When Yiqian's family of three was comforting each other, Dugu Yi also stayed in the inn.

"Wait a minute. Dugu Yi called out to the innkeeper who ushered him into the guest room.

"What else do you command?" the guy asked respectfully, not despusing Dugu Yi because of his young age.

Dugu Yi didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly: "Did the city lord of this Lacquered City leave Lacquered City ten years ago?"

"This ......"

The guy tilted his head and thought for a moment before replying, "City Lord Situ didn't come to Qiyuan City ten years ago, I remember that City Lord Situ only came here eight years ago. ”

"Then how did he become the city lord?" Dugu Yi asked. Generally speaking, the city lord is chosen from the local famous family, and Dugu Yi really can't imagine that a person who has just arrived in Lacquer Wall City will ascend to the throne of the city lord.

"Well......" the guy shook his head slightly.

Dugu Yi naturally understood what the guy was thinking, and raised his hand to throw a gold coin out.

"Thank you. The guy took the gold coin in surprise and held it in front of his eyes and looked left and right, although there was a sense of reward, but it was impossible to think that Dugu Yi would get the gold coin as soon as he made a move.

"Answer my question. Dugu Yi coldly urged.

"Yes, yes. The guy nodded again and again, and said, "Eight years ago, the Situ City Lord came to Qiyuan City with the appointment of the imperial capital. ”

"Directly appointed by the emperor?"

"Yes!" the man nodded, and said, "At that time, there were many people who didn't believe that a small city lord needed to be appointed by the emperor himself, but after the city lord Situ took out the edict, those people were speechless, and the edict really came from the imperial court." ”

When the guy said this, he bowed down to Dugu Yi and whispered in his ear: "Even if the city lord of Situ has the emperor's edict in hand, several major families in the city are not convinced by him, and they have sent killers several times before and after, and I heard that there are still a few people among those killers who are Wuzong. ”

Although the man didn't say the result, he knew the result when he saw that Situ Yunlong was now also a city lord.

"Martial Sect can't deal with him!" Dugu Yi sighed in his heart and asked again, "Do you know what he did before he became the city lord?"

"It seems to be a mercenary. The man straightened up and continued: "It was a very hot topic at that time for the imperial capital to suddenly send someone to take over Qiyuan City, so there were all kinds of rumors, especially about the identity of the city lord, but the well-founded ones were mercenaries, after all, the city lord's family crest was the regimental emblem of a famous mercenary group in the imperial capital, and the mercenary group also disappeared from the imperial capital. ”

"It turned out to be a mercenary. ”

The man nodded again, and said again: "There are also rumors that the city lord of Situ was appointed by the emperor because he went to a small country in the far east to complete a secret mission. ”

After hearing this, Dugu Yi waved to the guy and said, "You go down first." ”

"You have a good rest. The man bowed before exiting the room.

Dugu Yi needed time to sort out the 'rumors' he had just heard.

A mercenary may have been appointed by the emperor as the lord of Qiyuan City because he killed Dugu Yi's father, that is to say, killing Dugu Hong may have been ordered by the emperor of the Dude Empire?

Dugu Yi has no memory of when he was three years old, so he can't remember whether he fled with Dugu Hong before, but he still remembers that the people in that small village often said that Dugu Hong was an outsider, so it seems that the probability that Dugu Hong fled from the Dude Empire to the Minghe Kingdom is very high.

"Whew......" Dugu Yi exhaled deeply and lay down on the bed. What is the truth? Could it really be the same as what was inferred from just a few rumors?

"Flash away. ”

"Bang Bang ......"

"Ah......h

Dugu Yi heard the noisy sound on the street, turned over and got up, and came to the window, and when he opened the window, he saw more than 100 people dressed in the costumes of the city lord's mansion galloping towards the south city gate.

"It's ...... I'm going to the city of Dolon. Dugu Yi simply guessed the whereabouts and purpose of this group of people, as long as you think of what Yi Qian said before and the direction these people are going, it is not difficult to guess.

Dugu Yi watched more than a hundred people pass in front of the building, and when the last horse disappeared around the corner, he also tilted his head in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, and said secretly in his heart: "Now the defense of the City Lord's Mansion must be empty, right?"

Thinking like this, Dugu Yi also had a plan to visit the city lord's mansion at night, so he lay back on the bed and waited for the night to fall.

Cai Yu saw that Dugu Yi did not practice like peacetime, and his little eyes showed a little confusion, but what Dugu Yi wanted to do was also out of his control.

It was already nearly dusk when Dugu Yi stayed at the inn, so it didn't take long for the sky to gradually darken. However, Dugu Yi did not act in a hurry, called for food, ate a full meal and rested for a while before walking out of the inn with Caiyu.

"How's it going here?"

Dugu Yi asked Caiyu in a low voice. At this time, they had already circled around the City Lord's Mansion for half a circle, which was a place that Dugu Yi thought was more hidden and suitable.

Cai Yu on the wall nodded slightly, it also knew what Dugu Yi was going to do, so it didn't even make a sound!

Dugu Yi finally looked at both sides of the darkness again, and made sure that no one bounced up, grabbing the wall and looking into the courtyard where no one was around.

After waiting for a while, no one passed, and Dugu Yi jumped into the courtyard. Although he successfully came in, what should he do next? You can't directly ask Situ Yunlong why he killed Dugu Hong.

"Let's find a study or something like that, maybe some clues will be recorded. ”

After making up his mind, Dugu Yi tiptoed towards the room in front of him, and Cai Yu was not idle, helping Dugu Yi to let go in the air.

After groping in the City Lord's Mansion for half an hour, he didn't meet anyone, and Dugu Yi gradually felt at ease, the departure of more than a hundred people really made the City Lord's Mansion relax.

"There are still people who haven't slept. Dugu Yi, who was hiding in a corner, saw a room with lights still on, and wanted to turn around and leave.

"Who?"

As soon as Dugu Yi turned around, a middle-aged man's voice came out of the room.

"Discovered?" Dugu Yi had just raised such doubts in his heart, and the pain in his right shoulder told him the answer, and Dugu Yi realized that he had indeed underestimated this city lord's mansion, so that now he didn't even have a chance to regret it.

"Teenager?"

A startled voice sounded above Dugu Yi's head, obviously the other party didn't expect that the person who broke into the City Lord's Mansion at night was just a teenager.

"What's going on?"

When Dugu Yi and the person who found him were silent, a person came out of the room with the light on, and when he heard the voice, he knew that he was the first middle-aged man to speak out.

"City Lord!" grabbed the person in front of Dugu Yi and called respectfully, and escorted Dugu Yi towards Situ Yunlong.

Dugu Yi didn't care about being grabbed by his shoulders and looked up at Situ Yunlong. This person is the enemy who killed his father?

"Young man, one-eyed?" Situ Yunlong was also taken aback after seeing Dugu Yi's face clearly, and then his face changed, and he asked urgently: "How old are you this year?

Situ Yunlong opened his mouth to ask such a question, which made Dugu Yi believe that Situ Yunlong was the murderer of his father, which showed how deeply impressed Situ Yunlong was in Situ Yunlong's heart ten years ago.
