15: The second floor
It was night, the moon was hanging high, and the silver glow was pouring down the ground.
In the Wanliu City Lord's Mansion, a woman was standing in the courtyard, looking up at the bright white moon, her expression was a little dazed.
This woman is extremely beautiful, looking about 20 years old, with a curling posture and picturesque eyebrows, reflected in the silver light, like a fairy under the moon, extremely beautiful.
It's just that at this moment, there is a hidden worry between her eyebrows, which makes her beautiful and smooth eyebrows slightly frowned.
Squeak.
The sound of the door opening behind her brought her back to her senses, and she turned her head, and an old man with white hair walked out of the back room by himself.
"Mr. Long, how is the situation?"
She asked softly.
The old man closed the door, then arched his hand towards the woman, and sighed lightly: "It's still the same, the second realm true yuan is entrenched in the body, and it may explode at any time." The decay is temporarily suppressed with the spirit sealing needle, but it is only a symptom but not a cure...... With the passage of time, the erosion of the true element became more and more severe...... Alas......"
The old man sighed and glanced at the room, with some helplessness in his eyes.
The woman's face turned slightly pale when she heard this, and she pursed her lips, and then reluctantly smiled: "I know." It's been a troublesome time sir. It's not early, so let's rest early. ”
The old man sighed lightly, nodded, bowed his hand slightly, and left.
Seeing the old man leave, the woman's eyes were a little gloomy.
"Auntie."
At that moment, a small voice sounded behind her. She turned her head and saw a girl carved in pink behind her.
The little girl, dressed in a thin set of pajamas, holding a somewhat shabby rag doll in her arms, and with a pair of big watery eyes, was looking up at her.
"Why don't you sleep? On such a cold day, wear such a little bit and come out, aren't you afraid of the cold? ”
After the woman was stunned for a moment, she squatted down, straightened the little girl's messy bangs, and whispered.
"I fell asleep and woke up again......"
The girl muttered, and then she blinked her big eyes and asked, "Auntie, when will Xiyue wake up?" I want to sleep with her ......."
This question stopped the woman, but soon she smiled slightly: "It won't be long before your father comes back, and Xiyue will wake up." ”
"And when will Daddy come back? It's been a long time since I've seen my daddy...... Muyang misses his father. ”
The girl's eyes lit up for a moment, but then she said, and there was a little longing in her eyes.
"It's coming, it's coming soon......"
The woman touched the girl's head with some pity and said.
But in fact, her heart was a little heavy.
It has been half a year since Brother Jiang left, and the gods have returned to the ruins...... It was the place where the gods were buried in legends, and it was full of dangers.
Now that there is no news, to tell the truth, it is very likely that it has been ......
When she thought of this possibility, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, and forcibly shook her head to keep herself from thinking about it.
"Brother Jiang's Ji people have their own natural appearance, so they must be fine...... It's probably because of something delayed. There are Muyang and Xiyue here, he loves them so much, and he will come back if he does his best...... Will definitely be back! ”
She comforted herself in her heart.
But thinking of the current situation in Wanliu City, she felt a heaviness in her heart again.
Brother Jiang's life and death are unknown, and this kind of thing happened again at this juncture, causing Ling Chan Peak and her City Lord's Mansion to be in discord. Luo Changsheng watched from the wall, and it seemed that he was already a little optimistic about the possibility of the third prince ascending the throne......
To tell the truth, dealing with the unexpected situation during this period of time made her feel deeply exhausted.
"It's hateful that I'm not a powerhouse in the second realm, otherwise ......"
She clenched her teeth, and for a moment she was a little distracted.
"Auntie, aunt ......"
It took a while for the little girl Muyang's small voice to bring her back to her senses. She hurriedly looked at the little girl: "What's wrong?" ”
"Xiyue didn't wake up, so is Muyang sleeping with her aunt today?"
There was a hint of anticipation in the little girl's eyes.
Seeing that she was stunned for a moment, the woman also laughed and nodded: "Okay, Muyang slept with her aunt today ......"
As she spoke, she picked up the little girl. The little girl burst into cheers and laughed happily.
Looking at the innocent smile on the child's face, the woman's eyes inexplicably revealed a trace of regret, and then she laughed again, turned around and hugged the child and was about to leave.
But at this moment, the woman suddenly stopped and turned her head to look.
But I only heard a 'whoosh', and a figure appeared in the courtyard.
The figure was completely black, landed in the courtyard, and knelt directly on one knee.
The woman's expression froze, and she said seriously: "What did you find out?" ”
"Back to the girl, the subordinates have secretly checked the people who went to Lingchanfeng's house that day, and found that when Gongzi had an accident, not too many people saw it, they just heard the panicked screams of the Lingjia slaves when the banquet was about to end, and when everyone rushed over, Lingchanfeng had already arrived on the spot and seriously injured Gongzi. The specific process, except for the Ling family...... No one else saw it. ”
The man in black whispered the results of his investigation in the past few days.
This made the woman's expression suddenly condense, and then the silver teeth clenched: "Sure enough, as I expected...... What about the Spirit Family? During this time, can you find any special actions in them? ”
"At the moment, no."
"No?"
The woman's brows suddenly frowned slightly, and after a while, she took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Also, if it is really as I expected, even if Lingchan Peak has any special moves, it is not something you can find out......"
At this, her eyes began to flicker, as if she was thinking about something.
The man in black in the courtyard knelt quietly, waiting for the next instructions.
After a long time, the woman gritted her teeth and said, "Leave the others alone for the time being, and continue to investigate." But at the same time...... Give me a good look...... Unless Ling Chan Feng does it himself, it ...... In any case, save his life. ”
When these words were spoken, the pain in the woman's heart could be imagined.
But there is no way, the reality is like this, in a world where the strong are respected, the strength is not as good as others, so they must be passively beaten. Life and death are controlled by people!
"Yes."
The man in black took the order, swished, and disappeared.
The woman stood in the courtyard with the girl in her arms, silent for a long time, and then she looked at Mingyue.
"Brother Jiang, come back quickly...... I'm really a little overwhelmed......"
She muttered under her breath.
After a long time, it was the girl who called her again, and she came back to her senses, and after smiling reluctantly, she hugged the girl and went back to her room......
……
……
But realistically, don't give her time.
Carrying the girl in her arms, she tossed and turned on the bed, and at dawn, before dawn, a sharp knock on the door woke her up.
"What's the matter?"
She was shocked and sat up directly.
Then, I heard a woman's hurried voice shouting outside: "Girl, the big thing is not good, the news has just come from the city defenders, Ling Chanfeng personally escorted the son out of the prison, and he wants to open the knife and behead him in Chenshi, and give his daughter-in-law justice!" ”
"What?! The matter has not yet been investigated, how dare Lingzen Peak?! ”
The woman's expression changed suddenly, she got up, quickly put on her clothes, and when she pushed the door out, she turned her head to look, but saw that the girl had also been woken up, sitting on the bed, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and a few dull hairs stood on her head, looking at her.
The woman took a deep breath and pushed the door out, and there was a group of people standing anxiously at the door, all of them were maids from the inner house, and in the courtyard in the distance, a man in black was kneeling on one knee, bowing his head and waiting.
The woman quickly sorted out her thoughts, took a deep breath, and quickly explained: "Peach, take care of the eldest lady." Liu Lu, the second lady will leave it to you. Where is Lin Chao? ”
"General Lin is waiting in the outer mansion." A maid hurriedly said.
"Tell him to gather the people in the mansion immediately!"
The woman looked at the man in black in the distance and said.
"Yes." The man in black bowed down to receive the order.
"Along with your secret guards, transfer them all to me!"
"Yes."
The man in black got up, turned into a black shadow, and left.
At this moment, the woman showed a decisive look, and there was a fierce color in her eyes: "Qingyun is the son of my city lord's mansion, let's not say that the matter has not been investigated clearly, even if the investigation is clear, the fault lies with him, then it should also be punished by my city lord's mansion!" It's not his turn to Lingzen Peak Yue Yu to do it! ”
After saying this, she suddenly waved her sleeves and walked towards the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
In a short time, a team of more than three thousand people was assembled at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, led by a young man with a thin body.
The young man is handsome, but has a very cold temperament. It looks like a sharp gun.
When the woman walked out of the gate of the city lord's mansion, the emaciated man bowed and saluted: "Girl, the government army is three thousand, and the assembly is complete." ”
The woman's gaze swept over to the government soldiers.
This is the power cultivated by the city lord's mansion itself, and unlike the city defenders, it belongs to private soldiers.
And the strength of this group of private soldiers should not be underestimated, and the weakest one is also the Spirit Sea Realm!
The 'Spirit Sea Realm' is the fourth realm of the mortal realm.
There are six realms, one is 'opening the pulse', the second is 'Yunyuan', the third is 'strength', the fourth is 'spiritual sea', the fifth is 'spiritual fetus', and the sixth is 'breaking the ordinary'.
Beings above the triple realm of the mortal realm are already physically strong and powerful. The 'Spirit Sea' realm is the existence of the power of 'potential' that has already been first contacted.
Whether it is fighting alone or forming a military formation, the combat power is very amazing.
In terms of the personal combat strength of the government army and the defending army, the government army is completely crushed.
The entire city lord's mansion is guarded by the government army.
At this moment, they were completely assembled, and they saw that everyone in the field was like dragons, with fierce momentum and solid eyes, just by looking at it, they knew that this group of people had extraordinary combat power.
Especially Lin Chao and several other general-level figures, their cultivation has reached the fifth level in the mortal realm, or even the peak level.
Of course, there is still a huge difference between the mortal realm and the spiritual realm. Don't look at it as just a layer...... But if you want to break through, it is extremely difficult.
After the woman just glanced at it, she shouted with a cold face: "An army stays in the city lord's mansion, no one is allowed to enter without my order, and those who violate the prohibition will be killed." The rest, come with me! ”
"Yes!"
At the sound of an order, the woman's figure moved, as fast as lightning, and came to the front of the line.
Suddenly, this team of at least two thousand people, mighty, rushed towards the city.
At this moment, it was dawn, and most of the people in the city were still asleep, and they suddenly felt that the ground trembled, and the footsteps alarmed them, so they hurriedly got up to check.
After looking at it, their faces changed greatly.
"What's going on? The City Lord's Mansion Army was dispatched? ”
"This is going in the direction of the city defenders, won't the city lord's army really start a war with the city defenders today?!"
"Damn...... Don't sleep, don't sleep, get up! Something is wrong!! ”
Soon, the whole city woke up. The ordinary people in the city were panicked one by one......
They all knew that the city lord's army and the city defender army were not ordinary people. If these two groups of people are really killed...... Then the whole city will be in turmoil!
And for ordinary people, it is a catastrophe!
So, countless pairs of eyes, staring at this torrent of steel, many people followed in anxiety and came to the garrison of the defending army......
……
……
The garrison of the city is also in the city.
At this moment, thousands of soldiers defending the city, also fully armed, formed a circle to guard the four directions.
In that circle, a young man who had passed out in a coma, wearing only a thin white shirt, was lying on the ground, almost guarding the city, standing majestically beside him, with an iron and bloody momentum, which made people's hearts tremble.
In the distance, many people were already watching, pointing and pointing.
On the top of the attic of the defending army, Lingchan Peak had a cold face and stood in place. Behind him were several generals of the defending army, all of whom also had solemn faces and did not say a word.
"That's the son of the City Lord's Mansion? It is said that he is the righteous son of the lord of the castle, and he has been adopted for several years, but he has never seen it......"
"yes, it's rare to see him show up. I didn't expect it to be such a gentleman. ”
"But after all, he is the son of the city lord's mansion, although he is only a righteous son...... But General Ling killed him like this, isn't he afraid of offending the City Lord's Mansion? ”
"The city lord has been away for many days, and I don't know where he went, and during this time, General Ling is almost my city lord of Wanliu City. This son is so stubborn that even General Ling's daughter-in-law dares to bully and kill him...... It's no wonder that General Ling can endure it. ”
"But no matter how you say it, it's the city lord's mansion Yizi, this ...... Nothing will happen, right? ”
"General Ling is a strong man in the Spirit Realm, only the City Lord of the City Lord's Mansion can suppress him, and now that the City Lord is not here, who dares to come to find trouble?"
"That's ...... too"
Watch the lively people buzz and talk. But they just watch the fun, and the others don't really care about which side.
"General, the hour has come."
At this moment, a sergeant beside Lingchan Peak bowed down and whispered to him.
Ling Chanfeng's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and then he said indifferently: "Since the time has come, let's execute it." ”
The sergeant bowed, then turned his head and shouted outside, "The hour has come, execution!" ”
This sound, using the true element, roared around.
Suddenly, several sergeants beside the young man bent down and lifted the unconscious young man onto the decapitation table, and his head lay on the knife pier.
A burly, topless, muscular executioner walked up to him. A large knife is bright.
The executioner took a sip of wine, sprayed it directly on the broadsword, and then raised it high, expressionless, about to fall.
If this knife falls, then this young man will inevitably be in a different place!
And at this time......
"I see who dares to !!"
A roar exploded.
This was followed by a roar, followed by a series of rumbling roars.
The people in the city were stunned, and the next moment their faces suddenly turned pale.
"It's over, it's the city lord's mansion army! They're coming...... Could it be that this is a fight to the death with the defenders of the city?! ”
The torrent of steel, no one dared to do it, and the people who watched the excitement hurriedly retreated, and the woman came with a furious face and led the army.
On the top of the tall building, looking at the mighty and menacing government army, Lingchan Peak's eyes revealed a trace of joy......
Sure enough, it came.
He thought to himself.
But on the surface, there was a hint of coldness. frowned, looked at the woman who rushed to the scene, and said lightly: "Miss Luo, do you have any advice?" ”
The woman's face was cold, and she glanced at the unconscious young man, holding the butcher knife high, the expressionless executioner, her eyelids jumped slightly, and then she took a deep breath and looked up at the Lingchan Peak on the tall building.
"Lingchan Peak, are you going to start a war with my City Lord's Mansion?"
There is no maneuver, no temptation. Get straight to the point, straight to the point!
Just one sentence made everyone at the scene quiet. One by one, nervous and apprehensive, they looked at Lingchan Peak......
