Next to the gate of the courtyard, an old beggar came at some point.

The old beggar had a white beard on his face, and he could not tell how old he was, his eyes were cloudy, his clothes were tattered, and he always lay against the eaves, just to shelter from the sun and rain.

There was a bag beside him, black and greasy, and no one else even wanted to look at it, let alone touch it.

But this bag, he regarded it as a treasure and always hugged it tightly.

Seeing that the old beggar was pitiful, when he hid under the eaves on the first day, Chen Yang brought him food at lunchtime.

After he finished eating, Chen Yang would take back the dishes and chopsticks.

This lasted for thirteen days, and the old beggar didn't say a word, just silently took the dishes and chopsticks, quickly ate them and returned them to Chen Yang, and then smiled and nodded in thanks.

Finally, on the fourteenth day, when the old beggar finished eating and returned the dishes and chopsticks to Chen Yang, he spoke: "I'm leaving tomorrow, are you interested in going with me?"

The old beggar's voice was hoarse, as if his throat had been broken.

Chen Yang had long felt that the old beggar was a little weird, but it was just an instinct on his part.

The old beggar has no momentum, his eyes are cloudy, and his limbs are weak, unlike a person who practices martial arts, Chen Yang can't tell what is strange about the old beggar.

Hearing the old beggar's words at this moment, his eyes lit up and he smiled: "I thought you were dumb, but it turns out that you can speak." Where will I go with you, to be a beggar?"

The old beggar said mysteriously, "Do you really think I'm a beggar?"

"Aren't you?"

Chen Yang asked rhetorically.

The old beggar nodded: "I am a beggar." ”

He shook his head again: "I'm not a beggar either. ”

Chen Yang smiled and asked, "Then where do you want me to go with you?"

The old beggar said, "A mysterious organization called Yanhuang Palace, are you interested in joining?"

"I haven't heard of it, and I'm not interested. ”

Chen Yang shook his head, he just wanted to live a quiet retirement life now, and he was not interested in any Yanhuang Palace, Huaxia Hall, Kyushu Mansion or anything.

However, he asked again: "Although I don't join, I want to know, what is the Yanhuang Palace, why did you find me?"

"Since you don't want to join, why should I tell you what Yanhuang Palace is?"

The old beggar smiled and said, "However, I can tell you why I found you." ”

Chen Yang said: "Let's hear it." ”

The old beggar stretched, stood up and leaned against the wall, and said, "There are fewer and fewer people in the Yanhuang Palace, but our work is very busy, so we need to fill in more fresh blood. You, on the other hand, are one of our goals. We have already collected information about your past, and you not only have strength, but also integrity, bravery, affection, and righteousness, so I will find you. ”

"Ahem, that's of course, after all, I'm a good Young Pioneer. ”

Chen Yang smiled, with a lazy expression on his face.

The old beggar shook his head: "Don't think that if you are low-key, you can live an ordinary life. We are the same kind of people, we are born extraordinary, and we are destined to be extraordinary in this life. ”

Chen Yang teased: "Hearing you say this, how can I feel like I am a genius." ”

"Aren't you?"

The old beggar laughed.

Chen Yang smiled, and then boasted seriously: "I am barely a little better than ordinary people, and my IQ is only two or three times higher." ”

"Hahahaha......"

The old beggar laughed and said, "You have no serious character, and you should be in the same vein as Lingshi." ”

Chen Yang said unexpectedly, "Do you know my master?"

The old beggar looked respectful: "The name of Daoist Xuanji is like thunder, but I have never met him. If you count it, Daoist Xuanji should be my senior. ”

Seeing that the old beggar knew his master, Chen Yang hurriedly asked, "What is the origin of my master?"

Chen Yang actually didn't know anything about the background of the master.

At this moment, he met someone who knew the master, where was he willing to let go of the opportunity to ask.

The old beggar said: "I'm sorry, since Xuanji's predecessor didn't tell you the information he had, it must have his intentions." As an outsider, I really don't need to say much. ”

Chen Yang looked disappointed, but he didn't force it.

The old beggar comforted: "Don't worry, if you have the opportunity, you will definitely know the identity of Xuanji's predecessors." ”

"Hey, Lao Li is an old man who is greedy for alcohol, where does he have any identity. ”

Chen Yang pursed his mouth and complained.

Hearing this, the old beggar was stunned, and then smiled dumbly: "Sure enough, it is a famous teacher and a high apprentice, and I have seen it today." ”

"It's true that the high apprentice is not necessarily a famous teacher. ”

Chen Yang didn't give the master face at all, and said with a smile.

The old beggar was speechless for a while, and he didn't talk about this topic anymore, and said to Chen Yang, "Since you don't want to join the Yanhuang Palace, then I will leave." This is my business card, if you change your decision, or if you need help, you can contact me. ”

As he spoke, he handed Chen Yang a metal business card, which did not have any patterns or words except for a phone number.

Chen Yang put away his business card and said to the old beggar, "I'll see you again when I have a chance." ”

"Farewell. ”

The old beggar smiled and turned to walk out of the alley.

His pace was very slow, but after a few ups and downs, he was already a hundred meters away.

"Master!"

Chen Yang's eyes lit up, and when the old beggar disappeared, he took out his business card and looked at it carefully, and muttered: "Yanhuang Palace? ”

Shaking his head, Chen Yang put away his business card and entered the courtyard.

At this time, the mobile phone rang, and it was Xiao Jiu calling.

Xiao Jiu was instructed by Chen Yang to be responsible for Yang Xuewei's safety during her exchange at Stanford University.

Now that he is calling, it must be related to Yang Xuewei.

"Boss. ”

Xiao Jiu's voice was very low, obviously in trouble.

Chen Yang said: "Let's say it directly." ”

Xiao Jiu said: "I'm sorry, boss, something happened, Professor Yang was arrested." ”

Chen Yang frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"I arranged a total of ten groups of people, two people in each group, divided into different time periods, to secretly protect Professor Yang. But this morning, U.S. time, none of the 10 groups sent me any news. I hurriedly sent someone to check, and found that all ten groups of people had been drugged and fainted in their respective cars, and Professor Yang was nowhere to be found. So far, Professor Yang should have been missing for ten hours, and no news has come yet. ”

Hearing Xiao Jiu's words, Chen Yang knew that this was no coincidence, the other party was targeted, otherwise he would not have leveled the ten groups of people arranged by Xiao Jiu.

And the real purpose of the other party can only be known when the other party takes the initiative to contact.

Chen Yang's face sank, and he immediately said to Xiao Jiu: "I'll rush to California now, you wait for me." ”
