After Jinzhai, and then along the Wanshan to the northwest direction not far, there is a shopping mall, the mall to the north-northwest direction, all the way can directly cross the junction of several large counties, directly to Xincai.

In order to reduce the number of extraneous branches, and because of the sense of crisis caused by the Yuantu Sword turmoil, Lu Yuan and Yang Xin hurried all the way, and it took a day and a half to rush to Xincai, and then from Xincai to Runan, it took more than half a day. After all, Yang Xin was a daughter, and she had been traveling for four or five days in a row, but she was really tired, so Lu Yuan found a restaurant in Runan to rest for a while.

"Whew, it's finally time to take a break. You really don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, Lu Qigui!" Yang Xin complained to Lu Yuan.

"Yo, are the two guest officers eating or staying in the hotel?" Xiao Er saw someone entering the store and hurriedly stepped forward to talk.

"Two upper rooms, preferably with a bathroom. In addition, nine of your specialties will come to my room in half an hour. Lu Yuan took out the ingot of silver from his arms and handed it to Xiao Er, who immediately smiled and led the two upstairs.

When the two went upstairs, Yang Xin looked at Lu Yuan with a serious face, but he didn't know why in his heart.

"What's wrong, your face is so terrible?" Yang Xin couldn't help but ask.

"It's a little wrong, it is said that there have been so many small thieves in the Wanshan area almost crazy, but going to the hinterland of Henan, it is a little ...... It's too quiet?" Lu Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the surrounding area, after entering the boundary of Henan, the obstacles along the way seem to have disappeared suddenly. Of course, Lu Yuan also thought about it, maybe because in the Shaolin Temple's sphere of influence, all the sects sold face and didn't dare to be too public.

But the problem is that there shouldn't be fewer people in the rivers and lakes. It is rare to see people with swords and swords on the road, and even people like Lu Yuan and Yang Xin who seem to have come from other provinces. Could it be that the various sects reacted greatly, but the action was not fast?

"There's a problem. Looks like we're going to have to find someone to take a look. Lu Yuan thought in his heart, but he followed Xiao Er to the door of the room.

"Sister Yang Xin, you can freshen up first, and come to my room to eat in half an hour. Lu Yuan turned around and said, Yang Xin nodded obediently, and then the two went back to their rooms.

After entering the room, Lu Yuan looked around, there was a window on the side of the bed, and the window was facing the main street, which could ensure that there was enough sunlight to enter the house during the day. Lu Yuan pushed open the window and looked around, it was almost noon, and he could see that in several alleys connected to the main street, some beggars were nesting in the corners or nibbling on begging steamed noodles or the like, or carrying the hay collected from the city into their arms, using these hay to keep out the cold.

Lu Yuan shook his head, picked up a pen and paper from the table, drew a symbol, took a special small flying knife from his arms, nailed the paper to the edge of the window, and closed the window. Turning around and walking to the bathroom, I stripped off and soaked in the hot water that had just been poured.

Around noon, Xiao Er brought the meal, and Yang Xin also happened to come over after washing. This time, I don't know where Yang Xin got a set of outfits, pink mink fur collar and small shoulders, wearing a peach-colored caftan skirt underneath, and changing into a pair of red small wool boots, which looks very warm and playful and cute. Lu Yuan couldn't help but be a little stunned, fortunately, he had seen Su Xiao's beauty and refinement, Su Pingping's cuteness, Qingping's delicacy and Huang Xing's agility, Lu Yuan would not be like a hungry wolf.

"How is it? Brother Gui, am I good-looking?" Yang Xin was keen, and suddenly caught Lu Yuan's slightly flickering eyes.

"I said, Yang Xin, you are really fickle. When you are unhappy, you call Lu Qigui, and when you are happy, you return to your brother, and you can't stop shouting. Lu Yuan raised his head slightly and said with a smile.

"Hmph, isn't it okay? Like that, no matter how happy you are, you won't forget the etiquette of the hypocrite, I can't do it. Yang Xin said, and raised his eyebrows quite smugly.

Lu Yuan was a little crying and laughing, and his feelings were not rude, but in Yang Xin's opinion, he had become a hypocrite. However, Lu Yuan knew in his heart that Yang Xin said this on the surface, but she was by no means stunned, on the contrary, when she needed a hypocrite, she would be more inconsistent than anyone else. All words have a premise, and it depends on the occasion and the need. In this regard, Yang Xin is a step above Yang Juehao.

After lunch, the two went to the street for a walk, it was the middle of October, the weather was already cold, there were not many pedestrians on the street, the two felt bored to go shopping, so they went back to the restaurant to rest. When he arrived, there were three knocks on the window from Lu Yuan's window.

Knowing that the contact in the morning was seen by the other party, Lu Yuan put on a newly made mask, said the code to the other party, and then gently opened the window. The other jumped into the house through the window. Looking at his figure and skills, Lu Yuan recognized that it should be Jiang Houlang.

"Hou Lang?" Lu Yuan asked tentatively, Jiang Hou Lang smiled, and after saying yes, the two took off their masks together.

"Say, is there anything I need to do?" Jiang Houlang was not polite when he entered the house, and after he sat down, he took the pot and turned the cup, and poured himself a glass of water.

"How big is the area you are responsible for, and how big can the Henan boundary cover?" Lu Yuan didn't say anything first, but asked.

"You asked this right, I don't dare to say it, now the boundaries of Henan, Xinyang Prefecture, Zhoujiakou, Runanfu, Shangqiu, Kaifeng, and Luoyang all have our eyeliner, and now they are also under my control. Zhengzhou, Hanoi, Anyang, Puyang, and Nanyang are slightly weaker, but some news can still be heard to some extent. Elsewhere it doesn't care too much. After all, we are really limited in manpower, and it is not easy to develop vigorously now. Jiang Houlang explained and put the water cup on the table.

"It's almost the same, the entire Henan is basically controlled by more than eighty percent. So very good, I want to ask you something, recently in the border of Henan, do you know that there are many foreign rivers and lakes forces? Why did I go all the way from the mall to Runan, and it felt like a vacant area for foreign rivers and lakes forces?" Lu Yuan frowned and asked.

"Oh, that's it, it's easy. First of all, after the news of the appearance of the Yuan Tu Sword in the Shaolin Temple, the major forces all exerted their efforts to let their affiliated forces control the major passages in and out of Henan, and the local forces were basically blocked out of Henan Province; Jiang Houlang said, picked up the water cup and took a sip of water.

"Muddy Waters Team, what is that?" Lu Yuan asked with a slight frown.

"It's strange to say, I don't even know how this team came all the way to sneak into the hinterland of the Central Plains. This is a team of twelve Tibetan tantric monks, basically monks under the age of twenty, who should have been scattered in various places before, and after hearing the news of Yuan Tu Jian, they began to gather near the Shaolin Temple. This time, you also know that the outposts of the various sects are basically people of the younger generation, and these tantric monks specially pick the people on the young Lin list to challenge, and threaten to go home if they can't pass their pass. There have been many outstanding talents on the Young Lin List who have been swept out of Henan. Jiang Houlang raised his chin as he spoke, and looked at Lu Yuan with some meaning—this one is also a little master on the Youlin list, and it won't be long before the cleaning team that heard the news arrives.

"Tantra? Is it the Tubo Tantra again?" Lu Yuan frowned slightly, this Tubo Tantra is really a-stirring stick, and he has to mix everything up? I don't know if this time is related to the case of Qiu Lao Wu, in short, Lu Yuan has a hunch in his heart that these people are not good.
