Chapter 154: Catching the Turtle in the Urn
In Qingfeng City, outside the gate of the city lord's mansion, a slightly fat middle-aged man bowed to Han Lin and others and said, "Everyone, I won't send it to you."
This middle-aged man is Li Xiao.
And in front of him, in addition to Han Lin, Bai Qing and Meng Yanfei were also there.
"Master Li invites you back!" Han Lin replied.
Then, the group of three turned around and left with frowns. After walking away, the three of them looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
Bai Qing said in a deep voice: "Brother Han, is what Li Xiao said true or false? Where did the Luo family hire a sixth-level general?"
On the side, Meng Yanfei also said, "There is that Luo Han. Although he is amazing in talent, he cannot break through to the sixth-level martial artist, right? When the Luo family started a war with the Zhao family, I heard that Luo Han was just a third-level martial artist!"
Han Lin remained silent, as if thinking about something.
Not long ago, they visited Li Xiao at the City Lord's Mansion to see why Li Xiao deliberately dragged them away from Qingfeng City even though he knew they were going to Duanshan City to seek revenge.
But after meeting, Li Xiao told them...
"Three brothers, we have known each other for many years and are friends. There is something that Li must remind you... Luo Han has already broken through to the sixth-level martial artist. When he was a third-level martial artist, he could kill Qi Kui, who was the third-level martial artist. What kind of strength will he have now broken through to the sixth-level martial artist?"
"Also, I received news that a powerful man from the Luo family from the realm of a sixth-level military general came. He seemed to be a distant relative of Luo Jian. He is now visiting the Luo family... You may be seeking death if you go there rashly at this time!"
"But don't worry, both City Lord Qin Xuan and City Lord Tan Hai have just passed away. Now both cities need stability. Xu Chongfeng doesn't want any major changes in the two cities, so... three don't have to worry that the Luo family will bring people to the door, and Xu Chongfeng will not allow it!"
These are Li Xiao’s original words.
Han Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Li Xiao is very cunning. He should not believe all his words, but he should not believe them... I will send someone to Duanshan City later to find out the news!"
"In addition, we are all preparing some highly poisonous... If the Luo family really has a sixth-level general, we can rely on it!"
A moment later, a Han family's patrol disciple appeared at the intersection and quickly came to Han Lin and the others.
"Clan leader, there is no movement in the military camp, as usual!"
The disciple said respectfully: "But there are some more eagle guards in the city gate... Apart from that, nothing unusual!"
There are more eagle guards at the city gate? Han Lin frowned: "What are those eagle guards doing?"
The disciple said, "I heard that he was checking the refugees who came to Qingfeng City."
"Do you check the refugees?" Han Lin nodded, but did not ask anything more.
On the other side, it is in the lord's mansion in Qingfeng City...
At this time, Li Xiao was holding a teacup and quietly savoring the tea.
On the table in front of him was a envelope and two letter papers.
The two letter papers were originally placed in the same envelope, one of which was written by Xu Gongfeng, and the other was written by Luo Han, and then Xu Gongfeng sent the Eagle Guard to him.
Li Xiao picked up Luo Han's letter, looked at it again, and exclaimed: "This young man is amazing! He can actually calculate that Han Lin and the other two will come to me? Even the words to deal with me were thought about for me in the letter!"
That's right, what Li Xiao said to Han Lin and others before was exactly what Luo Han prepared for him.
A moment later, an eagle guard came to Li Xiao and said respectfully: "Master, there is a girl named Buchihuo Wu who wants to see you."
Hum? Li Xiao suddenly stood up and shouted: "Here you come so soon? Let's notify you. Once you see the Luo family enter the city gate, you will close the city gates as soon as possible, and then mobilize the military camp to go to the three major families!"
"Remember! Some soldiers in the army are children from three major families. First, they will withdraw these people according to the roster!"
The Eagle Guard quickly agreed: "Yes!"
......
......
Time passed little by little, and a team of more than 20 people appeared outside the gate of Qingfeng City, and then rushed into the gate without stopping.
A few seconds later, an eagle guard who was in charge of guarding the city gate shouted loudly: "Close the city gate!"
"Woo!"
On the city wall, a soldier suddenly blew a trumpet, and the sound spread, reaching several other gates in Qingfeng City from afar.
Then, the city gates closed, blocking those who were about to enter the city and also blocking those who were about to leave the city.
Han family, in a yard...
Han Lin roared with a ferocious expression, and slapped the stone table beside him to pieces: "What did you say? The disciples who were placed in the military camp of our Han family were drawn out?"
In front of him, a disciple of the Han family stood, who was already scared and trembled: "Yes, the leader of the clan! And not only our family, but even the disciples who were stationed in the army of the Bai family and the Meng family were transferred away... When I came back, the army in the military camp had already begun to gather, and I'm afraid there would be some action!"
Han Lin gritted his teeth, had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly said: "I'll inform Bai Qing and Meng Yanfei quickly...!"
"Yes!" The disciple quickly turned around and left.
But just before he left, another Han family disciple ran over: "Clan leader, it's not good... Luo Jian, Luo Yuntian and others came to Qingfeng City, and when they came, there were Eagle Guards from Duanshan City followed!"
"As they entered the city, the city gates suddenly closed...and then, the eagle guards guarding the city gate actually took out many notices and posted them at the city gate."
boom!
When the disciple said the first sentence, Han Lin's face turned pale. When he heard the last sentence, his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly. At the same time, countless pictures flashed through his mind, and another line connected the pictures forward and backward.
"Okay, it's so good... Let Li Xiao drag the people from our three major families to Qingfeng City and then give us a jar to catch turtles? What a great plan!"
"That Li Xiao is not a son. He has collected so much money on weekdays and even sold us? He is simply eating people and not spitting out bones!"
Han Lin took a deep breath and asked, "What is it written on the notice?"
The disciple swallowed: "It says that the three major families in Qingfeng City hoarded food and grass, raised the price of grain, caused the refugees from Qiongshan to starve to death, and the national crisis was in danger, and they were even more willing to be rebellious. The crime... should be punished!"
Han Lin's eyes flashed with cold light, and there was deep hatred.
At this moment, he understood that he, Meng Yanfei and others were plotted against each other from beginning to end.
"Extermination of the clan... Luo family and Li Xiao, this is to exterminate our three major clans!"
"And that Xu Gongfeng is probably also involved... The sixth-level general Li Xiao mentioned may be him!"
Chapter completed!
