The elder's command, when he heard these words, Liu Yuan knew that the key place was coming.

Judging from the news that Zheng Dongxi transmitted from the Qingchuan Inn, that person's strength was very high, at least in the Demon Gate back then, he had to be an elder-level figure.

Staying now, it is the top existence of the Demon Gate, since even such people are dispatched, and it is to find the whereabouts of Dantang.

Then the next words of the black-robed man are very likely to be related to Dantang, although the other party vetoed the matter that he didn't know about their saintess from the beginning.

Both of them were concentrating, only to hear Cao Xiangtong continue to speak: "It was probably more than a month ago, the elder asked me to stay here, no matter what happened, I must not leave, and wait for them to come back. ”

Obviously, Cao Xiangtong was able to survive the catastrophe, and he was not a stupid person waiting for death, and when Liu Yuan and the two appeared, he had long forgotten the elder's instructions and ran away.

"What else?" Liu Yuan followed up and asked, if it was just such a simple message, it wouldn't make much difference.

It's just that in terms of time, Liu Yuan speculated in his heart for the rest of the month, which was about the same time as the time when the Demon Gate set off to find Dantang.

If two things are one thing, then at first Liu Yuan thought that the other party found Dan Tang and wanted to add a master to the Demon Gate, but now it seems that it is not so simple.

"No, no, no. Cao Xiangtong shook his head slowly as he spoke, revealing a look in his eyes that he had really said everything.

After hearing this, Liu Yuan and Pei Jiao glanced at each other, although he still had some doubts in his heart, but he shouldn't be able to ask anything for the time being.

With the style of the Demon Gate, he was afraid that the black-robed man would be in a hurry, and the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, and the elder should not have told any secrets before leaving.

From Pei Jiao's eyes, Liu Yuan saw a similar meaning to himself, and now he already believed in Pei Jiao's judgment very much.

After all, they have experienced so many things together, and the other party has proved their strengths in some aspects that no one can surpass.

glanced at each other, and nodded slightly, this small action naturally did not escape Cao Xiangtong's eyes, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, knowing that his little life was saved.

At the same time, he is not worried that the other party will kill him directly, because the other party obviously did not get the answer he wanted.

Then he, the intermediary who can contact the Demon Gate, will still be of use to them.

"Now there's something for you to do. ”

Sure enough, when he came, Cao Xiangtong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he didn't care what the other party asked him to do, so he nodded and agreed: "Hero, you say it, do everything." ”

By the time Liu Yuan and Pei Jiao successfully exited the underground demon gate altar, the sky outside was already pitch black, and a day had passed.

The dark and deep sky is dotted with stars, twinkling and twinkling, from eternity to the future.

"You just believe that the black-robed man will be honest?" Liu Yuan asked as he looked at Pei Jiao.

Talking to the black-robed man about the conditions before, he used Pei Jiao's means.

"It's not that I believe in someone who is not faithful to my sect, but I just believe in my medicine. Pei Jiao smiled at the corner of his mouth, took out a small white bottle from his arms, and shook it slightly in front of Liu Yuan's eyes.

He added: "When he finds out that his reaction is exactly the same as what I said, he will obediently do everything." ”

"What kind of medicine is this?" Liu Yuan was obviously curious, although the strength of the black-robed man was still far worse than him, but he was also a master with deep internal strength, what delay poison could control such a person.

"Secret. Pei Jiao smiled mysteriously, pinched the small bottle, and put it into his arms.

Hearing this, Liu Yuan was stunned, and had to give up, although he didn't know what it was, he believed that Pei Jiao's medicine must be unusual.

Similar to this quirky gadget, the other party still has it, and it has achieved good results every time.

At the moment, he didn't ask any more questions, looked at the stars in the sky, found the way he came, quickened his pace, and before he had gone far, Liu Yuan raised his head and blew a melodious whistle.

With his physique, that whistle was enough time to blow a cup of tea, and it resounded clearly and loudly in the sky above the Gobi Desert.

Just when Pei Jiao was still surprised, what kind of madness Liu Yuan was doing, he only heard the sound of donkey hooves on the yellow sand, and a vigorous figure rushed under the moonlit night.

When he was about to get in front of Liu Yuan and the others, he also gave a beautiful tail flick, and his whole body was crooked, Liu Channeling squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Yuan with a smile, and rubbed Liu Yuan's clothes with the donkey's head.

Reaching out and gently stroking Liu Shufeng's neck, Liu Yuan turned his head to Pei Jiao and said, "Come, don't be stupid, it's time to go." ”

When he sat behind Liu Yuan on the back of the donkey again, Pei Jiao blinked, looked at the sky and the yellow sand, and couldn't help but sigh: "I sometimes even doubt that some people are not as smart as this donkey." ”

provoked Liu Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Haha, don't worry, you should still be smarter than him." ”

Pei Jiao, who was angry, gritted his teeth, hammered Liu Yuan on the back, and whispered: "I see that you are not as smart as you are in the wind." ”

Otherwise, I haven't discovered my mind yet, Pei Jiao added in his heart.

Obviously, I don't know what the two of them are talking about, but Liu Channeling is also laughing happily.

Under the moonlit night, on the endless yellow sand, a man and a woman, riding a donkey, galloped, and the dust raised was ethereal and blurry in the darkness.

When it was almost dawn, Liu Yuan and Pei Jiao finally left the Gobi and headed towards Hongguang City.

At this time, the corner gates on both sides of the city gate had been opened, and people entered through the small gates on both sides one after another.

And Liu Yuan and the others were no exception to the last in line, and they looked forward twice, but they didn't find any difference from when they left.

is still a strict interrogation, and every person who enters the city wants to come to the city The matter of the second son has not been resolved.

Thinking like this in his heart, Liu Yuan still had some doubts, but he was soon relieved, it must be Xia Lingling's plan to hand over her second brother at the most appropriate time, in order to maximize the benefits.

It's understandable, and it doesn't have much to do with himself, Liu Yuan no longer thinks about it.

However, the conversation of the previous few people attracted Liu Yuan's attention.

I only heard the third person in front of me whisper to my companion beside me: "I just left Hongguang City a few days ago, and at that time there was martial law in the city, saying that I was investigating the matter of the second son of the Xia family." ”

Not to mention, the gossip that this person got out of nowhere is quite accurate.

When the other man heard this, he was a little disdainful, and after snorting, he said, "How long ago did you do this, and now the situation in the city has long changed." ”

"Eh, what's changed, you and I have a good talk. The man probably went out to do business for a few days, and asked with great curiosity at this time.

The two are estimated to be familiar with each other, and the man didn't hide it, so he said again: "That's it, the eldest prince made a military order in the Xia family, and seeing that the time is coming, he still hasn't found anyone." ”

"No, is it possible that the eldest prince will not be able to hand over the person by then, and he really wants to receive this military order?" the man looked very surprised.

"Heh, do you think the military order is a joke with you?" he shook his head as he spoke, looking at the other party, feeling that the other party was a little ignorant.

"Hey, you said that's right, what a capable person the eldest prince is on weekdays, when it comes to this point, how can he use all his strength, but he can't find anyone. ”

He was still sighing, and the other one pulled his sleeve a little mysteriously nervously, and whispered close to his ear: "This is nothing, there is something even more strange, I also heard it by accident in a restaurant." ”

When he heard this, the man came to his senses, and his ears were almost erected.

"Little Lotus Mountain is going to restart the mountain gate!"

"Ahh

"Are you reliable?"

"Then who knows, anyway, I heard that there is an old monk"

The voices of several people talking fell into Liu Yuan's ears without exception, and he didn't care about the military order in front of him, but the matter of the little lotus mountain in the back made him frown.

The figure of the old monk wearing a hat that I saw that day, if there is no accident, the figure that flashed in front of the old ancestral court that night is undoubtedly the old monk.

Since the other party rescued the black-clothed man under the Pingding King's hand, most of the black-clothed people were also from Little Lotus Mountain.

The only thing that Liu Yuan didn't expect was that he had a relationship with Little Lotus Mountain.

In the catastrophe of that year, if you really want to talk about several major sects, the loss of Little Lotus Mountain is indeed the smallest, and it is much better than the many masters of Buddhism who died in battle.

At least the host with red lips and white teeth has not died, but there has been no news until now, but since the news of the reopening of the mountain gate has come out, it is not far from seeing the host.

I only hate that I was born too late, and I was born with a desperate pulse, when Liu Yuan was still young, in addition to the swordsman Ye Feicicada, he was the most curious about this young monk.

told Pei Jiao the news of Little Lotus Mountain, and the latter also fell into deep thought, and quickly said to Liu Yuan: "Do you think the sudden appearance of Little Lotus Mountain is related to the news that the Demon Gate appeared here?"

"Uh, no. Liu Yuan obviously didn't think of this, but he also knew some about the grievances and grievances between Little Lotus Mountain and the Demon Gate.

Just a few years ago, the two sides were at loggerheads.

However, for now, both sides are seriously damaged, and it should be Taoguang who is obscure, and it is no longer necessary to invest the little remaining strength into this useless dispute.

Saying his thoughts, Pei Jiao said: "Well, it makes sense, I'm just talking casually and providing an idea." ”

But whether it is or not, this point is all remembered by Liu Yuan.

With the movement of the flow of people, it was soon the turn of the two to enter the city, and nothing happened, and after entering the city smoothly, the two went to the inn where they had stayed before.

When he stepped into the door of the inn, the shopkeeper was just about to greet him, and when he looked up and saw that these two were back, he immediately walked out of the counter and said, "Oh, the two distinguished guests are returning from playing." ”

The main shopkeeper looked like both of them were a little dusty, so he asked this question.

"Ah, yes. Liu Yuan smiled and didn't explain.

When the two of them walked up the stairs, they saw that the shopkeeper suddenly seemed to remember something, and took two steps forward to stop Liu Yuan: "Distinguished guest, wait a moment." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" Standing at the top of the stairs and looking back, Liu Yuan asked curiously.

"Just as the two distinguished guests were leaving, someone came looking for them. The shopkeeper said directly, and then hurriedly ran to the counter.

"But the people of the Xia family?" Liu Yuan was not surprised.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "No, the man also left an address for me to give to you when you come back." As he spoke, the shopkeeper handed over the note in his hand.

It turned out to be not from the Xia family, who could it be, Liu Yuan was a little puzzled, after taking the note, the address on it was not clear to himself, and the shopkeeper asked two more questions, and after figuring out the specific location, he said: "Have you seen what that person looks like?"

Now that the city is strictly checked, it is impossible for that person to wear a mask or something.

"Look, the small one can't be said, hehe, after all, the words are poor, I can only say that he is a tall man, and his appearance is a little Sven. The shopkeeper recalled.

Indeed, just a few words, said and unsaid. Liu Yuan shook his head with a smile and said, "Okay, thank you, I'll just go and take a look." ”

People named him to see him alone, and since this was the case, Pei Jiao did not insist on continuing to follow.

After Liu Yuandu left for a while, the shopkeeper slapped his forehead and remembered something, and muttered: "That person seems to have chanted a poem, and asked me for a long time, where do I know what poetry." ”

In the depths of a spacious house, in the west position is a study, in front of the door planted a few bamboos, a little monotonous, faintly heard from the study of angry cheers.

The eldest prince slammed the thick stack of papers in his hand on the table, and looked at the person in front of him: "How long has the news been in the city?"

The man had been in the study, and he didn't dare to breathe because of the tense atmosphere, and at this time the eldest prince asked, and only after a sigh of relief did he say: "I don't know how long it has been spreading, in short, I found out that many people are talking about it today." ”

"Bastard, I don't know how long it takes, what do you want!" The eldest prince didn't look at the man, and only scolded in a low voice.

It's no wonder that the eldest prince was angry, he and his father met in private at the beginning, and only their father and son knew about the military order.

But now, now the city is full of storms, and everyone knows about the fact that he made a military order, and the clarity of the matter is spread by nose and eyes, and it will be passed into the ears of the clan elders without thinking about it.

After being angry, the eldest prince could only think of one possibility, stared at the closed window with his eyes, and said secretly in his heart: "Father, father, why are you persecuting so much. ”
