When night fell, Li Tianlan's figure finally approached the white snow that had been sitting high in the north of Zhongzhou for many years.
Taibai Mountain in the night was so beautiful that it was almost holy. It was completely solemn and solemn. Li Tianlan stood at the bottom of the mountain and looked up at the top of the mountain. He looked at it for a long time before slowly going up.
He has been the Young City Lord of the City of Sighs for several years, but apart from the time when he traveled thousands of miles away, this is the first time he has officially set foot in the City of Sighs, a city of assassins that shocks the entire dark world.
White snow, night, mountains and forests.
In the cold and almost indifferent atmosphere, from every corner and in every direction, eyes after eyes focused on Li Tianlan from time to time, and then quickly moved away.
These are all secret sentinels of the City of Sighs.
During the many years of silence of the Li family, City of Sighs has always had an indifferent attitude within Zhongzhou, so there are not many core members in City of Sighs. Even if peripheral members are included, the total number of people in City of Sighs is less than that of City of Sighs.
The city's prestige is also very small.
However, these small number of secret sentries are extremely cleverly distributed around Taibai Mountain, and they clearly control the movements of the entire Taibai Mountain. Where the sights of countless secret sentries meet, there are almost no blind spots on Taibai Mountain.
Li Tianlan's expression remained calm, as if he didn't feel the sights hidden in the dark, and he just walked up slowly.
The news of his arrival in the City of Sighs seems to have spread already.
But Taibai Mountain remained silent.
There was no greeting, no cheering, and it was unusually quiet.
There is a huge boulder nearly twenty meters standing on the mountainside path, which looks like a giant in the night.
The four characters "Military Restricted Area" still reflect clear light even in the night. In comparison, the three characters "City of Sighs" above the four characters "Military Restricted Area" are much more low-key. Those three scarlet fonts are said to be "Zhongzhou Hidden".
The god Situ Tu Cangyue wrote it with his own hands, with dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, cold and sharp.
The silence on the top of the mountain remains.
Li Tianlan stood in front of the boulder and looked up at the stone monument in front of him. He was silent for a long time before continuing to climb the mountain.
After passing the stone monument, the snow on the mountain gradually thickened, and the snow covered the mountains and fields, making it dazzlingly white.
Li Tianlan's eyes became calmer.
All the battles in the Beihai Province seemed to have settled in his heart the moment he left Beihai.
Walking alone on the mountain road, all he could think about was everything in Sigh City.
He thought about the support Sigh City had given him since joining the WTO.
Thinking of the calamity that has left me so seriously injured and completely destroyed.
Thinking of Du Ying who sacrificed for himself on the East Island.
I thought of You Meng.
I thought of Qingfeng Liuyun.
City of Sighs.
Tiandu Purgatory—Tianluo Hall.
Different names.
Same responsibilities, same position, same people.
Sighing City is the most mysterious Tianluo Palace in Tiandu Purgatory, and it has always been.
Li Tianlan took a deep breath.
His figure was like a shadow drifting uncertainly in the white snow of the mountains, flickering and almost invisible, but its speed was extremely fast.
On this day, Li Tianlan was only a few days away from waking up from Youzhou.
But during the battle with Di Jiang, the twin wind and thunder veins were completely revived and became stronger than before. Li Tianlan also seemed more calm and calm.
His footsteps stepped on the snow and reached the top of the mountain.
In the silent world, he finally saw the first figure since going up the mountain.
Li Tianlan didn't know if this was considered a welcome.
Youmeng stood in front of him and was less than fifty
Mi's enemy, under the night, her eyes were shining, and her eyes were full of fanaticism.
"Young City Lord."
In the silence, Youmeng laughed, with undisguised joy in her tone: "Welcome back."
It's back.
Instead of welcoming him to Imperial Soldier Mountain.
Li Tianlan's eyes warmed for a moment.
He nodded and asked directly: "Where is the city lord?"
"His Royal Highness is accompanying the Deputy City Lord."
Youmeng said truthfully: "She already knew you were going up the mountain and asked me to wait here and take you there."
Li Tianlan didn't say much, he simply said to lead the way.
Youmeng turned around and led Li Tianlan forward.
Her figure was half a step behind Li Tianlan, but she quietly guided the direction for Li Tianlan.
"How many people are there in the City of Sighs?"
Li Tianlan walked quietly and suddenly asked.
Youmeng was stunned for a moment, then said softly: "Including those in the periphery, together, there are about two thousand people in Sigh City, but according to records, there are less than four hundred people."
"All killers?"
Li Tianlan asked, if this is really the case, Sigh City is definitely a very terrifying force. What does it mean to have four hundred well-trained professional killers?
Perhaps in a large-scale and brutal war, the same number of killers is far inferior to the same number of soldiers, but in the darkness, four hundred professional killers are a nightmare for any force.
On the scale of life and death, killers always have infinite possible identities. Unlike martial arts, they don't even care about realm or combat power. For real assassins, force is just a means of killing, nothing more.
And if you want to kill someone, you don't have to rely on force.
If there really were four hundred professional killers...
Li Tianlan's scalp goes numb whenever he thinks about that kind of scene.
If he stood on the opposite side of the City of Sighs, not to mention the current East Palace, even if the East Palace really surpassed the Beihai Wang family in the future, he would suffer heavy losses in the face of the unscrupulous assassinations of hundreds of professional killers.
He may not be afraid of this.
But he didn't know how many talents his Eastern Palace would lose.
Li Tianlan was stunned. Thinking of that scene, it really had a kind of trance-like power.
"no."
Youmeng interrupted Li Tianlan's fantasy: "The real killers, that is, those who have reached our graduation level, there are only about forty people in Sigh City, and among them there are Shi Shi who have not completed enough tasks. And some of the others are in
There are also some other talents who have been trained here. No matter how uncontested the City of Sighs is, it is still a force. If you want to maintain its operation, you cannot rely solely on a group of killers."
This gap is really quite big.
Li Tianlan, who was thinking about the destructive power of four hundred professional killers just a moment ago, felt helpless when he heard Youmeng's number. He looked around and suddenly asked: "How many people are left here now?"
"rare."
Youmeng shook his head: "But the city lord has already issued a summons order. Most of the people will return to Taibai Mountain before noon tomorrow, and the young city lord can see you tomorrow."
Li Tianlan was silent for a moment, nodded, and repeated: "Tomorrow... um... tomorrow."
Youmeng gave him a strange look and said nothing. She led Li Tianlan to a small and crude palace and said softly: "Your Highness and the deputy city lord are inside. I won't go in. Deputy city lord
They never let us in."
Li Tianlan hummed, walked up and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
Situ Cang Yue You Ran
The sound rang out from inside the palace.
Youmeng's figure stood outside the palace, motionless, but his eyes were staring at the inside of the palace, a little curious, obviously wanting to know what was going on inside.
Li Tianlan thought for a moment, opened the door and walked in.
The palace is very small.
The interior decoration is even more crude and a bit outrageous.
The small palace only has two floors.
But the second floor was completely sealed off. There was a bed in the place that was originally used as the living room, but other than that, there was nothing else.
The hall was empty.
Only the hard bed was there, and Li Tianlan didn't even see any sofas, tables or chairs in the hall.
There weren't even lights in the hall.
At night, in the darkness, this palace was as silent as a deserted place.
Li Tianlan stood in the darkness, completely speechless for a moment.
Empty palace, tiny bed.
The combination of all this actually gave him an indescribable shock.
This is where Zed lived in the City of Sighs.
He is the deputy city lord of Sigh City.
All year round, for many years, he spent most of his time in this palace.
One year, five years, even ten years.
No one in Sigh City has ever entered this palace except Situ Cangyue, and no one knows what this palace looks like.
This is like a world of his own that Jie carefully guards.
Empty, cold, dark.
Li Tianlan did not feel lonely in it, but he clearly felt a kind of silence as if his heart was ashes.
In silence, Li Tianlan took two steps forward.
In front of the hard bed, Situ Cangyue, dressed in white, stood there, motionless.
Zed was lying on the bed, breathing weakly and motionless.
Li Tianlan hesitated for a moment, then broke the silence in front of him and said softly: "How is uncle's injury?"
"It's not getting better, it's not getting worse."
Situ Cangyue sighed softly: "I really don't know when I will wake up."
Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes and seemed to hesitate again.
"what you want to say?"
Situ Cangyue turned to look at him.
The lights in the palace were too dim, and Li Tianlan couldn't see Situ Cangyue's expression.
"I'm thinking about taking my uncle to Tiannan. On the Wang family's side in Beihai, the Nalan family will send someone to treat him. If my uncle is there, the possibility of recovery will be greater."
Li Tianlan told the truth.
"A family of medical kings?"
Situ Cangyue raised her eyebrows.
Li Tianlan nodded and said nothing.
"Can."
Situ Cangyue pondered for a while and nodded: "I will make arrangements and send him to Tiannan in the next few days."
"good."
Li Tianlan nodded.
"What do you think of the City of Sighs?"
Situ Cangyue glanced at her brother lying on the bed again, sighed tiredly, and asked casually.
Li Tianlan walked to the bed in silence, looked at the silent white snow outside the window, and did not speak for a long time.
Situ Cangyue walked over and looked at Li Tianlan's expression.
Against the background of the white snow, his expression looked a little gloomy, but extremely calm.
It was an indescribable depth.
Situ Cangyue's eyes were dazed for a moment and asked: "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about a question."
Li Tianlan said: "I am the young city lord of Sighing City, but is the current Sighing City still my Sighing City?"
