Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

In Fengling City, in a quiet courtyard in the city lord's palace, the lights were brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

now.

A servant hurriedly walked into the small courtyard, bowed respectfully to the room, and said: "Lord City Lord, someone sent a message saying that His Highness King Chen has sent warriors here again. And in the past few days, Maybe they will come to the City Lord’s Mansion to gather information, so that we can prepare in advance.”

The lights in the room shone, reflecting a figure on the window.

The man seemed to be sitting in front of the candlelight reading a book. He said softly: "I know, let's deal with it the same way as before."

"Yes, I understand." The servant responded.

…

After Lin Bai sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion, he carefully avoided all the magic circles, soldiers, and servants in the City Lord's Mansion, and wandered around the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion is quite large, with thousands of buildings and hundreds of small courtyards. It is not easy to find some usable information.

Moreover, Lin Bai was not a warrior from the Zhaoxing Division. Lin Bai was completely unaware of their set of professional skills.

Fortunately, Bao Heng mentioned that he had prepared a map of Fengling City for Lin Bai and others, which included a map of the city lord's palace.

Lin Bai took out the map and glanced at it, memorizing the major buildings in the city lord's palace in his mind, looking for the path, and moved forward.

Not long after.

Lin Bai then came to the small study courtyard in the city lord's mansion.

Falling outside the courtyard, Lin Bai looked into the small courtyard in the dark and saw the lights inside the house flickering, and a figure reflected in the window by the lights.

The man was reading a book with great interest, very absorbed in it.

"Is it Luo Cong?"

Lin Bai shrank his eyes, with a solemn look on his face.

According to the markings on the map, this place should be the study room in the city lord's palace.

Apart from Luo Cong, Lin Bai really couldn't think of anyone else who could sit in the study room of the City Lord's Mansion and read.

Lin Bai quietly looked outside the yard for a while and found Luo Cong sitting by the window, motionless, concentrating on reading.

Until late at night, I never left the study.

Lin Bai originally wanted to wait for Luo Cong to leave and then enter the study to find some useful information, but now it seems that Luo Cong will not rest for a while.

In the end, Lin Bai felt that too much time was wasted not in the study, so he turned around and left to find other hidden places.

After leaving the study area, Lin Bai avoided the patrols of several groups of soldiers and jumped back and forth on the roof of the City Lord's Mansion, searching for information in the City Lord's Mansion.

Sudden.

Lin Bai saw a flower-like woman in a corridor on the west side of the city lord's palace, holding a white puppy in her arms, and walking angrily in one direction with a group of servants.

"Is she Luo Cong's wife?"

But Lin Bai was very surprised. This woman behaved rudely, her eyes were evil, and she had a look of joy and anger on her face. She didn't look like a legitimate daughter from the Chen family in the imperial capital.

The Chen family in the imperial capital is one of the five families and seven sects.

Even the Chu family is considered a big family. Is this the true daughter of the Chen family?

Out of curiosity, Lin Bai followed, keeping his distance.

If this person is really Luo Cong's wife, as Luo Cong's pillow, she might know something about Luo Cong.

Lin Bai couldn't break a hole from Luo Cong, but he might be able to find an opportunity in the hands of Mrs. Luo Cong.

Lin Bai followed the woman all the way to a simple courtyard.

This small courtyard seemed to have not been repaired for a long time. It was covered with weeds and the door was half ruined. There was only a dim light in the house in the courtyard, swaying in the wind.

It is really surprising to find such a shabby little courtyard in this magnificent city lord's palace.

Lin Bai saw the woman angrily walking into the small courtyard with more than twenty servants.

Immediately afterwards, the woman started yelling: "Okay, you bitch, my aunt gave you dog food with good intentions, but you still don't eat it, you are really shameless!"

After Lin Bai activated the Shura Dharma Eye, every move in the small courtyard appeared clearly in Lin Bai's eyes.

I saw the woman rush into the house, pull out a thin woman wearing coarse linen clothes, with a sallow complexion, and throw her to the ground.

"Woof woof..." The puppy in the woman's arms barked viciously at the woman on the ground.

"Ah!" The woman fell to the ground and punched the ground with her hands. Her palms were cut and blood flowed out.

When Lin Bai saw this, he was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself: "He is actually a mortal?"

"wrong!"

Lin Bai originally thought that the woman was a mortal who didn't know how to practice, but when he thought about it carefully, how could a mortal live in the lord's palace of Fengling City?

Moreover, it also has an independent small courtyard. Even if the small courtyard is in dilapidated condition, the small courtyard belongs to the city lord's mansion after all.

Under the attention of Shura Dharma Eye, Lin Bai discovered the secret of the woman. Her meridians and Dantian were shattered. It was obvious that someone had deliberately destroyed her cultivation and strength.

"Her cultivation has been ruined."

Lin Bai's eyes narrowed, and now he still didn't know who this woman was.

However, although this woman is now extremely thin and has lost her human shape, judging from her facial features and appearance, she should once have been a rare beauty in the world.

At least the beauty is superior to that woman.

"Someone, bring the dog food up and let her eat it!"

The gorgeous lady held the puppy and said with a sneer.

Immediately, a servant came up and placed a bowl of dog food in front of the woman.

The woman smiled coldly and said: "You can kill people with just a nod, why do you need to humiliate me like this! You have got everything you want. You have become the wife of the city lord, got Luo Cong, and gained power. Isn't that enough?" ?”

"I don't want to argue with you anymore, now I just want to die quickly."

The woman sneered and said, "Humph, if I let you die so easily, wouldn't it be too easy on you?"

"Don't forget who you are. You are a direct descendant of the Chen family in the imperial capital. You are the direct daughter of the Chen family. You are a beauty who was famous in the imperial capital thousands of years ago."

"I can't bear to let you die. When the Holy Cult's plan succeeds and Luo Cong keeps you for no longer use, I will sell you to a clearance house. I will definitely get a good price."

"Now, please eat these dog food obediently!"

Naturally, the woman was unwilling to eat. The woman snorted coldly, and the servants on her left and right came forward, held the woman's arms, pinched her chin, forced her to open her mouth, and poured a bowl of dog food into her mouth.

Afterwards, the woman hugged the puppy, laughed triumphantly, and strode away with her: "Seeing how happy you are eating, I will feed you every day from now on, hahaha!"

The lady's wild laughter echoed in the secluded courtyard.

After the lady left with her servants, the woman who was slumped in the small courtyard stood up from the ground and looked up at the bright moon in the sky, tears streaming from her eyes.

"It turns out that she is Luo Cong's wife!"

Lin Bai gave a bitter smile. The direct lineage of the Chen family in the imperial capital was respected in Chu State no matter where they went.

Even if there are five families and seven sects, they still have to show courtesy.

But this direct daughter of the Chen family obviously didn't do well.

After the lady left with her servants, Lin Bai wanted to leave, but before leaving, Lin Bai suddenly thought of something and looked back at the small courtyard.

The woman in the small courtyard limped into the house, dragging her body.

In the dim night, her sobs could be vaguely heard in the flickering candlelight.

Wow...

A gust of cold wind blew through the courtyard, and Lin Bai appeared outside the house and whispered: "How did the legitimate daughter of the Chen family in the imperial capital end up in such a situation?"

"Who?" Upon hearing the voice, the woman in the room became alert and shouted coldly.
