Chapter 204: Burying (2)
Li Leng sighed, not knowing what to say. Seeing that Tingxue still trusts his own judgment, he is not impressed by the danger that has come, if the city lord of the underworld really does it, then Tingxue will definitely be inseparable from the underworld. If he hadn't misjudged, the other people of the Flying Snow Fox Clan who stayed outside the city would have been controlled by the guards of the Underworld. As long as the master of the City Lord's Mansion makes a move, the guards outside the city will also follow, and they will get rid of the Flying Snow Fox Clan without knowing it.
What does the empress of Loulan City know? This is clearly a trap set by the empress for the underworld, and the lord of the underworld has no choice but to kill the Flying Snow Fox Clan in order to protect himself. Therefore, in the end, the empress knew that the people of the Flying Snow Fox Clan must have been killed by the city lord of the underworld, but there was no evidence, and the empress did not dare to make a big deal about it, let alone make a move against the underworld. Unless, the empress doesn't want this world anymore.
The two of them walked slowly on the street, listening to Xue's smile and brightness, speaking of which, they still had to thank Li Leng. If it weren't for the fact that Li Leng finally caught so many dark fish, the city lord would be very happy. With the character of the lord of the underworld, it is impossible to summon them. He didn't dare to do anything to the Flying Snow Fox Clan, but when he didn't see the Flying Snow Fox Clan, the Empress didn't have much to say. In the end, it will make you think that she, the patriarch, has not done a good deed, and the task assigned by the empress has not been completed well.
When the two of them arrived at the city lord's mansion, it was the steward who received them. This time, the attitude of the steward was obviously much better than three days ago, and he bowed slightly to Tingxue, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are a person sent by the empress, and that is the person next to the Son of Heaven. ”
Listening to Xue Hehe, he smiled and said: "The steward is polite, the water washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family did not recognize the family." But no matter what, we're still a family, so how can I take your business to heart. What's more, you've helped me a lot, and I'm grateful that it's too late for you. What's going on, is the city lord willing to summon us?"
The steward smiled and said, "In the past three days, the city lord has been full of praise for the dark fish you have contributed, saying that it has been a long time since I have eaten such a delicious dark fish. Therefore, the city lord will not only give you a general order today, but also treat you well, thank you for your Stygian Fish. By the way, the city lord asked me to ask you, are there any dark fish?"
"Yes, I still have dozens of Stygian fish. Tingxue didn't suspect anything else, and directly took out all the dark fish. Since the city lord is willing to summon them, then there is no need for her to hide it, so she simply be generous and give all the dark fish to the steward.
The steward took the fish of the pluto, and after a few glances, he showed an expression of ecstasy on his face, gave these fish to the people around him, and said: "Send the fish to the fish pond immediately, and feed them well, if one of them dies, the city lord will never spare it, do you hear?"
Those people hurriedly left with the Stygian Fish, not daring to disobey the steward's orders.
The steward smiled and said, "Please also come with me to meet our city lord." After speaking, lead the way in front and take Li Leng and Tingxue in.
Hearing Xue just take a step, Li Leng grabbed her arm. Tingxue looked at Li Leng strangely and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
The steward also turned his head and looked at Li Leng with a puzzled face. His eyes were full of vigilance and murderousness.
Li Leng smiled slightly, slowly let go of his hand, and said softly: "It's nothing, let me go ahead of you!"
"Okay, ah! if you want to go to the front, you can go to the front!" Hearing Xue was very strange, took a few steps back, and stood behind Li Leng.
The steward frowned, he didn't understand what Li Leng's intention was in doing this, and he didn't care so much, and entered the City Lord's Mansion with two people.
Not far away, there was a young man quietly looking at Li Leng and Tingxue, and there was an old woman standing beside him. After a long time, the young man sighed slightly and said, "I still underestimate him." ”
The old woman was puzzled and asked, "Why did the young master say that?"
The young man said: "At the moment just now, he already knew that there was an ambush in the City Lord's Mansion. ”
The old woman frowned and said, "It's impossible, our people are already very careful, and they have blocked the aura, no matter how strong his sea perception power is, it is impossible for him to detect the murderous aura in the city lord's mansion." ”
The young man smiled faintly and said, "Some people, he doesn't need to use his mental power to see the truth of the matter. Because he uses resourcefulness. This kind of thing is far more terrifying than the power of knowing the sea. ”
The old woman didn't understand, but she always felt that the young master was the smartest person in the world, and when he said this, there must be a reason for him to say this, bowed slightly, and asked, "Young master, do you want the old slave to sit in town." As long as the young master is willing, I will definitely kill that kid. ”
The young man pondered for a while, shook his head, and said, "No, you can't make a move, I'm afraid you're in danger." Tell your father that your plans have changed and that you have changed your original plans. For some reason, he always had a very uneasy feeling, at this moment, it was not Li Leng and Tingxue who were really in danger, but them.
"Yes, young master, I will report to the city lord immediately. The old woman bowed and left. The boy did not speak for a long time.
......
Li Leng slowly followed behind the steward, while Tingxue followed behind him. Along the way, none of the three spoke, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.
After passing through a peach blossom forest, Li Leng suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "Where are you going to take us?"
The steward turned around, looked at Li Leng puzzled, and said, "You are talking so strangely, I will naturally take you to see the city lord." ”
"Really, the city lord is not in the main hall, what are you doing in this back mountain?" Li Leng clasped his hands and looked at the steward with disdain.
You make it up, keep making it up.
The steward was a little angry, and said: "The city lord is in retreat and cultivation in the back mountain, he deliberately found a time to summon you, you are good, this is also suspicious, that is also suspicious, if you don't want to see the city lord, then don't see it, really what kind of place is the city lord's mansion, you can come as you want, you can do whatever you want?"
Hearing that Xue saw that the steward was angry, he panicked, and hurriedly said, "Don't be surprised, he didn't mean that." You...... Don't talk nonsense, the lord of the city has finally summoned us, are you going to mess up this matter? I beg you, don't delay my business, okay?"
"Oh, then why don't you call out the people who are secretly ambushing?" Li Leng still had a disdainful sneer on his face, and looked at the steward like a monkey with a pair of eyes, and said, "If you don't call out, you alone can't kill us." ”
"What are you talking about?" Tingxue was stunned and realized that something was wrong.
"Haha......" The steward laughed a few times and said coldly, "I really can't underestimate you! I didn't expect that I still can't deceive you, admire, I really admire!"
