Chapter 9: The Fog is Hard to Guess

It is said that after Shi Yongning returned home, he did not rush to report the situation to Jiang Xinghe, but came to his room alone to check the injury, and by the way, he thought about how to explain to Jiang Xinghe next.

Shi Yongning, who was sitting on the bed and healing himself, became more and more scared the more he thought about it, it seemed that he was in a catastrophe this time. Not only did he not do a good job of the things Jiang Xinghe explained, but he also caused some unnecessary trouble, if Jiang Xinghe knew about it, he would have to peel off his skin even if he didn't die. But the ugly daughter-in-law always has to see her in-laws, and it is not a way to delay it like this. After thinking about it, Shi Yongning still decided to muster up the courage to meet Jiang Xinghe.

Shi Yongning did not enter Jiang Xinghe's house immediately after coming to the outside, but hid outside the door to look.

He found that Jiang Xinghe was sitting on the main seat in the room and drinking tea, judging from his demeanor, Jiang Xinghe seemed to be in a good mood now. In this way, Shi Yongning's heart is much more down-to-earth than before. So he was about to enter the house, but Jiang Xinghe had already discovered that he was outside.

"What are you sneaking out of the house for? Don't come in yet! Shi Yongning didn't dare to hesitate when he heard Jiang Xinghe's shout, and immediately entered the house.

Jiang Xinghe saw Shi Yongning's crane arm coming to see him, and said in shock: "What's going on!" ”

"If you go back to your lordship, your subordinates were injured by a person named Liu Ruotian." Shi Yongning covered his right arm and replied with a painful expression.

"Liu Ruotian? What Liu Ruotian? Jiang Xinghe thought about it, was shocked, and asked, "But that Liu Xinyu's son?" ”

"I think it's him." Shi Yongning guessed.

Although Jiang Xinghe had never seen Liu Ruotian with his own eyes, because the Guogong Mansion and the General's Mansion were not far away, Jiang Xinghe had also heard a little about Liu Ruotian.

"I heard that Liu Ruotian is just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old hairy boy, although your kung fu is not first-class, but you are by no means incompetent, how could you be injured by him so easily?" Jiang Xinghe was very puzzled by this.

"My subordinates don't know what's going on, I have long heard that Liu Ruotian is very demonic, and he has been different since he was a child. As early as five years ago...... "Shi Yongning wanted to speak and stopped.

"What about five years ago?" Somehow, at this time, Jiang Xinghe suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Under Jiang Xinghe's repeated questioning, Shi Yongning had no choice but to tell him the ins and outs of the injury to his right arm. I don't want Jiang Xinghe to be furious after hearing this, because Shi Yongning's actions are likely to bring even more huge trouble to himself.

"You fool who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures, I didn't expect to cause these disasters behind your back!" Jiang Xinghe was furious, and then turned his face and said, "How did I do with your affairs?" ”

"The subordinates are incompetent, the lady and the man seem to be deliberately guarding against others, and I haven't heard any valuable clues." Shi Yongning hurriedly knelt on the ground, he was very afraid that Jiang Xinghe would punish him for this, so he immediately bent his knees and begged for mercy.

Shi Yongning knelt on the ground and thought for a while and said, "But...... It seemed that the lady knew the man. Moreover, Madame also deliberately explained that she would not let me mention this matter to the adults, which seemed to be very mysterious. ”

After Jiang Xinghe listened to Shi Yongning's story, he slowly picked up the tea on the table and tasted it carefully, and then got up with a folding fan in his hand and came to Shi Yongning.

"How's the injury on your right arm?" Jiang Xinghe asked Shi Yongning in an extremely kind tone.

Shi Yongning was still wondering, how could Jiang Xinghe suddenly care about himself. After hesitating for a while, he said, "It's nothing serious, it's just a dislocation, just ask a doctor to pick it up in a while." As he spoke, Shi Yongning touched his injured right arm.

"Doctor, please? I don't think so! Saying that, Jiang Xinghe turned around and quickly connected Shi Yongning's injured right arm with his right hand, with considerable strength.

"How? Does it hurt? Jiang Xinghe bent down and put his right hand on Shi Yongning's right shoulder and asked.

"No...... It doesn't hurt, thank you, sir! ”

From the hideous and painful expression on Jiang Xinghe's face when he took Shi Yongning's right arm, it is not difficult to see that Shi Yongning must have been quite painful at that time. But Shi Yongning didn't dare to complain at all, even if that feeling was enough to make him feel painful, he still had to force a smile, because he was timid and afraid of things, and he would never dare to be wild in front of Jiang Xinghe.

When he was young, Shi Yongning, who had been kneeling on the ground and didn't even dare to take a breath, finally got Jiang Xinghe's permission to leave his room and return to Li Shuqi's side. Because Jiang Xinghe was afraid that Shi Yongning would arouse Li Shuqi's suspicion if he stayed here for a long time, but he didn't know that Li Shuqi had already become suspicious of him and began to take precautions.

It turned out that Shi Yongning was actually Jiang Xinghe's confidant, and he had been in charge of monitoring Li Shuqi's every move for many years, and then secretly reported the news to Jiang Xinghe. Jiang Xinghe and Li Shuqi are husband and wife, why are they so defensive against each other? There must be a lot of writing behind this.

The reason why Jiang Xinghe was so nervous was because he was afraid that a shocking secret that had been hidden for many years and was little known would be exposed, and this secret was inextricably linked with the Li family's siblings! And when Shi Yongning showed Li Yuqi's portrait to Jiang Xinghe for inspection, Jiang Xinghe felt a little uneasy, and always felt that this person was a little similar to Li Shuqi.

Because Li Yuqi was still a child when Jiang Xinghe searched the Li family that year, and Jiang Xinghe never saw Li Yuqi again after that, Jiang Xinghe could only start the investigation from the portrait drawn by Li Shuqi. The immediate task now is to determine the true identity of the man in the painting as soon as possible, so that he can adapt to the situation.

Just when Jiang Xinghe was at a loss for this, he was told by Shi Yongning that Li Yuqi was living in the general's mansion at the moment.

It turned out that after Li Yuqi left the teahouse that day, Shi Yongning secretly ordered someone to follow Li Yuqi to find out where he lived.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. As the time gradually ripened, a huge conspiracy of insidious and vicious was quietly born.

Early one morning, Jiang Xinghe instructed his cronies to disguise themselves as beggars to come to the gate of the general's mansion and handed an anonymous letter to the officers and soldiers guarding the gate of the mansion. Later, the officer and soldier handed over the letter to Li Yuqi, who was drinking tea and chatting with Liu Ruotian in the living room at this time. And when Li Yuqi opened the envelope and saw the contents of the letter, his face suddenly turned blue, and the hand holding the letter kept trembling.

According to the letter, Li Yuqi's parents did not die of illness, but of death. If he wanted to know the ins and outs of this matter, he would like to meet him outside the South Gate of Jinchengfang in Chang'an City at the beginning of three days. At that time, a white flag planted on the ground in front of the square gate will be the number, and if the white flag is found at that time, then there will be people. And the person in the letter asked him to go alone, not to tell anyone, otherwise he would bear the consequences.

Liu Ruotian saw that Li Yuqi looked a little flustered after reading the letter, so he asked what the reason was, but Li Yuqi said that it was okay. Although Li Yuqi was trying his best to hide the subtle changes in his heart, Liu Ruotian still saw some clues from his words and deeds.

Since then, Liu Ruotian has begun to pay close attention to Li Yuqi's every move. And the night before he was invited to the appointment, Li Yuqi, who was very worried, tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night, and his series of abnormal behaviors also made Liu Ruotian more convinced of his previous speculations. So late that night, Liu Ruotian, who saw Li Yuqi coming out of the wall, also sneaked out of the general's mansion in the same way, and followed Li Yuqi to the place mentioned in the letter.

Li Yuqi, who arrived as promised, saw a white flag in front of him from a distance, and knew that the person who invited him had arrived. However, he searched the surroundings, but there was no trace of the person, and he became a little overwhelmed for a while. After a long time, Li Yuqi thought that the man would not come, and he was just about to leave, but suddenly heard someone behind him shouting his name.

"Are you that Li Yuqi?" After Li Yuqi turned around, he saw a big man in a night suit and covering his face with a black cloth in front of him.

"It's here, may I ask if Your Excellency is ......" After confirming Li Yuqi's identity, the big man revealed his true form, and then showed the steel knife hidden behind him.

Before Li Yuqi could react, Dahan had already put the knife on Li Yuqi's neck.

"This strong man, I don't know you, we have no grievances in the past, why do you want to treat me like this?" Li Yuqi became a little helpless in the face of this sudden change.

I just heard the big man say to Li Yuqi unhurriedly: "You don't need to know this, you just need to know that your sister is about to go down to accompany you, and that's enough." ”

Although Li Yuqi said that he had learned a few tricks in the past few years, he encountered this situation at this time, and it was not easy to get out. I saw that the big man immediately raised his knife and was about to cut Li Yuqi's body, Li Yuqi thought that he was going to die so inexplicably, but he didn't expect that at this critical moment, Liu Ruotian appeared in time.

I only heard a whoosh, and a wooden stick suddenly flew from the side of the two, instantly knocking down the steel knife in the big man's hand. Both of them were very surprised when they saw this, and neither of them knew what was going on.

The big man looked around and shouted, "What a person! ”

When Dahan turned around again, he found that Li Yuqi had been rescued by an unknown man. Li Yuqi saw that it was Liu Ruotian coming, and was about to say his name but was stopped by Liu Ruotian.

"I didn't sleep at home in the middle of the night, but I was wielding a broken knife here, what do you want to do? Murder? Liu Ruotian questioned Dahan.

"Who are you? How dare you mind our business! Dahan said angrily.

"I'm your grandfather!" Liu Ruotian said with a smile.

"Who are you? At such a young age, he dared to call himself grandpa! ”

This sentence completely angered the big man, so he swung his knife at Liu Ruotian to kill, but the big man was actually defeated by Liu Ruotian. So the angry man used his whistle to recruit dozens of masked killers, intending to kill them.

"Yo, it looks like you're here prepared! If I don't show up tonight, won't I be disappointed by your hard work? Liu Ruotian said to the killers.

"Less nonsense! Today I will show you the serious consequences of this meddling! Dahan's tone and attitude were very arrogant.

Liu Ruotian immediately told Li Yuqi to hide aside, while he himself had to fight. Li Yuqi was still worried about him at first, but what happened next made Li Yuqi gradually dispel this idea.

Chang'an City under the cover of night is extremely cold, and the biting cold wind blows in the face, which can't help but make people shiver. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew extremely quickly, causing Liu Ruotian's long flowing hair, as well as the clothes of all the people present and the dust and mud on the ground, to move in one direction. After a while, the wind weakened, and the killers surrounded Liu Ruotian, waiting for an opportunity to move.

I saw Liu Ruotian bend down and pick up the round wooden stick that was nearly two meters long and about three centimeters in diameter just now, and stood there with a calm expression, as if he was confident. He pestled one end of the stick to the ground and put the other end on his chin with both hands. Perhaps because of lack of sleep, Liu Ruotian was still yawning in his mouth at this time, and he also freed up a hand from time to time to rub his eyes, not taking the killers in his eyes at all.

Suddenly, a whirlwind suddenly rose, and the sand and stones rolled up by the wind fascinated Liu Ruotian and couldn't open his eyes. Seeing that the time had come, the killers swarmed up.

Li Yuqi saw that something was wrong and wanted to rush to help, but because his kung fu was not good, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but add unnecessary trouble to Liu Ruotian, so he could only keep reminding Liu Ruotian on the side.

Liu Ruotian saw that everyone was coming, and he didn't mess up at all. He propped himself up with the stick he clenched in his hand, and spun several times in mid-air, kicking everyone to the ground in the blink of an eye. The killers who fell to the ground one after another did not give in, but still rushed up one by one, regardless of life or death.

At this time, a killer waved a steel knife and wanted to cut Liu Ruotian's back, Liu Ruotian picked up a wooden stick with his left hand to block his back, and the steel knife happened to cut on the wooden stick, and then Liu Ruotian quickly turned around and knocked the man down with a wooden stick. Seeing this, the others quickly rushed forward, and Liu Ruotian first swept the hall leg, and then swept the shoulders of the people with a wooden stick, causing the killers to fall to the ground one after another*. After more than a dozen rounds, the killers were all covered in bruises and basically lost their combat effectiveness.

"Ouch! Ouch! "The killers kept shouting.

And Liu Ruotian took advantage of their inattention, pulled Li Yuqi and ran away, and everyone saw that something was wrong, so they hurriedly chased after them.

The killers have been beaten by Liu Ruotian and limped, where can they catch up. Liu Ruotian and Li Yuqi didn't dare to slack off at all, and went straight to the general's mansion with a smoke.

Seeing that the two were fleeing, the killers did not chase after them, but hurriedly turned around and returned to the Gongfu to resume their lives.

It was late at night, and most of the people in the mansion had already fallen asleep, and Jiang Xinghe was still waiting anxiously in the room at this moment.

When he was young, the big man returned home with all the killers. After returning home, Dahan immediately went to find Jiang Xinghe alone to recover his life.

It turned out that these killers and the big man who took the lead were all Jiang Xinghe's subordinates, and the big man who took the lead was one of Jiang Xinghe's many cronies, and his name was Feng Weiran.

"Your Excellency, the preliminary plan has been basically completed, and my subordinates have come to resume their lives!" Feng Weiran came to Jiang Xinghe and said.

"How's things going? Isn't there anything wrong with that? Jiang Xinghe asked with his back to Feng Weiran.

Feng Weiran replied: "I didn't see anyone else appear, and my subordinates are about to start the second set of action plans. Unexpectedly, at this time, Liu Ruotian appeared, so his subordinates gave him a favor and walked down according to the steps of the first set of plans. Please rest assured, the development trend of the whole thing is under our control, and there should be no mistakes. ”

"Well, good, keep going with the plan, and remember not to show the slightest flaw." Jiang Xinghe instructed the wind to be ahead.

Feng Weiran said: "Your lord is so clever, those ignorant children will definitely not be able to see through your clever plan!" ”

"Hmph, don't these people like to play? Then I'll play with them to the end! Jiang Xinghe muttered to himself and let Feng Weiran leave. Stand down! It's not early today, and there are some things to discuss later. ”

"Yes, the subordinates are retired!" Feng Weiran immediately left Jiang Xinghe's room.

It seems that the situation of Liu Ruotian and the others is not optimistic, they seem to have inadvertently been involved in a huge conspiracy, and I am afraid that the future will be even more dangerous.
