Chapter 147: City Lord He

"Junior Liu Zhan, I've seen City Lord He." Liu Zhan saluted in front, and Qiao Qixin also bent down.

City Lord He calmly sprinkled tea leaves into the teapot before getting up when he was done.

He put his hands behind his back, like an elder, "Why are you here?" What about Dali Temple? ”

"Master, his old man has difficulty moving, and besides, one junior is enough." Liu Zhan was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Oh?" City Lord He looked sideways at Qiao Qixin behind Liu Zhan, "Really?" So what's going on with this little girl behind you? Don't tell the old man that this is your favor. ”

"Back to the city lord, I am a painter of the official government, and I was ordered by the Dali Temple to paint a portrait of the prisoner." Qiao Qixin said.

Liu Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was surprised by Qiao Qixin's reaction.

"Oh? Official painter? City Lord He sneered, "Dali Temple is now so downcast? actually recruited a little girl to be a painter. ”

Qiao Qixin: ? Looking down on little girl films?

She was just about to refute when she saw Liu Zhan raise his hand to stop her behind her.

"This girl's painting skills are extraordinary, and she is fortunate to have her, but this is the important part of this trip." Liu Zhan said.

City Lord He sneered, "Oh? I don't know why Xiaoyou came this time. ”

"Dali Temple received a call for help, saying that the bandits in Luo City were in turmoil, and the important people in the city were indifferent." Liu Zhan looked at City Lord He and said bluntly.

For some reason, Qiao Qixin always felt a chill behind her back.

She glanced back and saw a white figure flash behind a red pillar in the courtyard outside the house.

Qiao Qixin vigilantly stepped forward and pulled the hem of Liu Zhan's clothes.

"What's wrong?" Liu Zhan whispered.

Qiao Qixin also whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Someone is staring at us." ”

Liu Zhan lowered his eyes for a moment, then nodded slightly.

He turned to face City Lord He, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "The junior dares to ask City Lord He if there is chaos in this city. ”

Lord He twisted the fresh petals in the vase on the table, "What do you think?" ”

"The juniors don't know." Liu Zhan said lightly.

"Really?" City Lord He's eyes narrowed slightly, "The old man thinks that the old man is very peaceful in this city." ”

"What the seniors say, the juniors will truthfully report to the court." Liu Zhan said.

Qiao Qixin silently praised Liu Zhan in her heart.

Awesome, move directly to the superiors.

City Lord He's eyes were cold, as if he wanted to cut Liu Zhan into pieces.

Liu Zhan greeted him without fear.

"Hehe, why are you so nervous, there is no deep hatred between you and me." City Lord He suddenly smiled and pushed a cup of tea to Liu Zhan, "This is a good Longjing, Xiaoyou try it." ”

Georgette pulled Liu Zhan's sleeves.

Don't drink it, this old thing didn't hold back its fart.

Liu Zhan glanced back at Qiao Qixin, gave her a "reassured" look, and then picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"City Lord He, can you talk about the chaos in the city now?" Liu Zhan said.

City Lord He stared at Liu Zhan gloomily, and then suddenly laughed again, "Xiaoyou's words are quite ambiguous, I live in Luo City clearly, and the people in the city all praise it, why do you say it." ”

He refused to admit it.

Liu Zhan had no choice but to show his hole cards.

"Since the juniors entered Suiluo City, they have encountered several assassinations."

"Oh? Is there such a thing? City Lord He had a surprised expression, but there was only a chill in his eyes.

Liu Zhan ignored City Lord He's eyes, and said, "Fortunately, the junior is very lucky, the two assassins missed on the way to escape and were caught by the juniors." ”

"Now it has been sent to Dali Temple in the capital."

City Lord He pondered for a moment, "If ...... If this is true, the old man will not turn a blind eye......"

Aren't those two assassins locked up in the backyard of the inn? When was it sent to the capital?

Qiao Qixin was puzzled, but she didn't ask on the spot, and there was nothing unusual on her face.

"Then with the cooperation of the city lord of Laohe, the juniors will retire first." Liu Zhan saluted, and then walked away.

Qiao Qixin also hurriedly followed.

"Finished?" Georges asked.

Liu Zhan didn't respond, and walked forward on his own.

Qiao Qixin understood, shut up and stopped talking.

Suddenly, Qiao Qixin's eyes went dark, and the whole person was dragged backwards......

β€”β€”

Where is this?

Qiao Qixin sat up from the ground.

It was dark and damp, and there was a faint sound of water droplets.

Recalling the scene before she fell unconscious, Qiao Qixin hurriedly got up from the ground and groped her way forward.

In just five steps, my hands touched something coldβ€”a railing.

Georgette fumbled a few times and found herself in a cage now.

He Mansion is actually in prison?

Qiao Qixin was puzzled.

Wait, what about Liu Zhan? He's not going to be locked up somewhere else, is he?

Georgette tentatively knocked on the railing and made some noise.

No one responded.

"Liu Zhan?" Qiao Qixin shouted boldly.

"I'm here."

This response startled Qiao Qixin.

"It scared me to death, I thought we were locked up in different places." Qiao Qixin patted her chest and said, "Do you know how to get out?" ”

In the dark, Qiao Qixin couldn't see clearly, and could only judge Liu Zhan's location based on his voice.

"I don't know, I just know that this is a cage under Hefu." Liu Zhan said, "Don't walk around, there may be other people's corpses here, don't scare you." ”

"What? Remains! Qiao Qixin hugged the railing in fright, "When can we go out?" Dali Temple will send someone to support us, right? ”

There was a cry in her voice.

Qiao Qixin is still young, and she hasn't lived enough.

"I went to ask for help, and Master fooled you to come over, do you think my Master might send someone out to support again?" Liu Zhan said calmly.

"But, if we don't go back, Dali Siqing will definitely know that something happened to us." Qiao Qixin hugged the railing and wanted to cry without tears.

"Let's think about how to escape from prison when he waits." Liu Zhan said, "When he remembered to take a look, the two of us would have already turned into white bones." ”

Qiao Qixin hugged the pole and howled, "Is there really no way, can only wait for death?" ”

"Be calm, since you have entered Dali Temple, you should be prepared for these things." Liu Zhan said.

"But I'm just a painter......" Qiao Qixin asked Cang Tian speechlessly.

"Crazy guys, it doesn't matter if you're an artist or whatever."

Liu Zhan said lightly.

"Why are you so calm, as if you are not afraid at all." Qiao Qixin was dissatisfied.

"If you encounter more, you will naturally not be afraid." Liu Zhan leaned against the wall, "Don't worry, you won't die." ”

"Are you Hades? Say I won't die if I don't die. Qiao Qixin hugged the railing and said dissatisfied.

Liu Zhan rolled over, "Okay, then you'll die." ”

Qiao Qixin: ......

In the gloomy cage, Liu Zhan's even and steady breathing sounded.

This guy actually fell asleep......

Georgette pouted.

Is it really that I am too timid? No, it's obvious that Liu Zhan is too perverted.

Qiao Qixin nodded, very sure of this idea.

My stomach gurgled and growled.

Qiao Qixin rubbed it, and then exchanged it for a bean paste cake in the system space.

She took a bite, then thought about it and exchanged another one.

"Wake up! Aren't you hungry! Qiao Qixin came to the railing closest to Liu Zhan.

"Huh? What? Liu Zhan was stunned for a moment and sat up from the ground.

Qiao Qixin knocked on the railing and signaled her position, "I said, aren't you hungry?" ”

"It's fine." Liu Zhan rubbed his eyes and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Come here." Qiao Qixin said.

Liu Zhan walked over obediently.

Qiao Qixin stretched out half of her arm into Liu Zhan's cage and waved, and hit Liu Zhan's waist with a "snap".

"Ah, I'm sorry." Qiao Qixin apologized insincerely, and then estimated the position and sent the red bean cake to Liu Zhan, "Hey, red bean cake, eat some." ”

Liu Zhan took the red bean cake and took a bite, "Where did you get this?" ”

Qiao Qixin snorted arrogantly, "I won't tell you!" ”

Liu Zhan lowered his head and nibbled on the red bean crisp - he was indeed hungry.

Qiao Qixin also sat down against the wall.

I don't know how long I'll be here, hey......

"Bang!"

There was a sound of chains, followed by a heavy, shrell sound of the door opening.

Who?

Qiao Qixin was taken aback.

A figure walked slowly carrying a lantern.

It was a little dazzling, and Qiao Qixin blinked her eyes several times before she got used to it.

"City Lord He." Liu Zhan stood up from the ground and said slowly.

"Hehe, are you still used to living there?" City Lord He said with a smile.

His smile was very gloomy in the flickering candlelight.

"Why doesn't City Lord He live by himself?" Liu Zhan said.

"Even at this point, Xiaoyou is still so hard-mouthed, and the old man likes it." He City Lord said, "To make a long story short, where did Xiaoyou hide the two assassins?" The old man sent someone to escort him, but he couldn't find anyone. ”

"Why should the city lord care about this?" Even if he was in a cage, Liu Zhan still confronted City Lord He without humility or arrogance.

Qiao Qixin silently shouted cheers for Liu Zhan in her heart.

"Hehe, look at what Xiaoyou said, doesn't the old man want to help you share the burden?" He Cheng Zhu Dao.

"There's no need for the city lord to worry." Liu Zhan's face was indifferent.

"Boy, it looks like you're going to toast and not eat and drink." City Lord He said with a cold face.

Liu Zhan still had an indifferent face.

City Lord He squinted and looked at Liu Zhan dangerously, but after a moment, he seemed to have changed his mind.

"Hehe, why should Xiaoyou be like this, the old man is just a good heart." City Lord He smiled and said, "The old man will come over again after a cup of tea, if Xiaoyou still doesn't cooperate, then ......"

City Lord He looked at Qiao Qixin on the side.

"Xiaoyou's red face is ......"

Before he finished speaking, City Lord He snorted and laughed twice, and then left the underground cage.

Qiao Qixin looked at Liu Zhan, "Do you have a way to get out?" ”

Liu Zhan glanced at Qiao Qixin, and then there was a "clanging" sound in the air.

"What?" Qiao Qixin was puzzled.

"Keys."

A big question mark popped up on Qiao Qixin's head, "Where did it come from??" ”

"It was just brought down by the city lord He." Liu Zhan said calmly.

"When??" Qiao Qixin was even more shocked.

When City Lord He came just now, Liu Zhan had his hands behind his back the whole time! How did you get the keys?

There are all kinds of doubts in my heart.

Liu Zhan opened the cell door with his backhand, and then opened Qiao Qixin's cell door as well.

"Come with me."

He pulled Qiao Qixin and ran in the other direction.

The dungeon was very dark, and Qiao Qixin couldn't see it at all, so she could only follow Liu Zhan in fear.

"It's here, you wait for me." Liu Zhan stopped suddenly, Qiao Qixin didn't have time to react, and hit Liu Zhan's back directly.

Liu Zhan turned around and helped Qiao Qixin steady, then let go of Qiao Qixin and climbed up.

Qiao Qixin stood motionless, for fear that Liu Zhan would not be able to touch her when he came back.

I only heard a sound overhead, and as some particles of earth fell, the cold moonlight poured down overhead.

"Huh?" Qiao Qixin stared blankly at Liu Zhan, who was shrouded in moonlight at the entrance of the cave.

"What's the fuss? Come on up and beware of being discovered. Liu Zhan urged softly.

Qiao Qixin reacted, and then took Liu Zhan's hand and crawled out of the hole.

"Whewβ€”how do you know about this place?"
