Three Hundred and Thirtieth Chapters First Clues
The scale of Yunyi City is not large. The aborigines here, that is, the Yihe tribe, have different habits from Rikang City. They don't come out many at night, but there are more barbarians from other tribes.
And I don't know if it's because the time is too late, or there is no branch of the Mingyue Sect here, and there are no Mingyue Sect members walking around on the road.
As the night darkened, the shops on the street began to close one after another, and the number of pedestrians gradually decreased.
Shi Mu walked around the street, but found nothing.
He stopped with a frown, turned his head and looked towards the center of the town, where the City Lord's Mansion was located.
Shi Mu pondered for a moment, his figure slowly disappeared in the darkness, and fled towards the City Lord's Mansion.
A quarter of an hour later, he came to the periphery of the City Lord's Mansion.
The city lord's mansion is surrounded by a high wall, and from time to time there are groups of Winged Crane tribesmen patrolling the city with spears.
However, these weak soldiers did not pose any threat to Shi Mu.
With a flash of his figure, he turned into a blurry black shadow, easily climbed over the city wall, and sneaked into the mansion.
The interior of the mansion is full of buildings, among which there are many trees, rockery and rocks. The scenery is quite good, and it can be seen that the city lord is a person who knows how to enjoy himself.
Shi Mu looked around quickly, he didn't dare to use his divine sense to investigate here.
There are no guards patrolling the mansion, but it is clear that it is not completely defenseless.
Under the induction of Shi Mu's spiritual sense, a faint mana fluctuation emanated from all around from time to time, obviously some kind of formation restriction was set up, if it was accidentally touched, God knows what consequences would happen.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed, a ray of gold appeared in his pupils, and he looked around.
With the improvement of his cultivation, Shi Mu's golden pupils have gradually gained some other abilities. It is no longer just able to magnify his eyesight. Through the combination with his spiritual consciousness, he has become more sensitive to various magic powers.
In the field of vision of the golden pupil, everything around has changed into another appearance.
Light curtains of different colors emerged from all over the mansion, almost covering the entire mansion.
Shock flashed across Shi Mu's eyes, followed by a smile.
Now that you can see these forbidden lights, it is not difficult to avoid them.
His figure flickered, like a loach, he shuttled through the light curtains of various formations with extreme agility, and headed for the depths.
A moment later, when he passed an intersection, his face changed slightly, and he quickly dodged and hid in a shadow on the side of the road.
There was a sound of footsteps coming from a distance. It was a young barbarian from the Winged Crane tribe, holding something in his arms, walked past Shi Mu's hiding place, and walked towards a road on the right.
Shi Mu slowly appeared, and glanced at the man's back.
The mansion was also completely silent at the moment, and most of the houses had no lights. After coming in for so long, the barbarian youth just now was the first person he met.
Shi Mu thought about whether to follow this person, but after a while, he still shook his head.
That person's cultivation is only acquired, not even congenital, and he is probably just a servant of the city lord's mansion.
His figure flickered, and he swept towards a deeper depth.
Turning another intersection, Shi Mu's eyes lit up, and there was a light in a three-story attic in front of him.
With a joy on his face, he lurked in the past.
Just as he was about to investigate the situation inside, a black shadow fell from above and landed on Shi Mu's shoulder.
Shi Mu was shocked, but soon saw that the black shadow was Cai'er, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.
"How dare you deliberately scare me!" Shi Mu hit Cai'er twice.
"I'm wronged, I was also afraid that the people inside would hear the movement, so I didn't make a sound." Cai'er's eyes showed a look of grievance.
"What's going on inside?" Shi Mu's face suddenly showed concentration when he heard this.
"Look for yourself." Cai'er looked towards the attic, a white light flashed in her pupils.
Shi Mu quickly activated vision sharing, and the wall of the attic gradually became transparent, revealing two figures, talking.
One of them was an old man in black, with a faint majesty on his body, he seemed to be a person who held great power all year round.
The other was a tall, thin young man in a green robe.
Shi Mu's face changed, that thin and tall young man was one of the two Winged Crane tribe barbarians whom he met with the woman surnamed Zhen in Rikang City.
"Shitou, it seems that the Winged Crane Barbarians may really attack here, what are you going to do?" Cai'er asked softly.
Shi Mu frowned, looked at the two people's mouth shapes, and was about to read their lips.
However, at this moment, the conversation between the two stopped suddenly. The tall and thin young man cupped his hands at the old man in black robe, turned around and walked towards the gate.
Shi Mu and Cai'er were lurking nearby, seeing this, they hurriedly backed out.
The tall and thin young man left the attic, turned around and walked in one direction without stopping.
"Shitou, what should we do now?" Cai'er asked.
"Let's get out of here first." Shi Mu took a deep look at the attic, swayed his figure, and fled outside.
A quarter of an hour later, he left the City Lord's Mansion, and after confirming his direction, he quickly headed towards the inn.
Not long after, he came to the door of the inn.
Shi Mu's footsteps stopped suddenly, his face showing a thoughtful look.
A moment later, he flipped his hand and took out a blank jade slip, and quickly recorded the conspiracy of the Winged Crane Division and the Mingyue Sect in detail.
"Shitou, what are you going to do?" Cai'er asked.
"Of course, tell Zhong Xiu about these things." Shi Mu said after finishing recording quickly.
"But don't you plan to recognize Zhong Xiu now and protect her secretly? Could it be that you have changed your mind?" Caier asked.
"I don't plan to see her, I just need to hand over the jade slip to her." Shi Mu laughed, walked into the inn, and came to the compound.
The people in the courtyard have changed into the second wave at this moment. These people are dutifully guarding the floating cloud cart in the courtyard. When they saw Shi Mu coming in, several people nodded to him, but none of them responded.
Shi Mu also paced slowly in the courtyard, thinking about how to hand over the jade slips to Zhong Xiu.
"Brother Mu, you are the third batch of guards, you can go take a rest now." A young man in green robe who was in the same car with Shi Mu said to Shi Mu.
"It's nothing, and it's not very tiring. It's always better to have more guards." Shi Mu smiled.
At this moment, the door of Zhong Xiu's room opened with a creak, and a handsome woman came out.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed, he remembered that this woman was called Xiaowei, and she was one of Zhong Xiu's close aides.
Xiao Wei walked out the door and walked straight outside.
With a thought in mind, Shi Mu chatted with the green-robed youth for a while, said hello, walked out of the yard, leaned against the wall and waited.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps coming from a distance, Shi Mu raised his eyes and saw that it was Xiao Wei walking back.
"Miss Xiaowei, please stay." Shi Mu suddenly stepped in front of Xiaowei.
"You are...one of the guards, so...what's the matter?" Xiaowei showed a trace of fear on her face, as if she was quite afraid of Shi Mu.
"Miss Xiaowei, don't be nervous, I don't intend to offend you, but there is one thing I want to ask you." Shi Mu laughed quickly.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Wei still looked at Shi Mu with a bit of awe.
"This thing, please pass it to Ms. Zhong Xiu. There is very important news in it, which is related to the success or failure of this escort mission." Shi Mu took out the jade slip and placed it in front of Xiaowei.
Xiao Wei showed a look of astonishment on her face, she looked at Shi Mu blankly.
"I know that it is difficult for you to believe this for a while, but if you hand the jade slip to Ms. Zhong Xiu, she will know it immediately." Shi Mu said, and at the same time he took out a mid-grade spirit stone and handed it to Xiao Xiao. Wei.
"This middle-grade spirit stone should be regarded as your reward for handing it over." Shi Mu said.
Xiaowei hesitated for a moment, and looked at the middle-grade spirit stone, which was a little bright.
"Okay, I'll give this jade slip to Miss Zhong, but what's your name? I'll tell Miss." Xiao Wei took the jade slip and Lingshi and asked.
"You don't need to know about this, just hand over the jade slip to her." Shi Mu waved his hand.
Xiaowei glanced at Shi Mu hesitantly, but nodded at him, and walked forward.
Shi Mu watched Xiaowei's back disappear and walked into the yard, heaving a sigh of relief.
That's all he can do. With Zhong Xiu's prudence, he should take some precautions when he sees the contents of the Jade Slip.
His figure flickered and disappeared in the shadow of the inn.
In the compound, Xiao Wei walked towards Zhong Xiu's room with a low eyebrow and a pleasing look. Where no one was watching, a glint of light appeared in her eyes, and she glanced at the jade slip in her hand.
At this moment, there was no fear in her eyes at all, as if she was a different person.
A ray of green light emanated from her hand and penetrated into the jade slip.
After a few breaths, a hint of shock appeared in Xiaowei's eyes.
There was a flash of light in her eyes, and a cold light flashed suddenly, and she put the jade slip away.
At this moment, she had already walked to the door, pushed the door and walked in.
Zhong Xiu sat cross-legged in the back room, as if she was practicing with her eyes closed, the living room was only occupied by the baby-faced maid.
"Xiaowei, why have you been away for so long?" The baby-faced maid saw Xiaowei coming in, came up to greet her, and asked.
"Sister Xin, I'm sorry, I was stopped by a guard outside just now, and I managed to get rid of him and come in." Xiaowei said with an innocent smile on her face again.
"Someone dares to stop you? Who is it and what have you done? Do you want me to tell the miss and teach him a lesson?" the baby-faced maid said with a cold expression.
"No, he just casually asked about my young lady's situation. It should be that Lingtou's subordinate, so I don't need to tell the young lady about it." Xiaowei shook her head and said softly.
"Okay, then be careful yourself. If there is anything, just tell your sister." The baby-faced maid thought for a while and nodded.
Xiaowei nodded heavily, looked worriedly at the inner room, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. (To be continued.)
