Chapter Five hundred seventy-eight Lord of Ling City
Three uninvited guests came to Lingcheng today.
And their purpose seemed to be very clear. They didn't stop anywhere at all and walked directly towards the location of the City Lord's Mansion.
Lingcheng is one of the important cities in Cangzhou. The city gates are open to the east, west, south and north, and there is an endless stream of merchants, merchants and cultivators coming and going within it.
In such a city, even if Ana Shen and the others suddenly appeared, they would not attract anyone's attention at all.
"Xu Lian, is it really okay for you to do this?" Looking at the cultivators and traffickers walking around in the street, Ana Shen couldn't help but lowered her voice slightly and said.[
"What are you worried about?" Xu Liang said without looking back. "Are you worried that the city lord of Yushu City will notify the Yun family because of Yun Lanling's disappearance, or are you worried that our identities will be exposed?"
"Lan Ling has taken the Yi Rong Dan now. If she doesn't speak, even I won't be able to tell the truth from the lies, so naturally I'm worried about the latter." Shen Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly as she spoke.
"If you take that token and pretend to be the inspector of the Su Dynasty, will it really not be discovered?" It's not surprising that Ana Shen was worried. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that this matter was indeed a little too unreliable.
"As long as you don't chatter like you are now, I guarantee that within half an hour, we will be able to reach the boundary of Yanzhou with the help of Lingcheng's teleportation array."
Xu Lian's pupils shrank slightly, and then he made a decisive decision.
Lan Ling wisely did not interrupt. She had been influenced by a big family like the Yun family since she was a child, so her whole body, gestures, and words had the temperament she had cultivated since childhood.
The voice she spoke when she spoke was very different from the ordinary appearance she showed at this time. Although it was unlikely that anyone would care about this for some reason, Lan Ling still chose the safest method. , try to make your performance as ordinary as possible.
Otherwise, once the people of the Yun family find out, not only will she be taken back to the Yun family to marry that notorious man, but Shen Yan and Shen Yan will also be affected.
"Okay, if you say so..." Ana Shen nodded reluctantly. Although he always felt that something was wrong, it seemed that Xu Lian had no need to deceive him.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he pretended to spit on the ground with an unhappy look on his face.
"Bah bah...who wants to imitate the tone of a monster like you?"
Xu Lian didn't seem to see his movements at all, or in other words, he didn't care if he did.
As a result, Ana Shen had no choice but to stop speaking angrily, and there was silence between the three of them again, each moving forward with their own thoughts.
For about half a moment, a faint light finally flashed across Xu Lian's calm eyes.
At this time, Shen Yan also saw the direction where Xu Lian was looking, the majestic mansion. Even without looking at the plaque, the three of them already had the answer in their hearts just by looking at the majesty of the mansion.
After all, Lingcheng was an important city in the Su Dynasty, and even the city lord's magnanimity was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Because there was only one guard guarding the huge palace gate. Rather than any other reason, it was better to say that the Lord of Ling City was very confident and did not worry about anyone daring to break into this place without permission.
In fact, this is not the confidence of the Lord of Lingcheng, but a necessity. Who dares to break into the palace of the Lord of Cangzhou City? At least in the past few decades, no one has heard such rumors. .
"Remember what I said to you before." Xu Lian whispered this to Ana Shen, while raising his legs and walking towards the majestic City Lord's Mansion.[
It was obvious that Ana Shen did not understand what he meant in an instant, but he still followed Lan Ling.
Just after taking a few steps, Ana Shen's eyes suddenly showed a hint of confusion. Xu Lian must have been referring to what he had been told not to talk about in the future.
(Xu Lian was holding the token, and he definitely wanted to pretend to be the inspector of the Su Dynasty...so his intention was to ask me to look like a guard?)
Shen Yan thought he was right and got an answer that was very close to the truth, so a trace of helplessness flashed across his eyes, but he also regained the awe and determination of his previous life.
Lan Ling was very close to him, so she felt it most clearly. The moment Shen Yan's momentum changed, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
But at this time, the three of them had already reached the door of the City Lord's Mansion, so Lan Ling could only bury the question in her heart, but she glanced at Ana Shen's side face with great palpitations.
From that face, all she saw was sharpness and indifference.
"This is an important place in Lingcheng," the guard saw the three of them from a distance. When Xu Lian stepped onto the steps outside the city lord's palace, he finally couldn't help but shouted.
However, there was clearly a hint of strength in the voice but dryness in the middle.
Even though the three of them showed the slightest aura, the calmness on the face of the man in green clothes and the terrifying aura of the man in gray clothes behind him made the guard couldn't help but feel frightened.
Being able to force himself to question the previous sentence is already considered a sufficient fulfillment of his duties.
Xu Lian glanced at him coldly, then raised his hand, and a green-grey bronze token appeared in his hand.
"Give Way."
The guard didn't know what this token represented, but his eyes looked at the word "Su" carved on it with extreme horror.
Su of Su, Su of Su Dynasty.
The emperor was close to the emperor, and this alone made the guard dare not stop him again, even if the Lord of Lingcheng was behind him. Therefore, the guard hurriedly moved to the side to avoid the body. Because he retreated too quickly, he was almost in danger. He stumbled a little and fell to the ground.
Xu Lian waved his sleeves, but the token in his hand was put away again, and then he walked straight into the city lord's palace with a arrogant attitude, as if his head was on the back of his head.
Although Ana Shen gritted his teeth secretly as he looked at Xu Lian's back, he could only sigh secretly. Talking about this ability of pretending to be magical, I am afraid that no one can match the latter.
Fortunately, he still remembered Xu Lian's previous words, so he did not speak, but followed closely like an iron tower. Although Lan Ling had too many changes on his face, in fact, he was already "chaotic" in his heart. pole.
She had thought that Xu Lian and Shen Yan were so courageous... Although she didn't know where the token came from, she didn't think it was what they wanted.
Otherwise, as long as the identity of the inspector of the Su Dynasty is revealed in Yushu City, who in the entire Yushu City family will not serve them sincerely?
So using this token at this moment is to pretend to be a close official of the emperor. This crime is simply defying the disdain of the world. Once discovered, it can be said that he is completely on the opposite side of the Su Dynasty...[
No matter how hard Lan Ling thought, she couldn't guess why Ana Shen and the two were so bold.
Fortunately, she also grew up in a first-class wealthy family and has seen a lot of things. Otherwise, she would have looked horrified on the spot. How could she be like this now, with her heart pounding on the inside but pretending on the outside? Make a calm appearance.
Yes, it is indeed a pretense of calmness. Because as long as someone observes carefully, they can detect the fine beads of sweat seeping out of Lan Ling's neck, forehead, and palms.
Xu Lian's calmness is a real calmness, calmness that does not take anything in the world into consideration. No matter who makes insinuations or tests, don't try to make him show even the slightest trace of panic. .
That's why Ana Shen feels that Xu Lian's ability to play tricks is truly the best in the world. At least the image of the snowy sky collapsing in front of him without changing his demeanor is second to none in Kyushu.
The awe-inspiring expression that Ana Shen has now is actually the cold and arrogant attitude he displayed in front of others in his previous life.
However, he could be said to be extremely bold, or he simply had Ling Cheng in his sights.
The world is different after entering the upper realm. In Shen Yan's eyes, the only people in this world who can change his facial expression are those from the third level of the upper realm and beyond, pretending to be a mere inspector of the Su Dynasty, and really calculating Nothing to make a fuss about.
Shen Yan and the others actually didn't go very far because the city lord's mansion was so big and there were countless servants and maids in it.
Even if no one dares to stop them, at least someone will report them.
So I just walked along the bluestone floor of the house for a short distance, and then I heard the crisp sound of shoes stepping quickly on the wooden board not far from the front.
Hearing this voice, Xu Lian fortunately stopped walking forward and stopped on the spot, showing a faint smile. Even Shen Yan, no one knew about him. What exactly are you thinking about?
"I am the Lord of Lingcheng, Shi Qianye." The person who turned from the passage in front and walked up to the three of them was a middle-aged man with a dark beard and gray hair. His voice was a little solemn. , at least when he saw the indifference in the eyes of the man in green in front of him, he knew that he was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
"I am Xu Lian." Xu Lian's voice was so calm and gentle.
Ana Shen shuddered secretly, Xu Lian's level of pretentiousness had definitely reached a level that was difficult for ordinary people to reach. At least these four words alone were filled with a sense of arrogance and extreme self-confidence.
Generally, when introducing yourself to others, you will say "what is my name" or "who am I here?"
After all, if your status and reputation have not reached a certain level, there are so many people with the same name as you in the world, who knows who you are talking about.
If Chang Ruo's status reaches that of the Emperor of the Su Dynasty, then naturally... saying "I am Su Shan Leng" is enough to make anyone moved. So at this moment, Shen Yan felt that Xu Lian was somewhat arrogant and confident. It's too much.
As expected... After Shi Qianye was stunned for a moment, he looked confused, as if he didn't even remember a character named Xu Lian in his memory.
"Excuse my ignorance, I don't know your Excellency..."
When Shi Qianye asked this question, it was obvious that he didn't know who Xu Lian was, but because Xu Lian's aura was so strong, his question was somewhat suspicious.
But Shen Yan, on the other hand, had a hard time enduring it. At least he was laughing secretly.
But the words Xu Lian opened his mouth made his cheek twitch, and then he froze there.
"You don't need to know my identity, you just need to know who the person here today is."
"The reason why I'm here today is for you to activate the Lingcheng teleportation formation and send the two of us back to Yanzhou."
