Chapter 54: The Smoke and Rain Building

As expected, this rain fell for a long time, until the night cage Chang'an, Chen Qingshan sent Xiao Nineteen back to the imperial city with an umbrella.

Xiao Nineteen asked Chen Qingshan a question.

"Are we friends now?"

Chen Qingshan thought about it, and finally nodded, saying that they were naturally friends. Xiao Nineteen was very happy, entered the Danfeng Gate, looked back, and was a little reluctant.

"Go, go, come to Kongmingfang to find me when you have time." Chen Qingshan beckoned to Xiao Nineteen.

Chen Qingshan understands that Xiao Nineteen was born in this imperial city and is pampered, but he only lacks some freedom and some friends. Chen Qingshan held an umbrella and walked into the curtain woven by the rain, and his figure gradually blurred.

Maybe it's because of the rain, there are a lot fewer people on the streets, but there are still many street vendors dressed in clothes and busy silently.

Chen Qingshan stopped, bought a string of sugar gourds, ate them unhurriedly, and finally walked into a deserted alley.

Into the depths of the alley, Chen Qingshan's sugar gourd was also eaten, his sleeves flicked, and the bamboo sticks shot backwards with a whistling sound, bringing a wave of air and opening a corner of the rain curtain.

"Your Excellency has been following you for so long, it's time to come out." Chen Qingshan turned around and looked at the person behind him with a smile.

The mask was covered on his face, he was dressed in a lily robe, and in his hand was the bamboo stick that Chen Qingshan had just shot.

The man threw away the bamboo stick, spread his hands, and said, "I just want to come and see this Taiping Marquis who has been personally enshrined by the Holy Lord." ”

"Let's see, then why don't you dare to show up." Chen Qingshan Road.

The man stood at the mouth of the alley, dressed as a wanderer from the rivers and lakes, blocked Chen Qingshan's way, and sighed: "I hope Master Hou understands that what we are doing is something that will not see the light after all." ”

Under the robe, a pair of bright silver full moon scimitars were slowly pulled out from behind by this person.

Chen Qingshan smiled: "It's a rainy day, it's a murderous day, it's just that today's rain in Chang'an is a little good-looking, and I don't want it to be stained with blood." ”

"The order above, there is no way to do it, if you take the money, you naturally want to eliminate disasters for others, I'm really sorry for the Yaxing who spoiled the Hou Ye to watch the rain." The man crossed his hands, and the two scimitars came together, making a slashing sound.

"I just can't figure it out." Chen Qingshan paused.

"Can't figure out what?" The man asked.

"I can't figure out why such a weak person was sent." Chen Qingshan replied.

"No matter how weak it is, it's enough to kill you!"

The man was annoyed, and quickly approached Chen Qingshan with a scimitar, and then jumped high, and a pair of scimitars slashed at Chen Qingshan's head.

Chen Qingshan didn't move, a jade fist stretched out from its back, and a punch blasted out, and the assassins of the four realms turned into a rain of blood, and it was Chen Lingguan who made a move.

"Originally, I wanted to ask this guy's name, but now that it's a meat paste, I have nowhere to ask, and I don't want to ask." The assassin died, leaving his scimitar, mask, and a brass token engraved on the front with the words "Smoke and Rain" on the back.

Chen Qingshan sighed, probably knowing who was going to kill him, Chen Qingshan's mind was the figure of the prince of the dynasty, as for why he wanted to kill himself, maybe it was because of his friendship with Monk Fan, or because he pressed him at the winter hunting ceremony.

The Yanyu Building on the brass token, Chen Qingshan also recognized, in the Tang Dynasty, this was a secret association with the Chaos God Sect.

Unlike the Cult of the Gods, which is strictly orderly, the Smoke and Rain House is a loose organization, and its members are all assassins, and what they do is take people's money and eliminate disasters for people.

There is also a difference between the Assassin Tokens in the Smoke and Rain Building, with the wooden tile being the lowest, while the jade tile being the highest.

No one knows who the founder of the Yanyu Building is, only that the person who owns its token is its member.

Chen Qingshan threw the man's scimitar into the storage ring, then picked up the mask and buckled it to his face.

There was a small formation inside the brass token, and the small formation recorded a location, and Chen Qingshan understood that this should be Yanyulou's stronghold in Chang'an.

After changing his clothes, Chen Qingshan walked out of the alley and rushed straight to the place where the Yanyulou stronghold was located.

He had to confirm whether the crown prince wanted to kill him.

The stronghold of Yanyulou was at the junction of the inner and outer cities of Chang'an, and when Chen Qingshan arrived, he knew that it was the place where the beggars of Chang'an City gathered.

These beggars who begged for money were also very particular, knowing that there were many rich people in the inner city, and they could not enter the inner city, so they gathered in the area between the inner and outer cities, and they could always meet some soft-hearted rich people and ask for more money.

This beggar in Chang'an City is better than the villagers in Jishui Town, which makes Chen Qingshan feel a little emotional.

Chen Qingshan followed the guidance, entered a courtyard with an open door, patted three times on the third green brick from the courtyard door, and a tunnel appeared, Chen Qingshan flashed into it, at first it was extremely narrow, and after walking dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear, and there was a hole under the courtyard.

The people in this are all covered with masks, so Chen Qingshan's appearance does not make people feel abrupt.

Chen Qingshan even saw a few people in official robes, but the people here were also accustomed to them, obviously, this person from the court, who entered the Yanyu Building, was not necessarily a new thing.

The little guy who was guarding saw the brass sign on Chen Qingshan's waist and nodded politely to it.

Brass tokens, the status of this smoke and rain building is not high, but it is not low, it is considered the backbone.

The underground stronghold, though crowded, was empty, with a table in the center for the Assassins to rest.

Behind the counter was a woman, with a fox face and a long-handled bong, presumably the steward of the place.

Chen Qingshan walked straight towards the fox face.

"This steward, I want to buy some information." Chen Qingshan said.

The fox face took a puff of cigarette, then glanced at Chen Qingshan and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"If you want some information about being the crown prince, you don't need to be too detailed, just look at what he usually does and who he has been in contact with." Chen Qingshan replied.

"This isn't supposed to be what you, a brass token assassin, should ask." The fox face said softly, she didn't say no, but said that Chen Qingshan shouldn't ask.

In other words, even if it is the information of the prince of the East Palace, this smoke and rain building is also available.

Chen Qingshan understood and auctioned a silver ticket, with a face value of 10,000 taels.

"It's just curiosity, the steward will sell me." Chen Qingshan said.

The fox face didn't speak, put away the silver ticket, lowered his head and rummaged through the cabinet, and put a piece of yellow paper in front of Chen Qingshan.

"This is the current crown prince's activities this year, until now." Fox Face said.

Chen Qingshan took it and skipped the beginning directly. It starts from the days after entering Beijing.

Recently, there are two lines that read: "Layue, when the prince of the dynasty opened the military solution, he wanted to kill the cultivation of the Seven Realms." ”

"Winter Hunting Ceremony, the Prince Pit Kills the Cultivation of the Sea of Stars."

Chen Qingshan set his eyes on the last line: "On the twenty-second day of the lunar month, the Holy Emperor summoned the crown prince, I don't know what happened, maybe it is related to the Taiping Marquis, and the time has been so far." ”

Chen Qingshan calculated the time, the day when the Holy Emperor summoned the crown prince was after summoning himself.

The crown prince has not returned to the East Palace so far, that is to say, the person who wants to kill Chen Qingshan is not His Royal Highness the Prince.

The clue was broken, and Chen Qingshan groaned.

Afterwards, Chen Qingshan said again: "Is there any information about the Taiping Marquis?" ”

The fox glanced at Chen Qingshan deeply, and threw out a piece of paper from under the cabinet.

"You gave 10,000 taels, and the information of this Taiping Marquis can be regarded as a gift."

Chen Qingshan thanked him and took the piece of paper with his information written on it.
