Qi Shuang had no objection to Shen Qing's proposal. After all, the only purpose of her trip was to help Shen Qing complete this matter.
At least, that's how it looks on the surface.
So the two of them left the inn together and went straight to the inn where Du Yanzhe had arranged a hidden stake.
The sky was gloomy, with thunder exploding from time to time, and lightning flashing across the sky, making the dark clouds seem to be torn apart and bright for a moment.
"Sister Qi, this trip will probably not be too smooth. If something unexpected happens, you must take care of yourself. Du Yanzhe is very good at poisoning, and the poison is shockingly powerful."
Shen Qing glanced at the sky that seemed to portend something ominous, feeling a little worried.
"Haha, you know how to care about your sister now?" Qi Shuang's eyes flashed and she teased with a charming smile.
Shen Qing turned his head and stopped looking at her, and did not continue to talk. He told Qi Shuang, naturally it was not out of concern, but even if there was an inspector in front of him, Qi Shuang was here to help after all.
Yes, both emotionally and rationally, he should be reminded.
But since Qi Shuang seemed to care about everything, it didn't matter to him, because Qi Shuang was very shrewd and would never suffer losses. If she was not sure, how could she be so calm?
To put it bluntly, if something unexpected happens, Shen Qing just needs to take care of himself and don't hold Qi Shuang back.
The two of them walked quickly and soon arrived at the inn. Shen Qing knocked on the door and received the same hidden pile as before.
Since they had already discussed it before, they didn't say much and directly made a gesture to lead the two of them to the backyard of the inn.
When they got to the backyard, the hidden stake took out two pieces of black cloth, turned around and said very politely: "You two, according to the rules of the world, please forgive me?"
Shen Qing was a little disgusted with this kind of behavior, but Qi Shuang, like Lao Zhanghu, took the black cloth without any dissatisfaction and covered his eyes.
The hidden stake said he was offended again, and after checking again, he looked at Shen Qing.
Shen Qing had no choice but to follow the instructions. After confirming that there was no problem with the two of them, the hidden stake activated some mechanism in front of a rockery, and a corridor was revealed.
Then he started walking with his eyes darkened, and I don't know if there was some mechanism deliberately designed by them in this corridor. There was always a strange sound that shook the eardrums, making people's hearing very limited.
I walked like this for who knows how long, and it seemed that even the concept of time was gradually becoming blurred, when I finally remembered the sound of the hidden pile.
"You two, you can take off your blindfolds now."
Hearing this, Shen Qing and Qi Shuang took off their black cloths and looked at each other immediately.
Then, look around.
The scene in front of them was very different from before. They never imagined that when they could see things again, they were in front of a wilderness.
And this wilderness seems to be extremely vast, except for a small pavilion at the end of the line of sight.
"You two, our chief shopkeeper will be waiting over there. You can just go over there."
The two of them nodded, and then the hidden pile cupped his hands, "The younger one will leave first."
When the hidden stake left, the two of them would naturally observe secretly, but the wilderness was really vast, so the hidden stake just went north, without activating any mechanism or anything during the whole process, and just walked to the end of the sight of the two of them.
I don't know where to go in the end.
The two looked at each other again, and Shen Qing was the first to speak: "Sister Qi, I still don't know enough about Wuyun Outer City. As far as you know, is there such a large wilderness near Wuyun Outer City?"
Qi Shuang pondered for a moment after hearing this, "There shouldn't be, at least in my impression, there really isn't. By the way, the area near Yongcheng, a hundred miles away, is full of continuous grass and fields, but in such a short time, we can walk out
A hundred miles away?"
Shen Qing shook his head, "I counted secretly just now. From the first step to the moment I took off the black cloth, I walked a total of just over five hundred steps."
"Five hundred and fifteen." Qi Shuang agreed. Obviously, with her shrewdness, she would secretly note this approximate distance.
Since there is no rough deviation in the calculations between the two, it means that the distance is indeed roughly like this, and if you expand outward from the center of the post station, you should still be in that street for more than 500 steps, and it cannot be a vast wilderness at all.
"There is a high probability that it is some kind of blinding technique, or a particularly powerful phantom drug, which can also reach this level."
Qi Shuang analyzed it seriously and could see that although she had been calm and calm before, she had actually entered the "tiger's den" and she still had a cautious attitude.
After Qi Shuang said this, Shen Qing was quite awakened. He suddenly felt that the last time the Golden Palace was the same, there was no such a magnificent building at all, everything was just an illusion?
If this is the case, it would be really difficult to completely destroy Blackstone Pharmacy, because Du Yanzhe always kept a secret, and the true appearance of his lair had never been shown to Shen Qing...
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time."
Shen Qing thought in his heart, after all, this was really not something he could handle, because as long as Du Yanzhe didn't want to, and Du Yanzhe certainly didn't want to expose his lair easily, he had no chance to find out.
So the two of them headed in the opposite direction from where the hidden pile had left just now, with the target also being the pavilion at the end of their sight.
The wind roared and the grass blew. Although they knew that most of this was an illusion, the two of them still couldn't help but feel like they were walking on the vast grassland, because everything was too real, so real that people kept doubting it.
Maybe it’s true!
"Haha, Du Yanzhe's methods are really powerful."
Shen Qing suddenly smiled and immediately raised his hand to point to the sky.
The sky here is as gloomy as the outside world. It can be said that the details are extremely well done, and it can be said that it is fake and real.
Qi Shuang also smiled and said, "It's really powerful, but compared to the masters who are really good at it, it's just a little trick."
"Oh? Sister Qi has seen more powerful illusions or poisoning techniques?"
The pavilion was still far away and there was nothing going on, so Shen Qing did not control his curiosity and chatted for a few words.
"I haven't seen it before, but I have heard of it after all. After all, our Tiandao Chamber of Commerce has a wide range of contacts, and people in all fields are involved."
When she said this, Qi Shuang had no special expression, but Shen Qing felt that she was probably being modest.
Of course, it may be that I just don’t want to talk too much to myself.
Afterwards, the two of them just chatted wordlessly, and before they knew it, the pavilion was already in front of them.
In the pavilion, Du Yanzhe saw Shen Qing coming, and beside him was the famous Miss Qi Shuangqi. He immediately stood up, bowed respectfully in the direction the two came from, and bowed.
"Mr. Shen, Miss Qi, please make it easy for Du to wait!"
His tone was full of excitement, which was not fake, because this business was definitely a dream for him.
"Haha, Shopkeeper Du, if your people hadn't blindfolded us, maybe you wouldn't have had to wait so long."
Qi Shuang sneered and said this, which can be said to have given Du Yanzhe a disastrous start.
Hearing this, Du Yanzhe just wanted to straighten up, then quickly bent back, "I'm sorry, sorry, I'm really sorry, but you two have to understand this kind of thing. If you are wronged, Du will do it yourself later." I'm punished with three cups of wine, so I should apologize!"
"Liu San and Chen Er, what are you doing standing still? Hurry up and let them have tea and wine!"
In addition to Du Yanzhe in the pavilion, there are his two capable men Chen Er and Liu San. Du Yanzhe seems to take these two people with him wherever he goes. Even if he is the best, he has to take one of them with him, so Shen Qing is completely There is reason to believe that these two people are not only his right-hand men, but also his strongest combat power, or bodyguards.
But to be honest, regardless of Liu San or Chen Er, if you just look at their appearance, they are not the kind of tigers and wolves. They are even a bit like errand boys. It can be said that they do not correspond to their identities at all. aura.
But the more this happened, the more Shen Qing felt that the two of them were quite capable, because it was easy to show off their strengths, but it was really difficult to hide them deeply.
Obviously, Qi Shuang also felt this way, so her eyes were not on Du Yanzhe at the first moment, but on Liu San and Chen Er, lingering for a long time before moving elsewhere.
Of course, Qi Shuang always looked at her directly, so she didn't need to avoid anything. When Liu San and Chen Er were looked at by her, they all chose to avoid looking at her. This can be interpreted as not daring to look at her. , but it can also be explained as not wanting to give Qi Shuang any chance to penetrate their hearts.
"Miss Qi, Mr. Du has really admired your name for a long time. When I saw you today, I realized that you are more charming than I thought. You are really like a fairy descending to earth. You make us feel ashamed!"
"Haha, Shopkeeper Du, you and I are both businessmen, and we should understand the preciousness of time best, so there is no need to talk about these insignificant nonsense, right?"
"After all, whether you, Shopkeeper Du, have the ability to do business with me doesn't depend on just a few kind words from you."
Qi Shuang's cold face was clearly displayed in front of Du Yanzhe. Shen Qing watched from the side and admired this woman's "versatile nature" more and more.
"Hahaha, Miss Qi's words are indeed straightforward, so Du will stop being pretentious, Chen Er!"
Hearing the call, Chen Er quickly took out a piece of brocade silk from his sleeve and respectfully presented it with both hands, "Miss Qi, this is the plan that our shopkeeper prepared overnight. Please take a look at it."
Qi Shuang slowly stretched out her hand and stared at Chen Er for a moment. At this moment, it would be better to say that she was a queen than a woman. That kind of momentum made Chen Er feel a little guilty.
