Chapter 8 The vigilant Chu Ziyan

The night was getting darker and darker, and there were more and more people in the Cuiyuan Pavilion who were alarmed.

Chu Ziyan kept his head down, ignoring all the people passing by, he and Xiao Tianlang met at the back door of Cuiyuan Pavilion, I don't know if Xiao Tianlang has arrived.

"You, stop!"

Chu Ziyan, who was only concerned about walking, heard a sharp voice behind him, thinking that it was the guards who passed by again who were gathering people, and he didn't care. As I continued walking, the sound of the wind suddenly sounded in my ears. Chu Ziyan was startled, and dodged sideways.

"Who is this?" Chu Ziyan turned around and said angrily, and was stunned halfway through his words. I happened to see Xue Yingying here, looking at her hurried appearance, she should have received a report from her subordinates, and beside her was Xue Yu, who was holding the long whip in her hand and pointing at Chu Ziyan.

It seems that the wind just now came from the whip in her hand.

Xue Yingying didn't expect it to be Chu Ziyan, but she suddenly saw a sneaky person on the road, and thought that someone who came in from elsewhere to fish in troubled waters, but she never thought it was Chu Ziyan. However, what is he doing when he comes out so late? Xue Yingying had doubts in her heart, but she was not in a hurry to reveal them.

Xue Yingying stepped forward and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Chu Yuan, where is Mr. going here?"

Chu Ziyan secretly wondered in his heart how to think of an answer that could make Xue Yingying not suspicious, and just saw a guard in the distance rushing over, and hurriedly said: "I saw an assassin passing in front of the room, so I drove out." I was going to work with the guards to capture the thief, but unfortunately the literati are not good at dancing, and now I am ready to go back to the room. ”

"Oh?" Xue Yingying had heard the guards go to report that it was indeed the assassin found by Chu Ziyan, but the guard did not say that he found it there, because he was mixed up by Chu Ziyan. However, Chu Ziyan pointed to the guqin behind Chu Ziyan again, and said, "But why is this guqin gentleman still carrying?"

Chu Ziyan laughed after hearing this, this is easier to explain: "As a musician, he naturally has to take himself to eat everywhere, not to mention, this guqin is a gift from the young lady, it is a rare treasure, if it is stolen by Xiaoxiao, wouldn't it be a pity?"

Xue Yingying still needs to be asked, and a guard has already come up to report the situation, saying that the thieves have killed several brothers and are now fleeing to the gate. The situation was urgent, and Xue Yingying didn't want to be entangled here anymore, so she said goodbye to Chu Ziyan and prepared to leave with the guards.

Chu Ziyan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and was just about to leave when he heard another voice.

"This piano was actually given by Boss Xue himself, and the old man should take a good look at it. ”

Chu Ziyan was furious in his heart, this was the bastard making trouble again, and when he looked at the source of the sound, he was stunned again. Xue Yingying naturally heard this voice, so she had to stop and introduce Chu Ziyan: "This is a friend of Yingying, and there is a nickname on the rivers and lakes, called Flying Knife Ruthless. ”

Chu Ziyan wanted to bite this old man to death in one bite, who did he work so hard for. It's good that he not only met Xue Yingying, but now he is poking his own basket. Chu Ziyan didn't know how to answer for a while, and he seemed a little overwhelmed.

The old man patted Chu Ziyan and laughed, "Haha, isn't it just a guqin." As for such stinginess, this old man doesn't look at it, or doesn't look at it. Chu Ziyan had no choice but to smile.

Xue Yingying didn't know what the two of them meant, but they were urged by their subordinates, and time waited for no one. After the old man finished laughing, he stopped looking at Chu Ziyan and followed Xue Yingying to the scene of the crime, and Chu Ziyan also breathed a sigh of relief.

There was nothing to worry about along the way, but after seeing the old man by Xue Yingying's side, Chu Ziyan had new doubts in his heart. That is, whether the old man is invincible or not. Han Yue said before that Iron Invincible was the Jinling City that he entered after Yi Rong.

But there is one thing, Xue Yingying has not discovered him yet, and this is his advantage. But if he appeared blatantly like him, the chance of being discovered was too great, and if it was Chu Ziyan, he would definitely not do it. Then there is another question, who is this old man?

Why did he get the painting that Iron Invincible wanted?

With doubts in his heart, Chu Ziyan rushed to the place of the transaction. Xiao Tianlang was waiting there, and when he saw Chu Ziyan coming, he came over happily. "How's it going, did you get it?"

Chu Ziyan took off the piano on his back, revealing the secret compartment inside. Xiao Tianlang stretched out his hand to take it, but Chu Ziyan avoided it. Xiao Tianlang didn't understand what Chu Ziyan meant, and asked, "What's the matter, why don't you give me something?"

Chu Ziyan hugged the guqin and said, "Do you know who that old man is?"

Xiao Tianlang didn't expect Chu Ziyan to ask such a question, looked at him strangely, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with you, didn't I tell you." I don't know. ”

"That's not right!" Chu Ziyan took a step back and said, "You must know. Moreover, you didn't get in at all, but came in with the old man. ”

Xiao Tianlang's face changed, and he shouted, "What are you talking about? ”

Originally, this was just a guess in Chu Ziyan's own heart, but after Chu Ziyan saw Xiao Tianlang's demeanor, he became more determined in his thoughts, and continued: "You are not seriously injured, the reason why you met the old man is because he was waiting for you there early in the morning. ”

"Hurry up and give me the painting!" Xiao Tianlang looked at Chu Ziyan and roared loudly, and rushed over directly.

"There weren't many people who knew that I would sneak into Xue Yingying's room, but as soon as I got the scroll in my hand, someone came, and that person was compassion. Am I right?" Chu Ziyan still asked loudly.

Xiao Tianlang was anxious, he did send compassion to monitor Chu Ziyan, but this was out of protection, and the other was because he was afraid that Chu Ziyan would not listen to him. Now he is misunderstood. "You guys are working together to lie to me, who are you?" Chu Ziyan looked at the situation and prepared to run to Cuiyuan Pavilion to ask for help.

Xiao Tianlang also realized his gaffe at this time, and he didn't force Chu Ziyan, but stood in place and said: "It's not what you think, we don't have any malice, we are good people." ”

Good people? Chu Ziyan sneered in his heart, a good person would use such a means, Chu Ziyan had already decided that as long as Xiao Tianlang took one step further, he would go back, and shouted for help loudly.

Xiao Tianlang took another step forward.

"Save,"

Before he finished speaking, a strong surge came up, and Chu Ziyan fainted instantly. Behind him, the old man stood there proudly, took off the guqin, and looked at the picture scroll in his hand.

Xiao Tianlang stepped forward and asked respectfully, "What should I do next?"

"Let's go, go back first!"
