In the Zhuang's house, at this time, the head of the Zhuang's family, whom they regarded as a great landowner, was kneeling in front of someone.
This person is none other than Changsun Wuji, who fled all the way here.
This place was one of Changsun Wuji's three caves, and it was also the closest secret stronghold to Chang'an City, so it was naturally his first place to stay.
After all, he and the others have been running away for three days. In these three days, they have almost changed horses without changing people, in order to get rid of the pursuers and not be overtaken by the royal family's offerings. If they catch up, the royal family will The strength of the worshipers will definitely hold them back. Once they are held back, it will be extremely difficult for them to escape.
"Is everything normal here?" Changsun Wuji looked at the head of the banker kneeling in front of him and asked.
Hearing Changsun Wuji's inquiry, Zhuang Buping, the head of the Zhuang family, trembled with excitement and said: "Everything is normal here. Some of the people are my people. They are monitoring the surroundings at all times. Other people are also under surveillance. The news of your arrival is It will never be spread, sir, don’t worry!”
"Well, you did a good job and lived up to my expectations!" Changsun Wuji nodded in approval. Of course, this was just a casual comment. How could he have the heart to praise others now.
But for Zhuang Buping, these words were like the sound of nature. The Lord actually said that he had done a good job. Then wouldn't he have the opportunity to leave here and join the court and work as an official?
If Zhuang Buping knew that Changsun Wuji was fleeing here, he probably wouldn't think so.
Of course, Zhuang Buping would know about this, after all, it couldn't be hidden.
"This is what I should do!" Zhuang Buping replied excitedly.
"Okay, go and monitor those people closely, and you must not leak any information!" Changsun Wuji warned.
"Yes, sir, I promise to complete the task!" Zhuang Buping stood up and replied excitedly.
Looking at Zhuang Buping leaving, Changsun Wuji looked at the great elder and said, "Is there still no news about Mr. Ma?"
"No, I already sent people to investigate along the road when I entered the village. If Mr. Ma escapes from the pursuers, he should be able to see the codes we left along the road. But they haven't come yet. I'm worried..." The great elder said this but stopped, unable to hide the worry on his face.
"Probably not. With Mr. Ma's strength, it shouldn't be a problem to get rid of the elder of the royal family. As for the others, it's hard to say." Changsun Wuji shook his head.
"Master, have you forgotten about Sato? I'm not worried about the royal elder."
These words made Changsun Wuji slightly stunned, and his heart sank. Until now, he still couldn't figure out how Sato disappeared for no reason. The only explanation was that he was killed by the innate people.
Only that kind of person can kill people at the ninth level of the True Yuan Realm silently. Even if several people at the ninth level of the True Yuan Realm surround one person, there is no way there will be no traces of a fight as the Great Elder said.
Is it possible that there is such a person behind Li Shimin? And such a person would meddle in the world? Isn't he afraid of being attacked?
For a moment, the Great Elder and Changsun Wuji fell silent.
After a long time, Changsun Wuji finally said: "Let me rest quickly. We will wait here for a day. If Mr. Ma still hasn't come after one day, we don't have to wait any longer. We will continue to march to Shuzhong, hoping to receive my message." , it’s time for them to take action, by the time we get to Shuzhong, Shuzhong should already be under the control of our people!"
"Yes, Patriarch, I will make arrangements right away!" The elder bowed down to make arrangements, leaving Changsun Wuji alone to sit there and meditate.
In Luoyang City, in the wilderness a hundred miles away, a group of people were sitting on the ground, eating and resting.
The current situation of this team is not very good, almost everyone is wearing it, and the expressions on their faces are ugly.
It was only when they saw the old man sitting in the middle that everyone's expressions improved.
These people were none other than Mr. Ma, whom Changsun Wuji was worried about. They fought with the royal ministers for a day before getting rid of them and escaping here. They were really exhausted and had to choose this place to rest.
In this battle, there were more than 20 of them, and only about a dozen of them were left. More than ten people died in the battle. It was not a tragic battle, but for Mr. Ma who finally showed his power and forced the elder of the royal family to retreat, thereby saving the family. Many people are afraid that fewer people will be able to sit here now.
"Mr. Ma, according to Master Changsun's mark, they should be heading towards Hongnong. When do you think we will set off?" A subordinate walked in and asked in a low voice.
