Volume 1 Wind and Rain into Lin'an Chapter 60 Stalking
Fang Zi'an squinted his eyes and didn't open them, but said in a low voice: "Is there someone following behind?" ”
Zhang Ruomei was stunned for a moment, nodded and said in a low voice: "Exactly, it turns out that you already knew?" ”
Fang Zi'an still squinted his eyes and said in a low voice: "The one with the white floral curtain, since we got in the car, that car has been following us." If nothing else, in addition to the driver in the straw hat who was driving, there were three other people in the car, two in blue coats and one in dark coats. All of them are men in their prime. ”
Zhang Ruomei stared blankly at Fang Zi'an's wide eyes, staring at Fang Zi'an as if she had seen a ghost, and said after a while: "How do you know so much?" ”
Fang Zi'an smiled slightly and didn't answer, but said in his heart: "When I was a special scout, did I do it in vain?" ”
"The guys were locked on us as soon as we walked out of the alley. People come and go in the market, everyone is busy with their own business, how can they have the leisure to stare at others? You and I are all dressed in ordinary clothes, I look average, and you are just an ordinary woman after makeup, what is there to attract their attention? Not to mention that as soon as we got in the car, they immediately followed. The carriage was parked on the corner of the street, apparently prepared by the park. Where do the horse-drawn carriages that usually solicit customers stop there in the morning when business is busy? To sum up, these guys are deliberately stalking us. Fang Zi'an explained in a low voice.
Zhang Ruomei was very surprised, and admired it in her heart. It's just that in the short time from coming out of the alley to hailing the carriage to get on the bus, Fang Zi'an actually saw so many situations and details, and the analysis was completely reasonable, it was simply amazing. It's incredible.
"But you've been closing your eyes and recuperating, how do you know that the other party has been following us?" Zhang Ruomei still refused to believe that this was a judgment obtained in a short moment, and she wanted to find something to refute.
"Isn't that easy? Listen to the voice. The carriage behind the horse had a brass bell around its neck. Although the market is noisy, the sound of brass bells can be faintly heard. Suddenly there is nothing, which is the reason why the other party is far away and close. Besides, you've turned back five or six times after a while, and I just can't hear the brass bells, and I know that they must have followed and caught your attention. I'm not deaf or blind, I'm just squinting. Fang Zi'an smiled bitterly.
Zhang Ruomei was completely convinced, compared with Fang Zi'an, she was simply a fledgling chick. I thought I was alert enough, but I was nothing.
"Who are these people? Did you recognize me? Have my deeds been exposed? Zhang Ruomei said in a low voice.
Fang Zi'an groaned: "It shouldn't be coming at you." You are a wanted criminal, if you know that you are an assassin, why do you follow you? Directly call the officers and soldiers to arrest you and me. Since they are just following the stalk, they don't want to startle the snake, they just want to get some information. So it must not be because your tracks are exposed, but because you're coming for me. ”
"Makes sense, but at you? Have you offended anyone? Why do these people come to spy on you? Who the hell are they? Zhang Ruomei agreed with Fang Zi'an's judgment, but she was puzzled in her heart and asked like a cannon.
Fang Zi'an shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Do you know everything when I do?" I can't yet determine who they are, what the purpose of keeping an eye on me is. If I had known, wouldn't I have become a god? However, this kind of sneaky stalking behavior must not have a fair purpose. ”
"We're going to Qin Xiqing to meet with the prince, but we can't let them follow. You're not saying that everything is secret at the moment, are you? ”
Fang Zi'an nodded and said, "Of course, how can you let them follow." Also, I want to know who they are and what their purpose is for keeping an eye on me. We'll have to find a place to meet them. ”
Zhang Ruomei nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Fang Zi'an turned his head to look at the street scene on both sides and knocked on the carriage in front. The old man who was driving the car turned his head and asked, "What do you want from the guest?" ”
Fang Zi'an said: "Please stop at the Hengjiekou in front, we won't go to Chongxinfang." Rest assured, the fare is paid. ”
The old man who drove the car agreed repeatedly, and the skillful command of the horse pulling the cart leaned to the side of the road, not far in front of a small side street, the old man's skills were good, and the carriage stopped impartially at the entrance of the side street.
"Let's go!" Fang Zi'an said in a low voice, opened the door, jumped out of the carriage, and threw a piece of broken silver in the arms of the old man who was driving the car, and kept walking into the side street. Behind him, Zhang Ruomei also quickly got out of the car and followed.
Soon after, the carriage that was watching from behind also arrived, and four people jumped out of the carriage with the coachman, and craned their necks to look out into the street. The side street is said to be a street, but it is actually just a slightly wider alley. There were few pedestrians on the side street, and several people were panting on the side street.
"What about people? Why is it gone in the blink of an eye? Obviously went in here. ”
"yes, why is it gone? Hell yes. The two men in short clothes glared.
"What are you talking about? Don't chase it yet. Can you still fly? The man in the black robe was obviously their leader, and he scolded in a low voice.
The four of them rushed in from the entrance of the street, and after twenty or thirty paces forward, they found a narrower and secluded alley on the left.
"It must have gone from here. Pursue! The man in the long coat suddenly realized and rushed in first. The other three also hurried in.
The alleys are narrow, flanked by residential houses, and the walls reach to the top, obviously without worrying about the other party running on the roof. So the four of them rushed forward, chasing a hundred steps along the alley, and suddenly, the alley came to an end, and in front of it was a narrow river, with green willows on the bank and a breeze.
This kind of small river is actually very common in Lin'an City, Lin'an City, East River, Middle River, Xiaohe East and other large rivers are natural waterways, connecting the canal waterways outside the city. With this advantage, the small channels between the rivers in the city are also connected by dredging and artificial excavation, which is convenient for small boats to pass around. As a mega city, home to more than two million people, the waterways connected by these small rivers and forks play a good role in facilitating the passage of small goods and transporting small goods. So it's everywhere.
The river in front of us is now deserted, and there are no boats passing through it. The willow trees on the shore are shady, and the river is ventilated, and the scenery is beautiful and pleasant.
Several stalkers had no time to enjoy the scenery at the moment, and they filled into the riverbank to look around, but they didn't see any people. The man in the long coat in the lead scolded anxiously: "Damn, why is there no one?" Could it be that he really grew wings and flew into the sky? ”
When a man in short clothes heard the words 'fly to the sky', he subconsciously looked up at the willow tree beside him. Suddenly, the wind was blowing, and the sole of one foot in the dense willow branches was infinitely magnifying in front of him. With a bang, the man in short clothes was hit in the head by a kick flying from the sky and was directly kicked to the ground.
The other three screamed in horror, and although they reacted quickly, two of them had even drawn their daggers from their waists, but the two who jumped out of the willow shade were obviously faster than them.
Fang Zi'an fell from the sky, and after kicking a man who looked up and looking up, he kicked a second kick while his body was still in the air, kicking the dagger in the hand of another short-clothed man on the side. When he hit the ground, a punch struck the man in the face, knocking him unconscious. A few steps away, Zhang Ruomei also fell from the sky, and kicked a man in short clothes in the temple with a quick movement, knocking the man unconscious.
It's just that in the blink of an eye, three of the four watchers were stunned, and only the leader in black robe was left standing between the two of them in horror with a dagger in his hand, and was caught in front and back.
"You ...... What do you do? The man shouted in horror with his dagger.
Fang Zi'an patted the dust on his hands and said with a smile: "We should ask you this." Who are you? What have you been doing with us all the way? Who sent you? What is the intention? ”
The man in the long coat shouted, "We ...... Where have we followed you? We are passing, and we have no grievances with you in the near future, and we have no enmity in the near future......"
"Still denying it, what are you talking to him about? All of them were slaughtered, and the corpses sank into the river. Zhang Ruomei interrupted him coldly and reprimanded.
The man was startled and hurriedly shouted, "Fang Zi'an, in broad daylight, you dare to kill someone?" Don't you want to die? If you kill us, you won't be able to escape. ”
Fang Zi'an laughed and said: "Brother, you still said that you were just passing by, and even my name was called, do you still want to deny it?" ”
The man was shocked and speechless, and looked embarrassed. Suddenly, his face became gloomy, and he said coldly: "That's it, since that's the case, Lao Tzu won't talk nonsense with you." We're here to keep an eye on you, so what? Don't ask who we are, or whose orders we take. I dare to say it, but I'm afraid you won't dare to listen. If you let us go, we should have never happened. ”
"It's pretty sideways! Kill it. Zhao Ruomei said angrily.
Fang Zi'an waved his hand to signal Zhao Ruomei not to say much, and smiled at the man: "This brother, you don't want to be so crossy." My Zi'an is just an ordinary person, and I don't want to get into any trouble. If you're in it for money, I'm a poor bastard, and you won't be able to get any oil. If you're doing it for any other purpose, I don't have any secrets in me that you want. All I can tell you is that you don't have to waste time on me, and I don't want to go against anyone. But if you have to bother me and don't let me have a good birthday, then don't blame me for being rude. I will not embarrass you today, but when you return, tell me my words as they are, and let them keep an eye on me. ”
"Good! Fang Gongzi is quick to talk, and he is not entangled in the future. If you let us go, we won't come. We don't actually have any intentions on the other side's son, but we ...... I'm ordered to investigate your details. Actually, it's nothing. As long as Fang Gongzi doesn't cause trouble, we won't come to trouble you. ”
That man also saw the opportunity. At this moment, three of the four of them have fallen, and only one of them is left, so obviously he can't play tricks. The other party's skills also saw that they were very good, but they were not sure that they could win. Therefore, it is better to be aware of the times. If you really refuse to give up, you really want to throw your life here, and they will kill Shen He.
Fang Zi'an nodded and said, "Very good, I hope you don't break your word and don't push people too much." I know why you came, and I will go back and tell the person who called you to come that my Zi'an is thinking about the master-apprentice relationship, so he sent Zhou Shanchang to the earth. Other than that, he didn't have anything to do with it, and he didn't get involved in anything. If you refuse to let me go just because of this matter, and you have to force me to be cornered, then I have no choice but to fight with my life. Knowing that he can't fight, he has to spare a few lives. ”
It sounded like a dumb riddle, but the man in the long coat understood it clearly in his ears. They were indeed ordered to check on Fang Zi'an's details because Fang Zi'an was presiding over Zhou Junzheng's funeral, but they didn't plan to make others desperate. They were just secretly stalking, but they didn't expect to be discovered, so the meaning of stalking would be gone.
"I'll report your words, and if you keep to yourself, no one will trouble you." The man said.
Fang Zi'an nodded, nodded to Zhang Ruomei, and walked quickly to the alley. Zhang Ruomei seemed a little reluctant, but she could only leave. Fang Zi'an walked more than a dozen steps away, saw the dagger that fell to the ground, suddenly hooked his foot, and kicked the wooden handle of the dagger with force. The dagger flew over the head of the man in long clothes like lightning, and with a thud it was nailed to the trunk of a willow tree to the end of the stalk. The man in the long coat was startled, and a layer of sweat appeared on his body. This hand really shocked him, and it was only at this moment that he realized that the other party's words about pulling a few lives on his back were definitely not lies, but that he really had the ability.
