(); "Haven't come back yet?!"

Ten days later, the same question came from two places in the Sky Slashing City at the same time, and the people who asked it were different and the targets were different.

In the VIP building, Ximen Qinghao's back was straight, and his eyes were staring straight at the person in front of him.

His loyal subordinates, dressed in black, knelt down in front of him, and said anxiously and respectfully: "Yes, ten days ago, news came back every other day, and there was no news from the other side for ten days. We sent people to investigate, and after three days of searching, not only did we find no news, but we didn't even find anyone!"

Ximen Qinghao's expression was extremely harsh: "No one?"

"Yes, nobody, nothing. There are still some traces of what they have experienced in the mountains and forests, but if they follow the traces, they can't find anything, and they can't even ...... Not even a corpse!"

"There are no bodies? Doesn't that mean they're completely missing?"

“...... Yes!"

"Ten days ago...... Are those two women coming back?"

"Yes, they came back, and we sent a message out to the Scar team. ”

"Those two women have met Chang Ming, and it is impossible for the scar not to be discovered. In other words, they came into contact with Chang Ming, and then- disappeared?"

A layer of gloomy and cold atmosphere descended on the heads of the two people at the same time, and Ximen Wushuang, who was listening, jumped up: "How is it possible? Scar, they have assassinated a senior organ master! If it weren't for a little luck that time, even the organ grandmaster would have to die! Just a junior organ master, just a junior organ master......

His voice gradually lowered under Ximen Qinghao's cold gaze, and Ximen Qinghao said coldly: "Obviously, the other party either has a helper, or his personal ability is extraordinary!"

The black-clothed subordinate said: "But after all, there are many people with scars, and they are good at concealment, even if the other party kills them, it is impossible to leave no trace at all......"

Ximen Qinghao's brow furrowed tightly, he knew very well what Scar was capable of. It's definitely not okay to go to the battlefield, but track down a person in the mountains and forests and wait for an opportunity to kill them...... This should be their forte!

Even if the other party's strength was beyond imagination and could kill them in turn, how could twenty-seven people be wiped out so cleanly?

Unless, the other side has a team that is better at tracking than them and is not inferior in numbers!

But Ximen Qing sent people to chase and kill Chang Ming on the one hand, and supervised the situation in the Sky Cutting City, and the people sent by the Sky Cutting City to pick up Chang Ming also installed the spies of the Ximen family. If such a force really appeared in the Minling Mountain Range, it was impossible for him not to receive any news!

Now what's going on......

Ximen Qinghao stood up, walked a few steps back and forth, and said categorically: "No matter what, we have to be ready to destroy all the scars!"

The black-clothed subordinates showed expressions of "it should be so", but Ximen Wushuang was extremely shocked. But his father was so powerful that he didn't dare to say a word.

Ximen Haruhao ordered: "I will contact the Aoki royal family and push forward the negotiation process as soon as possible." After entering the negotiation, there will be more containment, and it is easy to fish in troubled waters. Second, continue to track down the whereabouts of the Scar team and investigate carefully! Since we can find their whereabouts, it is impossible not to find a single clue! Third, we will mobilize some people to come over and monitor the Sky Slayer City at any time. If Chang Ming is okay, he will definitely come back! Intercept him on his way back to Heaven Slaying City!"

He issued a series of orders, and his black-clothed men hung their heads deeply, answered them one by one, and left.

Only Simon and his son were left in the house. Ximen Qinghao's expression changed a little, and the exhaustion crept up obviously. He turned his head, looked at Ximen Wushuang deeply, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "I, Ximen Qing, am a good hero, but I raised you, a son with eyes and no beads!"

Ximen Wushuang was a little unconvinced, but when he thought of the mess he had broken into, he could only bow his head unwillingly.

Ximen Qing turned his head and looked out the window, and a round of sunset was slowly setting on the other side of the Qinluo River. It was blood-red and bleak, as if it was trying its best to give its last rays.

A sense of foreboding passed through his heart, and with a sudden wave of his hand, he closed the curtains. The room was plunged into darkness.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

As if he wanted to get rid of this suffocating atmosphere, Ximen Wushuang hurriedly ran over and opened the door.

A young escort saluted the father and son, and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, there is an invitation for you!"

Invitations?

......

At the same time, on the other side of Heaven Slashing City, Gu Qingting also frowned and asked, "You haven't come back yet?"

Huang Qingping said: "Yes, as of today, Lu Chuangshi has been gone for ten days. ”

Ten days ago, Lu Qianxue personally went to the Minling Mountains to pick up Chang Ming back.

The Minling Mountains are too big, even if it is Lu Qianxue, there is no way to know where Chang Ming is right away.

There was no news for the first two days, and everyone thought it was normal, although they were a little worried, but it was better than finding Chang Ming's body.

Two days later, the situation was getting stranger and stranger.

Ximen Qinghao sent people to keep an eye on the Sky Cutting City, and the Sky Cutting City didn't send people to spy on him in turn.

Although there is no way to put nails in the killer team of the Simon family, if the killer team succeeds, they will definitely repay the people who are good to Ximen!

The strangest thing is here, Ximen Qing seems to have lost contact with his killer team!

At this time, Lu Qianxue searched for two days in the Minling Mountains, but could not find anyone at all. I didn't find Chang Ming, and I didn't find the killer team of the Simon family!

If it weren't for the fact that there was still a trace left, one would even think that neither side had ever been here......

Two days later, Lu Qianxue spread the news that the remains of the hermit master had been found in a valley. She suspected that Chang Ming had entered the ruins, and followed this sign to find that the ruins had already been buried by rocks in an earthquake, and the earthquake had occurred for at least ten years, and the ruins could not be entered at all.

Next, Lu Qianxue didn't find any signs of Chang Ming.

It's not that everyone didn't suspect that Chang Ming had actually left the Minling Mountain Range, but if he left the Minling Mountain Range, why didn't he return to Heaven Cutting City?

He obviously told Xiao Youlan that he would come back!

Of course, if you think about it deeply, he also has a reason not to come back......

Gu Qingting's face was bitter, and he said to Huang Qingping, "Sure enough, he still suspects us, right?"

Huang Qingping was silent for a moment, and his blade-like eyebrows furled slightly: "It's normal for him to be suspicious." Our reaction this time really didn't look like a normal friend. Not only is the reaction too slow, but there are too few people dispatched! Chang Ming has helped us so much, how can we not do our best to deal with him when he is in danger!"

Gu Qingting was silent and did not speak.

But Huang Qingping then said: "However, Your Royal Highness, we all know that we have a reason why we have to do this! One day, Chang Ming will understand us. ”

Gu Qingting looked at the thick plan in his hand, shook his head and said, "In the future, one day, maybe." But I don't want the future...... Alas, look at this plan, we still need to Chang Ming!"

He turned to one of the pages and drew a circle on it with his pen: "Here, for example, how can we achieve maximum efficiency in the logistics and supply routes, and how can we summarize the minimum margin?"

He sighed, and threw the pen in his hand on the table, "These are mentioned by Chang Ming slightly, as long as I think about it, I feel itchy and hard to scratch!

Huang Qingping said unceremoniously: "If we had known, we wouldn't have let this happen at all." Your Royal Highness, the immediate priority is to find out Chang Ming's whereabouts and obtain his understanding as much as possible!"

Gu Qingting sighed again: "You're right, we should draw up a charter ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Huang Qingping walked over and opened the door, Gu Qingting's attendant stood at the door, and said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness, someone has sent a gift and an invitation letter. ”

"Gift?" Gu Qingting frowned and asked, "Where did it come from?"

The attendant replied, "The payment is anonymous, I don't know where it came from." ”

I don't know where he came from to send it to Gu Qingting? This is not the style of his subordinates!

The respect of Prince Gu Qingting, the conspiracies against him have always been endless, and anonymous gifts like this will be collected by his attendant room, even if they are not dangerous items, and will never be handed directly to him.

What's going on this time?

A voice came from the side of the attendant: "Your Royal Highness, we have already opened the gifts and looked at them, and we all agree that it is better for you to see them for yourself." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this voice, Gu Qingting's expression became more solemn. He looked at the old man standing upright at the door and said, "Mr. Duan said this, I am curious. Something, bring it to me. ”

The room in Gu Qingting's office has two doors on the left and right, and these two doors are very wide to open, and they usually only open one.

At this time, Mr. Duan came in, but first arranged for two people to open the door!

Immediately afterward, two more people walked in with a huge box, which was flat, about twenty centimeters thick, and more than one meter long!

Interestingly, a box like this is usually moved in vertically, but Mr. Duan arranged for two people to pinto, as if he was afraid of knocking it over.

Gu Qingting's curiosity rose, he stood up, walked around from behind the table, and walked to the front of the square box.

The attendant laid the box flat on the coffee table and opened the lid on it.

Gu Qingting noticed that this was an ordinary wooden box, and the materials were very ordinary, and it could even be said to be cheap. Such a worthless thing rarely even appears in front of Gu Qingting!

Now, it is Mr. Duan who is in charge and has brought it directly to him?

The lid of the box was opened, Gu Qingting looked down with interest, this look, his eyes instantly widened, and the whole person was stunned! He stared at the contents of the box tightly, and his eyelids were reluctant to blink more!

Huang Qingping stood next to him and looked in with him, the expression on his face was also very curious. As a result, at a glance, his expression became exactly the same as Gu Qingting!

Both of them stood frozen in front of the wooden box, dumbfounded!

After a long while, Gu Qingting reluctantly raised his head and hurriedly asked, "Who sent this box?!"

The attendant said, "It was a young man in his thirties, and he brought four people with him, and brought this box with an invitation, and told us to pay attention to it. After sending his things, he left. ”

Although the other party said this, it was sure that everyone would not pay attention to it at first.

The box was moved to the attendant's room, and after everyone had checked it with a special mechanism to make sure it was not in the slightest danger, it was carefully opened.

After opening it, everyone didn't know what it was, and they didn't pay attention to it originally. At this time, the gentleman happened to pass by the attendant's room, and when he saw such a large box, he came over curiously to take a look.

He looked at it for ten minutes, and after ten minutes, he urgently ordered everyone to hurry up and send the things to the prince!

As soon as he heard that the other party was a young man, Gu Qingting's eyes lit up, and when he heard that the other party was already in his thirties, he was disappointed and a little confused.

Huang Qingping immediately shouted: "Who took the thing from this young man? Hurry up, I have a question I want to ask him!"

An attendant hurriedly went out to call someone, and at this time, Gu Qingting had already picked up the invitation letter next to the box, and after taking a look, he said to himself suspiciously: "Auction house, there will be an auction in three days?"

He stared at the text on the invitation, his gaze gradually turning from doubt to clarity.

In the end, he shook his head and sighed, handed the invitation to Huang Qingping, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that in three days, we have to make a trip!"

He waved his hand to Mr. Duan and said, "Mr. Duan, please help me bring the budget report of the War Committee!" )
