Zhou Tian was in bed at this time. Although he still felt some back pain intermittently, he didn't want to just lie there, let alone do nothing and wait for his condition to get better.
After hearing the conversation between the doctor outside the door and the city lord, his brows knitted together, and he was feeling anxious. Tomorrow, Ancestor Haotian would launch a general attack on the City of Demon. If he was still like this, he might not only be unable to help, but also
will become a burden.
Thinking of this, he pressed his hand on his waist, feeling fine, and then wanted to get up immediately. At this time, the city lord opened the door and saw that Zhou Tian didn't listen to the doctor's orders, sat up privately, and hurriedly ran to the bed, very surprised.
He said seriously: "Brother Zhou Tian, what are you doing? Only doctors can help you cure your back injury. You need to rest for a few days, otherwise you will have sequelae!"
The city lord was extremely anxious and worried when he saw Zhou Tian's pale face.
Zhou Tian smiled, his eyes widened a little, and then he pretended to be fine and said: "It doesn't matter, City Lord. You see, I'm fine now. Let's quickly discuss how to deal with Patriarch Haotian. This
This matter cannot be delayed, it is related to the life and death of the entire city of demon, and we must not slack off."
How could the city lord not know Zhou Tian's words, but with Zhou Tian's current appearance, she couldn't bear to let him get ahead, so she looked at Zhou Tian seriously again, and said with sincerity: "The City of Demon has existed for hundreds of years, and it has never
It suffered such a blow because the predecessors who created this city at that time put women in charge in order to avoid war. It is said that no matter how strong a woman is, she cannot make waves. As a result, all the disasters over the years have nothing to do with the City of Demons.
, you can only take care of yourself, but now that Haotian Pavilion is going to launch a large-scale attack, I regard it as a test for the city of demons, and it has nothing to do with you at all; you have done enough things, and the people of the city of demons will no longer treat you.
No complaints, now your waist is injured because of this, we, the City of Demon, are sorry for you, and we are even more sorry for the master of the academy."
"You don't have to worry about this matter. When your back injury gets better, I will send someone to send you out of Xihuan..."
The city lord suddenly said this, catching Zhou Tian off guard. Before he could respond, the city lord walked out of the room after finishing speaking. Zhou Tian wanted to get up and tell her clearly, but with a little effort, a soreness in his lower back made him suddenly feel pain.
He lay down again.
"Wang Bingwu, I will never give up easily..." Zhou Tian said to himself. Although he can't stand up completely now, his strong willpower makes him constantly use the sea of qi to stimulate his whole body, trying to use the sea of qi to push him
The waist is cured.
At the same time, Xia Shuning had already arrived at the gate of the city on black horse. She quickly dismounted and tied the horse to a tree stump close to the city gate. She walked to the city gate and saw that the defender was actually
woman.
"Wait a minute! Is the girl going to the city?"
Two guards blocked her way with spears and asked very seriously.
Xia Shuning thought for a while and said slowly: "I want to go to the city to find someone, is it possible?"
After hearing this, the guards looked at each other and asked doubtfully: "The girl is not from Xihuan at first glance. Who are you looking for in the City of Demon? Are you going to visit relatives? Or..."
Xia Shuning never mentioned that she was from Dong Chu. Her eyes rolled around, thinking that Wang Bingwu once said that Zhou Tian was very kind to the city of the city. She thought that Zhou Tian's status in the city of the city should be very high, so she
After a pause: "Oh, I'm here to see Zhou Tian, I wonder if he is here!"
Xia Shuning asked while observing the two guards. It was obvious that the emotions in the eyes of the two guards immediately changed when they heard the word Zhou Tian.
"Are you here to see Zhou Tian? Who are you Zhou Tian?"
The guard was very responsible. Xia Shuning didn't expect it at all. She paused for a while, and then smiled: "Zhou Tian and I were already engaged. This time I came to him to ask him how the relevant preparations were."
"Please, two sisters, please be accommodating."
When the guard heard this, he quickly raised his spear and put it at his side, bowed and said: "It turns out she is Mr. Zhou's fiancée. I have heard him say it a long time ago, please come in quickly. Mr. Zhou is currently recuperating in the city lord's palace. After entering the city, we
Someone will be sent to take you to the city lord’s mansion.”
After Xia Shuning heard this, she thought to herself: Sure enough, Zhou Tian was loved by all the people in the city. No wonder Wang Bingwu was so disgusted and angry.
Xia Shuning nodded and then followed in.
Walking in the city, Xia Shuning was surprised to find that most of the people on the streets were women, and men were rarely seen. What made her even more surprised was that except for the guard who just guarded the city, who was a woman, the other soldiers patrolling the streets were all women. She
He turned his head and asked softly: "Sister, may I ask why there are so many women in this city but so few men?"
The guard smiled and responded: "Haha, this is normal. You must have just arrived in the City of Darkness, and you don't know the situation in the city. In the City of Darkness, most women make the decisions, and men's status is relatively low.
This is what makes this city so special…”
The guard took her to the city lord's mansion and explained to her the history of the City of Demon through the ages.
Xia Shuning listened clearly.
After walking for a while, the two guards suddenly stopped and looked at each other. Xia Shuning almost bumped into them for some reason: "This?"
"what happened?"
One of the guards whispered: "The one in front wearing gorgeous clothes is the little princess of the City of Demons..."
Xia Shuning didn't know who the little princess was, so she just nodded slightly.
"Princess Princess!"
When the two guards saw He Zhiyan coming, they hurriedly lowered their heads, but Xia Shuning still raised her head and held her chest out. This made He Zhiyan a little angry when he saw it, and he was even more angry after being scolded by his mother just now.
.
"Whose girl is this? How dare she be so ignorant of etiquette! Don't you know how to salute me when you see me?" He Zhiyan stared at Xia Shuning with two pairs of big eyes.
But Xia Shuning didn't take it seriously, and said very politely: "This is the little princess of the City of Demons. I am Xia Shuning. I came this time to talk to Zhou Tian about the engagement. Please don't take offense.
!”
He Zhiyan first heard that she was Xia Shuning and that she was Zhou Tian's fiancée. The corners of her mouth suddenly raised slightly, and she immediately changed her tone: "You two, please step aside. Since you are Mr. Zhou's fiancée, of course it will be me."
It’s best to take it there in person!”
Upon hearing this, the guards hurriedly bowed and retreated, while Xia Shuning nodded without thinking too much: "I didn't expect the little princess of the City of Demons to be so handsome and cute, with a pitiable look."
He Zhiyan pursed his lips and smiled, looked at her appearance, and thought to himself: Humph, Zhou Tian actually found such a thing, she is really innocent.
"Looks like I should call you sister, you should be many years younger than me!" He Zhiyan deliberately approached her, hoping to make Xia Shuning relax her vigilance. The two of them talked and laughed with each other and walked away for an unknown amount of time.
Originally, the city gate was less than half an hour away from the city lord's palace, but now it was more than an hour away. Xia Shuning suddenly noticed something and looked around. Just now, there were many people on the street, but now the people passing by suddenly changed.
few.
"Sister Zhiyan, where is this place? Why is it different from the scene just now? Are we arriving soon?" Xia Shuning asked politely, but He Zhiyan's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes became dull.
This made Xia Shuning a little confused and moved a little away from He Zhiyan.
"Oh, the City Lord's Mansion is just ahead. Sister Shu Ning, don't be anxious!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers walked out from the front. Although they were women, the weapons they held were different from those held by the guards just now.
"Princess Princess!"
Xia Shuning looked carefully and saw that there were three or four soldiers, and their attitude towards He Zhiyan was also different.
"yes!"
Before Xia Shuning could react, three or four soldiers rushed forward and surrounded Xia Shuning. Their eyes were very sharp and they raised their weapons, ready to fight her.
Xia Shuning's first thought was that He Zhiyan had made a mistake, so she quickly said: "Sister Zhiyan, I am indeed Zhou Tian's fiancée. Are you doing this to doubt my identity?"
He Zhiyan laughed loudly after hearing this, walked behind the soldier and took a closer look: "Sister Shu Ning, how could I doubt your identity? It was your identity that gave me the opportunity to attack Zhou Tian.
Tian and his brothers are not afraid of death, not to mention that Zhou Tian has now become the sustenance of the entire city of Demon, so if I touch him, I am asking for trouble."
"But fate is not as good as fate. I didn't expect that his fiancée would come to the city on her own initiative. This time I am not afraid that he will not obey Zhou Tian!"
Xia Shuning never expected that this princess would have such deep hatred for Zhou Tian, so she also changed her rhetoric, looked at the soldiers around her, and shouted sternly: "Although I am Zhou Tian's fiancée, I am also Hao Hao's wife."
People from Tiange, my father is Haotian Patriarch Wang Bingwu. If you do this, aren't you afraid that Haotian Patriarch will blame you? Don't forget, tomorrow my father will launch a general attack on the City of Demon. You'd better put me to death.
Let me go and let me find Zhou Tian, otherwise I will lose a hair and my father will never let you go!"
Xia Shuning kept roaring, then took out a short sword from behind and prepared to break out.
But after He Zhiyan heard what she said, he was even more happy: "That couldn't be better. Everyone in Xihuan knows that Patriarch Haotian has found his long-lost daughter. Now,
His younger brother died at the hands of Zhou Tian, and now the daughter he finally found is in the hands of He Zhicheng. Do you think your father dares to attack at will? Isn't he afraid that his daughter who has just been reunited will die because of his impulse?
In the city?"
"I used you to deal with Haotian Pavilion, and I was able to control Zhou Tian. I killed two birds with one stone. God favored me and gave me such a good opportunity!"
After that, He Zhiyan gave an order, and all the soldiers slowly moved closer to Xia Shuning. Although Xia Shuning was not very advanced in Kung Fu, she was still a Qi cultivator anyway, and was more than enough to deal with these soldiers, so she only used
With only 20% of his strength, he beat these soldiers to the ground one after another.
Xia Shuning's behavior obviously shocked He Zhiyan. She never expected that the sister in front of her was actually a Qi cultivator, and her skills were so powerful.
Just when she was hesitant, Xia Shuning turned around and was about to run away. He Zhiyan hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and pulled her back forcefully!
Originally, He Zhiyan didn't want to take action, but now, she had no choice but to fight against it. He Zhiyan's skills and cultivation were strictly forbidden by her mother. Many years ago, the elders taught her the skills.
However, she relied on her own skills to bully others everywhere, and eventually killed many people. When his mother found out, she told the elders and her viciously that she would not be able to practice any skills in the future, let alone practice.
Therefore, He Zhiyan only showed a little bit of the skills he had learned over the years, and he had to pretend in front of his mother that these skills were just those he learned when he was a child and had not made any progress, so that her mother could relax her vigilance.
Xia Shuning kicked He Zhiyan's hand away, and once again acted as if she was preparing for a competition: "Little princess, these people around you thought you were so powerful, but you didn't expect them to be so vulnerable!"
She looked up at the blue sky and smiled: "Little princess, I advise you to take me to find Zhou Tian. I will pretend that what happened today has never happened. Otherwise! The consequences later will be all up to you.
bear!"
He Zhiyan glanced at her and murmured in a low voice: "I don't know who will win, but this rampant energy is quite similar to Zhou Tian's!"
Then, she narrowed her eyes and said to Xia Shuning: "Now you are the only one who is the life-saving straw for our city of demons. You want me to give up and take you to see your fiancé? What a wishful dream!"
After that, He Zhiyan touched behind him. Since both of them had long braids and their weapons were behind them, neither of them noticed it before. However, He Zhiyan's sword was indeed long and thin, and
Under the sunlight, it looks particularly crystal clear.
The two of them immediately became tense, and the fight between the two was about to begin.
At this time, outside the City Lord's Mansion, several people suddenly came and knocked on the door of the City Lord's Mansion. Upon seeing this, the guards wanted them to leave, but no matter how hard they tried to persuade them, it didn't work!
They were holding a variety of fruits and vegetables in their hands, and they were making a lot of noise, and the loudest voice among them was asking when Mr. Zhou Tian will get married and whether the wedding will be held in the city.
This made the guards guarding the door a little confused.
"What's going on? Why is it so noisy? Zhou Tian is still resting in the house, so we can't be quiet!"
The city lord heard the sound and hurried out, because now the soldiers and guards in the mansion were gathered in the lobby, and there were other soldiers who had not arrived. The city lord did not want the people to know one or two of them and cause unnecessary panic.
So I hurriedly went out in person to see what was going on.
An old man with white beard saw that it was the city lord and quickly took a few steps forward: "Mr. City lord, I heard that Zhou Tian's wife has come to the city. Is she in the house? We are here to send blessings. I hope Mr. Zhou Tian
We can hold a wedding in the City of Demon!"
After hearing this, the city lord was very surprised. She was confused and asked the guards around her without knowing anything: "What's going on? What's getting married? What's happening to my unmarried wife?"
The guard shook his head: "Reporting to the city lord, I don't know. These people just suddenly gathered at the gate of the mansion. I don't know what happened. If the city lord hadn't asked, we would have been kept in the dark..."
