After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to the room, leaving Bai Yuening and the others looking at each other, not knowing what had just happened, only Li Chengqian gently stroked the jade pendant on his waist with a slight understanding.

The old man just now clearly changed his attitude after seeing the jade pendant on his waist, which shows that this old man must know this jade pendant, and knowing the jade pendant will naturally know the origin of the jade pendant, and guessing his identity is not too much of a problem.

But now that the old guy wants to go in by himself, and he wants his two apprentices to go in too, it seems that this is a bit of a bad choice.

Li Chengqian hesitated, but after his arm crossed the fire gun around his waist, he let go of his thoughts, took a deep breath, and walked towards the room.

"Brother......" Xiao Wu looked a little nervous, she knew how powerful Xiao Bai was, and now facing Xiao Bai's master ......, Wu Mei was very worried about Li Chengqian's safety. At the same time, Ye Mei and Yang Yuxin took a step forward and followed behind Li Chengqian, with a great tendency to advance and retreat together.

"You're all staying, it's okay." Li Chengqian turned his head, glanced at Xiao Wu, then at Ye Mei and Yang Yuxin, and said indifferently: "The old gentleman is an extraordinary person, and he definitely doesn't have any other ideas, and recruiting me in should only have some secrets that he doesn't want to be known, so you all stay." ”

"But......" Yang Yuxin was a little eager to say something, but she hadn't forgotten the last time Li Chengqian left alone and almost died.

Li Chengqian's expression was straight, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't say a lot of words, and leave them all." Then he turned his head to look at Bai Yuening: "Xiaobai, greet them well!" ”

"Whoa!" Bai Yuening didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Master's gourd, but she still felt that Master should not harm Li Chengqian, so her expression was very calm: "Xiaoye, Yuxin, let's wait here for a while, Master should just have something he doesn't want us to hear, and it won't be bad for Gongzi." ”

With Bai Yuening in the way, if they didn't want to fight now, Ye Mei and Yang Yuxin could naturally only wait outside, watching Li Chengqian and the twin brothers walk into the room.

"White bat, if Your Highness has any accidents, I will slaughter you, Zhuangzi."

"If Your Highness has any accidents, I, Bai Yue, would rather be killed."

The two female killers confront each other outside the room, but the atmosphere inside the room is very peaceful.

After the old man saw Li Chengqian come in, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his indifference just now

"Sit down! Xiao Zuo, Xiao You, you two stay at the door and don't let anyone in. The old man's first sentence was to Li Chengqian, and the second sentence was to his twin brother.

"Old man, I don't know why I invited Li in?" Li Chengqian turned his head to look at the two brothers standing at the door, turned back to the old man and said.

The old man didn't answer, just looked at Li Chengqian seriously for a long time, and then said, "Where did your jade pendant come from?" ”

"The old gentleman really knows this jade pendant." Li Chengqian showed an unexpected expression on his face, and then said: "This jade pendant was given by my father, I don't know what the old gentleman has to say?" ”

The old man smiled undeniably, and a flash of amazement flashed in his eyes: "I don't dare to be a teacher, but have you ever heard your father talk about Zhuo Wen?" ”

Zhuo Wen? Damn, is this old man in front of him the first assassin of the late Sui Dynasty? Li Chengqian's face changed instantly, and his hand was unconsciously put on his waist. At the beginning, he thought that Bai Yuening's master was just a lake character, and he was famous at most, but he never expected to be famous to this extent.

"Hehe, it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has heard of the old man's name." Seeing Li Chengqian's vigilant movements, the old man first smiled proudly, and then continued: "But does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know that the jade pendant you are wearing was originally presented by the old man to His Royal Highness the King of Qin?" ”

"So what?" Li Chengqian's vigilance was still the same, his eyes scanning back and forth between the old man and the two teenagers.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't need to be nervous, although His Royal Highness has always guarded against the old man, as long as he is in this room, no one can really escape the old man's assassination." The old man raised his hands to show that he had no motive to kill.

"You can try." Li Chengqian, who was nervous to a certain extent, had already taken out the firearm and held one in both hands.

"Okay, okay, the old man said that it won't be bad for you, and it won't be bad for you." The old guy put down his hand, looked at Li Chengqian and said seriously: "If the old man really wants to kill you, you killed you when you were an infant more than ten years ago, why wait until now." ”

Hearing that more than ten years ago, Li Chengqian was also a little dazed, staring at this old guy who called himself Zhuo Wen suspiciously, and slowly put down the gun in his hand after a while: "Mr. Zhuo, I don't know what is the matter with summoning this palace here alone?" ”

Zhuo Wen thought about it for a while, then stopped talking to Li Chengqian about other things, and asked straight to the point: "The old man just wants to know, how many jade pendants do you have?" ”

"Does this have anything to do with Mr. Zhuo?" Li Chengqian didn't answer directly, but asked indifferently.

"When this jade pendant was given to King Qin, it was a total of seven pieces, so the old man is very curious, is there only this one piece in your hand, or a lot of pieces." Zhuo Wen stared at Li Chengqian's eyes, almost word for word, and from his words, he could vaguely hear that there seemed to be some secret in this jade pendant.

"Only one piece." Because he didn't know Zhuo Wen's purpose, it was impossible for Li Chengqian to tell the truth. However, it was also the first time he knew that the jade pendant in his hand turned out to be seven, not six.

"Alas!" The old man Zhuo Wen sighed, looked at Li Chengqian, and asked with some regret, "What about the others?" Do you know where they are? ”

"I don't know!" Anyway, he was already lying, and Li Chengqian simply planned to keep telling the truth.

"It's a pity." Zhuo Wen sighed again, and said in Li Chengqian's inquiring gaze: "At the beginning, the old man thought that this jade pendant was just a better jade quality and better workmanship, so he impulsively dedicated it to His Royal Highness King Qin. But then the old man learned a secret through some channels, a secret about this set of jade pendants, but ...... Alas! ”

A flash of remorse flashed in the old man's eyes, as if he was regretting his original behavior, and this kind of behavior made Li Chengqian very curious.

According to common sense, things dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor are rarely mentioned afterwards, first, it is unnecessary, and secondly, it may cause the emperor's dissatisfaction if it is said, and it must be offered, unless it is to show off the relationship with the imperial family, otherwise it seems a little reluctant to mention it.

But now that this old man has openly said that he regrets it, he is a little reluctant, and he is not afraid of offending the royal family because of this, how can this not make Li Chengqian curious.
