Chapter Ninety-Seven: Crisis

After about half a pillar of incense, Han Duan, who was looking at the wind outside, came over and said, "Teacher, a carriage has come from the road north of the city." ”

Qin Wen looked at the main road in the northeast direction, and faintly a carriage was moving towards this side, so he nodded and said, "This should be Xiang Gongzi's carriage, let's also prepare to go." ”

The carriage gradually approached, and came to the vicinity of the long pavilion, the coachman lifted the hat on his face, it turned out to be Lao Gao, and when he saw Qin Wen, he said: "The prince should not show his face in the car now, and invite the great elder, the worshipper and Miss Su to discuss matters in the car." ”

Qin Wen nodded, and then walked into the carriage with the elder and Su Ruo, the carriage that Lao Gao bought was quite spacious, Xiang Hao was made on the main seat, and there were fur-wrapped benches on both sides, Qin Wen sat on one side with the Great Elder, and Su Ruo sat on the opposite side.

Xiang Hao looked at Su Ruo and said: "This is Miss Su, today I heard Lao Gao say that the girl can help refine the purple pulp essence, the pickaxe is really grateful, in Luming City, it is inconvenient for me to show up to ask the girl in person, and please forgive the girl." ”

Su Ruo said lightly: "Qin Wen is the worship of your mansion, he used to be kind to me, refining the purple pulp essence is just a matter of time, Xiang Gongzi is too polite." ”

At this time, Lao Gao, who was driving outside, heard Han Duan and the second elder still talking about the Xuanxuan, so he asked inside the car, "Qin Xianfeng, when did you meet the Xuanxuan Heavy Armor?"

At this time, Qin Wen thought that Zhao was Xiang Kuang's offering, and also understood that the Xuanxuan heavy armor in Xiang Kuang's hand was still a relatively big threat to Xiang Hao, so he said: "When we first came out of the city, we met Zhao Xianfeng, and then he brought the soldiers of the Xuanxuan heavy armor to chase us, and Zuihou is counselor called him back, and he didn't fight." ”

Lao Gao outside was silent for a moment, and then said, "Brother Xiao Han, you help drive the car, and I will discuss some things in the car." After speaking, he lifted the curtain and bent down into the car.

Lao Gao sat cross-legged on the board of the car and asked with a solemn expression: "Zhao Xianfeng, do you mean Zhao Lin in Xiang Kuang's mansion?"

Qin Wen shook his head and said: "I only know that he should be worshiped in Xiang Kuang's mansion, I heard that the city lord and counselor called him Zhao to worship that day, and I didn't know his name, but he also had a spirit mink." Then he briefly talked about his grudge with Zhao in the city lord's mansion.

Xiang Hao and Lao Gao glanced at each other, nodded and said, "If it is a spirit mink, then it should be Zhao Lin." ”

Lao Gao showed a contemplative expression on his face, and asked after a while, "You met him when you were out of the city, did he just enter the city?"

The Great Elder shook his head and said: "I took a look at the soldiers guarding the city at that time, they were all city guards, if he hadn't rushed out, I really hadn't noticed him, judging from the direction he rushed out, it should be on the city gate tower." ”

"Upstairs at the city gate?" Lao Gao pondered carefully at this time, and suddenly his face changed: "Oops, it seems that Xiang Kuang has been prepared for a long time, he should be ambushed at the gates of the four cities There are spies brought by the capital, young master, we should be followed now." ”

Xiang Hao's face turned cold and said: "We are too careless, if it weren't for Qin Offering meeting Zhao Lin, now we are still in the dark, by the way, Qin Offering, how many Xuan Crossbow Heavy Armor did Zhao Lin bring at that time?"

Qin Wen thought for a while and said, "There should be one or twenty people, and I don't know the exact number." ”

Lao Gao deduced for a moment and said: "There are twenty people at one city gate, and there are eighty at four city gates, and a team of Xuanxuan crossbow heavy armor is a total of one hundred and fifty people. ”

Speaking of this, his face suddenly sank and said: "Young master, these Xuanxuan crossbow heavy armor should be kept by Xiang Kuang to prepare to deal with us, our target in the city is too big, and he doesn't dare to make a move in broad daylight, it is estimated that he wants to follow us to the wilderness and kill it in one fell swoop, a team of Xuanxuan crossbow heavy armor, even a monk in the Xuan Ling period may not be able to escape." ”

Xiang Hao hesitated for a moment and said, "Then what now, should we go around to other places first, get rid of the spies who are following behind, and then go to the Qin Clan's Manor." ”

Lao Gao shook his head and said: "It's late, the spies should send back the letter when we meet in the Changting, the counselor and Zhao Lin will understand that we are following the worship to the Qin family, even if we get rid of the spies, he will directly send someone to the Qin family to investigate, and our group can't hide their whereabouts at all." ”

"Now we have to go directly to the manor, first refine the purple pulp, I don't think they dare to do it in the city, and they won't do it in the manor, he should wait until we get out of the Qin manor, and attack halfway, and now Xiang Kuang and Guan Fu are in Luming City, they will definitely not give people a handle, the most likely ambush location should be in a place that has no boundary with Luming City." ”

Xiang Hao listened to Lao Gao's analysis, and couldn't help nodding, and then he said apologetically to the Great Elder: "It's also our carelessness, this time the Qin family was implicated, when I return to the capital, I must transfer Guan Fu out of Luming City as soon as possible, and when Guan Shuo's affairs are well run, I promise you that the Qin family will have the largest manor in Luming City." ”

The Great Elder also knew in his heart that his Qin clan and Guan Shuo were both prosperous, even if there was no current incident, after Guan Fu took control of Luming City, his Qin family would also be the target of his cleanup.

What's more, in these two conflicts with Zhao Lin, he also understood that the counselor did not want to reconcile the relationship, but was afraid of exposing any target, and when Guan Fu really controlled Luming City, according to the temperament that he saw Zhao Lin just now, the entire Qin family would become the object of his anger, and the Qin family would not have any ability to resist in front of him at all.

Now the only way is to follow Guan Shuo and Xiang Hao, not to mention that Qin Wen is still Xiang Hao's worship, as long as this period of time can be passed, then the Qin family will usher in a big opportunity for development.

Thinking of this, he bowed his head slightly to Xiang Hao and said: "Xiang Gongzi said so, I will see the outside, our five brothers have all served as soldiers under the city lord, and the prince is a distinguished guest in the city lord's mansion, and Ah Wen will go to the capital after that, and I want Gongzi to take care of it more, although I Qin Da has not experienced a big scene, but these storms in front of me can still resist." ”

"If it really doesn't work, let the clansmen disperse to other places to avoid the limelight first, and I will take the monks of the Qin family to follow the city lord together. ”

Lao Gao smiled and nodded: "This method is good, you will prepare it after you go back, I think Guan Shuo only needs to do it according to our discussion today, and in a few days, Guan Fu can only let him lead the troops out of the city, and then you will take the rest of the clansmen with Guan Shuo, which is the safest." ”

When Qin Wen heard this, his heart also relaxed a lot, just now he was still a little worried, in case he followed Xiang Hao to the capital, Zhao Lin couldn't find himself in the Qin family's manor, and he was angry with the Qin clan, then his sin would be great, and now he heard the Great Elder's countermeasures, it was relatively safe.

The sky was getting dark, the carriage entered the Qin manor, the great elder had already gotten out of the car and the other four elders at this time to discuss the evacuation of the Qin clan, because this time it was not an invasion of the Hu people, and the migration of the whole clan was not suitable, so they were ready to let the old and young women and children of each family go to the nearby relatives, and the rest of the monks stayed in the manor, inquiring about the news of Guan Shuo, and when Guan Shuo left the city, he followed him to the defense line on the side.

While the five elders were arranging these things, Qin Wen walked into the Medicine Valley with Su Ruo and Xiang Hao, followed by Lao Gao, Han Duan, Lu Mo, and the Ao clan.

As soon as he entered the Medicine Valley, he saw that Xiaoxi was rearing the elixir, and Qin Wen said with a smile on his face: "Xiaoxi, is your master here?"

Xiaoxi saw that it was Qin Wen, and hurriedly put down the medicinal materials in his hand and said, "My master is dispensing medicine with Sister Shuang'er in the Dan room, I'll call them." ”

Hearing Qin Wen's voice, Zuo Yi and Shuang'er walked out of the Dan room, and after a few words of greeting with Zuo Yi, Qin Wen led Su Ruo into the Dan room.

Shuang'er hurriedly followed, packing up the elixir on the stone table, looking at Su Ruo with some curiosity in her eyes, Qin Wen walked to her at this time and looked at the elixir on it, and asked, "Shuang'er, what kind of elixir are you preparing now?"

Shuang'er carefully sorted the elixir and said, "Young Master, this is the Guyuan Pill that Zuo Enshrined wants to refine, is the Young Master also going to refine the Pill when he comes back this time?"

Qin Wen shook his head and said: "This time it's Miss Su who wants to refine the ore, Shuang'er, I will take you to the capital in a few days, you can prepare first in the next few days, and tell your mother about it." ”

Shuang'er nodded and agreed, her fingers deftly cleaned up all the elixirs, and then asked Qin Wen, "Young Master, is there anything else?"

Qin Wen saw that only Xiang Hao, Lao Gao, and Su Ruo walked in the Dan room, and said to Shuang'er: "You go and prepare some tea and bring it to the house, and let Han Duan help me take care of the Aoyu outside first, by the way, what about Ah Xiao?"

Shuang'er wiped the stone table clean and said, "Young Master Xiao went to the manor in the south, and he took people to refine the elixir of the lower grade of the Xuan level. ”

Qin Wen knew that she was talking about the Du family's manor, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you can go." ”

After Su Ruo checked the earth fire, he turned around and saw Shuang'er leaving obediently, and a strange feeling rippled in his heart, and he smiled a little jerky and asked Qin Wen, "This is your maid?"

Qin Wen didn't care too much, nodded and said: "Her name is Shuang'er, I met her in Luming City, her talent for dispensing medicine is very good, and she has been following Zuo to worship in the manor during this time. ”

After Su Ruo's mood was lost in an instant, she calmed down again, and she didn't know that she would suddenly think of this, this kind of master-servant relationship was simply normal, and what did Qin Wen have to do with herself? She couldn't help but secretly smack herself in her heart, and a trace of blush appeared on her face
