Chapter 20 The Art of Disguise, the Legacy of Cao Cao
"My benefactor, I know the art of disguise, which is why I was able to see your changes," Zhu Yan replied.

Su Chen fell silent upon hearing this. He thought his disguise was quite sophisticated, but he hadn't expected that Zhu Yan would still discover it.

"Since you found this money for me, I'll give you a chance. If you want me to avenge you, what price are you willing to pay?"

After glancing at Zhu Yan, Su Chen pondered for a moment.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yan couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face.

He had said so much to Su Chen just to hear those words, and now his wish had finally come true.

But his initial elation quickly subsided. He took out the last of his money and chuckled dryly:

"Well, my benefactor, I only have less than ten taels left. Can I give you other rewards?"

"Tell me."

Zhu Yan quickly took out two secret manuals and said, "I have two secret manuals here. One is a medical classic accumulated by my Zhu family over generations, and the other is a manual on disguise. If my benefactor agrees, I am willing to give these two manuals to my benefactor as a reward."

Disguise?
Su Chen's mind raced. He had just been thinking about how to get the disguise technique from Zhu Yan, but unexpectedly, the other party offered to give it to him.

After a moment of contemplation, he asked, "How strong is this Zhao Kuo?"

"He should be a bit stronger than Liu Tong. I saw the two of them fight once, and Liu Tong was defeated in the end, but Zhao Kuo was also injured. However, it has been almost a year since that fight. Although I have observed Zhao Kuo during that time, I have not seen him make a move."

At this point, Zhu Yan scratched his head.

Of the three, he hated Lin Hai and Liu Tong the most, and compared to Zhao Kuo, they were not only easier to observe, but also easier to take revenge on.

“I can give it a try. If he is really as you say, I will make a move. However, once I find that I am no match for him, I will give up, and…”

"And what?"

"And you have to pay half the fee upfront and give me the disguise technique."

After speaking, Su Chen remained silent, waiting for Zhu Yan's reply.

Zhu Yan stood there, his expression shifting between light and dark, before finally nodding and saying, "Alright, everything will be as my benefactor says."

He taught Su Chen the art of disguise, and then explained the key points of disguise to Su Chen one by one, without holding back his knowledge at all.

Su Chen listened quietly and made the memories to himself.

The disguise technique described by Zhu Yan was more complex than he had imagined.

About half an hour later, Zhu Yan's throat started to itch as he spoke, and he finally stopped.

During this time, he also shared the information he had gathered about Zhao Kuo with Su Chen.

The information is limited, but very useful.

"Okay, I've noted these down."

Su Chen picked up the silver from the box, put it in his pocket, and then said to Zhu Yan.

"My benefactor, how can I find you?" Zhu Yan asked.

"Just wait at Lin Family Fort. I will show up when it's over."

After saying that, Su Chen turned and left.

Zhu Yan watched Su Chen's departing figure, clenched his fist, and looked on with a hint of hope.

"I hope my benefactor can really kill that bastard Zhao Kuo for me!"

……

three days later.

Juxiang Tower.

A slightly burly figure sat by the window.

A steel knife was wrapped around his waist, and the long sleeve from his severed arm hung down on the chair, revealing his unique appearance.

There were a few side dishes on the table, and a pot of tea beside them. He ate the dishes and drank the tea at different times.

Although he only had one hand, this person ate with an air of elegance, showing no sign of panic.

This person was none other than Su Chen.

Thanks to Zhu Yan's instruction and his own insights over the past three days, Su Chen's understanding of disguise techniques has deepened considerably.

If it weren't for the fact that disguise techniques don't fall under the category of martial arts, Su Chen could have mastered them much faster with the help of the panel.

However, compared to before, his disguise skills have improved significantly. Before, one could still discern the outline of a normal person, but now, unless an ordinary person looks closely, they really can't tell that Su Chen has changed.

They would only assume that Su Chen really only has one arm.

While eating, Su Chen observed the area below, based on the information he had received from Zhu Yan.

Every morning around ten o'clock, Zhao Kuo would go hunting at the teahouse opposite Juxianlou.

There are almost no exceptions.

"coming!"

Suddenly, Su Chen caught a glimpse of that familiar figure, who was walking towards the teahouse under the protection of two members of the White Jade Gang.

The White Jade Gang is one of the top gangs in White Stone City, and Zhao Kuo, as the leader of the White Jade Gang, holds a high position and great power.

There were two guards, which was not unusual.

Moreover, this area is under Zhao Kuo's jurisdiction, so there is no need to bring too many guards.

Soon, Zhao Kuo went up to the teahouse and, as usual, went straight to the window.

This spot was specially reserved for Zhao Kuo by the teahouse.

Every time Zhao Kuo came, tea and some food were laid out on the table.

Zhao Kuo sat by the window, enjoying the fragrance of tea while overlooking the entire street.

A pair of eyes darted about with a purpose and aggression, scanning the passersby.

Seeing this, Su Chen, who was sitting diagonally opposite, couldn't help but shake his head.

This Zhao Kuo is indeed as Zhu Yan said, fond of beautiful women.

Of course, I prefer married women!

The reason he came to the teahouse every day was to look for hunting targets.

Those young women were merely secondary targets.

Their main targets were married women who were reasonably good-looking.

Once the target is spotted, Zhao Kuo will send people to follow them and then lead his men to snatch them back home.

Su Chen inquired about the fate of the women who had been abducted, and almost none of them managed to escape from Zhao Kuo's clutches.

Those families that have been broken up are fine if they don't cause trouble, but if they do, they will be forced to disappear before long.

After observing for a short while, Su Chen suddenly saw Zhao Kuo leap up, his narrow eyes fixed on a woman in yellow below.

Clearly, they have found their target.

Moreover, it seemed to suit his taste perfectly, as he didn't send his men to follow them directly, but instead took action himself.

Su Chen witnessed this scene and couldn't help but shake his head: "I wonder what kind of expression this guy would make if he found out that this woman was actually a man dressed as a woman."

When Zhao Kuo set his sights on the woman in yellow, Su Chen noticed that something was wrong with her.

The disguise techniques he had learned over the past few days came in handy at this moment, allowing Su Chen to see through the woman in yellow's disguise at a glance.

"Judging from this person's behavior, it seems he is deliberately trying to lure Zhao Kuo. Could it be that he has a grudge against Zhao Kuo?"

At this moment, Zhao Kuo had already run downstairs and, led by the woman in yellow, gradually moved away from Su Chen's sight.

Seeing this, Su Chen immediately got up, put the money for the meal on the table, and then followed.

the other side.

Zhao Kuo, who had been following the woman in yellow, did not notice anything amiss.

Before he knew it, he had been led to a secluded alley.

It wasn't until the woman in yellow stopped and turned to look at him that Zhao Kuo realized something was amiss.

He looked at the woman in yellow and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

"Kill your man!"

The woman in yellow snorted coldly, and with a slight sway of her arm, a long sword suddenly appeared.

Holding a sword, the woman in yellow suddenly attacked Zhao Kuo.
