Chapter 1310: The Man Behind the Curtain (1st Update)

"Die!" the shopkeeper roared, took out a handful of white powder from his arms, and threw it towards Xia Qingchen.

The powder emits a pungent smell, which can be seen to be a poisonous mist that is not light, once it touches a person, it will hurt people's eyes at least and take people's lives at worst.

Xia Qingchen raised his right hand expressionlessly, waved his sleeve robe lightly, and the hurricane rose with his arm, rolling all the white powder back upside down.

Ahh

The shopkeeper was covered in dust, and he couldn't help but cover his face and let out a miserable scream.

I saw that his face, neck, and the backs of his hands, as well as the powder that came into contact with his skin, were all rotting.

After a few weeks of falling to the ground, the shopkeeper gradually lost his voice, and only instinctively twitched.

"Master, is he an assassin?" Linglong suddenly realized, and quickly threw away the tea that was holding to his mouth, startled.

Her reaction was sluggish enough.

Xia Qingchen didn't say a word, stood in the tea pavilion, and slowly looked around.

Sharp eyes, sweeping around every corner.

It is likely that the killer behind the scenes was nearby to observe and confirm whether he was dead.

Suddenly, Xia Qingchen's pupils shrank slightly, and he found an afterimage sweeping through the gloomy alley.

"Wait here!" he briefly explained, and swept away.

After a few breaths, he rushed into the alley, and saw a figure walking over the wall in the distance.

He jumped onto the wall, looked down, and stopped.

On the other side of the wall, there are underground caves with four entrances.

It is unknown which one the murderer has gone, and the only way to find him is to rely on luck.

"Who could you be?" Xia Qingchen groped his chin and muttered.

The news that he set off to this dock was only known to his father and aunt, and the rest of the people didn't know that he had left Liulidu, let alone that he had come to this dock.

There is no way that his father and aunt will betray him, the only possibility is that he is being targeted by an organization with an extremely large intelligence network.

Therefore, the other party can track its dynamics at any time and arrive at the tea pavilion to ambush first.

Looking at the three realms, there is only one such intelligence organization - Dark Moon!

That dark organization known for assassination!

They have a staff all over the world and are the only force that can do this.

Even Tingxue Lou can't do this at the moment.

"Who is going to kill me?" Xia Qingchen pondered, could it be that he killed the Dead Moon at this moment, causing Dark Moon's second assassination?

He didn't know.

Deep in the cave at the far right entrance, a masked woman in a dark robe leaned against the stone wall panting for breath.

She was slender and delicate, her skin was as white as ivory, and she was panting at the moment, and her cheeks were slightly flushed.

She pulled off her mask, revealing a gentle and delicate jade face, like a girl next door, endearing.

It's just that those eyes have a coldness that ordinary people can't match.

If Xia Qingchen was there, he would definitely recognize that she was his cousin, Zhao Churan.

Or rather, the Holy Maiden of the Dark Moon - Forgetfulness!

Staring at the exit, Zhao Churan silently walked towards the depths of the cave, and did not turn his head back.

Tea pavilion.

Linglong waited boredly, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Xia Qingchen coming back, and immediately asked curiously: "Master, who wants to poison you, I'll poison him!"

She picked up a chopstick, dipped it in the poisonous tea on the ground, and said viciously.

Xia Qingchen stared at the corpse on the ground, and shook his head in contemplation: "No need, the other party may not want to poison me." ”

If the other party is really a person from the Dark Moon and wants to assassinate him, why not use a gold medal assassin like the Dead Moon who is good at using poison, but hire a black-hearted shop full of flaws?

It is not so much that the other party is killing him, but that he is deliberately letting him know that someone is going to assassinate him.

Let them be more careful on the next road to avoid being poisoned.

"Maybe I want to poison you?" Linglong tilted her little head, she couldn't figure it out, she looked at the shopkeeper who had rotted into corpse water: "Could it be such a fierce poison, is it for you to gargle?"

Xia Qingchen said lightly: "It's because it's violent, so you don't necessarily want to poison me." ”

He looked at the cup of tea in front of him and said, "The more violent the poison, the easier it is to react with foreign objects. ”

"Really?" Linglong leaned over and glanced into the teacup, but there was a layer of transparent impurities looming at the bottom of the teacup.

Like crystals!

These are all highly toxic objects that are produced by the reaction of tea water.

It's just that you may not be able to find it if you don't look closely.

"Moreover, in the winter, the shopkeeper who has no cultivation is lying on the table and falling asleep, without adding a blanket, isn't he afraid of freezing?" Xia Qingchen said lightly.

As soon as he entered the tea pavilion, he was suspicious.

In the cold winter, there is no reason to sleep on your stomach in the cold wind in the open air, but I am afraid that the other party is not really asleep, but fake sleeping and waiting for someone.

"Oh! I see!" Linglong's face was abrupt, and her eyes projected a look of adoration: "The master is the smartest person in the world I have ever met!"

Xia Qingchen smiled lightly and waited silently in the tea pavilion for a while.

Several members of Tingxue Lou sent two spatial nirvana weapons: "My lord, there are a large number of potions to replenish physical strength, energy, and star power, as well as various alchemy and refining materials. ”

"Hmm. Xia Qingchen checked it and made sure that it was what he wanted, so he came to the dock with his hand.

Many ships are moored and no longer go to sea, only a few small boats are silently waiting for guests.

One of them, a slightly old boat, leaned against the very edge, a boatman in a coat and a hat, sitting on the bow with his back to them.

"Do you want to go to sea?" Xia Qingchen ignored the rest of the boats and went straight to the old boat.

The boatman remained motionless, just staring at the fish drifting in the water: "Where are you going?"

"Linlang Island. ”

The boatman raised a finger: "Ten billion cool coins." ”

"Yes. ”

The boatman turned his head, revealing an old face, and he smiled enthusiastically: "Childe, Miss, please get on the boat." ”

Xia Qingchen and Linglong jumped on the boat, and the boatman immediately paddled and sailed to the shore.

Linglong looked at the large merchant ships nearby, and then looked at the boat she was on, and couldn't help but hold her cheeks with her little hands, and looked at Xia Qingchen complainingly.

"Master, although you think I'm stupid, no matter how stupid I am, I know that our boat can't reach Linlang Island. Linglong said: "Why don't the merchant ships sit, we want to take this small broken ship." ”

Xia Qingchen smiled slightly: "Because, the owner of this ship is the only one who has not been moved when I killed the black-hearted shopkeeper." ”

The tea pavilion is next to the pier, and the movement of Fang Cai is not small, and the boatmen on the pier can hear and find it.

But among all the people, only the owner of this old boat did not move.

If only he were deaf, but apparently he wasn't.

When Linglong heard this, she immediately slapped the table and pointed to the back of the boatman who was rowing with dignity: "Oh! Okay, you are a killer, Aunt Ben is here, and you dare to do it?"

"Haha......" The boatman smiled oldly, put down the pulp in his hand, and turned to look at the two: "It's still discovered by you, but so what?"
