Xu Luo walked out of the door without waiting for a response from the two of them. When Jin Wulian heard the words "Dishui Inkstone", his expression suddenly changed slightly and he turned to look at her husband.
Li Boyu's eyes flashed with anger, but he hesitated for a moment and still called Xu Luo who was about to go out.
When Xu Luo looked back, there was already a hint of appropriate shame on his face.
"Speaking of which, Xu Xunyou had a life-saving relationship with me, Lieutenant Xuan Yu, in the past. The trick about the dripping inkstone is by no means as simple as it seems. Baihu has always been the residence of the Zhao family, so please be more careful."
Xu Luo was slightly stunned. He really didn't expect that Li Boyu would deliberately remind him, but he noticed the uncontrollable shame and anger in his eyes, and he understood something in his heart.
I'm afraid that the Zhao family has become more and more powerful in recent years. No wonder Li Boyu threw this weird thing like a hot potato.
But since the person reminded them kindly, Xu Luo had to appreciate it. He bowed to the two of them before pushing the door open.
Until Xu Luo's figure disappeared outside the door, Jin Wulian, who could no longer hold himself back, said anxiously.
"Brother Yu, ordinary dripping inkstones can only sell mundane goods, but the involved blood inkstone is now the Zhao family's biggest source of wealth. Why don't you just tell Xu Luo..."
"Wu Lian, do you know what you are talking about?"
But before she could finish speaking, Li Boyu interrupted her with a sharp shout.
Jin Wulian's face was full of surprise, and her beautiful eyes were filled with mist. After so many years of marriage, Li Boyu had never scolded her like this.
Seeing his wife's aggrieved look, Li Boyu's heart softened again, and his words subconsciously became gentle.
"Wu Lian, you and I are no longer children, and Xu Luo is even less so!
You know that since ancestor Ziyang of the Zhao family was promoted to the Aiki realm, these years have been the times when his Qi has been at a high level, but our Taijun's health has been deteriorating in recent years.
People have been eyeing our Li family for a long time. Are you afraid that they won't find a chance?
If you know that these words are coming from you and me, with your wisdom, don’t you know what we will face..."
At this point, his tone became a little stern, even a little cold.
"Even if you haven't thought of it, since you are the wife of the Li family, you should have thought of it!"
Jin Wulian shuddered, and the aggrieved expression on his face quickly turned into disbelief. He looked at Li Boyu, whose eyes were a little evasive, as if he had just met him on the first day.
Li Boyu's eyes moved, and seeing her puzzled look, anger welled up in his heart.
Who doesn't want to be a good person who knows how to repay kindness, but if the Li family declines, what good end will we end up as husband and wife? Do you want Xiao Yu'er to go to the Industry Department to keep company with those untouchables in the future?
Seeing that Jin Wulian didn't speak and just stared at him, Li Boyu snorted coldly and simply turned his head and stopped looking at her.
The tears in Jin Wulian's eyes finally couldn't help but flow out, and she chased outside regardless.
She can't control what others do, but she, Jin Wulian, has always been proud and strong in her life, and would rather die than be so ungrateful!
But before she could rush out of the yard, a childish cry sounded in her ears.
"Mother, Bao'er has already copied the calligraphy stickers, so don't be angry!"
Jin Wulian suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his figure came to an abrupt halt, and his Xiuzu was still in place even when he lifted it up in the air and put it down.
"Mother, why are you ignoring Xiao Yu'er?"
Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, Xiao Yu'er rushed over like a little tiger and hugged her long legs reluctantly.
"Mom, don't be angry!"
Jin Wulian didn't dare to speak, for fear that she would cry if she opened her mouth. She just felt that she had never been so weak at this moment. A few forced smiles appeared on her face, and she squatted down and hugged Bao'er tightly in her arms. .
"Mom, it's okay, it's okay..."
But as he smiled, tears slipped quietly from his fair face.
As soon as Xu Luo returned to Xiansi Island, Cui Hao greeted him with a smile.
Although this man was a bit rough-and-tumble, he was also very decisive and never hesitated when it was time to be cruel. At this moment, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Xu Luo's situation was not good, but he took the initiative to get involved.
"Here we go, this is the case that we just got from Xuan Yuwei. You can take it for a look first, but don't put too much hope in it."
Xu Luo didn't show any politeness to him, and threw away the case file that had not yet been warmed. He climbed out of the cart, staggered to the pavilion next to him and sat down.
The slave who came after hearing the sound had already brought his favorite passion tea, and poured a cup for Cui Hao, who was concentrating on reading the case files.
Cui Hao nodded subconsciously to thank him, but when he noticed the spirit-level spirit aura on Jinu's body, the smile on his face suddenly froze.
Darling, what kind of cultivation is this Xu Xunyou? He is a servant of spirit-level monsters. The big families in this reward city are not so brave, right?
Dong Dong, Xu Luo frowned and tapped on the stone table a few times in dissatisfaction.
"Read your case file carefully. What are you thinking about? The slave is my family!"
Cui Hao took a sneak peek, and when he saw Ji Nu's bright appearance, he immediately smiled at Xu Luo with a smile that every man would understand.
Seeing Xu Luo's expression becoming increasingly dissatisfied, he quickly fixed his gaze on the case file.
After a long while, Cui Hao finally put down the case file. He stood up and was about to pour the tea cup into his mouth, but suddenly thought that this was tea brewed by the spirit-level spirit himself. He took a careful sip and never put it down again.
"Inspection, judging from the experience of my subordinates, the most difficult thing to deal with in this incident is not some strange thing, but the Zhao family. If they interfere with it, then I'm afraid we can't do anything."
Xu Luo showed interest and motioned for him to continue.
In fact, he wasn't very interested in these so-called big families, especially after the battle in Rock City and his unintentional breakthrough to the blood exchange realm.
Xu Luo already knew that with his current strength, he could not claim to be invincible in Dayan, but as long as he was not trapped by something like a large array of talismans, absolutely no one could keep him.
Although he had a rough plan in mind for this matter, he was still new here after all, so it would be a good idea to listen to the opinions of these local snakes.
"The inspection tour should also have some guesses about why our Exorcism Department doesn't put its headquarters in the Reward Capital City, right?"
Seeing Xu Luo nodding in agreement, Cui Hao continued to talk,
In fact, just as Xu Luo guessed, due to the existence of the city's protective talisman array, not to mention the Exorcism Department, any force with a little bit of strength and ambition has been moving its foundation outside the city in recent years.
This does not mean that we must go against the royal family, it is just the most basic self-preservation instinct of an independent force.
Compared to the other Li, Ren, and Yang families, the Zhao family started its power the latest, and the suitable territory outside the city had long been divided up, so they had no choice but to choose the extremely deserted and remote Baihuyuan.
Fortunately, although the population here is sparse and the land is barren, there is no shortage of various spiritual mineral deposits.
Ordinary people only know that the dripping inkstone is an excellent treasure for nourishing the mind and nourishing the energy, but they do not know that the highest quality dripping blood inkstone is also a companion spiritual creature that is extremely suitable for spiritual enlightenment.
It is precisely because of this that after the Zhao family brought Guanpu City under their control, their power increased instead of decreasing. Coupled with the fact that *** broke through the Aiki realm a few years ago, the power is even more prosperous.
Heqi realm, Dayan Ming's top combat power!
Xu Luo's heart was slightly disturbed. Among the big forces that could make a name for themselves in the capital city, none of them were simple, and he had finally reached this point.
He looked at Cui Hao, who had a cautious look in his eyes and smiled.
"It's okay, our Exorcism Division has always been about convincing people with reason, so senior *** wouldn't dare to disobey the Exorcism Division's orders!"
Cui Hao was stunned when he heard this. Are you sure you are talking about us exorcists and are you trying to convince others with your reasoning?
Xu Luo patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.
"Don't worry, let's go to Baihuyuan first. You can take Huang Hewei's brothers to get some supplies from the treasurer. I've already said hello to the treasurer."
Seeing that Xu Luo had made up his mind, Cui Hao could only apologize and leave.
…
"Is this Baihuyuan?"
Xu Luo looked at the rapidly rising terrain in front of him, jumped off the carriage shaft, and picked up the slightly red soil under his feet with the tip of his turn, his eyes full of curiosity.
Behind him, Cui Hao and Huang Hewei hurriedly caught up.
"Sir, please don't be misled by this bad name. Baihuyuan means plateau. It is a plateau mountainous area between Huanjian Mountain and Fangshan Mountain.
Over the past few decades, this place has become increasingly deserted, as if it was cursed by God.
My subordinates heard from the elders that this place used to be a land of fertile water and grass, but now even the water has begun to appear faintly red.
Guanpu City, which the Zhao family operates as its foundation, only has tens of thousands of people, so you can imagine what other places are like."
"How far is Guanpu City from here?"
No one noticed that Xu Luo's face looked a little ugly at this moment. When he just stirred up the red mud, he was keenly aware that there was a familiar sinister aura in the mud, but it was extremely weak.
If Xu Luo hadn't been born with a sharp spiritual sense, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect it if he had the useless bamboo next to him.
Cui Hao clamped his legs around the dragon-scaled horse and ran to the front to lead the way, not forgetting to answer.
"Don't worry about the patrol. With our speed, we can arrive in the evening at most."
As soon as he left, Zhao Yang took over the position behind him, waiting beside the cart as if he was always waiting for orders.
But this boy was young and had a wild temper. From time to time he would peek at Xu Luo sitting on the shaft of the car. He obviously couldn't figure out why the two of them looked about the same age. How could Xu Luo practice so fast?
Although he couldn't tell Xu Luo's specific realm, Cui Tou, who was in the Tongmai realm, behaved like a grandson in front of Xu Luo, which was at least above the Body Washing realm.
Xu Luo closed his eyes slightly, seizing every breath to figure out the new magical power of Tiangang Transformation.
If you look closely at his palms, you will find that there seems to be no movement on the surface, but in fact, every moment, the slender fingers are constantly trembling, and they are all fat, thin, thick and short.
This is no wonder Xu Luo, if he really had the chance to learn this skill, any man would probably do his best.
Cui Hao is not a scoundrel, but he is indeed reliable.
Before evening, a small city appeared in the sight of several people in the distance, and in the distance was the majestic and continuous Huanjian Mountain, followed by waves of vague muffled sounds.
As the distance got closer and closer, the muffled sound gradually became louder, and finally it was almost deafening.
