Chapter 385 It's Not That Simple

Lu Mo looked at the very calm city lord sitting across from him. This man with a calm face and resolute eyes seemed as if what he told Lu Mo just now was not a matter of life and death, but a chat and joke that had nothing to do with him.The calmness of the city lord at this time made Lu Mo sure that the previous decision of the city lord was not just for fun.Just counting the time, Xichen will be back soon, and when Xichen asks, Lu Mo really doesn't know how to answer.

"Looking at the anxious expression on your face, it seems that you are afraid that you will not be easy to explain when Xichen comes back?"

The city lord looked at Lu Mo, who was a little impatient, and even laughed a few words in interest. He didn't look like a person who had just decided his own death.Lu Mo looked at the city lord with a playful face, and really didn't know whether to say that he was not afraid of death, or that he had too much heart.

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it freely when she comes back, but you, please don't let me know."

The city lord looked as if he was in control, and he didn't forget to tell Lu Mo not to talk too much.Then the city lord changed his posture very comfortably, and the whole person sank into the sofa.Lu Mo glanced at the city lord and didn't say anything. He wanted to see if there was any way for the city lord to dispel Xichen's doubts when Xichen came back.

Sure enough, Xichen came back after a while, still holding a lot of things in her hands, presumably they were left for her by Lianyou.As soon as Xichen came back, he stared at Lu Mo. At this time, Xichen's voice kept ringing in Lu Mo's consciousness.Lu Mo gritted his teeth, even though Xichen blew his head off through the soul connection, he still didn't respond at all.

"Okay, Xichen is back too, we can continue. Just now we were talking about asking you to organize a group of people. I want you and Xichen to take these people to the new city..."

The city lord deliberately waited for a while after Xichen came back. Xichen really tried to inquire with Lu Mo, but Lu Mo didn't respond to Xichen. Xichen frowned and looked unhappy.After watching the excitement for a while, the city lord opened his mouth to rescue Lu Mo.Now that the city lord spoke up, Xichen naturally couldn't care about Lu Mo.Lu Mo glanced at the city lord on the opposite side, and it seemed that he could only follow his words later.

The city lord's rhetoric was very uninspiring, and it was similar to what Lu Mo heard from Xichen.It's just that this time the city lord asked them to organize their manpower, but instead of letting them lead the team to fight the Dragon Clan, Lu Mo and Xichen led people to the new city.Lu Mo knew that in the city lord's plan, Lu Mo and Xichen's roles this time were the ones who ignited the big gun battle of Sin City.

"But how can we go to Xincheng? We..."

"You don't have to worry about this matter, you just need to recruit people, and there will naturally be a chance for you to act. I just say that this plan is very important, so you must not be careless, when the time comes..."

The city lord asked Lu Mo and Xichen to call people first, and there will naturally be a time for them to act. Moreover, the city lord did not inform them of the purpose of Lu Mo and Xichen's actions in the new city this time, but told them to call people as soon as possible. It's best to find someone you can trust.Although Lu Mo and Xichen didn't know the intention of the city lord, they could only agree to it at this time.

It was already evening when Lu Mo and Xichen walked out of the city lord's mansion after a deal had been agreed upon.Xichen was holding a bunch of things that Lianyou had left for her, while Lu Mo had a bunch of doubts.After Lu Mo and Xichen walked out, they didn't even communicate a word. They walked towards the aboriginal area in tacit understanding, and they didn't intend to communicate at all along the way.

"Lu Mo, what do you think of today's events?"

Lu Mo and Xichen didn't have any communication along the way, until they came to the front door of Xichen's house, and Xichen took the lead to ask a question.Lu Mo didn't answer Xichen's question, but looked around vigilantly before following Xichen into the door.

"not that simple."

Lu Mo's answer was very simple, but the matter was indeed as Lu Mo said, not that simple.Xichen nodded half-understood, put down all the things in her hands, and quickly ran to the window with a few quick steps.Due to years of disrepair, the window had already been damaged, so Xichen poked her head out quietly to look around.Lu Mo looked at her with a question mark on his face, completely confused about what Xi Chen was doing.

"what are you doing?"

"Of course it's to see if anyone is watching. Didn't you also check when you came in just now? On the way we came back just now..."

When Lu Mo heard Xichen say that someone was following him on the road just now, Lu Mo immediately rushed to the window vigilantly.In fact, Lu Mo looked around when he entered the door just now, just out of a special response to the recent situation.Unexpectedly, Xichen actually found out that someone was following them. It seemed that he was taking things too seriously along the way.

"You just said that things are not that simple, what do you mean?"

"Ah? Oh, think about it, the plan that the city lord said, and the fact that he wants us to go to the new city, that's just a casual talk. And..."

Lu Mo and Xichen were sure that there was no one watching them outside, or they were too far away to find them, so they simply leaned against the window to pay attention to the situation outside, while continuing the topic they just said.Obviously, the meaning of Lu Mo's words was not fully understood. Lu Mo only said that the task was too difficult for the two of them to complete easily. As for the deeper meaning, Lu Mo thought about it and did not mention it.

What Lu Mo failed to say was of course related to what the city lord said.Lu Mo always felt that things were not that simple. Lu Mo really understood the city lord's scheming.And the fact that the city lord got rid of Lu Mo made Lu Mo even more convinced that the whole thing was definitely not that simple.It seems that it is better for Lu Mo not to act rashly now. In a few days, it will be the day of routine replenishment, and there should be a turning point when Xianer's message is sent.

"Wow... it turned out to be this thing, sister Xichen actually left it to me."

Lu Mo still stayed by the window to observe the situation outside, but Xi Chen ran away without knowing when.At this time, Xichen's exclamation suddenly came out, and Lu Mo was shocked suddenly, and turned around to check.In the end, I saw Xichen spreading the things left by Lianyou all over the floor, and now she was holding a small and exquisite music box and giggling there.

"Hey, what are you making such a fuss about? You startled me."

"Why didn't I see you jumping up? Cut... look, she's pretty, and she can make a nice voice. Sister Lianyou specially left it for me. I didn't expect her to think of me so much even after she died. It's really... ..."

"Wait, what did you say? You said that these things were specially left for you by Lianyou? She wasn't..."

"Uh... Anyway, I think these things are specially reserved for me. You see, this, this, and that, and... are all things I like, and I gave them to sister Lianyou before. Things seem to be gone..."

Xichen herself was stunned as she spoke, obviously she also found out where the problem was.The things Xichen brought back that used to belong to Lianyou should be regarded as Lianyou's relics according to common sense, but these relics left by Lianyou are all in line with Xichen's wishes, which seems a bit too strange.The things that Lianyou left behind seemed like they were specially left for Xichen.

Lianyou's cause of death in the corps files was death in battle, but she deliberately left relics that fit Xichen's wishes, and according to what Xichen said just now, she didn't find any of the things that Xichen gave to Lianyou.Death on the battlefield is an accidental death. Poor You seems to know when she will die. She not only left her favorite things for Xichen, but also packed away all the things Xichen gave her. This is really surprising.

"Lu Mo... You said that sister Lianyou..."

"Perhaps. Anyway, I think she either cheated her death or was killed by someone. It must not be suicide."

Under what circumstances would a person be able to know exactly when he died?It must be deciding when to die, or knowing when you will be killed.The possibility of Lianyou committing suicide can be completely ignored, so there is only fraudulent death, or being killed by others.Among these two possibilities, Lu Mo thinks it is obviously a fraudulent death.

"You said that if Sister Lianyou didn't die..."

"What I said, things are not that simple, maybe Lianyou also participated in the plan of the city lord?"

Xichen pondered for a while and nodded, based on her understanding of Lianyou, she also believed that this possibility was relatively high.Lianyou possesses two characteristics. Although she has limited abilities in the face of danger, she is definitely more than capable of protecting herself.Although the battlefield is full of accidents, it is still very easy for Poor You to escape with his life.Lianyou, the person who was the least likely to be killed in battle, was killed in a strange way.

"In addition to the things left by Lianyou, there are definitely things that can confirm my guess. Do you remember that when the city lord asked you to pick up these things, he said that Lianyou had something left for you. Pay attention to what he said. To you, not Lianyou's relic. I guess the city lord knows about it, and it is very likely that Lianyou's deceitful death was inspired by my disappearance..."

Lu Mo not only pointed out the flaws in the words of the city lord, but also used the time when he disappeared as an example to guess that there was a completely feasible death-deception scheme.Lu Mo was reported by Wang Wei and others that Lu Mo was missing from the Corps. Due to the particularity of the Doorbreaker Corps, assuming that Wang Wei and the others reported that they were killed in battle, it is estimated that Lu Mo did not return from missing this time, but changed it to resurrection.

"What you said is very reasonable... It seems that this matter is really not that simple."

"That's why I said there's no rush. In a few days it will be the day of routine supplies. I hope that Xian'er will send some useful news..."

"Snacks? Will Xian'er bring you some snacks?"

Lu Mo was at a loss for words when asked by Xichen, and Lu Mo didn't know what to say.It seems that Xichen, who also has a time difference with others, is the only one who doesn't need Lu Mo to re-acquaint.Lu Mo was really curious about whether Xian'er would bring snacks. She must have already received the news that Lu Mo and the others were gone.
