Everyone listened to what Tao Governor said, communicated with each other, and finally agreed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The three Hanlin also had no opinion, but they looked at Lu Ming very unpleasantly, but they didn't say anything.

Mu Chen said: "I am willing to provide all clues and do my best to help everyone." ”

The Tao prefect held the official seal and sent a summons to the officials of the other provinces to strengthen their guards.

At the same time, he quickly contacted Zhou Dongyue and asked him to find a way to send more manpower.

Zhou Dongyue immediately sent a summons to the imperial court, and soon received a reply, in fact, not only here in Xinghua Town, but also in various regions of other countries.

The imperial court quickly issued an order to the military camps of each state, asking the general soldiers of each state to immediately send troops to strengthen the defense of various places and strictly guard against the demons.

Lu Ming said to Mu Chen: "Lord Mu, please take out a map of Xinghua Town, we have to plan it well." ”

"Good. ”

Mu Chen took out a map from the Qiankun bag and put it on the ground, and said, "This is the map of our Xinghua Town, and the nearby terrain can be seen at a glance. ”

Lu Ming stared at the map for a moment, then pointed to a certain place and said, "The direction in which the demons left is here, and this leads to the valley, so it is very likely that their temporary stronghold is in this valley. ”

Mu Chen said: "This valley stretches for miles, and there are wild beasts living in the depths, and ordinary people can only chop wood on the periphery, but do not dare to go deep into it, so this is indeed a very good hiding place. ”

"Then we will conduct a big search of this valley, if we can seize the remaining time, we will definitely be able to find their traces, and when the time comes, as long as we keep an eye on the demons, they will not be able to turn out of our palms. ”

Everyone nodded silently, having no objection to Lu Ming's words.

"We are divided into three ways, and the Hanlin of each family will lead the children of the family into it, as long as we take care of each other, there will be no danger. ”

"Also, we need some people who know the terrain to lead us so we can be safer. ”

Hearing this, Governor Tao immediately rejoiced: "Good idea, worthy of our Lu Maocai, the command level is really not blown." ”

Mu Chen's face changed in shock, "Master Tao, could it be that he is the Zhenguo poet of our Liang Kingdom, Lu Maocai, who won the leader of the Seven Kingdoms Literary Society?"

"That's right. ”

"Long admiration of the great name, long admiration of the great name!"

Mu Chen looked excited and saluted Lu Ming.

Lu Ming said: "Master Mu, now is not the time to talk nonsense, we should act immediately, but the children of the family are all arrogant and arrogant, and no one obeys anyone, so it may not be effective." ”

Zhao Yang snorted unconvinced, and said: "Lu Maocai, it is true that we underestimated you before, but you must know that this trip is headed by the Zhao family." ”

"Has Zhao Hanlin ever killed a demon?", Lu Ming asked.

"Nope. ”

"Have you ever led troops to battle?"

"Nope. ”

"Have you ever been familiar with the art of war, knowing the time, place, and people?"

"You ......"

Zhao Yang gritted his teeth in anger, unable to refute Lu Ming's questioning, and had no temper at all.

"If you dare to make decisions without experience, you will undoubtedly take everyone to death. ”

"Tell the truth!"

Zhao Yang shouted: "Lu Ming, you don't have to make an inch, I am a dignified Hanlin, how can I allow you to talk nonsense!"

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, the dignified family Hanlin is so unbearing, how can you achieve great things in the future? I think you are just like this!"

"You ......"

Zhao Yang took two steps back, his face was blue and white for a while, and he was obviously angry.

Chen Jinnan said: "What Lu Maocai said is extremely true, although this trip is headed by the Zhao family, but in terms of command experience, I am afraid that no one present can compare with you, and our Chen family is willing to cooperate with Lu Maocai to complete the matter of eliminating demons." ”

Liu Hongliang gritted his teeth and said: "Lu Maocai is indeed reasonable, let's just do what he says, if not, we will listen to Brother Zhao's orders." ”

"Then our Zhao family has to cooperate once. Zhao Yang said reluctantly.

Mu Chen said to the villagers: "We need a few people who are familiar with the terrain of the valley to guide the path, dare to ask which villagers are willing to help us?"

As soon as the words fell, an old man walked out and said, "The old man often chops wood in the valley, and I am very familiar with the terrain there, so let me lead the way." ”

A few more people came out behind him and said, "We're familiar with the terrain there, so we'll go too." ”

"Great, that's without further ado, let's hurry up and go!"

Governor Tao greeted and led the team towards the valley.

Lu Ming, Zhang Qing and Zhang Long followed Tao Zhifu, and the others followed one after another, unwilling to fall behind.

Many people lit torches and reached the valley as fast as possible, and entered it under the leadership of the old man and others, and began to search from the periphery.

This valley is not very large, and with the current manpower, it can be explored carefully, and it did not take long to reach the depths of the valley.

"Some of the beasts inside are the territory of the beasts, and the beasts in it are mostly tigers, and you scholars are naturally not afraid, but the noses of the beasts are very smart, so everyone must be careful. ", the old man said solemnly.

Tao Zhifu said: "Thank you for leading the way, there are many dangers inside, so don't come with you, just go back." ”

"Thank you, sir, and take your leave. ”

The old man bowed his hand to everyone and returned the same way with the others.

Lu Ming looked around carefully, and saw that there were no suspicious signs nearby, so he thought about it.

"Lu Maocai, have you found anything?", Zhang Long asked.

"Not yet. Lu Ming shook his head.

Zhao Yang said in a loud voice: "Everyone search the valley carefully, don't let go of any suspicious corners, if the demon people are really hiding in the valley, they must be careful." ”

"Yes. The children of the family spoke in unison.

After a period of searching, everyone quickly found the stronghold of the demon people, as well as a few temporarily opened caves, but there was no one here.

"It seems that the demons have evacuated here in advance, huh! These guys are very smart. Tao Zhifu said in a deep voice.

Zhao Feng immediately complained: "Lu Maocai, you let us work in vain, what do you have to say now?" I have already said to let everyone have a good rest, but you have made everyone tired!"

"I have long said that let those who want to rest stand up, since we are here for the people, no matter how hard and tired it is, it is only natural. Lu Ming said.

"What a big breath! Even now, you are still pretending to be high here!", Zhao Feng said angrily.

Lu Ming didn't pay attention to it, but pondered: "Perhaps, they have moved to other places. ”

"If they all start hiding from now on, we don't know how much effort it will take to find the demons. Tao Zhifu sighed. (To be continued.) )
