Chapter Fifty-Eight: The City at Night Is Like a Sleeping Behemoth

The huge Nine Treasure Lotus lantern stands in the center of the city, and the transparent birdcage envelops it, which was originally regarded as a symbol of the blue yin, and seems to indicate some kind of mutation that is not so reassuring.

Thorn Paper Cloth exhaled a warm white mist in the wind of the winter night, she stood at the height of the flow of people, one after another calm orders came out of her mouth, and were accurately executed by those men in black, and the panicked crowd gradually calmed down under the comfort of the city lord's daughter, and evacuated this crowded and dangerous center in an orderly manner.

Thorn Paper never thought she would get into this job she was so far from ready for so soon, but that didn't mean she would back down.

"Hey." With an abrupt cry, Thorn Paper Yi turned around, but saw a man he was very familiar with was walking towards here against the flow of people, Ge Lian's face was vaguely anxious, and he looked at the delicately dressed girl: "We want to know, what happened tonight?" Where is the lord of the castle? ”

Thorn Paper knew what he said about us, but she couldn't answer his question, she shook her head lonely and smiled slightly: "I want to say, in fact, I probably don't know anything, but I just want to do what I can do now." ”

"But inform the head of the Ge family on my behalf." Thorn Paper knew her identity at the moment, and it was not the pale city lord's daughter.

At a time when her father's life and death were still uncertain there, she actually wanted to be the true master of this city lord, so in the face of this familiar friend, her tone came from a city lord: "If you can, inform the family master to evacuate the city first, and if it is convenient, provide me with a sufficiently elite guard." ”

Ge Lian looked at this friend who was completely different from his impression, and didn't know what made her change so much, but he couldn't help but answer.

"Understood."

At this moment, a dazzling white light suddenly bloomed on the high platform, as if someone had lit the grandest fireworks there.

An extremely strong coercion spread from the high platform to the surroundings, and it was an extremely awe-inspiring aura.

Almost imperial.

The originally noisy square fell silent in an instant, and Thorn Paper was almost suffocated by the breath of pressure, and she almost couldn't help but fall to her knees, she suddenly raised her right hand, and bit her teeth at her wrist.

Beads of bright red blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, and she maintained her clarity in her heart by the pain, because she knew that the high platform was not divided at this time.

Because, she no longer wants to bend her knees to others casually.

Ge Lian fell to his knees at the first wave of coercion, and he looked at the people in the dark as far as he could see, like a black ocean, and the familiar girl stood alone in the crowd, very conspicuous.

At this time, the white light of the high platform distorted, and instantly formed a white figure several feet high, Ge Lian looked intently, and saw that it was a young girl with long hair and ankle length, she spoke calmly, her voice was crisp but full of majesty.

"Hello, my people, I am Ye Qing, your ninth princess."

Her voice was so quiet, but it reached every corner of the city without hindrance.

"The change of fortune comes from the conspiracy of the enemies of the Empire, and at this moment, the power of the Empire has retaken the city."

"But this battle is far from over, and this city is about to become a battlefield, Ye Qing begs you to leave this city as soon as possible. I know that this is your homeland, and the pain of leaving your homeland is a pain that every Lanye citizen does not want to bear. ”

"But, I hope you can do that for the time being."

"Nine days, please give me nine days, and after nine days, I will return this city to you."

……

……

Ge Sheng stood in front of the window, looking at the huge white light and shadow and was silent, although the shadow was not Ye Qing's real appearance, but before this, all kinds of changes on the high platform, he was the closest audience.

The black-haired boy looked at Ye Qing who was standing there not far away, the Xiao Jiu who he used to call his sister, felt strange and distant to the point of unimaginable.

"That's amazing." He said this with the bitterness in his tone like sand soaked in bile.

The black-clothed mage stood quietly beside him, and the situation that made people almost desperate only lasted for a moment, but it seemed as if it had lasted for a thousand years, but when she recovered, nothing seemed to have happened, and she stood there and spoke quietly:

"Don't cry."

"I think I want to cry." Ge Sheng raised his head and bit his lips slightly: "No wonder, it's so uncomfortable." ”

The boy spoke softly, his voice tired:

"Hey, I want to go home, can you take me back?"

……

……

After Ye Qing revealed his identity, the Thirteen Elders could no longer maintain his strength, Princess Lan Ye's presence in this city meant that the empire would mobilize the most powerful troops at all costs, which was far beyond the initial estimate, so he had no other way but to compromise.

At this moment, at the gate of Lanyin City, the lights were bright, and the pillars of fire burning with grease made a crackling sound, illuminating half of the city wall as if it were day.

Under the guard of a group of heavily armed soldiers, a long line of civilians at the lowest level of the city was slowly leaving the city, and each of them would be given a temporary resettlement fee of ten silver horns under the premise of ensuring the safety of their residences and property, and the destination was the nearest Zhiye City.

After all, this is a huge main city with a permanent population of 200,000, how can it not be evacuated overnight, and besides, it is left overnight, and under the premise that the danger is not yet clear, not many people are willing to try, and only civilians with few real estate and even merchants and homeless people living here will respond to the call of the city lord - this is still on the premise that the princess appears.

"You're really not leaving?" Ao Xuehua stood at the gate of the city and looked at the blue-haired middle-aged man in front of him, this somewhat respectable Lanyin City Lord: "Before noon tomorrow, the Lanye royal family will be settled, and the academy's movements will not be too slow, no matter what the intentions of the dark star are at that time, this is no longer a place that you can control." ”

Thorn Li smiled and looked back at the city that was still shrouded in lights but was faintly gloomy: "Your Highness, you should know that I have spent fifty years in this city, so long that I have forgotten how to go to a new city, how to leave everything familiar and start a new life. ”

"I really don't know what's going to happen in this city after tonight, and I've almost done something wrong, but at this moment, I think it's my duty to look at this city."

He looked at the princess of Oss: "After all, I am the master of the city, and no father has left his children. ”

Ye Qing was silent and then spoke: "Then, what else do you want." ”

Thorn scratched his head and said with a smile: "I may not really die here, princess, don't talk like that." Then he paused and said seriously: "If you can, please ask the princess to vouch for Yi'er to take my place." ”
