Chu Ying slowly followed behind Yuan Huan, since it was yesterday evening's plane, it was only past nine o'clock in the morning at this time, and for them, time was still relatively abundant.

Without rushing to leave, Yuan Huan took Chu Ying to a small roadside restaurant.

The restaurant has an LED plaque, but it has a very run-down feel, even in the middle of this equally old town.

The doorway was a few tattered concrete steps, a few holes in the corners, and even the glass windows around it were plastered with all kinds of small advertisements. The two of them slowly walked in.

Completely different from the bright space outside, there are only a few dim oil lamps here, which seem so out of place in this modern era.

There was a slight musty smell in the house, which made Chu Ying cough twice. But looking at Yuan Huan in front of him, he seemed to be used to this smell, and instead of turning around and leaving, he took Chu Ying to a table and sat down.

"Waiter. Yuan Xuan shouted.

No one responded.

Chu Ying looked around, but found that there was no one in this dimly lit restaurant, it was empty, except for the sound of the two of them breathing, it was surprisingly quiet.

What a strange restaurant! Chu Ying thought in his heart, but he didn't have any words, wanting to see how Yuan Xuan would deal with this situation.

And at this moment, there was the sound of footsteps slowly walking up the steps outside the door, and in the next second, an old man appeared in the sight of the two, black and white hair, a pair of eyes under the surprisingly faint eyebrows, but the eyes were bright, and fine wrinkles were all over the cheeks, showing the real age of the old man.

I saw that he was walking slowly with his back on his back like two people, and he seemed to be muttering something in his mouth, but Chu Ying didn't know why at all.

turned his head to look at Yuan Huan on the side, but saw that he was smiling at the visitor at this time, and said lightly, "Order food." ”

The old man did not immediately agree, but continued to move slowly towards the table where the two of them were.

Yuan Xuan was not annoyed, and waited quietly. And this scene also made Chu Ying on the side have a trace of doubt in his heart.

Finally, as the old man walked to their table, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Excuse me, what do you want?"

"Two taels of liquor. "Yuan Phantom Dao.

"We don't have liquor in our store. When the old man said this, a hint of surprise flashed in his bright eyes.

"That costs two or two rice wines. ”

"The rice wine is sold out. The old man continued, the surprise in his eyes increased a little, and he asked, "Can you taste some of our special shochu?"

"Okay, I'll have a taste or two. Yuan Phantom responded.

The simple conversation seemed to Chu Ying on the side to be completely unproblematic, just like the usual process of ordering food in a restaurant.

However, what happened next was that his originally calm expression once again showed shock.

I saw that the old man suddenly took two steps back, bowed and saluted, "Lord Yuanhuan, you are here, the villain is clumsy, he has never recognized the adult, and I ask the adult to forgive me." ”

"It doesn't matter. Yuan Xuan smiled and waved his hand, and said indifferently. "After nearly ten years, seeing each other again, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of changes, and it is understandable that you can't recognize it. ”

What code? Chu Ying was puzzled by this, and carefully recalled the conversation between the two just now, but suddenly realized something. A total of three numbers appeared just now, "two taels of liquor", "two taels of rice wine", and "one or two of shochu", and the mountain range where the Chu family is entrenched is named after the three numbers of "two two one", which he still knows better.

After looking at the two of them again, he gradually understood what kind of character the old man in front of him was. Unexpectedly, as early as ten years ago, the magic weapon martial arts forces in this elemental star had already begun a secret investigation of the Chu family.

Yes, the old man in front of him was arranged by Lawson and Yuan Huan in this town at that time. Disguised him as a local householder, he often went hunting in the mountains, so as to secretly probe some rumors within the Chu family.

"The purpose of our coming here this time is to make the Chu family submit to our forces, so as to reach the level of competing with the forces of the Elemental Star Bloodline Martial Artists, therefore, I need to know what has happened to the Chu family in the past ten years, let's pick some that will help us and talk about it. Yuan Xuan showed his intention and asked slowly.

I saw that the old man's body suddenly exuded a little soft energy, and the original rickety body was becoming straighter a little bit, which improved the old man's temperament.

He looked at Yuan Huan and Chu Ying, and said respectfully, "In the past ten years, the development of the Chu family can be said to be quite stable, and many relatively powerful magic weapon martial artists have emerged, coupled with the strong financial resources of the Chu family, they have also obtained many extremely powerful magic weapons from various channels for their own use, which has also improved their overall strength to a certain extent. ”

"And the direct line within the Chu family has also been greatly improved, and the eldest prince Chu Tian has broken through his own bloodline level on the basis of the original magic weapon strength is extremely strong, and has reached the terrifying top red bloodline mid-level third-level, which is extremely rare among magic weapon warriors, and can be called a generation of geniuses. At this, the old man seemed to suddenly remember something, and continued.

"That Chu Tian is much stronger than the second son of the Chu family, he has already achieved such an achievement at a young age, it is really admirable, I heard that the second son of the Chu family used to be unable to compare with his elder brother, but he is also talented, now it is good, directly out of the Chu family, I don't know where I am now." The old man sighed slowly.

"Haha. Is there any more important information?" Yuan Xuan said with a smile, he didn't plan to tell Chu Ying's identity to others, because it was useless, with Chu Ying's current strength, he wouldn't even take his brother in his eyes.

"Yes, there is a more important thing, that is, the Chu family seems to have some secret connections with this other family, that is, with the Jin family, if it weren't for my secret agent hiding inside the Chu family to secretly leak the information, we would not have known it at all, so it can be seen that their matter is definitely not simple. ”

"Although the three families do not interfere with each other, they are not completely devoid of contact, in addition to the annual competition between the elites of the three families to meet each other, there are also some ceremonial visits to each other. But this is the first time that this kind of secret contact has appeared, so the old man guessed that there must be a clue to this, and asked Lord Yuan Huan and this little brother to be careful. The old man reminded.

"Is there a secret connection?" Yuan Xuan repeated thoughtfully, "This is indeed a relatively important news, thank you, Elder Shen, when our mission is over this time, your mission will have been completed, and the rewards promised to you will not be less." Yuan Xuan slowly stood up and beckoned Chu Ying to walk outside.

"Lord Xie Yuanhuan. The old man, known as Shen Lao, said respectfully again, watching the two of them slowly leave the dimly lit small restaurant.

There is a certain reason why this place is so shabby, and there is a reason why it is to hide people's eyes, and the more inconspicuous the place of residence of the secret agent, the more difficult it is to be discovered, and the better it is to complete the collection of information.

Yuan Huan and Chu Ying walked out of the restaurant, bathed in the sun again, it was close to noon at this time, the two found a restaurant to eat casually, and left the town and walked towards the "221" mountain range not far away.

"What do you think of the secret connection between the Chu family and the Najin family?" On the way, Yuan Huan asked Chu Ying, wanting to hear what unique insights this former member of the Chu family had.

"I think it's because I'm aware of the recent situation, or because I want to expand my sphere of influence and look for allies. With the Chu family's style of acting, it must be an eight-sided exquisite existence, so you must be careful. Chu Ying said in a deep voice, although he had been away from the family for a long time, he still had a certain understanding of the ideas and handling styles in the family.

"It seems that this time, we really have to show a certain amount of strength to take down this Chu family. Yuan Xuan said, with a faint cold light flashing in his eyes.

"You should be able to tell which is more important between the family bloodline and the interests of our Elemental, Star, Magical, Martial Artist faction, right?" Yuan Xuan then asked.

"Of course, besides, I am no longer a member of the Chu family. Chu Ying said coldly.

"That's great. ”
