After leaving the City Lord's Mansion.
Ye Lingyue, Di Xin and the others were all thoughtful.
"I'm so pissed off. It was that person who took Senior Brother Xiao Chuan away just now. After a while, why did he turn his face and deny anyone? You said Senior Brother Xiao Chuan won't be harmed by them, right?"
Huang Jun sullenly.
"50,000 spirit stones is not a small amount, and the man was indeed captured by the city lord's mansion. They categorically deny it right now. There are only two possibilities." After all, Senior Sister Wan Yun was experienced, and she began to analyze.
"That's right, the steward looks like a greedy person. To make him give up such a big benefit means that there is a greater benefit, or there are orders behind him, so he has no choice but to give up the spirit stone. Today's City of Gold is still Who can make the steward bow his head." Di Xin asked Huang Jun back.
"Don't play dumb riddles with me one by one, you know I'm not good at thinking, and you all fool me," Huang Jun was anxious.
"There can only be two people, one is the city lord of the city of gold, but the city lord basically ignores things now, so there is only one other person left, that is the staff member of the city lord's mansion." Ye Lingyue saw that Huang Jun was really anxious, this time Only then did he open his mouth to explain.
"Then what should we do? Otherwise, if we sneak into the city lord's mansion tonight, and if we drag it on, Senior Brother Xiaochuan's life will really be lost. He did this shit for me, I can't let him die Help," Huang Jun said anxiously.
"How could it be that simple, the surroundings of the City Lord's Mansion are heavily guarded."
When Emperor Xin was just outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, he took a careful look around.
It was found that with the exception of the City Lord's Mansion, heavy soldiers were ambushed.
Emperor Xin can be sure that if they don't leave in time just now, if they really want to start a fight with the people of the City Lord's Mansion, they are afraid that something bad will happen in all likelihood.
After all, this is still on the territory of the City of Gold, and it is difficult for a strong dragon to defeat a local snake.
What made Emperor Xin most taboo was that for some reason, although those ambushers had strong energy fluctuations all over their bodies, and all of them had extraordinary skills, they didn't breathe.
I don't know if those people are hiding their aura, or if those masters who are lurking in the dark are not human at all.
In a similar situation, Ye Lingyue, who had greatly increased mental power, also noticed it.
"This won't work, and that won't work. If it's going to happen, we'll just sit and wait," Huang Jun was annoyed.
The four of them were silent and returned to the inn together.
When the owner of the inn saw the four of them, he still looked terrified, for fear that Ye Lingyue and others would take revenge on him because of Qin Xiaochuan's matter.
"boss."
Ye Lingyue snorted.
The boss grunted in fright and wanted to hide under the counter.
Unexpectedly, Di Xin was faster than him, he reached out with his long arms, and picked up the shopkeeper like a little chicken.
In front of the tall emperor, the shopkeeper was half suspended in the air like a child.
"I'm going to wash my wife and ask you something."
"My lords, please spare your lives. The younger ones have the younger ones and the older ones, and there is no other way. If you don't report it, the people of the City Lord's Mansion will kill the younger ones and the whole family."
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he trembled all over.
"I'm not pursuing you. I want to ask you something about the City of Gold. Let me ask you, have any strange things happened in the City of Gold in the past six months."
Ye Lingyue glanced at the shopkeeper.
"No, it's all right."
The shopkeeper thought about it, but couldn't think of a reason.
"You'd better think about it again, or you'll end up with this thing."
Senior Sister Wan Yun held the Heavenly Wolf stick in her hand, and tapped the end of the stick on the counter, suddenly there was a pause, and with a bang, the counter that was made of hard stone was smashed to pieces.
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he couldn't even speak.
He looked at Senior Sister Wanyun's stick, and suddenly remembered something.
"Guest officer, I don't know what's unusual in the city, but I just remembered something. I've seen the stick in your hand before."
Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Di Xin let go of his hand, so that the shopkeeper could take a breather and speak properly.
"You have seen this stick, where it is, and who is holding it, so don't misread it."
It was only then that everyone remembered that they had been searching for clues in the city that Zhao Tianlang had come here half a year ago, and they had asked everywhere, but they had forgotten to ask the owner of this inn.
"The little one has indeed seen it. It was about six months ago. At that time, it was already before and after the lanterns were held. Several people came to lodge. One of the male guests carried this stick on his back. It was the size and there were patterns on it. , the little one will definitely not remember it wrong." In order to save his life, the shopkeeper wanted to tell all he knew and didn't know.
"Do you recognize the person who was with that man?" Senior Sister Wan Yun asked.
"There were three people at that time, one of them was carrying a stick, and the other seemed to be a scribe carrying a piano or something, but neither of those two people was from the City of Gold. But the last person, the little one recognized it. Then The person is Situ Nan from the City Lord's Mansion. It's just that Master Situ was not an aide in the City Lord's Mansion at that time." The shopkeeper thought for a while, and was a little embarrassed, but after all, he was shocked by the emperor's eyes that could kill people, and he hesitated to speak out .
Situ Nan, that alchemist in the city lord's mansion with both alchemists
When the four of them heard this, their eyes darkened, Zhao Tianlang's death had something to do with the City Lord's Mansion.
Unexpectedly, the third person who communicated with Zhao Tianlang was him.
Seeing that the four of them stopped talking, the shopkeeper sneaked away.
"This inn cannot be accommodated. Let's leave first. Tomorrow morning, we will separately inquire about the news about Situ Nan from the City Lord's Mansion."
Senior Sister Wan Yun is the oldest among the four, and the four agreed to follow Senior Sister Wan Yun's command for the time being.
On the second day, the four of them inquired about the news separately in the city.
Around noon, Ye Lingyue, Di Xin, and Senior Sister Wan Yun came back one after another.
But to their disappointment, there was very little information about this Situ Nan. His life experience was unknown, his cultivation was unknown, and apart from his name, there were very few people who had seen him.
The only thing we can know is that he came to the Golden City more than half a year ago in his thirties, and entered the Golden City in the name of treating the city lord's illness.
Another half an hour later, Huang Jun came back.
"I heard some news, but I don't know if it is a news. The thing is like this. This morning, when I was inquiring about the news in the city, I happened to pass by the training ground, which is the place of the Vajra Formation. I heard some newbies , are complaining. What they complain about is nothing more than that since Situ Nan got the City Lord's Mansion and redesigned the new Diamond Formation, very few novices can pass the assessment. In the past six months, those who passed the novice assessment, plus Brother Shang Xiaochuan, there are only thirteen people."
"Wait a minute, Huang Jun, can you find out the list of the other twelve novices who have passed the assessment, except Senior Brother Xiao Chuan?"
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. After Ye Lingyue heard the news, a thought flashed in her mind. She felt that she should have discovered some important clue.
