根据信的内容,可以推断出这位宁王相当不安分,已经控制了青崖县长楼之仙.他之所以选择青雅县,并不是因为楼之仙特别特别,而是因为青雅县有矿山!
信中没有提到具体的地雷类型,但很明显,这个"地雷"的价值极高——高到宁亲王已经派出大批高手前来夺取该地区.早些时候被陈洛杀害的太监魏公公,是宁亲王的贴身仆人,是专门来办这件事的.
"那个死去的太监竟然还想把自己伪装成皇宫里的人."
陈洛在心里骂了一声,继续翻阅着那些信.
除了魏公公一行人之外,宁亲王还与一位来自西南的武将结盟.这个人就是之前娄县长提到的同一个人——那个野蛮的范将军,他正在给别人送去'乞讨钱财'.其余的内容大多是交易记录,比如支付的贡品和寄过来的货物.
陈洛只看了一眼最后一个字母,就跳过了.
"什么样的矿井这么值钱,这些人才会这么鲁莽地行事?"
他翻阅了最后一封信,但没有找到他想要的信息.
就在这时,外面传来了微弱的声音.县长 Lou 早些时候点的夜宵似乎已经准备好了.
"算了,我们先去找何师姐."
陈洛吹灭了桌上的蜡烛,从自己在窗户上挖的洞里迅速跳了出来.
片刻后,一声刺耳的惨叫声从楼县长所在的小院里回荡.
离开楼县长的院子后,陈洛立即改变方向,朝着最后一股浓烈气场的位置而去.由于娄县长所在的地区已经没有人了,这是唯一剩下的地方.凭借他的三级修为,这座庄园的高手就像黑夜中的萤火虫——极为引人注目.
穿过三道院墙后,陈洛放慢了脚步.
这里的院落,甚至比楼县长所住的暖秋阁还要豪华.不仅庭院更大,而且建筑风格也更加精致.院子里,火把炽热地燃烧着,照亮了每一个角落,没有阴暗的斑点.
每隔几米,就有一名身穿盔甲的士兵站岗.与其他地方相比,这个地区确实防御严密.
陈洛躲在屋檐后面,远处观察着院子里的动静.
在院子中央的石桌旁,一个魁梧的男人坐着,仔细研究着一本用黄布包裹的书.离他不远处,何诗梅和几个年轻女子被绑在一边,像猪一样动弹不得.
从他们的外表来看,他们似乎没有受到伤害,但他们看起来确实有点奇怪.
"为什么我不能成功?我显然每一步都做对了.
魁梧的男人全神贯注于书中,仿佛遇到了什么难题.
难怪他早点没有注意到罗县长家的骚动.以他现在的状态,只要没人冲过来,他就不会太在意其他任何事情.
这一定是那个范将军吧?
陈洛并没有急于行动.相反,他仔细观察了这个男人.
这位范将军的实力,可不是小事.虽然他没有达到第三境界,但从他身上散发出来的气息,远超一般武者.军人战士的气质与流浪者的气质完全不同.如果真要杀他,陈洛肯定会带走他的大脑.
"危险,低下头!"
就在陈洛还在琢磨如何出手的时候,皇室大脑中突然涌现出一股意识.他的脑海中闪过一个命令.下一刻,他的身体没有多想,低下了头,以一个不可能的角度了.
砰!!
一支黑色的袖箭从他的脸颊飞过,箭尖砰的一声击中了地面的瓦片墙,将自己深深地嵌入了地面.箭的剩余一半在后面微微颤抖,无声地证明了刚刚过去的危险.
陈洛感到一股寒意突然顺着脊椎流下.
'发现?'
'什么时候!?'
An unprecedented sense of danger surged in his heart. If he had been even half a beat slower or hesitated for a moment, that sleeve arrow would have certainly struck his forehead, piercing through his brain.
"Eh?"
A sudden voice rang out. Following the sound, he saw that the burly man, who had been sitting in the courtyard reading, had somehow made his way to the rooftop.
The cuffs of his sleeves glimmered with a cold light. The sleeve arrow from earlier had been shot by him.
In the martial world, besides blades, swords, spears, and halberds, hidden weapons and poison were the most deadly tools for killing.
"Nice reflexes."
General Fan reached up and lightly touched the hidden weapon in his sleeve, offering a simple comment.
At that moment, the soldiers below had surrounded the rooftop. A large group of archers drew their bows, aiming at the spot where Chen Luo had previously dodged, unleashing a storm of arrows.
Thud thud thud.
Another round of arrows rained down.
There was no unnecessary chatter. This Fan, unlike the villains in TV dramas, didn't speak much. Clearly, he had already gained the upper hand, yet shamelessly called for reinforcements, showing none of the grace of a true expert.
"That was careless."
Inside the building below, Chen Luo's face darkened.
When he rolled earlier, it wasn't blind evasion; rather, it was a reflex based on the royal brain's instincts, grabbing onto the window beside him as he rolled in. For a moment, he truly felt like he was going to die.
The feeling of invincibility that came with his recent breakthrough in cultivation instantly vanished.
While these people were indeed no match for him in a one-on-one fight, they weren't even trying to engage him in martial arts. Instead, they had resorted to a tactic of overwhelming him with sheer numbers and ranged attacks. In this situation, even if he had a hundred percent of his strength, it would be hard to fully unleash it with his movements exposed.
In the end, it all came down to martial arts—being careless could lead to death.
After calming his mind, Chen Luo began to analyze his current situation.
There were at least fifty people surrounding this area, and the number of hidden enemies was even greater, impossible to confirm. On top of that, there was the unpredictable General Fan. Trying to rescue anyone in this situation was akin to climbing to the heavens.
The only option was to break out, escape the encirclement, and then come back to strike.
Assassination was the best strategy!
But after thinking for a moment, a plan appeared in Chen Luo's mind.
Now, all of the over a hundred brains inside him were activated, and his thoughts became exceptionally clear. There was not the slightest impulse to attack the enemy where he was weakest and he himself was weakest.
Boom!!
Before Chen Luo could even move, the door outside was suddenly smashed open.
'Left side, there's a partition wall at the corner of the house, the arrows can't reach.'
A brain, who seemed skilled in escaping, gave this feedback. This brain was clearly very proficient at fleeing, and its thoughts were so fast that even the royal brain couldn't keep up.
Without time to think further, Chen Luo immediately rolled over, grabbing a nearby bench in the process.
Bang!!
Several more arrows were pinned into the bench, their cold tips visibly piercing through the wooden surface.
Luckily, Chen Luo had managed to reach the corner of the wall in time, and the arrow storm could no longer pose a threat to him.
"Stop!"
Once again, the voice of General Fan came from outside. He had realized that shooting at Chen Luo like this wouldn't kill him.
"You two, go in and check, take him alive!"
General Fan stood at the door, showing no intention of stepping inside. It was a habit of those in high positions to avoid dangerous situations. General Fan was clearly a competent figure in power.
Upon hearing the order, two soldiers immediately drew their sabers and cautiously stepped inside, staying close to the door.
