Luo Kui bowed his head slightly, and shouted: "Everyone has arrived?" ”

"It's all there. The two of them didn't say a word of nonsense, lowered their heads and opened the courtyard door, and respectfully invited Luo Kui in.

This house is not big, there are not many houses, and the courtyard is not as spacious as the water house, the grass at the base of the wall is green, and the moss on the green bricks is damp, and it does not look like a place where people come and go on weekdays.

Kong Qing looked around, and saw dozens of people standing neatly in the courtyard, all dressed in black, so solemn and quiet that they could hardly even hear the sound of breathing, but the killing aura was extremely thick, making people shudder.

Su Zi squinted his peach blossom eyes slightly, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, these dozens of people in front of him were crawled out of the pile of dead people during the First World War of the Eastern Fujian Kingdom three years ago, licking blood on the tip of the knife, cultivation does not have to worry, and loyalty does not have to be doubted, so he calmed down, raised his hand slightly, and red light jumped out of his sleeve, shrouding the entire courtyard.

Then he flipped his hands again, and a huge map of the mountains fell in the void, which was not a picture scroll drawn by the painter, but a real scene of the undulating mountains, even every stream in the winding mountains, every deep pool of clear water, every piece of bluestone covered with moss, and every old tree with green branches were particularly clear.

Kong Qing was secretly surprised, dozens of people were standing in the courtyard, no one was laughing, no one whispered, and no one looked at himself as a stranger, it can be seen that Luo Kui is very strict on weekdays, and then look at Luo Kui, where is there still a little bit of kindness and indifference on weekdays, at this time her cold eyes are cold, her lips are slightly pursed, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows are frost, and she is in charge of the proud killing intent, Kong Qing secretly said, I am afraid that Luo Kui has another background, not only the two heads of the Shui Su family, nor just the simple origin of the bloodthirsty Dao.

Luo Kui glanced at the map with his eyes, and said calmly: "Chuan Qiang." ”

A man with a hanging eyebrow and triangular eyes stepped out of the crowd.

The mountain scenery seemed to be deeply engraved in Luo Kui's heart, there was no need to concentrate on it, let alone look for anything on the map, raised her hand and dotted it among several mountains, and the scene there suddenly magnified, she printed several scarlet marks on it in turn, and commanded in a deep voice: "From now on, the ban on not crossing the mountain range is fully opened, and you will lead twelve shadow guards to guard the six formations in the mountain, and you will not leave without my warrant." After that, she flipped it with her bare hands, and a blue token appeared in the void, the whole token was surrounded by coldness, and it was vaguely visible that there was a strange beast carved on the token, she tapped it from afar, and the token flashed a few times, and it fell into the hands of Chuan Qiang.

Chuan Qiang rubbed his hands, and the token disappeared into his palm, and he bowed down and said, "Oh, my subordinates obey orders." Twelve shadow guards who were proficient in the art of formation were then pointed out and stood to the side.

Luo Kui followed closely and circled four locations, pointing out a man named Sichuan Jun, with a tall nose and deep eyes, his eyes were slightly cold, and his killing intent was awe-inspiring: "From now on, you will lead sixteen shadow guards to guard the four mountain gates that do not cross the mountain range, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without my warrant. ”

Immediately, another token jumped into the hands of the Sichuan army, and he also concocted the token to put away the token, bowed down and said yes, and pointed out sixteen shadow guards who were advanced in cultivation and decisive in killing.

Luo Kui bowed slightly, and his voice became deeper and calmer: "Chuanqiang and Sichuan Army, you two and the shadow guards should retreat first." ”

Everyone bowed down and retreated, and as soon as these dozens of people left, the courtyard was half empty.

Kong Qing was a little confused, Wen Yuan was now trapped in the Lin Palace, and he had nothing to do with the Buyue Mountain Range, why Luo Kui would place so many shadow guards here. But he was quite knowledgeable, and knew that this matter involved the secrecy of others, and he did not allow himself to ask more, so he just stood aside and watched quietly, secretly suspicious.

When he raised his eyes again, he saw Su Zi's right hand slightly raised, and the map of the mountains suddenly disappeared, replaced by a map of the city, which was still the real scene of the city. Every street and alley in the city in the picture, every building, even the palace city is among them, but the palace city is covered with a layer of pale white mist, and only a corner of the tower is faintly exposed.

Luo Kui raised his hand and lit up the red mangs at several night guard posts, and his eyebrows and eyes were calm: "Ma Xin, on the day of the winter solstice, you lead eight shadow guards to take down the night guards on duty in these four night guard posts, don't hurt their lives, just replace them with shadow guards, and you will disperse and withdraw to this place at three o'clock." ”

With a sly look in his eyes, Ma Xin took the token and named out eight shadow guards who were alert and steady, and good at adapting.

"Wei Mao. Luo Kui ordered the man in the young couple to come out, and said: "You lead twenty shadow guards, pretend to be a rogue and rebel, at three o'clock on the day of the winter solstice, raid the west gate of King Lin's mansion, and lead the guards of the west gate to the front of the view, you can disperse back to the west gate of King Lin's mansion to ambush, and General Su and others to respond, and after General Su and others evacuate King Lin's mansion, you can disperse and return to this place." ”

Only then did Kong Qing know that Luo Kui was an idea to divert the tiger from the mountain, so not crossing the mountain was the way to retreat after saving people.

The seemingly honest man named Wei Mao took the token and named twenty shadow guards who were just like him, not good-looking, honest and simple.

At this time, there were only nine shadow guards left in the middle of the courtyard, and the woman in the young couple was also among them.

Luo Kui said: "Ma Lian." ”

Ma Liansheng's cheeks were like knives, his eyebrows were curved, his eyes were deep-set, and he owed a smart water snake waist.

Luo Kui bowed slightly: "At three o'clock on that winter day, you led eight shadow guards to ambush with General Su at the west gate of King Lin's Mansion, and after Wei Mao and others led away the guards, they immediately entered King Lin's Mansion, and all actions were under General Su's orders." She paused slightly, raised her eyes to look at Qing Gongzi, and said gently: "Everything is under the orders of General Su and Qing Gongzi." ”

Kong Qing hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Don't dare, everything is under the orders of the county lord." ”

The cold killing intent condensed in the courtyard, circled, and scattered, and even the cold moonlight was dyed with blood, Luo Kui slowly got up, with murderous intent in his eyes, and his words were wrapped in blood: "I hope that all the soldiers will return safely without blood." ”

Everyone bowed down and said yes, and they all retreated, but as for where they retreated, Kongqing didn't know anything. He only felt as if he had seen the former Luo Kui, the decisive means of killing were ruthless, and he was instantly relieved, even if she was powerless now, but with this mind and meticulousness, it was enough to protect herself in the troubled times.

After the matter was over, the four of them quietly returned to the water house, and the cloves had already made soothing tea and waited quietly in the house.

Luo Kui held the white porcelain painted lotus petal cup, slowly sipped the tea, and a thin and faint smile bloomed between the cold eyebrows and eyes, as if the killing intent of Fang Cai was all an illusion, and smiled at Kongqing as usual: "On the day of the winter solstice, there will be a lantern temple fair in Qingzhou City all night, and the people in the city will enjoy the lanterns and snacks on the street. And at the royal family banquet in the evening, King Lin will definitely go to the banquet, and Qu Tianxiong will naturally follow left and right, on the banquet, I will try to drag King Lin and Qu Tianxiong, without Qu Tianxiong presiding over the enchantment, I think it will be much easier for you to act, so I made the decision to arrange this matter, and did not discuss it with you, I hope you are not strange. ”

"It's okay, this time it's borrowed from you, and it's naturally all up to you. Kong Qing had been suspicious for a long time, and finally asked: "It's just that I don't understand, why the entry and exit are all at the west gate of King Lin's mansion, and what is the place to go without crossing the mountains." ”

Luo Kui raised his eyes and smiled neatly: "After the west gate of the palace comes out, and after running out of the city through the west gate, it is not to cross the mountain range, and the cold pool in the mountain range is where the mountain gate of Qilin Temple is located. ”

"Qilin view. Kong Qing heard these three words, suddenly his heart jumped up, he knew that this view is extremely mysterious, neither Zhengyang Dao nor bloodthirsty Dao, not even Buddhist cultivation, is a real Taoist temple, the disciples are all monks, and never set foot in the world, and the master is mysterious and abnormal, never show his true face, he was in the clan faintly felt that this view is not simple, I don't want Luo Kui to have an inextricable relationship with this view, and he didn't expect this view to obey her, he felt more and more unfathomable, not just born on the face of the bloodthirsty Tao so simple, so he covered up his suspicions, slightly bowed: "I've heard of it. ”

Luo Kui was slightly stunned, his cold eyes shrunk, and in an instant, he smiled as usual: "Young Master Qing is worthy of being born in a family, and even such a cold little sect has heard of it." ”

Seeing that Luo Kui didn't want to say anything, Kong Qing no longer dwelled on these details, but only set his mind and secretly investigated.

Su Zi intercepted the conversation and said lightly: "On the day of the winter solstice, the city gate will be closed at three o'clock, later than usual, it is not difficult to get out of the city, but there is no absolute, if there is a delay at that time, you have to use your waist card to go out of the city, and you can't use your waist card." ”

Luo Kui took out a waist card from his waist, and wrote the words "Huagai Palace": "You put away this waist card, this is the waist card in Xu Guifei's palace, if the things on the day of the winter solstice are too difficult, and you miss the time to go out of the city, you will use this waist card to go out of the city, and I." She pondered silently: "Du Heng and I won't go to Qilinguan, and we will leave the aftermath when we see sorrow." ”

Su Zi stroked his palms and chuckled: "Okay, this trick moves eastward, and it's time for them to taste the bitterness." ”

Luo Kui's sleeves flicked, and three palm-sized light blue tokens suddenly appeared on the table, all engraved with a strange beast appearance, she picked up one and handed it to Kong Qing: "This thing is my warrant, only with this warrant, you can enter and exit the mountains at will, you must take it, never lose it." ”

The token is clearly engraved with a water unicorn, the moment Kong Qing took the token, he noticed that it was faintly sealed with a trace of the beast's water power, he gave a deep salute, and sincerely thanked: "This time the two elites have been exhausted, Kong Qing is grateful, if he has a place to get the Canglong family in the future, Kong Qing has nothing to say." ”
