Chapter Ninety-Six: The Situation

Although the situation changed rapidly, Lu Heng was still not shocked, but seemed extraordinarily calm.

At the moment when the killer pretending to be the shopkeeper stiffened, Lu Heng had already held the front of the table with both hands.

Almost at the same time, the killer shattered the wooden disc and took out the short sword. Lu Heng also exerted his greatest strength so far to overturn the table. blocked in front of him, and at the same time, he reached out to pull Bai Suyan beside him and retreated together.

However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was empty.

Lu Heng was a little annoyed in his heart, and secretly scolded Bai Suyan for not knowing what to do. It's all this time, and what are you running around.

At this time, he really forgot that the fake son next to him was a super master with peerless martial arts. just regarded her as a weak woman, and in a hurry, he wanted to run away with her.

After a quick sudden, Lu Heng was inevitably a little anxious.

In a hurry, he turned his head to take a look, but found that Bai Suyan had rushed to his front without knowing when. The morning breeze was fierce, and the placket of her clothes whirred in the wind. Her beautiful eyes were cold. In her hand, the Qiushui Sword was horizontal in the air, the cold light flickered, and the sparkle was shining. The blade of the sword had already penetrated deep through the table.

The table seemed to be fixed on the killer's chest, and the blade passed through the table, effortlessly piercing the killer's heart.

Strands of blood spurted from the wound on the table.

On the other hand, this preemptive killer, the short sword in his hand has not yet been raised, his mouth is foaming with blood, looking at Bai Suyan's eyes full of stunned fear, his body is shaking, but he can't fall to the ground.

Bai Suyan glanced at him calmly, his wrist shook slightly, and with a bang, he pulled the sword out of the killer's chest.

With a bang, the table that was on top of the air fell to the ground and instantly split into a pile of broken wood. At the same time, the killer spurted a mouthful of blood from his mouth, plopped up, and fell backwards.

The dagger in his hand slammed to the ground, and then jumped into the gutter by the side of the road, bubbled with a clatter, and then sank into the gutter.

Lu Heng, who was about to pick up the murder weapon as evidence, rolled his eyes speechlessly when he saw this scene.

Turning his head, he coughed at Bai Suyan, who put the sword in the scabbard, and said, "Let's go, or it will be seen by others, and it will be a lot of trouble!" ”

Bai Suyan turned her head, glanced at him lightly, and nodded slightly.

Before leaving, Lu Heng glanced back at the wontons scattered all over the ground, pursed his lips, and said with a little regret in his heart, but he was a sincere person, and he actually gave thirty wontons for ten yuan.

Hey, that's a pity. I haven't eaten yet.

Taking advantage of the slight dew in the morning light, the town is rarely crowded. The two of them went to the dock without hurry, hired a small boat, and followed the river downstream.

After walking for a while, Lu Heng thought about it, and then let the boatman dock. After sending the boatman away, they changed to a larger boat, and the two headed towards Jiangning.

Bai Suyan, who had been quietly following Lu Heng, saw Lu Heng's cautious and extremely professional anti-reconnaissance ability, and he was even more curious.

What did this scholar do before? This ability to evade investigation is even stronger than himself.

To be honest, Bai Suyan didn't expect to change ships just now.

After Lu Heng explained to him with a smile the time difference and some knowledge of anti-reconnaissance, she realized that this change of boat, the fast capture of Chibi Town, would never want to track down the two of them.

Of course, before getting on the boat, Lu Heng embarrassedly asked Bai Suyan for some money. Bought two sets of clothes. After the two changed into new robes, they got on the boat.

At the bow of the boat, the two stood side by side. The river breeze blows, the river is turbulent, and the boat travels for thousands of miles.

The placket of the two moved with the wind, and the lupine in their hands buckled their chests. It's really two beautiful men with good manners. Especially Bai Suyan, who changed into a white robe, although he was not dressed without makeup, but his extremely beautiful eyes and fair and handsome cheeks made the boatmen on the ship feel some dirty thoughts in their hearts.

If Lao Tzu is good at this, he will spoil him!

Bai Suyan occasionally glanced at it, and he could see the silver eyes of those boatmen, and his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he was a little annoyed. Turning his head, he was even angrier. I saw that the scholar who was still standing next to him just now was also hiding far away at this time, and he looked at himself with a very strange gaze. It was like being a man with a pestilence.

"What are you doing?" Bai Suyan took a deep breath and stared at him coldly.

Lu Heng gently opened the folding fan, shook it on his chest, and said seriously: "Avoid suspicion!" ”

Avoid arousing suspicion? What to avoid? Bai Suyan was a little puzzled, just staring at Lu Heng coldly, waiting for his explanation.

"Hey, it's just because you're too graceful, and the jade tree is in the wind. Occasionally, I glanced at it, even if I knew that my son was a man, it couldn't help but make people feel excited. It's really not good to have Longyang in the bottom, so I will stand farther away. So that others don't misunderstand, the two of us only see what abnormal male-male relationship there is! Lu Heng looked ahead, and said what he thought in his heart with a solemn face.

"You ......" Hearing the scholar's head full of silver thoughts, Bai Suyan's eyes were dizzy. But seeing that the other party seemed to be relying on him, he knew that he would not beat him. With a serious face, he said these vulgar words. Bai Suyan was suspicious for a while.

The scholar who was in ruins, talking and laughing, was the silver thief in front of him?

Bai Suyan took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. glanced at him coldly, closed his eyes, and said coldly: "You, come here, I have something to ask you!" ”

Lu Heng shook his head very resolutely, and he didn't even look like he could kill me. Then he dodged a few steps and looked at the rolling river under his feet: "Say it, I'll listen!" ”

Bai Suyan was so angry in her heart that she couldn't wait to rush over and kick him into the Yangtze River.

Helplessly, there were many people on the boat, and he wanted to rely on him to do things. I had to suppress the anger in my heart, turned my head, glanced at him coldly, and said lightly: "I'll count to three!" ”

"Stop!" Lu Heng looked like he was defeated, and hurriedly stopped. Then, seeing a triumphant smile on the woman's face, he sighed and shook his head with a wry smile.

Hey, big fists are the truth, it's really a peerless quote that has remained unchanged through the ages.

After walking to the woman's side, Lu Heng glanced at her, smiled and asked, "What's the matter!" ”

In fact, from the moment he killed the killer, until now, Bai Suyan has always been like he wants to talk and stops. Even if she didn't say it, Lu Heng could actually guess the problem in her heart.

"The killer is coming for you!" Bai Suyan was really not used to it, so he shook the fan on a cold day, closed the folding fan and held it in his hand. Looking at the rolling river in front of me and the towering mountains on both sides, he seemed to be talking to himself.

Lu Heng turned his head, glanced at Bai Suyan who was looking ahead, nodded with a smile, and said, "I know!" “

"You don't seem worried! Why? Bai Suyan looked at Lu Heng's uneasy look, felt a little curious in her heart, and asked softly.

Lu Heng smiled and shook his head, but did not speak. "What, I said it wrong?" Bai Suyan looked at him and asked with a frown. "Is it useful to worry?" Lu Heng turned his head and looked at her with a smile.

Bai Suyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is also true!" “

The two stood side by side in the bow of the boat, still blown by the cold wind on the river. After saying this, there was a silence.

After a while, Bai Suyan said to herself: "I don't like to owe favors!" ”

Lu Heng glanced at her and smiled and waited for her words.

"So!" Bai Suyan turned his head, looked at Lu Heng quietly, and asked, "Do you need my help?" ”

Seeing that Lu Heng turned his head and looked at him in surprise, Bai Suyan turned his head away, didn't look at him, and just said lightly: "It's an exchange." You help me, and I will help you! We don't owe each other! ”

"Then you still owe me!" Lu Heng rolled his eyes and said with a wry smile: "One is Jiangning's strong side, and the other is the minister who is now in power, these two people are not heavyweights." is to sell meat, and the other party is much more expensive than Jiangning's! ”

"Do you know who sent the killer?" Bai Suyan didn't want to pursue Lu Heng's ridicule, but looked at him curiously and asked.

Lu Heng nodded, smiled, and said, "I probably know who it is!" ”

Su Guangyi, this person may not have a big surname. Although among the people he has offended so far, Su Guangyi's strength seems to be the greatest. However, this man, although narrow-minded, is also very sinister. However, he is still an unpopular character. What he lacks is wrist and courage. The reason why Lu Heng has never taken him to heart is that he knows that this person is not a difficult character to deal with.

Otherwise, with his ability in the Jiangning cloth market, he should have been promoted to a high position a long time ago. Now that it has been more than ten years, there is a reason why I have been staying in this place with a big palm in Jiangning. Perhaps the current emperor also saw the shortcomings of this person.

The remaining person is the head of the Liu family, Liu Yuanyi.

In his previous life, Lu Heng had been engaged in strategic planning for decades, and among the people he had dealt with. Aside from politicians who play with power, businessmen are definitely the most daring.

These people are mercenary, and everything is like money. As long as the profits are big enough, there is hardly anything they dare not do. Urging the political axe to start a war, studying the virus, anything can happen to a businessman.

When things are in crisis for their own lives, businessmen definitely have the courage to take risks.

And Liu Yuanyi is one of these crazy businessmen.

This starts with his insatiable stealing of other people's trade secrets and his audacity to run rampant in the Jiangning silk market. In the end, he dared to target the famous palace of the year, which shows his boldness.

Although there is support from the Su government, it is just an excuse or a ladder. Even without Su Guangyi's behind-the-scenes support, with Liu Yuanyi's surname, he would have come to this point sooner or later.

It's just that no matter how vicious his wrist is, he is just a poor worm that has fallen into a trap.

Feel the gradual winter in the cold wind. Lu Heng tightened the clothes on his body, thinking to himself, that's almost it.

Since more than a month ago, the palace sent people to Beijing to deliver letters. By now, the Holy Decree is almost in Jiangning. During the bonfire two days ago, I heard Wu Ningyuan talk about Tokyo, and he inadvertently mentioned the emperor's attitude towards Jiang Ning at present.

At that time, Wu Ningyuan and Hong Quan sighed with embarrassment, saying things like His Majesty's kindness and longing for Wang Jianfei. Then, in unison, the two of them praised His Majesty for his kindness and wisdom. It is really a generation of Ming Jun.

It's just that Lu Heng praised these two people pretending to be a little funny.

The emperor may really remember Wang Jianfei's support back then, but the emperor's anger, in Lu Heng's view, is still a performance of the emperor's mental skills.

He took advantage of the Wang family to clearly convey his firm attitude to the scholar class. That is the rise of the Shu people, which is the trend of the times. Anyone who dares to resist is a dead end.

Unfortunately, Liu Yuanyi was very tragic and innocent to be caught in the political whirlpool of the two major classes of the Great Zhou. As the losing side, Liu Yuanyi and Liufu, who have no status, will inevitably end up with a tragic result of being shattered.
