Daqin: A buff of incredible comprehension

Yin Xinyue asked first, "What is your name?"

"Zhao Chen, what's your name?" Zhao Chen responded politely.

Yin Xinyue was slightly surprised: "Don't you know me?"

"Do I need to know you?" Zhao Chen asked back.

Yin Xinyue suddenly realized, "That's right. My name is Yin Xinyue. Are you also interested in tomorrow's auction?" "Why, I can't? Is it because I'm not qualified or lack the funds?" Zhao Chen questioned.

"That's not the case, but this auction is quite risky. If you really get the item you want, I'm afraid you may not be able to take it away from Peking."

In response, Zhao Chen said, "That's certainly nothing to worry about. However, there's one thing that's quite puzzling: Why would the Crescent Moon Inn want to sell off that national treasure?"

Yin Xinyue seemed very hesitant about this question: "I don't know much about this matter, it was all handled by my father. But what I heard is that it might be a big shot who forced us to do this, and if we resist, it might cause a blow to the inn. The current Xinyue Inn is not only a shelter here, but also hides many brave people. If it is exposed, it will be like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth. I really wonder why I told you so much... In short, these must not be told to outsiders, otherwise you will bear the consequences." Yin Xinyue became alert and emphasized to Zhao Chen in a threatening tone.

Zhao Chen earnestly assured: "Please rest assured about this. I will never mention anything here." To be honest, he was quite angry when he first heard that the Crescent Inn was going to sell those rare artifacts; but now that he knew the reason, his dissatisfaction has subsided a lot.

Apparently it's all the bald guy's fault.

Seeing this, Yin Xinyue said: "Then if there is nothing else, I will leave. I wish you a good sleep."

"Are you leaving soon?!" Zhao Chen seemed a little reluctant.

Yin Xinyue replied angrily: "This is your residence, should I..." Under Zhao Chen's playful gaze, she felt even more embarrassed, "Tsk, I'm not going to bother with you anymore!" After saying that, she slammed the door and left.

"What a cute girl with a simple mind!" Zhao Chen chuckled and said nothing more.

Zhao Chen simply set up a small barrier and lay on the bed thinking about his next move.

The matter of the Nine Cauldrons was just a minor incident. Now that we have arrived in Peking, let's start the liberation from here! First, obtain the Nine Cauldrons, and then wipe out all the Japanese in Peking.

Elsewhere, Yin Xinyue stormed out of Zhao Chen's room. Upon returning, two maids saw her furious face and hurried forward to ask, "Girl, what happened? Did that young master bully you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who am I? How could I possibly be bullied? I only bully others. Who dares to bully me?"

"Yes, yes, ** is beautiful, kind-hearted, and of noble status, so how could she be bullied? But, **, have you noticed that young man has an extraordinary bearing and is probably of a high status? Even the sons of some important figures are probably no match for him! Also, look at this."

A maid handed a piece of information to Yin Xinyue.

"What is this?" Yin Xinyue took the information and read it carefully, but was still a little confused.

"Umekawa Xiaoku is dead, what does it have to do with me?"

"F**k, Meichuan Xiaoku just made rude remarks and slandered that young master. He was frightened half to death and died suddenly at home shortly afterwards. There is no connection between them. Do you believe it?"

"Are you saying that Meichuan Xiaoku's death is related to Master Zhao?"

"Although there's no definitive evidence, his sudden death seemed like the result of some kind of illness. But how could that be possible? This is precisely why we have such speculation. Furthermore, Umekawa Koku's identity is quite significant; his grandfather is the current Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army, Yamada Otozo."

"Well, are you worried that those little Japanese will come and cause trouble for Mr. Zhao?"

"Of course they will, but they wouldn't dare mess around in our Crescent Hotel." "Then do you think I should tell Zhao Chen to be careful?"

"That depends on what you mean. If you're worried about Mr. Zhao, then you should remind him. If you don't care or don't like it, then it doesn't matter."

"Let's go and remind him..." Yin Xinyue suddenly came to her senses, and a hint of anger suddenly appeared on her pretty face.

"You are so bold! How dare you tease me? I will teach you a lesson!"

Raising their hands pretentiously, the maids quickly bowed and begged for mercy: "**, we were wrong." Although they begged for mercy verbally, their voices were full of smiles.

Obviously, they knew their husband's temper and would never really hit them.

"Xiaoyue, after dark, go and invite Master Zhao over and tell him I'm hosting a banquet for him."

"I understand."

"Go down!"

When she was the only one left in the room, Yin Xinyue wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction: "Hmph! Damn Zhao Chen, stinky Zhao Chen, you actually dared to kick me out? Let's see how you beg me. Then I'll make you pay! Hmph!"

Fortunately, no one saw her charming appearance, otherwise it would have been shocking. The head of the Crescent Hotel, even a Japanese colonel would have been polite to him, but now he was showing such a girlish attitude, which was indeed surprising.

The Crescent Hotel is extremely lively at night.

Even though the auction doesn’t start until tomorrow, the important figures have already arrived: collectors from all over the world, political representatives, international celebrities, and scholars have all gathered here.

Those with inside information knew what the most eye-catching item was at the auction, while those without precise intelligence came simply to join in the fun.

In addition, there are some people Zhao Chen is familiar with here, more precisely, characters from the novel - such as Zhang Qisan and others. They learned that there was a good medicine that could cure the girl's disease at the auction, so they came to the Crescent Hotel regardless of the risk. Otherwise, why would they take the risk to come here?

Everyone who came this time had their own purpose, and almost all the important people were already present. It was just because Zhao Chen was a member of the Red ** that they didn't send more people.

Obviously, they had complete trust in Zhao Chen. Xiaoyue was ordered to come and invite Zhao Chen.

However, she knocked on the door for a long time but still got no response, which made Xiaoyue very surprised. So she called a servant to ask what was going on.

"Has this gentleman left?"

"I don't know. There has been no movement in the room since ** left."

"What did you say? Isn't he in the room?"

"I'm not sure. It feels like the room is vacant, but I haven't seen this gentleman go out, so I don't dare to disturb him."

After hearing this, Xiaoyue understood what was going on.

As listening slaves at the Crescent Hotel, they could pick up even the slightest sound, including the heartbeat of a sleeping person. But now, there was no sound at all, so the only possibility was that no one was in the room.

But Tingnu said that he did not see Zhao Chen leave, which is really puzzling.

Could this person just disappear out of thin air? The door to the room was locked from the inside, which only added to Xiaoyue's doubts.

"You continue to stay here and monitor. Report anything you find to me immediately. I'm going to notify **."

"Yes!!!"

Xiaoyue quickly left to report to Yin Xinyue.

“ ** …….”

"Xiaoyue, what happened? Why are you so flustered? Speak slowly. By the way, why didn't Zhao Chen come over?"

"**, something terrible has happened, the young master is missing!"

Yin Xinyue: “???”

"Xiaoyue, explain to me clearly what 'the young master is missing' means?"

" **, this is what happened..."

Xiaoyue described in detail what she saw at the door of Zhao Chen's room, which also confused Yin Xinyue.

"Are you sure what Tingnu said is true? There was no movement in Zhao Chen's room. He is no longer in the room, but they didn't see Zhao Chen leave?"

" **, that's right."

After hearing this, Yin Xinyue frowned.

"You didn't force your way in?"

"Fuck, the door is locked from the inside and we can't open it at all."

"What the hell is going on? How can a living person escape into a wall? Or has he been *disappeared* in the room?"

"Damn it, this is impossible. Everything at the Crescent Hotel is strictly monitored by the slaves. If someone broke into the young master's room and assassinated him, how could they not know?"

"Then what exactly happened? Why did Zhao Chen disappear?"

"This……"

Xiaoyue was speechless for a moment.

"No, I'll go check it out myself!" After saying that, Yin Xinyue stood up and walked out.

In the corridor, she and Zhang Qisan met unexpectedly, but at this time Yin Xinyue was thinking about Zhao Chen and did not notice Zhang Qisan's existence at all.

Seeing this, Zhang Qisan looked at Yin Xinyue in some confusion.

"Master Buddha, what happened?"

"Who is that woman?"

"I'm not sure, maybe he's a representative of a big family."

"Okay, let's go inside! We have to get those medicines tomorrow!"

"Thank you, Lord Buddha."

"You're welcome."

Yin Xinyue walked to the front of Zhao Chen's room and said to the stick slave who was guarding the side: "Knock on the door!" The stick slave responded and took a few steps back to prepare for action, but suddenly -

Squeak!

The door opened by itself!

"Master Yin, what's going on? I don't think I've offended you. Why are you banging on my door?" "Have you... have you been in the room the whole time?"

"Yes, I was immersed in a beautiful dream. The sound outside the north gate woke me up. When I heard you were going to bang on the door, I quickly opened it. Did you offend the eldest young master in some way?" Zhao Chen smiled, as if teasing her.

"You...I...Humph! Do I need to explain to you that I knocked on my own door?"

"Of course not, but I'm the one in the room now, and I'm paying!"

"Hmph!" Yin Xinyue was speechless for a moment.

But then her eyes lit up, and there was a cunning light in her eyes, "Hehe, Mr. Zhao, if I remember correctly, you haven't paid the rent yet?"

Zhao Chen: "Uh...that's true."

He was silent for a while, then said helplessly: "Okay, I'll pay right away!"
