Zhong Li's beautiful eyes dimmed, Luo Chen stepped forward to support her body, and returned to the room under the worried eyes of Manager Wei.
"Sister Zhong Li, it's okay. Don't worry. Maybe sister Xian'er is on her way back now."
Luo Chen comforted her like this, and pressed her down on the bed to rest, not letting her move around. The three of them sat together all night last night, and no one fell asleep. They were always highly focused. Even Luo Chen was a little tired when he relaxed at this time.
After seeing Zhong Li sleeping, Luo Chen tiptoed out of the room and gently closed the door.
Outside the door, Manager Wei looked solemn. After seeing Luo Chen come out, he said in a deep voice: "But what happened?"
Luo Chen smiled bitterly and nodded. He didn't know how to talk about it, so he told the story in general.
Manager Wei was suspicious and looked at Luo Chen and said: "Master Luo, you must have drunk too much and are talking nonsense here? Not long ago, the old man of the Bai family came back to the mansion smelling of alcohol. With you acting like this
By the way, I encountered a ghost?"
Manager Wei shook his head and laughed, obviously thinking that Luo Chen was joking with him.
Luo Chen stiffened and suddenly raised his head, startling Manager Wei: "When did this happen?"
"Half an hour ago."
Manager Wei looked at him in confusion.
"This is impossible!"
Luo Chen shook his head. There were corpses in the main hall last night. Every one of them had been personally inspected by his hands, especially that of Mr. Bai. He had observed it for a long time and found that it was indeed dead.
Luo Chen's face was heavy. Seeing that it didn't seem false, Manager Wei nodded and left the Zhong Mansion. When he came back, it was already dark.
In the room, Zhong Li huddled up with the quilt, and Luo Chen accompanied him, leaning aside to take a nap until Manager Wei came to knock on the door.
Luo Chen walked out of the room and saw the solemn look on Manager Wei's face. He couldn't help asking, "Did Manager Wei go to the City Lord's Mansion?"
"The City Lord's Mansion is heavily guarded and I can't get in."
Manager Wei shook his head, but this sentence made Luo Chen change his face.
Tightly guarded? Are you kidding? Nowadays, the city lord's palace is not only piled up with bones, but at least dead bodies are everywhere. How can it be so tightly guarded?
"Manager Wei, are you sure you're not kidding me?"
"Mr. Luo, how is the second lady doing?"
"I was just a little frightened."
When Luo Chen spoke, Manager Wei nodded and left without saying anything else.
Luo Chen was deep in thought. Zhong Li saw him coming in and asked about the situation outside. Luo Chen shook his head. Licheng was still as usual, with nothing unusual. Such a big thing happened in the city lord's palace. It stands to reason that Licheng should have been in chaos for a long time.
That's right, but the whole city was strangely quiet.
Earlier, Manager Wei said that the city lord's palace was heavily guarded and he could not enter. Was this a joke?
Luo Chen sat next to Zhong Li, and the two of them stayed up all night cuddling together.
Early the next morning, a group of black-armored troops were stationed outside the city lord's palace. Today was an important day in Licheng. The three-year Royal City Competition was about to kick off, and the hundred final battle quotas for the palace banquet were finally determined.
Announced today.
All the heads of the aristocratic families in Licheng arrived. Right in front of the crowd were the heads of the five major aristocratic families. At this time, the five people were laughing from ear to ear. Next to the Zuo family head, Zuo Linglong looked a little dull, as if he had lost his soul.
Behind the crowd, Luo Chen appeared in the crowd wearing a bamboo hat. He saw Wei Hao, Mo Cheng, Zheng Tao, Zuo Linglong, and the old man Bai who was supposed to be dead!
That night, almost everyone who attended the government banquet, except Zhong Xianer and Liu Sheng, gathered!
Luo Chen was shocked to see his own name on the top ten list!
At this time, even he was a little confused. What was going on? Could it be that he was really drunk that night and was dazzled? It was impossible for the group of people in front of him to stand in front of him alive.
There are fake ones.
At this moment, Luo Chen's pupils suddenly shrank. Under the black hat, Luo Chen saw a familiar figure, Yagyu! However, when he squeezed through the crowd, he did not find any figure.
Outside the Wangcheng Mansion, the young master of the palace, Li Tian, was dressed in black armor and looked majestic! And the person responsible for the order in the surroundings was none other than Li Ruotong!
Luo Chen frowned. After everyone around him dispersed, he followed Li Ruotong from a distance. At this time, he did not step forward rashly. Things were so weird today that he had to be more careful.
Many people who were supposed to be dead appeared in front of him alive again, which made him feel inexplicably horrified.
He lowered his black hat. Li Ruotong, who was walking in front, frowned slightly and quickened his pace.
"Discovered!"
Luo Chen was startled and didn't know what was going on, so he chased after him. However, when he turned a narrow street, a sharp sword was suddenly clamped around his neck.
"What's the purpose of being sneaky?"
Under the black bamboo hat, Luo Chen's body was stiff, he raised his hands, and was about to speak. Suddenly, a sword energy came towards him, and the bamboo hat on his head was split into two. Luo Chen felt a chill in his heart, and was so frightened that he was beaten all over.
Shivering.
"Sister Ruotong?"
Luo Chen spoke subconsciously, and Li Ruotong frowned, still with a cold face, and pointed the long sword at Luo Chen's eyebrows. The sharp sword thrust stung Luo Chen's skin, and a drop of blood flowed from his eyebrows.
At this time, Li Ruotong's whole body was very cold, and there was even a fierce murderous intent in his body!
Blood slid down Luo Chen's eyebrows. Li Ruotong frowned and grabbed Luo Chen's neck. After finding a pulse, he reached out and pinched Luo Chen's face suspiciously. After finding that it was soft, he pinched Luo Chen's face.
Hold him in his arms.
At this time, Luo Chen was confused as to what the situation was.
"Sister Ruotong, I'm almost out of breath from kicking you."
Luo Chen was so embarrassed that he buried his head in Li Ruotong's arms, which were soft and comfortable. But they were boring!
"You brat, you scared me to death."
"Sister Ruotong, what on earth is going on?"
Luo Chen was confused, and Li Ruotong looked around. After making sure it was safe, he took Luo Chen back to the inn. After closing the door, he looked at Luo Chen and said seriously: "I'm afraid Li City is going to attack."
There's a big mess."
Luo Chen's heart skipped a beat, and his expression became serious almost subconsciously.
"Sister Ruotong, what's going on in the city lord's mansion now? How many people are still alive?"
Luo Chen probed, and as soon as these words came out, Li Ruotong's face completely darkened.
"How do you know...why do you ask?"
Li Ruotong lost his composure, and Luo Chen said thoughtfully, "Although I don't know what happened, I can be sure that all those people before are dead!"
Luo Chen stared at Li Ruotong, and after a long while, he said: "Sister Ruotong, are you also lying?"
"What do you think?"
"Ouch, it hurts, it really does, it absolutely does."
After rubbing his sore ears, Luo Chen was still suspicious, and suddenly he said: "Sister Ruotong, tell me what is the relationship between us."
Li Ruotong was stunned for a moment and looked at Luo Chen in confusion. However, the next moment, she thought of something. The original coldness disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by crimson but slightly sullen gnashing teeth.
"What do you think?"
"Um, ahem...I am now certain that Sister Ruotong is real."
Luo Chen rolled his eyes, held back a tear, and threw himself directly into Li Ruotong's arms. He cried with snot and tears: "That's great, Sister Ruotong is really you. I thought I would never see you again."
I can’t see you anymore.”
Luo Chen acted like a baby, and Li Ruotong felt soft, so she had to hug Luo Chen to comfort her. In fact, she was relieved to see Luo Chen again. She returned to the City Lord's Mansion yesterday, although the City Lord's Mansion now looks the same as before.
Normally the same, but lifeless.
Not only that, but what frightened her even more was that in an accident, she accidentally knocked down a black-armored guard and found that it turned out to be a dead thing!
I have to say that this woman was extremely bold, and I don’t know what she was thinking. She actually dragged the black-armored guard to Wangyue Pavilion in the outer palace, knocked him unconscious twice, and stripped him naked from top to bottom.
Although it sounded sexy, the final result made her scalp numb. There were no less than dozens of fatal wounds in the iron armor!
After digging it open, a first-order soul crystal was dug out!
Not only that, besides the soul crystal, there were also many black threads cut out!
This discovery made her suspicious, and after that, she secretly observed again, and finally discovered that except for a few rebels in the inner government, almost all the others were mindless puppets!
Not only that, she also discovered a huge hole somewhere in the inner palace. After digging it, it turned out that it was full of corpses! The most bloody and disgusting thing was that all the faces of these corpses had been uncovered.
!
In the room, Luo Chen felt goosebumps all over his body.
"So, now everything in the city lord's palace, including the previous young palace lord, is fake?"
Luo Chen was surprised.
"That's true."
However, to Luo Chen's surprise, Li Ruotong shook his head.
"What's the meaning?"
"I don't know, this is also the strangest thing about me. I have observed it secretly, but the state of the young palace master seems a bit weird, which is very worrying. Maybe he is being controlled by something, but it doesn't look like it, but I am definitely
This matter will be investigated! I will check again tonight, hoping to find some clues."
Li Ruotong gritted his teeth and said firmly.
Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, raised his head from Li Ruotong's arms, and said suspiciously: "Sister Ruotong, do you like Li Tian? You are my eldest wife."
"Bah! What nonsense are you talking about? The young palace master has been kind to me, I..."
"Tch, what you say is not what you mean. Sister Ruotong, this is your fault. There is nothing wrong with liking someone, so why bother to hide it? Who has no use when they are young, but from now on, Sister Ruotong can no longer be so carefree.
otherwise……"
"Otherwise, what are you going to do? You brat! I haven't seen you for a day, and I see that you are timid again. Okay, you are very dirty. Get up quickly, and I will change my clothes."
Previously, Luo Chen had snot and tears all over her body. With her mysophobia, if it had been anyone else, she would have drawn her sword long ago. (To be continued)
