Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The atmosphere turned strange and awkward and Chen Yixuan failed to summon any courage to further ask any more questions. Master Six was busy filling their cups, bellowing loudly for toasts after toasts with a reckless abandon to get drunk and wasted. After drinking for some time, Master Six's hand slipped into his pocket and took out the small bundle wrapped with his handkerchief. Only now Chen Yixuan finally saw what it was: a bullet round, one which had been a dud. There were scorch marks at its end, the sign of being struck by a firing pin when the bullet was fired from a gun. Master Six handled the opened bundled to the old man. "Grandfather, look! Is this one of ours?" The old man took the bullet and peered at it closely. At last, he handed it back, saying, "Indeed. It is one of ours; my cousin's in fact!"
"Your cousin?" Master Six blurted loudly, as he quickly remarked, "Is he not at the cotton factory?" "He is," said the old man, nodding. "He has been there f

As he stepped out of the textile factory, Master Six told Chen Yixuan, "Hurry, we need to reach Wu Zhong County before nightfall!" Chen Yixuan took his instructions seriously and steered his warhorse in the direction the county. They did not speak, finally arriving at the Southern Pass of Wu Zhong County just as it was nearly dusk. Master Six dismounted before a sundry shop and told the assistant to get the shopkeeper. The assistant did not dare dally, upon noticing that they were police officers. After a short while, the shopkeeper emerged, and he hurriedly greeted the lawmen. "What orders do you have for me, officers?" he asked. Master Six wasted no time on pleasantries. "Tell your boss that we want to go up the mountain! We'll be back here tomorrow at eight a.m., and you should make the necessary arrangements!" he ordered before turning to leave after speaking, unconcerned if the shopkeeper had any questions. That night, as they were in the reception area, Chen Yi
Once Upon a Time Chapter 46 The Whole Bandits' Lair Is Wiped Out
Master Six surely deserved his reputation as an immortal. Chen Yixuan thought that Master Six had left him behind, but he had not yet fully formed the thought before he found out that the bandits were stilled and couldn't move. In the distance, the voice of Master Six came through, "The acupuncture points of these people will unravel in half an hour, take a horse and meet me at Mount Bie!" Then he had to go down the mountain alone. When he went past all the bandits standing guard on the way, he found them all stilled. Some of them were leaning on trees, and others were lying on the ground. It was really quite amusing! Chen Yixuan got on a horse and started to catch up from behind... When he reached Mount Bie, he was tired and hungry. He saw a restaurant by the roadside and then drew rein at the door. The waiter came out to bow and asked, "Hello, Mister. Are you Officer Chen?" Chen Yixuan asked, "How do you know?" The waiter said promptly, "Your colleague is waiting for

When his colleague reached this point in the conversation, there was not a sign of disappointment on his face. Instead, he said to Chen Yixuan very excitedly, "At that moment, I was flabbergasted. All the insiders were executed by shooting, leaving us no leads to look for the goods!" Master Six looked at me and said, "Let's head back!" We both returned to the Jixian Police Station Guest House. After eating and returning to the room, I still couldn't help to ask, "Master Six, all the insiders are dead. There are no others for us to interrogate the whereabouts of the goods. What's our next move to find clues?" Master Six said dryly, "Who says we can't find out the whereabouts of the goods if the bandits are all dead?" I said, "Is there another way?" Master Six raised his hand and pointed his palm to me. In his palm, some pictures appeared like a puppet show (There was no television in this time of China). I saw those bandits all on their knees with the Ox-head and the Ho

However, no matter how we tried, we couldn't ignite the incense. When it touched the flame from the lighter, it gave out smoke. But once it left the flame, it went out. I looked at the others and found that the same happened to them. How strange that was! At this moment, we heard someone talking at the door. Then we saw a middle-aged man who was around 50 coming in. He was wearing clothes of famous brands and leather sandals, holding an iPhone in luxury gold color in his hand. Talking through his phone, he passed between us directly as if he didn't see us and sat on the couch. We all got stupefied. Chong Xi asked him suspiciously, "Are you in the wrong house?"

Then he turned his head and said to the boatmen, "Will you jump off by yourselves, or should I make you?" Right after his voice faded away, the two men jumped into the water with a flop.

During dinner, from nowhere, Father took out a sword and handed it to me. "Take this sword, since the previous one was broken," he said. I took the sword from him and studied it. What the, I gasped quietly. This looked exactly the same as the previous one! Did Father buy these swords in bulk?

I could still remember the sword coming alive, flying in the air without being wielded when Father had shown me the swordplay that evening. For an entire year, I pored through the book, looking for answers that might have eluded me before, still, none of my attempts to pattern what he had displayed that night bore any semblance to his.
