Chapter 30: The Fall of the Son (I)
"That's a nice look. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Looking at Zhang Wenwen's distorted face, Sikong Gu finally had a hint of pleasure in his heart.
If Zhang Wenwen was unmoved and just responded coldly, then he would probably only be stunned, right? After all, this was not in his calculations.
This game of chess in Yangzhou has already been arranged, and since that day, when Li Zhou met Mingyue Tower with a secret letter, Sikong Gu began to fall. There are only three chess pieces that can really be used in his hands, two in Yangzhou and one in Kaifeng.
"Come to think of it, Friday should be a success, right? After all, he was the best of the three the old man had left. ”
Zhang Wenwen's body began to tremble, and a pair of lips trembled slightly, but Sikong Gu knew very well that with Zhang Wenwen's shallow internal force, there was no way to break through the sealed acupoints.
March 27, night, Tokyo, Yanagifu.
At this time, it is raining a thin drizzle in Kaifeng City, this spring rain is as expensive as oil, even the capital of the Great Song Dynasty can not escape this saying, but this year's spring rain is too little, except for the one when it warms, now this one is a little late.
A fairy-like man with white skin and tender skin was standing under the eaves with his hands behind his back, and a middle-aged gentleman with squinting eyes and eyebrows was sitting on a bench in the room, and the two had been silent for a while.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and a few mud stars even splashed on the fairy's shoes and socks from outside the porch. The fairy raised his head again, revealing his Adam's apple in the candlelight, and the maidservant who was constantly looking at him suddenly "ahhh
This voice summoned the two contemplative people back to the present world, and the fairy-like handsome Langjun was Friday, although he was over thirty years old, his skin was like snow and jade, and at first glance he looked no different from the twenty-eight goddesses. The girl with the lamp was also fascinated by this appearance, but suddenly saw that the throat like a tender chicken head had something that only a man had, and it was no wonder that she lost her voice to break the peace shrouded by the spring rain.
Friday smiled at her, then turned back into the house and closed the wide open door.
"It turns out that he is a man, I also said where did the master find such a stunner, they closed the door tightly, and the voice was so small, there must be something strange in it, should I report it to Madame?"
Just as the maidservant girl outside the door was still thinking about Friday's stunning appearance, the elegant guest inside the door opened her eyes.
"What are you thinking about?"
Friday's voice is extremely soft, if Sikong Gu's clear and loud timbre is a trip to the stream, then Friday's timbre is a gentle drizzle, at first hearing his voice, it is like seeing his face, which will make people misjudge his gender.
Yake is not as good as Longyang, and even if he does, he will definitely not think about this beautiful scorpion.
This Yake was drugged and stunned by Sikong, and the father of Liu Sanbian Langjun who was still sleeping in the Mingyue Tower, Liu Yi, who is now serving in the court.
Liu Yi, like Friday, is someone's agent, and Friday brings the conditions of Sikong Gu, and Liu Yi also holds the bottom line of the person behind the scenes.
"I didn't want my second son to get involved with the Jianghu people, why didn't you inform me of the plan in advance?"
Liu Yi didn't talk about what he asked on Friday, and he was very clear on Friday that although the conditions he brought would not exceed the other party's bottom line, the other party still wanted to maneuver.
"This is also part of the plan, before my young master does a big thing, he must always calculate clearly, and there is no room for negligence. Gui Langjun doesn't know about this, which is beneficial to the young master of my family, and it is naturally beneficial to our purpose. ”
"What about Zhang Wenwen?"
"This involves the night in Jiangning ten years ago, and you also know what the purpose of the young master of my family is. ”
"He had something to do with that too?"
Liu Yi's eyebrows were about to be squeezed up by him.
"The 'Three Heroes of the Green Underworld', 'Southern Ring and Northern Feud', 'Teng King's Legs', 'Golden Hammerman', and someone you can't deal with now, are all related to this matter. ”
Of course, Friday knew who the person who really slaughtered Sikong Mansion was and just to complete the plan that Mr. Wu had made, so how could it be impossible to tell the truth to the person in front of him? Blaming that guy was Mr. Wu's purpose in the first place.
"You know so clearly? It's been 10 years. ”
"In the past ten years, my master has not been idle, after my master is gone, my young master has lost his shackles, and now my young master has entered the rivers and lakes to avenge this blood sea of revenge, and naturally he will not let them go. ”
"That's what you're saying, why should we believe it?"
"If you don't believe, you won't see me today. ”
Smiling slightly on Friday, arranged by Mr. Wu, these "truths" have been gradually spread to the rivers and lakes in the past ten years. As long as those who are interested in checking, they will be able to find clues, and when they follow the vine, they may be able to find a certain innkeeper, and then find a secret letter that fell into the crack of the bed in the guest room, or see the old woman in the Qinglou who is old and decrepit, and listen to an old story of a chivalrous drunk person...... Similar information was spread by Mr. Wu to every corner of the rivers and lakes, just waiting for someone with a heart to "find".
When Sikong Gu proposed that Zhang Wenwen must escort Liu Sanbian, presumably Liu Yi and the forces behind him would turn over all the news related to Zhang Wenwen.
"They will definitely look it up, and when they find it, they will at least choose between believing it and not believing it, or the one that often appears in front of their eyes, or...... Choose the one that is most beneficial to them, people, all of them, if it is good for them to believe, and there are no obvious hidden dangers, why do they not believe it?"
When Jia San asked questions about this part of Sikong Gu's plan, Sikong Gu replied like this. Although Friday was extremely unhappy with Sikong Gu's character who likes to ponder human nature, after all, Mr. Wu ordered them to obey Sikong Gu's orders, and Friday, who had received Mr. Wu's great favor, naturally refused to disobey Mr. Wu's last order. Fortunately, Friday didn't do anything blood-staining after being driven by Sikong Gu, and in Friday's opinion, Sikong Gu also carefully pondered his character, knowing that if he kept letting himself do those things, he would inevitably end up with him. Therefore, although Friday doesn't like Sikong Gu's style, he will do every task that Sikong Gu gives him very well.
"Our cheap life belongs to the master, and the master makes us obey the orders of the young master, so we should do our best for the young master. ”
Lao Qi's words before his death often surrounded Friday's ears, "That's it, since this life doesn't belong to me, why should I read 'Nai'?" looked at Liu Yi, whose eyebrows gradually loosened, but Friday thought about things that had nothing to do with this negotiation.
"What you said is good, your young master is so powerful, if he can roam in this river and lake for ten or twenty years, he will definitely be able to dominate the martial arts. ”
Liu Yi burst out laughing.
"But the young master of my family does not want to become the overlord of martial arts, as long as the revenge is avenged and the Sikong family can regain its past glory, the young master of my family will live in seclusion in the rivers and lakes, and will not ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and be an idler in the mountains. ”
"Does the young master of your family really have the slightest ambition? With the assistance of several of you who are strong in martial arts and extremely well-versed in world affairs, and have a lot of money in your hands, after he revitalizes the Sikong family, he will inevitably become a force in the rivers and lakes that no one can underestimate, and at that time, the young master of your family really has no ambition to be a hegemon?"
Liu Yi's question made Friday frown, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and his voice was a little colder:
"Do you still need an answer to that question? that's what he's asking?"
Liu Yi obviously knew that his attitude would change like this on Friday, nodded and said:
"This is just my own question, if the fifth master is unwilling to answer, then it is okay not to answer. ”
"Those of us who are subordinates are most afraid to speculate about the Lord's intentions, and now I ask the Liugong Department to answer my initial question - how do you think about it?"
Liu Yi stared at Friday, whose face was frosty, but a little cold, and finally sighed, nodded and said:
"We have agreed, when the young master of your family returns to Jiangning, we will never interfere in the affairs of Jiangning. It's just that the young master of your family can really defeat the Chu family and the Situ family? The two of them are now deeply rooted, if they want to defeat them head-on, they have to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to do it with the manpower that the Cao Gang can provide, right?"
"You don't have to worry about it, you just need to think about how to win over the current Yangzhou Cao Gang, after you bring Yangzhou under the same banner, there will be a move over there, at that time, I'm afraid you won't be able to take care of us at all." ”
After hearing the answer he wanted, Friday's face was frosty, although he was not as able to change his emotions anytime and anywhere to adapt to the environment, but he also knew that he could not show his dissatisfaction with his "allies" at this time, so he had to say with a blank face.
In the sky inside Kaifeng City, several thunderclouds were clearly visible.
At this time, the sky of Yangzhou City was cloudless, and the bright moon sprinkled directly on the highest terrace of Mingyue Tower, and in the wine glass in front of Sikong Gu, the bright yellow moon was clearly visible.
"At the beginning, the forty-two members of the Sikong family were indeed dead, where are there so many stories of orphans' revenge on the rivers and lakes? It's just that some people like to listen to it, so some people like to tell it, Uncle Zhang, didn't you believe it at first?"
Zhang Wenwen was dressed roughly, and Sikong Gu could even see a thin bead of sweat on his forehead.
"Are you so angry that you can't speak? Is it because I lied to you? Or is it because I gave you hope and broke it? It can't be the remorse for your incompetence, right? Then I have something here that you don't want to hear, and the one who hunted down and killed your 'Three Swords of the Green Shadow' is the 'Jiangnan Renxia' in your eyes, that is, my master. At the beginning, in order not to be recognized by you, that old man practiced swordsmanship, and he still has an impression, right?"
"Alright, alright, no more playing with you. They're almost there, so let's get down to business. ”
"You...... What is the purpose?" Zhang Wenwen finally stabilized his heart rhythm and asked through gritted teeth.
"Purpose? There is no purpose, just to let you play the last role, after all, after the death of the surnamed Zhou, there was only one of you left in the old Sikong Mansion, but it's a pity that Sun Weixue I didn't seal his acupoint, which caused him to lose his life when he fled the night three days ago, but fortunately, I still have your second-hand preparation. ”
It seemed that he couldn't accept Sikong Gu's words, and Zhang Wenwen's expression became distorted, and this expression was neither crying nor laughing, but like a big fool.
Sikong Gu didn't tell him more shocking news, just stood up and patted him on the shoulder, then walked to the railing on the edge of the terrace and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
At this time, the moon is no longer full, but it still has an extraordinary charm, and with the warm and cool breeze of early spring, Sikong Gu forgot where he was for a moment.
Sikong had only looked at the moon for half an hour, and the "guest" he was waiting for had already arrived behind him.
The "guest" had two thin whiskers on his lips, the color was blue, but it was a little thicker than the hair, and there were three scars on the face of the Chinese character, on the forehead, chin, and nose, all of which were horizontal marks, which looked shallower than the other. If he didn't have those scars, he would have been a handsome man. He carried a long knife behind him, with no scabbard or blade, and the blade was about three feet long, which looked extremely heavy.
"You're here. ”
Sikong Gu didn't look back, although the "guest" didn't expect Sikong Gu to say this, but he didn't have the slightest surprise on his face, but slightly curled the corner of his left mouth, as if answering a friend, he responded: "I'm here, but I'm late." ”
"yes, one step earlier, they wouldn't have died. ”
"No, one step earlier, it is not the Raising Sword Gate that was destroyed today. ”
Sikong Gu turned around slowly, but saw that the "guest" was holding the handle of the knife in his hand and had already put on a posture.
"Draw your sword, I will not kill the unarmed. ”
