Although Xu Luo didn't say what he meant clearly, Yan Gao understood the meaning. A helpless smile appeared on his face, and he hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"It's not our turn to comment on what Mr. Si Zheng does, but we, the old people, know his character best.
On the surface, it seems that he doesn't care about anything and is free all day long, but in fact, given his identity, by doing this, isn't he protecting the rest of us?
Just look at these years, even in Panshi City, the headquarters of the General's Mansion, there are two or three kittens from the Exorcism Department, and they have never been bullied by anyone. Please taste them carefully."
Xu Luo knew that Yan Gao had some misunderstandings.
He didn't really have much contact with Yu Xiuguang, but he still had trust in the old man's character. However, there might be some things going on in the Rock City that little guys like them were not qualified to know.
Thinking of this, Xu Luo no longer hesitated, and after discussing with Yan Gao and Yan Gao how to contact each other and how to meet, they watched them leave.
It took almost half a month for Xu Luo to fully recover from his internal injuries, which shows how seriously he was injured in the battle at Little Rock City.
During this period, he was a little confused by the actions of the Exorcism Department. Everything was calm and everything was as usual. Even Yan Gao and his two men, who had been prepared to die, unexpectedly returned to the Exorcism Department smoothly.
The only change was that Panshi City declared martial law during this period, and no one was allowed in or out. The excuse was that there were spies from the Jin Dynasty.
Sha Qixi and Fat Aunt could only stay in the Exorcism Department for the time being.
Panshi City, the hub of the entire defense line, was under martial law, and the flow of caravans on the straight road became increasingly sparse. Xu Luo stayed in a dense forest beside the straight road, looking a little hesitant.
Although it looks calm on the surface, there are already dark clouds covering the bright character of Luo Xin Lake.
The transparent heart manifested such an obvious omen, which proves that the Military Control Department has already made an extremely unfavorable plan for Xu Luo, but now even the Exorcism Department has not been able to find out any information.
Many of the familiar faces from the General's Mansion often appear in the city.
From this we can also see how big the gap is between the Exorcism Department and the Military Control Department in Chunzhou. When people take it seriously, they are like a blind or deaf person who can only sit back and wait for death.
In the past half month, Xu Luo kept changing hiding places, making sure that no one could trace his traces.
But we can only stop here. Further ahead is the famous Xiaoluo Gorge of the Panshi Defense Line, which is also the current rotating garrison of the Youying Army.
Xiaoluo Gorge is not only a dangerous terrain, easy to defend but difficult to attack, the most important thing is that it is the fastest way to get to Panshi City within a radius of nearly a thousand miles.
This is not only for ordinary people, but also for practitioners.
After all, even if Xu Luo is now in the Body Washing Realm and a proper little master, he definitely doesn't want to deal with the endless mountains and countless poisonous insects, snakes and ants that he has heard of and never heard of day and night.
Even if you can successfully pass through the mountains and dangerous valleys to reach Rock City, the time required will still make people despair.
How could Xu Luo spend so much time here?
Xiaoluo Gorge is nearly a hundred miles long, but the widest part is only a few miles apart. The narrow part used to allow only one person to pass. Later, when Dayan was repairing the straight road, it was widened to accommodate two large vehicles.
Viewed from a high altitude, it looks like some god is holding a giant ax and cutting the rolling mountains into two pieces.
Even if Panshi City is under martial law, people are still coming and going in this canyon, and vehicles and caravans are passing through like flowing water.
Xu Luo concealed the aura of the Qingniu cart and drove slowly towards Xiaoluoguan, which was built at the widest part of the canyon.
But in fact, he was so panicked that until now, he had not thought about how to pass the pass without alerting the garrison.
He only tried his best because Xu Luo also understood that, with his weird image, it was really a fool's errand to sneak into Rock City quietly and show up again.
But as long as he is not besieged by a large army in this narrow Guancheng area, even if he is discovered, Xu Luo is confident that he can escape the tracking of the Imperial Army.
Xu Luo looked around. Apart from some pedestrians, most of the caravans coming and going were mostly large vehicles. Ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages were of different styles. Among them, the green ox-cart was not conspicuous.
But even if he can hide his aura from ordinary people, he certainly can't hide it from the army's evil formation.
In such a narrow area, if Xu Luo was attacked with concentrated fire from a Thousand Ox Crossbow, I don't know if Xu Luo could survive, but the Green Ox Cart and everything inside would probably be turned into powder.
Soon there was a specially widened resting place for caravan travelers ahead. There were also some restaurants and bars on the side of the straight road, which made it look a bit noisy.
As soon as Xu Luo drove the big car in, he was immediately greeted by enthusiastic boys.
"Sir, would you like some food or rest for the night?"
Come again!
Seeing the familiar gray uniform on the boy and the three silk thread embroidered words, Xu Luo's heart moved slightly, thinking of the other Lord coming back when he came, and the fat shopkeeper mysteriously disappearing deep into the cave late at night.
There was a flash of light in his eyes, and he instantly changed his original idea of just coming in to inquire about some information, and changed his words.
"I really can't hold on to Xiaoluo Pass anymore, so I'll rest here tonight!"
When the boy saw the big business, he immediately laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. He stretched out his hand to hold the big green cow, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find where the nose rope was. He couldn't help but look at Xu Luo in confusion.
"No, my big green cow is retired. My little brother will lead the way. I'll see if the room is clean first!"
Xu Luo waved his hand impatiently, motioning for the boy to lead the way.
The young man was very alert, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions when he saw that his face seemed a little unhappy, so he quickly turned sideways to lead the way.
"The guests who choose us are very discerning. We are not alone in this property. Every rest place on this straight road has the golden sign of We Junzai...
Please, please, guest, please come this way..."
While bragging about his shop, the boy quickly led Xu Luo into a branch of the huge cave.
The three characters "Jun Zai Lai" are clearly hanging on the door of this branch cave. Obviously, the entire cave inside is Jun Zai Lai's property.
The decoration inside the cave is antique, bright as day, and the furnishings are vaguely familiar.
What impressed Xu Luo most was that a row of skylights were specially opened in the cave towards the canyon, which not only provided ventilation, but also made the cave no longer feel dark and stuffy. It was really creative.
Through the wooden plank road, rows of holes were dug out in the tall cave walls, and thick wooden doors were installed. It seems that the so-called guest rooms are inside.
Sure enough, the boy took Xu Luo directly to a wooden door, and then looked at the Qingniu cart with a troubled face.
Livestock must not be allowed to live here. Xu Luo glanced at the huge wooden door that had been repaired under the plank road.
"Is livestock and debris stored under this plank road?"
The boy smiled and nodded, then looked at him eagerly.
Xu Luo didn't want to put him in trouble, so he walked out of the carriage with his crutches, and then pretended to point at the boy, signaling Qing Niu to follow him.
The green ox cart walked step by step into the huge wooden door under the plank road amid the frightened expression on the boy's face, as if he had just seen a ghost.
Xu Luo pushed open the wooden door. There was a bed and a table inside, and pine oil candles were burning on the wall. Although the air was full of light pine scent, it was still a bit dull.
But he didn't come here for that, so he didn't care too much.
After a while, the boy knocked on the door diligently again. Xu Luo knew that he also relied on these things to make a living, so he ordered some more food and wine before calming down.
Soon the night enveloped the entire Xiaoluo Gorge. It got darker in this canyon obviously earlier than in other places. The guests staying in Jun Zailai also went to bed early.
There were only a few pine oil candles left in the cave for lighting purposes only, making it appear a bit dim.
The boy, who had been lying in front of the counter and taking a nap, suddenly felt that the wooden door with a hole seemed to move slightly.
He thought he had a guest, but when he got up and rubbed his eyes, no one came down. He could only laugh at himself because he was dazzled by the flickering candlelight.
Xu Luo stood on the inner side of the plank road holding a crutch, like a statue.
Waiting until the boy fell asleep again, Xu Luo quietly ran towards the top of the plank road.
While chatting with the boy, he had already found out that the cave at the top of the plank road was the residence of Jun Zailai, the shopkeeper.
The solid wooden door was like tofu dregs, quietly shattering under Xu Luo's palm.
The cold wind blowing from the skylight blew the burning pine oil candles into uncertain brightness.
The figure lying in front of the desk reacted quickly, subconsciously straightening his back, tightening his muscles, and quietly stretched his arms to the bottom of the desk.
But immediately all his little movements came to a halt, because at some point, a white hand strangled his neck.
"Click..."
A low voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and the figure who was already dizzy from being pinched subconsciously felt a chill in his heart.
It's over. I'm most afraid of meeting such a cruel and ruthless person. He won't even say a word to you. He will kill you when he comes up. What do you want to know? You should ask first. I'm not holding on to anything.
Ken said!
But after waiting for a while, he woke up again and could clearly smell the smell of urine coming from his lower body.
Why is this person still eating, drinking and urinating when he is already dead...
But then he immediately realized that he was not dead!
The figure opened his eyes suddenly, and the familiar scenery in front of his eyes made him gasp loudly.
But he immediately recalled the exciting scene just now, and the figure turned his head stiffly, and saw a young man with a handsome face sitting on his original chair, looking at the information that had just been written on the table.
Seeing him wake up, Xu Luo lifted up the paper full of small words with a half-smile and placed it in front of the figure.
To be honest, it's quite detailed, including all his words and deeds, every move and every move he made after entering the King's Return, as well as the anomalies of the Green Ox Cart, all are listed one by one.
The Imperial Military Division has indeed become a success. Any spy can have this ability, so he is definitely a talented person.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. It is indeed wrong of me to secretly collect guest information, but this is just my kindness to all of you..."
The figure subconsciously spat out the prevarication that he had recited in his mind countless times, but before he could finish speaking, Xu Luo interrupted with a smile.
"Shopkeeper, I'm Xu Luo!"
The shopkeeper was like a chicken being strangled by the neck, unable to utter a single word.
