Master Zhao at the foot of Mount Qingcheng
Chapter 22 Thin Ice
A tall middle-aged man dressed in high-quality materials was doing calculations against the account book. After a loud noise outside, he stopped his movements and frowned: "Why is there so much noise outside?"
"Master, something is wrong!"
The little dwarf came in along the secret passage, and knelt down with a "plop": "The killer we hired outside is chasing and killing Tang Xuan. They messed up the casino, and a few of our people were also lost."
"Who is Tang Xuan?"
"Chu Zhongke's disciple!"
With a "click", the abacus beads that Chen Duojin was fiddling with were crushed by him.
Chen Duojin's gloomy and hoarse voice sounded in the silent cave: "Who are you talking about?"
"Strange scholar, a disciple of Chu Zhongke." The dwarf quickly explained, "It's absolutely true! He claimed to be from the middle of Sichuan, grew up in the northwest, and his surname is Tang, and he can climb the ladder! The killer who chased him just now also said Tang Xuan It's Chu Zhongke's disciple, I guess, he can't be..."
Chen Duojin slowly showed a ferocious smile: "Oh? Really? This is too coincidental."
As Chen Duojin said, he reached for the crutch next to the stool, dragged one leg, and planned to come out secretly: "I have to meet him now, and see if he is my good nephew, and my one is all thanks to Chuzhong." The leg given by the guest, I will ask his apprentice to return it."
Chen Duojin quickly walked out of the secret passage, looking at the chaotic situation below, the dwarf pointed at the person who was dodging nimbly: "That's him."
Chen Duo Jinzai looked at Zhao Xuan carefully: "It doesn't look like his parents, but the lightness kung fu is indeed the way of Chu Zhongke."
Leaning on crutches, Chen Duojin instantly came to the masked man and blocked his way: "Enough, this is not a place for you to run amok!"
Chen Duojin knows kung fu, and it's not bad, otherwise he wouldn't have narrowly escaped death under Chu Zhongke's hands.Stopping in front of the masked man at this moment, the other party naturally recognized him, after all, it was the workshop owner who invited him out of the mountain in person.
The masked man stopped at the right time, and his sharp eyes swept over Zhao Xuan: "Very well, I won't do anything about Duojinfang. If you have the ability, just stay here and don't come out, otherwise you will wait for me to take your life and report my senior brother as black." The hatred of evil."
The masked man seemed very angry, and left in a huff.
After Chen Duojin thought about it, he also understood the reason why the masked man chased and killed Zhao Xuan.
There was no Zhao Sifan in the Jianghu at all, so except for a few insiders, most of them thought that the disappearance of Heisha had nothing to do with Chu Zhongke. After all, the battle between the two had already made the world think that they were incompatible. Some people also applauded Chu Zhongke for getting rid of that big devil.
It's just that Heisha never appeared again later. On the contrary, Chu Zhongke came forward to deal with Chen Sanjin in the past 20 years, so there were rumors that Heisha died in the hands of Chu Zhongke.
As soon as the masked man left, Chen Duojin ordered someone to appease the crowd in the dungeon, and then asked someone to tell the masters in the workshop to come and look at the masked man, and then confronted Zhao Xuan.
"Are you a disciple of Chu Zhongke?"
Zhao Xuan nodded: "Yes."
"Coincidentally, your master and I are old friends." Chen Duojin showed a strange smile, "Would you like to come up and have a cup of tea with me? We have been away for many years, and let me entertain his apprentices as a landlord."
Zhao Xuan asked back, "Who are you?"
"Chen Duojin, the owner of this place."
Seeing him suddenly, Zhao Xuan secretly thought that this person finally came out, and he couldn't wish for it: "The owner of the workshop invited me personally, how can I not go."
Chen Duojin didn't look at Lin Chaoyu from the beginning to the end, and didn't intend to invite him right now, so he turned his head and said to the short man, "You say hello to the guy next to Tang Shaoxia."
"Xuan'er and I are together!" Lin Chaoyu grabbed Zhao Xuan's hand in desperation, and seemed to have the cheek to follow, "We came together."
"Little brother, there are still many interesting places in Duojinfang, and there are also many beauties here..."
"No need!" Lin Chaoyu interrupted Chen Duojin as if eager to prove something, and said seriously, "I'm not interested in beauties at all."
"I'm sorry, our master doesn't see outsiders." The dwarf stepped forward to block Lin Chaoyu, "Guest officer, come with me, and I'll show you around."
Zhao Xuan also intentionally didn't want Lin Chaoyu to follow him, he was not an ordinary person who escaped from Chu Zhongke's hands and hid for many years without a trace of news, it would be safer to stay in the dungeon, so he said to Lin Chaoyu: "You are here Wait for me, I'll be back soon."
Lin Chaoyu was stunned for a moment, and he also understood what Zhao Xuan meant, knowing that no matter how much he worried, it was useless, and it would make people suspicious if he persisted, so he had to compromise: "I know."
He already knew that Zhao Xuan had the temperament to go everywhere on his own, and no one could hold him back.
As soon as Zhao Xuan left with him over there, Lin Chaoyu immediately said to the dwarf, "People have three urgencies, where is your hut?"
The dwarf led the way: "This way please."
Lin Chaoyu followed behind him, keeping an eye on his surroundings until the short man turned into an underground passage with no one there, and slit his throat with a knife from behind.
The dwarf knew some kung fu, but he was too careless. He didn't expect that Lin Chaoyu would dare to do it like this. By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late.
Lin Chaoyu took the dagger and wiped the other's corpse's clothes twice to wipe off the blood, and said indifferently behind him: "Dispose of the corpse."
Qinglinwei appeared behind him: "Yes."
Lin Chaoyu: "After dealing with it, go to the dungeon to find Zhao Xuan and Chen Duojin, mark it when you find it, and don't act rashly."
Qing Linwei took the order to leave, but Lin Chaoyu didn't move, but said to the passageway: "Senior."
The masked man appeared from the entrance of the cave and stared at Lin Chaoyu for a long time, as if he was comparing himself with the scholar he met at the beginning.
After a long time, he said blankly: "I didn't see anything, I just came to get paid."
He said he didn't see it, so he didn't see it. Lin Chaoyu naturally understood, and without revealing it, he readily gave all the money: "I'll add another 100 taels, and I want something from senior."
"Ok?"
Lin Chaoyu: "The secret passages of the underground city are distributed here."
"I've been in the ring for several years, and I know some, but not much."
The masked man used money to do things, so he didn't care about Chen Duojin's life or death. Since Lin Chaoyu was willing to pay, he was naturally very happy.
"It doesn't matter, senior knows how much to paint." Lin Chaoyu took out paper and charcoal sticks from his arms after all the preparations: "Senior, please...does this dungeon have a kitchen or something?"
"Yes, I know this." The masked man said and marked this place first.
After the masked man finished drawing, Lin Chaoyu took the picture and gave the masked man a sapphire unicorn pendant: "Senior, after leaving Duojinfang with this, someone will come to you. You just need to explain your purpose, and someone will give you 100 yuan." Two, just give them the jade pendant later."
The masked man stared at the jade pendant, his temples twitched, finally heaved a sigh, and said helplessly, "So it's Qinglinwei. I don't want to have anything to do with the imperial court. I will treat this picture as a gift for you."
Lin Chaoyu expected that the other party would not want it, so he took the jade pendant back very naturally: "Thank you, senior, you are too generous."
Masked man: "..."
The other party obviously didn't like this junior very much, and didn't want to have any more communication with Lin Chaoyu, so he left without looking back.
Lin Chaoyu stayed on the spot to identify his position, and then quietly moved forward against the roof of the tunnel.
"My lord." Wen Renyue, dressed as a dancer, showed up at the corner dragging the beater who had already passed out, and threw him in front of Lin Chaoyu, "I still hold my breath."
"That, my lord..."
Wen Renyue showed hesitation, Lin Chaoyu signaled the other party to speak if they wanted to.
"Before lurking for so long, this time it is too aggressive. If it fails, it will fall short."
"There is always going to be a big commotion today, and it's okay to do it now." Lin Chaoyu said, "I was wondering why Xuan'er rushed here to meet Chen Duojin, but he said his surname was Tang, and he pretended to be Chu Zhong It can be said that he used Tang Feng's identity as a guest's disciple. Back then, Chen Duojin killed his sister's family, and her brother-in-law was from the Tang family. If Tang Feng was his sister's son, then everything would make sense. "
Wen Renyue thought of that foxy eye who was always haunting her today, and she was a little moved: "Could it be that Master Zhao wants to do something to Chen Duojin?"
"It's hard to get close to Chen Duojin. If you don't do it, you won't be Zhao Xuan." Lin Chaoyu said, "This person is better than him, but if he wants to bring down the prince, he can't keep a place like Duojinfang, just this gambling house Secretly smuggling salt and iron is enough to kill Chen Duojin a hundred times."
Lin Chaoyu threw the drawing to Wen Renyue: "Go to the left and find the part circled in the picture. There is the kitchen."
Wen Renyue was puzzled: "Master, do you suspect that there is a secret passage in the kitchen leading to where?"
"Maybe." Lin Chaoyu looked enigmatic, paused, and then said quite calmly, "Xuan'er hadn't had dinner when she came here."
Wen Renyue: "..."
She got it.
Wen Renyue had a weird expression on her face, but she always obeyed orders, she dared not raise any objections, and went to the kitchen to get food for Zhao Xuan resignedly.
Lin Chaoyu glanced at the unconscious person on the ground, and drove a dagger into the opponent's hand, sealing the opponent's dumb acupuncture point at the moment when the opponent woke up from pain, preventing him from screaming.
Lin Chaoyu: "The foreigners in Duojinfang come in more and leave less, and the number here is far less than the number coming in, so which channel do they go when they leave?"
Seeing the other party shaking his head, Lin Chaoyu continued: "I give you two choices. One, tell the passage and lead the way, and spare your life. Two, don't even think about using your fingers and toes anymore. Don't worry, my hands are always quick and I won't After the cut off, the flesh still hangs and has to be pulled off by hand."
The other party couldn't make a sound, his eyes almost popped out, and Lin Chaoyu didn't give him time to think, so he said directly: "I'm in a hurry, count to three. One...two..."
"Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!"
Lin Chaoyu leaned over and pulled out the dagger, causing the opponent to scream again silently.
Lin Chaoyu: "Very well, but don't play tricks in front of me. Before you, there was a short-minded and cunning dwarf. The corpse has probably been disposed of by now."
"Master, something is wrong!"
The little dwarf came in along the secret passage, and knelt down with a "plop": "The killer we hired outside is chasing and killing Tang Xuan. They messed up the casino, and a few of our people were also lost."
"Who is Tang Xuan?"
"Chu Zhongke's disciple!"
