Chapter 100: News
Seeing this, the old woman hurriedly raised her feet, and then used her hands and feet together, quickly climbed twice along the beam, and jumped out of the roof breach.
At the same time as the breach was bursting, the old woman's right hand reached into the cloth bag around her waist, grabbed a handful of white powder from it, and sprinkled it into the gap.
Luo Chen, who was about to burst out of the breach, saw this, fearing that the white powder would be highly toxic, so he hurriedly shrank back.
"Quack ......"
The old woman glanced back, laughed strangely, and then swept forward.
But just swept out two or three meters.
Suddenly!
"Bang!"
The roof in front of it was torn open, and a bright knife was sent to the old woman's chest in the flying tiles.
"Poof......
"Uh......"
The old woman who flew away couldn't stop herself, and watched her chest hit the knife that was being sent, and then broke open her heart and came out of her back.
The tiles fell, revealing Luo Chen's slender figure, looking at the stunned one-eyed in the night, Luo Chen pulled out the thundering knife expressionlessly.
"Poof......
"Bang!"
The thundering knife brought out a blood flower, and the old woman's body fell, rolling on the roof and falling to the ground.
Glancing at the dead old woman on the ground, Luo Chen picked up the crutch that fell on the roof, pulled out the snake sword and looked at it.
Looking at the starry patterns on the serpentine sword, Luo Chen suddenly wondered, no wonder this sword can block the thundering knife, it turned out to be forged with patterned steel, but the forging technology of this snake-shaped sword is a little worse, because the best weapon forged from patterned steel is a trapezoidal pattern.
Putting away the serpentine sword, Luo Chen sensed that there was nothing missing in the small courtyard, then turned around and swept off the roof and disappeared into the night.
Back on the street in front of the Dinghe pawnshop, Luo Chen saw that the door of the Dinghe pawnshop had been closed, but the inside was still the same as when he left.
Letting go of his perception, Luo Chen sensed Zheng Xiaoliu's presence in a corner diagonally opposite Dinghe pawnshop. So, Luo Chen walked towards him.
Seeing Luo Chen coming over, Zheng Xiaoliu, who was leaning against the wall of a shop with his hands on his chest, spit out a piece of grass in his mouth, stood up straight, and asked, "Young Master Luo, how is it?"
Luo Chen nodded: "Well, it's been resolved, and the news has been heard." ”
Immediately, Luo Chen asked Zheng Xiaoliu, "What about the little two?"
"This ......"
Zheng Xiaoliu smiled awkwardly: "Ran away!"
"Ran away?"
Luo Chen frowned and looked at Zheng Xiaoliu suspiciously: "You are a dignified third-rate late-stage martial artist, and let a third-rate early-stage brat run away?"
"Hmm. ”
Zheng Xiaoliu had a calm face and nodded: "He seems to have a helper, after I chased him into a flower building, he disappeared." ”
"Is that ......?"
Luo Chen furrowed his brows and retracted his gaze: "Run, run! A third-rate early stage martial artist, he has nothing to worry about, anyway, what he wants to know has already been obtained." ”
As he spoke, Luo Chen looked left and right again: "Let's go! Find a place to rest first." ”
With that, the two walked towards the street one after the other.
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning, Zheng Xiaoliu went out early to inquire about the news, while Luo Chen practiced in the inn room.
Originally, Luo Chen planned to go to the Intelligence Hall in Wuwei City to ask for news, but Zheng Xiaoliu ran to volunteer early in the morning that he was going to inquire about the news, and Luo Chen followed him.
It wasn't until lunch at noon that Zheng Xiaoliu returned to the inn from outside.
"How's it going?
Looking at Zheng Xiaoliu, who was sweating profusely, Luo Chen handed over a cup of tea.
"Hmm!"
Zheng Xiaoliu took the teacup, poured a large sip of tea, put down the teacup, raised his hand and wiped his mouth: "Inquire clearly, that Zhao Zichen and Lu Kexiao are the two of the three major forces in Wuwei City, the young gang leader and the second son of the Cao Gang and the Lu Mansion. ”
"Cao Gang?Lu Fu?"
Luo Chen frowned and asked, "What is the strength of these two forces?"
"The strength is about the same!"
Zheng Xiaoliu wiped the sweat from his head and said: "The two strongest families are second-rate late-stage martial artists, namely Zhao Yi, the leader of the Cao Gang and Lu Li, the head of the Lu family, in addition to seven or eight second-rate early-middle stage martial artists in each family, as well as dozens of third-rate martial artists. ”
"Is that ......?"
When Luo Chen heard this, he immediately lowered his head and groaned.
Seeing this, Zheng Xiaoliu hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "Young Master Luo, you ...... You're not trying to destroy these two, are you?"
"What's the problem?"
Luo Chen looked up at Zheng Xiaoliu.
"Of course there's a problem!"
Zheng Xiaoliu smiled bitterly: "What I'm talking about is just their strength on the surface, no one knows how much strength they have in secret, but as a force that has existed for hundreds of years, the strength in the secret is definitely not small." ”
"Hmm!"
Luo Chen nodded: "I know this in my heart, I didn't think about destroying them, only Zhao Zichen and Lu Kexiao wanted to kill me, I won't harm others because of this." ”
"That's good!"
Zheng Xiaoliu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if Luo Chen really wanted to kill these two, Zheng Xiaoliu would have to consider whether to continue to follow Luo Chen, because these two families are not easy to mess with, although Luo Chen has a second-rate late realm, but when the time comes, he may not be able to come back.
Luo Chen looked at Zheng Xiaoliu, knowing what he was thinking, and he didn't care, and continued to ask, "Is there any news about Zhao Zichen and Lu Kexiao?"
"Yes!"
Zheng Xiaoliu nodded: "I know from a subordinate in the Lu Mansion that Zhao Zichen and Lu Kexiao have been running to Yixianglou every day in the past two days, and they will also go tonight." ”
"Yixiang Lou ......"
Luo Chen nodded thoughtfully, and then smiled at Zheng Xiaoliu: "Thank you for your hard work!"
"Hehe! It's not hard, it's not hard, it's a trivial matter. Zheng Xiaoliu replied with a smile.
Immediately, Luo Chen picked up the crutch on the table from the old woman and handed it to Zheng Xiaoliu: "This is what I got last night, give it to you!"
"......What is this?"
Zheng Xiaoliu took the crutches, and the crutches like a wooden stick sank in his hand, and Zheng Xiaoliu suddenly became curious.
"Huh!"
Luo Chen smiled and pointed to the crutches: "This is a sword, a sword forged from patterned steel." ”
"Patterned steel?"
Zheng Xiaoliu suddenly became interested, twisted it according to the position pointed by Luo Chen, and pulled out the serpentine sword:
"Tsk...... Sure enough, it was forged with patterned steel, but this forging technique was a little worse, much worse than your knife, but unfortunately, a good piece of material was wasted!"
"Be content!"
Luo Chen said with a smile: "There are few people in the Central Plains who know the forging technology of this patterned steel trapezoidal pattern, and it is already very good that it can be forged like this." ”
"Hey, hey, that's right. ”
Zheng Xiaoliu smiled and put his sword into the sheath, and arched his hand to Luo Chen: "I'm not welcome to this, thank you for Luo Gongzi." ”
"You're welcome!"
Luo Chen waved his hand: "If you are not satisfied with this sword, go to my Purple Mist Mountain Villa to re-smelt and forge it another day." ”
"Hehe! That's a good feeling! Don't say it, this look is really not suitable for me. ”
Zheng Xiaoliu smiled and took a cane and tapped it on the ground.
Seeing this, Luo Chen also smiled and nodded.
