This small turmoil in the restaurant ended with the departure of the girl. Walking outside, such unreasonable disasters would inevitably happen in the future. Luo Chen felt secretly vigilant in his heart, and he secretly kept an eye on it from now on.
After the meal, the restaurant owner was like sending off the plague. He didn't even ask for gold coins, and just asked the three of them to leave quickly. Although he was smiling, his smile was too stiff, making people dumbfounded.
Because I was in a hurry to get on my way, I didn't wait long. There were still several days to go from Licheng, so I couldn't delay any longer. I prepared enough dry food and drinking water for the road. The carriage kept stopping. After a few days, I saw from a distance.
Go, a majestic city has appeared in front of you.
The steel-like city stands tall and towering. The rows of black-armored guards stationed in front of the city gate give people a great sense of oppression. Licheng is different from ordinary cities. As one of the ten royal cities of the Tiandou Empire, the security in the city is extremely good.
Strict and strict, even if it is a small fight, once it is reported, you will definitely be miserable!
Of course, this is only for ordinary families with no background and outsiders. In front of those powerful first-class families, the so-called rules of the royal city are nothing more than a joke.
"Second Miss, Licheng has arrived."
Outside the carriage, Manager Wei's respectful voice sounded. The carriage gradually stopped and an inspection was conducted outside the city gate. According to the regulations of the royal city, carriages coming and going must be strictly inspected before they can enter.
"Don't delay any more and go directly to the city!"
A black token was thrown out of the carriage. Seeing this, the face of the leading black armored guard suddenly changed. He glanced at the carriage in surprise, then respectfully handed the black token in his hand to Manager Wei and moved out of the way.
After the carriage entered the city, it went straight to the Zhong Mansion. However, outside the gate of the Zhong Mansion, there were crowds of people, the door was closed tightly, and there were faint shouts of curses.
If it weren't for the city guards protecting it, the front door of the Zhong family would have been smashed, the stone lions on both sides of the mansion were torn apart, and the ground was even more dirty, with rotten leaves and vegetables all over the floor.
"What's going on?"
Zhong Li, who got off the carriage, frowned and his face was covered with frost. Although the Zhong family was not as good as before, they could not tolerate being so presumptuous!
"Manager Wei, go find out what happened."
"yes."
Manager Wei also frowned, and after asking around, he learned that the pills sold by the Zhong Family Alchemy Shop had killed people recently, and the person who died was a first- and second-class nobleman.
No, not only has the Alchemy Store been temporarily closed down, but people from the Zhong Mansion have been coming to make trouble for several days.
After hearing the news, Zhong Li's chest was heaving with anger. There were more than one alchemy shops in the Zhong family, and now they have all been sealed off. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Zhong family!
The Zhong Family Alchemy Shop has been operating in Licheng for so many years, and nothing like this has ever happened before. Someone must have framed it!
In addition to the fact that the furs were robbed, there is still a large amount of liquidated damages to be paid. Now that the alchemy shop has been sealed, the Zhong family's main source of income has also been cut off.
Recently, the Zhong Mansion has been in a bleak state. The gates of the mansion are closed tightly. Some of the housekeepers and maids saw that something was not going well and secretly left the Zhong Mansion with valuable items.
The huge Bell Mansion has become a little deserted. Sitting at the front of the hall is a gorgeously dressed woman. The woman is extremely beautiful. She is not only the most beautiful woman in the country, but she is also a rare beauty.
The woman was about 20 years old, and her face was filled with inexorable fatigue. Recently, the Zhong Mansion has been really not quiet, with enemies outside and worries inside. Her father left early back then, leaving such a mess. Now things have happened one after another, and within the family,
Liquidity of funds is almost gone.
Now we can only hope that the little sister will return smoothly to solve the coal-burning crisis of Zhong Mansion.
"Eldest lady, the second young lady is back."
A servant came to report. After hearing this, the woman in the front seat finally showed a smile. At this moment, Zhong Li from outside the hall almost jogged in and threw himself into the woman's arms, his eyes red from crying.
Luo Chen followed behind Manager Wei, looking a little sad. The Zhong Mansion was very big, even bigger than the Luo Mansion, but he didn't see many maids and servants along the way.
The furs are gone, which makes the already overwhelmed Zhong family even more passive!
Although the Zhong family has many branches outside the country, these shops are all in the hands of the old people of the Zhong family, and they obviously have no hope.
These old guys all have their own evil intentions, so thank God if they don't even say they are helping them, and they don't do anything secretly.
"Baiyun Village? How brave you are!"
The woman was furious, but after her anger, she comforted Zhong Li without any intention of blaming her. But just like that, it made her feel even more uncomfortable.
"Manager Wei, are you back too?"
"I'm a little worried. Come back and have a look."
Manager Wei has a very special status in the Zhong Mansion. Although he is not a member of the Zhong family, he has a very high status.
"Who is this child?"
There was a trace of surprise on Zhong Xian'er's face. Luo Chen's appearance was too outstanding. If he wasn't so young, he would definitely be a pretty boy.
"Sister, he is..."
"Haha... This kid is not bad, but he is a bit young."
There was a smile on Zhong Xian'er's face. Zhong Lisha's pretty face was as red as a cloud, and she said angrily: "Sister, what are you talking about? It's not what you think."
Luo Chen looked at the two sisters curiously. It could be seen that the relationship between the two was really good.
"Xiao Chenzi, what are you doing standing there? You haven't come over yet."
Seeing that Luo Chen was still dumbfounded, he shouted at him angrily.
"Ah? Oh, hello, Sister Fairy."
With a hint of shyness on his face, Zhong Li stroked his forehead and said angrily: "Behave yourself, or I'll flatten you!"
"Li'er, don't be rude."
"Sister, don't be deceived by this little guy's appearance. When he was in Baiyun Valley, this guy killed twenty-six bandits in one go, including many two-star soul fighting masters."
"Huh?"
Zhong Xian'er sighed and glanced at Luo Chen in surprise. At this time, even Manager Wei on the side suddenly widened his eyes. Apparently he was also shocked by Zhong Li's words.
Killed twenty-six thieves in one breath? After living in Baiyun City for so many years, he naturally knows about Baiyun Valley. Those are all villains who live a life of licking knives. Although they can't catch his eyes, Luo Chen is just
How old is he? He also observed this kid along the way, but he didn't realize that he was still a ruthless character.
Luo Chen scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled shyly: "It's just a fluke."
"I didn't praise you!"
This guy is really thick-skinned.
Zhong Xian'er looked at Luo Chen curiously, then glanced at her sister, and sighed softly in her heart. She had some talent, but it's a pity...
Manager Wei took Luo Chen to wander around the Zhong Mansion, and at this time, only the two sisters Zhong Li were left in the hall.
"Li'er, what should the Mo family do?"
The original smile on his face froze for an instant, and Zhong Li was silent. After a long time, he shook his head.
"But this engagement must have been made by grandpa back then. I have met Mo Cheng. He is not bad, and the Mo family has an extraordinary status in Licheng. Although my Zhong family has declined, they don't seem to regret the marriage. You
You should think about it carefully, and I can tell that Mo Cheng likes you. If the Mo family hadn't come to help this time, the aristocratic families outside might not know how long the trouble would have been."
Zhong Xian'er sighed lightly. In the past, Licheng had three pillars. After the decline of the Zhong family, the situation changed drastically. Now, in Licheng, in addition to the city lord's palace, there are five major families standing side by side! And today, the Moh family ranks third among the five major families in Licheng.
three!
Speaking of Mo Cheng, Zhong Li looked a little uncomfortable. In fact, she didn't hate Mo Cheng, and Mo Cheng couldn't be annoying. Speaking of which, the two of them were childhood sweethearts and played together.
Woolen cloth.
But as they grew older and were often away from home over the years, the relationship between the two became somewhat weak.
"Sister, can you please stop mentioning that big guy in front of me in the future?"
Zhong Li puffed up his cheeks, coquettishly, and shook Zhong Xian'er's arm.
"Li'er, you're not young anymore. You're almost sixteen now, so you should..."
"I don't want it. My sister isn't married either."
"You, but Mo Cheng, you should think about it again. Although he is a bit of a martial arts fanatic, he still has nothing to say to you. No, he knows that you are coming back recently, so he will come over every now and then.
"Eldest Miss, Second Miss, Mr. Mo Cheng is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came to report. A smile appeared on Zhong Xianer's face, but Zhong Li's face suddenly fell.
The Bell Mansion is very large, with rockeries, flowing water, and numerous pavilions.
Manager Wei was old, so naturally he would not run around like Luo Chen. He ordered the guards of Zhong Mansion, and then allowed Luo Chen to wander around in Zhong Mansion.
There is a spacious open space on the rockery in the backyard of the Zhong Mansion. At this time, a young boy with a silly smile on his face didn't know what he was thinking, and kept smiling stupidly.
Luo Chen, who was passing by here, leaned against a corner of the rocks in the rockery as if he was looking at a fool, rubbing his chin with his palm, wondering if this guy's brain had been kicked by a donkey, right?
The young man was not that big, he was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and he had explosive muscles. Luo Chen was a bit speechless when he saw him.
Behind the young man, there were two guards with serious faces, like two door gods, standing on either side of the young man, one on the left and one on the right, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
"Young Master Mo, the second lady has been exhausted after riding the carriage all the way and has fallen asleep. How about you come to visit me another day?"
At this time, a pretty little maid came forward to bow respectfully and said timidly.
"It's okay, I'll wait for her here, don't disturb her, let her have a good rest."
The young man smiled and scratched his head. After hearing this, the little maid breathed a sigh of relief and bowed respectfully before retreating. (To be continued)
