Chapter Twenty-Five: Purpose: Intuition, Draw the sword
There is a saying that "people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong", everyone in this world wants to chase fame and fortune, but sometimes it is not a good thing to be too famous. The greater the fame, the greater the influence, the more people you will know, and the more troubles you will have.
Just like Lin Xu is now famous, and there are more people who know his name, some personal information will inevitably be known by more people. Su Zi knew his real name, and it was too easy to find the local area and inquire. Not to mention, she also asked a professional like Yanzimen to help.
The various branches of Yanzimen do not belong to each other, although there are times of cooperation, but there is not much communication with each other, let alone some small things. Therefore, although Li Feiyan is a disciple of Yanzimen and is in Wuxiang Middle School, the branch hall to which she belongs is still Qi Province, and the branch hall of Jin Province will not inform her of anything or tasks.
Therefore, Su Zi asked the Jin Provincial Branch to help investigate Lin Xu's matter, but she didn't know at all. What's more, Su Zi's matter was directly entrusted to the Yanzimen General Hall, and then the General Hall gave an order to the Jin Provincial side, let alone inform the Qi Provincial side. And the investigation of Lin Xu is indeed only a trivial matter. Lin Xu is now on the rivers and lakes, where can he talk about any fame, but he will not alarm the entire Yanzimen like Huang Zongwen.
"Why did you come to me?" After taking two more steps, Lin Xu finally asked the question he had planned to ask at the beginning. This is also the main question, what is Su Zi coming to him for, what is the purpose, it is worth rushing to find him on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
"It can't be that you came to pay New Year's greetings to me, right?" After asking, Lin Xu casually joked again.
Su Zi stared at him and said, "If you tell me something, then I can give you a New Year's greeting and send you a red envelope." ”
"Really?" Lin Xu smiled and asked, "What's the matter?
Su Zi said: "The Chinese New Year has nothing to do with the priorities of things. For me, Chinese New Year is not a special holiday, it is no different from usual. I came to you because I learned something recently, so I came to you, and it has nothing to do with the Chinese New Year. ”
When Lin Xu heard this, he couldn't help but feel the same way, he also felt that the New Year was becoming more and more boring now, and it was no different from usual. On the contrary, because the family wants to celebrate the New Year, it is more complicated. Some festivals, but not commemorate, only depends on personal preference and whether it is valued, it does not have to be a festival. It's a pity that he thinks like this, he doesn't like to celebrate any holidays, not even his birthday, but he can't convince his family and friends to think the same way, and follow his reasoning. It's just that he doesn't want to celebrate an important festival like the New Year, he doesn't like it, but he can't disobey his parents, so he still has to go back. But he also tried his best to reduce many activities and red tape for the New Year, anyway, he would definitely not go again when he went to relatives, and he would hide if he could.
Nodding his head with deep sympathy, Lin Xu said: "You are right, the New Year is really not interesting." The priority of the matter really doesn't have much to do with whether it's a festival or not. After that, he put away his smiling face and asked solemnly, "What do you want to ask me?"
When Su Zi heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Lin Xu with some surprise, but she didn't expect him to agree with her reasoning. However, after being surprised in her heart, she didn't say much about it, so as not to divert the topic again. She then turned pale, looked at Lin Xu's eyes, and asked solemnly, "Where is Chu Huanghe?"
When Lin Xu heard this, he immediately couldn't help but be shocked. When he saw Su Zi for the first time just now, he immediately thought that Su Zi could find this place just for Huang Zongwen, but he didn't expect that Su Zi was just coming to him. And now he thought that Su Zi was coming to him for something, but he didn't expect Su Zi's purpose to be Huang Zongwen. The difference is that he came to him and asked about Huang Zongwen.
But what he couldn't figure out was how Su Zi knew about his relationship with Huang Zongwen, and where did he know it. What's even more strange is that if Su Zi knew his relationship with Huang Zongwen and could find Wuxiang Middle School, then he would go directly to Taoyuan opposite to find Huang Zongwen, and why did he come to him to ask where Huang Zongwen was, this is really strange. Could it be that Su Zi had already been to Taoyuan and didn't see Huang Zongwen in Taoyuan, so he came to the school to find him again?
Although he was shocked in his heart, he thought about it a lot, but Lin Xu kept his face unchanged. After thinking about it, he deliberately pretended to be confused and frowned and asked: "Aren't you Tianshan faction entrusting Yanzimen to help investigate the whereabouts of this Chu Huanghe together, why did you come over and ask me? How do I know where this Chu Huanghe is? I still only know the name Chu Huanghe from you and Wang Qiankun, have you heard of any Yellow River heroes before?"
The two of them had stopped at this time, Su Zi had been staring at the change in the expression on Lin Xu's face, after listening to him, her expression on her face did not change, and then asked: "Okay, let me change the question, where is your master?"
Lin Xu said: "Didn't I say it a long time ago, it's inconvenient to tell me about my master's affairs." ”
"Do you know what is the latest progress of Yanzimen's investigation of Chu Huanghe?" Su Zi suddenly changed the topic and asked.
"How would I know?" Lin Xu quickly shook his head when he heard this. Although he knew what the latest progress of Yanzimen's investigation of Chu Huanghe was, he had just heard about it from Li Feiyan and Li Feilong, but now he naturally wanted to pretend not to know. What's more, since Su Zi can find here, the latest progress that Li Feiyan, the senior brother and sister, knows may not be the latest.
Su Zi didn't seem to think that he might know, and immediately replied: "The latest progress of Yanzimen's investigation of Chu Huanghe is that he has narrowed his hermitage to the limits of Jin Province. How's that, isn't it a surprise?"
When Lin Xu heard this, he was indeed a little surprised, and what was surprising was that what Su Zi said was the same as what Li Feiyan and Li Feilong said about the latest development, and there was no difference. Therefore, he couldn't figure out what Su Zi meant. Since the latest investigation progress she got from her side is the same, it is obvious that she has not found Huang Zongwen's specific place of seclusion, and it should be impossible to know his relationship with Huang Zongwen. can look at Su Zi's current appearance, but he seems to be very sure that he has something to do with Huang Zongwen.
After thinking about it, he still pretended to be confused and nodded: "I'm really surprised, I didn't expect this Yellow River hero to be in the same province as me." ”
Su Zi nodded and said, "That's right, when I got this news, I was also surprised and surprised. Chu Huanghe is in Jin Province, and you are also in Jin Province, do you think this is a coincidence?"
"Why isn't this a coincidence?" Speaking of which, Lin Xu understood a little. Su Zi didn't seem to know the specific relationship between him and Huang Zongwen, but because the latest investigation progress of Yanzimen was narrowed and locked to Jin Province, and Su Zi knew that he was also from Jin Province, so he connected the two and guessed that he had a relationship with Huang Zongwen, and it was likely to be a master-apprentice relationship. At the moment, all this is just Su Zi's speculation, she doesn't have any empirical evidence, she came to herself, just to seek verification from herself and open a breakthrough.
After a long time, it turned out that this girl was only speculating and speculating about the relationship between him and Huang Zongwen, and did not have any actual evidence, which made him a little alarmed.
"I don't think it's a coincidence. Su Zi stared at him and said, "Jin Province does not have a well-known martial arts faction, and in the past hundred years, there have been masters like Chu Huanghe, who are famous in the rivers and lakes. You are strong in martial arts, but you have a mysterious origin, and I have always been curious about your teacher. But now that I know that Chu Huanghe was also living in seclusion in Jin Province, I suddenly realized that I felt that it was very likely that he was your master, and only a great master like him could train a disciple like you. So, don't lie to me, tell me where he is?"
Lin Xu shook his head helplessly and said: "This is all your own blind guessing and thinking together, Jin Province is so big, why do we have to be in the same place? He lives in seclusion with him, I practice mine, why must we be masters and apprentices? The rivers and lakes are very deep, there is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the people, we have a master here, how can you know everything? Those who have not been famous in the rivers and lakes may not be not masters, you don't want to be so absolute." ”
"Okay, then tell me, who is your master?" asked Su Zi.
Lin Xu said: "I said it, it's inconvenient to tell you." ”
Su Zi said: "Then you are deliberately concealing it, if you refuse to say it, I will think so." And my intuition tells me that you and Chu Huanghe are both in Jin Province, this must not be a coincidence, there must be a relationship between you and him. My instincts have always been accurate, and I can't go wrong this time. Tell me the truth, don't push me to persuade you. ”
Lin Xu said helplessly: "You want to do it with me for this, how much enmity does your Tianshan faction have with this Yellow River hero?"
Su Zi said: "You don't need to worry about this, you just need to tell me, where is he?"
Lin Xu said: "I said it all, I don't know, you asked the wrong person." ”
There was a "choking" sound, and the cold light flashed. Su Zi suddenly reached into her coat, and then a long sword with a cold light was pulled out with her hand, the tip of the sword trembled and pointed straight at Lin Xu's throat, and said in an accentuated tone: "Tell me!"
Seeing this, Lin Xu's face couldn't help but change slightly, but he didn't expect her to say that she would do it, and the sword was pulled out, and it turned out to be real. I didn't pay attention just now, and I didn't notice that she was still carrying a weapon and hiding a sword. However, seeing that this sword has just been pulled out, it is still a little trembling, it should be a soft sword. If you have a soft sword, it is convenient to hide it on your body.
The two of them were standing not far away, and at this time, Su Zi drew her sword, and the length of the long sword plus the length of her arm, the tip of the sword was only about twenty centimeters away from Lin Xu's throat, which happened to be the length of the ruler used by their students.
Feeling the cold air on the tip of the sword, Lin Xu's face sank, and said, "What I don't know, how can I tell you?"
"Do you really want me to do it with you? I have a weapon, and you will suffer. Su Zi said: "You tell me now, this is for your good, don't wait for my master to know and ask you in person." She will only ask you once, and she will not give you a chance to beg for mercy after that. ”
