Chapter 558 Xiao Zhenrong finally shows up
The two drank the wine in their glasses.
Chu Xiaomu asked: "So, sending the ten of us out to herd horses was also the general's idea?"
Jinglan said yes and explained, "The general said in the letter that injustice can show whether a person is brave, and suffering can show whether a person is tenacious..."
Chu Xiaomu smiled and said, "It looks like you are going to flatter me again, big brother."
Jinglan also smiled slightly, like a quiet orchid, and said: "This is not what I said, it was my father who told me. He also told me later that Xiaomu brother, you have learned the 'Dragon Spine Sword Style' very well just by looking at a small book. In the future, the general will teach you to open the force, and you will definitely make rapid progress. He also said that you will definitely be able to do it in the future..."
But Chu Xiaomu raised his right index finger to his lips and made a "hush" sound, then stopped talking in a hurry.
Turning his head to look in the direction Chu Xiaomu was looking, he saw a slightly fat man wearing a patched gray cloth shirt walking through the streets. This man walked briskly and steadily, and he was able to easily avoid the bustling crowd in the crowded crowd. It was obvious that he had profound martial arts skills.
The slightly fat man turned around by chance and was spotted by Chu Xiaomu and Jinglan. Who else could it be but Xiao Zhenrong? !
The two were overjoyed.
Chu Xiaomu took out a silver coin and placed it on the table. He took Jinglan out of the tavern and followed him quietly.
Xiao Zhenrong walked along the Cormorant Road for a while, suddenly stopped, looked behind him, and turned into a smaller fork on the left.
Chu Xiaomu and Jinglan didn't want to be discovered by him, so they kept a distance of more than ten feet between them.
However, Chu Xiaomu knew from the sound that Xiao Zhenrong walked into the fork in the road and then walked a little further, then opened a door and went in. He thought that you must be doing something shameful by being so sneaky, so he quickly followed.
Turning into the alley, there is a row of tightly built wooden houses, with doors tightly closed, and some houses have long been abandoned. Compared with the bustling Cormorant Road, this alley seems very quiet, even a little eerie.
Chu Xiaomu walked to a wooden door and pushed it gently, only to find that it had been locked from the inside, so he could not get in. Although he could use the Force to break the door lock, it would be very difficult to avoid attracting the attention of Xiao Zhenrong inside. Moreover, the houses and roads here were complicated, and if Xiao Zhenrong hid in all directions, it would be difficult to find him.
Even if they could capture him by brute force, it would inevitably attract people from the Golden Sword Sect, which might cause more trouble.
Jinglan probably had the same idea and asked quietly, "What should we do?"
Chu Xiaomu walked to the door of the next room and pushed it. The door was not locked and opened easily.
The room was dark and it was a two-story wooden house that had been abandoned for a long time.
There was only a wall between this room and the one Xiao Zhenrong entered. Chu Xiaomu was concentrating and could hear slight noises and breathing coming from the next room. And he could tell that it was Xiao Zhenrong and no one else.
Chu Xiaomu and Jinglan walked gently up to the attic above the wooden house and found a small window covered with white paper on the wall on the side facing Xiao Zhenrong's house.
The two walked to the window and carefully tore off a small corner, which allowed them to see a corner of the main house next door. Xiao Zhenrong happened to appear in their sight.
He was seen holding a few strange objects in his hands. He suddenly walked into the center of their sight, then walked to a covered corner, then made some strange movements, and no one knew what he was busy with.
Xiao Zhenrong walked in and out for a while, and his feet wearing hemp shoes appeared in sight. He was heard mumbling something and saying some nonsense. He walked a few feet outside, revealing most of his body.
Then he stood in front of a square table, stretched out his hands, and took out from somewhere a strange black box that was about a foot long and half a foot wide, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and placed it respectfully on the table.
Xiao Zhenrong bent down and put his left ear to the black box, frowning slightly, as if he was listening to the sound inside. After listening for a while, he put his nose close to the box, sniffed it from front to back, nodded, and looked very happy and satisfied.
After smelling the box, he carefully opened a hole more than two inches wide and put both hands into the dark box.
As soon as Xiao Zhenrong put his hand into the box, his body began to tremble violently, getting faster and faster. After about a cup of tea, the shaking gradually slowed down and finally stopped.
The two looked at Xiao Zhenrong's series of strange actions and couldn't guess what he was doing.
The wooden house was a little dim, and all the furniture was very old. There were gray spider webs in many places such as the corners, window frames, and cabinets. Coupled with Xiao Zhenrong's strange movements, it felt very creepy.
What happened next made Chu Xiaomu and Jinglan even more confused. Xiao Zhenrong pulled out a short knife from his waist, cut his left palm, and walked forward a few steps.
From the perspective of Chu and Zhou, after he took a few steps forward, his body was just hidden by the top of the door frame, and the two could no longer see what he was doing.
Not long after, Xiao Zhenrong came back, turned around, faced outside, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to something.
Chu Xiaomu and Jinglan looked at each other and thought that Xiao Zhenrong was acting sneaky and they didn't know what he was up to.
Jinglan whispered, "Brother Xiaomu, let's capture him first."
Chu Xiaomu nodded, exerted a little force with his hands, and broke the wooden window.
The wooden window broke with a slight crackling sound.
Xiao Zhenrong was also a master who had passed the third level of the Force. When he heard the unusual noise behind him, he immediately became alert and turned around and shouted, "Who is it?!"
Chu Xiaomu jumped out of the window with Jinglan and landed steadily in front of Xiao Zhenrong.
When Xiao Zhenrong saw someone suddenly jump in, he was horrified and suddenly jumped back about a meter, took something from a shelf in front of the square table and held it tightly in his hand.
The two of them looked closely and saw that he was holding the Dragon Back Sword of General Bi Ye!
If Chu Xiaomu wanted to stop him from taking the sword, he could just slap him once or twice. He knew that Xiao Zhenrong could not escape from his palm, so he did not stop him.
Xiao Zhenrong held the Dragon Spine Sword tightly in his hand, as if he had taken a tonic pill, and immediately became calm and shouted, "Who are you and what are you doing in my house?!"
Jinglan took off the mask on her face, revealing her true face, and said, "Uncle Xiao, it's me."
She has always been very close to Xiao Zhenrong. There is no other enemy here except him. Moreover, Chu Xiaomu is very skilled in martial arts and is not afraid of being harmed by him. Therefore, he reveals his true identity and talks to her as a nephew.
