Chapter 26 The Zodiac
Playhouse.

The world's number one killer organization has a mysterious origin and an unknown leader. It is said that it has lasted for hundreds of years.

There are four levels of killers in the building: Tian, ​​Di, Xuan, and Huang. As long as the money is in place, there is no one in the world that Xiyinglou dare not kill.

This is plain information.

But in fact, various speculations about the current leader of Xiyinglou have always pointed to one person——Yan Shifan, the son of Yan Song, the chief assistant of the cabinet.

There is just no evidence.

Others may just be skeptical, but Cao Jinxing is almost certain that Yan Shifan is the mastermind behind Xiyinglou!

To maintain the operation of such a large organization, there must be enough financial resources; to be able to recruit so many and such strong killers, it also needs enough manpower.

With these two things, there are only a handful of people in the entire Ming Dynasty who can still achieve such grandeur!
Among these people, Yan Shifan is the only one who needs to use this kind of organization to eradicate dissidents!
There are many righteous people in the Jianghu. Under this background, if they do not have their own forces in the Jianghu, they would have died [-] times based on the series of dirty things that Yan Song and his son did to persecute the loyal and corrupt the country!
In terms of emotion and reason, Yan Shifan and Xilinglou are inseparable.

"Why are you staring at me?"

Cao Jinxing frowned and thought: "Why did you focus on me? Could it be... that you want the tortoise to prolong Yan Song's life? Counting his age, he is indeed almost seventy. This should be the most reliable guess... The problem is, let Jiajing Knowing that you dare to steal his things, this is not prolonging life, but courting death! This matter is top secret, who would leak it? It was also revealed to the Yan family... Pei Yangchun? Bai Yunxiu? It doesn't make sense... Wait! It can't be the people from Ten Thousand Snake Cave... Grass!"

Cao Jinxing's expression changed.

"Remember, there is also Yang Qiancheng, the master of Ten Thousand Snake Cave. He is only paralyzed in both legs, and he is not dead..."

Cao Jinxing secretly scolded himself an idiot.

He actually missed it!
But how could he have anything to do with Xiyinglou...

"It's useless to think about it now. When the rain stops, we must send a letter to Pei Yangchun to kill that Yang Qiancheng! You will learn a lot of wisdom, and you will be more straightforward in doing things in the future..."

He looked up at the sky, and the big raindrops hit his face: "It seems that we have to brave the rainy night tonight. Very good, Xilinglou, Yan Shifan... We will settle this account slowly in the future."

He got on his horse, reined in the reins and rushed out of the station.

Heavy rain, violent thunder and lightning.

The bloody horse galloped wildly in the thunder and lightning rain. The rain washed away the hoofprints, and Cao Jinxing disappeared like a ghost.

Three quarters later.

There were three more figures in coir raincoats in the post station, standing motionless around the corpse, with zodiac masks on their faces, namely dragon, sheep and dog.

Xilinglou Xuanzi Killer Group - "Twelve Zodiac Signs".

"Hurry up and hurry up, it's too late. Kill him with one sword, and underestimate him." Long said.

"This time, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to succeed." Sheep sighed.

"I can't help it. The little master is in a hurry. Near Lu'an Mansion, Xuan Ba ​​is already considered a master. I didn't expect that this person is so good." The dog continued.

"How?" Long looked at the dog: "Can you still find his location?"

The dog twitched its nose and shook its head helplessly: "In this weather, after so long, I can't do anything about it. Besides, he is riding a bloody horse. Even if he knows the direction, who can catch up?"

Yang thought for a while: "Then we can only set up an ambush. There are countless routes back to Beijing, but there are only a few routes to Beijing."

"Ah."

Long nodded: "Use the 'Invisible Falcon' to send a message to the capital to inform other people to dispatch. Be sure to get the tortoise before he returns to Zhen Fusi!"

"Yes!"

……

Running for more than a hundred miles in the rain.

Cao Jin walked away from the main road and took a detour to a remote town. There was only one inn in the town, named "Laifu Inn".

"This name gives you a sense of security."

Cao Jinxing withdrew his gaze, knocked on the door to wake up the man, and before he changed his face, he threw out a piece of silver, and the man smiled immediately.

"Hey Ma, I want another upper room."

"Okay, the little one must prepare good fodder!"

Money can turn the devil around.

When the money is in place, the service will naturally increase.

The guy said: "The guest officer walked the night in the rain, and his clothes were soaked. Why don't you boil some hot water for you, take a bath, and then boil a pot of wine to drive away the cold."

"Have a heart."

There are only a few hundred households in this kind of backcountry, and Xilinglou probably doesn't bother to install eyeliner, and the heavy rain washes away the traces, which is far safer than the town.

The clerk was very nimble. He led Cao Jin into the room first, and then helped him prepare hot water, wine and food. The waiter was attentive and thoughtful.

Cao Jinxing gave another piece of silver as a tip. The clerk thanked him again and again, nodded and bowed, and walked out.

Cao Jinxing took a hot bath, and Xuanyuan Shishi in his skin joined in the fun.

It has learned the "Kundalini Concentration" and has the power of Venerable Milarepa. The heavy rain does not touch the body, and the skin and body are very dry.

After eating and drinking, Cao Jinxing changed into a light gown and lay down on the bed: "Finding people in the rain is no less than finding a needle in a haystack. If I were them, I would set up an ambush on the only way to wait for work. Tonight, I should be able to sleep peacefully..."

Cao Jinxing felt relieved, and patted Xuanyuan Shishi's head: "Shishi, keep an eye on it for me, I'm going to sleep first."

"Meow~"

Xuanyuan Shishi was very energetic, he couldn't help the White Dragon Gu before, but now that he has a place to use his power, he nestled under Cao Jinxing's neck and raised his ears to be vigilant.

Sleep till dawn.

Early the next morning, the rain stopped.

Cao Jinxing went downstairs to have breakfast, and called the guy from last night: "Is there anyone in this town who knows how to carve? How is the carver?"

"Have."

The man smiled and said, "The guest officer is asking someone. There is a master named Jia in our town. It is said that he learned from Lu Zigang, a master jade carver. His carvings are so lifelike that they can confuse real ones with fake ones. Many noble people around here come to ask for jade."

Cao Jinxing raised his eyebrows: "It is said?"

The guy smiled sarcastically: "That's what he said..."

"It's okay."

Cao Jinxing said: "It doesn't matter if it is or not, as long as he can carve something that I am satisfied with. If you invite him for me, the benefits will be indispensable to you."

"Yes, little one, let's call!"

Knowing how generous Cao Jinxing was, the guy rushed out in a hurry.

Not long after, a thin middle-aged man was called, carrying a box in his hand, which contained jade materials and carving tools.

Without further ado, Cao Jinxing took out the cold jade box, opened the lid, and pointed to the scarlet tortoise shell inside: "Whatever method you use, carve me a similar one like this."

He took out another ingot of gold: "As long as I am satisfied, these are all yours."

The guy's eyes straightened immediately.

The middle-aged man was also short of breath.

Cao Jinxing added: "Hurry up."

"it is good!"

The middle-aged man's eyes were red, and he was about to roll up his sleeves on the spot, and whoever stopped him was in a hurry.

Two hours later.

Cao Jinxing got the finished product.

It has to be said that there are still two brushes for daring to claim the title of "Jade Master" disciple.

This tortoise shell is carved out of chicken blood stone, with a million details added, it is fiery red at first glance, with clear texture, almost exactly like the real thing.

"very good."

Cao Jinxing was very satisfied: "The gold is yours now."

The middle-aged man still couldn't believe it.

Cao Jinxing had already got up, took the dry rations he had bought, got on his horse, and rode back to Beijing...
