"Huh? It's pretty decent. ”

When following the thieves to approach the interior of the cottage, Lu Xiao looked at the layout of the cottage along the way.

Although most of the fortifications were made of wood, it can be seen that the personnel and facilities were sophisticated, and the person who presided over the cottage should have received a formal military education.

The bandits of the Demon King are very different from ordinary bandits, and it can be clearly seen from the spirit that they are not so much bandits, but more like private soldiers raised by wealthy families.

Yongzhen came and went last night using the secret passage to walk, and she hadn't observed the panorama of the cottage openly, and her expression was quite surprised at this time.

"It's not a cottage anymore, it's a small fortress."

Tuoba Yu'er is still inexperienced, and the whispered conversation between the two makes her scratch her head, and she simply doesn't bother to think about it.

Entering the Juyi Hall, the first thing that caught the eyes of the three of them was the neat queue standing on both sides of the lobby, although the uneven clothing was a little unsightly, but it still looked quite imposing.

A rugged man with a beard sat on a tiger skin chair in the depths of the lobby, his bronze bell-like eyes staring closely at the three people who had just walked into the lobby, as if he wanted to use his eyes to deter Lu Xiao and the others.

Another man with a sword in civilian clothes stood beside him, his eyes looking at Yongzhen all the time, and the look in his eyes was a little playful.

Lu Xiao ignored Cheng Yanjin's deliberate posture, and calmly clenched his fists and saluted the two people who headed up.

"Thank you, King Cheng, for being willing to let us enter the cottage to talk."

"In Xia Lu Xiao, a nobody, these two are the insider Yongzhen and the accompanying companion Tuoba Yu'er."

Before entering the cottage, Lu Xiao specially warned Yu'er, asking her to restrain her temper later, and let him negotiate with Cheng Yanjin, and strive to recover Shennong Ding without using swords.

Cheng Biting Jin raised his chin and said, "Do you mean to come here for the sake of this king's divine tripod?" ”

Lu Xiao smiled and complimented: "King Cheng Yingming, we are here to retrieve Shennong Ding from you. ”

"Smack!"

Cheng Yanjin angrily slapped the armrest of the tiger leather chair: "Joke! I spent a lot of manpower and material resources to snatch the Shending from the hands of the officials and soldiers, and you want me to hand it over just based on your empty words? ”

The bandits standing on both sides cooperated with the ridicule, and the grumpy Yu'er couldn't help it on the spot.

"Black barbarian! You ......"

"Yu'er!"

Lu Xiao sternly glanced at the grumpy girl who was about to attack.

"Humph!"

Under Yongzhen's whispered persuasion, Tuoba Yu'er puffed out her cheeks with anger and stood there alone sulking.

Lu Xiao turned a blind eye to the ridicule around him, and explained to Cheng Yanjin with an unchanged face: "The king should not know the origin of Shennong Ding, this thing was originally not owned by the Sui Dynasty, but a sacred relic passed down from generation to generation by the Xianbei tribe in the north. ”

"This Miss Tuoba Yu'er is a relative of the tribal leader, and she was entrusted by the leader to go out to find the Shending."

"As for the rumor that is widely circulated in the community, the wise king should not believe it, and ask the king to make it convenient and return the divine tripod to its original owner."

"We are willing to pay the corresponding property and will not let King Cheng return empty-handed."

Hearing that Lu Xiao was willing to pay for the redemption of Shending, Cheng Yanjin frowned and fell into deep thought, as if he was weighing whether he should agree to his request.

"Brother Cheng, listen to what you say."

Qin Qiong interjected from the side: "No matter where that ridiculous rumor came from, judging from the three guests who came to visit, the rumor has already begun to spread. ”

"As the old saying goes: the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. The three people who came to the door this time were quite polite and polite, can you guarantee that there will be no robbers in the future? ”

"Although Brother Cheng's subordinates are all elite, the heroes can't stand the crowd, and it is difficult to defeat the four hands with two fists, in case the officers and soldiers also lead a large army up the mountain to encircle and suppress ......"

Qin Shubao's easy-to-understand analysis caused some commotion among the bandits in the Juyi Hall.

Cheng Yanjin had already determined that this mysterious bronze tripod would not allow him to ascend to the throne, but would attract wolves to surround him because he held a heavy treasure.

There are only about 100 fighters in this cottage, and if it really attracts a large-scale encirclement and suppression by the Sui army, Cheng Yanjin is not confident that he can defend it.

Instead of continuing to hold the hot potato in your hands, it is better to cash it out for some possessions.

Moreover, Cheng Yanjin was also a little tempted by Qin Shubao's proposal before, and was considering whether to give up the Demon King and lead the brothers to accept Zhang Xutuo's recruitment, so that he could be regarded as having a legitimate identity.

Lu Xiao ...... Right? ”

After thinking about it roughly, Cheng Yanjin stared at Lu Xiao, who was still calm and breezy below: "How much money are you willing to pay to redeem Shending?" ”

"We ......"

As soon as the words came out, Lu Xiao's face suddenly changed, and Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin also felt something strange at the same time.

"Not good! Treasure trove! ”

Cheng Yanjin lifted the Xuanhua axe placed on both sides of the tiger skin chair, and rushed into the treasure house behind the Juyi Hall first, and Qin Qiong also followed up with a solemn expression.

When Lu Xiao and the three of them strode to the door of the treasure house, three men of different shapes surrounded Shennong Ding and were confronting Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong, who had entered the treasure house first.

"That's ......"

Lu Xiao's eyes shrank slightly when he looked at the young man with bronze hair and heterochromatic eyes.

The appearance of this person is very similar to the Great Sui Taishi Yuwen Tuo whom he had fought on the dragon boat before.

That's right, only the appearance is similar.

Lu Xiao's five senses were very keen, and he could smell the faint fragrance wafting from the other party's body, which was the smell of incense that he had not smelled on Yuwen Tuo before.

And the behavior of this "Yuwen Tuo" in front of him is completely different from what he remembers, and his gestures are full of fat powder, and it feels like a ......

'Cross-dressing? ’

Among the two people who followed behind "Yuwen Tuo", one of them was also Hu Lu'an, whom Lu Xiao had seen, and the other was a fierce veteran with a white beard - Han Teng.

"Boom!"

Just as Cheng Yanjin was about to step forward to attack, a thunderbolt suddenly flashed from the small treasure cave, temporarily shocking Cheng Yanjin.

Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and through this thunder and lightning aura that was obviously different from the Guigu Dao Technique, he finally recalled the true identities of these three people.

Cheng Yanjin, who was so angry that he screamed, attracted most of the attention of the trio, and Lu Xiao hid behind and quietly pinched his hands to cast spells, without revealing obvious spiritual power fluctuations.

"Daring bandit! How dare you be presumptuous in front of this seat! ”

"Yuwentuo" is dressed like a look, and the voice is very similar to the real Yuwentuo.

"This seat is the Great Sui Taishi Yuwen Tuo, in the name of His Majesty, to recapture the Shending that was robbed by you."

Majestically glanced at Cheng Yanjin and Qin Shubao, who were suppressed by their identities as "themselves", and "Yuwen Tuo" glanced at the two behind him.

"Master Yuwen?" Qin Qiong frowned and pressed Cheng Yanjin, who was still about to attack: "Brother, don't be impulsive, you should have heard the rumors about the Taishi." ”

Tuoba Yuer also looked solemnly at the imposing "Yuwen Tuo".

'Is he the Great Sui's Zhenguo Taishi, an inhuman-level powerhouse who Lu Xiao can't match? ’

Yongzhen had already discovered Lu Xiao's small actions in secret, although she didn't know what was going on, but according to her understanding of Lu Xiao, Yongzhen instinctively had doubts.

Is there something wrong with these three people? ’

"Hehe~"

Just as "Yuwen Tuo" was complacent and ready to launch a spell to evacuate, Lu Xiao, who was standing behind, suddenly let out a sarcastic chuckle.

"Master Yuwen? Don't make me laugh. ”

"The dignified Yuwen Taishi will also spray incense on his body?"

Lu Xiao mobilized the power of the five elements in the atmosphere, and the momentum was even greater than the thunder spell sent out by "Yuwen Tuo" before, and it roared in the cave.

"Demons! Manifest yourself as you are! ”

"Taiyin Divine Thunder!"
