Traveling through the heavens begins with shooting the eagle

Chapter 104 Zhu Cong’s backup plan
Li Chuan raised his eyebrows, glanced at the middle-aged eunuch, and roughly guessed some of his thoughts.

"Please rest assured, father-in-law. I have no interest in the martial arts inheritance left by Eunuch Zhang. This inquiry is for other reasons. I will not compete with you for any martial arts secrets."

"If my father-in-law knows the situation, please feel free to inform me. I would be very grateful."

Hearing what Li Chuan said, the middle-aged eunuch felt relieved and said with a smile: "It's just our villain's heart that has played tricks on the Taoist priest. Please forgive me."

"As for what you asked about, Taoist Master, our family does know something about it."

"Eunuch Zhang has been in the palace since he was a child, and I haven't heard him mention his family for so many years. He probably has no relatives alive or has lost contact, so I don't know if he has any descendants."

"As for the successor's disciples, decades ago, Eunuch Zhang had two young eunuchs by his side. Unfortunately, those two eunuchs were not lucky enough to serve Eunuch Zhang. One fell ill and died, and the other He also died due to a fight in the palace."

"Since then, Eunuch Zhang has not accepted anyone else. It was not until almost half a year ago that he accepted another disciple. However, after Eunuch Zhang died, that person disappeared. It is not known whether he is dead or alive."

Li Chuan's eyes moved slightly. Eunuch Zhang passed away two months ago, and his disciple also disappeared at that time. After that, a master who was good at flying needles appeared in the world. There was probably a slight difference between the two. What connection.

He asked: "My father-in-law, do you know the surname of that disciple, how old he is, where he comes from, and what his appearance is?"

After thinking for a while, the middle-aged eunuch said: "I have some impressions. I have met that man several times by chance. He is probably in his twenties. He is slightly fat and has a handsome face."

"As for his name, I don't know it very well. I only know that his surname is Yang, and Mr. Zhang calls him Kang'er in daily life."

"Yang Kang?!" Li Chuan said in surprise.

The middle-aged eunuch said uncertainly: "It should be so. For eunuchs like us in the palace, their real names are rarely mentioned. They are usually just one word in the name, or the name is given by a noble, and it is called Xiaokang. Zi, Xiao Guizi and the like.”

"Only when you get to the end and have a certain identity and position, will you be called by your surname and father-in-law."

"Although Eunuch Yang has just entered the palace, his status seems to be very extraordinary. He has backers and connections behind him, and he is valued by Eunuch Zhang, so the young eunuchs call him Eunuch Yang."

The middle-aged eunuch was afraid that Li Chuan would not know the rules of the eunuchs in their palace, so he explained them to him carefully, but Li Chuan's focus was not on this at all.

Could it be that the person he was talking about was really Yang Kang?
Li Chuan asked again: "I wonder if you can tell me in detail, what is Yang Kang's appearance?"

The middle-aged eunuch was self-righteous, and while reminiscing, he told Li Chuan what he looked like.

The more Li Chuan listened, the more he felt that the man the middle-aged eunuch was talking about was Yang Kang, who had disappeared for a long time!

Half an hour later, Li Chuan turned around and walked out of the library.

Hong Qigong, who was waiting outside, saw him walking out and asked, "How is it? Did you get any useful information?"

Li Chuan nodded and said, "I did get some news. That Eunuch Zhang had a disciple before his death, and that person was probably Yang Kang, who was also the murderer who caused murders in the world recently!"

Hong Qigong raised his eyebrows: "If things happen so coincidentally, I'm afraid it's not a coincidence." Because Hong Qigong was not familiar with Yang Kang and the information had not been confirmed, he did not pay special attention to it.

Li Chuan said: "That's true. Although Yang Kang's martial arts shouldn't be able to reach that level, if it were him, then it would make sense that those deceased died under Quanzhen martial arts."

"No matter what, since we have investigated the clue, we will continue to investigate along this clue. When all the truth is revealed, it will naturally be clear."

Hong Qigong nodded and said, "Well, it's time for us to leave. After all, this palace is not a place where we can stay for a long time. Let's leave now."

Then, the two of them took advantage of the night to leave the palace and return to the valley.

The next day, Li Chuan said goodbye to Hong Qigong and others, and set off again to Jiaxing to investigate.

The latest news that a Jianghu man had murdered someone came from Jiaxing. Although it was impossible to determine whether the murderer had left Jiaxing, in the absence of other clues, Li Chuan could only use this method. A stupid way to follow the trail.

A few days later, Li Chuan rushed to Jiaxing, and then directly used the address given by Guo Jing to find the residence of the Jiangnan Seven Monsters, preparing to find them for help.

The Jiangnan Seven Monsters were born in Jiaxing, and have a very close relationship with the local martial arts. If they can help, they can contact the local martial arts people in Jiaxing for help, and they can find the news faster.

But after Li Chuan found the place, he could not see the Seven Jiangnan Monsters and the others. When he asked the neighbors living nearby, he got the news that the Seven Jiangnan Monsters had been missing for five or six days.

Li Chuan suddenly felt that something was not good. After all, if the person who caused many murders in the world was Yang Kang, with his hatred for the Jiangnan Seven Monsters, he would probably attack them!

Thinking of this, Li Chuan didn't care about etiquette and jumped directly into the courtyard to explore the situation.

There was no one in the courtyard, and Li Chuan turned into the hall again. He saw a table of unused food and wine on the table in the hall. It looked like it had been there for several days.

It shows that the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan have not been back in the past few days, and they were in a hurry when they left, otherwise they would not have left without eating.

Seeing this situation, Li Chuan's feeling of badness became more serious, and he hurriedly searched the house to see if he could find any clues.

After some searching, Li Chuan found something.

He saw a pool of dried red soup traces on the table, which was a Yang character!

In addition, he also found a fist-sized honeycomb from under an upside-down bowl on the table.

Li Chuan carefully inspected the hive and found that there were still about ten bees alive in it. As soon as they saw the light, the bees flew out of the hive in a hurry. After circling and dancing in the hall for a while, they seemed to have found the right bees. The direction was normal, flying towards the outside of the house in an instant.

When Li Chuan saw this, he couldn't help but wonder if this might be some back-up plan left by the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, and immediately set out to follow them.

Now that there are no clues, we can only try and see. First, follow the whereabouts of the bees and catch up to see. Maybe we can find some new clues with them.
