After getting Zhu Mingtao's permission, Zhu Qing hurriedly walked into the study.

"Owner! Someone has just come to the gate of the village, and he wants to wrap this cloth for you by name. Zhu Qing said respectfully, and then presented the black cloth bag to Zhu Mingtao's desk.

"Oh? Who sent it? Zhu Mingtao asked, he took the cloth bag and looked at the prohibition on it.

"According to Zhu Feng, the janitor, it's your friends who like to wear black robes. It looks like someone from the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce is looking for you. Speaking of this, Zhu Qing was a little puzzled, "But didn't they say that they had already left the royal city, why did they come here again tonight?" ”

Zhu Mingtao's body was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "Did the person who came say anything?" Where are they now? ”

Zhu Qing replied: "The person who sent the message said that he had something important to discuss with you face to face at Qingshi Mountain, and he left after explaining these words, looking very hurried. ”

"Just gone?" Zhu Mingtao asked suspiciously, "They didn't say they wanted to come in and talk to me?" ”

"Not this time." Zhu Qing replied.

Zhu Mingtao stood up, "Are you sure it's someone from the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce?" ”

"Yes, owner. Zhu Feng has received their envoys many times, and he also recognizes the strange aura in the true qi of those weirdos. ”

"They said let me meet them at Bluestone Mountain, right?"

"That's right."

Zhu Mingtao thought for a while, then he waved his hand and said, "I know, you go down first, prepare clothes for me, and I'll go back as soon as I go." ”

"Owner, those people have always felt quite strange to their subordinates, do you really want to meet them in person, do you need me to bring a few of the family's right-hand men with you?"

Zhu Mingtao thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Okay, you can bring four descendants and a few Zhuang Ding with me, don't forget to prepare the carriage as well." ”

After Zhu Qing answered, he immediately went out to prepare.

Zhu Mingtao was left alone in the room, and with a wave of his hand, he easily broke the prohibition on the cloth bag and untied the black cloth strips.

When he saw the contents of the cloth bag, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise, "Ziyan Ling!" ”

"How could it be the Purple Flame Order?" Zhu Mingtao paced around the room with some uneasiness, "With this thing as a letter, could it be that their backbone encountered some trouble on the way to evacuate?" ”

Zhu Mingtao had a faint sense of ominousness in his heart, but the fear of unknown troubles related to him finally prevailed, he put Ziyan Ling into the storage bag he carried, and then pushed open the door of the study, ready to go back to the bedroom to change clothes.

……

In a hurry, Shi Cheng and his party soon came to the foot of Qingshi Mountain.

Although Qingshi Mountain has a mountain in its name, it is just a slightly higher hill in Shi Cheng's opinion, and it can naturally be regarded as a mountain in the western desert of Gyeonggi, which is located in Yima Pingchuan, but if it is placed in the rolling terrain of Lingnan County or Nanqiu Province, the so-called Qingshi Mountain can only be regarded as a large dirt slope.

"Lao Shi, can it really work?" On the way up the mountain, Wu Neng quietly asked Shi Cheng beside him. He was still a little uneasy about Shi Cheng's plan in his heart.

"Don't worry, Lao Wu, I'm sure. During this period of time, they frequently took action, wiped out the Hu family, and took the initiative to close such an important point as the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce, which shows that their backbone in the Southern Wilderness has most likely begun to hide or retreat, which also helps them avoid the limelight of the poisoning case. In this case, the one in Zhujia Villa can't loosen the strings, so we can use that token to swing the ecstasy array. Besides, all I'm asking for tonight is for him to come over, and if he comes, a lot of things will be clear to the two audience we've invited tonight. Shi Cheng replied in a low voice.

Wu Neng nodded and didn't say anything more.

Everyone moved forward in the cold wind, and due to the accumulation of a lot of snow on the bluestone mountain, the speed of the group's march was still affected, but fortunately, Shi Cheng's preparations in advance were quite sufficient, and everyone finally came to the open space on the top of the mountain in time.

"Lao Wu, you don't have to make a move in a while, it's not easy for you to save up your weapons, just take care of the guests, just leave it to me and Iron Mask."

After whispering to Wu Neng, Shi Cheng touched the storage bag, and he took out the eight order flags.

With a wave of his right hand, the Lingqi flew in all directions, some fell behind the rocks, some fell behind the big trees, and the eight Lingqi formed a large circle, enveloping the entire open space in it.

These banners were all changed by Shi Cheng with the remaining spirit runes in his hand, so they are not as powerful as the serious ones, but they are more than enough to block the enemy's escape.

After doing this, everyone cleaned a large bluestone on the platform and sat down on it.

There is only one way into the mountain, and since the bluestone mountain is not very high, Shi Cheng, who sits on the big rock, can still see the situation on the entire mountain road.

The cold wind was blowing, but Shi Cheng, Tie Mian, Zhao Ping and Zheng Yidao didn't feel anything about it, and only Wu Neng really couldn't stand the mountain wind like ice blades, so he wrapped his coat tightly, and the whole person shrank behind Shi Cheng and Tie Mian.

"Fortunately, I had the foresight to prepare a coat in the Hidden Heaven Box." Wu Neng thought happily in his heart.

Everyone waited in silence for a while, and Shi Cheng suddenly spoke to break the quiet atmosphere.

"Lord Zhao, Senior Zheng, are you worried now, or are you afraid? After all, you are about to see a scene that you never imagined in your mind. Shi Cheng said calmly, looking like he had won the game.

Zhao Ping and Zheng Yidao glanced at each other, both of them wanted to say something, but they didn't know what to say when the words reached their throats.

"Let me ask you two a question, if Zhu Mingtao really comes tonight, then what do you two think you should do with him in your hearts?" Shi Cheng looked at the two of them, and then immediately said, "My attitude has been very clear in the Qinglin Building before, I don't have so much time to rub shoulders with the officials of your country, and it is impossible to bring him down with the status of the two of you after we leave, it is better to use him to try my magical powers, and it is good to really prove my identity in front of you." ”

Zheng Yidao didn't seem to have any opinions, he only thought about it for a while, then nodded, and said seriously: "The old man has no opinion, I can trust Zhao Ping's character, so I also believe in the inside story of the Xieyang Dao case he told me." If Zhu Mingtao, this kid really has an affair with those demons, he will be old...... I will not have any objection to what Shi Daoyou intends to do with him. ”

"Okay, then thank you seniors for your trust." Shi Cheng said.

However, Zhao Ping's heart was quite entangled, after all, he was a real official in the group, and it was impossible to say that his proposal to Shi Cheng did not have the slightest mustard.

He thought for a while and said to Shi Cheng: "Shi Cheng, do you really want to make a move here?" I think...... Why don't we arrest him first, and then interrogate him slowly, and maybe we can find more clues. Or don't be in a hurry to leave, and then stay in the royal city for a little longer, and then we will investigate slowly. ”

Zhao Ping didn't continue to talk about this, as if he himself felt that his arguments were not convincing.

Shi Cheng shook his head and said, "Lord Zhao, do you think this is possible?" You can see what has happened in the Western Desert King City in the past few days, not to mention that I have offended so many people at the Martial Arts Conference, in the current situation, maybe in the future, the general chamber of commerce of our alliance khanate resident in Dengnangang may leave the Western Desert, even if I am a member of the Pharmacist Chamber of Commerce, but after all, I am still a helpless wanderer after all, how long do you think I can drag it here? Not to mention that the nest of the remnants of the Lu clan is very likely not to be in the Southern Wilderness, and I don't have much time, so I can't always stay here. ”

Seeing that Zhao Ping didn't speak, Shi Cheng said again: "In addition, it's not that I look down on you, we don't have empirical evidence in our hands after all, and Zhu Mingtao, with his status and financial resources, can easily deny it in every way in the government, and even bite you back There is no problem, in today's situation, I don't think about it, it's better to kill the first evil directly, and then you are secretly staring at the next movement of the Zhu family." ”

The expression on Zhao Ping's face changed like the weather on the plateau, and in the end, he compromised.

"Thank you." Shi Cheng arched his hand to Zhao Ping.

The words of the group were less, and Wu Neng wanted to gag a few words to adjust the atmosphere, but Zhao Ping and Zheng Yidao's hearts were very nervous, and they focused more on the mountain road, and they only answered a few words perfunctorily to what Wu Neng said.

Finally, after nearly an hour, there was movement on the mountain road, and a convoy covered in gray cloth was approaching the way up the mountain.

Zhao Ping and Zheng Yidao glanced at each other, and both of them could hear each other's sighs.

Zheng Yidao still said in disbelief: "Although my cultivation is not as good as Zhu Mingtao, this kid can be regarded as a junior who has dealt with me many times." In the past, he was the leader of the younger generation in the Western Desert, with ideals and decency, how could he have fallen to such a point today? ”

Shi Cheng didn't say anything, and after seeing the convoy, he took out a packet of dark purple powder from his storage bag.

Shi Chengyun used his left palm to form a True Qi Furnace in mid-air, and after the dark purple medicinal powder entered the furnace, it began to emit a strange and intense purple light.

"Senior Zheng should be able to recognize what this is, right?" Shi Cheng asked.

Zheng Yidao nodded and said, "Naturally, I recognize it, it's Purple Flame Powder." ”

Later, in order to facilitate the integration of the Terran scouts, the Scouts of the Terran Race found a way to develop a medicinal powder that could simulate a purple beacon fire after being ignited, which was called Purple Flame Powder.

Tie Mian and Zhao Ping obviously knew about this medicinal powder, only Wu Neng was still a little unclear, but after Shi Cheng explained, he suddenly became enlightened.

In the lonely and dark night, the purple flame above Shi Cheng's left hand was quite eye-catching. After the purple flame powder was ignited, the convoy in the distance also stopped, and a big man in a black night robe stretched his neck to look in the direction of Shi Cheng, and then immediately ran to the largest carriage to report the signal he saw to the people inside.

Soon, the convoy was moving again.

Shi Cheng greeted everyone, and everyone put back their cloaks and masks, quietly waiting for the arrival of the "distinguished guest".

About two quarters of an hour later, the convoy appeared on the platform at the top of the hill, and the black-clad men in the two smaller carriages in front and behind came out of the carriages and formed a queue outside the carriages.

A sturdy man in black respectfully came to the curtain of the carriage in the middle and lifted the curtain for the guests inside.

The person who walked out at the head was a middle-aged man in his forties, who did not walk away directly after getting out of the car, but stood outside the curtain, as if waiting for the next person to come out.

Soon, a middle-aged man in gray who was dressed in luxury and was a little older walked out of the carriage.

Zheng Yidao and Zhao Ping glanced at each other, Wu Neng and Tie Mian's hearts also sank completely, and the four of them no longer had any doubts about Shi Cheng's judgment in their hearts.

The person who came down was Zhu Mingtao, the owner of Zhujia Villa.
