Siheyuan: Starting with level 8 benchwork skills

Wang Ye said, "It seems that the things we thought were simple actually have hidden mysteries. I guess President Chen will be even busier now."

Yun Miao guessed: "Maybe, he may not be interested in these things."

Zhang Sanfeng asked: "@林凤娇 Daoist friend, what do you think, are there really zombies here?"

Lin Fengjiao smiled and replied, "I'll just sit back and wait and see. If I can get a zombie, I can study it and see how it differs from our world."

Li Yunlong sighed: "It turns out that our world hides so many secrets."

Yun Miao joked, "Li Yunlong, maybe finding those treasures can contribute to your points."

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up: "Not bad, I can give it a try after driving the Japanese away."

Qian Renxue was helpless: "Now even Li Yunlong's world is full of secrets, we seem too weak here."

Yun Miao comforted her: "Just get used to it. After all, your future is extraordinary."

Everyone laughed, but Qian Renxue was secretly annoyed: Damn Miaomiao, if you can't afford to offend me, just hide away.

Here, Zhao Chen left the command post and activated the quantum optical brain to comprehensively scan the world.

I originally thought that this was just an ordinary anti-Japanese war world, but unexpectedly, the Crescent Hotel appeared.

This is interesting. The Old Nine Gates and their treasures may also exist.

This aroused his interest.

However, in his current capacity, he felt it was inappropriate and he did not have much motivation.

The result of the scan only added the world of tomb raiding, and no more complex elements appeared, such as magicians or Republic of China ghost stories.

This actually saves a lot of worry.

Zhao Chen soon arrived in Peiping to continue his mission.

Although the current situation is under the control of Xiao Rizi, but in such a complicated place as Peking, even Xiao Rizi does not dare to provoke so many forces easily.

Especially at the current critical moment of all-out war, no matter how daring they are, they dare not rashly do anything that goes against the will of the people.

The days of controlling Puyi and plotting the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere would naturally not lead to large-scale destruction of this former center of the Qing court.

When Zhao Chen stepped into Beiping and saw the numb eyes of the people on the street, he felt a strong urge in his heart to immediately get rid of these little guys and their accomplices here.

But he finally endured it.

Such interesting things are rare, so you might as well play with them and give Han Xin and the others more time to adapt.

Zhao Chen's temperament was out of tune with his surroundings. Although his clothing was not luxurious, it was quite aristocratic, which made the numb people feel inferior and avoid him.

Even the patrolling soldiers and puppet troops would unconsciously stop or take a detour when they met him.

Zhao Chen arrived at the entrance of the Crescent Hotel and found that it was crowded with people because of the auction to be held tomorrow. People from all walks of life were pouring in, and spies were lurking in secret.

He didn't care about it and walked straight in.

"Are you alone, young master?"

Seeing Zhao Chen, a maid immediately came forward to ask. "Yes, is there any room left? I want the best one."

"Yes! If you come a little later, there will be no room."

The maid replied quickly. "Very good, I have ordered it."

"Please come with me."

When the maid was about to take Zhao Chen to the room, a Japanese suddenly stopped them: "Baka! We said there is no room! This..."

The Japanese man suddenly stopped talking, apparently frightened by Zhao Chen's sharp eyes. "Sir, our hotel has the right to decide who to reserve the room for. This gentleman is our distinguished guest, so of course we have reserved a room for him."

The other party said helplessly: "Forget it, Meichuan Jun, let's go."

Umekawa Xiaoku left angrily.

Zhao Chen nodded calmly, then followed the maid calmly.

In the room on the third floor, when the maid was about to leave, Zhao Chen stopped her. "Wait a moment."

"Sir, do you have anything else to do?"

"How do you achieve that look?"

Zhao Chen asked meaningfully.

The maid hesitated, "What did you say, sir? I don't understand."

Zhao Chen said directly: "Do you want the person behind you to come out?"

The maid was interrupted before she could reply: "Okay, okay, you can leave first."

Following these words, a woman pushed the door open and came in, "Come down, Xiaoyue!"

When only the woman and Zhao Chen were left, the woman looked at Zhao Chen with strong interest in her eyes.

"I recognize this as Miss Yin Xinyue, the person in charge of the Xinyue Hotel."

"Zhao Chen, right?"

Yin Xinyue asked back.

"I'm here for tomorrow's auction."

Zhao Chen said.

“This auction is indeed somewhat dangerous.

If you really take a good picture, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave Peking."

Yin Xinyue reminded.

“I know this myself.

But I want to know, why do you, the Crescent Hotel, hold such an auction?"

Zhao Chen asked curiously.

"That's not what I meant. My father said he was forced to do everything by a certain big boss."

If he didn't do what he wanted, the Crescent Hotel would be attacked.

At present, the Crescent Hotel is the only safe place in Peiping. Many heroes are hiding here. Their existence must not be exposed, otherwise... It's strange, why did I reveal so much to you.

Remember, what happened today must not be leaked to anyone, otherwise I will send someone to punish you."

Yi Xinyue suddenly realized that she had let the cat out of the bag and sternly warned Zhao Chen. "Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret."

Zhao Chen nodded in assurance.

Earlier, when he saw that the Crescent Hotel was going to auction the Nine Cauldrons, he was very angry, but now that he understood the reason, his anger has subsided a lot.

It's all that bald guy's fault.

"Master Yin, please go back. I need to rest."

Yi Xinyue said calmly. "Ah? You want to chase me away?"

Zhao Chen asked in surprise.

"Do you want to stay here? This is my room, Master Yin..."

Zhao Chen looked Yin Xinyue up and down with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

"Humph! I won't bother with you!"

Yin Xinyue slammed the door and walked out angrily.

"What an innocent and lovely girl!"

Zhao Chen smiled slightly and said no more.

Zhao Chen set up a simple barrier and lay on the bed thinking about his next plan.

The Nine Cauldrons was just a small episode; the important thing was the liberation of Peking.

After getting the Nine Cauldrons, we still have to solve the problems of the entire Peking.

On the other hand, Yin Xinyue left Zhao Chen's room angrily.

After returning to the room, the two maids saw that she looked unhappy and asked hurriedly: "Boss, what happened? Did that young master bully you?"

"Don't guess blindly! Who dares to bully me? I only bully others.

Besides, look at that young man, he has an outstanding temperament and a noble status. The sons of several big bosses cannot compare to him.

And, look at this intelligence.”

The maid handed her a piece of information. "What is it?"

Yin Xinyue took the intelligence and read it through, but she still had doubts. "Meikawa Xiaoku is dead, so what does this have to do with me?"

“Just now, when Umekawa Xiaoku was insulting that young master, he was frightened to death and died in his house.

There is really no connection between these two things, do you believe it? "

"Are you saying that his death is related to Young Master Zhao?"

"We can't be sure yet because we haven't found out how he died. Even the coroner is at a loss as to why. It seems like he died suddenly of an illness.

So, we have our doubts.

Moreover, Umekawa Koku is of a special status, as his grandfather is none other than the current commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Yamada Otozo."

"Well, are you worried that the Japanese will cause trouble for Mr. Zhao?"

“Someone will definitely take action, but at least they won’t dare to do so in our Crescent Hotel.

Should we tell Mr. Zhao to be more careful?"

"Maybe I should tell him that I have made up my mind. If you are really worried about Mr. Zhao's safety, you should tell him. If you don't care, then it doesn't matter."

"You should go tell him..."

Suddenly Yin Xinyue realized, "How dare you tease me? Wait till I punish you?"

The maid quickly begged for mercy, smiling. "Master, we know we were wrong."

She understood that the maids were just joking and meant no harm.

"Xiaoyue, go and invite Young Master Zhao to dinner later. I will personally host a banquet for him."

"My maid understands."

Yin Xinyue waved her hand to let them go, and after thinking for a moment, she ordered: "Send someone else to closely monitor the situation at Meichuan Xiaoku and report back at any time."

After being alone, Yin Xinyue frowned and muttered in a low voice: "Huh! That annoying Zhao Chen actually dared to kick me out.

Just wait and see, if you need my help in the future, I’ll see what you dare to do! "

Her delicate and charming appearance made it hard to imagine that she was the boss of the Crescent Hotel. If others saw her, they would be very surprised.

That night, the Crescent Hotel was brightly lit.

Although the auction is not until tomorrow, people from all walks of life have already arrived in advance and it is very lively.

Favorites of other powers, politicians and celebrities from various countries, as well as literati and scholars gathered together.

Those who are well-informed about the inside information naturally understand what is the most crucial thing about this auction, while those who have no information are just here to join in the fun.

Zhao Chen also found several familiar faces, who were originally characters in novels: Zhang Qisan and others.

These people came to the Crescent Hotel specifically because they heard that there would be medicine that could cure the little girl's illness at this auction. Otherwise, how would they dare to take the risk to come here?

Almost all the people with different purposes were present this time.

However, since the Red Party sent Zhao Chen here, they did not send anyone else, which showed their absolute trust in Zhao Chen.

Xiaoyue also came to invite Zhao Chen as expected, but no one answered the door after knocking repeatedly, which made her feel very strange, so she had to ask Tingnu:

"Has this guest gone out?"

"Reporting, since that ** left, there has been no sound in the house."

"Does that mean the gentleman is not in the room?"

"I'm not sure. The house was so quiet that it seemed as if no one was there. But I haven't seen him go out since then..."

Xiaoyue understood immediately. As the listening slave responsible for monitoring the guests' movements at the Crescent Hotel, she could even hear heartbeats, but now she could hear nothing. The only possibility was that there was no one in the room.

But this contradicts what Tingnu said - no one went out.

Could this distinguished guest really disappear out of thin air? But the door was indeed locked from the inside, which made Xiaoyue even more confused.

"You continue to monitor and report immediately if anything happens. I will go and notify Miss Yin."

Xiaoyue hurried to find Yin Xinyue.
