Chapter 149 Suspicion
Qian Mo took out a little tip from his arms and handed it to the waiter, saying, "Thank you for your advice, I have some feelings, please accept it with a smile."
The waiter smiled and hurriedly said, "Thank you little things, thank you young master. Please use it slowly, if you have something to do, you are calling me."
Qian Mo nodded and the man stepped back.
The money Qianmo gave him just now was obviously more than what other diners usually gave him, so it was no wonder that the waiter was so respectful.
This is not Qianmo's grand atmosphere. He really has no idea about the prices in the East China Sea. When he lived in the Southern Region, he rarely had transactions or transactions.
Seeing the waiter leaving, Xiao Mu put down his hat and said, "Brother Qianmo, what he said, is there really something wrong with the Southern Region?"
Qian Mo nodded and said, "The situation in this city is indeed abnormal. There should be something wrong with the Southern Region, but it has not spread on a large scale yet. Few people know what happened. If we want to figure it out, we have to go to the people from the Southern Region to ask it out."
Xiao Mu said, "It shouldn't be a trivial matter for a large-scale population movement in a region. It should have caused panic for a long time. Why can the news be blocked so closely? There may be other hidden information here."
Qian Mo smiled, touched Xiaomu's head, and said, "It's not bad, I've grown up."
Xiao Mu snorted proudly, very happy.
Qian Mo continued her words and said, "You heard from the waiter just now that most of the people who came out of the Southern Region are rich and noble families. I was also observing these vendors just now. Almost every caravan has many entourages. Judging from the postures of these entourages, they are not ordinary civilians, but mostly from the army."
Xiao Mu said in shock, "Military people? How could they escort vendors?"
Qian Mo said softly, "I have been in the Southern Region for nearly twenty years. I will never forget the sergeants in the Southern Region, their demeanor and habits, and their blade weapons in my life, and I will never be wrong."
Xiao Mu noticed the changes in Qianmo's mood, and she had heard Qianmo mention this place.
All this southern region left to him was sadness.
Xiao Mu grabbed Qian Mo's hand and said, "It's okay, it's all over. Anyway, we will go back sooner or later. We will always be beaten up by those who bully you."
Qian Mo took Xiaomu's hand and smiled, "You are just crazy, don't worry, I'm fine."
Xiao Mu smiled and continued, "If you say so, these vendors have problems?"
Qian Mo nodded and said, "If we guessed correctly, these so-called vendors and travelers may all come from the official. Only they, who truly master these secrets, cannot reach those ordinary people."
"And these people should have a default rule. No matter where they go, they will definitely keep their mouths tight, and will not mention any reasons for the actual departure, and bury everything about the Southern Region in their stomachs..."
Xiao Mu said, "No wonder, the migration can be hidden so closely. But this matter has a huge impact. Officials keep moving out, so the Tiangong will let it go. If you drag it on like this, it will explode sooner or later. By then, the Southern Region may really be in chaos."
Qian Mo said, "The strange phenomena in the Southern Region should not be completely amplified yet. Once the situation in the Southern Region cannot be controlled, this matter will definitely not be hidden, and the residents of the Southern Region will definitely learn about it as soon as possible."
"We can't control these things. Now we can be sure that everything in the Southern Region has not yet erupted, but there may have been some signs, which have caused panic among the people there."
Xiao Mu muttered, "What kind of rumor is it? It has such a great deterrent force, which has caused the official intervention and even took the lead in secret migration."
Speaking of this, Qian Mo suddenly remembered the strange phenomena of heaven and earth in the Ji Sili Mountains back then.
On the Blood Red Sun, the news of the Demon Lord's arrival swept across the Southern Region like a storm.
At that time, everyone in the Southern Region was already in danger, fearing that something would go wrong.
Could it be that such strange rumors have appeared in the Southern Region now, which has caused them to start to divert?
Xiaomu pinched Qianmo's hand and said in a gentle voice, "What are you thinking?"
Qian Mo came to his senses, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, I remember some things. Mu'er, I have to go out tonight. I have to figure out this matter."
Xiaomu immediately said, "I'll be with you! I'm not at ease if you're alone. You're not at ease if you're alone!"
Qian Mo smiled slightly and said, "Okay, let's go together."
Xiao Mu nodded with satisfaction, that's just right.
Looking at the moonlight and the bustling crowd, Xiao Mu silently said, "Let's get into the night!"
...
As night fell, Fucheng finally fell into a brief tranquility. The city gate was closed, and no outsiders would come in the city for the time being.
Under the moonlight, two figures, one black and one white, shuttled through the streets. In front of them was a team of dozens of people.
Qianmo slowly followed them with a black hat.
It's late at night, and they are now looking for inns in the city. Qianmo is already familiar with this area, and slowly follows them and find a suitable opportunity.
They walked through roads because the group brought many horses and walked very slowly. They were obviously exhausted all the way, and the group had no communication along the way. They just followed the people who led the way forward silently.
After they entered a corner, Qianmo looked around and the time came.
Jumped down from the roof and blocked their way.
The group immediately became alert. After seeing that Qian Mo was only one, the tension in his heart became much less.
A unique accent from the Southern Region sounded, and he asked sternly, "Who is coming? Why is it blocking my way?"
Qian Mo did not answer, and he closed his hand and a powerful pressure pressed towards everyone.
They just felt dazed, and their bodies seemed to be carrying thousands of weights, which made them breathless.
At the same time, thousands of sword blades suddenly condensed in the air, aiming at them.
Qian Mo's cold voice rang out and said, "Don't be nervous, ask you something. As long as I answer honestly, I won't make things difficult for you. But if you have other ideas..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a person on his side's neck veins scattering and fell to the ground. The blade in his hand was pulled out a little, and there was still a cold light.
Qian Mo continued, "If you are lucky, you will be killed without mercy."
Seeing this scene, everyone felt a chill. When they came to Fucheng, they encountered such a monster, and their mood had already sunk to the bottom. Among them, several children in the convoy couldn't help crying.
The women and children next to him hugged the child tightly, knelt down, and said tremblingly, "Please let my child go. He is still young and doesn't know anything..."
Qian Mo felt helpless, cleared his throat and said coldly, "I don't like killing people. I just want to get the news I want. If you answer my questions truthfully, I won't make things difficult for you."
Qianmo pointed to the old man in the lead and said, "Come one by one, I will ask you the same questions. Once someone answers differently, you can all die."
After saying that, the old man's body suddenly floated and was taken to a corner next to him by Qian Mo. The rest of the people were still suppressed by the huge pressure in the air and did not move.
The old man's mental quality is much better than that of the other people in the team. You can tell at a glance that he is the backbone of the team.
He only heard him bent his waist and asked softly, "I don't know what the adults want to know? I must know everything."
Qian Mo nodded and said, "Are you from the Southern Region?"
The old man nodded and replied, "That's right."
Qian Mo nodded and continued to ask, "There are more and more people coming to Fucheng from the Southern Region recently. After my investigation, they are all family members of the royal and princes. I want to know what is the reason that all of you have to move out of the Southern Region?"
The old man looked embarrassed, but he quickly said firmly, "The southern region has been uneasy recently. Have you heard of the Ji Sili Mountains? There was a strange phenomenon there."
Qian Mo said secretly that it was almost the same as his guess, it was indeed the Ji Sili Mountains.
Qian Mo said, "I have heard of the endless mountains at the southernmost end of the Southern Region. When the Demon Lord came to the world, I heard that he was born in a strange phenomenon. But later, the Heavenly Palace sent someone to investigate, and nothing was discovered."
The old man sighed and said, "I don't know anything. Some time ago, the dark sea deep in the Ji Sili Mountains suddenly became turbulent and changing. The waves invaded the mountains. I heard that in the depths of the mountains, many plant lands along the way had been submerged."
"You know, the water of the Nether Sea is cold. Once ordinary people touch it, they will immediately turn into ice. Such terrifying sea water really makes us scared."
"Not only that, the blood-colored star lights above the Ji Sili Mountains are now illuminating, which is even more obvious in the depths. People who have heard that the originally dark red sky of the Ji Sili Mountains has now become bright red."
"This phenomenon is coming!"
Qian Mo looked at his anxious and irritable expression, which was not like lying. Could it be that any gods will be born and endanger the world?
Resisting the doubts in his heart, Qian Mo continued, "I haven't heard from others about this strange phenomenon in heaven and earth. What's going on?"
The old man said, "The Ji Sili Mountains have long been controlled by the top leaders of the Tiangong Palace, and there are very few people who can enter. Some city officials also need to spend a lot of effort and price to buy them, let alone ordinary people, who are not involved in these for the time being. So few people who really know this matter."
"This strange phenomenon was calculated by a strange man and a strange man around the domain master. His divination star method has never been miscalculated. Therefore, most of the high-ranking officials and nobles who knew about this matter began to transfer."
"There are very few people who know about this because the official side is afraid that the Southern Region will cause chaos and panic due to this. For the stability of the Southern Region, the city lord chose to suppress the news."
Qian Mo nodded, and he was calm on the surface, but his heart was already filled with turmoil.
