The Portal of Wonderland
Chapter 337
In the shadow of the inn courtyard, Shi Mu looked at Zhong Xiu''s residence from a distance.
At the moment, it has been a long time since Xiaowei entered the room. Zhong Xiu''s room was quiet, which was somewhat unexpected.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps came in from the outside. His eyebrows wrinkled and his divine knowledge swept away. The visitor was lengyuetong. His face looked happy. He looked like he had a good time and came back in a good mood.
Shi Mu naturally would not show up to say hello to him and continued to hide in place.
Leng Yuetong bounced not far from Shi Mu''s hiding place. With a sudden step, she turned and looked at Shi Mu''s hiding direction, revealing a trace of doubt in her eyes.
Shi Mu was surprised and hurriedly restrained his breath.
Leng Yuetong looked at it, then shook her head, turned around and continued to walk forward, and soon disappeared in front of her.
Shi Mu breathed out a breath, and a strange light appeared in his eyes.
The nun''s accomplishments are not too high. However, from the scenes seen at night and all kinds of incredible abilities, the origin of this woman is by no means simple.
He shook his head and put the idea aside. This is not the time to think about it.
At this moment, another sound of footsteps came, and several people in a line came over. In front of them was an old man in black robe, who Shi Mu had just peeped into the city master''s house.
He was followed by several people, all barbarians of the wing crane department.
The previous innkeeper is now following in fear.
Shi Mu''s face changed.
"Stone, why is this guy here? Do they want to do it at once? " Caier''s voice emerged in Shi Mu''s heart.
Shi Mu shook his head, but his mind turned.
"Do those distinguished guests live here?" The old man in black looked at the yard not far away and asked the shopkeeper next to him.
"Yes, Lord." The shopkeeper said quickly.
"This man is the city master!" Shi Mu was surprised and couldn''t help looking at the old man in black robe.
The man''s face was dry, some like a corpse, only a pair of eyes were really bright, and his body exuded a momentum of not being angry and self threatening.
The old man in black robe nodded and stepped to the front of the courtyard. He was about to push the door in. Suddenly, the courtyard door was opened, and four or five congenital warriors jumped out and stopped in front of the door.
"Who are you? Dare to intrude here!" One of the red robed men shouted.
In the middle of the sky, the shadow of Ling toad appeared.
The white light flashed in the inner room, and Zhong Xiu''s figure also appeared in the air. He looked at the old man in black in front of the hospital and didn''t speak.
"It''s Ling Toad''s friend. Haven''t you seen him for so long? Is that how welcome you are to old friends?" The old man in black first looked at Zhong Xiu, then looked at Ling toad with a smile and said so.
The man forced a smile on his corpse like face and looked very strange and ugly.
"Are you... Taoist friend of Yunyang?" Ling toad was stunned, saw the old man in black robe, and said with some hesitation.
"Hehe, it''s me. When you come to my city, I don''t know if you will say a word. " The old man in Black said.
"Ha ha, I said it looked so familiar. I haven''t seen you for decades. Unexpectedly, Taoist friends of Yunyang have assumed the post of city master here. Congratulations. " Ling toad immediately laughed and arched his hands.
"You''re welcome, Ling toad! Your highness is the first valiant general under the command of city Lord youcan. Now she is famous and far better than me! " The old man in black smiled.
"Miss Zhong, this person is not a suspicious person. He is a friend I knew before. Mo Yunyang of the wing crane department is now the Lord of the cloud Wing city." Ling toad turned and said to Zhong Xiu.
Zhong Xiu frowned slightly and did not relax because of Ling Toad''s words. He looked at the old man in black with wonderful eyes.
Ling toad was embarrassed when he saw that Zhong Xiu didn''t speak.
"Ling toad, why don''t you introduce this girl?" Asked the old man in black.
"This is Zhong Xiu, Miss Zhong, who is the elder of Ke Qing of tianwu chamber of Commerce. We are here to escort a batch of goods for city leader youcan, and we happen to pass by here. " Ling toad explained.
"It''s a distinguished guest of tianwu chamber of Commerce. I''m far from welcoming you!" As soon as the black robed old man''s eyes brightened, he quickly arched his hands and said.
"Lord Yun, you''re welcome. I wonder why you are visiting at this moment? " Zhong Xiu''s lips opened gently, and his voice was cold.
"It wasn''t a big deal, but I''ve known Ling toad for many years. I''d like to invite you to go over to the house to have a drink and chat, so as to make me a host. But I didn''t expect to meet the distinguished guests of tianwu chamber of Commerce here. Let''s go together! " Said the old man in black.
"I''m sorry, Cloud City leader. We have been ordered to escort the goods. It''s our responsibility. I''m afraid we don''t have time to entertain with you." Before Ling toad spoke, Zhong Xiu refused directly.
Ling toad frowned and seemed to want to say something, but after looking at Zhong Xiu, he didn''t say anything.
"Ha ha, Miss Zhong is thoughtful and I admire her. As for the security issue, you can rest assured, miss. Now you are in the city under your jurisdiction. No bandits have the courage to attack the inn. This drinking is just a small matter. I happen to have a batch of valuable goods to sell, and I haven''t found a suitable consignor. Now I see tianwu chamber of Commerce, and miss Zhong is so responsible. I happen to come and have a look together. If it''s appropriate, I''ll ask Miss Zhong to do it for me. " Said the old man in black.
Hearing this, Zhong Xiu was slightly stunned and a look of hesitation flashed on her face.
The old man in black didn''t urge him either. He chatted with Ling toad on one side. His words were full of their past acquaintance experiences.
"Cloud City leader, can you please take the goods here? It''s really hard for the little woman to leave the inn. If you want to have a banquet, you can also do it in the inn." Zhong Xiu thought about it and said with some apology.
"There are a lot of goods in that batch. They are monster materials hoarded by Yunyi city for more than ten years. It seems inconvenient to bring them here." The black robed old man looked a little embarrassed.
Zhong Xiu''s eyes brightened. As far as he knows, the chamber of commerce is ordering all localities to purchase monster materials in order to make a big deal recently. If this deal can be made, it will be very good for her position in tianwu chamber of Commerce, and may even be helpful for that matter.
Moreover, the tianwu chamber of commerce is well-known. If this door-to-door business is still refused, if it is spread, it will also damage the reputation of the tianwu chamber of Commerce.
"Well, I''ll nag tonight." Zhong Xiu pondered for a moment, nodded and said.
The black robed old man''s face was happy, and an imperceptible strange light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"Lord Yun, please wait a moment. I have something to tell you." Zhong Xiu then said.
"Yes, Miss Zhong, please." The old man in black quickly said.
Zhong Xiu turned around and called the guards in the courtyard. After he left, the person in charge here arranged properly and asked the shift guards to double. Such things were explained in an orderly manner one by one.
"Xin''er, Xiao Wei, if anything happens, let me know with that thing." After Zhong Xiu arranged it properly, his lips moved slightly, and a wisp of sound came into the ears of the two maidens.
They nodded slightly to show that they understood.
"You guys also stay here to help guard the security here. Nothing wrong is allowed, or you will be asked!" The black robed old man also turned around and ordered several people behind him.
The barbarians agreed in unison.
"Two, please!" The old man in black made a gesture of invitation to Zhong Xiu and Ling toad and said.
The three soon walked together towards the gate of the inn.
In the distance, Shi Mu watched the three go away, frowning and his face full of unbelievable.
He has clearly told Zhong Xiu the plot of the wing crane department. Why would she act like this.
Is it Zhong Xiu who doesn''t believe the contents of the jade slips? Or, what else does Zhong Xiu think or move later?
"Stone, how did miss Zhong go with each other!" Caier''s voice rang out in my mind.
"Follow up and have a look." Shi Mu said, glancing at the caravan of the inn, his body swayed and chased the three of Zhong Xiu.
In the inn, about 20 guards almost stood as a human wall, surrounding the motorcade.
Zhong Xiugang has just given an order that everyone should not leave the yard until she and Ling toad come back.
"Eh! Why don''t you see brother Mu Shi? " The purple haired young man who once sat in a cloud car with Shi Mu and Leng Yuetong looked around and said softly.
Leng Yuetong stood beside him. Hearing this, Xiumei frowned and looked around.
Shi Mu was really not seen in the hospital.
"Out but not back?" The purple haired youth guessed.
Leng Yuetong snorted coldly. It seemed that two different mans flashed in her beautiful eyes and didn''t speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything we can do for you?" At this moment, among the barbarians left by the black robed old man, a tall black skin winged crane barbarian came over and said.
"Thank you for your kindness, but we can keep watch here. Don''t bother you." Among the guards, a thin middle-aged man in the later stage of congenital came out and stood in front of the black skin winged crane barbarians, with alert eyes.
Before Zhong Xiugang left, he specially told him to beware of these winged crane barbarians and never let them close to the team.
"However, the city Lord has ordered us to stay..." the black skin winged crane barbarians said in some embarrassment.
"These goods are our important escorts. After all, you are outsiders. Please don''t embarrass us." The thin middle-aged man was unmoved.
"Oh, this is natural." The black winged crane barbarians nodded and smiled.
"In that case, I''ll go and inspect other places in the inn. Excuse me." The black skin winged crane barbarians continued, then waved and took the others to the rest of the inn.
The thin middle-aged man''s face relaxed and walked back to the team.
Several winged crane barbarians walked out of the yard. The black skinned barbarians, led by them, completely disappeared when they smiled. Looking back at the yard, a thought-provoking strange light flashed in their eyes.
