In addition to the two purple lanterns, in the ancestral hall of the ten thousand families, an orange flame was swaying at the top of a candle.

"Head of the house, they're coming!"

Under the slightly dim candlelight, Wan Ping bowed slightly and whispered to Wan Shijun on the seat.

Wan Shijun, who was pretending to be asleep, slowly opened his eyes, and his still clear pupils looked at the dark night sky outside the house.

"It looks like they didn't find what they were looking for in the city. ”

"This is nature! How can the arrangement made by the head of the family with so much effort be useless?" Wan Ping complimented with a hint of reserve.

At this moment, Qiu Xuan stood in front of the bluestone path with a dignified face.

"Uncle Shi, this ......" Ximenjing behind him said hesitantly.

"Very strong formation!" Qiu Xuan said with difficulty.

"How strong?"

The last time Ximen Jing came, he also sensed the fluctuation of the formation, and then naturally there were various temptations. However, no matter what method he used, this formation was like a pool of stagnant water, and there was no reaction in the slightest. But when Ximenjing stepped on this bluestone path, it was as normal as usual. It's just that after walking for a while, he was surprised to find that the road ahead was still so long, and when he turned back, there was no road behind his feet, but dirt, the dirt at the beginning of the bluestone road!

Ximenjing also tried to exude a trace of malice under the anger, but when the malice came out, there was an extremely dangerous feeling that enveloped him at all times. So, he didn't dare to move! Then, he went back to move the rescuers!

Qiu Xuan was the rescuer he invited, but at this moment, the rescuer's mouth said something that surprised him. So, naturally, he had to ask for an understanding!

"Compared to Kunlun's mountain guarding array, it's almost the same!"

Such a sentence made Qiu Xuan feel a little ashamed, but he still said it.

"Who are they?" Ximenjing did not doubt, because although Uncle Shi was free and easy, he did not like to joke. Therefore, he was a little curious, what kind of people live in such a small town guarded by such a big array?

Qiu Xuan thought about it seriously and replied, "After the great change back then, not everyone was qualified to enter the domain, after all, there were not many spiritual veins reserved first. ”

"But do they seem to be unqualified people?" For some general information of that year, Ximenjing, as the head of the house, naturally also understands. When the catastrophe is approaching, the powerful still enjoy their privileges, but because of this, people who can have such a powerful array in front of them really don't look like people who are not qualified to take refuge.

Qiu Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

……

"Then what should I do now?" Ximenjing asked not only the big town formation in front of him, but also the task this time.

Huineng was unwilling to cooperate, and there were no clues in Yuzhang City, so this time he poured out, and the consumption of aura alone was a big number. Coupled with the consumption of the large array set up in the vanguard gate in order to capture the heavenly machine, if nothing is found, after going back, I am afraid that it will not be easy to explain to the rest of the elders in the gate, you must know that in the case of limited resources, battles are everywhere!

Qiu Xuan's brows furrowed even deeper, he thought for a long time, and then decided: "You stay and watch the people inside, I'll go to Huineng, and the other people will first go to the city to check the population from a few months ago, list the deaths and relocations one by one, and then take Yuzhang as the center, all of them are scattered, and check the past inch by inch, looking for these people who have moved elsewhere, until they find that person or exhaust all the spiritual energy in the spiritual energy bracelet." ”

It's obviously a stupid idea, but there's obviously no better way!

"Okay, I'll give the order!" Ximenjing nodded.

"No need! order me to go back and convey it, you just stay here and watch the people inside!" Qiu Xuan waved his hand.

"That's good!"

After Ximen Jing should get down, Qiu Xuan turned around and disappeared.

After a short time, a large net spread out from Yuzhang City to all directions......

Xu Chen, who was far away in Shengzhou, was thinking hard about countermeasures with the news sent back by Yuzhang.

Lu Hao, Wang Ce, Zhou Kang, Shi Lei and others gathered together and waited quietly on the side.

"We can't beat it!" Xu Chen, who was seated, said with difficulty.

The others bowed their heads and were speechless.

"If you can't beat it, then run!" Xu wanted to ease the atmosphere, and Xiao Shi said.

"I can't run away!" Xu Chen looked at him and said with a smile.

Shi Lei lowered his head.

"Big brother, how many people will they come?" asked Wang Ce.

Xu Chen understood what he meant: "It is estimated that it is a group of two or three." ”

Wang Ce thought for a while, and then hesitated to speak: "Then is it possible for us to ......?"

"Impossible!" Before Xu Chen could speak, Zhou Kang answered: "Not to mention whether we can take these people, and how much price we will have to pay after taking them." Even if we take it, and don't release the news before they die, we still don't have much time left!Even if it's enough for us to move them all, but without the fortifications we've spent months building, what are we going to do to fend off a second round of their attacks?"

"Then what do you say?" Wang Ce was a little anxious.

"I think the key is not to let them find us!" Zhou said.

"How is this possible? Yu Zhang is only a thousand miles from Shengzhou, and according to their speed, it will only take more than ten days!" Wang Ce retorted.

Zhou Kang thought for a moment and said, "Or let's find a way to stop them!"

"Stop?" Wang Ce was a little puzzled, and then smiled helplessly: "Then this is much more difficult than taking them down!"

Looking at the brothers' discussion in a few words, Xu Chen was a little relieved, the teenagers were growing up rapidly, and they had learned to analyze the problems profoundly, which was much more than their peers......

After discussing it for a while, the room gradually fell silent.

Seeing this, Xu Chen thought for a while before he said out loud: "We don't have to stop ...... in person."

The eyes of everyone in the room lit up, since the eldest brother said so, then there must be a way! This has been confirmed by many experiences.

Xu Chen picked up a thick pile of letters from the table, which Xu Fan sent from Chang'an, and said: "It was said that the Yang family investigated by the internal guards, they are mainly active in the south, and the person who went to find Yang Shenjin this time should be a big boss, but unfortunately he was missed by the internal guards and failed to catch them." ”

"According to the above information, this remnant of the Yang family went to Chang'an City just to confirm the news of the lack of food in the household to Yang Shenjin. Then it also proves that he is indeed active in the south, which will give you a deep understanding of the situation in the south this year. ”

"So what is the purpose of their risk to confirm this news? Judging from the information presented to the emperor by the internal guard, it seems that these Yang family members are intent on disturbing the south and causing trouble in the south. To put it bluntly, it's a rebellion!"

"Big brother, what do you want to do?" Lu Hao didn't speak, but now, his intuition made him feel deeply dangerous.

"We can't stop them......" Xu Chen's expression was solemn, he shook his head, his face was full of helplessness and loneliness: "No one can stop them!"

"So ......" Speaking of this, Xu Chen stopped, looked at the eyes of several brothers in the room who were either expectant or frightened, as if a sentence had been announced, and then said, "I'm going to ...... Use the whole south to stop them!"

The danger in his intuition really happened! Lu Hao shouted anxiously: "No! Big brother, you must not do this!"

Xu Chen didn't hear it, and said numbly: "Use a war to completely drag down their search, and completely erase the traces we left!"

Looking at the serious expression of the eldest brother, Lu Hao leaned back on the seat like a deflated ball, and said painfully: "That will kill a lot of people!"

When he said this, Lu Hao kept looking at Xu Chen, trying to change his determination.

"I know!" Xu Chen turned his numb face to Lu Hao, and his eyes revealed a firm determination, determination after a painful choice!

"That's why we can erase our traces!"

"You're murdering!" Lu Hao roared hoarsely.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Xu Chen looked at him, and said in the same high voice: "Do you want to watch you die? You can't escape! Even if I run away alone, they come all the way from Yuzhang, if you identify me, how can you be spared? We have left too many traces! Even if I use my life to blackmail them to keep you, but under the absolute difference in strength, what ability do I have to restrain them from keeping their word? I am afraid that when the time comes, I will not be able to ask for death!"

The eldest brother and the second brother quarreled, and the other people in the room were naturally silent.

"Compared to you who are my dearest, I can only sacrifice those strangers......" Xu Chen had a deep tiredness on his face.

……

"But...... The teacher told us to enter Beijing as much as possible! Boat, I'm ready!" Lu Hao made his last effort.

"No need!" Xu Chen smiled, but his smile looked different and desolate: "Anyway, after the chaos, the teacher is going to send us back!"

Looking at the eldest brother's normal expression, Lu Hao knew that he was completely unable to convince the eldest brother! Because he understood that the eldest brother would also be confused and wandering, but since he had made a decision, he would face it calmly, and no one could change the idea that he had already determined!

Lu Hao shook his head, stood up, hung his head, and walked out of the house.

"You, you're not going to sue Teacher Sù, are you?" Xu Chen, who was behind him, said very seriously at Lu Hao's back, looking a little naughty, like a child who had done something wrong.

Lu Hao shook his head mechanically and walked out of the house.

After Lu Hao left, the atmosphere in the room was a little heavy.

Although they were a little confused about the argument between the eldest brother and the second brother at the beginning, after listening to a few more words, they straightened out the eldest brother's train of thought and understood the reason for the second brother's opposition.

Wang Ce felt that he should say something at this time, so he spoke: "Big brother, we are all beggars, we have no father or mother since we were children, and we have long tasted enough of human warmth, and this heart is naturally hard enough! But the second brother is different! The second brother used to learn the words of a sage, and what he paid attention to was to treat others with leniency...... Big brother, don't be angry, second brother can't turn a corner for a while! Later, when you have more experience, you will naturally be fine!"

Zhou Kang Mu nodded.

Xiao Shi naturally saw the opportunity quickly: "That's it! Second brother, his brain couldn't turn for a while." Big brother, don't worry! It'll be fine in a while!"

Xu Chen smiled and didn't say anything.

After a long while, Xu Chen cleaned up all the feelings that should not have been, and regained his decisiveness: "Send a message to Zheng Tai! Let him stop the boat on Chongming Island on the spot, and then block the news!"

"How long will it take?" asked Wang Ce.

Xu Chen thought for a while and replied, "Let's stop for half a month first!"
