The banquet ended and everyone dispersed.
Zhu Li was the only one left in the hall.
She slowly drank the last glass of wine and waited for a moment. When Shen Ze left and came back, she whispered, "How was it?"
Shen Ze said seriously: "I sent people to carefully search their residences, including the house they purchased privately. The confidential correspondence between Zhu Xiao and the head of the family has not been interrupted, and the same is true for Zhu Tianhu and the great elder."
Zhu Li frowned slightly, stood up and walked to the door of the hall, looked at the night sky, and said: "These are what they want us to see. Apart from these, have they ever had any contact with those villains? With those who died these days Have you been in contact with some people?”
Shen Ze quickly said: "The brother who was assigned to Zhu Xiao mentioned something. The day before Huang Ding's death, Zhu Xiao disappeared for a while, and the wine he bought when he came back was on the same street as Huang Ding's shop. "
"So I speculate that Zhu Xiao has had contact with Huang Ding."
"anything else?"
"Zhu Xiao is secretly looking for someone who may be closely related to Huang Ding."
Zhu Li narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Select people like Huang Ding and find a reason to arrest a group first."
Shen Ze was slightly startled and took the initiative to confirm: "The city lord is the person who has had contact with Zhu Xiao?"
"No." Zhu Li turned around and looked at Shen Ze and said with a smile: "Who knows how many 'Zhu Xiao's there are in the city lord's mansion? I'm talking about people who are related to Zhu Yushan.
Shen Ze nodded bitterly.
Zhu Li sighed softly and said: "Originally, the Three Mountains Trial will be after the Burning Grain and Feeding the Fire, but he has a tough attitude and wants to postpone the date of the replacement of the old with the new. From the moment I knew the news, I knew that he would definitely do something What."
Shen Ze said: "I heard that the head of the family and the great elder have a bet. If Hongyan wins the first place in this trial, then Hongyan will not be the next Zhu Zong."
Zhu Li's eyes looked a little complicated and he said: "My sister and I are ashamed of their family. It would be a good thing if Hongyan can get first place."
Shen Ze really couldn't comment on the change of Zhu Zong, so let's get back to the business of tonight.
That group of villains were able to kill people under the eyes of the City Lord's Mansion without being discovered. It was most likely that the senior officials of the City Lord's Mansion were covering them up.
So Zhu Li took the opportunity of the dinner to invite everyone to the city lord's mansion, and at the same time sent people to carefully search the residences of these high-level officials.
After talking about what he found in Zhu Xiao's home, Shen Ze frowned slightly when he mentioned Zhu Tianhu: "Except for the secret message he left for us to find, Zhu Tianhu's home is too clean, and there is not even a trace of the formation prohibition."
Zhu Li said: "Zhu Tianhu's strength is not much worse than yours. It's normal for your subordinates not to notice that his arrangement is normal. I will call him to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow morning, and then you can go there in person."
Shen Ze nodded solemnly, thought of something and smiled bitterly: "I hope I can't find anything."
"You are so brave!"
In a large mansion somewhere in the east of the city, Zhu Tianhu stared at Zhou Qian and others who appeared in his home with an angry expression.
Zhou Qian sat calmly in Zhu Tianhu's seat, keeping his eyes on the sky-swallowing bowl in his hand, not caring about Zhu Tianhu's anger.
Zhou Ling, who put on a brand new black robe at the side, glanced at Zhu Tianhu coldly and said, "You should feel lucky that we didn't settle a score with you, instead of making noise here."
The pressure of the middle stage of the Holy King Realm instantly enveloped Zhu Tianhu. Zhu Tianhu was instantly alert to how many lives these people in front of him had on their hands, and explained: "That woman from Zhu Li has begun to doubt us leaders, and it was only then that I found out what happened today. "
Zhou Ling shook his head: "I'm afraid I've already suspected you."
Zhu Tianhu was shocked: "Did you meet Shen Ze's men?"
Zhou Ling smiled and said, "It seems like you don't know everything about the situation. Don't worry, even if Shen Ze comes here in person, he won't be able to discover our existence."
Zhu Tianhu still felt something was wrong, so he took off the Najie on his hand rather painfully, and said hesitantly: "There are some good elixirs in here, which should be able to help you."
Restore full strength as soon as possible. In addition, Zhu Li is suspicious by nature, and she may keep checking me, so..."
"Don't worry, we won't embarrass you."
Zhou Ling accepted Najie and asked, "Are there any Taoist masters at today's dinner party?"
"Yes." Zhu Tianhu said, "And Zhu Li has already invited this person."
Zhou Qian raised his eyes and asked, "What is this person's name?"
Zhu Tianhu was stunned. During the dinner, he was afraid that someone would be found dead at the banquet, so he did not pay too much attention to the Daozong group. He recalled carefully and hesitated: "I seem to have heard the city lord call Master Fang Xuan... but it was that young man. A disciple of the Dao Sect, I remember his name is ‘Zhe Qing.”
"Oriaki?"
"right."
Zhu Tianhu keenly heard the ups and downs of Zhou Qian's tone and said: "This young man and Zhu Hongyan became friends when they were in the Black Sea. Daozong is willing to help Zhu Li because of this relationship."
Zhou Ling stopped talking.
Zhou Qian popped out a jade slip to Zhu Tianhu and said, "When will you find me these weapons-refining materials, and when will we leave."
Zhu Tianhu took the jade slip, swept it away, and left directly.
The atmosphere in the room was quiet for a moment.
Zhou Ling said: "Gu Tian and his wife suddenly became smart and knew how to find helpers. Is it such a coincidence that people from the Dao Sect are in Nangui City? I remember that the Gu family and the Dao Sect do not have such a relationship. This 'Zhe Qinghui' Could it be Mu Qing?"
Zhou Feiying, who had been recovering from his injuries, suddenly opened his eyes and asked in surprise, "Then this Master Xuan is the shrew we met in the Gu family?"
Several people's eyes fell on Zhou Qian.
Zhou Qian's tone was calm: "Since he is working for that divine king, it will not be a surprise for him to come to Nangui City at this time."
Tantai Xuan had already left a shadow on Zhou Feiying. He touched his knees and said bitterly: "There must be more than one Saint King Realm master around this kid. If he discovered us today, why haven't we been able to sense his aura? "
"..."
Zhou Qian frowned and said nothing.
He really didn't sense Mu Qing's aura today. Who else is following him?
Did that sword fairy couple really become Mu Qing's personal bodyguards? Zhou Qian suddenly thought of the ancient mirror that flew into the sky-swallowing bowl, and had a vague guess.
Zhou Ling suddenly said angrily: "This guy is really hateful. The Heaven-Swallowing Bowl was almost completely repaired, but now it's still defective."
Zhou Feipeng suggested: "How about we expose their identities?"
Zhou Qian said indifferently: "If the ancient mirror that hit the Heaven-Swallowing Bowl is really the Yuan Guang Mirror of the Dao Sect, then our appearance may have been known to them."
"What?!" Several people were even more shocked.
When they take off their masks, they usually use illusions to cover their faces, but in front of treasures like Yuan Guangjing, it really doesn't make much sense.
Zhou Qian suddenly stood up and said, "Sooner or later, our identities will be exposed, and the relationship between Mu Qing and Meng Zhang is not a rumor. I think in this matter, he should understand that our identities can also become rumors. "
The atmosphere was relaxed.
Zhou Qian snorted coldly and looked at the two brothers Zhou Feiying who were leaning on their chairs with a bit of hatred, "We should have achieved a complete victory in the Gu family, but he messed up the situation and even swallowed the sky bowl." Damn, this time, I want him to die here!"
Zhou Ling said: "Tantai Xuan is just a person exposed on the surface."
Zhou Qian nodded: "The Yuan Guang Mirror is the most precious treasure of the Dao Sect and cannot be easily handed over to Mu Qing for use. Therefore, there should be a Dao Sect master beside Mu Qing, otherwise it would be impossible to hide his identity for so long."
Zhou Qian looked at Zhou Ling and said, "They should pass through the Western Mountains on their way west. You should contact the Lin family and ask if anyone from the Dao Sect has been to the Western Mountains."
"We've determined who is following him. It's up to you to hold this person while I go and kill him myself."
Zhou Ling hesitated and said, "Since we are cooperating with Zhu Jiyuan, can we ask Zhu Jiyuan for help?"
Zhou Qian said coldly: "Is Zhu Jiyuan a very cooperative person?"
"If there is too much movement, the matter of collecting Nirvana essence and blood can be put on hold."
Zhou Ling and others were a little surprised to see Zhou Qian being so serious.
Zhou Qian saw the change in their eyes and said dissatisfied: "Look at this son's footprints, the Three Immortals Island in the Black Sea, the Wuji Sword Sect in the Hengduan Mountains, and now the Zhu family in the Nanwang Mountains. I'm afraid he has collected at least The holy relics of two Immortal Emperor Realm powerhouses, he is the moving treasure!"
"Hiss~"
Zhou Ling and others' breathing slowed down unconsciously.
Zhou Qian looked at Zhu Tianhu who was striding this way and said, "It's time for Nangui City to become more chaotic."
On the second day, before dawn, Zhu Xiao personally ordered a team of guards to come to Wushuang Inn.
He originally thought that Mu Qing was still resting, but it turned out that Mu Qing was already sitting in the lobby eating breakfast.
"Blessings, Commander."
"You got up so early?"
Zhu Xiao came to sit down at Mu Qing's table, nodded to Murong Jing, and then glanced at the few guests in the inn, faithfully fulfilling the tasks assigned to him by Zhu Li.
Mu Qing said: "Commander Zhu, I saw those people yesterday. There is no way they could be the murderers who destroyed entire families."
Zhu Xiao nodded and suddenly looked at Mu Qing: "I thought about it for a long time when I came back last night. Your relationship with Hongyan seems to be better than I thought."
Mu Qing smiled and said, "Because she took us to her private residence?"
"Yes." Zhu Xiao said, "And Hongyan has been chasing the gang of thugs. Where did you meet them?"
Mu Qing wanted to gain Zhu Xiao's trust, so he told the truth: "Yesterday I followed Commander Zhu and entered the secret passage in Huang Ding's house after you left. Hongyan entered the secret passage before you."
"When I found her, she was being led into a trap."
Zhu Xiao stared at Mu Qing with her brows fixed: "So you almost watched the whole process, and the two of the Gu family..."
"They were going to break in directly, but I asked them to inform City Lord Zhu."
Zhu Xiao suddenly realized that he could no longer see through the young man in front of him. He digested the news silently. After a long time, he said expressionlessly: "You are very calm. I thank you on Hongyan's behalf."
Mu Qing said: "My relationship with Hongyan is not what you think, but it is closer than you think. I wonder if the head of the Zhu family has mentioned a place to you?"
Zhu Xiao was still guessing about the relationship between Mu Qing and Zhu Hongyan. Hearing this, his heart moved and he asked in surprise: "Suzaku City?"
Mu Qing nodded.
Zhu Xiao stood up suddenly, then sat down suddenly, no longer looking at Mu Qing, but at Murong Jing.
"Then this one..."
Mu Qing and Murong Jing took off their masks.
Mu Qing said: "Murong Jing, she is Hongyan's biological sister."
Zhu Xiao watched the two people return to their original appearance in front of them, and the shock in her heart became faster and faster. It took a long time before she realized that there were other people in the inn.
"Don't worry, they won't notice anything strange here."
A chuckle rang out, and Zhu Ling'er appeared at the side.
Zhu Xiao's eyes widened and she didn't know what to say.
While Zhu Xiao was still in shock, Mu Qing took out a list and said, "This is a list provided to me by Hongyan."
Zhu Xiao glanced at the names above and twitched his lips: "Hongyan has actually found these people."
Mu Qing paid attention to the length of Zhu Xiao's gaze and said, "You should know Hongyan's trust in us when you see this list. I want to know, what is your plan?"
Zhu Xiaoben was shocked by the continuous messages, and said subconsciously: "I am just a part of the second brother's plan. The real people are Huang Ding and others."
Mu Qing frowned: "You don't know the specific content of the plan?"
Zhu Xiao shook his head, "I just made it easier for Huang Ding and others to come and go, and was not involved in any specific matters... Moreover, as far as I know, Huang Ding only knows
part of the road plan. "
Murong Jing said: "Since you are connecting them, you should know who has the most contacts."
Zhu Xiao was startled, then hesitated.
Mu Qing said: "You and I know very well that those thugs are Zhu Jiyuan's people. If you slow down here, they will kill all the way and get rid of everyone on the list."
Zhu Xiao sighed and pointed at a name on the list.
Mu Qing looked at it and read out loud: "Huang Xing."
"He is Huang Ding's nephew. If anyone knows the second brother's plans the most, it must be this person." Zhu Xiao said.
"Where is he now?"
"I've been looking for him."
Mu Qing stood up and walked out of the inn, "Without further ado, let's continue looking for this person."
