Pei Qianying had a sweet smile on her face. She changed her clothes and went out.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Gui Ji was sitting on Li Tianlong's dragon chair, listening to the reports from the people below. Her expression was flickering, and her face was sometimes gloomy, sometimes sneer, changing continuously, and it was terrifyingly gloomy.
"A bunch of useless trash!"
The news that Pei Qianying hid Luo Chen's return to the Zhong family, Gui Ji knew about it the day after Pei Qianying returned to the Pei family.
Obviously, this news naturally came from within the Pei family. Someone is deliberately spreading the news and maliciously provoking it. You don't need to guess to know that this matter must be related to Pei Jun. If he wants to rise to power, he must first bring him down.
Only Pei Qianying can do it.
The Pei family is known as the most well-informed family in Licheng. This is not just talk. In terms of gathering intelligence, even the city lord's palace can't match it.
Although the City Lord's Mansion is huge and very powerful in Licheng, Licheng is so big that the strength of the City Lord's Mansion alone is not enough to completely control the entire city.
There are many aristocratic families in Licheng. Instead of killing them all and refining them into corpse puppets, it would be better to make better use of the waste.
In fact, what even Pei Qianying herself didn't know was that the Pei family had been targeted by the City Lord's Mansion a long time ago, so even if she had not chosen to seek refuge in the City Lord's Mansion, she would have been personally approached.
"Since there is nothing left in the Pei family, it would be a waste to keep it any longer. Let's destroy it. It just so happens that there are still a few corpses left in the cold storage. When the time comes, you can go pick them out together and see if you can find a few suitable for human bodies.
Here comes the specimen’s corpse.”
…
It is said that Pei Qianying left her new residence and went straight to Zhong Mansion. However, this time she did not successfully enter the gate of Zhong Mansion, but was blocked outside the door. This was what Luo Chen meant.
Today's Zhong Mansion is no longer as deserted as it was a few days ago. In order to develop his own power, Luo Chen has been borrowing power from Wanfo Mountain these days.
After learning about the situation on Luo Chen's side, before the Shuwu Academy started to mobilize people, Liu Sheng had already dispatched a group of Dragon Guard troops and rushed to Licheng. In order not to attract the attention of the city lord's palace,
They all came in plain clothes.
By the way, I asked Longying to bring the dragon talisman, because the Dragon Guard only listens to those who hold the dragon talisman.
Not to mention, Yagyu is really very generous this time. A thousand dragon guards were transferred as soon as he was asked. What a buddy.
Of course, Luo Chen didn't know that the reason why Liu Sheng was so generous and cheerful was not because of his face, but because Zhong Xian'er was worried about Zhong Li's safety, so he put pressure on Liu Sheng. Liu Sheng had no choice but to send someone
Coming.
Since they were not sure what the situation was in Licheng, just in case, a thousand dragon guards were mobilized here. This was also the premise that Yagyu Sheng did not know about the cultivation of the mute girl and Butler Wei.
Below, otherwise, the couch would never send anyone here.
At the beginning, Luo Chen was quite surprised.
The Dragon Guard Army is the ace personal army of the Liu clan. It is an ace warrior army that is not inferior to the Divine Army in terms of individual combat effectiveness and teamwork!
It is no exaggeration to say that if the seven thousand black-armored troops of the City Lord's Mansion were to confront the thousand-man Dragon Guard Army, they would be defeated in seconds.
This is not an exaggeration. You must know that if you want to become a Dragon Guard, the minimum standard of cultivation is to reach the five-star soul fighting master level! And you must be a soul fighting master who has been on the battlefield and bathed in blood. This is the only way.
, just now qualified to become a member of the Dragon Guard Army.
The difficulty of the assessment is even higher than that of participating in the Divine Army assessment! It is simply not comparable to that of the bullshit Black Armored Army.
Pei Qianying was blocked outside the door. She was not annoyed or anxious. After explaining her purpose to the guard, she waited patiently outside.
This visit had a real impact on her. She had been to the Zhong Mansion more than once, but she had never experienced such a frightening feeling.
With curiosity, she raised her eyes and casually glanced at the two Dragon Guards guarding the door. Suddenly, she felt two evil spirits rushing toward her, and she took a small step back in shock.
This not only surprised her again, it was such a terrifying killing spirit! Where did he recruit these guards?
In terms of his cultivation, Pei Qianying is naturally superior. However, in terms of his killing power, ten Pei Qianying combined may not be as good as one Dragon Guard.
Naturally, this does not mean that Pei Qianying is weak, but just in terms of momentum.
"No." Luo Chen, who was practicing, didn't even raise his eyes. He seemed to have guessed that Pei Qianying would come, and went back to his room to practice early.
The seventh statue tested true perversion, and it could even be said to have reached a heinous level. Luo Chen faced two mirror clones at once, and even though he tried his best, he was still beaten badly.
"Failed again."
Luo Chen withdrew from the black rock monument in frustration. It wasn't until his mind returned to his body that the pain in his body gradually disappeared.
Luo Chen walked out of the room and went to the other courtyard. Mu Wan and Su Xin walked up to him and told him that Pei Qianying was still waiting outside the house to see him.
Luo Chen nodded to indicate that he knew it, but still had no intention of meeting her. Pei Qianying waited outside the house until dark, and when she saw that Luo Chen had no intention of meeting her, she left in frustration.
"Miss, you are back."
Looking at Pei Qianying's figure from a distance, Nian panicked and trotted forward to greet him.
"What happened?"
Nian Xin's eyelids were covered with crystal tears, and Pei Qianying's heart sank, and a good premonition suddenly arose.
She has watched Nian Xin grow up, and no one understands this girl's temperament better than she does. This is the first time she has seen Nian Xin lose her composure.
"The family was robbed."
The moon is sparse, it is approaching dusk, and the sky is gradually getting darker. However, the air is still mixed with the heat of the scorching heat, which makes people feel irritable.
After receiving the news, Pei Qianying and Nian Xin hurried back together. When they returned to the Pei family's old house, what they saw was only the broken door and the scene of a chaotic fight.
The blood-stained tiles and doors and windows broken due to external force all indicate that this place has just experienced a hard battle.
In the empty mansion, no one was seen inside or outside, not even a body was left. Pei Qianying stared blankly at everything in front of him, his head buzzing.
"Miss, the blood on the ground hasn't dried yet." Nian Xin's voice sounded from behind Pei Qianying. Pei Qianying turned around dully, squatted on the ground and dipped some blood with his fingers, then twisted them with two fingers. It was just as Nian Xin said.
That way, the blood stains were still bright red and sticky.
"It was done by people from the City Lord's Mansion." Pei Qianying's expression returned to a normal color, and she was surprisingly calm.
"Why did they do this?" There was a cry in Nianxin's voice. She had grown up in the Pei Mansion since she was a child. She had already regarded this place as her home. Now that the Pei family was wiped out, she naturally felt uncomfortable.
"Why? Oh, are there not many aristocratic families that have been wiped out by them?"
Pei Qianying is trying her best to endure it. Although she is extremely disgusted with some people in the family, this is her family after all! No matter how resentful she is in her heart, she has never thought of killing. At most, she is just unwilling.
.
But what she never expected was that the City Lord's Mansion would do such a great job. Was it because he had destroyed the power of the Pei family and made them feel that the Pei family had no value in using it, so that made them want to destroy the family?
?
Thinking of this, Pei Qianying suddenly felt cold, and a chill spread throughout his body.
"Miss. Be careful!"
Just when Pei Qianying was dazed, the crisis suddenly came. Pei Qianying noticed it and immediately came back to her senses. As she leaned back, an arrow coated with poison
It almost flew past Pei Qianying's belt.
"Who!" Pei Qian shouted sharply after dodging a sneak attack. He looked with a sharp gaze and saw a black shadow quickly running away from the courtyard.
"Humph! Want to leave?" Pei Qianying sneered, put aside his thoughts, and chased the black shadow in the direction of escape. But just as Pei Qianying chased him out of the house, a muffled scream came out.
It came from the mansion behind him.
Hearing this voice, Pei Qianying's expression changed completely, and she no longer cared about pursuing him. When she turned back and saw the source of the scream, her eyes were split open and her murderous intent was overwhelming.
On the cold stone floor tiles, Nian Xin lay in a pool of blood with a look of horror on his face, no longer making a sound.
Nian Xin's eyes are open, which makes people feel like they are staring into death.
All this happened so suddenly that even Pei Qianying did not react immediately.
Between Nian Xin's eyebrows, a short arrow as thick as a baby's thumb was inserted straight up, killing him with one blow!
Pei Qianying's mind was as blank as paper. She knelt on the ground and held her thoughts lying on the ground into her arms, crying silently.
She watched Nian Xin grow up. In her heart, Nian Xin was not just the little maid beside her, but her most beloved little sister and her closest relative in the world.
She didn't understand why this was happening. It shouldn't have happened. How could Nianxin die?
Not long ago, she was calling Miss in front of her. Why in the blink of an eye, she...
She couldn't accept this fact.
Boom! A terrifying torrent of soul power erupted from Pei Qianying's body. She stood up with Nian Xin's cold body in her arms. Under the blow of this soul power flow, her black hair fell down behind her back.
Let's dance wildly together.
Nian Xin died after being hit by a hidden weapon, and it took less than ten breaths before and after. In other words, the murderer who assassinated Nian Xin was still in this courtyard!
Thinking of this, the murderous intention in Pei Qianying's heart could no longer be controlled. She spread her eyes and scanned the redwood pillars one after another, finally locking on a rockery.
In that direction, there is a corner of the blind spot, and in the side shadow of the blind spot, there seems to be a corner of clothing exposed!
There is a person hidden there! He is the murderer who shot Nianxin!
