Chapter 555: The Sword of the Past and the Fish and Meat of the Present
The city is still the same city, but the white stone on the tower of the city gate has been replaced by the word ten thousand demons.
The streets are full of ancient buildings, lively and noisy, and after several baptisms of war, the streets in memory can no longer be found in today's city.
Walking and watching all the way, none of the once familiar faces appeared, and it wasn't until the city lord's mansion that Xiaohu'er suddenly realized, maybe this is the only place that hasn't changed.
The solemn stone building and high gate, the simple and mottled white walls and gray tiles, the traces of the white stone city have left a strong mark here, as long as the city lord's mansion does not fall, people will never forget the name of this place.
Before arriving, Hu Ye didn't know why, he actually hid his original appearance and replaced it with the face of another fox brother, and the soldiers at the door didn't know this 'benevolent brother', so they wouldn't let them in.
After Hu Ye took out the city lord's mansion and released the pass token, the two of them were let in, and after arriving here, Hu Ye did not alarm the others, Hu Ye only called the city supervisor's house to serve.
It seems that he often sees the costume of Lord Hu Dagu, and the old housekeeper didn't ask a word of superfluous nonsense, but only respectfully saluted the two, and then led the two to the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion.
Generally, the backyard of the mansion is the residence of family members, and it is not convenient for outsiders to visit at all, but the housekeeper of the city lord's mansion is stunned to lead the two of them on a rampage, and he is not afraid of disturbing the women in the backyard at all.
It was only after passing through most of the garden that the little fox found that the backyard of the city lord's mansion was a decoration, except for a group of heavily armored government soldiers, not even a single servant was seen!
With deep doubts, they followed behind the butler, and after walking for most of the incense, the three of them came to a pavilion. Seeing that the housekeeper was following, the guards did not interrogate much, but after reading the warrant of the valley master, they opened the attic prohibition and let the three people in.
The inside of the huge pavilion was empty, as long as a white light door flickered brightly and dimly, exuding spatial fluctuations.
The little fox was completely confused, a teleportation light gate was also cultivated so secretly, where did the fifth brother want to take him?
The doubt didn't last long, and after the three of them came out of the teleportation light door, Xiao Fox found out that the place where the fifth brother brought her was actually a fine iron casting underground cell!
After leading the two of them into the only room without iron bars, the housekeeper ordered the guards to bring refreshments and fruits, and then bowed down to ask Lord Hu Dagu whether to interrogate the prisoner.
Hu Ye bowed his head, reached out and took a sip of the teacup, and then ordered: "Go, bring people up." ”
"Yes, the valley lord will wait, and his subordinates will send people here. ”
The little fox said in his heart Sure enough, this old housekeeper really knows the identity of the fifth brother! But then again, the ready-made city lord doesn't need it, he wants to find the housekeeper below him to lead the way, which one is the fifth brother playing?
The housekeeper personally went down to interrogate the criminals, leaving only a few guards to serve carefully with tea and water, but the lord of Hu Dagu was accustomed to the common strange things, but our fox was uncomfortable.
It is estimated that any female cultivator who is served by a few rough old men will not feel comfortable in her heart.
"Fifth brother brought me here all the way, shouldn't he ask me to help interrogate the prisoner?"
The tea cup didn't move, the melons and fruits didn't taste, because of the presence of outsiders, the little fox had already given enough face to Lord Hu Dagu, if he looked at him again, then she really couldn't help but beat people.
"There's no need to wait here, you guys go down!" After retreating from the guards with a straight face, Hu Ye showed a flattering smile and whispered to the little fox: "Wait for a while, just a little while...... Come, drink some tea to quench the anger first, and when someone comes, you think it's not worth waiting, and then it's not too late to get angry at the fifth brother......"
Seeing that the fifth brother had already said this, the little fox had to take a few sips of the teacup and wait patiently.
Fortunately, she didn't have to wait too long, and when the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion escorted people in, the little fox's teacup froze in mid-air, and a pair of eyes almost didn't stare out of her eyes.
"Master Hu Gu, leave the girl, don't come to harm......"
He bowed deeply to the two people in the seat, and the person who came stood quietly in the middle of the room, neither humble nor arrogant, without the slightest consciousness of being a human prisoner.
"White ...... Bai Ling?"
"It's the poor road. ”
If it weren't for the fact that this familiar aura had already penetrated deep into the bone marrow, it would be difficult for the little fox to imagine that the gray-haired old woman below would be Bai Ling, the master of a dignified sect.
"Good...... Very good...... It's really a good thing to meet the old man here, it seems that the fifth brother has put a lot of thought into making me happy as a girl......"
The consternation on his face was replaced by coldness, and the little fox's gaze became more and more calm, but behind the calmness, there was a momentum that made everyone's hearts beat slowly brewing.
"Hey...... Little sister, I really don't dare to be greedy for this credit to your fifth brother, if it weren't for Sect Master Bai to send it to the door himself, the fifth brother really didn't know where to find her. ”
As soon as he heard this, the little fox's eyes flashed, and he thought of a possibility: "Oh? Could it be that Sect Master Bai gave up the Sect Master Throne...... Can't escape?"
"That's not right, if you have already escaped, why do you want to kill yourself and run to you by yourself?" The previous sentence was said to Hu Ye, but this sentence was directed at Bai Ling.
Bai Ling was ready to die by the neck, and after she explained the cause and effect clearly, she made a request, asking the little fox to let her relatives go, and in exchange, it was the secret of the black harrier's headquarters.
For this request, the little fox was obviously moved, but after a little thought, he found doubts in Bai Ling's words.
Since she Bai Ling chose to escape, she had already given up on the Bai family, and since she was so indifferent, how could she deliberately come back and choose such a path of death because of the life and death of these people?
Could it be ...... All this is just a trap, and Bai Ling is just a pawn in it to lure himself?
From a little-known minor cultivator to the head of the dignified Yuqing Sect, after so many years of mixing in all strata of the cultivation realm, how could Bai Ling not have the ability to observe words and colors? As soon as the little fox frowned, the treacherous and cunning Bai Ling immediately guessed what he was thinking, and then said with a miserable smile: "When the formation was broken, the poor road happened to be in the Northern Regions. ”
"Oh, you're going with the Black Harrier?"
"No, Poor Dao is alone. ”
The conversation is not long, but there are too many meanings.
The little fox frowned and was silent, a pair of bright eyes only kept wandering around Bai Ling's body, not knowing what he was thinking, and Bai Ling was like no one, letting the other party look at her.
couldn't stand the dumb riddle conversation between the two, Hu Ye interjected directly: "There's nothing to think about, no matter what this thief says, she can't save her life, as for the Bai family...... Don't worry, I won't let go of any of them in the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, but if you, the thief, can pour out all the secrets in your belly, the lord of this valley can consider giving you a happy death. ”
