Luo Chen was stunned. He didn't expect that the news of the hidden murder of Menshanmen would cost as much as five million taels of silver.
Immediately, Luo Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't have so much money to buy this news. So, he said: "Forget it, let's change it! I want to know the location of the Hidden Killing Sect's stronghold in Wuwei City."
"Two thousand taels of white eyes."
The low voice remained the same, and it did not change because Luo Chen changed his mind.
Luo Chen smacked his lips, two thousand taels of silver was not cheap! But it was still acceptable. So, without hesitation, he took out two banknotes from his arms and handed them into the window.
The person at the counter collected the check, picked up a pen and scratched the paper a few times, then handed the note out: "This is it."
Luo Chen took the note, looked at it twice, and shattered the note into powder.
"Let's go!"
After speaking to Zheng Xiaoliu who was standing aside, Luo Chen took the lead and left the dim room.
The southeast area of Wuwei City is the most lively and prosperous place in the entire Wuwei City. Because it is close to the dock, there are people coming and going, there are many shops, and there is an endless stream of small stalls and hawkers.
"They sell pancakes and fruit! Pancakes and fruit cost two cents each..."
"Pork buns, freshly baked meat buns..."
…
"Master, please be kind, my little one hasn't eaten for several days..."
"Hey, those two guys in front, get out of the way!"
Luo Chen threw two coins into the bowl of a lame beggar, and then he and Zheng Xiaoliu stepped to the side of the road to pass a fast-moving carriage.
"arrive!"
Zheng Xiaoliu pointed to a pawn shop opposite.
"Well! Go in!"
Luo Chen nodded, crossed the street with Zheng Xiaoliu, and walked into Dinghe Pawn Shop.
At this time, there were three people in the Dinghe Pawn Shop, an old man with a kind face and a kind face standing at the counter on the high platform guardrail; a middle-aged man in well-dressed clothes standing in front of the counter talking to the old man; and a man who was wiping the tables and chairs.
Waiter.
When Luo Chen and the two walked into the pawn shop, the old man and the middle-aged man stopped talking and turned to look at them.
Seeing Luo Chen, the old man frowned immediately. After thinking for a moment, he opened a cabinet under him and took a look at a portrait hanging inside.
Seeing that the person who came was the same as the one in the portrait, when the old man looked at Luo Chen again, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Two guests, don't know what to expect?"
The old man remained calm, with a smile on his kind-hearted face.
Luo Chen shook his head: "I don't think it's anything, I just want to ask the shopkeeper something."
"Then I'm really sorry."
The old man's smile remained unchanged: "This store is a pawn shop, not a place for buying and selling information. I'm afraid the customer has come to the wrong place."
"Really?"
Luo Chen looked at the old man meaningfully: "But the news I want can only be found here."
"Oh? I wonder what news the guest wants to know?"
"I want to know who is trying to kill me?"
Luo Chen squinted his eyes and looked at the old man.
"It seems that the customer has really gone to the wrong place. Why kill someone? This is a pawn shop!"
The old man said, secretly winking at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man understood and was secretly on guard. The waiter who was wiping the tables and chairs also slowly moved towards the door of the pawn shop.
When Luo Chen saw this, he didn't take it seriously. He sneered in his heart and said, "Have you gone to the wrong place? The shopkeeper knows in his heart that I have no other intention. I just want to know who hired you to kill me?"
"Bang!"
As soon as Luo Chen finished speaking, the waiter who had just approached the door closed the store door, immediately isolating the store from the outside.
"snort!"
The kind look on the old man's face disappeared and was replaced by a look of murderous intent: "Since you know where this place is, you still dare to come to our door? Are you really not afraid of death?"
"Why don't you dare?"
Luo Chen looked at the old man with a sneer.
"snort!"
The old man looked at Luo Chen coldly: "We didn't go to see you some time ago because you had something to do. Since you have appeared here, Jing Jiu must have been poisoned by you, right?"
"I do want him to live, but it's a pity that he wants to die." Luo Chen said regretfully.
When the old man and the middle-aged man heard this, their expressions suddenly became solemn. They knew Jing Jiu's abilities, but they still fell into the hands of the other party in the end. It can be seen that the other party was much stronger than expected.
However, despite this, the middle-aged man is still not too worried, because he is Jing Ba, and he is also a more powerful killer than Jing Jiu.
"So you are Luo Chen? I was planning to go find you! Unexpectedly, you showed up to the door yourself, which saved me a lot of trouble."
Jing Ba sneered and looked Luo Chen up and down.
"oh?"
Luo Chen looked at Jing Ba with a cold light in his eyes: "I just killed one, and another one comes. Do you, the Hidden Killing Sect, really intend to fight to the death?"
"Hmph! Nonsense!"
Jing Ba looked at Luo Chen as if he were looking at a dead person: "I have been hiding in the killing sect for hundreds of years, and I will never stop dying when I take the task. I have never made a mistake. Can you be an exception? Today, when you enter this sect, don't do it."
I want to get out alive."
After saying that, Jing Ba touched his waist and suddenly there was a soft sword in his hand. Then, he walked up quickly and swung his sword towards Luo Chen.
"Hmph! I want to see how much better a second-rate late-level killer like you is compared to the one in front of you."
As Luo Chen said this, he held the sheathed Thunder Knife in his hand and blocked the sword that was being swung at him.
Zheng Xiaoliu, who was standing next to Luo Chen, hurriedly took a few steps back to give up his position.
"bite!"
The swords collided, and the soft sword that was blocked was bent as if it were boneless. The tip of the sword bit Luo Chen's wrist holding the sword like a poisonous snake.
Seeing this, Luo Chen flicked the tip of the sword with his right hand.
"snort!"
The blow missed, Jing Ba shook his hand, and the soft sword immediately cut off Luo Chen's left neck artery.
Luo Chen stood on the spot, not panicking, and quickly retracted his left hand holding the knife, blocking the sheathed Thunder Knife on the left side of his neck.
"bite!"
There was another metallic crunch, and the blocked soft sword instantly bent, passed around the back of his neck, and the tip of the sword pierced the artery in Luo Chen's right neck.
Luo Chen was surprised, this soft sword was really hard to guard against.
Without any time to think, Luo Chen tilted his neck to the left and raised two fingers of his right hand to block the sword below the tip. Then he quickly raised his right leg and kicked Jing Ba in the lower abdomen.
Jing Ba hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, but Luo Chen suddenly switched from kicking to sweeping, sweeping in the direction where Jing Ba was avoiding.
"snort!"
Jing Ba sheathed his sword, leaned forward, and swung his sword to cut into the ankle ligament swept by Luo Chen.
When Luo Chen saw this, he sneered and continued sweeping regardless.
"Bah..."
The soft sword cut into Luo Chen's boots, making a tooth-piercing friction sound and bursting with sparks, and then it could not cut any more.
When Jing Ba saw this, he was shocked! Seeing that Luo Chen's leg was about to sweep over his body, he didn't have time to think too much and hurriedly slapped the ground with his left palm and rotated his body close to the ground to avoid it.
