaned in pain, and slept very peacefully, and Root was relieved and told his servants to take care of it.
"City Lord, I hope that Ling Gongzi can learn a lesson this time, otherwise I really don't know what will happen next time. Zilong tactfully warned Rutte, hoping that Auman would not provoke Qixiang again.
"What Your Excellency said is that it was my improper education that allowed Auman to do such a rude thing, which is really a disgrace to the nobility. Rout said with a sigh.
"Your Excellency, the banquet will not start until the afternoon, so please rest here for a while, and when the banquet begins, I will inform a few more people, and now I have important things to do, so I can't accompany you. "There are still many nobles who have arrived in the mansion, and Lut still needs to accompany these guests, so naturally he doesn't have too much time to delay here, and now that Auman's poison has been solved, and his mind is over, of course he still needs to go back to entertain the nobles who keep coming.
Zilong understood Root's embarrassment very well, and said that he didn't mind being led out of this building by the servant sent by Root, and walked towards the rear of the City Lord's Mansion, where there was a very unique building, with a blue appearance and a star-shaped shape, which was specially built to entertain guests, and was named Juxing Tower. Zilong didn't think the name was very suitable, because there were no stars at night on the Lixi Continent, so how could they gather stars.
The door of Juxing Tower was also full of traffic, a noble nobleman walked into the building under the leadership of the servant, suddenly, Zilong saw a very familiar figure in the crowd, obviously that person also noticed him, after being stunned for a moment, he quickly ran towards Zilong.
"Brother Zilong, I really didn't expect to see you here, why don't you say goodbye, I've been looking for you for a while, for fear that something will happen to you. Zi Lingfeng was really happy to see Zilong, and his excited expression was impressively displayed on his face.
In fact, Zilong didn't expect to meet Zi Lingfeng here at all, but if you think about it carefully, Zi Lingfeng is also a nobleman, and he has pure blue eyes, so there is nothing wrong with appearing here.
"I'm sorry I didn't have time to inform you because of the urgency of time. From Zi Lingfeng's words, a strong sense of concern could be heard, which made Zilong's heart warm.
Zi Lingfeng really cared about Zilong, and when Zilong disappeared, his first thought was what his father had done to him, even killing him. His father's sense of responsibility is extremely strong, and for the safety of the Lixi Continent, he can do anything, and thinking of his father's attitude towards Zilong, this idea is even stronger. But in his heart, no matter what Zilong's identity was, he didn't do anything hurtful, if he killed an innocent person just because of the future of the Lixi Continent, he couldn't accept it, not to mention that person was still his friend.
For this reason, he had an argument with Zi Qianhua, and it happened that the lord of Nasu City was holding a banquet, and he took the opportunity to leave the house to avoid unpleasantness with his revered father. It's just that what he never expected was that he actually met Zilong here, and when he caught a glimpse of him in the crowd, the excitement in his heart could not be described in words, and at the same time, guilt for his father also surged in his heart, and he actually doubted the father he had always loved.
However, he also knew that the conflict between his father and Zilong would happen sooner or later, and when the results of his investigation were placed on his father's desk, his father's slightly frowning brows and the ruthlessness of that moment had already shown everything, Zilong did not belong to this world, but he would stand in the highest position in this world, and no one could predict what those nobles and city lords would do. There may really be no way to stop the impending crisis except for Zilong to disappear, maybe only the legendary fifty-two city lords can, but no one knows where the fifty-two city lords live in seclusion and whether they are still alive, so maybe one day my father and his friends will stand on opposite sides.
