"Lord City Lord, it's late at night, my wife wants you to go over and go to bed."
A servant said outside the study.
"Okay." The man sitting by the window in the study finally put down the book in his hand and walked out of the room.
Follow the servant and go to the lady's room.
But the moment he walked out of the study, Luo Cong suddenly frowned, as if he felt something was wrong.
Luo Cong gradually looked toward the bamboo forest outside the small courtyard of the study, and walked in with a gloomy expression.
On the dark gray ground, Luo Cong saw a pair of footprints.
"They are coming..."
Luo Cong murmured: "It doesn't seem to be the method of the Zhaoxing Division. If it is a warrior of the Zhaoxing Division, why can't he hide his flaws?"
The servant walked to Luo Cong, saw the footprints in front of Luo Cong, and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter? Lord of the City?"
Luo Cong straightened up and said in a cold voice: "Send the order, there is an assassin in the house, the whole house is sealed off, and we will search with all our strength!"
…
"I didn't expect that the legitimate daughter of the Chen family in the imperial capital would end up in such a situation. It's really sad."
A gust of wind blew by, and Lin Bai appeared in the courtyard like a ghost.
Hearing the sound, the woman in the room immediately became alert and shouted softly: "Who!"
The woman's voice was a little wary, a little uneasy, and a little happy.
Then, holding a World War I oil lamp in her hand, she walked out of the dim inner room and looked at Lin Bai standing in the courtyard.
The woman looked Lin Bai up and down, and said with a hint of indifference in her tone: "You can sneak into a place like the Lord's Mansion of Fengling City with ease, so it seems that you are not an ordinary person.
.”
"Third disciple of Tianshui Sect, Lin Bai, I have met my senior." Lin Bai gave a gentle and elegant gesture with cupped fists.
"So he is a disciple of the Tianshui Sect, no wonder he has such great abilities." The woman looked enlightened and nodded.
Although this woman was imprisoned in a small courtyard here, and her cultivation and meridians were completely disabled, she already had the arrogance of a superior person in her speech.
Perhaps this is because she grew up in the Chen family in the imperial capital for the first half of her life, which gave her a naturally unruly air.
Lin Bai asked: "Why did the senior end up in such a situation?"
Hearing this question, a wry smile appeared on the corners of the woman's pale lips, and a line of tears left her eyes. She looked up to the sky and sighed, but she didn't say a word for a long time.
"Why did you come here?"
She did not answer Lin Bai's question, but instead asked Lin Bai's purpose.
Lin Bai cupped his hands and said, "Senior, do you believe me when I say I'm just walking around?"
"Although my cultivation has been abolished, I am not stupid." The woman chuckled and said: "These days, I have heard the maids and servants in the mansion talking about many things about Kezhou. It is said that His Highness King Chen came to Kezhou in person.
, want to lead the army to destroy the Blood God Cult?"
"You came to Fengling City and sneaked into the city lord's mansion for this matter, right?"
Lin Bai smiled and said: "Since the seniors know, then the juniors will ask one more question, whether the lord of Fengling City, Luo Cong, has anything to do with the Blood God Sect?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, her expression was dull for a moment, and she slowly replied: "No. Luo Cong is a disciple of the Wentian Sect. He was born into a well-known and decent family. How could he do something as bad as a pig or a dog?"
"Hahaha." Lin Bai laughed loudly, looked at the woman speechlessly, and said, "Senior is really passionate about Luo Cong, but it seems that Luo Cong is very cruel to you."
"His Royal Highness King Chen has actually obtained evidence of Luo Cong's crime. I am here to take the first step. His Highness King Chen will come with the army later."
"Luo Cong, sooner or later you will inevitably die!"
The woman sneered coldly: "Little baby, don't try to trick me. I just said that although my cultivation has been ruined, I am not stupid."
"If His Highness King Chen really dared to touch Luo Cong easily, he would not have sent you to Fengling City."
"I know better than you how deep the water in Kezhou is. The city lords of the major cities in Kezhou are all the disciples and former officials of high-ranking officials in the dynasty. Killing them is more difficult than ascending to heaven. King Chen
If His Highness is not careful, he will make enemies on all sides. This is not a situation His Highness King Chen wants to see!"
Lin Bai's face darkened, and his heart felt cold. He didn't expect this woman to be so knowledgeable.
Immediately, Lin Bai changed his mind and asked: "Luo Cong treated you like this, and you still want to protect him?"
The woman remained silent, tears falling from her eyes: "He was just... deceived by an adulterer!"
"Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!" Lin Bai smiled helplessly.
Lin Bai originally wanted to find out about Luo Cong from this woman's mouth.
After all, this woman's identity is very special. She is the legitimate daughter of the Chen family in the imperial capital.
As long as she is willing to testify, Luo Cong will undoubtedly die.
But Lin Bai never expected that there would be such an infatuated woman in this world.
Luo Cong was so cruel to her, but she actually still had hope for Luo Cong.
"I won't tell anyone about your arrival here."
"Leave quickly before Luo Cong discovers you. Otherwise, once he discovers you, you may not be his match based on your cultivation."
The woman issued an eviction order.
Lin Bai asked: "Senior, do you need me to inform the seniors of the Chen family about your situation here?"
"Several seniors of the Chen family are now in Kezhou, and Chen Yule, the holy son of the Chen family, is also in Kezhou."
A touch of tenderness appeared in the woman's eyes, and she murmured in a low voice: "Yu Le, that boy actually became the Holy Son?"
"No need!" The woman decisively rejected Lin Bai and said, "You don't need to worry about my affairs."
The woman knew very well that if the Chen family of the imperial capital knew about his situation in Fengling City, they would be furious.
The direct daughter of the Chen family is not an ordinary member of the clan.
The legitimate daughter is a direct lineage, and she is the purest member of the Chen family.
In terms of seniority, even Chen Yule, the contemporary saint son of the Chen family, would have to call her aunt when he saw this woman.
So she knew very well that once the Chen family found out about his situation, Luo Cong would be doomed!
"No wonder the senior has been imprisoned in the small courtyard here for so many years and has never asked the Chen family for help. It turns out that you still have love for Luo Cong!"
"Ask the world, what is love? It's just a commitment between life and death!"
Lin Bai said with emotion.
Just then.
Outside the small courtyard, there was suddenly a loud noise.
"Go look over there."
"Seal the City Lord's Mansion and don't let a single bird go!"
In the distance, the roar of soldiers could be heard, echoing in the city lord's palace.
When Lin Bai saw this, his face could not help but darken, and he immediately said: "Senior, I will come to visit you another day. I take my leave!"
After saying that, Lin Bai turned around and disappeared into the small courtyard.
Not long after.
A group of soldiers came to the small courtyard and saw the pale woman standing on the stairs, and their eyes couldn't help but be frightened.
These soldiers were still a little humble, bowed and saluted, and asked: "Have you met Madam?"
The woman asked calmly: "What happened?"
The soldier said: "An assassin has entered the house, and we are hunting him down. On the order of the Lord of the City, I came to visit my wife. I wonder if she is frightened? Do you know the whereabouts of the assassin?"
The woman's eyes were numb, she shook her head and said, "No."
The soldier's eyes were as bright as a torch, and he scanned the surroundings. The woman saw the soldier's gaze, and smiled and said, "If you want to come in and search, then go ahead and search. The room is not very big anyway, and the search can be completed quickly."
When the soldier received the permission, he cupped his fists and saluted: "Thank you madam for the permission. We are also following the order."
The woman nodded: "I understand."
"Search!" The soldier rushed into the house and started searching through boxes and cabinets.
After a search, no trace was found, and the soldiers turned around and left.
