Chapter 181 City Lord’s Mansion
Chapter 181 City Lord’s Mansion
"Hmph~ Don't be naive. She is not as simple as you think. If you don't want the Far North Capital to disappear in the Cangming Continent, you should release her as soon as possible."
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng snorted coldly. If it weren’t for Wuyou, he wouldn’t care about his life or death.
Unfortunately, Hua Shian laughed uncontrollably as if he had heard a joke when he heard Gu Qingfeng's words. "Gu Qingfeng, oh Gu Qingfeng, you are a wealthy businessman who has traveled all over the world. I would like to ask Cangyue, Jialan, and Western Jin, which country does not want to take my Far North Capital into its possession? What happened in the end?"
"You won't tell me that she can only rely on the two men around her?"
Seeing that he was still so stubborn, Gu Qingfeng shook his head helplessly. He was so arrogant that he would be dealt with sooner or later. "I advise you to let her go. She is the only one who can..." save Wuyou, but he was interrupted by Hua Shian before he could finish his words.
"Okay, I don't want to hear your nonsense. Now that you know, you should stay in the City Lord's Mansion until those people leave."
After Hua Shian finished speaking, he set up a restraint and trapped Gu Qingfeng in the yard.
······
At this time, Lian Qingcheng also came back.
"Miss Lian, do you have any clues?" Qing Ling asked anxiously.
Lian Qingcheng shook her head. "By the way, haven't Qingchen and Qingfeng come back yet?"
"Oh, Young Master Ye went out to look for the young lady, and Young Master Gu said he went to the City Lord's Mansion to ask the City Lord for help." Qing Ling replied.
"City Lord's Mansion!" Yingyue and Fengche stood up at the same time, which really scared Qingling and Lian Qingcheng.
"You know that too?" Feng Che didn't expect Yingyue to have the same idea as him.
"Well~ We have searched all the capitals in the Far North, except for the City Lord's Mansion. And Qing Hu said before that the formation of the City Lord's Mansion can block everything." Yingyue said.
"Then let's set off now." Qing Ling said after hearing this. The young lady was in a coma when she was abducted, so it would be better to bring her back as soon as possible.
"The mayor of this Far North City is no simple man. He was able to kidnap Xiaojiu in front of two Spirit Lords. You two wait here. Yingyue and I will go check out the situation first." Feng Che pondered for a long time and spoke.
"But······"
"Qingling, listen to what Feng Che said." Yingyue interrupted her and said quietly, the city lord's strength should not be underestimated.
"Yes, Qingling, we just need to wait for them to come back in the inn. If we go there, we might hinder them." Even the powerful Qingcheng Spirit King did not dare to act rashly, let alone Qingling, a mere two-star great spiritual master.
After hearing this, Qing Ling didn't say anything more. Feng Che and Ying Yue disappeared in the inn. Feng Che's face, which always looked cheerful along the way, now looked terrifyingly gloomy, with a hint of bloodlust in his eyes. How dare someone snatch Xiao Jiu away in front of him?
Along the way, many guards were seen hanging up red lanterns, and the city lord's mansion was full of lanterns with the word "happiness" on them.
Feng Che and Ying Yue observed in the dark, looking puzzled.
"Auntie, who is getting married? It's such a big deal." Feng Che pulled an old lady over and asked.
"Oh, you don't know? The city lord is getting married tomorrow, and the whole city will hang up festive red lanterns. I won't tell you yet, I still have to go hang lanterns!"
After the old lady finished speaking, without waiting for Feng Che to say anything, she turned around and left with the lantern, smiling.
Feng Che glanced at the City Lord's Mansion not far away and fell into deep thought. Could it be...
Finally, they returned to the inn together with Yingyue. They did not forget that there was a formation on the City Lord's Mansion. After several people discussed together, they decided to wait for the City Lord to get married tomorrow and then find an opportunity to enter the City Lord's Mansion.
Early in the morning.
The capital of the Far North is extremely lively today, and the area around the City Lord's Mansion is packed with people, almost all of whom want to see who they are to catch the eye of the City Lord.
At this time, Hua Shian was standing beside the bed, looking at the sleeping Ji Jiuying, as if he was appreciating a beautiful painting and could not see enough of it.
"Someone, help her change into the wedding dress." Several maids came in from the door one after another. After Hua Shian went out, several maids looked up at Ji Jiuying who was sleeping peacefully.
No wonder the city lord wanted to hold the wedding in such a hurry. Such a beautiful woman, without any makeup, looks like a fairy. If she put on this wedding dress and put on a little makeup, not to mention that the city lord would like her, everyone would want to hide her.
But they had never seen this woman before, so they didn't dare to ask too much.
Soon, the maids helped Ji Jiuying dress up. In the hall, the stunning beauty was lying on the soft couch, wearing a red embroidered wedding dress. The fiery red color was eye-catching and outlined her slender waist.
The pale little face was peaceful, with cherry lips and a beautiful nose, and a touch of red lotus between the eyebrows, which made her look more charming and seductive. She was so beautiful that people could not help but stare at her.
······
In the crowd, several people stared at the City Lord's Mansion with sharp eyes.
Not long after, a man in a bright red groom's suit came out of the door. He had a purple jade and gold crown on his head, snow-white skin, ebony-black pupils, and handsome facial features like sculptures, with a slightly calculating look on his face.
"Everyone, today is the wedding day of this city lord. We invite all the villagers to come and support us." Hua Shian said with a smile, using his spiritual power to spread his voice.
"Congratulations, Lord Mayor!" The crowd suddenly shouted like a loud bell.
Afterwards, everyone entered the City Lord's Mansion. Feng Che and the others looked at each other and mixed in with the crowd, while Yingyue walked in another direction.
The moment he entered the City Lord's Mansion, he seemed to feel an extra restraint on his body. Feng Che tried to mobilize his spiritual power, but it didn't work.
Several people were observing the City Lord's Mansion. Qing Ling tugged at Feng Che's sleeve and said, "Master Feng San, did you notice that after we entered the City Lord's Mansion, not only did our spiritual power disappear, but our bodies also became warm?"
"Hmm~" Feng Che answered thoughtfully. This place is covered with snow all year round. Even the outer perimeter and roof of the City Lord's Mansion are covered with snow. And it is indeed warm inside. If it weren't for the snow outside, he would have doubted whether this was still the Far North Capital. It seems that the City Lord of this Far North Capital is indeed quite powerful.
"Uncle Ji, it won't be too late for us to go to Xingchen Academy after we go to see the city lord's wedding."
"Second Prince, we have been delayed in the snowy mountains long enough." The man named Uncle Ji said sternly.
The longer they delay, the more dangerous it will be. It was already bad enough that they had encountered three assassination attempts along the way.
"Just a look, just a look. Besides, there is no danger in the City Lord's Mansion." Jun Lintian pleaded.
Ever since he was taken away by Uncle Ji on the snowy mountain, he has not seen Ji Jiuying and the others again. He originally thought that they should have gone to the academy, but just now he seemed to have seen Xiaojiu's uncle entering the City Lord's Mansion in the crowd. Xiaojiu's uncle is still here, so Xiaojiu must be here too.
Xiaojiu was not the kind of person who liked to watch the fun. His intuition told him that something must have happened. He had only seen a few of them just now, but not Xiaojiu.
When Uncle Ji saw this, his heart softened and he agreed with him.
