After a period of hurrying, not long after nightfall, we finally arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion is very large, covering an area of thousands of acres, and the buildings inside look quite majestic and luxurious, which is full of fantasy.

General Fan was the city lord's man, and without making a report, he took me and the queen into the city lord's mansion. The queen next to me whispered to me that when I got inside, if the situation was not right, she would stay and deal with them, while I would take the opportunity to run as fast as I could, so that I could leave her alone.

Let's say that there will be no accident, even if something happens, I will not leave her alone, if I want to die, I am willing to die with her. As for the child's affairs, it can only be left to fate.

But I still don't know why, after entering the City Lord's Mansion, I have a feeling of walking into home, full of warmth and warmth. I don't have a home in this world, I want to have one, but it was a luxury before, but now it's not. If I'm safe this time, it won't be long before I have a complete home.

Under the leadership of General Fan, we came to the door of a side room, the black wooden door was closed, and there was no one outside the door. Just now, a subordinate in the city lord's mansion said that the city lord is in this house. Because it was night, and there was a dim yellow candle light inside, I didn't know what the lord of the city was doing in it.

"Tell the city lord, I brought the people back." General Fan said.

After finishing speaking, after a long time, an old voice came out from inside: "Well, do well, you go down, this city lord has something to say to them." ”

"This ......" General Fan heard this, hesitant and didn't want to leave, in fact, I know why he refuses to leave, he is worried that the city lord will do something to us, after all, on the way here, he promised us that he would never let us be hurt, even if he turned his face with the city lord, he did not hesitate.

"What? Don't you even listen to me? The voice of the city lord came from inside again, and although the voice was old, it was not lacking in majesty.

I didn't want General Fan to be embarrassed, so I opened my mouth and said to him: "General Fan, you go, we will take care of ourselves." ”

It was the city lord who let him go, and he was very helpless, knowing that he had to go, otherwise he would disobey the city lord's order, which would bring him very serious consequences.

In desperation, General Fan looked at me, shook his head and said, "You have to take care, I'm waiting for you in the lobby, if anything happens, just shout at me, I can hear you." ”

I nodded, General Fan was finally gone, and in the meantime, the queen was ready for battle, and if anyone wanted to do something against us, she would do it immediately. But because of that feeling, I wasn't nervous, and I didn't think anything was going to happen here.

"The men come in, and the women stay outside." The city lord inside said again.

This sentence surprised us a little, why did you let me in alone? What is the purpose of this city lord? Could it be that he will really be bad for me?

Just when I was puzzled, the queen spoke: "If the Phoenix City Lord has anything to say, just say it here, we can hear it, there is no need to go in." ”

"You don't have to worry, I won't do anything to him, if I want to do anything to him, from the moment he steps into the City Lord's Mansion, I can make his head fall to the ground, and even let him die when he is outside." The city lord said again.

There should be a master in the city lord's mansion, if the city lord really wants me to die, I'm afraid that even if the queen is there, he may not be able to leave here alive, so even if he is afraid, it is useless. Rather than go in, I would like to meet this city lord, after all, I feel that he will be a person I know, and he is very familiar.

Without waiting for the queen to reply, I said to her, "You wait for me outside, and I'll be fine." ”

The queen hesitated for a moment, frowned at me and said, "Okay, you go in, I'm waiting for you outside, if something happens, I'll go in and save you as soon as possible." ”

I nodded, then raised my head and swaggered to the door, I wanted to push the door open with my hands, but what I didn't expect was that the door opened automatically, and it was wide open. I know it's an open door, and even though I'm not very good, I can do it.

I took a deep breath and stepped into the threshold, and the moment I entered, the black door closed again, and even the deadbolt was used. Even so, I didn't feel scared.

Although this is a side room, the room is very large, full of all kinds of jade, and there is a book table, and there are many books. In this house, there was also a partition room, and I could tell that the lord of the castle was in the partition room.

"Come in, I'm here." The old voice of the city lord came from the next room.

I heard the sound and walked slowly to the next room, since I had already entered, there was nothing to fear, it was a mule or a horse, I always wanted to see it.

There was a mahogany table in the next room, and on the opposite side of the table, there was a bed, but the bed curtain covered the bed, and the city lord was on the bed, because of the bed curtain, I couldn't see the city lord's appearance.

I looked at the bed curtain and said, "Since the city lord wants to see me, why can't he come out and see me?" ”

"Alright, I'll show you what I look like now." The main road of the city.

As he spoke, the lord stretched out an old and white hand, and slowly lifted the curtain of the bed, and then a head of gray hair appeared in front of me, which was very long and thick, and covered the face of the lord of the city, so that I could not see it.

However, just looking at this gray hair, it can be seen that the city lord is already old, not eighty, but also ninety, or even older, it should be a twilight age.

Finally he sat on the edge of the bed, and before he saw his face, it could be seen that he was a scrawny old man, the very old and thin kind, who did not look very well, did not breathe well, and coughed a few times from time to time. He held a red cloth in his hand and covered his mouth with it and coughed.

This time, without waiting for me to speak, he slowly brushed his hair back to his head and showed his face in front of me. When I saw the pale wrinkles on his face, I was astonished, he was too old, the lord of the city was so old, and his face was too embarrassed, as if he was going to die soon.

"Did you see that?" The castle lord raised his head and looked at me with attentive eyes, and in his eyes, I saw a familiar warmth.

"Ghost King!" Suddenly, I shouted.

I really can't believe my eyes, the city lord of Phoenix City, is actually the ghost king. If you don't look carefully, I can't see it at all, after all, he is too old now, the old is not like words, and the old one makes people feel cold.

"Haha......" the Ghost King laughed.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Then he coughed again, and it could be seen that his health was extremely bad.

Seeing this, I hurriedly stepped forward and poured him a glass of water and let him drink it, which might be better.

The ghost king looked at me, took the water in his hand, and reluctantly took a sip and said, "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that in my ghost king's lifetime, I would be able to see you, maybe this is the will of heaven." ”

Seeing the ghost king, I was also very excited and very happy, but I couldn't be happy to see him like this now. Because the ghost king is too old and not in good health, this makes me faintly worried.

I followed his words and sighed: "Yes, providence makes people, we are together again." ”

The ghost king coughed again, and he coughed so badly that even when I saw him coughing up blood, I couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Are you sick?" Did you see a doctor? ”

The Ghost King held back his cough and said, "I might as well tell you that I'm not sick, but my limit came a month ago, and I've survived until now." Now that I can see you here, I can leave with peace of mind. ”

Eh, I was stunned, I understood what the ghost king meant, he was leaving. We had just met, and he was leaving, and he would never come back. If so, we might as well not see it, which will only make me sad.

I hurriedly said, "Is there any way to continue to delay your life?" ”

The ghost king shook his head weakly and said, "This is my limit, there is no way to do it." But before I die, there are some things I want to ask you. ”
