The Heroes of Gulong: Great Chefs from Past to Present

Chapter 457 Frame-up
Mornings in Kanto are always cold and quiet.

There is a small house among the mountains.

The cottage is not big, just an ordinary farmhouse with three rooms at most, but it is well maintained and quite lively.

There was a wooden fence surrounding the outside, and just a few acres of mountain fields in the distance.

Just from the appearance, you definitely can't tell that it is a place where people of the underworld live in seclusion.

A black cloth carriage was coming from outside the mountain in the distance. Chu Liuxiang had come out of the carriage and was standing at the front.

It's just because the bumpy ride in the car is so intense that it's impossible to sit comfortably.

Knowing that this visit to his friend was only to conceal Yu Jian's whereabouts, Chu Liuxiang was just curious about what friends he had in the martial arts world who could cooperate with Mr. Du so well and not be suspected.

When asked about this, Sun Kong always gave unclear answers.

Just by looking at his expression, he knew this person's identity, but Sun Kong deliberately didn't say it.

Following the instructions, Sun Kong arrived at the location and looked at the hut with some confusion in his eyes.

Along the way, he prepared the luxurious carriage and arranged the young woman, so why is this man's residence so shabby?

Following a "whoosh" sound, the carriage was stopped by Sun Kong, who called out with a smile.

"The person has been brought here, why don't you come out to greet him?"

Chu Liuxiang looked at the small house which was as quiet as water, but his nose twitched slightly, then his eyes widened and he exclaimed in surprise.

"No, something happened inside!"

As Chu Liuxiang jumped off the carriage with one step, he pierced into the wooden house like a sharp sword, and a hint of bloody smell wafted into his nose.

Following the direction of the blood, Chu Liuxiang also saw the appearance of the man in black in front of the table, and exclaimed in surprise.

"A little red in the Central Plains!"

The man in black looked tough, with a tiny wound between his eyebrows, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

However, the tables, chairs, wine and food on the table are proof that someone once had a chat and a drink with Zhongyuan Yidianhong here.

At this time, Sun Kong also followed Chu Liuxiang's footsteps into the wooden house. When he saw Zhongyuan Yidianhong's body, his face was full of panic and he said in shock.

"impossible!"

When Chu Liuxiang heard this, he suddenly turned his head to look at Sun Kong and asked.

"What's impossible?"

Sun Kong did not hide his panic at all, and answered at this time.

"Brother Hong is much better at martial arts than me. No one in the martial arts world can kill him or even make him unable to fight back."

After hearing Sun Kong's words, Chu Liuxiang also looked at Zhongyuan Yidianhong's hands.

The thick calluses on his knuckles proved that Zhongyuan Yidianhong had never given up his martial arts.

Zhongyuan Yidianhong is the world's number one killer. Not to mention his ability to sense murderous intent, even the most skilled masters would find it difficult to make him sit there and die.

Unless he never expected that this person would kill him directly.

At this time, Sun Kong had already stepped forward to check Zhongyuan Yidianhong's body, and after looking it up and down and left and right, he nodded to Chu Liuxiang and said.

"There is no sign of poisoning. He was definitely killed with one sword!"

Chu Liuxiang swallowed hard because Sun Kong only saw the sword wound.

But Chu Liuxiang, who had seen Li Chaofeng's magic knife, thought it was a knife wound.

If you are hit by the knife head-on, the wound left by the Demon Knife Thousand Blades is similar to the sword wound, but slightly different.

It is thinner and deeper.

Many times, it will be a penetrating wound.

But didn’t Li Chaofeng return to Central Plains?
With his martial arts skills, he must have passed Shanhaiguan by now. How could he still be staying in Changbai Mountain?

As Sun Kong looked towards the opposite side of Zhongyuan Yidianhong, he analyzed with a frown.

"This person is sitting opposite Brother Hong. Not only can he kill people with his sword, but he can also make Brother Hong, who is famous for his swift sword, unable to react in time."

Sun Kong frowned and shook his head: "There is no such swordsman in the world."

Chu Liuxiang lowered his head and looked at the empty seat beside him, his eyes becoming more and more painful.

"Maybe. He is not a swordsman."

Sun Kong was startled. He was also an expert in the martial arts world for many years, and he could still recognize sword wounds.

I just think this sword is too thin, like a sword used by a woman. But even a man may not be able to hurt Zhongyuan even a little, let alone a woman.

More importantly, there is a large gap between the seats opposite, and judging from the distance, this person must be quite tall.

After touching Zhongyuan Yidianhong's body, Sun Kong nodded again and said.

"The murderer left a few hours ago at most. I'm afraid Brother Hong was killed in the morning."

Hearing this, Chu Liuxiang looked at Zhongyuan Yidianhong's extremely familiar face, with a hint of pain in his eyes.

But there were still doubts in this matter, and Chu Liuxiang was not in a position to say who the murderer was. He looked at Sun Kong and asked.

"The person who asked Brother Sun to invite me here is undoubtedly a prominent figure in the Central Plains?"

Sun Kong nodded: "Of course, he came to me personally and told me that Xiang Shuai had come to the outside of the pass."

"And we are all familiar with Xiang Shuai, and we live next to each other. Instead of letting Xiang Shuai look for us one by one, it would be better for us to gather together and talk by candlelight at night."

Chu Liuxiang struggled, but asked with all his might.

"Then why hide it?"

Sun Kong no longer concealed anything and spoke slowly and clearly.

"Brother Hong said that Xiang Shuai is very curious. If it is a simple invitation, although Xiang Shuai will be happy to accept it, he will not feel surprised."

"Why not play some tricks to add some fun to Xiang Shuai's boring journey?"

Chu Liuxiang closed his eyes and thought, but tried to calm his emotions and asked again.

"Did Brother Hong leave any other instructions before he died?"

Sun Kong thought for a long time, but just shook his head and said.

"There is no other explanation, just let me send Xiang Shuai here to meet you."

Chu Liuxiang closed his eyes. With his current judgment, everything made sense.

Mr. Du has connections everywhere, so it is not too difficult for him to find Zhongyuan Yidianhong who is living in seclusion here.

Zhongyuan Yidianhong was born a killer, so he can easily keep secrets.

Li Chaofeng and Zhongyuan Yidianhong also experienced life and death in the desert.

If we meet on the road and have a good chat, it would be reasonable.

As for Li Chaofeng, it was naturally easy for him to take advantage of the break in the conversation and kill someone with a knife.

The Demonic Knife Thousand Blades is a hidden weapon, and Li Chaofeng can shoot it out just by raising his hand.

If there was a red dot in the rapier, even if someone was allowed to carry it with them, they would still be wary.

Li Chaofeng's reputation for punishing evil is known throughout the world, and Zhongyuan Yidianhong is a well-known killer, so it is only natural for him to kill people.

The only doubt is
How did Mr. Du know that he and Zhongyuan Yidianhong were close friends!

It had been ten years since he parted from the red desert in the Central Plains.

Black Pearl? Or someone else?

And is the murderer really Li Chaofeng?

Looking at the position of the dishes and chopsticks on the table, Chu Liuxiang didn't want to believe his own guess.

But he also knew that to be able to place it so accurately, the person who framed him must be very familiar with Li Chaofeng's daily habits.

While Chu Liuxiang was thinking, Sun Kong had already looked at the two inner rooms and walked out of the inner room with two large food boxes in his hands, his eyes full of sadness.

"Two food boxes, one is empty, the other is still full."

Looking at the leftovers on the table, Sun Kong sneered.

"It seems that the murderer's friendship with Brother Hong is no different from that of Xiang Shuai."

Seeing Chu Liuxiang frowning, Sun Kong had already opened the food box and advised him in an open-minded manner.

"Xiang Shuai, Brother Hong is dead, and he died at the hands of his good friend."

"We have to eat our fill before we can track down the treacherous murderer and comfort Brother Hong's soul in heaven."

Hearing this, Chu Liuxiang sighed, then nodded silently.

A little red in Zhongyuan went to the desert for him, so how could Chu Liuxiang not track down the murderer?
