Chapter 268 The Wang Family
But being accustomed to using subtle means to moisturize things does not mean that the Wang Family's hard power is not good. If they really fight with open swords and guns, they will be second to none among the underground forces. .
So it is not unusual for him to raise some dead soldiers.
The more Chen Ziyan thought about it, the more he felt that compared to Liulichang, the possibility of the Wang family was higher.
He has not forgotten what happened in Xiye Ancient City. If he hadn't accidentally discovered it, who would have thought that there would be a group of heavily armed people lurking in the dark.
What's more, in Chen Ziyan's eyes, the Wang family is an organization with faith as its core, so it is not surprising at all that there are some devout members who are willing to sacrifice their lives.
After these thoughts flashed through his mind, Chen Ziyan looked at Chen Yulou: "Uncle, what is the connection you just mentioned?"
Although the possibility is very high, it is just a guess after all. , so he wanted to see if his uncle could provide some evidence.
Chen Yulou was silent for a moment, and then said: "It's really hard to say. I just vaguely felt that the person's routine at that time was very similar to a school that my master had mentioned, but this cannot be regarded as a direct statement. After all, there are many talented people in China, especially the martial arts are even more complicated. "
Chen Ziyan can understand what this means. The development of Chinese martial arts to this day cannot be said to be due to me. , There is You in Me, but they are all somewhat related to each other, and some schools that combine hundreds of schools of thought are even more difficult to trace their origins.
And according to Chen Yulou's description, it was very easy for him to subdue the opponent. I'm afraid he didn't have a few rounds at all, so there was no way to give an accurate reason.
"Uncle, do you still have that body?" Chen Ziyan was slightly disappointed, and then suddenly thought that those people in Xiye Ancient City had a tattoo on their bodies, and asked quickly.
If the same tattoo can be found on this person, it will undoubtedly be the best evidence.
Chen Yulou shook his head without hesitation: "How could you stay? I destroyed it at that time."
Hearing this, Chen Ziyan was helpless and understood. If he were in the same situation, In the same situation, the same choice will be made.
Regardless of the person's identity or origin, the prerequisite is a human life. If the organization behind the other party really ignores the situation and uses it as a pretext, it can really get the person involved in.
Others were confused by the conversation between the two men. Wang Kaixuan was too lazy to think about it and said directly: "I said Mr. Chen and the old man, you two can talk more simply. "
Chen Ziyan felt that there was no need to hide the matter, and it would be good to get vaccinated in advance, so he said: "Fat man, do you remember the group of people we met in the desert? "
< br>"Which group?" Wang Kaixuan didn't react for a while.
Chen Ziyan reminded: "Blue bird tattoo."
"Oh! Mr. Chen, you are talking about that group of people!" Wang Kaixuan was reminded by him and instantly understood what Chen Ziyan was talking about.
He just didn't think of it for a moment, but he didn't forget it.
If those people had not been discovered in time, they might have been taken advantage of by the other party.
Wang Kaixuan then understood what Chen Ziyan meant and asked: "Mr. Chen, do you think that group of people are together with the people this time?"
"There is a big one. Maybe, even more suspicious than Liulichang." Chen Ziyan nodded.
"Listening to what you said, Mr. Chen, I also think that group of people is more suspicious. They can even get firearms, and it's probably not difficult to get some Gu insects." Wang Kaixuan said with a look of approval.
When he saw the batch of firearms, he was really surprised. Looking back now, he felt a little emotional.
So after hearing Chen Ziyan talk about this suspect, he was no longer surprised at the appearance of the Gu insect.
Although Gu insects are to some extent more difficult to obtain than sniper rifles, in Wang Kaixuan's view, the difference is not big. The latter carries a heavier weight in his heart.
Hu Bayi now also knew what was going on, and then Wang Kaixuan said: "If this is really the case, then it will be even harder for us to find the person behind the scenes."
The only clue they have now is the blue bird tattoo, but the tattoo is not usually exposed, so there is no way to use it as a criterion for identification.
However, Hu Bayi also thought of another possibility, and asked Chen Yulou: "Old man, do you know any force that uses bluebirds or birds as a symbol?"
As The person with the most experience in the world here, Chen Yulou seems to him to be a walking dictionary, so there is no need to wait any longer!
But faced with this question, Chen Yulou shook his head without hesitation: "I don't know, but one thing is certain, that is, the forces that use this ancient totem as a logo , Either it just appeared or it has been around for a long time."
Wang Kaixuan didn't understand the reason here, and asked doubtfully: "Old man, how do you say this?"
"This ancient totem is very particular. It cannot be used by anyone who wants to use it. Therefore, if the person who uses this as a symbol is not a newcomer, then it must be an inheritance with some origins." Chen Yulou said slowly.
There is one thing he didn't say, that is, tattooing the blue bird on his body does not mean that everyone in this force does this. Maybe it is also a way of dividing levels.
If this is the case, then the background of the forces behind the scenes is even more worthy of investigation.
However, since he didn’t know much about this aspect and only had some superficial knowledge, he didn’t say anything.
Chen Ziyan thought for a while and made a final conclusion: "Now that Lao Jin's matter has been solved, we can't do more that we want to do, so we should focus on our own affairs first. Don’t be led astray.”
He knew better than anyone else that this matter could only go so far in a short period of time. No matter how hard he tried to explore, he could not dig out the Wang family.
Jiumen and the Wang family have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, but even now they may not know the true identity of the Wang family. From this, we can see how secretive the other party is hiding.
Chen Ziyan didn’t know much about the Wang family, so he simply stayed the same in response to changes.
Anyway, the Wang family’s current main focus is still on Jiumen, so it shouldn’t be a big problem for him to be more cautious.
Waiting until more information is collected, wouldn't it be better to just deal with the Wang family directly?
"What about Liulichang?" Wang Kaixuan asked, thinking of Chen Ziyan's decision just now.
If they had followed their original plan, Liulichang would have been left entirely to the Huo family, and there would be no need for them to do anything themselves.
"Just reduce the intensity a little and teach them a lesson. If that group of people doesn't suffer a little, I'm afraid they won't be able to settle down." Chen Ziyan thought for a while and made a decision.
Although Huo Xiangu has promised to help solve this matter, he feels that he cannot place all his hopes on outsiders, and now there happens to be a great excuse to cause trouble. It would be a pity to miss it like this. .
Wang Kaixuan had no objection to this at all, and nodded happily: "Okay, leave this matter to me."
He didn't mention a word about Hu Bayi next to him. The reason was naturally that he knew that Hu Bayi was not suitable for such a thing, so Wang Kaixuan planned to take it all on himself.
"Fat man, are you related to Black Glasses?" Chen Ziyan did not agree directly, but asked this question.
Since the last time he came back, Black Glasses has gone somewhere, but Chen Ziyan feels that Wang Kaixuan, a guy who has similar interests with him, should have his contact information.
“I have his contact information here.” Wang Kaixuan said.
Chen Ziyan nodded clearly and said: "In that case, you can ask him for help with this matter, and the reward will be double the market price."
It's not that he looks down on Wang Kaixuan's back, but this guy is better at frontal confrontation. For example, this deterrent operation is somewhat inappropriate, and he is definitely not as good as the guy with black glasses.
"Okay, I will contact him later." Wang Kaixuan agreed happily and did not raise any objection.
In fact, even if Chen Ziyan didn't say anything, he was planning to ask Black Glasses for help. To be honest, he was almost sure about this matter. After all, this kind of thing is not something that can be said.
Hu Bayi was listening quietly. Seeing that the two of them were about to finish their conversation, he couldn't help but persuade him: "Mr. Chen, this is somewhat of a bad rule."
He could understand Chen Ziyan's intention to intimidate, but no matter how he thought about it, he still felt that this approach was a bit blunt.
Chen Ziyan has always been very patient with Hu Bayi and explained to him: "Old Hu, the matter about Master Jin should have been spread outside now. If we don't do anything, then we will really break the rules. It's broken." According to our own rules, Lao Jin is lucky this time, but what if the person who gets hit next time is not so lucky?"
Chen Ziyan knew Hu Bayi's nature, so he said this.
And he is too lazy to care about the rules and regulations. If they don't give a strong attitude towards this kind of thing, then they will be pure soft persimmons in the eyes of others.
As for whether the people at Liulichang were wronged or not, Chen Ziyan said that this was not a question that he should consider.
And in the eyes of outsiders, no matter how you think about this matter, Liulichang is the most suspicious. After all, the last high-profile action was right in front of you, so no one would believe them even if they wanted to clarify.
In fact, if Chen Ziyan hadn't had past life memories, he wouldn't have known about the existence of the Wang family.
To put it bluntly, the Wang family has a very deep secret.
Hearing Chen Ziyan say this, Hu Bayi's lips wriggled a few times, but in the end he did not continue to speak.
He is indeed not afraid, but he also does not want the people around him to encounter such a thing again. As the saying goes, it is easy to hide with a knife, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. It is a good choice to give the outside world a certain shock.
Anyway, Chen Ziyan just wanted to intimidate him and had already changed his original plan of retaliating with tit for tat, so there was no need to stop him.
Chen Yulou was very satisfied with Chen Ziyan's approach. He should be tough when he should be tough. People who came from his era would not easily make any compromises. Even if they really wanted to compromise, they would definitely not compromise like the enemy.
The matter came to an end here. A few people chatted for a few words and then returned to their rooms one after another. Only Chen Ziyan and Chen Yulou were left here.
After Chen Ziyan told Chen Yulou about what happened during this period, the former bandit leader directly pulled out a few of his beards and said with regret: "I didn't expect that in this world There is such a strange thing, but it’s a pity that I am already half a piece of earth and have no chance to see it!”
He really didn’t expect that his nephew’s experience would be so bizarre.
Although Chen Ziyan was a little vague when talking about the bronze door and did not explicitly say what was hidden behind it, Chen Yulou couldn't tell what kind of secrets were hidden in it, otherwise he would not have revealed it. So emotional.
However, after sighing, the old man changed the topic and advised: "But you should not go to these two places again in the future. Although it sounds safe, in fact, there are hidden murderous intentions everywhere, far worse than the places I went to before. The King's Tomb is even more dangerous. "
Chen Yulou knew very well that although the King's Tomb that he almost got trapped in was extremely dangerous, it was still inferior to the two places mentioned by his nephew.
You must know that the tomb where the program runs and the tomb controlled by intelligent creatures are two completely different concepts.
Chen Ziyan would not be stubborn and said obediently: "I think so too. I really won't go to a place like this if I can't."
Of course, this is what he feels most in his heart. Real thoughts.
Whether it's Longling or Guazi Temple, there are big guys squatting there, asking him to come and he doesn't even want to go.
Who knows what cards this old monster that has lived for thousands of years has.
Even at this stage, Chen Ziyan feels that the only one who can venture into such a place is Zhang Qiling who has not lost his memory.
Of course, he is really trying to get through, rather than relying on luck like them.
If it really depends on luck, then it really doesn’t matter who comes. Hearing what Chen Ziyan said, Chen Yulou nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "As long as you have an idea."
Then he said: "By the way, since the situation here is unclear now, let the child Yingzi continue to stay at your house. When will a group of mastiffs be trained and he will be able to Let her come over after being guaranteed.”
After this period of getting along, Chen Yulou was very fond of seeing Yingzi, not only because this girl had been with him during this period, but the main reason was that he was here. Yingzi saw the shadow of the red girl.
I think back when he was in charge of Xiling, although there were many strange people among his bandits, there were only three people he relied on the most.
Red Girl, Huamaguai, and Kunlun Mill.
The Wushuang ghost beside Chen Ziyan can be said to be an enhanced version of Kunlun, while Yingzi, who has mastered the ancient skills of mastiff training and has profound hunting experience, can also be regarded as another red girl.
It can be said that to a certain extent, Chen Yulou pinned his regret of not being able to lead the people around him to make a career on Chen Ziyan, who is a junior.
It’s just that Wushuang Ghost is a puppet, so most of Chen Yulou’s emotions can be said to be placed on Yingzi.
Chen Ziyan could probably feel this emotion, so he agreed with it and said: "I also think this is better."
In fact, even if Chen Yulou didn't mention it, he would Yingzi will not be allowed to return to the capital.
The current situation was too chaotic, and he didn't want this little girl to be implicated, so he had better start with the wretched development first.
And now that he has lost his experimental subject, Yingzi’s giant mastiff should be put on the agenda, so this arrangement is also very good.
"By the way, when you go to the Crescent Hotel, I will go with you to have a look." Chen Yulou nodded and said this.
Chen Ziyan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this was his uncle who wanted to support himself!
Why else would he go to the Crescent Hotel?
Things like auctions have little appeal to him.
"Uncle, I can go by myself." Chen Ziyan subconsciously wanted to refuse.
He admitted that he did have some thoughts when he got Chen Yulou back, but he just wanted him to help him stay at the base camp, and he never thought about letting him show up again.
Sitting and standing are not the same thing.
As long as the former does not tell anyone, no one will know the identity of Chen Yulou. After all, there are not many people of that generation left now.
But the platform must first identify itself, which is a good thing for Chen Ziyan, but not necessarily for Chen Yulou, who will inevitably not be disturbed in the future.
"It doesn't matter." Chen Yulou didn't care about this and said lightly: "I want to see which rats dare to provoke our Xiling family."
If it were Chen Yulou before going to Xiangyin, he really wouldn't have much confidence to say this. After all, his power had long since evaporated, leaving only himself as a bad old man.
But now he says that those are just scum that are easy to kill!
Actually, this was something Chen Yulou had already thought about when Chen Ziyan revealed his next plan.
After having sufficient confidence, he had long planned to withdraw Chen Ziyan and raise the banner of their Xiling lineage again.
So after hearing Chen Ziyan say that he would make an official appearance at the auction, Chen Yulou felt that this was a good opportunity to directly let everyone in the industry know the identity of Chen Ziyan's new leader of the Xiling Bandits.
After all, if there is not enough background, a lot of unnecessary bad things will easily happen.
Like the last trip to Longling, if Chen Ziyan had a background behind him, would those people in Liulichang still dare to be so unscrupulous?
So even though Chen Yulou had confidence in his nephew's ability, he still wanted to bring this matter out as early as possible.
"This... okay." Chen Ziyan hesitated for a moment, but agreed.
He could understand what Chen Yulou meant. Although he didn't need to worry about this himself, he had to think about the people around him.
This is also the reason why he wants to use the most cruel way to retaliate against those people in Liulichang, not just to scare the monkeys.
Don’t worry, there will always be some nasty things happening in the future, and you won’t be able to prevent them.
The two men continued to chat for a while, and after preliminary decisions were made on the charter, Chen Ziyan sent Chen Yulou back to his room.
This old man had a long journey back from Xiangyin. Although his body was very strong, he was old after all, so he had to go back and rest.
Then he asked Wushuang Ghost to look at the big golden tooth, while he took the spoils from this trip and started a new round of puppet armor production.
In matters like this, Chen Ziyan has always believed in taking it easy.
Fortunately, he bought more materials last time, otherwise he would have to buy them again.
……
In the blink of an eye, the day came when the auction was held at the Crescent Hotel, and during this period, an equally taciturn person appeared beside Chen Ziyan.
This is an ordinary man who looks about thirty years old. He is the type who is inconspicuous in a crowd. The only thing that is special is his pair of strange eyes, but if you don’t pay close attention, You won’t notice this if you look at it.
As for the identity of this person, Chen Ziyan said to the outside world that he was a helper sent by his family. Hu Bayi and others did not doubt this.
After all, Chen Ziyan’s family background is not simple at first glance, and there are examples of Wushuang ghosts in front of him, so he easily accepted this setting.
Wang Kaixuan also completed his mission with Black Glasses during this period.
I don't know what method these two guys used, but they actually stuffed threatening letters directly into the pillows of the heads of the Liulichang family, but they scared these people to death.
It happened that Huo Xiangu also took action, so for the sake of their own safety, this group of people took advantage of the situation to express their attitude, which can be regarded as bringing the matter to an end for the time being.
However, both sides know very well that this matter has only been suppressed temporarily. If they can find an opportunity in the future, they will never mind stepping on the other side.
Of course, this incident has no impact on Chen Ziyan and the others.
Such a naked threat also made this budding small group a little limelight in the capital’s antique shops. Fortunately, there was a big gold tooth in front of them, so no one said anything. After all, in To outsiders, this looks like a counterattack.
The people at Liulichang couldn't tell the truth about this. Without the slightest evidence, even their defense was basically useless.
"Master Chen!"
"Old man!"
Hu Bayi and others walked into the yard and saw Chen Ziyan and others who had been waiting there.
“Here we come, are you all ready?” Chen Ziyan looked at them and asked with a smile.
"That's right, you don't trust me when I do things!" Wang Kaixuan almost assured him.
"Okay, let's set off now." Chen Ziyan immediately helped Chen Yulou up and took the lead to walk out the door.
Due to the increase in staff and the wealth of their wallets, Hu Ba and his gang also bought a car with Wang Kaixuan, otherwise they would not be able to fit in one car.
While talking and laughing, the two cars drove away one after another, heading straight to the Crescent Hotel.
When the corpses arrived at their destination, the first floor here was almost full. Before a welcome guest came over and could speak, Chen Ziyan said to her: "Little girl, go ask your master Do you still recognize this thing? ”
While he was talking, a gorgeous and exquisite short knife appeared in his hand, and it was the small sword that represented Chen Yulou's identity.
"Wait a moment!"
The welcome guest was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he immediately took the little god's sword with respectful hands.
Although she didn't recognize the significance of this short sword, as a person from the Crescent Hotel, she knew very well that such things were by no means simple.
But before she took a few steps, the gentle woman who had received Chen Ziyan and others last time had already heard the sound and came over. After she took Xiao Shenfeng over and took a look, her expression immediately changed. , quickly stepped forward and handed it back to Chen Yulou respectfully, and at the same time said in a humble tone: "Distinguished guests, please follow me."
Then he took over the job of welcoming guests and led the way for a few people.
Wang Kaixuan was amazed when he saw it, and whispered in Hu Bayi's ear: "My dear, this little dagger of the old man is quite powerful!"
"What do you think? This is a little god!" Hu Bayi said with emotion.
He knew what it was without even looking carefully, and he also understood why the other party was so gloomy.
This is also the time when Xieling has been in decline for many years and is at its peak. I am afraid that if this little genius shows up, the boss of the Crescent Hotel will come to greet him personally.
But even so, after respectfully sending a few people into the box, the gentle woman immediately found the actual person in charge.
"Adjutant, Little Shenfeng has appeared!" The gentle woman's first words after entering the door made Adjutant Zhang, who was standing in front of the window looking up at the sky, froze.
As a person who has truly lived through that era, he understands the meaning of this little Shenfeng better.
After a moment of silence, Adjutant Zhang asked: "Who brought it?"
"It was Chen Ziyan who traded with us last time, but the one who brought out the Little God's Blade was an old man , it seems that he should be Chen Ziyan's elder," the gentle woman said truthfully.
"Chen Ziyan...Chen..." Adjutant Zhang thought about it for a moment, and then showed a hint of realization: "I should have thought of it earlier!"
Then he continued to ask: "Have you invited the exclusive box?"< br>
The gentle woman nodded: "I have already brought him over."
"Yes." Adjutant Zhang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It's time to bring Nanfeng over for a visit later. Let them meet the young people."
It stands to reason that he should go in person, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea. His identity is not just for Jiumen, and he is not suitable for this kind of work. The occasion arose, so it was decided to let Yin Nanfeng, his successor, come forward to receive him.
As long as the leader of Xieling didn't come in person, there would be absolutely nothing wrong with this arrangement, Adjutant Zhang thought in his heart.
