Chapter 23: Jianghu
Ruan Jingtian has been through ups and downs for a long time, and naturally knows the principle of being careful and not making big mistakes, and the previous few carelessness have made him show a lot of flaws, not only putting himself in danger, but also causing innocent people to be affected by him. He remembered that on the day of the assassination of Wei Keya, he ran away with the help of the peach blossom in Yixiang Courtyard, and went to see this peach blossom tonight.
When Ruan Jingtian came to Yee Heung Yuan dressed as a middle-aged scribe, it was a busy time for business. He waited for about an hour before he made an appointment with Peach Blossom.
Every girl like Peach Blossom is a person who no one cares about, and hypocrisy and lying fill their entire lives. The middle-aged man in front of him who is not in a hurry gives people the feeling of being loved by their elders. The middle-aged scribe played by Ruan Jingtian has already entered the role of an elder, and he never has to blame with disdain and critical eyes, and Peach Blossom begins to confide in Ruan Jingtian's interests.
Peach Blossom doesn't know much about the origin of Bingbing and Yutao, only that Bingbing came a month ago, and Yutao came half a month ago, but Peach Blossom knows some things about the young master. The young master often came to Yixiangyuan, and in the first few days, he had a hot fight with Bingbing, and then he liked the new and hated the old, gave up Bingbing, and stuck together with Yutao. Somehow, Leng Shao has been very obsessed with Bingbing recently, and Bingbing rarely accepts other guests, just being kind to Leng Shao.
After listening to Peach Blossom's chatter and memories, Ruan Jingtian gave Peach Blossom four golden leaves and left Yixiang Courtyard. After listening to Peach Blossom's description, he was even more confused about the purpose of the young master's coming to Dongshan City, could it be that this young master of the Liuyun Provincial Headquarters of the iron-blooded gangster came all the way here just to visit the kiln? The story of the two pairs of men and women is very old-fashioned, and this is a common thing in Yixiangyuan. Nguyen Ching Tien was not interested in this at all.
He disguises himself as Kimura, a fictitious merchant of Tetsukook, and returns to Yixiangin to ask for Bingbing by name. The worst scenario he could think of was that Bingbing set up an ambush here to assassinate Ruan Jingtian. If the person who set up the ambush is the young master, then Ruan Jingtian happened to meet the young master and asked about the whereabouts of Cheng Fanghu and Zhang Baiwen; if the person who set up the ambush was not the young master, Ruan Jingtian was not afraid, after all, his current identity was a businessman in Zheguo, and besides, he was still confident in his skills and skills.
"Mr. Mu, hello, you want to know about the young master, I can tell you what I know, but, why do you want to know about the young master? What is your relationship with the young master?" Bingbing made Ruan Jingtian a cup of tea in his boudoir, and then asked softly.
"Bingbing girl, I have been entrusted by someone to give a few things to the young master. I heard that you are acquainted with the young master, so I asked you about the young master, if possible, I also want to ask Miss Bingbing to help introduce me, I will hand over the things to the young master in person, and it can be regarded as completing the entrustment of others. Ruan Jingtian held the teacup, shook it slowly, and said unhurriedly.
"Ah?!What is it for the young master?Who entrusted it?" Bingbing's face suddenly changed drastically, but she immediately recovered and said to Ruan Jingtian delicately, "Mr. Mu, this tea should be drunk while it is hot." ”
Ruan Jingtian stared at Bingbing, put down the tea, and said slowly: "Don't be in a hurry to drink tea, Bingbing girl, you are very curious about what you give to the young master" Ruan Jingtian felt that Bingbing in front of him was probably not as simple as a dusty woman.
"Mr. Mu, now the young master likes the jade peach girl, I don't know much about him, and I may not be able to meet him. Bingbing sat down, her right hand casually raised, and her left hand stroked the jade bracelet on her right wrist.
Ruan Jingtian's gaze swept to Bingbing's right hand and his right arm, and suddenly, he immediately performed Jiu Gong and stealth techniques, as if he disappeared out of thin air, and then, a thin black shadow passed through the chair where Ruan Jingtian was sitting, and its position was exactly the upper half of Ruan Jingtian's body.
Bingbing was shocked to see that her sneak attack had failed for the first time, but her reaction was unusually fast, and she had an extra short knife in her hand and rushed in the direction of Ruan Jingtian.
When Ruan Jingtian saw her right forearm bulging slightly, he knew that it was a black-bellied needle, and he immediately made a decision to dodge the black-bellied needle that came from the sudden attack, but he didn't expect Bingbing to be able to identify his stealth route, and he approached like a ghost. Ruan Jingtian dodged the short knife, and with a stroke of eagle claw, he grabbed Bingbing's shoulder, Bingbing's body twisted strangely like a snake, and broke free from Ruan Jingtian's big hand, and at the same time let out a whistle.
Ruan Jingtian saw that she was looking for a helper, and she didn't want to fight, so her figure rose up, jumped out of the window, and in a few jumps, the dark night completely drowned out his figure.
Ruan Jingtian didn't run far, his interest in Bingbing was far greater than that of the young master. The existence of the black belly needle shows that she is a warrior of Zheguo, and her skills are not shallow. Ruan Jingtian originally planned to crush her shoulder, but she escaped, even so, Ruan Jingtian believed that her shoulder had been injured, otherwise she would not have called a helper.
Ruan Jingtian ran the stealth technique, turned back to Yixiangyuan, found a room at random, stunned the couple who were in Yunyu, took off the Zheguo costume, changed into the clothes of a man at the head of the bed, and simply dressed himself as a gentleman, and asked Mommy for a girl named Chunxi, Chunxi's room was only one room away from Bingbing's room. After entering Chunxi's room, Ruan Jingtian slapped the knife, and Chunxi fainted.
Ruan Jingtian's ears were pressed against the walls, the walls here were very thin, and the sound next door was clear. What he was going to listen to now was next door, where Bingbing and the other three men were discussing in a low voice.
"County Lord, you should follow our earlier arrangement, if we ambush in the house in advance, that Kimura will definitely not be able to escape. A slightly complaining voice reached Ruan Jingtian's ears.
"Don't talk about these useless afterthoughts, how are you investigating Kimura's origins?"
"The time is too short and there is no information about him. In our Zheguo, there are not many people with the surname Mu, and I have never heard of such a powerful person in the family surnamed Mu. Maybe he's using a pseudonym. ”
"It's possible. This Kimura has something to hand over to Tang Guojian, is this credible?"
"County Lord, I think it should be credible, but I don't know what it is. Let's arrest Tang Guojian and ask him. ”
"We can't catch it now, we must wait until we get Gu Ding before we can move. This Tang Guojian is very cunning, and he will only tell the whereabouts of Gu Ding until he sees the cracked inscription. I guess Tang Guojian may really know Gu Ding's whereabouts, but he is also looking for it. If we get Gu Ding, Tang Guojian will be worthless. You say, will this thing that Kimura handed over to Tang Guojian be Gu Ding?"
"It shouldn't be possible, Gu Ding is too precious, even if it is handed over to the surname Tang, it is impossible to need the county lord to introduce it. This Kimura doesn't seem to know Tang Guojian, why did he send something to the surname Tang?"
"Kimura said that he was entrusted by someone, well, these are secondary, the most important thing at the moment is to find out the origin of Kimura, he can dodge the black belly needle, and he is also proficient in soft skills and stealth, his last grab, has injured me, this kind of skill is also rare in Zheguo, not an unknown person, you immediately telegraph Zheguo, you must dig out all the details of this person. ”
"Yes, Lord Shire. Xiao Daojun and Shang Lei Jun followed Tang Guojian's Ah San and Ah Si, and there has been no news, will the two of them be killed by Tang Guojian?"
"Probably not, I have inquired on the side, it seems that Ah San and Ah Si have found something interesting and went to investigate. According to common sense, Tang Guojian's people will not take the initiative to find trouble, and besides, Ah San and Ah Si are not opponents of Kojima-kun and Shanglei-jun. Besides, Ah San and Ah Si are also missing, and Tang Guojian is looking for them like crazy. Where was the last contact between Kojima-kun and Shanglei-kun?"
"It was the Treasure Spring Bath, and they were seen leaving the bath in a hurry, and no one saw them again. The most regrettable thing is that Kojima-kun's four bottles of Saint Pill have not yet had time to give to the county lord, and there are two sets of black-bellied needles on Lei Jun's body, hoping that these things will not fall into the hands of others. ”
"Shengdan and the black belly needle are secondary, the most important thing is to find the two of them quickly, to see people in life and corpses in death. More than ten days have passed, and the two of them have evaporated out of thin air, which is very strange. This morning a strange prodigal son claimed to be from the War Department, and killed one of the Hu family and seriously injured three people, but the War Department said that they did not have this person at all. ”
"Why did the Hu family keep staring at the Zhangjia department store?
"I heard that Hu Erma, the concubine of the Hu family, got a scripture, but Hu Erma was killed and the scripture book was gone, Hu Qiuyuan suspected that this scripture was used. It is said that more than ten days ago, Hu Qiuyuan deciphered the code of Shi Zhan and almost caught Shi Zhan. After that, there was no more news of it. ”
"It seems that the Hu family is not only looking for the scripture, I heard that the Hu family also wants to use the idea of Longyin River. There is a man named Hu Shitian next to Hu Qiuyuan, who sees the beginning and the end all day long, mysterious and secretive, I heard that he seems to know about the Leng family. ”
"Hu Qiuyuan is indeed insatiable, he wants to fight Long Yinhe's idea, but our merchants don't agree. However, it is not only the Hu family who takes a fancy to Long Yinhe, but Zuo Tengxiong of the gendarmerie is also eyeing this. Zuo Tengxiong has been operating in Dongshan City for many years, and his tentacles are stretched out, and it is not a simple matter to hide from him, tomorrow you go to Zuo Tengxiong and ask him not to intervene in everything, which will break the rules. ”
"Okay, tomorrow I'll go to the gendarmerie. County Lord, that Kimura's skills are very terrifying, and when you see him in the future, don't take risks alone. If you have three long and two short tonight, the head of the house will definitely be heartbroken. ”
"I know, this time I was blind, I thought it would be easy to take this Kimura. I don't think Kimura came for us. Because the encounter with Kimura at dinner was definitely accidental, Kimura may really be looking for Tang Guojian. I also blamed me for being in a hurry, as soon as I heard that something was going to be handed over to Tang Guojian, my first thought was Gu Ding. Maybe it's just that my feelings are wrong at this time, and Kimura saw the clues, which made him take precautions. If I introduce him to Tang Guojian, maybe I will have a greater gain, and I may also know what he has to pay. ”
After listening to this, Ruan Jingtian's heart was turbulent, not only the intricacies of the people of the country, but also the intrigue between the people of Zheguo, it seems that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
