In Zichuan City, Tang Zhengya and Xiangmo were drinking morning tea in a restaurant, Tang Zhengya just picked up a piece of peach blossom cake and prepared to enter it, when she suddenly felt a little itchy on her arm, she glanced at it and found that a small flying insect landed on the back of her hand.

"Where's the little bug?" Xiangmo on the side saw it, and gently twisted the water in the teacup next to him with his fingers, and made a gesture to kill the little flying insect.

"No!" Tang Zhengya hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, "This is the stray worm of my little nephew!" ”

"This is the Medicine Fairy's Tracer?" Xiangmo stopped and frowned slightly, "What's going on?" ”

"Each of us in the Shennong Valley will raise a life-saving thing of their own, my nephew has raised a tracer worm, and I have raised a small bird, if we encounter great danger, we will quietly release life-saving things, they will climb mountains and wade through water, sneak all the way, and find another Shennong Valley doorman."

Tang Zhengya gently picked up the stray worm, she looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally said in a deep voice, "My little nephew, you are such a cautious and witty person, will you also encounter danger?" ”

"There are thousands of households in Zhongnan City, hundreds of miles of green mountains outside the city, and the green mountains of the human city are splendid, and this is the only one in the world." Chen Xiuzhe clasped his hands in front of his chest, and while shopping around him, he said slowly, "I heard that this is also a poem left by Tiannan Sword Immortal when he was playing, and it describes this Zhongnan City. How do you feel when you step into this city now? ”

Xu Fuquan led the white horse beside him, shook his head and said, "Four years ago, I came to this Central South City because of a mission. ”

"Oh? In order to perform what tasks? Chen Xiuzhe sighed.

Xu Fuquan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "At that time, I was still the executioner ghost of Xuanwu Pavilion, what other tasks could I perform." ”

"And that was the last good guy I killed."

"I see." Chen Xiuzhe glanced to the side and saw a teahouse, full of round tables, each table was sitting in front of a person, a group of people in front of five cards, one of which was turned over and displayed, and suddenly a round table of people shouted "stud". Chen Xiuzhe showed curiosity, walked in, stood aside and watched for a long time: "What are they playing?" Xu Fuquan, can you understand? ”

Xu Fuquan took a look: "This is called sand crab, and it is a very common way to play in Zhongnan City. There's a round table, take two more cards, and you're ready to play. ”

"It's that simple?" After hearing this, Chen Xiuzhe frowned slightly.

"It seems simple, but in fact, it is trickery, in the words of the God of Gamblers, the lion catches the rabbit with all his strength, reigns over the world, and uses this momentum to persuade the other party to retreat." Xu Fuquan explained to Chen Xiuzhe little by little.

"Then if I make a move, with my tricks, wouldn't I be able to earn hundreds of thousands of silver simply." Chen Xiuzhe said wistfully.

Xu Fuquan smiled: "I'm afraid it's not that easy." Everything is used in the gambling game, and the momentum is only a part, if the other party does not hit the south wall and does not look back, what should you do? ”

"Harm, I'm a person who owns three rooms of gold, and I don't like their money." Chen Xiuzhe said disdainfully, and then saw that there were people not far away in a circle, knocking on the bamboo sign.

"What are they playing again?"

"This is a bamboo card, and it can be regarded as a common way for them to play." Xu Fuquan replied.

"They sat up in a circle, as if they were in formation." Chen Xiuzhe observed with interest for a moment.

"It's just that this posture is very similar, in fact, they sit together and just talk about ......." Xu Fuquan thought about it carefully, "Some trivial things that have been found around me recently. ”

"Cut, then isn't this just getting together and bragging?" Chen Xiuzhe waved his hand, "Eh, that's not right." Xu Fuquan, why have I been asking questions today, and you are answering them for me. Are the roles of the two of us suddenly reversed? The person who doesn't know anything in life, isn't it? ”

Xu Fuquan was not angry, and replied calmly: "Because in order to kill that person, I lived in Zhongnan City for three whole months, so I have a deep understanding of this Zhongnan City. ”

"Ghost, what kind of peerless master do you want to kill, I have to make you prepare for so long before you start killing." The two of them have been communicating with each other using the method of sound transmission, although they are talking about killing, but the people next to them can't hear anything, and they are still playing bamboo cards with great devotion.

Xu Fuquan replied: "Tainan swordsman Wan'an." ”

"Well, I don't think I have any impression of this person." Chen Xiuzhe shrugged.

"Aha, I'm a fucking flush again!" I saw the middle-aged man sitting in front of Chen Xiuzhe suddenly flipped over a card and threw it on the table.

The four people next to him leaned their heads over one after another, looking at the card on the table, with a strange look on their faces.

"A straight flush, is it a win?" Chen Xiuzhe asked curiously.

"Nonsense, if you have a straight flush in your hand, even if the emperor Lao Tzu comes, he loses!" The middle-aged man stood up and smiled happily, "Eh, leave the money and leave." ”

The four of them got up and left the table in frustration, and the middle-aged man grinned as he accepted the silver ticket on the table.

"You're going to keep playing, aren't you?" Chen Xiuzhe asked faintly.

"No, who the fuck are you, why do you keep talking to me?" The middle-aged man frowned, turned his head impatiently, and saw Chen Xiuzhe's smiling face.

Chen Xiuzhe touched his chin: "The owner of the photo gallery? ”

"Kanjia shovel!" The middle-aged man trembled and blurted out these three words.

"Uh.... I don't understand what this is, does that mean you're scolding me? Chen Xiuzhe turned his head to look at Xu Fuquan beside him.

The middle-aged man also followed Chen Xiuzhe's gaze, followed by the word: "Kanjia shovel!" ”

"I don't know, I only heard the owner of the photo gallery say that it means to greet you." Xu Fuquan lowered his head slightly, and his tone was kind, "Kanjia shovel." ”

"Oh?" Chen Xiuzhe patted the photo studio owner's shoulder meaningfully, "Really? ”

The owner of the photo gallery swallowed foam and didn't dare to say anything, so he could only lead the two to the second floor of the teahouse with an embarrassed smile.

The inner room of the teahouse is extremely elegantly decorated, and there is a fine spice burning in the incense burner carved by white jade, Chen Xiuzhe sits on a chair made of rosewood, Xu Shiquan stands beside him, and the middle-aged man pours good tea for the two people in front of him: "The pavilion master and the Xu Sect master are here, why don't you notify me in advance, so that I can prepare early." ”

"Back then, Master Xu came to Zhongnan City to perform a mission and stayed for three months, and you have been entertaining him all the time?" Chen Xiuzhe asked.

The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly: "Yes, yes." ”

"So that Kanjia shovel you just now is also the greeting you taught him?" Chen Xiuzhe asked again.

The middle-aged man scratched his head: "I was just joking with the master of the Xu family, but I didn't expect the master of the Xu family to take it seriously...... Later, I was afraid that the master of the Xu Sect would come to me for liquidation, so I was embarrassed to explain. ”

Hearing this, Xu Fuquan's face instantly became gloomy.

"Huh, hahahaha....." Chen Xiuzhe couldn't hold back his laughter, laughed insolently, and even began to beat his legs constantly. Because he knew that Xu Fuquan would only kill after greeting a good word every time he started to kill, at that time, Wan An could definitely hear the three words Xu Fuquan said, "Kanjia shovel", maybe Wan An couldn't even hold the knife after hearing it.

"Hey, you're almost smiling." Xu Fuquan said angrily.

"Okay, okay, don't laugh, don't laugh." Chen Xiuzhe seemed to change his face, and instantly accepted the smile on his face, and he looked at the middle-aged man seriously, "Where is the owner of the photo gallery." ”

The pavilion owner was surprised: "Pavilion master, the little one is here!" ”

"You just said that the two of us arrived without being informed?" Chen Xiuzhe narrowed his eyes.

The owner of the photo gallery bent his eyes, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "It's a small mistake!" What is the identity of the pavilion master and the Xu Sect master, I will come when I want to, how can I still inform the little one! It's a small gaffe! ”

"Nope. I mean......" Chen Xiuzhe frowned, "I should have sent someone to inform you a long time ago, and even it wasn't just you who were waiting for us here, but they should have been." ”

"Who are they?" The master of the photo gallery frowned.

"One is Zhao Xuan, the master of our Zhao Gate." Chen Xiuzhe said slowly.

The owner of the photo gallery was stunned: "The master of the Zhao family is here?" ”

"The other one, although you have been sent to Zhongnan City to guard and have never met her, she is now your deputy master, and she is Xianghezhu." Chen Xiuzhe stared at the owner of the photo gallery, "Haven't you seen them?" ”

The owner of the photo gallery raised his right hand: "The little one is willing to swear by his own neck, I really have never seen them!" If the two masters of the door came to my small teahouse in person, would it be difficult for me not to see it? ”

Chen Xiuzhe turned his head and looked at Xu Fuquan. Xu Fuquan said in a low voice: "It seems that things are a little bad." ”

"It's very bad, so to speak." Chen Xiuzhe leaned back in his chair and looked up at the sky, "Really...... Kanjia shovel! ”

"Knock knock." There was a knock at the door.

The owner of the photo gallery hurriedly got up, respectfully opened the door, and said in a daze when he saw the visitor:

"Suzaku-sama."

"Well, there's news of the two of them around here?" Chen Xiuzhe picked up the teacup on the desk and took a sip.

Leng Lieyu walked in and shook his head: "I have checked the entire Zhongnan City, and there is no trace of them. ”

"That means they're not in South Central City." Xu Fuquan frowned.

"Then do you want to look outside the city of Zhongnan?" Leng Lieyu tentatively asked what Chen Xiuzhe meant.

Chen Xiuzhe put down the teacup in his hand and said lightly: "No, there is another place that you haven't checked - Huangfu." ”

"You mean, it was the Yellow Mansion that kidnapped them." Xu Shiquan looked at Chen Xiuzhe suspiciously and asked.

Chen Xiuzhe nodded: "Perhaps, they are still hiding in the Yellow Mansion." ”

"Then I'll go to the Yellow Mansion to investigate." Leng Lieyu said.

"Okay, be careful, don't alarm the people of the Yellow Mansion." Xu Fuquan reminded.
