Chapter 82: Lord (please order first!)
The sudden appearance of City Lord Liu was still amiable, but his voice sounded like an urging Sanskrit to You Su.
You Su felt that everything was silent except for the sound of his heartbeat. Just like when he saw Zhenren Ling for the first time, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.
Too many coincidences are disgusting, just like the resin between broken mirrors, forcing the lenses that cannot be put together together.
The city residents respected City Lord Liu too much for his sixty years of dedicated service. His image as a good old man was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. No one would doubt a kind old man who was in his dying years.
But You Su is different. You Su is blind. His lack of sense of security makes him only willing to unconditionally trust the people around him. He is always suspicious of others.
Although there are reasonable explanations for everything City Lord Liu did, You Su just felt uncomfortable.
The three of them went out of the city together and only City Master Liu came back. After returning, he did not expose himself and hid in the dark in order to find the so-called mole, and only Sect Leader Bai knew about it. And Sect Master Bai suddenly came up with a formation that would seal the fog, but it would be at the expense of blocking the exit. If he had a formation, why didn't he use it earlier?
There is also the abandoned Ping An Cave. When my junior sister and I came out from there, we didn’t think there was any problem with the corridors and caves, and we also specially built walls on the corridors leading to various places, as if For fear that when a disaster occurs, someone will run to Ping An Cave instead of Jixiang Cave.
Even if there is really a problem with Ping'an Cave, instead of digging a new one under the City Lord's Mansion, why not repair it in the original place? Save money and effort.
Uncle Liu said it was an abandoned Ping An Cave by his grandfathers. Counting the time... it was fifty or sixty years ago! It was also the period when City Lord Liu took office!
You Su looked back unnaturally at the quaint City Lord's Mansion, and felt that he could even see its faint evil aura in the turbid field of vision. It made him feel as if he was back fighting against Master Ling. That night.
A chill condensed from the soles of his feet upwards, You Su pretended to be calm and said:
"Is it City Lord Liu?"
"Silly boy, have you forgotten my voice? Outside It's not safe. Please lead your junior sister into the cave as soon as possible. Zhou Li can't find you and is in a hurry." City Master Liu smiled warmly, and anyone who saw him would think he was an old man who cared about his younger generation.
"Go into the cave..." You Su muttered, feeling a little distracted.
What is the purpose of Lord Yanagi in bringing everyone together...
Kamiki Izumo! City Lord Liu definitely has this purpose too!
A bolder guess took shape in You Su's mind... Everyone in the entire auspicious cave is a kind of sacrifice!
The name is auspicious cave, but it is probably not auspicious!
"Yes, what, you don't want to go?" City Lord Liu looked stunned, interrupting You Su's contemplation, his eyes dark.
You Su was also startled, and suddenly lowered his head and sighed:
"City Master Liu doesn't know something. My master's wife is still missing. Master entrusted me to take care of her before she left. She, Yu Su really feels guilty and can’t sit still because she can’t find her at this time..."
"Hey, there are so many separations of relatives and friends happening in this city, and your master wife will definitely not be able to find her. I hope you will risk your life to find her. Come with me without delay."
After saying this, City Master Liu greeted me twice, turned around and walked half a step. Seeing that You Su didn't move for a while, he couldn't help but turn around. Looking at this overly upright young man, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said:
"Do you still have to look for her outside?"
You Su did not speak, but nodded to express himself. determination.
"You Su, regardless of whether you can find her or not, are you confident that you can survive outside with her after you find her?"
"Even if you die, your family will survive. "We should die together." "Jixiang Cave will be inaccessible for a short period of time. If you don't enter now, you won't be able to enter again."
"You Su and junior sister, we just want peace of mind." You Su bowed his head and saluted.
"I understand your decision." City Lord Liu nodded, "You can take care of yourself."
"Thank you, City Lord Liu." You Su wanted to take Ji Lingruo away from this place. A restless place.
“Wait a minute.” City Lord Liu suddenly stopped You Su.
You Su was stunned for a moment, his heart beating violently: "City Master Liu, is there anything else?"
"It's not easy to find people, bring more rations." City Master Liu took out a piece of food from his arms and used it. He weighed the dried meat wrapped in oil paper in his hands, and then threw it to You Su, "Catch it."
You Su felt calm for a moment, he thought that City Lord Liu would not let go so easily. They left, and it seemed that City Lord Liu didn't see any clues.
The dried meat drew a beautiful arc in the air, but due to the fog's hindering effect on the consciousness, You Su had to concentrate on the trajectory of the dried meat in order to prevent it from falling to the ground.
But just when he was about to catch the jerky, what was faster than the jerky was thrown was an extremely insidious finger sword!
By the time You Su noticed it, it was already too late to dodge, and he could only tighten the Xuan Qi in his body to resist the gang energy. But how could his impromptu reaction compare to City Lord Liu's long-planned plan? This aura easily penetrated You Su's defense. You Su couldn't stop himself at all, and was knocked away and hit the City Lord. on the wall of the house.
Large pieces of broken wall fell down and piled up on You Su's body, seeming to bury him.
Ji Lingruo hurriedly ran to lift the bricks for him, and You Su also gasped and struggled out. There was a flesh hole as wide as a thumb on his right shoulder, and the dark red blood stained his black shirt. concentrated.
“You can avoid this, you blind man is really capable.”
City Lord Liu came pacing, strolling in the courtyard, like a cat seeing a lame mouse, his face filled with tears. They all look like they have a winning chance.
You Su stood up and put his hand on the hilt of the sword: "Lord Liu, what do you mean?"
"It's too dangerous for you to be outside. Your master entrusted me with this. , let me take care of you, I can’t watch you die outside,” City Lord Liu said in a high-sounding voice.
"Has City Lord Liu always been so good at telling jokes?" You Su covered the bleeding wound with his hand, his eyebrows cold.
“This is not a joke, this is to fulfill the commission of an old friend.”
“But my master has never regarded the city lord as a friend. I remember him telling me that this incident Among all the people in Yun City, only City Master Liu should not have a close relationship with him. He is a very sinister rat."
City Master Liu's face froze, as if he had remembered some bad memory. He stopped moving forward, and his sleeves were puffed up by the Xuan Qi escaping from his body. He raised his right hand again, and the Xuan Qi in his hand condensed into Gang Qi, and he aimed it at You Su:
"If it were before, you could go wherever you wanted. But so many people died this morning, and everyone's life is extremely important. Izumo City can no longer bear more deaths. So as long as you don't die, I will Take you back. You must go back.”
