Chapter 166: Exploring the City Lord ‘s Mansion
Translator: 549690339
In a small house in Shun City.
MO Xiu and Mu Qingyi had almost recovered, and the residents were about to return.
It was not good for the two of them to continue occupying this house. After all, the original owner might be coming back soon.
The two of them walked out of the house and took a deep breath at the same time.
He did not expect that this would be the situation when they met again.
In the short span of a single day, she had experienced life and death, accompanied by silence.
MO Xiu took out his phone and made a call.
“Uncle Yue, have you returned to Shun City?”
“I’m back. I’m investigating the Zhou family. Where are you? Are you coming over?”
“I’ve been in Shun City all this time. I’ll go over now. Wait for me!”
“Always in Shun City? You’re really something.”
Yue Long was a little surprised. He had thought that MO Xiu had run out of the city, but he had been hiding in Shun City.
MO Xiu summoned his giant sword and brought Mu Qingyi to the Zhou family’s residence very quickly.
When he reached the door, a few guards hurriedly stepped aside when they saw Mo Xiu.
MO Xiu and the others still knew him. As a member of the Yue Clan, how could they not know about this person who had changed the tide of the battle?
“Where is Uncle Yue?” MO Xiu asked one of them. Bring me there.”
This person didn’t dare to be negligent and immediately brought Moxiu to the main hall of the Zhou family villa.
MO Xiu immediately saw the father and son of the Yue Clan standing in the middle.
“Uncle Yue, Yue Yuan!”
When Yue Long saw MO Xiu, he immediately turned around to welcome him.
After this incident, Yue Long’s attitude towards MO Xiu changed. Originally, it was just a cooperative relationship.
Now, he admired this young man.
MO Xiu quickly walked two steps forward and waved his hand,””No need. What are you guys looking at?”
“I’ve sent people to search the entire Zhou family and found a lot of firearms,” said Yue Long.”
As he spoke, he saw a woman standing beside Moxiu. After thinking for a moment, he immediately reacted. Wasn’t this the person who had saved him yesterday?
Yue Long immediately said to Mu Qingyi,” Miss, I don’t need to thank you for saving my life. May I know your name so that I can repay you in the future?'”‘ Yue Yuan whispered into Yue Long’s ear.
Yue Long’s eyes were a little strange as he said, “So it’s the Mu Family’s Young
Lady. If you have any needs, just say it!'”‘
MO Xiu caught Yue Long’s gaze. Was there something strange about the Mu Clan?
Previously, MO Xiu had also found out that the Mu family was not a local. They had only lived there for a few years and could not find anything else.
However, MO Xiu thought that to be able to enter the cosmic cram school, it definitely wasn’t simple. He had to ask Yue Long when he had the time.
Mu Qingyi smiled appropriately.” Uncle Yue, you don’t have to thank me. I was only following MO Xiu’s orders back then. You should thank MO Xiu instead.'”‘
Yue Long was someone who could tell that the relationship between the two of them was not shallow the moment Mu Qingyi said that. He looked at MO Xiu with a knowing gaze.
MO Xiu returned to the main topic.
“Uncle Yue, you don’t have to be polite. I have to save you. Have you checked the firearms?”
Yue Long nodded and said,” There are some clues. Looking at the packaging and storage method of these firearms, they should have been stored for a long time. It’s very likely that they were left behind during the great war.”
“During the war?” Moxiu asked in surprise. That long?”
“Yes, the Alliance has banned firearms for so long. It’s impossible for anyone to create new ones.””
“Does that mean Qiu Qiming cooperated with the Zhou family because they have firearms?”
“That should be the case.” Yue Long nodded.”
Moxiu fell into deep thought. There were two questions that were difficult to explain.
The first question was, what was Qiu Qiming’s motive for starting this incident?
Army privately?
Why did he have to work with the Zhou family in such a thankless manner?
The second problem was that the Zhou family was originally a royal family. The royal family was the group of people who were the most opposed to firearms. Why did they hide firearms? If the Zhou Clan had it, did the other imperial clans have it?
Moreover, the royal family had not shown up in this incident. If any royal family had shown up and killed Qiu Qiming, there wouldn’t have been so much trouble.
No matter how much he thought about it, Moxiu still felt that he knew too little about the imperial clan and the matters during the great war.
After the investigation, everyone from the Zhou family set off for the City Lord’s Mansion.
That was the main point. Maybe he could find some useful information there.
The City Lord’s Mansion had already become a ruin.
First, it was cut in half by Moxiu, and then Demon Hawk King came out of the ground. Now, his original appearance could no longer be seen.
Yue Long’s thoughts were very fast. Since he couldn’t see anything on the surface, he ordered people to clear all the gravel and see the situation underground.
They had sufficient manpower, and many of them had used their skills. MO Xiu and Yue Long finished cleaning up while they were chatting.
The few of them walked over. It was a huge basement. Half of it had been destroyed because of the Demonic Eagle King breaking out of the ground, but the other half was still relatively intact.
After going down, he saw a shocking scene.
There was no Magic Falcon as he had imagined. Instead, it was a very large breeding farm. It was filled with breeding animals. It seemed that they were used to feed the Magic Falcons.
These animals were all very scary. Perhaps it was because they had not seen the sun for a long time. Some of the animals were even deformed.
After passing through this area, there was a huge cage. There were iron chains everywhere in the cage. This should be the place where the Magic Falcon was kept.
MO Xiu suddenly recalled his conversation with Gao Quan.
At that time, MO Xiu had asked if the Magic Hawk was kept in a basement. Gao Quan had asked if there was such a big basement.
The joke from before had actually come true. The Demon Hawk was really in the basement, the largest basement in the entire Shun City.
The few of them walked all the way to the innermost part, but they did not find anything else. There was not a single Demon Hawk left here.
Either the Demonic Falcons were in Yan City and were all killed by the Yan City Army, or Qiu Qiming took them away.
When they were about to return, Moxiu suddenly felt that the wall behind him was a little off. Compared to the other three walls, it seemed to be much thicker.
Just like… It was as if he was afraid of being opened.
“Wait!”
Yue Long, who had already walked a few meters away, turned back to look. MO Xiu and Mu Qingyi were still standing at the innermost corner.
“What’s wrong? Moxiu, did you find anything?”
MO Xiu stroked the wall with one hand and waved his other hand. “Uncle Yue, come and take a look. What material is this wall made of?”
Qiu Long walked back and said,” Oh, this is made of purple wood. This wood is extremely hard and can be used to make weapons and shields. Why is it so extravagant to put it here as a wall?'”‘
MO Xiu knocked on the door, and there was an empty sound inside.
MO Xiu and Yue Long looked at each other.
Yue Long said, “I’ll find someone to break this wall!””
“No need!”
MO Xiu took out the black Kirin and carefully inserted it into the wall.
Yue Long had long known that MO Xiu had a dagger that could cut through anything. It could also extend at will. The City Lord’s Estate was split open with it.
However, he did not expect that he could even easily cut through the purple wood.
MO Xiu carved out a hole the size of a person. After they entered, they realized that this was a secret room. The space wasn’t big, and there was only a coffin inside.
MO Xiu glanced at the few people in the room and pried open the coffin with his black kylin.
He worked together with Yue Yuan to open the lid of the coffin. There was only a corpse that was relatively well preserved inside.
MO Xiu couldn’t understand why an ordinary corpse would be hidden. It seemed like he definitely didn’t want anyone to find out.
Yue Long turned around a few times to examine it carefully. His body trembled a little and he almost fell down.
This was the first time MO Xiu had seen Yue Long acting so abnormally.
MO Xiu and Yue Yuan went forward to support Yue Long at the same time.
“Uncle Yue, what’s wrong?” MO Xiu asked. Was there anything strange about this corpse? Or rather…You know him?” Yue Long said after calming down.
“This is the true Lord of the city, Qiu Qiming!”
