Shi Cheng walked up to Zhu Mingtao's body, and after a brief glance, he squatted down and picked up the storage bag around Zhu Mingtao's waist.

Shi Cheng unlocked the ban on the storage bag and looked at the space inside.

"Good guy, this owner of Zhuda Zhuangzhuang really deserves to be the top rich man in the Western Desert, and there are really a lot of things in it."

The storage bag was full of spirit stones, gold jewelry, and spirit treasures. Rao is Shi Cheng couldn't help but feel some greed in his heart after seeing these treasures.

However, after seeing Zhao Ping and Zheng Yidao who were walking towards him, Shi Cheng quickly restrained himself, he quietly used an illusion, and then quickly made a move, stuffing some of the most important things in the storage bag into his pocket.

Of course, in the eyes of Zhao Ping, Zheng Yidao and Wu Neng, Shi Cheng simply looked at the contents of the bag, and only Tie Mian saw the clues, but of course he wouldn't say it.

Shi Cheng threw the storage bag to Zhao Ping, and then began to continue to search the rest of Zhu Mingtao's body.

However, the final result made him quite disappointed, and Zhu Mingtao had nothing else on his body except for the storage bag.

Zhao Ping took the storage bag and after carefully inspecting the contents of the bag, he finally handed the storage bag back to Shi Cheng.

Shi Cheng asked with some surprise, "Lord Zhao, who are you?" ”

Zhao Ping sighed and said: "There are a lot of things in it, but it's a pity that I can't use them as evidence, after all, your attack on Zhu Mingtao is not legal and legal, since this is the case, this storage bag should be handed over to you." ”

After saying this, Zhao Ping's eyes turned to Zhu Mingtao's body, "But in my heart, Shi Cheng, you did a good job, I didn't expect that the poisoning case really had his share!" This kind of animal that is inferior to pigs and dogs is not a pity to die a hundred times! ”

After speaking, Zhao Ping handed over the storage bag to Shi Cheng, "Shi Cheng, I would like to express my gratitude to you for all the victims in the Dengnangang poisoning case!" ”

Shi Cheng returned the storage bag, and Zhao Ping's move was beyond his expectations.

"Then you're welcome." Shi Cheng was not hypocritical, and accepted it generously, "Eliminating evil and punishing evil is a matter for my generation of monks." ”

Zheng Yidao walked over, and his eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Shi Cheng.

"Shi Daoyou, you...... turned out to be really the descendant of Shi Daxia. After seeing Ku Rong's magic power with his own eyes, Zheng Yidao no longer had any doubts about Shi Cheng's identity.

Zhao Ping, and even Wu Neng and Tie Mian had the last doubts about Shi Cheng's identity in their hearts.

"If only a few people would like to believe me." Shi Cheng said with a smile, since he came to the Southern Wilderness, this moment is a rare time for him to feel comfortable.

Everyone went to search the body of the man in black who followed Zhu Mingtao again, but still found nothing, and after making sure that nothing was missing, Shi Cheng waved his right hand and burned all the corpses with a fierce fire.

……

"Thank you both for coming tonight." At the foot of the mountain, Shi Cheng and the three said goodbye to Zhao Ping and Zheng Yidao.

"Shi Daoyou, don't worry, there is an old man in the middle, you don't have to worry that the letter between you and Zhao Ping will be intercepted by the internal guards." Zheng Yidao patted his chest and said.

Zhao Ping also said: "I will agree with Senior Zheng on the format of the ciphertext between the two of us, as for Shi Cheng, after settling down in Lingnan County, send a letter to Huibao Pavilion, Jincheng He will find a way to contact Senior Zheng." ”

"Then thank you two, Shi Cheng has nothing to repay, he will definitely try his best to find out their lair after going to the Eastern Continent, and return peace to the world! As for whether the Lu clan on the side of the Southern Wilderness will have other actions, I will bother the two of you to pay more attention. After saying this, Shi Cheng solemnly hugged his fists and performed a common Jianghu salute between East and West.

"Okay, then let's leave it at that, I have to go back early, there seems to be a big incident on the internal guard's side, and I'm afraid I can't loosen this string before being transferred to the west." Zhao Ping rubbed his brow as he spoke.

Shi Cheng was silent, he looked at each other with Tie Mian and Wu Neng, and didn't say anything.

"Shi Daoyou, the old man is also gone, I wish you a smooth journey." Zheng Yidao arched his hand.

"Be careful on the road." Zhao Ping also said.

"Don't worry." Shi Cheng nodded, "Everyone, we will meet again." ”

After the group of five people said goodbye, they left Qingshi Mountain separately.

Now that it has entered the curfew, the four gates of the royal city are closed, and only people with the status of Zhao Ping and Zheng Yidao can be allowed to enter the city, and Shi Cheng and the three of them will never be able to.

Originally, Zhao Ping planned to use his identity as an official to make it convenient for Shi Cheng, but Shi Cheng didn't want to bring unnecessary trouble to Zhao Ping at this sensitive moment because of his identity, so he finally declined. Seongseoksan is very close to Wangseong, and there are many villages and towns in the Gyeonggi area outside Wangseong, and Seok Seung, who has studied the map of Gyeonggi, knows very well that he can find an inn to stay in as long as he walks a little south.

After Shi Cheng and the three found the inn, the time had already passed.

The innkeeper on night duty yawned while arranging a bunk room for Shi Cheng and the three of them, and Shi Cheng entered the house with his two companions after paying for the room for the night.

After entering the house, Shi Cheng waved his hand and cast a soundproof spell throughout the room.

After doing all this, he sat down in a chair and looked at Wu Neng quietly with his two eyes.

Wu Neng hadn't spoken much on the way down the mountain, and his mental state was also fluctuating, he knew that the words he blurted out tonight had disrupted Shi Cheng's original plan, so he hurriedly apologized: "Old Shi, I'm sorry......"

"Wu Neng, I hope this is the last sentence I heard from you, I'm sorry." Shi Cheng said expressionlessly.

"Okay, everything has happened, it's useless for you to stare at it here, let's sort out tonight's harvest first." Iron Mask said lightly.

Wu Neng's head was lower, and his face was full of shame.

Shi Cheng glanced at Wu Neng again, and then spoke: "Tie Mian, you should still remember what I told you on the way to Wangcheng about Wu Neng's life experience, right?" ”

Iron Mask replied, "Is that the mechanism magician surnamed Ling?" I heard from the two of you at the time that there was a traitor when the Yanmen was destroyed, and Ling Xuan, the fifth elder of the sect, betrayed the sect. ”

Wu Neng nodded lightly.

Shi Cheng said, "You also know that after the Yanmen disappeared, the cultivators of the Mechanic Sect were almost extinct in the heavens and the earth. Therefore, although it cannot be concluded that the person in Zhu Mingtao's mouth must be Ling Xuan, the probability itself is already very large. ”

"Do you remember when we found traces of engineering materials stored in the warehouse of the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce? And Zhao Ping told us that the grain in the relief warehouse was poisoned by the murderer through the tunnel, and now it seems that there may be such a possibility that the tunnel used for poisoning was completed under the auspices of this machine magician surnamed Ling. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Cheng looked at Wu Neng, "In the operation to destroy your Yanmen back then, the Lu clan may have contributed more than I thought before. ”

"That's how it should be." Wu Neng clenched his fists, "Old Shi, do you think Ling Xuan will still be in the Southern Wilderness now?" ”

"It's hard to say." Shi Cheng shook his head, "We can also get confirmation from Zhu Mingtao's mouth before, that is, the power of the Lu clan is shrinking and retreating from the Southern Wilderness. ”

Tie Mian said lightly: "It just so happens that we are going to the Eastern Continent next, if they retreat to the Eastern Continent, maybe we will have to deal with that surnamed Ling in the future." ”

"Wherever he flees, I'm going to find him." Wu Neng's eyes seemed to be lit with flames, "I want to ask him face to face, why did he betray the sect back then!" ”

Shi Cheng looked at Wu Neng with some surprise, after experiencing multiple crises along the way, he found that the young mechanism magician had also become a lot more brave and determined. At this time, Wu Neng was not like when he was in Redwood City, when he mentioned that he wanted to find Ling Xuan, there was anger, hesitation and fear in his eyes.

Shi Cheng took out the spirit treasures he found from Zhu Mingtao's storage bag, and then placed them on the table one by one.

"This thing seems to be the Lingyuan Blue Vine we saw at the auction of Huibao Pavilion that day, and this is the token we used as bait today, this black cloak...... Hehe, sure enough, this owner is the real Huang Yuan. ”

After saying this, Shi Cheng looked at the two companions: "Zhu Mingtao may have other Huang Yuan stand-ins, it may be a cronie of Zhujia Villa, or it may be a member of the Lu clan, after all, Huang Yuan often acts in the western part of the Western Desert, and Zhu Mingtao cannot be outside the house at all times." Of course, now it seems that Huang Yuan, who single-handedly founded the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce, and Huang Yuan, who appeared in the royal city, may be played by this big owner. ”

"Throw away the burden of the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce, and this big farmer doesn't need to run around with a clone."

As he spoke, Shi Cheng picked up the cloak and probed it with his spiritual power for a while, Shi Cheng shook his head solemnly and said, "There are indeed traces of the Grandmaster's sacrifice, but with my cultivation, I can't find it clearly." ”

"In other words, within the current remnant party of the Lu clan, there are indeed masters of the Grandmaster Realm in charge." Tiemian was also very worried, "I just don't know how many there are?" ”

"Don't worry, if there is, there won't be much, otherwise they don't need to be hidden." Shi Cheng comforted, "Among the three of us, there are two half-step grandmasters, you and me, and we pay more attention to cultivation when tracking down the Lu Clan, and we will also have two Grandmasters who have completed the Eight Classics in the future." ”

Tie Mian nodded, and then said with some regret: "It's a pity that I didn't have time to test Zhu Mingtao about what happened on the Xieyang Road." ”

"It's not that there is no way at all, we can make a guess." Shi Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Judging from the clues we have learned so far, the tasks of the Lu tribe in the Western Desert Country are probably as follows: first, to transport corpses; second, to experiment with new toxins; Third, transport Lingbao or other important items. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Cheng glanced at his two companions and continued: "Fourth, create chaos in the Southern Wilderness and provoke disputes between foreign powers!" This should also be an important purpose for them to create poisoning cases. ”

Tie Mian and Wu Neng glanced at each other, both of them nodded, after seeing the chaos and tense atmosphere in the city in the past few days, they also very agreed with Shi Cheng's opinion.

Shi Cheng said: "Therefore, Hu Enli's private task is most likely inseparable from the above categories. Judging from what we have learned, the reason why the Hu family's caravan encountered a great change on the Xieyang Road may be that their men have discovered the true face of the goods they are carrying. ”

"Yes, this is what Hu Tianming said himself, unless he lied to us." Iron Mask said.

Shi Cheng nodded and said, "Hu Enli used some means to temporarily buy the caravan guys who found the problem, but for the sake of exterminating the mouth or other ulterior purposes, he and the Lu clan still joined forces to kill everyone in the caravan on the Xieyang Road. ”

"But the sudden disappearance of a whole caravan is really terrifying, if only Hu Enli comes back alive, then it will definitely attract the investigation of people with a heart, in order to avoid trouble, Hu Enli dressed himself as a victim, and temporarily stayed in Yunqiu City in the name of recuperation. As for the intrigue between him and the Lu Clan after he returned from the Xieyang Road, only he and the members of the Lu Clan who participated in this matter knew about it. ”

"Maybe things are exactly what you guessed." Tie Mian said, "But the top priority now is the key that Hu Tianming said." Shi Cheng, have you ever found the key in Hu Tianming's mouth in Zhu Mingtao's storage bag? ”

"Yes."

Shi Cheng took out Zhu Mingtao's storage bag, and then took out all the keys.

One of the keys was brilliant, and there was a faint aura flowing inside.

Wu Neng pointed to the key with aura and asked, "Old Shi, could it be this one?" ”

Shi Cheng took the key and looked at it for a while, and said, "There is a high probability, but it is not ruled out that there are other possibilities, no matter what, the things I got from Zhu Mingtao today have to be saved." Except, of course, spirit stones, treasures, and gold jewelry, which can be used to supplement our travel expenses. ”

"If you don't take it, you don't take it for nothing." Iron Mask looked at the window, "It's the middle of the night, let's rest early, I'm going to leave here tomorrow morning." ”

Shi Cheng said to Wu Neng: "Wu Neng, hurry up and sleep, the gate of the royal city will probably open at the beginning of the hour, and we will leave after resting here for two hours." When the time comes, we should sneak back to Yulin Lane as soon as possible, lest they find out that we are not at home. ”
