"Old Shi, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Shi Cheng's expression, Wu Neng leaned his head over with some curiosity.

Shi Cheng looked at the package on the bedside table and said softly, "Someone has entered our room. He pointed to the opening of the package, and his tone became cold, "I stuck a hair into the opening of the package when we left, but when we came back, the hair was gone. ”

Hearing this, Wu Neng suddenly became agitated and stood up. Iron Mask's eyes also became serious, and he vigilantly used his five senses to carefully probe every corner of the room

"Could it be that someone from the government sneaked in to check our luggage while we weren't there?" Wu Neng guessed.

"They could have searched us openly, without having to take such a troublesome approach. It's not impossible, but I don't think it's too likely. Shi Cheng analyzed, "Wu Neng, don't forget, at least we were already targeted by the forces of the Lu Clan in the Southern Wilderness when we were in Baisha City, let alone in this city on the Xieyang Road. ”

Although Wu Neng didn't believe that the force was controlled by the Lu clan, he didn't have the heart to worry about these things with Shi Cheng for a while. He just looked at Shi Cheng and asked a little anxiously, "Old Shi, you have an idea, how should we deal with it now?" ”

As early as when the three of them crossed the desert together, Iron Mask had already learned some of their previous experiences from the conversation between Shi and Wu. At this time, he suddenly said: "You are fine in Baisha City, and there may be nothing wrong here. ”

Shi Cheng nodded and said, "At least now we won't encounter any danger in the city, let's take one step at a time, but we have to be cautious." ”

The three of them quickly checked the luggage left in the inn, but the items in the luggage were as usual, they were not lost or moved, and the three of them could only give up for the time being.

At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Then the voice of a guy in the shop sounded outside the door: "Three guest officers, there are a few messengers who want to meet you." ”

"Oh, you're coming to us so late." Shi Cheng was a little puzzled, he turned back to the two companions, and then got up and walked to the door and opened the door.

When the door opened, the man who knocked respectfully stepped back. Beside him, five officials with scimitars on their waists stared at Shi Cheng with fierce eyes, and the one led by them was Wen Si who brought Shi Cheng and the others to this inn.

Wen Si had no expression on his face, and said straight to the point: "Lord Sun wants to talk to the three of you, I wonder if it is convenient for you now?" Although his wording was a consultative tone, the tone was inescapable.

"Do you think there's another option down there?" Shi Cheng said helplessly: "But I don't know why Lord Sun suddenly wants to ask us at this time?" ”

"You'll know when you go." Wen Si didn't say much, he stepped back sideways and made a gesture of please.

Shi Cheng looked at the five officials a little, and found that they were not carrying shackles, and his heart was a little calm, so he turned back to Wu Neng and Tie Mian and said, "Old Wu, Tie Mian, Lord Sun, please let us have supper, let's go!" ”

……

It was late at night, and there was no trace of pedestrians on the streets of Yunqiu City, except for a group of city guards who enforced the curfew patrolling the streets and alleys. Shi Cheng and the others were walking on a street, and occasionally a team of city guards passed by them, but they didn't come up to inquire after seeing the clothes of Wen Si and the others.

Wu Neng looked at the few officials around him who didn't have a good face, and muttered to Shi Cheng on the side: "I really believe in your evil, I really thought that the chief catcher wanted to entertain us well." ”

"People are floating in the rivers and lakes, don't be too naïve." Shi Cheng said to Wu Neng with a relaxed face, "You don't have to worry, no matter how bad the situation is, it can be worse than when you eat in prison in the dungeon of Redwood City?" ”

Wu Neng said angrily: "You are embarrassed to mention this." I was kind enough to help you make alchemy, but as soon as you patted your ass and left, you left me alone to take the pot for you! ”

"Be quiet! What are you muttering?! Wen Sijianshi and Wu, who were leading the way in front, kept babbling, and suddenly shouted.

"It's just a matter of family life, don't blame the poor master, don't blame." Shi Cheng sneered, but in his heart he was thinking about how to deal with the military attache surnamed Sun next.

Shi Cheng knew very well that among all the officials in this Cloud Hill City, that Lord Sun was probably the most difficult one to deal with.

Everyone walked on the street for a while, and Shi Cheng saw the yamen that his party had visited during the day. Wen Si went to the door to report, the guard guarding the door immediately opened the side door, and a group of mermaids rushed in, looking at the direction Wen Si walked, that Lord Sun should have put the night talk in the cabinet where they met during the day.

When Shi Cheng and the others came in, the military attache surnamed Sun was reading a book under the candlestick. Another military attaché, Zhao Ping, stood aside with a sword.

"My lord, the man has been brought." Wen Si said respectfully.

The military attache surnamed Sun raised his head, hummed, and gestured. Wen Si had some hesitation on his face, but he nodded anyway and led his men out of the hall.

"Shi Cheng, do you know what this official summoned you for tonight?" The military attache surnamed Sun said unhurriedly, and there was no expression on his face.

"That's what I'm trying to know." Shi Cheng replied.

The military attache surnamed Sun stared at Shi Cheng for a while, then suddenly sneered and said in a shocking voice: "You are not very old, but your courage is not small!" How dare you make up a lie and deceive your own officials! ”

Wu Neng was so frightened by the loud shout of the military attache surnamed Sun that his legs and stomach trembled a little, Shi Cheng looked back at Wu Neng, smiled, signaled him not to worry, and then turned his head and said slowly: "My lord, how can you say this?" ”

The military attache surnamed Sun threw a letter over, Shi Cheng reached out and took it in his hand steadily, he opened it and looked at it for a while, but there was no change in his eyes.

The military attache surnamed Sun was also surprised by Shi Cheng's indifference, and he immediately said: "As early as after you left the Yamen today, I sent a flying pigeon to the neighboring cities on Xieyang Road, asking them to check if there is any record of your entry into the city. Sure enough, none of the nearby cities have your entry records, and I don't think there will be any other answer to the reply from the farther cities. Shi Cheng, I don't know how you are going to explain this to me? ”

Shi Cheng had already thought of this question in his heart, and he spent the whole afternoon thinking about his rhetoric, so he was not panicked at this time.

"Master Sun, I wonder if you have learned about what happened to me in Redwood City?" Shi Cheng raised his head, "I learned about medical skills in the lower part of the city, and my teacher taught me to be compassionate since I was a child, so after I arrived in Redwood City, I walked the streets and alleys of the city and held free clinics. However, the tree was so popular that he accidentally offended a few local magnates, and was accused of a crime, so he had to quietly escape from the city. After leaving the city, I was penniless, but fortunately, I still had some precious medicines with me, so I planned to go to Wangcheng along Xieyang Road to see if there was any chance to make a difference, and after selling the medicinal materials in my hand at a good price, I hurried home with my companions. Lord Sun, do you think that a few of us who have been accused of crimes have the courage to go to the city near Redwood City? ”

"This Shi Cheng is really a set of words." Wu Neng muttered in his heart.

The military attache surnamed Sun frowned, and after a while, he asked, "I know that you are a Dan Master certified by the Western Continent Pharmacist Chamber of Commerce, how could you be embarrassed by the ground snake in Redwood City with your status?" ”

"Master Sun, the strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, not to mention that Shi is only twenty-eight years old, even if he is a Dan master, but how capable can he be in the end?" Shi Cheng said in a slightly mocking tone, "I have heard that the Western Desert Kingdom, like the Great Wei, is a country that emphasizes education. Shi originally thought that the subjects in such an enlightened country should be people with simple folk customs and good manners. But Shi never thought that there would be such flies and dogs in your country, just like our Western Continent. If you don't notice it for a while, you will be fooled. If Lord Sun doesn't believe me, he can point out the names of those snake snakes to you in person, and then you will escort him to Redwood City to confront them. ”

"Enough! You Western barbarian is so rude! Zhao Ping finally couldn't help it, and pointed at Shi Cheng's nose and shouted angrily.

The face of the military attache surnamed Sun was also red and white, and he found that he couldn't touch the bottom of Shi Cheng for a while. Although Shi Cheng's rhetoric is full of guns and sticks, there are no loopholes on the surface, and it seems that he is not afraid to go to Redwood City to verify it.

However, the military attache surnamed Sun was not in a hurry, he stopped Zhao Ping and asked coldly: "Then how do you explain the matter of your false report?" According to you, you found an uninhabited village on the Slope Road. But when our men went to the location you mentioned, they found that nothing had happened in the village, and everyone was living a normal life. I wonder how you explain this? ”
