Chapter Eighty-Nine: Clues to Confusion
The south gate of Wudu City opened in response, and several guards who were on duty to open the city pushed the city gate open, and the people who were in the middle were startled when they saw the exhausted man at the door, and the other people naturally recognized that the man in black who rode a horse was the man who rewarded the money yesterday.
Zhu Li only glared at a few people, but did not teach a lesson, patted the horse stock, and anxiously went to the center of the city.
After walking to the attic in the city, Zhu Li dismounted and patted on the wooden door, hoping that someone would open the door to respond, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, Zhu Li was uneasy, but at this time there was nowhere to go, and there was no trace at all, especially the killer in the city, who could not be contacted, and he was really afraid that he would follow in the footsteps of his own leader.
"Have you heard, there were dead people again last night, and the scene was a little scary. ”
Zhu Li couldn't sit on the steps, and as soon as these words came out, he sat up straight, strode forward and knocked on the man's arms with both hands.
"What did you just say?" said Zhu Li.
The person who spoke looked at the man wrapped in black and with a long knife on his back and was startled, the pain in his arm made him a little frightened, and he trembled and said, "It's dead again." ”
"Where?" said Zhu Li anxiously.
"North of the city. ”
After hearing this, Zhu Li threw away his arms, turned over and rode straight to the north of the city.
After marching through several streets, Zhu Li, who had nothing to gain, saw the crowded streets, and drove his horse regardless of the overcrowding.
"Those who don't want to die get out of the way. ”
Zhu Li shouted loudly, many of them still wanted to squeeze forward, dodging on both sides of the frightened, and even the crowd at the front, for fear of being trampled under the horse's hooves, giving away their lives in vain, watching the excitement and taking their lives in, it is not worth it.
Among them, there are many burly men, who are dissatisfied, and even have a little eagerness to try the fists in their hands, but they can see the people on horseback dressed up and the long knives hanging on their backs, and they suddenly have no backbone.
Zhu Li traveled unhindered all the way, riding a horse to the scene of the tragedy, and he saw corpses all over the field, and he didn't frown too much about these. When he saw the corpse lying not far away, Zhu Li turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly stepped forward to check, and the man with the Chinese face appeared in front of him.
The answer is already known, the killers in the city have been defeated, and there is no one alive, and Zhu Li, who still has the idea of revenge, has no idea when he sees the neatly cut shop.
Zhu Li didn't get on the horse and left, but just grabbed the horse rope and withdrew from the crowd, and no one dared to say anything about the onlookers, so they all gave way.
Zhu Li looked at the inn in front of him, tied the horse to the door at will, and walked in slowly.
"Little Er, serve the wine!" Zhu Li said.
The silver-toothed shopkeeper looked at the man sitting at the guest table, obviously dressed as a Jianghu person.
"What kind of wine do you want to drink?" said the silvertooth shopkeeper.
Zhu Li looked at the silvertooth shopkeeper and said, "The most intense." ”
The silvertooth shopkeeper nodded, didn't say a word, turned away, and after a while came with a jar of wine, and placed it lightly in front of the man.
"Why don't you even have a little second in this inn? Zhu Li said.
"There was one, and it was not long before he left. The silver tooth shopkeeper said.
Zhu Li did not pour the wine into the glass, but drank it with a bottle, and said with a big sip: "Why?"
"My shopkeeper is not very old, but I look forward to the rivers and lakes the most in my heart, there is always an endless dream of heroes, I really can't understand where the rivers and lakes are good. The silver tooth shopkeeper said.
"Yes, where are the rivers and lakes good, why are so many people yearning for them, I really can't think of anything other than life and death, there are still those things in the rivers and lakes that are still fresh in my memory!" Zhu Li said.
The silvertooth shopkeeper looked at the man who drank bitter wine and said, "Hero, are you also worried about the rivers and lakes?"
Zhu Li looked at the incision connected to the wall by the window and smiled bitterly: "Where am I a hero, not even a bad person, as for why I am worried, for the rivers and lakes, for life and death, but also for myself!"
"Then why don't you quit the rivers and lakes!" asked the silvertooth shopkeeper rhetorically.
"I have stepped into the swamp and mud, and I have no chance to retreat, and when it will be swallowed up, it depends on how much luck is left. ”
Zhu Li's words are mixed, there is everything, and naturally there is a lot of despair.
The silvertooth shopkeeper was about to speak, but Zhu Li got up to interrupt the words, took out the silver, put it on the guest table, picked up the wine jug and came out, turned over the horse, and drank away.
The silvertooth shopkeeper looked at the man who was walking away, like a withering tree trunk.
On the official road in the north of the city, Li Chenfeng and his party have traveled dozens of miles, and the sun is just right today, and Li Chenfeng, who is already dressed in black, is even more lazy, and even has a comfortable feeling.
After stretching his waist and straightening his back, Li Chenfeng's back deliberately fell into the compartment, like a head suddenly growing out of the door curtain, which startled several people.
Li Chenfeng saw everyone's reaction and said with a smile.
"Old Fan, come out for a while. After saying that, he shrank his head and disappeared into the carriage.
Fan Weisheng naturally knew why Li Chenfeng was looking for him, as for what he had already confided in last night, and even pondered last night, what the problem was, which could make Li Chenfeng get to the bottom of it, and it was difficult to distinguish it.
"Brother Li. Fan Weisheng sat on one side and took the horse rope from Li Chenfeng's hand.
"Did you know that the thieves came to you last night. Li Chenfeng said.
Fan Weisheng nodded, removing his troubles, as if others were not so troublesome.
"Is there something wrong with where these people came from?" said Fan Weisheng.
Li Chenfeng shook his head.
"Last night you also heard from the shopkeeper that the cause of the evil in the city was the cause, and this is exactly the problem. ”
"How?" said Fan Weisheng.
"Last night, the killer did come for you, but he didn't follow him as before, but he has been lurking in the city for a long time, no more, no less, just over a year. Li Chenfeng said.
"You mean that the murders in the city are all caused by them?"
Li Chenfeng nodded, indicating that this was exactly the case.
"Since you have been planning for a long time, then you have been in trouble today, and I am afraid that you have been tied up a long time ago. I want to ask you, of course, to know whether you know or not, or whether what you have said before is false. Li Chenfeng said.
Fan Weisheng didn't understand the meaning of Li Chenfeng's words, and asked, "What is knowing!"
"Then I made it clear, you were involved in the royal battle, and both roads have been blocked, I will take it seriously, as for the later Gu Chunqiu came to the door, did you hide it?"
"Brother Li, I swear to the sky, everything I said that day was the truth, if there is half a lie, five thunders will hit the top. Fan Weisheng looked excited and explained.
Li Chenfeng saw his solemn appearance, but he really couldn't see the slightest false appearance.
"Who sent the person you said killed you?" Li Chenfeng asked rhetorically.
Fan Weisheng is not a dead head, with what Li Chenfeng asked before, plus Wudu City, which has been planned for a long time, there are indeed many questions.
"What did the boss say last night?" asked Fan Weisheng.
Li Chenfeng frowned slightly, a little unhappy, the reason was not this question, but before the jade-crowned man died, all the words made him very disgusted, and the word chess piece was particularly unpleasant.
"The man said I had broken the layout and was already a piece on the chessboard. Li Chenfeng said.
Fan Weisheng looked at Li Chenfeng's bored appearance, since he knew that everything started from this, and along the way, he somewhat understood what kind of character Li Chenfeng was, and let him be the son of the chessboard, but he was a little angry.
"I remembered what Gu Chunqiu had said casually. Fan Weisheng looked at Li Chenfeng's appearance, and a fragment appeared in his mind.
"What did you say?" Li Chenfeng said.
"I thought it was irrelevant, but I didn't take it to heart, and went to Tianshui to join my brother, and he also proposed it. Fan Weisheng said.
Li Chenfeng listened to his words, and his thoughts gradually began to think in his mind, although there is a reason, but it is really hard to imagine, what kind of ability can make a move, and he is not wrong in the slightest, has he even counted this variable?
"Could it be that the people who are chasing you are deliberately driving you to Wudu, for the purpose of eliminating the chess pieces of Wudu? Could it be that among the people who are chasing and killing you, there are also hidden chess pieces?"
In the face of Li Chenfeng's many questions, Fan Weisheng didn't know how to answer, and now he secretly spread out the past, like a long-planned conspiracy, repeating the cycle silently.
"Am I still a chessboard chess piece, still being held by others, and not being a wasted piece? So who is playing chess? What is the meaning of chess?"
Li Chenfeng didn't answer, such a big situation was unimaginable, and he couldn't help but be curious.
"Who is this Gu Chunqiu, and how capable does he have?"
