Chapter 897 Humph!
Speaking of which, it took a lot of hard work for Lord Qingwan and his party to return to Qingcheng smoothly and safely.
Counting from the time Lord Qingwan escaped from Qingcheng, this Lord has not returned to Qingcheng for decades. Although the secret passage sounds like it is only available to the NPCs of the Juli tribe and Lord Qingwan himself. I know, but after so many years, who can guarantee How can those Juli tribes who are "imprisoned" in Qing City not reveal any information or words to them? As the former subordinates of the Lord of Qingwan City, those Juli tribes in Qing City feed the Juli tribes in the secret passage so much. Could it be that after all these years, it really has not been discovered, or was it reported by the residents of the city?
This is impossible even if you think about it, right?
So, although it sounded to Ji Xiaoyan and the others that City Lord Qingwan and his party had easily entered Qingcheng without their knowledge, the losses suffered by City Lord Qingwan were not small.
There is only one real big exit of the secret passage, and it is the one sealed by the Lord of Qingwan City. In other words, if Lord Qingwan wants to return to Qingcheng, he must go out through that exit. Do you think the current city lord in Qing City would let City Lord Qingwan in so easily? It is absolutely impossible not to send a large number of soldiers to guard the place, not to mention that it is still at such a juncture of the siege war. You don't have to think about it to know that the exit of the secret passage must be heavily guarded, plus N number of magicians at any time. He was on standby, and when he saw the head popping up, he would start a group bombardment.
So, the Lord of Qingwan City was actually very depressed.
I thought I could just sneak into Qingcheng from the exit of the secret passage and forget about it in a bit of a mess. Who knows, when I poked my head in, what greeted Qingwan City Lord and the others was not the fresh air of Qingcheng, but a full of fresh air. At a glance, there were all kinds of brilliant magic attacks, plus a lot of swords, guns and sword shadows. As long as he thought of the scene at that time, City Lord Qingwan couldn't help but Fortunately, if there weren't a few players who wanted to make meritorious deeds and said they were going to help her explore the way, and walked in front of her and helped her suffer such a death, it is estimated that Qingwan City Lord's side would have been directly declared by the system mastermind : Their siege operation failed because the leader of their camp died; or it was the leader of Qingwan City Lord's side. was captured alive, and then the siege operation was declared a failure
Of course, the discovered Qingwan City Lord had no way to climb to Qingcheng from that exit. In the end, on the advice of several Juli tribe NPCs, he After the exit was closed again, an exit large enough for only one person to enter was found at the other end of the secret passage. It was opened by Qingwan City. The Lord, the city lord who still has control over the exit of the secret passage, lifted the seal on the exit, took a group of NPCs from the Juli tribe and a few surviving players, climbed onto the ground of Qingcheng, and then After sneakily changing several hiding spots, the NPCs of the Juli tribe took them to the settlement of the Juli tribe in Qingcheng.
The current settlement of the Juli clan has long been different from the place where the Lord of Qingwan City was.
"Clan leader, why did you move privately?" City Lord Qingwan asked immediately after being invited to a secret room in a house by the leader of the Juli clan. In the view of City Lord Qingwan, if these Juli tribe people dared to move behind her back from the settlement she assigned them, that was an attempt to betray her. In this situation, if people like the Juli clan don't stand on her side, then she will be even more vulnerable.
Therefore, the Lord of Qingwan City immediately attacked the leader of the Juli Clan.
However, as a Juli tribe that has lived under another city lord for so many years, they can still stay in Qingcheng safely without being overly embarrassed, so they must have some tricks! And as the patriarch who leads the entire Juli clan, he is naturally not a vegetarian. His old employer comes to question him, so he is soft, isn't he?
So, after hearing the words of the Lord of Qingwan City, the leader of the Juli Tribe just twitched the corner of his mouth, and then directly greeted a Juli Tribe woman next to the god and said: "I don't think Lord Qingwan City has rushed so many They are all tired from the journey, so hurry up and ask them to bring them food and drinks. Remember, let them have the best food, don’t neglect Lord Qingwan, you know?”
< b r> "I know, I know, don't worry, Patriarch!" The woman from the Juli Clan nodded quickly, said something to the leader of the Juli Clan, then turned her head to look at City Master Qingwan with a smile and said: " Lord Qingwan City, we didn't know you were coming, so we were a little hasty in preparation, but don't mind. I'll bring you food right away." After saying that, the woman from the Juli tribe turned around and left the secret room.
Lord Qingwan frowned, and then looked intently at the leader of the Juli clan. The situation in front of her was different from what she had imagined! When she was in the secret passage, there was nothing strange about the men from the Juli tribe who sent her away. It was just like she imagined. It was as if she was their savior, just like when she fell from the sky and saved their entire Juli tribe. It was the same as before, the way they looked at her was like God, everything.
However, from the moment he landed on the ground, City Lord Qingwan felt that something was wrong. Those Juli men who had not been on the ground for so many years and were locked in the secret passage did not thank her immediately. It was okay to thank her. She could understand the excitement. However, after returning to the settlement of the Juli tribe, Lord Qingwan felt that something was wrong in his heart even more deeply. Logically speaking, after her old master, who had not shown up for decades, appeared, the people of the Juli tribe should be extremely excited to worship her and cheer her. But who knows, in these scenes, all the Qingwan City Lords were shocked. Not seen.
In fact, the men and women of the Juli clan did not treat her with the same respect and awe as before, and even their names changed! Who dared to call her Qingwan before? Those are clearly called "Lord City Lord" and "Lord City Lord" one by one.
Thinking of this, City Lord Qingwan's heart felt a little heavy.
"Here it comes, here it comes, the food is here!" The Lord of Qingwan City was thinking about the attitude of the leader of the Juli Tribe towards her with a sullen face. The Juli Tribe woman who had just left the secret room to get food not long ago was very big. He entered the secret room with a loud voice, holding several plates of food in his hand, and slapped them on the table in front of City Lord Qingwan. On a table, he then said to her with a wide smile: "Lord Qingwan City, I brought some food. You should eat something to fill your stomach quickly!!"
City Lord Qingwan was a little angry. He looked at the Juli tribe woman and was about to scold her for being so loud and for her attitude. When Du was obviously disrespectful, the patriarch of the Juli clan next to him immediately spoke: "Yes, Lord Qingwan City, you have been tired for such a long time. Eat something quickly and replenish it! We will I won’t disturb you anymore. If you have any questions, we’ll talk about it later. Lord Wan City, if you need anything, just shout loudly, we will try our best to satisfy you!" After saying that, the leader of the Juli Clan did not wait for City Master Qingwan to say anything, and directly moved towards the woman of the Juli Clan. With a glance, the two of them disappeared into the secret room at extremely fast speeds.
“Damn it!” City Lord Qingwan glanced at the door of the secret room with a gloomy expression and said in a low voice. Then he took a deep breath, put on a warm smile again, and said to the players behind him: "Everyone, I think you are also hungry. Come and have something to eat together."
"Really? Then I have to thank the Lord of the City!" Upon hearing this, a player immediately said excitedly to the Lord of Qingwan, and then pulled the two players around him, not showing any politeness at all. , sat down next to the Lord of Qingwan City, put a piece of dish into his mouth, and then said to the other players in surprise: "Everyone, come quickly, this dish tastes quite good. Here."
The corners of Qingwan City's mouth twitched as she watched the players smile at her one by one and then began to feast on the table unceremoniously, feeling uncomfortable in her heart. But there was no other way. How did she know that in the past, when she asked these players to eat, they would politely say no and then go find food on their own, but now they sat at the same table with her completely unceremoniously and were quite agitated. It's like grabbing food.
Could it be said that her momentum has deteriorated since she returned to Qingcheng? So even the adventurers in front of her dared to be reckless with her? Thinking of this, City Lord Qingwan instantly felt a little overwhelmed. You said that if she even loses the support of the adventurers, how will she get Qingcheng back? Could it be that she had to give up Qing City to the mage who robbed her city, or the deputy city lord of Sha City?
City Lord Qingwan squinted her eyes, chewed the food in her mouth twice, then sneered, and then looked at the players sitting around her. Thinking about it, finding an adventurer to go to the mage city lord and reveal the news about the deputy city lord of Sha City and his current trends should give her more opportunities! Wouldn't it be more perfect if the mage city lord could fight with the deputy city lord of Sha city again and have no time to take care of her?
Thinking of this, City Master Qingwan couldn't help but feel a little better. After she regains power and takes back Qingcheng, huh, then she will deal with the Juli people and let them know, know, offend. What are the consequences of her Qingwan! Perhaps they had completely forgotten that their sacred artifacts were still locked in her treasure house after all these years, right? That treasure house cannot be opened without the seal of the real city lord! ! That mage city lord is still not the real lord of Qingcheng City
