Keyboard Immortal Chapter 1040: The Mysterious Man of the Round Table
The first time I heard about the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce, when investigating Shen Zhou's case, I learned that he was investigating the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce's smuggling case during his lifetime.
But Zaan knew that Shen Zhou died near the capital. At that time, he should have been on the way to Beijing to report the letter, and it was impossible to investigate any smuggling cases.
And the charred corpse that was burned to death in the warehouse in the smuggling case was not a sinking boat, so he didn't care too much about the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce.
But as the follow-up investigation continued, it was discovered that the shadow of the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce would appear from time to time. Until now, when he learned that the monster master might also be hiding in the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce, he knew that there was definitely something wrong with the Chamber of Commerce.
"I'll go with you to the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce to investigate." Zaan said.
Qiu Honglei was a little surprised: "Will it not delay your business?"
Zuan shook his head: "It's okay, I just have something to check."
Qiu Hong's teary head rests on his arm, her eyes smiling like crescent moons: "Azu, you are so kind to me."
Zuan clapped her hand, and the two chatted about their lives after their separation.
I unknowingly came to the vicinity of the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce. In fact, strictly speaking, many stores in Yunzhong City are owned by the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce, so they cover a huge area.
But according to the information from Qiu Honglei, that Kong Qing should be hiding in the general meeting.
The two were hanging out like a couple near the headquarters, secretly checking the guards of the chamber of commerce, recording their shifts, etc.
After some investigation, Zuan was secretly shocked: "Is this Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce going to heaven? The guards around are more exaggerated than those in the county governor's mansion and the city master's mansion."
Qiu Hong Lei replied: "The Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce is already very large in scale. They have branches all over the world, and Yunzhong County is where their headquarters is located, which is naturally more exaggerated than other places."
Zuan hesitated, wondering if it would be safer to send troops to investigate?
However, the movement of troops is too big, and he has no evidence in his hands. If nothing can be found in the end, there will be a lot of trouble in the follow-up.
After all, leading troops to search such a large taxpayer of the imperial court for no reason, the impact was too bad.
So he decided to go check it out first to see what was going on.
Soon the two of them waited until the evening, Qiu Honglei wanted to go in, but was stopped by Zu An: "You wait outside, after all, that Kong Qing can escape from your master's hands, and his cultivation must be very high, and The Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce is so large, and there must be many experts guarding it."
Qiu Hong Lei snorted, obviously dissatisfied: "I am also a saintly saint, and I still have the ability to protect myself."
"This time is really different," Zuan said in a deep voice, "This time not only involves the killing of the elders in your sect, but also involves the great changes in Yunzhong County's officialdom, which is definitely not simple, even if I enter Be careful, you will not be sure to protect your safety at that time."
With Qiu Honglei's talent and resources, given time, she will definitely become the top expert in the world, but she is too young, and she has only been practicing for ten years or so. How to compare.
This time, she is facing a master at the master level. He can't figure out what's going on inside, and he doesn't dare to let her take the risk.
Hearing his cautious tone, Qiu Hong Lei thought about it and nodded before saying: "It's okay, so as not to go in and drag you down. Well, I'll pick you up outside. If I sense that you're in danger, I'll be outside. Make some noise to distract them."
If it was just her, she might have gone, but with Zaun, if he really got involved, that's something she didn't want to see.
Zuan smiled and pinched her cheek. When he was about to sneak in, Qiu Honglei suddenly grabbed him and gave him a lantern in his hand: "Take this with you, the name of this thing. For Xiaochangxin Palace Lantern, once it is lit, it can imprison creatures within a radius of several meters. Of course, if the target has a high cultivation level, it can't help it, but it can also slow down the opponent's actions, so you can take self-defense."
She was about to teach her how to use this little long letter palace lantern when Zaun pushed her hand back:
"Don't worry, with my current cultivation level, I can't use this, this is your trump card, you should keep your defense, and you will have to respond to me later, in case some masters come to besiege you , I'm more at ease with this stuff."
Seeing his calm tone and the calmness in his eyes, Qiu Hong pursed his lips and smiled, and no longer insisted: "I forgot that your current cultivation base is no longer what it used to be, or you have to be careful."
Zuan nodded and slipped in while the guards had just left.
The guards outside were able to break through their defenses with ease, as they observed the pattern during the day.
However, as he went deeper, he clearly felt that the guards inside were getting stricter.
A lot of secret places have secret whistle-blowers to watch the audience secretly, and they will warn you if there is any trouble.
"A chamber of commerce is so mysterious." Zaan frowned, feeling more and more that the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce would have problems.
Of course, with his current cultivation, and Yu Cong's ability to open the perspective, it is not difficult to avoid these dark whistles.
But there are so many houses in the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce that Zaan searched for a while and found nothing.
He quickly stopped looking for a needle in a haystack, but hid in the shadow of an attic. At the same time, he used the jade cong to expand his influence, mobilizing all the small animals of the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce and asking them to help find it.
Of course, with the intelligence of those little animals, it must be difficult to understand how to find a master demon, but Zaun doesn't need them to understand, just use them to be afraid.
The other party is a monster master-level figure, and these small animals are actually monsters in a broad sense, but they are just low-level beasts without consciousness.
So those monsters naturally have the coercion of superiors over inferiors to these small animals. Once they get close to a certain range, these small animals will perceive extreme fear, and then they will understand where the target is. .
Those little animals began to wander around the houses of the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce, making the guards in the house bewildered, wondering if they've hit an evil spirit today.
But everyone didn't care too much, just thought these little guys were too hungry to come out looking for food.
The search continued, and after about a stick of incense, the results finally came.
Zuan opened his eyes and looked at a yard a few hundred meters away. It was pitch-dark, and all the small animals didn't dare to go there. Even the cats and mice that passed by were shivering.
"It's you!" Zaan pointed his toes, and the whole person was like a night owl, flying silently over there.
The whole yard was quiet, but Zaan didn't dare to be careless. He took the white concubine's sachet to suppress the breath extremely low, and then used "Der Jingfeitai" to cover up the faint fluctuations of vitality. Touched in slowly.
Although the opponent is a grandmaster, it is not that he has never fought a grandmaster, or even more powerful ones.
He is now at the pinnacle of the ninth rank, plus all kinds of secret books and strange skills, if he encounters a master, even if he fights alone, he will not suffer much.
Along the way, he checked carefully, worrying about the existence of the dark sentry, but after searching for half a day, he found that there was not a single guard.
He was relieved quickly. The top experts of the demon clan lived here, and it was useless to ask for guards, but it was easy to reveal the identity of the other party.
So he increased his speed and came to the central room.
Before it was posted, I heard the voice of a faint conversation inside.
"Huh? Isn't there more than one person." Zu An moved inwardly, and his footsteps were suddenly hesitant.
He should be able to cope with only one demon clan master, but if there are more masters, it will be troublesome.
But in the end, I couldn't hold back my curiosity. Since there was someone talking, I might be able to overhear many secrets about Zuo Su's murder this time, and uncover the mystery of Yunzhong County.
It shouldn't be a big problem for a few more people to protect themselves with his current cultivation.
There can't be several masters in it, right?
He came to the edge of the window, poked a hole lightly, and peered in.
There were no lights inside, it was dark, but with his current cultivation, he could barely see the scene inside.
I saw that there was no other furniture in the hall, except for a large round table.
The round table is huge, more than ten times larger than a normal table.
There are very few people sitting around, only 5 people by count.
The distance between each other is very far, it seems that they are afraid of each other, no wonder this chair has to be made so big.
And each of them is wrapped in a large black robe.
Zu An An thought that the previous TV series were all deceptive. At that time, when he saw those who were masked and blindfolded, and even more exaggerated, people around them who wore glasses would not recognize them. He thought that if he was in the game, he would definitely They can be easily recognized.
But now Zaun is really confused, because these people's disguise is so good, I can't see their appearance at all, and I can't even tell their gender!
"These guys are sneaky, it looks like an illegal assembly." When Zaan was complaining, someone inside said:
"Why did you want to kill Zuo Su?"
