Chapter 363 Open the door

Gu Lao enthusiastically took Xia Xuan into the mansion, and the servants brought tea to the water. The two of them greeted each other politely for a long time. Seeing that there were only Gu Lao and some servants in the ancient mansion, Xia Xuan looked at Gu Lao with some confusion.

"The adopted sons are not here. Now there are only daughter-in-law and two little girls in the mansion. There is also a demon king who can't talk." Gu Lao saw Xia Xuan's doubts and explained happily.

"It's a little guy who just had a full moon a few days ago?" Xia Xuan didn't react until he heard the words "The Demon King of the World". But suddenly he thought of Yuxiong's son.

"It's not that he still has that. He is almost making a fuss in the sky mansion. He either cries or laughs. Now anyone is afraid of him when he sees it. Even I dare not hold him for a long time, and I will spread all over you if I accidentally spit it." Speaking of Xiao Yuluo, Gu Lao kept talking like he was a few years old.

"It's time for Gu Lao to enjoy the blessing of the world." Xia Xuan praised Gu Lao a little, and he could see that Gu Lao was a master from the bottom of his heart.

"Who said no, but the little guy didn't have a meeting to talk now, which made people feel a little disappointed." Although Gu Lao said this, the smile on his face did not diminish at all.

"Mr. Gu, don't be too anxious. The little guy will be able to call him grandpa soon." Xia Xuan and Gu, chatting with Gu, Xiao Yuluo.

"Grandpa Gu, when will my brother come back?" Gu Lao and Xia Xuan were chatting happily, Duoduo came in from the door with a frustrated look on his face, but now when Xia was sitting in the hall, Duoduo turned around and went out before Gu Lao could answer her question.

"The little girl seems a little unhappy?" Xia Xuan said to Gu Lao as he looked at Duoduo's leaving figure.

"Donglai hasn't been back for a long time. The two little girls have to come and ask about it almost every day." Gu Lao sighed helplessly, and then said to Xia Xuan: "Lord Xia came here today to see me, the old man, right?" The situation in Luocheng is very serious now. Gu Lao doesn't think Xia Xuan has time to chat with him.

"The situation in Luocheng is also in love with Mr. Gu. As the city lord of Luocheng, I am responsible for all the affairs of Luocheng. But since the news of the demons' invasion of the Three Realms spread, the situation in Luocheng has become more and more serious day by day." Xia Xuan paused for a moment, looked at Gu Lao's reaction and then said: "Now there are more than 100,000 refugees outside Luocheng, including many royal families and immortal masters who fled Daqi. Now the burden on the younger generation is getting heavier and heavier every day." Xia Xuan stopped. He hoped Gu Lao could give him some advice, after all, he was not here to complain.

"I also understand the situation in Luocheng, but now my adopted sons are not around, and there are only a few children in the family. If the city lord wants us to help, I'm afraid we are really powerless." Gu Lao didn't quite understand what Xia Xuan meant, so he directly refused Xia Xuan.

"I have sent more than a dozen memorials to the Imperial City as the Lord of Luocheng. The Imperial City has done nothing except sending people to deliver a few batches of food and clothing." Xia Xuan did not stop because of his ancient refusal, but instead felt a little painful as if he was talking to himself. "If the demons invade the Three Realms, more than 100,000 refugees outside the city will be the first barrier to the entire Three Realms. You can imagine what their consequences will be." Xia Xuan stopped, and tiny beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, as if he had used a lot of effort to say these words.

"Please forgive me for saying that's true. Why didn't the city lord open the door and let them enter Luocheng?" Gu Lao looked at Xia Xuan in confusion and asked: "Originally, there were 80,000 people in Luocheng. The rest were either unable to walk or unable to leave Luocheng. For Luocheng, which used to be hundreds of thousands of people, it was not a problem to accept more than 100,000 refugees, right?"

"If you only accept more than 100,000 refugees, there is no problem. The food and clothing sent by the dynasty can last for about half a year. But——" Xia Xuan did not continue to say anything.

"Is it because of the royal family that fled the Great Qi Dynasty or because there were a few immortal-level masters among the refugees? Or maybe it was both." Gu Lao looked at Xia Xuan and continued without waiting for Xia Xuan to answer: "If you give up more than 100,000 refugees for these 100 people, I am not very good at calculating the calculations. Please ask Lord Xia to help me calculate!" Gu Lao looked at Xia Xuan meaningfully.

"Does Mr. Gu think these refugees should be sent to Luocheng?" Xia Xuan's eyes lit up.

"What does Lord Xia think?" Gu Lao looked at Xia Xuan and continued: "The time of the invasion of the demon clan is still uncertain, but the situation of the refugees is certain. If the demon clan does not invade the Three Realms for three or two years, then how many people will be left in these tens of thousands of refugees in three or two years? Have Lord Xia ever thought about these?" The ancient words became more and more pointed.

"But if we let refugees enter Luocheng, will there be greater trouble? If refugees explode, there is no possibility of suppressing the current military power of Luocheng?" Xia Xuan hesitated. He originally wanted to ask Gu Lao to help him think of a solution, but Gu Lao now kicked all the problems to him again.

"This is hard to say, but the most important thing in front of us is to let them survive this cold weather. As for other things, we can only take one step at a time." There is nothing we can do about the question raised by Xia Xuan.

"Or stay in this state now, right?" Xia Xuan looked at the ancient age carefully and continued: "The dynasty will have a huge amount of food and clothing delivered to Luocheng tomorrow. Even if the refugees are outside the city, they can safely spend this cold season." Xia Xuan really had no other way to think about it.

"What if the refugees explode outside the city, has City Lord Xia never thought about this problem?" asked the old man tentatively.

"The refugees have been gathering for a long time. If they were to explode, they probably wouldn't have waited until today, right?" Xia Xuan asked Gu Lao.

"That's because the situation has not become so bad that it cannot be suppressed. If the weather continues to be cold, I think it will be a while for the refugees to explode." Gu Lao looked at Xia Xuan and said calmly.

"According to ancient words, do we have to put refugees into Luocheng?" Although Xia Xuan was unhappy, he didn't want things to get worse.

"Before there is no other way, this may be the best way?" Gu Lao said affirmatively.

"If there is a special situation at that time and there are no people in the ancient mansion, I'm afraid it's." Xia Xuan looked at the ancient mansion with concern, and his meaning was very clear. If the refugees exploded, he would like to know what the ancient mansion should use to keep a low profile.

Gu Lao looked at Xia Xuan coldly, and suddenly, Xia Xuan's body was sweating constantly. After a while, Gu Lao withdrew his eyes and stopped staring at Xia Xuan, but picked up the teacup on the table to drink tea.
