Excalibur laughs

After hearing Luo Qu's words, Meng Yao got up and told everyone to pack up their belongings and prepare to leave.

Luo Qu was worried that people from Yi Jianghu and the ghost clan would be ambushing in front of him, so he patted his horse forward and walked in front of everyone, and all the people from the human race followed closely behind him.

In the dark place in the distance, Yi Jianghu and a few others stood on a boulder, watching Meng Yao and others slowly advance in the starry night, one of them said respectfully to Yi Jianghu: "Second Elder, do you want to do it?"

Yi Jianghu's face was stern, and he was silent for a while, clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth and said: "Luo Qu is inside, you and I are not his opponents, besides, this is already the boundary of Guyun City, it would not be good for us to use our hands .”

The man looked unwilling, and said anxiously: "Are you just letting them go like this? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once Meng Yao and Zhuge Changming enter Guyun City, then we really will never be able to take revenge again." gone."

Yi Jianghu pondered for a while, and ordered someone to say: "Hurry up and report to the Demon Lord in the clan, saying that Luo Qu has already intervened in this matter, and we don't have enough manpower, so we dare not confront Guyun City head-on, so please ask Demon Lord to bring troops to Guyun The city arrests people."

After the man took the order, he turned around and disappeared into the night. Yi Jianghu looked at the people in the distance, and said coldly: "Zhuge Changming, you can't run away. When the reinforcements from my ghost clan arrive, I see how Luo Qu can protect him." Stay with you."

Under the leadership of Luo Qu, the people of the human race walked in the direction of Guyun City safely, and it was already daylight when they arrived outside Guyun City.

Liang Tianlin had already led a large team from Guyun City to greet him outside the city. When he saw Luo Qu, he galloped over and applauded, "Second Brother, did anything happen on the way?"

Luo Qu smiled and said: "Nothing happened on the way, Zhuge Changting is not here, that old boy Yi Jianghu is greedy for life and afraid of death, he dare not fight with me."

After he finished speaking, he smiled and said to Meng Yao and the others: "Everyone, please go to the city to rest for a while, and after Luo has explained the affairs in the city, I will clean up the dust for you."

Meng Yao looked up at the words Guyun City on the city, and couldn't help but think of those cities of the human race, sighed silently, and followed Luo Qu into the city.

The people in the city heard that the Emperor had arrived in Guyun City, and they went out to look at Meng Yao one after another. Many people looked at Meng Yao and his party in amazement, and kept cheering.

Meng Yao didn't see the contempt or disdain in their eyes, she was really moved in her heart, and whispered to Luo Qu: "A lonely cloud, a fairyland of four clans, the rumors are true, the second master can let people of all clans put aside their grievances and live together , is really admirable.”

Luo Qu smiled, and replied: "Your Majesty, everyone has good thoughts in their hearts. As long as they put aside their differences, even if they are not of the same clan, they can become the same person. Luo just gave these people a place to live." It's just a place."

Everyone walked along the street, and soon arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. After driving all night, they were exhausted, so Luo Qu arranged for Meng Yao, Meng Zhang, Zhuge Changming, Yun Yun and others to stay in the City Lord's Mansion. The imperial army and guards are arranged to settle in post stations and inns outside the city lord's mansion.

Yun Yun couldn't wait to see Ling Chu. As soon as he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he asked where Ling Chu was. Luo Qu smiled at him and joked, "You've been tired for a long time, so you should take a good sleep first. Madam Ling is here In the mansion, I won’t run away anymore, the remaining days are very long, why should you be in such a hurry.”

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard the words, Yun Yun's face was slightly hot, so he blushed and nodded, walked to his room under the leadership of the servant, and fell asleep.

Luo Qu led Zhuge Changming and Meng Yao to a wing room, and said as he walked: "Brother Zhuge is seriously injured, if he doesn't get treated, he may be killed, so Luo specially hired a genius doctor to treat Brother Zhuge's wounds .”

Meng Yao was very grateful when she heard the words, and quickly thanked: "Meng Yao is already unable to repay the kindness of the second master for saving me, and Meng Yao is really ashamed of the second master for disturbing the second master."

Although Zhuge Changming had a feud with Luo Qu, he couldn't help being moved at the moment, and thanked him: "The second master's great kindness, I am afraid that Zhuge Changming will be able to repay in the next life."

Luo Qu smiled, led them into the room, let Zhuge Changming sit down, and said with a smile: "Although you have a bad temper, you can still be regarded as a tough man. Someone Luo admires you for daring to love for yourself." Those who abandon everything, as for repaying gratitude, there is no need to talk about it in the future, and I didn’t save you for the sake of repaying your favor.”

After he finished speaking, he looked outside the door with some vigilance, and said, "The miracle doctor will be here in a while, you two wait a moment."

Seeing that Luo Qu seemed to have something to say, Meng Yao whispered, "Second Lord, if you have something to say, just say it. Brother Yun is not by your side right now, so Second Master doesn't have to hide it."

Luo Qu sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty is indeed as insightful as a torch."

Meng Yao smiled and said, "You had something to say to Brother Yun last night, but you held back in the end. Just now you saw that the second master was restless, there must be something serious happening. If I guessed correctly, it must have something to do with Brother Yun. .”

Luo Qu smiled helplessly, nodded, looked at Zhuge Changming and said, "The night Brother Yun was rescued, He Xu came to Guyun City and talked to Brother Yun."

Zhuge Changming knew that the matter was not that simple, so he frowned and said, "Second Lord, do you know what they said?"

Luo Qu shook his head and said, "He Xu loves Brother Yun, so Luo can see it, how could he eavesdrop on her private conversation with Brother Yun?"

Meng Yao didn't quite understand the deep meaning of Luo Qu's words, and asked, "What does Second Master mean?"

Luo Qu said lightly: "He Xu saw Brother Yun's future from the ghost clan's soul mirror."

Zhuge Changming was shocked when he heard the words, and said, "The mirror for the soul? The last time the soul was illuminated was hundreds of years ago. How did the younger sister do it?"

Luo Qu shook his head and said, "She didn't mention the details, she only said that she saw Brother Yun's future in the soul mirror."

Zhuge Changming felt a little uneasy in his heart, and asked, "What did she see?"

Luo Qu hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed: "Brother Yun in the mirror died tragically in the ice and snow."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhuge Changming and Meng Yao, who looked horrified, and said, "And that girl He Xu said that the appearance of Brother Yun in the mirror is the same as that of Brother Yun today."

After Luo Qu finished speaking, he didn't finish. There was deathly silence in the room. Both Meng Yao and Zhuge Changming understood Luo Qu's meaning. As a result, it’s not far from today.”

After she finished speaking, she suddenly grabbed Zhuge Changming's hand, and asked anxiously: "Could the scene in the soul mirror be real?"

Zhuge Changming looked at the panic-stricken Meng Yao, and couldn't bear it, but he still sighed, turned his head away, so that Meng Yao could not see the sadness on his face, and said sadly: "The soul mirror is left by the gods for the ghost clan. Although there are very few people who can open it, the results of the soul-enlightening are all effective."

Luo Qu sighed after hearing this, and said: "He Xu saw the scene in the mirror, and Yun Yun had just escaped from the hands of the ghosts at that time, he planned to tell Yun the scene in the mirror, but I am afraid that Yun Yun will get into trouble after learning the secret. , then told me the news, and begged me to protect the cloud secretly."

He paused and said: "Afterwards, I traveled around and sneaked back to the Spirit Race, and invited the head of Xuanji Temple to make a divination for Yun Yun."

Meng Yao immediately asked, "What's the result?"

Luo Qu smiled wryly, and said: "The hexagrams of Daoist Xuanji show that luck in the cloud is rare in a hundred years, but misfortune and good fortune depend on each other. After great joy, there must be great sorrow, and after great fortune, there must be great calamity. Life is fixed, sad And the year of standing."

Meng Yao felt sad and said in a low voice: "He is only 22 years old, only eight years."

After she finished speaking, she asked again: "Does Lingchu know?"

Luo Qu shook his head and said, "Of course we won't let her know."

Meng Yao felt at ease when she heard the words, and said to Luo Qu, "Second Master, please keep this matter secret."

Luo Qu nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, apart from the three of us, only He Xu and Taoist Xuanji know about this matter."

Hearing this, Meng Yao said firmly: "Yunyun has a huge mission on his shoulders, nothing can happen to him, even if his life is destined, I will fight against the sky."

After she finished speaking, she thought of the current predicament again, and couldn't help laughing at herself: "I'm already in trouble, so how can I protect him?"

Luo Qu smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Your Majesty is worrying too much, there is someone Luo here, there is no need to worry about the safety of Yunyun."

Meng Yao smiled and asked, "Second Master already guessed Yun's identity, right?"

Luo Qu nodded with a smile, and said, "At first, I had some doubts, but after the news of what happened in the human palace hall today, I have no doubts."

Meng Yao smiled bitterly and said, "Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, I didn't expect the news to spread so fast."

Luo Qu hurriedly waved his hands and said: "This is not right. The appearance of the ninth Dragon Lord in the human race is a great good thing. How could it be a bad thing? However, Luo is also very curious. What kind of mystery is hidden in the words, so that His Majesty can be so secretive."

Meng Yao smiled lightly and said, "Second Master, please extend your hand."

Luo Qu was taken aback for a moment, then understood Meng Yao's intention, and stretched out his right hand.

Meng Yao lightly grabbed Luo Qu's right hand, and wrote two words on Luo Qu's hand stroke by stroke.

After writing the two words, Luo Qu, who has always been as stable as a mountain, was full of horror and panic. It took him a long time to regain his composure, but he still couldn't believe it, and asked Meng Yao, "Please forgive Luo for being rude. , these two words can’t be false, right?”

Meng Yao said helplessly: "This matter is no small matter, how dare Meng Yao tell lies."

Luo Qu nodded, and said in a deep voice, "How far he can go depends entirely on his good fortune."

After a while, several guards led a doctor to the outside of the house, Luo Qu explained some words to the doctor and then retreated.

At night, Luo Qu held a large banquet at the guest house in the city to clean up the dust for everyone in the human race.

The pair of iron hooks on Zhuge Changming's pipa bone had been removed. Although he was still very weak, his face looked much better. Everyone sang and danced, forgetting all the worries and anxieties of the day.

Seeing the smiles on everyone's faces, Meng Yao felt more sorrow in her heart. She knew that the scene in front of her was just the calm before the storm. Once the army of the ghost clan arrived, Guyun City would definitely not have the strength to fight against it.

Zhuge Changming saw a trace of worry in her eyebrows, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you, is there something on your mind?"

Meng Yao hurriedly smiled, and replied casually: "It's nothing, I just miss Ah Yue a little bit, I don't know how she is doing now."

Zhuge Changming forced a smile and said: "They should have just arrived in the territory of the Spirit Clan, and it may take more than ten days to reach the capital of the Spirit Clan. She will be fine with Sage Yanlong taking care of her."

Meng Yao didn't want Zhuge Changming to worry too much, so she smiled and turned to look at the cloud on the side.

Yunyun and Lingchu sat together, happily watching the singing and dancing crowd, and from time to time, they said a few love words to Lingchu, which made Lingchu blushed and scolded in a low voice.

In a blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed, and everyone in the human race has settled down in Guyun City, and there is no abnormality in Guyun City.

Luo Qu knew very well that ghost clansmen would seek vengeance, and would never let Zhuge Changming and Meng Yao escape, so he never dared to take it lightly, and sent the city's experts to patrol around outside the city every day, but still found no trace of ghost clan spies.

Until No. 16, Meng Hui rushed back from outside the city in a hurry. He set off to go to the ghost clan to inquire about the enemy seven days ago, and he did not expect to come back so soon.

Liang Tianlin picked him up at the gate of the city, obviously he didn't expect him to come back so soon, he hurriedly asked, "Why did you come back so soon, you haven't reached the ghost clan yet, right?"

Meng Hui panted heavily, dragged Liang Tianlin to the city lord's mansion, and said anxiously: "The big thing is wrong, second brother is in the city, right?"

Liang Tianlin nodded, and rushed to the City Lord's Mansion with him without further questioning.

Luo Qu was originally practicing swords in the courtyard, and when he saw Liang Tianlin and Meng Hui rushing back, he was taken aback for a moment, but after seeing the look on Meng Hui's face, he knew that the matter was not simple, so he hurriedly sent someone to call Meng Yao, Yun Yun and others to the lobby.

After everyone arrived, Meng Hui sighed, and said to everyone: "Seven days ago, I was ordered by my second brother to go to the ghost clan to find out information, but I ran into the ghost clan's army on the fifth day. I didn't dare to stay, so I rushed back day and night."

Luo Qu frowned slightly, and asked, "How many people are here?"

Meng Hui looked at the crowd and said, "There are a lot of people. After I caught a soldier and interrogated him, I said that there are at least 10 soldiers, and the leader is that old guy Yi Jianghu."

As soon as these words came out, everyone started to panic. The guards of Guyun City were only a few thousand, but this time the Ghost Clan brought over 10 people. Even if Luo Qu and the others were highly skilled in martial arts, they would definitely not be able to withstand the siege of so many people.

Luo Qu was quite calm, obviously expected this day would come, he thought for a moment, then asked: "Why didn't Zhuge Changting come?"

Meng Hui looked at Zhuge Changming, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said: "The little soldier said that Zhuge Changting was plotted against, and he was seriously injured, so he couldn't go out."
