Chapter 8: Revisiting the Old Place (I)
The girl was dressed in white, and the green silk was scattered, and although the sun was getting west at this time, this girl made the hawkers who hurriedly closed the stalls look sideways. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This girl doesn't use powder, although it is not a stunning thing in the world, but it can be regarded as beautiful. That little face contains a lot of sorrow, which makes people feel pity after seeing it, coupled with this cloak and plain appearance, it really looks like a lonely ghost with a dead father. If it weren't for the fact that he was followed by two men, one tall and one short, one strong and one thin, those vendors would still be the new grave whose coffin lid was not closed properly, and the ghosts of the unjust wandered into the streets.
When a hawker saw that the girl looked different, and that the two men were keeping a certain distance from her, he wanted to go up and ask what was going on. As soon as she got close to the girl, she was pushed away by the tall man, and after the vendor fell to the ground, he only heard a muffled sound in his thigh, and he knew that his leg was broken. But he looked up at the three strange men, and saw that they were drifting away, and not only the girl, but also the tall man who pushed him did not turn his head to look at him.
The peddler opened his mouth, and endured the sharp pain in his thigh. Gritting his teeth, he pulled out the flat pole, poured the remaining melons and fruits in the two bamboo frames on the side of the road, took off the rope sleeve, tied the two frames together, and hung them on his shoulders, and then used the flat pole as a crutch, and endured the severe pain and jumped home.
The girl and the two big men didn't know that this hawker was the well-known "Iron Flat Dan" Wang Er at the bottom of Jiangning Wulin. As for Jiangning Wulin, those "chivalrous" who were good friends with Wang Er only knew that on the day Sikong Gu entered the city, Wang Er left Jiangning with his family, and he didn't know whether to go back to his hometown or change places to beg for a living, in short, he had no contact with them.
This girl is Xiao Liu, and the two big men are Jia San and Guo Si after a little Qiao makeup. The two brothers were ordered by Sikong Gu to protect Xiaoliu to go to the ruined temple to revisit. When the two of them asked if they wanted to protect secretly, Sikong Gu frowned unexpectedly and asked, "If you don't let others see that someone is protecting her, can this be regarded as protection? Don't you have a time to blink?
This unexpected, yet plausible, accusation says at least two things:
One is that the so-called "secret guard" is extremely stupid in Sikong Gu's eyes, although many fools in the rivers and lakes who pretend to be smart have been using it, so they only appear after someone else has an accident, and in the end they can only see the scene where the murderer kidnaps the victim.
The second is to make Jia San and Guo Si clearly realize that Sikong Gu is really different from other people for this girl.
Of course, Xiao Liu was also beside Sikong Gu at the time, and when she heard Sikong Gu say this, her hand pouring tea for Sikong Gu also trembled slightly, but fortunately, Jia San and Guo Si didn't notice her insignificant thing.
"How much do you really care about me......? Am I really just a pawn in your eyes that can be used safely?"
Sometimes, knowing that there is no other answer, some people still can't help but think, trying to look at a standard circle from a different angle, can the circle still be seen as an ellipse?
"It's still the same here......"
Koyanagi whispered to someone, but unfortunately someone wasn't with her right now.
"Why did this girl come to this ruined temple at this time?"
A voice came from not far away, Jia San and Guo Si hurriedly exchanged a look, they didn't even notice that there were traces in this desolate ruined temple, if this person didn't hold his breath all the time, he was a master with extremely deep internal strength.
After all, the deeper the internal force, the more free it can be retracted and released, and the breathing sound of a humble martial artist is much heavier than that of ordinary people, because the internal force gathered by the dantian needs to operate everywhere in the meridians. And because an ordinary person does not practice internal strength, his breathing is much lighter than that of a person who practices martial arts. But top masters like Yang Shuo and Sikong Gu are different, when the internal strength breaks through a certain shackle, these internal breaths can be held, even if the six senses are high, it is absolutely impossible to tell whether this person is a person in the martial arts or not.
The figure in front of him who suddenly came out of the broken temple wore several jade pendants and two sachets around his waist, and I don't know how his fat and ugly respect could have a woman give him a sachet, but looking at the beauty of his clothes, it is very likely that he was born in a rich family, this Jiangning is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not surprising that there are so many noble sons, but it is just ......
Jia San and Guo Si looked at each other again, and the two of them affirmed their suspicions ninety percent - this person was Chu Zhongcheng who the young master emphasized that he must beware of.
A fat and big torso, an ugly and cute face, and a jade pendant and sachet around his waist...... It must not be wrong, this person is Chu Zhongcheng.
The sound was not unpleasant, although it was a little ordinary compared to Sikong Gu's feeling of tinkling spring water and Situ Song's clear and calm feeling:
"Xiaosheng Chu Zhongcheng, Kaisheng Pharmacy, Wuyun Dart Bureau, as well as Nawangcai Pawnshop and Chengdong Antique Street, were all my family at that time...... Girl?"
Xiao Liu frowned lightly at this noble son, and before he could show his identity, he turned his head and approached this familiar "former residence", Jia San and Guo Si glanced at each other, Guo Si took two steps to follow Xiao Liu, and Jia San stayed to deal with this person who was emphasized by Sikong Gu to be on guard.
After all, Jiangning is not Yangzhou, and the guy who can be emphasized by Sikong Gu is definitely not the "wine bag and rice bag" of the Jin family couple.
Seeing Chu Zhongcheng's eyes glancing at Guo Si, Jia San immediately understood that this person's familiarity with the rivers and lakes must not be bad, although Guo Sifang's two steps were mediocre, but after all, he had practiced light skills, and he could guess from Chu Zhongcheng's slightly constricted pupils that he must have seen that Guo Si was well equipped with light skills.
"Is this person the first opponent that the young master has encountered? Could it be that the plan to annex the Chu family and the Situ family will be destroyed at the hands of this person?"
I don't know if it was because of Chu Zhongcheng's keen observation or what Sikong Gu said to him, Jia San felt a little uneasy in his heart, which made him swallow his saliva.
As soon as Jia San's throat moved, Chu Zhongcheng's eyebrows raised: "Why did your young lady run to this ghost place?"
Although Jia San didn't know why he had this question, he also replied respectfully: "The fortune teller at home said that the young lady needs to run all over the Jiangning Temple today, otherwise there will be a bloody disaster in the near future." Although it is dilapidated, it is also a temple, and the old lady also has to enter the door to pay respects. ”
"Your lying skills are too bad, Sikong Meng Yuan is not very good at training on weekdays. ”
Although he didn't know how Chu Zhongcheng could see the relationship between himself and Sikong Gu, Jia San didn't want to show his surprise in front of Chu Zhongcheng, he didn't change his face and said, "Who is Sikong Mengyuan? Why did the young master of the Chu family in Jiangning suddenly ask him?"
In the past two days, Jia Sanguo Si has dressed up in disguise, and has already inquired about some news on Jiangning Wulin's face. Although this work can be done a long time ago, Sikong Gu still believes that the situation in the rivers and lakes will change every day, if a stable intelligence network cannot be installed in Jiangning, then instead of relying on old intelligence to make judgments, it is better to collect intelligence when it is about to be used, anyway, it is not that his side does not have this strength.
The fact that Chu Zhongcheng is the decision-maker behind the Chu family is still a rumor that is not believed in the market, but combined with Sikong Gu's meeting with Chu Zhongcheng that day, coupled with his understanding of the rivers and lakes, Sikong Gu and Jia San, Guo Si, and Friday all decided that this was not a rumor.
Rather than being exposed by others, it is better to spread rumors yourself, this trick is one of Sikong Gu's favorite tricks. Now in Jiangning, I also met an identical master......
"Is this person also a peerless martial artist like the young master? But this person should be three or four years younger than the young master, how can he have such a deep internal strength? Wait, is he ......?"
Suddenly remembered something, the fat man in front of him was still smiling slightly, but Jia San had a trace of murderous intent in his heart.
