1042 Deliberate
This bump and bump on the fists and feet was originally a game that these three young people usually played, but Ling Li now gave Sun Jin the feeling that he was a clay figure with much more water, as long as he pushed it gently, he would collapse down...... The update is so fast.
At this time, Wu Qinan, another young man in the room who had been silent, finally spoke and asked Ling Li: "I didn't expect the poison of that insect snake 'girl' to be so powerful, but didn't Xiao Chung treat you?" Why do you look worse now than you did when my grandson and I visited you a few days ago? β
Although Wu Qinan does not talk as much as Sun Jin, and is used to facing outsiders with his eyes slightly lowered, his eyesight and mental cohesion are actually very strong. From the moment he recognized Ling Li's identity, his attention had not been taken away from Ling Li, but the conclusions drawn from the observation made him as worried as Sun Jin.
Without waiting for Ling Li to reply to the two of them, one of the hands of the broken sword reached over, grabbed one of Ling Li's shoulders, and asked with a condensed look, "Fu Jian asked you to come?" β
When his words fell into the ears of the two young people on the side, the eyes of both of them also became condensed.
Ling Li's physical condition is so poor, if Fu Jian can still ignore these and summon him to participate in the mission, Fu Jian's heart is inevitably too ruthless, and people can't help but feel a little cold. However, this thought did not stay in the hearts of the two young people for long, because if it weren't for the fact that Ling Li had a deep 'friendship' with them like siblings, their way of thinking about problems would not have been so emotional.
Sun Jin and Wu Qinan, who were accustomed to rational 'sexual' thinking in the depths of their hearts, quickly came back to their senses and realized that even if Fu Jian was really cold-hearted, he should not make such an arrangement that did not conform to his intelligence. With Ling Li's current state, let alone cutting off his head, even cutting a 'chicken' duck is a bit lacking in strength, and if he follows them to participate in the mission of this trip to Kyoto, I am afraid that it will be of great help.
Although Uncle Fu Jian is not as gentle and easy to talk as Uncle Folding Sword, he is not an impulsive and stupid person. On the other hand, at this moment, Uncle Sword's expression was a little too emotional, wasn't it because he asked Uncle Fu Jian in front of him about the old grievances with him, and his thorn was a little more 'excited'?
Just when the expressions on the faces of the two young people fluctuated slightly as the questions they were thinking about, they listened to Ling Li's reply to Folding the Sword: "It has nothing to do with Uncle Fu Jian, I came here with Sun Jin." β
His whereabouts were caught by a fellow 'door' and tracked all the way so far, although because this fellow 'door' was his good friend, the consequences were not too strict, but Sun Jin's face at this time still became a little unnatural. This is the first time he has been followed, and what is tracking him is so bad.
Noticing the embarrassment on Sun Jin's face, Ling Li also knew that it was very inauthentic for the fellow 'sect' senior brother who had always been emphasized by the sect' to respect and help each other, but a problem he had discovered a few days ago, and his current poor physical condition, made him have to change some ways of acting towards his own brother.
"I'm sorry, Sun Jin." Ling Li didn't know what kind of words to pick to make Sun Jin believe that he was really sorry, but he also felt that he had come out this time, and with his body at this time, he was afraid that he would not be able to last a few hours, so he could only choose to be as simple as possible about all the words he wanted to say today.
The snake venom in the foggy mountains has infested his body for half a month, although he was treated in time by Xiao Chung and saved his life, but the residual poison is not extinguished, and the poisonous wounds are often repeated, which almost breaks half of his life.
The success of following Sun Jin to get here is mainly due to his familiarity with Sun Jin's behavior and habits, who have lived and practiced martial arts together for more than ten years. Despite this advantage, it is still very consuming to follow such a master without being noticed. Qiang chased to Deyi Building with a breath, and at this moment, Ling Li had clearly felt that his heart was beating fast, but his hands and feet were cold as if they were immersed in ice and snow, and his lips began to be a little numb.
In fact, he didn't have to take the initiative to say it, the two young people on the side could also see a trace of something bad from his face.
Although Sun Jin was a little unhappy when he first learned that he was being followed by Ling Li, that little affection was only a flash and did not leave a trace, and he didn't really mean to remember Ling Li. On the contrary, after listening to the sharp apology, he became a little anxious, and after a little hesitation, his eyes became cold, and he said: "That surnamed Xiao is obviously a quack, if he delays your 'life', I will have to take him out and slaughter him even if he travels thousands of miles." β
Hearing that there was a kind of ruthlessness in Sun Jin's tone, it seemed that he didn't seem to be joking when he said this, but if he really did this, he would probably be taken to the water prison by the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall for violating a certain rule of the sect'. Ling Li really wanted to persuade him, but in the end he just let out a silent breath and didn't say a word.
Taking a deep breath again, he suppressed the discomfort of palpitations a little, looked at Sun Jin and said slowly, "Do you know where I started to keep up with you?" β
Sun Jin had not yet withdrawn from the ruthlessness that he had just spoken, and when he heard Ling Li mention this matter again, he casually responded: "If I know, how can I let you succeed at this time, I will intercept you halfway." β
"You calm down." Ling Li raised his hand as he spoke, roughly making a "stop" meaning, and then said: "I met you at the wonton restaurant, but it was actually purely a coincidence." Because I went in a little before you, it may be because of this that you didn't notice me sitting firmly in the crowd. β
Speaking of this place, Sun Jin had also cooled down, and he could easily feel it with his mind, and the sharp words were not finished. But at the same time, he really couldn't figure out the real purpose of Ling Li's tracking him, and he didn't know if he would be willing to say it bluntly next, so he typed a sentence: "Looking at the way you look now, it's really too far from the Xiao Ling I saw." β
Ling Li didn't spend his 'spirit' to think about whether there was ambiguity in Sun Jin's words, but just looked at him and asked, "You don't ask why I'm there?" β
Under normal circumstances, Ling Li should hide in the Qingfeng Pavilion at this time to lie down and recuperate. More than a month ago, he made a deal in the Xiahe County Guard's Mansion, and although he earned a huge amount of money for the sect's 'sect', he had not completely escaped the pursuit of some kind of force since that day.
The assassination of court officials is a very troublesome matter, and if it involves the attention of the emperor in Kyoto, and sends a group of eagle dogs from the court to investigate the matter, the matter will become a little tricky, and maybe it will really pull the entire sect 'gate' into the water.
However, the personal influence of the county guard of Xiahe County obviously belonged to the latter after the assassination, and there was not much movement on the part of the imperial court on this matter. The report handed over was probably just a walk around the table case in the imperial study, and was soon sent to the Criminal Department, and the pension allocated by the court to the family of the county keeper who died tragically was not thin, but the follow-up work afterwards, the Criminal Department did a little hastily, and the case was closed early.
The sect's 'gate' also thought that this matter was over, as for the force that was chasing and killing Ling Li, the sect' didn't pay attention to it at first, in fact, including Sun Jin and Wu Qinan, who were closest to Ling Li, only laughed it off after hearing about it. As an outstanding person among the younger disciples of the sect' 'sect', Ling Li should have been able to easily cut off this little tail that was attached afterwards, which was also a small situation that other sect 'sect' disciples often encountered when performing tasks in the past.
However, an unexpected change happened to the sect's 'gate'. After killing several pursuers in a row on the way back to the sect's 'gate', he clearly felt that the people who pursued him not only did not automatically retreat because they were afraid of death, but the newcomers were going to surpass the former who were killed by him, both in terms of martial arts and strategy. Sniffing out that the situation was not good, Ling Li finally sent a letter of help to the sect' 'gate', but the sect''s reaction was still a little late, and he almost died when he collided with the insect snake 'girl' in the foggy mountains.
The sect's 'gate' also started from this moment on, really taking this matter seriously, and before the situation was really investigated, it guided Ling Li to live in Kyoto Seifukan. If the pursuit of Ling Li is not a secret 'operation' of the government, but from the warriors of the rivers and lakes, with the current style of guarding inside and outside Kyoto as meticulously as an iron plate, it is relatively safe for Ling Li to hide in this capital to suspend his injuries.
In Kyoto, where entering the city with a kitchen knife requires a complicated procedure, it is almost impossible for anyone to search a business without official credentials. Because of its special 'sexuality' nature, Qingfeng Pavilion is located in a relatively closed neighborhood with a pedestrian environment, which is also suitable for Ling Li to hide his identity and wait for his injury to recover.
So where he will appear in Kyoto, it should indeed have nothing to do with Fu Jian's arrangement, but after thinking about it again, there is one of the most obvious strangenesses. The sharp poisonous wound obviously has a tendency to deteriorate again, he is restless lying in the Qingfeng Pavilion to recuperate, tossing here, his face has the kind of gray and corrupt 'color' that only a dying person can have, he really wants to die?
"Do you want to die?" Sun Jin immediately asked, and when he said this, he looked at Ling Li, and there was no provocation in his eyes, but anxiety and worry were 'intertwined'.
Ling Li still didn't care about Sun Jin's words, but he didn't look away, but immediately asked under the gaze of the other party: "Do you know that in the Fangcai Wonton Pavilion, in addition to me, there are also Uncle Fu Jian and Little Senior Sister present?" β
"Huh?" Sun Jin was surprised and completely stunned.
If Fu Jian really exerted all his martial arts and the disguise technique he was good at to the extreme, he would indeed have the ability to hide from the disciples he taught, and naturally include the best of the young disciples of the three sects in front of him.
It's just that Sun Jin and Wu Qinan were both summoned to Beijing by Fu Jianxin, so when everyone arrived at the agreed place to gather, why did Fu Jian have to cover up this move?
The disciples of the sect's 'sect' are not without a certain degree of self-consciousness, even if they calmly encounter Fu Jian on the street, Sun Jin can understand that there is no need to greet his uncle. But this time in that small wonton restaurant, Fu Jian would have covered it so closely, if it hadn't been for Ling Li's mention at this time, Sun Jin wouldn't have realized it at all. Fu Jian is generally considered their master, and it is a little too cautious to do so.
But the key point that made Sun Jin and the other two people in the room feel that Fu Jian was a little weird was that Ling Li picked out this problem and spread it out on the table, otherwise this question would have been ignored by a few people waiting in this private room.
Sun Jin had already forgotten to speak, and at this time, he heard Wu Qinan, who had been silent, ask: "Xiao Ling, don't you already know the reason why Uncle Fu Jian did this?" β
His gaze turned to Wu Qinan's ice-like pupils, convinced that he couldn't find a concealed look in these eyes, and asked with some surprise in his sharp tone: "Don't you even know?" β
"Don't you know?" The sound of folding the sword suddenly came, and at the same time, Ling Li also felt the hand on his shoulder tighten slightly, he looked sideways, and saw the smiling face of the folding sword when he took a step closer to him, "Is something happening, since you are not involved in the mission of the few of us to enter Beijing this time, why did you come here today to swindle the news from the two of them?" β
When Folding Sword looked at Ling Li, his gaze was as gentle and steady as usual, and Ling Li looked at him, his face revealing deeper doubts. After looking at each other like this for a moment, Ling Li turned his head, looked at Sun Jin and Wu Qinan, and said slowly: "Okay, then let me talk about my thoughts." If I'm not wrong, your goal in entering Beijing this time is ......"
When Ling Li said the last two words of this sentence, he only moved his mouth and did not make a sound, and at the same time, he spread out one hand and made a posture of lifting upwards.
Although Deyi House is the most popular choice for many Beijing businessmen or officials in the DPRK and China when talking about business and confidantes, before being sure of the sound insulation effect of the elegant house on the upper floor of Deyi Building, Ling Li is never ready to spit out those two words 'exposed', because the incident that these two words are easy to involve is too terrible.
In case these two words are stolen by miscellaneous ears, the few people who have entered this capital, no matter how strong their personal skills are, will immediately become lambs to be bound under the search formation of more than 10,000 Kyoto garrison soldiers.
However, for his fellow 'disciples' uncles and brothers, the tacit 'communication' between them has long been able to support them in interpreting this silent mouth shape and gesture.
The other three people in the room were still calm except for the sword folding face, and the other two young people all had drastic expressions.
In Room C, No. 3 on the second floor of Deyi Building, a quiet atmosphere that was close to solidification lasted for a long time, and then it was revealed by a sharp sentence: "As for why Uncle Fu Jian went there, and even Sun Jin hid it, it was obviously because of the presence of the target person. β
Suddenly, I felt that there was a stagnant breath rising in my chest, and my breathing was a little uncomfortable, Ling Li paused slightly, took a deep breath, and then continued: "The 'attendant' with that big man is not weak in martial arts, and Uncle Fu Jian will even hide it from Sun Jin, the main reason should be here." Whether it was something he himself noticed by those people, or what Sun Jin had 'revealed' after recognizing Uncle Fu Jian's appearance, and being caught by those people, it would be extremely dangerous for you to come to Kyoto this time. β
"Even if it's as you say......" In the voice of his friend's explanation, Wu Qinan came back to his senses for a moment, and he immediately noticed a key flaw in his friend's words, and immediately asked: "How can you be sure that that person is ......"
When it came to the last two words, Wu Qinan only moved his mouth slightly exaggeratedly, and did not spit out 'revealing' sound.
"You forgot?" Ling Li looked at Wu Qinan, a little surprised by his forgetfulness, "Three years ago, we all met at the beach. β
"Just that look from three years ago...... I ......" Wu Qinan's brows furrowed slightly, and he searched through all the facial impressions in his mind, and was sure that the figure in the bright yellow robe he saw at a glance on the beach three years ago was indeed blurred, so he pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "I must admit that I don't have such a memory as you." β
Wu Qinan's words fell, and Sun Jin, who was listening to the side, continued: "I, like Qi Nan, can't remember clearly. But I think that just by looking at it from afar, I have to remember a person's face for three years, which is inevitably a bit harsh on myself. Qi Nan and I can't remember that person, mainly because we didn't think that one day we would have to compete with the person we had only met once. β
What Sun Jin said is not unreasonable. Even as a professional killer, in addition to the mission goal, every day when he will more or less have eyes with some people who have nothing to do with him, not every such passer-by will become a wisp of his own soul.
And if you carve every face you have seen in your heart, and store these memories for the opportunity to die in the future, wouldn't such a life be able to live without ghosts? Although killers do the work of picking people's lives, Yan SΓΉ said that they are also flesh and blood that grew up eating whole grains, and there are always times when they need to relax their nerves.
Although the two young men, Sun Jin and Wu Qinan, couldn't remember the faces that they hurriedly glanced at at the beach from a distance of hundreds of zhang three years ago, but from Ling Li's words, they remembered what the young man Ling Li said three years ago, and a trace of cold 'color' couldn't help but appear in their eyes.
The two partners who have lived and practiced art together for more than ten years have long known that they have long been accustomed to this. But at this moment, they were extremely surprised by this familiar thing, because they pondered the latent motives of the figure they had seen in a hurry three years ago, and when they thought about it, they couldn't help but feel a chill down their spine.
However, the two young people quickly thought that Ling Li would have planted this idea in their hearts for a long time, and I am afraid that it was mainly due to the cultivation of Fu Jian. Thinking of Uncle Fu Jian, who is also the master of the three of them, this person's mind is deep and complex, and looking at today's incident together, it makes people feel terrible.
The two young people, including Ling Li, didn't want to figure out the master's intentions so much, but at this time, they were already a little unavoidable, they were already recalling the fragment of watching the beach three years ago, and they had also remembered what Fu Jian said on the beach that day.
When the three young disciples of the sect 'Gate', who were like siblings, were taken to the east coast of Kyoto by Fu Jian three years ago, the three teenagers who had not yet debuted at that time almost thought that they were really going to play, although their Fu Jian master still looked stern and his tone was cold and hard that day, not quite like he was playing with them.
Now recalling and pondering what Fu Jian said that day, it makes people feel that Fu Jian foresaw and began to prepare for today's events three years ago. can think about it carefully, no matter whether the target person is strong or weak, the instructions of the sect' are not up to Fu Jian alone. For every transaction, it was definitely decided after careful and careful consideration and discussion by the elders in the sect.
Although Fu Jian was the master of the three of them, he only had the qualifications to comply with every business order issued by the sect', and he was absolutely unable to make any changes to it.
Since the business to be completed in Beijing this time was a decision reached after careful consideration by the sect's, Fu Jian, who played a role as a link in this matter, concealed some information from them in advance, but they still believed in the estimation and judgment of the sect's 'sect', and they should not let them do what they couldn't accomplish.
But Ling Li didn't recuperate well at this time, so he came here with his sick body to tell them this, what are you doing? He came by stealth and followed, obviously with a deliberate intention to avoid the sword, and in his intention, he could vaguely see a sense of wanting to stop, why?
Both young men quickly analyzed the connection between these past events and today's trip to Kyoto in their minds, trying to check the possible 'holes' before the mission plan was launched. After all, the target is too powerful this time, and maybe the time they miss is the time when they are wiped out of the dust.
But at this time, they still had no intention of giving up. The accumulation of experience and the establishment of a certain evaluation authority are both sources of trust for the disciples of the sect and will not question upward.
And seeing that the two companions were silent and no longer spoken, but the expressions on their faces were a little fluctuating, and at this moment, they had completely remembered what happened on the beach three years ago. Three years ago, they had also 'revealed' this kind of expression to him, and there was a faint sense of alienation in the horror, as if they had seen a monster.
A touch of Qi 'color' flashed under his eyes, he took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "A few days ago, you were all still in other counties, so I don't know what happened in the capital. In fact, even the inhabitants of the capital did not know how many people had been locked up in the dark besieged city that had surrounded a tree of apricot blossoms a few days earlier, and had bled dry that night. β
Listening to his remarks, the two young people, Sun Jin and Wu Qinan, only showed more sleepy and 'confused' expressions on their faces. Folding the sword, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "Then how do you know?" β
"A few days ago, Senior Sister Fu came to visit Qingfeng Pavilion, and I felt that her feelings and what she said had become a lot stranger, so ......" Ling Li hesitated, "So I looked at her list, and followed her into the besieged city according to the instructions on the list of times and places." β
When he said this, not only Sun Jin and Wu Qinan in the room were shocked, but even the broken sword couldn't help frowning.
