This sudden attack exceeded everyone's expectations, and the quickest reaction was the two puppets standing behind Chen Ziyan.
But they were further away from Chen Yulou, so they moved slower than Chen Ziyan.
But even Chen Ziyan was too late. He had already estimated in an instant that it would be difficult for him to intercept the opponent's movements.
So when the other person was in the air, a short arrow had already been thrown out, aiming directly at the person's temple.
But before the short arrow arrived, the dagger had already landed on Chen Yulou's neck.
Just as the dagger was about to cut through his skin, the menacing blade was frozen in place and could no longer move forward.
I saw a skinny palm appearing on the man's wrist holding the dagger. It was like an iron pliers, tightly restraining the opponent, preventing him from moving forward even half an inch.
From the perspective of other people present, this scene was even more shocking, as if Chen Yulou had restrained the opponent in mid-air with one hand.
And just after such an obstruction, Chen Ziyan's short arrow arrived first. The sharp arrow pierced the man's temple, and then without stopping at all, shot straight out from the other side of the head with blood and brain tissue. , and finally hit the wooden furniture not far away.
Because he was shot out of anger, Chen Ziyan's short arrow was filled with almost all his strength, and he didn't stop until most of the arrow's body had entered the furniture.
The short arrow was still trembling, and Chen Ziyan and others rushed in front of Chen Yulou. In fact, it is a bit inaccurate to say that they rushed. After all, the distance between them was not far, otherwise the man would not have found the opportunity to take action.
At this time, the man who was shot to death had already fallen to the ground. Wang Kaixuan went up and kicked the body out, and spat: "You son of a bitch!"
Others didn't pay attention to this matter at all, they all looked at Chen Yulou.
After Chen Ziyan looked up and down, he asked, "Uncle, are you okay?"
Chen Yulou acted as if nothing happened, and said casually: "It doesn't matter, I haven't reached the level where I can be hurt by anything."
Then, he told him: "Don't crowd around me. Hurry up and take care of the body to avoid any further trouble."
Although he couldn't see anything, he knew what was happening by hearing the sound, otherwise he wouldn't be able to react in time.
Chen Ziyan also knew the priorities, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."
He did not greet anyone else, but asked Wushuang Ghost to leave the room with the body and walk towards the yard behind.
Only then did Da Jinya react. After he apologized to Chen Yulou, he quickly followed Chen Ziyan.
"Master Chen..."
"Lao Jin, I don't blame you for this." Chen Ziyan knew what he was going to say, so he blocked the rest of his words.
This person was obviously coming for Chen Yulou. Even if he didn't have the relationship with Da Jinya, he wouldn't blame others randomly.
What's more, Da Jinya had already said before that although they were acquaintances, they were not close enough. Strictly speaking, they could only be considered acquaintances.
Da Jinya glanced at Chen Ziyan gratefully, and then said: "Mr. Chen, I have one more thing to say."
Chen Ziyan glanced at him in confusion and asked, "What's the matter?"
He was now focused on what to do with the body.
Da Jinya looked around, then leaned over and said in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, don't you think these recent events are too coincidental?"
"First I was inexplicably bewitched, and then this person knew how to cure it. Crescent Hotel happened to have something to cure the poison. It looked like someone was involved."
"This..." After hearing what Da Jinya said, Chen Ziyan also noticed something was wrong.
He knows more than Big Jinya. Just like the snake vine needs to be replaced with the Tianxin Stone, it is because the Crescent Hotel needs the Tianxin Stone, and the Tianxin Stone is related to Zhang Dafoye's plan. From another perspective, , then we can talk about Qixing Lu Palace.
Although I don't know where else there are Tianxin Stones, I guess there won't be too many. The one with the clearest and closest target is the Qixing Lu Palace in Shandong.
Just like what Da Jinya said, these things don't seem to have much connection with each other, but there is an invisible fragrance that connects these things together.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan asked: "Lao Jin, do you have any targets of suspicion?"
Since there are faint signs of this, he will not give up this possibility.
In fact, Chen Ziyan's first suspicion was the Wang family, but he was afraid that because he looked at the problem with his own stereotypes, his thinking would deviate, so he wanted to ask Da Jinya what he thought first.
Now there are many people in their team who can think independently and give some opinions, but the one who is really suitable for thinking about these is Da Jinya.
How should I put it? The reason is that he is the only person who has experienced real intrigues and is familiar with the darkness at the bottom.
The other people may be Wang Kaixuan, but what that guy has experienced before is nothing compared to what Da Jinya has been exposed to, so naturally it is a bit less interesting.
Da Jinya thought for a moment and said, "We can exclude the Crescent Hotel first."
"What's the reason?" Chen Ziyan asked.
"The strength of the Crescent Hotel is there. There is no need to bother with what they want." Da Jinya gave a reason that was not very suitable, but was reasonable.
Yes, the strength of Crescent Hotel lies there.
Whether it's profit or something else, they have better ways to achieve their goals than using this method.
It can be said that the person or force who uses this method has become Chen Ziyan's life and death enemy from this moment on, the kind with no room for reconciliation.
"What about other forces in the capital or surrounding areas?" Chen Ziyan asked.
Da Jinya shook his head without thinking: "It can't be them. If they don't target the old man, they will have to go after you, Master Chen, even if they want to assassinate you."
"And to be blunt, they really don't have the guts to do this, especially since the recent storm hasn't passed yet."
Da Jinya had dealt with these people many times and knew their nature. If they were weak and could be bullied, let alone assassinate an old man like Chen Yulou, even a group of them would not be able to do it.
But Chen Ziyan had already shown his attitude before, and it would be impossible to have such a life-and-death feud with him now, even if he borrowed a few courage from those people.
"Then do you think the mysterious force we talked about last time is possible?" Chen Ziyan pointed the finger at the Wang family.
But Da Jinya still shook his head: "No, there may be their shadow in these things, but this matter is a bit inconsistent with their style."
Chen Ziyan thought about it carefully and felt that this made sense.
If the Wang family was so rough in doing things, how could they have been hiding in the dark for hundreds of years, and now they are constantly making waves.
Just when Chen Ziyan was thinking hard, he heard Da Jinya suddenly say: "Mr. Chen, do you think it is possible that he is a foreigner?"
"Foreigners?" Chen Ziyan thought of another enemy of his: "You mean Scientology?"
If Big Gold Tooth hadn't mentioned it, he really wouldn't have been able to remember it. After all, Scientology had never officially appeared in his field of vision.
"Yeah." Da Jinya nodded and expressed his thoughts: "I always feel that this is a bit weird, but I can't tell what is wrong specifically, so I think this may be done by an outsider that we didn't notice."
He wasn't very sure, but he had a vague feeling.
Chen Ziyan was a little suspicious when he heard what he said, but he quickly put it down.
Speaking of which, he has been prepared for this kind of thing. After all, this kind of conspiracy and calculation is also a major feature of the world of stolen pens. You can't be immune just because this is a mixed world.
However, Chen Ziyan also knew in his heart that if there was no mistake, this matter must have been done by a certain force in the world of pen theft.
"Huh?" After Chen Ziyan stopped, Da Jinya asked curiously: "Master Chen, how did we get here? Didn't we say we were going to dispose of the body?"
"It can be taken care of here." Chen Ziyan replied casually, and then motioned to Wushuang Ghost to put the body into the room.
This is Chen Ziyan's studio, where he makes puppet armor.
In order to dispose of waste more conveniently, he specially built a 'trash can'. Although the principle of his device is very simple, the effect is still very impressive. It can even dissolve the bodies of red fox and blue-eyed fox corpses, which is even more... Not to mention a corpse.
But Chen Ziyan didn't go in. Wushuanggui could do this kind of thing well, so there was no need for him to go.
Besides, the picture might be a little ugly, and he didn't want to affect his already bad mood.
"Let's go back. Wushuang can take care of the rest." Chen Ziyan closed the door and then said to Da Jinya.
"Ah...ok!" Although Da Jinya was full of doubts, he also knew the importance, so he didn't say much.
Neither of them spoke on the way back, they were both thinking about today's events secretly.
Although Chen Ziyan knew it was useless to think about it, he still couldn't help but think about it when he was free like this.
After all, thoughts are something that sometimes cannot be controlled independently.
When he returned to the room, the atmosphere inside was no longer as solemn as before.
As soon as Wang Kaixuan saw the two people coming back, he immediately asked Da Jinya: "Master Jin, where did your friend come from?"
In his simple thinking mode, he felt that he could get some clues by getting to the bottom of this matter.
Yes, clues.
Wang Kaixuan didn't expect to find out the guy behind the scenes at once. He just wanted to use this as a starting point to investigate, and he couldn't just let the other person go.
Even if the person involved, Chen Yulou, agreed, he, the fat man, would not agree.
What's the difference between this and making a face-off? If the guy behind it wasn't cut into pieces, he, Wang Kaixuan, wouldn't have to hang out in these four-nine cities.
Although Hu Bayi didn't say anything, it seemed like this was what he was thinking.
This is really being bullied into the home, and there is no way I can justify it if I don’t fight back.
"This...actually I don't know much about this person's background. It's just that when we were practicing the stalls, we all gathered together to talk about the mountains." Da Jinya said with a bit of toothache.
He really doesn't know.
The last time we talked about it, we were in a hurry and sought medical treatment. It happened that the other party really knew about it, which made the relationship between the two parties more harmonious.
But his familiarity with this person was limited, so how could he know his true background?
It can be said that except for the kind of people who have known each other long enough, most of his friends are this type.
In fact, this is the norm in this industry, especially those desperadoes who deal in dead people. If they don't have enough friendship, who would be stupid enough to tell people the truth.
When Chen Ziyan saw this, he said: "Let's put this matter aside for now, and then we can study it slowly after we solve the problem at hand."
Compared with this near-miss assassination, those people outside who didn't know whether they had left or not were their most important thing at the moment.
Wang Kaixuan said in confusion: "Mr. Chen, what else can be done to solve this? We have spared them with great mercy, so we can't still pay them medical expenses. In that case, I think funeral expenses are more appropriate."
Hu Bayi finally understood and asked: "Master Chen, what do you mean by the impact of this matter?"
He thought of this. The main reason was that the last time he fought back was more violent, which made it appear that this time's method was somewhat merciful.
Chen Ziyan shook his head: "We don't need to worry about those people outside. The impact of this matter has nothing to do with us."
He didn't think about it at all. If anyone really felt that he was soft-hearted, he could go to Yunnan with him.
What Chen Ziyan wanted to say was what he just said, which was Da Jinya's proposal.
Da Jinya understood and said, "Master Chen, do you still want to talk about recruiting people to join the gang?"
"Well, that's right." Chen Ziyan nodded: "That's right, I thought about it just now and I think it's not as easy as we thought."
Wang Kaixuan frowned: "Yes, this is not easy to do."
He now feels more and more that what he is encountering is troublesome.
Rather than face these things, he would rather go to the tomb to find Zongzi and challenge him. At least Zongzi won't play any tricks.
Hu Bayi also felt a little tired: "It's mainly a matter of degree. If we don't get it right, we will be in someone else's hands."
He thinks this is the same as standing guard in a fight. No matter how good you are in the tomb, if the person who robbed the entrance has evil intentions, it will be a big trouble.
At the same time, he was also very lucky that Chen Ziyan had given them a name as an archaeological team. With this name, at least they didn't need to worry about being picked on.
If they didn't have the identity of the archaeological team, they would have to be more careful when going to the tomb.
We can't even think about this kind of cooperation, because forces like the Crescent Hotel are fully capable of sending them in.
Especially in such barren mountains and old forests, even if they were really plotted, no one would know.
"So we need to study it first so that we can draw a bottom line, otherwise we won't be able to talk about it," Chen Ziyan said.
In fact, he has already decided to cooperate, so that he can avoid many problems in the future.
Besides, he himself planned to cooperate with Crescent Hotel, but now he just needs to be more cautious.
