In the dimly lit chamber, metal chains slowly dragged on the floor, making a weak and desperate sound.

A slight muffled sound sounded for a short time, and the door of the secret room was opened from the outside, and a ray of light belonging to the outside world penetrated through the door, shining right on the eyes of the person lying on the ground, stabbing him to close his eyes subconsciously.

When I opened my eyes again, the light was blocked from the door, and a candle was lit in the secret room, and the candlelight was going to flicker, dragging the light and shadow of the cold secret room wall, which made people doubly frightened!

"Wake up!" The man who came in walked up to him with a candle in his hand, crouched down, and brought the candle in his hand close to his face, as if trying to take a closer look at him.

The light of the candle cast upwards from the man's chin, and the shadow blurred the outline of his facial features, so that people could only see the uneven light and shade, which looked very scary!

"Lord...... Master! "The pupils of the man lying on the ground were constricted, and he tried to get up but forgot that he was chained!

"What do I want?" The man held out his hand to him.

The man lying on the ground felt that he was not begging for something from him, but like he was begging for his life!

He shrank back in fear, trembling and said to the man, "Lord...... Master, the five of us originally chased the man to the outside of Xicheng, and we were about to succeed, who knew that a man and a woman were suddenly killed, and the woman stunned the little one with drugs, and when the little one woke up, the man was gone! ”

That's right, the person lying on the ground at this moment is one of the five people who assassinated Cao Zhijin and them outside the West City Gate yesterday.

The man didn't want to listen to his explanation, so he threatened him: "You should know the cost of not completing the mission!"

The man lying on the ground is even more afraid! - There must be no chance of him surviving!

When he woke up from outside the West City that day, he saw that his brothers were dead!

Of course he knew how they died, except for the fifth brother who was hiding in the grass, who was killed by someone, the other three brothers all committed suicide!

Because they know that if they can't complete the task, they will die, so it is better to do it yourself!

He had intended to do the same, but when he woke up and saw that they were all dead, he was suddenly afraid!

He couldn't control his body at all, so he ran!

But before he could go far, he was caught by his master!

"Master, the little one has been to the kid's house, he is not at home, the little one rummaged in his house for a while, and he didn't see what the master wanted, presumably the kid was taken away by the man and the woman who even brought people and things!" The man lying on the ground struggles to search for useful information in his head, hoping to earn a glimmer of life for himself!

The man said impatiently to him, "I don't care about anything else, I just want what I want!"

When the people lying on the ground saw him angry, they begged for mercy again and again: "Master, spare your life, master, the small one is still useful to the master, and the small one is ...... The little one is now the only one who has seen the pair of men and women, please give the little one another chance! ”

"Okay, then I'll give you one last chance to get the things back!" Before he could finish speaking, he turned and went out.

After a while, someone will come and untie his chains.

……

Cao Zhijin took two gold and found the best shop selling musical instruments in Shangcheng.

"Sound Xuan!" Cao Zhijin looked up at the three big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the plaque of the store, and read in a low voice.

Although the shops in Shangcheng are blooming, they are not as hospitable as those in Xianji City, and they seem to be infected with the innate cold atmosphere of Shangcheng.

People from a small place like Cao Zhijin suddenly stepped into the big pattern of sparse and empty shelves, which made people suddenly become restrained.

Cao Zhijin saw that even though the guy stepped forward to greet him, he only remained polite and detached.

The things on the shelves, though exquisite, are not as cold as mortal things.

Cao Zhijin didn't have any idea of choosing something at all, he just wanted to find a small shop and pick up a musical instrument and buy it!

She patted the money bag on her body, and there were two gold in it!

In fact, she doesn't seem to have to pick anything!

Cao Zhijin used his wealthy skills and said to his fellow: "Take out the most expensive musical instrument in your store and let me take a look!"

The guy said politely: "I don't know what type of musical instrument the guest officer wants?"

He asked Cao Zhijin this question, and after talking for a long time, she didn't know which instrument she should learn.

"Whatever, as long as it's the most expensive!" Cao Zhijin said with a wit.

The guy didn't show any eyes to Cao Zhijin looking at the rich man's stupid daughter, obviously seeing too many "such people".

I saw that the guy didn't take anything off the shelf, but walked directly to the counter and hugged a piano.

The young man standing next to the harp followed.

For some reason, Cao Zhijin felt that the young man was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

The guy came to Cao Zhijin with the piano in his arms and said to Cao Zhijin, "How about the girl, look at this piano?"

The young man's eyes had been glued to the piano since the man took it away, and Cao Zhijin felt strange, so he asked the man, "Did this boy fall in love with this piano one step ahead of me?"

The guy smiled: "The girl misunderstood, this son is here to be a piano!" Girl, don't look at this piano, although it is a pawn, but it is indeed a good guqin! ”

Cao Zhijin didn't know the piano, but she could see the reluctance in the young man's eyes.

She asked, "And how much does this piano cost?"

The guy smiled in a roundabout way: "The price can be negotiated, the girl is a VIP, and the girl is invited to the VIP room for a short rest, and the small one is invited to come out and negotiate with the girl!"

The young man suddenly rushed over and stopped between the two, looked at the guy and said, "I haven't sold this piano yet!"

The guy said unhurriedly, "Didn't Childe already discuss it with Mr. Settler just now?"

The young man's face showed a trace of embarrassment: "Yes...... But this is my ancestral qin, and you only give me two taels of silver, isn't it too little......"

Before the guy could react, Cao Zhijin looked at the guy and laughed: "Man, the most expensive piano in your store only sells for two taels of silver?"

The guy was a little flustered now, he didn't expect the young man to tell the price! - People who come to Zaoyinxuan as a musical instrument know the rules, even if they accept the pawn at a low price and sell it to the guests at a high price and are known by the original owner, they can only break their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs, but this kid is so ignorant of the rules, doesn't this make it clear that he came to make trouble?

The fellow winked at the other men, who immediately stepped forward and gave the young man two taels of silver, ready to blast him out.

"Wait a minute!" Cao Zhijin interrupted them.

She took out two gold from her money bag and handed it to the guy, "I bought this piano, two gold is enough, right?" But these two gold is not for you, it is for this son, if you think there is still a lot of money, go to the flower musician of Chengnan Music Fang to ask, he said that if the two taels of gold are not enough, you can make it up for me! ”
