As the night deepened, in a secluded house in the east of the city, Zhu Tianlong strode into the room. After seeing several figures in the room, his face instantly darkened.
"How brave you are!"
Zhou Qian looked calm and pointed to the table beside him.
There is a simple bronze lamp placed on the table. There is a thin black flame on the lamp, which is constantly swaying, trying to break free.
"We don't need these things. Please prepare Xuanyuan Fruit and Blood Dragon Crystal for us." Zhou Qian said.
Zhu Tianlong's expression softened a lot when he saw the Black Tiger Flame. He moved his sleeves and put away the lamp and the strange fire. He said dissatisfiedly: "The Black Tiger Flame has consumed most of its true source. How dare you ask for heavenly materials and earthly treasures?" !」
Zhou Qian frowned and stared at Zhu Tianlong coldly.
Zhu Tianlong looked at the blood-colored mask on Zhou Qian's face, and was slightly shocked. He snorted coldly: "I can find things for you, but if you make such a big noise, you have to cooperate with my plan."
Zhou Qian was silent and Zhu Tianlong said to himself: "I will give you an address. You can cooperate with me in a play and let me get hurt."
Zhou Ling smiled and said: "It's simple, but you have to be more honest. What is your purpose of doing this?"
Zhu Tianlong hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "This is a good opportunity to bring down Zhu Yushan. I will arrange the other evidence. You just need to show up there."
"Can."
I wish Tianlong to show his eyebrows.
Zhu Tianhu's death was unplanned, but the accident changed the situation and brought them a lot of benefits.
Zhou Qian seemed to see through his mind and said: "You got the strange fire, and he also achieved his goal. I am the only one here who was seriously injured. I'm afraid he will never recover, so I need to change the content of the next cooperation."
Zhu Tianhu said anxiously: "You were the one who killed Tianhu, so you must bear the consequences."
"Idiot!" Zhou Qian yelled, "Now all you care about is the position under Zhu Yushan's ass? Don't forget those people in Suzaku City."
Zhu Tianhu's face was livid.
Zhou Qian continued: "Tell Zhu Jiyuan that I will help him get what he wants, but he also has to help me get rid of Mu Qing."
Zhou Ling added on the side: "Actually, this doesn't need to be explained, but Mu Qing is very good at showing weakness. If you ignore this person, you will regret it sooner or later."
Zhu Tianhu didn't care in his heart, but looked more serious: "Don't worry, the great elder has noticed the innate true spirit next to him. I heard that they also signed up for the Three Mountains Trial. As long as they enter the mountains, there will be no third Two outcomes."
Zhou Qian looked at Zhu Tianhu and knew that this person still hadn't noticed who was the important point, but he didn't intend to remind him again and said: "I don't need the promised treasure, as long as Mu Qing's life and everything on him, Apart from this, all other harvests are yours.”
Zhu Tianhu was happy and clasped his fists: "I can't make a decision on this, but I will send the news back as soon as possible."
In the south of the city, Wushuang Inn.
Mu Qing looked at Zhu Xiao, who was temporarily unconscious, and thought thoughtfully: "They knew about the collusion between Zhu Jiyuan and Zhou Qian, but they still did nothing. Do they think it will not affect their plan?"
Zhu Hongyan was a little silent.
Zhu Guyu has been the deputy city lord of Nangui City for more than twenty years. During these years, if he had deliberately cultivated his power, these people would have had time to hide or leave when Zhou Qian and others started to target Huang Ding and others.
So she had another guess.
"Perhaps... they voluntarily gave up on people like Huang Ding just to disturb Zhu Jiyuan's sight."
Mu Qing asked, "Zhu... is the head of the family such a person?"
Zhu Hongyan didn't know how to answer.
Mu Qing looked at her and suddenly remembered the scene when the two were in the ring. Zhu Hongyan personally said that her childhood experience was not good.
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat silent. Zhu Ling'er scratched her forehead in annoyance and asked, "If he is a bad person, should we still help him?"
Mu Qing has a clear understanding of this
View, seriously: "There are some things that cannot be distinguished between good and bad, right and wrong, but the standpoints are different."
"Even if we have the same goal, the means of achieving it can be different."
The person in the room who was most deeply touched by Mu Qing's words was Tantai Xuan. In order to completely seal the secret realm of Mingquan and solve the crisis caused by Zhi Ming, Tantai Ding had sacrificed a lot. In order to save her parents, she was also "selfish." "Once, he said: "The most urgent thing is to find a way to know his plan."
Zhu Hongyan stood up and left, "I'll go directly to the Lord Guyu."
Mu Qing had no hope in this and did not stop him. After Zhu Hongyan left, he said, "Although Huang Xing was hidden by Zhu Guyu, it's not that there are no other clues. It's just more troublesome."
Linshui Street, even late at night, this street is not lacking in popularity. Wherever the lights are illuminated, the aroma of wine and meat is also permeated.
Mu Qing pretended to be a drunk pedestrian and walked slowly and leisurely through the door of the drug store. When he noticed a bright light coming from the house behind the drug store, he frowned slightly and walked straight past the door.
Long before the battle with Zhou Qian, he let go of Zhong Ping's family and marked Zhong Ping, but Zhong Ping was not at home at this time.
Mu Qing walked around a few times, walked into a narrow alley, and knocked on the door of one of the houses.
The breathing in the house behind the door suddenly stopped, and it took a long time for the door to open just a crack.
After Zhong Ping respectfully welcomed Mu Qing into the house, he lowered his head and said nothing.
Mu Qing glanced at the woman and children huddled together in the corner of the room, and said, "Who are those people in your family?"
Zhong Ping answered honestly: "I saw it was the guard of the City Lord's Mansion from a distance, so I didn't dare to go back."
Zhong Ping stopped talking.
Mu Qing said: "You didn't lie to me, but Huang Xing disappeared early."
Zhong Ping's originally sluggish face cheered up a little, and he said, "The higher-ups must have protected him."
Mu Qing asked: "Do you know who is up there?"
Zhong Ping shook his head.
Mu Qing said: "The people above you will protect Huang Xing because Huang Xing knows enough, but you and others do not have such good treatment. I heard that the city lord's palace suddenly interrogated those who were arrested during the day overnight. , their fate was very bad, you should know those people." Xiu Shu.com
Zhong Ping was silent for a while, then suddenly knelt on the ground, "Zhong Ping hasn't thanked you for saving your life."
Mu Qing asked: "Do you think I can protect you?"
Zhong Ping recalled the shocking scene he saw from a distance during the day and nodded heavily: "Yes."
Mu Qing said: "I can continue to protect you and your family, but in exchange, you have to show your worth."
Zhong Ping naturally understood what was going on, and quickly stood up and came to the bed, taking out a stack of white paper from under the pillow.
The white paper was clean and devoid of anything, but Zhong Ping prepared a bowl of liquid medicine in front of Mu Qing and smeared it on the white paper, and a lot of content appeared.
Zhong Ping put aside what he said last night and explained: "After Huang Xing was targeted, he contacted me once. He said that he was worried that everyone would become an outcast, so he told me that if I was caught, he would Tell him his whereabouts."
Mu Qing nodded, "What are these things?"
Zhong Ping replied: "It's some of the things he has handled over the years. He explained it when he handed it over to me. He only told one person about the things on a piece of paper, so that those people can explain it generously when they are interrogated."
Mu Qing looked at the contents on the paper and thought, "Are these contents true?"
"yes."
"How many people have seen it?"
Zhong Ping regretted: "Less than half. The City Lord's Mansion reacted too quickly. If I had known this, I shouldn't have been so careful."
Mu Qing looked at the contents on the paper, somewhat lost in thought.
Each piece of paper records only one thing, recording the direction of a certain batch of goods after entering Nangui City, who handled it first, who finally got it, and where it was used.
People like Zhong Ping are store owners, and handling goods is a normal and trivial matter.
Mu Qing looked at several pictures and found that the contents were written down on them. Zhong Ping saw that Mu Qing kept frowning and reminded him in a low voice: "This just happened on a certain day."
Mu Qing suddenly woke up and looked at Zhong Ping in surprise: "One hundred thousand tons of white moon sand, thirty thousand blue and white jade, and ten thousand kilograms of imaging fruits. These things seem to be resources for cultivation, but they are only available in one day. Number of transactions?"
Zhong Ping replied: "Yes, and only a little less."
Mu Qing suddenly asked: "How many practitioners are there in Nangui City?"
Zhong Ping smiled bitterly: "There are 12 million people in Nangui City, and there are fully 3 million people with cultivation level. But just for the spiritual life realm and above, there are probably less than 10,000. The higher the realm, the greater the number will be. Less.".Ь.
"Those of us are luckier than many people. We have broken through the spiritual realm and entered the top 10,000 people. However, we are also more aware of the cruelty of cultivation. We may stay in the extraordinary until our death, unable to make any more breakthroughs."
"So many of us are engaged in the business of reselling low-level cultivation resources, hoping to make breakthroughs again."
Through Zhong Ping's words, Mu Qing truly understood the meaning of what Zhu Xiao said that day. People like Zhong Ping were of average talent and could not join the ranks of people like Zhu Jiyuan. Even though they knew that working for Zhu Yushan was very risky, It is very possible to become an abandoned child, and it is impossible to give up such an opportunity.
"Our right to resell these resources was given by the above. Behind us, there are still many people eyeing this little right in our hands, so this is an extremely fair transaction. Even if we become abandoned, it is our own choice. "
Mu Qing nodded: "So you can only survive on your own."
Zhong Ping was slightly moved. Even he did not expect that the young people in front of him who were both talented and powerful could truly understand their humble mentality. He took the initiative to say: "The daily consumption of low-level cultivation resources in Nangui City is huge. Because In this way, even if there is a decrease of 10% or 20% in some transactions, it will be difficult for others to detect.”
Mu Qing's eyes moved slightly, knowing that he had finally reached the key point.
"Where have these things that I lose every day gone?"
Zhong Ping replied: "I don't know, but I can confirm that he is no longer in Nangui City."
"..."
Mu Qing looked at Zhong Ping quietly, "How long has this situation lasted?"
Zhong Ping: "It has been three years since I joined, and before me, maybe... longer, at least at that time Mr. Huang Ding was still young."
Mu Qing slowly digested the news, and his heart became more and more shocked. He asked, "Besides the practice resources recorded on the paper, are there other things?"
Zhong Ping looked at his family in the corner.
Mu Qing understood and said, "Follow me and go back to Wushuang Inn."
