Chapter 143: Seizure of power
The moon passes in the middle of the sky.
Liu Ci stuffed a piece of snack into his mouth, and smiled at the city lord's wife who was sitting on the side: "Madame, don't you want to taste my craft?" ”
The city lord's wife smiled and thanked Liu Ci for her kindness, but the man who was used to hiding in the shadows couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes.
The soldiers all over the city dug three feet into the ground and almost even took out the rat nest, but Liu Ci, who made the people of Amster City turn on their backs, stayed in the head of the city lord for a day. In her words, what "the most dangerous place is also the safest place" sounds quite reasonable, but Liu Ci is also a little bolder.
From afternoon to late at night, she made tea three times and ate seven plates of dim sum!
The three kinds of tea were carried by her, and the dim sum was made by Liu Ci halfway to the castle kitchen and moved some simple kitchen utensils, which were made on the spot in the room of the city lord's wife - the room belonging to the city lord's wife, which is a deserted place in the castle on weekdays, and today it is completely forgotten, indeed, as Liu Ci said, there is no safer place in the whole city than here.
The man was thinking about his thoughts, and the city lord's wife was writing hard with a quill pen.
A letter with a fire-lacquered seal and a badge emanated from this room, and the sorrow that had existed between the lord's and wife's brows dissipated.
The situation was probably better than the two expected, and it was no wonder that the city lord's wife didn't feel tired all day.
The two women in the room, both in terms of appearance and education, look different, and if you look inside, there is indeed a common temperament that crosses the time and space line. There is a kind of tenacious beauty in Mrs. Soort, which Liu Ci admires. Different planes, times and cultures, the Creator can always produce amazing coincidences.
The moonlight disappeared into the depths of the clouds, and the sky gradually revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly.
Liu Ci was dozing off half-leaning back in his chair, while Madame Soort was standing in front of the window overlooking the crowded City Lord's Mansion, with a mockery on her face: That goshawk-like man must be anxious now, right?!
Bang –
The half-hidden wooden door was slammed open, and Liu Ci, who was pretending to sleep, seemed to have half-open eyes, but in fact, the talisman in his sleeve slipped between his fingers in an instant.
The mysterious guard, who habitually hid in the shadows of the room, reacted only half a beat slower than Liu Ci, and the man clenched the broken blade in his hand, and the originally relaxed atmosphere in the room suddenly tensed!
“…… Madam! ”
The three of them looked at the door, and it was a middle-aged man who slammed into the door, with messy hair, his left shoulder hanging weakly at his side, his right hand covering his chest, and his clothes were hung out with many openings, dripping blood on the floor. The injury was serious, his steps were staggering, but the middle-aged man didn't even snort, his eyes had no other emotions, Liu Ci guessed that he might be a dead soldier of the Sool family.
Seeing who was coming, Madame Sool was both worried and happy.
"Have you found the antidote?"
The visitor nodded, and pulled out a small glass bottle from the tattered placket. Half a bottle of blue liquid swayed with the movement of the visitor, and the liquid was like a brilliant sapphire.
Looks very good-looking, but Madame Soult stares at the antidote and sighs:
"The only place Emster can find the antidote to the Lost Grass is probably the Holy See...... You've worked hard. Miss Ci, can I take the liberty of asking you for another bottle of potion? ”
Liu Ci yawned and threw a bottle of rejuvenation talisman water to Madame Soor.
Seeing her handing it to her injured subordinate, the middle-aged man raised his head and drank it without saying anything, but his stagnant eyes fluctuated a little.
"Madame, take care."
After drinking the rejuvenation talisman water, the middle-aged man's energy quickly recovered, and he did not continue to stay in Madame Soorr's room, and left on his own with an injury. Liu Ci thoughtfully, the city lord's wife treats her subordinates very intimately, with such a skill to control her subordinates, she can still fall to the point where her children are betrayed by her husband, Liu Ci really doesn't know what to say except for sighing that "love makes people blind"!
Unscrewing the bottle of antidote, a fishy smell that completely did not match the appearance came out.
It smelled like leftovers from three days in July, and Liu Ci, who had always been calm, changed his face, and Mrs. Soort could still drink without changing her face.
The white of the fish's belly turned orange-red, and Madame Thauer clasped her hands together, and when she parted again, her fingertips had gathered a howling storm.
Her vanished magic is back!
"Congratulations, ma'am!" Liu Ci's congratulations were very sincere.
Strength refilled her body, and Madame Soult exuded a powerful self-confidence, making her look at least ten years younger.
"Without your potion, even if I took the Lost Nightmare Antidote, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly. Thank you again for your help, my promise to you will be fulfilled soon, you can rest assured. ”
Liu Ci nodded, she didn't know what kind of magic the little hurricane that was bound to Madame Soor's fingers belonged to what kind of magic it belonged to, she didn't chant at all, her hair was straight in an instant, and she didn't pull the surrounding magic elements to stir.
This is a very powerful female noblewoman, Liu Ci thought very unkindly, it seems that the City Lord's Mansion is really going to change soon.
The unprepared lord of the city will usher in a deadly counterattack from Lady Soor.
The sun leaped out of the depths of the orange-red clouds, and the light sprinkled over the city of the plateau closest to the god of light, and the hurricane brewed at the fingertips of Madame Soort, so could it not be that it was silently accumulating strength over the entire city of Amst.
How Mrs. Sool wants to take revenge on the city lord and how to get back everything that belongs to her Liu Ci doesn't know, and she doesn't bother to pay attention.
She just paid a few bottles of rejuvenation talisman water in exchange for a little help from the other party, a win-win deal, and no one had to act pretentiously. The more chaotic the City Lord's Mansion was, the more favorable the bureau would be to the trial of the poisoning case, and Liu Ci was so satisfied that he almost leaked his traces when he left the City Lord's Mansion.
Quickly slipped back to the hotel, Stull waited for it, and as soon as he saw Liu Ci come back, he stepped forward and pulled her to the room.
"Boss, don't tell me you set the fire in Katrina's house the night before......"
Liu Ci's eyes widened, and his face was full of innocence: "What are you talking about?" ”
Stull knew it well, and the hotel was too crowded to talk about it, so he could only give Liu Ci an expression of "admire you to the ground".
Liu Ci didn't bother to deal with him, and asked the innkeeper to send a large bucket of hot water to her room, and took a bath to make up for sleep.
After sleeping until lunchtime, Liu Cicai crawled out of the quilt full of energy. For the mages who were chasing Liu Ci the night before, the person they were chasing was a "gold coin assassin", and the "scrolls" they spent were converted into gold coins, which was a large amount. In Liu Ci's view, Fu Gong doesn't need money, but the materials are really troublesome. Although the talismans thrown are all usually practiced, the yellow table paper can be made by yourself, and a lot of bamboo is planted anyway.
But cinnabar is not a common mine in the Magic Continent. Liu Ci had already used up a lot of cinnabar that she had brought out from the Moloch Mountains, and if she didn't replenish the rune materials, she could only look at the rune paper in a daze. Fortunately, Stull has been a merchant for many years and has sources in various places, and Liu Ci is relying on his men to inquire about the whereabouts of the cinnabar mine.
This time, she consumed a lot of talismans, and when she returned to the villa, she had to find time to draw more.
Liu Cizheng took stock of the loss, and naturally touched the hotel where she and Stull were staying. The little girl was followed by George, and the poisoning incident of Sijixian was in full swing, and George was also very worried.
Stuart, who was released from prison on parole, hooked George's shoulders and dragged the teenager aside, and only then did he take out a rolled paper tube and hand it to Liu Ci.
"My grandfather helped, and I followed the people who stole the mutant beans and framed me, and these people on the list were involved, but grandpa said that they were too many people, so I advise you to endure it for the time being."
Liu Ci opened the paper tube, quickly memorized the name on the paper, handed the parchment to the candlestick and burned it before turning his head and asking Weiyi:
"If it's you, can you bear this breath?"
Wei Yi shook his head expressionlessly.
Liu Ci is a daughter of a family, but she is the N generation of demons, and the arrogance in her bones has something in common. Scheming, words like compromise and balance are not remembered in Weiyi's mind, if it is her, someone will provoke herself, and she will definitely find a way to return it.
"Like you, I can't bear to breathe as if nothing happened. Thank you grandpa for your advice, but I'll fix it my own way. ”
Liu Ci didn't want to leave Amster City in a short period of time, she couldn't back down, she had to let others back down!
It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, she is a small-hearted woman, and a gentleman can't eat it......
…………
In the next two days, Liu Ci didn't do anything more, and took Stuart and a few people around the city, tasting delicious food, and enjoying a leisurely little life.
Mrs. Soort brewed a hurricane later than Liu Ci had expected.
It took three days after taking the antidote to the herb that Soorf took action. The Catrina Garden Apartment, which was burned down by Liu Ci a few days ago, has once again attracted the attention of the people of the entire Amster City.
In this pink-scented land of legends, the lord of the castle is said to have not even worn a pair of pants when he was stuck in bed.
In addition to the lady of the city lord, who was recovering from a serious illness, the people present also included the archbishop of the diocese of Amster. The marriage between the lord and the lady of Thor was witnessed by the god of light, and the lord broke his oath of loyalty to his spouse.
For this farce, it is generally believed that Madame Soort took the archbishop to catch the traitor herself, and only a small number of politically sensitive people saw the truth hidden behind the farce.
The marriage between the lord of the city and the daughter of the Duke of Thor officially broke down for more than 20 years, and the archbishop decided that he was no longer suitable for the position of lord of the city. The daughter of Duke Soorr, the wife of the former city lord, will temporarily replace her ex-husband's position, and after the Empire issues the appointment order, Madame Soort will be the new female city lord of Emst City!
Liu Ci secretly praised Mrs. Soorr's quick and accurate movements, and her seizure of power was very beautiful.
The former city lord obviously had the support of the Holy See, and Madame Soort attacked the shield with the spear of the other, and attracted the power of the Holy See to deal with the former city lord, which overturned him like a thunderbolt.
After Liu Ci heard the news, he patted Stull on the shoulder: "Your matter has been resolved!" ”
Madame Soort is on the throne, and no one will pursue Stuart anymore.
