I'm not a god of wine

Chapter 73 Conspiracy
These words made everyone roll their eyes.

Li Yanran raised her hand, gave her a slap in the face, and said dumbfoundingly: "When you go back to Jialing, why don't you take the women's exam? Besides, where do we live when we go back? The Chengshou Mansion is no longer Li's, what do you think?" Sleeping on the street is not okay? Thank you for thinking about it."

"He's just talking casually." Qiao'er covered her forehead and bit her lips in aggrieved way, tears streaming down her face.

"I think the mountain road can be walked."

Chang Wei looked at the map for a long time, and suddenly said: "Miss, Mr. Xu, Miss Liu, take a look."

He pointed to the mountain road on the map, looked at several people and said, "This mountain road is clearly marked, and the route is not too remote. It should be opened by businessmen to save time. Most of these roads are flat and wide, far away from bandits. The camp is on the outskirts of the mountain forest, and ferocious beasts rarely come and go, so it shouldn't be too dangerous."

Hearing what Chang Wei said, although Li Yanran was still worried, she could only nod her head and agree.

At this time, it seems that there is no other better choice.

"In that case, let's go." Xu Le rolled up the map, looked at everyone and said.

"Hey, is there any mistake? It's night now, shouldn't we hurry up and rest, and go on our way after dawn." Qiaoer said dissatisfied.

Xu Le glanced at her and said with a chuckle, "Oh, so you want to stay and sleep with these corpses?"

Only then did Qiaoer remember that there were seventy or eighty dead bodies on the ground.

At the thought of sleeping next to these corpses at night, Qiaoer's face turned pale, goosebumps appeared all over her body, and she subconsciously shook her head.

"Isn't it over?"

Xu Le rolled his eyes, didn't bother to pay attention to this stupid girl, turned around and walked towards his horse.

"Miss... am I really stupid?" Qiaoer was a little depressed by Xu Le's blow, and fell into self-doubt.

Hearing her words, Li Yanran couldn't help but chuckle, the moonlight reflected her smile like a hundred flowers blooming.

"Miss, what are you laughing at?" Qiaoer asked puzzled.

Li Yanran looked at her and said, "Laugh at some silly girl."

As she spoke, she pinched Qiaoer's cheek, turned around and walked towards her carriage.

Qiaoer stood there looking puzzled.

The team set off again, but this time, they turned around and walked back.

As Xu Le and the others left, two figures walked out of the forest.

If Xu Le was here, he would definitely recognize that these two were exactly the two guards of the Qin family who wanted to arrest him in front of the Xu residence that day.

One has a square face and the other has a thin face.

The guard of the Qin family with a square face, named Yan Jiang, is good at practicing kung fu, and is hard to hurt with a copper-skinned iron bone sword.

This person was originally from the army, but later quit the army, was recruited by the Qin family, and joined the Qin family's guards. His cultivation was at the beginning of the seventh rank.

As for the one with a thin face, his name is Wu Jiu.

People in the Jianghu are known as the old nine with iron hands, with superb iron claw skills. Later, for the sake of future, he chose to serve the Qin family and became the guard of the Qin family.

His cultivation base is at the middle stage of the seventh rank, which is slightly higher than that of Yan Jiang.

"I didn't expect that apart from that Chang Wei, there are also masters among them. Lao Jiu, you just saw that the woman's strength should have reached the middle stage of the seventh rank." Yan Jiang said solemnly.

"Yes."

Wu Jiu nodded, frowned and said, "Two seventh-rank masters, including a mid-seventh-rank woman, even if you and I join forces, we may not be able to win."

These two people have been secretly investigating the disappearance of Mr. Qin Xiang for the past few days, and they found some clues as expected.

There are various indications that Xu Le is the one who caused the young master's disappearance.

However, in Jialing City, Xu Le was regarded as the hero of the people in the city, and Li Tingyuan, the city guard, had a close relationship with the Xu family, so the two never dared to do anything.

It wasn't until Xu Le left the city that they bribed the nearby bandits to rob and kill Xu Le and the others. It would be best if they could kill Xu Le directly. In this way, they might carry Xu Le's head and return to Luoyang to atone for their sins. .

As for why they don't use the power of officials, it's not that they don't want to, but they can't use it.

For one thing, their identities are only guards, and they are not qualified to command the major government offices, and the iron order representing Prime Minister Qin has disappeared with the young master, and no one can prove that they are from the Qin Mansion.

Secondly, the young master went to Jiangnan ahead of schedule, but his unfortunate disappearance must not be made public.

Once this matter is revealed, in the court, Qin Xiang's deadly enemies, such as the right minister Bai Yannian, will definitely seize this point, impeach Qin Xiang to teach his son for nothing, and wantonly attack.

At that time, waiting for the fate of their two little guards will inevitably be wiped out.

Therefore, for them, the only way right now is to return to Luoyang with the head of Xu Le, the culprit, and plead guilty to Prime Minister Qin.

"It seems that our plan has to be changed."

Wu Jiu looked at the corpses all over the ground, and said, "They have already entered the mountain, and they will arrive in Yangzhou in five days at most. We must get Xu Le's head before they arrive in Yangzhou."

"What do you want to do?" Yan Jiang asked.

Wu Jiu sneered, and said: "When I was walking in the rivers and lakes, I rescued a sixth-rank expert. This person is now wanted by the town demon guards. It is said that he has hidden in this mountain range. If I ask him to help, I think he will agree. Do us this favor."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"On the anti-demon list, No. 940 and No. [-]." Wu Jiu licked his lips and sneered.

Yan Jiang's pupils shrank, and a look of fear appeared in his eyes.

There are [-] people on the list of demon guards in Dazhou Town, and all the people on the list are extremely vicious and do many evil things, and among them, the lowest cultivation level is also in the sixth-rank realm.

The only person who can be ranked No. 940 three is that person...

"Let's go, we have to hurry up." Wu Jiu walked forward first stepping on the corpses and blood all over the ground.

Yan Jiang took a deep breath, came back to his senses, and followed.

The figures of the two disappeared into the night.

Winding and rugged mountain road.

The two carriages were advancing slowly, one behind the other.

Xu Le and Chang Wei sat in front of their respective cars and became coachmen. The night was deep and silent, only the sound of horseshoes could be heard clearly in their ears.

Li Yanran fell asleep.

Qiao'er couldn't sleep, she poked her head out and looked around boredly, suddenly, she seemed to see something, she patted the window of the carriage, and yelled: "Stop, stop quickly."

"Wow." Chang Wei stopped the car and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"Why did you call to stop?" Xu Leyi got out of the car and walked over, frowning.

Li Yanran and Liu Qingqing were both woken up, and they all looked at her.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Qiaoer pointed to the distance and said, "Look, is there a house there?"

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed.

Sure enough, a dark silhouette could be vaguely seen in the distance, which indeed looked like a house.

"With a house, we will have a place to stay. I was the first to find it!" Qiao'er cheered, holding her head up, with an expression of complimenting me, complimenting me soon.

Xu Le and Chang Wei looked at each other. Chang Wei shook his head and said, "It's not surprising that there are houses in the mountains. Most of them are old abandoned villagers' houses or ruined temples. There shouldn't be any danger."

"Go and have a look." Xu Le nodded and made a decision.

The convoy moved on again.

After walking for about half an hour, I finally came to the house Qiaoer found.

As Chang Wei said, this is an abandoned temple.

"As the old saying goes, don't trespass when you're in a village, and don't enter a temple. Unless it's raining now, let's not..." Chang Wei said with a frown as he looked at the ruined temple in front of him.

Before he could finish speaking, a loud bang exploded.

A thunderbolt from the sky!
The next moment, drops of pea-sized rain fell down.

Xu Le looked up at the sky, and patted him on the shoulder: "Have you ever opened your mouth? It's all right now, if you don't go in, you won't be able to do it."

Chang Wei opened his mouth and smiled wryly.
