The two people guarding outside the inn were already dozing off. The inn only had one door and no one came in or out in the middle of the night. It seemed like the youths were asleep.
"It's just a few kids. Why does the hall master want us to follow them?" One of them couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
"Don't make a fuss. We'll do whatever the hall master wants us to do." The other tugged at his clothes and looked into the inn to tell his companion to stop talking. Although their voices were low, it was still late at night and the surroundings were silent. No matter how low they spoke, their voices would still be heard.
The complaining youth curled his lips and dozed off in the corner.
Ming Xi and Fire Phoenix were right above their heads as they silently returned to the inn. They were so fast that they couldn't even see their shadows.
"I think I saw a shadow." The cotton clothed man nudged his companion.
"What shadow?" His companion immediately stood up and looked around. There wasn't even a shadow of a dog, "You saw a ghost."
"Bullshit!" The cotton clothed man scolded.
His companion said, "Why don't we just go back?"
"Shut up and stand guard." The cotton clothed man shouted. He must have seen wrongly. It might have been the shadow of the tree at the door.
Xu Jinbei didn't dare sleep and kept waiting for Ming Xi to return. Although he knew that nothing would happen to Ming Xi and Fire Phoenix, he couldn't help but worry about them. Seeing them walk in, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
"How is it? Were we discovered? "Xu Jinbei asked nervously.
"How could we be discovered when we went out?" Fire Phoenix said with a smile.
Xu Jinbei smiled, "Did you find any clues?"
Ming Xi sat down and said, "The people in the Chen Family's secret room are with Teng Ye today. They should also be at the Thousand Floor Tower today. They really think I'm Fang Yanjun."
"The Thousand Floor Tower really is related to Teng Ye." Xu Jinbei clapped his hands together, "Ming Xi, what should we do next?"
"I feel that Teng Ye is not only related to the Thousand Floor Tower." Fire Phoenix said in a low voice.
Ming Xi nodded, "From what they said, there should be someone in the capital who is conspiring with them. This person is most likely in the military. As for who it is, we still need to investigate."
"Teng Ye used to be a commander of the Hidden Guards, how could he have this kind of ability?" Xu Jinbei asked in shock.
"So there must be someone even more powerful than him behind him." Ming Xi said lightly, "Didn't they suspect that I was Fang Yanjun? We'll beat them at their own game. "
Xu Jinbei said, "What if they've seen Fang Yanjun before?"
"If someone had seen it, they wouldn't have sent people to follow us." Ming Xi lightly said.
"I don't know who this person is." Xu Jinbei said in a low voice.
Ming Xi squinted at the moonlight outside the window. Maybe there was more than one person.
…
…
The next day, when Ming Xi and the others walked out of the inn, the two people guarding the door had already disappeared. In their place were two people they hadn't seen yesterday hiding in a corner.
"They really think you're the Fang family's young master." Fire Phoenix said with a smile.
"It's a pity that we don't know what this Fang Yanjun looks like. If they understood him, they would quickly know that Mingxi isn't Fang Yanjun." Xu Jinbei said with some regret.
Ming Xi lightly smiled, "Then we'll let them understand."
If Teng Ye really wanted to rope in the Fang family, with his strength alone, he definitely wouldn't be able to convince Fang Yunsong. Fang Yunsong was able to stabilize the Fang family in such a low-key and secluded situation, so he definitely wasn't an ordinary person. If he wanted to sit on the same boat as Teng Ye, then he must feel that Teng Ye had the confidence to win.
Teng Ye's chances of winning were not high.
"Let's go over there and take a look." Ming Xi suddenly stopped and walked into a jade shop.
"Young master, these are all imported goods from overseas." Xu Jinbei said, playing the role of a manservant to perfection.
Ming Xi still had the image of a noble young master from yesterday. He raised his eyes to look at the jade shop's shopkeeper, "Are these imported from Tianjin City?"
"Young master has good eyesight. Our boss is from Tianjin City and this shop is our branch store. If the goods in our shop are fake, we'll pay you back ten times. They are definitely authentic imported goods." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Oh, I can't see anything special about these. We have a lot of them at home. Do you have anything rare?" Ming Xi asked.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "We do. Young master, please go to the VIP room and look at the tea. I'll immediately invite our boss over."
Xu Jinbei looked at Ming Xi with doubt. He felt that Ming Xi wouldn't care about these kinds of things. Was there something strange about this shop?
"Thousand Gold House again. Could it be that it has something to do with Qian Luocha?" Xu Jinbei asked Fire Phoenix in a low voice.
"Of course not." Fire Phoenix said in a low voice, "Yao Yao has a shop in Tianjin City called Thousand Gold Shop."
Xu Jinbei glanced at his surroundings without batting an eyelid.
The shopkeeper brought Ming Xi and the others to a side room. There were two people who wanted to follow them in, but they didn't know where Ming Xi and the others went.
"Ming Xi, do you like these things?" Shang'er held a porcelain bowl in her hand, "I have a jade bowl. It's much better looking than this. Do you want it?"
"I want it. Give it to me." Fire Phoenix immediately said.
Shang'er took one out from her bosom, "For you."
"…" Fire Phoenix held the jade bowl. They were both divine beasts, but true dragons were different.
Ming Xi smiled and said, "No need to take it out. I just came in to take a look."
Before long, there was a knock on the door.
A man wearing an embroidered robe walked in from outside.
Ming Xi looked up at the person. It was just as he had guessed.
"Lord Shen, what a coincidence. When did you resign to do business in the Wasteland?" Ming Xi's exquisite brows held a faint smile.
The man who walked in had ordinary features. He had a mustache and didn't look like Shen Yi at all.
"Young Master Ming Xi's eyes are like torches. You're the first to recognize me." Shen Yi smiled.
"Lord Shen?" Xu Jinbei looked at him in shock, "You really resigned?"
Shen Yi laughed lightly, "Yes. I heard that there are business opportunities everywhere in the Wasteland, so I came to try."
Ming Xi pointed to the seat in front of him, "Lord Shen, please sit."
"Young Master, if you hadn't called me personally, I'm afraid you wouldn't have recognized me in front of you." Shen Yi sighed. He thought that his disguise skills were pretty good. It was clear that Ming Xi and the others were even better.
"How long has Lord Shen been here?" Ming Xi asked mildly.
Shen Yi said, "Just a few days. This shop was bought not long ago. The name of the shop looks pretty good."
"It is indeed pretty good." What a coincidence. Ming Xi looked at Shen Yi with a smile that didn't seem like a smile.
"The Emperor sent me." Shen Yi lowered his voice, "If Young Master has any instructions, can I do it?"
His mother must have told his uncle.
"Lord Shen, how long will it take for you to find out everything about the Fang Family's young master?" Ming Xi asked mildly.
