Lucheng can be said to be a necessary place for business travel between Jinyan and Jinyan, many places in the city are very close to the city in Hexi, and the streets and alleys are mostly small courtyards with pink walls and tiles.

Chen Hai walked into the small courtyard where Qi Hanjiang and they settled, the yard was very ordinary, the wall ash was a little peeling and mottled, the bluestone steps and the foot of the wall paved with blue bricks were covered with moss, and two jujube trees were planted in the yard, and I don't know which year they were planted, they grew densely foliage, and after autumn, they were hung with golden silk jujubes, and no one thought about picking them at this time, sometimes the wind came in, and the jujubes fell in the brick-paved patio, and no one thought about cleaning them up.

"These are all flaws!" Chen Hai pointed to the jujube in the yard and said with a smile to Qi Hanjiang.

"Ah......" Qi Hanjiang was slightly stunned, and only after a while did he understand where the flaws were, Pinglu grain is precious, although the golden silk jujube is not a spiritual object, but it also has the effect of nourishing qi and blood, let it wither and do not know how to pick it up, so that outsiders can see it, doesn't it mean that the minds of the people in the courtyard are elsewhere?

Qi Hanjiang was also unrepentant, and said with a smile: "I do everything roughly, I just want to charge the trap, but you prefer me to do this meticulous work, how can I be too thoughtful for a while?"

Chen Hai wanted to hone Qi Hanjiang's rough temperament, but he didn't expect him to break the jar and break it, and complained that he sent him over, glared at him, and didn't say anything.

Before, it was not clear that they were going to start in Lucheng, Wu Meng and Ge Tong each took their men to lurk in the other two alternative cities, and they had not come to meet for the time being, only Qi Hanjiang led more than a dozen descendants to guard, pretending to be a small caravan that could not return to Yanzhou, and had been lurking here for more than half a month.

Everyone didn't expect that the lord would sneak into Lucheng in person to meet everyone this time, and they all hurried over to salute.

"Everyone in Lucheng should stop being formal. Chen Hai waved his hand, letting everyone disperse, and everyone went to do their own things, there was no need to come to him.

Although Lucheng remained neutral and did not prohibit the merchants of Yanzhou from entering and leaving, when he came over, he noticed that there were several secret sentinels outside the alley who were monitoring this side, which showed that Lucheng was still vigilant enough against the Yanzhou merchants who lived in this alley.

Lucheng is the first city in the west out of Tieliuling, and it is a big city where business travelers gather, it is impossible for the Dong family not to send people to infiltrate, and even in the name of Taiwei Sect, in the mouth of this alley called Wuqiao Lane, a Taiwei Hall was built, and a director of the Spirit Realm was stationed here all the year round to provide necessary convenience for the business travelers from Hexi to enter Jinzhou.

It's just that the head of the Taiwei Sect stationed here is the son of the Du family who has a deep personal grudge with the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion, and even if Lucheng did not obey the order of the rebellious Zhang clan at this time and expel the people sent by Hexi, it will inevitably strengthen the surveillance of the Taiwei Guild Hall, Qi Hanjiang and they are lurking, and there is no contact with the Taiwei Guild Hall for the time being.

"You asked people to ask Du Linan to come over. Chen Hai said to Qi Hanjiang.

In Fujiaoling, Yanjing, in order to rectify military discipline, Chen Hai used the red marrow copper whip to execute the execution rod to abolish Du Yong, the proud son of the Du family, which can be regarded as a deep personal enmity with the Du family.

Although Du Linan, who presided over the Taiwei Guild Hall, was a disciple of the Du family, Qi Hanjiang and the others had only been lurking in Lucheng for more than ten days, and they were still monitored when they entered and exited, and when it came to their familiarity with Lucheng, they were definitely not as good as Du Linan, who had been ordered to guard the Taiwei Hall in Lucheng for two years.

If the elite army wants to take Lucheng, make good use of Du Linan, and get twice the result with half the effort.

The business travelers in Yanzhou stranded in Lucheng mainly lived near the Taiwei Guild Hall.

As soon as Chen Hai drank a cup of tea in the quiet room, Qi Hanjiang had already sent someone to invite Du Linan over.

Du Linan is less than thirty years old, of medium stature, with steady steps, silent stepping stones, and has cultivated in the late stage of the Spirit Clearing Realm, and is a disciple of the inner door of the Seven Peaks of the Taiwei Sect. In the blue-gray jacket, he also wore a fox fur and a Pigua hat peculiar to Pinglu, not so much a disciple of Xuanzong as more like a mercenary merchant.

"Hello Director Du, I'm Chen Hai, I specially invite you over to discuss good things. Chen Hai went straight to the point and asked Du Li to come into the quiet room to speak, and personally brewed him a spiritual tea.

Du Li entered the courtyard and recognized Chen Hai through the door.

Du Yong is placed in the whole Yanzhou, maybe it is still a little insignificant, after all, the five-year school palace selection, Du Yong has hundreds of disciples like this, only a figure like Chen Hai who can enter the list of Qingque will be dazzling, but for the Du family, Du Yong, who has the opportunity to cultivate the Dao Dan, may be related to the prosperity of the Du family after a hundred years.

Du Yong was deposed, and for the Du family, the loss was more heart-wrenching than the death of a hundred insignificant collateral disciples, and it also destroyed the foundation.

If it weren't for the forcible suppression of this matter by the prince Dong Chou, the Du family would have planned to mobilize manpower and enter Yanjing to assassinate Chen Hai to take revenge.

Du Linan was still in the sect at that time, and he was also called back to the clan by the head of the family to prepare to participate in the assassination.

Although this matter made the prince Dong Chou forcibly suppress it, the Du clan would not easily forget this feud.

Du Linan has seen Chen Hai's portrait, and also knows that Chen Hai is the abandoned son of the Yao family, etc., in the earliest rumors that the so-called national envoy borrowed troops came to Lucheng, Du Linan was the first to think of Chen Hai, but he didn't expect Chen Hai to come to Lucheng in person at this time, he was stunned for a while, and he didn't throw his sleeves and leave, but stepped forward and saluted: "Du Linan has seen the national envoy." ”

Dong Ning, the lord of Yuecheng County, established the Elite Capital Protectorate in the depths of the northern desert, and the Dong clan supported the remnants of the Ye clan to establish the Xiqiang royal clan army to restore the country, Du Linan was not qualified to participate, and even some of the more core secrets were not informed to him, but he still knew about the general things.

Even though the Hexi Metropolitan Protectorate and the Taiwei Sect did not give Chen Hai an official identity at this time, Du Linan knew in his heart that the horse thieves that Chen Hai had incorporated in the depths of the desert were the foundation for the establishment of the Elite Army, which actually meant that Hexi was acquiescing in Chen Hai's status in Montenegro;

And Chen Hai's appearance in Lucheng, although it is extremely surprising, also means that the elite army and the Ye family's Xiqiang royal army have been dormant in Montenegro for half a year without any movement, and the next big move is Lucheng.

Du Linan may not think about the personal feud between Du and Chen Hai, and there is a faint excitement in his heart that is difficult to suppress, and at the same time, he will not debunk Chen Hai's fake identity and be commensurate with the envoy of the state.

"Can the envoy allow Li Nan to come when he goes?" Du Linan entered the quiet room and did not sit down to drink tea, but asked to leave for a while.

Qi Hanjiang glared angrily and warned Du Li Nan'an not to play any tricks under their noses.

Chen Hai wanted Qi Hanjiang to be calm and not impatient, and if Du Linan really wanted to betray him, he would not be so urgent.

Du Linan could guess what Qi Hanjiang was suspicious of, and said calmly: "If Qi Ye is not at ease, you can go back to the hall with me." ”

There are several people around Chen Hai, Zhou Jun and Wu Meng became famous the earliest, Ge Tong, Zhou Jingyuan, Shen Kun, Ding Shuang and others have long been on their own, only Qi Hanjiang was born in Konu, and he has always been charging by Chen Hai's side, and he has not had the opportunity to stand alone. Although Qi Hanjiang took the Nine Turns Gold Liquid Pill in Montenegro this time, before Zhou Jingyuan, Shen Kun, Ding Shuang, and Zhou Jun, he opened up the sea of ancestral knowledge and stepped into the realm of enlightenment, and he was not well-known outside.

Du Linan didn't recognize Qi Hanjiang either, but since Qi Hanjiang didn't trust him, he didn't mind Qi Hanjiang going with him.

Qi Hanjiang snorted coldly and motioned to the guards outside the door to let Du Linan leave alone.

Although there are only a dozen of them in this courtyard, Qi Hanjiang still has the confidence that Du Linan really wants to hide some crooked intentions to tell the truth and escort Chen Hai out of the city.

The Taiwei Hall was more than 100 meters away from the courtyard here, and Du Linan soon ran back, and the cup of tea that Chen Hai made for him had not yet cooled.

Du Linan moved to Chen Hai and sat down, put a bunch of old and new documents in his hand on the table, and said: "These are all materials collected by Li Nan in the past two years after he arrived in Lucheng, please take a look at the envoy." ”

Chen Hai asked Du Linan to come over, just to know the details of Lucheng, Du Linan naturally knew all about these information, and naturally he could tell Chen Hai directly, but because of Chen Hai and Du's old grudge, no matter how much and detailed Du Linan said, Chen Hai and Qi Hanjiang would be discounted when they heard it.

Du Linan simply brought over all the information he had collected in the past two years, so that it was convenient for Chen Hai and them to verify whether what he said was based on it, and to save a lot of unnecessary speculation.

Chen Hai looked through the pile of materials that Du Linan brought over, there were topographic maps on both sides of the Luhe River, there were maps of the streets and alleys of Lucheng City Defense and Government Offices, and there were large and small mansions of the five clans in Lucheng inside and outside Lucheng.

In addition to the military attachés, generals, and armor equipment of the city guards, Du Linan conducted a detailed investigation of the scale of the private soldiers of the five tribes, the armor and equipment, the list of the main children of the five tribes, and the relationship between teachers and marriages.

In addition, after Du Linan arrived in Lucheng, the main caravans that had entered and exited Lucheng in the past two years, as well as the guild halls and defense forces set up by the main clan forces of the Xiqiang State in Lucheng, were observed in detail.

Regardless of whether these materials are old or new, the handwriting is the same, which shows that these materials were sorted out by Du Linan after he arrived in Lucheng, and they were sorted out extremely meticulously and organized.

Although if Du Yong hadn't been abolished by him, he would have already stepped into the realm of enlightenment at this time, and it was very likely that he would cultivate the Dao Dan in the future and become the head of the new generation of the Du family, but in Chen Hai's eyes, Du Yong was really too far behind Du Linan in front of him.

Chen Hai really couldn't understand how the Du family was willing to put such a child in Lucheng.

Du Linan's arrival in Lucheng seems to be a one-sided side, but due to the mortal feud between Hexi and Xiqiang twenty years ago, Du Linan presided over the Taiwei Hall in Lucheng, which is actually an unrelated character who may be assassinated by Qiang Hu Haoyong at any time.

And Du Linan brought this pile of information over, which also shows that in the face of the clan's personal grievances, Du Linan is more eager to make contributions, Chen Hai guessed that it was probably the same thought, Du Linan would choose to come to Lucheng, right? If he stayed in the Taiwei Sect or the Du clan, a side disciple like Du Linan, whose intelligence and talent had already threatened the Yan Branch, I am afraid it would be even more difficult to get ahead.
