Seeing this, the old woman hurriedly raised her feet, then used her hands and feet to climb quickly along the beam twice, and jumped out of the hole in the roof.
While the breach was opening, the old woman put her right hand into the bag on her waist, grabbed a handful of white powder, and sprinkled it into the breach.
Luo Chen, who was about to escape through the breach, saw this and hurriedly retreated for fear that the white powder was highly poisonous.
"quack……"
The old woman looked back, laughed strangely, and then swept forward.
But it just swept out two or three meters.
Sudden!
"Bang!"
The roof in front was broken open in vain, and a bright knife was sent towards the old woman's chest among the flying tiles.
"Pfft..."
"Well……"
The old woman who was flying by couldn't get back in time, and she watched helplessly as her chest hit the knife that was brought to her, and then her heart was broken open and came out from her back.
The tiles fell away, revealing Luo Chen's slender figure. Looking at the one eye in astonishment in the dark night, Luo Chen pulled out the thunder knife with an expressionless face.
"puff……"
"Bang!"
The thundering knife brought out a stream of blood, and the old woman's body fell down, rolling on the roof and falling to the ground.
Glancing at the dead old woman on the ground, Luo Chen picked up the crutch that fell on the roof, pulled out the snake-shaped sword and looked at it.
Looking at the dots of star patterns on the snake-shaped sword, Luo Chen suddenly realized that no wonder this sword could block the Thunder Knife. It turned out to be forged with patterned steel. However, the forging technology of this snake-shaped sword was a bit inferior because it was made of patterned steel.
The best weapons are forged with trapezoidal patterns.
Putting away the snake-shaped sword, Luo Chen sensed that nothing was missing in the small courtyard, turned around, swept down the roof, and disappeared into the night.
Returning to the street in front of Dinghe Pawnshop, Luo Chen saw that the door of Dinghe Pawnshop had been closed, but the inside was still the same as when he left.
Letting go of his senses, Luo Chen sensed the presence of Zheng Xiaoliu in a corner diagonally opposite Ding He Pawn Shop. So, Luo Chen walked towards him.
Seeing Luo Chen coming over, Zheng Xiaoliu, who was leaning against the wall of a shop with his arms folded, spat out a piece of grass in his mouth, stood up straight and asked: "Master Luo, how are you?
?”
Luo Chen nodded: "Well, it has been solved and the news has been heard."
Immediately, Luo Chen asked Zheng Xiaoliu: "Where is the waiter?"
"this……"
Zheng Xiaoliu smiled awkwardly: "Run away!"
"Ran?"
Luo Chen frowned and looked at Zheng Xiaoliu in confusion: "You, a dignified third-rate late-stage warrior, let a third-rate early-stage boy run away?"
"Um."
Zheng Xiaoliu nodded solemnly: "He seemed to have help. After I chased him into a flower house, he disappeared."
"Is this so..."
Luo Chen raised his brows and withdrew his gaze: "Just run away! He's just a third-rate early stage warrior, nothing to mention. Anyway, I already got what I wanted to know."
After saying that, Luo Chen looked around again: "Let's go! Find a place to rest first."
After saying that, the two walked towards the street one after another.
A night of silence.
The next morning, Zheng Xiaoliu went out early to inquire about the news, while Luo Chen practiced in the inn room.
Originally, Luo Chen planned to go to the Information Pavilion of the Intelligence Hall in Wuwei City to ask for information, but Zheng Xiaoliu came up early in the morning and volunteered to find out the information, so Luo Chen followed him.
Zheng Xiaoliu didn't return to the inn until after lunch.
"How's it going? Have you found out?"
Looking at Zheng Xiaoliu who was sweating profusely, Luo Chen handed him a cup of tea.
"Um!"
Zheng Xiaoliu took the teacup, took a big sip of tea, put down the teacup, raised his hand to wipe his mouth: "I have found out clearly, that Zhao Zichen and Lu Kexiao are two of the three major forces in Wuwei City, the Cao Gang and the Lu Mansion respectively.
The Young Gang Leader and the Second Young Master."
"Caobang? Lu Mansion?"
Luo Chen frowned and asked: "What is the strength of these two forces?"
"They are all about the same strength!"
Zheng Xiaoliu wiped the sweat from his head and said: "The strongest of these two families are second-rate late-stage warriors, namely Zhao Yi, the leader of the Cao Gang, and Lu Li, the leader of the Lu family. In addition, each family has seven or eight second-rate junior high schools.
first-rate warriors, and dozens of third-rate warriors.”
"Is this so..."
When Luo Chen heard this, he immediately lowered his head and began to ponder.
Seeing this, Zheng Xiaoliu hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Master Luo, you...you don't want to destroy these two families, do you?"
"What? Is there any problem?"
Luo Chen looked up at Zheng Xiaoliu.
"Of course there is a problem!"
Zheng Xiaoliu smiled bitterly and said: "What I'm talking about is only their superficial strength. No one knows how much strength they have secretly. But as a force that has existed for hundreds of years, their secret strength is definitely not small."
"Um!"
Luo Chen nodded: "I know this well. I don't want to kill them. The only ones who want to kill me are Zhao Zichen and Lu Kexiao. I won't harm others because of this."
"That's good!"
Zheng Xiaoliu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Luo Chen really wanted to kill these two families, Zheng Xiaoliu would have to consider whether to continue to follow Luo Chen, because these two families are not easy to mess with, even though Luo Chen has a second-rate late stage
, but when the time comes, you may not be able to come back.
Luo Chen looked at Zheng Xiaoliu, knowing what he was thinking, and didn't care. He continued to ask: "Is there any news about Zhao Zichen and Lu Kexiao?"
"some!"
Zheng Xiaoliu nodded: "I know from a servant in the Lu Mansion that Zhao Zichen and Lu Kexiao have been going to Yixiang Tower every day these two days, and they will go there tonight too."
"Yixianglou..."
Luo Chen nodded thoughtfully, then smiled at Zheng Xiaoliu: "Thank you for your hard work!"
"Haha! No hard work, no hard work, it's a piece of cake." Zheng Xiaoliu replied with a smile.
Immediately, Luo Chen picked up the crutch that he got from the old woman on the table and handed it to Zheng Xiaoliu: "I got this from last night, give it to you!"
"Is this? Huh..."
Zheng Xiaoliu took the crutch, and the stick-like crutch sank in his hand. Zheng Xiaoliu suddenly became curious.
"hehe!"
Luo Chen smiled and pointed at the crutch: "This is a sword, forged from patterned steel."
"Treaded steel?"
Zheng Xiaoliu suddenly became interested. He twisted the position pointed by Luo Chen and pulled out the snake-shaped sword:
"Tsk tsk... It's indeed made of patterned steel, but the forging technology is a bit inferior. It's much worse than your knife. It's a pity that a good piece of material is wasted!"
"Be content!"
Luo Chen smiled and said: "Not many people in the Central Plains know how to forge this patterned steel trapezoidal pattern. It is already very good that it can be forged like this."
"Hehe! That's right."
Zheng Xiaoliu sheathed his sword with a smile, and cupped his hand to Luo Chen: "I won't be polite about this, thank you Mr. Luo."
"You are welcome!"
Luo Chen waved his hand: "If you are not satisfied with this sword, come to my Ziwu Villa to resmelt and forge it another day."
"Haha! That's a good feeling! Don't tell me, this look is really not suitable for me."
Zheng Xiaoliu smiled and tapped his crutch on the ground.
