One person, one city, guarding the border for 30 years

Chapter 165

the next morning.

Lu Qingfan summoned the blue bird, and sat on the blue bird's back with A Li.

The blue bird flew high into the sky and flew northward.

The territory of the Demon Race is very large, even much larger than the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Correspondingly, the population of the Demon Race is also large, more than twice that of Da Zhou.

Like the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Demon Race is also a unified country.

The capital is also in the north.

God is in the city.

It was the first big city that Lu Qingfan and A Li passed by.

Tall walls, wide moat.

There are clean and tidy streets in the city, as well as pedestrians coming and going.

Its position in the Demon Race is similar to Caiyun City in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and its population and scale are also similar.

There is a hill to the west of Shenlin City. The blue bird fell from the sky and landed on the hill.

Lu Qingfan and A Li jumped off the blue bird's back, and Lu Qingfan took the blue bird into the ethereal island.

Ah Li's grandfather lived at the foot of this mountain.

"Let's go."

The two went down the mountain, and A Li found a house by relying on his memory.

This house is very large, built against a mountain, next to a river, and there are no other houses around.

The gate of the house was closed tightly, and the door was covered with dust.

A Li pushed lightly, and the door opened.

The two walked into the yard, only to see weeds everywhere, even the stone road was covered with grass.

Seeing this, Ah Li's heart was already cold.

no one!

When the two entered the house, what they saw was a mess, with messy things scattered all over the floor.

Ah Li looked at the desolation in the room, and couldn't help but get red eyes.

It is one thing to imagine it, but another to actually face it.

"Ugh!"

Ah Li sighed softly, leading Lu Qingfan to search one by one.

Nothing of value, not even a clue.

Ah Li was still young at that time, and he only knew that the Chou Family were two superpowers, but he didn't know who they were, let alone where to find them.

A Li is also not familiar with the demon race.

She came here a handful of times when she was a child, and when she came, she stayed here and seldom went out.

"How to do?"

Ah Li lost his mind and looked at Lu Qingfan.

"Go to the City Lord's Mansion."

Lu Qingfan said: "Just report your grandfather's name, let them track down the real culprit, and see what they say?"

"it is good."

Ah Li thought about it, and somewhat understood Lu Qingfan's thoughts.

Go make trouble!

Make it big!
As long as the news got out, she didn't need to look for others, someone would naturally come to her.

It is said that cutting weeds requires eradicating the roots, and that person must understand.

The two left the house and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

Four soldiers wearing waist knives stood guard in front of the city lord's mansion.

After Ah Li and Lu Qingfan approached, they were stopped.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

"We're looking for the mayor."

A Li directly explained his intention.

"Ok?"

The soldiers sized up Ah Li and Lu Qingfan, seeing that they had extraordinary demeanor, they didn't dare to neglect them, and asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Li, and I am Su Zhaoshu's granddaughter."

Ah Li told the truth that Su Zhaoshu was under her grandfather's name.

"Who is Su Zhaoshu?"

The soldiers were taken aback when they heard this, they had never heard of this name before.

Lu Qingfan was also taken aback. Surnamed Su?Does the Demon Race have a surname Su?
"Go and tell the city lord, the city lord will naturally know."

A Li urged: "I have a very important thing to find the city lord, if you are delayed, I can't afford it."

"is it?"

The soldiers were skeptical and looked at A Li again.

"I'll go."

One of the soldiers agreed to come down and ran into the city lord's mansion.

Not long after, he ran out out of breath and shouted all the way: "The city lord is here, please follow me, both of you."

"it is good."

A Li and Lu Qingfan walked into the City Lord's Mansion together.

"this way please."

The soldier's attitude was obviously much more polite, and he led the two into the house. A man dressed as a housekeeper greeted him and waved to the soldier, "Go down."

"Yes."

After the soldiers left, the butler smiled and made a gesture of invitation, "Please, both of you."

Under the guidance of the housekeeper, Lu Qingfan and A Li came to a hall.

"Please sit down."

The butler motioned them to sit down, and then a maid came over and poured tea for them.

"Wait a second, the city lord will be here soon."

The housekeeper and maid went out, only Lu Qingfan and A Li were left in the room.

"What do you think the city lord will do?"

Ali asked suddenly.

"It's hard to guess."

Lu Qingfan shook his head, "The most difficult thing to understand in this world is the human heart."

"Yes."

Ali sighed softly and fell into deep thought.

"Is your grandfather's surname Su? Or is it just that name?"

Lu Qingfan suddenly remembered this and was a little curious.

Ah Li nodded, "My grandfather's surname is Su, and my mother's surname is also Su."

"Ok?"

Lu Qingfan was a little surprised, "Is there someone named Su in the Demon Race?"

"I do not know then."

Ah Li only had a half-knowledge about the demon race, not much better than Lu Qingfan.

"alright."

Lu Qingfan suddenly turned his head and looked at the door, only to see a man in his 30s entering the room. He had a stern face, took big steps, but landed lightly, almost without a sound.

The strength of the eighth rank!

Lu Qingfan saw through this person's strength at a glance, and was a little surprised at the overall strength of the demons.

A city lord of a border town has eighth-rank strength?
He remembered that the Nanzhao city lord of the Great Zhou Dynasty was only at the sixth rank.

Taking a peek at the surface, Lu Qingfan has a rough idea of ​​the strength of the demons.

After the man entered the room, he sat across from Lu Qingfan's A Li.

He didn't speak in a hurry, but looked at A Li and Lu Qingfan first.

After a while, he asked, "Are you really Su Zhaoshu's granddaughter?"

"Yes."

Ah Li nodded, "Excuse me, City Master, do you recognize my grandfather?"

"I don't know him, but I've heard of him."

The city owner shook his head and continued to ask, "Where have you been all these years?"

"Since you have heard of my grandfather, you may also know that my father is a member of the Saint Clan, and I have been in the Saint Clan these years."

Ah Li is telling the truth.

"Oh."

The city lord looked at A Li again, "Then what's the matter with you when you come back this time?"

"Track down the real culprit and avenge my grandfather!"

A Li was talking, his eyes were fixed on the city lord, observing the expression on his face.

"what?"

The city lord was stunned for a moment, and smiled wryly, "It's been so many years, why do you only remember now?"

"Because my father is also dead, I have no relatives in this world, and I am alone, with nothing to worry about."

A Li sighed: "There are some things that I didn't dare to do, but now, I have to do it, even if it means death, I don't care!"

"I've heard a little bit about what happened back then."

The city lord also sighed, "With your grandfather's strength, even if you all died at the hands of your enemies, wouldn't you be sending yourself to death when you come back?"

"Do you know who my grandfather's enemy is?"

Ah Li asked suddenly, staring at the city lord.

"what?"

The city lord froze for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't know, with my identity and strength, how could I know?"

"is it?"

A Li suddenly sneered, "Then let me ask you, as the city lord, have you ever investigated the cause of my grandfather's death?"

"This……"

The city lord was stopped by the question, and then smiled wryly again, "To tell you the truth, I really dare not investigate this matter."

"Then my grandfather died in vain?"

Ah Li suddenly stood up and said angrily, "And that's not just one life, there are also my grandfather's clansmen, that's dozens of lives, even hundreds of lives!"

"Girl, I know you are angry, but don't come at me."

The city lord turned cold, "I'm not the only city lord, why should I be responsible for what the predecessor failed to do?"

"Then tell me, who is your ex? I'll go find him now!"

A Li thought about it too, instead of looking for the city lord, it would be more straightforward to find the person involved.

"I can't say that."

The mayor shook his head.

"Ok?"

A Li was stunned: "What are you afraid of? Since you dare to see me, are you afraid that others will know?"

"Where did I think you came here for revenge?"

The city lord smiled wryly and said, "It was kind of me to see you."

"Even if you don't tell me, I can find out if I go outside to inquire about it, because it's not a secret at all."

A Li said: "But I have already entered the city lord's mansion, and others will think you said it, so is there any difference if you say it or not? Are you still offending me for no reason?"

"Okay, I'll tell you."

The city lord shook his head helplessly, "My predecessor has already been promoted, and he is now the mansion lord of Qingnan Mansion."

"Qingnan Prefecture?"

Ah Li then asked: "What's his name?"

"His name is Renault!"

The city lord stood up, "Okay, you two, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you."

"Then let's go?"

Ah Li glanced at Lu Qingfan.

"Let's go, it's not like we can't come back."

Lu Qingfan also stood up, "If someone dares to take advantage of us, then we will kill them next time."

"good."

Ah Li glared at the city owner, "Don't be clever, or you will be the one who is unlucky!"

The city lord's expression changed in an instant, "I'm kind enough to help you, but you actually talk like that? Do you really think I have a good temper?"

"gone."

Lu Qingfan was too lazy to listen to this person's talk, so he talked about Ah Li.

"Ah."

A Li followed behind Lu Qingfan and walked out.

"Humph!"

Seeing the two walking away, the city lord snorted coldly, his face full of anger.

"You said he might use us?"

Ah Li looked at Lu Qingfan puzzled.

"I always feel that this person's words are too empty, either he is perfunctory you, or he has ulterior motives."

Lu Qingfan thought for a while and said, "But I always feel that something is wrong with him involving the previous city lord."

"Yes, if he knows it, he knows it, and if he doesn't know it, he says he doesn't know it."

Once Ah Li was reminded, he also had doubts in his heart, "But he took the initiative to mention the previous city lord, which is indeed a bit suspicious. I don't believe that he has such good intentions, just to help me."

"If he really wants to help you, he won't tell you anything."

Lu Qingfan said: "Because he knows that the opponent is strong, and you can't find out the truth, that's the best ending for you."

"Makes sense."

The two chatted while walking, and left the City Lord's Mansion.

Qingnan City, in the northwest of Shenlin City, is more than 200 miles apart.

This is a prefecture city, much larger than Shenlin City.

With the blue bird as a mount, it only took a moment for Lu Qingfan and A Li to arrive at Qingnan City.

After inquiring all the way, the two found Renault's residence.

Tall houses, heavy gates.

In front of the gate is a spacious street, and there are eight soldiers standing guard at the gate.

There is only this one family in the whole street.

Lu Qingfan and Ah Li slowly approached the gate.

"stop!"

The soldiers were far away, so they had to stop them.

But the two of them ignored it and continued to move forward.

"Who are you two? What are you here for?"

Eight soldiers stepped forward together and surrounded Lu Qingfan and A Li.

"We have something important to do with the Palace Master. You should go and report it quickly. Just say that Su Zhaoshu's granddaughter is here to visit."

Ah Li waved his hand, "Go."

"Ok?"

Several soldiers froze for a moment, looked at each other, and did not dare to neglect.

"I'll go."

One of them ran in to report.

Not long after, he ran out again, "Our palace master said he didn't know you, see you!"

"what?"

A Li was a little surprised, and turned his head to look at Lu Qingfan.

"You can do whatever you want."

Lu Qingfan nodded to Ah Li.

"it is good."

Ah Li turned his head and looked at those soldiers, "Since he dare not see me, then I will go find him!"

After finishing speaking, Ah Li lifted his legs and left.

"stop!"

A few soldiers stopped in front of Ah Li, "How can you be presumptuous here?"

"roll!"

Ah Li didn't even move, and those people flew out.

"boom!"

Several people fell heavily to the ground, screaming again and again, and did not get up for a long time.

A Li continued to walk forward, and Lu Qingfan followed behind her.

When the two were about to reach the door, a group of people suddenly came out from the door and stopped them.

"What are you going to do?"

"Go away!"

Ah Li waved his hand lightly, and the few people who stopped in front of her suddenly flew out.

She kept walking, and people kept flying out.

"boom!"

This group of people fell to the ground one after another, making screams.

After a while, all the people standing in front of Ah Li fell to the ground.

A Li and Lu Qingfan entered the gate of the mansion and came to the courtyard.

"Who? Dare to break into the house?"

Dozens of soldiers surrounded them.

"Let Renault come to see me!"

Ah Li said coldly: "If he doesn't come out again, don't blame me for being rude."

"You are so brave!"

The leader was an officer, he glared at A Li, "You also called the mansion master's name directly?"

"roll!"

A Li didn't want to say much, so he walked away.

"Take her!"

The officer waved his hand, and the soldiers rushed forward.

Ah Li didn't care about it, and continued to walk forward.

Before the soldiers got close to her, they had already flown out.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Dozens of soldiers fell to the ground one after another, making a series of screams.

For a moment, the dust was flying.

The officer was so frightened that he stood there for a while, then turned around and ran away.

Ah Li didn't stop him, knowing that he was going to report.

Then wait here.

A Li and Lu Qingfan stood side by side, waiting quietly.

The soldiers got up from the ground and stood far away, not daring to take half a step forward.

And the soldiers at the gate were also far away, afraid to come over.

"Who dares to be so presumptuous?"

With a loud shout, there were bursts of hurried footsteps ahead.

A middle-aged man came angrily.

Behind him was a group of soldiers, hundreds of them!
These soldiers carried bows and arrows on their backs and had long knives hanging from their waists.

The middle-aged man approached and waved his hands behind him, "Surround!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers agreed, dispersed and stood in a circle, surrounding Lu Qingfan and A Li.

They took off their bows, put on their arrows, and pointed the black arrows at A Li and Lu Qingfan.
