"I know you have a special constitution. You must have noticed something when you were uneasy just now. Come on, let's feel it carefully..." In the inn room, Chen Dengming picked up the formation plate and prepared to continue questioning and checking the uneasy person. The reason why.
The small formation spirit itself is a spiritual body, and its perception is different from that of ordinary people, and it is very sensitive. This keen perception has helped him avoid trouble at critical moments many times, otherwise he would not have frequently trained in the Jinxiufang wilderness.
Once you feel something, there must be a certain reason, and it will not be caught in the wind. ...The wind must be unstoppable, and the shadow cannot be caught.
But the rumors that some people heard were not just watching the wind and catching shadows. When Xu Ning, who was far away at the gathering place, heard such a rumor, he had already sent people in advance to check the authenticity of the source of the rumor.
And now, the people he sent have successfully brought him back good news - the current prosperous Gu market in Jinxiufang is indeed run by Master Hu, and Master Hu does have a collaborator who knows how to make Gu. partner.
After hearing the news, Xu Ning already knew that he had finally found the person he had been searching for for so long.
However, what displeased him was that the other party actually cooperated with Mr. Hu. Nowadays, life is very comfortable, and he makes a good living by selling Gu products. Although it is not as large as the several Gu refining fields at the gathering place, it is still absolutely wealthy.
But when he got the news, he already had a mature plan. This plan had already taken root and sprouted as early as the moment it fell into the quagmire.
Until half a month ago, when he accidentally and quietly learned about a transaction between the Zhu family and a certain mysterious person, the weeds sprouting in his heart grew crazily and got out of control.
But now that he is in his current position, it is difficult to leave the gathering place easily. Even if I have a great plan, I still have no excuse to implement it.
But now, he has an excuse. The young master of the Zhu family has a very good vision and has always been interested in the art of refining Gu.
To this day, I guess the interest is still there. This would be a perfect opportunity for him to get out of the quagmire of the gathering place and get away from the meat grinding ground on the border of Wanli.
Chen Dengming will become the prey and victim of his plan. ...In the inn room, Chen Dengming frowned and put down the array disk. After pondering for a moment, he continued his spiritual communication with the little array spirit.
"In other words, the ominous feeling you had just now was just a sudden premonition?"
"Yes, yes, it can only be said to be an unknown premonition... It seems that the slave family seems to have a certain scene from his past life flashing through his mind. Well, it seems to be related to the person who refined the slave family into the formation spirit. It’s related to the Yin Gui Sect monks, but, but, I can’t catch them…”
"The scene from his lifetime...? Is it related to the Yin Gui Sect monks?" Chen Dengming pondered deeply, then walked to the window and opened it, looking at the crowded streets below.
"Could it be that a monk from the Yin Ghost Sect came to Jinxiufang, and some kind of special aura stimulated the little formation spirit? That made her uneasy..." Chen Dengming could only give such a more reasonable explanation for the time being. explain.
If so, it doesn't matter. Even if a monk from the Yin Gui Sect really came to Jinxiufang and passed by, he would not inexplicably become enemies with him.
However, this kind of sect monk may have a way to detect ghosts and ghosts. He has to practice in a low-key manner for a while and hide the little formation spirit, but he can't let anyone snatch this precious thing away.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door. The little formation spirit was frightened and retracted into the formation disk with only two eyes exposed to peek.
"Brother Chen Dao, Mr. Tiger asked me to bring you a message, saying that the fish smelled fishy and came out of the nest. Are you ready to kill the fish? If you are not ready, you should avoid it first... "...
"The fish came out of the nest? It happened quite quickly."
"The tiger is asking me if my throat is big now, and asking me to decide whether to eat the fish or avoid it to avoid fish bones getting stuck in my throat." Chen Denming dismissed the person who came to deliver the message with a smile on his lips. His eyes reveal thoughtfulness and sharpness.
This code word sounded a little incomprehensible, but he naturally knew what it meant and had even predicted it, so he was not surprised now.
The specific reason for this begins with the conditions he and Master Hu had promised each other when they initially established a cooperative relationship at the Yunlai Inn.
As early as when he decided to cooperate with Hu Ye to sell Gu in Jinxiu Square, Chen Dengming had already prepared for the rainy day, foreseeing that the hot Gu market in Jinxiu Square would attract the attention of Xu Ning at the gathering place in the future.
After all, Qian Yuan just opened some small workshops to sell pirated Gu products, and the news spread to the gathering place.
It is impossible to block the news in the even more prosperous genuine Gu market. As long as Xu Ning and the Zhu family are still interested in voodoo and voodoo refining, they are likely to be interested in it again.
At that time, whether the other party wants to continue to come to seek cooperation or has other ideas, they will take action.
What Chen Dengming considered at the time was that no matter what plans the Zhu family and Xu Ning had, he would never cooperate with them again to avoid getting involved in the troublesome whirlpool of family disputes.
As long as he stays here in Jinxiufang, with the relationship of the business alliance and the interests of Gu as a guarantee, even the Zhu family is out of reach to deal with him.
Of course, this is also the case when the Zhu family will not use great efforts. But as long as you think about it clearly with your buttocks, it is impossible for the Zhu family to mobilize troops for the benefit of this small amount of resources.
Only Xu Ning. In Chen Dengming's conjecture, if someone from the Zhu family was really interested in refining Gu, Xu Ning would be the most likely to come to him as a dog-legger.
After all, other monks with the fourth or fifth level of Qi training may not be able to defeat him. The failure of Tielin Hall's operation in the past is proof of this.
A month ago, after Chen Dengming anticipated this situation, he had already set up a response plan with Master Hu.
Xu Ning betrayed and used him many times. If you still covet the Gu refining technique in his hand, there is no way for him to avoid it.
If you have enough strength, you must design something to get rid of this threat once and for all. Only in this way can you remove the cancer and kill the threat.
But now...this thing actually happened a little faster than expected...In Chen Dengming's most perfect vision, Xu Ning discovered it only when he broke through to the sixth level of Qi training twenty days later. The situation here in Jinxiufang is to prepare to take action against him.
However, this kind of perfect idea cannot be fulfilled after all.
"Xu Ning is a big fish, but my throat is not small now. The fishing net I have prepared for more than a month is already strong. I have to calculate mentally but not intentionally... As long as he really comes, I will be ready to eat fish." Already." Chen Denming stretched out his palm, and the Ice Spirit Sword buzzed into his palm, exuding an awe-inspiring cold air, and the blade's light flowed, filling the room.
At the same time, another magical weapon that looked like a golden gong flew out of the storage bag and floated in front of him, emitting a dense spiritual light.
This is the middle-grade defensive magic weapon he bought from the dark shop for thirty-five low-grade spiritual stones half a month ago - [Geng Golden Gong].
As a defensive weapon refined from gold-type spiritual materials, it is very handy to use his high-grade gold-type spiritual roots to drive it.
He waved his hand, put away the magic weapon and walked out of the room, going to inform Jiang Qiang that he was ready to eat fish. Once the plan to hunt down the big fish Xu Ning is implemented, the formation arranged by Jiang Qiang will also be a top priority.
The formation can not only trap the fish and make it difficult for them to escape, but also can create a containment at the critical moment of their own evacuation. Chen Dengming either doesn't take action, but once he takes action, he must make use of all available advantages to make sure nothing goes wrong.
...Soon, four days passed. In one of the elegantly decorated shops under the Shangmeng League, Mr. Hu pretended to be grandiose, smoking his pipe, laughing, picking up his wine bowl, and entertaining the distinguished guests from afar.
"Master Xu has come from afar, and I, Thunder Tiger, hastily welcomed him. Don't be offended if the reception is not good. I will drink this glass of wine first as a token of respect!" After he said that, he raised the wine bowl and drank it with the bottom of the bowl turned upside down. Then he raised his sleeves, wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, and laughed. A beautiful maid immediately stepped forward to pour wine for Xu Ning.
"Hey -" Xu Ning raised her hand to stop him with a smile, turned the wine bowl upside down on the table, and explained in front of Master Hu's frown.
"Fellow Daoist Lei, I have come here to discuss business with you. If the discussion is successful, it will not be too late to drink again."
"Oh?" Master Hu's eyes flashed and he said with a smile,
"Master Xu, if you have something important to do, it doesn't matter. As long as I, Thunder Tiger, can help, I will do my best to help you." After saying this, he waved his hand, and all the maids and servants around him walked out of the hall in a sensible manner.
Xu Ning smiled faintly, took out a storage bag and placed it on the table, saying,
"Xu has long heard that the Gu market here in Jinxiufang is suddenly selling hot. Why do you, Fellow Daoist Lei, pretend to be deaf and dumb with me? If you are willing to cooperate with me as in the past, wouldn't it be better if we join forces? Are you better at cooperating with a kid who has no background and energy? My visit this time also brings the sincerity of the Fourth Young Master of the Zhu family." He said, pushing the storage bag forward.
"Oh~~" Master Hu raised his eyebrows slightly, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Master Xu, you also know that I, Mr. Hu, have always been known for my loyalty in the gathering place. That fellow Daoist Chen is wandering around, and since he is willing to come to me, he recognizes my loyalty. Isn't that true of you? You want me to betray Daoyou Chen, but you want me to cross out the word "meaning"..."
"Huh?" Xu Ning's eyes turned cold, his face was as dark as water, and he suddenly smiled,
"It seems that Mr. Xu has underestimated you, Fellow Daoist Lei. Are you really unwilling to give Fourth Young Master Zhu a piece of thin noodles?"
"Hahahaha..." Mr. Hu suddenly laughed, shook his head and said,
"It's not that I don't want to give it. In fact, this word of righteousness is the foundation for my Leihuhu to gain a foothold in the business world. If Xu Daoyou wants to buy this word of righteousness, he has to..." He stretched out two fingers and rubbed them, seemingly The rough and arrogant face showed an unbecoming philistine and cunning look.
"More money!" Xu Ning narrowed his eyes, a ray of light passed through his eyes, but he sneered in his heart.
This Thunder Tiger was just as he expected. He seemed to be a heroic and straightforward man, but in fact he was cunning, cunning and greedy.
But that's fine, he feels more at ease. If the other party didn't act so greedy and agree to cooperate with him, he would actually have doubts in his heart.
"What do you want? Make some conditions."
"It should be said that it's what you want. When you meet Daoyou Chen, are you planning to ask him to meet outside the city? Otherwise, you don't have to go through me."
"Smart. I know your Taoist Lei's methods. Money can make all the difference. Although Taoist Chen is extremely cautious, he is also greedy for money. You must have a way to make him meet me outside the city."
"You believe in me so much, I will try my best, but there is no guarantee that it will be successful. I will personally deliver him to the city gate, and then watch you all meet, so that he will feel at ease."
"Why don't you send him out of the city yourself? Maybe that will make it easier for him to agree."
"I, Lei Hu, are just a businessman. I don't want to get involved in any troubles that have nothing to do with money."
"Okay!" The last trace of doubt in Xu Ning's heart was eliminated. He took a deep look at Lei Hu, agreed with a smile, and picked up the upside-down wine bowl.
He didn't want Lei Huhu to lead people to escort Chen Dengming out of the city, because he also had other plans, and all the benefits he promised Lei Huhu were just verbal promises.
"Happy cooperation!" Lei Huhu smiled and poured wine for Xu Ning himself. After drinking, the matter can be said to be settled, and the defenses built up between the two parties can be dulled by the drink.
...Things are progressing more smoothly than Xu Ning imagined. He believes that as long as the money is available, anything can be done quickly.
But what Xu Ning didn't know was that Chen Dengming had already anticipated that he might come to Jinxiufang to cause trouble a month ago, and had already made plans with Mr. Hu to deal with him.
This method of preparing for a rainy day, anticipating the enemy's actions one month in advance, and setting up traps to plot people in advance, has gradually become effective in recent days, making even the participant Hu Ye feel chilled.
For several nights, Master Hu tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. I just feel that it is really terrible and unwise to be an enemy of someone like Chen Dengming.
This fish seller has probably read three thousand military books by heart, and may have already thought about how to deal with him if he dares to rebel and cooperate with Xu Ning.
Every time he thought about this, Mr. Hu became even more awe-struck and frightened, feeling that the two co-cultivating couples he was hiding in the east of the city were not safe.
Therefore, when Xu Ning negotiated with him with a sure-win attitude, Mr. Hu classified Xu Ning as a fool in his heart and sold Xu Ning.
According to Chen Dengming's instructions, he informed Xu Ning that he would invite Chen Dengming to meet near Qihe in the wilds of Jinxiufang. There was no guarantee whether Chen Dengming would bring one or two subordinates with him.
Qihe is not far from the north gate of Jinxiufang, only two miles. Standing on the top of the North Gate and looking far away, you can see the situation on the river bank.
The channel of this river leads directly to the underground river of Mingyun Mountain, extending in all directions, with many undercurrents and forks. Chen Dengming chose to meet Xu Ning nearby because he considered that this would be an excellent route for a quick escape in the event of a capsize in the sewer.
Even if the enemy wants to pursue him, he will easily lose him because he is not familiar with the route. Plan to retreat before fighting.
After planning all these safety issues and evacuation routes, he can be invincible. This is a fishing net he has carefully prepared for his opponents for more than a month during actual training... …………
