Inside the city of Xi'an.

In an area where the families of the relevant units are staying, there are two people with guns standing at the door, and the roof of the small house next to it is covered with thick snow. Jiang Qingjiu drove the Liu family's car and stopped in front of the fence.

At this time, one of the middle-aged men with a gun came over, Jiang Qingjiu lowered the car window, and took out the pass handed to him by the senior monk of Xiangji Temple.

The middle-aged man bent over and took the pass and looked at it, then handed it back, stood up and made a gesture of letting go to the inside of the small house.

Watching the fence slowly retract to the side, Jiang Sake started the car and drove over.

The middle-aged man stood back at his post, and the man on the side asked, "People from the Liu family?"

The middle-aged man nodded and returned: "It should be, that pass is special, specially for that kind of person, okay, okay." Don't talk about it, do your job. “

The middle-aged man's voice was stern, and the younger man had to swallow back what he wanted to say.

......

Ginger Sake parked the car in the right place according to the route he had taken last time. When I came to the door of the bungalow again, I was not thinking about the encirclement and suppression back then, but thinking about how to inform He Lao about the current situation in Xi'an City.

Knocked on the door of the bungalow, like last time, there was a sound of footsteps, and then the door was opened, and it was a young man in a suit who opened the door, and the young man smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, the master has already said hello, I have been waiting for a long time, He Lao is inside, you come with me." ”

Following behind the young man, Jiang Qingjiu suddenly noticed that there was a person hiding in the garden behind the door, it should be a sniper or something, Liu Jiang had also warned that the rules in this, when you come in, you must have a guide, otherwise you will be killed after pushing the door, which is also to protect the people in power here.

The two walked for a while, and the young man pointed to the small western-style building in front of him and said, "Mr. Jiang, Mr. He is inside." ”

Jiang Qingjiu rang the doorbell in front of the small western-style building, but there was no response for a long time.

After a while, the door opened.

It was not Chu Xin'er who was disguised who opened the door, but He Lao, who was a little rickety, his eyes were still deeply sunken, and he smiled and said, "Comrade Xiao Jiang, let's talk about it inside." ”

After saying that, the old man turned around and walked towards the house, and Jiang Qingjiu had no choice but to follow him when he saw this.

He Lao brought a pot of hot drinks in the kitchen and poured two glasses. The two of them sat in front of the fireplace, the fire in the stove burning faintly, but also exuding bursts of warmth.

He Lao seemed to be preoccupied, put the hot drink on the table, took out a pack of cigarettes and asked, "Comrade Xiao Jiang, do you want one?"

Jiang Sake stretched out his hand and took one, and the two of them each lit a cigarette, took a puff, and puffed out a puff of smoke.

He Lao laughed and said, "You didn't smoke last time." “

"You know. Xi'an's famous scenic spot, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, was stolen! The terracotta warriors and horses were all emptied overnight. “

He Lao said that his mood was a little heavy, and he took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand, he was in charge here, and if there was such a problem, the imperial capital would definitely send someone to investigate, which made him feel a little deeply pressured.

Jiang Qingjiu didn't have any expression on his face, but he saw through the means of the big man in the imperial capital at a glance, but in this way, he could kill two birds with one stone, not only protecting those cultural relics, but also suppressing the He family, who had many political discords with them, which was really a good means!

"What did you find?" Jiang Qingjiu asked curiously.

He Lao shook his head, his mood was a little low,

"All the people on duty that day died unexpectedly, hey Comrade Xiao Jiang, do you think it could be done by a cultivator?"

Facing He Lao's whimsical inquiry, Jiang Qingjiu thought to himself, this is to push out all the responsibility, and return: "It's not that there is no such possibility, although some cultivators like money, but even if they take these terracotta warriors, I'm afraid they won't be able to sell them, after all, the popularity of this thing is too high, and it's a hot potato when you get there." “

He Lao sighed, but what the little comrade said made sense, although there are trading methods for reselling cultural relics in this world, but it is not worth it for cultivators to spend energy on these things, and the one who wants to come to the imperial capital should also be able to think of this, it seems that the woman who was arranged here in the first place was for this moment, and it was really a good means to weaken the power of my He family in the imperial capital!

He Lao glanced at Jiang Qingjiu interestingly and said, "Comrade Xiao Jiang knows what the identity of my nominal wife is. ”

Jiang Qingjiu pretended not to know and asked, "What is your identity?"

He Lao patted the cigarette ash on his hand, it seemed that Jiang Qingjiu didn't know that she was a member of the new organization, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about this." What is the important matter for you to come to me? The senior monk of Xiangji Temple told me on the phone, saying that Comrade Xiao Jiang has something important to discuss with me. “

Jiang Qingjiu also finished smoking the cigarette in his hand at this time, holding the cigarette butt, but he didn't see the ashtray.

"Thrown into the fire, I only have an ashtray at home, and in my study, it's rare to take it out. He Lao explained.

Jiang Qingjiu flicked the cigarette butt into the fire, and said seriously: "He Lao, I have to tell you about several major events that have happened recently, in view of the chaos in Ducheng, I hope you can be prepared to deal with it in advance." “

He Lao also sat up straight, with a look of willingness to hear the details, and said, "You say." “

Jiang Qingjiu took a breath and said, "The first incident that started happened more than ten days ago, a group of cultivators invaded the Liu family in a vain attempt to take away the key that opened and locked the ghost flute, although the real key was still in the Liu family, but the ghost flute was taken away by them. The forces involved in this, we currently know only the Ten Members' Association. ”

"But now it has been determined that the Council of Ten has only made a deal with the mysterious force, and they have helped to get the Ghost Flute, and that force will give the Ten people what they will do. ”

He Lao listened attentively, and nodded from time to time, he knew all this, but he did not interrupt Jiang Qingjiu, a necessary skill for politicians at this time.

"Then in the abandoned building, I encountered the people of that force, although there are still two of us now, but because of the appearance of a master, those two fell into a state of life and death. “

Speaking of this, Jiang Qingjiu stopped, picked up the hot drink on the table and took a sip, looking at He Lao's face without any reaction, I don't know if he will be so indifferent when he talks about what happened a few mornings next.

"Last night, most of the masters in Xi'an City were killed overnight! And the method was not from the same person at all. ”

He Lao's indifferent face became a little shocked, the reason why he was able to be so indifferent after the ghost flute was stolen was that he knew that there were many masters in Xi'an City, even if the other party used the ghost flute to create a disaster, as long as these people were there, the chance of the other party's success was very small.

But now more than half of them died overnight, and it wasn't the same person. This only shows that the force is very powerful, and they have greatly underestimated the other party before.

Just when He Lao was still thinking about what to do, Jiang Qingshu said another important thing.

"We unexpectedly learned a piece of news, the name of the descendant of the ghost flute user is Zhao Danzhu, and this person is in that force. They made some kind of deal. “

Jiang Sake said this, but he didn't tell the reason for how he got the news. He Lao didn't ask much.

"Zhao Danzhu, is he the orphan of the Zhao family who was purged many years ago?" He Lao said, "If he is on the opposite side, then this matter may be very tricky." “

But as He Lao said, once this Zhao Danzhu controls the ghost flute, and it is in such a famous city as Xi'an, it will definitely be a new catastrophe, Jiang Qingjiu proposed: "I came here for this matter, presumably He Lao should already know what the current situation is, and all the surviving masters have gone to the Liu family compound to discuss countermeasures, if I guess correctly, I should suggest that you organize the people in the entire Xi'an City to evacuate immediately." “

He Lao hesitated for a while, and then expressed the concerns in his heart,

"Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, now at this time, under the premise of no warning, how to organize the evacuation, all into that time is different, that time there is indeed a mountain demon rushed over, the above also gave clear instructions, after the incident, the imperial capital even formed a new organization, there is no instruction on it, the current Xi'an City looks calm. The Spring Festival is approaching, and who wants to leave their hometown without any conclusive reason. “

Jiang Qingshu remembered the wall of Xiangji Temple covered with red lanterns, and the words written on it were repeated in his mind over and over again, and the thought that he had to evacuate arose in his heart.

"On the surface, it looks calm, but underneath the surface. With the frequent occurrence of these things, it is very likely that they have already laid out in Xi'an City, and the reason why they can mobilize so many masters at once is enough to illustrate this. And it is precisely at this time that it may represent some kind of signal, and perhaps a new calamity is about to begin!"

He Lao nodded frequently, what Jiang Qingjiu said did make sense, but if he rashly decided to evacuate the people, if nothing happened in the end, the He family would definitely suffer a bigger blow in the end, which he didn't want to see, so the old man said politely: "Comrade Xiao Jiang, what you said, I will truthfully report to the imperial capital, and when the decision is made above, I will naturally take corresponding actions." ”

"What you just said is just your speculation, the imperial capital has been led by a big man and formed a new organization, and they may have a sharper judgment on these things than we do. You and I can wait for the results with peace of mind. Jiang Qingjiu knew that even if he continued to stay here, He Lao would not make any changes in the decision, after all, behind these people were all involved in a big family in politics, and their identity determined that they must consider the family when they made any major event, even if they had few cultivators, but interests, power, and fame still made them enthusiastic and persistent!

Looking at the small western-style building, Jiang Qingjiu sighed, maybe that force is about to make a move, maybe they won't make a move, the only thing he and those cultivators can do is to try not to let the chaos hurt human lives and what they have, after all, the life of ordinary people is too short.
