Chapter 2 Thousands of people and thousands of faces, hands and eyes reach the sky

He admired this sentence without knowing whether he was alive or dead, and he was a little distracted.

Of course, Gu Jiantang heard it, stared at him indifferently, and frowned a little tighter.

"You'll have one more chance to speak."

Ren Zhen came to his senses, only then did he realize his killing intent, and quickly replied, "Who am I?" I'm an orphan who makes a living by driving a car. But you're like a frightened bird now, and it's normal to look suspicious of everyone, and it's normal not to believe me. ”

He grabbed the reins with one hand, jumped off the donkey cart, and dusted off the coarse cloth coat with his hand, "If you doubt me, you can choose to leave, and I don't have the ability to follow you, so you should be able to rest assured, right?" ”

Gu Jiantang was slightly stunned, looking at Ren Zhen, who had given the eviction order, his face was cloudy.

"Before coming to the Southern Jin Dynasty, my secret report from the Yunyao Sword Sect said that you have been driving out of the city for many years, and you are very familiar with the captains of the Nine Gates. In case of desperation, only you are the most sure to get me out of town. That's why I found you. ”

Ren Zhen sighed, bowed his head and stood under the car, without a word.

This attitude is obvious, whether you believe me or not is your business, and who I know is my business. As for whether I want to send you out of the city, that's my business.

Gu Jiantang rubbed his knuckles, his eyes as deep as an abyss.

"I, the top grade of the Eight Realms, the head of the sword of the Northern Dynasty. You, the first realm, are so weak that you are not as good as ants. If I want to kill you, I don't even have to make a move, just a look. ”

He didn't say any more. When dealing with smart people, you have to know how to stop at the point, not to mention, after all, it is he who is under someone else's roof and it is unwise to stiffen the relationship.

"You mean, either send you or kill me?"

Ren Zhen was so astute that he immediately realized all the possibilities, and said with a wry smile: "What if you kill me again after sending you away?" Haven't I worked in vain? It's even worse to die in a foreign country......"

Gu Jiantang's eyes narrowed slightly, "Do you have a choice?" ”

Hearing this, Ren Zhen clenched his fist in his sleeve and bit his lip hard.

"From the moment I saw you, I guessed your identity. Just now under the plane tree, I could have taken the opportunity to run for my life, or I could have raised a warning, but I didn't do it, because I knew in my heart that high risk would have high reward. ”

He jumped into the car, but he didn't rush again, his back to Gu Jiantang, and he couldn't see his expression.

"Now that you've identified you, let's renegotiate the price. I'm going to take a big risk, I might be killed by the government or you. A few pennies will definitely not be able to send me away. ”

Gu Jiantang sighed, his expression gloomy.

As a generation of grandmasters, he was so downtrodden that he would be robbed by a young man in the market.

"What do you want?"

Ren Zhen obviously had already calculated it, and blurted out, "Lonely Nine Swords!" ”

The muscles at the corners of Gu Jiantang's mouth twitched sharply, trying his best to restrain his emotions. If it weren't for the embarrassment of the situation, he would have immediately beheaded the boy into powder.

Ren Zhen felt the chaotic air flow in the carriage, and hurriedly explained: "I want your True Martial Sword more, but the thing is dead, you can ...... it at any time Take it away. ”

He originally wanted to say robbery, but when the words came to his lips, he changed it to take.

Gu Jiantang's face was covered with frost, "That's why you chose to ask for the exercises." Even if you can only look at it for a short time, the memories hidden in your mind will still be your own after all, and others can't take them away. ”

Ren Zhen nodded, his eyes shining.

"The Nine Swords of Loneliness are my original mastery, and it seems that you have some knowledge. I can give it to you, but you have to think it through, so that I have a reason to kill you! ”

As he spoke, Gu Jiantang took out a wooden card from his sleeve and put it in front of Ren Zhen for him to choose.

Ren Zhen understood the deep meaning of the words, and still took the wooden card without hesitation.

You can think of it the same way. I'm so talented that I might be able to quickly develop this sword technique? Or maybe they will impress you and accept me as a disciple? Genius is hard to find, hehe, you may not be willing to do it. ”

Gu Jiantang sneered: "You are a genius? ”

Ren Zhen nodded vigorously, looking proud.

"Needless to say? If I'm not talented, there's no need for you to kill me. How can a worldly ant like me, who is beyond my strength, threaten you, a Kunpeng who has been soaring for nine days! ”

Gu Jiantang smiled reluctantly, as if his praise was somewhat useful, but the hatred for this young man in his heart had reached the extreme.

"If I hadn't checked your details beforehand, I would never have believed that someone as smart as you would choose to gamble with his life and make money from me. Is it worth it to live and die? ”

Ren Zhen should not have heard the mystery in the words, and raised his leather whip, unspeakably proud.

"Each other, only smart people like us dare to make a desperate bet and risk the world's condemnation! Even a dignified sword saint dares to gamble with his life, I, a good-for-nothing little character, what else can't I afford to lose? ”

Gu Jiantang sneered, staring at the city gate that gradually became clear in his sight, "People are soft-spoken, just by virtue of your humble status, can you really deceive the city gate?" ”

He could clearly perceive that there were countless powerful auras lurking on the city wall in the distance. Since that great war, the Southern Dynasty has not hesitated to mobilize all its cultivators to monitor the entire capital.

Even if he exposes his whereabouts, he will immediately fall into a siege the next moment, and he will be seriously injured, and it will be difficult to escape.

If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have made a desperate bet on Ren Zhen.

Seeing his expression as if he was facing a great enemy, Ren Zhen smiled, and he couldn't show any nervousness.

"Now you know you're scared? If you knew today, why would you be alone in danger? I'm more curious than anyone in the world, what do you want to do when you come to Jinling? Is it really to find the smoke and rain sword hidden? ”

Gu Jiantang pretended to be shocked, "Just now others praised you as Jinling Bai Xiaosheng, and I was still very disdainful." I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable and know the mysterious Smoke and Rain Sword Hide! ”

As he said this, an imperceptible fierce light flashed from his eyes. He had already planned to kill this fool who thought he was clever as soon as he left the city.

Ren Zhen smiled without saying a word, pretending to glance around.

Gu Jiantang said tentatively: "Jinling is sheng, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there is a peerless ghost talent living in the city, it is difficult for ordinary people to see his true face, you should have heard of it, right?" ”

Ren Zhen was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment, raised his head and said: "Are you referring to the legendary embroidery shop owner who has thousands of people and thousands of faces, and his hands and eyes reach the sky'?" ”

Gu Jiantang nodded and continued to probe: "Yes, this is the person." How much do you know about him? ”

Ren Zhen turned sideways, slowed down the car, and couldn't help but start showing off his knowledge again.

"It is no exaggeration to say that he is the most mysterious person in the entire Jinling, and even the emperor can't compare. Five years ago, he stepped into the rivers and lakes, as if out of thin air, and became famous overnight, but no one had ever seen him at all! ”

Gu Jiantang looked out of the car, his eyes wandering. In the past six months, he searched all the streets and alleys of Jinling, but never found any clues about this person.

"The emperor himself set up an embroidery workshop to spy on confidential information and collect all kinds of information. And he, who has learned from the past and the present, naturally became the owner of the workshop and experienced the overall situation. According to legend, there is nothing in the world that he does not know, and there is no news that he can't get! ”

Listening to this miraculous legend, Gu Jiantang was a little impatient. These things have long been a household name, and even he, a Tang man, is familiar with them.

"No one knows the true address of the embroidery shop, and it is even more difficult to find the owner himself. However, if you want to inquire about the news from the embroidery workshop, it is not difficult. Just put the note and quote in an oiled paper bag and throw it into the moat. ”

Ren Zhen spat and fluttered, his eyebrows fluttering, "If they accept your deal, in the afternoon of three days, there will be a paper boat with your name on it floating on the river, and the answer you want will be written inside!" ”

"These rules are well known to everyone, and I don't need you to teach me. If he was willing to help me out, I wouldn't have to come on this trip myself! ”

Gu Jiantang was a little disappointed, but fortunately, he didn't dare to expect that he could get a big secret from the mouth of a young man in the market.

Ren Zhen said with emotion: "Who in the world could have guessed that you were originally looking for someone......"

Gu Jiantang's eyebrows trembled, but he didn't answer, and the murderous intent in his eyes became more and more vigorous.

Ren Zhen seemed to know nothing about his situation, and blinked curiously, "What is the puzzle you want to solve?" I'm a little smart, and I might be able to help you! ”

Gu Jiantang looked at Ren Zhen playfully, as if he was looking at a dead man. Dead people don't leak secrets.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you. I want to inquire about someone's whereabouts, and you're right, I'm here to find someone. ”

Ren Zhen was stunned, he didn't expect to get such an answer. Gu Jiantang's ultimate goal turned out to be to find another person through the embroidery shop owner.

"You just said it yourself, life and death are of the utmost importance. Who is that man? Can make you desperate to find it, how deep is your enmity? ”

Gu Jiantang closed his eyes, his eyebrows gathered. From the time he got into the car until now, he has been trying his best to suppress his killing intent.

Ren Zhen's words just now completely touched his scales.

"Where should I hide? Are you really going to let me sit upright and go out of town like this? He didn't want to say more nonsense, and asked coldly.

Ren Zhen didn't look back, and replied confidently: "That's right." They don't search the carriages. ”

Gu Jiantang wanted to speak and stopped, but he was still silent.

After a while, the donkey cart finally arrived at the city gate checkpoint.

The one who stood in the way was the famous captain, who pressed the knife on his waist, looking at Ren Zhen who ran over and nodded, with contempt in his eyes.

"Dog, don't you know that the whole city is strictly forbidden and you are not allowed to leave the city?"

Ren Zhen stepped forward with a smile, leaned over and whispered: "The noble man forgets a lot, you should forget, the third lady of the house ordered me to pick up her cousin into the city......"

Only then did Du Wei suddenly remember that his cousin was indeed coming to Jinling in the next few days. Similar chores in his house have always been sent to Ren Zhen, who is poor and cheap.

He glared, kicked Ren Zhen out of the way, and scolded fiercely: "Don't get out of here!" Delay the errand, see if Lao Tzu doesn't smoke you to death! ”

Ren Zhen was like an amnesty, and hurriedly drove the donkey cart forward, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

He hadn't gone far when suddenly, an icy outcry came from behind, making his whole body tremble.

"Stop! Lift the curtains! ”

At the same time, a large number of sergeants came in and besieged the donkey carts.
