night.

Chu Yunqing was lying on the bed, with one hand behind his head and the other hand holding cold scales.

The so-called dragon scales have a cold aesthetic. No matter the shape or texture, especially the blood color on the edges, they all convey a coldness.

He didn't know why he agreed to Zhou Wangchao's solicitation. Maybe he was just obsessed with it. He and Ai Xiaozhou each held one of the two dragon scales.

It can be seen that although Zhou Wangchao was distressed, he was more happy. He drank a whole jar of wine and should be sleeping in the woodshed now.

But Chu Yunqing couldn't sleep. He was thinking about how to help him.

As Ai Xiaozhou said, killing Ye Chengfeng directly is the simplest way, but it is not easy to do it.

Ye Chengfeng has been living in Qintian Prison for a long time and rarely goes out. Recently, except for the birthday of the Crown Princess, he went to Xianren Residence, and yesterday he went to Jinyiwei Yamen.

But no matter which way he went, he did not go alone. When he went to Xianrenju, he was accompanied by the dignitaries of the capital, and when he went to Jinyiwei Yamen, he was also accompanied by the guards of Qintian Prison.

Yes, it is true that Qintian Prison is the headquarters of the currently recruited alchemists, but the emperor still sent a lot of forbidden troops there for dispatch. These forbidden troops are by no means comparable to ordinary officers and soldiers. For the sake of His Majesty's longevity plan, they all join the army.

The elites carefully selected from the ranks.

It can be said that if you want to kidnap or kill Ye Chengfeng, these Forbidden Army guards will be a trouble. They will always die before Ye Chengfeng.

Furthermore, although Zhou Wangchao was Ye Chengfeng's master and the two had fought against each other several times, he did not know the details of Ye Chengfeng's methods. Because he was defeated so quickly, Ye Chengfeng seemed to be very skillful.

It is conceivable that in addition to the mystical arts that Zhou Wangchao taught before, Ye Chengfeng now communicates with other alchemists in Qintian Prison and has also learned a lot of mystical arts outside of the Qingjing Sect.

As far as is known, Ye Chengfeng also has the deer-shaped jade pendant called the Seven Star Sword, which has a sword energy sealed in it.

As for whether he has any other treasures on him, no one can say for sure.

However, a down-and-out person like Zhou Wangchao could have three or five treasures on his body, so Ye Chengfeng, as the head of the outer sect, should have a few.

This undoubtedly makes it more difficult to kill this person head-on, because we know too little about the means he has.

Killing is like fighting. You have to know yourself and the enemy. After all, even in a street fight, you have to assess the opponent's weaknesses first.

Chu Yunqing sighed, feeling that he had agreed too happily.

He rubbed his face, thought no more, and went to sleep.

…

In the middle of the night, someone knocked on his door.

Chu Yunqing opened his eyes. No need to ask, he knew who it was based on his sense of energy.

I got up and went down to open the door. Sure enough, Zhou Wangchao stood at the door with a slender body and a smile on his face.

"Sober up, isn't it cold?" Chu Yunqing thought he had woken up from the cold, and pointed to the door, "Go to the wing over there, the bedding has been tidied up."

As he spoke, he yawned and was about to close the door.

"Hey, don't worry." Zhou Wangchao stopped him quickly.

Chu Yunqing was a little confused, "Why, do you still want to sleep in my room?"

"No, no, no, where are you thinking?" Zhou Wangchao waved his hand and said, "You can't sleep, can you?"

Chu Yunqing raised his eyebrows, "I slept soundly, but you knocked on the door and ruined my dream."

Zhou Wangchao smiled and said in a low voice: "How about going out with the old Taoist?"

Chu Yunqing said casually: "Where to go?"

"Qin Tian Jian." Zhou Wangchao looked seriously.

Chu Yunqing frowned. He didn't take it seriously at first, but there was no joke on Zhou Wangchao's face. Instead, he was more dignified and serious in his eagerness to try, which made him feel excited in his heart.

"Are you crazy?" he said, "Not to mention that there are still many people outside who are chasing you. Just because of your injuries, will you die if you go to Qintian Prison?"

Zhou Wangchao had many injuries on his body. Although they all looked like skin wounds, if there were too many skin wounds, it would also affect his movements. Moreover, he had been hunted for several days, and his body was exhausted and he had not yet recovered.

"It doesn't matter." Zhou Wangchao shook his head and said: "Many people will go home to celebrate the New Year tonight, as will the guards of the Forbidden Army and the alchemists from the Qintian Prison. Ye Chengfeng has no relatives or friends and is homeless. He will definitely go home tonight.

In Qintian Prison, wait until dawn to return to the sect, this is our chance."

Chu Yunqing understood somewhat, looked at him and said, "Do you want to take action when he leaves Qintian Prison and returns to the sect?"

Zhou Wangchao smiled, but his eyes were cold, "He is a man who is good at sneaking around. He will definitely go back to the sect to pay his respects during the holidays, and he will inevitably bring gifts. However, during the New Year, the Qintian Prison's guards are weak, so he will not bring anything back to the sect.

As for me, he has already sent people to hunt him down, and he would not have thought that we would intercept and kill him."

Chu Yunqing asked: "Are you so confident that you can kill him?"

"Hey, isn't it because of you?" Zhou Wangchao scratched his head and smiled.

Chu Yunqing was immediately speechless, "How dare you think that with my meager martial arts skills, how can I compare with the masters of your Qingjing Sect?"

As he spoke, he waved his hands repeatedly, "Sleep, sleep."

"Hey, don't." Zhou Wangchao quickly pulled him away, "With those dragon scales here, Ye Chengfeng will be half dead."

Chu Yunqing turned around, "Then why did you almost let him kill you?"

Zhou Wangchao choked, and then said: "I am also an alchemist. He knows me very well, and even my methods can't do anything about it."

"Have you not made any progress over the years?" Chu Yunqing asked.

Zhou Wangchao sighed, "I'm ashamed."

Chu Yunqing curled his lips and said, "Thank you for saying before that you have amazing talents and you are still a genius."

"Geniuses are also afraid of comparison." Zhou Wangchao shook his head and said, "Compared to Ye Chengfeng, the old Taoist is really not good."

"You can't do it, so you think I can do it?" Chu Yunqing asked.

"Brother Chu, don't be humble. The fact that you came out of Thunder Tribulation Valley shows that you are no ordinary martial arts practitioner." Zhou Wangchao said seriously: "With the help of Dragon Scale, I believe in you. Ye Chengfeng is definitely not you.

opponent."

Chu Yunqing was silent for a moment and asked: "How much do you know about the various forces in the capital?"

Zhou Wangchao was a little confused, "Why do you ask about this? Is it related to Ye Chengfeng?"

As he spoke, he also became a little solemn, "Indeed, Ye Chengfeng is the head of the outer sect. He has dealt with all kinds of religions in the capital over the years. If he dies, it will really be no small matter.

In this way, when our revenge is avenged, we can leave as soon as possible. The world is huge, where can we not be free and have to be confined to the capital?"

"No, that's not what I meant." Chu Yunqing interrupted quickly when he saw Zhou Wangchao, who suddenly got into a conversation and kept talking more and more.

He said: "I just want to ask if you know any unknown forces or mysterious people in the capital, such as those who can't even find the Qingjing Sect."

Zhou Wangchao rolled his eyes, "Then do you think that if you can't even check the Qingjing Sect, an experienced person will know?"

Chu Yunqing also felt that he had overthought it, but he had expected it too early, so it was not too disappointing.

But Zhou Wangchao's next words made his heart freeze.

"But if it does, I don't know if this counts." Zhou Wangchao said to himself.

"What?" Chu Yunqing said in a deep voice.

Zhou Wangchao stopped talking and just smiled obscenely.

Chu Yunqing frowned and said, "This matter may be very important to me."

Zhou Wangchao thought about it for a while and stopped talking, "It was many years ago. At that time, when the old Taoist was feeling discouraged, someone came to me."

When he said this, there was also surprise and confusion in his eyes. It was obvious that even after recalling it, he was still shocked and puzzled many years later.

"You know, the old Taoist had been living in the sect at that time. It was the Qingjing Sect. Not to mention going up the mountain, there were very few people who knew where the mountain gate was. But that person appeared in front of me, and it was still broad daylight.

"

Zhou Wangchao's tone remained solemn, "The old Taoist has definitely never seen this person before, and this person has never been to the sect, and it is impossible for the disciples on duty at the sect to let him in. He came here on his own."

"How are you sure?" Chu Yunqing asked.

Zhou Wangchao glanced at him and said: "Although the veteran is not very good at it, he has practiced this pair of tricks. Some people can see through them at a glance."

Chu Yunqing nodded, "So, do you know who he is?"

"No." Zhou Wangchao said.

Chu Yunqing managed to hold back from punching him. Do you think you saw through this?

"But his temperament and attire indicate that he is not a good person at first glance. He is very weird." Zhou Wangchao said: "If such a person goes up the mountain, no one will let him in."

"What kind of person is he?" Chu Yunqing asked.

"Grey robe, blue chin, man." Zhou Wangchao said.

Chu Yunqing was stunned, "That's all?"

Zhou Wangchao nodded and said seriously: "That's all I can think of."

Chu Yunqing frowned, a little confused.

"I can't recall his appearance at all, and even his features are blurry." Zhou Wangchao said: "In fact, after he left, every time I think about this person, everything about him becomes blurry. It was also the same with you just now.

Q, after so many years, I can remember something."

"It's possible that you can't remember a person's appearance after you've seen him, but to say that everything is blurry, what kind of method is this?" Chu Yunqing asked.
