Castle Lord's Mansion.

"Madame, ma'am. The housekeeper, who was anxiously walking back and forth in the room, couldn't help but exclaim when he saw Liu Cuidi's slender eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Hmm~" Lin Ke leaned on the side of the bed and waited drowsy, woke up in the housekeeper's call, and held Liu Cuidi's hand worriedly, "Mother, you are awake." ”

Opening her eyes, her gaze changed from hazy to clear, Liu Cuidi heard her son's familiar voice, looked at her son's face with a pale face, she hurriedly sat up, holding Lin Ke's cheeks with both hands.

"Ke'er" then hugged Lin Ke, tears flowed down, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, fortunately her son was fine.

"Sister," meanwhile, a middle-aged man hurried into the house.

"Your Excellency!" said the butler respectfully.

"Eh, sister, don't move. The middle-aged man just glanced at the housekeeper and saw that Liu Cuidi was about to get out of bed to greet him, and walked quickly. This person's name is Liu Handa, who is the deputy city guard of Kuiyang Pass, and is also Liu Cuidi's cousin.

Usually the relationship between the two families is very good, he and Lin Zhe can basically be regarded as brothers wearing the same pants, and if something happened to the Lin family, he naturally came as soon as possible.

Moreover, his position as the deputy city guard did not rely on relationships, his own cultivation was also extremely good, and he was also a first-class master in Kuiyang Pass, only slightly inferior to Lin Zhe.

"Handa" and "Uncle" Lin Ke's mother and son shouted one after another, Liu Handa nodded and frowned, "Sister, what's going on, what's wrong with Lin Zhe?"

Liu Cuidi told the housekeeper what he had told him, and he cried as he spoke.

After she finished speaking, Liu Handa frowned and sorted out his thoughts, "It's so miserable that even Zhou Xian's nephew won't let go, this ...... Has Brother Zhe offended anyone recently?" Liu Cuidi shook her head at his question, but then a name appeared in her mind, and she was suddenly stunned.

"Does my sister remember anything?"

Liu Cuidi nodded, his pale eyes showed hatred, and he slowly spit out three words, "Man... Sha... Leigh"

This name made Liu Handa feel familiar, and countless faces skipped in his mind, "But Mansally of the Red Female Mercenary Guild?"

Liu Cuidi nodded and told Liu Handa what happened to her husband, son and Zhou Tai in the Red Woman Mercenary Union.

Liu Handa heard that Mansally turned out to be a master of the Hundred Spirit Realm, his heart trembled, he didn't know this news before, he was in retreat recently, if he hadn't received a message from the Lin family's housekeeper, he might not know when he would be out of the customs, and moreover, Mansally's strength was also exposed in Lin Zhe's sudden attack.

If before, everyone would think that she was just a beginner level of gathering spirits, and others were afraid of her deep background, otherwise, with that delicate body that makes people spew blood, she is simply a fire-breathing stunner, and she has long become a plaything under other people's crotches, but now he would never dare to think so.

"It shouldn't be possible, although the woman is cruel, she never kills in secret. ”

"How is it impossible, it is that woman, it must be her revenge, otherwise Lin Zhe and the others have no grievances, how could they suddenly disappear and only the hilt of the sword remained, why did even Zhou's nephew die tragically, it must be that crazy woman. The more Liu Cuidi spoke, the more excited she became, her face was extremely hideous, in her heart, she felt that she didn't need evidence, it must have been Mansally who did it, because only she had the strength, and she did it so neatly that people had no chance to resist.

As soon as her words fell, Lin Ke handed the hilt of the sword on the table to Liu Handa.

"This ......" At first, he also saw the hilt of this sword when he came in, but he didn't pay attention to it, and now he took a closer look, and it was so smooth that it was like a natural cross-section, how much power control was needed, and he was shocked in his heart that Mansari's strength was strong, before, Mansally was inconspicuous, and she won the title of a female tyrant, and now, knowing that she was still a master of the Bailing Realm, made him more and more jealous, and that woman's background was huge, so that he didn't have the slightest idea of revenge, and whether it was she was still sure.

But he thought so, but Liu Cuidi, who was in extreme grief, didn't think so, she wanted revenge.

At this time, the real murderer was leisurely cultivating on the soft bed, and he had no idea how serious the impact of what he did last night was.

......

The day passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time for the gates to be opened once in seven days. Early in the morning, there was a knock on the courtyard door, and Mansally told Ning Hong to hurry up and get ready, and she would leave in an hour.

And in front of the city gates, countless monks and mortals who wanted to travel gathered.

"What's the matter, when the time comes, why don't you open the door yet, isn't it all open at this time?

......

"If this continues, my trip will be delayed, there are many goods in this order, and the overdue compensation amount is enough to have two low-grade spirit stones!" A wealthy merchant frowned and looked at the cargo convoy behind him, and said secretly in his heart.

......

"Dad, why don't you open the door yet! I want to go to Yunguo to meet my grandparents. A little girl shook her father's big hand and puffed out her mouth.

"Yi'er, wait a little while and we'll be able to get out of the city. The father stroked her petite head with a kind face, and then picked her up.

"Yes, Yi'er, when you get to your grandparents, your mother will take you to eat your favorite marshmallows. Seeing that her daughter didn't believe it, her mother also comforted her.

......

......

"Look, it's Liu (deputy) city guard" As a voice shouted, everyone raised their heads and focused their eyes on the figure on the city wall defense platform, who was in battle armor and was not angry and arrogant, but at this time, there was also a gorgeously dressed middle-aged man standing next to Liu Handa.

"Everyone, be quiet. The sound was infused with aura, and it clearly entered everyone's ears, and the noise originally caused by dissatisfaction and complaints gradually subsided, but there was still a prickly chatter.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Lord Li Zhong Li from the Imperial City. ”

Hearing that Li Zhong was from the Imperial City, everyone was surprised.

"What? What does it mean that someone from the Imperial City is coming, is there something going on?"

"I heard that Lin Zhe was broken by a female tyrant in the Red Lady Mercenary Guild a few days ago, it can't be that he came for this matter!"

"It's possible, after all, Lin Zhe is also a member of the imperial court, and the majesty of the royal family is inviolable.

.........

Everyone was speculating about the meaning of this Li Zhong, and the news of Lin Zhe's disappearance and Zhou Tai's unwitting killing in the City Lord's Mansion was blocked, and only the real bigwigs in the city knew about it.

"Everyone is quiet" Li Zhong carried his back with his left hand and pressed his right hand.

Hearing the words of the big man from the Imperial City, everyone closed their mouths, and Li Zhong looked around, "Just yesterday, in the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord disappeared, and his nephew was choked his throat alive in the City Lord's Mansion. ”

Zhao Guiting's disappearance was not listed by him, because he was just a small person with no background.

This news came out of his mouth, causing an exclamation below, and Li Zhong's peaceful gaze swept over everyone's faces.

For this matter, the impact is too great, you must know that a high-level city guard of the Gathering Spirit is extremely scarce, and cultivating such a high-level Gathering Spirit does not know how many resources will be consumed, so it disappeared inexplicably, which made the Son of Heaven feel shocked and angry, so he sent him to investigate.

Although Liu Handa blocked the flow of people from Kuiyang Pass as soon as he learned the news, it had been a night since he was killed, and Li Zhong was not sure whether the murderer had fled Kuiyang Pass for the surrounding cities that night.

It seems that the murderer should not be here, or that he is well hidden.

"I am very ashamed to delay everyone's trip, and I am sorry here, but this matter is the majesty of the imperial court, I hope you will understand. Li Zhong's words were calm and kind, and then he took out a jade plate from the storage bag, the jade plate was the size of a palm, "Next, I will use a qi-seeking spirit array to investigate the murderer, you don't need to panic, if you see someone deliberately running away, please help stop it, Li has thanked you here." ”

The crowd nodded.

On the city wall, Liu Handa took out the hilt of the sword left by Lin Zhe wrapped in white cloth and the small purple skin on Zhou Tai's neck and carefully handed it to Li Zhong.

A stream of spiritual energy poured out from the palm of the right hand of the jade plate, converging on the jade plate, and the surface of the jade plate began to flash with golden light, and the light patterns skipped over the two objects, but after a breath, the light pattern spirit array rotated smoothly on the surface of the jade plate, but there was a trace of flowing white lines in the golden light.

With a wave of his left hand, Li Zhong returned the two items to the white cloth in Liu Handa's hand, and with a soft snort, he slowly threw the jade plate into the air above the crowd, and suddenly sealed it in his hand.

"Qi Array, go!"

The jade plaque shattered in response to his low shout, and a spiritual aura hit the jade plate, and the golden light spirit array in it emitted a bright light that continued to amplify in the air, enveloping the area of a square circle in front of the city gate, and wisps of peaceful golden light fell in this range, making the people in it feel warm.

At the same time, Li Zhong and Liu Handa's eyes were as sharp as falcons, and they found the slightest difference in the crowd.

"If you find a red light on someone's body, please help stop it!" Li Zhongping's clear voice sounded in everyone's ears, "Next, the city gate opened, and everyone lined up to pass through it one by one, and the people behind who had not yet taken their turn stood outside the aperture." ”

After saying that, the two of them walked up the inner stairs from the city wall to the city gate, and behind them were sixteen people, eight of whom were famous people in Kuiyang City, and eight of them were the guards who opened the city gate.

"Look, isn't that the head of the Ming family?"

"And that, the fast knife man in the city - Wu Bo. ”

"That's a yin and yang casual guest"

......

One by one, the names were called, and I couldn't help but feel comfortable when I heard the voices of others talking and seeing the awe of the strong in the eyes of others.

Six of the eight people stopped on both sides of the aperture, and two stood in the middle of the aperture, while Li Zhong and Liu Handa came to the city gate and said, "Open the city gate." ”

"Yes!" Hearing Li Zhong's words, the other eight people stood in front of the city gate, their hands quickly sealed, dazzling, and finally lined up on the city gate, from the place where they slapped a golden light gushed out, eight golden lights converged in the middle of the tall city gate, forming a golden disc, a striped road extended from the disc to the outside, like a writhing spirit snake, but only two breaths of time, the tall and heavy city gate began to open a gap, making a heavy sound of stones rubbing.

"Stop!" When the city gate opened to the point where only one person could be allowed to pass through, Li Zhong shouted, and the hands of the eight people quickly withdrew from it.

Li Zhong turned to look at the gathered crowd and smiled, "Okay, let's start." ”
