Zhou Qian looked at Ren Han, and the two looked at each other, with a look of hesitation in their eyes. If it was just Ling Chen, they would not be afraid, but now there was a master of the Heavenly List supporting Ling Chen, and it was not something they could deal with.

"We are just Hong Wei's thugs, as far as we know, Hong Wei has a group of very powerful people hidden behind him, but we have never seen them, they are specifically responsible for helping Hong Wei solve competitors. The people who attacked your elders last night are most likely them. After much hesitation, Zhou Qian finally made a decision.

"You've been messing around with Hong Wei for so long, don't you know anything about them?"

"We really don't know. Ren Han said: "Hong Wei is a very cautious person and will not easily expose his true strength. In his eyes, we are only responsible for his safety on the surface. In fact, he doesn't really entrust his safety to us. In secret, there is also a group of people who protect him, and that is what he really relies on. ”

Ling Chen nodded, Ren Han and Zhou Qian didn't seem to be lying, so there was some credibility in what they said. "Okay, I'll trust you for now. However, don't blame me for not reminding you, I will pull out the nail of Hong Wei sooner or later, and if you still want to serve him, don't blame me for being merciless when the time comes. After speaking, Ling Chen took Ji Gang with him, turned around and walked out of the Chengde Martial Arts Hall.

"Old Zhou, are you okay?" After Ling Chen left, Ren Han looked at the pale Zhou Qian and asked.

"It's fine. Zhou Qian exhaled slowly, "Brother Ren, what do you say we should do now......?"

"Do you think Hong Wei has the ability to deal with a Heavenly Rank master?" Ren Han asked rhetorically.

Hearing this, Zhou Qian couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After a while, Zhou Qian nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, today's incident is as if nothing happened, and no one is allowed to reveal half a word." ”

Coming out of the Chengde Martial Arts Hall, Ling Chen took Ji Gang and rushed directly to the rental house by car.

"Miss Zhu, you must be careful when you act, Hong Wei has a lot of hidden masters around him to protect him. Ling Chen admonished.

Zhu Qing's team was ready and would start tonight, and Ling Chen told her the information she had received from Zhou Qian, so that she could be on guard to avoid accidents.

However, Zhu Qing didn't care about Ling Chen's reminder, "We are professional assassins, not the kind of killers that can be compared." "Zhu Qing is very confident in her abilities.

Night.

At around twelve o'clock in the evening, Zhu Qing left the rental house alone. Ling Chen, Tang Guolun and the others did not follow, but stayed in the rental house and waited for the result.

Since Zhu Qing is confident, then leave it to her to handle it, Ling Chen doesn't want to get involved, so as not to cause trouble to Zhu Qing and their actions.

Waiting is undoubtedly a painful thing. Watching the clock on the wall slowly turning, Ling Chen couldn't help but feel a little worried.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that there was finally a knock at the door. Ling Chen got up suddenly, walked quickly to the door, and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, a thick smell of blood immediately hit my face. Under the bright light, I saw that Zhu Qing's body was full of dark red bloodstains, because she was wearing black clothes, so the bloodstains were not obvious.

Seeing Zhu Qing's panting appearance, Ling Chen was slightly startled, and hurriedly asked, "Miss Zhu, are you injured?"

"I didn't, it was someone else's blood. With that, Zhu Qingjing walked to the sofa and sat down, took a glass of water and drank it in a big gulp.

Although Ling Chen was anxious to know the result, he still patiently let Zhu Qing take a breath and rest.

After a while, Zhu Qing's breathing gradually became calmer, she looked up at the people in the room, and said, "Sorry, the mission was not successful. ”

Ling Chen was not surprised by this result, and Zhu Qing's appearance when he came back had already explained a lot.

"What about your casualties?" Ling Chen asked.

Hearing this, Zhu Qing's gaze at Ling Chen had a hint of warmth. As Assassins, their purpose was to serve their employers. Many employers only care about the outcome and never care about their casualties. Therefore, Ling Chen's words made Zhu Qing feel a trace of warmth.

"We wounded three people, but we killed six of them. ”

"Isn't it the group of masters hiding in the shadows?"

Zhu Qing nodded and said, "I need to report this matter to the family and ask them to send people over as soon as possible." ”

"What's the matter? You don't have enough people to bring in?"

"It's not. Speaking of this, Zhu Qing looked a little hesitant, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped.

Noticing Zhu Qing's facial expression, Ling Chen spoke: "Miss Zhu, I am not only your employer, but also your friend. Besides, you're serving me, is there anything you can't say?"

Zhu Qing pondered for a while, and this time said, "I know the identity and origin of that group of people. ”

"You know?" Ling Chen was taken aback.

"They are the sworn enemies of our Zhu family. Speaking of which, they and the Zhu family were originally a family, but because of disagreements, they split up. The ancestor of the Zhu family is a secret agent in the Ouchi, who specializes in serving the royal family and secretly eradicating traitors. Later, although the imperial court was overthrown, the Zhu family began to serve those who were powerful and powerful. However, because the Zhu family is very strict with the selection of employers, many people in the Zhu family have nothing to do. If this continues, the Zhu family will fall sooner or later. ”

At that time, there were many opposing voices within the Zhu family, feeling that as long as there were interests, anything could be done. Therefore, the Zhu family is partly for the sake of two factions. The two factions fought openly and secretly for more than a decade, and finally ended with the departure of one of the factions. After the Zhu family of that faction broke away from the Zhu family, they set up their own doors, got rid of the title of assassins, and regarded themselves as killers. As long as you give enough money, you are willing to do any task. ”

Because of this, their development speed was very fast, and they soon suppressed the Zhu family. Later, due to their erratic whereabouts and low-key behavior, our Zhu family never met them again, and we didn't know where they went. However, people within our Zhu family heard that they seem to have established a killer organization called the Heavenly Eagle Pavilion, which specializes in cultivating elite killers. ”

"Heavenly Eagle Pavilion?" Hearing these three words, Ling Chen's eyes lit up, interrupted Zhu Qing's words, and asked, "Did you just say Heavenly Eagle Pavilion?"

Zhu Qing nodded and said, "That's right, it's the Heavenly Eagle Pavilion." Why, haven't you heard of it too?"

"Some elders have mentioned it to me. Ling Chen said casually. Some time ago, Tong Zhentian mentioned the Eagle Pavilion to him. The Heavenly Eagle Pavilion is a secret organization that secretly serves the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, specializing in solving some inconvenient things for the Heavenly Machine Pavilion.

These days, Ling Chen has been guarding against the appearance of the Heavenly Eagle Pavilion, but he didn't expect the Heavenly Eagle Pavilion to have such a relationship with the Zhu family.
