Chapter 40: Sudden realization

"It's strange, there were so many people when I came, why are there no one now?" Fang Ziyan wondered, she walked along the corridor to the other side, but she was a little lucky in her heart, in case she walked out.

The corridor on this meditation lake is really long, and when she came to the end, Fang Ziyan was slightly tired, she found a stool, sat on it and pounded her legs, carefully thinking about the way she came.

This is undoubtedly a mess for Fang Ziyan, who doesn't have a strong sense of direction, and the more she thinks about it, the more chaotic she becomes, and in the end she doesn't know which way to go.

As the sun set, Fang Ziyan sat on the grass exhausted, rubbing her calves while looking at the sky, only to feel that this place was like a labyrinth, no matter how she went around, she couldn't get out of it.

"Girl, why are you still here?" The attendant who had brought Fang Ziyan to the City Lord's Mansion before was holding a plate of food in his hand, he was quite surprised when he saw Fang Ziyan, as if he thought that Fang Ziyan should have left a long time ago.

"You're just in time, can you take me out?" There's no one here, and I don't know how to get out. Fang Ziyan got up from the ground, this attendant came too timely, like nectar in a drought.

"Then you have to wait for me, I will send dinner to the city lord." The attendant said in a tangled voice.

Fang Ziyan looked at the plate in the attendant's hand, and then remembered that he had something to do.

"Then I'll go with you, and then take me out when you finish your dinner." Fang Ziyan was easy-going.

"Okay, then you come with me." The squire's expression soothed.

"Where have all the maids and attendants in your house gone? I haven't seen any of them. Fang Ziyan wondered, she hadn't seen anyone along the way.

"The girl may not know that the maids and attendants have all gone to the back mountain to practice martial arts, and they should all eat in the cafeteria at this time."

"Huh? You maids here still have to practice martial arts? ”

"Naturally, the city lord hopes that everyone can have a healthy body, so that they can serve the city lord well." The squire said with a smile.

There is nothing wrong with it, Fang Ziyan nodded, but she touched her stomach, she had been walking for most of the day, and her stomach was already hungry with her chest against her back, and she didn't know if she could ask for some food when she saw the city lord.

After walking for half an hour, I came to a courtyard full of pear trees, and at this time the trees were blooming with white flowers, and the flowers were charming.

"Oh, this flower looks so dizzy, I'm a little sleepy." Fang Ziyan rubbed her eyes, she just looked at these flowers for a while, and she felt dizzy.

"This is the pear tree that the city lord loves, and it doesn't let us look at it on weekdays, saying that it hurts our eyes." The squire had already pushed open a door as he spoke, and he placed his plate on the table and quietly looked inside.

"Shhh, the city lord is still resting, put this thing here first, and I'll take you out of the house." The squire quietly pushed out and closed the door.

"Attendant Wang, you can make it easy for me to find it, where have you been these days, have you done the sword of the city lord?" A voice came from around the corner, and a man in a gray shirt came from that side.

"Oh, I've been busy with martial arts competitions and recruiting relatives in the past few days, and I've forgotten about the sword, no, no, I have to hurry up, otherwise the city will punish me." After the attendant finished speaking, he left in a hurry, and handed Fang Ziyan to the man in gray when he left, and asked him to help take him out of the house.

"I'm still busy getting medicinal herbs, so I don't have time to walk around with you, so you can find someone else." After the man in gray saw Fang Ziyan, he threw down this sentence and strode away with his sleeves flailed.

At this time, the attendant just now had already left, Fang Ziyan looked left and right, and didn't know what to do.

There was a little movement in the room behind her, Fang Ziyan turned around, and saw the city lord standing at the door.

"You...... How did it end up here? "The city lord probably wanted to ask why you hadn't left yet, but when he saw Fang Ziyan's face flushed, he changed his speech.

Even if the city lord changed his words, Fang Ziyan's face was still red, she had grown so big, it was the first time she had lost her way in the mansion, and I am afraid that no one would believe it.

"I think the scenery here is very good, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to see it again after I go out, so I'm reluctant to leave." Fang Ziyan thought about it, and then came up with a good excuse.

"If you like...... Stay here for a few days, and I'll call someone to clean up your room. The city lord did not suspect him, so he directly called the maid over and asked the maid to clean up a room and come out.

The maid said that she would come here to call the girl after cleaning up, and Fang Ziyan stayed at the door of the city lord's room.

The city lord in the room invited Fang Ziyan in, and there were three dishes on the table, all of which were meat and vegetarian combinations, and they were not as luxurious as they imagined.

Seeing these dishes, Fang Ziyan couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

'Gollum'

The voice came from Fang Ziyan's stomach, and she smiled embarrassedly at the city lord, her face could not hide the embarrassment.

The lord of the city is so reasonable, and she not only refused to marry him, but also ate lunch at his house, and now she is still eyeing dinner, which is really a little bad.

Every grain of rice should be thought about is not easy to come by, although he is a city lord, he naturally doesn't care about these, but Fang Ziyan doesn't dare to be too presumptuous.

"Would you like to sit down and eat a piece?" The city lord heard the voice in Fang Ziyan's stomach and invited after sitting down.

"No, I'm not hungry." It was difficult to take her eyes off the plate, but this smoked chicken nugget was very delicious to look at, the taste was sweet and spicy, and the smell of food wafted in the air, so that she couldn't be moved.

"You better eat some, dinner probably won't be delivered here again." The city lord picked up the chopsticks, but he didn't mean to continue to let Fang Ziyan eat.

As soon as Fang Ziyan heard that there might not be anything to eat at night, she immediately sat down, "Then I'm welcome." Rolling up her sleeves and picking up chopsticks, she immediately began to eat.

When she was eating, she found that there were two pairs of chopsticks here, and this person should not be unpredictable, that is, there are usually two pairs of chopsticks here?

"I don't know the name of the city lord yet, what is your name, city lord?" Fang Ziyan ate the spicy smoked chicken, but felt that it was delicious in the world, this food was so delicious, I am afraid that I will never be able to eat this kind of smoked chicken anywhere else, so I must eat more.

"Xuanyuan Ming." Xuanyuan ate the food in his mouth slowly and methodically, and then spoke.

"It turned out to be the Lord of Xuanyuan City." Fang Ziyan suddenly realized, but she didn't know what she suddenly realized, she suddenly remembered that she had never heard the name of the Xuanyuan City Lord at all, it seemed that the people of the Imperial Dragon City didn't care too much about what the city lord was called, the people of Golden Rooster City were generally called the Dragon City Lord of the Imperial Dragon City, at that time Fang Ziyan thought that this city lord's surname was Long.

It turned out to be called Xuanyuan, Fang Ziyan was eating the food, thinking in her head, and then she understood what she had just realized.

As soon as she put down the dishes and chopsticks, the maid came.

Fang Ziyan left with the maid, and when she left, she found that Xuanyuan Ming was in a daze at the pair of dishes and chopsticks, looking very innocent, not at all like the outside world rumored.

"Is that person really your city lord here?" Fang Ziyan walked into the room, tried the softness and hardness of the bed, and felt that everything was very good.

The maid was waiting on the side, for fear that there would be something inadequate.

"Naturally." The maid said.

"But it feels very different from the rumors, and I thought it was a very murderous person." Fang Ziyan had always wondered, what an ambitious person this city lord of Dragon City was, he was not the same person as the person she had seen. She was a little skeptical that the one she saw was the lord of Dragon City.

The maid smiled after hearing this, "Girl, don't listen to nonsense outside, our city lord is the best city lord in the world, everything is for our sake, and being able to serve the city lord in the mansion is already a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes." The happiness on the girl's face was about to overflow, and what she said was sincere, not like she was telling a lie at all.

When the maid left, Fang Ziyan blew out the candles, and still wondered in her heart, this city lord's mansion in Dragon City was very strange, and there were strange things in many places, which really made people wonder, there must be some secrets here.

In the middle of the night, the wind was blowing, Fang Ziyan was called by the wind, she opened her eyes, and saw the pear blossom trees outside the window shaking wildly, like a group of demons dancing.

"How is it so similar to that night." Fang Ziyan muttered, but she couldn't sleep.

The night she said was the night before Lang Yong married her, there must have been a strong wind, and the next morning she got the bad news that Lang Yong was with Fang Yuer.

It was the same night, and she couldn't sleep anymore, always thinking that something was going to happen, but when she thought about it, there was nothing worth thinking about.

"Woo woo woo ......"

A faint cry came from nowhere.

In this dark night, hearing such a cry, Fang Ziyan only felt creepy, she touched the sword beside her, and the sword was still by her side.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The cry is still faint, but it can make people feel where the cry is, and listening to this direction, it should be on the side of the meditation lake.

This meditation lake is not too far from here, but it is not close either. It stands to reason that the sound shouldn't have reached here, but why did it come here? Who's crying? And for what?

Once there is a doubt in her heart, she wants to solve this question, Fang Ziyan is impatient again, she jumped off the bed, held the sword in her hand, opened the door and walked out.

The moonlight shone on the pear trees, and the pear trees in the whole yard shook wildly, and the pear blossoms kept fluttering, falling and flying, as if someone was controlling them.

The flowers are charming, Fang Ziyan can't pass through the pear blossom tree, she walks along the corridor all the way, but she doesn't dare to look at the pear tree, one is that in the evening, the attendant said that it hurts her eyes too much, but she is afraid of dizziness, just a glance at it and she feels dizzy.

Under the moonlight, Fang Ziyan walked to the side of the Meditation Lake, her voice became clearer and clearer, and this cry came from a house next to the Meditation Lake.
