Chapter Seventy-Four: The Plan
The scene became cold all of a sudden, the gray-clothed man was so unreasonable that Guan Shuo didn't know how to answer for a while, Gao Zhang's bloody nature also came up at this time, and his face turned red and said: "Although our skills are not as good as others, but we are all men who fought in the field, and we will never let others be humiliated, as long as I still have a breath today, you don't want to take Qin Wen away." ”
After speaking, with a resolute expression, the monks who came with Guan Shuo on the side also showed the same hatred and hatred, and the gray-clothed man looked coldly at the monks around him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said to Guan Shuo: "Guan City Lord, this monk of Luming City is so majestic, he doesn't even pay attention to this offering, do you know who I am?"
Guan Shuo's eyes were slightly cold, but remembering the identity of the gray-clothed man, he had to secretly endure this breath, arched his hand and said: "This Qin Wen is a junior of the mansion, why should Zhao worship be as knowledgeable as the junior, as for the injury to the enshrined spirit mink, the government will definitely punish him, how much compensation is needed for the worship, as long as you say a number, the mansion will give it double." ”
The man in gray sneered: "Do you think that this offering is here to blackmail you? As for the things in Luming City, I really haven't taken a fancy to it, and today I just want this kid to pay for my spirit mink." ”
Guan Shuo's face also turned cold and said: "Lose your life?" Could it be that the younger generation of this mansion is not as good as a mere spirit mink, Zhao Xianfeng today I am kind enough to persuade you for the sake of the face of your guests, if you insist on going your own way, don't forget that this Luming City is still under the jurisdiction of this mansion." ”
The gray-clothed man hahadaxiao said: "I see that you, the city lord, are also coming to an end, in a few days, wait." As soon as he said this, a person suddenly flew out of the wall, and casually interrupted his words: "Zhao Xianfeng, we had a good conversation just now, why did you suddenly run to the city lord's mansion." ”
At this time, he saluted Guan Shuo and said, "Guan City Lord, what the hell is going on?"
Guan Shuo saw that the person who came in was the counselor of the post station next to him, and he also returned the salute slightly: "The spirit marten enshrined by Zhao ran to my mansion and was injured by a junior, and Zhao enshrined my junior to compensate for it with his life." ”
The counselor looked at the spirit marten that had been lying in the crook of the gray-clothed man's hand and said: "It's no wonder that Zhao Xianfeng is distressed, this official heard in the capital that this spirit marten was given by Zhao Xian's master, but it is not necessary to let the younger generations of the city lord die." Speaking of this, he suddenly glanced at Qin Wen beside him.
With a little doubt, he said, "Aren't you the son of the Qin family?"
Qin Wen saluted at this time: "Qin Wen has seen the Counselor, this spirit marten was injured by me just now. ”
The counselor smiled and said: "It turns out that Xiao Qin is still the junior of the city lord, since this is the case, you and I can be regarded as having a relationship, and this matter will be made on your behalf." ”
As he spoke, he returned to the side of the man in gray, and said with a flickering eye: "Zhao Xianfeng, I think this matter is over, and it is not a short time for you to catch up with this official, and it is time to go back to Huatian Pavilion to protect the son." As for the matter of this spirit mink, you will sell the official a face, and Xiao Qin and the official are also acquaintances, so how about asking him to compensate you a Xuan-level high-grade elixir as a resource for healing?"
The gray-clothed man saw the counselor helping Qin Wen speak, his face couldn't help but feel cold, and he was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard a voice in his ear: "Gongzi has already said just now, let you not be entangled with the surname Guan, so as not to affect the big plan." ”
The gray-clothed man glared at Qin Wen hatefully at this time, and threw a sentence at the counselor: "You have the final say." After speaking, he flew away from the City Lord's Mansion.
The counselor was also stunned for a moment, but he also knew the temperament of the gray-clothed man, so he said to Guan Shuo: "Guan City Lord, Zhao Xianfeng is my old friend in the capital, and today he also came to the post station to catch up with me. ”
As soon as he turned around to leave, Qin Wen took out a jade bottle from his storage bag and handed it to the counselor, "Lord Counselor, there is a Xuan-grade elixir in here. ”
The counselor took the jade bottle and said with a smile in his eyes: "Okay, okay, I will transfer this to Zhao Xian, and I will leave." After speaking, he walked out of the courtyard, and Guan Shuo also walked out and sent him outside the mansion.
The matter was over, but everyone was not in the mood to drink, and hurriedly finished eating in the main hall of the housekeeper and said goodbye.
On the second day, as soon as Qin Wen got up, he heard Han Duan outside: "Teacher, the elder asked you to go to his room." ”
Qin Wen walked into the Great Elder's room, and saw that the Great Elder was sitting at the table with a slight frown, so he asked, "Elder, do you have something to do with me?"
The Great Elder nodded and said, "Just now the city lord sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that we should go to his mansion from the side gate today, after yesterday's incident, I think it should be Jihua has changed, Ah Wen, let's go down to eat first, and then go to the city lord's mansion." ”
After breakfast, Qin Wen left Han Duan in the inn, and then followed the Great Elder to the City Lord's Mansion again, this time it was the road steward who was waiting outside the side door, and when he saw the two approaching, he whispered hello, and then the three of them entered the side door together.
The road steward led the way in front, watching him walk all the way to the backyard, there were few slaves coming and going on the quiet bluestone road, turning a rockery in the courtyard, entering the pavilion corridor surrounding the pond, and walking more than ten meters to the side before entering an inner hall.
As soon as Qin Wen entered the inner hall, he saw Xiang Hao and Lao Gao sitting on the upper seat, Guan Shuo was accompanying him in the main seat, Gao Zhang and several other monks from the Xuanshi realm were sitting at the bottom, and there were seven or eight monks from the Xuanshi realm near the door. ”
After Qin Wen sat down, he listened to Guan Shuo say: "A few days ago, I was preparing to wait until the senior was completely recovered, and then set off to Gucheng Mountain, but the day before yesterday, the third prince suddenly came to Luming City, which made Jihua a little changed, I invited Xiang Gongzi to come to the mansion early this morning, and after discussion, I was ready to leave in advance, and the time was set to three days later." ”
Gao Zhang hesitated for a moment at this time and said, "City Lord, is it a little hasty? Now that the city guards have not yet made complete arrangements, if we leave, will the counselor's side intervene?"
Guan Shuo smiled faintly and said: "Even if he doesn't leave, he has already intervened, plus the third prince came here this time, and now the situation in the city is even more complicated, this time my excuse to the outside world is to retreat and practice, and I can also take this opportunity to clean up and see what tricks they can toss?"
Speaking of this, he waved his hand to the road steward and said, "Old road, bring the sand table up." ”
The road steward and a steward next to him walked out of the room, and after a while, a two-zhang long wooden platform was moved from the outside, and various spiritual sand made of mountains and rivers in it, and the terrain near this Luming City was on this sand table, and it was clear at a glance.
Guan Shuo approached the sand table, pointed to a pass outside the city and said: "This is the Muzha Pass, which is now garrisoned by the Hu people, and our exit from the customs this time is a secret operation, so we can't leave here." His finger then moved to the left along the Muzha Pass before landing on a blue flag.
Guan Shuo looked at Xiang Hao at this time and said: "There is a path that is often taken by medicine pickers, Xiang Gongzi came back from here last time, and now the patrol range of the Hu people has gradually expanded to here, and we will use this as a backup road." ”
Then he moved his finger to the left, pointing to a red flag at the mountain stream and said, "The road here is more difficult, and there is no ladder bridge built at the cliff, but it should not be a problem for us monks, and my opinion is that if the road next to it cannot be passed, we will take this road." ”
At this time, he paused slightly and said: "If you take the road on the far left, it will take you more than a thousand miles to reach Gucheng Mountain, but the tribe of the Hu people here is relatively small, and the speed of travel should not be slow." ”
His fingers kept moving on the undulating mountain, and then stopped in a valley not far from the bluestone beach, put his hand on the top of the valley and said: "This place is only more than 200 miles away from the bluestone beach, and the nearby mountains are barren and have no pasture, so we will stop here and send people to the mine in Gucheng Mountain every day to inquire about the situation." ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Lao Gao again: "Elder Gao, how do you think the manpower this time will be arranged?"
Lao Gao nodded and said: "This time, we are a total of six monks from the Xuanshi realm, twenty monks from the Xuanshi realm, and the route of the walk has been made clear by the city lord just now, I have a formation plate here, and when I am on the road, the monks of the Xuanshi realm will practice the formation on the formation plate together." ”
"When the time comes, when I enter the mine, there are five monks in the Xuanshi realm who control the array, and the other one is a substitute outside the array, and the rest of the monks in the Xuanshi period will try their best to seize the spiritual object, as for what spiritual object is inside, when I get to the camp, I will show you the real thing. ”
Guan Shuo couldn't help but ask with some doubts at this time: "Elder Gao, this time we have a total of five monks in the Xuan Master realm, how can there be a sixth?"
Lao Gao looked at the Great Elder with a slight smile and said, "The Qin family elder should have broken through now, congratulations to the city lord for getting another powerful arm." ”
Guan Shuo looked at the Great Elder at this time, and his eyes lit up and said, "I didn't notice this. ”
The Great Elder stood up and said, "I only broke through a few days ago, and my realm is still a little unstable. ”
Lao Gao looked around at the people below: "After this fact, every Xuanshi monk, our son is willing to produce a spar, and every Xuanshi monk, a hundred high-grade spirit stones." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was silence in the hall, and everyone was stunned when they heard the reward.
