Chapter 69: The City Lord's Mansion
For five days, Lin Xiao had been on the road, and because of Qin Batian's exercises, he didn't feel the slightest tiredness.
"This exercise is really good."
Lin Xiao muttered, flying in the air in the past few days, his soul was still condensed, raised his head and looked at the city gate not far away, and slowly exhaled.
The city gate is not much different from the ancient city gate on TV, with two unknown monsters on both sides of the city gate.
The pitch-black gate was topped with bronze guards, and on either side of the gate stood several ghost soldiers with spears.
Slowly came to the gate of the city, the spear in the hand of the ghost soldier was horizontal in front of him, and his eyes looked at Lin Xiao sternly.
"Who's coming?"
The people and ghosts in the city were all familiar, and Lin Xiao was here for the first time, so they felt strange, and they didn't know if it was a spy from other countries.
Lin Xiao licked his lips, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and casually threw the token in his hand to the opposite side, looking at the look of the ghost soldier with his eyes.
If Qin Batian's token didn't know these ghost soldiers, then there would be no need for him to go to the so-called City Lord's Mansion.
The ghost soldiers really didn't know the token in front of them, not because they didn't belong to the Fallen Empire, but because their level was too low.
But after seeing the token, there was a stunned look in his eyes, no matter what, the people who can show this kind of token are big shots.
Even people from other countries must be allowed to go, because no one knows if they have come here to negotiate with the city lord.
His face became a little flattering, and he respectfully handed the token in his hand to Lin Xiao with both hands, and bent his body ninety degrees.
"Hello my lord, I hope you enjoy your stay in this city."
When Lin Xiao took the token, several ghost soldiers all said respectfully.
Looking at the ghost soldier's reaction with some astonishment, Lin Xiao smiled dumbly, then nodded, and walked towards the center of the city with a brisk walk.
When you enter the inner city, you will find that there is almost no difference between this place and the rest of the world, and there are all kinds of stalls on the street, shouting one after another.
The footsteps stopped in front of the most luxurious house in the city, and the three big characters of the City Lord's Mansion were written on the front door of the house.
The City Lord's Mansion closed the door tightly, Lin Xiao scratched his head, didn't know how to get in, and smiled bitterly.
If it comes, it will be safe.
Walked to the door and knocked on it.
The door creaked open, and a human head poked out, looked at Lin Xiao in front of him, and said impatiently, "What's the matter?" ”
"I want to see the lord of the city."
Lin Xiao said calmly, without the slightest appearance of anger, he would not be as knowledgeable as a small guy.
"Do you think the city lord is what you want to see?"
The little guy said disdainfully, if the ghosts in this city want to see the city lord every day, then the city lord must not be busy to death.
took out the token and handed it to the little servant's hand, and said slowly: "You give this token to the city lord, and he will understand." ”
Looking at the token in his hand, Xiao Xiao also felt that Lin Xiao was not an ordinary person, nodded and said, "Then you can wait here for a while." ”
After speaking, he closed the door again, leaving only Lin Xiao outside.
Listening to the report of his subordinates, the city lord frowned, usually if someone discusses something important with him, he will send an invitation first, but this person actually came directly to the city lord's mansion.
"Take his token and take a look."
After hearing this, the little girl handed Lin Xiao's token to the city lord's hand with both hands, and secretly raised his head to look at the city lord.
I saw that when the city lord saw the token, he was stunned for a moment, then his face was happy, and he stood up at once.
"Where is that man?"
"Shut out by the little one." As he spoke, the little servant's legs kept shaking, because when he saw the city lord's reaction, he already knew that the person who came should be a very important person to the city lord.
But the city lord ignored him, and quickly ran out of the hall, and his speed turned into a shadow.
Seeing the city lord like this, all the people were surprised, in their impression, the city lord has always been a calm person, but how could he see a token and become like this.
Pushing open the door and seeing Lin Xiao at the door, the light of excitement slowly dimmed, and the owner who originally thought he would be able to see the token was a little disappointed.
"Please come in."
Although he was not the owner of the token, the city lord still invited Lin Xiao into the city lord's mansion, perhaps because the owner of the token owed a friendship to the person in front of him.
"Who are you, how could you possibly have this token." He took a shallow sip of the teacup next to him, and the old voice came out of the mouth of the city lord.
Lin Xiao took a sip of tea, and suddenly felt that his soul seemed to be sublimated, and he couldn't help but look at the tea in front of him.
What kind of tea is this, it has a nourishing effect on the soul.
"I'm just a messenger."
I continued to take a sip of tea, deeply savoring the faint aura in the tea, and washing my soul.
"Hmm" The city lord glanced at Lin Xiao, didn't understand what Lin Xiao meant, and continued to ask: "Who asked you to pass the word, what is it?" ”
At this time, the city lord already had doubts about Lin Xiao in his heart, because if he was the owner of the token, he would not fall in love with a character like Lin Xiao.
"I don't know who it is, but he asked me to tell you" looked at the city lord with both eyes, paused and continued: "He, Qin Batian, is coming back. ”
Hearing this, the city lord crushed the tea in his hand, and the expression on his face became a little excited, but in the blink of an eye, a strong coercion was directly directed at Lin Xiao.
His eyes slowly turned cold, and Lin Xiao was also a little annoyed in his heart, he was just here to deliver a letter, why should he be hostile to him.
But he didn't move, because this was the city lord's mansion, unless he had the ability to kill it, or he would be killed by the city lord.
"Why, don't you believe it?"
His face didn't matter, but his eyes were already sweeping around, and he was preparing that if the city lord was going to attack him, he would find an escape route as soon as possible.
"Are you kidding me, he died years ago."
After listening to the words of the city lord, the people under his command pulled out the weapons in their hands with a tense face, and seemed to be waiting for the city lord's words to break Lin Xiao's body into pieces.
Although there was some anger in his heart, Lin Xiao's face was still full of smiles, and he smiled bitterly in his heart and scolded Qin Batian.
"I don't know, I'm just a messenger."
"What is his realm?" The old man's voice sounded slowly, and the city lord looked at Lin Xiao's eyes, wanting to know if Lin Xiao's next words were true.
"I don't know." Lin Xiao scratched his head, and suddenly thought of what Qin Batian had said and continued: "But he easily killed a ghost general. ”
The old man's cheeks were slightly stunned, and then he suddenly surged with joy, this sudden news made the city lord unable to come back to his senses, and after half a ring, the city lord's happy face slowly calmed down, glanced at Lin Xiao, and asked softly with a little nervousness: "Is there a skeleton pattern carved on his forehead?" ”
Lin Xiao recalled that when he met Qin Batian, his forehead was already covered by hair, and no one paid attention to these details at that time.
"Yes." Lin Xiao blushed and said without shame, it's such a time, I can only fight, I can't say I didn't see it.
Alas, it's all about survival.
A faint smile on the corner of his mouth masked what he said, as if he had really seen it.
"Hahaha, it turns out that he is really alive, thank you." The city lord grabbed Lin Xiao's hands and looked very excited.
I think that the scene when Qin Batian brought him up was vivid, how could the city lord not be excited when he heard the news this time.
Since this is the case, then Qin Batian will definitely come back and take back the rights that belong to him.
"Little friend, stay with me these days, I'll take you somewhere."
When Lin Xiao heard this, his head was a little big, he didn't want to stay by the side of this city lord, he didn't know when something would happen by his side.
Hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, no, no, my business has been done, I still have something to do, so let's get out of here first." ”
Lin Xiao's eyebrows were raised, and his gaze swept over the excited city lord, who knows if Qin Batian is the same as the city lord.
"No, you still have to testify to me."
Looking at Lin Xiao's gaze, the city lord's face changed, and his originally excited face became very excited.
"Inform Qin Wu, Qin Han, Qin Hao, go to the palace to see King Qin in a few days."
The city lord slowly instructed the housekeeper beside him, and immediately called some people to prepare wine and food to entertain Lin Xiao.
"When can I go?" Lin Xiao touched his nose, seemingly casual words, but he wanted to know the answer in his heart.
Hearing this, the city lord didn't care, and put his palm on Lin Xiao's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, as long as my king returns to the empire, then you will be able to get ten thousand benefits, and I'm afraid you will be reluctant to leave here at that time." ”
The city lord's mood was very happy, in the past few years, he had been missing Qin Batian for leading them to the road of strengthening the country.
Lin Xiao spread his hands helplessly, it seemed that he had no way to leave.
"I want to ask, who is this Qin Batian?"
Until now, Lin Xiao didn't know Qin Batian's identity, but seeing the expression of the city lord, it was estimated that he should be a figure of the same level as the city lord.
"He is the king of my soulless empire, the only king."
There was a light in his eyes, and the city lord looked in the direction of the palace, with a slight hatred in his eyes.
Lin Xiao was a little stunned, he never expected that Qin Batian would be a royal family, no wonder he agreed to his conditions so easily.
But why did he appear in that deserted place, of course, he didn't ask.
Because he can't see the situation in front of him clearly, he doesn't know the inside story.
"Silence is golden, silence is golden."
Trying hard to suppress the curiosity in his heart, he sat down at the table in the middle of the hall with the happy city lord.
Looking at the various foods on the table, although Lin Xiao had never seen it, he still felt very appetizing.
"These are all very famous foods for the Soul Fall Empire, and they are also very helpful to the soul."
The city lord introduced the dishes in front of Lin Xiao one by one, but Lin Xiao looked at these dishes but didn't have the heart to eat.
