Long Qingyue turned to look at him, "What's wrong?"
"I felt a call just now, and it seemed to come from this mansion." Qin Lieyan said with a deep look.
Long Qingyue was stunned, his eyes froze, and he looked up at the mansion shrouded in the moonlight, "Is that mysterious ruins under the city lord's mansion?"
Qin Lieyan's face was hidden in the dim light and shadow, and the emotion in his eyes could not be seen. There was only doubt in his voice, "I don't know, but we can find a chance to sneak in and take a look."
Hearing this, Long Qingyue raised a faint smile on her lips, "Well, you can have this."
Qin Lieyan nodded, looked back at the City Lord's Mansion, then took Long Qingyue's hand and said, "Let's go back to the inn first."
The next day, early in the morning, Long Qingyue and Qin Lieyan got up, washed briefly, and then left the inn. Since they were new to the City of Death, they were not very clear about the situation inside, so they both decided to find someone to inquire about the situation in the City Lord's Mansion.
.
The two of them came to a relatively prosperous material shop on the street, pretending to be customers buying weapons and materials, and asking for information. Because Long Qingyue and Qin Lieyan looked gentle and kind, and they were generous, the shopkeeper also
He was very enthusiastic and talked non-stop: "I think you two are new to the City of Death. They look very familiar."
"The shopkeeper has good eyesight. My husband and I were chased by enemies outside, so we had no choice but to hide here." Qin Lieyan said with a frown and a sad look on his face.
"People who come here basically want to avoid being chased by their enemies." The shopkeeper said: "Since you two are here, it's best not to be too public. Dragons and snakes are mixed here, and murder and robbery can be seen everywhere. It's best not to do so at night.
When you go out, don’t go to remote places.”
"Then won't these people cause trouble for you?" Long Qingyue asked pretending to be curious.
"The merchants here have paid protection fees to the City Lord's Mansion, and they don't dare to cause trouble with the City Lord's Mansion." The shopkeeper said with a hint of disdain.
Long Qingyue nodded suddenly, "City Lord's Mansion?"
"Yes, the City Lord's Mansion is the person in charge of the entire City of Death! However, there are five major families in the City of Death that cannot be offended. The strength of these five major families is growing day by day, and they pay less and less attention to City Lord Xie. They want to
Instead..." The shopkeeper stopped mid-sentence and looked up at the door. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no one was around. He was secretly depressed that he had said something he shouldn't have said.
After a pause, he looked up at Long Qingyue and Qin Lieyan, "Anyway, if you want to survive here safely, just don't cause trouble and don't meddle in other people's business."
"How can the thousands of years of inheritance and foundation of the City Lord's Mansion be easily shaken by others? The shopkeeper is overly concerned." Qin Lieyan said with a gentle expression.
The shopkeeper sighed softly and said: "The City Lord's Mansion has indeed been passed down for thousands of years. City Lord Xie is very powerful and just and generous. However, City Lord Xie only has one son in his life, and Young Master Xie was born with a strange disease.
No matter how many doctors we called in, they couldn't cure it. And City Lord Xie has spent almost all his energy and financial resources on Young Master Xie over the years. On the surface, the City Lord's Mansion seems to be very prosperous, but in fact it has..."
Long Qingyue and Qin Lieyan looked at each other and saw the twinkling light in each other's eyes. They were still thinking about how to sneak in before, but now they don't have to worry.
The shopkeeper did not continue talking, because at this time, new customers had arrived at the door of the store.
