"I never thought that a letter of invitation from me could actually invite the Fourth Master to come. I really feel that your house is instantly honored, haha!"
When Lu Jianxun saw him coming, he immediately started flattering him.
The Fourth Master burst into laughter, with an attitude of being the master of the house. He sat directly on the sofa next to him, lying on his back and looking at Lu Jianxun, as if he was the master.
Lu Jianxun didn't get angry, he just sat down next to him and continued to praise him.
"Among the nine sects, I have always believed that the Fourth Master is the most capable one. I also believe that the Fourth Master will definitely become the master of the nine sects in the future. This day is just around the corner."
The Fourth Master was a person who cared a lot about his reputation. He felt very happy to be praised like this and continued to laugh.
"You have good vision, I will be the leader of these nine sects sooner or later. It's just a matter of time."
The Fourth Master spoke, and then he continued to lie on his back, becoming more comfortable on the sofa.
"That's right. Lu also believes that this day is just around the corner."
Seeing that he was still praising him unconditionally, the Fourth Master sat up directly, then stared at Lu Jianxun and spoke.
"Lord Lu and I have never had any interactions. I'm afraid he must have something to ask me this time?"
Seeing that he was looking at him seriously, Lu Jianxun coughed lightly and looked over at him with a straightforward gaze.
"Fourth Master is indeed smart. I came to you this time to ask for a favor."
"Say"
The field of vision is simply stated.
Lu Jianxun glanced at the large group of people behind him and spoke thoughtfully.
"Fourth Master, I feel like your men have been staring at me. The murderous intent in their eyes is so strong that I feel a little uncomfortable."
The Fourth Master's eyes grew a little colder, but he still waved his hand and let half of them out of the door, leaving only the six most skilled men behind him, and then spoke.
"Commander Lu, I hope you can forgive me. My Fourth Master has always had his own habits when he goes out."
Lu Jianxun nodded, "Of course I understand the Fourth Master's rules."
As he spoke, he silently looked at the remaining six people again and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Although these people were all martial artists, they were much easier to deal with.
What's more, even if Chenpi fails, there is an elite force hidden in his other room who can eliminate him no matter what.
"What exactly did you come to me for? Can you tell me now?"
The Fourth Master urged.
"It's like this, Fourth Master. You may know that Master Buddha and I have always had some conflicts, but I still have to take care of the safety of Peking. Now I heard that Master Buddha has gone to fight, and the number of people guarding Peking has dropped by half. I was thinking about whether I could borrow a group of troops from you to form an elite force."
Lu Jianxun spoke, and started his flattery mode again.
"I heard that the Fourth Master's subordinates are the most powerful in martial arts. If you can lend me some of them, I will sleep more peacefully."
"Hahahaha!"
The Fourth Master laughed again, "You are a man of good sense, but I need to think again about borrowing people."
Lu Jianxun was not in a hurry and personally poured him a cup of tea.
"Master, I'm not in a hurry. You can take your time to think about it. I came to you for another matter this time. It can also be regarded as a show of respect to you."
Lu Jianxun continued to speak.
"Oh? Honor me?"
After all, Lu Jianxun was an official, and seeing him humble himself like that, the Fourth Master felt honored and continued to ask.
"It's like this, Fourth Master. I recently found a new chef. His skill in cooking crabs is first-rate. He peels live crabs and then pours hot oil and seasonings on them. The taste is so delicious. The chef is outside now, you may as well try it."
"Okay, then I'll listen to you."
Fourth Master. After a brief thought, he realized that the food served would be tested for poison by someone outside the door, so it was impossible for him to be harmed in this regard.
He is not a brainless person, otherwise he would not be able to live peacefully now despite being surrounded by enemies. Being praised by someone without any reservation, he must have his own ideas.
However, the Fourth Master was not afraid at all, and even sneered in his heart, intending to see what the other party was planning.
Lu Jianxun just smiled along and gave orders to his men.
"Go and call the cook."
"Yes."
The subordinate nodded, and then called Chenpi over.
At this time, Zhang Qihai and his friends knew nothing about this matter and continued to move forward.
At this time, they had arrived next to a house.
As soon as Qi Tiezui saw the house, he couldn't help but ask, "This house looks too modern. It doesn't look like something that should appear in an ancient tomb. It looks more like it was artificially made."
As he spoke, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. "Could it be possible that someone had lived in this gloomy place? That's too perverted!"
“This is really artificial.”
Zhang Qihai answered him while leading him forward. At this time, they came to a bed.
"There's a bed?"
Qi Tiezui was even more surprised this time.
He held an oil lamp and looked at the bed, then he couldn't help but take a breath. Lying on the bed was a dried corpse, which looked like it was at least several decades old.
"It's okay. This mummy has not mutated and will not pose any danger to us."
Zhang Qihai spoke bluntly and continued to walk forward.
"Little Buddha, look here."
At this time, Jiu Ye stopped in front of a table. After noticing something unusual, he couldn't help but shouting Zhang Qihai.
Even as calm as he was, the first thing he thought of when he encountered something was to analyze it with Zhang Qihai, and he even wanted him to make the decision.
Hearing this, several people came over.
"The things on this table don't seem to be used by ordinary people."
Zhang Qihai took a quick look and found another stack of information, then picked it up.
Chapter 68 February Red
"These are Japanese characters. They look like some documents left behind by the Japanese. The fact that these documents have survived probably means that they were not destroyed in time during their escape."
Zhang Qihai imagined the scene in his mind and spoke to everyone.
"My goodness, these Japanese set up camp here in the first place, that's incredible!"
When Qi Tiezui thought about the scene of them doing experiments here, the anger in his mind deepened and he couldn't help but speak.
Finally, he turned his gaze towards Zhang Qihai and saw that Little Buddha was staring at a map, so he also leaned his head over.
"What is this, Little Buddha?"
He asked with some doubt.
"This should be the mine map left by the Japanese when they explored the cave. Maybe we can use it."
"map?"
Qi Tiezui was a little shocked, then he looked at it carefully. Seeing many inexplicable marking lines on it, he became even more confused.
"What do these black circles and red crosses mean? Are they their special symbols?"
Qi Tiezui asked.
"This should also be their special marking symbol. You see, we have been to the previous few places. We can also continue to move forward according to the marks on the map, and then we can know what these marks mean through analysis."
Zhang Qihai also couldn't understand what these marks meant, but he thought it was harmless. He had to keep moving forward anyway, and he would be able to find out with a simple analysis along the way.
"This map is indeed similar to the one left by my ancestors. We can follow the instructions on it."
Er Yuehong also leaned forward and looked at the map. He felt that it looked very familiar, so he agreed with Zhang Qihai's idea.
On the other side, Chenpi disguised himself as a cook, pushing a food cart and walking towards the house. However, just as he reached the door, he was stopped by Fourth Master's men.
"Wait a minute."
"What can I do for you two?"
Chenpi looked at the two people blocking the way at the door and asked with some confusion.
"The Fourth Master has his own rules. Any food must be tested with a silver needle before it enters your mouth."
The two men spoke immediately, placed his food cart in front of them, and then took out a silver needle and tested the crab inside.
There was no color change after the silver needle was inserted.
Afterwards, they did not sit idle and conducted a thorough body search on Chen Pi. Chen Pi had no intention of bringing weapons in, so he did not have any hidden weapons on him.
Seeing that everything was normal, the two people at the door breathed a sigh of relief and returned the dining cart to Chenpi.
"Okay, it's okay, you can go in."
The two men waved at Chenpi and then spoke.
"Okay, my Lords."
Chen Pi spoke with a smile, then continued to push the food cart forward and stopped in front of the Fourth Master.
"Master Si, this is the chef I hired first. He is an expert at cooking crabs. You can try it."
Lu Jianxun and Chen Pi exchanged glances, and then Chen Pi opened the cover on the dining cart and brought up the crabs.
"Fourth Master."
Chenpi spoke in a low voice, walking step by step towards the direction of vision.
"Fourth Master, you may try it."
Chen Pi spoke again. At this time, he was already very close to the Fourth Master. The distance between them was only about thirty centimeters.
Just as the Fourth Master was about to pick up his chopsticks to taste the crab, he caught a glimpse of murderous intent in Chenpi's eyes out of the corner of his eye.
"What exactly do you want to do? Who gave you the courage?"
The Fourth Master already had many enemies, so he was particularly sensitive to these things. He immediately noticed that something was wrong with Chen Pi. He stood up and spoke coldly to Chen Pi.
