A carriage galloped across the official road, and sitting outside the canopy and holding a long whip was Lao Gao, who was wearing a hat, and in the car sat Xiang Hao, Qin Wen and Ao Yu.

After the four of them followed Guan Shuo's city guards to the Muzha Pass, they found that Kulie's tribe had withdrawn, and there were only two small tribes left, adding up to only 3,000 people, and they were defeated under the impact of Guan Shuo and retreated towards Gucheng Mountain.

Guan Shuo did not chase, but arranged for the soldiers to be stationed in the Muzha Pass, just when the Hu people were defeated, Qin Wen and the four people changed into the clothes of the Hu people, and then followed the defeated soldiers until they ran to the vicinity of Qingshitan, and then rode to Dingwu Pass.

From Dingwu Pass to the south to the official road to the capital, it took nearly half a month to go around this circle, but they should have easily got rid of Xiang Kuang's spies, and then they went to the market and exchanged horses for a carriage, and walked on the official road back to the capital under the driving of Lao Gao.

Just in case, every time they walked into the big city, they would change to Ao Yu or Qin Wen to drive, and they didn't stop in the city at all, and the items they needed were bought in some small market towns, which also reduced the chance of meeting with Xiang Kuang's secret agent.

In this way, I have been walking fast for about half a month, and I came to Jingshan Pass, and then it is the boundary of Broken Stone Mountain, although along the way, there is no harassment from Xiang Kuang's secret agents, but I am not sure that it must not have been discovered by Xiang Kuang's people.

Seeing the pass of Jingshan Pass from a distance, Lao Gao and Ao Yu changed cars, and then returned to the canopy, Xiang Hao asked at this time: "Lao Gao, is there anything suspicious outside?"

Lao Gao shook his head and said: "Not yet, according to the route we took when we came, after we passed the Jingshan Pass today, we will arrive at a small town called Dujiao Town at midnight, if we enter the Broken Stone Mountain at night, the chance of exposure will be greater, we might as well wait in the Dujiao Town for a night, and then enter the official road of the Broken Stone Mountain in the morning." ”

"If you are in a hurry, you should walk on this terrain for about four days, this is the most dangerous four days, as long as you can safely pass through the Broken Stone Mountain, there are two more big cities below, you will arrive at the capital, and those two cities are prosperous and rich places, the terrain is relatively gentle, and there is no place to hide the ambush. ”

The carriage smoothly entered Jingshan Pass, and Lao Gao covered all sides of the canopy at this time, and then closed his eyes and felt the aura outside the carriage with his divine sense.

Jingshan Pass is also a big city within a radius of thousands of miles, and the merchants coming and going in it are bustling, and the speed of the carriage is relatively slow, at this time, Lao Gao's expression suddenly changed, and he said to Ao Yu outside: "Turn around from the alley next to you, there are suspicious aura fluctuations in front." ”

Ao Yu pulled the reins in front, and with a wave of the long whip in his hand, the carriage turned into the alley next to it, and at the same time, a divine sense swept from the second-floor restaurant on the street to the carriage, but it was all swept by, and Lao Gao's face was slightly wrinkled.

At this time, a pale-faced middle-aged man in the restaurant slightly moved the delicate array plate in front of him, and said to a black-clothed man standing next to him: "There are four people in the carriage, two monks from the Xuanshi realm, it is estimated that the target of the prince has appeared, after leaving the city, you go to confirm it, if it is indeed undoubted, don't alarm them, and arrange the ambush in Broken Stone Mountain according to the instructions of the prince." ”

The man in black bowed down and agreed, and then hurriedly walked down the restaurant, at this time, the pale-faced middle-aged man continued to observe the aura fluctuations on the array in front of him, and a young boy standing behind him spoke at this time: "Sir, will Weishenme Gongzi be sure that they must go here?"

The middle-aged man said lightly: "This is the only place for the official road to enter Beijing, Gongzi has asked Guan Fu to arrange secret agents on other roads in the radius of Luming City, once the target enters, they will immediately feedback back the information, and there are more places to set up ambushes on other roads." However, there was no spy on this road, just in case they were startled, and then when they were careless, they were already in the urn. ”

"When we arrive at this Jingshan Pass, our role is just to confirm and prepare for the ambush of Broken Stone Mountain, even if he knows it now, why not, will he still retreat?"

Xiao Tong's face was slightly stunned at this time and said: "Sir, Master Xuan's upper rank should be very powerful, can the ambush circle set by Gongzi trap them?"

The middle-aged man said with a slight smile on his face: "Even if there is a Xuanling-level monk inside, don't think about escaping in this ambush circle, unless they can have hundreds or even thousands of monks rushing together, it is possible to break out of the encirclement of this team of Xuanxuan crossbow heavy armor." ”

Xiao Tong smiled and said: "Then this time it will not be in vain for Mr.'s planning, and when this matter is over, Xiang Gongzi will give Mr. the 10,000-year-old elixir, and Mr. will be able to take charge of the sect justifiably." ”

The middle-aged man coughed a few times, and a hint of flushing appeared on his face and said: "If it weren't for the unstable foundation of the sect that I had just taken charge of, and repaired the old wounds for the sake of elixir alchemy, I would have helped Xiang Kuang that idiot, King Hui is also a character, his son, hehe." There was a hint of disdain in his words.

Bypassing the street in front of the restaurant, Lao Gao's face became much more solemn, and he said to Xiang Hao: "Young master, I always feel that the bundle of divine consciousness just now has the idea of deliberately dodging, and we should have been exposed." ”

Xiang Hao's face was slightly confused at this time, but he calmed down and said, "Then what should we do now?"

Lao Gao frowned and said, "A team of Xuanxuan crossbow heavy armor, even if the four of us are all monks in the Xuan Master stage, it will be difficult to escape from the ambush circle. ”

Lao Gao paused, and said with a resolute expression on his face: "Since his whereabouts have been exposed, it will be too late to go back, I have a way, but." ”

Speaking of this, Lao Gao got up solemnly, his head was already on the canopy above, and then he bowed deeply to Qin Wen and said, "In the future, I hope that Qin will worship and take care of my young master." ”

Qin Wen was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly got up and picked up Lao Gao and said, "Lao Gao, why are you doing this?"

Lao Gao set up a soundproof barrier in the carriage and said: "After we arrive in Unicorn Town, rest for the night, after dawn, I will set up a formation plate in the carriage, and then go first, you and Ao Yu will take the young master to disguise themselves and then set off after half the time of the pillar of incense, and you can follow the carriage for a distance of about five miles." ”

As soon as he said this, Qin Wen suddenly understood, it turned out that Lao Gao's idea was that he would first draw out the ambushed Xuancrossbow Heavy Armor, and then sacrifice himself to protect himself and Xiang Hao.

Qin Wen hurriedly waved his hand at this time and said, "Old Gao, let's think of other ways, you are really doing this," he said this, and he didn't know how to continue.

Lao Gao shook his head slightly and said, "I've thought all the way, as long as we are found here, there is no other way to pass through Broken Stone Mountain except this method." ”

Speaking of this, he untied his storage bag and handed it to Xiang Hao and said: "Young master, the old slave will no longer be able to serve you in the future, and when you encounter trouble in the future, you should consider it more, and you should also listen to Qin's opinions, this is the old slave's storage bag, the young master will put it away first, and I hope that the young master can successfully pass the selection of the emperor's dragon trick this time, and when the young master comes to the world in the future, the old slave can also smile at Jiuquan." ”

Xiang Hao pushed away the storage bag handed by Lao Gao at this time, and said with a resolute look in his eyes: "Let's go back to Luming City now, I don't believe that Xiang Kuang can wait for a lifetime." ”

Lao Gao directly stuffed the storage bag into Xiang Hao's arms at this time and said: "Young master, the old slave is already a Xuanshi ascending level, and there is no chance to break through to the Xuanling period in this life, and it is not interesting to live for a few more years, if the life of the old slave can be exchanged for the young master's safe return to the capital, it can be regarded as a well-deserved death." ”

"Young master, now there is not much time left for the selection of the dragon formula, you still have to build a purple pulp essence array plate to use during the selection, and then you have to be familiar with the formation, we must return to the capital as soon as possible this time." ”

Lao Gao paused again at this time and said: "At this time, Luming City is already within the control of Guan Fu, without the young master, you return to the capital to operate, Guan Shuo will not be able to sit in the position of the city lord again, and then let Xiang Kuang find out our traces, it is estimated that there will be no more opportunities to fight." ”

Xiang Hao and Qin Wen were silent at this time, they also knew that what Lao Gao said was reasonable, but sacrificing Lao Gao's life in exchange for the opportunity to return to the capital made Xiang Hao a little unacceptable, and the carriage suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Ao Yu's voice suddenly came from outside: "I didn't check when I entered the city, why did I check it when I left the city?"

The three Qin Wen people in the carriage hurriedly became vigilant, and they heard the hoarse voice of a man outside: "This monk, we are also routine, the city lord's mansion has a concubine, all the people who enter the city do not need to check, but the vehicles and pedestrians who go out of the city must be checked." ”

Lao Gao said with a solemn face at this time: "Ao Yu, let them check." ”

At this time, Qin Wen saw that as soon as the curtain of the canopy was lifted, a man dressed in the clothes of the city guards looked at the three people in the carriage, and then put down the curtain and said, "Okay, monk, you can go." ”

When he walked out of the range of the city gate, Lao Gao sighed and said, "Now it seems that we have been exposed, there is no doubt that there is an obvious hole in the sergeant's words just now, and his main purpose is to check on the three of us." ”

Qin Wen thought about it, but there was still a fog in his mind, so he asked suspiciously, "Old Gao, what loopholes does that sergeant have?"
