Tang Zhixing's steps gradually became staggering, and suddenly, his feet gave way and he fell to the ground.
His eyes gradually became cloudy, and he could only watch helplessly as the men in black approached.
Just when he thought he was dead, a bloody thick fog suddenly enveloped him, and the memory in front of him was suspended.
When the thick fog dissipated, Tang Zhixing also disappeared.
The men in black watched Tang Zhixing disappear. They were shocked and searched everywhere.
Naturally, they failed to find Tang Zhixing in the end, so they had no choice but to go back to recover.
Ambassador's Inn.
Tang Yinchen and Yang Huanzhi came to a quiet and elegant place. After being informed, they entered only after receiving permission.
In the side room, Shang Yuchen sat in front of the desk, flipping through a thick account book in his hand.
"I see you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince." The two of them bowed their hands and saluted.
Shangyu Chen put down his account book and asked, "Are you here for Zhen'er?"
"No! Your Highness, we have received a secret letter!"
Tang Yinchen took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it to Shangyichen.
Shang Yuchen opened the envelope and took out the rice paper inside.
'Tang Zhixing and Pei Shaojun know Su Zhen's secret. Pei Shaojun's whereabouts are unknown since he left the prison of the Ministry of Justice last night. Tang Yinchen was hunted down in the market and disappeared out of thin air. Please find their whereabouts as soon as possible, Your Highness the Prince.'
The handwriting is beautiful and should be written by a woman.
"Where did this letter come from?"
"When I woke up this morning, I found it sitting on my desk. I asked the guards outside the door, and they said that no one came in or out of my room last night, and they found nothing unusual."
Shang Yuchen's hand holding the rice paper gradually tightened, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Yin Yuli knows Zhen'er's identity, so what is the secret mentioned in this letter?"
"No matter what the secret is, we will find out when we find Yang Huanzhi and Tang Zhixing."
"Then you should find the person as soon as possible, and be sure to hide it to avoid being discovered by Yin Yuli."
"Yes! Don't worry, Your Highness!"
The two of them followed the order and exited Shangyu Chen's room.
He picked up the secret letter again and looked at it carefully, but found no clues.
Just as he put the letter back into the envelope, he suddenly smelled a familiar and special aroma.
In an instant, his body froze, and the hand holding the letter was trembling.
I smelled it again, and the familiar aroma was still there on the paper.
The guard outside the door pushed in and said, "Your Highness, what are your orders?"
The words had reached his throat, but Shang Yuchen choked again. He lowered his head and thought for a long time. He finally waved his hand: "Nothing, please leave."
"yes!"
When the guard went out, he never forgot to close the door.
Shang Yuchen's fingertips rubbed the words on the paper, and a tear slipped quietly.
I don't know how long it took, but when he regained consciousness, it was already noon.
After not moving for a long time, my body felt a little numb, I moved my arms, neatly folded the secret letter, put it in the envelope, and stuffed it into the lapel of my clothes close to my heart.
For seven consecutive days, Tang Yinchen secretly searched the entire Phoenix City, but could not find any trace of Pei Shaojun and Tang Zhixing. It seemed that there was an invisible force stopping them.
Everyone knows that Zhu Gusheng made his fortune through gambling, but this is not the case.
There are several gambling houses under Zhu's Trading Company, but they are in the intelligence business.
As long as you give enough money, you can buy any information.
After Tang Yinchen dressed up in disguise, he successfully entered Zhu's Gambling House.
The gambling house was very deserted, there were not many customers, and the thugs were dozing at the foot of the wall.
Tang Yinchen lowered the brim of his hat, cleared his throat, and said, "Where is the boss?"
"Hey, do you want to come here to gamble? Sorry, we don't do business during the day, why don't you come back at night?" A man came out and said.
"If you don't want to gamble, come and eat."
The man's smile paused: "If you want to eat, you have to go to the restaurant next door. Why do you come to our gambling house?"
"I want to eat the most expensive food."
Tang Yinchen answered the code, the man waved his hand, and someone immediately closed the door.
"Sir, please come with me."
The man raised his hand to signal Tang Yinchen to leave with him, and Tang Yinchen nodded.
The two passed through the side door and came to the backyard.
The man pointed to one of the rooms and said, "Sir, my master is inside. He has been waiting for you for a long time."
"I know, thanks for showing me the way."
"Young Master, you're welcome."
The man bowed his hands, said goodbye and left.
Tang Yinchen came to the door and just knocked on the door, but the door creaked open by itself.
He pushed the door open in confusion and saw that the room was empty. An old man in ragged clothes was sitting cross-legged on the floor. There was a teapot and two teacups in front of him. The teacups were filled with tea.
"Are you Mr. Zhu?"
Tang Yinchen had never met Zhu Gusheng, so he could only ask tentatively.
"Mr. Tang, come in. I have been waiting for you for a long time as ordered by my master."
After Tang Yinchen heard this, he closed the door and sat opposite Zhu Gusheng.
'Rumble'
The room shook violently, and Tang Yinchen jumped up from the ground as if his butt was on fire. He opened the fan in his hand with a 'crash', and the dual spiritual power of ice and fire swept across the entire room in an instant.
"Ho ho ho ho"
Zhu Gusheng let out a weird laugh. Tang Yinchen looked at him warily, moved toward the door, and opened the door as fast as the wind.
However, outside the door is no longer the backyard of the gambling house, but a deep corridor that extends in all directions, and every entrance is equally dark, without any light.
Gusts of cold wind blew out, and Tang Yinchen retracted his foot that was about to step out, closed the door again, and sat back down opposite Zhu Gusheng.
"Old sir, since you know my identity, I have to speak frankly. Zhen'er once told our Highness that if you encounter difficulties in Xiliang, you can go to Zhu's Gambling House to look for Zhu Gusheng. I'm here today. , to ask the old gentleman about the whereabouts of the two people."
Zhu Gusheng shook his head: "Mr. Tang, I know who you are looking for. But I won't hide it from you. My people have been searching for seven days, but they have not found the whereabouts of Tang Zhixing and Pei Shaojun."
"My Highness has said that the Zhu family is not just a family. It is so powerful that it covers the entire Hexuan Continent! You have so many eyes and ears, how could you not find out their whereabouts?!"
Tang Yinchen didn't believe Zhu Gusheng's words. As expected, the latter smiled while stroking his beard.
"It's true that we haven't found anything! But if there are no clues, that's the best clue."
"What do you mean?"
"They are not dead, they are still in the human world. It's just that they were sealed with a barrier."
"Why are you so sure?"
Zhu Gusheng smiled sadly: "Because, I know the black and white and the impermanence of the underworld."
