The demon emperor doesn't want to be a white lotus

The man in white is the lord of Shugeng City, Shen Lue.

As early as when the news of Wu Qing's poisoning first spread, Shen Lue had secretly asked Wu Lianshan for his opinion on this matter, and he always seemed very attentive.

Later Wu Qing died, Senqiu also had various major incidents, Shen Lue appeared so suddenly, not only intervening in Lianshan City's affairs, but also appearing to overwhelm the host.

For this reason, Lin Yan had a fierce fight with one of Shen Lue's subordinates, and it was Wu Bianrou who stopped him later.

"The city lord personally issued an order to let Shen Lue handle all matters in the city on his behalf."

As Lin Yan said, he couldn't help kicking the railing beside him. It could be seen that he had suppressed his anger for a long time, "I just don't understand, Lianshan City has its own manpower, why should it tolerate other people's meddling at will!"

Qingtan let out an "uh", and exchanged a glance with Xuan Chen, "Are you sure the city lord personally gave the order?"

Wu Lianshan hadn't reached the point of being old-fashioned yet, and he shouldn't have committed such a foolishness.

"I know what you are suspicious of." Lin Yan said: "The City Lord is not under the control of others, which the Young City Lord and I can see."

Qingtan was puzzled, was she not under control?Normal people can't tolerate others coming to their own territory to dictate, right?

Lin Yan was also puzzled, but right now he can only do things according to Wu Lianshan's orders. Although he is not very happy to follow behind Shen Lue and listen to others, at least he can feel relieved by participating in it himself.

He had to watch Lianshancheng, lest it be destroyed by those who hadn't even been here before.

"You should go."

Lin Yan was feeling irritable right now, and Qing Tan was obviously not a suitable chat partner.As soon as he raised his head, he saw a face that showed a stupid aura all the time, and his mood would only get worse. "We will take good care of these two children. Your mission is completed. I will send you out of the city."

Qing Tan pouted, to be honest, he was already used to the attitude of the siblings towards him, "I know the way, so I won't bother General Lin."

Lin Yan gave him a blank look: "In special times, Shen Lue's men and horses are all over the streets and alleys of Lianshan City. If you bump into them accidentally, it will not be so easy to get out."

Qingtan watched him turn and leave, feeling a little helpless, put Xuan Chen down and followed him.

Lin Yan did not exaggerate. Unlike when entering the city, the sky will be darkened. At night, the whole Lianshan City seems to change. Red lanterns are hung in front of every house, and there are strange patterns painted on the outside of the lampshade. Looking around Going, no corner was left behind, and red candles illuminated many remote places.

There is a sentry post at a distance in the street. There are soldiers patrolling the adjacent sentry posts. The sound of kicking and trampling is amplified countless times at night. No nearby family has come out to express their dissatisfaction.

A row of soldiers passed by the gate of the Lin Mansion, Qing Tan quickly retracted his head, and leaned against the wall as if to leave after the people walked away, "Can I wait until daytime before going out?"

With this level of vigilance, even with wings, he might not be able to fly out!

Lin Yan ignored him, and after confirming that the patrolling soldiers were far away, he opened the door a crack, stepped out at a very fast speed, and climbed up a big tree by the roadside.

Qingtan: "..."

Seeing Lin Yan squatting on the tree and beckoning to him, Qing Tan looked left and right, and before anyone came over, he trotted to the tree and climbed up.

Seeing him like this, Lin Yan couldn't help but sneered again.

Qingtan: "..." I will bear it!

When he got to the tree, Lin Yan didn't make another move for a long time, just when Qingtan thought he was waiting for an opportunity to slip up to another tree, he found that the lantern in front of the Lin Mansion's gate had gone out.

The surroundings suddenly darkened, and there was movement from the guard post not far away, and soon someone was running towards this side.

The soldiers knocked on the gate, and the butler of the Lin Mansion looked bewildered. When he saw the extinguished lantern at the gate, he showed an expression of enlightenment, and hurriedly asked someone to light it up again.

"Maybe it was blown by the wind, maybe the lampshade is broken, we'll send someone to fix it right away, thank you all!"

The soldiers at the sentry took a look into Lin's mansion, but they didn't find any problem, so they nodded and left.

While they were talking to the butler, Qing Tan and Lin Yan had already come down from the tree, jumped onto the roofs on both sides of the street, bypassed the guard post, and quickly headed towards the city gate.

After stopping several times on the way, Lin Yan always found a way to slip past Shen Lue's men, which surprised Qingtan very much.

Lin Yan seemed to have seen through his inner thoughts, "After all, I have guarded the city for so many years. I have never been to any corner of this place. It is not difficult to avoid those outsiders."

Not a local snake!Qing Tan thought to herself.

General Snake Lin, the head of the land, walked around the city with Qingtan, and it took him two or three times longer than usual to get to the city gate.

Walking to a street, Qingtan stopped suddenly. He looked at the two-storey building not far away. The originally ostentatious colorful building wrapped in silk and satin of various colors disappeared, leaving only a solitary plaque, showing that It's still it.

"Red Fragrance Pavilion?" Lin Yan followed his gaze, his eyes gradually becoming dangerous, "You still want to have fun at this time? It's a pity that there is no chance."

Qingtan turned her head, frowned and asked why: "Why?"

"Shen Lue ordered it to be sealed." Lin Yan spread his hands, "He thinks Ruanrou Township is the Hero Tomb."

Qingtan was speechless, and couldn't help but slander, "Is that Shen Lue an old antique?"

Lin Yan, who is old and not old, doesn't know. He is not familiar with Shen Lue. He only knows that he is gloomy and gloomy. A genuine snake demon is more like a demon clan.

Another point, which Lin Yan was inexplicably concerned about, was that Shen Lue seemed to be particularly hostile to the Yaozu.

Once, he just happened to see Shen Lue standing on the tower in a daze, and found that his eyes were full of killing intent when looking at Senqiu.

When he realized that there was someone behind him, when he turned his head to face Lin Yan, the strong killing intent dissipated immediately, as if he had never appeared before, and changed into the polite, indifferent and alienated expression in front of him again. .

Qingtan doesn't know this, the only thing he cares about now is to leave Lianshan City as soon as possible, You Miao and the others have already set off for the Boshui Tribe Land, how can such a rare big scene be without him?

The guards in the city were strict, the two of them didn't dare to hesitate, they almost flew all the way close to the corner of the wall, and finally came to the towering city wall.

"Okay, just send it here." Qingtan was about to climb up the city wall and slip out, but as soon as he stepped on the ground under the wall, he felt something was wrong, so he stepped on it again.

Lin Yan had been letting him out, but when he turned around and found that he was still there, he couldn't help yelling at him in a low voice: "Why are you so stupid? Get out quickly!"

"No..." Qingtan pointed to the ground, the feeling of the ground under his feet made him indescribable, sometimes it was like a ball of cotton, and sometimes it was as hard as a stone road.

He squatted down and pulled something in the dirt, "There seems to be something here."

As he spoke, his hand touched something like a rope, and he pulled it up, bringing up the soil next to it.

"what is this?"

Lin Yan didn't pay attention to it at first, but when he saw Qingtan bent over and holding the rope, walking a long way along the base of the city wall, he realized that things might not be that simple.

There was a piece of soil in Qingtan's hand, which he pulled off from the rope, it was sticky, and it smelled like blood.

Looking up to the distance, the city wall is winding and tall, and the bricks and stones used to build the wall are transported from Heijing Valley. The black color reflects a strange color at night, and it also gives people a heavy sense of oppression.

Anyone standing under the city wall will appear extremely small.

The "rope" soaked in blood seems to form a large circle along the city wall, enclosing the entire city. Although I don't know its specific use, just think about how much blood it takes to wrap such a long rope. Soaked, Qingtan felt shuddering.

"It seems that your place is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface."

Lin Yan also smelled the bloody smell emanating from the rope, "It must have been done by those people in Shugeng City!"

What he said was very decisive, after all, Lianshan City had never heard of anyone digging out anything under the city wall before.

Qingtan's attention was not on what exactly he did, he looked at the rope carefully, and then at the layout of the whole city, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he was, "This is a formation!"

Lin Yan: "Formation?"

Qingtan didn't answer, but continued to pull the rope, lowered her head, and almost missed the corner of the city wall.

Lin Yan grabbed his collar, pulled him over, and hid him in a bush, "Do you want to be discovered?!"

Qingtan came back to his senses and sat down on the ground, no matter what kind of formation, if it needs to use human blood as an introduction, it will definitely not be able to get rid of the demons and heretics.Such a formation appears in Lianshan City, but it still surrounds the whole city, no matter how you think about it, it's not good!

Originally, You Miao asked him to send Xiao Zizi and Xuan Chen to the Lin Mansion because the human territory was not at risk, but now it seems that their vision is too bad.

Lin Yan was also shocked, but not to the point of losing his mind. He paid attention to the movement around him, and found a suitable time, "We have to return to where we were, and I have to tell the city lord about this so that he can see clearly. Shen Lue's wolf ambition."

No matter what formation it is, if he dares to attack Lian Shancheng, he will not tolerate it!

Qingtan was taken aback when he heard the words, pointed to his nose and said, "I want to go back too?"

It was not easy for him to come under the city wall.

Lin Yan squinted at him, "If this matter is not resolved, the two children will be in danger if they stay in the city. Can you leave in peace?"

"······cannot."

Lin Yan: "Then let's go to the City Lord's Mansion."

Qing Tan gritted her teeth, and resignedly followed Lin Yan back.
