"The Wei family has a guard group hidden in the mountains." Wei Linqi said seriously.

"How many people are there in the escort team? Are they strong?"

Luo Xingchen did not underestimate the guard group in Wei Linqi's words, because judging from Wei Linqi's expression, this guard group was not simple.

"There are not many people, only about a thousand people, but they are well-equipped with armor, high-quality horses from Daliao, new firecrackers from Yajili in the West, and even wheeled artillery that can be driven

!" Wei Linqi said.

"How is that possible!" Luo Xingchen was shocked.

He could still believe in the armor and war horses, but how could the Wei family get the new muskets and wheeled artillery from Western Yajili?

Although this thousand-man team is not large in number, the equipment is so well-equipped, and the training must be high-intensity...

"It's true, Lord Admiral, you are also a general in the army. You should know the power of this firecracker and artillery. The new firecrackers are much stronger than the old firecrackers used by the imperial court. You can still use them in rainy days," Wei Linqi said.

"Sister Ziyan, haven't you received any news?" Luo Xingchen turned his head and looked at Ziyan.

"The hidden guards have received some information, but it is very vague. They only know that the Wei family is training soldiers and horses, but they don't know exactly how or where they are training," Zi Yan said.

Of course, hidden guards are not omnipotent. The Wei family's defense methods are too sophisticated, and hidden guards cannot penetrate.

"Does the Wei family want to rebel?"

Luo Xingchen couldn't understand. What was the purpose of the Wei family's deliberate efforts to train such a powerful army?

"Rebellion is unlikely. Although this thousand-man group is powerful, if you want to rely on it to fight against the imperial court, I'm afraid it won't be possible... I think the Wei family may want to protect themselves in case things change..." Wei Linqi

road.

"You are also a member of the Wei family. Do you know where the Wei family trains their troops?" Luo Xingchen asked.

"I am indeed a member of the Wei family, but my status is not high. You will never tell me such secrets of the Wei family. Now that I have severed all ties with the Wei family, I am no longer a Wei family member!" Wei Linqi said with a bitter smile.

Luo Xingchen nodded in agreement.

"No, it's not. The Wei family is not a good place. Brother Lin Qi, what are your plans in the future?"

"I have no other ideas. I just want to find a safe place with Runniang and live well. Admiral, what do you need to do? As long as you can help us get out of here and find a safe place to live."

Since there was an excellent opportunity in front of him, Wei Linqi would not let it go. He was not a pedantic person, otherwise, he would not have eaten the bowl of noodles given by Luo Xingchen in the noodle shop.

"I've already paid off your debt at the Lucky Pawn Shop... It's not difficult to find a safe place for you! But you have to cooperate with us."

"Okay, but can I make a request?"

"Speak directly if you have anything to say."

"Can you send Runniang away first? She is a woman and can't be of much help. I don't feel comfortable leaving her in Taian City," Wei Linqi said.

"You can send Runniang away in advance and send her to the capital. It will be safe. I will send capable sergeants to escort you." Luo Xingchen said seriously.

"As long as the Admiral can send Runniang away, I will work hard for you. From now on, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Wei Linqi stood up and bowed deeply.

Luo Xingchen and Zi Yan communicated with their eyes and decided to comply with Wei Linqi's request.

Afterwards, Luo Xingchen and three others waited in the lobby, while Wei Linqi entered the room to appease Runniang.

After Bi She took the tearful Run Niang and the old woman to take the first step, Luo Xingchen and Zi Yan left the courtyard with Wei Linqi.

"It's no longer safe here for you. Let's find a safe place." Luo Xingchen said.

"You can't stay in an inn. All the inns in the city have the eyes and ears of the Wei family."

Wei Linqi reminded.

"We don't stay in an inn." Luo Xingchen shook his head and smiled.

With Zi Yan by his side, the hidden guard system all over the country has already set up many footholds in big cities.

Naturally, there is no need to worry about the Wei family's eyes and ears when choosing a venue.

But Wei Linqi still didn't quite understand how terrifying the hidden guards were, and he followed Luo Xingchen and Zi Yan around the city uneasily.

It wasn't until he entered a manor that he said in shock: "Isn't this the shopkeeper Wang's house?"

The shopkeeper Wang he mentioned was a very famous jewelry merchant in Tai'an City. He once bought some gold and silver jewelry from Wang's shop.

"Shopkeeper Wang's house is a place for the hidden guards to stay," Luo Xingchen said.

Wei Linqi was surprised, and his original anxiety could not help but ease a bit.

"Don't worry. Although the Wei family is very powerful, we can protect you. And do you think the Wei family can compare with the imperial court? Are the soldiers he raises really invincible?" Luo Xingchen asked in return.

"The Wei family is naturally inferior to the imperial court." Wei Linqi nodded.

"Everything has been arranged. The soldiers of the Wei family are also going to deal with them. You should relax now and tell us everything you know. Don't hide it."

Now that he has made up his mind to follow Luo Xingchen and Zi Yan here, he has no possibility of retreating and can only walk in the dark.

Moreover, Runniang had already arranged to leave early, so he had no worries and had nothing to be afraid of.

If this is the case, then fight to the end.

After settling in, Luo Xingchen and Wei Linqi gathered together again in a secret room at Shopkeeper Wang's house.

Zi Yan left alone to arrange the next move.

Luo Xingchen needed to learn more about the situation from Wei Linqi.

"Now can you tell me who is protecting you?" Luo Xingchen asked straight to the point.

Wei Linqi hid it for a long time without saying anything, but at this moment, he had to say it.

"It's the Lin family who protects us," Wei Linqi said.

"Did you know that the shopkeeper of the Fortune Pawn Shop is from the Lin family?" Luo Xingchen said lightly.

"He, they are in the same group?" Wei Linqi said in shock again.

"Yes, you thought we used money to redeem Runniang for you, but that's not the case..."

"We took the money, but the shopkeeper wouldn't accept it. It was us who caught him unawares. After some interrogation, we finally found out the truth." Luo Xingchen narrowed his eyes.

"What does the Lin family want to do?" Wei Linqi believed Luo Xingchen's words. Luo Xingchen had no need to lie to him.

"You are a rare commodity. Of course the Lin family wants you to completely surrender to them. They use people from the fortune-telling pawn shop to give you credit and become your creditors. They are trying to find ways to force you. In the end, you have no choice but to surrender to them.

They." Luo Xingchen sneered.
