"Second Young Master, I heard that you disappeared during the battle in Beidou City. I was so anxious that I almost searched Yingzhou. I didn't expect that you were actually in Yuzhou." Zheng Su said immediately after getting up.
"Brother, have you been looking for me?" Chu Zhongan was a little moved. After being slightly distracted, he continued: "What was the outcome of the battle in Beidou City?"
At this time, Chu Zhongan's expression was very uneasy. He could already guess a rough idea, but he was unwilling to accept the result without confirmation.
"Second Young Master, don't you know yet?" Zheng Su said hesitantly. After thinking for a moment, he said with a heavy face: "The Xinghe Sect has been defeated."
Zheng Su only said five words, and Chu Zhongan felt as if he was struck by lightning. His body trembled slightly, and after trying to stabilize his emotions, he lamented: "Is it true that he is still defeated..."
"Those...the last ones left...to face...the powerful enemies of the Galaxy Sect..." Chu Zhongan paused midway, his voice trembling, so calm that he could not completely calm down at this time, a sense of fear lingered in his heart, he I prayed silently in my heart.
Zheng Su didn't want to, but when he saw Chu Zhongan's sharp eyes, he still said: "Almost all those masters died in the battle, including Chen Yaoguang, the leader of the Galaxy Sect, Huang Xin, the commander of the Seven Kills Battalion, and Wu Daoling, the master of the Shu Pavilion...Information It shows that none of the masters and masters survived."
Chu Zhongan heard familiar names one after another. The lives that were once alive and the elders who tried their best to protect the sect were all gone.
His vision went dark and he almost fell down.
"Second Young Master!" Zheng Su quickly stepped forward to support him.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Zhongan tried his best to calm down his emotions. He waved his hands and said, "I'm fine..."
"How did Huang Xin die?" Chu Zhongan asked in a deep voice. Even though he knew the answer, deep down in his heart he still didn't believe that Huang Xin died like this. Even if he faced a saint with Huang Xin's methods, It's not impossible to escape.
"According to intelligence, Huang Xin, the commander of the Seven Killing Battalion, once severely wounded the Blood Saint Qin Baxian. Finally, thunder fell on him, and this extremely powerful man turned into fly ash." Zheng Su knew everything and told all the information he had. .
Chu Zhongan frowned when he heard this and said: "Lei...Did Huang Xin take the robbery elixir?"
When Huang Xin took the robbery elixir, Chu Zhongan was still high in the sky. After a series of battles, he never saw Huang Xin again, so naturally he was completely unaware of what happened to Huang Xin later.
Chu Zhongan knew about the robbery elixir due to his position in the Xinghe Sect. His heart fell into the ice cave, and the glimmer of hope he originally had was shattered. After swallowing the robbery elixir, there was no possibility of survival.
"Hey, if that guy takes action, it seems that Huang Xin will definitely die even if he doesn't take the robbery elixir." At this time, the image of the old man in white robes appeared in Chu Zhongan's mind, and that terrible method still made his heart palpitate.
Chu Zhongan still didn't understand why the old man in white robe didn't kill him easily. It was a fluke that he survived.
"The specific situation is unknown. Even the accuracy of this information needs to be verified. The source of our information is not reliable. Second Young Master, don't be too sad. Some of the Galaxy Sect masters may have survived," Zheng Su said seriously.
Chu Zhongan smiled bitterly. He naturally knew that Zheng Su was comforting him.
"Don't comfort me. I'm mentally prepared. What's going on with my brother now?" No matter what the outcome is, there is no way to change it now. Chu Zhongan is more concerned about the safety of Chu Boping and others.
Zheng Su immediately replied after hearing this: "Second Young Master, please rest assured. Young Master and the others successfully retreated from Beidou City. Our losses in this battle were not big. Only Jinmo Camp suffered some casualties."
"That's good, it's okay." Chu Zhongan felt a little calmer. The battle in Beidou City was his most painful experience after the Jin'an incident. Jin'an's safety was his greatest comfort.
"Second Young Master, my subordinate will report the good news to Young Master now. Young Master will be very happy to know that Second Young Master is fine!" After Chu Zhongan's expression softened, Zheng Su spoke.
"It's not urgent. I need the shopkeeper's help with something now."
Zheng Su clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Second Young Master, despite your orders, Zheng will do his best."
"Does Shopkeeper Zheng know that the Lord of Shanye City is catching rare birds and animals in the city now?" Chu Zhongan suppressed the sadness in his heart and finally asked about the arrest of Fuguang's companions.
"I'm going to tell you, Second Young Master, that my subordinates have heard a little bit about the strange beasts in the city. Yesterday, the City Lord's Palace ordered the capture of those beasts. I only know that some beasts have been captured, but there should be some that have not been caught. Now the City Lord's Palace officials are still searching. "Zheng Su" Zheng Su told all the news he knew.
Chu Zhongan knew all these things, so he continued to ask: "Does Shopkeeper Zheng know where the captured beasts are now?"
"Do you have any information on the cause of these beasts' mutations?" Before Zheng Su could answer, Chu Zhongan spoke again.
Zheng Su looked embarrassed and said: "Second Young Master, although our restaurant is relatively well-informed, not many people have mentioned the information about these beasts. Whether it is the reason for their mutation or the whereabouts of the captured beast, Even my subordinates don’t know very well.”
Chu Zhongan was not angry when he heard this. He squeezed out a smile and said: "It doesn't matter, I will investigate the whereabouts of the beasts. As for the reasons for the mutations of these beasts, I feel that there may be something important planned in it. Please give me some advice." Shopkeeper, please pay more attention."
Zheng Su said solemnly: "My subordinates must pay attention. If there is any news, I will inform the second young master immediately. As for going to find out the whereabouts of the beast, please leave it to the subordinates. I also ask the second young master not to put himself in danger again. Please feel at ease." Wait for the young master to send someone to pick you up."
Chu Zhongan shook his head slightly and said: "I heard that the Lord of Shanye City captured the strange beasts this time to please Han Shichong, the second son of Xinhan. The place where the beasts are imprisoned must be very dangerous. I'd better go there myself, otherwise it will be for nothing. Losing manpower will not only outweigh the gain, but may also expose the restaurant."
"Since it's dangerous, I can't put the Second Young Master in danger. If something happens to the Second Young Master, I can't afford it..." Zheng Su said anxiously.
Chu Zhongan smiled calmly and said: "Since you know who I am, you should know who my master is. Let alone the city lord's palace, I can come and go freely even in the Taichu Palace. No one can stop me from leaving if I want to. Stay with me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Zhongan stepped back, and in Zheng Su's eyes, he disappeared into thin air.
"Master?...Huang Xin!" Zheng Su frowned and thought, and soon he thought of the answer.
Just when Zheng Su said Huang Xin's name in surprise, a red light suddenly appeared. By the time he reacted, Rouge Tears was already lying on the front of his neck, and he could even feel the slightest chill from the dagger.
Although his strength has been greatly reduced, Chu Zhongan's concealment ability and movement skills are still very superb. It is not difficult to sneak attack Zheng Su, a master of Jinjin level.
Chu Zhongan put away the dagger and said, "Shopkeeper Zheng is relieved now."
Zheng Su smiled bitterly and said: "I admire the Second Young Master's methods, but..." He did not continue, looking very embarrassed.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Chu Zhongan said calmly. Without waiting for Zheng Su to persuade him again, he hid in the darkness again.
Zheng Su's face was full of helplessness, and his persuasion was useless. Even if he wanted to stop Chu Zhongan by force, it was wishful thinking. He could only pray in his heart that nothing would happen to the second young master.
Just when Zheng Su thought Chu Zhongan had left, Chu Zhongan's voice came from the darkness again: "Shopkeeper Zheng, I have another question. Do you have any information about Dongxia Xiyue Sect's Supreme Elder Bai Ruoxi? Was she alone when she left Beidou City?"
Zheng Su thought for a moment and then said: "According to Bai Ruoxi, she left Beidou City after the war. As for whether she walked alone, there is information that the saint flew away with a ball of water."
"Thank you!" Chu Zhongan's voice was obviously relieved. After he dropped these two words, there was no sound again.
When Zheng Su saw that Chu Zhongan had really left, he immediately went to the bedside to check the condition of the woman. When he saw that he had just fainted, he felt relieved. You must know that he had never seen this second young master, he only knew the second young master. Born in the Seven Killing Camp of Xinghe Sect.
The secret agent of the Seven Kills Camp was not a man of faith. If the second master were to be more ruthless and kill his own daughter's life directly, he really didn't know what to do.
Zheng Su looked around and made sure that no one was around before he started to prepare a secret message.
After writing the letter, Zheng Su came to the window. He put his thumb to his mouth and played a strange rhythm. The sound was not loud and sounded like some kind of nightingale's singing sword.
After a while, a strange homing pigeon flew in from the window. It was extremely fast and arrived in front of Zheng Su in almost the blink of an eye.
This homing pigeon is wearing a strange armor, which is a masterpiece of Mohism.
Zheng Su picked up the pigeon, stuffed the secret message into the clever mailbox on the pigeon's leg, and then sent the pigeon out of the window.
The homing pigeon flew towards the southwest and disappeared at the end of the sky in an instant.
Now that Taichu has been completely occupied and divided between New Korea and Dongxia, the strange smoke that has been burning on the border of New Korea for several days has finally dissipated, and pigeons can now pass messages along the border.
Even if the smoke is still there, the flying height of the Jin'an homing pigeon will not be affected. This is the terrifying part of the Mohist method.
Chu Zhongan left the restaurant and rushed towards the city lord's palace. He was basically sure that Tao Zi had indeed been taken away by Bai Ruoxi.
While walking, Chu Zhongan took out half a ring from his arms. It was a gift given to him and Taozi by Feng Yuchen, the great uncle of the Grand Master. Now he recognized the owner with blood, and he found that when he held the ring, There is a feeling in the far east, that is, Taozi's concentric ring has also recognized its owner.
"This must be Taozi who shed her blood and recognized her master. Taozi didn't really faint at that time. She knew how to use the concentric ring!" Chu Zhongan hoped in his heart.
He knew that his guess was probably correct. After all, this looked like an extremely ordinary half-iron ring. If he didn't know its purpose, who would be able to drip blood on it without any trouble.
Finally arriving at the Lord's Mansion of Shanye City, Chu Zhongan put away the concentric ring and kept observing the surrounding situation nearby.
