Yue Chen smirked and no longer hesitated, put the metal box into his pocket and looked around, and said, "We've been out for so long, and I don't know what happened to my father-in-law, since the things have been sold out, it's better to go back!"

"Hmm. Zi Muyu nodded lightly, she was also a little tired after coming out to play for so long, and at this moment, the colorful dragon scale snake had arrived, and she urgently needed to find a quiet and suitable place, so that Yue Chen could cultivate the colorful dragon snake body with peace of mind.

The two of them quickly left Fang City and returned the same way in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, and the fast progress all the way was more than half the time it took to go to Fang City before, but the tall castle pavilion of the Kung Fu City Lord's Mansion with half a cup of tea appeared in the sight of the two.

Yue Chen was just about to speed up and rush to the City Lord's Mansion, when Zi Muyu suddenly grabbed Yue Chen and hid in a blind spot on the corner of the street.

"What's wrong?"

Yue Chen turned back and asked with a somewhat puzzled look, Zi Muyu pouted at the City Lord's Mansion not far away and said, "Didn't you find any problems?"

Yue Chen looked in the direction of Zi Muyu's eyes, and saw that there was an additional team of well-equipped city guards at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion at some point, and the silver spear exuded a bit of a calm aura, and it didn't look like it was just coming to guard the gate.

"This is ......" Yue Chen looked at the group of people with a look of surprise, he didn't have such a strict guard when he left the City Lord's Mansion not long ago, it was only a few hours, why was the garrison of the City Lord's Mansion so strict.

"I'm afraid something happened!" Yue Chen turned his head to Zi Muyu and said, his immature face was full of a serious look, Zi Muyu slapped his head hard and rolled his eyes and said: "Nonsense, fools can see it, if something doesn't happen, the city guards can come here." ”

Yue Chen rubbed his head and said helplessly: "Then should we go over?" Turning his head to look at the city guards at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion in the distance, even if he was so far away, he could faintly feel the aura of slaughter coming from there.

Zi Muyu patted his little head a little helplessly and said: "You see that the guards that were supposed to be stationed in the City Lord's Mansion are gone, and they have been replaced by the city defense army, and only the city lord of Starfall City has the right to transfer in this Starfall City, and your father-in-law also went to see the City Lord of Starfall City before, I'm afraid it will ......."

"Are you guessing that this matter has something to do with my father-in-law?" Yue Chen couldn't help but look at Zi Muyu's analysis, and said with some surprise.

"I'm afraid it could be very big. Zi Muyu looked at Yue Chen and nodded: "Judging from the defensive posture of this city defense army, it seems that they are guarding against something inside the City Lord's Mansion, and in this City Lord's Mansion, I am afraid that the only person who can make the City Lord so guarded is your father-in-law." ”

Yue Chen frowned slightly, looked at the City Lord's Mansion in the distance, and felt a little more anxious: "No matter what, we have to find a way to understand what is going on inside!"

"Hmm!" Zi Muyu nodded lightly, looked at Yue Chen and asked, "What are we going to do?"

"It's useless to be anxious now, the City Lord's Mansion is now heavily guarded, with the strength of you and me, if you break in, I'm afraid it will be a sheep's mouth. Yuechen lowered his head and said slowly while thinking about it: "Let's wait here to observe the situation first, and when the time comes, it's best to grab a tongue and figure out the situation first." ”

Looking at Yue Chen, who was leaning against the wall and falling into contemplation, Zi Muyu also nodded slowly, and the two of them found a teahouse with a wide view nearby, ordered some food, and sat at the window on the second floor.

Time passed little by little, but the sun of the two teas gradually set slowly down the west mountain, with a dazzling orange-red light reflected in this teahouse, and this teahouse gradually became more and more lively because of the passage of time.

"Hey, what did you say happened to this city lord's mansion, suddenly it was so heavily guarded, and even the city guards were called over. On the tea table in front of Yue Chen, a pair of guests looked out the window and discussed.

"Hehe, brother, you don't know, do you know that the city lord was seriously injured when he was attacked by the demon clan a few days ago. A bearded man on the opposite tea table said mysteriously to a scholar in Tsing Yi opposite.

"Of course I know this, the city lord was seriously injured by a sneak attack to fight the two masters of the demon clan alone, killing one person and seriously injuring one person far away, but this demon clan is also arrogant, and his own demon domain is not waiting to come to the land of my human race, if it weren't for the strength of the city lord, I'm afraid they will really let them succeed." When the man in Tsing Yi said this, there was a bit of resentment in his eyes, and he was afraid that every human race was a little disgusted with the demon clan.

"Not bad. The bearded man took a sip of the tea in his hand and nodded: "Although the city lord defeated the demon clan, he was seriously injured, so he invited Tao Xuan, the head of the Tao family, to come to Starfall City to assist him in healing." ”

"The head of the Tao family, that's the strongest master of our Starfall City besides the city lord!" "The scholar in Tsing Yi heard Tao Xuan's name, and there was a little more reverence in his eyes, after all, the strong in this world are respected, and who is not reverent and yearns for the strong.

Yue Chen couldn't help but prick up his ears when he heard this, and listened intently, although the words in this teahouse were not necessarily the truth of the matter, but from the things that were passed on in it, he could learn some clues.

"You only know one thing but you don't know the other!" the bearded man shook his head and sighed: "Today's vigilance in this City Lord's Mansion is because of this Tao Xuan!"

When the scholar in Tsing Yi heard this, he immediately became interested, and hurriedly poured tea for the big man and asked anxiously: "What the hell is going on!"

Looking at the scholar's anxious look, Dahan's eyes couldn't help but have a little more smug look, and he leaned over mysteriously and whispered: "This is what my brother-in-law who just came down from the City Lord's Mansion told me not long ago, this Tao Xuan is a member of the demon clan, and he approached the city lord under the pretext of healing and killed the seriously injured city lord!"

"What!" The scholar in Tsing Yi was shocked and couldn't help but shout, the look of surprise in his eyes made the people around him instantly gather their eyes, the scholar hurriedly hugged his fists around and apologized, and then leaned over to the bearded man and whispered: "Is this true?

"Of course!" Dahan nodded seriously and said, "It is said that the city lord desperately stopped Tao Xuan and asked the captain of the guard, Fran, to mobilize the city defense army to surround the city lord's mansion with the city lord's order, which trapped him in it." ”

"But I heard that the Tao family was attacked by the demon clan just a month ago!" said the scholar in Tsing Yi puzzled.

"Cut, who knows if it's a bitter meat trick to win the trust of the city lord!" The big man pouted with some disdain: "If the demon clan really attacks, how can their Tao family be unscathed......"

............

Hearing the discussion at the table, Yue Chen's fists were unconsciously clenched together, and the whole person began to exude a faint anger.

"Yuechen, calm down. Zi Muyu gently held his hand and whispered: "The originally calm expression is also a little angry at the moment, after all, anyone who hears such nonsense will be angry." ”

"It's fine. Yue Chen took a deep breath and eased his expression, and said with a pale face: "If it's really like what they said, I guess it must be that this Starfall City Guard Fran is doing ghosts." ”

"Hmm!" Zi Muyu nodded in agreement and said, "Then what should we do, do we have to find a way to break through?"

"Wait, with the strength of my father-in-law, it shouldn't be difficult to protect myself even if he can't escape. Yue Chen obviously calmed down a little after taking a few deep breaths: "I'll wait until after dark to find a way to enter the City Lord's Mansion and find my father-in-law first, and then make plans." ”

"What do you call me, you go in by yourself, what about me!" Zi Muyu said when Yue Chen didn't count himself into it, obviously a little unhappy.

"Now the situation inside is unknown, I'm afraid the two of us are the only ones who escaped this time, we can't all be cut off here, if I don't come out tomorrow morning, you can go back to the Tao family and ask the Great Elder to find a way." Yue Chen looked at Zi Muyu and said lightly.

"I don't want it!" Zi Muyu was obviously not moved by Yue Chen's reason and refused.

"Mu Yu, you have to do this! if we both fail to go in, no one will be able to send a message to the Tao family, then we will really be in a desperate situation!" Yue Chen said to Zi Muyu a little sternly, Zi Muyu looked up at Yue Chen slightly, although she understood that Yue Chen said this for his safety, but she also had to admit that the probability of this possibility was extremely high, if neither of them could send back the news, I am afraid that everyone in the Tao family in this city would be completely in a desperate situation, but let Yue Chen enter this dangerous city lord's mansion alone, Zi Muyu's heart was full of worry, after all, the current situation is probably not something that can be resolved peacefully.

"Hmph!" Zi Muyu turned her head and snorted and didn't speak, Yue Chen looked at her angry appearance and suddenly reached out and grabbed Zi Muyu's little hand with a little gentle look and said, "Don't worry, my current strength is not my opponent, I still have to work hard to cultivate and go to your house to propose marriage." ”

Zi Muyu was slightly stunned, surprisingly did not refute and shyly backhanded, interlocked her fingers with Yuechen, and said lightly: "If you dare not come out, I will not be finished with you." ”

Yue Chen was slightly stunned and then smiled softly, looking at Zi Muyu's immature and beautiful little face, she couldn't help but pinch it and said, "Of course I will come out with such a beautiful future daughter-in-law." ”

"Hmph, you're really shameless!" Zi Muyu glanced at him fiercely, hesitated for a moment and said, "If the situation is critical, you can take out the colorful dragon scale snake and eat it!"

Yue Chen was slightly stunned, looking at Zi Muyu's serious expression and nodded slowly, the time of time flies and the sunset is always very short, and within a quarter of an hour, the sky began to gradually darken, and the people in the teahouse gradually became scarce.

Yue Chen pulled Zi Muyu and left the teahouse to a dark place on the corner of the street, took out a set of black clothes from the space pocket and changed into them, and looked at the city guards who were still patrolling in the distance, and his eyes gradually became cold.

The action is about to begin in the next moment.
