Chapter 23 Trading
When the eyes got used to the darkness a little bit, Duan Cang's bedroom could be seen clearly.

Duan Cang's appearance, body and style are proper northern men, but his taste is indeed extremely elegant Jiangnan style.His bedroom is decorated according to typical Jiangnan families, with light gauze curtains, incense burner screens, and a few red plums in porcelain white and blue flower pots with narrow necks on the window sills on the desk.

Shen Jinyu groped around the desk for a long time, but found nothing.Qi Yue went to Duan Cang's bed, felt under his pillow and inside the bedding, but found nothing.

Now only the study is left to find.

There was also a window on the other side of the bedroom, facing the small window of the study. Shen Jinyu went out from the window and quickly pushed the window in. Qi Yue was so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe, and followed behind carefully to deal with the aftermath.

Duan Cang met Zhang Yin twice in the study, and Qi Yue guessed that the possibility of the clue being in the study was higher.Shen Jinyu groped from row to row on the bookshelf. Behind the third book in the third row, Shen Jinyu touched a raised part. He pondered for a moment, then pressed it down, with a soft "click", A book slowly protruded from the row of books below, Qi Yue heard the movement and walked over lightly, his eyes collided with Shen Jinyu's.

Qi Yue nodded and motioned Shen Jinyu to take a look. Shen Jinyu knelt down and picked up the book, revealing a wooden box hidden under the book.The box was locked, and he took out the wire he had prepared in advance and put it into the keyhole to fiddle with it a few times, and with a "click", the lock opened.

Qi Yue gave Shen Jinyu a thumbs up. Looking at the wooden box, Shen Jinyu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if something was about to come out, he took a deep breath, and slowly opened the wooden box, but there was nothing inside.

empty?Both Shen Jinyu and Qi Yue were puzzled.Qi Yue suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, she stretched out her hand to pull up Shen Jinyu, who was stunned, and motioned him to leave first, so as not to be deceitful.

Shen Jinyu was not reconciled, and finally had the opportunity to come in, but only found an empty box, and she didn't know when the next time would be.But it seems that there is no other way, the box is empty, Duan Cang has already prepared himself, if he doesn't leave, accidents will happen easily.

Shen Jinyu restored the box to its original position, and returned with Qi Yue the same way.

Qi Yue dared to speak after leaving the courtyard and walking a certain distance into the woods, "That old thief Duan Cang must have been on guard. The contents of the mechanism box must have been transferred, or he took it with him."

Shen Jinyu also guessed that Duan Cang was cautious, and Zhang Yin's words must have made him defensive.What should I do now, where can things go?The things Duan Cang hid so carefully must have something to do with the death of his parents.

If you miss this time, it will not be so easy to sneak in next time.

Shen Jinyu became irritable.

Qi Yue sighed, patted Qi Yue's arm, and comforted him, "It's okay, don't be discouraged, now it has been proved that Duan Cang is a ghost, we will keep an eye on him in the future, and we can always find some clues. "

There will be, there will always be, Shen Jinyu secretly reassured herself not to worry.

Nothing came out tonight, Qi Yue stayed with Shen Jinyu for a while, and then the two went back to their bedrooms to rest.

Shen Jinyu couldn't sleep, his mind was full of thoughts about what was in that wooden box.Lying restlessly in the room, he went out to the old locust tree, intending to practice the knife to calm himself down.

Before finishing a set of saber techniques, there were some abnormal noises in the night, and Shen Jinyu's brain nerves tensed up. Suddenly, footsteps approached behind him. Shen Jinyu swung the saber and turned around to strike.A man dressed in black suddenly appeared and started a fight with Shen Jinyu. Shen Jinyu didn't know who the opponent was and why he didn't dare to reveal his identity easily. He only defended and didn't attack. After fighting the man in black for more than a dozen moves, Shen Jinyu asked road,
"Who are you?"

"You are hiding your true skill," the man in black didn't answer the question, he put the knife behind his hand.The man in black's voice was warm and unhurried, and he sounded like a handsome young man.

"Who are you?" Shen Jinyu asked persistently, ignoring what the man in black said.

"Why worry about who I am, I'm not here to kill you, but to negotiate a deal with you." Heiyi's voice was as soft as water, and he said the most emotionless words in the most gentle tone.

"Deal?" Shen Jinyu asked, "Why do you think I will agree?"

"Why, just because I know the truth about your parents' death," the man in black sheathed his knife and sat down under the old locust tree.

When Shen Jinyu heard this, his mind suddenly rang, "Why do you know this?"

"Not only do I know this, I also know that you have been looking for the truth about your parents' death with a girl named Qi Yue recently, and you have also mastered the sword technique of restraining Duan Cangbu Yuan Dao," the man in black picked up the knife on the ground. A dead branch scratched randomly on the snow.

Shen Jinyu looked at the man in black, pursed his thin lips, and frowned. The man in black knew everything about him, and he had already set his sights on him.

"It's true that I've been eyeing you for a long time, but you don't have to worry, no one else knows about you except me." As if hearing Shen Jinyu's heartfelt voice, the man in black answered Shen Jinyu's question,
"How is it? Do you consider cooperating with me?"

Shen Jinyu: "What do you want to do?"

"I want you to kill Zhang Yin and use it for me."

Shen Jinyu didn't understand.

The man in black continued, "The imperial court wants to take Changlin Villa into the Heaven-breaking Army. I will use the truth about your parents' death in exchange for you to find a way to bring Changlin Villa into the imperial court. Then you kill Zhang Yin for me. The position of the second-rank lieutenant of the Potian Army is yours, how about it? Is it a good deal?"

"Are you from the imperial court?" Shen Jinyu caught a point of information.

"That's right, I'm working on behalf of the emperor, you can rest assured that I won't treat you badly after the matter is completed."

Shen Jinyu: "If I remember correctly, Zhang Yin is a popular figure in the imperial court. He came to Changlin to find the owner this time for the purpose of destroying the Heavenly Army. How can I trust you?"

"Do you think Duan Cang will agree to let the Changlin Villa he finally obtained be included in the imperial court?" The man in black smiled and asked, "It is impossible for Duan Cang to agree to give up the Changlin Villa, and Zhang Yin is the one the emperor wants to get rid of." , your actions tonight will result in nothing. In order to express my sincerity, let me tell you a piece of news. Duan Cang has brought what you want with you. You have no other way to get it except to capture him alive. Think about it carefully, think about it, Three days later, at Zishi, wait for me here."

After speaking, the man in black stood up and went into the depths of the darkness without looking back.After a while, the footsteps disappeared, and the surroundings returned to silence. The man in black disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared before.
