After the old ancestor of Yuqing Academy led Shangguan Hui and the others into the main hall of his courtyard, the monk in the guest room on the second floor gently folded the image he had drawn, and then said to a monk next to him: "The person who can be personally received by the ancestor of Yuqing Academy should be the monk of the Shangguan family mentioned by the ancestor of the master, you can send these two images back to the sect now, and I will inquire about the details here." ”

After the monk took the drawings, he nodded and agreed, and then hurriedly left the small building where he was located, and walked directly out of the mountain gate of Yuqing Temple.

When Qin Wen received the image painted in the Yuqing Courtyard, in the afternoon of the same day, Gao Meng also rushed back to Tianmu Mountain, and after seeing Qin Wen, Gao Meng took out the portrait painted by Ening, Qin Wen and Xu Xiang compared the portrait together, and found that the two people painted on it were the same people.

Qin Wen asked the time drawn by the two of them again, judging from the time between them, the two monks of the Shangguan family rushed from Qinglong Gorge to Yuqing Courtyard by spirit boat, and they should not have gone to other places in the middle, and the monks of the Erning and Tianmu Sword Sect did not know the cultivation of these two monks, the main reason was that the realm of these two monks was too high, and they had reached the limit of what they could explore.

If you look at it according to normal thinking, these two monks should be at least saint-level cultivation, after all, when Shangguan Peng burst out with the strongest attack power, he was already far beyond the saint-level cultivation, and even the ancient soul was not his opponent, and these two monks were very likely to have reached the immortal-level cultivation.

Now the monks of the Shangguan family are in the Yuqing Courtyard, and their next target, Qin Wen, knows without thinking about it, it must be the city of expulsion where Shangguan Peng died, and the monks of the Shangguan family don't know that they have gotten their news, and now it depends on Lu Mo before they reach the city of expulsion. Can the Qin family's influence in the Expulsion City be erased as much as possible?

And when he was about to leave, thinking of this, Qin Wen said to Xu Xiang next to him: "Now that we have locked the people, I estimate that their next destination should be the City of Expulsion, according to our plan, I am going to Qinglong Gorge to pick up En Ning first." Then let's go to the capital together. ”

Xu Xiang and Qin Wen had already discussed some general plans to go to the capital, so they nodded and agreed, and then Xu Xiang asked the monks guarding outside to tell the master of the Tianmu Sword Sect, saying that they were going out to travel, and then they flew towards Qinglong Gorge in a spirit boat.

After taking over Ening, Qin Wen took Joseph, Xu Xiang, Gao Meng and Ening and flew towards the capital together, and they didn't stop much along the way, but came directly to the capital, and after arriving in the capital. They took back the spirit boat and found a carriage to come to the original Duanwang Mansion, only to find Ao Yu wandering in front of the Duanwang Mansion.

Because he had lived in the capital for a while, Qin Wen didn't want too many people to know that he had returned, so he opened the curtain of the carriage and let Ao Yu enter the carriage, and as soon as Ao Yu got into the carriage, he said to Qin Wen: "Now there is no one in Duanwang's Mansion, and Xiang Hao has moved to the palace." After Han Duan came to the capital, he was appointed to refine the elixir outside the palace. It may be under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but I don't know exactly what the official position is. ”

"Lu Mo has also come to the capital, and now everyone lives in a mansion outside the palace wall, originally Lu Mo wanted other monks to come here to wait, but I don't have anything to do during this time, so I just wait here for a few days. This is only the third day, and you will be back. ”

Qin Wen heard that Han Duan was in charge of refining pills outside the palace, which was a good position, not only not attracting the attention of others, but also finding out more news in the capital. He nodded and said, "Have you seen Xiang Hao? By the way, how big is the courtyard in our house now, can we accommodate all the people?"

Ao Yu nodded and said: "When Han Duan came, Xiang Hao came once at night, but he left in a hurry, saying that if we want to have something, we can go to the palace to find him, this time the courtyard is not small, and there are also some small courtyards in the backyard, in addition to giving you and the ancient soul, and Xu Xiang left one each, the courtyard next to it can accommodate all the monks." ”

"And in the past two days, Lu Mo has gone to the neighborhood to see the courtyards of the two houses, if it is suitable, he is going to wait until you come, and then buy these courtyards, so that the alchemy group, the refining group, and the caravan can live in normal times. ”

Qin Wen knew that although the courtyard in the capital was not cheap, for his current self, the spirit stones spent were not even a dime, so he waved his hand and said: "When I arrived in the mansion, I said to Lu Mo, just buy what kind of yard you need, although we don't estimate how long we will live here, but the housekeeper can't be too much, and it will be suspected by others." ”

After everyone returned to the mansion on the edge of the imperial city, Qin Wen saw that the courtyard was indeed not small as Ao Yu said, so he nodded slightly, and walked all the way to the main hall, calling Han Duan and Lu Mo, since Ao Yu had been waiting for them in front of Duanwang's Mansion for the past few days, some things did not know too much, Qin Wen was ready to ask Han Duan and Lu Mo to see what the specific situation was now.

After the two of them had given themselves a salute, Qin Wen spoke: "How is the situation in the capital now? You have been here for so long, has anyone noticed us?"

Han Duan shook his head and said, " No, after I came to the capital, I first found Lao Gao, he is now the head of the palace guards, I didn't say that the master was coming, I got some information about the capital from him, because the current emperor has no children under his knees, Xiang Hao was made the crown prince four years ago, and the princes who fought for the throne with Xiang Hao were all assigned to the outside, and there were not many officials who knew us, so here we except for some officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who came to get the pill, basically no one came here. ”

Qin Wen nodded slightly, but this was because he thought of what Xu Xiang said to him about going to the Beiyuan Palace, so he said: "In the future, if Xiang Hao or Lao Gao ask about me, you will say that I am in retreat in the mansion, and when I leave the customs, I will go to see them, and as for other people, don't reveal my whereabouts." ”

Han Duan nodded and agreed, Qin Wen then turned around and asked Lu Modao: "How is the situation over there in the Expulsion City?" En Ning and Xu Xiang have already figured out the whereabouts of the Shangguan family monks, and now they are in the Yuqing Courtyard, it is estimated that it will not be long before they will go to the Expulsion City, and they can't be allowed to get clues that we are coming to the capital there." ”

Lu Mo said with a stern expression: "Don't worry, Master Qin, I have already arranged everything over there in the Expulsion City, originally those monks in the North City didn't understand your departure too much, they thought that even if it was a monk from the Immortal Realm, as long as they were protected, it would definitely be much stronger than Master Dan hiding outside." ”

"At that time, I explained to them that this time it was not a war between Dao Xiu and Demon Cultivator, but Danshi's own personal grudge, Danshi didn't want to involve the entire expulsion city, especially the demon cultivators in the North City, as long as he could avoid the edge, after a while, the monks of the Shangguan family could not find Danshi, and naturally things would pass. ”

Hearing this, Qin Wen couldn't help but nod slightly, he already had an understanding of the matter of avoiding the enemy, the Autumn Protector of the Exorcism Gorge was an example, if Qin Wen had found someone to kill the three monks of the Exorcism Gorge at that time, maybe the Exorcism Gorge would have sent more monks to find Qin Wen, and Qin Wen would never have had such a chance to have such a big foundation in the Expulsion City and the West in such a search and attack.

Now this method is still used to evade the pursuit of the Shangguan family, as long as Qin Wen is given enough time, Qin Wen can follow his cultivation to the holy level, and even after finding the channel to ascend, he can also ascend to the immortal realm, as long as he is cautious enough, he will one day surpass the Shangguan family in strength, and it will be much easier to face these grievances at that time.

Seeing Qin Wen nodding, Lu Mo continued: "After listening to my explanation, the deacons in Beicheng were particularly moved by Danshi's consideration for them, and repeatedly said that no matter what time it is, the Heavenly Demon Garden is the palace of Danshi as the heir of the Divine Descent, and their entire Beicheng will always serve Danshi as the master. ”

"However, I didn't tell them the whereabouts of the Danshi, but according to our plan at the time, as long as they got the situation, they would tell it in secret words in the Rose Thorn, I left a total of five monks in the Expulsion City, led by Chang Yue, and every few days I changed a monk to the Rose Thorn, and the news I got was sent by Chang Yue to the courtyard of the caravan, and then let the caravan bring it back here. ”

Hearing that Chang Yue was in charge of this matter, Qin Wen suddenly remembered that there were still the original Zhou family and spar mineral deposits outside the city, so he opened his mouth and asked Lu Modao: "How are the mineral deposits in the mountains and forests handled now? There is also the manor of the original Zhou family, these are all known to the three deacons in Dongcheng, if they are found out, maybe the Shangguan family will be angry with them." ”

Lu Mo nodded and said: "I have already thought of this, I deliberately traded the Zhou family's manor to a family in Dongcheng, and traded the spar deposits to the Han family in Beicheng, and the two agreements were signed together, so now the two places have nothing to do with us, even if the Shangguan family inquires about the situation, they can shirk and say that they don't know." ”

Lu Mo explained at this time: "The Zhou family's manor is really traded, but the spar mine in the Han family is a disguise, originally I wanted to leave it to all the demon cultivators in Beicheng, but the deacons in Beicheng were unwilling, and the result of the final discussion was that all the quarryed spars were placed in the thorn of the rose, and the Dan master could send someone to get it at any time if he wanted to."
