Chapter 1269 Chapter 1209 Since the first sight of a peach blossom (5)
The night sky is like a cover, and the rows of rooms exude the smell of rotten fish.
Unknown birds fly in the dark night, far and near, and fish fires float.
The man named Pu Xingui waved his hands in the darkness, leading the people to escape gradually through the cobweb-like paths.
The figure in a cloak stood on the roof of the broken shed, watching them quietly.
The Fish King Gao Zong came over and spoke with concern in the dimly lit night. Soon after, he also left.
The cloaked figure smashed things on the roof of the broken shed, lifting up large tiles and falling down. After a while, the flagpole on the edge of the roof broke and fell into the river below.
There were some waves on the river, and when we reached the fishing boat not far away, there were just simple ripples on the water. This commotion was burned in the fire of the night, and some civilians living around came out and cursed a few times.
Ning Ji scolded him back.
After a while, this brief quarrel became an ordinary and insignificant urban ripple in the night.
The night wind gently caressed the city along the river. He took off his cloak, changed into simple clothes, and walked forward along the unmaintained dirt road by the river. During this half night, the connection with Pu Xingui was very successful.
When he got the information he wanted to inquire about, he determined a strategy to deal with Chen Shuangran together, and also got the names of several people in the city who might be able to contact Chen Shuangran - this was something he had only heard of but had never implemented.
It was a complicated plan, but the sense of accomplishment was gone from the beginning.
The feeling of emptiness and pale anger lingering in my heart. To sum it up, it is probably:
——Fuck Zuo Xingzhou.
He remembered that stupid face.
That's it.
It’s okay if you lose the Zuo family’s face. This time you also lose the Huaxia Army’s face. If you go back to the southwest, you will be laughed to death!
The rest of the feeling is empty.
In fact, I once experienced the feeling of saying goodbye to my companions on the battlefield in the southwest. But perhaps because I was still young at that time, or because I was mentally prepared every day, the death of some brothers and uncles did not actually make people feel so sad.
He was caught off guard. After staying in the Chinese Army for a long time, he has always understood that the so-called cruelty of the Jianghu is far inferior to the violence of the country. Zuo Xingzhou was taken along in this childish struggle due to a misunderstanding.
It's especially hard to calm down if you want to get rid of it.
When he got angry, he punched a tree in the darkness by the river and broke a tree planted there.
When he first met Zuo Xingzhou and others, he was still a child who followed his brother, sister-in-law, black girl and others around all day. He occasionally participated in fights with his friends in the village and was often beaten to stagger.
Now, his body has grown and he is gradually entering an age of great energy and strength.
Zuo Xingzhou, who is older than him, would probably be shocked if he could take a closer look at his majesty and power at this moment. Unfortunately, he didn't beat him hard the last time they met.
It should be beaten hard...
I was thinking about useless information in my mind as I walked through the river and gradually entered the relatively crowded market area. Vendors in shabby clothes were pushing carts, and there were beggars picking their feet on the roadside, standing at the half-open door on the roadside.
Baring his yellow teeth to attract customers, the incompetent scholar was drinking and talking about the court's jokes in the restaurant. Two listless government officials passed him by with a scoundrel look on their faces. One of them took the time to look at him, but there was no reaction at all.
.
In vain...
If it were me, in such a tense situation, and I saw a man with a bruised nose and a swollen ear on the street, could I let him go?
We need to interrogate him, we need to arrest him! We need to arrest him and beat him!
He hated the small imperial court in the southeast again.
What about respecting the king and rejecting barbarians, what about constitutional monarchy, a few hooligans can’t catch it, it’s worse than bullshit! It’s not even as good as the Fairness Party!
A bunch of people from the Zuo family were thrown back here, and they all lost their souls!
Thinking like this, he walked through the Fuzhou City at night, with deserted streets and crowded downtowns. When passing a market, he sat on a bluestone bench under the intersection archway for a while, watching the people coming in front of him.
As people went, he thought in his mind that that little bitch Chen Shuangran might be hiding in a market like this, and maybe those fools would walk by him later and be caught and beaten to death by him...
...but of course things were not such a coincidence. At this time, I thought of Zuo Xingzhou again, and then I thought of the many people who had sacrificed their lives on the southwest battlefield.
Those appearances in life seemed to have passed before his eyes, and for some reason they suddenly became clearer. He remembered those uncles, uncles, brothers and sisters who had teased him, given him sweets, and beaten him.
, just like Zuo Xingzhou, made him feel sad. The life and death that he didn't quite understand when he was twelve or thirteen, and the life and death that once seemed ordinary, gradually became more profound this night. They left forever.
.
I accidentally spilled two drops of horse urine, which I waved away decisively.
There is no good luck waiting for Chen Shuangran. The next plot and revenge will still require a period of forbearance. Ning Ji stood up and walked in the direction of the princess mansion, crossing the river and small bridge, and crossing several streets.
After crossing the stone bridge, the mansion gradually came closer.
At the back of the mansion, Yue Yinping once gave him a secret code, and he was able to enter through the small door guarded by several people. He passed through the secret door and could see the sentry posts far and near. At this time, he seemed to be in contact with the people again.
There were changes during the day.
Does it change every day to be strict?
——Become like your mother!
I'm so angry.
Ning Ji walked through the alley, then climbed over the wall under the cover of trees, avoiding the blind spot of the guards, and moved forward.
When he was in the southwest, he heard people talking about the two siblings here and Fuzhou. People always said that there was still some hope here. When his father got information about this place, he would occasionally say, "The little emperor is quite diligent."
"The princess has a good mind" "There is still hope" - what a crappy hope! The garrison of the dignified Princess Mansion was in name only. He, a little-known Chinese army candidate scout, broke through several courtyards in the blink of an eye.
Entering the core area.
Then he passed through a stone arch and entered a courtyard with a small pool and a rockery. Ning Ji put his hands on his hips and was about to curse secretly. He suddenly paused because a sound of "hum hum hum" came from the front. When he looked carefully,
, beyond the cover of the rockery, there seemed to be a figure walking happily on the road over there. Just as he was about to hide, there was a sound of wind coming from the side.
"you……"
Oops...I was discovered...
The figure that came out seemed to be hiding in the blind spot of the rockery. It was unclear whether it was a guard or an assassin. The opponent rushed towards him and wanted to speak. Ning Ji was not happy and punched out hard. The fist turned into claws and howled and tore at the opponent.
Ning Ji's neck, the figure suddenly moved forward, waved his hand and drew the sword, but Ning Ji punched the sword back into the scabbard. The two figures flashed and crossed each other several times, and Ning Ji punched the man to the ground.
This hit hit the back of the neck, and the other party fainted immediately. Ning Ji's figure was like lightning, and he threw himself forward, because the figure who was grunting on the opposite side was also close, and he had obviously seen the two of them.
During the fight, Ning Ji raised his hand and wanted to knock the opponent over immediately, but stopped midway.
A little girl walked over from the opposite side, jumping up and down, licking the candy on her hand, sticking out her tongue and blinking her eyes.
Ning Ji was in a bad mood, but he couldn't really hit a silly little girl at this time. He stood there, turned his palm into a fist, and made a threatening gesture. Then he didn't care whether the other party would shout or not, and looked back.
Go, the woman lying on the ground is wearing a guard uniform, but she doesn't know why she is hiding in the dark to scare herself.
"It's useless, it's so unprofessional..." Ning Ji muttered in a low voice, cursing.
"Ah, Sister Zou..."
The little girl in front ran over with a candy bar, squatted on the ground and tapped the female guard's face, then raised her head: "What's wrong with her?"
Ning Ji put his hands on his waist for a while, then came over, squatted down, stretched out his hand to check the other person's breath: "She's still alive, she's asleep!"
"You're still alive." The little girl imitated his example and poked the female guard's nose.
This little girl is a fool. You can ask the two fools from the Yue family later if she is their sister... Ning Ji thought, looked around, then raised the woman's hands and dragged her into the rockery: "She sleeps
She is pregnant, so she cannot sleep on the road. She must find a place to sleep well."
He dragged the other party into the hole in the rockery. The little girl holding the candy seemed to think it made sense, so she followed him, found a stone from the ground and handed it to Ning Ji: "You need a pillow to sleep on." Ning Ji nodded.
That's right, after asking the other party to put the "pillow" down, the little girl picked up a few leaves and placed them on top, indicating that they were pillow towels.
With the cooperation of the two of them, the knocked-out female guard asked them to place themselves in the rockery and lie down quietly. Ning Ji felt angry, and at this time he didn't know how to continue. He exited the rockery, holding up his hands
He looked around with his hands on his hips, and then looked at the little girl standing aside who found it interesting. He was so angry that he pointed at the two of them.
"You guys know each other, right?"
"Well, I'm with Sister Zou."
"You... this world has become bad because of stupid people like you!"
"...Huh?" The little girl blinked her eyes and was stunned, not knowing why she was scolded.
"Ah what? You know her, but you don't know me. What if I am a bad person?"
"...Ah?" The other party opened his mouth and took a mouthful of candy, "Then...are you a bad person?"
"I...of course I'm not!"
"Oh, you're not." The little girl licked the candy bar twice, and then she didn't know who she was imitating. She nodded and said word by word, "Then I'm relieved."
"..."
Ning Ji was silent for a while. He didn't know whether it was because he was stupid or because the other party was so wise. He looked around with his hands on his hips and calmed down: "Then do you know who I am?"
"I don't know."
"Then let me tell you, I am a juggler."
"ah?"
"Come on, let me do a trick for you!"
Ning Ji twisted his neck, stretched his muscles, and then stretched out his hand: "Let me use your candy." After saying this, without waiting for the other party to respond, he reached out and snatched the banban candy from the other party's hand.
The little girl blinked her eyes, not sure if she wanted to cry.
Ning Ji stood in front of her and held up the candy: "Look, candy." Then he opened his mouth and said, "Ah, there's nothing there, right?"
The little girl nodded, looked into his open mouth, and then nodded again.
Ning Ji made a sound of "Ah" and slowly opened his mouth to the maximum. Then he stuffed the candy in his hand and closed his mouth with a "Woo", followed by a violent, clicking sound.
"Dang-dang-dang--"
When he pulled it out, Ning Ji only had a small stick left in his hand. He opened his mouth wide at the other party and smiled evilly: "No! Yes! La!"
The little girl blinked and looked at him.
In the darkness, it seemed to be gradually becoming watery.
Ning Ji waited for the other party to cry loudly.
He had been holding back his anger tonight and wanted to get angry. At this time, he found a little fool, and this kind of prank was already vented in the lightest way.
"Gegegege, hahahaha..."
The little girl pointed at the small stick in his hand and made a strange sound.
After identifying it for a while, he realized that the voice was actually laughter.
"Gegegegege, Gegegegege..."
The other party laughed so much that he held his belly: "You are so awesome——"
Ning Ji's face became flat.
Before he could pull off the next round of pranks, the little girl reached out and took his hand: "Come here, come here, giggle, giggle..."
The little girl smiled excitedly and pulled him through the rockery area and through the courtyard gate. In the next courtyard, the other party led him and ran into the side room. Ning Ji was not angry, so he
He saw the other party forcefully holding out a box at the head of the bed, and he carried it to the stool with difficulty and opened it. What was in front of him was a whole box of slab candies.
It's enough to last three times.
"Hahahaha, you are so awesome, I still want to see the trick..."
The little girl's voice was sweet, like eating candy. Ning Ji was so angry that he froze there. It was obvious that the other party was playing him, but he was not very sure...
At this moment, the warning sound sounded.
The torch rushed into the courtyard, and someone suddenly rushed in at the door of the room.
Ning Ji turned around and locked hands with the opponent. In the blink of an eye, he rushed around and knocked the two soldiers who rushed in first to the ground. Ning Ji rushed past the little girl and threw her down hard.
One sentence: "Only dogs eat your candy!" The little girl was startled and saw that the other party had rushed out of the rear window like the wind.
At this time, Ning Ji also knew who the other party was.
Because the warning sound in the yard was: "Someone is plotting to assassinate the princess."
This is the daughter of the little emperor Zhou Junwu. She is stupid and has no future at all. She is just as stupid as Ning Xiaoke, the stupid boy at home——
There were already more guards rushing around. Ning Ji ran wildly, across the water, over the rockery, and over the wall... He was so angry that he wanted to help the other party test the limits of the princess's palace's garrison.
After a while, Yin Ping, Yue Yun, and Qu Longjun behind the princess's mansion were also alerted. The Yue family siblings came towards this side with weapons in hand...
****
In the dark night, the commotion spread again behind the princess mansion.
It has attracted a lot of prying eyes, and I don’t know what kind of bizarre rumors will be formed by tomorrow day.
Jun Wu and Zhou Pei were worried for a while at the back of the mansion. When the guards brought the princess over and found that the little girl was not injured, they heaved a sigh of relief.
The sound of commotion spread in the rear for a while, and was suppressed after a while. The assassination last night had no results, and it happened again tonight, and it also affected the little niece who was brought by his brother. Zhou Pei was particularly angry.
He ordered Zhao Xiaosong to keep the other party, life or death.
However, Zhao Xiaosong went out for a while, and when he came back, his expression was particularly complicated.
"Assassin, the assassin has been blocked at the back, but, but... things are a little weird, and he has not been taken down..."
"Tell me more details."
"Yin, Miss Yin Ping is fighting with the opponent, but... but they won't let others pass. Yue, Yue Yun told me..." Zhao Xiaosong struggled for a moment, and she looked around.
Zhou Pei frowned and said, "What's wrong? Is there anything I can't say?"
Jun Wu waved his hand: "Others go and guard outside."
Several guards went out one after another. Zhou Pei stood there and Jun Wu held his daughter. Zhao Xiaosong cupped his hands and said in a low voice: "Yue Yun said... that man is from the southwest..."
The room was quiet for a while, and the daughter who was held in her arms was still gesturing with her hands about how to do magic tricks to eat Banban Candy: "Such a big Banban Candy..."
"What did you say? Where?" Jun Wu asked.
"Yue Yun said that he came from the southwest."
"Those who come from the southwest are the Zuo family...the Zuo family..."
Jun Wu's eyes became serious. He put his daughter down and realized that the other party would not be a traveler of the Zuo family. He listened to his daughter talking about the other party teasing her, and took a breath at this time: "...you tell me the details
point."
"Yes, this matter seems to have something to do with last night's riot. Mr. Cheng and Mr. Zuo Wenxuan were involved in this matter together. All the maid knows is..."
Zhao Xiaosong hurriedly talked about what happened last night. Halfway through his words, many clues became clear. Jun Wu waved his hand and said, "Call Cheng Zhouhai over."
Zhao Xiaosong was about to salute when Zhou Pei said: "Ask Zuo Wenxuan to come with us."
"Yes, I will..."
"Call Yue Yun over first."
"Fang Jinghao is in the house, ask him to come too... Let the two of them come here first..."
The order was chirped, and Zhao Xiaosong scurried away with his head in his arms. After the other party left, Jun Wu listened to the noise outside and walked in the room. After a while, he asked Zhou Pei: "Should you be quieter?"
"That man is just fighting with Yin Ping."
"The silver bottle can stop him. They know each other and are not bad people."
"...Let's find out first before talking."
"If he was a bad guy, something would have happened to Fuyang a long time ago." Junwu clasped his hands behind his back, walked back and forth for two steps, and then waved his hand, "Let's go, let's take a look at the back first."
"You have a bit of a city..."
"What's wrong with me just joining in the fun? It's not a serious matter..."
The emperor stepped out, and Zhou Pei had no choice but to follow behind. Halfway there, he met Yue Yun and Fang Jinghao, and listened to them talk about what happened last night...
…
In the yard, the fight gradually subsided.
Ning Ji sat on the messy courtyard floor and panted.
"What's wrong?" Yin Ping was extremely unhappy. He paced in the yard and threw a piece of cloth originally used to bandage the wound on the ground. "What are you so upset about?"
"In name only..."
"What a pretense, you think you are so great... you were fine when you went out..."
"You." Ning Ji pointed at him, "You have no hope at all. A few gangsters can't handle it. You have no hope at all."
"What a hope, what a gangster, if you don't accept it, just keep fighting!"
Ning Ji was a little tired. He had bullied the little girl and knocked down more than ten guards. His emotions gradually calmed down. Yin Ping was also angry for a while, fearing that he would continue to get angry. He sat down aside, not far from the yard.
There were guards peeping out everywhere, and they were actually quite unhappy when they were blocked.
"If I hadn't stopped them, they could have beaten you to death as many times as you wanted! Just go out..."
"...Zuo Xingzhou is dead."
Ning Ji whispered.
Only Yin Ping could hear these words, so her expression went blank for a moment.
After a while, Yin Ping supported the ground behind him with both hands and leaned his body back. In his field of vision, there was a night sky dotted with stars.
"……oh."
…
Not far away, the second-floor window of a building opened, and someone was looking this way from there. Zhou Pei seemed to find it indecent. When the window opened, he avoided looking back, but then he also tilted his head and looked here.
He looked out.
"You're really not that old..."
"Hehehehehe."
Yue Yun introduced from the side.
"This is... a famous person in the Chinese military! Everyone knows it! Everyone knows it -"
…
Under the starlight, Yin Ping reached out and patted Ning Ji on the shoulder.
