In the brightly lit main hall, Guan Shuo was sitting with Xiang Hao with a smile on his face, and the two of them sat at the bottom of Lao Gao, who looked out of the door with a twinkle in his eyes.

Qin Wen and the others walked into the hall, and Guan Shuo introduced with a smile: "This is the great elder of the Qin family I am talking about, and he has been following my personal guards since there was Luming City. ”

Xiang Hao got up at this time and smiled, "Elder Qin, it's really a blessing. ”

Guan Shuo's eyes were full of strange lights, he knew Xiang Hao's identity, and now he was so polite to one of his former personal guards, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious in his heart, and then he opened his mouth to introduce Qin Wen and said: "This is a Danshi disciple of the Qin family, who followed him to see this official today." ”

Then he said to the Great Elder: "This is Xiang Gongzi from the capital, I came here today to discuss something with this official, and I just need the assistance of your Qin family, so I called you over." ”

The Great Elder also saluted Xiang Hao at this time: "Xiang Gongzi," as soon as the words came out, Xiang Hao stopped and said: "The title of Gongzi will be exempted, and Xiang Hao will have to rely on the help of the elders more in the future." ”

Qin Wen arched his hand slightly at this time and said, "I didn't expect Brother Xiang to come to visit the city lord today." ”

Xiang Hao smiled and said, "If you know that Brother Qin is a guest at the City Lord's Mansion today, we will come together." ”

When Guan Shuo heard the conversation between the two, he asked with a little curiosity, "You know each other?"

Xiang Hao nodded and said: "Guan City Lord, what I said just now about the attack on Muzha Pass, it was Brother Qin who saved us at that time, and when I returned to the capital, I was also ready to invite Brother Qin to the mansion to be a Danshi worship, and we have been living together during this time." ”

"Uh," Guan Shuo's face was stunned, and he looked at Qin Wen with some surprise, but listening to Qin Wen's words, Xiang Hao's identity should not be clear, so he re-examined Qin Wen, and his mind turned quickly, it seems that he will deepen his connection with the Qin family on this basis in the future.

He also raised his body slightly and said, "Come, you don't have to be formal, sit down quickly." ”

At this time, the Great Elder already knew that the young man named Xiang Hao in front of him should be the family that Qin Wen said asked him to be a Dan Master, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Qin Wen guessed from Lao Gao's realm of servants, as well as Xiang Hao's demeanor, especially in the fact that he could complete a specific top-grade elixir overnight, and guessed that their family must be either rich or noble, and it was also expected that they could have a connection with the city lord of Luming.

After several people were seated, Guan Shuo glanced at Xiang Hao, only to see Xiang Hao nodding slightly, Guan Shuo said: "Xiang Gongzi has an important thing to do when he comes to Luming City this time, Gucheng Mountain has found a red chalcedony stone mine, we have to go in and get some things back, how many monks in your Qin family are there who are on the upper rank?"

The Great Elder thought for a moment and said, "If it is a monk of the upper rank of the Xuan Scholars, our Qin family will only have me and the fifth brother, but the fifth brother has a combined attack array in his hand, if our five brothers join forces to use the array disk, the power of the combined attack will not be inferior to that of the five monks of the upper level of the Xuan Scholars." ”

Guan Shuo nodded, the Great Elder used to be his personal guard, and he also knew about this combined attack array, Lao Gao frowned slightly at this time and said: "The cultivation of the Guan City Lord is at the lower level of the Xuan Master, I am the upper level of the Xuan Master, plus the five members of the Qin family, I don't know if there are any other candidates for the Guan City Lord?"

Guan Shuo groaned at this time and said: "There are still a few Xuanshi in my mansion to worship, but if you are involved in this matter, it is estimated that there are three people who can keep the secret, and I can still pick out some in other families, at most there are about ten Xuanshi monks, and if there are more, I am afraid that the wind will leak to the counselor." ”

Xiang Hao picked up the teacup on the table at this time and took a sip and said: "The city lord is reasonable, this matter must be kept secret for the time being, Lao Gao and I have been mixed into the red chalcedony stone mine, and there are more than a dozen Hu people mages in Kulie's camp, which is what we have to focus on, as for those ordinary body cultivators, although they are brave in close combat, as long as they can lay down the protective array I brought, they will not be able to break it." ”

Guan Shuo thought for a while and asked, "I don't know how long it will take for Xiang Gongzi and Gao Lao to go to the mine, and that thing will be mined out, so I should prepare early." ”

Lao Gao said at this time: "It should be another two or three months, and the thing will be mined in the red chalcedony stone mine to a position of forty zhang, we will set off in two and a half months, and after arriving at Gucheng Mountain, I will go to check first, and when the right opportunity comes, we will enter the mine, lay down the protective array, and after taking out the things, we can work together to kill it." ”

Guan Shuo said with some doubts at this time: "Last time I led the army to Qingshitan, I didn't expect that there was a mage in Kulie's army who could put out a hundred-mile array, I was afraid that when the time comes, our protective formation will be broken, and it will be a little troublesome." ”

"Hundred Miles Great Array?" Lao Gao pondered slightly: "This is a bit tricky, but there have been constant internal disputes among the Hu people over the years, and the Military Intelligence Department has not found that there are Xuanling Realm formation masters among the Hu people, and it is estimated that they can get the formation plate from a certain sect to lay down this hundred miles of array." ”

"In addition, there is a monk who looks like a young child among the Hu people, this person is vicious, I fell in love with him when I was in Gucheng Mountain, after encountering it, you must also be careful. ”

Guan Shuo stroked the beard under his chin with his hand and said: "Counting me and Elder Gao, there can be at least five monks in the Xuanshi realm, plus about fifteen monks in the Xuanshi realm, with a protective array disk, we should also be able to go to the red chalcedony stone mine to break through, Ku Lie should not have any defense, and our chances of success should still be relatively large." ”

Qin Wen had already figured out a little clue in his heart at this time, he could invite the lord of a city to come to danger in person, the shili behind this Xiang Hao must be extraordinary, and Guan Shuo would not be so enthusiastic if he didn't have enough returns, and then think about what Guan Shuo said in the side hall just now, after the defeat of the Qingshitan army, the counselor's actions should have touched some of Guan Shuo's foundations.

Behind the counselor must be some shili representing the court, and Guan Shuo is so risky, Xiang Hao's shili should be enough to compete with the counselor, and now what makes Qin Wen puzzled is that Xiang Hao has such a big shili, how can he go deep into the mining area of the Hu people alone with a master and a servant?

However, the matter of the red chalcedony mine, Qin Wen knows that although this red chalcedony ore is precious, it is also relatively common, but the associated purple chalcedony essence inside is a rare refining weapon, a high-end material for refining array plates, listening to the meaning of Xiang Hao and Lao Gao's words, Qin Wen has determined that the position of forty zhang in this red marrow ore is accompanied by purple marrow essence, and they are here for this purple marrow essence.

Xiang Hao's eyes flashed with a slight resolute light and said: "We have made up our minds for the time being, the city lord will contact reliable people these days, don't leak this matter, and when the matter is completed, my promise will be fulfilled." By the way, City Lord, if you leave the city for a while, this Luming City won't have any effect, right?"

Guan Shuo said calmly: "No problem, although the Hu people are stationed in Muzha Pass now, according to the past practice, if they send troops, they should be sowing in the spring next year, and I will say to the outside world that they are in retreat and cultivation, and no one will doubt it." ”

The Great Elder hesitated a little at this time: "City Lord, it is no problem for the five of us brothers to follow you to Gucheng Mountain, but the elders and children of this family are now in Yinxia Mountain, I am afraid that the Du family will make any moves, and no one will be able to resist it at that time." ”

Guan Shuo pondered for a while, his eyes slowly swept over the faces of Xiang Hao and Lao Gao, Lao Gao naturally knew that he had a conclusion in his heart, but it was inconvenient for the two of them to say it here, so he smiled slightly: "Guan City Lord, this time I went deep into Hudi, although the number of people is not large, but it is also the same as marching and fighting, the family affairs are not stable, and the soldiers are inevitably distracted outside. ”

Guan Shuo nodded and said, "That's fine, but the Du family has been settled in my Luming City for decades, and in addition to the Qin family, we can help in secret, so as not to make other family members uneasy." ”

Lao Gao said with a gloomy smile on his face: "I have a way, I can take down the Du family in one fell swoop, and I won't expose us." ”

Guan Shuo and the Great Elder both looked pale at this time, and Xiang Hao also said with some curiosity: "What way?"

Lao Gao Wei took a sip of tea and said: "I was in the Medicine Valley that day, and I also heard some things about the Qin family, if you follow my method, your Qin family's people will move back to the manor now, and then we will secretly pick out a few monks from the Xuan Master realm to hide in the Qin family, and now the Du family has only one Xuan Shi lower level of worship, if the Du family wants to occupy the Qin family's manor, they will definitely let this worship bring people to the Qin family to kill the five elders." ”

When the Great Elder heard this, he couldn't help but nod secretly, the Du family would indeed do this, if the Qin family didn't have its own five brothers, even if there were more people in the family, they wouldn't be able to stop the Du family's monks.

Lao Gao continued at this time: "Then we will plan the plan, and when the time comes, let the Xuanshi monks hidden in the Qin family kill all the monks sent by the Du family in one fell swoop, and then let the five elders of the Qin family lead the children of the Qin family to take down the Du family." ”

Speaking of this, he said to the Great Elder: "I think that although the Du family also guarded the manor at that time, it should not be your Qin family's opponent." ”

The Great Elder immediately said, "As long as we can get rid of the Du family's Xuan Master Worship, even if the people of their Du family are in the manor, they are not our Qin family's opponents." ”

Lao Gao smiled at this time and said: "In this way, we are not exposed to the Du family's manor, although they will suspect that the Qin family has invited a high-level monk outside, but they will not think of the city lord's body, let alone expose our Jihua." It's just that after getting rid of the Du family, you also have to be careful of the revenge of the sect behind him. ”

The Great Elder said at this time: "Anyway, it is a battle, and our Qin family will never give the manor to the Du family." ”
