Zhou Renguang and Man Jin sat opposite each other.
Maybe they talked about some gossip before, although they were delayed for a few minutes, Lin Luo happened to hear the part of the meat play at this time.
I only heard Man Jindao: "This time, I sent someone to Beijing to investigate carefully, and I finally lived up to the general's mission, and there were amazing results." ”
"Come on. Zhou Renguang said without any mood fluctuations.
Man Jin sneered and continued: "General, do you know about Prime Minister Xu Yiqing's rebellion a year ago?"
Zhou Renguang said: "This matter is very troublesome, and I have heard about it in this city. Xu Yiqing entrusted the position of first assistant to the emperor, monopolized the power of the court, and conspired to usurp the throne. This is self-inflicted and deserved!"
Zhou Renguang was promoted by the current emperor to sit in the position of the defender of the city here, so he naturally stood firmly on the emperor's side.
Man Jin said with a smile: "The emperor is wise, of course this Xu Yiqing can't play any tricks." But general, do you know how many people there are in the Xu family?"
"How do I know this?"
Man Jin smiled proudly: "There are a total of eight people in the Xu family. But this time, the mass grave where my men went to the Xu family to bury quietly opened the coffin, and there were eight coffins, but only seven of them had the main owner, and the remaining coffin was empty!"
Zhou Renguang frowned, and said with interest: "Eh, who is missing?"
"Xu Yiqing's only son, Xu Lai. ”
Zhou Renguang snorted coldly: "It seems that this matter must be covered up by Xu Yiqing's remnants, presumably to leave some blood for the Xu family." ”
"Hehe, general, do you know that all the servants and men of the Xu family have been assigned to serve in the army, and two of them have arrived in this city!"
"Oh, who is it?"
"A housekeeper named Xu Da, and a young man who claims to be Xu Da's nephew, is called Lin Luo. Presumably, the military is very familiar. ”
Zhou Renguang nodded with a sneer: "I see." Presumably, this Lin Luo and Xu Yiqing's only son should be the same age, right? Hmph, I have always felt that this person is wrong, how can someone have such a clever building technique at a young age. It seems that this person did not learn the construction technique from the old master, but at that time in Xu Yiqing's mansion, there were masters who trained him from a young age!"
"The general's guess is naturally eight or nine. ”
The two of them guessed blindly for a while, thinking that they were like gods, but they didn't know that Lin Luo in the study listened to them word for word.
At this time, Lin Luo had already begun to sweat on his forehead. His own building skills did miss in the battle of the beast tide, but he didn't expect to cause these two guys to secretly investigate their origins.
However, how can there be any help from Xu Yiqing's remnants, Xu Yiqing's only son, Xu Lai, did drink poisoned wine and hung up, and he was inexplicably replaced. Zhou Renguang and Man Jin are of course speculating, but their bodies are really Xu Lai. If you find someone in the capital who is familiar with you to identify you in person, you have no room to deny it.
At this time, in the secret room, Man Jin continued: "How does the general plan to deal with this Lin Luo? ”
Zhou Renguang shook his head and said: "Let's press it for the time being, although this son is a remnant of the Xu family, he does have something outstanding in building skills, and he is still of some use." "Zhou Renguang thought to himself that as long as this son helped me build the Qianjun Power Room, it would be sold to the imperial court or other uses at that time, it would all be up to his own will.
Man Jin also agreed: "What the general said is extremely true! Last time, that kid helped me repair the qi gathering chamber, and the effect was greatly improved, and I made a lot of money this month! Leave him to build us more of this building, and it will be a big deal." Now that we have the handle of him, won't we let him do whatever he wants, and it won't cost half a penny! Haha! But general, we must also be careful to prevent him from escaping when he knows his identity is revealed!"
"Hmph, he's a weak warlock who doesn't have half of his martial arts, and he can still escape from my palm? If he cooperates obediently, I will reward him with a few mouthfuls of food. If he is disobedient, I will put a set of 20-pound shackles on him, and I will see if he can run!"
Rub, these two birdmen! I want to eat my bones so badly!
Lin Luo, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, couldn't help but curse in his heart.
If it weren't for the suspicion that I bumped into the two of them today, I would really be yin by these two birdmen.
Lin Luo made up his mind that he had to find a way to get out of here as soon as possible.
However, this side of the city is an impregnable fortress, and if you go inside, you are a prisoner of the empire, where can you escape?
Outside, all caravans going to trade with other countries will be strictly checked by the defenders of the border city, and then go down to the edge of the axe barrier by a large cable car, bypassing the edge of the sea of trees, before embarking on the road to other countries.
Except for this road, the rest of the places are dozens of zhang cliffs, not to mention people, even demon beasts can't go down.
Dozens of feet of cliffs? Lin Luo's mind began to move, did he use the construction technique to create something?
At this time, Zhou Renguang and Man Jin had finished gossiping in the secret room, Lin Luo hurriedly got up from the ground, sat upright behind the bookcase, and continued to pick up the pen to write and draw, until the sun set at the time of the unitary time, and then left normally as usual.
Walking out of the study, he happened to bump into Zhou Renguang walking over with his hands in his hand, Lin Luo tried his best to pretend to be as usual and saluted respectfully: "General, the villain will retire first today." ”
"Well, stand down. Zhou Renguang waved his hand casually.
Lin Luo turned his back and walked towards the front yard, but he could clearly feel that Zhou Renguang had been watching him from behind.
walked ten steps, but heard Zhou Renguang shouting behind him: "Xu Luo." ”
Lin Luo's steps were a little stiff suddenly, which was obviously testing himself. If I hadn't eavesdropped on the conversation between the two just now, I might have been able to behave more naturally, but now I really don't know what to say.
After only half a second of hesitation, Lin Luo showed his acting skills, turned around, and said with the most respectful smile on his face: "Is the general calling me? ”
Zhou Renguang's face was expressionless, but his eyes looked at Lin Luo directly, as if he wanted to see him through.
Lin Luo had always wondered if his facial muscles were also stiff because of his practice of Outer Gate Hard Kung Fu.
"I'm calling the people of the house. Zhou Renguang's eyes revealed a hint of banter about cats playing with rats. After he learned that Lin Luo was the remnant of the Xu family, he really couldn't help but come to play with him, which meant: General Ben knows everything! You kid can be honest with me!
"Haha, that's a villain trouble. Lin Luo turned around and walked out of the general's mansion without looking back, and made up his mind: Without further ado, I will leave tonight!
Zhou Renguang looked at Lin Luo's departing back, his face became even more cold, and shouted, "Someone!"
"What does the general command?" replied one of the guards.
"Leng Biao of the Detective Cavalry Camp came to see me. ”
"Yes. ”
Out of the General's Mansion, Lin Luo went straight to the West Market in the city. After walking around the market for a while, Lin Luo came to an abandoned courtyard in a secluded place on the edge of the market.
With the help of the boundary building, Lin Luo quickly found an authentic entrance.
This is one of the three secret passages in the secret chamber under the gas gathering chamber.
As long as you open the secret passage with your telekinesis, you can go straight to the secret room, and then change to another secret passage out of the city, and you can escape from the city.
But what about getting out of town?
To climb beyond the axe barrier, there is only one way to climb the cable car controlled by the defenders, and the others are dozens of zhang cliffs, and there is no other road. However, Lin Luo was not worried about this.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lin Luo suddenly felt that he had forgotten something, and patted his head and said, "Oops, I forgot Uncle Da." ”
Zhou Renguang already knew Xu Da's identity, if he ran away like this, Uncle Da might not have any good fruit to eat if he stayed here, and most of them would be tortured by Zhou Renguang and finally killed.
Lin Luo hurriedly rushed back to his small building, and as soon as he entered the front yard, he shouted: "Uncle Da! Uncle Da!
Before the words "collect luggage" were finished, Lin Luo swallowed it stiffly.
"What is flashing? What does Captain Lin want to receive?" I saw a short man sitting in the living room on the first floor, looking at himself with a smile, it was Captain Leng Biao Leng of the Tancai Battalion.
"Uncle Da, it's lightning, put away your clothes. Lin Luo sighed in his heart, alas, it seems that his acting skills are not up to par at all in the general's place, so he sent someone to the door so soon.
Xu Da walked to the front yard and looked at the sky and said, "Huh, there is no lightning, young master, are you mistaken?" ”
Lin Luo had a headache, and said coldly to his fists: "Captain Leng, I don't know what to do when you come to the door?"
"Recently, there seem to be bandits in the city, and the general has an order to let me protect the safety of Captain Lin day and night. ”
"Close protection day and night? My small building is so narrow, it's not easy to arrange a place for Captain Leng to rest at night?"
Xu Da on the side said: "It's okay, it's okay, the old servant can make a bunk!"
Leng Biao smiled: "You don't need to worry, when I was exploring in the sea of trees, there were too many ways to find a place to sleep. ”
Leng Biao opened his luggage, unfolded a hammock, tied the two ends to the two beams and pillars in the building, and his body was already lying flat on it, and he didn't see any shaking of the hammock, as if Leng Biao's thin body was made of cotton.
The people of the Tancai Battalion have always been known for their light body skills and keen ears and eyes, and Leng Biao, as the captain of the Tancai Battalion, is the best among them.
Lin Luo felt a very headache, and said in his heart: Damn, you think you are a little dragon girl! But being targeted by such a person, how can you get out?
