The lord is always dishonest [Transmigration Book]

Yan Hui, the lord of Shuofang City.

He is reticent in nature, lives in seclusion, has mysterious contacts, and there are few rumors about him.

Before the Tianxu City murder case, Qin Lu asked the Lord of the Six Cities to explain it. At that time, Yan went back. Qi Zhao met him a few times, and vaguely remembered that he was a silent person. He helped him when Xue Qin held him hostage at the end. Not low.

But now, his fate card suddenly shattered.

Qi Zhao's heart skipped a beat.

When Yan Hui fell, the bloodline totem on his body would no longer exist.

He was brought to the Floating Life Realm by Xiao Jiu in order to reverse the subversion of the world line, but now that Yanhui has fallen, and a piece of the bloodline totem is missing, the Floating Life Realm...will it repeat the same mistakes?

For a moment, Qi Zhao suddenly thought of what Xiao Jiu had shown him, the world of floating life.

The sky was covered in red, corpses littered the field, his loved ones and those who loved him struggled to die, their bones were drowned under layers of flesh and blood... and the days he had thought he would spend with Xie Shen countless times would all be in vain.

Qi Zhao's fingers clenched tightly, and his breathing intensified unconsciously. Xiao Jiu regained consciousness from the news of Yan Hui's fall, saw his appearance, and suddenly became anxious, and spoke hastily.

【Qi Zhao, don't worry, the last sacred tree totem hasn't cracked yet! 】

Qi Zhao was taken aback, and quickly opened the scroll, and the totem on the far right was still the same as before.

Normally, if this plot line is broken, then the corresponding bloodline totem should also be broken. There is no change now, which means that the totem has not been affected at all.

How is this going?

Qi Zhao was puzzled, subconsciously raised his head to look at Xie Shen, Xie Shen gently held his hand, and said in a low voice, "Go to the study and talk about it."

study.

Xie Shen took Qi Zhao to the table and sat down, then said calmly, "What's going on?"

"It's an urgent letter from Shuofang City."

Xie Qing bowed, and brought a letter from his bosom, with the fire seal of Shuofang City on it, Xie Shen opened the letter, and looked down at it together with Qi Zhao, the font was correct, densely packed with three pages.

Yan Hui fell last night.

Very suddenly, the cause of the fall is still unknown, and what is even more strange is that, logically speaking, after the fall of the city lord, Gou Chenling would belong to the Shuofang barrier, but now that Yanhui has fallen, Gouchen Ling has disappeared.

There are three ways to pass on the succession of the city lord of Shuofang City. In addition to the appointment of the city lord, it is to see Gou Chenling perceive and recognize the lord. However, Yan Hui did not designate a successor before his death, and Gou Chenling also disappeared, so there is only the last way left.

Open the Gochen Tower, and the person who passes the tower will be the new city lord.

Seeing this, Qi Zhao couldn't help frowning. Yan Hui's fall, Gou Chenling's disappearance, and Gou Chen Pagoda's opening, these three things are actually logical in isolation, but Yan Hui's sudden fall is really intriguing.

Thinking of this, he asked, "Has someone already entered the tower?"

Xie Qing nodded: "I heard that someone entered the tower early this morning, and the name of this person is somewhat familiar, it seems to be—"

He thought for a while, and said, "Never at night."

No night, Xin Yi.

Qi Zhao's heart trembled, and he looked towards Xie Shen subconsciously. The two looked at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

They saw Xin Yi fall into the soul hiding well that day. Not only did Xin Yi escape from the well unharmed, but he also set his sights on Shuofang City.

Xie Shen lowered his eyes: "You go back first."

"Yes."

Xie Qing responded, bowed and backed out. Qi Zhao stood in the distance in a daze. After a long silence, he said in a low voice: "We have to go to Shuofang City."

Xie Shen pinched the bridge of his nose wearily, "The lord of one city has changed, and the lords of the other six cities will be here. Qin Lu and the others should have received the letter by then, and then we will—"

Just halfway through what he wanted to say, he was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.

The two looked up, and Xie Qing went and returned, standing by the door with unsteady breath: "City Lord, Mr. Qi, news came from Shuofang City that the person who entered the Gouchen Tower passed through the tower at half an hour this morning. Trial, succeeding to the position of city lord, the succession ceremony will be held within a few days."

There was a moment of silence all around.

After a while, Xie Shen stood up and spoke heavily.

"You don't have to wait for the news from the other five cities. I'll go to Shuofang City tomorrow morning."

……

The lord of Shuofang City fell, and the new lord succeeded him.

This is a big event, and it was spread all over the world of floating life as soon as I saw Bai the next day.

In the early morning, Qi Zhao and Xie Shen got up early and went outside the city to prepare to go to Shuofang City.

The two walked out of the city gate side by side. At this time of early spring, when it was warm and cold, there was a gust of cool wind as soon as they went out. Qi Zhao didn't sleep all night, and he woke up a little bit from the coolness. A thin figure stood quietly, looking at them from afar.

I didn't see it until I got closer, but it was Du Wen.

What happened in Shuofang City happened suddenly, he didn't tell anyone that he was going to leave, logically speaking, he shouldn't have seen Du Wen here, Qi Zhao was a little surprised: "Du Wen? Why are you here alone, Yue Cang? ?”

Du Wen raised his eyes, his lips were faintly pale, Qi Zhao frowned, reached out and touched his cheek, the touch was cold, he had been waiting under the tower for an unknown amount of time.

He stood there, his face was pale, his eyes were black and blue, he looked like he had lost sleep all night, he looked straight at Qi Zhao: "Are you going to Shuofang City?"

Qi Zhao nodded silently.

Shuofang City's sacred wood barrier is Gouchen Shenmu, which is originally a secret attribute. In addition, Shuofeng City is a city on the edge of the north, and it is the city that is most likely to breed demonic barriers except Wanjing City.

Qi Zhao probably knew what Xin Yi wanted to do, and he couldn't do what he wanted.

Seeing Qi Zhao nodding his head, Du Wen's face became even paler, and he looked at Qi Zhao sadly, with a hint of pleading in his tone: "Qi Zhao, don't go, okay?"

Qi Zhao was taken aback: "What's wrong?"

Du Wen's lips trembled, his eyes struggled: "I, I, no, I just heard about Shuofang City in the early morning, and I thought you would go, but Shuofang City is actually very complicated, and there are few rumors about it outside. ……Too dangerous."

Qi Zhao knew he was lying, so he didn't say anything.

Du Wen stretched out his hand to grab his sleeve, and said, "Qi Zhao, trust me, you really don't want to go, I..."

After seeing Qi Zhao shaking his head, what he wanted to say gradually faded away.

"Duwen, I have a reason why I must go, if I can come back this time, I will tell you all about it." Qi Zhao said softly, "This year's Spring Festival will not be over, next year Xie Shen and I will spend it with you .”

As he spoke, he pulled Du Wen's hand down, smiled gently, but had firm eyes.

Du Wen stared into his eyes for a long time, his fingers trembled more and more, and finally slumped down from Qi Zhao's sleeve, his voice hoarse: "...OK."

Qi Zhao tried his best to relax his voice, and asked, "Did you do a fortune-telling for me this time?"

Du Wen paused, and soon smiled palely: "Gua? Forget it...it's okay, it's a good hexagram. Don't worry, I'll wait for you to come back."

Qi Zhao said good, and was about to ask the hexagram, but saw that Du Wen had turned around, and walked forward in a daze.

Qi Zhao looked at his back silently, did not call him: "Let's go."

Xie Shen humbly agreed, held his hand, and the two got into the carriage together, the carriage drove slowly, and the city tower gradually receded in the morning light, gradually becoming a blurred point.

……

Ten days later, the carriage stopped slowly outside the main city of Shuofang City.

When Qi Zhao and Xie Shen entered the city, they heard the townspeople talk about never-night. Shuofang city residents are good at divination. Then he can come out safely, which is enough for the city people to recognize him.

The only thing that is wrong is probably that he didn't make a statement, and the name is not justified.

Yan Hui fell, and the new city lord is coming. The city lord's mansion was temporarily vacant, so the two went to the elder's mansion. The steward of the mansion led them to the study room. When the two entered, there were already many people sitting there, almost all of them were familiar faces. .

Nie Pan and Wei Jiaze, Lu Jianshui and Lu Zuobing, and Wen Gu and Gu Congzhi.

Except for Qin Xiu and Qin Lu, everyone has arrived.

Standing by the window of the study was an old man, the great elder of the Elder's Mansion. When he heard the footsteps, he turned his head, his face a little haggard: "Please come here, the Elder's Mansion is very grateful."

Wen Gu smiled slightly: "Since everyone is here, if the elder has anything to do, just say so."

The Great Elder nodded wearily, and said: "Actually, it was already mentioned in the letter. The city lord fell for no reason, and there are many doubts behind it, and you all know it well, but now... what I want to say is not at night."

Lu Jianshui nodded: "Elder, please tell me."

"Everyone knows that Buye has passed the trial of the Gouchen Tower, and tomorrow is the time to succeed him as the city lord. But I always feel that this person was wrong when he appeared, so I checked him with a water mirror last night, and it turned out... "

The Great Elder hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth: "It turned out that he secretly colluded with monsters."

Everyone was not surprised by this, Lu Jianshui narrowed his eyes: "What does the elder want us to do?"

"This is obviously a situation. Although my Shuofang City is a marginal city, it has always been innocent and has never been a place to hide filth. However, it is a real thing that he passed the Gochen Tower. The Elder's Mansion cannot go back on his word. Besides, People in the city are good at divination, and their cultivation level is indeed inferior to him, so I hope that the city lords can help and restore the cleanliness and tranquility of Shuofang City."

Everyone came here for Chi Mu this time, and they nodded in response.

The Great Elder rubbed his eyes, his eyes were slightly red, he sighed and shook his head: "It's also useless for us old men, otherwise Shuofang City would be in such a situation, it would be embarrassing for you."

The old man's face was tired, it looked like he had stayed up for several nights, and he was sad, so everyone advised him to go back to rest, the old man nodded in response, his steps were a little unsteady, but his waist was still straight.

Everyone watched him go out, and after looking away, they were silent for a while, Nie Pan raised his head first, and spoke heavily.

"Forget it, let's go back first, tomorrow is the succession ceremony, although it is a taboo for us to intervene in this matter, but this taboo--"

He narrowed his eyes: "It's time to commit a crime."
