The female partner of the online game invades the city

Chapter 97 Discovery
"The NPCs in the small town are very afraid of King Locke. They never walk around on the street for nothing, and they will automatically hide when they see strangers. I can't talk to them at all, and I can't ask where the prison is." Yan Yan Na frowned, looking frustrated.

"It's not urgent, Chi Baijin should be careful. Then how did you meet Leo?" Qianye Xue was a little surprised, there were indeed not many NPCs on the street just now.

"King Locke recently increased his demand for weapons, and Leo was short of manpower. He happened to meet me and brought me back."

"It seems that he also knows that there is going to be a tough battle."

"Who says it's not? The spies are probably here for you." Yan Na squinted at Qianye Xue.

"Assassination and spies again, this system is really realistic!" Tianya prodigal son said with emotion.Seeing that there were no clues, Qianye Xue decided to go out to investigate in person, "You guys go help Leo in the afternoon, I'll go out and have a look." The streets were gray and dilapidated, and the dilapidated shops were either locked or posted. Sealed.

The whole street was unusually desolate and deserted, only the "huhu" north wind howled and raged, rolling up waves of dust.

"Ahem!" Qianyexue wrapped her clothes in one hand and covered herself with the other, and suddenly felt that she was under a lot of pressure.

"Tata... Tata..." Qianyexue heard footsteps, turned her head immediately, found that it was officers and soldiers, and hurriedly hid aside.The officers and soldiers ran past her without any reaction, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"Boom!" Suddenly, Qianye Xue heard a slight movement, and immediately looked, but only had time to see the corner of the clothes, and was blocked by the door.Qianye Xue frowned and continued to walk forward.

"This old man..."

"Don't...don't talk to me!" The old man's voice trembled slightly, and he staggered forward.

"This lady..."

"Ah!... I'm innocent, don't hurt me!"

"This……"

"I do not know you!"

"You were dragging me, are you a spy!"...

"Hoohoo!" Qianyexue bent over, gasping for breath.She wandered on the street for more than an hour, but she still didn't catch a single person.Suddenly, Qianye Xue felt a pair of eyes staring at her behind her, and couldn't help being a little excited.

Qianye Xue took a few steps forward, and felt the owner of those eyes follow.Qianye Xue led the man into an empty alley and hid.

"Hey, it turned out to be a kid!" Qianyexue rolled her eyes, she thought she would encounter some clues, but a four or five-year-old kid appeared for nothing, so there should be a follow up!Qianye Xue glanced at the little boy who was looking around, and slowly came out of the hiding place.Even so, the little boy was still jumped by Qianye Xue.

"Hi, my name is Qianye. What's your name? Why are you following me?" Qianye Xue squatted down, just about the same height as the little boy.Qianye Xue once heard that this posture is easier for children to accept, because it makes them feel respected.

The boy looked at the height between himself and Qianye Xue, and said in satisfaction, but he didn't answer Qianye Xue's question, "They won't tell you."

"Why?" Qianyexue was a little surprised, this kid only knew about it when he was old.

"Hmph, because they are very timid!" The boy mocked, his expression was a bit like an adult, Qianye Xue frowned, and couldn't help but doubt the boy's real age.However, this is not the point, Qianye Xue narrowed her eyes, "Then are you brave?"

"Of course!" The little boy nodded vigorously, as if afraid that Qianye Xue would not believe it.

"Since you are so brave, why don't you tell me what happened?"

"The town will soon have a new mayor!" The little boy said mysteriously.

"Well, really?" Qianye Xue asked in feigned surprise.

"Of course, King Locke is about to fall!" The little boy looked at Qianye Xue triumphantly, "Did you see that, they dare not say it, but I dare to say it!" It was brave to say this, hey, she shouldn't have expected anything, thought it was a clue, but it turned out... Forget it, don't want to.

Although Qianye Xue was a little disappointed, she still pretended to look at the little boy with admiration, "You are so brave!"

"Zach, you're talking nonsense to me again, and you still don't come back!" A sudden roar made Qianye Xue startled.I saw an old man over sixty years old, holding a stick in his hand, slapping the ground back and forth, walking slowly towards Qianye Xue and the others.Obviously, the old man has a problem with his eyes.

"Grandma..." The boy trembled all over and let out a low cry, not daring to speak again.

"I still don't forget to go home!" The old man looked annoyed.

"Yes!" The little boy said stiffly, and immediately ran away.

"Oh!"

"Who are you?" The old man knocked heavily on the ground as a warning.

"I'm a helper at the blacksmith shop in the west of the city."

"Help? The blacksmith shop shouldn't be closed at this point!" The old man looked disdainful.

"Indeed, I asked for leave and wanted to come out and ask some questions."

"Then induce a five-year-old child?" the old man said coldly.

"Uh..." Qianye Xue choked, it was really difficult to answer this question.

"Okay, I don't want to pursue anything, you can do it yourself." The old man waved his hand and turned to leave.

"Old man, wait a minute, I have no malicious intentions." Qianyexue finally met someone who started a conversation with her, even if she pestered her to death, she still had to ask for some clues.

"If you dare to play tricks, I will report to the police immediately."

"Uh..." It's really not oily.Qianye Xue had no choice but to follow the old man.

At this time, Qianye Xue was extremely grateful to the system for allowing her to meet an npc with no abilities.Soon, Qianye Xue saw a wooden house. This wooden house was independent. There was a yard in front of it. There was a piece of land in the yard, all of which were black stakes. It seemed that they were planted trees before.

The courtyard is surrounded by an earthen wall, which is badly damaged.The gate was made of wood with a rotten bottom and leaned crookedly to one side.

"Hey, have you had enough!" The old man stopped in his tracks with an angry look on his face.

"Old man, I just want to ask a few questions. I'll leave after I'm done!" "I don't know anything, you're looking for the wrong person." The old man immediately quickened his pace, pushed open the wooden door, walked in, and quickly closed the wooden door.At this moment, the little boy is looking out from the window of the house, and he still has a good impression of the qualified and beautiful sister.Seeing this, Qianyexue pushed open the wooden door bravely, and entered without invitation.

"You...how did you come in?" The old man looked at Qianye Xue with a look of surprise. Although he was blind, he still accurately located Qianye Xue.

"Push the door and come in!" Qianye Xue was a little surprised.

"No...Impossible! Unless...Could it be...Could it be...You...You are the acting mayor!" Suddenly, my mood fluctuated greatly, and I finished a sentence intermittently.

"How did you know?" Qianye Xue was surprised. Didn't Mu Mian tell her that no one would find out?
"Indigenous people's houses are restricted, unless invited by the owner, or someone with a relatively high status, they can freely enter and exit."

"So that's how it is!" Qianye Xue nodded, no wonder she didn't realize that they were led in by Leo, so naturally she didn't think so much.

"Since you know my identity, you have two choices, one is to report me, the other is to let me in." Qianye Xue blinked and looked at the old man with burning eyes.She was betting that the old man would let her in.The old man frowned and made a decision in an instant.

"Hush, keep your voice down, let's talk in the house." The old man looked around vigilantly, and brought Qianye Xue into the house.When Qianye Xue passed by the yard, she suddenly saw a few twigs sprouting from a charred stump, and immediately felt that the yard had been upgraded a bit.

Qianye Xue frowned, why did she feel that this twig was so familiar!She was sure she had seen this plant before, and recently, but couldn't recall it.She had a hunch that she was getting closer to the truth.

"Acting mayor, please hurry up!" Knowing Qianye Xue's identity, the old man immediately became very respectful.

"Don't be polite to me, just call me Chiba!"

"Okay, Mayor Qianye." Khan, Qianyexue's face was covered with black lines. As expected of a town, the words he said were exactly the same. Not long ago, the craftsman Youta Weijin also called it that way.Qianye Xue took a closer look at the room, and suddenly there was a plant embroidered on the corner of the tablecloth, which I couldn't see unless I was not careful.

Qianye Xue took a closer look at the plant in the corner of the tablecloth, and found that it was exactly the same as the plant outside. It seemed that the family liked this plant very much.If you like this plant so much, why burn it?
Qianye Xue couldn't figure it out, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter with the charred wooden pile outside? It looks familiar, but it is... wait, that's right, it's it, that plant is kapok, kapok Is the tree right?" Qianye Xue looked excited, but she didn't expect her to remember it at a critical moment.

No wonder she felt so familiar, she had seen it on Prince Locke's coffin before, is there any connection between this?The old man was surprised, she never thought that the mayor, who was so eager, would recognize these trees at a glance.

They don't know whether to be happy or to be good. Although they are eager for someone to change the status quo, they are afraid of change. After all, no one knows whether the acting mayor in front of them will be like King Locke?Rather than saying that Qianye Xue was gambling, the old man was actually gambling too.

"It's a kapok tree!" The old man's face instantly became ferocious, full of hatred.

"As far as I know, Prince Locke likes kapok very much?" Qianye Xue frowned, and tried in a low voice. Now the old man's mood is very unstable.

"How did Mayor Qianye know?" The old man slowly calmed down, but Qianye Xue still felt the hostility in her body.

"We once went to the Rock clan mausoleum, and found that the coffin of Prince Locke was carved with kapok trees." Qianye Xue stared at the old man's face carefully, her eyes flickering slightly.

"Is Prince Locke... okay?" The old man's lips trembled slightly, and his face was a little guilty.

"Didn't Prince Locke die of serious injuries back then?" Qianye Xue asked intentionally, with the corners of her mouth curled up.When Prince Locke was just mentioned, she dared to conclude that this person must have something to do with Prince Locke.

"Yes... yes, he is already dead!" The old man was a little nervous, and he hesitated in speaking.Qianye Xue frowned, looked at the old man suspiciously, and mentioned Prince Locke, why was she guilty?

Even if it can be heard from her voice that she has a deep relationship with Prince Locke, but Prince Locke has been dead for a hundred years, and no matter how deep the relationship is, it will fade.Unless... Qianye Xue squinted her eyes, and instantly understood, "From your tone, you seem to be very familiar with Prince Locke?"

"Actually..." The old man opened his mouth and decided to tell the truth, "My grandmother was Prince Locke's nanny, and we lived in the Locke family mansion before. My mother is as old as Prince Locke, and the two grew up together. brother and sister.

Later, my mother married my father and lived here, and soon my brother and I were born.Although my mother is married, Prince Locke still visits his mother often, and loves our brothers and sisters even more.Although people outside have a bad opinion of Prince Locke, he is the person I admire and respect the most.

Prince Locke loves the kapok tree very much and often regards himself as a kapok tree.Therefore, the mother planted kapok in the yard to commemorate the brother-sister relationship between her and Prince Locke.After my mother passed away, my brother and sister took care of me.Until the death of Prince Locke, this kapok ceased to exist. "

"You guys burned it yourself?" Qianye Xue raised her eyebrows.

"how is this possible?"

"Hmph, that illegitimate son is ambitious, and has been coveting everything Prince Locke has. After usurping the throne, he began to eradicate dissidents. We were the first to bear the brunt. All the families that planted kapok trees were killed, and their deaths were miserable." The old man said here, with a look of indignation .Khan, mighty enough!Qianye Xue couldn't help giving the old man a thumbs up.

In fact, Qianye Xue really wanted to ask how these people died, but seeing the excitement of the old man, she restrained herself.However, this problem was quickly resolved, and the old man said self-consciously, "My father died early, and not long after Prince Locke died, my mother also went.

On the day my mother was buried in the coffin, this damn illegitimate son broke in with a large number of people, tied my brother and sister-in-law to the kapok tree, and set fire to them together with my mother's body.I still vaguely remember the shouts of my brother and sister-in-law in the fire! "The old man said here, with tears streaming down his face.

Qianye Xue frowned, this King Locke is really not a thing, even a dead person will not be spared.All those who planted kapok trees were killed. It can be seen that there must be wailing everywhere at that time. King Locke is really not a little cruel.Seeing that it was getting late, Qianyexue comforted the old man and left.

She still has a lot of things to confirm, but she has to wait for Chi Baijin to come back.Hey, it was said that Cao Cao will be there when he arrives at Cao Cao, Qianyexue was still talking about Chi Baijin one moment, and saw Chi Baijin at the gate of Leo the next moment.

At this moment, Chi Baijin was standing against a man in black, Qianyexue couldn't see his face clearly, "Who is this?"

"Take him in!" Chi Baijin frowned, and was about to push the person on him to Qianye Xue, when he suddenly regretted it, and immediately repented, "I'll do it myself!".Although this person is an npc, he cannot contact his family, Axue.

"Uh..." Qianyexue rolled her eyes, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and immediately stepped forward to knock on the door, asking Leo to put Chi Baijin in, and reassured Leo again and again as a matter of course.This man is really timid, not a little bit worse than that old man.
