Chapter 135: Something Else (Part I)
Behind the wall is a garden with a small lotus pond, and the lotus flowers in the pond are competing to open at this time, competing with the flowers in the garden, and the blooming flowers are so lively. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After falling into the garden, seeing that there were no guards inside, Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't have any malice in coming in like this, if it caused any misunderstanding, it would not be a good thing to fight again. Now all he has to do is to go to the courtyard in front of him to identify himself, presumably the other party will always say hello.
But just when Yang Zhen passed through the bushes of flowers and trees in a majestic manner, and was about to come to the moon gate separated from the backyard, an alarm suddenly appeared in his heart. The body flashed to the left in a hurry at the alarm.
In the past half a year of practicing the Qingfeng Technique, Yang Zhen has already developed a thumb-thick airflow in his body that can be controlled according to his will, but he has not practiced the magic skill of opening mountains and splitting stones as mentioned in later martial arts novels. But this airflow can make Yang Zhen's reaction more rapid, often without the command of the brain, once the intention moves, the body can quickly make movements. At the same time, in addition to the always sensitive five senses, Yang Zhen also has an extremely accurate sixth sense, which can often give him an alarm before the crisis arrives.
This time, it was the sixth sense that sent out an alarm, and Yang Zhen dodged with it, just in time to dodge a rope that bounced up. No one would have thought that in this seemingly peaceful back garden, there is such a mechanism hidden, as long as one is not careful, he will inevitably be tripped by this rope and eat, so as to completely lose control.
Dodged the rope, but Yang Zhen did not relax, and then bent down again, and went to the left again, but dodged a net that fell from the sky. Obviously, the other party's two traps had been set up a long time ago, and they had even calculated the reaction of the people who were in the scheme.
However, Yang Zhen is not comparable to ordinary people, after dodging a move, he is still so vigilant that he narrowly dodged the second mechanism. This made a few people who had already been lying in ambush beside them, thinking that they could come up and catch the intruder at will, and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. But this did not delay their movements, a few soft clicks, the two knives had already attacked Yang Zhen left and right, and at the same time, the two spears were the first to come, rushing to Yang Zhen's front door.
At this time, Yang Zhen, who had just escaped the net, had just stood up, and when he saw these two well-coordinated spears, his heart was also terrified, and he hurriedly turned around and retreated, letting go of these two shots. Then there was another backward iron plate bridge, and the two quick knives that followed up and slashed at him narrowly flashed over.
Seeing that the four of them cooperated closely, and the first wave of attacks with the help of the geographical advantage agency did not even hurt the other party's fur, the four of them were surprised. And taking advantage of their stunnedness, Yang Zhen had already jumped out of the distance, and shouted: "Everyone, there is no malice in coming here, I was entrusted to come to see the Cao Gang brothers. ”
"Huh?" When the four of them heard him reveal their identities as others, their hearts tightened, and the killing intent in their eyes suddenly flourished. With a low shout, he wanted to kill again.
When Yang Zhen saw their appearance, he didn't dare to hold it up, and he had already pulled out two daggers from his waist for self-defense. Just now, he understood the tacit cooperation between the four of them, and knew that he could take advantage of the fact that the other party did not use all his strength to dodge a round of attacks, but it was impossible to repeat the old trick, especially when the four of them had already killed them.
Just when the four of them were approaching Yang Zhen with a hidden formation and were about to fight again, a low shout came from behind them: "Slow! It's your own people! ”
The five people who were about to fight together were stunned when they heard this, and Yang Zhen found that there was a rather burly man standing outside the Moon Gate over there. Obviously, he had no intention of watching around when he was entangled with these four people just now, so he didn't notice that someone was coming. And looking at the person's appearance again, Yang Zhen's tense body and nerves relaxed: "Brother Zhou! ”
The man also smiled and bowed his hand to Yang Zhen: "Lord Yang, don't come to harm!" He is Zhou Zhenying, the Cao Gang who was rescued by Yang Zhen on the official road in Shaoxing.
Walking on the path in the backyard, Yang Zhencai sighed slightly: "I didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary house was actually killing every step of the way." If it weren't for some ability, I was afraid that it would have to be planted in the hands of those four brothers. ”
"Hey, it's all just just in case, but I almost hurt Lord Yang, I'm really sorry." Zhou Zhenying said, and said with some doubts: "Why did you come back to Hangzhou again?" Didn't Lord Yang take Miss Yang to Zhuji for temporary refuge? Could it be ......" Thinking of what crisis Luo Yueying might have encountered, he suddenly became uneasy.
"That's why I broke into this place the next night. But don't worry, Miss Luo is very safe in Zhuji. Yang Zhen hurriedly said with relief: "I came here to be entrusted by Miss Luo." ”
Hearing that Luo Yueying was safe, Zhou Zhenying breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned again: "Did Miss let you come to Hangzhou?" She...... Do you know what's going on here? ”
While the two were talking, they had come to a hall, and Zhou Zhenying ordered the people waiting there to serve refreshments, and at the same time led Yang Zhen in. After taking a seat, Yang Zhencai nodded and said: "Yes, it was Miss Luo's personal maid Lanqin who brought the news...... and then told what had happened, and then said: "In fact, before knowing that the accident happened, Miss Luo was already very worried, and she wanted to go back to Hangzhou several times, but she was persuaded by me." This time, she was even more stimulated, if I hadn't forced her to stay, and persuaded her to come to see what was going on instead, I was afraid that it would not be me Yang Zhen who came back. ”
"I see, thank you so much Lord Yang!" Zhou Zhenying said solemnly.
Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, "I haven't done anything yet, how can I afford this thank you." ”
"Lord Yang can have this kind of help, which has made me feel warm. Moreover, this time I thank you not because you were willing to help in this matter, but because you dissuaded Miss from taking the risk in Hangzhou. If she really came to Hangzhou, she would inevitably be recognized by someone with a heart, and at that time, we would be passive. ”
"I also thought about it, I was worried that she would be in danger when she came to Hangzhou, so I ......" Speaking of this, Yang Zhen suddenly came back to his senses and heard the other meanings contained in the other party's words: "Could it be that Brother Zhou is not passive now?" ”
Zhou Zhenying didn't expect that his unintentional words would make Yang Zhen hear the clues, his face was obviously stiff, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Just when the hall seemed a little deserted, a voice sounded from outside the door: "Lord Yang is really unusual, he knows what he knows, which makes Peng admire it!" A somewhat obese man slowly paced into the hall at the sound of voices.
Yang Zhen didn't recognize this person, but when he heard him claim that his surname was Peng, he expected to be the owner of this house. So he arched his hand and said: "I have seen Peng Yuanwai, Your Excellency has praised it falsely, and I don't deserve your praise like this." ”
The obsessive man smiled: "Lord Yang doesn't have to be too modest, you still know about the few major things you did in Hangzhou before." Moreover, this evaluation is not from me, but from the leader of the Luo gang. Saying that, he patted his head again and said with a smile: "Look at my brain, I forgot to introduce myself, in Xia Pengshun, I am just a small businessman in Hangzhou." ”
"Peng Shun?" Yang Zhen couldn't help but be moved when he heard this name, as long as he had stayed in Hangzhou for a while, he had never heard of this big businessman. He was not a humble businessman, but the largest merchant in Hangzhou, accounting for more than sixty percent of all the goods such as silk, tea, and porcelain that could be sold overseas to earn a lot of silver.
Unexpectedly, this big businessman who has always been praised in Hangzhou is so respectful, and what Yang Zhen didn't expect was that he actually had a lot to do with the Cao Gang!
Seeing Yang Zhen's stunned look, Peng Shun grinned: "It seems that Lord Yang can't imagine that I have such a friendship with the Luo Gang Leader, right?" ”
This person can do a great business, naturally has its own advantages, this can see through people's minds at a glance is one of them. Yang Zhen didn't feel too strange about this, but just smiled: "It's really surprising that it's called." After all, businessmen and charlatans always seem a little out of place. ”
"Lord Yang's words are a little bad." Peng Shun shook his head and said: "If a businessman wants to do business unimpeded, he must have a good relationship with people from all walks of life, such as the government, such as the gangs on the road. And a businessman like me, even a big gang like the Cao Gang will help in the back. But because we've always been careful, we've never been noticed. Now, even Lord Yang of Jinyiwei doesn't know about this, and it seems that we have indeed done a good job. ”
Seeing Peng Shun's smug smile, Yang Zhen also smiled. But soon, his smile narrowed: "In this way, it seems that the guilt of the Luo gang leader is not as simple as I know. Peng Yuanwai, I don't know if this view is correct? ”
Zhou Zhenying's complexion changed slightly, but this seemingly harmless Peng Shun was still full of smiles, unmoved by Yang Zhen's words: "Oh, how can you see it?" ”
"Because of your attitude. Since you are closely related to the Luo gang leader, now that he has been imprisoned for many days, you should be desperate to save him. But now, both you and Brother Zhou seem to be extremely calm, which is not logical. It was only when I mentioned that Miss Luo was almost coming to Hangzhou that Brother Zhou felt a little uneasy. Obviously, in your opinion, the Luo gang leader who was imprisoned for the crime of smuggling salt and iron is actually very safe. Even, for you, it is very easy to get him out. I wonder if I'm right to guess? Yang Zhen said, a pair of eyes constantly swept back and forth from the faces of the two to grasp the psychology of the two.
Peng Shun couldn't help but stroke his palm and said, "Okay, this time I'm really convinced by Lord Yang." Just by seeing this side, you can see that these many things are indeed amazing! ”
"Then please don't hide it anymore, what's going on?" Yang Zhen leaned in.
