The large and spacious outer courtyard is empty except for tall buildings, so even if you want to ask for directions, you can't.
With his super memory, Luo Chen returned along the original route. However, what made him look solemn was that he was actually trapped.
He tried to shuttle through these courtyards over and over again, constantly memorizing the locations of these courtyards, but in the end he returned to the same place. Luo Chen was very unwilling to do so. He used the starry sky as his coordinates and stopped looking at the surrounding scenery, but he bumped into each other everywhere.
wall.
"Is it possible that we really have to be trapped here tonight?"
Luo Chen said to himself, he was very unwilling to do so, what about the quota for the competition? He must enter the Soul Fighting Pavilion.
Luo Chen sat on a stone platform in an empty courtyard. The architecture here was really strange, especially at night, as if it could confuse people's minds and suppress their hallucinations! So they kept spinning back and forth.
"Array!"
A possibility suddenly occurred to me. This city lord's palace is really dangerous, and it's just a foreign palace!
The weather was getting cooler, so he tightened his clothes, and Luo Chen smiled bitterly. This was really... there was something strange in his heart that he couldn't explain.
The sound faintly broke through the air. Under the moonlight, Luo Chen's pupils suddenly shrank. There were footsteps on the back of the stone platform.
Luo Chen's heart moved, there was someone! However, before he could be ecstatic, a pungent smell of blood rushed towards his face, and his voice was gloomy and hoarse, which was unpleasant to listen to.
"What a waste. After so many years, he still hasn't penetrated into the inner palace. What's his future in this outer palace?"
There were scolding sounds. Luo Chen's body tensed up and he didn't dare to take a breath. His footsteps were messy. Late at night, Luo Chen poked his head out and saw several figures jumping out from behind the rockery behind the stone platform. With the help of
In the moonlight, he was surprised to find that the number of these figures was no less than a hundred!
This is a bit surprising. Now that the inner palace is holding a banquet and the black armored guards in the outer courtyard are vacant, what is going on with these guys who suddenly appear?
Moreover, the pungent and bloody smell before was so strong that he had to be alert all of a sudden.
"Is everything solved?"
The sound started again, and then Luo Chen saw that corpses were being transported past his eyes and hidden behind the rockery.
Luo Chen was greatly shocked. Those corpses were dressed in heavy armor and reflected cold light. Who could they be if they weren't black-armored guards? Assassinations!
These figures moved extremely quickly, and after the corpses were covered with a special powder, they put on black armor and quickly moved away.
Luo Chen's heart moved, and he followed closely, entering the inner palace inexplicably. Driven by curiosity in his heart, he saw those "black armored guards" quickly gathered in and scattered throughout the inner palace! They disappeared.
Luo Chen's heart suddenly trembled, knowing that something was going to happen. You know, this is the inner palace. Once these killers start killing people, the consequences will be absolutely serious!
These killers must be fearless and daring, and their plans are definitely not small! Are they heading towards the Soul Fighting Pavilion?
However, just when he was thinking wildly, his back suddenly felt cold, and a cold light pierced the air, hitting Luo Chen's back less than an inch away, and a scolding sounded in his ears: "Who is sneaking around here?
Turn around."
Luo Chen did not dare to resist and cursed secretly, so he had no choice but to obey the master behind him, raised his hands high and turned around.
"This sister..."
Cuff them up!"
The woman was wearing armored clothes and had a cold face. As his words fell, Luo Chen had no time to explain, so he was directly pressed to the ground, rubbed hard, his hands were cuffed behind his back, and then he was lifted up like this.
"Commander Li, this kid is so sneaky. Should he be taken directly to the water prison and executed?"
At this time, an older young man wearing heavy armor came from a distance. The black-armored guards behind him stepped out in uniform steps. The evil spirit was so strong that Luo Chen's face changed with shock. He almost cursed on the spot and his face turned pale.
The well-dressed woman raised her head and glanced at Luo Chen, sheathed her sword, looked up and said coldly: "Commander Shang is not patrolling the main hall, why are you here?"
Commander Shang laughed. Then he took out a black token from his arms. The woman's expression changed slightly, and her face turned cold on the spot.
"The commander-in-chief has ordered that the manpower in the main hall is vacant. We will temporarily mobilize a black-armored guard to garrison the main hall. Commander Li, please."
"That's nonsense, Commander Shang, don't forget that this is..."
"Commander Shang, please come and escort this boy directly to the water prison and execute him immediately."
Commander Shang made a gesture of invitation, and then gave an order to a black-armored guard.
"Stop, I am the chosen one for the Royal City Competition, I just got lost here."
Luo Chen is in a hurry, are you kidding me? I will execute you immediately? Get out of here!
Being held in one hand at this time, I was already a little aggrieved, but when I heard this, my expression changed drastically.
"Um?"
The well-dressed woman who had turned around stopped and looked at Luo Chen as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. However, before he could speak, his mute point was sealed directly, and he lost his voice instantly.
Luo Chen's heart sank, and then he saw Commander Shang looking over with squinted eyes: "That's just nonsense. The main hall is one hall away from here. Are you lost? I think he is a spy."
At this time, Luo Chen's heart sank completely, spy? Fuck you, spy, your whole family is the spy!
Cursing in his heart, "Wait a minute, spy?" Luo Chen was startled and looked up. Under the moonlit night, he saw a sneer on the corner of Commander Shang's mouth. Beside him, several black-armored soldiers had strange lights flashing in their eyes. Luo Chen
I was startled, and suddenly thought of the disguised black-armored army not long ago, my scalp suddenly went cold. There is definitely something wrong with this Commander Shang!
"Execution directly is a bit excessive. I think it's better to hand it over to the Lord of the City for punishment."
The woman spoke and looked aside. At this time, a black guard stepped forward to ask for someone.
Commander Shang smiled and nodded, but did not stop him and allowed Luo Chen to be carried away.
"Commander Li is really full of love, please."
There was a strong chill on the woman's face, and she snorted coldly again, nodded towards the black-armored guard, and walked forward with it.
Staring at the woman's leaving Miaoman's back, Commander Shang's sneering eyes flashed with a greedy and strange light.
At this time, Luo Chen was extremely depressed. A dinner party was being held in the main hall. If he appeared in this way, wouldn't he be laughed at?
Are you kidding? He kept struggling. The black-armored guard who held him in his hand frowned and said nothing, letting Luo Chen do whatever he wanted.
"Remove his mute point. I have something to ask him."
The woman walking in front suddenly spoke, and the black-armored guard nodded and unblocked Luo Chen's mute point.
"Do you know what the crime is when you trespass into a powerful place in the inner palace?"
Because of Luo Chen's age, although the woman's tone was cold, it was not too direct.
The dumb point was released, and Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you beautiful sister for your life-saving grace."
Luo Chen showed a shy smile, the woman's face was slightly stunned, and the black-armored guard who was holding him suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, thinking to himself: "This kid has the guts to tease Commander Li."
Although this Lord Commander is born as a daughter, among all the commanders, he is not inferior to other commanders in terms of strength, influence, or military exploits. If he were not too young and born as a daughter, he would definitely be inferior to other commanders.
The best candidate to serve as commander-in-chief.
"Glib words are of no use to me."
Even though he said this, his tone was much softened. Women, who doesn't like to hear good words?
The black-armored guard was sweating on his forehead, but he was so gentle? This... this is completely inconsistent with what he remembered! Shouldn't he scold him, then directly cut the air with his sword and seal his throat? How can it be better...
Luo Chen scratched his head and then said: "Beautiful sister, can we discuss whether you can let me walk in by myself in a while?"
"Um?"
Li Ruotong was surprised and looked at Luo Chen curiously. Although this little guy was wearing civilian clothes, his temperament was definitely not that of a commoner. Maybe it was really a misunderstanding.
"Why?"
"This... I came here to attend a government banquet. I got lost and followed a group of disguised black-armored troops to come here inexplicably. It would be very shameless if someone carried me in directly."
Luo Chen spoke awkwardly, but as his words fell, the surrounding air suddenly solidified.
The gentleness on Li Ruotong's face disappeared, and his eyes were filled with coldness: "Black armored army in disguise? What's going on?"
"Uh? This..."
Luo Chen knew he was speechless and felt the coldness all over his body, so he briefly explained what had happened before.
"Oh, by the way, Commander Shang is not a good guy at first glance. The black-armored guards around him are also in disguise."
He didn't forget to take a shit out of the basin when he was done. Although he didn't know if Commander Shang was a spy, he just felt unhappy with him. Even if he wasn't, it would be nice to make him sick and execute him directly? This bastard! Why don't you take this as revenge?
He is no longer Luo Chen.
"The black-armored guards are the personal guards of the city lord's palace. Do you know the consequences of talking nonsense?"
This matter is of great importance. If this matter is true, the consequences will be absolutely disastrous! You must not take it lightly!
"Nonsense? I'm not talking nonsense. There are almost no more corpses to pile up behind the rockery in the backyard of the foreign mansion."
"Which courtyard?"
Li Ruotong looked solemn and couldn't help but become nervous when she saw that Luo Chen's words were not false.
The outer mansion is so big and the courtyards are complicated. If you search them one by one, it will not only be troublesome, but also easy to alert the snake.
"This...how do I remember this, but I do remember that there is a Moon-Wang Pavilion nearby."
"Wangyue Pavilion?"
Li Ruotong frowned, but the black-armored guard beside him suddenly remembered something, and his expression suddenly changed.
"You know?"
The black-armored guard nodded, looked around, and then whispered: "When enemies invaded the city lord's palace, Wangyue Pavilion was the first one to be slaughtered! It is said that Wangyue Pavilion was the largest pavilion in the outer palace back then.
, the popularity is not much worse than that of Zhengxuan Pavilion now, but after the massacre that year, Wangyue Pavilion became deserted.
It is said that at that time, there was a river of blood in Wangyue Pavilion, and the blood flowed through most of the courtyard.
Not only that, Lord Wangyue also buries the bones of those who died tragically back then, it is a death pavilion!"
The cool breeze blew in the middle of the night, and Luo Chen's face became a little unnatural. Death Pavilion? Not long ago, he had a beautiful sleep there. (To be continued)
