Rather than saying that it is part of the formation, it is better to say that it is a part that was intercepted by some kind of force that confused the space.
It is an ancient city wall with endless historical vicissitudes. It is very strange and evil!
Luo Chen wanted to say something more, but in the end he couldn't change Li Ruotong's self-determination.
"Actually, I won't be able to stay in Licheng for long."
Li Ruotong spoke, and Luo Chen's eyes flashed with surprise: "What does Sister Ruotong mean?"
"Silly you, what do you think will happen to this year's royal city, Dabi Li City? Once Li City is stripped of its title of royal city, won't this so-called city lord's palace become an empty shell? Even if I think about it then,
If you continue to work here, no one will give your sister a monthly salary, huh? You seem to be a little gloating about your misfortune."
After feeding the last spoonful of ginger soup to Luo Chen, Li Ruotong put the empty bowl in his hand on the stool and said, "Okay, I've finished drinking the ginger soup. Cover yourself with a quilt and have a good sleep. Just sweat out."
Already."
"Ah? It's gone?"
Luo Chen blinked and pressed, turned around and buried his head in Li Ruotong's arms, hugging him with his back, a bit rogue.
"No nonsense. I finally know why that girl Zhong Li ran out in a hurry with a blushing face. You, you, you are really noisy. Okay, it's getting late. Sister, I have to go to the city lord's mansion to take up my duties later.
."
Luo Chen loosened his arms and lay down obediently on the bed. Li Ruotong said a few words, then changed his clothes and left the Zhong Mansion. As soon as Li Ruotong left, Luo Chen lay down for a while and then got out of bed.
The snow outside the room was still falling. Zhong Li had a pretty red face and a head of silver hair. She was holding a bucket in her hand, taking small steps, and humming a little tune with a little joy.
However, when she saw Luo Chen leaning in front of the door looking at the snow from a distance, her little mouth started to pout.
"Sister Zhong Li, what are you holding in your hand?"
Luo Chen asked knowingly.
"Pig food, feed the pigs, who told you to get up?"
With that said, he pulled Luo Chen into the house with his backhand.
"I'm fine, aren't I? Let's not talk about this anymore, Sister Zhong Li, but if there's anything delicious, I'm almost starving to death."
I couldn't wait to open the lid of the small wooden barrel and took out three stacks of side dishes and three white flour steamed buns.
Luo Chen's eyes were gleaming, and he suddenly had a flash of light.
"Phew, I'm so full, my stomach is about to burst."
He let out a sigh of satisfaction and felt instantly full of strength. As he spoke, he still jumped around in place a few times.
"By the way, Sister Zhong Li, counting the time, people from the Nine Royal Cities should have arrived, right?"
"Oh, you said this, it's not yet, but it will be soon, why are you asking this?"
"I'm just curious. If Licheng is really kicked out of the royal city! What will be the impact? For example... the city lord's palace."
Zhong Li wrinkled his face and thought for a while, then shook his head: "I don't know, but the five major families of Mo, Zuo, Zheng, Xue, and Wei have just announced officially that they will move out of Licheng. After this disaster, Licheng
The major aristocratic families were already in panic, and now that the five major families have suddenly moved away, it will more or less cause a lot of impact.
As for the City Lord’s Mansion, my sister said that the original mansion will be retained, but it seems that the Mansion Master is going to be replaced, but no one knows what will happen if the Imperial City doesn’t say anything.”
Luo Chen nodded in understanding. Three days later, in the sky outside Licheng, countless large flying soul beasts circled and descended. Their roars shook the sky, triggering a new earthquake in Licheng!
People from the Nine Royal Cities are coming!
The nine palace lords of each royal city and the ninety geniuses participating in the royal city competition gathered together and landed outside the city in a proud manner. The gate guards stationed at the city gate were so frightened that they knelt on the ground on the spot.
The nine people headed by them were all dressed in luxurious golden robes. They had sharp edges and corners and were of different ages. Some looked as graceful as young people, some looked like scholars, some were burly and domineering, and some were quite old city lords.
.
But no matter what, the momentum of the nine people was high, and the soul power in their bodies was gushing out, which gave people great oppression. The nine people were lined up in a row, and just standing there, the city gate they pressed was almost shattered.
Behind the nine people, there were geniuses from various royal cities, either young men or young girls. All of them looked aloof and arrogant, with their heads held high and their chests held high. They stood proudly in the wind and frost.
These ninety geniuses are the geniuses who came to participate in this royal city competition. They are all the best of their generation in each royal city.
According to the etiquette, the head of Licheng Palace had to come in person with the heads of the major families in Licheng to greet him. He needed to lay out a red carpet and scatter flower petals. However, at this time, there were quite a few heads of families from major families outside the city gate.
But most of them are ordinary second- and third-rate small aristocratic families, and what's even more annoying is that from the beginning to the end, not a single person has been seen in the City Lord's Mansion, let alone the Lord of the Mansion.
Outside the city gate, there were crowds of people, and the heads of various aristocratic families were sweating on their foreheads. Someone from the city lord's palace had already gone to notify them, but at this time there was still no news.
At this time, the atmosphere outside the city gate had already become very depressing.
People from the nine royal cities arrived one after another. Logically speaking, they should have checked into the city lord's mansion by this time, but at this time they were stuck outside the city gate, with the cold wind blowing all over the sky.
And the originally arrogant geniuses of the nine royal cities were now frozen into grandsons. Their faces turned blue, their lips turned purple, and they were no longer arrogant.
"Hmph! Is Li Tianlong holding a funeral in his mansion?"
After two hours of cold wind, a royal palace master finally couldn't stand it anymore. If this continued, they would be fine, but how did the group of little guys behind him get affected?
All the big and small aristocratic families outside the city did not dare to speak. Even they felt a little strange at this time. Although they were unhappy with the aloofness of the people in the Nine Kings City, as the masters of this year, they could not lose the courtesy.
, otherwise, this would be too disappointing.
"I shouldn't have come today."
The Lord of the Overlord City roared, his face livid with anger. Even if the people from the nine king cities did not inform them in advance, it has been so long. Even if they were ready, people should have arrived, even if Li Tianlong was angry that they did not inform them in advance.
They came uninvited after being notified. At the very least, they should have sent a steward to invite them into the city first.
What's going on with Chu just standing outside the city gate?
In fact, the people from the nine royal cities came this time without releasing any news at all, just to make the palace master in Licheng look bad. In their opinion, after this royal city competition, looking at the entire Tiandou Empire, the ten kings
The city should also get rid of one.
It's just a small Licheng, and it has long lost its qualifications as a royal city. How can the City Lord's Mansion, which has lost its royal city heritage, have the qualifications to compare with them?
Therefore, the nine royal cities jointly led the geniuses from each city to arrive directly, in order to catch Licheng off guard, so that they could take advantage of the unfavorable consequences one by one, and then quickly end the farce of this royal city competition.
Because in their opinion, this is just a waste of their time.
But they didn't expect that they would shoot themselves in the foot. If what happened today were reported back, the face of the Nine King Cities would be completely lost.
It would undoubtedly be even more embarrassing if he returned angrily. At that time, people would say that even the gates of Licheng cannot be entered from the Nine King Cities.
"Brother Overlord, please be patient and wait a moment."
The Lord of Dragon City spoke, and quickly went to report the return of the family, but his face looked a little embarrassed.
"how?"
"The Lord of the Palace said that the City Lord's Palace has not yet received a request from the Nine Kings. He said that... the people outside the city are probably ruthless gangsters who want to cheat people out of food and drink. There is no need to... ignore them and let them... freeze to death.
It's better outside the city.
He also said...that if all the family heads are fine, they should stop blocking the city gates."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded. All the aristocratic families looked at each other, looked up, and each one was so scared that they clasped their fists and left quickly, because at this time, the faces of the nine king city lords turned ashen.
Soon, there was a huge crowd at the city gate. Except for the people from the Nine Kings City, there was no one guarding the city gate.
The gate of Licheng was slammed shut, and the nine palace masters of the royal city were all ashamed and messy in the wind.
The Lord of Ba City was so angry that he went to smash the city gate, but he was regarded as a fool. As a result, he received an arrow. The angry Lord of Ba City almost punched the city gate.
Among the ten major royal cities, it can be ranked among the top three. As the lord of the Overlord City, how could I have ever been so angry?
"what to do?"
The Lord of Huangcheng said, "The weather has been very bad recently. Looking at the sky, there will be a snowstorm soon. Even if we go back the same way now, it is not suitable. Moreover, if we miss this session, we will have to wait another three years."
Although Licheng is also a royal city, it is a barren land for dozens of miles. There is not even a place to rest, so you can only enter the city.
The Lord of Dragon City said with a solemn face: "Send me a greeting card!"
Three hours later, the closed gate of Licheng slowly opened. Commander Shang enthusiastically ordered people to hand out soft blankets one by one. In this way, the geniuses who came to participate in the competition in the royal city were stunned one after another.
Under his gaze, he entered Li City wrapped in a blanket and with a runny nose.
"Give me one too!"
The Lord of Ba City grabbed Commander Shang's collar. He didn't care what others thought. He only knew that he was cold!
In fact, the other eight palace masters were also very cold. What does it mean to have demeanor without warmth? The nine of them thought that with their strong cultivation, they only wore a golden robe and endured the falling snow and the cold wind for five times.
By now, my hands and feet were already cold.
"Why don't the other governors also want one?"
Commander Shang walked forward with a smile, hugging a pile of blankets, and said with a playful smile.
The eight palace masters were all moved, but in the end they were stubborn and gave up: "No, it's just a little bit of cold. If we, the practitioners, can't even bear this little wind and cold, what's the point?
Practice?”
The Lord of Dragon City spoke, and as he spoke, he turned to lecture the geniuses from each city wrapped in blankets, saying.
"sharp!"
The palace lords of each city secretly gave a thumbs up, and they all gritted their teeth and stood tall, taking the lead and setting an example to prove the brilliance of the palace lords.
However, soon, except for the palace lord of Ba City and the genius of Ba City, the geniuses of the other eight cities gritted their teeth and loosened the tightly wrapped blankets. As a result, the geniuses of the eight royal cities froze one by one before they even entered the city lord's palace.
, I found a nearby inn and stayed there.
"Tch, you little bastards, please remember this. You must not follow the trend of stupid things like this in the future."
The Lord of Ba City Palace was so proud that he sneezed like a grandson from the cold.
"The mansion... the master of the mansion is Ying... wise..." (To be continued)
