There was silence in the room, the messenger had already left the main hall, Guan Shuo frowned and thought about countermeasures, Gao Zhang asked at this time: "City Lord, what did Lao Lu say in the letter?"

Guan Shuo clutched the letter paper in his hand and said: "Lao Lu used the previous code words on the letter, he said that when he entered the mansion, he was searched and interrogated, and after learning his identity, two guards followed him into the courtyard and monitored his whereabouts. ”

"There is no problem in the backyard, Guan Fu brought his own soldiers with him this siege, except for monitoring the operation, he did not confiscate the items in the house, and did not hurt anyone, but he has been notified not to leave the house, and all the people in the house should be the same. ”

Gao Zhang said at this time: "City Lord, why do I think things are a little strange? If Guan Fu comes to take over your military power, he can just issue the order in the military camp, and now you are saying that they are in retreat, it is a good time for them to take over the military power, and the counselor has more information in the city during this time, what is he waiting for?"

Hearing Gao Zhang's analysis, everyone fell into silence again, indeed as he said, although Guan Fu took over the military power of the military camp, he did not announce it to the outside world, but just silently surrounded the city lord's mansion, what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd?

Lao Gao got up at this time and said, "It's not a way for us to think of it here, or I'll go to the area around the City Lord's Mansion to check and see if they are hiding any other actions." ”

Guan Shuo also stood up with a somewhat impatient face and said, "I'll go with you." ”

Lao Gao shook his head and said: "The two of us are easy to expose, and besides, your goal is too obvious, in case someone recognizes it, it will cause trouble, I will find a carriage after I go out, and then go around the street outside the City Lord's Mansion to see how they are surrounded, if you are going to go back secretly tonight, I will also check that their defense there is weaker." ”

Gao Zhang also opened his mouth at this time to persuade Guan Shuo and said: "Yes, City Lord, our main purpose now is to find out what Guan Fu is going to do, you don't want to go for the time being, it's better to bother Elder Gao to go." ”

Lao Gao shook out of the main hall at this time, and the room suddenly became dull again, Guan Shuo always had an ominous premonition in his heart, the grievances between him and Guan Fu could not be resolved, according to his thoughts, after Guan Fu entered Luming City, he would directly strip him of his military power.

Then according to the will of the military department, he will appoint him a deputy general or a lower position, and then purge his cronies on a large scale, support the people he brought to appoint various positions, Zuihou will let himself lead his troops out to attack the Hu people, the most likely place is the Muzha Pass.

Then when sending troops to set up the formation, he used all kinds of tricks, and eventually he would be defeated by the Hu tribe, and even if he was lucky enough to escape back, Guan Fu would also play a drama of slashing the generals before the battle.

If he does that, Guan Shuo already has a countermeasure in his heart, but now he is silent, which makes him a little worried, and now he is still a little hesitant, whether to take Gao Zhang and them back to the house secretly tonight.

After about half an hour, Lao Gao returned to the main hall with a solemn face, Guan Shuo hurriedly got up and asked, "Elder Gao, what do you think of the situation?"

Lao Gao frowned at this time and said: "I always feel that something is wrong, but it is not good to say, the defense near the City Lord's Mansion is still relatively tight, originally I wanted to see if Guan Fu had a formation, the fluctuation of the aura has not changed much, but it revealed a strange atmosphere." ”

Speaking of this, he hesitated a little and said, "That feeling is like where you have encountered it?"

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and said, "It's in the mine cave of Gucheng Mountain, could it be the breath of the demon race." ”

Hearing his words, everyone present, including himself, changed their faces greatly, everyone looked at each other for a moment, and Gao Zhang also said with some hesitation: "This is impossible, how can the military department allow the butler to have the worship of the demon clan, and besides, in the army, there are no other high-ranking monks to find out?"

Lao Gao shook his head and said: "As for the method of concealing the aura of the demon clan, I don't know much, and it is not necessarily the worship of the demon clan, it may also be a demon cultivator who has been abolished and cultivated, he can use some special formations of the demon clan, and our monks may not be able to see through it at all." ”

Qin Wen opened his mouth at this time: "Is Lu Mo from the Hu people we brought a few days ago still in the inn? first ask him to come over and ask, if it really doesn't work, let him go to the City Lord's Mansion to observe again to see if there is really the aura of the demon race." ”

Guan Shuo's face became cold at this time, if Guan Fu really laid out the demon formation around his mansion, then the only explanation was that his whole family did not leave a single living mouth, and he did not let go of the offerings and slaves who had followed him for many years.

Lao Gao looked at Guan Shuo's face at this time, and also knew that the life of the whole family was at stake, and his heart was already in turmoil now, so he nodded and echoed Qin Wen's words: "I just feel it, it's better to call Lu Mo over first and ask according to what Qin Xian said." ”

Han Duan, who was standing outside the door, got up at this time and called Lu Mo out from the room next to him, after Lu Mo walked into the main hall, he looked at the people in the hall with some hesitation, he didn't know that Weishenme would call himself here so late, could it be that he was discussing how to deal with his own affairs?

Just as he was standing respectfully, constantly thinking about various possibilities in his mind, Lao Gao asked at this time, "Lu Mo, isn't it very common for your demon clan's skills to conceal their aura?"

Lu Mo didn't know that he would suddenly ask this, so he thought for a while and replied cautiously: "There are exercises to conceal the aura, but most of them can only be concealed from monks with similar cultivation, the most powerful skill I have ever seen can make the monks of the Demon Spirit Stage unable to see it, but that kind of skill is said to be a secret of the royal family, and ordinary demon cultivators can't practice it at all." ”

Lao Gao thought about it, the monks of the Demon Spirit Period were basically one level higher than the monks of the Xuanling Stage of the Cultivation Sect, but since it was their royal family that could practice, there would be no monks in their royal family who would flow to Daqi at all, which should be completely denied.

But then he suddenly thought of a question, so he asked, "Then how did you hide your breath in the cave? If it weren't for the appearance of the demon's mouth, why wouldn't I be able to see through your demon's breath?"

Lu Mo could only tell the truth: "What I practice is a special exercise, and I am the only one in the sect who has broken through the fifth layer, every time this exercise breaks through the first layer, the cultivation will be lowered back to the level of the demon disciple, although I am not as good as the monk of the Xuan disciple level, but when I once broke through the fifth layer, it is basically equivalent to the realm of your Xuan Master stage." ”

Although Lao Gao had never heard of this kind of feat, Lu Mo's explanation was quite reasonable, so he continued to ask, "Then can you sense the breath of your demon formation now?"

Lu Mo nodded and said, "My current demon consciousness is only one step away from the Demon Spirit Realm, generally speaking, as long as it is not a secret formation set up by the royal family, I can sense it." ”

Lao Gao bowed his head slightly, and then glanced at Guan Shuo, Guan Shuo forcibly suppressed some disordered emotions, and said to Lao Gao: "Then bother Gao Lao to take him to another trip, and after investigating the situation clearly, we will make a decision." ”

Gao Zhang looked at the sky outside at this time, which was about to reach the third watch, and said: "There should be no one on the street now, and the goal of a carriage is not small, if the two of them come back and forth, maybe the sky will be bright, why don't we go together, I and the city lord are waiting in the courtyard of the official school." ”

Guan Shuo pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "No one will pay attention to the courtyard of the official school now, and it is also a good place to hide." ”

After a few people finished discussing, they got up and walked out of the main hall, and after a few people flew out of the inn, they were led by Gao Zhang in front of the official school, because there was no curfew in Luming City during this time, and there were not many city guards patrolling the city, so a few people flew into the official school very easily.

Luming City is in the border fortress, most of the teenagers here have made military achievements, and there are not many students in the official school, most of the time is spent to deal with things, there are not many people here during the day, and the night seems even more silent.

Gao Zhang casually pushed open a door, and saw that the tables, chairs and benches inside were complete, so he let Guan Shuo walk into the room, Lao Gao didn't enter the room, and whispered outside the door: "Guan City Lord, let's go check first, and we'll come back here in a while." After speaking, he left in a hurry with Lu Mo.

Leaving only Guan Shuo, the Great Elder and Gao Zhang and Qin Wen in the empty room, none of them spoke, Guan Shuo and Gao Zhang frowned and waited for news from Lao Gao.

Qin Wen also knew that the two of them were worried about the situation in the house, and at this time they didn't know what would happen, and it was inconvenient to say comfort, so they had to temporarily use their vitality to clean the dust on a few benches and let a few people sit down and rest.

After about an hour, seeing that the sky was about to gradually brighten, Gao Zhang couldn't help but be a little impatient, got up and looked out, "Why don't you come back now, nothing will happen, right?"

As soon as his words fell, he saw Lao Gao flying into the courtyard with a worried face, and Lu Mo, who followed behind him, looked down at the things in his hand, and as soon as he entered the room, Lao Gao said to Guan Shuo: "This Guan Fu does have a formation, but now that the sky is almost dawning, let's go back to the inn to discuss." ”

Seeing that Lao Gao's face was a little wrong, Guan Shuo also sighed in his heart, and looked at the sky to see that it was indeed about to dawn, and if he stayed any longer, he would inevitably be discovered, and several people quietly returned to Liu Ji's old store.
