Wuxia: I know a lot of martial arts

Chapter 270

In the boudoir late at night, Chu Tang was trapped for a long time.

Chen Suming returned to the inner room again, first there was the sound of light footsteps, and then there was a sound as if something was rolled up.

After a while, she went out to the outer room again, holding a long cylindrical object in both hands.

Chu Tang could see it clearly, and couldn't help being startled—it was a silk scroll!

"This..." Chu Tang's heart was beating wildly, and he couldn't accept it. "Isn't it the painting? It's always on her body? It's just hanging in the room? Isn't that too hasty?"

It's not just sloppy, it's just ridiculous!
This thing ruined Chen Suming's family, and Zhou Ziyu tried his best to get it.

Chen Suming fled to Sima's Mansion in Qingcheng with it?

It's simply a great spectacle from the sky, a great absurdity in the wild world!
"Gollum!"

Seeing Chen Suming walking slowly with the picture scroll in his hands, Chu Tang swallowed hard, feeling his throat was itchy, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say.

"Head Chu, here you are!" In the darkness, Chen Suming casually handed the scroll to Chu Tang.

"Uh..." Chu Tang didn't take it, but looked at Chen Suming curiously.

Chen Su's bright eyes flickered, and he said with a chuckle, "Boss Chu is surprised that this thing is in my hand?"

"You..." Chu Tang paused, "Did you really bring it all the way here?"

"Does Team Leader Chu think it's possible?" Chen Suming asked without answering.

"Huh?" Chu Tang was surprised.

Chen Suming said quietly: "Those people killed my family. They searched the entire Chen family and couldn't find it. No matter how tricky my father was, he wouldn't let my siblings escape with it. It would be the same as harming us." Already!"

Chu Tang took it for granted, and said, "So Chu has always thought that what is in your hands should be just a clue, such as where Dong XZ is, or who has it."

"Team Chu's guess is half right."

"half?"

Chen Suming hummed, and asked, "Does Captain Chu know what is the relationship between the Qin family and my family here?"

Chu Tang said: "I heard that Ling's sister-in-law is the son of Sima Qin Jing, and the two families are related by marriage."

Chen Suming nodded and said: "That's right, I'm currently living in my brother-in-law's house. Qin Sima and my father are good friends, and the two families are family friends. A few years ago, my sister and his son became friends with Qin and Jin. Chief Chu, is this the case?" Didn't those people make it clear to you?"

Embarrassed, Chu Tang touched his nose.

With Zhou Ziyu and the others infiltrating the Sima Mansion, how could such a relationship not be understood!
Not to mention the relationship between these two families, even the various relationships between other people in the Sima Mansion and the outside world are well understood, and many of them have been explained to Chu Tang.

Seeing that Chu Tang didn't answer, Chen Suming sneered: "They were able to set up an ambush on my way to Qingcheng, so it can be seen that my siblings have long been expected to come to seek refuge in the Sima Mansion. How could they not be aware of the relationship?"

Chu Tang was speechless. Knowing that the relationship between your two families is clear to outsiders, you and your brother are desperately rushing to Qingcheng. Isn't this courting death?

"If they hadn't run into me, Zhou Ziyu and the others would have been afraid of disturbing the situation. They were just afraid that they... Hey, that's not right!" Chu Tang was shocked and thought more deeply: "Judging from the ages of Chen Suming and her brother, she My father was only in his 40s, and the Liang King's Rebellion happened more than 50 years ago. At that time, he was probably not even a tadpole! How could he, a small squire from a county below Mengjun, marry Sima Qingcheng? Are they relatives-in-law? The two families are not even close to each other! Could it be..."

Could it be that their friendship was formed by the previous generation?

In the previous generation, for example, Chen Suming's grandfather should have been active in the era of King Liang.

And the Chen family has clues to King Liang's treasure, so Sima Qin's family was also under King Liang's command at that time...

Chu Tang's heart was in a mess. It's not his fault that he thought too much. It's because the matter of King Liang's treasure was extremely dangerous. If he was a little careless, he would lose everything and die!

"Team Chu, what's the matter with you?" Seeing that Chu Tang didn't say a word, and Chen Suming couldn't see clearly in the dark, he couldn't see his expression clearly, so he could only ask.

Chu Tang came back to his senses, and continued Chen Suming's previous topic and said, "They also guessed that Miss Chen, you only had clues. That's why they knew you were in Sima's Mansion and didn't act rashly. It's just that they and Chu both miscalculated. I didn't expect you to actually have a real object in your hand."

Chen Suming was silent, and said after a while: "I said that the leader of Chu's guess was only half right. It's not a lie. My father did give me the clue of the so-called King Liang's treasure. At that time, our Chen family didn't have such a thing."

"This?" Chu Tang heard the key, and his eyes fell on the picture scroll in Chen Suming's hand.

Seeing that Chu Tang hadn't moved yet, Chen Suming shook his hands and unfolded the scroll. A scroll five or six feet long hung down in midair.

Chu Tang saw things at night as if they were day, and he saw this thing clearly.

This is a landscape painting, with black and white, undulating lines, and landscapes vividly on the paper.

Chu Tang was shocked, remembering that Zhou Ziyu had mentioned that the painting owned by the Chen family was the road map for King Liang's treasure.

"Could it be that the painting on it is where the treasure is hidden?" Chu Tang couldn't help reaching out to take the scroll from Chen Suming's hand.

It was heavy to start with, so he held the painting up in the air to look at it, looked back and forth several times, only knew that there was nothing special about it, and he couldn't tell where it came from.

"Team Chu, what can you see?" Chen Suming asked quietly in the dark.

Chu Tang smiled wryly, and replied honestly: "I haven't gained anything."

Chen Suming smiled and said, "This is just my father's random graffiti."

"Ah?" Chu Tang was even more surprised.

Just as he had inferred, Chen Suming's father should have been born after the death of King Liang, and he had never met King Liang. Of course, it was impossible to draw a road map for King Liang's treasure.

Surprised, I heard Chen Suming say again: "This is something that my Chen family gave as a dowry gift when my sister got married. Just because my sister didn't want to give up her family, my father gave her this painting, saying that it can be seen and thought about. To comfort the homesickness. For the past few years, it has been kept in Qin's house. After I came to Qingcheng, I asked my sister to get it. The reason is that the family is broken and people are dead, and I need something from my father to comfort me."

Chu Tang's heart moved, and he asked: "Could it be that the clues to the so-called King Liang's treasure have been hidden in this thing by your father?"

"Did Bantou Chu find anything special about this painting?"

"Special?" Chu Tang looked again, but couldn't find anything, so he shook his head and smiled wryly, "Miss Chen, a certain warrior from Chu, is illiterate, and is not familiar with Fengya, so I can't see anything special in the painting. place."

Chen Suming said: "Don't you think it is heavier than ordinary paintings?"

"Heavy?" Chu Tang weighed the painting, and the scrolls at both ends shook accordingly, "Eh? It's definitely heavier. This scroll...is it made of metal?"

"Bantou Chu has a good eye. The scroll is indeed made of brass. Although it is hollow, it is indeed several times heavier than ordinary wooden and bamboo scrolls."

"Hollow..." Chu Tang tightened his hands, turned his head to look at Chen Suming, vaguely aware of what the other party was going to say.

Sure enough, I only heard Chen Suming smile without emotion: "My father may have expected that someone would come to ask for the treasure, so he specially made this pair of axes, put the thing in it, and returned it As a dowry item, my sister brought it to the Qin family in Qingcheng. My sister didn't know the inside story, she just regarded it as an ordinary painting and hid it in a cabinet most of the time. Those who knew about it followed When my father goes west, it's just me."

Chu Tang smiled wryly and said, "My father really..."

In front of someone's daughter, it's really hard to judge each other.

Chen Suming took off a hairpin from his head casually, and said: "My father has worked so hard, so of course people will not easily notice the things on the scroll. There is a cover on the end of the scroll, and even if the cover is opened, the middle half of the scroll will be sealed. , and can only see a swarthy patch.”

Chu Tang listened quietly, knowing that there should be more to come.

"Actually, the sealed place in the shaft is a mechanism, and you need a special key to open it and take out the contents." Chen Suming didn't keep Chu Tang waiting, and quickly explained, shaking the hairpin in his hand.

The hairpin should be made of silver and emit white light in the dark.

"This is the key?" Chu Tang sighed, "The thing is in the hands of Ling Jie, and the key is in the hands of Ms. Chen. The key should be given to Ms. Chen by your father, so Chu guessed half right?"

"Team Chu is really a smart man!" Chen Suming praised.

Chu Tang smiled wryly, as long as he wasn't very clever.

Chen Suming said again: "This hairpin is the clue that I escaped all the way. Even if those people killed me, they would not think of the key point."

Chu Tang hummed, who would have thought of this?

It has to be said that Chen Suming's father had already calculated everything, and he was probably prepared for the rare goods to live in, but he didn't expect Zhou Ziyu and the others to kill people when they came up, and they didn't give them room to bargain!
With a sigh, Chu Tang handed the scroll back to Chen Suming.

Chen Suming took it silently, turned the painting upside down, opened a cover on the left side of the shaft, picked up the hairpin and inserted it in, then twisted it slightly, and it started to rotate, only a clicking sound was heard in the silent night.

"Okay!" Chen Suming pulled out the hairpin, turned the painting upside down again, and shook the scroll vigorously, only to hear a whoosh, and something fell from the scroll, and she caught it in her hand with quick eyesight.

Chu Tang took a closer look, and saw that it was a rolled up silk cloth, white and yellowish.

"Huh!" He couldn't help breathing heavily, his eyes were fixed on the silk cloth, and he couldn't move away.

Chen Suming didn't open the silk cloth, and stuffed it directly into Chu Tang's hands, his voice full of inexplicable emotions: "Boss Chu, this is what you want!"

Chu Tang took the silk cloth in a daze, looked at Chen Suming with pity, and said, "Miss Chen, thank you very much..."

"You don't have to thank me!" Chen Suming said in a much colder voice, "This is just part of the deal between you and me. As you said, this thing in my hands is not only useless, but also easy to cause death. Team leader Chu can help me It's taken care of, and I can't thank you enough!"

Chu Tang smiled wryly. Even so, his whole family lost their lives because of this matter, and he was entangled with the person who killed their family...

well!What is it all about!
Unable to explain, Chu Tang could only silently open the silk cloth and watch it.

The silk cloth is not big, just over one foot long and half a foot wide, very light, and some lines are drawn on it.

And these lines are not quite the same as the landscape painting just now. The undulating hills are the hills, the curved lines are the routes, and there are some tiny characters on it.

I don't know if it is a treasure route, but it is indeed a map!
Chu Tang's heart was beating wildly, and he took a few deep breaths before calming down, slowly folded up the silk cloth, and put it in his bosom unceremoniously.

Looking at the silent Chen Suming, Chu Tang said slowly: "Miss Chen, you should completely forget about the things on this picture, don't talk to others, and don't try to find them."

Chen Suming raised his head abruptly, his eyes sparkled, and said, "I thought that the leader of the Chu team was going to kill me to silence me!"

Chu Tang smiled wryly, and made a promise: "As long as Ms. Chen doesn't get entangled in this matter, Chu will ask them not to provoke you again. You...you can live your life with peace of mind!"

Chen Suming hummed, and said, "I knew that Team Leader Chu is a good person!"

Chu Tang let out a long sigh when he heard the words: "A good person doesn't live long, and a disaster lasts for a thousand years! Chu hopes to be a thoroughly bad person, so that he doesn't have to be so tired!"

Hearing Chu Tang's bitterness, Chen Suming's tone also became pityful: "Boss Chu, I believe you will be able to clear your grievances. Nanqinghou's son is a recognized scourge, and Qingcheng has suffered for a long time. You killed him for The court will always be aware of this. Those people... are too dangerous, so don't get too entangled with them!"

Chu Tang laughed and said, "Thank you, Ms. Chen, for your concern. Chu knows it and has her own opinion."

Chen Suming heard Chu Tang's determination, and said in a sad tone, "Boss Chu, are you leaving?"

Chu Tang nodded and said: "Qingcheng is not a place to stay for a long time, the matter has been settled, and I will leave immediately."

"Then, there will be a period later, you... Take care!" Chen Suming lowered his voice and lowered his head.

Chu Tang took a deep look at her, and said: "The mountains are high and the rivers are long, the rivers and lakes are far away, and the murderous intent is pervasive. There will be no future..."

The word "ba" was drawn very long, and the voice echoed softly in the room.

When Chen Suming raised his head, he saw a blur in front of his eyes, and he had already lost Chu Tang's trace. He only felt a gust of wind blowing, shaking the paper window slightly.

Feeling depressed, Chen Suming ran to the window quickly, and looked around, only to see the dark courtyard was silent, and there was no shadow of Chu Tang!
"Young Master Chu..." Chen Suming seemed to be in a low mood, looking at the night sky for a long time, unable to regain his composure.

…………

Besides, Chu Tang, after bidding farewell to Chen Suming, he immediately floated out of the attic, and in the air, he put on the human skin mask again, and put a black scarf on his face.

Then, after a few moments of maneuvering, he left Sima Mansion all the way, and once again landed in the alley where he came.

Before he got out of the alley, there were a few whoosh sounds, and several figures rushed into the alley one after another, landing on the road in front of and behind him.

"Huh?" Chu Tang stopped.

After looking back and forth, I was slightly startled, he was surrounded?

Two men in black each blocked his way out and way out!
"Who are you all?" Chu Tang asked in a deep voice, but there was no doubt in his tone, as if he had guessed their purpose.

Of course, for the sake of caution, at this moment, he acted sickly and suppressed his voice, so that people could not recognize his original voice and behavior.

"Young Master Chu, stay safe and sound!" A man in black standing facing Chu Tang spoke, his voice was recognizable in the dark night.

"You are..." Chu Tang noticed that the voice was very familiar.

"Three-star Sword Sect." The man in black reminded.

"It's you!" Chu Tang suddenly realized.

There are still four people, and they are still dressed in night clothes. Isn't it just the remnants of the so-called Three Star Sword School who fought against Jin Changgong on the mountain before!

The man in black in front of him is the master of the seven realms!
"You guys came so fast." Chu Tang sighed, "So impatient to deal with Chu?"

The man in black's voice sounded faintly: "Young Master Chu is serious, how can you deal with it? It's just that what Young Master Chu did tonight is of great importance, and I'm just here to meet Young Master Chu."

Chu Tang smiled wryly, and said, "Your acceptance really flatters Chu."

The man in black asked directly, "Young Master Chu, have you got the item?"

Chu Tang hummed, but did not respond.

"Really got it?" The man in black's voice became excited, "Quick! Leave it to us!"

Chu Tang frowned and said, "Your Excellency, did you make a mistake? The agreement between Chu and Mr. Zhou didn't say that he would hand over the things to you, but that Chu would take them back to the inn and wait for the next step."

The man in black said impatiently: "It's safer to leave it to us, this is also an order from Mr. Zhou."

Chu Tang flatly refused: "Your order is unreasonable, please forgive me for not being able to follow the order."

The man in black was angry: "Do you want to swallow that thing for yourself?"

Chu Tang sneered: "I think you have ulterior motives!"

"How dare you... ah! Chase!" The man in black jumped into a rage.

It turned out that while Chu Tang was speaking, his body leaped into the air unexpectedly, and leaped over their heads in a whoosh, as fast as a cheetah.

"Don't let him run away!"

The four men in black were furious, and they also desperately chased into the darkness.
