Chapter Ninety-Nine: Parting
Su Ruo looked at Lu Mo coldly, Qin Wen knew that it was a little inconvenient for him to be in the Dan room now, according to Su Ruo's current cultivation, he didn't have to worry about Lu Mo resisting at all, so he said to Su Ruo: "Lu Mo I have already brought it to you, if there is nothing else, we will go out first." ”
Lu Mo had already understood that Qin Wen had handed himself over to Su Ruo at this time, so he hurriedly spoke: "Young Master Qin, Young Master Qin, for the sake of me finding the purple pulp essence for you, don't you hand me over to her, she, she will definitely kill me." ”
Han Duan sneered and said: "The teacher didn't kill you in the mine cave of Gucheng Mountain, if you want to blame, you can only blame yourself, you hurt Miss Su to jump off the cliff that day, and it is only natural to hand you over to her today." ”
Seeing that Qin Wen and Han Duan were about to leave the Dan Room, Lu Mo suddenly thought of a way in his mind at this time, so he hurriedly said: "Don't kill me, I still have some information about spiritual objects in this Hu Land, if you don't kill me, I can tell you the location of these spiritual objects." ”
"By the way, there is also an epiphany, and it will be able to reach the top-grade elixir in another ten years, and it can refine the top-grade anti-aging elixir, which is especially suitable for you, Miss Su. ”
"I used to lead people in search of spiritual objects under Motuo's men, and I marked some haode ores and elixirs for myself to keep, and if you have time, I can take you to find them now. ”
Lu Mo has gained insight into the psychology of the Great Qi monks these days, as long as he can successfully persuade Su Ruo this time, then his life should be able to be saved for a period of time in the future, and he dare not hope to get the antidote and freedom, as long as he can temporarily save his life first, there will be a chance in the future.
Han Duan looked at Qin Wen and Su Ruo at this time, and said with some caution: "Teacher, I think it's better to keep him, now Miss Su is safe and sound, it's a pity to leave so many spiritual objects, and with him, a monk who is familiar with the terrain of Hudi, it will be much more convenient for us to go to Hudi in the future." ”
Qin Wen set his eyes on Su Ruo at this time, Su Ruo didn't have too many thoughts in his heart, so he nodded and said: "Since he still has the spirit ore and the elixir, then leave him with a life first, Qin Wen, I have already obtained the purple pulp essence this time, and I will be ready to go back to the mountain in the next two days, and it is not convenient to take him with me, it is better to let him follow you, and when the Tan Lian can be picked, I will go to the capital to find you." ”
Qin Wen nodded slightly, and at this time, Lu Mo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart when he saw Su Ruo open his mouth to let him go, and at this time, he heard Lao Gao's voice outside: "Qin Xian, someone in the manor came to deliver a message just now, saying that the Guan City Lord is going to pass here." ”
Qin Wen was just about to speak, when he heard Su Ruo speak at this time: "Senior senior, your purple pulp essence has been refined, you can come in and count it." ”
Lao Gao and Xiang Hao pushed the door and walked into the Dan room at this time, Su Ruo took out the refined haode purple charrow essence from his storage bag, and then put it on the stone table in a whole pile and said, "A total of sixty catties." ”
Lao Gao looked at the crystal clear purple charrow essence, and thanked him with a smile: "Miss Su, thank you so much, thanks to you this time, we can go back and forth to Fengwu Mountain." ”
Su Ruo saw that everything she had to do had been done, and it was estimated that Qin Wen would be going to the capital in the next few days, so she said, "Okay, let's go out, I don't have anything to do here, and I'll go back to the mountain today." ”
Hearing that she was leaving, Lao Gao hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Su, now it is inconvenient for me and the young master to go out to see you off, so let Qin worship do it for you." ”
Su Ruo smiled faintly and said, "Senior don't be polite, maybe I will go to the capital to disturb my seniors in the future." ”
Qin Wen thought about it at this time and said: "Let's go, I'll send you out, maybe I'll go to the capital in a few days, if you have something, you can go to the Duanwang Mansion in the capital to find me, or you can leave a letter in the Qin Manor, anyway, I will have to communicate with the manor after a while." ”
Su Ruo nodded, and the two walked out of the medicine valley side by side, silently not knowing what to say along the way, seeing that they had walked to the official road of the Qin family's manor, Su Ruo slightly put away the melancholy in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, you don't send it, if you have leisure in the future, go to the Yuqing Courtyard in the Ziyun Mountain Range to find me." ”
Qin Wen nodded, Su Ruo walked towards the official road as soon as he started, Qin Wen looked at the gradually blurred figure in front of him, and there was a faint feeling of loss in his heart.
At this moment, a fast horse galloped from the east and walked to Qin Wen's side, and the person on horseback turned over and dismounted: "Young Master Wen, the city lord's men and horses are behind, I will come back first to report to the elders." ”
Qin Wen nodded and said, "You go back and report the news first, I'll meet you here." ”
In about half a pillar of incense, the five elders and the patriarch all hurried over, and at this time, they also faintly saw a neat army on the official road ahead.
Everyone welcomed Guan Shuo into the manor, until they came to the council hall, the five elders and the patriarch sat together, Qin Wen sat at the bottom, and after sending all the slaves behind him, he asked people to invite Xiang Hao and Lao Gao in the medicine valley.
After everyone sat down, Guan Shuo arched his hand to Lao Gao and said: "Thank you Gao Lao, this time thanks to Gao Lao's planning, Guan Fu let me lead the troops out of Luming City, when I went out of the city, I just met the Qin family waiting, so I brought the troops here, I didn't expect Gao Lao and Xiang Gongzi to return to the capital." ”
Lao Gao thought for a while and said: "Today's Gongzi's affairs have just been completed, I want to plan to leave in the next two days, by the way, I don't know what kind of military order Guan Fu sent to the Guan City Lord this time?"
Guan Shuo bowed slightly and said: "The position of the city lord has been removed from the military department, Guan Shuo is now guilty, and this time he led five thousand city guards to let me capture the Muzha Pass." ”
Lao Gao opened his mouth and asked, "Is the Guan City Lord sure to take the Muzha Pass?"
Guan Shuo shook his head with a slightly wry smile and said: "Kulie has placed two large tribes in the Muzha Pass, at least more than 10,000 people, and the Muzha Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if there are 20,000 horses, it may not be able to capture the pass, and if it is defended for about ten days, Kulie will also send reinforcements from Gucheng Mountain, I only have 5,000 men and horses this time, and Guan Fu obviously asked me to send him to death." ”
At this time, the Great Elder smiled and said: "City Lord, you don't have to worry about the Muzha Pass, two days ago, Kulie ordered the tribes of the Zha Pass to start moving back, but he moved back in batches with the herd, and left tents for suspicious tactics, and now it is estimated that only a few smaller tribes are still stationed there, probably to wait until the spring of the next year to move back, the city lord's five thousand soldiers and horses want to capture the Muzha Pass is an easy matter." ”
Guan Shuo said with a puzzled look on his face at this time: "When did you get the news?" When I came today, I went to check the secret report of the secret agent in the mountain pass, and it was written that the Hu tribe did not move in the slightest. ”
The Great Elder hesitated for a moment and explained, "Does the City Lord still remember Qin Shun? He used to be the captain of the horse scout for the secret report of Muzha Mountain Pass, and these news were all transmitted by him. ”
Guan Shuo suddenly realized: "You mean the secret report that Qin Shun brought back." ”
The Great Elder nodded and said, "When I came back from the city, I knew that the city lord might lead the troops out of the city during this time, so I specially found Qin Shun and asked him to go to Muzha Pass to monitor the movements of the Hu people. ”
"Two days ago, Qin Shun himself returned to the manor to deliver a letter, saying that the Hu soldiers of the Muzha Pass had a move to retreat, and I thought that if Guan Fu asked the city lord to send troops, he would definitely attack the Muzha Pass, and if he didn't get any news from the city lord in the past few days, he would have to send the information to the city again before the two tribes of Kulie had withdrawn. ”
Guan Shuo asked at this time: "The secret agents of the Weishenme City Guards didn't detect it?"
The Great Elder got up at this time and said, "Qin Shun sneaked into the Hu people's camp that day, and only got the information, it is estimated that the secret agents of the city guard army should only pay attention to whether the Hu people have any signs of invasion on the periphery of the mountain pass, and did not expect that the Hu people would suddenly withdraw the army." ”
Guan Shuo hesitated for a moment and said, "Why did this Kulie suddenly withdraw from the tribe? Could it be some trick?"
At this time, Lao Gao next to him thought for a while and said: "It shouldn't be, since it is a secret withdrawal, and there is still a suspicious plan to leave, it means that it is really withdrawn to Gucheng Mountain, and it is cold and freezing, generally speaking, our Daqi rarely sends troops at this time, and it is estimated that something happened in his tribe, so he had to withdraw his troops." ”
However, he didn't want to give up the Muzha Pass, so he had to use suspicious tactics to confuse the horses outside, and then quietly withdraw the army, I think it shouldn't be long before he will send troops back. ”
Speaking of this, he smiled slightly and said, "But when Kulie comes back, he will definitely regret it, because at that time, Muzha Pass was already the city lord's. ”
Guan Shuo opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Okay, the soldiers are fast, I will send troops to Muzha Pass now." ”
The Great Elder said at this time: "When I came back from the city last time, I was ambushed by Zhao Xianfeng, who was injured by the spirit mink, on the way, I was afraid that he would be unfavorable to the Qin family during this time, so I dismissed the old and young women and children first, and kept the strong men of the family to prepare to follow the city lord together." ”
Guan Shuo nodded and said, "Okay, you can go and gather people now, form a battalion by yourself, and follow behind the city guards." ”
Qin Wen suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and said to Lao Gao: "Lao Gao, it's better for us to follow the army of the Guan City Lord, so that we can also avoid the spies sent by Xiang Kuang." ”
Xiang Hao also came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly clapped his hands and smiled: "This is a good idea, follow the army of thousands of people, and when it is time to camp, we will leave quietly, even if Xiang Kuang can think that we will follow the army, he can't guess the time when we will leave." ”
The clansmen of the Qin clan had already assembled in the square outside the council hall, and the Great Elder personally led the team out of the manor, and Qin Wen and Xiang Hao also mixed in with the clansmen, following Guan Shuo's army towards the Muzha Pass.
