In the pitch-black underground passageway, the sound of water dripping from the cracks in the stones, perhaps because of the heavy rain two days ago, the stagnant water is still accumulated in the cracks, and it is still dripping in the rugged secret passage. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The secret passage here is located in the mountain forest behind Situ Mansion, and when Chu Zhongcheng and Chu Cang stepped into the secret passage, almost every place in Situ Mansion seemed to be shrouded in raging flames. And the cry that Chu Zhongcheng heard in front of Situ Mansion had long been covered by the sound of countless beams and roofs collapsing, or had already completely disappeared into this sea of fire.

"Tianshun, the old gentleman let you go in alone. After groping in the darkness for a while, and when he came to a fork in the road, Chu Cang took out the fire hyacinth, lit the torch hanging on the stone wall, pointed to a passage, and said to Chu Zhongcheng.

"You're here?"

After a difficult passage, Chu Zhongcheng came to a stone room, in the middle of the stone room there is a stone table, on the stone table carved a chess table, on the chess table there are several black and white pieces, under the light of the candlestick, these black and white children are shining brightly.

In the stone room, the old gentleman was sitting on a stone chair at the moment, a pair of eyes were looking at Chu Zhongcheng's place, and the old man's voice echoed in the entire stone room, although the sound was not loud, but it also made Chu Zhongcheng feel deafening.

"Why did Mr. invite the kid over? If he didn't send that secret letter, the kid probably wouldn't have guessed the identity of Mr. in his life, who would have thought that the hero who assisted the three generations of Situ family heads turned out to be from my Chu family?"

The old man, who was smiling at Chu Zhongcheng's words, was standing up with a withered cane at this moment, slowly approaching the stone table in the center of the stone room. Seeing this, Chu Zhongcheng also approached the stone table, and in front of the chess table, the old gentleman pointed to the black and white scorching chess game on the chess table, and asked:

"Son, did your father teach you this?"

"I don't like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, just like I don't like martial arts, I hope that Mr. won't let me fall, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

The old gentleman laughed, then slowly walked to the stone chair again, turned his back to Chu Zhongcheng and said: "It's really not like your father, and it's not like your grandfather, each generation of the Chu family is different, but it's much better than the Situ family." ”

"If the kid's expectation is good, Mr. should be a chess piece buried by Grandpa's generation, right? ”

"You kid, your mouth is as sweet as your father......"

Unconsciously, Chu Zhongcheng had already walked behind the old gentleman.

"I have a message that I want you to take to Master's grave. ”

"Sir, teacher, it must be my grandfather, right?"

"The kid is really smart, but it's a pity that ......"

"It's just a pity that I'm as ruthless as my father. ”

A long sword pierced the chest of this old gentleman, and this sword was the Aotian Sword, one of the three famous swords in the rivers and lakes that had been passed down from generation to generation by the Chu family. This Aotian Sword is rumored to be sharpened like clay by the people of the rivers and lakes, but only the people of the Chu family know that the Aotian Sword not only sharpens iron like clay, but also cuts off people's bones, and it may not be much more difficult than killing melons and cutting vegetables.

After the old gentleman collapsed on the stone chair, Chu Zhong Chengcai pulled out the Aotian Sword in his hand, and after smearing the blood stains on the brocade clothes on the old gentleman's body, Chu Zhong Chengcai put the new-looking Aotian Sword into the sheath.

Looking at this loyal old minister of the Chu family, Chu Zhongcheng felt a little depressed in his heart, but it was clear that he had seen many winds and waves over the years, and it could be said that almost every decision of the Chu family over the years came from him, and in the family, he was also known as the "genius of the sky", just because every time he made a decision, he did not make any mistakes.

At least, the Chu family has never been put in danger.

"I can only think about it for the sake of the Chu family. ”

With this thought in mind, Chu Zhongcheng stopped moving forward, and finally turned his head to look at the corpse lying on the stone chair, blood already soaking half of the stone chair.

Fortunately, there is still residual temperature.

"Tianshun, what did the old gentleman say to you?"

Chu Zhongcheng, who walked out of the secret passage, heard Chu Cang's question head-on, but in the dim firelight, the low flicker on Chu Zhongcheng's face made Chu Cang frown.

"Bloody ...... What is ...... inside?"

"Let's go, Tiancan. ”

Chu Zhongcheng did not respond to Chu Cang with a smile for the first time, but hung his shoulders, raised one hand slightly, and pointed to the way back.

"This old gentleman is our number one hero!"

Chu Cang's voice seemed to have been suppressed by him with all his might.

"You have to know that if he disappears suddenly, then for some of the chess pieces buried in other places of our Chu family, it is only possible to expose them......

"Who would think so? In the entire rivers and lakes, I'm afraid only Tianshun will think so, right?"

"Don't forget, Jiang Ning still has a ...... at this moment No, maybe it's two amazing people. ”

When Chu Zhongcheng thought of Sikong Lonely, he thought of another young talent who appeared in Jiangning City, these two people were the only two people that Chu Zhongcheng couldn't see through all these years.

"But isn't that chilling the hearts of many people when you do this?"

"Who knows? The corpse inside, I only know that he is the chief steward of the Situ family, and I don't know anything else. Chu Zhongcheng glanced at Chu Cang with a wry smile, and then turned his head to look at the dark and narrow passage, the end of which was less than ten zhang away from here.

After Chu Zhongcheng retracted his gaze, he said, "You only learned his identity today, right?" Our original plan was to require the cooperation of the two mysterious killers under Sikong Gu, but who knew that they didn't appear, and we suddenly received this letter again...... I have to say that if he hadn't sent this letter, he might have survived, just like the Situ Song who didn't know where to hide. ”

"But he sent it anyway, didn't he?"

It was because of this that he had to die. ”

"Tianshun, what do you mean by this?" Although Chu Cang didn't understand why Chu Zhongcheng wanted to kill an old man in the twilight who had done his best for the Chu family and did his best for the Chu family in this conspiracy against the Situ family, the look on Chu Zhongcheng's face that was both painful and a little sudden made Chu Can's tone soften.

"Brother Tiancan, let's talk about all this later, in short, let people search for the traces of the former chief manager of the Situ family and Situ Song as soon as possible, and tell them that these people must not be allowed to escape. Then immediately told the second uncle and asked him to bring someone to search and rescue the 'survivors of the Situ family'. ”

Chu Zhongcheng couldn't help but look at the long and narrow road again, in that stone room, there were already countless traces of torture on the corpse, at least, because it was left before the corpse was still cold, so ordinary people should think that it was the traces of torture.

"Go ahead, I'm a little tired. ”

Some of these words want to command, and some of them are like pleading.

Chu Zhongcheng finally only remembered that when he staggered out of this stone road, Chu Fanxuan had already rushed to Situ's house with the Chu family, to be precise, it was a broken wall.
