110 News from the Outside
Chapter 110
As soon as they heard the loud voice, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo knew who the owner of the voice was without even looking at the person. It was the cultivator named Zhong whom they met in the wine shop in Nandou Town.
Feng Ming had the deepest memory of him calling "Big Brother Qiao" and "Little Brother Qiao". When he heard it again, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.
The Miyou Butterfly that was previously placed to patrol the surroundings discovered that someone had come, but neither of them deliberately avoided it. After entering the mountains for some time, they could sometimes hear some news from other cultivators.
The cultivator named Zhong greeted Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo very enthusiastically. Their mercenary team camped nearby for the night, and everyone gathered together to chat.
Cheng Miao is actually quite introverted. He was an exception when he talked so much about himself to Feng Ming and the others before. At this time, he just listened to other people quietly, which was similar to his previous performance.
Zhong Xiuzhe said something without any hesitation: "Have you noticed that there are more cultivators coming to the deep mountains recently?"
Feng Ming nodded quickly: "That's right. Not to mention those on the ground, there are three waves of people in the sky today. Aren't they heading for the Nether Valley?"
Zhong Xiuzhe said: "In fact, it is also related to the Nether Valley. It was recently revealed that a cultivator found a valley deep in our Nan Dou Mountains. There grows a strange herb called the Seven Leaf Cordyceps.
This thing is very strange, it is both a grass and a bug, and it is poisonous in itself, but it can fight poison with poison. It is said to restrain the poison gas in the Nether Valley. Because of this news, many forces have sent people to snatch the Seven Leaf Cordyceps there in the past two days. "
Feng Ming was a little surprised: "I didn't expect that there is such a strange herb deep in the mountains. It seems that it is not fully mature yet. Otherwise, it would have been picked up by the cultivators who discovered it long ago. Then, ordinary cultivators like us would not be able to participate in the competition."
Cultivator Zhong agreed with a look of approval: "That's right. Our mercenary team has received news that many noble families have sent experts there. If we want to participate in the competition, we estimate that only Yuandan Realm strongmen are qualified."
Feng Ming gasped: "So, there will be chaos in the depths of our Nandou Mountains. Although we will not participate in the fight for the exotic grass, it should be okay for us to run nearby to watch the excitement. "
The cultivator surnamed Zhong showed a "fellow cultivator" expression: "It should be okay, but it's best to stay away. When Yuandan realm masters fight, the affected area is very wide. Stay away to avoid being dragged in and suffering innocently."
Feng Ming was interested: "Brother Zhong, tell us about that place and how we can get there."
"Okay."
The two of them happily reached a consensus and set out for the valley early tomorrow morning to watch the fight between Yuandan realm masters and broaden their horizons.
The other companions of cultivator Zhong acted helpless, but in fact they also had their own intentions.
Bai Qiaomo certainly would not object to Feng Ming's decision, and Cheng Miao was the one who couldn't make a decision.
He couldn't stay in this dangerous mountain alone. Only by following Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo could he have a chance to leave safely and go back to see his grandfather.
Zhong Xiuzhe and the Qiao brothers were talking excitedly. After talking about the strange grass incident, Zhong Xiuzhe stared at Cheng Miao for a few more times, which made the latter feel a little uncomfortable.
Feng Ming smiled: "Brother Zhong, do you know our friend?"
Zhong Xiuzhe knew that it was not very polite to stare at the two children like this, but he said: "This little brother looks familiar. Are you from the Cheng family in Pingwang City?"
It seems that Zhong Xiuzhe has really seen Cheng Miao. Cheng Miao was not surprised. He nodded slightly and said: "I am Cheng Miao from the Cheng family."
Zhong Xiuzhe slapped his thigh and said: "Sure enough, you are Cheng Miao, the grandson of Captain Shi of the Golden Eagle Mercenary Corps, right? But how come you are alone in this mountain range and meet my two brothers? "
Before Cheng Miao could explain, one of his companions called out, "Captain Shi's grandson Cheng Miao? Boss, I just received a message from the Golden Eagle Mercenary Corps, asking all the mercenary corps entering the mountains to help find a person, that is, Captain Shi's grandson Cheng Miao. If you can find clues and traces, you can get a favor from the Golden Eagle Mercenary Corps."
Cheng Miao's eyes suddenly turned red. It was only two days after his accident, and those people had already left the mountains. Grandpa also got the news of his disappearance, so people searched for his whereabouts.
Sure enough, among these relatives, grandpa cared about him the most and would spend a lot of effort to find him.
After leaving here, he would tell grandpa that he didn't want to go back to the Cheng family anymore, and just wanted to stay with grandpa.
Even if his aptitude for cultivation is poor, he can still do some odd jobs in his grandfather's mercenary team.
He is not afraid of hardships and sufferings, which is better than being plotted against and losing his life at any time. As
soon as Zhong Xiuzhe saw Cheng Miao's expression, he knew that there was something else going on, and asked his "brother Xiao Qiao": "What's going on? Do you want to send a message to the Golden Eagle Mercenary Team?"
Feng Ming first glanced at Cheng Miao's expression, and seeing that he had no intention of objecting, he simply said: "When we met him, he happened to be chased by a group of wild beasts. We rescued him and kept him with us, thinking of taking him out when we left."
"He was plotted against. Someone put beast-attracting powder on him."
"Fuck! Who is plotting against Senior Shi's grandson? Don't want to live?" someone shouted.
Some people also sneered, "If he hadn't been rescued and the existence of the beast-attracting powder hadn't been discovered, who would have known the truth of this matter? There are many things that are not allowed to be seen in the eyes of the public. In the end, I'm afraid that only Senior Shi will be heartbroken. Young Master Cheng is the only blood descendant of Senior Shi."
In this area, Captain Shi, Shi Yan, is a role model for many of their mercenaries.
Shi Yan, like them, started as a young mercenary. He was fortunate to join the Golden Eagle Mercenary Corps and worked his way up from the bottom until he became the leader of the Golden Eagle Mercenary Corps and reached the late stage of the Wudan realm.
This inspired many ordinary cultivators to want to become cultivators as courageous as him.
Speaking of Captain Shi, perhaps the only thing that makes people feel sorry is his children.
Captain Shi was extremely brave, but unfortunately his only daughter could not become a strong person like him and died early.
The only grandson left was not very qualified for cultivation, so Captain Shi could only leave him at his son-in-law's house and send people from the mercenary team to visit him regularly. He was worried that the Cheng family would treat his grandson unfairly, so Captain Shi would visit him in person when he was free.
To them, the Cheng family, his son-in-law's family, took advantage of Captain Shi and the leader of the Golden Eagle Mercenary Team.
The status of the Cheng family was inseparable from the help of Boss Shi, but it was a pity that his own daughter did not have the blessing to enjoy it, and it was his son-in-law, his son-in-law's second wife, and the whole family of the Cheng family that benefited.
In their opinion, the Cheng family should take good care of Cheng Miao.
They also thought that the Cheng family really took good care of Cheng Miao, but now looking at the pitiful Cheng Miao, including the carefree Zhong Xiuzhe, no longer think so.
"Which bastard dares to plot against Captain Shi's grandson? It's better not to have anything to do with the Cheng family, otherwise Captain Shi will get angry and turn the Cheng family upside down." Zhong Xiuzhe said with a curse.
Feng Ming asked Cheng Miao: "Do you want to report the news first?"
Cheng Miao raised his eyes and smiled. These mercenaries who seemed rude to the Zheng family of the Cheng family made him feel warm because they respected their grandfather so much. It was great.
"Isn't Brother Qiao going to that valley? Why don't you tell my grandfather's people that I've appeared there. When grandpa gets the news, he will definitely rush over there in person."
Feng Ming thought it was a good idea. Now that all kinds of powerful people have gathered there, it is very dangerous. Cheng Miao's grandfather attaches great importance to the safety of his grandson, so he would rush over there in person as soon as he heard the news.
So he said: "Let's do this, but we have to make sure that the message reaches the people of the Golden Eagle Mercenary Corps, and don't tell other people who want to inquire about the news, lest the news leaks out. Some people will see that Cheng Miao is fine and send people to deal with him." He said
again: "There won't be any problems in the Golden Eagle Mercenary Corps, right?"
Zhong Xiuzhe immediately shook his head: "No, if it weren't for Boss Shi's daughter marrying into the Cheng family, the talents of the Golden Eagle Mercenary Corps would not have anything to do with a family like the Cheng family, and the people of the Golden Eagle Mercenary Corps would not betray their boss for the benefits promised by the Cheng family."
"We only say that we have sent out traces in the valley, and outsiders don't know our exact location. When we get there, when Captain Shi shows up, Young Master Cheng will show up again."
"Yes, Brother Zhong is right, let's do this. In the next two days, I will change your clothes a little bit so that people can't recognize you."
Cheng Miao thought this arrangement was a good idea. After experiencing a life-and-death crisis, he was no longer so naive.
So, the cultivator who received the message of helping to find someone replied in this way, and then stopped replying to any messages received, waiting for the drama to begin.
In the eyes of these mercenaries, although they are not from the Golden Eagle Mercenary Corps, compared with the Cheng family and other aristocratic families, Cheng Miao is one of them.
One of their own was bullied and almost plotted to death. How could he bear it? Of course he was willing to cooperate.
Regardless of how the Golden Eagle Mercenary Corps would react to such a message, Feng Ming and his group had a good night's sleep. Early the next morning, when it was still light, Feng Ming disguised Cheng Miao.
This time he did not use a disguise pill, nor a jade pendant engraved with an illusion array, but used makeup to avoid exposing themselves first.
The changes were not big, just covering up the red mole between Cheng Miao's eyebrows that represented the identity of Shuang'er, and then modifying the lower facial contour, the original oval face became more angular.
Then changing into the clothes commonly worn by mercenaries, in the eyes of Zhong Xiuzhe and others, he immediately became a different person.
If they had seen Cheng Miao like this last night, Zhong Xiuzhe would never have associated him with Captain Shi's grandson.
"Wow, Xiao Qiao is really amazing."
Feng Ming laughed dryly. He only knew the simplest makeup techniques. If he used those makeup techniques to transform people, Zhong Xiuzhe and others would be shocked. Cheng
Miao also looked at himself in the mirror curiously. He was very satisfied with his disguise. In fact, he didn't want others to show him flattering or jealous looks because of his grandfather's identity after he ran out.
