Xu Ranran's sudden trip to the inner city made Shen Muzhi think of Long Yi.

Long Yi is so fearless today, but at this time, Xu Ranran went to the inner city, it is not impossible to say that this matter is a coincidence, but there are many suspicious points, which always makes people feel uneasy.

Shen Muzhi inquired around Xu's house, but didn't find anything.

Only an old man sitting on the side of the street basking in the sun said that several men went to Xu's house in the morning and stayed for a long time. However, the old man didn't know anything about the origin of those men and what they did when they went to Xu's house.

After Shen Muzhi thought about it, he spent money to buy a few strings of sugar gourds, and coaxed a few children to go to Xu's house to lure Xu Ranran's younger brother out.

The little guy wasn't very old, but he wasn't stupid either. Following the children laughing and running into the alley, after seeing Shen Mu standing not far away, the sugar gourd in his mouth immediately became unfragrant, and he turned around and wanted to run.

Shen Muzhi's figure flickered, and he came to him, and grabbed the little guy's collar and lifted it up in the stunned eyes of the children.

The other children scattered in a hurry.

Shen Muzhi stretched out his hand to the little guy's chest, blocked the shouting that was about to exit in his throat, and then flashed into a deserted courtyard next to him.

"I'm not going to do anything to you, I'm just going to ask you a few questions. Shen Muyi said as he put it down.

The little one's face was full of horror, his legs trembled, and he was a little unsteady on his feet.

The string of sugar gourds that I had held in my hand before had long since disappeared.

In the past, I saw that Xuan Cheng and the children in Anqing Lane could always get along well, and I thought it was very simple. Now it seems that this kind of thing is also divided into people. And he, since he was a child, couldn't play with those children, let alone now.

After Shen Muzhi secretly laughed bitterly, in desperation, he had to lift him again, climbed on the wall, and entered the Xu family in a few leaps.

The widow of the Xu family was tending to the chickens and ducks in the courtyard, and when she heard the deliberate movement made by Shen Muzhi when she landed, she looked up and saw that the man who came to knock on the door before was holding her son, and she was immediately anxious and panicked, and as soon as she threw the thing in her hand, she rushed out and roared towards Shen Muzhi: "You let go of my son!"

Shen Muyi waved his hand, raised his big sleeves, rolled out a strong wind, and swept the widow of the Xu family back.

The widow of the Xu family fell to the ground with a thud, and looked at the man standing there like a demon in a daze, and she didn't have the courage to rush up for a while.

"As long as you answer my questions truthfully, I promise not to hurt you!" After Shen Muzhi said indifferently, he put down the little guy he was holding in his hand, and spit out secretly in his hand, and the little guy suddenly opened his mouth and cried: "Mother, save me ......"

As soon as the words started, they immediately stopped abruptly.

The widow of the Xu family knelt on the ground, looked at her son, and then looked at Shen Muzhi, frightened and helpless.

"You ask, I promise to answer truthfully!" replied the widow of the Xu family in a trembling voice.

Shen Muzhi stared at her coldly, watching her tears burst on her face, and then asked in a deep voice, "Where did your daughter go?"

"I'm going to the inner city! I didn't lie to you! She's really going to the inner city!" the widow of the Xu family cried and cried, and at the same time wanted to climb forward and get close to the child who was held in Shen Muzhi's hands, kept struggling, and was so frightened that her face turned white.

Seeing this, Shen Muzhi snorted. The widow of the Xu family trembled, and immediately shrank back.

"What is she going to do in the inner city?" Shen Muzhi asked again, "If I'm not mistaken, your Xu family has no relatives in the inner city, right?"

"The son of a family in the inner city took a fancy to her, and called for her to be taken into the house to be a maidservant. The more the widow of the Xu family spoke, the quieter her voice became, and in the end, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Shen Muzhi.

Shen Muzhi didn't bother to delve into the cover-ups in her words, and only asked him, "Which family?"

The widow of the Xu family lowered her head and replied, "I don't know." ”

Shen Muzhi's current state of mind rarely fluctuates, and when he heard this at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a trace of anger: "You don't know which family dares to let people take people away?"

"They gave five hundred taels of silver!" the voice of the widow of the Xu family was as low as a mosquito fly.

When Shen Muzhi heard this, he knew that there was nothing to ask about this widow. After staring at her in silence for a moment, he threw the little boy in his hand at the widow.

When the widow saw this, she hurriedly opened her hand to catch it.

In order to avoid the injury of the child, the widow put her whole body underneath, and the child fell into her bosom and slapped her to the ground so hard that the pain must have been severe.

The same mother, on the one hand, sold her daughter like a commodity for five hundred taels of silver, without even asking what the buyer was, but at the same time she did not hesitate to suffer herself in order to keep the child from being hurt.

People, how can they be so contradictory.

"Who took her away?" Shen Muzhi coldly stared at the mother and son who were hugging each other tightly, and then asked.

The widow of the Xu family did not raise her head, and while nervously checking whether the little boy was injured, she replied perfunctorily: "I don't know." ”

Shen Muzhi frowned, tried to restrain the anger in his heart, and asked again: "You should always know what it looks like, right?"

The widow of the Xu family probably saw that there were no injuries on the little boy's body, and she was slightly relieved, so she raised her head, looked at Shen Muzhi in panic, and replied: "Those three people are all bearded, five big and three thick, not like ordinary people. ”

Three people, beards.

After Shen Muzhi listened, he didn't ask any more questions, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Behind him, the little boy's cry finally rang out, tearing his heart.

Shen Muzhi ignored the surprised glances from the people nearby, and rushed straight to the Lilac Workshop.

On the second floor of Lilac Fang, the box they had set up before was empty. Xuan Cheng hasn't arrived yet. As soon as Shen Muzhi entered, he saw that there seemed to be a piece of paper pressed under the teapot on the table.

Shen Muzhi took it out and opened it to take a look, and it said: You go to Yahu outside the city to wait for me first.

It's Xuan Cheng's handwriting.

Shen Muzhi frowned and pondered for a while, then got up and called Xiao Er up.

"Did anyone come in this room just now?" asked Shen Muzhi.

Xiao Er hurriedly waved his hand: "Absolutely no one has ever come in." ”

After hearing this, Shen Muzhi groaned for a while, and then asked, "Did someone come here to inquire about us just now?"

"Nope. Xiao Er waved his hand again.

Seeing this, Shen Muzhi let Xiao Er go down first. He pinched the note and thought for a moment, then got up and left the Lilac Workshop. After walking for a while along the crowded Nanzhi Street, and after making sure that no one was paying attention around, a monster turned into a deserted side street, and then turned around for a while and walked into an uninhabited alley.

A moment later, when he walked out of this alley again, Shen Muzhi had already changed his appearance.

He went to Anqing Lane first, and many people gathered in the alley, pointing and whispering to the innermost house. Shen Muzhi stood behind and listened for a while, and probably determined one thing. That is, after Xuan Cheng came back before, he should have met someone from the Zhengyang faction again, and he also made a move.

Xuan Cheng was able to go to Lilac Fang to leave a letter for him later, indicating that the people of the Zhengyang faction did not do anything to him. However, since he had already escaped, why didn't he wait for him to converge, but let him leave the city first?

What made him change his mind and stay in the city?

Shen Muzhi quickly thought of the little girl named Xu Ranran on Xiheng Street.

Since Xuan Cheng had decided to leave the city with him before, it was unlikely that he would change his mind at this time for the sake of those three dragon's blood grasses. Then in this Lancheng, the only one who can make him change his mind is that Xu Ranran.

contacted Xu Ranran again and was suddenly brought into the inner city......

With this kind of coincidence, Shen Muzhi can basically be sure that the so-called being favored by the inner city brother that the widow of the Xu family said before should be just an excuse, but in fact, the people of the Zhengyang faction secretly let people control Xu Ranran, and planned to use this to blackmail them.

In other words, Xuan Cheng should have gone to the inner city now.

If it was just those disciples of the Zhengyang Sect, Shen Muzhi was not worried that Xuan Cheng would suffer. With his current strength in the Purple Palace Realm, it would be easy to deal with those few Zhengyang Sect disciples. However, this time, those few people lost in dealing with the demon beasts, and the letter had already spread, Yu Xindu was here, and the Zhengyang faction should have already had elders coming.

Moreover, the other side is obviously prepared, so Xuan Cheng is afraid that it will be more dangerous to go.

Shen Mu's heart was uneasy, although he knew his current physical condition, he couldn't help if he went, but if he knew about this situation and went out of the city first, he wouldn't be able to do it.

Shen Muzhi left Qing'an Lane while thinking. It didn't take long for him to walk along Changxi Street to Nanzhi Street. When the entrance of Changxi Street comes out, it is not far from the inner city gate.

Shen Muzhi stared at the inner city gate, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then walked towards it.

After successfully passing through the inner city gate, Shen Muzhi did not go directly to the Qinghe Courtyard, he didn't want to startle the snake. What is the situation between Xuan Cheng and the Zhengyang faction now, he still doesn't know. He rashly went to Qinghe Villa at this time, which was very likely to destroy Xuan Cheng's plan at this time.

But he wanted to ask Yu Xin for help.

Although he didn't want to have any intersection with the people of the Great Sword Sect at this time, but in this situation, the only person he could find was Yu Xin.

Shen Muzhi went to Qingwangfu.

The matter was urgent, and he didn't want to waste time on entanglement with some unimportant people, so he directly avoided all the courtyards, climbed over the wall and entered King Qing's mansion, and then met King Qing under a pavilion in the back garden.

King Qing saw Shen Muzhi who suddenly appeared, and after his expression changed, he immediately calmed down.

"I don't know if this immortal family suddenly appeared in this king's mansion, what advice do you have?" King Qing stood there, polite to him.

Shen Muzhi got straight to the point and said: "I want to ask King Qing for a favor, go to Qinghe Courtyard and invite Yu Xin to come over, so I said that Xuancheng has an invitation." ”

When King Qing heard about Qinghe Courtyard, his brows were already furrowed, and after listening to it, his brows were even tighter. After looking at Shen Mu vigilantly, he hesitated slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "What if this king says no?"

"I'm not talking to you, so you don't have room for bargaining. Shen Muzhi said: "I know your relationship with the Great Sword Sect. However, this is nothing to me. So, you'd better be more cooperative. As he spoke, he turned over his hand and took out a jade bottle and put it on the table in the pavilion: "As long as you cooperate, I will not do anything to you and your Qingwang Mansion." And I have a big gift to give. I can't help your son's condition. But I have a few good elixirs here, which are usually taken with water, and each one can extend its life for at least ten years. ”

King Qing glanced at the jade bottle on the table, if he said that he was not impressed, it would be fake. Although over the years, he has not obtained a similar elixir. But this kind of thing, who would be too much.

After a moment's hesitation, King Qing nodded.

"I'm waiting for you here. Be quick. Xuan Cheng said again.

King Qing nodded: "Okay, I'll go now." "Let's go.

"This matter, except for you and Yu Xin, no third person can know about it. Shen Muzhi said again: "Otherwise, you know the consequences." ”

King Qing paused for a moment, then said nothing and continued to walk out.
