The lord is always dishonest [Transmigration Book]

Qi Zhao and Xie Shen stayed at the Gouchen Inn.

After returning, Qi Zhao sat down on the bed, hugged the pillow in his arms, frowned and began to think about things.

He's in a mess right now.

At first, he knew nothing about Yanhui's fall.

Secondly, I don't know what Xin Yi is planning.

Suddenly, the pattern on the wrist shook, and the mint green dumpling jumped out and nestled beside him: "Qi Zhaozhao."

Qi Zhao put the pillow on the side and picked up the dumpling: "Xiao Jiu, do you know what happened to Yanhui?"

Xiao Jiu shook his head and said, "When I was suppressed by Xin Yi and fell into a deep sleep, I hadn't been to Shuofang City yet. After waking up, the Floating Life World has been caged by a demon barrier. I don't know exactly how."

"Then do you think there is any other way to prevent Xin Yi from succeeding as the lord of Shuofang City? After all, Xie Shen's interference will be criticized by others."

Xiao Jiu: "Actually, you know better than me whether there is any, don't you?"

Qi Zhao didn't speak, he knew what Xiao Jiu said was right, he had thought about this matter many times, but there were only two ways.

One is that other people have also passed the Gochen Pagoda.

The second is to kill Xin Yi before the succession ceremony.

The possibility of the former is very small. The hexagram formation in the Gochen Tower is an ancient hexagram formation. In the past 300 years, only two people have passed the tower.

The latter is more difficult. If Xin Yi could be killed so easily, they wouldn't be sitting here now.

Qi Zhao sighed and frowned even deeper.

Xie Shen ordered food from below, and when he carried it up, he saw Qi Zhao sighing and frowning, put the food box on the table, and walked slowly to his side: "Qi Zhao."

Qi Zhao raised his head, and as soon as he smiled, he felt warm fingers touch his brows. Xie Shen frowned and rubbed him away, and said softly, "Come and eat something, don't think too much, eh?"

"it is good."

Qi Zhao responded, followed him to the table and sat down, but he still didn't have any appetite, so he put down his chopsticks after a bite or two.

Xie Shen looked over: "What's wrong?"

Qi Zhao hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Xie Shen, according to the rules, the Seven Cities cannot interfere with each other. Is it appropriate for you to directly interfere with Shuofang City Lord's succession tomorrow?"

"That's all if it doesn't fit." Xie Shen said lightly, "At most, there are more gossips. Whether it's me, Nie Pan, or others, they don't care."

After all, he paused, and before Qi Zhao could say anything, he spoke again: "I know what you're thinking, but you don't need to think about it. Xin Yi's matter is related to the world of floating life, and it's not your business alone. bear it together."

This is true to a certain extent, and to a certain extent it is comforting.

Qi Zhao knew it in his heart, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Are you comforting me?"

Xie Shen picked up the chopsticks and fed him a cloud leg before opening his mouth in a low voice, "Does it work?"

"I'm afraid it won't work." Qi Zhao looked at him with his chin in his hand, "At least to comfort people, there must be cats, the kind of cats that are fluffy, black, and have particularly good-looking pupils."

Xie Shen also laughed, leaned forward and bit his earlobe, and said with a low smile, "No hurry, wait till night, whatever you want...I will give it to you."

total!explain!Sao!talk!

Qi Zhao rubbed his face, expressionless: "Be serious."

"Okay, serious." Xie Shen was kind, and held another cloud leg and handed it to Qi Zhao's mouth. Qi Zhao bit it, thinking that although City Lord Xie was not serious, he had to admit that he felt a heavy feeling in his heart after being made such a fuss. It did disappear a lot.

Because of eating while making a fuss, the food that could be eaten in a quarter of an hour was dragged to a quarter of an hour.

Qi Zhao put down the bowls and chopsticks and put them back into the food box. Xie Shen told him to have a good rest, and went out with the empty food box alone. Qi Zhao was not sleepy, he was idle and bored, so he went downstairs with him.

As soon as he went out, he heard a commotion.

Gouchen Inn is the largest inn in the city, and the floor is almost full. Xie Shen went to the front to put the food box back, turned around and saw Qi Zhao who was looking around, and asked, "Want to go out and have a look?"

Qi Zhao thought for a while, then nodded, "Yes."

Xie Shen looked at him indulgently, smiled and stretched out his hand, Qi Zhao smiled and took it, the two went out one after the other, the street was sparsely populated, far away from the hustle and bustle of the inn behind.

After walking for a while, the number of people gradually increased. The people in Shuofang City were all dressed in a monotonous way, either in white or in black, which means Taiji Yinyang and Eight Diagrams, and the rest didn't look much different.

"I thought that the people in Shuofang City would be like Du Wen, wandering around every day to give fortune-telling."

"It's not that there are none." Xie Shen said, "The streets on the left are full of fortune tellers. Although the citizens of Shuofang City are good at divination, they are not as good as themselves, so they go to find people to count each other."

Qi Zhao: "..."

And this kind of operation?

Qi Zhao looked at Xie Shen in surprise, the latter smiled softly, and nodded lightly between his brows: "Okay, let's go."

Shuofang City is located on the edge of the northwest, and it is always a bit bleak and desolate. What Qi Zhao likes is the moist feeling of misty rain. He has no feeling for this place, so he just found a gazebo and sat down.

The gazebo is located in a remote place, there are fewer pedestrians on the road than before, and the shadows of the trees sway slightly.

Qi Zhao looked at it for a while, then sighed suddenly: "Wanjingcheng is the most comfortable place, and I don't know when I can go back. I came to Shuofang in a hurry before the Chinese New Year. Thinking about it, I really don't want to be reconciled."

Even though there will be countless Spring Festivals in the future, there will never be the first one after the two get together.

Xie Shen smiled slowly: "It's good that people are here."

Qi Zhao understands the truth, but it is inevitable that he is still a little upset. Xie Shen knew what he was thinking, and lightly hooked Qi Zhao's fingers with his fingers, lowering his eyes: "Although I missed the Spring Festival, I didn't prepare for you before... ...I brought it."

"Ok?"

"I'll give it to you when I get back." Xie Shen indulged, and after finishing speaking, the corners of his lips curled up slowly, "Where's yours?"

There are still eight or nine blank pages in Qi Zhao's album, and there is still a way to give it away, so he pretends to be stupid: "I didn't bring it."

"Really?" Xie Shen raised his eyebrows, with a smile in his eyes, he didn't expose his little lie, "Then when we go home, you can give it to me yourself, okay?"

Qi Zhao bent his eyes and nodded: "Okay."

Xie Shen's eyes suddenly became softer, he stretched out his hand to caress his cheek, and smiled softly.

The two sat in the gazebo for about an hour, seeing that it was getting dark, they started walking towards the inn.

When he came, he didn't feel how far it was, but when he returned, Qi Zhao only felt that he and Xie Shen walked for a long time before finally seeing the banner of the inn in the distance.

Qi Zhao misses the soft bedding very much now, so he couldn't help speeding up his pace, walked to the door and saw that Xie Shen hadn't followed, turned around and called him with a smile: "Thank you—"

The sound stopped abruptly when he saw the other end of the street.

He saw Xin Yi.

The latter was still dressed in a silver cloak, standing straight under the ginkgo tree, with dark eyes, staring straight at Qi Zhao, followed by another person, who was standing with his head bowed, also wearing a cloak. A loose robe, can not see anything clearly.

Qi Zhao's pupils shrank, and just as he was about to take a closer look, Xin Yi suddenly took a step forward, firmly blocking the man behind him, and opened his mouth silently towards Qi Zhao.

"Qi Zhao, long time no see."

As soon as the mouth shape of the last word was made, Xie Shen in front of him suddenly turned his backhand, and the startled blue sword shot out in the air, and stabbed in the direction of Xin Yi with invincible momentum. Xin Yi did not hide, and the smile on his lips became more ferocious. When the blue sword reached his eyes, he waved his sleeve.

"Zheng-"

The startling blue sword was nailed into the wall behind it, clanging.

And it was empty there, and there was no shadow of Xin Yi and that man.

Qi Zhao narrowed his eyes: "Phantom?"

Xie Shen withdrew the startling blue sword, his tone was very calm, "It's not an illusion, it's just a ray of spirit, and the person behind him is not low."

But Xin Yi had no companions before.

Qi Zhao's eyes darkened, Xie Shen held his hand, and slowed down his voice: "Go back, you'll be fine, huh?"

"……it is good."

Qi Zhao smiled, held his hand behind his back, and after walking a few steps forward, couldn't help but look back again. The street behind him was empty, and everything was silent, lonely for no reason in early autumn.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Shuofang City's succession ceremony took place.

The bell of the city tower rang, and the gate of the city lord's mansion, which had been closed for several days, reopened, and a succession ceremony was held in the front hall.

Qi Zhao and Xie Shen went there together with Nie Pan and the others. When they entered, the three people from the Elder's Mansion had already arrived, and beside them were Qin Lu and Qin Xiu.

Qi Zhao saluted the three elders and sat down beside Qin Xiu. Qin Xiu tilted his head and asked in a low voice, "How's it going?"

Qi Zhao told him what the Great Elder had said and everyone's plans. Hearing this, Qin Xiu nodded, "It's the same as what Qin Lu thought, or in other words, it can only be like this. You have seen Xin...it's not night anymore Is it?"

Qi Zhao then told him about Xin Yi's spirit and the people behind him that he saw yesterday, hesitated at the end, and concluded: "It's hard to say."

Qin Xiu glanced at him, as if he wanted to say something, but when he heard another bell ringing outside, the three elders immediately stood up and looked out the door calmly.Qin Xiu took the words back and looked there together.

The bells around were still ringing, louder and louder than the last.After seven beeps, the bells and drums of the City Lord's Mansion rang together, and Xin Yi finally showed his face amidst the hustle and bustle.

He was still wearing the black burqa, his face was covered by a mask, and he walked in slowly, the hem of his clothes dangling with his steps, as if what was supporting it was not flesh and blood, but a dry skeleton.

He stopped in the middle, and his voice was calm: "Elder."

After the words fell, he raised his head, looked around the people around him, and finally stopped on Qi Zhao, his pupils were dark.

Then slowly, a strange smile appeared.
