4372. Chapter 4372 What kind of tricks are you playing?
Afraid that the shopkeeper would be worried, Ling Chuxi and her grandfather and grandson waved goodbye and went to the city gate first. This Xingyang City is indispensable for the city lord's palace's spy. Since he told Master Yin to go to the city gate to wait for his junior brother, of course he had to do something.
Looks like it.
"Xiao De must have been poisoned, right?" Huangfu Qingjue looked into the distance and said thoughtfully.
"Well, there are not many people in Tianyu who are good at using poison to detoxify, and this kind of poison is extremely rare. If I didn't have some knowledge, and happened to read "All Spirits", I would know that there are several kinds of spiritual herbs that when combined together can become poisonous weeds
, I'm afraid even the poison can't be detoxified. Fortunately, Xiaode's poisoning is not deep, otherwise even if the poison is detoxified, he will not be able to fully recover his mind." Ling Chuxi said with a solemn expression.
"It seems that the so-called epidemic in Haojia Village was actually poisoned by the same poison. It is just because of the passage of time that the residual poison left in the village is not as toxic as before, so Xiao De was able to save his life." Huangfu Qingjue said.
"That's probably it. I guess all of this has something to do with the City Lord's Mansion." Ling Chuxi said.
After discovering the truth about the disaster in Haojia Village from Xiao De, Ling Chuxi was almost certain that it was all related to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Let's go and see what tricks they are playing." Seeing that it was almost time, Huangfu Qingjue took Ling Chuxi's hand and walked back to the city towards the city lord's palace.
This is also what Ling Chuxi thinks. The Lanyun Mountain Range is so big that it is not easy to find the Golden Spirit Bead. It will certainly be much easier if someone leads the way.
Ling Chuxi was a little hesitant before, whether she should become a villain and steal the golden spirit pearl from the city lord, but now that she has guessed the truth behind the epidemic in Haojia Village, she no longer hesitates at all.
For the sake of his own selfish interests, he slaughtered innocent villagers and forced the Hao clan members to leave their homes and travel far away from home. Even if such a person was cut into pieces with a thousand cuts, Ling Chuxi would never be soft-hearted.
When I arrived at the city lord's mansion, I informed the guards and soon Master Yin came out with a smile on his face.
"Why don't you see your junior brother?" Seeing that there were only two people, Ling Chuxi and Huangfu Qingjue, Master Yin asked.
"He hasn't arrived after waiting for a long time. Maybe he was delayed on the way. We are too lazy to wait for him." Ling Chuxi said.
"Then I ordered the guards at the city gate to pay attention. If any disciples from the Piaomiao Sect come, they will report it in time." Master Yin didn't pay much attention. There were many young disciples from various sects going out to practice.
The world is so vast, it’s normal for things to happen on the road.
After giving instructions to the guards at the door, Master Yin led Ling Chuxi and the two of them towards the city lord's mansion.
Although Xingyang City is dilapidated and depressed, the city lord's palace is full of small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and flying buildings. It is built in a luxurious and grand style, comparable to those of ancient aristocratic families. It is unknown how much the city lord's family has taken away from the people.
When I arrived at the splendid reception hall, I found that there were already more than 20 young people gathered in the hall, each of them was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked good-looking.
Seeing Ling Chuxi and Huangfu Qingjue, these people's eyes only stayed on their faces for a moment, then turned their heads contemptuously, and an old man with a white beard in rich clothes came to greet them.
"These two must be Miss Ling and Young Master Huangfu of the Piaomiao Clan. I, the Lord of Xingyang City, Xiao Hanshui, heard Master Yin say that the two of them are old friends, so I hope you can forgive me for not being able to greet them from afar." The old man bowed his hand.
, a friendly smile on his face makes people feel like a spring breeze.
