In the past few days, Li Ruotong has been staying at the inn. Now the city lord's mansion is smoky and lifeless, giving people a sense of depression.
Nowadays, she, the commander of the Black Armor Army, can be said to have a lot of free time. Even if she enters the main palace of the city, it is difficult to enter the inner palace. As for the outer palace, facing a group of dead bodies all day long, she might as well stay in an inn.
Li Ruotong changed into light and light clothes, and her long hair was spread over her shoulders. She had a beautiful face and was very eye-catching.
"Sister Ruotong, why don't you come back to Zhong Mansion with me?"
Although this inn is good, the conditions are still too difficult, and when they first booked this inn, they spent all their gold coins.
"Zhongfu?" Li Ruotong said with a smile: "No wonder I can't find you, you brat. I didn't expect you to go to Zhongfu. The two daughters of Zhongfu are said to be beauties. Are you talking to me?"
Went there?”
"Uh..." Luo Chen was speechless and said aggrievedly: "Sister Ruotong, you don't think I'm eating soft food, do you?"
"No?" Li Ruotong smiled, and then said seriously: "I have to remind you of something. At the last banquet, the heads of the aristocratic families suffered numerous casualties. In addition, even the geniuses who participated in the martial arts fight in Licheng were almost
They all died. Although they were replaced by others in disguise afterwards, they were not the real people after all.
As time goes by, it will still be noticed. Now the Royal City Competition is coming, and the city lords of the nine royal cities will arrive. Logically speaking, if their goal is really just the Soul Fighting Pavilion, they would have evacuated it long ago.
, but it didn’t, and instead took further control of the city lord’s mansion.
Not only that, but they actually spent so much effort to hide it from everyone in Licheng. I suspect that their real purpose is definitely not as simple as Soul Fighting Pavilion!"
Luo Chen nodded, put away his playfulness, and said in a deep voice: "Sister Ruotong and I have the same idea. I have already suspected that although the five evil spirit monsters are quite strong, there were almost no people gathered in the city lord's mansion that day.
Even though all the high-level combat forces in Licheng were killed, so many people were still killed in the end.
If we only rely on these four monsters, it may put some pressure on the banquet, but it is absolutely impossible to have the strength to crush everything!"
When he inspected Mr. Bai's body that day, various signs showed that Mr. Bai was obviously attacked and killed secretly! And judging from the stunned expression on Mr. Bai's face, the person who killed him was either a familiar person or a close confidant!
After all, Mr. Bai is also a six-star peak fighting spirit master. An ordinary sneak attack may cause him slight injuries, but it is absolutely impossible to kill him with one blow!
This can only show that the person who did this can only be someone close to you, and his cultivation level is extremely high!
Luo Chen had a very bold guess. Perhaps those second-rate top families who died that night were suddenly attacked by people around them, and were severely injured in an instant. Later, they suffered an irresistible enemy, which caused the tragedy that followed.
!
Because when he inspected the corpses that night, he found that except for Mr. Bai and a few second-rate family heads, most people had more than one fatal injury on their bodies! These fatal injuries varied in depth, and judging from the bleeding, they were obviously made up after the fact.
Going up.
"That's not what I'm talking about." Li Ruotong shook his head, and then his eyes fell on Luo Chen: "Don't you find it strange?"
"Sister Ruotong, you are sure?"
"The decisive battle in the royal city! And on the top ten list, except for you and the second young lady of the Zhong family, the other eight people are all unidentified people! And I seem to have seen these eight people somewhere.
, but I can’t explain clearly, but I’m sure that these eight people are definitely not as simple as they seem on the surface!
According to previous regulations, tonight is the time for the Soul Fighting Pavilion to be opened, and you will enter the pavilion together with those eight people."
"There is something I don't understand. Luo Chen shook his head and looked at Li Ruotong and said, "Why are my names and Sister Zhong Li's names on the ten-amount list?"
"Perhaps you are the only two survivors."
Li Ruotong's answer gave Luo Chen goosebumps. He seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly remembered that when the top ten list was announced, all the heads of the five major families were present. Could it be that it was also fake?
If that's the case, wouldn't Zuo Linglong be in danger?
His heart sank. There was no Zuo Linglong's name on the top ten list. If it was really what Sister Ruotong said, wouldn't their purpose be...
Also, the people who attended the government banquet that day were either dead or missing. The only ones who are still alive now are apparently myself and Sister Zhong Li.
If they really want to hide something, they will definitely attack them both!
"Sister Ruotong, I'm timid, so don't scare me."
With that said, Luo Chen opened his arms and was about to fall into Li Ruotong's warm embrace, but the latter dodged him in advance.
"Don't mess around. The reason why you are still safe and sound now is because you are smart enough and did not talk nonsense. But you are a survivor after all. They will find you sooner or later. But no matter what, you are the one in the City Lord's Mansion.
Can’t go anymore.”
Li Ruotong said seriously.
"I see."
Luo Chen nodded, and when Li Ruotong wasn't paying attention, he hugged her arm and shook her: "Sister Ruotong, how about... you come back to Zhong Mansion with me."
"You brat, you are getting more and more arrogant. Be more serious. Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Why are you scared? Do you need a bodyguard by your side?"
Li Ruotong pointed at Luo Chen's forehead in annoyance and said.
"Uh? Ahem... No way, sister Ruotong, if you think so, then I will be sad."
"Come on, come on, start driving."
She twitched her hands, but failed. Luo Chen, the scoundrel, left her with no choice but to follow him.
In fact, Luo Chen himself wasn't too worried, but after being reminded by Li Ruotong, he became secretly vigilant. He was an evil soul master. Although the Zhong Mansion had a strong man like Manager Wei, he was only one person after all.
He was still a little worried. Li Ruotong was very strong. With her here and as a daughter, if anything happened, she would be able to take care of Sister Zhong Li.
He thought he was a good calculator, but little did he know that Li Ruotong had already seen through it and was just too lazy to point it out.
"Sister Zhong Li, let me introduce you. This is Sister Ruotong. Sister Ruotong is not only a beauty, but she is also a powerful five-star soul fighting master."
Luo Chen was proud of himself, but was ignored by the two women, so there was a scene where the two women held hands and went into the house to chat, while Luo Chen was left outside the door.
Luo Chen was a little dumbfounded. What kind of situation? The introduction hasn't been finished yet. Could it be that the two of them knew each other before? No! What kind of situation.
At this time, Luo Chen was speechless. He pushed the door, only to find that it was locked. Luo Chen had no choice but to wander around the courtyard.
At this time, Manager Wei was cleaning up the fallen snow in the huge courtyard. There were not many servants in the Zhong Mansion. After the snow had accumulated so much, if it was not cleaned up in time, it would be easy to fall down once it freezes.
Anyway, he had nothing to do, so Luo Chen simply found a broom and started sweeping together.
"Master Luo, is there something on your mind?"
"Um? I'm a little annoyed."
Luo Chen didn't know how to answer, so he answered casually.
"But because of things in the city lord's palace?"
If Manager Wei had something to say, Luo Chen was surprised and looked at the old man.
"Manager Wei, do you believe what I said?"
"Although I am old, my eyesight is still fresh. I can still see a group of dead bodies walking around outside the city lord's palace."
Manager Wei swept the snow all over the courtyard into a pile, and then ordered his servants to dump the trucks one by one into the pond in the backyard.
"What are Mr. Luo's plans?"
"Plan to?"
A trace of confusion flashed in Luo Chen's eyes. Ever since he left Wuling County, he has been following Zhong Li, breaking into Baiyun Valley and entering Baiyun City. After that, they came to Licheng together and settled in Zhong Mansion. Originally,
We planned to go to the martial arts academy together to enroll in the academy, but we were delayed due to the riot in the Soul Beast Hall. Now that something like this happened again, what are your plans? I don’t know.
"Licheng is going to change again."
Manager Wei sighed softly and continued to sweep away the falling snow in the courtyard.
"Is Manager Wei worried about Sister Xian'er?"
"Miss? Compared to the eldest lady, I am more worried about the second lady. There are guests coming."
Luo Chen frowned slightly, what did Manager Wei mean by this? The missing one was the eldest lady of the Zhong family, why do you say you are more worried about the second lady?
Outside the Zhong Mansion, there was a rapid knock on the door. After opening the door, Luo Chen saw a pale Zuo Linglong, with bloodless face and chapped lips. When she saw Luo Chen, she rushed towards him.
"Miss Zuo?"
Luo Chen frowned and stepped forward to support Zuo Linglong's body. Her hands were very cold, without any warmth, and even a little stiff.
"Help...save me."
Zuo Linglong spoke, and Luo Chen frowned. At this time, Li Ruotong and Zhong Li happened to walk out of the back room. Seeing this scene, the two women curled their lips at the same time.
"Look, what am I talking about? If you don't take good care of this little guy, you will have something to worry about in the future."
Li Ruotong smiled and spoke, Zhong Li nodded and said a good word.
"Why is it so cold?"
Luo Chen exclaimed and looked at Manager Wei.
"Throw it out."
When Manager Wei spoke, Luo Chen looked stunned and threw him out? Why did these words sound so harsh? It was because of such words that he was thrown out of Luo Mansion and almost died on the street. Now he suddenly heard
These four words made him subconsciously feel angry.
Although I don’t know why Zuo Linglong came to Zhong Mansion, the weakened cry for help in her mouth earlier was obviously something happened. Moreover, Zuo Linglong was in extremely bad condition at this time, and her hands were very cold. He couldn’t do it if he threw it directly!
Frowning, Zhong Li and Li Ruotong also came in front of them. Zhong Li was also a little surprised to see Zuo Linglong again. However, Li Ruotong's pupils suddenly shrank slightly and he quickly stepped forward and took Zuo Linglong in Luo Chen's arms.
Pushed the pull out to the ground.
"Sister Ruotong, what are you doing?"
Luo Chen frowned and looked at Li Ruotong in confusion.
"Is it comfortable to hold a dead body?" (To be continued)
