Wang Ruikun waited for the second daughter to leave, stood in place for a while, and then walked to a room in the main hall.

In the middle of the room, there was a middle-aged man dressed in yellow brocade and with a Chinese face.

"Vice President. The middle-aged man with a national character face saw Wang Ruikun walk in, stood up, and saluted him.

"Well, you and I don't have to be so polite. Wang Ruikun waved his hand.

The two sat down separately, and an attendant brought tea.

"Elder Yun, what do you think about Zhong Xiu's matter today?" Wang Ruikun took a sip of tea and asked.

"This woman is delicate, although she is not very old, but she is calm and composed, which is really rare. The middle-aged man with a national character face said.

"Yes, go on. Wang Ruikun said.

Looking back on this woman's actions and performances in these days, it seems that she should have discovered some clues a long time ago, deliberately diverted the other party's attention, made the other party relax her vigilance, but in fact, she was secretly deployed, and finally recaptured the robbed goods in one fell swoop. "The face of the national character is middle-aged and humane.

"Although Zhong Xiu did not mention which side this raider was from beginning to end, judging from the events in several other places, I did have some guesses in my mind. Now it seems that this force also has eyes and ears in Cangxu City, and the reason why Zhong Xiu didn't mention it may be because he didn't have any evidence that could be obtained on the surface. Wang Ruikun pondered for a moment and said.

In the next opinion, whether there is evidence or not, Vice President Wang can find an opportunity to talk to Zhong Xiu in private first. "The face of the national character is middle-aged and humane.

"Well, I'll consider this matter. By the way, the reason why Zhong Xiu was able to recover the goods this time was that the Shi Mu beside him must have played a great role, what did you investigate about this person?" Wang Ruikun nodded slightly and asked again.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man with a Chinese character face took out a jade slip from his arms, handed it over, and said:

"This is information about that Shi Mu, you can take a look. ”

Wang Ruikun took the jade slip, put it on his forehead, his divine sense penetrated into it, raised his eyebrows, and opened his eyes after a while.

"This person does have some meaning, his martial arts cultivation is not weak, and he is still a talisman maker. Also from the Dongzhou Continent...... Although the Dongzhou Continent is poor in resources, sometimes there are many geniuses. Wang Ruikun said.

"The more difficult the environment, the more people can be trained. The middle-aged man with a national character face said.

"According to the information above, as well as the situation I saw today, this Shi Mu and Zhong Xiu should be lovers. This person is quite capable, and if he can introduce the Chamber of Commerce, it will be a big help. Wang Ruikun sighed slightly and said.

"Actually, no matter what that Shi Mu thinks, since he and Zhong Xiu are lovers, then as long as we control Zhong Xiu, we don't have to worry that this Shi Mu will not contribute to our Chamber of Commerce. The middle-aged man with a national character face said.

"Elder Yun has a point. Wang Ruikun nodded.

......

After Zhong Xiu and the bewitching woman walked out of the main hall, they walked along a stone road in front of the door to a fork in the road.

The two glanced at each other, but neither spoke, but walked in different directions to the left and right.

Zhong Xiu quickened his pace and quickly returned to his residence, Shi Mu was standing in the courtyard with his hands in his hands at the moment, chatting with Cai'er on his shoulder.

"Brother Shi, I just thought you wouldn't be able to come back. When Zhong Xiu saw Shi Mu, he no longer had any reserve in front of outsiders, ran over, and threw himself into Shi Mu's arms.

"Silly girl, didn't I come back safely. Shi Mu gently stroked Zhong Xiu's head and said softly.

"I'm afraid ......" Zhong Xiu's face was buried in Shi Mu's chest, and his hands were tightly wrapped around Shi Mu.

"Don't worry, your big brother Shi is a celestial person, and it will be fine. Shi Mu said with a smile.

"Wow, you're too numb to look at the stone, I can't stand it!" Cai'er spread her wings from Shi Mu's shoulders and flew up, and quacked strangely.

"Poor mouth!" Shi Mu scolded with a smile, flicked his fingers, and a wisp of qi hit Cai'er, Cai'er screamed, her body shook, she dodged her qi, and flew into the distance.

There was a hint of surprise in Shi Mu's eyes, Cai'er's reaction speed was much faster than before, although it was just a casual blow just now, it didn't really contain any true qi in it, but after all, the distance was quite close, and he was still a little surprised to be dodged.

Zhong Xiu's face was slightly red, and he let go of Shi Mu.

"Let's go, let's go into the house. Shi Mu pulled Zhong Xiu into the house, and the two sat down.

Under Zhong Xiu's inquiry, Shi Mu told Zhong Xiu everything that had happened and experienced in the past few days.

"Cult of the Moon...... Willow Shore ...... Sure enough, they did it. Zhong Xiu said.

"He's supposed to be planning something again, it seems that he needs a lot of star stones. Shi Mu said.

"Brother Shi, forget about this matter after it has passed. If he doesn't provoke us in the future, let's not provoke him. Zhong Xiu thought for a while and said.

"Well, I have my own measure in this matter. By the way, what did that Wang Ruikun call you over just now?" Shi Mu asked.

Zhong Xiu didn't hide it, and told Shi Mu about the auction mentioned by Wang Ruikun just now, as well as the matter of the demon clan's envoy.

Shi Mu is now her most important person, Zhong Xiucai ignored the rules of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce and told Shi Mu these confidential information word for word.

"Naluo region, Ling Tianfeng!" Shi Mu's expression moved, and he suddenly stood up.

"Brother Shi, what's wrong?" Zhong Xiu was taken aback by Shi Mu and hurriedly asked.

"That's the case, in fact, I came to Xihe Continent, on the one hand, to avoid the pursuit of the wanted warrant, and on the other hand, I also want to go to Ling Tianfeng......" Shi Mu pondered for a while, and told Zhong Xiu about the idea that he had always wanted to go to Ling Tianfeng.

As for the white ape's dream, because it was too bizarre, he attributed it to a dream that he had always had, and he passed it in a vague sentence.

"As far as I know, Ling Tianfeng is the holy land of the Demon Clan, and there are still the three major clans of the Demon Clan entrenched and guarded there, if outsiders want to get close, it is simply impossible. Zhong Xiu said.

"Yes, so I've been building up strength before, and I was going to wait until I had enough strength before leaving. Shi Mu said.

"Brother Shi, even if your strength reaches the ground level, it is still too dangerous to go to Ling Tianfeng. But this time is an opportunity, if I can become the envoy of the demon clan, I can take you to the territory of the three demon clans in a bright light. Once there, there might be a chance to get close to Ling Tianfeng. Zhong Xiu pondered for a moment and said.

"Well, I will do my best to help you in this auction!" Shi Mu nodded and said.

"Yes!" Zhong Xiu nodded vigorously. I don't know when it started, as long as Shi Mu was around, she had a sense of security, and her confidence doubled all of a sudden.

"There are still two months left before the auction, which is not a long time, but it is not a short time. Let's take a look at the auction site before we plan for the next step. Shi Mu said.

Zhong Xiu nodded.

At this moment, a voice came from outside.

"Zhou Rui, the steward of the Chamber of Commerce, meet Elder Zhong. ”

Zhong Xiu glanced at Shi Mu, and the two walked out, and a young man in white stood respectfully outside the courtyard.

This person is dressed in a clean white robe, with sword eyebrows and sideburns, and his appearance is quite handsome, and his cultivation is about the appearance of the early stage of congenital.

"Elder Zhong, my subordinates have come to deliver information about Cangxu's auction to you on the orders of Vice President Wang. When the young man in white saw Zhong Xiu come out, he saluted again, took out a palm-sized jade box, and held it in his hand.

Zhong Xiu took the jade box, and when he opened it, there were some jade slips, letters and other things.

Zhong Xiu checked it slightly, and these things recorded the specific information of the auction venue in the east of the city that she operated, the process of the auction conference, and the list of various forces in the city, etc.

"Okay, thank you. Zhong Xiu said to the man in white.

The man in white humbled up, but did not leave, but continued to stand there.

"Zhou Rui, do you have anything else?" Zhong Xiu glanced at the man in white strangely.

"That's right, Vice President Wang is worried that Elder Zhong is not very familiar with Cangxu City, and there will be a lot of inconvenience when preparing for the auction, his subordinates have grown up in Cangxu City since they were children, so Vice President Wang specially asked his subordinates to assist Elder Zhong during this time, and obey Elder Zhong's dispatch in everything. The man in white said respectfully.

"Okay, we're going to the auction venue in the east of the city, you can take us there. When Zhong Xiu heard this, he said:

She is really not familiar with Cangxu City, and it is natural that she can't ask for such a familiar helper.

"Yes. Zhou Rui agreed.

The three of them quickly left the chamber of commerce and came to a bustling street in the east of the city.

The streets are wide enough for four or five horse-drawn carriages to run side by side, and are lined with large shops and people.

"This street is called Yingxian Street, and it is the most lively place in the east of Cangxu City. Zhou Rui walked beside the two and opened his mouth to introduce.

Hearing this, Shi Mu looked around.

Although he also ran around the city for a few days a while to buy various supplies, in order to avoid attracting attention, he was calculating and balancing the types and quantities of goods purchased in each shop all day long.

Now after careful inspection, I have seen the true prosperity of Cangxu City.

Cangxu City deserved to be a famous city in the Xihe Continent, and the grandeur of this street alone was far better than any city he had been to before.

At this moment, a large-scale shop not far away attracted his attention.

Occupying the most prosperous part of the street, this shop has an extremely wide façade, a tall building, three floors above and below, bright red walls, and a glittering glazed roof, which looks extremely noble.

There is a huge plaque hanging in front of the shop - Yingxian Pavilion!

These three big characters are written in gold lacquer, like a coiled dragon and a phoenix, vaguely exuding a majestic atmosphere.

"Elder Zhong, Senior Shi, this Yingxian Pavilion is the auction venue that Elder Zhong is in charge of this time. At this moment, Zhou Rui pointed to the direction of the shop and said.

Zhong Xiu looked at the tall building in front of him, and there was a strange look in his eyes.

"Let's go, let's go over and have a look. Zhong Xiu took a deep breath and walked towards Yingxian Pavilion. (To be continued.) )
