"My mistakes are all the fault of my subordinates. I am willing to sacrifice my cultivation, just hoping that the patrol can spare me this time!"
"You idiot!"
"Husband, please don't..."
The angry screams and howls of Cui Hao and Huo Niangzi sounded almost at the same time.
But before he finished speaking, Huo Qiye's generous palm already lit up with red light, and he slapped his Dantian hard.
Xu Luo really didn't expect that this honest and honest man could be so fierce.
On the other hand, Cui Hao, who was next to him and knew his temperament well, seemed to have been prepared for it. The sharp crane claws on his thick arms grew out of thin air and pinned him to the ground unable to move.
"Inspection, please show mercy as long as the couple has not made any big mistake!"
Although Sha Qiye had been restrained, Cui Hao clearly understood who had the final say here and looked over with a pleading look on his face.
Xu Luo glanced at Madam Huo thoughtfully, and saw that she was already hugging Huo Qiye and crying until she was inhuman shape. It seemed that the relationship between the two was not adulterated, so he waved his hand boringly.
"You two, let's go. Madam Huo, you should be grateful that there was no accident this time, otherwise no one can save you."
Cui Hao and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief in unison, and Huo Qiye, who had long been determined to die, suddenly collapsed on the ground.
Although he has a simple and honest face, he sees things much more clearly than his mother-in-law, and he understands even more how difficult it is to escape from a cruel person like Xu Luo.
Lady Huo looked at her husband who was always as calm as a mountain and looked like a ghost. Then she belatedly lay down on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"The slave family thanked me for not killing during the patrol. I only regret that I couldn't hold back the greed in my heart and regretted it too late..."
Xu Luo sighed in his heart, you should thank your husband for risking his life to save her and never leaving her. He didn't want to pay attention to this stupid woman anymore, and was about to turn around and leave when his heart moved again.
"When did the Zongren Mansion find you?"
The Fire Lady was stunned and blurted out subconsciously.
"About two months ago!"
Tsk tsk, wasn’t that the time when I decided to come to reward Beijing!
Xu Luo sneered secretly in his heart, said nothing and slowly walked towards the front yard.
Cui Hao looked at Xu Luo's leaving figure with a bitter look on his face. He moved his lips a few times but still didn't say anything.
Huo Qiye stayed with Huang Hewei for two years, but he didn't know how much time and energy he spent on the obsession in his heart, but now he was ruined by his stupid wife.
He faced Lady Huo who was lying on the ground crying bitterly, showing her hatred and resentment.
"I don't know what you idiot is thinking. You actually want to be clever in front of a parade of people like this?"
The more he talked, the more angry he became, and he subconsciously wanted to slap him, but was immediately stopped by Cui Hao.
"The matter has come to an end. It's useless to talk more. Let's go. Don't show up in front of the parade again if you have nothing to do!"
Zhao Yang next to him showed anger on his face and subconsciously yelled.
"Boss, what about Xiao Sang..."
"Shut up! Go."
Cui Hao interrupted him with an ugly expression and walked out first.
Zhao Yang spat disdainfully at Madam Huo and quickly followed her. Huo Qiye's tall and tall figure suddenly became decadent, as if he had suddenly aged several years.
"Boss Cui has been worried about Xiao Sang's affairs, his future, and his practice all these years. Now that he has become a man, but...hey, how can we be worthy of him!"
The remorseful Lady Huo looked at her husband and subconsciously wanted to say something, but her lips moved but she still didn't say anything.
Xu Luo looked at Huang Hewei who was leaving in two parts in his spiritual consciousness, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Xiao Sang? Didn’t Cui Hao say that he is alone?
But at this moment, he really didn't dare to agree to anything. The next task of rescuing Gu Siyan was like touching a tiger's butt, and the danger could be imagined.
Other than the exorcist Yu Guogong, the only person who could accomplish such a big thing in Moshui County was the Xia family of the imperial family. This was not a rising star like the Zhao family.
More than a hundred years ago before Hongyue's sudden change, the two families were already the top dignitaries in Dayan.
Just think about how terrifying the white-haired man who is suspected to be Gu Changsheng is, and you can know how deep the Yu and Xia families were who were able to stand on equal terms with him back then.
"Xu Luo, do you really not want to help him?"
The slave brought a cup of medicine, Xu Luo poured it into his stomach, and then frowned.
"Why is it so bitter this time?"
Jinu smiled playfully and did not answer, but stared at his expression curiously. Xu Luo gave this girl a strange look, then raised his eyes and looked in the direction Cui Hao left.
"Wait a little longer! If this plan goes well, then I can help you... eh..."
At this moment, the cup of medicine he had just drank suddenly turned into a refreshing breath, quietly moisturizing the meridians of the body. Xu Luo closed his eyes and felt it carefully for a moment, then opened his eyes with a look of surprise.
"This medicinal diet can actually strengthen the meridians?"
"how does it feel?"
Seeing that he finally discovered the beauty of it, Jinu's little face turned red with joy, as if he was coming to praise me.
"This is the newly developed nourishing soup of the Nu family. Even with your current physique, the effect is extraordinary."
you still need to ask?
Xu Luolian temporarily put aside all his worries and rewarded her with a slap on the head. Before the little girl could get angry, he had already flown out.
"Let's go and ask for the bill!"
Upon hearing this, Jinu's beautiful eyes immediately shone brightly, and she jumped towards the carriage. The green ox cart rumbled to catch up with Xu Luo, lifted him onto the shaft, and drove towards the imperial city.
To Xu Luo's expectation, the walls of the imperial city were only about two feet long and did not appear very tall.
But when he got closer, he discovered the mystery. Those bricks and stones that seemed to be arranged crookedly, if connected together, were clearly huge runes arranged in sequence.
When Xu Luo subconsciously placed his spiritual consciousness on it.
Phew, that spiritual consciousness disappeared in an instant like carbonization. Xu Luo, who was caught off guard, couldn't help but groan, feeling slightly awe-inspiring.
Before he had gone very far, Xuan Yu appeared in front of him wearing talisman armor.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty just had an appointment and was delayed for some time."
Xu Luo waved his hands indifferently and looked at the city wall extending into the distance with curiosity.
"This entire imperial city is also part of the city protection talisman formation?"
This matter is obviously not a secret. It stands to reason that almost everyone knows about Xu Luo's level. It's just that he, a country bumpkin, is ignorant.
Xuanyu simply nodded.
"That's right, I didn't live in Huanjing before the inspection, so I didn't know anything about it.
Not only the imperial city's sect's mansion, the exorcism department, the Duke's mansion, the city gate department and other key places, they are all part of the talisman formation."
Xu Luo knew that there must be more than what he said, but the main purpose of coming here this time was to get the golden spiritual object to refine the hatchet.
As his level of cultivation increased, the hatchet that was so easy to use at first became increasingly useless.
However, it is more difficult to improve spiritual objects such as weapons than other spiritual objects, and the Great Yan royal family controls almost all the gold essence producing areas.
Xuanyu suppressed the speed of the dragon scale horse and walked side by side with the cart.
"This time around the Zhao family, the Clan Mansion has taken advantage of it. Master Wuyou Palace has given orders that the patrol can choose spiritual objects at will in both the Imperial City and the Clan Mansion. I wonder where the patrol wants to go?"
Zongren Mansion?
Xu Luo's heart moved, and he could see that the royal family was trying to woo her, but there was no reason for him to refuse the benefits offered to him.
Just when he was about to speak, Xuanyu hesitated and spoke again.
"The inspection tour probably hasn't been to the Zongren Mansion yet, why not go there first?"
The surprise in Xu Luo's eyes flashed, there was something in his words! But why did Xuanyu show his kindness like this?
His mind was racing, but his face remained calm, smiling and nodding.
"Then follow Xia Sizheng's wishes..."
Unexpectedly, Xuanyu interrupted him at this moment.
"We've known each other for so long, but I forgot to remind the patrol that my surname is Xuan Mingyu now, not Xia!"
The Qingniu cart paused for a moment, and Xu Luo looked at Xuanyu's back, who instantly crossed the cart and led the way, with a look of amusement on his face.
It's really interesting that this person doesn't want to be named Xia?
It seems that there is another story here, but since Xuanyu didn't tell it, Xu Luo naturally wouldn't point it out. The cart rumbled by, and it didn't take long for the two of them to arrive in front of a magnificent and quiet mansion.
"Preview, please!"
Xuanyu acted as if nothing had happened. His face was obviously covered in scars and extremely ugly, but he exuded a gentle and elegant temperament, which seemed extremely contradictory.
Xu Luo walked out of the cart with a cane and looked at the lintel with the three characters "Zongren Mansion" written on it. It was covered with cobwebs and dirt.
He looked at Xuanyu in confusion. Is this really the prestigious clan mansion?
Xuanyu laughed a few times.
"The so-called mountain is not high, but there are immortals and spirits. For us cultivators, it is just a mere foreign object..."
While he explained forcefully, he pushed open the heavy door. Fortunately, the inside was quite decent and didn't look like a ghost house. As soon as the door opened, a servant came to greet him.
Xuanyu waved her hand to the visitor and personally led Xu Luo into the backyard.
Appearing in front of the two people was a six-story stone tower with no doors or windows. Four bronze bells of spirit beasts were hung on the eaves of each floor, swaying gently in the breeze, making a sweet sound.
Xu Luo pretended to look at the copper bell with curiosity, and then looked at the stone door in front of him as if nothing had happened, but in fact, he took a deep breath in his heart.
Tsk tsk, the spirit-level monsters are used to guard the door. The secrets of this sect's mansion are probably beyond everyone's expectations.
Xuan Yu threw an octagonal jade plaque forward and saluted respectfully.
"According to the order of the master of the palace, Xuanyu and others must go to the treasure pavilion and ask the clan elders to open the Dizi Pavilion."
Before he finished speaking, the jade plaque strangely froze in mid-air, and then a dry chicken claw appeared out of thin air and pinched the jade plaque, and a hoarse and decaying voice sounded in the air.
"allow!"
The stone door opened with a bang, and in an instant the world seemed to be turned upside down, and the things in sight became blurry.
Xu Luo and Xu Luo were standing there quietly without moving, but the scene in front of them had completely changed.
Five-colored light shone on the two people from all directions, followed by all kinds of energy surges.
Xu Luo looked around curiously, as if no one had been here for a long time.
Seeing the doubt in Xu Luo's eyes, Xuan Yu smiled and explained.
"There are four treasure troves in the Zongren Mansion. The Xuanhuang level would not like it even if they were inspected, so Xuanyu took it upon himself to apply for the earth level treasure treasury. Please don't blame me for inspecting it."
