After a while, as the noose swayed, the secret passage door creaked and creaked.
People pushed a long line of more than a hundred cars and walked out.
Ming Lanruo squinted her eyes, and the light of the morning glow and the clear air of the forest came rushing in.
She squinted her eyes comfortably.
Chen Ning suddenly walked over and said in a low voice: "Sir, Magistrate Tang asked someone to send a message that we will enter the stronghold soon. Be careful and don't talk casually."
Ming Lanruo and Qiao Yan looked at each other and knew what Magistrate Tang meant——
Their accent is different from the locals.
Not long after, the convoy started moving again and headed up the mountain.
Along the way, Ming Lanruo discovered that Qiao Yan had been carefully observing the various terrains in the mountains he passed.
"What, what's the problem?" she asked quietly in a low voice.
Qiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly: "The mountains and forests here are not natural. Just like on the island in the middle of the lake, many are planted in the direction of Qimen Dunjia."
If there is no one to guide you, it is easy to get lost here, just like encountering a "ghost hitting the wall" and never getting out.
In order to please Emperor Ming, he refined elixirs and cultivated formations, and studied Taoist metaphysics deeply. It is said that Qimen Dunjia was founded by Feng Hou, Prime Minister of Huangdi.
"If I'm not wrong, there is a capable person in Gujiazhai who is good at military formations. He arranged the formations on the island in the center of the lake and here. It's a pity that such a person has turned into a bandit."
Qiao Yan said calmly, seeming a little regretful.
Ming Lanruo's eyes flashed with an icy look, but what she was thinking in her heart was - indeed, none of the former senior officials of the Red Blood Legion can be retained.
Don't be afraid of stupid people doing evil, just be afraid of capable people doing evil.
This kind of master has lost his conscience and brought trouble to the world, and the harm is far greater than that of ordinary people.
My father and the others suddenly disappeared at that time, fearing that they might have stepped into the formation trap set by the master!
After climbing the mountain road for about an hour, they finally arrived at Gujiazhai!
Ming Lanruo looked at the huge city fortifications made of towering boulders and century-old logs. She was shocked and... felt bad all over!
I originally thought that the mansion of Magistrate Tang was already very grand, until now I saw Gujiazhai!
She and Chen Ning looked at each other and saw a complex light in each other's eyes——
What kind of cottage is this? This is clearly a giant fortress mountain city built on the mountain!
After all, Gujiazhai is from the Red Blood Legion!
They escorted hundreds of cars to file in. Ming Lanruo watched with surprise and mixed emotions.
The city is very orderly, there is even a market, men and women perform their duties, and there are many strong men on armed patrols, or armed soldiers on patrols.
Because they even wore uniform blue thin cotton shirts and armor, and they looked like soldiers in an armed fortress.
Militarized management is very thorough.
Ming Lanruo was in a daze, as if she could vaguely glimpse what the Red Blood Army was like in its heyday.
With mixed feelings in her heart, she lowered her eyes and quietly followed the people escorting the grain, grass, gold and silver to the warehouse.
Chen Ning also followed his previous plan and silently wrote down the terrain he saw.
Qiao Yan looked at everything calmly, even with some interest.
After arriving at the warehouse and starting to unload the goods, someone immediately came out to greet Magistrate Tang.
"Uncle Tang, my father heard that you personally escorted the things here this time, so he specially arranged a banquet today. My nephews are here to invite you to the table!"
A slightly rough male voice sounded.
Ming Lanruo stood not far away, pretending to help unload the goods, and when she glanced quietly, she saw two tall men and people coming out to greet Magistrate Tang in person.
