Since the next day, Zhao Lanjiang has rarely spoken.

He put the golden knife across his knee and sat on a battlement, as if he had entered a state of concentration, and even when someone stepped forward to worship Li Qiuyi, he did not react.

Li Chengcheng was a little worried, and asked Xiao Jinyan, "This guy doesn't eat or drink, so he won't have a problem with his head, right?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "Hidden Yang City is the place where the golden knife Li Qiuyi is enshrined, there are traces left by the Golden Sword King everywhere here, Zhao Lanjiang has obtained the inheritance of the golden knife, here, in order to understand the golden knife intent more thoroughly." ”

Zhao Barrage River entered the city for two days, and Yinyang City seemed to be calm, but in fact, there was an undercurrent.

The City Lord's Mansion secretly made a lot of movements, and the spies of Northern Zhou and Western Chu also seemed to have movements, especially after Yuwen Tianlu entered the city, even Xiao Jinyan sensed that there were many masters in the city, although they tried their best to hide their breath and reduce the fluctuation of the true yuan, but Xiao Jinyan's string force was very sensitive to the true yuan, and he could always catch some traces that others had not explored.

"I always feel that something is going to happen these days, but I can't say where it is, no matter what, the sooner Zhao Lanjiang can comprehend the Golden Sword Inheritance, the more sure we will be when we face the situation of the Hidden Sun. ”

Li Tingcheng asked rhetorically, "How are you practicing martial arts?"

Xiao Jinyan didn't say a word, and attacked Li Tingcheng with a peerless divine fist, Li Tingcheng didn't expect him to attack suddenly, but after all, he was a master of general imagery, and he didn't have a hand to deal with Zhixuan, so he vomited slightly and forcibly pulled his body to one side.

Xiao Jinyan accompanied him like a shadow, a punch was as fast as a punch, and after practicing a million punches, he finally had a trace of fist intent, Li Chengcheng shouted, the sword was not unsheathed, and he cast a phantom sword and hit the water three times. Seeing that he was about to hit, Li Chengcheng suddenly felt a true qi attacking from behind.

Bang!

Li Chengcheng's body froze, and he staggered forward, Xiao Jinyan swung his fist, crossed his cheek, and said with a smile, "In terms of realm cultivation, I am not as good as you, but if you really fight, you can't take any advantage." ”

Li Chengcheng was a little surprised, "The punch just now, the true qi that came from behind, how did you do it?"

Xiao Jinyan smiled, "When I was walking with Arrow Gongzi that day and communicating and learning, I thought of it by chance. However, this kind of sneak attack can only be used once for one person, and it must be used carefully. ”

Li Chengcheng said, "Let's go, follow me to a place and meet an old friend who has never met." ”

"It's the first time you've come to Hidden Sun City, and you still have familiar friends?"

Li Chengcheng smiled, "I wasn't familiar with it, but the more times I assassinated me, I became familiar with it." ”

On the way to Yinyang, Li Chengcheng and Zhao Lanjiang were chased and killed by several groups of people, and learned from Li Pancake's mouth that the reward order was issued by the old diesel shop in Baihufang, and the two were sure that they were the instigation of the city lord's mansion, but there was a lack of evidence.

The two came to Baihufang and found a signboard of an "old diesel shop" in a downtown area.

The business in the shop was deserted, the oil shop was windowless, and it was a little dark inside, with two oil lamps lit. There were four or five oil drums at the door, there were only two people in the store, the shopkeeper was knocking on the plate behind the high cabinet, and there was one guy left, leaning against the pillar and napping.

Xiao Jinyan and Li Chengcheng entered the oil shop, looked at it for a long time, and didn't see anyone come up to greet customers, so they coughed, "Shopkeeper, can you still do this business?"

The shopkeeper didn't raise his head, and said to the guy, "Zhu Chong, there is a guest." The guy was like thunder, and the shopkeeper scolded twice, so he had to put down his abacus, stepped forward, and said with a smile, "Do you want to buy oil?"

Li Chengcheng asked, "Business has been booming recently." ”

The shopkeeper said, "Xinglong, the situation has been tight recently, everyone can't even afford to eat, where is the spare money to buy oil to eat? ”

Li Chengcheng asked, "Do you have diesel?"

The shopkeeper smiled, "The guest officer said that he laughed, the little old man's surname is Chai, and he doesn't sell diesel." ”

Li Chengcheng said, "It's the kind that spills on the ground and catches fire at a point." Ten pounds!"

The shopkeeper said, "You're talking about tung oil!" He whispered, "You've really found the right place, but the tung oil in the small shop is registered, and if you buy more than a catty, you must have official documents." ”

Tung oil is very flammable, in order to prevent someone from using it to do evil, it is a limited supply, and if it exceeds the limit, it must be approved by the government, explaining the identity of the purchaser, the use, and so on.

Xiao Jinyan laughed, "Of course there are no documents." ”

The shopkeeper said, "It's not impossible, but in terms of price, I'm afraid it's a little expensive." When he saw the two of them, he asked, "You two, you won't buy them to do murder and arson, will you?" ”

Xiao Jinyan pretended to hesitate and said, "Don't hide it, we have a powerful enemy who chased and killed the two of us all the way, and my brothers thought hard before they came up with a way to deal with him with tung oil." ”

The shopkeeper's eyes flickered, and he suddenly became vigilant.

Li Chengcheng looked at the shop and said, "Boss Chai, your business is not big, but your handwriting is not small, this picture of pine crane hanging on the wall, if you guess correctly, it should be Tang Bomao's early works, right? Judging from today's market price, it is thirty or forty thousand taels of silver." ”

The shopkeeper changed color and said, "Who are you and what is the purpose of coming here?"

Li Chengcheng took a good time to say, "Come to buy tung oil, and talk to Boss Chai about a business by the way." ”

"What kind of business? First of all, we declare that the small shop is doing serious business and illegal business, and we will not accept it. ”

"Does murder count?"

The shopkeeper said, "If the price is right, I will occasionally take a little." He changed his previous respectful face and said proudly, "Since you can find our Tiangang Thirty-Six, it must not be an unknown person, I don't know who introduced you here?"

The guy who had been leaning against the wall before opened his eyes and reached behind him, ready to draw his blade at any moment. Li Chengcheng said, "Eat the rice one bite at a time, and first come ten catties of tung oil." Then he threw a piece of silver on the table.

The firewood shopkeeper took out the jar and filled it with ten catties of tung oil.

Li Chengcheng took it, made a bang, and poured the tung oil on the firewood shopkeeper, and suddenly the store was filled with a smell of tung oil, Xiao Jinyan grabbed an oil lamp and held it in his hand, as long as he let go, the entire old diesel shop would become a sea of fire.

Seeing this, the guy was about to run away, but Li Chengcheng took an arrow step, restrained his acupoint, and threw him back.

The shopkeeper Chai's face changed greatly, "What do you mean?"

Li Chengcheng came to him and said with a smile, "It's really surprising that you can't imagine being hidden in an inconspicuous oil mill. Shopkeeper Chai, I'm here just to ask you a few questions. ”

"Boy, you can't provoke anyone, you want to provoke us Tiangang thirty-six, you two are still young, I advise you, put things down, maybe you have to discuss, otherwise ......"

As soon as Xiao Jinyan's hand was released, the oil lamp fell on him, which frightened the firewood shopkeeper to scream, Xiao Jinyan copied his hand and grabbed the oil lamp back.

Li Chengcheng said, "This friend of mine has been drinking too much recently, and his hand is unstable, so the firewood shopkeeper speaks, but he has to think twice before acting." ”

Now that he is covered in tung oil, as long as there is a little spark, not only himself, but even the entire store, and dozens of shops in the entire White Tiger Fang, will be burned into a sea of fire.

"Strong, please speak!"

"I want to see the list of commissions received by Tiangang Thirty-six in the past two months. ”

The shopkeeper said, "We are thirty-six, based on integrity, and keep the confidentiality of customers, if we promise you, how will we mix in the rivers and lakes in the future?"

Xiao Jinyan held the oil lamp and shook it in front of his face.

"Slow, slow, be careful!" "The Chai shopkeeper's heart was about to collapse, "I'm just a connector of Tiangang Thirty-six, where can I get access to the list." ”

Xiao Jinyan pasted the oil lamp three inches away from him, "The answer is not what you asked." Give you another chance. ”

"I say, I say!" said the shopkeeper, "the list is ......"

The two approached, and a gust of wind blew the oil lamp out.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper turned around and ran out, only to run to the door, the cold light flashed, and a crossbow arrow entered through his chest.

The two chased out of the door, saw a few black shadows fleeing into the distance, and when they returned to the oil mill, they saw that the face of the firewood shopkeeper was black, and he was already dead of anger, and the guy who was previously restrained by the acupuncture channel was gone.

Li Chengcheng rummaged in the oil shop, only found some trivial and sporadic account books, and there was no trace of Tiangang Thirty-six, "This should be just a joint place, it seems that the clue we are looking for is broken." ”

Xiao Jinyan pulled out the crossbow arrow on the chest of the firewood shopkeeper, looked at it carefully, and said, "The imperial court has very strict control over bows and crossbows, and it is strictly forbidden for people to hold crossbows. ”

Li Qingcheng sighed.

Xiao Jinyan said, "Li Xiancheng's intention to kill Zhao Lanjiang is already known to everyone in Sima Zhao's heart, even if we can find evidence, this is his territory, he refuses to admit it, what can we do?"

"What about handing it over to Yuwen Tianlu?"

"You also underestimate Yuwen Tianlu, what is his identity, if you really want to kill Li Xiancheng, you still need evidence?"

Li Chengcheng was angry in his heart, and punched a pixiu in front of the high cabinet, and heard a "pop" sound, and on the north wall of the oil shop, the picture of the pine crane hanging on the longevity of the crane slowly rose up, revealing a secret door.

The two of them were overjoyed, picked up another oil lamp, and pushed open the secret door.

Down the steps, under the oil shop, there is a cellar, in the cellar, there is a smell of tung oil, the two looked down, only to see the cellar, densely lined up with more than a dozen wooden barrels.

Xiao Jinyan stepped forward and stabbed a wooden barrel with a crossbow arrow, and the tung oil flowed down and covered the ground.

He stammered, "There is so much tung oil hidden in an oil shop with less than two rooms, don't tell me that this tung oil is used to light lamps." ”

Li Chengcheng's face was moved, he was born in a famous family, so he naturally knew that even if the entire Li family in Jinling used more than ten barrels of tung oil a year, such a small shop, there was so much tung oil, something was wrong.

"These tung oils are used to kill people. ”

At the secret door, someone suddenly said, "Yes, it's indeed used to kill people." ”

The two looked up, it was the guy from before who went and returned, holding a torch in his hand, looking at Xiao and Li coldly, he muttered, "Although it is not for you, but you found out, congratulations to the two of you, you have won the lottery!"

With that, the torch was thrown down into the cellar.
