Qin Muzhi, who had been waiting here for a long time, felt the innate momentum from the drunkard when he saw Qin Siyuan leading two traveling businessmen in their thirties quickly here.
He stood up hurriedly and welcomed the two of them to the place where they had just rested. First, he ordered people to get some dry food and water, and then said: "Senior, this trip must be dangerous! When Mu Zhi was doing business in various places these days, he specifically inquired about the movements of the Demon Underworld Palace. He always saw that the spirits did not move. I thought senior was not in any danger."
"But yesterday, I suddenly saw countless spirits and monsters coming out. Even the village masters from various peaks and villages came out with more than a hundred commanders under their command. I knew something must have happened to you."
"Mu Zhi didn't dare to delay any longer. After finishing some things at hand, he came back here overnight to wait for senior. I was really afraid that I would be late and miss senior's schedule."
Seeing Qin Muzhi diligently bringing some food, the drunkard ate some at will and said: "Thank you, the Qin family master is still thinking about me. But now, the entire Yaoming Palace is in motion, tracing the whereabouts of the old man. The Qin family master is not afraid Do you want to anger Northern Pluto and cut off your own financial path?"
It's no wonder that a drunkard would ask this. Once the power of Yaoming Palace is huge, Qin Muzhi's Qin family is definitely no match for him. Secondly, although Qin Muzhi also practices the way of heaven, his Qin family is not a monastic sect. The trade route is the basis for their foothold in Kyushu. There is no guarantee that the family business will be cut off because of an outsider like him.
What's more, he, Qin Muzhi, might have secretly contacted Yaoming Palace, told the whereabouts of the two of them, and waited for them to show up, attracting the North Pluto King and his crowd to capture them.
However, this last option is extremely unlikely. No matter what, Drunkard has saved Qin Muzhi and the Qin family several times. Even if Qin Muzhi was unwilling to take risks and help them escape, he would definitely not collude with Yaoming Palace to design a capture for them.
Qin Muzhi's face changed drastically. Before he could put down what he was holding, he knelt on his knees in front of the drunkard: "Senior, you always say this, but you don't trust me, Qin Muzhi! Don't say it's because of you that you always offend the whole world. Even if I risk my life and become the enemy of the whole world, my entire Qin family will go through fire and water without mercy!"
"Oops, the leader of the Qin family made a strong statement!" The drunkard held Qin Muzhi with both hands and pulled him to sit next to him: "I said this because I am afraid that I will implicate you sons of the Qin family."
"Without the help of seniors several times, how could we, the Qin family, have so many sons and daughters, and how could we be in trouble!" Qin Muzhi's eyes were firm: "What Mu Zhi said just now was all from the bottom of his heart. I hope seniors can understand clearly. !”
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the drunkard had already observed the entire Qin family and the surrounding situation. Nothing suspicious was found, and he knew that what Qin Muzhi said was sincere and had no intention of deceiving him.
"Okay! Since the Master of the Qin family is so sincere, then if I, the drunkard, have any concerns, I will miss the good intentions of the Qin family." The drunkard laughed and said, "My master and apprentice will definitely remember this kindness."
Relieve the doubts in your heart, the drunkard is no longer in the mother-in-law and mother-in-law. He and Mu Jingyu ate some dry food and rested for an hour. After regaining some energy, they still dressed up as servants of the Qin family and followed many carriages toward Longshou Mountain not far away. go.
The closer you get to Longshou Mountain, the more spirits gather around you. Really, there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, checking the caravans coming and going.
Fortunately, Qin Muzhi has been doing business here for many years and is very familiar with these spirits. After various arrangements along the way, we successfully arrived at the pass in front of Longshou Mountain.
I saw more than a hundred spirits gathered outside this pass. In the darkness, there were dozens of spirits in the Guiyuan stage of cultivation, secretly sizing up these caravans coming in and out.
"Master Qin, this journey has gone smoothly." Finally it was the Qin family's caravan's turn, and a commander who had been guarding here five days ago accepted the ultimatum handed over by Qin Muzhi.
"The past few days have been going well. Mu Zhi thanks Commander Hu for his concern." Qin Muzhi laughed and asked pretending to be unintentional: "It's just that yesterday, I saw many commanders of your palace dispatched to strengthen the entire Nanhai Zhanzhou. Inspection, but what happened?"
Commander Hu glanced sideways at him and lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the drunkard took a boy named Mu and sneaked into our Demon Underworld Palace. It seems that he went to Dan Chan Mountain to steal the elixir. The Qi Jue scholar in Zhen Lei Ze was persuaded, and Fairy Chang He, the leader of the four fairies, was also involved."
Qin Muzhi handed over a money bag without leaving a trace: "What do you mean, your palace's interrogation was much stricter along the way. Many people who were doing business alone were arrested! I hope Commander Hu will take care of them later. Second, let my Qin family’s caravan go out smoothly.”
"Master Qin, don't worry. I don't trust others. Your Qin family is well-known in Jiuzhou. Your background and contact procedures are complete and complete. How can I still not trust you despite my nonsense?"
While speaking, Commander Hu had already stuffed the money bag into his arms. He just glanced at a beautiful woman sitting not far away, and whispered again: "After the inspection is completed, you should go out quickly. If Fairy Lu Sang sees the clues, there will be some trouble. .”
The drunkard, who had been hiding in the caravan with his head shrunken, heard the words "Lu Sang Fairy" and quietly raised his head to look at the woman who was not far away, then hurriedly lowered his head, fearing to attract her attention.
"Master, who is Fairy Lu Sang?" Mu Jingyu saw the drunkard looking suspicious and took a few steps closer to ask.
"That Fairy Lu Sang is one of the four fairies in Yaoming Palace. She is the best at tracking and finding traces. You should return to where you were right away to avoid arousing her suspicion."
In just this moment, the little demons had checked all the people and goods according to the number of people and goods recorded in the document. After finding nothing suspicious, they all returned to Commander Hu.
"Master Qin, I just did a routine inspection. Because there was a reason, I took a little more time. I hope you can forgive me." Commander Hu smiled and returned the document to Qin Muzhi.
"It should be, it should be. Commander Hu said this, but it's a shame." Qin Muzhi laughed a few times. When he saw the little demon guarding the entrance, he moved the roadblock at the mountain pass and raised his hand with a big hand. He waved and led the Qin family's caravan slowly inside.
But when the Qin family members disappeared deep into the cave, Commander Hu put away his smile and handed over the documents for the next caravan to his deputy, while he walked quickly to the other side. In the distance, next to Fairy Lu Sang who had been sitting upright.
"Commander Hu, have you discovered anything?" Fairy Lu Sang picked up a piece of dried fruit with her jade fingers and gently brought it to her mouth.
Commander Hu nodded, took out the bag of silver from his arms, approached Fairy Lu Sang and said, "Just now, when my subordinates were checking the Qin family's caravan, the head of the Qin family inquired intentionally or unintentionally. Some things happened yesterday. I even took out some silver to bribe my subordinates, hoping that I would relax the search and let them pass smoothly."
Fairy Lu Sang's beautiful eyes rolled around. After looking at the exit, she smiled and said, "Since the Qin family pays filial piety to you, Commander Hu just accept it. If the drunkard and the boy named Mu really get involved, This fairy will report back to King Bei Pluto and record a merit for you."
Commander Hu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, Hu Lai, for your kind words! But next... what should we do?"
Fairy Lu Sang stood up, stretched and said, "Stop the remaining caravan and don't let anyone enter Longshou Mountain. I don't have to worry about the rest, Commander Hu."
"I obey!" Hu Lai got the command and left quickly. He turned around and commanded the little demon guarding the place, and drove the remaining caravans away.
Fairy Lu Sang called a little demon next to her and told him to tell Fairy Chi Mei and others who were not far away to rush here quickly. Then, through the Thousand Miles Sound Insect, he informed the two people, Mountain Elephant King and Fuyao Fairy, who were guarding the exit at the other end, about what was discovered here.
Everyone in the Qin family entered the cave with anxiety. When we reached the middle, we didn't find any monsters chasing us, so we felt a little relieved.
As long as they can successfully pass through the exit at the other end of Longshou Mountain, they will have completely escaped from the sphere of influence of Yaowei Palace.
But when everyone in the Qin family walked more than half the distance through the Longshou Mountain passage, they suddenly found that the long and dark cave suddenly became quiet.
"Stop!" The drunkard suddenly realized something strange, raised his arms suddenly, and stopped everyone in the Qin family who were walking silently.
"Senior, what have you discovered?" Qin Muzhi was walking not far ahead. After hearing the drunkard's low drink, he turned back and came to the drunkard's side.
The drunkard first stopped Qin Muzhi's inquiry, then listened for a moment, and then asked: "Master Qin, I remember a few days ago, when we entered the realm of Yaoming Palace from here, although the caravans connected to the front and back were separated by a long distance, It's far away, but it's not like it is now. Our caravan is the only one left in the entire cave."
"Oh, it turns out that senior has some doubts about this matter." Qin Muzhi originally thought that the drunkard had discovered something suspicious, but when he heard that it was because of this, he suddenly stopped and laughed.
"You don't know this. Whenever something big happens in Yaowei Palace, the investigation at Longshou Mountain will be strengthened. The time required for this will definitely increase exponentially. So, like this Our caravan is the only one in the entire cave whose situation is normal, so you don’t have to worry."
Listening to Qin Muzhi's explanation being reasonable, the drunkard nodded slightly. But in my heart, I still can't completely relax: "Master Qin, I think we should speed up the pace and leave here as soon as possible."
"Mu Zhi understands. Now tell the boys to move faster and leave here."
After Qin Muzhi shouted a few words loudly, a group of Qin family members followed suit and increased their strength, pushing dozens of carriages and speeding towards the outside of the cave.
The drunkard followed in the middle of the convoy, looking around as he walked, for fear that the spirits from the Demon Hades Palace would suddenly appear here. After all, this cave is located in the belly of Longshou Mountain, and only the front and rear exits are connected. Once someone blocks it from the front and back, it will be really difficult to fly.
Everyone walked forward for another two or three miles. Except for the silence, no other suspicious things happened. However, Qin Muzhi, who was originally calm, gradually became serious.
Just now, the drunkard had become suspicious of this too-silent cave, but he had been coming here for many years and was not surprised by these situations. However, after such a long time, it stands to reason that the next caravan should be entering. But he listened carefully and found no caravan coming in.
Could it be that...the spirits of Yaoming Palace really discovered that Jiugui and Mu Jingyu were hiding inside. At that time, considering the drunkard's cultivation, he pretended not to notice anything. After letting everyone in the Qin family enter, he blocked the exits at both ends and tried to catch turtles in an urn?
The more Qin Muzhi thought about it, the more panicked he became. He waved to Qin Siyuan and ordered him to go to Mu Jingyu's side to guard against possible dangers. Then he came to the drunkard again and expressed his worries again.
After listening to Qin Muzhi's analysis, the drunkard felt a little worried, but he still tried to persuade Qin Muzhi with a few words.
"Master Qin, I think this mountain road is coming to an end. We haven't found anything unusual yet, so let's not be suspicious. Why don't we two go ahead and take a look at the situation first? If any unexpected situation occurs, we will join forces. Fight out, and when you get out of here, I will be fully confident that I can protect you, the son of the Qin family, and escape!"
