Chapter 157 Confused, Ambush Failed
A quarter of an hour later.
After Tang Chen and others finished eating, although the meal was not extremely delicious, everyone also wiped out them.
"Chu Zheng, let the shopkeeper remove these plates and add some tea!" Tang Chen ordered.
"yes!"
Chu Zheng went downstairs, greeted the shopkeeper, and explained everything Tang Chen said.
"Uncle, you go back to the private room and sit down first. I'll bring someone up to clean up immediately!"
"good."
After Chu Zheng left, the shopkeeper's smiling face suddenly disappeared, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.
Soon, he came to the kitchen and said to Zhao Yi: "Chief, they have finished eating, let's go up and clean the table."
"Clean the table? Haha!"
"We have to clean up not only the tables, but also their lives!"
Zhao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a cold voice.
"Let everyone go up the second floor and ambush outside Tang Chen and his private room. You two go into the private room first, pretend to clean up the table, and then take the opportunity to attack to see if you can kill Tang Chen on the spot. If Tang Chen is not killed on the spot, it doesn't matter. When you attack, we will also rush into the private room."
"I will hold Chu Zheng back, and you will start to surround Tang Chen. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
Everyone nodded, and a cold light appeared in their eyes.
Soon, the group came to the private room of Tang Chen and others. At Zhao Yi's instructions, the shopkeeper and his servant began to knock on the door.
"Several uncles, we're here to clean up the table."
One breath.
Two breaths.
...
After ten breaths, no one in the private room answered.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper frowned slightly, but at Zhao Yi's instructions, he and another servant pushed open the door gently.
But when they pushed the door open, they were stunned!
The private room was empty, not even a figure!
"What's going on?"
The shopkeeper who was replaced by the killer was stunned!
"How many uncles, where are you?"
The shopkeeper shouted around.
Unfortunately, no one answered!
At this time, Zhao Yi also led the others into the private room. When he looked at the empty private room, he was also stunned. Then he looked at the shopkeeper and frowned and said, "What's going on? What about Tang Chen and the others?"
"I don't know either."
The shopkeeper was also full of doubts. Chu Zheng asked them to go up to clean the table just now, but why did they pass by and disappear in a while?
It would be fine if one or two people went out to "convenient", but why wouldn't they all be seen? It's impossible that so many people are "convenient" at the same time...
"Everyone searches nearby separately. Remember not to use spiritual consciousness. If Chu Zheng notices it, it will be a bad thing!"
Zhao Yi thought about it and ordered.
"yes!"
The killers began to search Taoyuan Building and searched the area around Taoyuan Building by the way.
After a while, the killers returned to Taoyuan Building.
"How is it? Have you found Tang Chen, Chu Zheng and others?" Zhao Yi asked.
"Not found in Taoyuan Building."
"Not found on the southeast sides outside Taoyuan Building!"
"No one was seen outside Taoyuan Building in the southwest direction!"
The killers answered one by one.
"Um?"
"What the hell is going on?"
"Why did they suddenly disappear? Did they discover us? It shouldn't be! We swallowed the elixirs that concealed our cultivation, and also understood the lifestyle of the shopkeeper and servants of Taoyuan Building. It would be impossible for Tang Chen, Chu Zheng and others to discover something abnormal!"
Zhao Yi frowned and looked puzzled.
"Chief, aren't there two of our inner men in the private room next door?"
"Maybe they know where Tang Chen, Chu Zheng and others are going!"
The killer pretending to be the shopkeeper pointed to the private room beside him and reminded him.
Because Zhao Yi was here just now, the killer who searched for Taoyuan Building did not actually search the private room where the guards were staying.
"Yeah, go and take a look!"
Zhao Yi took a few steps forward and pushed open the door. When he saw the scene in the door, his pupils suddenly shrank.
"how so?"
The sound was filled with shock.
This private room is exactly the same as the private room that Tang Chen and others just now, empty and there is no one at all!
"Where are people?"
"Where did the guards in this room go?"
The killers were confused.
"Chief, did those two inner escorts betray us?"
The shopkeeper guessed.
"It shouldn't be. Look at the food on this table, there are a lot less. Obviously, Tang Chen's guards all ate our poisoned meal!"
Zhao Yi pointed to several plates empty on the table and analyzed.
"Then why did they disappear?"
The killers were full of doubts, but no one answered them.
After a while, Tang Chen and others disappeared, as if they had never passed by this Taoyuan Building.
"I don't know this, but we may be exposed, everyone will leave with me!"
Zhao Yi was also decisive. After realizing these abnormalities, he decisively took the killers away from Taoyuan Tower and prepared to report what happened here to Xu Hong after he settled down.
And just as their group of killers left one after another, there were three people standing on the mountain not far away. These three people were no one else, Tang Chen, Chu Feng, and Chu Zhan!
“Huh?”
"Elder Chu, as you said, there is something wrong with the people in Taoyuan Building!"
Under the night, Tang Chen looked at the figures leaving Taoyuan Tower quickly and said in surprise.
Before this, he always thought that the people in Taoyuan Building were all ordinary people. Until just now, when Chu Zheng asked the shopkeeper to clean up the dining table and return to the private room, Chu Feng suddenly said that these people in Taoyuan Building were not ordinary people, but killers!
At first, Tang Chen and Chu Zheng didn't believe it. It was not until Chu Feng asked them to go to the next room to investigate that they found that the guards were dying. They believed that this Taoyuan Tower was abnormal!
According to Tang Chen's original intention, he was preparing to fight against those people in Taoyuan Tower, but Chu Zheng, who had always been calm, felt that since the other party dared to ambush them, he must be absolutely sure, and it is recommended to avoid the edge for the time being.
After repeated consideration, Tang Chen retreated to this mountain.
Of course, if Chu Feng takes action, he can kill all the killers in Taoyuan Tower by moving his fingers.
But Chu Feng felt that he had just gone down the mountain and needed to act low-key and not kill people, so he did not take action.
Although Chu Feng did not take action, he did nothing. With his superb medical skills, he saved the poisoned and dying guards around Tang Chen.
"Feng'er, how did you know that there is something wrong with the people in Taoyuan Building?"
Chu Zhan said with a puzzled look on his face.
He also observed the shopkeeper and servant of Taoyuan Building, but after observation at the beginning, there was no fluctuation of spiritual energy in the body of these people, no different from ordinary people!
If he had just low cultivation and no abnormality was found, it would be understandable, but Chu Zheng, who was still in the late stage of the Nascent Soul, did not even find the shopkeeper. He couldn't figure out the abnormality of the servant. He had no idea how Chu Feng, who was in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, could not understand how Chu Feng, who was in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, noticed the abnormality of those people.
When Tang Chen, who was standing beside him, he also stared at Chu Feng with curiosity.
"There is a special martial art in Shushan Sword Sect that can find a trace of abnormality of a person who is disguised."
Chu Feng smiled slightly and pushed all this to the Shushan martial arts.
Anyway, Tang Chen and others couldn't verify it. They believed it, no matter how Chu Feng told him.
"Shushan Sword Sect is worthy of being the leader of the right path. Its martial arts are indeed powerful!"
Tang Chen gave a thumbs up and praised.
"This time, if Elder Chu hadn't noticed something abnormal, I, Tang Chen, would have fallen to the ground and the Nascent Soul disappeared. Please accept my beg!"
Tang Chen bent down respectfully at Chu Feng and bowed.
"You are welcome to be polite to the Sixth Prince."
Chu Feng shook his head and smiled.
Since his father Chu Zhan is already standing on Tang Chen's side, he naturally needs to help more or less.
