C181 (2/2)
He didn't know what relationship this had with the piece of metal, but Su Li's prestige in the capital was very high. Since she said that she would cause thunder, then something must have happened.
The people below the city gate tower were in an uproar. After one of them threw out the iron sword in his hand, the others also threw out their own items.
Seeing that it was working, Su Li ran towards the direction of the city gate and shouted to Mo Lianjin who was still fighting, ”Delegation is more important, the matter of the competition can be pushed back a bit, the lightning is about to strike.”
Hearing that, Mo Lianjin did not have any hesitation, he blocked Luo Chuge's attack, nodded at him, and flew out of the circle.
Under his orders, the Imperial Guard encircled the envoys in the center. Following Su Li's method just now, the iron grade equipment were all temporarily placed a few metres away.
Luo Chuge clenched his teeth, he raised his head and looked at Su Li with a complicated gaze.
That woman …
Su Li was still standing on the city gate tower. Five minutes had passed, ten minutes had passed, and the lightning had not struck down yet.
Some of the commoners began to discuss in whispers.
”The methods used to solve the case and examine the corpse of Fourth Miss are not bad, but regarding the matter of the Celestial Phenomenon, only the Lord National Advisor would understand. Why would she come out to join in the excitement?”
”From what I see, she's bluffing.”
”It's good now, she disturbed the battle between Fifth Prince and the successor of Bei Yue, and was unable to determine the victor. Instead, she allowed Bei Yue to see such a huge joke.”
The discussions below grew louder and louder, and all kinds of doubtful words could be heard.
Some commoners simply picked up their belongings and did not believe that a thunderstorm would happen in such a sunny day.
Rumble …
A loud sound echoed out in the sky.
Whoosh. The white lightning quickly struck down, landing within the circle Luo Chuge drew. In that moment, dust rose up, and lightning lasted for a few seconds before fading away.
The commoners who just picked up the metal sheets were so scared that their faces turned white and they threw the items out again.
Immediately following that, the second bolt of lightning, the third bolt of lightning …
Without exception, they all landed within the circle.
Su Li wiped his sweat. It was so dangerous, if she didn't tell him to stop, and Mo Lianjin was wearing the armor of lightning, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Mo Lianjin stood at the side of the diplomatic mission and looked at the bolts of lightning descending from the sky.
After half an incense's time, the thunder stopped.
When the black clouds that covered the sky dispersed, there was yet another clear sky!
The citizens who believed in the theory of ghosts and gods all jumped in excitement.
Below the city gate.
The Imperial Guard that Mo Lianjin had brought dispersed, and he maintained his previous formation. He jumped onto his horse, and coldly looked at Luo Chuge.
After a moment of silence, he jumped onto his horse and said to Mo Lianjin, ”Just now, it was a whim of mine, so I wanted to spar with Fifth Prince. Entering the city is more important, I hope that Fifth Prince can lead the way.”
This was yielding, but also a retreat.
Mo Lianjin said coldly, without a hint of emotion, ”Please.”
The mission began to enter the city, and the people welcomed them.
Su Li was not in a hurry to get down the city walls. Instead, he waited for the diplomatic mission to leave and for the citizens to leave before following Stars Pet Chain Supermarket.
Qing Mu brought his people and waited for Su Li at the bottom of the city gate tower.
”Esteemed wangfei, the prince sent subordinates to wait here. He said that the wangfei would definitely give orders.”
Su Li heard and smiled.
When did she and he become so well-coordinated?
”Go and find some tools. I want you to dig out the place that was just struck by lightning …”
