Comprehensive martial arts: He was in the Jin Kingdom, but he returned to the Southern Song Dynasty

Chapter 12 His name is Zhui Ming

"who is it!"

Lu Chen was startled and stepped back in the opposite direction, pressing his back against the wall while looking up.

The source of the sound had no intention of covering up his whereabouts. He was squatting on the beam, stepping on the beam with his toes and holding his hands in front of his chest. This would have put huge pressure on the place where the toes came into contact with the beam. , it squeaks at the slightest movement. But when he stepped on it, it was like a weightless feather. If he didn't make a sound, it would be completely silent.

Looking further up, Lu Chen saw a familiar face, full of wrinkles, smiling, and wearing a hat.

"Who else could it be? This brat doesn't know me, but he's going to be whipped!"

"...Steward Cui." Lu Chen swallowed and shook his head, "No, you are not Steward Cui."

"Steward Cui" nodded, "Yeah, I was interested in it for a moment, so I actually took out the original voice." This was a younger man's voice, leisurely, it was hard to tell whether he was middle-aged or young, anyway, he was far better than his appearance. Come young.

Disguise...

"That's a fellow man. Who are you, the master thief? In fact, I'm here to get a fortune too."

Lu Chen smiled and looked at the toes of "Steward Cui", "Friend, you are good at Qinggong and your martial arts are definitely not bad. I am not your opponent. We have a chance to meet each other, haha."

"If you were really willing to surrender, how could you secretly steal those two knives from your waist? You were so sweet and talkative, but you didn't say a single true word. How come you, a big thief who stole money, came to the pharmacy to get medicine?"

"Steward Cui" smiled, but he revealed Lu Chen's thoughts, actions and origins behind his words, which made his face darken. "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you. I know you are here to save Taoist Master Qiu Chuji." , I also want to save his life."

"..."

"You may still be confused about what I just said, but it's just not easy to ask. I answered on my own initiative. You did take the medicinal materials, but you didn't know that Wanyan Honglie was superior. He had already added special ingredients from the Wen family's time-honored brand to these medicinal materials. The poison you bought is usually colorless and odorless. Once it enters the human body, it emits a special smell. After training, domestic dogs can smell it from thousands of miles away. If you give it to Taoist Qiu, he will vomit blood on the spot and die. If you die, you will also be surrounded by the pursuers of Prince Zhao, and then die, which is really miserable."

The more he spoke, the more terrifying and quiet his tone became, creating the effect of a ghost story, as if he was looking forward to the scene of Lu Chen screaming in fear.

But anyone who becomes the protagonist of a ghost story must find it difficult to appreciate it. When Lu Chen imagined that future, his hair stood on end, his heart went cold, and he was speechless.

damn it! Wanyan Honglie, a person from the gold system, how could you learn such ruthless methods from the ancient system!

If possible, he wanted to turn around and look at the medicinal materials he had obtained, but he was in such a situation, and he couldn't just believe what others said. It took him a long time to hold back a sentence, "...Who are you?" people?"

"Before you ask me, let me ask you first." Butler Cui looked at Lu Chen and said, "Who are you, what is your relationship with Daoist Qiu, and why do you come to such a dangerous place with such low martial arts skills?" Fetching medicine? Don’t you know that there are dangers here, everyone’s martial arts are better than yours, and if you’re not careful, you will die unexpectedly?”

This old man who always had a playful smile turned a little serious when he said this.

"I thought you...senior knew everything."

"I've been looking at you, but I don't understand you. I'm probably no less curious about you than you are about me."

"...I am Qiu Chuji's apprentice."

"Qiu Chuji is famous all over the world, and the Quanzhen Sect is powerful in all directions, but I have never heard of a disciple like you. What is your name?"

"My name is Lu Chen. I am a new recruit. I was born in Zhao Fucheng. I make a living by begging. I was lucky enough to be favored by my master, who taught me martial arts for a month..."

"——January!" This was probably the first time Butler Cui showed a surprised expression, "Just one month? But you gave your life to Qiu Chuji?"

"Why did I lie to you, senior?" Lu Chen sped up his speech a little irritably. Butler Cui took this as a place for conversation and talked about family matters in a long and leisurely manner, but he didn't think this was a good choice.

If someone discovers it, the entire Prince Zhao's Mansion will be organized, and he won't be able to escape even if he has wings.

"For one month's grace, you sacrificed your life to save someone, but you are a loyal man... Well, I don't count you as a man now, let's call you a boy..."

"...Thank you, senior, for taking care of me."

Stop being so nagging!

"I didn't kill the medicine boy just now... I still uphold benevolence and righteousness."

"... Please also ask senior to tell me your name and surname."

Still talking to myself!

"In fact, he is very thoughtful, brave and wise, he just needs some experience."

"Yes, yes, so senior, you..."

Friend or foe? Enemy or friend!

"I am Cui Luoshang."

"It turns out to be Master Cui."

Who is Cui Lueshang? Is he famous? Why are you just talking about this? I don’t know him...

"You can also ask me to chase my life."

"It turns out it's -" Lu Chen's eyes widened, "Zhuiming Cui Lueshang!" His mind stirred for a moment, and then he remembered that the real name of one of the four famous hunters, "Zhui Ming", was Cui Lueshang.

"Yes, I'm chasing my life. I'm chasing my life because I can't drink freely. I'm chasing my life as an undercover Zhao Fucheng. I'm chasing my life after working hard." Zhui Ming wrinkled the old man's face and said before Lu Chen could react. What, it suddenly moved.

At this moment, Lu Chen's spirit condensed, and everything in the world slowed down.

But even in such a slow world, his life-chasing movements are still very agile, much faster than ordinary people. Even if Wan Yankang stabbed him with the powerful spear that day, it would be impossible to hit him. The movement was like a whirlwind, sweeping over Lu Chen.

Lu Chen had no idea what was happening and couldn't resist. By the time he reacted, the person had already been lifted onto the rafter.

"Shh!"

Next to him, Zhui Ming, who looked like Butler Cui's old face, raised his index finger at Lu Chen. He was holding Lu Chen and pouring internal energy into his hand all the time.

This internal force adjusted Lu Chen's breathing rhythm, pulse movements, and changes in his whole body. Lu Chen found that now two people were stepping on the beam, and the beam could actually bear it, and his whole body became as light as a swallow. Movements that are not particularly loud will not cause any noise.

Sure enough, he is the one among the Four Famous Catchers?
Lu Chen silently guessed the identity of this person, and looked to the side again. The medicinal materials were still there, and Zhui Ming had brought them with him.

But the bamboo basket has returned to its original position.

After a while, there was a slap at the door, and then the medicine boy's exclamation. Soon, an old man dressed as a housekeeper walked in with a few strong men carrying the medicine boy. Lu Chen knew that these were people who made regular inspections.

They noticed something strange, checked the medicinal materials and found the stolen medicinal materials.

Above, the two people are communicating on another level.

Zhuiming held Lu Chen down without opening his mouth, but Lu Chen could hear his voice, "Now I'm transmitting the sound into the secret. You probably have a lot of doubts in your mind, so I'll tell you what the situation is like here. Don't say anything." .”

nod.

"My involvement in the affairs of your master and apprentice is a perfect coincidence. This time I came to Zhao Fucheng of the Kingdom of Jin for a mission. As you can probably guess, it was a secret meeting between the dignitaries of the Kingdom of Jin and Wanyan Honglie."

doubt.

"The most powerful people in the Great Jin Kingdom are two people, the gold master Wanyan Feng and the Supreme Mansion Wanyan Jue. This time, for the first time, they issued the same order. This group of people came with their will and asked Wanyan Honglie to execute an order. This conspiracy is related to our Song Dynasty and must be investigated."

carry on.

"But I never expected that as soon as I lurked into Prince Zhao's Mansion, I would find Taoist Master Qiu Chuji coming to teach Wanyankang martial arts. I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought that the world-famous Quanzhen Seven Sons were secretly practicing gold, until later they secretly When I found out that Wan Yankang was plotting to kill Taoist Master Qiu, I realized that the matter was not that simple."

Humph, this little beast.

"It's a pity that I have a mission and cannot be exposed. That night, Taoist priest Qiu Chuji was surrounded and killed. I could only help him secretly. I gave him a little help. Fortunately, he left alive. But Wanyan Honglie also had a few tricks, and he expected Qiu Chuji The Taoist leader had to detoxify, so he first bought up all the detoxifying herbs in the city, but then deliberately made the pharmacy empty, as if to lure people into taking the bait. So he secretly investigated and found out about the strange poison in the time-honored Wen family."

gratitude.

"Ha, don't just thank me, you have to thank yourself. Because I just know that this thing is useless, and I don't know where the Taoist priest is, so I can only worry here. Fortunately, you are here!"

This old fox!
"Ha, I guess you scold him in your heart, so scold him as hard as you can. I also want to scold him very much, because he not only plotted against you, but also gave me a headache. What that group of people sent was a letter. After the handover, Wanyan Honglie kept it close to him. He has always been cautious. No matter how high my martial arts skills are or how fast I strike, he can shatter it."

What should I do?
"For the time being, I can only give it a try, but the most I can do is kill Wanyan Honglie and go back with the fragments of the letter to see if it can be restored. But the probability is extremely small, and it is very likely in the end. We can only know There is indeed such a letter in the world, but only God knows what is written in the letter."

Anxious, very anxious.

"What do you want to say when you look at me like this? Is it possible for you to let me complete the task?"

Nod, nod wildly.

"...Then let's talk later."

Below, the medicine boy was panicking, "What should I do? Butler Liu..."

The housekeeper sneered, "Huh, what should I do? This big viper has not been lost, and the old immortal will not be angry. As for the medicinal materials... I wish he would take away the medicinal materials, let's go and inform him!"

Several people claimed that they were, but the medicine boy had a confused face and was kept in the dark, but he followed him out.

The room was empty again. Lu Chen held it in for a long time and finally couldn't help but say, "Are you really after your life?"

Zhui Ming smiled bitterly and said, "You are staring at me so anxiously. Is that what you want to say?"

He pulled at the skin of his chin and tore a section upwards. It turned out to be a personal leather mask, revealing the younger half of the face below. "I can only prove this. If you still ask, then how can I?" There’s no way to prove it’s me.”

Lu Chen was doubtful and pondered. After a while, he finally made up his mind, "Old Cui, I have a way to teach you how to get the letter back."

"...O-Lao Cui?"

"Aren't you curious why I was able to enter Prince Zhao's Mansion?" Lu Chen said, "I believe that Wanyan Honglie may be wary of everyone who approaches him, but he will definitely not be wary of his closest woman. It just so happens that I have a headache. How can I give it to her in the future? Looking for a husband, you are the best at this as agents - I will outsource her to you!"
