Chapter 55, Meteorite City Lord!

Just when Helianno was full of doubts, the thoughtful shopkeeper had already sent fragrant soup for the two of them to bathe and relieve their fatigue, and after the two of them finished cleaning and changing their clothes, they diligently sent a few exquisite side dishes, Helianno racked his brains and couldn't guess what conspiracy Ling Xiao had, so he simply ate and drank, and the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, no matter what conspiracy you have, Lao Tzu is a person who has just picked up a life and come back, what else is there to be afraid of!

After eating and drinking, Heliannuo carefully checked Lei Shuo's injuries, although there were only a few not too serious sword wounds on the surface of Lei Shuo's body, but the inside of his body was already in chaos, because in a short period of time, he used the human-level soul technique Thunder Whirlwind Slash, which caused great damage to his body, and many muscles in Lei Shuo's body were damaged to varying degrees, Heliannuo took out two Soul Yuan Holy Fruits and squeezed out the juice and fed them to him, thinking that if the Nine Treasure Turtle was there, these injuries would be completely recovered overnight, but unfortunately now the whereabouts of Jiubao and the ball are unknown, so they have to use these elixirs brought out from the depths of the demon moon to treat, although the effect of the elixir is also extremely amazing, but Lei Shuo's injury is too serious, and if he wants to fully recover, he may have to be patient and recuperate for a while.

Sang Xiao had been pacing back and forth in the room, as if he had something to say, and at this moment, seeing that Helian Nuo had settled down Lei Shuo, he hurriedly came up and said, "Brother Helian, I don't know why, I always feel that Ling Xiao seems to be too enthusiastic about us, will this be ...... Could it be that there is some conspiracy hidden?"

Helenor nodded when he heard this, and said in his heart that now you realize that something is wrong, didn't you have a good impression of Ling Xiao before? He also told people frankly the purpose of this trip, and I am afraid that more than half of everything he has encountered now must be your credit! But this is not the time to be angry, so he replied honestly: " Well, I also feel this way, although I don't know what Ling Xiao's intentions are in doing this, but at least I am sure that he will never be so enthusiastic about us two first-time people for no reason, he must have a plan, but, what does he want from us?"

"It's better for us to go to the City Lord's Mansion early tomorrow morning and dedicate Tuoba Tao's head to the City Lord, so that we can find a backer in this unfamiliar Meteorite City as soon as possible, what do you say, Brother Helian?", although Sang Xiao was not stupid, he couldn't think of what Ling Xiao could plot against his two ordinary children, so he had to suggest that he go to meet the City Lord earlier, no matter what, first stabilize in this Meteorite City.

Heliannuo snorted, acquiescing to Sang Xiao's suggestion, indeed, at present, it seems that his side is unconsciously in a completely passive situation, he is extremely tired of this feeling of being led by others, it's time to regain the initiative!

The morning in Meteor City is very noisy, the sound of hawking, horses' hooves, and wheels rolling over the road are intertwined, and there are no birds and insects here, but only a bustling scene.

Ling Xiao was dressed in black, sitting leisurely on a bamboo chair with his eyes slightly closed, fiddling with a delicately crafted snuffbox in his hand, he still stayed in the hidden shadow under the city gate, and he seemed to have merged with the darkness.

There are not many people in this world who enjoy darkness, and Ling Xiao is one.

Gently, a cat-like soft footsteps came, Ling Xiao's eyelids moved slightly, but he never opened them, just asked in a low voice, "Is there any news about those two little ghosts?"

The footsteps suddenly stopped, and an equally soft voice replied: "Yes, hall master, Mr. Sang just sent a message from the pigeon team that those two boys went out early in the morning, and it seemed that they were heading in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion in the carriage!"

"City Lord's Mansion, immediately let the people of the pigeon team inform the City Lord, I don't care if he has any important things today, no matter what, I must take time to meet those two little ghosts!", Ling Xiao slowly opened his eyes and issued an order categorically.

"Yes, my subordinates will do it!", the gentle footsteps quickly moved away, and only Ling Xiao's voice was left in the darkness: "It's really getting more and more interesting, those two little ghosts, are they going to the City Lord's Mansion to redeem the big gift they said?"

Helian Nuo and Sang Xiao naturally didn't know that their every move had been monitored by others, and at this moment they had already driven the broken carriage to the front of the City Lord's Mansion, but for some reason, the building in front of them, which was supposed to be the center of a city, looked very dilapidated, not only was it not as good as the Yuelai Inn they saw yesterday, but even the ordinary mansion looked much more magnificent than it, here, is it really the City Lord's Mansion of Meteorite City?

Heliannuo and Sang Xiao stood in front of this dilapidated building in a daze, and were thinking about whether to go in, when a middle-aged man in a gray robe walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, and went straight to the two of them to meet them, and before they got close, they hugged their fists and said with a smile: "The two of you are distinguished guests from Lanyue City, please please hurry up, the city lord has been waiting inside for a long time!"

"Uh, this ......", Sang Xiao turned his head to look at Heliano in a daze, and found that the latter also had an incredible expression, could it be that the tradition of this Meteorite City is hospitality? You must know that in Lanyue City, unless you are a high-ranking official and noble, you don't even want to enter the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, but here, someone from the City Lord's Mansion of this Meteorite City actually took the initiative to go out to greet these two powerless children, and listening to his tone, the city lord above 10,000 people was actually waiting for them in the mansion, this ...... When did Lanyue visitors become so popular?

Helian Nuo and Sang Xiao had a feeling of flattery, they stood in place and did not move, and the man who came out to greet him turned around to lead the way after speaking, and looked back after walking for a long time to see that the two children did not follow, so they had to return and repeat: "The two of you are invited, my city lord is waiting for the two of you inside!"

Heliannuo and Sang Xiao glanced at each other, then nodded, and motioned for the man in gray to step forward to lead the way, but he himself was behind and quietly hid the wolf dagger in his sleeve, Sang Xiao also pinched a few darts in his hand, ready to take the lead in attacking whenever something was wrong, and he couldn't fall into this city lord's mansion no matter what.

The two had long expected that this trip would not be too light, so they left Lei Shuo, who was seriously injured and unconscious, at the Yuelai Inn in advance, and deliberately let the little wolf stay for protection as a precaution, although everything seems to be calm so far, but who knows what fatal crisis is hidden under this calm appearance, neither of them dares to be careless, and is careful to be vigilant.

The area of the city lord's mansion was not very large, and within a while, the man in gray led the two of them to a hall, and the man in gray stopped, turned around and said, "Two of you, please come in, the city lord is in the hall!", after speaking, he walked in the opposite direction.

Sang Xiao said in a low voice: "Brother Helian, don't you feel that there is something wrong in this City Lord's Mansion? You say, will there be ...... in this hall?" Could it be that there is some ambush hidden?"

Helianno nodded, indeed, as soon as he entered this city lord's mansion, he already had a strange feeling, he had been walking before and didn't feel it, but when he stopped at this moment, he finally understood that something was wrong, here, it was too quiet!

Different from the noise on the street outside, the silence in this city lord's mansion is extremely terrifying, not only is there no sound of anyone talking, not even a birdsong and insects can be heard, there seems to be no sign of life here, Helianor even suspects that except for the gray-clothed man who led the way just now, there is probably no living life in this dilapidated city lord's mansion!

Sang Xiao swallowed with difficulty, the atmosphere here was too depressing, he desperately hoped that a third person besides the two of them would appear in front of him now, even if it was an enemy!

"Since you're here, why don't you come in and have a look?", suddenly, an old voice sounded in the silent courtyard, and there was no life in the voice at all, dry and hard like a ghost.

Helenor was startled by the sudden sound, then gritted his teeth, clenched the dagger in his hand, and walked into the hall in the direction from which the sound came.

Seeing this, Sang Xiao hurriedly followed, he didn't want to stay alone in this weird courtyard, even if the hall was a Longtan tiger's den!

Compared to the decay outside, the furnishings in the hall were much richer, with a few benches, a few tables, a dozen tea bowls, and a few calligraphy and paintings of ancient colors hanging on the walls, all of which were covered with a thick layer of dust, as if they had not been swept for a long time.

In the center of a Taishi chair, at this moment is sitting a skinny old man, the old man's face cheekbones are high, cloudy eyes are staring directly without focus, a well-made gown seems to have been for some years, although the cleaning is quite clean, but the layers of patches on it still show the embarrassment of the old man's life, for some reason, the old man's face can still see a trace of arrogance, but this look is so out of tune with everything in the hall.

Heliannuo looked at the old man for a long time, then stepped forward and bowed down and said, "In Heliannuo, come from Lanyue City to meet the Meteorite City Lord!"

"What? You said he ...... He is...... He is the Meteorite City Lord?", Sang Xiao looked at the ragged old man and asked in surprise.

The old man sitting on the Taishi chair smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said with difficulty: "I didn't expect that I can still be visited by others now, yes, I am the city lord of this Meteorite City, Ling Yun!"
