Excalibur laughs

After listening to Ling Shu's words, Luo Qu and Liang Tianlin couldn't help frowning. The two were silent for a while, before Luo Qu said quietly: "I've heard for a long time that Meng Zhang is unscrupulous. After listening to the words of the seniors today, it seems that the rumors are true. Brother Yun It's really chilling to end up like this for the Meng family."

Ling Shu also sighed and said, "It's a pity that Ling Chu is still kept in the dark. My young lady was afraid that she would be sad, so she never dared to tell her."

Luo Qu also felt inexplicable in his heart, and said: "Being in the royal family is destined to be involuntary in many things, especially in the human race. The Meng family has survived for so many years in the human race because of the shrewdness and calculations of the Meng brothers and sisters. There is nothing wrong with calculating, but it is too cold to be so cruel."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly changed the subject and asked, "What can Luo do for Brother Yun?"

Ling Shu smiled and said: "The second master is different from the Meng family. People from the ghost clan dare to fight against the Meng family. It is expected that the Meng family will not dare to go to war with the ghost clan, but they dare not trouble the second master. They are from the Spirit Clan, but they are people from the Spirit Clan after all, if the Ghost Clan attacks Guyun City, the Spirit Clan will never sit idly by."

Liang Tianlin looked puzzled, and asked: "Humans and Spirits have a covenant. Once the ghosts invade the humans, the Spirits will definitely send troops to help. This is why the ghosts have not dared to attack the humans for so many years. Why did the ghosts suddenly attack the humans?" Are you so bold? Aren't they afraid that the Spirit Race will intervene in this matter?"

Ling Shu was expressionless, and he said slowly after a long time: "The ghost clan came prepared this time, and they must be absolutely sure that the spirit clan will not interfere in this matter. They learned from Yunkou that the thunder sword is in the hands of the second master, I will definitely come to test it out, and I hope that the second master can help me a lot when the time comes."

Luo Qu nodded, and said: "Luo owes Brother Yun a favor, I'll help you with this favor, it's getting late, senior, please rest early, if the ghost clan comes, I will take care of myself."

Ling Shu nodded, and then left the hall under the leadership of the servants.

Luo Qu and Liang Tianlin were sitting in the lobby, they didn't speak, as if they were waiting for someone.

After a while, Fourth Master walked in with big strides. Luo Qu asked him about the smell of blood, frowning and asked, "Have the spies from the ghost clan arrived in the city yet?"

Fourth master found a seat and sat down, picked up the teapot directly, and drank non-stop.

Luo Qu looked at him with a smile on his face, and didn't rush him.

After the fourth master drank the tea in the teapot in one breath, he wiped his mouth and scolded: "The group of ghost clansmen carry hidden weapons and poison with them. How can ordinary businessmen dress up like this? I will take care of everything according to the third brother's order." Lost."

Luo Qu looked worried, and said: "The undercurrent of the human race is raging, the ghost race is ready to move, the spirit race is watching from the sidelines, and the Raksha clan is recharging their energy. It seems that the world will not be peaceful again."

The fourth master said carelessly: "Our Guyun City is separated from the four clans, and the outside world has turned upside down, so it has nothing to do with us."

Luo Qu sighed, and said: "If it really comes to the day when the world is in chaos, how can you and I stay out of it."

The fourth master didn't care, and said with a smile: "If that day really comes, we brothers will find a paradise and stop worrying about the grievances and hatreds in this world. Wouldn't our lives be much happier?"

Luo Qu shook his head helplessly, and said, "Sometimes I really want to live as free and easy as you."

After he finished speaking, he said to the fourth master: "Go and replace the fifth child. I will send him to the capital of the human race. Yunyun has been kind to our brothers. He is in trouble now. If we don't care, It was spread out that our brothers were ungrateful, which only made the world laugh at me. Although I never cared about other people's opinions, I still have to repay the kindness that should be repaid."

The fourth master nodded, and was about to go out, but Luo Qu stopped him again, and said with a little worry: "You tell the fifth son, this time I will allow him to bring the fox with him, but when he comes to the human race, he must be careful." Be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must not be promiscuous and troublesome, otherwise I will not be able to spare him."

After Liang Tianlin heard this, he couldn't help laughing out loud, and said, "Second brother, if you are worried about the fifth brother, you might as well send the fourth brother there, so that they can take care of each other."

Luo Qu glanced at Liang Tianlin angrily, and scolded, "It's thanks to you that you figured it out. When the two of them are together, there will be three feet of waves if there is no wind. Without you and me by my side, who can control the fourth child?" When the time comes, the human race will be thrown into chaos, and that old man Shen Changfeng will find another opportunity to reprimand me in front of everyone in the Spirit Race."

Liang Tianlin laughed and said: "Old man Shen can only speak bad things about you behind his back now, if you don't even let him speak bad things, Lingdi will be sick by then. Can't bear it."

As soon as these words were said, even Luo Qu couldn't help laughing, and it took a long time to calm down, and said: "Okay, it's late at night, you all go to rest, clean up the city in the next few days, and wait for the distinguished guests Come to the door."

Liang Tianlin and the fourth master stood up together and clasped their fists at Luo Qu, saying, "Second Brother also rested earlier, we are leaving."

On the second day, Meng Hui early received Luo Qu's arrangement to go to Shuanglong City. He had already personally guarded the gate of the city all night. At this moment, he felt sleepy and wanted to find a place to sleep well.

But when he heard that Luo Qu allowed him to take the fox to the human race, he immediately regained his spirits. Fearing that Luo Qu would repent, he hurriedly picked up the fox and rushed towards the capital of the human race.

A few days later, the Luo Qu brothers were hunting in the countryside, and suddenly a large group of soldiers rushed over from a distance. The fourth master saw those people from a distance, and frowned, "It's the scout battalion responsible for collecting information. What are you here for?"

Luo Qu got off his horse, handed the bow and arrow to the attendants, slowly put on the cloak, and said, "I didn't enjoy myself today, come back another day."

The people from the scout battalion soon arrived in front of Luo Qu, they all knelt down and shouted in unison: "Participate in the city lord!"

Luo Qu nodded lightly, and while arranging his clothes, he asked, "Scout battalions rarely show up in the city in person. You rushed back in such a hurry, what happened?"

The leading man took out a sheepskin letter from his pocket, held it in his palm, and replied: "The ghost tribe has an urgent report, and I hope the city lord will make a decision."

Fourth master walked towards the man quickly, took the letter from the man's hand and handed it to Luo Qu, Luo Qu opened it and read it slowly.

After a while, Luo Qu finished reading the letter, Luo Qu looked expressionless, found a trustworthy person beside him, and ordered: "You hand over this letter to Madam, and then let Madam pass it on to Senior Ling, no one is allowed to see it. .”

The attendant received the order and disappeared into the crowd.

Luo Qu looked at the scout battalion, and said again: "Since you are back, stay in the city, there will be another batch of scout battalion to take over from you, don't tell outsiders what happened today."

After finishing speaking, he said to Liang Tianlin and Fourth Master: "Follow me out of the city, there are distinguished guests waiting."

Luo Qu only took Liang Tianlin and Fourth Master to the outside of the city, and when they arrived at a dense forest outside the city, there was already a graceful woman waiting there.

When the woman heard the sound of the horse's hooves, she looked towards the place where the sound came from. After seeing the Luo Qu brothers, her face was filled with joy at first, and then replaced by a strange expression.

Luo Qu rode up to the woman, and said with a loud smile, "Saint, I haven't seen you for a few years, so you'll be fine."

That woman was He Xu, she bowed slightly to Luo Qu, and said coldly, "Thanks to the second master, He Xu's past few years have not been bad."

Hearing the resentment in her tone, Luo Qu knew that she held a grudge against what happened back then, so he could only apologize: "It is true that Luo Mou was sorry for you for what happened back then, and I haven't had the chance to apologize to you in person for so many years, so I'm here today." I admit my mistake to you, and I hope you don't bear any grudge against Luo."

Seeing that Luo Qu, who was always proud and arrogant, would apologize to him, He Xu was relieved a lot after being shocked, and his tone softened a little, and said, "Forget it, the matter is over, and He Xu doesn't want to hold on to this matter forever." Don't let it go, besides, He Xu still has to ask the second master now."

Luo Qu smiled knowingly, and asked straightforwardly: "Miss He wants Luo to rescue Yun?"

He Xu frowned, and said in shock, "Yun Yun? What's wrong with him?"

Luo Qu was also surprised, and asked in confusion, "You don't know about the things in the cloud?"

He Xu was anxious and hurriedly asked, "What happened to him? Second Master, tell me quickly."

Seeing this, Luo Qu sighed, and said: "I also heard from the senior Ling Shu of the Raksha tribe that Yun Yun was caught by the Human Race's Loyalty Society and fell into the hands of the ghost slave. The ghost slave forced him to say something. The whereabouts of Jinglei Sword and Oracle, Yun Yun lied that Jinglei Sword was in my hand in order to prevent ghost slaves from knowing the real whereabouts of Jinglei Sword."

When He Xu heard the word "ghost slave", his complexion changed suddenly, and he said in surprise, "ghost slave? That bastard who is neither male nor female?"

Seeing He Xu's excitement, Luo Qu asked, "The saint knows this ghost slave? Could it be that he is a powerful character?"

He Xu shook his head with a look of contempt, and said, "His mystical realm is only the top grade of Taixuan, and his martial arts can only be regarded as mediocre among ghosts, but he is proficient in sorcery and has a charming mind for him to drive. Everyone in the ghost clan calls him Ghost Slave, and if the cloud falls into his hands, I'm afraid he will suffer some hardships."

Luo Qu secretly remembered the name Ghost Slave in his mind, and asked, "What do you mean when you said you asked me for something?"

He Xu looked worried, and sighed, "The second master must have heard about the demon king's change of position, right?"

Luo Qu nodded and said, "Such a big event like the Demon Lord's translocation has already spread throughout the world, even if I don't want to know about it."

He Xu was full of worry and said: "I originally wanted to go to the human race to ask Yunyun for help, but I didn't expect that even Yunyun fell into their hands."

Luo Qu asked Liang Tianlin and Fourth Master to guard the outside, and then walked slowly in the forest with He Xu, asking, "What happened inside the ghost clan?"

He Xu thought for a while, and said, "I'm not very clear about the reason. What I found out was that my grandfather was not in the ghost clan that day, and the four elders of the clan joined forces with several other masters to suddenly attack the Demon Lord. , although the Demon Venerable seriously injured a few people, he was outnumbered in the end, and was taken away from the dragon spirit, and imprisoned in the death row of the ghost clan."

Luo Qu couldn't help changing his expression slightly when he heard the words, and asked: "Zhuge Changming has been in the ghost clan for many years, and he knows that the elders and ministers of the ghost clan have ghosts in their hearts. Don't they have their own confidants?"

He Xu smiled bitterly and said, "For the sake of the peace of the ghost clan, the Demon Lord has always disapproved of attacking the human race. The ministers in the clan complained to him a lot, so only a few ministers were loyal to him. Guessing that the elders would make trouble, he brought those confidantes with him, but what was strange was that when the elders and ministers besieged the Demon Lord, those confidants not only failed to help the Demon Lord, but instead fought against the Demon Lord together with the rebels. The Demon Venerable had no help from inside and outside, and finally fell into their hands. When my grandfather returned to the ghost clan, the overall situation in the clan had been settled, and even if he wanted to save the Demon Venerable, he would have no other choice."

Luo Qu's face changed slightly, and then he asked lightly: "He Lao is Zhuge Changming's master. Zhuge Changming was able to become the Demon Lord back then. He owed a lot to him. Over the years, the Demon Lord has trusted him very much. After the new Demon Venerable succeeds to the throne, the first thing he does must be to eradicate dissidents, the relationship between Mr. He and Zhuge Changming, I'm afraid his life will not be easy, right?"

He Xu flicked his long hair lightly, and said, "Although Zhuge Changting doesn't trust my grandpa, my grandpa is the Great Elder after all, so he doesn't dare to do anything to my grandpa. Standing empty, there is no way to rescue the Demon Lord, the ghost clan is full of Zhuge Changting's forces, it is useless to stay in the ghost clan, I finally slipped out of the ghost clan, hoping to find a way out."

Hearing this, Luo Qu frowned and said, "You want me to rescue Zhuge Changming? Forgive me, Zhuge Changming has no friendship with me, so I don't need to take risks to save him, not to mention that the ghost clan is tightly guarded, like Zhuge Changming. For such an important person as Changming, there must be many masters guarding him, no matter how arrogant I am, I don’t have the ability to save people from so many masters.”

He Xu shook his head, and said, "Second Master misunderstood, I naturally knew that it would be as difficult as climbing the sky to save Demon Lord, so I never thought about it."

Luo Qu asked suspiciously, "Then what do you want me to do?"

He Xu smiled and said, "I have already said in the letter to you that the Ghost Clan proposed to discuss matters in the capital of the Human Clan next month, and several sages of the Spirit Clan have already agreed."

Luo Qu asked: "Has the human race agreed?"

He Xu smiled, and said helplessly, "Emperor Ling has already agreed, and it doesn't matter whether the human race agrees or not."

Luo Qu looked solemn, and said: "It seems that the ghost race will definitely eat the human race this time."

After he finished speaking, he continued: "Your letter also said that the Ghost Tooth Army of the Ghost Clan's assassination mission is going to sneak into Shuanglong City. Who do you think their target is?"

He Xu stopped when he heard the words, looked at Luo Qu, and asked with a smile, "What does Second Master think?"

Luo Qu asked with doubts on his face, "Next month, the big figures of the three clans will gather in Shuanglong City, and at this time, the ghost clan is going to carry out an assassination mission. Could it be that they are targeting these people?"

After he finished speaking, he shook his head again, and said, "No, the saints of the Spirit Race are all top-notch masters, how could the assassins of the Ghost Race be their opponents."

He Xu didn't answer Luo Qu, and said, "No matter what, they can't be allowed to enter Shuanglong City, otherwise they will cause a catastrophe, and the ghost clan will bear the blame. This is why I asked the second master to help."

Luo Qu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I handed over your letter to Ling Shu, those people won't be able to enter Shuanglong City."
