The martial arts competition was still in the preliminary stage, and there were not many people coming to watch every day. The strong man showed the player's waist card, pointed at Ning Ji, and was then allowed to come in by the guard next to him.
He was only injured yesterday, and the bandage on his arm was still intact when he came here today. After making a lot of noise, he came to buy medicine from Ning Ji.
"...Brother, I tried it yesterday. Your wound medicine and this cloth are really good. It's a pity that a bunch of killers moved around and spilled all the medicine. We travel around the world and are often injured. It's a rare encounter.
Such good things, so I wanted to come over and buy some more from you, little brother, and keep them for later use... By the way, let me meet you, my name is Huangshan, the mountain with the highest peak, I don’t know what your last name is..."
The strong man was chattering, and he obviously hadn't taken a shower, and he was stinking of sweat. Ning Ji glanced at his injury and saw that the bandage was dirty, and he felt disgusted - he was also dirty before he studied medicine, but after practicing medicine
Only then did he become more particular - treating him as a dead person: "I won't sell medicine for wounds."
"Hey, little brother, don't say that. We all travel around the world. We rely on our parents at home and friends when we go out. You help me and I help you. We all have multiple paths. Look, I don't want you in vain. I brought it here.
Money... Look, your coat is old and has patches. I see that you are not from a wealthy family. You don’t usually use the medicine in the army casually. This time you sold some to me. I have Sanguan here.
You see how much money you can buy..."
Ning Ji looked at the money, turned around, hesitated for a moment and looked at it again: "...there are a lot of three strings. Do you want to use this yourself?"
"That's not true. I am... also buying it for my fellow apprentices who are traveling with me this time. When traveling in the world, you always have to be prepared. According to my injury, it is enough for twenty people. How about three sticks?"
"...The Huaxia Army has plenty of medicines. They gave me this job because my family was gone. I broke the rules just for the sake of three dollars, so I won't do it."
Ning Ji shook his head, and the strong man started to speak, but Ning Ji raised his hand and said, "I want more money. At least five guan."
"...You kid, the lion opens his mouth..."
"Then you can go to the drugstore outside the door to buy it. It's almost the same."
"The drugstore..." The strong man hesitated for a moment, then said, "...Okay, five sticks, enough for twenty people."
Ning Ji nodded: "The quantity is too big, so it's hard to get it now. Since you are participating in the competition, you will stay here until at least September. You pay a deposit first, and we will clear the money and goods before you leave in early September."
When the strong man heard this, he couldn't help but froze. He rolled his eyes several times and then said: "You... this business has been delayed for too long. I'll wait for a group of brothers to stay here for two or three months to practice."
It's inevitable that you'll get injured during the competition... It's not appropriate for you to have to pay five guan for this. In this way, the delivery will be done in three days, and the money and goods will be cleared. You know, we martial arts practitioners are used to the dangers of the world. Some things, in
Only when you are around yourself can you be at ease, don’t keep money as external things..."
He looked obviously panicked. As he spoke like this, his eyes were fixed on Ning Ji. Ning Ji glanced at him again, a look of success flashed through his eyes, but he didn't say much: "... Three days of friendship.
Goods, seven guan. Otherwise it will be September."
The strong man named Huangshan was silent for a while: "...Okay. Seven guan will be seven guans, twenty people. I, Huangshan, will make you my friend... By the way, what's the name of the little brother?"
"The surname is Long, and the name is Aotian."
"Okay, Brother Long, it's settled. I'll... give you a deposit first..." Huangshan obviously wanted to seal the deal quickly, so with a move of his hand, he slid the money directly over to Ning Ji's hand.
, Ning Ji put it away gently, only to hear the other party say again, "By the way, my boss will come over to compete the day after tomorrow in the afternoon. If it is convenient, how about we meet and trade the day after tomorrow?"
"You decide."
"Brother Long, it's cool." He clearly came here with a mission on his shoulders. He tried his best to appear shrewd in his previous words. After the deal was over and he relaxed, he sat next to him and started chattering again.
In a casual chat, they inquired about the life experience of "Brother Long", while watching the competition on the stage and commenting on it. When Ning Ji became impatient, he said goodbye and left.
Ning Ji didn't pay much attention to him. He only waited until the competition was over for the day, and then went to the backstage of the martial arts field to find out the information about "Huangshan" and take a look. The drug that was already at a serious premium for three guan was increased to five guan.
, and in the end he did not hesitate to spend seven guan to win it, it was just random. This reckless man called Huangshan has no experience in negotiation. If ordinary people value money, doubling the money from three guan to six guan is a hurdle. He casually asks for seven guan, just waiting.
He lowered the price, not even lowering the price. There was no other possibility except stupidity and desperation.
These people came to Chengdu to participate in the competition. It was impossible to give too detailed information when registering, and the information might be false. Ning Ji just looked through it and had an idea. That day, he went home wearing a white coat and carrying a medicine box.
Halfway through, I vaguely realized that I was being followed.
He grew up in places like Xiaocang River and Liangshan Mountain, and he didn't have much training in identifying and tracking people. It was difficult to judge when there were a lot of people on the road. Only when he got to a remote and uninhabited place did his guess change.
It became obvious. At this time, the afternoon sun still looked golden. As he walked, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
——The bad guy is finally here...
There was no expression on his face, but his body was trembling with excitement. As he walked forward, his feet were floating, his left foot stumbled over his right foot, and he fell with a thud under the shade of a tree beside the riverside road.
The thin man who was following behind was hiding in the corner. He saw the little doctor carrying a box in front of him get up from the ground and kick all the stones on the ground into the river one by one. After venting his anger, he appeared to be limping.
Walking back, the sunshine pouring in in the afternoon confirmed the fact that this cold-faced young doctor had no martial arts skills.
****************
He came to Chengdu alone and was placed in a small courtyard in the corner of the city. Regarding the arrangement of Ning Ji's identity, the internal support department of the Chinese Army was not careless. If someone is interested and inquires nearby, they can probably collect the full details of the young man's family.
Wu, the story of buying an old courtyard in Chengdu relying on his father's pension from the Chinese army.
Of course, if we really inquired in this level of detail, it would be difficult to say which member of the Chinese army the inquirer would face in the future. Regarding this matter, Ning Ji did not care too much, and only hoped that the other party would try his best to
Don't ask blindly. The people responsible for security around my parents were all on the same side as the ruthless Grandpa Chen Tuozi back then, but they were not as kind as me.
There were no big flaws in the external arrangement. Ning Ji couldn't guess what step the other party would take. He just returned to the courtyard where he lived alone and quickly cleaned up all the traces left by the martial arts practice in the courtyard.
There were too many pieces of wood to chop when practicing sword practice. At this time, Hang Hang Chi Chi cleaned up for nearly an hour and made a fire to cook a simple meal. During this process, the follower, who was very skilled in dexterity, even sneaked into the yard and carefully chopped the wood. After checking the layout of the courtyard, Ning Ji only frightened the person away by carrying his rice bowl when the person wanted to enter his bedroom.
As the sun set, when Ning Ji sat under the eaves outside the bedroom and slowly finished his dinner, the stalker finally climbed over the wall and left - obviously the other party also wanted to eat - Ning Ji lay on the wall and peeked. After a while, and after he was sure that the man had left and would not come back, he further hid the things in the bedroom that might reveal his identity, then put on clothes suitable for night movements, carried a small package with a water bottle on his back, and prepared to go I met Hou Yuanyong, who I had made an appointment with during the day.
Qu Longjun and Wen Shoubin's scenes were about to enter a critical moment, and he was unwilling to miss it.
After leaving the small courtyard, the city near and far was immersed in a blur of lights, and Ning Ji was in a state of excitement. This is life - he had originally thought about running to the ring to kill everyone, but that kind of thing is not what he is doing today. It's so exciting. Not only did you discover the conspiracy of the bitchy dog, but you were also targeted by another group of bad guys. When the other party started to do something evil, you would stab them in the head, and then you could stand in the dark with your hands on your hips and laugh at them. Think about it. I feel happy just thinking about it.
Although at first glance this kind of behavior seems not very aboveboard and a bit like the behavior of a villain, but just like what my father taught me, I don't need to talk about moral principles when dealing with those scum.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
He put his hands on his hips and simulated it once in a deserted alleyway. Then he looked around and felt a little ashamed. He decided to find time to practice again later.
The agreed location was set between the courtyard where he lived and Wen Shoubin's courtyard. After meeting with Hou Yuanyong, the other party told Ning Ji the basic information about the "monkey" Guan Shanhai, and also briefly described the relationship with the other party. Party members, as well as the information of several intelligence dealers in the city. This investigative information is not allowed to be spread, so Ning Ji can only understand and remember it on the spot. Fortunately, the other party's methods are not violent. As long as Ning Ji is in Qu Longjun When officially dispatching, just cut off with one sword.
On the other hand, these people in the Intelligence Department are all human beings. Even though I am entrusting Hou Yuanyong in private, even if the other party does not report it to the superiors, they will definitely take action to investigate and eliminate Guan Shanhai in private. That doesn't matter. , Guan Shanhai was left to him, all he wanted to do was Qu... just smell the bitch here in Shoubin. There were too many goals, and sooner or later he had to share some of the fun.
"By the way, Brother Yong." After getting the information, he thought of Huangshan today and the stalker who was targeting him. Ning Ji casually chatted with Hou Yuanyong, "There have been a lot of people coming to the city with evil intentions recently, right?"
"There are many targets and we can't keep an eye on them. Xiaoji, you know, the most troublesome thing is that their ideas are always changing." Hou Yuanyong frowned and said, "These people from outside, all they wanted to do at the beginning was to watch. , after seeing half of it, I want to test it. If they really find any loopholes, they will want to take action. If it is possible to break our Chinese army into pieces, they will do it, but we can't kill people just because of this possibility. , so now it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside to prevent thieves for a thousand days.”
He paused for a moment when he said this, and then shook his head: "There is no way. The above is right about this matter. Since we have taken over this territory, if we don't have the ability, we will be finished sooner or later. We have to get over the hurdle, anyway. You have to go through it all again.”
Ning Ji nodded: "In this martial arts competition, there are so many green forest people coming in. They used to want to assassinate and cause destruction. They should be like this this time, right?"
Hearing him ask about this, Hou Yuanyong laughed: "There are not many of them now. In the past, when we rebelled, most of the people who came to assassinate us were rabble-rousers. We have already had a way to deal with it. You also know this way. Yes, all the green forest people want to gather in groups, but they can't do it..."
Ning Ji naturally knew what Hou Yuanyong said. In the past, a group of hot-blooded Green Foresters wanted to pair up and carry out assassinations, so the informants arranged nearby by the Huaxia Army pretended to be their comrades and joined in. Due to the influence of Zhuji, the Huaxia Army attacked the world. Green Forest's surveillance has always been very deep. Dozens or hundreds of people gather vigorously to assassinate their inner demons. If a grain of sand is mixed in, the rest will be wiped out in one fell swoop.
There are even several senior anti-"black" heroes in the green forest, but they are actually undercover agents arranged by the Chinese Army. This kind of thing has been exposed twice, and later, they formed a team to assassinate the inner demons in order to become famous. They couldn't get married anymore, and then all kinds of rumors started to fly, and the situation of the great cause of demon slaying in the green forest was extremely embarrassing.
In such a situation, even Lin Zongwu, the "number one in the world" who was initially determined to have a huge connection with the Chinese Army, would be suspected in rumors of being a spy who had been recruited by Ning Yi.
Lin Zongwu couldn't explain the whole thing. He might secretly suspect that Zhu Ji deliberately smeared him, but he couldn't say it. It was all shit. Of course, he didn't bother to explain it. He has had a disciple with him all these years. No one in the Central Plains dared to ask this question in front of him - maybe there was someone, but they must be dead.
"... In the past few years, Zhuji has arranged public opinion. Even if Lin Zongwu wanted to come and assassinate, no one would respond, and the rest of the mob in the green forest would not be able to make a difference." On the side of the dim street, Hou Yuanyong said with a smile. This inside information may be beaten to death by the world's best master, "However, this time in Chengdu, there are some other forces joining, which is a bit tricky."
"What?"
"Aristocratic families." Hou Yuanyong said, "Although the Chinese army was the enemy of the world in the past, we were in a corner. The Wu Dynasty would send troops to annihilate us, and the Green Forest people would come to assassinate us for the sake of fame. But these aristocratic families are more willing to do business with us. After taking advantage, they watched us get into trouble, but after the Southwest War, the situation was different. Dai Mengwei and Wu Qimei have become sworn enemies of us, and many other forces have sent troops to Chengdu."
"As I just said, they are not sure what they plan to do when they come here this time. Let's see first and then test. If they really find a way, or if a group of people unite, they have to fight in a bloody battle. It's impossible. These aristocratic families secretly have their own guardians and private slaves. The Green Forest people are not reliable, but these people are reliable. As we know now, some of the guardians and instructors from the wealthy families have signed up to participate this time. After the martial arts competition, many masters in the army will take action next month to beat them down, just to let them know that we are not easy to mess with, so that they may be more restrained. "
"Hmph!" Ning Ji's brows flashed with anger, "If you have the guts, do it. It's best to kill them all!"
"Oh, I want that too." Hou Yuanyong patted Ning Ji on the shoulder, "But as mentioned above, they came in intact, and we try to let them go out intact, so that there will be business in the future. At most, we can scare the monkeys. If the ground moves a few times, if it moves too much, it will be considered our failure. Xiaoji, you feel uncomfortable. At most, you can go to the ring to compete, but you can't kill them."
"...It's boring." Ning Ji shook his head, then smiled at Hou Yuanyong, "I'd better be a doctor. Thank you, Brother Yong, I'll leave first."
"Don't make too much noise." Hou Yuanyong smiled and waved his hand.
***************
After talking with Hou Yuanyong, Ning Yi roughly understood that Huangshan's identity was probably the guardian of some wealthy family. Although the general might take action on his side, he was probably still in a state of uncertainty.
The bad guys want to cause trouble. I have nothing wrong on my side, but I still have to worry about what these bad guys think. Killing too many people is not enough. The reasons for these things, my father once said, and the words from Hou Yuanyong's mouth were naturally the same at the beginning. It was passed down from my father, but I would never like such a thing in my heart.
The world of adults cannot be used freely, and it is not interesting. He walked all the way towards the more interesting place... Wen Shoubin and other bitches.
It was still early, and he didn't swim that night. He walked all the way to the yard and changed into night clothes. When he turned in from the side of the yard, there was only one figure in the yard facing the river at the back, but it was that figure in white clothes. Qu Longjun, she stood outside the pavilion by the river, looking at the river in the night, seemingly reciting poetry.
An orange lantern in the pavilion illuminated the ground softly, and white dresses were flying in the night wind. Across the river was the blurred night view of Chengdu in the distance, and Qu Longjun murmured something in his mouth. Xiao The bitch is quite stylish... Ning Ji quietly climbed down from the courtyard wall and hid in the rockery below. He stretched out his finger and flicked out a toad on the strange rock in front of him.
The toad flew out, and the little bitch in front of his field of vision also plopped and jumped into the river.
Ning Ji was stunned.
Swimming in a skirt? Isn’t it convenient?
Take off the tour...
It doesn’t seem to be good either…
His cheeks warmed slightly.
…
Then I got really confused and didn't know how to save the person.
