The lord is always dishonest [Transmigration Book]

At night, after all, Qi Zhao couldn't hold back the little turmoil in his heart, and peeked at Xie Shen for a long time.

Because I slept too late, I woke up in the morning with no energy. I sat on the couch and tried to keep my eyes open, so I couldn't continue to fall asleep.

Xie Shen walked in after washing up, saw him hugging the quilt in a daze, his eyes softened suddenly, and asked softly, "Are you awake?"

Qi Zhao still couldn't fully open his eyes, looked up at him blankly, Xie Shen stretched out his hand and nodded between his brows, and said with a smile in his voice, "Okay, it's time to get up."

The familiar scent of bluegrass on the tip of his nose made Qi Zhao's consciousness clearer. He opened his eyes and saw Xie Shen bending over in front of him. Those eyes were more beautiful than obsidian.

Well, it's so close.

The little fool was a little shy, stepped back a little, and responded hesitatingly: "Mm, um... ok."

Xie Shen didn't move, and still looked at him with a smile in his eyes. Being looked at by him like this, Qi Zhao's ears turned red slightly, and after a long while, he couldn't help opening his mouth: "Xie Shen...you pressed the corner of the quilt to the ground. , I can't get up."

Xie Shen: "..."

City Lord Xie sighed in his heart, completely helpless with his incomprehensible style, straightened up and said, "I'll wait for you outside."

Qi Zhao nodded, watched Xie Shen's figure disappear by the door, quickly put on his clothes, and walked out.

The City Lord's Mansion of Tianxu City is the same as Wanjing City, and meals are served in the front hall.

When Qi Zhao walked in with Xie Shen, there were already many people sitting inside, he saw Chi Mu for the first time, who was sitting next to Qin Lu, smiling at him with gentle eyes.

Qi Zhao smiled back, and sat down beside Xie Shen, just as he put the snake-grain wood away, he felt someone watching him.

He tilted his head, and the owner of his eyes was dressed in a red robe, with raised eyebrows, and when he looked at it, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, chic and wanton.

Nie Pan, the city lord of Phoenix.

Qi Zhao quietly moved to Xie Shen's side, and Xie Shen raised his eyes to look at Nie Pan, his eyes were indifferent.

Nie Pan couldn't help laughing, and jokingly said, "The protection is so tight, what else can I do?"

He had a good personal relationship with Xie Shen, and his posture was very relaxed when he spoke. Xie Shen ignored him, and he didn't mind, his peach eyes were curved into beautiful arcs.

Good-looking is good-looking, but too...

Qi Zhao felt that he had wrongly blamed Xie Shen in the past, what is real strength?that's.

When he was thinking this way, the bell of the City Lord's Mansion rang, and people came in one after another, and put the prepared meals on the rattan table.

Qi Zhao ate some snacks last night and was already hungry, but because the crowd was not yet full, he couldn't eat yet.After waiting for a while, Qi Zhao was really hungry, so he quietly asked Xie Shen, "Who is this who hasn't come yet?"

"Linshu, Yunzhou City." Xie Shen said.

As soon as the words fell, Qin Lu's cold voice sounded from the first place: "Qin Chong, go and have a look."

Qin nodded in response, turned around and walked out quickly. Qi Zhao sat in the same place and waited boredly. After a while, he heard footsteps outside the door.

It seemed that it could be eaten, Qi Zhao's eyes lit up, and he moved his fingers towards the chopsticks on the table, and at the same time as they touched, the wooden door was pushed open.

Qin Chong walked in, clasped his hands with a heavy expression and opened his mouth.

"City Lord, something has happened."

……

Lin Shu died.

When he died, his blood was sucked dry, and his whole body was wrinkled into a dry ball, beyond recognition.

Standing behind Xie Shen, Qi Zhao glanced, seeing Lin Shu's wide-open eyes in horror, he immediately felt creepy and turned his gaze away.

The vegetation he has come into contact with has always been kind and gentle, and he never thought that there would be such a cruel temperament in plants.

Over there, Qin Chong finished examining Lin Shu's body, and walked back to Qin Lu: "City Master, the demonic energy left in the spirit veins is caused by the demonized vampire vines. He should have disappeared last night."

Qin Lu didn't respond, but pursed his lips tightly.

The City Lord's Mansion is the most closely guarded place in Tianxu City. As the confidant of the City Lord of Yunzhou City, Lin Shu's own spiritual power is not bad, but the blood-sucking vine can take his life under the noses of everyone, and there is no movement left .

Sure enough, there is an inner ghost.

What's worse, the vampire vines only attacked low-level spiritual planters before, but now they can silently kill high-level practitioners.

Qin Lu lowered his eyes and said nothing, Qi Zhao looked at his back, but what he thought of was the vaguely demonic aura he felt when Qin Lu passed by last night.

Could this have anything to do with Lin Shu's death?

After a plant of incense, Lin Shu's body was temporarily buried. As for the others, it had to be investigated slowly.

Everyone lost the mood to eat and dispersed.

Qi Zhao and Xie Shen walked slowly towards their residence, and when there was no one around, Qi Zhao approached Xie Shen, and asked him in a low voice, "Do you think... Qin Lu and the forbidden area in the back mountain have a problem?"

"Qin Lu set the back mountain as a forbidden area on the first day he became the lord of Tianxu City, and no one else was allowed to approach, so no one knows what's in it, and whether there is any problem."

Hearing what Xie Shen said, Qi Zhao couldn't help frowning, and heard him speak again.

"So, since we want to know, let's go to the back mountain to have a look."

"...there is a forbidden area, is it appropriate for us to go there?"

Xie Shen didn't speak, the corners of his lips curled up slowly, and he turned around, the meaning was obvious.

Qi Zhao blinked and hurriedly followed.

City Lord's Mansion, Back Mountain.

This place is not as gloomy as Qi Zhao imagined, but with lush trees and gentle wind, it is a beautiful place.

But it is indeed very strange, it is obviously a forbidden area, but no one is sent outside to handle it, only a layer of enchantment is set up.Naturally, Xie Shen didn't take this kind of enchantment seriously, and opened it almost effortlessly.

As soon as he entered, Qi Zhao felt the vaguely demonic energy from last night.

Sure enough, there are ghosts.

The two walked forward slowly and searched for the source of the devilish energy. After half an hour, they finally stopped outside a deep cave.

At this moment, the devilish energy around was condensed to the extreme, entangled in the air, thick and dense.

Such a thick demon energy is not something that ordinary monsters can have.Qi Zhao glanced at Xie Shen, but before he could speak, he suddenly heard someone in the cave speak.

"Since you're here, let's come in. I still know how to treat guests."

The tone was casual, with a little sleepy laziness.

At the same time as his words sounded, the vines covering the outside of the cave slowly moved away, revealing a hole.Qi Zhao followed Xie Shen into it, the inside was empty, there was only a wicker bed, someone was lying on it with his back to them, he turned around when he heard footsteps, his eyes were slightly raised, and he smiled lazily.

Qi Zhao was stunned.

The person in front of him had a face exactly like Qin Lu's.

"It turned out to be City Lord Xie." The man's eyes stopped on Xie Shen, "I haven't had anyone come here for many years, and it's the first time I come here, and it's such a distinguished guest."

As he spoke, he smiled, sat up slowly, and said, "I'm Qin Xiu. I don't know what the name of the kid next to City Lord Xie is?"

Qin Xiu?Qi Zhao's heart skipped a beat.

Isn't this Qin Lu's previous name?

"What's your relationship with Qin Lu?" Xie Shen asked him calmly without answering his question.

"What does it matter?" Qin Xiu lazily smiled, "Everyone knows that Qin Xiu used killing to prove the Tao, and since then he has no feelings or desires, and he doesn't even think about it. How can it be possible for a person who has gone through so many things to have no demons?"

"The pain, emotions and desires that Qin Lu has endured are all on me."

His tone was very steady. Although he was a demon, there was no gloomy look in his eyes, and he was full of magnanimity and wantonness.

Qi Zhao felt inexplicably that he didn't seem like someone who could manipulate vampire vines to kill people.

As soon as this idea appeared, Qin Xiu sneered: "Little friend, hasn't anyone told you that judging people by their appearance is unacceptable?"

Qi Zhao: "..."

Qi Zhao was stunned for a moment, and when he realized he was about to speak, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside.

At this time, there will be no one else who will come to the back mountain except Qin Lu. After all, he sneaked in without permission. Qi Zhao felt a little guilty, and turned to look at Qin Xiu and Xie Shen. The former smiled, while the latter was calm. , seemed completely unfazed by being discovered.

After a while, the sound of footsteps stopped, and a figure appeared beside the cave entrance, it was Qin Lu.

He walked over, his eyes slowly swept over Qi Zhao and Xie Shen, without any surprise, his tone was calm and unwavering: "Thank you, City Lord."

Except when facing Qi Zhao, Xie Shen was more relaxed, on weekdays he was also indifferent, and he only nodded when he heard the words.

Qin Xiu beside him smiled, got up and walked forward, and naturally kissed the corner of Qin Lu's lips: "You are here."

It was rare for Qin Lu to have a different mood, his brows were slightly frowned, and he glanced at him, Qin Xiu didn't mind his indifference, and looked at him with a light smile, the emotion in his eyes was so full that it was about to overflow.

Qi Zhao was dumbfounded.

He suddenly felt that the articles he had read before were reborn into others and fell in love with his past self, they were nothing at all.

This is a complete self-inflicted attack.
