Early the next morning

Ten thousand rays of light fell down, and the whole mountain was in a green place.

After a day and a night of heavy rain, the main mountain was completely renewed, and the monsters that had been hiding for a day began to come out to feed, and the whole forest was in a vibrant scene.

In the cave, after a night's rest, Lu Yan and the others had already regained their energy.

The five of them gathered around a campfire and waited for the roast to ripen.

After a simple breakfast, Lu Yan and the others decided to speed up and rush to the Ancient Hidden Mansion.

After comparing the Kanyu map last night, they found that the place where they were at this time was less than a thousand miles away from the Ancient Hidden Mansion.

If they hurried at full speed, they would be able to reach the realm of the Ancient Youfu in just one day.

However, Lu Yan decided that he had to speed up and strive to reach the boundary of the Ancient Youfu Mansion in the afternoon.

Because it was only a few days before the opening of the Emperor Killing Secret Realm, he wanted to arrive early and make some preparations, and by the way, inquire about the news of all parties.

"Wow, the mountains and forests are so beautiful in the morning after this heavy rain!"

As soon as she stepped out of the cave, Wu Yuehua was attracted by the scenery in front of her.

At this time, the entire mountain forest was shrouded in a layer of thick fog, and the mist was like a fairyland.

It seems that girls are born with a love for beauty, and at this time, Qin Ruoxi was also attracted by the dreamlike scenery in front of her, and her beautiful eyes flashed with crystal light.

"Hey, what about the corpses of those people?"

At this moment, Lu Wushuang suddenly let out an exclamation.

Everyone's eyes were attracted, only to see that the place where Lu Yan and the three of them placed those corpses last night was empty at this time.

However, the surrounding weeds and shrubs are a little messy, as if there were many people here before.

"Could it be that someone took all of these bodies last night while we weren't looking, or maybe they had accomplices nearby?"

Lu Tianqi kept guessing.

"No, look at these broken branches, they are very messy, and there are some strange paw prints, which are obviously not human behavior!"

At this moment, Wu Yuehua suddenly walked to the weeds and shrubs, took a closer look, and then said affirmatively.

"According to what you say, it's really possible that some demon beast came and took these corpses away!"

After hearing Wu Yuehua's analysis, Lu Wushuang also agreed with her opinion.

Only Lu Yan frowned, as if he was a little puzzled.

Compared with Wu Yuehua's judgment, Lu Yan agrees with it to a certain extent.

However, because he was already a martial artist in the God Refining Realm at this time, his perception was much stronger and clearer than a few of them.

Normally, the aura on the demon beasts is very strong, and there will be a faint difference! But wherever they have been, they will leave a breath, and these breaths can still be maintained for a long time even if they are washed by the rain.

But just now, he suddenly discovered that the amount of demon beast aura remaining here was not the same as the number of corpses last night!

Suddenly, a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart, but he didn't know what this bad premonition was!

That's where he was puzzled.

"Isn't one of them dead?"

A terrifying thought suddenly appeared in Lu Yan's mind.

"No, I remember that everyone at that time was confirmed to be dead before being dragged out!"

Soon Lu Yan denied this speculation.

"Lu Yan, what's wrong with you, did you find something

Exceptional?"

Seeing that Lu Yan didn't speak, the person next to him immediately asked.

In this group of people, Lu Yan's strength can be said to be the strongest, and if he finds something abnormal, it is also very possible.

This is also the reason why Lu Wushuang likes to ask Lu Yan for everything.

"No, it's just that I suddenly thought of something and got out of my mind. ”

Lu Yan said lightly with a smile on his face.

"Huh?"

At this moment, Lu Yan suddenly found that there was a row of shallow footprints ten meters in front of him.

If you don't look closely or have a strong perception, you won't be able to spot the footprints that have almost been washed away by the rain.

"It seems that there is indeed one who is not dead! Who could it be, could it be the old man, or the martial artist surnamed Chen?"

Lu Yan secretly guessed in his heart.

However, the footprints were too vague to judge more of the situation! However, under Lu Yan's careful induction, he still found a trace of abnormality, that is, the vague footprints were deep on one side and shallow on the other, which also proved that they did not have other companions, but the footprints of one of the martial artists who did not die.

"But how did he fool us all?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt a headache in Lu Yan's heart.

If one person really escapes, then there is undoubtedly a hidden enemy for himself and the others.

"Oh, since it's all right, let's go now! After a hundred miles out of here, we will be able to see the official road, and then we will be able to move forward a lot faster. ”

Lu Wushuang glanced at Lu Yan deeply, and then said lightly.

"Okay, let's speed it up!"

Lu Yan nodded in response, and then flew out.

As soon as he landed, Lu Yan vaguely observed the ground, and then continued to walk calmly.

In fact, it was not that he didn't want to tell them his speculation, but that saying it without evidence would make everyone's mood even heavier, so he simply didn't say anything.

But what Lu Yan didn't expect was that his every move just now fell into the eyes of Qin Ruoxi behind him.

A strange light flashed in Qin Ruoxi's beautiful eyes, and her expression was a little strange when she looked at Lu Yan.

"What a strange person!"

Qin Ruoxi muttered in a low voice.

The hundred-mile journey was completed in less than half an hour under the full strength of Lu Yan and the others.

Looking at the wide official road in front of them, everyone finally showed a hint of relaxation.

"Finally arrived at the official road, wait to see if there is a post station nearby, and then go over and buy a few good horses, so that you don't have to use your feet to rush anymore!

The happiest is Lu Tianqi.

"According to the map of Kanyu, there is a post station less than twenty miles from here, and horses should be provided there. ”

Lu Wushuang also said with a smile.

"Hey, have you noticed that this official road is a little different today! It seems that there are many refugees, is there something going on?"

At this moment, Wu Yuehua suddenly spoke up.

"Well, there are indeed a lot of people on this official road today, and almost all of them are dragging their families with their families, and their clothes are ragged as if they are fleeing. ”

Lu Yan looked at the official road, and then said with a solemn expression.

"Go down and find someone to ask!"

Lu Tianqi smiled.

Just do it, Lu Tianqi ran towards the official road as soon as he finished speaking.

It didn't take long for Lu Tianqi to run back.

"How's the inquiry, what do the refugees say?"

As soon as he saw Lu Tianqi coming back, Lu Wushuang hurriedly asked.

"I found out, the situation is a little bad! I don't know if it's good news or bad news!"

Lu Tianqi suddenly said with some solemnity.

"What the hell did you find out that you could say so heavily?"

Lu Wushuang asked a little anxiously.

"I heard from those people that they had fled all the way from the north, and they originally planned to stop at the Ancient Mansion, but the officials of the Ancient Mansion refused them. ”

"Later, I inquired again and learned that there was a riot in our Tang Kingdom, and several counties in the north announced their independence from the Tang State and have become independent!"

Lu Tianqi said with a look of disbelief.

"What? There was a rebellion in the north? Didn't the Tang State suppress it?"

Lu Wushuang asked in surprise.

"I don't understand this either, that's what those refugees said!"

Lu Tianqi shook his head and said.

"If that's the case, there's something wrong with that!"

Lu Wushuang's brows furrowed, revealing a hint of worry.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Yan glanced at the refugees again and asked.

"You see that there are so many refugees, and they have come so far from the north, it is clear that this rebellion has been going on for some time!"

Lu Wushuang pointed to the refugees and said calmly.

"And now I finally understand why the county guard agreed to our Lu family's conditions in the first place, obviously at that time he already knew about the rebellion in the north, so he agreed to us in order to preserve his strength!"

Lu Wushuang showed a hint of abruptness, and then said stupidly.

"Isn't that great, in this way, we won't have any crisis in Longzhou Mansion, and we can develop stably at the moment!"

Lu Tianqi said with a hint of joy.

"Hehe, you're thinking too simply! Look at these refugees, why do so many state capitals refuse to accept them? I guess it must be the county guard's meaning!"

Lu Wushuang chuckled lightly, then shook his head slightly.

"Wushuang is right, look at the essence through the phenomenon! This is indeed a conspiracy of the county guard!"

Lu Yan glanced at Lu Wushuang and then said with a faint smile.

"I don't even understand what you mean!"

Listening to Lu Yan and Lu Wushuang's words, Lu Tianqi only felt at a loss.

"Hehe, I don't think you can figure it out. I'll tell you the truth, why were these refugees rejected by all the prefectures? That was because the county guard wanted all of them to run to our Longzhou Mansion! When the time comes, hundreds of thousands or even millions of refugees will all pour into Longzhou Mansion, and it will put great pressure on our Longzhou Mansion in terms of survival and public order! In this way, it will affect the development of the entire Longzhou Mansion and even our family to a great extent! When the situation on their side eases up, they can continue to deal with our Longzhou Mansion again!"

Lu Wushuang said calmly.

"Damn, it turns out that there are so many doorways in this! If things really turn out as you say, that county guard is too vicious!"

Hearing Lu Wushuang's words, Lu Tianqi immediately scolded.

"Hehe, maybe that's not necessarily a bad thing!"

At this moment, Lu Yan suddenly smiled.
