Qingxin Pavilion is a relatively ordinary inn in Sangu City. The reason why Minghou and Yueji chose to stay in this inn was not because they had no money, but because it was easier to hide their traces.
It's just that one of Minghou and Yueji is tall and strong, and the other is beautiful. Their characteristics are too obvious, and it is difficult to hide them from the attention of interested people.
"Da da da……"
Just as Ming Hou and the others were enjoying lunch in Qingxin Pavilion, a burst of orderly footsteps suddenly sounded, and more than a dozen maids in blue and white costumes slowly walked into Qingxin Pavilion surrounded by Tiannu Rui.
Under the wary gaze of Ming Hou, Tiannu Rui walked up to Yue Ji, looked her up and down, and said with a playful smile: "She is indeed a beauty that I pity, no wonder the Empress is tempted!"
"
Facing Tiannu Rui's somewhat provocative gaze, Yue Ji was not angry, but asked with a smile: "This sister should be from the 'Huanyinfang', right? The two of us have never violated Zhuge's rules since we entered the city.
The rules set by the city lord, I wonder what my sister means by bringing so many people here?"
Ever since Zhuge Qingyun became the lord of Sangu City, he also made several new rules, including the rule that no private fights were allowed in Sangu City.
Although Ming Hou and Yue Ji are ranked in the top five on the list of killers in the world, they are only at their own level, and they really dare not ignore the rules set by Zhuge Qingyun.
"You don't have to be so nervous. I am here on the order of the empress to invite you to the city lord's mansion."
Although Yue Ji looked calm on the surface, Tiannu Rui still noticed the small movements of her right hand on her waist, which she clenched unconsciously.
"???"
When Minghou and Yueji heard this, they couldn't help showing expressions of doubt and hesitation.
Since the empress founded the 'Huan Yin Fang' in Sangu City, her name can often be heard in Sangu City. Naturally, Minghou and Yue Ji have also heard of her name.
It's just that this is the first time for Minghou and Yue Ji to come to Sangu City, and they have never seen the empress before, so they wonder why the empress wants to see them?
After all, compared to the powerful wife of the city lord, assassins like Ming Hou and others who have not even reached the realm of freedom can only be regarded as two insignificant little characters!
Seeing the hesitant expressions of Ming Hou and the others, Tiannu Rui said calmly: "By the way, the Empress also asked me to bring you a message, if you want to know about the murder of red clothes in Wangyi Tower thirteen years ago
Who is the murderer? Then follow me to the city lord's mansion!"
"What?!"
When Minghou heard this, his eyes widened, and he subconsciously clenched the golden sword in his hand.
The reason why Minghou and the others appeared in Sangu City was because they wanted to ask Monk Wuxin in the golden coffin for help, asking him to use 'Inner Demon Diversion' to elicit the lost memory of Minghou, so that he could recall who killed him back then.
Is his house full?
If the Empress really knew who the real culprit was who destroyed Wangyi Tower, then there would naturally be no need for Hades to snatch the golden coffin.
Yue Ji stretched out her hand to hold Ming Hou down, who was about to explode. She smiled at Tian Nurui and said, "Since this sister has said so, it seems that we have no other choice. Please lead the way!"
Over the years, Minghou has suffered a lot in order to find the murderer who destroyed Wangyi Tower. This matter has become his current obsession, so when Tian Nurui said that sentence, Yue Ji knew that they
I have to go to the City Lord's Mansion.
However, Yue Ji is not a fool. She feels that going to the City Lord's Mansion this time should not be a bad thing. Otherwise, if the empress wanted to harm her and Hades, there would be no need to go to such trouble.
…
The City Lord's Mansion is the most heavily guarded place in Sangu City. In addition to the guards responsible for patrolling, there are also many powerful Talisman puppets hidden in the secret.
Under the leadership of Tiannu Rui, Ming Hou and Yue Ji entered the interior of the city lord's mansion smoothly, but a layer of cold sweat broke out behind the two of them.
When Ming Hou and Yue Ji were walking just now, they clearly felt several very dangerous auras, and they even had the illusion of half stepping into the gate of hell.
Ming Hou was sure of one thing, that is, if Tiannu Rui had not led the way, they would have died without a burial place before they entered the city lord's palace.
"嘤嘤嘤..."
Just when Tiannu Rui led Ming Hou and the others to the backyard, a cute voice suddenly sounded, and then a cute-looking iron-eating beast slowly walked out of the corner corridor not far away.
When Tiannu Rui saw Zhuge Qingyun sitting on Abao's back, she was slightly startled for a moment, then quickly knelt down on one knee and said: "Slave, please see the city lord!"
"No need to be polite."
Seeing this, Zhuge Qingyun raised his right hand and waved it gently, and an invisible force directly lifted Tiannu Rui up.
"City Lord? He is the Sword Gambler!"
When Minghou heard Tiannu Rui's name to Zhuge Qingyun, his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly, and his face couldn't help showing a hint of excitement.
Because Minghou himself is also a swordsman, when he saw Zhuge Qingyun, the 'Sword Immortal', he would inevitably feel excited.
"Golden giant sword, tunic sword, you two are Minghou and Yueji, right?"
After Zhuge Qingyun noticed the fiery gaze of Lord Ming, he glanced at their weapons and instantly guessed their identities.
"Marquis of Ming, Yue Ji, have you seen the Sword Immortal!"
Upon hearing this, Minghou and Yueji quickly bowed their hands and replied with respect.
When facing Tiannu Rui, Ming Hou and Yue Ji could still maintain a relatively calm expression, but facing Zhuge Qingyun, the 'Sword Gambler', they really couldn't control their inner admiration.
"Ruier, why are they here?"
"Reporting to the Lord of the City, they are guests invited by the Empress."
When Zhuge Qingyun heard this, he shook his head helplessly and said: "Alas...it seems that Yun'er's old habit has happened again."
Ever since the empress was brought out of the script world by Zhuge Qingyun, she had a very great dream, which was to open the Fantasy Music Workshop all over the world.
Therefore, whenever the Empress sees a high-quality plot female character, she will find a way to include it in the "Fantasy Sound Workshop". This is the case for Tiannu Rui, and the same is true for Yue Ji.
"Since you are the guests invited by Yun'er, then come in with me!"
"Let's go in too!"
After Tiannurui saw Zhuge Qingyun taking the lead in riding Abao into the other courtyard, she took the somewhat reserved Minghou and Yue Ji into the other courtyard where the empress lived.
"Σ(っ°Д°;)っ"
When Ming Hou and the others entered the other courtyard, they couldn't help showing shocked expressions on their faces.
