Outside Chaocang Gambling House, the red lane is as quiet as quails after the rain.

In the dark night, the lights in Los Angeles were extinguished, and only hundreds of secret spies holding torches blocked the Red Clothes Alley to search for the whereabouts of spy Jing Chao.

At this time, the originally arrogant official was being tied up with coils of finger-thick iron ropes and kneeling on the ground.

This man's martial arts skills are astonishing. He was surrounded by hundreds of spies and was able to fight fiercely for half an hour.

However, as Old Man Yao said, no matter how powerful an official in the world is, he is afraid of military formations. Don't think that you are invincible because you are powerful. Power is the most powerful thing in the world.

Jin Zhu picked up the hem of his clothes, picked up the broken blue cloak on the ground and put it on the executive officer. He squatted down opposite him with a smile and said, "The executive officer of the Zhao family in Hezhou, Zhao Zhong. I remember that you were once the first member of the Xu family.

How could the young master's bodyguard be reduced to working for Jing Chao now? Or...is the Xu family also involved today?"

Zhao Zhong looked livid: "Eunuch, eagle dog, bah!"

He spat and rushed towards the door in front of the Golden Pig. The Golden Pig seemed to have been prepared and took out a folding fan from his arms and held it open in front of him.

The golden pig was not angry, and just said with a smile: "The dignified official of the Zhao family is now just a prisoner. He is taken to the inner prison. Sooner or later, I will ask you to reveal your cultivation method to the inner minister and take him away!"

After that, he stood up and looked at the spies who were standing quietly holding torches: "Today is a great victory. Brothers, after taking the people to the inner prison, have an early rest. When you wake up tomorrow, I invite everyone to go to the Eight Immortals Tower to eat the most delicious food in Luo City."

Good meal!”

The confidant spy on the side reminded him in a low voice: "Sir, Chen Ji was chased out and there is still no trace."

The golden pig slapped his forehead and said loudly: "Oh, I almost forgot about him. A small apprentice in a small medical clinic was chased by spies and was probably going to die. The Interior Minister had just promoted him to the Secret Service, and the next day he was

He died at my hands, and others found out about it and thought I was jealous of others. Hurry, go find him, and be sure to save his life!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking loudly, the golden pig turned around and whispered to the spy beside him: "Although it was okay for him to hold the spy desperately and fall down the second floor, after that, he never thought about going back to the gambling house to meet him.

We met up and ran outside... Now even if someone says that he went to report to the Jingchao Military Intelligence Department, I believe it. We must send someone to find him tonight, whether he is alive or dead!"

"My lord, if he is still alive?"

"Then let him explain clearly what he did tonight and why he didn't come back to join us!"

"Sir, what if you die?"

"If you die, just die and bury yourself properly."

The spy was confused: "Sir, don't you want to invest in him?"

Golden Pig rolled his eyes at his confidant: "Of course I really want to invest. Do you know the value of being appointed by the Interior Minister to join the Secret Service? But I can't invest in a Jing Dynasty spy or a dead person!"

…

…

There is a unique earthy smell in the air after the rain.

Chen Ji was sneaking quietly against the shadows of the gray walls and gray tiles. His whole body had been soaked by the rain, and he felt that the water-stained clothes on his body were getting colder and colder.

He opened the strip of cloth that was used to bandage his wound and saw that the skin on the edge of the wound had been soaked in water and turned white. If not treated in time, he might become seriously ill.

But how can he have time to treat his injuries now? After escaping from the gambling house, no matter how realistic his acting is, the Golden Pig will definitely be suspicious.

It would be truly fatal if he couldn't explain his whereabouts afterwards.

At this moment, Chen Ji did not go back to the Taiping Medical Center, but returned to the alley where he killed Jing Chao's spy, faked the scene of the fight, and pretended that he fainted after the fight.

etc.

Chen Ji suddenly stood still. He always felt that he seemed to have missed some details, which could very well lead to his being exposed.

What is it?

What on earth!

Chen Ji suddenly lowered his head and glanced at the wound on his chest, and then realized what details he had missed.

But he saw him pick up the long knife belonging to Jing Chao's spy, carefully cut a gash on his right thigh, and then continued on his way.

Chen Ji staggered, and from time to time he had to avoid the watchmen passing by on the street. He only felt that he was getting weaker and weaker, so weak that he could hardly open his eyes.

At a certain moment, he was thinking, was it worth it if he was injured tonight but failed to solve the hidden danger?

To him, that Wu Hongbiao seemed to have popped out of a rock. He suddenly appeared, catching him off guard.

Did Wu Hongbiao lie? Chen Ji tends not to.

The two sides immediately fought each other as soon as they met. At that time, Wu Hongbiao was still capable of fighting and there was no need to pretend at all.

But after he recognized Chen Ji, he immediately relaxed and fell to the ground, even throwing away the knife. This was tantamount to putting his life in Chen Ji's hands.

A person who risked his life to inform him, even if Chen Ji never knew him and had no feelings for him, he still couldn't do anything.

Law-abiding people are melancholy all day long, while Qiang Liang sings joyfully every night. Although this era is pathological, he is not from this era after all.

Seeing that the alley was getting closer and closer... Just one block away from the alley, Chen Ji saw fire coming from the distance, as if someone was looking for something with a torch.

He quickly hid in the shadow under the wall and thought quickly about countermeasures.

The person coming must be the Secret Service. If he walked past like this, he would definitely bump into him.

Do you want to retreat directly?

No, he had to go back to that alley to make things right tonight.

Chen Wei climbed up to the roof with great difficulty, carefully ducking down to avoid being searched. Several times when spies looked towards the roof, he could only lie down and crawl forward slowly.

As time passes by, Chen Ji's physical strength will be exhausted.

Finally, the small alley was in front of him, and he slid down quietly while holding on to the wall. But when he landed, he felt his feet go weak and fell into the water.

He lost too much blood and collapsed.

Chen Ji struggled to get up, dragged spy Jing Chao out from the pile of debris, and faked the surroundings as traces of a fight.

Then he played with the body of spy Jing Chao, so that both parties returned to the position where he strangled the other party with the scabbard and lay on his back, pretending that he had fainted due to excessive injuries after the murder.

However, his injuries were not severe enough to eliminate the Golden Pig's suspicion!

A trace of determination flashed in Chen Ji's eyes. He held the dagger in Jing Chao's spy's hand. He held Jing Chao's hand and stabbed the previously opened wound on his thigh with the knife until the dagger did not reach the hilt.

!

In an instant, heartbreaking pain hit me.

Chen Ji's whole body convulsed, and cold sweat fell like soybeans on his forehead.

But from beginning to end, he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.

Not only that, Chen Ji also held the accumulated water on the ground with his hands and kept pouring it on the wound, so that the blood seeping out of the wound would not show the difference between before and after the rain.

Chen Jiqiang continued to finish all this, until he vaguely saw firelight outside the alley, then he slowly closed his eyes and relaxed his mind, and he really passed out.

…

…

I don't know how much time had passed, but under the guidance of the spy, Golden Pig squatted down next to Chen Ji and took a look.

He first opened Chen Ji's eyelids, took a torch and waved it in front of Chen Ji's eyes: "The eyelids did not tremble, and the pupils contracted slowly... He really fell into a coma."

The golden pig touched the wound on spy Jing Chao's neck again: "Strangled to death with a scabbard. Before he died, he stabbed the kid in the thigh... I didn't expect that this kid could kill the spy alone. It was me.

You underestimated him."

Jin Zhu changed the subject: "But Jing Chao's spy skills are far beyond ordinary people, how did this kid win? Is it true that Ji people have their own destiny... Wait, untie all the traces of clothes, I want to check

If there is a wound, it is very likely that he left midway and then came back to repair the injury."

The next moment, the spy tore open his trousers and top, revealing the stab wounds inside. He saw that both stab wounds were white and swollen due to being soaked in water for a long time.

Fortunately, Chen Ji made a cut on his leg in advance and allowed it to soak in water and swell. Otherwise, if the Golden Pig found out that the wound was a new one, it would be exposed.

This is the detail that Chen Ji almost missed.

The spy said to the golden pig: "Sir, the stab wound has been there for a while, and there is no lie. With such a stab wound on his leg, he cannot move freely. He should have fainted here after fighting with the spy.

"

The golden pig breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems there is really no problem...Am I too suspicious?"

"Sir, what should I do now? Should I send him for treatment?"

"No," the golden pig shook his head: "Take him to the inner prison and ask a doctor to go to the inner prison to treat him. If he wakes up, tell me as soon as possible. I still have some things to ask him. People are most vulnerable when they are weak.

Ask for something."

"clear."

However, at this moment, a voice came from outside the alley: "My lords, have you seen my apprentice? He is tall and thin, and he is wearing black clothes."

Golden Pig narrowed his eyes slightly and looked towards the entrance of the alley, only to see old man Yao with white hair and beard standing at the entrance of the alley, asking about the spy.

Just as he was asking, Old Yao turned his head and looked into the alley, frowning: "Master Golden Pig, why are you here in Luo City?"

"Good evening, Imperial Physician Yao, are you here looking for an apprentice in the middle of the night?" Jin Zhu took a step forward with a smile, blocking the traces behind him.

Old man Yao walked over step by step and asked, "Have you seen my apprentice?"

"No," Jin Zhu shook his head: "Mr. Yao should look elsewhere."

"Who is behind Mr. Golden Pig?" Old Yao had come closer and looked at the traces lying on the ground: "Isn't this my apprentice? Why did Mr. Golden Pig lie? Why is he lying here?"

Jin Zhu said awkwardly: "Hahahaha, it turns out he is your apprentice. I didn't know it before. He was injured by the gangsters in Jing Dynasty, and I was about to send him for treatment."

Old Man Yao nodded: "Then please send two secret spies to carry him back to Taiping Medical Center."

Golden Pig subconsciously said: "No."

Old Yao was confused: "Is there any place in Luo City that can treat patients better than my Taiping Medical Center? Could it be that my apprentice committed something wrong?"

The Golden Pig hesitated for a moment: "I didn't commit any crime, but I did meritorious deeds."

Old Man Yao breathed a sigh of relief, but his tone was solemn: "If he has committed a crime, Lord Golden Pig can deal with it as he pleases, but if he has not committed a crime, then I will write to the Minister of Internal Affairs and ask him. The Secret Service will keep it

What's the point of my apprentice?"

The golden pig was silent for a long time, and finally waved to the spy: "Help Imperial Physician Yao carry Chen Ji back."

He stood in the alley, frowning as he watched Old Yao's retreating back.

After a while, Golden Pig murmured to himself: "I always feel like something is wrong..."

…

…

In his sleepy state, Chen Yu lay on the carriage and swayed, as if he was drifting on the sea in a boat.

The sixteen fires near his Dantian were swaying non-stop, as if they were about to go out at any moment like a lamp running out of oil. The ice flow in his body, which had been dormant for a long time, was about to stir.

The ancient traces seemed to be swept up by the ice flow onto the black sea of ​​clouds again, drifting like a lone boat for an unknown amount of time before drifting to that ancient battlefield again.

The shouts of killing and the clashing of gold and iron are like gods fighting.

Chen Ji saw countless ancient birds flying in the sky, dragging their long and gorgeous tail wings!

Chen Ji saw the human battle formation on the ground advancing continuously. Human cavalry were sitting on tall war horses. No, to be precise, they were no longer horses. Those below eight feet were colts, and those above eight feet were dragons!

On the other side of the human battle formation, countless giant beasts seemed to be surrounding something, whining non-stop!

The traces fell down into the sea of ​​clouds and landed on a tower on the edge of the battlefield. He saw a tall figure in the battlefield, wearing golden armor and holding the king's flag, walking firmly among the troops step by step.

Beside him, a cyan light and shadow surrounded him like a meteor, penetrating the incoming enemies one by one.

After a long time, Chen Ji saw clearly that the bright meteor was actually a handleless "sword"!

However, at this moment, the tall and majestic figure suddenly looked at the ancient traces on the mountain: "Return my divine way!"

"Return my sword seed!"

"Give me back!"

"Otherwise, it will cost you your life!"

The next moment, the sword light that covered the sky and sun filled the air like a tide, making it so oppressive that people could not breathe.

The mountain wind howled, making the old clothes rustle.

But this time Chen Ji had no fear. He looked squarely at the majestic body and the overwhelming tide of swords, and asked calmly: "Why?"

The voice sounded like a giant ax striking the mountains, making a rumble and echo.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ji's body suddenly lit up a fire, one, two, three... six hundred and eighteen, seven hundred and twenty!

The light of the furnace fire shines through the body, as bright as a star!

In front of these stars, the tide of sword light was split into two like an island!

The majestic figure was silent for a moment, and then laughed loudly, and the laughter circled the sky: "You are back, it is you who is back!"

…

…

"Old traces? Ancient traces!"

"Why are you calling him? He is still unconscious. Don't call him!"

"But I saw his eyelids move... Hey, hey, he opened his eyes... Master! Master! Chen Ji is awake!"

Chen Ji slowly opened his eyes and saw himself lying in the apprentice's dormitory of the hospital.

He felt the fire inside his body for the first time, but found that there were still sixteen fires. It turned out that it was just a big dream.

He looked up again, only to see the heads in front of him... She Dengke, Liu Quxing, Liang Gou'er, Liang Mao'er, the Crown Prince, Princess Baili, the young monk?

Chen Ji didn't understand why the three people behind him were also in the dark apprentice's dormitory.

He wanted to sit up with his arms, but Liu Quxing pushed him back: "Don't move, don't move, master told you not to move."

Chen Ji looked at the sky outside and saw that it was still dark. He wondered: "How long have I been unconscious?"

"The whole day!" Liu Quxing said: "We were all scared to death!"

Chen Ji's heart skipped a beat, he was unconscious for a whole day?

I don’t know if I have deceived the Golden Pig?

What happened to Wu Hongbiao? Did he escape or was he found by the Secret Service and Military Intelligence Department?

But at least he wasn't in prison when he woke up...and that's the good news.
