Those years when I hunted demons in Dali Temple

Chapter 838 Xiaotong Er

Elder Xu smiled and said: "As long as you follow me, I guarantee you endless glory."

Xiaotong kept the mission arranged by Wang Xuanzhi in mind, but the mysterious man in front of him gave him a very dangerous feeling.

He had a hunch that if he didn't agree to the other party's request, he would most likely be unable to leave here.

Xiaotong's lowered head suddenly raised, and he looked at Elder Xu with grateful eyes, "Okay, I'll follow you!"

When he was in exile, Erlangjun deliberately extended the period of punishment. He knew that Erlangjun must have a deeper intention, so he accepted the punishment as expected. As expected, Erlangjun came to see him at night.

Speak out the rumors in Beijing.

They checked the rumors and tracked them to Pu County, only to find Wang Rong's cold body.

According to Erlangjun, before Wang Rong arrived in Chang'an, his departure direction was to the south of the capital.

If you follow this clue, you will definitely gain something.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of being exiled, he planned to investigate all the way to Lingnan.

However, I didn't expect that a person would chase him desperately.

He never expected that a very dangerous person would appear and save him.

Originally, Xiaotong wanted to refuse to obey, but then she thought about it.

Wang Rong could spread rumors in the capital and escape unscathed. It was absolutely impossible for him to do it on his own. What's more, his being silenced was enough to prove that there was someone behind it.

Now, he is halfway to Lingnan.

Meeting two such powerful people, it was difficult for him not to connect these people together.

Xiaotong decided to take a gamble. If he lost, it would not be too late for him to regret and leave.

He was lucky because he made the right bet.

The person who brought him here was named Elder Xu, and he was followed by many people.

When he was taken to a mountain, the people who came to greet them were respectful, and when they walked, they looked somewhat similar to the two men of the Chen family.

There is a private army in Lingnan!

As soon as this idea came out, it sprouted and took root in his mind like a weed.

A serious army would never be sneaky.

They took advantage of the miasma in Lingnan and hid in the mountains.

However, when Xiaotong followed Elder Xu in, he discovered that it was not what he had imagined. There were a large number of private troops inside.

There are more ordinary people who are guarded by those private armies.

They were ragged and unkempt.

Constantly going in and out of the cave.

They mined the mines privately.

A private army of nearly a hundred people uses ordinary people to mine.

Xiaotong was shocked and confused.

If it is imperial mining, there are clear regulations.

You wouldn't hide and tease someone like this.

The same hard work and loss of life will be compensated accordingly by the court.

Even if the court's laws are not perfect, there is at least a guarantee.

The people here are dead and there is not even a mound.

Their bodies will be dragged to various places.

As for where to go, Xiaotong didn't know.

Because he was digging in a dark cave.

If this continues, let alone figuring out the power behind Wang Rong, he himself will be trapped in the mines day and night.

Xiaotong began to observe the people in the mine, mainly the people who supervised them.

In the beginning, he was a soldier. He would always find an opportunity to steal a little bit from the mine and give it to the soldier.

He coaxed them to smile, and he never thought of escaping, making the soldiers more relaxed about his supervision. Then, he took Xiaobing's climb to the top and went up again.

His life in the mountains began to get better.

Because he is eloquent and can help several bosses to seek benefits without being discovered by the superiors, even when he eats, he is called by several bosses to join him.

The world in Xiaotong suddenly became much brighter.

He can reach more people.

From the mouths of these people, he also knew that the mine they dug was not for the court, but for a mysterious organization. As for what that organization wanted to do, he had no idea. It was not that he didn't want to ask, but that no one could answer.

Limited freedom allows him to find various opportunities.

Following the purchase, he went down the mountain and took the opportunity to send a message back to the capital to Wang Xuanzhi.

It was just an ordinary homing pigeon at the beginning. Unless there was important news, the two people would not communicate easily.

Xiaotong never found out the whereabouts of the ore, and was not sure whether Wang Rong had anything to do with them.

But he trusted his instincts.

He secretly spread rumors that were unfavorable to the court and secretly mined the court's mines.

These two things may seem unrelated, but they both reveal the same message.

The hearts of these two groups of people are at odds with the imperial court.

The mine seemed loose, but in fact it was rigorous. After some ins and outs, he discovered that most of the people inside were brought in through unfair means, and only a few sold themselves for their families.

They thought they were just going to a place to work, but they never expected that they would never get out again.

Many people wanted to escape, but in the end, even the bodies couldn't get out.

Xiaotong doesn't plan to escape. He wants to find out everything. When the time comes, Erlangjun will bring people to arrest those who need to be arrested and save those who need to be rescued. As for the mine, someone from the court will take care of it.

There was nothing he could do about the dead miners.

Xiaotong sometimes wonders late at night, will the presence of the little Taoist priest who can catch monsters help these people's souls rest in peace?

Daoyi's consciousness was silent for a moment. She wanted to tell Xiaotong that you are only a half-grown child.

No one responded to Xiaotong's thoughts, and time passed by.

The smile on his face became less and less.

But when he saw Shi Yang doing business at the foot of the mountain, the gloom in his heart was cleared away.

Erlangjun has always been concerned about his safety and tried his best to arrange for people to pick him up.

Shi Yang didn't know his existence, but he knew him.

His fault was always only one. He didn't know whether Xi Niang was alive or dead, so he defaulted to Lin Xiaojia to bury her. His exile was his punishment. He didn't have to take responsibility for the wrong things done by others, but he could prevent them from happening. .

There are no years in the mountains. Xiaotong can't remember how long he has been in the mountains.

Later, another little bird flew to see him from time to time.

That little bird spoke to him one night while everyone was sleeping.

Xiaotong will always remember his embarrassed look, "Xiao Bifang, are you the one who came to find me?"

The little bird's neck twisted, "I'm so sorry, I'm not the mythical beast you mentioned, little Bifang."

As it spoke, it revealed its true face. It looked like a chicken, but had a human face on its head.

Xiaotong fainted without any hope, and was woken up by the opponent's big wings.

Xiaotong: No one would believe him. He just got slapped in the face by a chicken.

"Sorry, I only know one little bird that can speak human language, little Bifang. By the way, what kind of mythical beast are you and why are you here for me?" Xiaotong's eyes were shining, and there was a guess in his heart.

Sure enough, Xiaoniao was very arrogant, "My name is Fu Xi, and I am a man named Wang Xuanzhi. I was asked to come to you to atone for my sins."

Xiaotong is doubtful. He believes that Erlangjun will not give up on him, but the person Erlangjun found, oh no, monster, is his brain so hard to use?

Wang Xuanzhi's letter arrived again.

Xiaotong believed it, it turned out that there really was a monster with a bad mind.

He could only start looking for clues and raising little white chickens, oh, little white birds.

Until, a woman, well, a banshee appeared to break this situation.

Thank you Xiaogui for your monthly ticket, okay~
