Dawn, the sky is bright.

Hou Ji carried Murong Ting on his back, Chen Chao followed behind, and after inquiring for a long time, he finally found Murong Ting's residence in Beijing. The old servant at the door saw that his uncle was beaten and looked unhuman, so he hurriedly went in and asked someone to remove Murong Ting from Hou Ji's back.

"Thank you ......"

"No thanks, I beat the people."

Chen Chao looked at the old servant, the old servant was stunned, and Chen Chao said again: "When he wakes up, tell him that if he wants to change his life, let him go to the Prime Minister's Mansion on Kuishou Street to find me." ”

After speaking, Chen Chao took Hou Ji and left without looking back.

Walking on the road, Hou Ji looked at Chen Chao with a solemn face and tried to ask:

"Xiangye, why are we doing this? A drunken and meaty gentleman like Murong Ting has been pampered since he was a child, and he has a problem with his temperament, he is lazy and doesn't say anything, and he bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, others say a thousand things and ten thousand, he is afraid that he can't even listen to half a word in his heart, we are just afraid that it is a waste of tongue and useless work. ”

Chen Chao smiled self-deprecatingly, looked up at the sky, and thought of the woman in the deep palace for no reason.

"Who is sure of this? A person's quality or badness, character or not, change or not, has a lot to do with the environment. The Murong family has three children, the eldest Murong Chong is strong in martial arts at a young age, and was entrusted by the first emperor with a heavy task to go to Yunzhou to suppress bandits, which is a rare talent, the second sister Murong Yue, as the queen mother of the dynasty, heard that she was still a talented woman before entering the palace, and she was knowledgeable...... Murong Ting's brother and sister are still like this, they are all the best among people, no matter how bad Murong Ting is, he won't be any worse, right? ”

To be honest, Chen Chao didn't want to have anything to do with Murong Ting, if that didn't happen to his sister, but if it happened, Murong Ting could be regarded as his brother-in-law...... If this brother-in-law becomes like a pig and a dog in the capital, his sister Murong Yue should be very sad, right? Chen Chao didn't want that little beauty to worry about her brother, so the matter fell into his hands.

It's not easy to change a gentleman.

But no matter how difficult it is, Chen Chao also wants to try it.

Hou Ji thought about it, and finally chose to shut up.

Xiangye's choice, what he wants to do, why do he need to speak. What others can't do, Xiangye may not be able to do.

Leaving the Murong Mansion, the master and servant walked on the street at will, there were few pedestrians on the street in the early morning, and the capital was the quietest at the moment after a night of hustle and bustle, and the officials who patrolled the street stretched out their hands and yawned, and hurriedly went to the yamen with their hats in their hands; There was white steam on the stall early, and the fragrant buns had just been baked; The beggars set up small bowls in front of them on straw mats and began their begging life. The man who does not return home at night is pulled by the woman's ears, and in the morning it is noisy, and the neighbors probe out one after another......

Life is full of variety.

bought a few buns on the side of the road and padd his stomach at will, Chen Chao said: "Have you found out the bottom of the dead soldiers in Scarface?" Who is connecting with them? ”

Speaking of this, Chen Chao was afraid for a while. No matter how powerful the enemy outside is, Chen Chao will not show timidity, but it is the most trustworthy group of people around him who has a problem, which is also the reason why Chen Chao is in a hurry to form Long Wuwei.

The enemy in the shadows can actually put his hand into his own ranks of dead soldiers? It can be described as a vast supernatural power.

The reason why Scarface was in a hurry to do it, Han Lao checked it, and Hou Ji also checked it later, and there were some eyebrows, it was gunpowder!

When the powerful gunpowder came out, Scarface and the others thought that they could make a great contribution by bringing the gunpowder back and then bringing back the heads of the Chen Dynasty, so they chose to do it.

It's just a pity that they failed and all of them were caught.

But there was no one alive.

As for who they do for whom?

To be checked!

At present, the information that can be obtained is that the person who instructed them and the person who instructed Ning Baizhi to assassinate were the same person, who was a big man in the capital, and he was very well hidden.

Hou Ji took the bun into his arms and arched his hand: "Back to Xiangye, it will take a little time, and I have some ways." ”

"Oh? What did you find? ”

Hou Ji touched it twice from his arms and took out a crumpled piece of paper, Chen Chao took it and spread it out, and found that there was a strange pattern drawn on the paper, like a bamboo, with a few strokes but a vivid image.

"Scarface has found this tattoo on several people, it looks like a symbol, but no one knows this symbol, and Han Lao doesn't know ...... either" Hou Ji said.

Chen Chao looked carefully at this bamboo-like symbol, and he was sure that he didn't recognize it. However, it is better to have clues than none, and one day it will be found out after a slow investigation.

……

……

At the same time, there is a deep house compound somewhere in the capital.

The green bamboos stand in a forest, the straight and towering green bamboos rise from the ground one by one, the stream flows slowly around the bamboo forest, and the branches and leaves rustle with the breeze, which is wonderful and beautiful.

Bell Bell Bell –

Because the location of the house is good and close, in the early morning, you can faintly hear the bell from Guozijian for class.

On the edge of the bamboo forest, a pavilion stands, surrounded by bamboo curtains, so that people can't see the face of the person who is painting inside, but it can be seen that the person is a tall man.

Wearing a Confucian shirt, his every move shows the atmosphere of a literati.

"Ahh

The man sighed lightly, as if he was not satisfied with the painting he had just made, and casually crumpled the painting into a paper ball and threw it aside, replaced it with a new piece of paper, and re-grinded it.

On the easel in front of him, there are several paintings, and the people in the paintings are lifelike and vivid.

All are women, and all are beauties.

One person is wearing a fiery red palace skirt and a phoenix crown on his head, even if the person in the painting has a tense face and does not smile, it can still be seen that this beauty is rare in the world.

Several other beauties have their own merits, but the one that the man is painting now is painting a man, which is very strange, his body is slightly thin, his eyebrows are like knives, and his momentum is not intimidating and angry.

Stomp –

Not long after, a strong man in black was brought here by the little servant.

The man who painted raised his eyes and said, "How is the matter going?" ”

The strong man knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head: "Everything is as you expected, as soon as we beat Murong Ting, Chen Chao was standing on the side of the street, but Chen Chao did not stop him halfway, but waited for us to leave before following Murong Ting." ”

"And after that?"

"Murong Ting was angry and wanted to make a move, but he was taught a lesson by Chen Chao's guards and beaten him hard, and his attack was much heavier than ours, and then Chen Chao commanded his men to carry Murong Ting on their backs and carry Murong Ting back to Murong Mansion."

When the man heard this, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then he suddenly smiled, "Interesting, really interesting......

"It's getting more and more interesting."

The man waved his hand and waved it away.

After a while, an old servant poured a cup of tea for the man himself.

Just about to leave, he was stopped by the man reaching out.

The man said: "Old Qian, you missed!" ”

The old servant named Qian Lao blinked his eyes slowly, and his back became more and more rickety.

The voice was hoarse: "It's a human being, and there are always times when you miss." Scarface's failure is not a lack of preparation. ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

Qian Lao said calmly: "Scarface has come to report that Chen Chao has made a powerful weapon in Qingshan County, called gunpowder, and a little dose can blow up the entire mountain." The explosion was a landslide and the ground cracked, and the sound was loud. The Chen Dynasty attached great importance to gunpowder, and sent his most powerful Han Zhong to make it himself, and every time he blew up the mountain, Han Zhong personally arranged it. ”

"That day, Han Zhong left the camp with explosives early in the morning, and took a few dead soldiers with him, and entrusted the dead soldiers to Scarface before leaving, and Chen Chao's departure from the camp that day was the best opportunity."

The man said, "But the end result failed, didn't it?" ”

Qian Lao shook his head: "If there is no accident, it will not fail, but unfortunately there is still an accident, God bless Chen Dynasty." Ning Baizhi, a member of the Ning family who was previously invited from Ningzhou to assassinate the Chen Dynasty, was somehow subdued by the Chen Dynasty, this is the first, and second, a hidden master appeared among the dead, named Hou Ji, a native of Qin! ”

"Qin people? Chen Chao is really broad-minded, and everyone in the Qin State dares to use it? ”

"And that imperial court wanted criminal, Ning Baizhi!" Qian Lao took a half step forward and stared at the man, "That's why we failed." The old slave has a sentence that has to be reminded, if you want to win, you must let go of the prejudices in your heart, if not, you will lose very badly. ”

The man took a few deep breaths, was silent for a long time, and then glanced at the picture of the beautiful woman who was placed in the center and wore a fiery red palace skirt behind him, with a complicated expression.
