chasing autumn

This night, the night is like ink.

When Fang Xu came out of the room he lived in, he was a little disturbed and couldn't fall asleep, so he wanted to get up and walk around.

Chengxi Casino is a fairly lively place.

Fang Xu has been here for some time.Since Shopkeeper Liu never allowed him to participate in the gambling table affairs, but only asked him to maintain the order and stability of the casino, he could only sit aside and watch with cold eyes. A few gamblers.Although the Chengxi gambling house has a very simple and small appearance, although there are not many guests every day and every hour, they never stop.These gamblers seem to like to gamble with scraps of silver.What you see on the gaming table is often scattered silver coins, and you have never seen silver bills.This made Fang Xu feel a little strange.

Fang Xu strolled in the yard for a while, and suddenly remembered something that happened during the day.

He remembered that shopkeeper Liu had whispered to a man wearing a black turban for a while, and the two left the closet and entered the inner room, and then did not come out for a long time.Later, a guest came to look for shopkeeper Liu, Fang Xu lifted the curtain and went into the inner room to call him, but there was no one in the room!

Fang Xu was surprised at the time.

He remembered that he had been sitting facing the door of the inner room. After the two entered the inner room, they never came out again.That being the case, where did they go?

Full of doubts, Fang Xu entered the gambling hall from the back door lightly, looked around for a while, and then entered the inner room.In that small room, there is a desk for the shopkeeper to keep accounts, several bookcases, and some large wooden boxes.

Fang Xu thought to himself, there is no window in this room, only a door leading to the hall of the gambling house, if the two disappeared out of thin air, there must be a secret room connected to this room!

He moved the bookcase against the wall and rummaged through it for a while, but he didn't find anything weird.As he was thinking about it, he realized that he had stepped on something like a stone, and when he leaned over, it was a piece of broken silver.

"It's the money lost by the gamblers," Fang Xu said with a smile. "This shopkeeper Liu, I thought he would be very careful about the management of money. Unexpectedly, there will be omissions."

Fang Xu picked up the piece of broken silver and wanted to put it on the table, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Why is this silver..." Fang Xu looked at it carefully for a while, and with a sudden force on his hand, the broken silver broke into two halves!There is also a strip of paper that has been frustrated into a thin tube.

"This is..." Fang Xu opened the note, "It turns out that this is not a gambling house at all, but an information center! These people are not gamblers, they are here to exchange information!!"

Fang Xu put the note and the crushed silver in his arms, and walked towards the wooden box placed in the corner.He thought, if there is a note in each piece of silver, then he can use this information to find the organization contacts of Infernal Affairs in various places.

He reached out to open the wooden box, and there were some silver and cloth piled inside. He took out the contents of the box, touched the bottom of the box, and suddenly felt that he had touched some mechanism. The next moment, the bottom of the wooden box cracked open, revealing a A dark passage.

"So the secret room is underground, no wonder I can't find it!" Fang Xu jumped into the wooden box and entered the underground secret room.

Pushing open a small door, suddenly there was some light in front of his eyes, Fang Xu carefully looked through the crack of the door.

It was a big hall, the desks and cabinets against the wall were full of volumes, and some guards in white clothes were busy walking around with notes in their hands. Fang Xu recognized the outfit, so he sneaked in cautiously. , hiding behind a stone wall, said: "It really is an information center, so this is the function of the casino in the west of the city!"

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a woman in black robe striding towards the center of the hall, holding a sign in her hand, and said loudly: "Here is the token of the young master, and Heisha is here to take the scroll of the Minghuo throne under the order of the young master."

After she finished speaking, someone came over respectfully and led her to a book shelf next to her to take a volume of copywriting.

Fang Xu said to himself: "Young master?! There is a young master in Infernal Affairs? Why have I never heard of it..."

Heisha took the things and left the hall. Fang Xu followed her carefully and exited the secret room through another exit.This exit is located in a seemingly ordinary house, Heisha left the house, and after walking a few steps, he faintly felt someone behind him.She turned around abruptly, but there was no one there.

"Is it an illusion?"

Heisha murmured to himself, then turned and left.

Seeing her walking away, Fang Xu came out slowly from behind the stone wall on the street, holding a sign in his hand, and said thoughtfully:

"This is... the young master's token?"

The next day, Shanghexuan

Hei Sha was pacing up and down the yard with a worried face, and seeing Bai Sha passing by the side corridor, she hurried over and asked anxiously, "Bai Sha, where is the young master? Where did you go? Why haven't you come back yet?"

"The princess was poisoned, and the doctors invited were helpless. The young master went to the palace to find an antidote for the princess..." As soon as Baisha finished speaking, Heisha sighed helplessly, and asked again, "What's the matter?" ?What happened?"

Heisha said: "The token that the young master gave me last night... I lost it, and I can't find it no matter how hard I look for it, what should I do?"

Bai Sha said: "This is not a trivial matter. The young master's identity cannot be revealed to others at will. The congregants are all identified by tokens. Those who hold the young master's token can even enter the suzerain's study... If someone uses the token cards to stir up trouble, then..."

Heisha said: "So, I can't find the young master now, I think, should I inform the suzerain?"

Bai Sha thought for a while, and said: "I think it's better not to make a big deal up, maybe it's just lost, not stolen, you should look for it again, and make a decision when the young master comes back!"

******************************************

In the backyard of the casino, Fang Xu chatted with a few guys from the casino.

Fang Xu asked: "Who is the young master?"

Guy A: "I don't know."

Coworker B: "No one knows the identity of the young master, we only use tokens to identify."

Fang Xu asked again: "Has anyone among you seen it?"

Guy A: "I've seen it, I've seen it, but it's wearing a black mask and a black cloak..."

Guy B: "The young master always wears a mask when he appears, no one has seen his true face."

Fang Xu smiled and said, "So mysterious? Why are you so secretive, young master?"

Guy A whispered: "I heard that the young master is in the court..."

In the court? !

The Nether King actually sent people to infiltrate the court?Isn't that...

Fang Xu changed his mind:

No one knows the identity of the young master!

No one has seen his face!

So, even if you're pretending, no one will recognize you?

They don't know this young master, but someone will!
