/s李pt>In the shadow of the inn courtyard, Shi Mu looked at the direction of Zhong Xiu's residence from afar.

At this moment, it had been a stick of incense before Xiao Wei entered the room, and there was no movement in Zhong Xiu's room, which was a bit beyond his expectations.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came in from outside. He frowned and swept his mind. It was Leng Yuetong, with a happy face. It seemed that she had been having fun and was in a good mood.

Shi Mu naturally would not show up to say hello to him and continued to hide in place.

Leng Yuetong jumped and walked not far from Shi Mu's hiding residence. She paused suddenly, turned around and looked towards Shi Mu's hiding, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Shi Mu was shocked and hurriedly restrained his breath.

Leng Yuetong glanced at her twice, then shook her head, turned around and continued to walk forward, and soon disappeared in front of her.

Shi Mu let out a secret breath, a strange light appeared in his eyes.

This girl's cultivation level is not too high. However, judging from the scenes she saw at night before and all kinds of incredible abilities, this girl's origin is definitely not simple.

He shook his head and put aside this idea. It was not the time to think about it.

At this moment, another sound of footsteps came, and a group of people came over. The one in front was an old man in black robe, the person Shi Mu had just peeped at the city lord's mansion.

Several people followed him, all of whom were barbarians from the Winged Crane tribe.

The inn owner was following the side with fear and fear at this moment.

Shi Mu's face changed.

"Shitou, why is this guy here? Do they want to do it immediately?" Cai'er's voice appeared in Shi Mu's heart.

Shi Mu shook his head, but his thoughts turned.

"Do those distinguished guests live here?" The old man in black robe looked at the courtyard not far away and asked the shop owner next to him.

"Yes, Lord City Lord." The owner said quickly.

"This person is the city lord!" Shi Mu was shocked and couldn't help but look at the old man in black robe for a few more glances.

This person's face was dry, a bit like a mummy, with only one pair of eyes that were indeed bright and energetic, and his body exuded a momentum of self-importance without anger.

The old man in black nodded and walked to the gate of the courtyard. He was about to push the door into the gate when the gate was suddenly opened. Four or five innate warriors jumped out and stopped them in front of the gate.

"Who is your lord? You dare to trek into this place!" One of the men in red robe shouted.

A clear shadow flashed in the air, and Ling Tu's figure emerged.

A white light flashed in the inner room, and Zhong Xiu also appeared in the air, looking coldly at the old man in the black robe and others in front of the yard without saying a word.

"So it's fellow Taoist Ling Tu. I haven't seen you for so long, is it so welcome to your old friends?" The old man in black robe looked at Zhong Xiu first, then looked at Ling Tu with a smile on his face, and said this.

This man forced a smile on his face like a mummy, looking extremely strange and ugly.

"Are you... Fellow Daoist Yunyang?" Ling Tu was stunned. Seeing the old man in black robe clearly, hesitated.

"Haha, it's just below. If you come to my city, you won't know if you say anything." said the old man in black robe.

"Haha, I just said it looks so familiar. I haven't seen it for decades. I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Yunyang has already taken on the position of the city lord here. Congratulations." Ling Tu immediately laughed and bowed.

"Fellow Daoist Ling Tu, you are polite! As the number one strong general under the command of the Lord Youcan City, you are now famous and far better than the Lord of the Small City!" The old man in black robe said with a smile.

"Miss Zhong, this person is not a suspicious person. He is a friend I met before, Mo Yunyang, the Yihe Tribe, and is now the lord of Yunyi City." Ling Tu turned around and said to Zhong Xiu.

Zhong Xiu frowned slightly, and did not relax because of Ling Tu's words. Her beautiful eyes looked at the old man in black robe.

Ling Tu looked a little embarrassed when he saw Zhong Xiu not speaking.

"Why don't Fellow Taoist Ling Tu introduce this girl? "The old man in black robe asked.

"This is Zhong Xiu, Miss Zhong, and is the guest elder of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce. We are escorting a batch of goods to Lord Youcan City, and then we happened to pass here." Ling Tu explained.

"It turns out that he is a distinguished guest of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce. I am not welcome!" The old man in black robe lit up his eyes and he hurriedly bowed his hands.

"Master Yuncheng is polite. I wonder what you are doing when you are visiting at this moment?" Zhong Xiu opened his red lips lightly, his voice cold.

"There was nothing big at first. I just had a long time with fellow Taoist Ling Tu. I wanted to invite you to drink and chat with me to reminisce about the old relationship, so that I could have the friendship of the landlord. But I didn't expect that I could meet the distinguished guests of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce here. Why not be together!" said the old man in black robe.

"Sorry, Lord Yun City, we were ordered to deliver goods, and we were responsible for it. I'm afraid we would have no time to have a banquet with you." Before Ling Tu could speak, Zhong Xiu refused directly.

Ling Tu frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but he glanced at Zhong Xiu and said nothing.

"Haha, Miss Zhong is thorough in thinking, which makes me admire her. As for safety issues, I can rest assured that I am in the city under my jurisdiction. No bandits have the courage to attack the inn. Drinking this time is just a trivial matter. I happened to have a batch of valuable goods to take action, but I have never found a suitable person to entrust. Now seeing the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce, Miss Zhong is so responsible, so I just came to take a look together. If it is appropriate, Miss Zhong will do it for her." said the old man in black robe.

When Zhong Xiu heard this, he was slightly stunned, and a hint of hesitation flashed across his face.

The old man in black robe did not urge him and chatted with Ling Tu next to him. In his words, there were all the acquaintances between the two of them.

"Lord Yuncheng, can you ask you to take the goods here? It's really hard for the little girl to leave the inn. If you want a banquet, you can also hold it in the inn." Zhong Xiu thought about it and said a little apologetically.

"That batch of goods is quite large, and it is the monster materials hoarded by Yunyi City over the past decade. It seems to be a little inconvenient to bring them here." The old man in black robe looked a little embarrassed.

Zhong Xiu's eyes lit up. As far as she knows, the Chamber of Commerce has recently been stating that in order to make a big purchase, it is clearly asking local governments to purchase monster materials. If this purchase can be made, it will be of great benefit to her position in the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce and may even be helpful to that matter.

Moreover, the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce is famous. If this kind of business that comes to the door is refused, if it is spread, it will damage the reputation of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce.

"Okay, I'll be chatting tonight." Zhong Xiu pondered for a moment, nodded and said.

The old man in black robe looked delighted, and a trace of unawareness flashed deep in his eyes.

"Master Yun City, please wait for a moment. The little girl still needs some things to be ordered." Zhong Xiu said immediately.

"It should be, Miss Zhong, please give me the gift." The old man in black robe said quickly.

Zhong Xiu turned around and called the guards in the yard. After he left, the responsible persons here were arranged properly and asked the shift guards to double the number. Such things were explained in an orderly manner.

"Xin'er, Xiaowei, if something happens, I'll use that thing to notify me." After Zhong Xiu made arrangements, his lips moved slightly, and a sound came into the ears of the two maids.

The two nodded slightly, indicating that they understood.

"You guys stay here, help guard the safety here, and never let anything go, otherwise you will be asked!" The old man in black robe also turned around at this moment, and ordered the people behind him with a solemn expression.

The barbarians agreed in unison.

"Two, please!" said the old man in black robe, inviting Zhong Xiu and Ling Tu.

The three of them quickly walked towards the inn gate together.

In the distance, Shi Mu watched the three of them walk away, frowned and his face full of disbelief.

He had clearly told Zhong Xiu the conspiracy of the Wing Crane tribe, why did she still act like this?

Could it be that Zhong Xiu doesn’t believe in the content on the jade slip? Or, Zhong Xiu has other ideas or tricks?

"Shitou, why did Miss Zhong leave with the other party!" Cai'er's voice sounded in her mind.

"Follow up and take a look." Shi Mu said, glanced at the inn convoy, shook his body and chased Zhong Xiu and the other two.

In the inn, more than twenty guards stood almost into a wall of people, surrounding the convoy.

Zhong Xiu had just given an order that no one could leave the yard until she and Ling Tu came back.

"Huh! Why don't you see Brother Mu Shi?" The purple-haired young man who had been sitting in a floating cloud car with Shi Mu and Leng Yuetong looked around and suddenly spoke softly.

Leng Yuetong stood beside him. When she heard this, she frowned and looked around.

Shi Mu was indeed not seen in the yard.

"Have you returned from going out?" the purple-haired young man guessed.

Leng Yuetong snorted coldly, and two strange lights seemed to flash in her beautiful eyes, without saying a word.

"Everyone, is there any place here that needs our help?" At this moment, among the few barbarians left by the old man in black robe, a tall black-skinned winged crane barbarian came over and said.

"Thank you for your kindness, but we can just guard here, so don't bother you." Among the guards, a thin middle-aged man with a congenital stage walked out and blocked the black-skinned Winged Crane Barbarians, and said with a look of alertness.

Before leaving, Zhong Xiu sent a message to him to beware of these Winged Crane Barbarians and never let them approach the convoy.

"But, the city lord has already ordered us to stay..." The black-skinned Winged Crane barbarian said in a little embarrassed.

"These goods are important escorts for us. After all, some of them are outsiders. Please don't make things difficult for us." The thin middle-aged man was unmoved at all.

"Haha, this is naturally." The black-skinned winged crane barbarian nodded and smiled.

"Since that's the case, I'll go and inspect other places in the inn, and I'll lose my companion." The black-skinned Winged Crane Barbarian continued, then waved his hand and walked towards the rest of the inn.

The thin middle-aged man's face slowed down and he walked back to the convoy.

Several winged crane barbarians walked out of the yard, and the smile on the black-skinned barbarians who were led disappeared completely. They looked back at the yard, and a trace of intriguing light flashed in their eyes. (To be continued.)
