Chapter 1154: Recuperation
Because of the reason why Yu'er was injured by Lin Xiao, almost the entire City Lord's Mansion knew about it. Long Yuyan stayed by Yu'er's side and took care of him every day.
On this day, the city lord suddenly had a whim, and slowly walked to Yu'er's side accompanied by his subordinates, but as soon as he walked into the courtyard, he heard the voice of Long Yuyan chatting with Yu'er.
The city lord immediately motioned for the inferior cultivator to leave, and he hid his aura by himself, and slowly approached Yu'er's room against the wall.
In the room, Yu'er and Long Yuyan were chatting, Long Yuyan didn't know what she said, and the city lord heard Yu'er laugh a few times: "No matter what the emperor says, he is also your brother, and he will definitely not harm you." ”
For a while, the city lord's brows furrowed tightly, Long Yuyan was actually the emperor's sister? I don't know what came to mind, his brows furrowed again, and his face was replaced with a smile like a spring breeze.
Turning away from the vicinity of the room, the new city lord swaggered in from outside the courtyard again, this time deliberately making a noise to make the people in the room think that he had just arrived.
"Miss Yuyan, Son Yu'er, are you two here?"
The conversation between Long Yuyan and Yu'er immediately stopped, and the city lord relied on his cultivation, even if he heard that it was quiet inside, he didn't have any special expression, but instead hooked a shallow smile on his face.
"Yes, is there anything going on with the city lord?" Long Yuyan packed up her things, then walked out of the room and slowly walked in front of the city lord.
When the city lord saw Long Yuyan, the excitement in his eyes became even stronger, and he took a step forward and said to Long Yuyan very attentively.
"Miss Yuyan is like this, little brother Lin Xiao told us about Yu'er's injury before leaving, I came here to see if there is anything I can help."
Long Yuyan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It turns out that this is the case, then the city lord, come in with me, Yu'er is not good at seeing the wind now, so she is still resting inside." ”
Where does the city lord care where Yu'er is now, he just needs to know that Long Yuyan is here, but in front of Long Yuyan, he still made a worried look.
"Is the injury on Yu'er's little brother serious? Do you need me to get a doctor? Or I also have good medicinal herbs there, and if you need it, Brother Yu'er can go to me and get it. ”
Long Yuyan listened to the words of the city lord, and always felt that there was something strange, was this city lord too enthusiastic? Obviously, it wasn't that attitude a few days ago.
When Long Yuyan was distracted, the city lord shifted the topic to her again: "Miss Yuyan, are you still used to living here?" ”
Long Yuyan came back to her senses and said a few perfunctory words casually: "I'm used to living very well, thank you for the city lord's concern." ”
The city lord's eyebrows quietly raised: "Miss Yuyan, if you are not used to or dislike something, you must tell me, and I will let someone prepare it for you." ”
Long Yuyan finally heard it now, she turned her head to look at the city lord, and her tone was a little gentle: "Thank you for the city lord's concern, Yu Yan is very used to it, and she doesn't dare to trouble the city lord anymore." ”
Long Yuyan knew Lin Xiao's plan, and now seeing that the city lord seemed to have undeserved thoughts about herself, her thoughts suddenly became active and began to test the city lord.
The city lord heard Long Yuyan speak in a gentle tone, and he really took the bait excitedly: "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, as long as Miss Yuyan likes it." ”
The temptation was successful, Long Yuyan smiled lightly, stopped talking, and walked into Yu'er's room with the city lord.
The smile on the city lord's face immediately retracted after seeing Yu'er, and he pretended to be very sad: "Little brother Yu'er, you can recuperate with peace of mind, just tell me what you need." ”
Yu'er didn't have a good impression of the new city lord in the first place, but now that she saw him like this, she just wanted to quickly turn her head and be out of sight, so she naturally wouldn't respond to his words.
Long Yuyan raised her hand and patted Yu'er's shoulder, and took the initiative to give the city lord a chance to be courteous: "City Lord, we really need your help to find some good medicine for injuries, you see Yu'er's injury, we don't worry if we don't hurry up." ”
When the city lord heard Long Yuyan's words, he naturally hurried on the surface, and swore that he would definitely find Yu'er the best medicine for the whole city lord's mansion, but the constantly fluttering eyes made people dare not believe him easily.
A few people talked again, and there were really not many common topics between the city lord and a few people, and after saying the greetings, he sat for a while and got up to leave.
Not long after the city lord left, someone immediately came over with a plate full of medicine bottles, and along with these medicines, there was also a plate of pastries.
Yu'er turned her head to look at the pile full of medicines, and her brows furrowed: "I don't use this, don't use his things." ”
Long Yuyan knew that Yu'er was suspicious of the city lord, so she nodded Yu'er's forehead with a smile: "Who let you use this, I'm just giving him a statement." ”
Yu'er turned her head, closed her eyes and didn't speak again, the plate of medicine was naturally thrown aside, but the plate of pastries looked very tempting.
Tie Dan looked at it again and again, but finally couldn't hold back, reached out and picked up the plate and said loudly: "This pastry looks delicious." ”
Long Yuyan frowned, feeling strange, and just wanted to open her mouth to stop Tie Dan, she saw Tie Dan quickly take several pieces and stuff them into her mouth, as fast as if she was afraid that someone would rob her.
For a while, Long Yuyan's unfinished words could only stop, and she looked at Tie Dan helplessly: "Eat anything, and I'm not afraid of other people's ways." ”
Tie Dan smiled: "It's okay, we are now the ones on the surface, if he doesn't want to arouse suspicion, he won't touch us." ”
Unable to make sense of Tie Dan, Long Yuyan could only sigh again, turned around and walked to Yu'er's side and sat down, closing her eyes to recuperate.
Lin Xiao's side, since he disguised himself as a guard and infiltrated the city lord's guards, he could really hear a lot of news, such as now, he is now in the corner, listening to the guards in the opposite corner talking about the new city lord.
The cultivation of those two guards is not high, in their eyes, Lin Xiao, who is also a guard, is not high, and naturally he does not avoid Lin Xiao when he speaks.
A guard leaned against the city wall, with dissatisfaction on his face: "Brother, it's good when the old city lord is here, the old city lord is not so ambitious, so we don't have to be so worried every day, worrying about one day people being pushed out and sent to death." ”
The other guard was startled and immediately reached out to cover his mouth: "What nonsense are you talking about!" I'm going to die! We've known each other for so many years, and I don't want to look at you in a different place. ”
The guard struggled to break free from his friend's hand: "Originally, the old city lord An An was divided, we can save our lives under his hands, and now this, heh, I still want to dominate the world, what good can ordinary people like us get under his hands?" ”
Lin Xiao, who was standing next to him, closed his eyes, and pretended not to notice when he felt that there was an inquiring gaze on him, and the other party looked at Lin Xiao's appearance, and finally felt a little relieved.
"You want to complain that I don't stop you, but why don't you take a look at the occasion, saying such things here, and being heard by the city lord, can you still be alive?"
The other guard frowned impatiently, and finally didn't say anything more, but Lin Xiao had a plan in his heart, it turned out that the new city lord still had the ambition to rule the world.
Then the old city lord's partial corner is contrary to the new city lord, so it seems that the suspicion of the new city taking the initiative to kill the old city lord is even greater.
Taking advantage of the shift break, Lin Xiao quietly went to look for Mo Tong, and the two of them found a relatively secluded place and began to exchange the things they had explored in the past two days.
After listening to what Lin Xiao said, the new city lord had the ambition to rule the world, he was silent for a moment, and then said, "I've been ...... for the past few days. In the past few days, I often see the elders crying quietly behind their backs. ”
Lin Xiao frowned, and when he saw that Mo Tong seemed to have something to say, he forcibly did not interrupt, but let Mo Tong continue.
Mo Tong cleared his throat, he didn't know what he was thinking about, and his expression looked very unbearable: "Every time he cries, he will say something about the old city lord and him, and it seems that he has a good relationship with the old city lord." ”
Lin Xiao nodded thoughtfully: "In this way, the elder should be unwilling to expose his sorrow in front of others, so he tried his best to pretend to be flat in front of us." ”
Mo Tong snorted: "Originally, I thought he was the murderer, but now it seems that I am really wrong, two people with such good feelings, how can the elder take the initiative against the old city." ”
Lin Xiao thought of the elder's performance these days, and also sighed: "This elder's personality is a bit stubborn, and he can't complain that he will be misunderstood by others. ”
Lin Xiao hadn't seen the elder grief these days, so he couldn't understand how Mo Tong was feeling now, and after he said this, he turned the conversation around and brought the topic back on track.
"In this way, the real culprit is very clear, it is the new city lord, after killing the old city lord, he himself ascended to the throne, and with the old city lord's manpower and resources, he fulfilled his own ambitions."
Mo Tong nodded, and there was hatred in the eyes of the new city lord when he thought of it: "This guy is really vicious, and his scheming is also very deep, we were almost deceived by him and misunderstood a good person." ”
Lin Xiao knew what Mo Tong meant, he reached out and patted Mo Tong's shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, it's not too late to know now, we still have room to turn around." ”
Lin Xiao and Mo Tong cautiously went to the Elder's Mansion, for fear that the New City Lord would send someone to follow them.
"Elder, we have found the murderer of the old city lord."
Lin Xiao sat opposite the elder, took a sip of water, and then said.
"Who is it?"
