Chapter 1384 The Strange Palace
Elder Qingmi and the others said that where the bellyband that Miss Ji Xiaoyan stole from the treasure house of Lord Ye Huan went, Brick couldn't figure it out at all! I don’t know where to think about it! After receiving the instruction from the Lord of Yeshan City, Brick immediately led two NPC guards from Qing City, left the Lord's Mansion of Iwachi City, and went directly to the teleportation array outside Iwachi City.
Brick, on the other hand, If he wanted to leave without any guards, he would let the guards of the City Lord's Mansion protect Ji Xiaoyan and the others, but Mr. Qing Gong couldn't. I know when I ordered those guards, and arranged two of them to protect him, a weak alchemist, so that he would not be offended if he encountered some blind adventurers in Iwaike City. After that, it would not delay the return to Qingcheng, so in the end, Brick agreed to take these two NPC guards away!
However, when he reached the gate of Iwachi City, Brick was thankful for the foresight of Chief Qing Gong.
The gate of Iwachi City is closed at the moment, just like what they saw outside the gate. However, there are no adventurers near the city gate at this moment, only a few rows of expressionless Iwachi City guards, standing there upright like statues.
"Everyone, we have been ordered to leave the city and return to Qingcheng." After a guard of the city lord's palace who followed Brick stood still, he stepped in front of Brick and faced the rock formations near the city gates. The Chicheng guard said loudly Said: "Please do it for your convenience and open the city gate for us."
"By order? Whose order?" A guard general who should be the leader glanced at Brick and the others and said directly I rolled my eyes, yes He said impatiently: "This is Iwachi City. Our Iwachi City has regulations. We open the city gate once every three days! It's not time yet. Come back after dawn."
Brick's side City Lord's Mansion Guard Wei frowned and said, "We are under the order of Lord Yeshan. If you want to go back to Qingcheng, please open the door for us."
"Lord Yeshan? Hahaha!" The general guarding the city. He sneered twice.
Brick thought that they had brought out the title of Lord Yeshan with their opening. The guards guarding the city gate would naturally open the city gate and let them leave, just like they It's the same as when you came in!
Unexpectedly, they just sneered twice and looked at them as if they were joking. After a while, they said: "I'm sorry, everyone. Even if you are the Lord Yeshan who said it, you You also need to know something. In our Panchi City, there is not only one city lord, Lord Yeshan! We, Lord Yeshan, have not agreed to let you out of the city, so we don’t dare to do so. You opened the city gate. If you must go out now, you should go to the Lord of the City and obtain his permission before coming back; if the Lord of the City does not agree."
The general guarding the gate said sarcastically. After looking at Brick and the others, he chuckled twice and continued: "Then you have to wait in our Iwachi City and come back tomorrow to go out of the city with the adventurers. "
The guards of the city lord's palace who were following Brick looked at the city guard general angrily for a moment. After a while, he held his breath and said to them: "What do you mean? , City Lord Yeshan doesn’t agree to let us leave the city?”
“Didn’t you understand clearly?” The general looked at the guards beside Brick with a mocking look. After smiling at him, he waved his hands impatiently towards them and continued: "Okay, okay, don't block it here. If you want to leave, go find the Lord of the City. If you don’t want to leave, go back to where you are.”
The guard of the City Lord’s Mansion suppressed his blush, and after a while, he turned to look at Brick. Ask him what to do.
"Since we're looking for the Lord of the City, let's go." Brick didn't expect that he would be able to return to Qingcheng very easily, but in the end, such complications would arise in the middle. If he was really asked to wait until the next day to leave, Brick couldn't wait! After all, they had met the Lord of the City when they first entered Panchi City. It seemed that the Lord of the City was a good man. If they came to find him, they would definitely be allowed to leave the city.
Thinking of this, Brick immediately took the two guards of the City Lord's Mansion and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion to find City Lord Eryan.
At this moment, the city gate guard general looked at Brick and the others. After sneering for a while, he whispered to the guards next to him: "These people from Qing City really think that we are in Iwachi City." Isn’t it City Lord Yeshan’s territory? Haha, he wanted to take over our Lord’s position. It’s a pity that Lord Yeshan killed so many people. His voice has been broken for a long time, who still believes him? Even if he wants to defend himself, he is powerless in the face of the facts. Fighting with our Lord City Lord."
"The character of Lord Yeshan is also quite stubborn. The guard next to the general at the city gate smiled, and then said: "Our Lord, the Lord of the City, has figured out the temper of Lord Yeshan, so after so many years, His plan can develop like this. Otherwise, City Lord Yeshan may really take down our Lord City Lord.”
“Huh, that’s not necessarily the case! Even if it’s forceful, our Lord City Lord is not afraid of Lord Yeshan. "Yes!" the gatekeeper general said with some disapproval, then waved his hand, sighed and said: "Forget it, don't talk about this. Let’s not talk about this anymore! It’s ridiculous for me to think about these people from Qingcheng. They really think that our Iwachi City is dominated by the Lord of Yeshan City. Hahaha, I wonder if they were thinking about it when they came in. , Lord Ye Huan personally brought people to open the door for them. Now you think we can open the door for them with just a word? "
"They are too naive." The guards nearby laughed a few times and watched Brick and the others disappear with far-reaching eyes. Then they stopped talking and continued to do what they should do at the city gate. Went
But at this moment, Brick and the others had no idea that this Iwachi City was actually far deeper than the water they saw and imagined.
Back to Iwachi City again At the City Lord's Mansion in Chicheng, Brick even had the urge to go back to Miss Ji Xiaoyan and Manager Qing Gong first, and tell Ji Xiaoyan and the others what they encountered at the gate of the city. But then he thought about it, maybe Now City Lord Yeshan is still angry with Ji Xiaoyan and the others. If he leaves now, what if City Lord Yeshan gets angry or something and prevents him from returning to Qingcheng to find Ji Xiaoyan's bellyband? What will he do? So, taking this into consideration, Brick quickly took the two guards of the city lord's palace and went straight to the palace where the ** City Lord took them to find the ** City Lord!
However, when we arrived at the entrance of the palace, it looked very desolate at first, and we didn’t see any guards at all. However, now it is unusually solemn, with various guards and maids standing at the entrance. It looks quite a bit strange. Do not let strangers enter
"Who are you? This is the palace of the city lord. Anyone who has no business must leave quickly!" A guard spotted Brick and the others and immediately stood up and shouted at them. He said, quite looking like he was going to drive them away immediately.
"We are from Qingcheng." Brick thought for a moment and then said: "Our Lord, the Lord of the City, forgot something in Qingcheng, so he asked us to go back and get it. We are here to seek permission from the Lord of the City, so that we can leave the city. ."
"Leave the city?" The guard narrowed his eyes and looked at Brick and the others. , said calmly: "Our Panchi City only opens the city gate once every three days. This matter was jointly agreed upon by our Lord Eshan and Lord Yeshan. If you want to leave the city now, do you have the consent of Lord Yeshan? "Yes, yes!" Brick nodded quickly and said to the guard, "Ye." The Lord of the City has already agreed, but we just went to the city gate, and they said they still need the permission of the Lord of the City! So we are back."
The guards rolled their eyes when they heard this! I couldn't help but turn around, then I put on a very polite smile and said to Brick and the others. Said: "In this case, everyone just wait here. I will go in and take a look and ask the city lord for you."
"Okay, okay!" Brick said with a look on his face. I was grateful and said something to the guard. After watching him immediately turn around and enter the palace, I breathed a sigh of relief. I believe you will hear back soon!
However, after the two guards of the City Lord's Mansion who were following Brick looked around for a few times, they frowned and looked at each other, stretched out their hands to pull Brick's clothes, and looked at him with doubtful eyes. After walking a few steps further away from the palace, he whispered to Brick: "Lord Brick, is there something wrong here?"
Brick looked surprised and puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"Lord Brick, do you still remember when we and the Lord of the City sent Lord Mo here? "What does this palace look like?"
Brick recalled it, nodded, and looked at the two city lord guards.
They all frowned, looked in the direction of the palace, and then whispered: "We were brought here by City Lord Yeyan. Because we are usually the guards of the City Lord. , naturally I paid attention to the Lord's Mansion of Iwachi City when I came here. As for the guard situation, we clearly remember that when we came here, there were only two ordinary guards at the entrance of the palace. Moreover, the Lord of the City came out of the palace at that time and gave us a feeling that he was sleeping. It feels like the Lord of Yan City is under house arrest"
Brick frowned slightly, it seemed that this was really the case.
However, if the Lord of City Eyan is under house arrest, then what do the guards at the city gate mean? He is not smart, but he is not stupid either! When the guards on the other side of the city gate were talking, their attitudes towards City Lord Ye Huan and City Lord E Huan were different! To be more precise, Brick felt that the people they had just met should be City Lord Boshan's men. However, if the people guarding the city gate were City Lord Boshan's men, how could City Lord Boshan be captured by Ye Ye? The Lord of Yan City was placed under house arrest?
This person from Panchi City Two Lords of the City, what is going on?
The guards of the City Lord's Mansion carefully looked in the direction of the palace, and then continued: "We always thought that this Iwachi City was said by the Lord of Yeshan. Forget it, he is alone! But Lord Brick, We have just been to the city gate. You should have heard the meaning of the words of the guards! Each of their words can reveal a message. They are the people of City Lord Yeshan. If they don't listen to the words of City Lord Yeshan, I still can’t see the City Lord Yeyan! But, you gave the City Lord the money back then! Judging from the information that the Lord has said, this Iwachi City should be decided by the Lord Yeshan alone. In fact, with the bloody methods of the Lord Yeshan, this Iwachi City should have been in his pocket a long time ago."
Hearing this, Brick couldn't help but frowned. That was indeed what Elder Qingmi and Yu Mo told him back then! ! Elder Qingya even said that he had seen it with his own eyes several times when the Lord of Yeshan City killed people indiscriminately when he was in a bad mood. How could it possibly be wrong?
The guards at the City Lord's Palace didn't know what Brick was thinking at this moment, but after pausing for a few seconds, he continued: "Lord Brick, look at this palace now. We followed the Lord Yeshan here. At that time, there were only two guards, and it looked absolutely desolate. However, now Are you here? There are so many guards and maids, this doesn’t look like a pomp for a city lord without power."
"Could it be that these people are sent by the city lord Yeshan to monitor you? The Lord of the City?" Brick blurted out this sentence, and he didn't even believe it after he said it! ! The guard's attitude just now couldn't possibly be from the Lord of Yeshan City! !
The guards of the City Lord's Mansion probably also saw the expression of disbelief on Brick's face. After sighing immediately, they said to him: "We also thought that way at the beginning. But, Lord Brick, the guard who spoke to us did not reveal such a message either in his manner of speaking or in his attitude towards the Lord of the City! I believe you can see this too!"
Brick was silent and did not speak.
"Moreover, we also took a closer look. The attitude and gaze of the maids and guards around us did not seem to be to monitor the Lord of the City. They are the people of the Lord of the City!" The guard whispered to Brick, "Then, now comes the question! Lord Brick, why are there such strange things happening here, the Lord of the City, let's not worry about it for now. We We came to Qingcheng to save Master Yu Mo, but now Master Yu Mo is in the palace of City Lord Eyan, and none of us know what happened to him! And the guards at the city gate don't seem to want us to leave. , do we need to continue to wait here for the consent of the City Lord, or should we go to the City Lord and Manager Qing Gong and tell them about this matter?"
PS: Thanks to "Yi Family" for the peace charm!
