After arranging the specific military affairs, Lin Shan was brought to the city lord's palace in Shacheng.
In the Guidong Dynasty, the city lord of each city was the top leader of the city and had the authority to control the army and all government affairs in the territory to which it belonged.
Therefore, the City Lord's Palace is also the tallest building in every city, as well as the most majestic building located in the center.
Of course, due to the laws of the imperial court, no matter how majestic and majestic the city lord's palace is, it cannot be compared with the imperial city.
However, because the frontier fortress city was protected from wind and sand, the walls built around it exceeded regulations and were much higher than those in the imperial city.
The gate is only slightly smaller than the city gate. Walking through the deep door opening, you can see that the city wall of the city lord's palace is very thick. It is not surprising that it is an inner city.
In fact, the City Lord's Mansion can indeed be regarded as an inner city.
The city lord's family, servants' family, etc., the total number of people is estimated to be thousands.
Even if the city outside is breached, the city lord's mansion can still be defended.
Although the city lord's palace also suffered a military disaster, it was not as dilapidated as the outside. On the contrary, it was well protected.
Lin Shan was a little confused about this. Could it be that those barbarians still talked about civilization?
Walking along the corridor along the central axis to the main hall inside, Lin Shan suddenly stopped at the door.
Yan Zhenren, who had been following him, looked at Lin Shan in surprise and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Shan looked at the main hall with the door open, frowned slightly and said, "I have a very bad feeling..." "What do you mean?
Is there any danger here?"
Yan Zhenren asked and looked inside in surprise.
There was something wrong with Lin Shan's expression, and he hesitated but never crossed the threshold.
"Master, what's wrong?"
At this time, Lao Yantou also came over and asked curiously.
Lin Shan looked at the dark hall and said: "This hall makes me feel very bad.
Old Cigarette Butt, arrange another place for me."
As he spoke, Lin Shan was ready to leave.
But at this moment, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed in the hall, followed by an illusory shadow, which suddenly appeared in the hall.
"Is it the Lord of the City?"
Old Cigarette Butt said in surprise.
Before, Shacheng was invaded by Dahuang, and the city lord disappeared. Even his family did not know where the city lord had gone.
At that time, it was precisely because of the lack of this backbone that Shacheng was captured so quickly.
I just didn't expect that the city lord, who had been missing for so long, would appear at this time.
But the way he appeared was a bit scary.
"Your Majesty, Mo Yuntian, pays homage to the priest!"
Xuying saw Lin Shan and knelt on the ground respectfully.
"City Lord Mo, what's going on with you?"
Lin Shan frowned and asked.
"Master Priest, I was killed by an adulterer and am no longer alive."
"What?
Who harmed you?"
Lao Yantou asked for Lin Shan.
"He is my most trusted lieutenant! It turns out that he has defected to Dahuang.
Lord Priest, my bones are now hidden under the throne in this hall. Please Lord Priest, please let me rest in peace. I thank you.
In addition, I would like to ask the priest to take care of my family. I have been stationed at the border for these years, and I have worked hard without any credit. Although I am the most responsible for the loss of Shacheng this time, it is all my fault. Please don't implicate me.
My family, they are all innocent."
Mo Yuntian said sincerely.
Lin Shan thought for a while and said: "Okay, I agree to your request.
Then tell me, where is your adjutant now?"
"He took the Qiankun Formation Diagram and followed Su Ke to the wilderness.
Lord Priest, you must kill this villain and take back the Qiankun Formation."
"What is the Qiankun Formation Diagram?"
Lin Shan asked.
"The Universe Formation Diagram shows the spiritual veins of our Guidong Dynasty. As long as you follow this diagram, you can destroy the spiritual veins of our Guidong Dynasty. By then, our Guidong Dynasty will also be overthrown."
Mo Yuntian said.
"How come you have such an important thing in your hands?"
Lin Shan said doubtfully.
"I only have part of it, which has been passed down from generation to generation by my ancestors.
And this formation map was also divided into dozens of parts by Her Royal Highness the Queen for the sake of safety, and was given to dozens of her most trusted confidants for collection, and my ancestor was one of them."
Mo Yuntian said.
After hearing this, Lin Shan looked at Old Cigarette Butt.
Because of the privacy of the Qiankun Array, he had never seen it in the royal secret book.
And Queen Jingjue never mentioned it to him.
It's hard to say whether it's because Queen Jingjue doesn't know it herself, or there's something else she's hiding behind.
Lao Yantou nodded and said cautiously: "There was a legend about the Qiankun Formation before, but no one could prove its existence."
"Her Royal Highness the Queen doesn't know about such an important thing, and neither do I, the high priest. Isn't this a bit ridiculous?"
Linshan Road.
"Master Priest, the reason why this formation map only exists in legends is because His Highness made these confidants who hid the map swear a poisonous oath. Anyone who dares to reveal even a single word will suffer a terrible curse on the entire clan.
So to this day, we dare not reveal even a word."
"Then why are you talking to me today?
Aren’t you afraid that your people will be cursed?”
The more Lin Shan listened, the more suspicious he became.
Mo Yuntian sighed and said: "Master Priest, now that the Qiankun Formation has been stolen, it is related to the life and death of my Ghost Cave Dynasty, how dare I continue to hide it?
And I believe that the priest has the ability to protect the safety of my people! Priest, I don’t have much time, you must get the formation map back as soon as possible, otherwise our Guidong dynasty will perish!"
At the end, Mo Yuntian's shadow disappeared, and the previously dark hall suddenly became much brighter.
But for some reason, the doubts in his mind were still not gone.
That bad feeling is still there.
"Master, I'll go in and take a look first."
Lao Yantou volunteered at this time.
Lin Shan nodded and said, "You must be careful.
If there is any danger, evacuate immediately."
"yes."
Lao Yantou nodded, and then walked into the hall with a serious look.
Lin Shan watched him walk in and walked all the way to the throne. Nothing unexpected happened.
Lao Yantou looked under the throne and immediately shouted: "Master, the body of Lord Mo is indeed here."
Lin Shan pondered for a moment and said, "Bring his body out and I won't go in."
Lin Shan, who was cautious, did not enter the hall after all.
Lao Yantou picked up Mo Yuntian's body and was about to walk out. At this moment, there was a sudden roar in the hall, and even Lin Shan was dizzy by the sound.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful force spurted out from inside, and then swept towards Lin Shan and others.
"No! Back off!"
Lin Shan was alert in time, quickly picked up everyone, and quickly retreated back.
A thunderbolt struck the hall, and then the entire hall was instantly destroyed into ashes.
Lao Yantou and Mo Yuntian disappeared without a trace...
