It's true that the merchants have great wealth, and it's true that the officialdom is all-powerful, but the demon sect is full of monsters who kill without blinking an eye. They don't show mercy or ask for reasons, and they will use all their means to get what they like.

If this were not the case, how could the Demonic Cult become the public enemy of martial arts and yet remain standing for hundreds of years?

"However, the Demon Cult's actions this time are too strange."

"Yes, yes, it stands to reason that a Pearl of Enlightenment cannot catch your eye.

What’s so valuable about a bead? If you want to grab it, you should also grab the secret recipe of gunpowder.[

Puzzling for a while, several people had already cast suspicious eyes on Shang Qingluo. They suspected that it was because she acted erratically and didn't know when she offended the Demon Cult that she would be implicated in Merchant Castle.

Shang Qingluo noticed it and felt embarrassed and unable to explain. He was afraid of causing Shang Jinhong to misunderstand.

Suspicions are just suspicions, and it's hard for a few old foxes to say anything without real evidence. After all, the lady's identity is still there. Looking back, I have always reported to my family what happened at Donggutang, and there is indeed no sign of having anything to do with the demon sect.

Since the group couldn't figure out the reason for a while, they couldn't make any countermeasures, so they had to send people to conduct some secret investigation work for the time being. It wouldn't be too late to make plans when they had a clue.

After the matter was discussed and everyone was about to leave, Shang Jinhong suddenly stopped his daughter and asked:

"By the way, I heard that you were poisoned..."

"Thank you for your concern, Lord of the fort." Although Shang Qingluo was very happy, he did not dare to forget the rules in the fort for a moment. In public speaking, no matter who he is, he must call him "the Lord of the fort."

"The edge of the knife is quenched with poison. But it doesn't matter."

Shang Qingluo was shocked by the poisonous miasma that Xiang Xue used to kill rats. She definitely didn't want to taste the smell of pus all over her body again. In comparison, the green clam poison suddenly seemed much cuter.

Suddenly he remembered Xu Wei's promise to Xue Di. He took the opportunity to speak: "Fortunately, I met a girl who knew medical skills on the way. She helped me detoxify. Therefore, Qing Luo boldly brought people back to the castle to entertain Shu.

"kindness."

Shang Jinhong responded indifferently. He was obviously not interested in his daughter's friends.

"Dad..." After changing the title, Shang Qingluo summoned up the courage to say: "She really wants to see the world-famous gunpowder of Merchant Fort. Can my daughter..."

"Don't you still have control over these little things? Go to the warehouse and get it yourself. As long as you don't attack the fortress, I don't care about the rest."

In terms of keeping her promise, Miss Bao Jiu, the merchant, is indeed good, although she was largely frightened by someone's poison.

After leaving the study, Shang Qingluo returned to his usual calmness from nervousness and excitement. He was not in a hurry to go back to the other courtyard. He planned to think while walking. He received too much news at once and his brain could not digest it immediately.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned the corner, she saw Little Bell running towards her in a hurry.

"Miss Ninth, Miss Ninth, it's not good."

Little Lingdang is the daughter of a cook in Merchant Fort. She was born smart and cute, so she was asked to be a maid by the fifth lady. This little girl is upright and kind-hearted by nature, and is one of the few people who can treat Shang Qingluo sincerely.[

"Little bell, slow down, what's going on?"

While patting Little Lingdang's back to calm her down, she asked doubtfully.

"My two young cousins ​​heard that you brought a young lady back, and on your face, on your face..." Little Lingdang was afraid of making Shang Qingluo unhappy, so he hesitantly gesticulated on his right cheek: "
