The young couple looked at each other, smiled, and went upstairs.
After going up, they were all stunned for a moment.
The upstairs was not the small attic as imagined, but a rather large hall. Many strong men in the hall were holding knives and swords, staring at the stairs with a fierce look in their eyes.
The Taoist who had just poked his head out shrank back and stood beside another Taoist sitting at the main seat, looking like a disciple.
The whole environment looked like a gang stronghold, and they happened to be having a meeting at that time, so the young couple walked straight into the tiger's den at this time.
Xia Chichi couldn't help but blink his eyes in amusement. This was really a great luck. He just guessed that these grocery stores with a lot of things belonged to the Yukun Gang, but he picked one and walked into the headquarters of the Yukun Gang. It happened to be the time when they were having a meeting. There was no need to bother looking for Tian Lingzi. The Taoist on the main seat was most likely the one.
Why didn’t I realize that I had such bad luck before? Is it because I stay with our Lao Zhao? This guy has always had extraordinary luck.
The young couple were also very skilled and courageous. They clasped their fists and performed a martial arts etiquette without changing their expressions: "Sorry to bother you all. It seems that we came at the wrong time..."
The Taoist priest on the main seat shook his head and said, "If you two are just here to buy gourds, then there is no such thing as a good time or a bad time. There is no time to stop doing business. If you have something to ask our Yukun Gang, just tell us directly."
Xia Chichi said: "Are you Taoist Priest Tian Lingzi?"
"That's right." Tian Lingzi said, "I'm open for business, so there's nothing to hide."
Xia Chichi smiled and said, "It seems that you are more interesting than those who are secretive..."
Tian Lingzi asked, "For example, Your Excellency?"
Xia Chichi: “…”
Can't you just say something like poisonous spider? Can you chat
But then again, it was normal for others to be wary of them, so Zhao Changhe quickly took over the conversation to save face for his wife: "We are here to buy gourds. From what the Taoist priest said just now, does your gang have the gourds we need?"
"It is light and indestructible, and it won't be damaged by swords or knives, nor will it rust easily and look old. We do have such a gourd, which we obtained from a secret place we stole. It is an ancient object." Tian Lingzi said, "Although its practical value is average, all ancient objects are valuable. What price can you offer?"
"You might as well name a price and see if we can afford it."
Tian Lingzi laughed and said, "Originally, we could negotiate the price, but since you mentioned catching spiders, the price has changed. So, little girl, don't casually reveal the bottom price in the future."
Xia Chichi also laughed. In this city where everyone is deceiving each other and no one tells the truth, the Taoist's behavior is really a bit refreshing. Although it may just be a personal setting, it makes people feel a lot more comfortable.
She said that Spider was not revealing the truth to buy a gourd, but for her husband. Her husband wanted to find a thief, so how could he meet her without dropping a bomb? He couldn't keep hinting at her for five or six days...
Xia Chichi said slowly: "I didn't reveal any bottom price, I just sent a message directly to the Taoist priest. But there are too many people here, so I don't want to say it."
Tian Lingzi said calmly: "We must be on guard against others. The two of you have not yet reached the level of trust that would allow me to meet you in private."
Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "I am friends with someone from your gang. Is this enough?"
Tian Lingzi asked curiously, "Who?"
"His last name is Ji." Zhao Changhe said, "If he is here, it would be fine for him to meet me in private."
Tian Lingzi was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "So that's how it is. You are here for Dao Men... But whether you are really Ji Chengkong's friend or his enemy, you have come to the wrong place. It's useless to ask me. We are just cooperating with Dao Men as one of their channels for selling stolen goods. We are not from Dao Men and don't know the whereabouts of their core disciples."
Zhao Changhe was not too surprised and said with a smile: "But at least you can communicate with the Daomen."
"That's right. Is there anything you need me to convey to you?"
"Yes... Please inform me that Zhao Changhe is visiting the Thief Saint."
There was a sudden silence in the hall, and then everyone was moved and whispers arose.
Zhao Changhe, the number one hidden dragon!
I had seen this guy with a knife and scar on his back, looking very majestic and powerful, and he looked like the legendary Zhao Changhe, but there were more and more imitators these days, so it was hard to be sure. It turned out to be true, and he dared to reveal his real name at will! No one suspected that it was a fake, because he was going to meet the Thief Saint, and if the Thief Saint found out that he was a fake, he would die an ugly death, so it could only be the real one.
A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. If an ordinary person casually reveals his identity, he will only be considered an idiot. But if this person is Zhao Changhe, people's reaction will be: What a fearless hero.
This guy's fame is not just talk. Within a year, a layman who has never learned martial arts has become the No. 1 potential dragon. I don't know if there will be anyone like him in the future, but it is definitely unprecedented. What's more, the No. 1 potential dragon is actually a quasi-human list. Unless someone dies unexpectedly, there has never been a precedent in the history of the No. 1 potential dragon that cannot be on the human list. When Yue Hongling was No. 2, he was regarded as a famous master wherever he went. Now Zhao Changhe is the same, and his reputation will only be higher.
Because he almost single-handedly changed the pattern of the grassland, penetrated deep into the enemy's rear, traveled thousands of miles, and won hundreds of battles. Even now, the Hu people are divided between north and south and are fighting among themselves, but he at least maintained peace in the Central Plains for a few years.
This kind of soul-stirring feat is really on a different dimension compared to the ordinary battles in the martial arts world. Even the villains had to give a thumbs up. On that day, there were countless people in Kunlun drinking and sighing, saying, "I have been away from the world for a long time, and I didn't expect such a person to appear in the world."
Even the originally earthy name of Bloodthirsty Shura became more sinister, and the real person made the nickname popular.
God knows what other ideas this guy has after his identity is exposed - he has a connection with the Thieves Sect, so he is not afraid of revealing his identity. And since you all think that Zhao Changhe is so heroic, no one would have thought that I would pretend to be Wang Daozhong... By then, Zhao Changhe would disappear without a trace and no one would be able to find him.
However, the prerequisite is to get the storage ring and hide the dragon bird in it, otherwise it will be too easy to be exposed when someone confronts it.
Tian Lingzi was extremely cautious: "So it was Young Master Zhao who was here... Then could this girl be the Sunset Sword?"
Xia Chichi's face fell in an instant, and she looked unfriendly: "I don't wear red. Every day I act like I'm crazy about getting married. I look so unfashionable."
Zhao Changhe: “…”
"..." Xia Chichi never thought that Zhuque, who was watching from far away, was hit by an arrow for no reason, like a sieve, and his teeth were ground to pieces.
Tian Lingzi laughed and said, "I was wrong. Um... You guys retreat. Since it's Young Master Zhao in person, then you're not here to assassinate me."
The subordinates actually all agreed and stood up, saluted and left. Many of them kept looking at Zhao Changhe as they passed by, but no one looked at the beautiful Xia Chichi, as if they were a group of star-chasers.
Regardless of good or evil, it can be seen that warriors admire heroes.
In fact, Zhao Changhe felt that many of his achievements were assassinations... uh...
Tian Lingzi then told his disciple to inform Dao Men, then he smiled and said, "Young Master Zhao wants to find Dao Men, I have already asked my humble disciple to report the news. Now let's talk about our own business. What does the young lady mean by spider? Can you tell me now?"
Xia Chichi asked: "Do you have a grudge against the poisonous spider?"
Tian Lingzi smiled and said, "We have had conflicts with the Money Gang recently. We just had a meeting to discuss the attitudes of other nearby gangs. The Poison Spider is one of the forces we are focusing on, and we don't know their inclinations, so when the girl mentioned these two words, the meeting was cancelled."
"Then the news I want to tell you is that she wants to kill you." Xia Chichi smiled and said, "Can I change the gourd to tell you this news?"
Tian Lingzi shook his head: "Just considering the gourd, there is nothing wrong with giving it to you two. It is not worth bargaining. But this news is not a joke. What can you prove it, young lady?"
I thought this evil girl would say "Believe it if you want, forget it if you don't", but Xia Chichi actually got serious: "How did you conflict with the Money Gang?"
Tian Lingzi said, "Tomorrow at noon, we will have a banquet with the Money Gang to negotiate. As we all know, there is no good banquet, so we must consider all aspects."
Xia Chichi smiled and said, "That's easy. If I help you block the poisonous spider tomorrow, you give me the gourd. If we can cooperate to kill her, you tell me the secret place where the gourd is."
Tian Lingzi was really surprised: "A mere gourd is really worthless. I really don't understand why the girl is so obsessed with it."
"Is it hard to understand?" Xia Chichi smiled slightly: "There are some people in the martial arts world. If you invite them to have a drink, they might help you kill someone. Everyone has different values in their hearts. It's nothing more than that. The gourd is just a treasure for you to enjoy, but for me, it is a unique souvenir."
Zhao Changhe didn't say anything. He thought Chi Chi was making a big fuss, but he thought that she had already made enemies with the poisonous spider, and it would be a good idea to cooperate with Tian Lingzi to eradicate the root of the problem, so he didn't say anything. Or maybe Chi Chi was more concerned about the secret realm behind the gourd
But I didn't expect to get such an answer.
Turning his head to look at Chi Chi's profile, that smile might seem evil in the eyes of others, but in Zhao Changhe's eyes it was as beautiful as Kunlun jade, so pure.
