Chapter 542: On Fire
The flames soon burst out of the chamber and engulfed the deserted courtyard as well.
"It's out of the water!"
The patrol guards shouted, and for a while, everyone rushed to tell each other, telling everyone to go to the deserted courtyard to put out the fire.
Chen Luo didn't say anything, after he returned to his room, he locked himself up, and no one knocked on the door and didn't respond.
When Mo Qing came back, he saw that the old city lord's courtyard was blazing.
He casually pulled a small servant by his hand, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
When he went to chase the carriage, he chased it all the way out of the city, and it was only when he gave up the chase and turned back.
"Lord Mo Qing, you're back!" The little guy wiped his sweat and said, "Somehow, the deserted courtyard where the old city lord lives suddenly caught fire, and the minions are fighting the fire." ”
"What about the city lord and the little boy?" Mo Qing asked again.
"After the city lord came back from outside, the slave never saw him again, and he went to knock on the door a few times, but there was no response, and the little boy was in his yard."
Mo Qing let go of the little guy and rushed towards Chen Luo's courtyard.
Although he could not catch up with the carriage, he could recognize that the coachman was his brother Moyi, and when the wind lifted the curtain, he could still faintly see that there seemed to be two people sitting in the carriage.
There should be no second person who can let his brother act as a coachman, except for the city lord Xie.
Seeing that he couldn't catch up, he could only turn around and come back, ready to inform Chen Luo about Xie Cheng's arrival in Night City, but he didn't want to, as soon as he came back, he saw that the mansion was busy.
After he entered the courtyard, he first went to the study, and only after seeing that there was no one there, did he return to Chen Luo's bedroom.
Seeing that the door was closed, he hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door.
In the house, Chen Luo was sitting decadently, and when he heard a knock on the door, his eyelids raised slightly, but he didn't mean to get up and open the door.
"Master, it's me!"
Mo Qing knocked on the door a few more times, and when he saw that no one responded, he shouted.
Chen Luo heard his voice, and his eyes were slightly focused.
He was silent for a long time before he got up and walked over and pushed the door open.
"Master, is something happening?" Mo Qing asked in a low voice after entering the door.
He and his master have only been separated for a long time, why is the master emaciated like this?
"Nothing." Chen Luo shook his head, tiredness in his voice.
He rubbed his temples, looked at Mo Qing and asked, "Is that Mo Yi?" ”
"Yes!" Mo Qing bowed, "It seems that City Lord Xie is also here." ”
Hearing the words "City Lord Xie", Chen Luo's body stiffened slightly, "He's here too?" What is he doing in Night City? ”
Mo Qing was surprised, in the past, as long as the master mentioned City Lord Xie, his face would become gloomy and terrifying, but today, his tone was surprisingly calm, and even a little weak.
"Master, have you been to the back mountain?"
Apart from this, he really couldn't figure out what else could make his master look like this.
Chen Luo didn't speak, and Mo Qing knew that he was acquiescing.
"So, what happened back then?" Mo Qing asked.
"It's all out there." Chen Luo smiled bitterly, "But it's not the truth I think in the past few years." ”
Mo Qing found that there was a sense of desolation in the master's body, and in those eyes, there was less coldness in the past, and more chagrin and remorse.
He was a smart man, and he didn't need Chen Luo to open his mouth, he probably guessed what the truth of the matter was.
The master will show this expression, thinking about it, these things should be related to the assassination of the old city lord by the city lord Xie.
