However, although the Hades Court detained Liu Xiao at this time, putting them in a disadvantageous situation, they couldn't just watch Lancheng fall into the hands of the demon clan, but they didn't want to find a way to help.

Lancheng and Huicheng are geographically close to each other, as the so-called lips and teeth are cold, if the two cities want to embrace tranquility, neither side can fall into the hands of the demon clan.

The Hades Court has occupied Lancheng for a long time. In the past, when Fancheng and Huicheng almost fell into the hands of the Ghost King, because Wei Song had not yet become the lord of Huicheng, he was only his own young lord in Fancheng and assisted Wei Zong in handling some government affairs, and the stakes were not very clear.

But now it is different, the responsibility of governing Huicheng has fallen to his own head, and in the past few days, he has gradually realized that if he wants to consolidate a city, the surrounding cities have a very far-reaching impact on him.

The rear Fancheng is managed by his father, and without the threat of the ghost king, he has no worries. But in front of him was the city of Lancheng, a city that had fallen. He still doesn't know the strength of the opponent of the Underworld, but being able to drag Liu Xiao, a fourth-grade soul master who has been sitting firmly on the throne of the city lord of Lancheng for more than 20 years, can be dragged into the water, which shows that his ability cannot be underestimated.

"Mr. Mu, the Lord of Liucheng is in the hands of the Hades Court, and we have no way to start. But you can't watch Lancheng be taken away by the demon clan like this. Wei Song said anxiously.

If Lancheng really gave up to the demon clan like this, then the threat to Huicheng in the future would not be so simple to estimate.

Perhaps, Huicheng will repeat the mistakes of the previous ghost king, and fall into the hands of the underworld court like Lancheng. It is necessary to stabilize Huicheng so that it has no external and internal troubles. The first thing is to reassure the people, this point, since rehabilitating Chu Jue's unjust case, coupled with a reasonable way of governance, Wei Song has done it. He won the hearts of the people very well, and also governed Huicheng well.

However, the external problem has not yet been resolved. The crisis in Lancheng will not be solved for a day. He will not be at ease for a day.

Now, if you want to take Lan Cheng away from the hands of the Hades and rescue the Lord of Liucheng, everything has to rely on Mu Rui's strategy.

"This matter needs to be analyzed. Mu Rui said, "If we want to save Lancheng this time, it is mainly divided into two steps. The first is to rescue the city lord of Liu Xiao, which is a top priority. The second is to find a way to take Lancheng from the hands of the underworld court after rescuing the lord of Liucheng, and return it to Zhao. ”

"You're right, but what is the specific implementation method?" asked Liu Ling. She listened for most of the day, and it seemed that she only analyzed the situation, but did not hear a feasible plan.

"Young master, don't worry. After we discuss this matter, we can come up with a solution. If we want to rescue the Lord of Liucheng, the first thing we need to do is to find out where the Lord of Liucheng is located. However, regarding this point, please rest assured, the city lord, the young master, and find out the place where the Hades Court has been imprisoned in the city lord of Liu. Mu Rui said, taking out a map and spreading it out on the table.

"So you started probing a long time ago. You deliberately kicked me out that day, but in fact, you just wanted to dampen my spirit?" asked Liu Ling.

No matter how quickly Mu Rui's people moved, it was impossible to go back and forth between Huicheng and Lancheng in one night and find his father. Therefore, Mu Rui must have started to act very early. In this way, it can be seen that he drove himself out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion yesterday on purpose.

"Don't be angry, young master. This matter is indeed wrong in the next place. It's just that before finding out the Lord of Liucheng, he couldn't come up with a plan to rescue the city lord, let alone plan to defeat the Hades and drive him out of Lancheng. I hope the young master will forgive. Mu Rui apologized very humbly.

"Clever words!" Liu Ling naturally knew that Mu Rui wanted to humiliate himself yesterday, but thinking that Mu Rui was also thinking about Lancheng, it was difficult to hate in his heart, "Forget it, for your sake of our Lancheng, I don't remember villains." However, since you have already found out where my father is being held, then you must find a way to save Lan Cheng!"

"Please rest assured that the young master will do his best to not disappoint the young master. Mu Rui agreed.

"I hope so. Liu Ling said.

The trio unfolded the entire map of Lancheng. It is full of mountains and rivers in Lancheng, all places, any terrain, are clearly drawn, and even every house, the distance between different places, are clearly marked. The scene of the entire Lancheng is fully displayed in front of you.

Liu Ling secretly admired in his heart, this Mr. Mu is really not an ordinary person. Many of the locations marked on the map are not clear to even her, a native of Lancheng. And Mu Rui was able to draw clearly on the map without omission, and his foresight can be seen.

"I have a question, this map doesn't seem to be able to be drawn in a day or two. Could it be that you prepared this map a long time ago?" Liu Ling asked, "You are an ordinary white-clothed Taoist, why do you want to draw a topographical map of my Lan City?"

She wondered in her heart, it stands to reason that a white robe who looks beyond the world should be home from all over the world. However, on this topographic map, there is no sign of any random drawing during the tour. Rather, it's like a military topographic map prepared for battle.

"Since the young master thinks that he is an ordinary white robe, then why should he deign to ask a civilian about saving a dangerous city now?" Mu Rui looked a little displeased, "I believe that the city lord Liu also said to the young lord that if you want to govern a city well, you must use people without suspicion and suspicion." The young master is like this, so it is difficult for him to talk about the big plan. ”

Liu Ling listened and lowered his head in some shame.

"After inquiry, I learned that the place where the Lord of Liucheng was held was in a cave in Hulu Pass. There are three hundred demon guards. Mu Rui pointed to a place on the topographic map and said.

"Hulu Pass?" Wei Song didn't know the terrain of Lancheng and looked at Liu Ling.

Liu Ling looked at the place where Mu Rui was pointing and muttered for a moment, and slapped the table: "By the way, this gourd pass is very hidden, and it is not easy to attract the attention of others. Outside the gourd pass, there are often fierce beasts in the mountain pass, and ordinary people rarely go to that place. Due to the climate, Huluguan is often shrouded in dense fog. Even if there are thousands of demons hidden in the pass, no one will find out. ”

"Is there such a Tibetan place? Wei Song couldn't help but sigh.

"However, I wouldn't even think of this gourd, how could you, an outsider, think of it?" asked Liu Ling.

It stands to reason that this gourd pass is very hidden, and a large number of people hiding there will not be discovered. So how did Mu Rui know that his father was locked up in that kind of place?

"Actually, I couldn't make up my mind at first. However, when the people sent to Lancheng were following up, they found that several demon soldiers under the Hades Court regularly went to the south bank of the Huai River to fetch water, but they were not sent back to the Hades Court in the City Lord's Mansion. In my thoughts, those demon soldiers would not be kind enough to fetch water for the Terrans, so there is only one possibility, and that is that the water has other uses. Mu Rui explained the whole arrangement.

"So, with this clue, following those demon soldiers, you found the place where Liu Xiao's city lord was imprisoned?" Wei Song asked.

"Exactly. Mu Rui nodded.

All of this, including the information that Liu Ling might ask him about how to send someone to discover Hulu Pass, Senior Brother had already anticipated it in advance, and taught himself how to respond. He now admired his brother's ability to predict more and more. It's as if everything can be counted by him.

"It's really worthy of the people who saved Fancheng and Huicheng, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation. Liu Ling praised, smiled at Mu Rui, and then looked at the topographic map.

Mu Rui's eyebrows and eyes froze slightly, and he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Young Master Liu was in the City Lord's Mansion, but he cared about the world and knew everything about the outside world. ”

After speaking, he looked at Liu Ling's reaction.

Liu Ling didn't seem to notice that Mu Rui was looking at her, her eyes were still staring at the situation about Hulu Pass on the topographic map, and she replied casually: "I just heard about it in Huicheng." ”

"I see. Mu Rui whispered.

Then he rolled up the topographical map.

Liu Ling was looking at it vigorously, and suddenly the scroll was taken away, a little puzzled, and looked at Mu Rui suspiciously: "What are you doing?" Just now you just talked about the place where my father is locked up, and you haven't said the plan of how to save my father and Lan Cheng. Why did you just collect this map in the first place?"

"The matter of saving your father, I suddenly felt that there seemed to be a little flaw in the middle of the plan. Wait until you go back next time to plan again, and then come to discuss with the young lord and the city lord. After Mu Rui finished speaking, he just put away the entire scroll and turned to Wei Song, "Wei Shaocheng Lord, this time I really didn't think about it, and I may have to miss it for two days." I beg the lord of the castle not to blame. In two days, he will definitely offer a strategy to repel the underworld. ”

"Sir, don't blame yourself too much. Don't work too hard these days. It's just that this Lancheng is a top priority, and I ask Mr. to make a decision as soon as possible. It is also good to let Young Lord Liu feel at ease, and let the people of Lancheng live a stable life as soon as possible. Wei Song said.

"Thank you for the city's shirt. Mu Rui and Wei Song saluted each other. Mu Rui got up and walked out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion with the topographic map with him.

"What a strange person, obviously he looked confident before, but now he suddenly changed his mind and said that he didn't think it through?" Liu Ling felt very strange about the change in Mu Rui's attitude.

"This can't be blamed on Mr. Mu. These days, assisting me in taking care of things in the city, Mr. Mu can be regarded as a daily manager. Now that we have to find a way to solve the troubles faced by the young master and the people of Lancheng, it is normal for Baimi to be a little negligent. It's just that fortunately, it wasn't after the failure of the operation that I realized the omission in the plan, and it wasn't too late. People are not sages, and I hope that Young Master Liu can understand Mr. Mu. ”

......

"Senior brother, I did as you said, but I didn't directly say the way to rescue the Liu City Lord. Mu Rui hurried back to Xiaohulu and said to Yi Huan.

"Why? Did something happen that I didn't expect? Did someone else appear in the City Lord's Mansion and it was not convenient for you to speak at that time?"

If it is an unplanned situation, he must be sure. Before saving Lancheng, any uncertain factor could be the trigger for failure.
