When Ling Lou saw Zhou Tian kneeling in front of him, he was at a loss for a moment and didn't know what to say, so he immediately helped him up with both hands.
"Brother Zhou Tian, I know what you mean, but Patriarch Haotian's biological brother is something that City Lord Qian has warned not to touch. If you do this, it will be very difficult for her."
Zhou Tian lowered his head and thought for a moment, looked into her eyes and said softly: "I know you can't be the master, but please take me to see your city lord quickly. This matter will not be delayed easily."
Ling Lou thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed to him. After talking to the other soldiers, he took Zhou Tian to the city lord's mansion. On the way, the city was quiet and peaceful late at night. Every household extinguished the candlelight, and the moonlight shone on the city.
There was a glimmer of light on the ground, and Zhou Tian wished he could arrive soon, but Linglou had a sad look on his face. Looking at Zhou Tian's impatient look, he said: "Brother Zhou Tian, it's already early morning, and I don't know
Is the city lord already asleep? I'll knock on the door when I get there later. If no one comes to answer, please go back early tomorrow morning."
Zhou Tian also knew that it was rude to come to the city lord so late, but things happened for a reason, and he couldn't care too much. He nodded and agreed on the surface, but in fact he had already thought of a countermeasure in his heart.
They quickened their pace and came to the door of the City Lord's Mansion. Ling Lou first knocked a few times, but as she said, no one responded at all in the City Lord's Mansion, and there was no sound at all.
Ling Lou turned to Zhou Tian and said, "It's better to come back early tomorrow morning. I'm already asleep at this hour..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Tian jumped up unexpectedly and jumped directly into the city lord's palace. Ling Lou was shocked and was about to jump in, but stopped again and thought to himself: Zhou Tian is an outsider, maybe he can
It was urgent to jump in, but since I was the guard of the city of demon, it might not be appropriate to jump in wearing armor and soldiers, so I would just wait outside the house.
Zhou Tian fell into the city lord's palace. Since he had been here before, he took a few glances and ran straight to the hall of the palace.
"who!"
Zhou Tian didn't run a few steps when someone discovered him. It turned out to be a guard patrolling the house at night. He heard a noise and shouted. Zhou Tian immediately stopped. After all, he came to ask the city chief for help, not to be an assassin.
There was no need to avoid taboos, so he simply responded: "Zhou Tian, in the lower academy, came here specifically to see your city lord. I have something important to discuss, so please report it!"
When the guard heard that it was Zhou Tian, he quickly ran over with a lantern and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Zhou Tian, you? How did you get in?"
Because the situation was urgent, Zhou Tian said unabashedly: "Ah, I'm sorry, I knocked on the door and saw that no one answered, so I jumped in without permission. I know that what I did was bad, but there is a reason for it. After the matter is over, I
I must bear the thorn in person and apologize to the city lord!"
Zhou Tian's answer obviously startled the patrolling guard. You should know that such intrusions into other people's houses would normally be tied up and held accountable. But when Zhou Tian was opposite, the guard smiled awkwardly: "
Haha, it doesn’t matter! Mr. Zhou has brought a glimmer of hope for the City of Darkness. Even if you break in, the city lord will not blame you. You are now the great benefactor of the entire City of Darkness. Who dares to complain about you?"
"But...but after all, this is the city lord's mansion. The city lord has been asleep for a long time now. It is early in the morning, when she should be sleeping soundly. It may be inappropriate to wake her up at this time. Look at this..."
Zhou Tian didn't know how to deal with the guard's words for a while, but remembering that Su Xinghe was in danger, he could only bite the bullet and said: "Girl, please excuse me to report. If the city lord blames me, I will bear the responsibility for you."
yes."
At first glance, this guard was Zhou Tian's admirer. Although he was very short, he was quite courageous. After thinking for a while, he agreed.
She turned around, holding the lantern, and walked towards the room where the city lord was resting.
Because most of the people in the city are women, especially in the city lord's palace, there are all female servants and guards. If you wander around and see scenes you shouldn't see, it will be inconvenient. Since this girl has promised to report it herself, you can rest assured that you are there.
Just wait for news.
After a long time, the girl hurried over. When she saw Zhou Tian, she quickly grabbed his arm and pulled him to the corner: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Tian saw her nervous look and asked hurriedly. The little girl blew out the candle in the lantern and told him in a low voice: "Mr. Zhou, I wanted to report just now, but I saw the little princess halfway. You also know the little princess."
The Lord hates you the most, so I hid. Unexpectedly, she found me, so I ran over. I hope I won’t chase you. Otherwise, if you break into the mansion without permission, and according to her temperament, I don’t know what you will do.
Things are coming!”
After listening to her words, Zhou Tian nodded, but at the same time he was afraid that it would be too late, so he said softly to the guard: "Girl, I'm tired of you, tell me which room the city lord rests in, and I'll go there myself.
"
"Who is there? You are so sneaky. The city lord's palace can still tolerate your gossip. Whoever is there, get out of here!" Zhou Tian heard the voice of the little princess and hurriedly covered it with his hands.
He stopped the guard's mouth, blinked to silence her, and jumped out from the corner.
"Zhou Tian! You?"
It turned out that it was really the little princess He Zhiyan. When he saw Zhou Tian, he first narrowed his eyes. Although his eyes were big, they looked a bit gloomy when he narrowed them.
"Zhou Tian, how dare you break into the City Lord's Mansion without permission? Don't think that because you have done some good things about the City of Demon, I can let you go. What kind of place is the City Lord's Mansion? How can you let others break into it at will? Who is on duty today?
Who is on night watch?"
The little princess shouted loudly, and in an instant, candles were lit in each room.
Zhou Tian thought to himself that the girl who was hiding in the corner with him must not come out without being scared. The little princess was still angry. If something happened when she came out, he would not be able to forgive himself.
But as soon as He Zhiyan shouted a few words, the girl walked out from behind Zhou Tian.
"See the princess, it's me!"
When He Zhiyan saw it was her, he was filled with anger and didn't know where to go. Since he couldn't beat Zhou Tian, he stepped forward in anger and slapped her.
He beat the girl's blood directly. Zhou Tian saw the blood stains on the corner of her mouth and looked at her angrily: "Everyone is responsible for what he does. I broke into the mansion without permission. It's none of her business. Come at me!"
The little girl was holding on to the wall tremblingly, panting heavily and unable to speak for a while.
He Zhiyan's sinister face suddenly smiled: "She is a guard in my city lord's palace, what? I can't even control my own slaves? Let alone beating her, even if I kill her, it doesn't matter!"
As soon as He Zhiyan finished speaking, he pulled out a sword and raised his hand to stab the girl behind Zhou Tian. At this time, Zhou Tian quickly raised his hand and picked the sword in her hand, but tragedy still happened.
Originally, the sword was meant to hit the guard's chest, but Zhou Tian made such a move and directly stabbed the girl's left eye. Suddenly, a heartbreaking shout pierced the entire night sky, and the city lord was also awakened.
The girl covered her left eye, blood dripping from her fingers, and she fainted after a while...
